The Bio-Engineer Dungeon is a two-level dungeon located in northeastern Unblovia on Madon. It is home to rogue geneticists and their twisted bio-engineered creations. The dungeon is a primary source of Organics, Empty DNA Vials, and rare DNA Items used in the Bio-Engineering system.
⚠ WARNING: Several monsters in this dungeon can instantly kill your pets. Always bond your pets before entering. Bonded pets can be resurrected at the Pet Resurrect Stones located near the dungeon entrance and on the lower level.
Location & Access
The dungeon entrance is a cave in the northeast corner of Unblovia on Madon. Just outside the main entrance you will find:
- An Ankh for player resurrection
- A Pet Resurrect Stone for resurrecting bonded pets
These are critical resources — you will need them.
Dungeon Layout
Upper Level
The upper level is accessible directly from the cave entrance. It contains the dungeon's weaker creatures and the humanoid geneticist enemies. This level is suitable for mid-tier characters and tamers with expendable or well-bonded pets.
The upper level features a cemetery area with a crypt entrance that leads down to the lower level.
Lower Level
The lower level is accessed by entering the crypt in the cemetery area of the upper level. This is where the dungeon's most dangerous creatures reside, including the boss encounter, The Arch Geneticist.
A second set of resurrect stones (both player and pet) is located near the stairs on the lower level, providing a recovery point without having to return to the surface.

|---|---|
| Corpse | a puddle of goo |
| Hit Points | 13–17 |
| Damage | 3–9 (100% Physical) |
| Fame/Karma | 450 / -450 |
The weakest creature in the dungeon. Genetic failures are the botched results of bio-engineering experiments — small globs of biological matter that pose almost no threat. They serve as fodder on the upper level and are also spawned by The Arch Geneticist during the boss fight.
Resistances: Physical 15–20 | Cold 40–50 | Poison 20–30 | Energy 10–20
Loot: Organics (30–60)
Bio Ooze

| Damage | 10–16 (30% Physical / 70% Poison) |
| Fame/Karma | 3,000 / -3,000 |
Toxic puddles of bio-engineered slime. Bio oozes deal primarily poison damage and have a 60% chance to inflict Greater Poison on melee hit. They are immune to lethal poison and cannot bleed. Characters without poison resistance or cure potions should avoid prolonged melee with these creatures.
Immunities: Poison Immune (Lethal); Bleed Immune
Resistances: Physical 30–40 | Fire 10–20 | Cold 30–40 | Poison 80–95 | Energy 15–25

| Damage | 12–18 (60% Physical / 40% Poison) |
| Fame/Karma | 4,000 / -4,000 |
Hulking, misshapen beasts created through genetic tampering. Bio mutants are straightforward melee fighters with moderate health pools and respectable damage. They appear in random body forms, making them visually unpredictable. Also spawned by The Arch Geneticist as adds during the boss fight.
Immunities: Poison Immune (Regular)
Resistances: Physical 35–45 | Fire 20–30 | Cold 25–35 | Poison 60–70 | Energy 15–25

Rogue scientists who have gone mad from their experiments. Evil bio engineers are humanoid melee combatants who carry random weapons (longswords, cutlasses, broadswords, axes, clubs, daggers, or spears). They wear leather armor dyed in distinctive hues. While not as dangerous as the genetecists, they are a solid source of Organics and crafting supplies.
Loot: Organics (150–300); 25% chance for an Empty DNA Vial or Empty DNA Vial Set
Evil Genetecist
| Evil Genetecist | |
|---|---|
| Title | the evil genetecist |
| Hit Points | 1,900–2,100 |
| Damage | 10–23 |

⚠ WARNING: Pet Killer: When a controlled pet attacks an Evil Genetecist in melee, there is a 25% chance the genetecist will attempt to extract DNA from the pet, instantly killing it. The genetecist will then retarget the pet's owner.
The most dangerous humanoid enemy on the upper level. Evil genetecists are mage-type combatants with high intelligence, strong magery, and substantial hit points. They wear distinctive green-hued robes and leather armor.
They have a rare chance (0.6%) to drop high-quality DNA Items, including Very High quality DNA from powerful creatures such as a dark father, a fox guardian, Mondain The Wizard, or a hell chicken (Mimic type).
Resistances: Equipped armor only
Loot:
- Organics (250–400)
- 35% chance for an Empty DNA Vial or Empty DNA Vial Set

| Fame/Karma | 8,000 / -8,000 |
Stitched-together amalgamations of biological matter. Bio constructs are tough melee combatants with passive health regeneration, recovering health continuously during combat. They are immune to bleeding effects and Greater Poison, making them durable opponents that are difficult to wear down.
Immunities: Poison Immune (Greater); Bleed Immune
Special: Regenerates health passively (5 HP per think cycle)
Resistances: Physical 55–65 | Fire 15–25 | Cold 40–50 | Poison 65–80 | Energy 20–30

