Sealed Shrine Instance

Table of Contents

Introduction

The Sealed Shrine is an instance located within the St. Capitolina Abbey of Prontera field. It is a two-map dungeon where you help an Ancient Hero in defeating and sealing the Great Demon Baphomet. The instance grants players a chance to obtain various items after defeating the MVP, including the Cursed Baphomet Doll which is used for crafting the Gigantic Majestic Goat headgear.

Requirements

Level Requirement: 75+
Party: (1 or more members)
Monster Hunting: Unsealed Baphomet
Time Limit: 2 Hour
Cooldown: 12 Hours

How to Access

1. Make your way to St. Capitolina Abbey (also known as the Monk Job Change map) which is one East, one North, and two additional East from Prontera.

2. Locate and enter the building at /navi prt_monk 192/170. Head to the portal at the north, and then the portal to the East.

3. Walk North and speak to Friar Patrick. The Party Leader will need to generate the instance by telling him that you want to enter.

Once completed, click on Grave of Baphomet behind him and select ‘Touch this’ to enter the instance.

Instance Proper

A. First Map Walkthrough

1. Once the party is warped inside, make your way to the Hero’s Falling Grave at 141/221. Have the Party Leader speak to it and select the ‘Waited for me?’ option.

2. After speaking to the Falling Grave, search around the map and interact with other Falling Graves (tombstones) until one hands out a Pendant of Spirit.

Note that if a non-Party Leader receives the pendant, have the member relay the location of the correct Falling Grave to the leader (despite the pendant being tradeable, the next step requires the leader to claim his or her own pendant in order to proceed).

3. When the Party Leader acquires the pendant and interacts with the Hero’s Falling Grave, an announcement will be broadcasted saying that the hero’s soul will wait for the party in front of the altar of fire located at the center of the map.

4. The Party Leader must proceed towards 176/119 and speak to the Soul of Ancient Hero. The top three dialogue options (Holy essence of fire, Token of Monk and What should I do) should all be selected and finished first before selecting the ‘I’m ready’ option. Once initiated, the party has one hour to complete the next tasks.

5. Have the Party Leader obtain Essence of Fire from the Bobbing Torches scattered around the map. A total of 12 torches are in the dungeon, and 10 Essences of Fire will be required.

6. Each party member will need to acquire one Token of Apostle from killing ‘Apostle of Baphomet’ monsters which spawn in the dungeon.

These items go directly into one’s inventory and can be traded to party members who have not gotten one yet. Apostles do not respawn and leaving + re-entering the instance will take all of the party member’s tokens, so keep that in mind when doing this task.

7. Once 10 Essence of Fires and 1 Token of Apostle have been obtained, Party Leader must return to the center of the map and interact with the Soul of Ancient Hero in order to open the portal leading to the second floor (located at the Southeast of the dungeon). Make sure all party members have at least one token before proceeding. All tokens in the inventory will be taken when moving to the next map.

B. Second Map Walkthrough

1. Proceed to The Main Altar at 79/65 (while killing the mobs which spawn along the way) and summon the Unsealed Baphomet MVP (which is a larger version of MVP Baphomet in terms of sprite size).

2. The party will have a 3-second burst window to deal damage to Unsealed Baphomet before it triggers its invulnerable mechanic. The MVP does not contain a green aura like regular field and dungeon MVPs, but if it stays alive and enters the invulnerability state, proceed to the next steps in order to make it vulnerable again.

3. Lure the invulnerable Unsealed Baphomet into either one of the following Magical Formation of Seals: Main (a few paces North of the MVP’s spawn point), Northwest, Southwest, Northeast and Southeast. An announcement will state which formation will be available to weaken the boss monster. While traversing the dungeon to lure the MVP, keep in mind that mobs may spawn (trigger resets at 5-minute intervals) when standing or walking through an area near the exits to the outer path.

4. Once Unsealed Baphomet is inside the formation, have a player talk to the Magical Formation of Seal to weaken the MVP. The party will have a few seconds to damage the boss monster once again before the invulnerability state returns. The player who interacts with the Magical Formation of Seal will be stoned for 30 seconds (cannot be blocked by Stone Immunity, but can be cured via Blessing), will lose around 60% of their HP and be put on a 3-minute cooldown before being able to interact with another seal. Repeat this step until Unsealed Baphomet has been defeated.

5. After defeating the Unsealed Baphomet, speak to the Soul of Ancient Hero to leave the instance.

Monster Information

Rewards

Unsealed Baphomet’s drop table has slightly different items compared to the original Baphomet MVP’s. The notable items you may obtain are the Bloodied Shackle Ball (Accessory which gives +50 ATK when equipped with the Shackles footgear), Tae Goo Lyeon (2H Sword with After-Cast-Delay reduction at +9 refine, making it a great weapon to use for Lord Knights and Rune Knights) and Cursed Baphomet Doll (which can be used to make the Gigantic Majestic Goat headgear).

Requirements:
Items Consumed: Cursed Baphomet Doll x1, Majestic Goat x1, Crystal of Darkness x30, Fragment of Darkness x50
Monster Hunting: Unsealed Baphomet
Zeny: 990,000z

1. With the Cursed Baphomet Doll inside your inventory, speak to Friar Patrick and talk about the doll.

2. Make your way to Rust Blackhand at /navi prt_monk 261/91. Hand over the doll as well as the other item + Zeny requirements in exchange for the Gigantic Majestic Goat.

Application

An instance introduced back in pre-Renewal, Sealed Shrine has become easier to accomplish when running with 3rd Job classes, but still imposes some challenges for players unfamiliar with it. The maze-like layout and invulnerability mechanic makeup for some of the interesting points to run the instance. Although some of the instance’s rewards are dated, some of them such as Tae Goo Lyeon and Gigantic Majestic Goat may still be used as F2P options for some classes and are viable until one is able to acquire better gear.

Special thanks to Cai, Rime and Jarek from RO GGH Discord for sharing their knowledge on the class and making this guide possible.
