Cave of the Vicious

Cave of the Vicious is a lower level dungeon, located west of City of the Plume, right by the entrance to Scorpion Valley. Its main purpose previously was to serve as the FB19 for Winged Elf Archers and Clerics, however the Call to Duty quests at level 19 were retired making the dungeon mostly obsolete for lower leveled players. It is used in the first Reawakening questline.

Overview
Cave of the Vicious is a small-sized cave, and one of the lowest level instances in the game. It is filled with scorpion, cactopod, vipent, and undine Wraiths. There are two Call to Duty pillars in the cave - one at the beginning of the cave, and another in the boss room. These pillars can still be activated if the player received a Call to Duty: Xenobeast before they were retired.

You can give 1 Osmanthus Wine to the Old Swordsman at the entrance of the cave. In exchange, he will remove most of the Wraiths from the cave. This is generally not recommended as Cave of the Vicious is one of the lowest level instances and therefore one of the easiest to complete.

Bosses
There is only one boss in Cave of the Vicious.

Poisontail Occultist
The Poisontail Occultist is a large scorpion-like Wraith that serves as the sole boss for the instance. It is located in the southeastern room of the dungeon, standing between two waterfalls. The boss has three Wraith followers.

The Battle
This battle should be fairly simple and straightforward. The Poisontail Occultist attacks at melee range with physical damage. On occasion, the boss will attack with a bleeding damage-over-time (DoT) skill.

Nuemas
The Poisontail Occultist is one of the bosses that may drop a tier 1 or a tier 2 Nuema.
