Shadow of the Beast

Mission List: Rank (Squire) Preceded By: 3-2 Mission: Blades of the Fallen Followed By: 4-1 Mission: A New Chapter Important Stratum Themes: Monsters: Rewards: Prestige x60 Simple Orb of Alchemy x3 Evo Catalyst  Frumious Fang

Shadow of the Beast is a 3-2 rank mission.

Overview

Description:

Spiral HQ has detected a recon module left by the Alpha Squad somewhere within the Gloaming Wildwoods. It is your mission to locate and retrieve the module.

The Gloaming Wildwoods is home to packs of wild beasts that have proven deadly for squads in the past. Because of this, Tech Knights have placed Beast Bells throughout the area. Striking them should stun any beasts caught within the sound wave they produce.

Be advised that Recon Knights have reported the presence of a terrible beast the likes of which we have not seen before stalking this forest. Known as 'the Snarbolax,' it appears as a shadowy mass of fangs and claws and seems completely immune to our weaponry. Should you encounter it, try and find a means of escape as fast as possible.

Objective:

Defeat the Snarbolax in the Gloaming Wildwoods and recover the recon module.
