Koutoulou's Temple

Quests linked to Koutoulou's Temple

The dungeon's quest, From Bad to Ungodly, takes you through the temple to the Koutoulou Larva, then has you fight the Yellow Priest right after. Accept it before entering: a fight won without the quest in progress does not count.

The 5 rooms of Koutoulou's Temple

Five fights, and Madness states throughout the dungeon: how they work is detailed in the boss section. Before the last room, it is very rare for a character to reach Madness 10. For each room: the scenery, then the tactical view with the starting cells (blue: you, red: the monsters). Tap an image to enlarge it.

Room 1

Room 2

Room 3

Room 4

Room 5 — the Koutoulou Larva

The Koutoulou Larva and its acolytes. Here, each direct damage makes you swap places with the nearest entity. Outside tactical mode, you can see the real Koutoulou at the back of the map: you only fight one of its larvae.

Defeat the Koutoulou Larva

The five-step strategy against the Koutoulou Larva

The Madness states

They range from 1 to 10 and are displayed above the character. Four thresholds matter: Madness 2 makes you deal your damage to all allies within 2 range of you, Madness 4 halves the healing received, Madness 6 increases the damage you take, and Madness 10 kills. Each threshold keeps the penalties of the previous ones.

You gain a state when Crazy Cacophony, Corrosive Sphere, Morbidrain or Koutonian Blow hit you, when the N'yalgy pulls you, on each turn played by your double, and when you end your turn in the Larva's line of sight. In its room, swapping places twice with the same entity in a turn adds one.

Cosmic Horror: the position swaps

In the boss room, each direct damage on an enemy makes you swap places with the nearest entity, ally or enemy, summons excepted. It is a forced movement: neither Gravity nor Rooted prevents it. Poisons, on the other hand, trigger no swap.

Swapping twice with the same enemy in your turn makes it invulnerable until your next turn, and gives you a Madness state; swapping twice with the same ally gives one Madness state. The effect is limited to 10 times per turn: beyond that, you hit freely until the next turn.

The doubles

The Spookkoth duplicates you in melee, with Horrifeye or the Dementriangle glyph. Your double advances toward the monsters without hitting, you take its damage, and each of its turns adds a Madness state to you. Push it against a monster to eliminate it; a hit that kills it in one blow is not passed back to you.

The Skt-Zo, for its part, duplicates a monster within 3 range or less from turn 2, and the double plays like a real monster. It cannot copy the Larva: no need to keep it away, but keep it away from the Flauticultist.

The monsters of Koutoulou's Temple

Five level-200 acolytes with 6,000 HP, each weak in a different element (-9%). The resistances in red are their weaknesses.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Flauticultist — the most dangerous: 4 MP removal at range, a big hit in melee and boosting its allies.
2. Skt-Zo — it duplicates monsters from turn 2 and steals vitality.
3. Spookkoth — its doubles make you take their damage and gain Madness.
4. Diepwon, then N'yalgy — less dangerous, they are kept at a distance with obstacles and MP removal.

Preparing your run through Koutoulou's Temple

A level 200 dungeon where the danger comes as much from Madness as from blows. People come for From Bad to Ungodly, the achievements, the Totem of Fear and the Immiscible and Unspeakable Oil: the Koutoulou Larva cannot be captured.

How to enter Koutoulou's Temple

The entrance is in the Abysses of Sufokia, in [27,26], on the Rygurgal Plateau. You go down into the abysses from the Palace of Sufokia [23,24] ; the nearest zaap is the one at Sufokia [13,26]. There are three ways to open it: a Koutoulou's Temple Key (consumed), the key ring if it is registered on it, or the automatic group search.

Crafting the Koutoulou's Temple Key

It is crafted at a handyman's workshop. Three ingredients drop from the dungeon's monsters: Diepwon Tentacle, N'yalgy Tentacle and Spookkoth's Eye. Mahaquany Wood, Sepiolite, Limpet, Salikronia and Quisnoa complete the recipe.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Diepwon Tentacle	2	200
N'yalgy Tentacle	2	200
Spookkoth's Eye	2	200
Mahaquany Wood	1	200

Which team to bring against the Koutoulou Larva

Poisons and single-line spells. Poisons hit without causing a place swap: use them freely. For the rest, prefer spells with a single line of damage, which limit swaps, Madness and invulnerabilities.

Something to break line of sight. A summon placed in front of the Larva at the end of the turn protects you from the teleportation. Gravity, Unmovable or Rooted do the same job on a character, and Gravity on the Larva blocks its swaps.

MP removal and pushing. Removing MP from the Skt-Zo and the Spookkoth stops them from duplicating, and pushing the Larva back keeps it out of range when it is alone. Ranged damage does the rest.

The comfortable classes. The Sram hits with poison without a position swap and hides with their invisibility: it is the basis of the Duo. The Pandawa positions, carries and stabilises, essential for Impertinence, and their Pandawasta can pin the Spookkoth in a corner. Any class that summons can cut the Larva's line of sight at each end of turn.

