I am save scumming like crazy, combinations of yellow bees or dogs or that big web spider are enough to nuke me and I am dodging like crazy with dashes while relying on spamming gale bow to kill their hp... Took 7 hours and countless savescumming but finally finished 50. The reward report is as follows: A single Apex Predator Fang. (Saves attached if you want to confirm, very disappointed but was fun and challenging.)
Some tips from all my attempts:
- Dashing across ponds and chasms is almost key to avoid melee monsters, especially with those weak weapons.
- You can dash through monsters, very useful for bees and dogs.
- That one 5x Spawn is almost a certain gameover, especially with a combination of the purple dog, yellow bees, and big spider web. Of all the times I saw it, I think I only cleared it twice.
As for the Boss fight, my usual +10 falchion that I used to clear the higher levels I left unequiped, as surprisingly, the +10 gladius can ohko the small spiders despite the slower swing. (Took about 30 minutes and two dozen tries before I figured it out)
If you want to try the fight yourself in rogue (the Lv49 save is the one you use), the strategy I found to work best with my eqp was: Seduction knife to gank it as much as possible as soon as the match start, swap to gladius once it starts spitting out babies and ohko them as they come out, dodge if shooting long or stand still if shooting those traps. When he comes back and spits gas, circle lead the gas and slash the boss with gladius twice/thrice/maybe 4x, and rinse and repeat. Somehow managed to get hit by the gas only once in the finished match.
p.s. Thanks for telling me there was only 50, otherwise I would've probably bailed at 42~ XD
