*Predicting the beam: First, the Retrode will rear its head back and then the top eye will shoot out a beam of light. Small patches of glowing spots will appear following the beam's path indicating where the blasts will occur.

Strategy

Retrodes will shoot a beam, indicating where the explosions will occur. If adventurers can read and predict the beam's path, they can avoid damage and status effects.

  • Predicting the beam: First, the Retrode will rear its head back and then the top eye will shoot out a beam of light. Small patches of glowing spots will appear following the beam's path indicating where the blasts will occur. Then, the explosions will occur, starting at the Retrode's feet up to where the last patch of glowing spots is situated.
  • Can be lured to shoot the beam into walls and corners, despite the beam visual effect, the explosions will not occur making it the best time to counterattack.
