Sikuku Catacombs Dungeon Guide
To start off:
The map contains 2 types of mazes, the sewers and the prison corridors. There are several passageways to enter the sewers from the prison corridors. These passages however can be locked in which case you will have to look for another entrance. Which doors are locked is completely random and therefore every game will be slightly different.
The goal in this dungeon is to kill the 3 bosses on the map;
- Dark Shaman Ranka
- GLOOPY
- Executor Ul’Gath
These bosses are trapped inside 3 different rooms of which the doors are sealed. To unlock those doors you have to find Gloopy 3 times and Chief Turak once. Finding Gloopy 3 times will unlock both Ul’Gath & Gloopy. Gloopy hides in the sewers, after you find him, he’ll move to a different location in the sewers.
Note: these bosses reset if the entire group dies.
Gloopy
1st Location
Take the middle stairs, or the left stairs and find yourself a way into the left part of the sewers. Keep running north till you find Gloopy.
2nd & 3rd Location
Find yourself a way into the right sewers, preferably take the right stairs in the beginning and keep running, you will find the entrance to the sewers there. (Exact locations will follow once the freeze bug is fixed). There are 2 big rooms in this sewer, the first one being all the way east (I think) and the other one being slightly more north.
Chief Turak
Take the middle stairs, first turn left and keep running north, don’t enter the sewers! You will eventually find a room with prison cages where Chief Turak will speak with Dark Shaman Ranka. After this conversation, Dark Shaman Ranka will be unlocked.
Boss Rooms
Gloopy
Take the middle stairs, and take the first turn left, then keep walking north till you see the boss entrance on the left.
Gloopy is the easiest boss to kill. The only things to watch out for are the blobs that are spawned when he goes into “skeleton mode”. Kill those blobs before they reach the skeleton, or Gloopy will heal up, all the way up to full HP. In skeleton mode, Gloopy will poison the people standing close to the skeleton, but don’t worry about this, since this barely deals any damage. Gloopy will enter his skeleton mode for 4-5 times. Standing in the blue goo will decrease your attackspeed and movement speed.
Dark Shaman Ranka
Take the middle stairs, first turn right, keep following the path till you reach a room full of cages. Don’t enter the sewers, but take the path north. You will eventually see the entrance at your left.
Dark Shaman Ranka is not hard to kill, but there are a few things to note: Standing in the purple goo will decrease your attack power significantly. Sometimes an exclamation mark will pop above your head, this means a purple blob is about to fall on your head. Also this boss spawns purple balls which float in the room, although I am not sure what these things do. Last but not least, this boss has an aoe skill which hurts quite a lot.
Executor Ul’Gath
Same road as Gloopy, but instead of going north after the first turn, take the left turn.
Be careful for the spawns of Ul’Gath. These Raknu Defilers have ranged attacks which hurt a lot, best thing is to kill these spawns first because these spawns pollute the room with green goo. This green goo will decrease healing and healing received by a significant amount. Avoid standing in the goo for a long time.

TIPS
from xultrax:
Also, i still have to try it, but if you want to rush the dungeon you might want to try a 3 raider/scout 1 healer and 1 tank comp. The raiders can stealth and find the targets very easily while the cleric goes to the first boss room, and then you just do the 3 bosses as a team .
-I would recommend having more than 3 in your group(Lets just say we had a little problem with Ul´Gath with just a cleric an aoe and a raider , but im sure some people will manage )
