Episode 20: The Undying
Five open fields north of Issgard, two daily instances and the White Cats Union's exchange. No quest opens any of it: walk in, or take the hub's Field Guide (from base level 215). Every field is a Hunting Board map, every monster on them drops Etel Dust (0.75 %) and Sacred Cat Whiskers (0.2 %), and a mission on these maps pays 3 Whiskers (daily) or 15 (weekly) on top. Monsters are aggressive.

Twig Nest (jor_twig)
Twenty of each Jormungandr Guardian (no EXP and no drops, as on kRO) and the World Tree Branches (117,145), the door to The Undying. Its missions still count kills.
The two field MVPs take only 10 % of the damage dealt to them and give the usual Sol rows (Kachua key, Care Package box, MVP Costume Cache, Costume Stone Box, straight to the MVP player's inventory; see Field MVPs).
Escargo!
Level 215+, alone or with a party, 30 minutes, once a day per mode. Enter from the Instance Manager or through Copo
on Frozen Scale Beach (jor_back4 101,265); no quest. Inside, talk to Rorohyu at the entrance to start tracking:
four groups of Delicious Slugs block the trail west, each appears when the one before is down. At the end of the
trail Copo waits in a hollow: talk to her to bring out the Delicious Snails, then again to wake the MVP, the
Fallen Angel Slug (level 225, 206.5 million HP on Normal; 258 / 310 / 361 million on Hard / Nightmare / Hell).
Prepare your buffs first. Its death is the clear: every member gets Sacred Cat Whiskers (3, 4 on Hard, 5 on
Nightmare and Hell), an Antiquity of Issgard (Fallen Angel Slug) (one random piece of Glacier gear, Whiskers or
pure magical materials), 8 Instance Coins and up, the keys, the era box, and on Hard and up the instance's Costume Cache
and the Costume Stone Box. The slug drops its card (0.2 %), Angel's Tail and pure magical ores and crystals.
The Undying
Level 215+, alone or with a party, 30 minutes, once a day per mode (Hard and up is kRO's High). Enter from the
Instance Manager or through the World Tree Branches in Twig Nest (jor_twig 117,145); no quest. Walk north up the
middle trail past the Jormungandr cult's guards to the Branches and talk to Lasgand: "Break the seal and attack".
- Lasgand: level 215, Undead, Poison 4 (fire, water, wind and earth hit him for 125 %), 1 billion HP on Normal (1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 billion on Hard / Nightmare / Hell). Rain of Meteor, Storm Gust, Killing Cloud, Poison.
- The seal: for 3 seconds after it breaks he stands still and cannot be hurt.
- Undying: while anyone in the instance is dead, he cannot be hurt. Raise the fallen at once.
- Visions of Lasgand: from 20 seconds into the fight a Vision appears every 40 seconds (30 on Hard and up) at the north, south, east or west of the arena, at most four. A Vision near Lasgand casts Storm Gust much more often: pull him away from them.
His death is the clear: every member gets Sacred Cat Whiskers (3 / 4 / 5 / 5), an Antiquity of Issgard (Ultimate Lasgand) (the Hard box on Hard and up; Glacier and Dim Glacier gear, Whiskers or pure materials), 10 Instance Coins and up, the keys, the era box, and on Hard and up the Costume Cache and the Costume Stone Box. He leaves Lasgand's Storage: break it for encroached, neutralized and pure magical ores and crystals, Pure Magic Extract and (Hard and up) the Scale of the Snake God, and each Dim Glacier armor piece (armor, robe, manteau, muffler, boots, shoes) at 10 % (Normal) or 20 % (Hard and up). Lasgand drops his card (0.2 %).
