The Ochre Dofus: how the quest works
4 min read
The Ochre Dofus is a level 160 Primordial Dofus, earned at the end of a single quest, “L’éternelle moisson” (the Eternal Harvest). Given by Otomai, it asks you to capture, with soul stones, the souls of dungeon bosses and archmonsters from all over the World of Twelve. It is one of the longest goals in the game: it is prepared more than it is played.

The Ochre Dofus at a glance
The Ochre Dofus is one of the six Primordial Dofus, alongside the Emerald, Crimson, Turquoise, Ivory and Ebony. Its quest is known as the longest of all, because it requires hundreds of captures all over the World of Twelve. To place it among the others, see our list of Dofus.
| Key point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dofus level | 160 |
| Quest | “L’éternelle moisson” (the Eternal Harvest) |
| Quest giver | Otomai |
| Number of steps | 19 |
| Final step | The Giant Kralove |
| Essential tool | Soul stones |
The principle: capturing souls
Each step asks you to bring Otomai the souls of a series of monsters. To capture a soul, you need a soul stone strong enough for the highest-level monster in the group you fight. Stones come in several powers, from 50 to 1,000.
- 1Prepare a soul stone strong enough for the highest-level monster in the target group.
- 2Start the fight and use the soul capture spell with your stone during the fight.
- 3Win the fight: the soul goes into the stone, which becomes a full stone.
- 4Bring the full stones to Otomai to complete the step.
Tip : Stones can be crafted or bought at the marketplace. Always carry several of each power: a capture missed for lack of a stone is the most common frustration of the quest.
The three blocks of steps
The 19 steps fall into three blocks: steps 1 to 3 cover dungeon bosses, steps 4 to 18 the archmonsters, and step 19 the Giant Kralove. For that last one, the game provides a special soul stone.
Bosses require clearing the dungeon with a suitable stone: if your group cannot beat a boss, a dungeon run lets you make the capture yourself while the provider handles the fight.
| Kind of step | Main difficulty |
|---|---|
| Dungeon bosses | You need a key and a group able to clear the dungeon. |
| Archmonsters | They are rare: you have to hunt for them, sometimes for a long time. |
| Giant Kralove | The final step, a high-level fight. |
Archmonsters, the heart of the quest
An archmonster is a rare version of an ordinary monster. It appears in its place, within a group in its area, and disappears once beaten. Some are fairly common, others live in little-visited areas: that is why the quest lasts months for many players.
To reduce the luck factor, the game offers Bouataklônes: boxes traded with Jykel, in Otomai’s cabin, for Truks divins. Truks drop when an archmonster is captured: every participant who did not make the capture gets one. Each Bouataklône starts a fight against an archmonster, with a single character and one companion. Careful: if you lose the fight or miss the capture, the box is lost.
Getting organised to finish faster
The quest rewards method far more than luck. A few habits make all the difference:
- Keep a list of the souls you are missing, updated every session.
- Capture archmonsters whenever you come across them, even if they belong to a step you have not reached yet.
- Keep spare stones suited to the level of the monsters you are after.
- Do the quest with friends who are doing it too: you cover more ground.
- Buy rare souls at the marketplace rather than spending hours looking for them.
Buying souls or an Ochre pack
Full soul stones are traded between players, at the marketplace or directly. It is the most common way to fill the last, rarest captures.
Some players also offer Ochre packs: capturing a series of archmonsters for you, helping with one step, or seeing you through to the end. Plan the budget in kamas; if you are short, compare the price of kamas on your server.
Watch out : Have the exact list of monsters or steps included stated in writing, and pay in instalments. A pack never needs your credentials.
