so how do i find the golden beetles or smthing im following the walkthru and didnt do them with crayden in rivulet hills and need to get the tokens for art razor i would preffer if it didnt involve grinding for hours if theres any way to spawn them in i would be very happy
go to an area with a golden beetle (such as rivelet hills), save game first next to the monster sprite that can have the golden beetle (as the golden beetle can run away in battle if your agility is too low, and/or before you're able to kill it, by saving first, you can load the game and try again to kill the golden beetle), and then try fighting that monster sprite that can have the golden beetle (its always the same monster sprite for each area one can be found at), if it does have a golden beetle and you kill it, then save game, then leave the area (rivelet hills in this example) back to the overworld, and then go right back to the same area, and rinse and repeat
if there's no golden beetle (you've engaged in battle and killed the monsters), then just leave the area (in this case, rivelet hills), to the overworld, and then go right back into the area, rinse and repeat the paragraph above this (run-on) line/sentence
it's random, so just keep on doing it, later on in the game, you can get the 'rewards' that make it much easier and faster to farm them
(I think you do have to kill a monster sprite, to re-roll the RNG, though maybe you don't have to, not sure, but you definitely have to leave the area to the world map, and then come back to the area, for a chance at another/new golden beetle)
--------
I might be wrong on the exact mechanics, so take this with a grain of salt...
basically, the rng randomly selects which monster sprites (of the different areas, aka, which areas are selected to get the golden beetle) that can have the golden beetle, in which ones get the golden beetle, to cause the "re-rolling" of the rng, you definitely have to leave an area to the world map (and then go back into an area that can have a golden beetle), and possibly also have to do a battle too, but am not 100% certain if doing a battle is also required or not
just for a pretend example...
let's say there's 10 areas that have a specific monster sprite which can have the golden beetle, and each time the rng is "rolled", it randomly selects let's say only 3 of those areas and their specific monster sprite, for which ones have the golden beetle at it
so, that's why it's best to just go into and leave and re-enter the same area over and over again, and how often you get a golden beetle is just "your"/the luck with the rng...
------
lastly, they may be prevented from spawning too early in the game progression (near the very beginning of the game, before crayden goes with you to rivelet hills and caimridge), but am not sure of this...
