# Cathedral of Despair

**Cathedral of Despair** is an exclusive LunaticRO instance set deep within the ancient Glast Heim Abbey.

The last faithful of Beelzebub continues a forbidden ritual aimed at bringing their master back to the world of the living. To prevent this resurrection, adventurers will have to infiltrate the cathedral, eliminate the cultists, destroy the profane altars and face one of the most formidable MVP in Ragnarok Online: **Beelzebub**.

### Course of proceedings

#### Phase 1 — The first cultists

As you enter the cathedral, several groups of **Beelzebub Cultists** appear in different wings of the building.

Your first mission is to eliminate them in order to disrupt the ritual in progress.

***

#### Phase 2 — First Profane Altar

After the destruction of the first circle of cultists, a new group appears around a **Profane Altar**.

Once these guardians are eliminated, the altar materializes.

The adventurers must then destroy this altar with a large reserve of life points.

***

#### Phase 3 — Second Profane Altar

The same mechanism is repeated in another section of the cathedral:

1. Appearance of cultists.
2. Elimination of the guards.
3. Appearance of the second altar.
4. Destruction of the altar.

***

#### Phase 4 — Fall of the barricades

The two altars destroyed, the magical seals protecting the cathedral collapse.

Blocked passages become accessible and open the way to the final stage of the ritual.

***

#### Phase 5 — Appearance of Beelzebub

When the final seals fall, **Beelzebub** appears somewhere in the cathedral.

Its position is immediately revealed on the mini-map so that adventurers can go looking for it.

***

### Final Boss

#### Beelzebub

Former servant of darkness turned embodiment of chaos, Beelzebub is one of the most dangerous MVP in the game.

In Cathedral of Despair:

* Its location is random.
* Its power increases with the chosen difficulty.
* It constitutes the sole final objective of the proceeding.
