Cultist Prison
The Cultist Prison is a dungeon located at the heart of the Lower Plateau, far-east of Argan Village. The entrance is partially hidden by thick trees and well-guarded by tar sproutlings, obscuring the area. It spans several maps long, armed to the teeth with cultists. At the center of the prison, lies the boss, trapped behind bars.
Although anyone can access the initial area, you require a Master Prison Key in order to gain access to the rest of the prison (opening the locked gate to get inside). As a group, only one adventurer needs to possess the key, in order to temporarily unlock the Prison for the rest of the group members.
The recommended level for The Cultist Prison is 28-30, and adventurers above level 32 will be scaled down to that level for the dungeon. Note that scaling only occurs when you or a party member who is level 32 or under enters the dungeon, otherwise it remains unscaled upon entry. Unlike other dungeons, there are no summon stones to change the level.
Rufus Lockbash
| Name | Rufus Lockbash |
|---|---|
| Epithet | Prison Key Master |
| Level | 31 |
| Classification | Brute |
| Element | Earth 2 |
| Health | 3,100 |
| Resistances | None |
Although a named monster, this cultist drops the key needed to access the rest of the prison. He is fairly easy to defeat, only having 3,100 health at most.
He can be found in the Key Keeper's Quarters west of the locked gate inside the prison. Once the key is obtained, speak to Tyn to restore the key to it's former state. You may need to gather additional materials in order to obtain the key (first time only), then afterwards it can be repaired indefinitely for free (if you happened to dispose of the key, and obtained a bent key again from Rufus).
Entering the Cultist Prison
As you enter beyond the locked gate, you come to a dead-end with a broken platform. In order to proceed onto the rest of the prison, you have to fall down (and barely survive with 1 health remaining). There will be a Glacial Water Spirit to heal you (you can also talk to it in order to leave the prison), and some unnamed spirits fending off against snakes. As you traverse through the maps, you eventually come to the West Prison Block, where you encounter the boss.
Crazed Sporebark Watcher
| Name | Crazed Sporebark Watcher |
|---|---|
| Level | 33+ |
| Classification | Brute |
| Element | Earth 5 |
| Health | 65,000 |
| Resistances | Immune to stun, freeze, silence, sleep and charm. |
The Crazed Sporebark Watcher is the only boss in the Cultist Prison. It can be found behind bars in a jail cell in the West Prison Block. If you try to attack or pass it, it will break out of it's cage, beginning the boss fight. It's defending element is Earth 5, making it heavily weak to Fire, Poison attacks (as well as Water and Light). As long as you have the right element equipped, you should be able to inflict enough damage to quickly defeat it.
