vaclaf 10 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Hello good players, I was serching about this interesting thing there on FDM, but without results. So, there it is: * I discovered that Scaron (Big Beetle Boss in Crystal Planes) respawns over and over during one game session - just defeat him, leave this area via some Portal and return back to Island of Thousand Paths (it is similar like Forest Guardian). It is very easy way how to train different combat strategies against weak Boss and farm some items. Just for information:-) * This info is relevant for Ice and Blood CM patch, LAN-free play game mode. I dont tested different game modes yet. * Of course, my favorite combat video cannot miss there as proof (enjoy in HD with Crystal Plane soundtrack:-) vaclaf Edited August 12, 2010 by vaclaf Link to comment
Spunky 16 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Great discovery Vaclaf! he's a good and easy way for my HE to get some set items, and that he respawns is certainly a bonus. Edited August 12, 2010 by Spunky Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Nice Vaclaf! You said this is fr CM Patch only? gogo Link to comment
Spunky 16 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hmm, didn't notice the CM part, hopefully it can be done in Closed Net too. Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 :bounce: Need to know if this is working in Closed Net :bounce: :bounce: Link to comment
nomad13 2 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Didnt know that you could spawn the Forest Guardian several times in one game, man what have I been missing So to spawn this bosses you just have to teleport to some place far way and come back to the place where they spawn?

czevak 57 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Ohkay...had a look at that: Forest Guardian and Scaron both don't spawn per quests.txt or spawn.txt but are placed directly into the worldmap via the editor (like traders and some beta-time bosses). Only way to fix that for the CM is editing the worldmap in this area, which we cannot do right now. Oh well nothing elso to say, except: Enjoy. Edited August 13, 2010 by czevak Link to comment
tapir 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Didnt know that you could spawn the Forest Guardian several times in one game, man what have I been missing So to spawn this bosses you just have to teleport to some place far way and come back to the place where they spawn? As for the Forest Guardian the only thing you have to do is entering the nearby cave as quick as possible after you killed it. This works well on Closed Net, it can be forced to spawn "infinite" times. Great target of farming the the three-slot set items (any class). Other respawning boss I know is the dragon in the cave of Girvym island. Just use the portal behind it to leave the cave immediately – it puts you in front of the entrance – and you can kill it again. Link to comment
nomad13 2 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Tried that several times with the nearby entrance to the spawning point of the Forest Guardian and no luck, that's why I thought I was doing something wrong. Link to comment
tapir 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I forgot to mention that more than likely it works only in Free Play mode and not in Campaign. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I forgot to mention that more than likely it works only in Free Play mode and not in Campaign. Is anyone able to confirm if this works in HC Closed? I can edit title accordingly gogo Link to comment
tapir 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've just captured this an hour ago on closed net (EU/HC): I doubt it would work only for me and not for anyone else. Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've just captured this an hour ago on closed net (EU/HC): I doubt it would work only for me and not for anyone else. We know that the forest guardian respawns, its scaron we're wondering about here. Still, nice proof for the forest guardian. Link to comment
nomad13 2 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Think I have to up my killspeed a bit, anyways thank you Tapir for the proof. I think I most be doing something wrong Link to comment
larvi 0 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I just confirmed that Scaron respawns in closed net. I activated the monolith near the blue star and after beating it I can tp to there and go back and it will be respawned. Link to comment
locolagarto 15 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Think I have to up my killspeed a bit, anyways thank you Tapir for the proof. I think I most be doing something wrong you have to port right after you kill him. if you wait too long he will not respawn. same as with the orc cave, forest guardian, and dryad dragon Link to comment

nomad13 2 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I Just did some mega ganking on the forest guardian, god it felt so good, but the game had to crash when I was entering the cave, oh well cant always win. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Beautiful news larvi! I've updated the wiki for Scaron. gogo Link to comment
vaclaf 10 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) "And this is the happy end of one Beetle story and all characters farms him forever after" :-) To Arms and lets discover something new new! vaclaf Edited August 15, 2010 by vaclaf Link to comment
larvi 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Definititely a great find, thanks vaclaf. Scaron seems to have a good drop rate for non-aspect sets which can come in handy. In about 20 runs with my seraphim I found the following: Wings of Revenge Holy Protection Greaves of Justice Helmet of the Halo 2xWristguards of the Dusk Link to comment

You should try lowering some of your graphics settings: Texture Quality - minimal Shadow Details - medium (or lower) PhysX Effects (if you have an nVidia card), Grass Details, Anti-Aliasing, Weather effects - disable them all.

nomad13 2 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Its normal this game to crash sometimes when you change scenery for example entering caves or teleporting. I already run the game on almost low settings no grass or shadows and physx definitly off. Link to comment
