====== Octopus Cave Instance Guide ======

The **Octopus Cave** instance is a part of the rAthena project where players must defeat the **Disgusting Octopus** and his minions. This guide will walk you through the steps to successfully complete the instance.

===== Requirements =====
  * Base Level: 130 or higher.
  * Must be in a party.
  * Only the party leader can initiate the instance.

===== Starting the Instance =====
1. **Talk to Starfish in mal_dun01 (151, 235)**:
   - The party leader must speak to **Starfish** to initiate the instance.
   - Ensure your party is formed before starting. Solo players cannot enter.

2. **Instance Creation**:
   - Starfish will check if you are the party leader. If your party meets the requirements, Starfish will open the **Octopus Cave** instance.
   - You will need a special pick to enter, so make sure you have one ready.

===== Inside the Octopus Cave =====
Once inside the instance, you will encounter several challenges:

1. **Octopus Legs**:
   - Defeat the **Octopus Legs** scattered throughout the cave. There are four key areas where the legs appear:
     * Leg 1: (20, 114)
     * Leg 2: (88, 190)
     * Leg 3: (307, 215)

   - Defeating the legs in these areas will allow you to progress.

2. **Octopus Henchmen**:
   - After dealing with the legs, you will encounter waves of **Octopus Henchmen**.
   - Be prepared to clear several waves before facing the boss.

===== Boss Fight: Disgusting Octopus =====
1. **Final Battle**:
   - The **Disgusting Octopus** will appear as the final boss of the instance.
   - During the fight, the Octopus will spawn additional legs and henchmen to attack your party. Defeat them while focusing on the boss.

2. **Defeating the Boss**:
   - Coordinate with your party to defeat the Octopus. Be cautious of its powerful attacks and constant summoning of additional enemies.

===== Completing the Instance =====
1. **Return to Starfish**:
   - After defeating the Disgusting Octopus, return to **Starfish** to complete the instance and collect your rewards.

2. **Exit the Instance**:
   - Use the exit portals or speak to the Starfish to leave the instance after claiming your rewards.

===== Tips =====
  * **Teamwork**: Coordinate with your party to manage the waves of enemies and the boss.
  * **Healing**: Bring plenty of healing items, as the fight with the Disgusting Octopus can be challenging.
  * **Cooldown**: After completing the instance, there will be a cooldown period before you can re-enter.

Good luck on your quest to defeat the Disgusting Octopus!
