  • N/A
Special Abilities Passive Traits

  • Hex Eye: Gaze attack inflicting Paralysis Paralyze on everyone in its line of sight.
  • Petrogaze: Gaze attack inflicting Petrification Petrification on everyone in its line of sight.
    • Much longer readying time than that of Hex Eye. Can be easily stunned and/or avoided by looking away from the monster.
Physical Qualities Magical Qualities
  • Has fast attack speed and moderate rate of Double Attack (approx. 50%).
  • Casts all Black Magic single-target Tier IV spells, AoE Tier III spells, and Sleepga II.
Further Notes
  • Buy a new Clear Abyssite and either upgrade it in a different zone or only go to spawns that say "The Orange Abyssite resonates feebly".
  • After you get another Colorful Abyssite, only go to spawns that say "The Orange Abyssite resonates softly".
  • If you see "The Orange Abyssite resonates solidly", move far away and try elsewhere.
  • It's possible both T2 and T3 may be near each other. If so, just move to a different zone and come back later.
  • Chainspell is used at approximately 80%, 60%, 40%, and multiple times at 20% and below.
    • Chainspell will completely reset enmity causing Shoggoth to cast on anyone within range with or without provocation.
    • If there are no targets within range when it uses Chainspell, Shoggoth will become passive and de-spawn immediately.

Historical Background[]

The Shoggoth was a fictional abomination created by the pulp horror novelist H.P. Lovecraft, featured in his sonnet Fungi from Yuggoth and his novel At the Mountains of Madness, and later in The Shadow over Innsmouth and The Thing on the Doorstep. Created by the Elder Things, Shoggoths were a sort of biological weapon/servant which eventually evolved sentience and rebelled against their creators, causing the decline of the Elder Things' civilization on prehistoric Earth. The immense, amorphous, tar-like Shoggoth had numerous eyes across its surface and is very similar in concept to the Final Fantasy Hecteyes creature.
