LOQO+2+Rare+Monster+Guide

toc =Overview=

Rare Monsters in LOQO 2 are very difficult to track. This guide should help you understand how Rare Monsters work and how to find them.

Please note that Rare Monsters are NOT the same thing as Legendary Monsters.

=Appearance=

Rare Monsters are special versions of Common Monsters found all throughout Namaria. In your normal view they will appear to look the same as regular monsters. If you obtain the "Jewel of Monsters" from the Traveling Scholar, Rare Monsters will glow.

=Mechanics=

Even with the Jewel, getting Rare Monsters to spawn is tricky. Unlike Legendaries, Rare Monsters have nothing to do with the number of Common Monsters you kill.

Rare Monsters always spawn at specific locations, replacing the common monster that would normally appear there. Whether a specific monster is rare or common depends on how many Rare Monsters you have killed so far. The number of previous kills required is exact. A Rare that requires 1 previous kill will NOT spawn if you have 2 previous kills.

For example, there is a Firewolf located on the map just east of your original house (3rd from the left). If you have not killed any Rare Monsters, this Firewolf will be just a normal Firewolf. If you have killed exactly 2 Rare Monsters, this Firewolf will become a Rare Sodwolf. If you have killed more than 2 Rare Monsters, this Firewolf will once again be a normal Firewolf.

Some Rare Monsters require 4 previous Rare Monster kills. When you kill one of these, they will reset your Rare Monster kill count. This means that after killing your 5th Rare Monster, Rares that required 0 kills will now spawn again. There is no limit to the number of Rare Monsters in the game. Only certain Rares will be available at any one time, but overall you can kill as many Rare Monsters as you want. (There is one exception, one Neverus Sorcerer in Castle Conquest will reset the counter even though it only requires 1 previous kill to spawn).

=List of Locations=

This list will show all of the specific Rare Monster spawns sorted by the number of previous kills requires and subsorted by monster type. Detailed information about the types of Rare Monsters can be found here.
