The Call of Octothulu is a quest with a boss called the Octothulu. Completing this quest rewards each participant with 80 gold, 800 experience, and 3 Octopus eggs. Additional Octopus eggs also become available in the Market for 3 gems each.
Availability & Cost:
It was released on June 10, 2014, and has been continuously available ever since. The quest scroll can be purchased from the Quest Shop for 4 gems. It is also part of the Aquatic Amigos quest bundle, which is only sometimes available but contains three different quests for only 7 gems.
Difficulty & Length:
The Octothulu's HP of 1200 makes this a long quest, and the strength multiplier of 2.5 gives it a base difficulty of "hard". Without using Warrior or Mage boss damaging skills, a four-person party typically takes more than four weeks to finish this quest. The hard difficulty means missed Dailies will cause higher amounts of damage to the group; having a Healer in the party is highly recommended.
Description[]
@Urse, a wild-eyed young scribe, has asked for your help exploring a mysterious cave by the sea shore. Among the twilight tidepools stands a massive gate of stalactites and stalagmites. As you near the gate, a dark whirlpool begins to spin at its base. You stare in awe as a squid-like dragon rises through the maw. "The sticky spawn of the stars has awakened," roars @Urse madly. "After vigintillions of years, the great Octothulu is loose again, and ravening for delight!"
Objective(s)[]
Defeat the Octothulu.
On Completion[]
With a final blow, the creature slips away into the whirlpool from which it came. You cannot tell if @Urse is happy with your victory or saddened to see the beast go. Wordlessly, your companion points to three slimy, gargantuan eggs in a nearby tidepool, set in a nest of gold coins. "Probably just octopus eggs," you say nervously. As you return home, @Urse frantically scribbles in a journal and you suspect this is not the last time you will hear of the great Octothulu.
