Guide to completing the 'A Not-So-Watchful Eye' side quest in Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. Learn the monster's weaknesses and strategy to defeat it.
Alright, let's tackle side quest 115, 'A Not-So-Watchful Eye.' This one's pretty straightforward and pops up automatically when you enter the East Wood, which is way out on the eastern edge of the Broadleaf area. You'll find yourself there in Chapter 8.
Basically, a monster inspector was sent to check out some weird, misty dark stuff. He's not exactly thrilled about it, claiming he's too busy with 'important research' – sounds like he'd rather be sleeping! Your job is to head to the end of this little dungeon and deal with the Tainted Monster. It's a level 47 Crystolith.
Before you head in, do yourself a favor and open up your Tactic Tweaker. Make sure you set the Monster Affinity to 'Solidity.' Trust me, this will make dealing damage to the Tainted Monster a whole lot easier.
- 1Enter the East Wood.
- 2Head through the mini-dungeon to find the Tainted Monster.
- 3Boss Fight Strategy: This enemy is pretty similar to the Crystal Crypt monsters you might have fought earlier in the Broadleaf area. If you've battled those, you'll recognize its moves. If not, think back to the boss you fought outside the dice factory in Chapter 4 – it's got all the same attacks. The main difference here is that instead of just spinning during its combo, this one will shoot out tracking orbs that follow you. Keep moving to dodge them!
- 4Use the 'Solidity' Monster Affinity to deal extra damage.
- 5Defeat the Tainted Monster.
