Description

The Oculus, meaning the eye that reflects the world, is a place featured in a legend of the Dark Elves that tells of a being who was higher than the sky and its clone who was confined in this place. The Grim Seekers have occupied and declared The Oculus their sanctum, calling it the place of resurrection of a great being, and are now performing a secret ritual in there.

Entrance Requirements & Rules

  • Availability: The Oculus is opened every day.
  • Weekly/Daily Entry Count: Can be entered twice, Rewards are only recieved once. (Resets on Tuesday)
  • Quest Requirement: Accept and clear the Epic Quest Icon.png Another Sign Scenario Quest from Oberith Rosenbach first.
  • Entry Requirement: 8 Fatigue Points.
  • Player Limit: Can be done as a 4-Man or Solo play.
  • Adventurer Fame: 6436 (Guide) | 7109 (Normal) | 10,815 (Abysmal Sanctum)
  • Speak with Knight Robato to create a party inside the Oculus channel, once everything is fully prepared, talk to Highmore on the right side on West Coast's harbor to start initiating the mission.
  • Although the Life Token.png Life Token limit is 2, this can be increased.
  • There is no penalty for retreating the dungeon. When resuming through Highmore, you'll restart at the beginning point of your last floor, and normal monsters respawn.

Time Limit

  • You have 20 Minutes in the form of a Ritual Completion gauge that is located beneath the Mini-map status board. The gauge itself will increase slowly by 1% and if it reaches 100%, the mission fails and your entry count is replenished. However, the percentage can be lowered by defeating two of the Grim Seeker bosses or accessing Nayu's shop if she's freed from defeating Tria Cerebrum.

Unique Effects

  • Weaken Barrier: Defeating Roseberry & Louise results in by not only interrupting the Grim Seekers' Ritual that lowers the gauge by 20%, but adds a permanant Damage Intensification buff to the party. Alternatively, Soryun in her Apostle-Obsessed form can also carry over the buff regardless if either Grim Seeker boss was kept alive or not.
  • Chaotic Effect: Upon entering the Oculus, the party's vision is blocked out by a Imposters' Fog, meaning that it'll prevent them from seeing bosses or the stairs that are located, plus all monsters (Normal/Bosses) will gain a buff that strengthens theirs stats and can make Grim Seeker fights even more difficult.
  • By defeating the first Imposter boss Blood Ria or Nerolotte, it'll weaken the effect by starting with a red exclamation point (!) showing the stairs/boss location, and the second Imposter's defeat completely restores vision, making exploration much easier alongside removing the buff on that specific floor.

Normal Mode

Released in May 2020, The Oculus: The Sanctum of Resurrection is a special dungeon located within Sky Tower that has now been occupied by the Grim Seekers to carry out their goal on resurrecting Apostle Sirocco. Inside of the Oculus, consists of Four Basement Floors in total known as Pilgrim Shelters, with B4 being the Altar of Truth where Prophet Ezra resides. Your party's main objective is to traverse through this huge maze-like dungeon, take down the Grim Seekers and interrupt their ritual.

Pilgrim Shelters B1-B3

  • The party will always start off on the upper right corner of each shelter that act as floors consisting of 15 rooms that are filled with normal monsters that changes in appearance when descending upon each Shelter. Bosses such as Roseberry or Louise can appear at Shelters B1 or B2 and Mini-Bosses like Blood Ria, Nerolotte, etc can randomly spawn on either floor in different positions with. Soryun herself, is always located within Shelter B3 that is mandatory to defeat in order to access B4: Altar of Truth.
  • Each one of these bosses are completely optional to defeat or skip entirely, although the latter decision to skip either Grim Seeker boss can heavily affect the outcome regarding Soryun's fight when encountering her in Shelter B3 as this activates her Apostle-Obsessed form only if Roseberry/Louise weren't encountered or one boss was left alive.
  • Cooldowns on party members' skills will be automatically reset upon descending into another Pilgrim Shelter.

B4 - The Altar of Truth

  • This is where Prophet Ezra's located, defeat Soryun in Pilgrim Shelter B3 first to gain access downstairs.

Abysmal Pilgrim Shelters

As the Imposter/Pandemonium Bosses occupy the upper and lower rooms, the Grim Seeker Boss rooms are mainly a straight narrow path and four other rooms being empty that serve no purpose other than leading towards one-way paths.
