Moscovia dungeon quest

[TofuIcecream]

According to http://irowiki.org/wiki/Finding_The_Moving_Island_Quest, the monsters summoned for the quest should correspond to your particular level. However, when I tried to do this quest on my 33/18 swordsman, it summoned Kaphas and Mermen. Is this a bug or what o.0?

[Incarn]

yes it's a bug

not much you can do except wait it out and hope they don't notice you - they die eventually

edit: oops posted too soon

It's weird though, but the mermaids, Obeaune, are also spawned at times, as well as swordfish and marcs. I've seen it with my rogue, while i got on the boat with two others.

Ahhh, I see. The problem with waiting it out though, is that I won't be able to complete the quest. I guess I'll keep trying and hope I get Obeaunes xD

hmmm, not sure about others, but i always get mermen and kaphas. I only do the quest once i'm capable of surviving and killing 4 kaphas on my own with my own style.

I've done the quest 2 times now, and all the times i got the mobs these where Kapha's and Merman. Also when i was doing the quest with someone else (i think we where both talking to the npc at once) the monsters kept spawning and we where not able to get off the boat, it was really annoying.

Before i'm gonna do the quest again i'm gonna wait till my chars are higher in lvl, i wanna do it on a alchemist soon but her homun is just to weak to kill those mobs and the alchemist as well.

do what i did, throw 2 parasites to stand by around the spawn point of the kaphas, set your homun close the merman as a distraction, put on auto lightening bolt or jupitel thunder accessories, once they appear, keep your potion up, run like hell, the autospell and parasites WILL kill them rather quickly.

You can also try to borrow a battle custom pet such as Aliot, just try to attack enough to trigger pet to attack for you (or borrow a reflect gear, such as tormenting ghost, high orc shield, etc) and let the pet do it for you as you spam your (novice) potions.

As for the quest bug, I "completed" the quest warpped to Whale's Island while the monsters are um... alive. I was all prepared to fight them of course and fought them a few times, but the last time the monsters appear, I engaged them and during mid-battle when merman is still alive, I got warped out and quest completion \o/ so lol~

[Ngjoko]

that explains why when i got on board there're still monsters on it, they raped me so suddenly i couldn't react at all. ;-;

hydras are much more effective in speed and you can summon 4 of them
