What are Vicious Monsters?

Higher Difficulty Variants of Enemies

Vicious Monster Sightings are new types of battles introduced in the Pulse of the Ancients DLC. These battles offer a more difficult challenge by letting you face a stronger variant of the usual powerful foes.

Once unlocked, up to three different sightings can be found cycling across the map. By clearing battles, older sightings will disappear and newer ones will reappear.

Vicious Monster Battle Details

Increased HP / Strength

Multiple Elemental Enemies

Clear by defeating the Vicious Monster

Increased HP/Strength

Vicious Monsters are characterized by their increased durability in battle and stronger attacks. In fact in Apocalyptic difficulty, they can be strong enough to defeat your character in one hit. Vicious Monsters offer a true test of patience and skill on defeating these stronger foes.

Multiple Elemental Enemies

When in combat with these Vicious Monsters, multiple elemental enemies will spawn in to be part of the battle. It is advisable to get them out of the way as soon as possible so that you don't get overwhelmed with enemies.

They also become a good source of elemental rods which you can then use against the Vicious Monster to quickly expose and deplete their Weak Point Gauge.

Clear By Defeating the Vicious Monster

To clear the mission, you'll have to take down all the Vicious Monsters that appear in the level. Each location will have a different number of vicious monsters, and some locations may require you to hunt them down first.

Vicious Monsters Rewards

Valuable Clear Rewards Every Time

As a reward for overcoming these difficult challenges, you can receive several valuable items including ores, guardian parts, and even stronger weapons.
