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

  • Reach Level 100.
  • Accept and clear the Epic Quest Icon.png Another Sign Scenario Quest from Oberith Rosenbach first.
  • No materials required.
  • 30 Fatigue Points.
  • Party of 4. (Normal/Abysmal)
  • 5,750 Exorcism or higher required.
  • Opened on all days and can enter once a day up to three times. (Daily Entry count resets 9:00 UTC)
    • The third entry can be seen as a backup, but cannot offer rewards if the dungeon was ran twice.
  • Weekly rewards can only be received twice. (Weekly Reward count resets on Tuesdays)
  • 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 either Roseberry or Louise results in by not only interrupting the Grim Seekers' Ritual that lowers the gauge by 20%, but adds a permanant Damage Intensification effect to the party.
  • Chaotic Effect: On either Shelter floor, the party's vision is blocked by a "Imposters' Fog", meaning that it not only prevents them from seeing bosses or the stairs that are located, but both normal and boss monsters who are on that current floor will be strengthened with increased stats. Defeating either or both Blood Ria & Nerolotte results in weaken the effect that's able to stack twice and 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 in the 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 4 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's 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 state only occurs 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.

Requirements & Restrictions

The Abysmal Sanctum

Released in a June 2020 update, The Oculus: Abysmal Sanctum was introduced. It is essentially a much difficult and harder version of Normal Oculus where Sirocco takes control of the Sky Tower after being resurrected by the Grim Seekers.

Abysmal Sanctum Requirements & Adjustments

  • Reach Level 100.
  • Accept and clear the No quests found that satisfy the search criteria. Scenario Quest.
  • 8 Fatigue Points.
  • Requires a party of 4 Players.
  • 5,938 Exorcism or higher.
  • No Daily or Weekly entry limits, but can only receive Daily rewards once a day.
  • Time Limit (Ritual Gauge) lowered to 15 minutes.
  • Life Token.png Life Token limit is raised to 4.
  • The buff "Lemidia Basilica Blessing" is added.
  • Trainee Nayu's potions that were purchased in her shop in Abysmal Sanctum can only be used in that difficulty and are restricted from usage in both Oculus Normal & Guide Mode.
  • Speak with Oberith to create a party, then speak to Teida Beonarr inside of B1 Pilgrim Shelter to initiate the mission.

Abysmal Pilgrim Shelters

  • B1 Pilgrim Shelter functions more like a home base for the party to prepare their composition which is similar to West Coast's Harbor. While the dungeon remains maze-like and instead of traversing through 15 rooms per floor, B2 is now shorten down to only consist of 13 with the first one being the starting point rather than being positioned at the upper right corner. 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. B3 is now the Altar of Truth, as defeating Ezra will clear Abysmal Sanctum.

Monster Adjustments

  • All Monsters will have their stats and difficulty increased with Bosses gaining newer attack patterns.
  • Their locations will be reallocated once a day.
  • Killing Blood Ria or Nerolotte adds 5 minutes to the time limit.
