Tips¶
Ready for some even tougher bosses?
You may have Mastered the Mercenary Life, but the real journey begins here.
First, let’s begin with the easier challenges. Most of your targets are found either in the Ancient Ruins, to the north-east of Drysand Desert, or East Levitania.
If you’re looking for the Mimics and Wicked Boxes , you’ll have to first defeat one of the three major bosses in the Ancient Ruins first. As it happens, one of the bosses–the Gigante–is a boss you must defeat as a Master Mercenary.
To reach the Gigante , follow this route from the ruins entrance: left, up, right, up. Then wade your way through the sand and jellies, before trespassing into the Mummies’ resting ground.
Meanwhile, Flower Mantis are a rare, pink breed of Mantis. If you don’t find them in East Levitania, enter and exit the Plushling Camp to try and make them spawn.
Now the bosses here are all pretty dang tough. Definitely bring along your strongest allies, which may or may not include Odin. You should also consider switching to the Blacksmith Life to forge yourself some better swords and armour.
The Lord of the Dead and Ferociousaurus are reskins of Silverfang and the Desert Tyrant, so you ought to be pretty familiar with their attacks.
You can either stick close to them to avoid their bite and dino breath or circle around from afar. Either way, when the big dino uses its breath attack or starts roaring into the sky, that’s your cue to run in and give it a good beating.
Similarly, the Chimera and Gigante are reskins of the Behemoth, so you can use the same strategy for the Behemoth against them.
Of course, since these versions hit harder, having stronger allies is more important than ever. Let your allies distract the Chimera and Gigante and absorb their attacks, then hit it when it’s using its bite, frontal slam or breath attacks.
Be ready to step back at a moment’s notice, as the Chimera’s ice shockwave and the Gigante’s lightning shockwave can cause a lot of damage. In particular, the Gigante’s shockwave has two parts, so stay away until it’s done.