Drakes that have been genetically altered with toxic compounds. Bio-spliced drakes are mage-type combatants with Dragon Breath and solid all-around resistances. They serve as the mid-tier threat on the lower level.
Immunities: Poison Immune (Greater)
Special: Dragon Breath
Resistances: Physical 50–60 | Fire 55–65 | Cold 35–45 | Poison 70–80 | Energy 40–50

⚠ WARNING: Pet Killer: When a controlled pet attacks a Bio-Forged Balron in melee, there is a 15% chance the balron will lash out with unstable energy, instantly killing the pet. The balron will then retarget the pet's owner.
Balrons twisted by bio-engineering into something even more terrifying. These are powerful mage-type combatants with Dragon Breath, high resistances across the board, and the ability to instantly destroy pets. They are unprovokable and among the most dangerous regular spawns in the dungeon.
Immunities: Poison Immune (Lethal); Unprovokable

Boss: The Arch Geneticist
| The Arch Geneticist | |
|---|---|
| Title | abomination of science |
| Hit Points | 25,000–30,000 |
| Mana | 5,000 |
| Stamina | 500 |
| Damage | 25–35 (20% each type) |
| Fame/Karma | 40,000 / -40,000 |
| Location | Lower Level |
⚠ WARNING: Pet Killer: When a controlled pet attacks The Arch Geneticist in melee, there is a 20% chance the boss will extract the pet's DNA, instantly killing it. The Arch Geneticist heals 1,000–2,000 HP each time it kills a pet this way. The boss will then retarget the pet's owner.
The Arch Geneticist is the boss of the Bio-Engineer Dungeon, found on the lower level. It is a humanoid figure clad in bone armor dyed in sickly green hues — the mastermind behind the dungeon's genetic horrors. This is a challenging encounter that requires a group and careful pet management.
Boss Mechanics
Mutant Spawns
When the Arch Geneticist drops below 75% health, it begins summoning Genetic Failures and Bio Mutants as adds. It can summon up to 6 adds total, spawning a new one every 30–45 seconds. Each add is summoned with a particle effect and the boss will announce: "Rise, my creation!"
Toxic Burst (AoE)
When the Arch Geneticist drops below 50% health, it unleashes a Toxic Burst — an area-of-effect attack that hits all players and controlled pets within 8 tiles. This attack:
- Deals 30–50 poison damage
- Applies Deadly Poison
- Fires every 20–35 seconds
- Is announced with: "Feel the power of unstable DNA!"
Pet Extraction
The Arch Geneticist has a 20% chance to instantly kill any controlled pet that attacks it in melee. When this triggers, the boss:
- Kills the pet instantly
- Heals itself for 1,000–2,000 HP
- Retargets the pet's owner
- Announces: "Your creature's DNA will serve my research!"
This heal-on-kill mechanic means that sending waves of unbonded pets at the boss is counterproductive — it will simply sustain itself.

Tips & Strategy
General Advice
- Always bond your pets before entering this dungeon. Three different creatures (Evil Genetecist, Bio-Forged Balron, and The Arch Geneticist) can instantly kill controlled pets. Bonded pets can be resurrected at the resurrect stones.
- Carry Greater Cure Potions — multiple creatures inflict poison, and the Bio Ooze has a 60% hit poison rate with Greater Poison.
- The resurrection facilities near the entrance (Ankh + Pet Resurrect Stone) and on the lower level (by the stairs) mean you can recover quickly after a death.
- Bio Constructs regenerate health. Focus fire them down quickly rather than splitting damage.
Tamer Strategy
- Pet deaths are a major risk here. The pet-killing mechanics trigger on melee attacks from the pet to the monster, so every round of pet melee carries a chance of instant death.
- Against the Evil Genetecist (25% kill chance), Bio-Forged Balron (15% kill chance), and The Arch Geneticist (20% kill chance), be prepared to resurrect and rebond frequently.
- The Arch Geneticist heals when it kills pets, so recklessly throwing pets at it will only prolong the fight.
- Consider using ranged damage or magic-focused strategies to supplement pet damage against pet-killing enemies.
Arch Geneticist Boss Strategy
- Bring a group. The boss has 25,000–30,000 HP, high resistances, 120 in all combat skills, and multiple dangerous mechanics.
- The fight has two phases: at 75% HP the boss starts summoning adds, and at 50% HP it begins using Toxic Burst.
- Designate someone to handle the add spawns (Genetic Failures and Bio Mutants) so they don't overwhelm the group.
- Spread out when the boss drops below 50% to minimize Toxic Burst damage (8-tile radius).
- Keep Deadly Poison cures on hand for the Toxic Burst's poison application.
- The boss's pet extraction heals it — if your pets keep dying, you may be feeding the boss more HP than you're dealing in damage.
- The second set of resurrect stones near the lower level stairs allows for quick recovery during attempts.
