Crocoburio, at the bottom left, must reach the Ebony Dofus before Grougalorasalar, at the bottom right. Each of your actions moves one of the two forward by one cell: Crocoburio needs 14 cells, the dragon only 8. You lose no HP and have no MP: you move with four spells. Rules and tips below.

The fights
Level 220
Boss of the Solar's Tower dungeon, entrance at . Its soul is used to satiate Crocobur.
Level 200
At the Osamodas Vestiges, solo fight. The sword has 8,000 base HP and 10 base MP. On the first turn, it plants itself in the ground: unmovable, invulnerable, and 100 MP fewer. When you hit it, it becomes vulnerable again on the next turn, regains its MP and comes to hit you, then becomes invulnerable again: vulnerable every other turn, or invulnerable for two turns if you don't hit it. On each of its turns, it gains 800 Vitality, 50 Power and 10 Lock, with no limit. It has a very long range and is easily pulled to you. The Dokoko and the Ivory Dofus are a must, along with strong hitting power; a character able to remove their own enchantment gets a boost.
-
Crococon
Hits 600 in Neutral and applies a poison of 21 to 30 Air damage for 3 turns, stackable.
-
Crocobur's Appetite
Hits 200 in Neutral, as life steal.
Level 200
In , solo with your companion. Four waves of 2 Swampy Gloot (5,000 HP, 35% Earth resistance), one every 5 turns. If a Gloot has line of sight to you at 12 range or less, it summons an L'il Swampy Gloot (2,500 HP, 30% Earth resistance) and stays invulnerable as long as it lives; it can summon another every 5 turns. Kill at least one of its summons to make it vulnerable. Tip for Iops: full Water gear, stand in a corner and chain Cleaver.
-
Muddy Missile
In a line only, up to 6 range, with line of sight. Hits 200 in Earth in a line of size 3.
-
Swamp Spread
Summons an L'il Gloot and makes itself invulnerable (infinite) as long as its summon is alive.
-
I Am Gloot
Up to 2 range. Hits 130 in Water and applies a 20 dodge penalty.
-
Englootment
In a line or diagonal only, up to 4 range, with line of sight. Hits 250 in Earth and removes 2 MP.
Levels 1 to 200
Tactical fight, solo. You start from the center of the map. Black and white glyphs and pillars bearing the logo of your 4 spells change place and size each turn. Mentally project the glyphs placed around the center onto yourself: a black glyph on a pillar makes the dragon advance; no glyph on a pillar makes Crocoburio advance; a white glyph on a pillar makes Crocoburio advance and recharges that pillar's spell. Never stay in the same position and never end your turn on the black glyph at the center: the dragon advances. Ending on a white glyph at the center recharges your 1 spells. When a spell's cursor reaches the black glyph, that spell is blocked until it recharges: always aim for one or more pillars with a white glyph.
-

Teleports you onto a cell in front of you.
-
Reflection
Cast at 2 range. Teleports you symmetrically relative to a pillar.