The six achievements of Koutoulou's Temple

Each achievement gives 200,000,000 XP and 2 Koutoulou Larva Wing, and Duo doubles the XP; Sidekick gives 75,000,000 XP. Cautious is practically free with the basic strategy, but it prevents Impertinence in the same fight.

Cautious

No ally must end their turn next to an enemy. No particular difficulty: never end your turn in contact with a monster, and always stay out of the Larva's line of sight so you are not teleported next to it.

Impertinence

Each ally must end their turn next to an enemy. You need a Pandawa with 81 dodge, to reliably escape the Skt-Zo's lock, 6 MP, Boozer, Brewing and the Helmet Hicc, which recasts Stabilisation every 2 turns. Kill the Flauticultist and Spookkoth quickly, then keep only the Pandawa and your best hitter alive, letting the others die in contact with the monsters. The Pandawa gets in contact with the Skt-Zo while carrying the other character, and puts the Larva 5 cells behind the Skt-Zo, in line. Each turn: drop the ally, cast Stabilisation or Brewing on the Skt-Zo, go hit the Larva to swap places, throw it onto its cell, use Boozer or Dépicole for one MP, return to the Skt-Zo and pick the ally up again. While Carried, the ally hits the Larva without swapping places, with 50% less damage. Two hits in the turn still give Madness: a single hit per turn is enough. Finish the Skt-Zo without moving.

Special: Musical Chairs

After its first turn, each enemy must swap places with an ally at least once between each of its turns. Simpler with four: with five, a N'yalgy is added, and its summons seem to have to be swapped too. One swap per monster per turn is enough, thanks to the dungeon's mechanic; a Pandawa and your summons help do it without exposing yourself. Kill the Flauticultist quickly, move the Skt-Zo away from the other monsters on turn 2 to avoid a copy, remove the doubles, and keep the Larva for last: swap with it every turn by hitting it until it dies.

Duo

Two characters maximum, fewer than 40 turns. Many classes solo the Larva; the best known is still an Agility Sram with any class. Toxic Injection and Insidious Poison kill monsters without hitting them directly. The second character, single-element with a single-line weapon and the Ebony Dofus, dumps everything on the Flauticultist: it does not need to survive long. The Sram plays invisible out of the Larva's sight, then moves away, summons a double in front of themself to cut the line of sight and swaps places with the monsters to take cover. Against the Larva alone: 7 MP of distance, behind an obstacle, Fear every turn and poisons.

Sidekick: Mini Inuits

Four characters minimum, including an eligible sidekick, such as Inferno, Styx, Mandrin or Will Killson. The basic strategy does not change. Protect the sidekick from MP removal and from the Larva's line of sight, and keep four fighters until the victory.

Koutoulou's Temple as a guild Expedition

The Temple exists in two guild Expeditions, Audacious and Valour. The course remains that of a normal fight: Spookkoth kept away, Flauticultist killed before turn 2 of the Skt-Zo, a summon in front of the Larva at the end of each turn.

• Audacious: each swap caused by Cosmic Horror gives 1 AP and 1 MP for one turn, but removes 5% of maximum HP for 2 turns, from you as well as the swapped ally, and everything stacks;
• enough to pull off huge turns and hide easily, but the HP penalty builds up fast: one or two direct attacks per turn remain manageable, and poisons and summons avoid the problem;
• Valour: at the start of its turn, an enemy under Hallucination, therefore swapped with you, gains 20% of its HP as a shield; otherwise, it gains 50% final damage;
• so swap mainly with the most dangerous ones, the Flauticultist and the Larva, but not with the Skt-Zo, which deals no direct damage and stays your target: no shield for it;
• the Larva is handled from a distance, in a corner and away from its allies. When alone, do not put it under Hallucination: it would gain 4,000 shield. Hit every other turn, or poison it, which gives neither a swap nor a shield.

How do the Madness states work?

They go from 1 to 10, and Madness 10 kills outright. Monster hits, your doubles, ending turns in the Larva's sight and repeated swaps make them climb; you lose one at the start of each turn.

How do you avoid the Larva's teleportation?

End your turn out of her line of sight. An obstacle or a summon in front of her is enough; Gravity, Unmovable and Rooted also protect you.

Which monster should you target first in Koutoulou's Temple?

The Flauticultist, ideally before turn 2. The Skt-Zo will no longer be able to duplicate it. Next come the Skt-Zo, then the Spookkoth.

You swapped places with it twice in the same turn. It stays invulnerable until your next turn: prefer poisons and spells with a single line of damage.

No, the Koutoulou Larva cannot be captured. No soul stone is needed.

Can Koutoulou's Temple be done with two characters?

Yes, it is even an achievement: two characters, fewer than 40 turns. An Agility Sram who kills the monsters with poison, with any other class, is the best-known method.
