Scavenger Location

Falling Leaves

Scavemger How to Find
Locating the Scavenger requires the player to complete the Lady of Sap quest in Falling Leaves, involving a Little Boy behind a fenced-out gate. This gate unlocks once the quest is finished and the player speaks to the boy again.

The Scavenger itself is located at the last section of Falling Leaves past the gate. The player will go through some rope and grappling areas until they find another Expeditionary Flag. Walk towards the platform and the boss will appear.

How to Beat Scavenger

Use Light and Physical Attacks

Scavenger Light Damage Weakness
The Scavenger is weak to Light-based damage while also affected by Physical attacks. All other elements will be resisted by this boss and it will absorb Dark attacks so avoid bringing Lune or Sciel to this fight.

Verso and his kit works wonders against Scavenger. Skills such as Blitz, Phantom Stars and End Bringer will help in taking the boss down quicker.

Verso Best Builds and Attributes

Keep AP Up and Shoot the Masks

Scavenger Keep AP Up
AP is very important in this fight as it requires the player to shoot through Scavenger's masks to expose him. Make sure to have characters like Monoco or Maelle with spare AP to ensure the destruction of the masks.

Not doing so will cause him to reveal himself with a party-wide explosion, damaging all members with the masks still activated.

Cleanse Debuffs

How to Beat Scavenger Buff and Debuff
This boss applies Dizzy to the party via its masks that shoots lasers, making shots harder to aim. Having skills like Perfect Recovery and Purification allow for damage or healing and debuffing at the same time.

Using Tints for debuff cleansing can also work as a last resort should the player need a support crutch.
