Overview
Background and Lore
Tips
Loomin
This grieving brother appears to be slow and aloof, but has a wide array of tricks under his sleeve, both of his own creation and also those taught by Ktullanux.
Movement and repositioning are the keys during this battle, Loomin is sturdy and has the tendency to move around with Back Sliding, which is chained into a painful Soul Strike.
He will also chase players with Body Relocation and the consequent Moon Slasher.
Loomin doesn't enjoy getting touched by those he considers unclean, so he will often remove grounds effects under himself with Ganbantein, followed by Pneuma.
His normal attack abilities include a wide array of Water, Neutral and Ghost property physical and magical abilities, Those may target random players, the tank, or both.
Watch out for his special attacks, such as Flash Attack or Wide Frost Diver.
The tank will be getting some of his SP burned at intervals, through Mental Breaker.
In higher difficulties, he may silence the group or put them to slumber with Wide Silence and Wide Sleep.
The tank may be disabled with Ice Blast, which inflicts guaranteed, short duration Crystallization.
Higher difficulties add more abilities to his repertoire, and as usual, the lower the HP, the more abilities are unlocked.
Some key cases are signaled by a flavor text and a cast time you can react to, those are underlined below.
Loomin's Special Abilities | ||
---|---|---|
Ability | Flavor Text | Description |
Gravitation Field | A waste of breath the years behind, In balance with this life, this death! | Prioritizes a random player who isn't the tank. This special version of the High Wizard's ability deals 10% of Max HP as damage every 0.5s, so try to move out as fast as possible. Loomin is able to move and act while the field remains. |
Akaitsuki | There's no recovery from a stolen dream... | Only the tank may be targeted. Just like the normal ability, it reverses the healing taken, turning it into damage instead. Lasts for 10s. |
Dispel (Hard Mode) | You don't deserve those boons... | Targets a random player who isn't the tank, and if there are no other players around, this ability isn't used. |
Divine Shield | Stop sullying me with your venom!!! | Places a shield with a value equal to 10% of Max HP which absorbs all types of damage and lasts for 1m. |
Summon Frozen Heart | Has your heart been pierced, frozen and shattered? | Prioritizes a random player who isn't the tank. Summons one Frozen Heart, which is a stationary monster under Plant protocol. It will quickly attack nearby players while also casting Frost Nova and Cold Bolt. Once spawned, a timer will appear on top of this monster, and if it isn't destroyed before the timer runs out, the Frozen Heart will self destruct, using Ice Explosion, which deals very high Water property damage in a 19x19 cell area and inflicting unavoidable Crystallization plus Bleeding statuses. |
Gravity Crash (Normal Mode+) | Suffer the weight of the world just as I have! | Screen wide spell which deals miscellaneous damage based on a percentage of Max HP and the currently carried weight. Also forces the targets to sit down and roots them for 10s, with the root's effect blocking the use of movement skills. Sitting down manually before this ability hits, will halve its damage and prevent the forceful sit down plus root effects. |
Internal Collapse (Hard Mode) | On the left palm is my dwindled hope, the envoy of your unmaking. | One random player who isn't the current tank is prioritized, becoming a living bomb. The effect is signaled by a ticking sound and an expanding circle, once 5s have passed, the target will explode, taking 90% of own Max HP as miscellaneous damage, and inflicting half of that to all allies in a 17x17 cell area around, knocking them back 5 cells. |
Change Target (Hard Mode) | /dum emotion | Loomin will simply ignore players under the Steel Body status, picking a new target instead! |

Dream Debris
Contained inside of Frozen Dream, Dream Debris is the currency used to purchase goods from Shohreh, and to enchant the Necklace of the Priestess.
Niren needs those strange dreamworld fragments to operate the Dream Rift and offers useful goods in exchange.
Frozen Dream is obtained from the Oneiric Gatherings and by helping Medgga.
If you manage to recover and return the Old Doll to The Pope just before finishing the instance, you will be awarded with a certain amount as well.
Oneiric Gathering
These strange clusters are formed upon defeating a Freyja's Bishop, or any of the MVPs inside the instance.
Upon clicking one, they burst into many Frozen Dreams. The amount is based on the enemy defeated, and the current Difficulty Mode.
Medgga
This furry traveler from a far away land, will ask you for two Pope Cookies, one for herself, and another for her husband.
She will toss a pile a of Frozen Dreams at you for the help.
Old Doll
This is the lost doll Tilby that The Pope tells you about at the beginning. By recovering it, you can obtain additional rewards upon finishing the instance.
Additionally, this item is required to initiate the optional fight with The Pope in the Hard Mode of this instance.
Upon defeating either of the three first Freyja's Bishops, they will drop something shiny, in a Glowing Spot.
Glowing Spot
Approach and inspect it, you might discover the Old Doll, or nothing at all.
There is 25% chance to find the doll, and if you inspected the first two but found none, the third is guaranteed to contain the doll.
However, if you forgot to check a spot, you may miss the doll!
Mercenary
The Pope will aid you in combat during most of the fights, joining you as a Mercenary.
Once you're ready to leave the temple, you will be able to choose her outfit, altering the stats and skills.
Papal Attire provides higher DEF, MATK and INT, while ASPD and MSPD are lowered. The skill set is oriented towards tanking and support.
Casual Attire results in higher MDEF, ATK and DEX, while increasing ASPD and MSPD. The skill set focuses on offense with moderate support.
The Mercenary Scrolls sold by Shohreh allow you summon this little helper for 30 minutes.
