Type
Unknown
Description
Omega Micros are small machines manufactured by Omega Planetes that home in on hunters and self-destruct. Attention can be drawn with a sonic bomb. Will sometimes create a shield when destroyed.

List of Small Monsters

Glowing Micros Generate Shields

Omega Micros with a blue glowing hue will generate a shield (as a static spherical force field) when destroyed. They must be destroyed through your attacks, since letting them jump and explode on you will not generate a shield. They can sometimes be lured by EZ Sonic Bombs from your Seikret's Pouch or the equivalent Screamer Pods.

When fighting Omega Planetes, shields are extremely important objects you should use to negate all outside projectile and non-physical attacks (except physical contact attacks) made by Omega Planetes.

Omega Micros Locations

Spawns from Omega Planetes

Omega Planetes in Rimechain Peak

Omega Micros are encountered as mission targets as early as The Beacon of Invasion Extra 4 mission in the Iceshard Cliffs. But they primarily spawn in groups from the large monster Omega Planetes in Rimechain Peak, usually signalled by the 'deploying combat modules' subtitle.

Omega Planetes is encountered as the main target in the Assignment Invader from the Stars, in the Optional Quest Planetes Protocol, and its harder version the permanent Event Quest Planetes Protocol (Savage). You will need to be HR41+ to start the assignment and HR100+ to start the Event Quest version.
