Snarbolax

Monstrous Profile

Strategy

The Snarbolax will burrow underground at the start of the battle, emerging at one of four corners of the room. It will perform various normal/piercing attacks involving projectile spikes and burrowing spikes. In this state it is immune to all attacks and status effects, so it is best not to try damaging it.

After the Snarbolax emerges from the burrow state, you have a brief window of time to push it towards the center of the room where a stun bell is located. Hitting this bell while beast types are near will stun them. When the Snarbolax is stunned, it will turn yellow and collapse (Throwing Stun vials may also work, though they have not yet been tested). It is at this stage that you may attack it. It will shortly regain consciousness and turn black and give itself a buff and resume its normal routine. Repeat this process until the Snarbolax is dead.

The Snarbolax is slightly weak to Piercing and resistant to Elemental attacks, like all beast types.

Tactics

Have party members stand in opposing corners of the room, ready to push the Snarbolax to the middle when it appears. One person should be waiting at the bell, and, once the Snarbolax is near, should hit the bell to stun it. Then, everyone should attack it (try pushing it into a wall so knockbacks don't cause your allies to miss their attacks).

Drops

• 1-5 Frumious Fangs.

Notes

• The Snarbolax's health varies by the number of players in the party. Under some circumstances, he can be easier solo than in a group.
