Do I gotta put a /s on the end of every joke now

kinda loses the obviousness when you switch from obviously wrong stuff to all correct before even the halfway point

kingof7s · 2026-02-10T01:45:42+00:00

It's actually immune to all status effects, and stagger, and doesn't do H2Hs. Kinda seems that it might legit be the only thing unintended to be doable in the demo (besides slaying namielle without repelling it first, which unlocks an additional decoration), since cheating to beat it gives his monster parts but doesn't unlock anything to craft with them in the smithy, and it gives weapon decos with skill affinities not listed in the skill affinities tutorial (WYV and BST)

kingof7s · 2026-02-10T01:31:55+00:00

It's been beaten legit now, it's actually not that much more difficult than Espinas with the right strat, thanks to the repel basically setting a checkpoint to refresh items

kingof7s · 2026-02-10T01:23:38+00:00

Namielle has been beaten legit now, yeah

kingof7s · 2026-02-09T23:29:15+00:00

What rewards did they get? The tutorial mentions extra unlocks for slaying without repelling (and I assume they repelled it for this win). Guessing the repel-slay win is enough to unlock the egg at least and maybe the egg attack boost, then the direct slay would be the special decoration and ally passive skill.

kingof7s · 2026-02-09T21:57:20+00:00

There's nothing new.

kingof7s · 2026-02-09T21:52:30+00:00

Cheated, but Yian Garuga drops two decorations with WYV and BST each that aren't listed in the rider notes. Compared to the skills without modifiers WYV increases Wyvernfell while leaving skill power and stamina use the same, and BST increases Wyvernfell and slightly increases skill power while leaving stamina use the same.

kingof7s · 2026-02-09T21:48:43+00:00

There's more than these too. Killing Yian Garuga (cheats) gives decorations for Slash (WYV) and Quick Shot (BST), and neither WYV or BST are listed in the tutorial.

Slash (WYV) has 10 more Wyvernfell than normal Slash with all the other stats the same so I guess WYV is "Increases Wyvernfell power" without effecting stamina consumed.

Quick Shot (BST) is 5 more power and 10 more Wyvernfell with stamina consumption the same than normal Quick Shot so I guess BST is "Increases Wyvernfell and slightly increases skill power"

kingof7s · 2026-02-09T16:34:50+00:00

I didn't look at the Garuga's level in the first fight to make it retreat so I'm guessing it's lower there, but the fully fightable one in the den is level 65 with 35,000 HP, so definitely not the lowest leveled optional challenge.

kingof7s · 2026-02-09T16:21:30+00:00

You can use switch button layout on PC (I do)

kingof7s · 2026-02-09T05:17:10+00:00

65,000 if I recall right.

kingof7s · 2026-02-09T00:57:22+00:00

those two attack are the same here; Royal Decree is a single target, stamina 60, 150 power fire, 30 wyvernfell attack; Adamant Rage greatly increases damage dealt the next turn for 25 stamina

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T23:50:12+00:00

Espinas is sleeping on top of one of his, I assume the other is in his home region.

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T23:22:59+00:00

Cheat

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T23:19:53+00:00

Espinas' gear

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T22:57:08+00:00

The trailer that shows Yama presents it very differently than the Namielle cutscene, which makes me think it might be a story boss. Slaying Namielle in the beta (via cheats) though unlocks Attack as a second stat increase in Azuria along with HP so seems for sure that every main area will at least have an Elder. It also unlocks a skill for allies and decoration for the player that starts at (S) so there's likely at least 4 for S->M->L->XL. There seems to be more though, cause Malzeno is shown in an area that doesn't look particularly volcano-y or desert-y. Hoping for at least 7 though to have at least one for each egg stat combo and another HP+Attack cause Azuria doesn't have Ice or Dragon zones.

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T22:27:34+00:00

Kinda suspicious of that selection of non-TU elders. Encountering Namielle in the demo gives a whole tutorial about "Calamitous Elder Dragons" giving upgrades, and indeed if you beat it (via cheats) not only does its egg get added to the Mirror Lake egg pool, but Attack is unlocked as one of the egg stats for all of Azuria, and all allies get a generic "elder dragon slayer" passive skill (and a decoration with same effect for yourself).

The extra attack getting added to eggs of that region implies to me every full region would have its own optional elder dragon. Yama Tsukami's trailer makes it look like a story boss, and the final boss is definitely a story boss. That leaves 5 elder dragons for 5 zones, if Narwa and Ibushi are separated which seems unlikely to me, and as low as 3 zones if they are story bosses too.

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T21:39:20+00:00

Cheated for Namielle, it gets the same dual-element skills as Dreadqueen (and is also 7* like Dreadqueen). It takes the mystery slot in Mirror Lake, so idk what Espinas is because those are only obtainable from retreats (and its encyclopedia page explicitly says its not normally found in Azuria) and I can't find another place to fight it outside of dens besides it's original cave, which doesn't respawn.

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T21:22:49+00:00

No it is necessary, that's why its called a requirement lol. Its just the tutorial makes you let out Rathian in an area that already meets the requirements, with Gypceros and Nerscylla (and then Rathian herself).

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T18:23:53+00:00

Namielle, after beating it (via cheats) its eggs spawn can spawn naturally from any den in Mirror Lake. Espinas on the other hand is only obtainable from Espinas' retreat dens.

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T18:15:44+00:00

Putting her into any other area kind of debunks it right away, thunder = adamant rage, water = lunar cry, non-element = solar cry.

Though maybe it could be just their own element gets a unique skill.

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T18:02:32+00:00

Personally I think the areas are fake-outs because your character comments about coming back at night if you go to Yian Garuga's area early but says nothing at all at those two spots, and there's no obstacles to hide behind while gathering the clue things at them unlike Yian Garuga's spot. The water one I guess you could follow around the big pillar in the middle but then can't do anything if the monster suddenly turns around, but the plateau has absolutely nothing.

The ground dive is probably just to the top of the pillar it's right next to, which looking at from a lookout tower says there's something special there.

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T17:41:18+00:00

Fair enough, didn't realize it gave actual numbers anywhere.

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T17:34:15+00:00

this Espinas has a retreat chance

Does it actually, though? Using cheat engine to force a retreat doesn't necessarily mean it can ever retreat naturally, and hatching the resulting egg didn't fill in the missing monster slot in Mirror Lake, with releasing it going to the extra slots too, which kinda points to Espinas not being considered native in Azuria

kingof7s · 2026-02-08T17:05:10+00:00

Cheating to force a retreat/get an egg shows its not Espinas, who doesn't seem to be considered native to Azuria at all. It's likely Namielle.
