Notes
-
- Does not have a "mini window"; Morbolger can spawn at any time during the 3 hour window.
- Unusually aggressive - Morbolger will attack level 75 characters without hesitation.
- Soloable by most jobs at level 60; Soloable by Monk before level 60, with the use of Hundred Fists. Soloable by a 71SMN by summoning Carbuncle and waiting for Morbolger to aggro. Carbuncle will kill for you.
Historical Background
The name Morbolger apparently means pertaining to Malebolge, or the "evil pit". Malebolge was the 8th circle of Hell in Dante's Divine Comedy. The 2nd deepest level of Hell, it was a large cavern shaped like an inverted cone. It was divided into 10 concentric ditches, each called "bolgia" (Italian word for "ditch"). Bridges run from each of the bolgia to the center, giving the whole place a wheel-like appearance. At the center of Malebolge is the 9th and final circle of Hell, Cocytus (a frozen lake where Satan resides). The lower edge of Malebolge is guarded by some Titans from mythology, such as Antaeus. Thus, Malebolge is where the worst sinners reside and are punished (excluding traitors, who reside with Satan). Malebolge means "evil ditches".
