'''Octopus Cave''' is a Malangdo instance where players hunt down the notorious "Pervert Octopus" who has been harassing the local starfish population. This humorous instance features the comically villainous octopus who constantly taunts players while spawning minions to defend his lair.

== Overview ==

The peaceful starfish of Malangdo Dungeon have been terrorized by a lecherous octopus who keeps trying to kidnap their females. The Starfish guard has set up a blockade at the cave entrance and recruits adventurers to eliminate this menace once and for all.

The instance is known for its comedic dialogue, with the Disgusting Octopus making increasingly desperate and absurd excuses as you fight through his cave. Despite the light tone, the boss fight requires attention to mechanics as the octopus summons waves of minions.

----

== How to Access ==

# Travel to '''Malangdo Dungeon''' (mal_dun01).
# Find the '''Starfish''' NPC at coordinates (151, 235).
# Obtain a '''Hunting Stick''' rental item (available from Malangdo NPCs).
# As party leader, speak to the Starfish and request to enter.
# Use the '''Weird Entrance''' at (153, 237) to enter the instance.

----

== Instance Walkthrough ==

=== Stage 1: The Four Legs ===

Upon entering, the Disgusting Octopus taunts you:

{{Quote|How dare you come inside my place! But I blocked all the cave gates!! There is nothing you can do! My juniors~ There is your toy! Play with it~ kakaka|Pervert Octopus}}

# Four '''Octopus Legs''' block four different paths in the cave.
# Each leg is located at:
#* (20, 114) - Northwest
#* (88, 190) - North
#* (307, 215) - Northeast
#* (372, 131) - East
# Defeat all four Octopus Legs to open the path to the boss.
# As you destroy each leg, the octopus cries out in pain.

{{Quote|Arrgg!! That hurts!!! I need another strategy...|Pervert Octopus}}

=== Stage 2: Ambushes ===

While hunting the legs, you'll trigger ambushes:

* '''Octopus's Henchmen''' spawn in groups
* '''Mercenary Squids''' appear (hired by the octopus)
* The octopus provides comedic commentary on his failing defenses

{{Quote|Kakaka! Surprised??!! ... Looks like we have a spy among us.|Pervert Octopus}}

=== Stage 3: Boss Fight ===

After destroying all four legs, the boss arena opens:

{{Quote|Hey you!! I'll personally take care of you all! Let's bring it on!|Pervert Octopus}}

# All players are warped to the center.
# The '''Disgusting Octopus''' spawns at (199, 188).
# Throughout the fight, the boss:
#* Spawns additional '''Octopus Legs'''
#* Summons '''Octopus's Henchmen''' (5 at a time)
#* Delivers increasingly desperate dialogue

'''Boss Dialogue Examples:'''

{{Quote|You won't attack the one man. I got fired from ink manufacturer last week.|Disgusting Octopus}}

{{Quote|Why... why can't you know my heart! Do you know how hard it is to live these days because there are not many new adventurers?|Disgusting Octopus}}

{{Quote|What? I'm a disgusting octopus? You're sadists.|Disgusting Octopus}}

{{Quote|Do I have to spend Christmas alone again...|Disgusting Octopus}}

=== Completion ===

# Defeat the Disgusting Octopus.
# The boss makes one final dramatic statement:

{{Quote|That's it for today! Next time, I will play with you badly!|Disgusting Octopus}}

# Exit portals appear at (190, 208) and (198, 82).
# Return to Malangdo Dungeon.

----

== Boss Mechanics ==

The '''Disgusting Octopus''' fight has several mechanics:

'''Add Spawns:'''
* Every ~10 seconds, the boss spawns additional minions
* Either '''Octopus Legs''' or '''Octopus's Henchmen''' (groups of 5)
* Clear adds regularly to avoid being overwhelmed

'''Boss Dialogue Rotation:'''
* The boss speaks every 7 seconds with random excuses
* This is purely comedic and doesn't affect the fight

'''Positioning:'''
* Boss is stationary at the center of the arena
* Focus on controlling add spawns while damaging the boss

----

== Memorable Quotes ==

The Disgusting Octopus has some of the most memorable (and absurd) dialogue in RO:

{{Quote|Instinct of mating is for males, what did I do wrong?|Disgusting Octopus}}

{{Quote|Youth unemployment became a big issue these days... You won't get a job if you keep playing with me here.|Disgusting Octopus}}

{{Quote|Hand on your heart and think if you come onto anyone...|Disgusting Octopus}}

{{Quote|Violence cannot be justified in any case.|Disgusting Octopus}}

----

== Tips ==

* '''Get the Hunting Stick first''' - You cannot enter without this rental item.
* '''Clear the four legs efficiently''' - Split up if your party is strong enough.
* '''Watch for ambushes''' - Enemies spawn when you enter certain areas.
* '''Control adds during boss''' - Don't let Henchmen stack up.
* '''Enjoy the dialogue''' - This instance is meant to be funny!
* '''AoE helps''' - Lots of grouped enemies throughout.
