Revision 1

Crabgantua's Gorge is a boss-arena instance on Skover Island, tuned for level 8 and filed under the Manfish faction. It is a single-opponent fight rather than a level to clear room by room.

The gorge was once a major stronghold of the Nepsids in the region. What wrecked it was not an outside army: the fish-folk disfigured the place through their incessant fights with an enemy of their own making. Crabgantua was bred and trained as a humongous warmount, and the first half of that plan worked so well that its tamers were devoured before they got to the second.

The Run

The gorge follows the standard instance rules: parties of one to four players, with every member leaving with at least one piece of gear. See Dungeons and Instances for the full system.

The arena is not empty. Alongside the boss it fields the crab variant that has spread through the Nepsid coastline.

Rewards

Crabgantua's signature rewards are the shield Crabgantua's Kneecap, the fists Clawdius, and the Meropsian Crab mount, all of which only this fight awards. Two further collectibles sit deeper in the table: the Antelimbian Crab mount and the Meropsian Wingfish glider.

The rest of the run pays out the shared Manfish armour pool at Rare quality, including the Fin Armor, the Jacket of the Last Pirate and the Charm of the Fisher King, plus the coastal materials the Manfish content runs on: Fleshy Claw, Sticky Fin, Sharp Scale, Eyestalk and the occasional Simple Pearl. For the weapons see Weapons and the Arsenal, for the collectibles see Mounts and Gliders, and for the wider economy see Gear, Items and Economy.

Instance Details

The gorge is the third instance in the Skover Island order, after Lost City of Mayda and Mine Estrone. For the full roster see Dungeons and Instances, and for the Nepsids see Enemies and Factions.
