Access to Malangdo Island
Must have Octopus Stick in inventory
Must be in a party
- If soloing, you have to be the party leader
Must not be in cooldown (instances resets every 3 hours) (to confirm)

Buying the Octopus Stick

The Octopus Stick can be bought from the Special Vending Machine near the Blacksmith at Malangdo (/navi 219/164)

To buy the stick, the currency needed are Nyavine Fruits which you can obtain from the Cash Shop.

More nyangvine fruits are needed the longer you want the stick to be active.

Instance Proper

Once you have the hunting stick, go to Malangdo Dungeon (it’s the first paw of the Malangdo Island Map on the top left of it). Then inside the dungeon, go to this location:

Talk to Starfish and choose Ask to Open the Gate

Wait for the queue to finish. Then talk to the hole in the wall named Weird Entrance behind the Starfish to start the Instance.

You will spawn in the Octopus Cave. The Cave will have 5 warps: 1 in the north, 2 on the sides, and 3 on the bottom. Think of the map as a big octopus with the north portal being the head and the other portals being the legs.

In each of the Leg Portals is a long hallway full of water mobs. At the end of these hallways is an Octopus Leg. You have to eliminate each of the Octopus Legs in the fourt Leg Portals (north east, north west, south east, south west) to advance.
- Do not go to the South Portal. This is just a way out of the Dungeon.
- You can opt not kill the mobs in the hallway and run past them.
- The Octopus Legs, while weak, can cast Storm Gust (Marc card will be handy) and will summon hoardes of Octopi.

After you kill the fourt Octopus Leg, you will be spawned back to the center of the Octopus Cave. Prepare and buff up for the boss fight and go up the north portal to face the boss.
In boss room, similar water mobs will spawn but to finish the instance you only need to eliminate the Giant Octopus (see stats below) in the middle of the room.
- Watch out for Waterball. Water resist potions and cards will be handy.
- Watch out for Storm Gust. Marc card will be handy.

Once eliminated the Giant Octopus can drop High Weapon Box and variations fo Malangdo Coin Bags.
