Light route/boss spoilers. This mirrors the Greymoor → Sinner’s Road path, how to start the arena, and a consistent plan to clear Lugoli.
Overview
Disgraced Chef Lugoli is an optional boss in Sinner’s Road, best known for dropping the Pickled Muckmaggot used in the Great Taste of Pharloom quest line. You’ll typically approach from Greymoor. Access to the arena is gated by the Faydown Cloak (Double Jump).
TL;DR
- Where: Sinner’s Road, right side of the large cage/spike‑wheel chamber.
- Requirement: Faydown Cloak (Double Jump) to reach the back room.
- Start: Ring the dinner gong; clear two adds; Lugoli enters.
- Reward: Pickled Muckmaggot (for Great Taste of Pharloom; contributes toward Pale Oil/needle upgrades).
Requirements & Prep
- Ability: Faydown Cloak (Double Jump) — mandatory for the arena access.
- Runback: Consider unlocking the Sinner’s Road bench first to shorten attempts.
- Safety: Bring a survivability crest and a ranged/throwable tool to clear adds quickly.
Route — Greymoor to Lugoli
- From Greymoor’s Halfway Home, climb the nearby tower and take the upper routes into Sinner’s Road.
- Reach the large room with floor maggots, hanging cages, and spike wheels you can bounce from; traverse to the far right.
- Use Double Jump to reach the back room and enter Lugoli’s kitchen arena.
Start the Fight
- Strike or interact with the large dinner gong to begin.
- Two enemies spawn first; clear them to trigger Lugoli’s entrance.
Moveset & Strategy
- Maggot Ball Barrage: Lugoli fires clumps that litter the ground and constrain space. Stay central, hop over danger, and clear a lane before committing damage.
- Lateral Rush/Swipe: Horizontal approach with a clean pogo punish window. Jump, pogo, reset spacing, repeat.
- General: Delete adds immediately so you enter the main cycle with full resources. Avoid getting cornered by lingering projectiles.
Recommended Setup & Tips
- Minimum: Faydown Cloak to access; bench unlocked for faster learning.
- Loop: Bait lateral rush → pogo punish → reset mid; weave damage between maggot volleys.
- Heals/Bind: Heal only after clearing ground clutter; otherwise prioritize spacing.
Rewards & Quest Progress
- Drop: Pickled Muckmaggot — one of the delicacies for the Great Taste of Pharloom. Turn‑ins progress toward Pale Oil for needle upgrades.
Troubleshooting
- Rare soft‑lock: Community reports Lugoli occasionally leaving the arena; if it happens, quit/reload to reset.
