Ancient Kutum

According to ancient records, there appears a ‘Scarlet Sand Chamber’ and the large Kutum that lived in it. When Kutum eventually stopped moving, the chamber’s entrance closed shut and the location was long forgotten. However, in recent years the rumblings of Kutum’s heart below the ground revealed the lost entrance to the Scarlet Sand Chamber to Archaeologists and Explorers.

Kutum’s heart beats inside the Scarlet Sand Chamber

Kutum appears inside the Scarlet Sand Chamber located north of the Barhan Gateway at the entry point into Valencia.

Once you enter the Scarlet Sand Chamber, the path will split in two. Both paths will lead to Kutum’s location.

Knowledge of Ancient Kutum

How to earn Knowledge about Kutum

You can earn knowledge about Ancient Kutum through a quest. Talk to ‘Desalam’ the node manager for Scarlet Sand Chamber and take the ‘Scarlet Sand Chamber’ quest. Completing the following 3 connecting quests will reward you with knowledge on Kutum.

Strategy for defeating Kutum

The ancient creature called Kutum is shaped like a worm. Kutum is able to move due to the Ancient Fragment that acts as its heart.

The worm-shaped Kutum appears with a part of its body planted in the ground. It has a variety of attacks using its long body to slam or sweep the ground to inflict damage.

Kutum changes its attack pattern when its health drops below a certain point, so stay alert!

Kutum will dig into the ground and burst out targeting a single Adventurer. There will be dust clouds forming where Kutum targets. So spread out and move out of the way in order to avoid multiple Adventurers taking damage.

Kutum will suck in Adventurers within a certain area. Once you are sucked in, you’ll receive continuous damage. Watch out for the area marked in red.

Kutum will dig into the ground with its head showing, then strikes lightning bolts around the surrounding area. It’s recommended that you move away once Kutum digs in. Watch out for the area marked in red.

Getting Kutum’s Sub-weapon

Kutum’s Sealed Sub-weapon Box

You have a chance to acquire the box when Kutum is defeated.

Opening the box will give you a Kutum Sub-weapon.

Kutum’s Sub-weapon is the highest grade available. It increases both AP and DP along with 2 empty slots for crystals. Furthermore, it has added effects of ignoring all resistance by +10%, and extra AP against monsters, which makes it ideal for PvE game play.

Many Adventurers choose to brave the dangers of seeking out Kutum so they can get their hands on one of these sub-weapons.
