Today has been a good day: first the Slug Monster, then The Drenched
So now I'm going for the Qasalan Mummy. If anyone feels like offering suggestions, please do!

SECOND UPDATE

The Qasalan Mummy fell like a house 'o cards!

So there you go, since DoN 8 I haven't changed my weapons set at all -- just kept training. Once you get the Snow Beast, you're basically done with DoN. I thought it would be much more difficult -- and sort of, kind of, wish it had (been). NOW WHAT!?

Been trying to beat the Slug Monster. His 2 main weapons are Rancid Battle Dung and Vile Swamp Water.

I generally start with Burrow as it protects me against all possible attacks except 3 dark. I tried using Burrow in conjuction with an Ultra Dark Refectorb, but that didn't seem to add much punch. With burrow I use the BoD and the SS. I don't seem to freeze him much or get a double freeze situation.

Then if he is not frozen I might use the Double Dryer, Shovel Plus & Sink as it offers protection, but if he attacks with the VSW I don't deal any damage but lose 100+ hp.

Then, I don't know, I try various combos but I'm basically lost. Suggestions?

Stats:

HP: 306
Str: 250
Def: 255
Move:63

Weapons I've been trying:

Snowglobe Staff
Greater Healing Scroll
Bow of Destiny
Honey Potion
Downsize!
Goo Blaster
Double Dryer
Shovel Plus
Snowglobe Staff

Other weapons on hand:

Scroll of The Dark Star
Sophies Magic Hat
Rusty Lamppost
Earthen Scorchstone
Enchanted Wooden Bow
Purple Sticky Hand
Leaf Shield
Dual Battle Mirror
Ultra Dark Reflectorb

Get a 100% freezer. With all the chance involved in that battle, you really don't need to worry about the fact that you only freeze 1/5 times with the staff. And start with drian life, it's more effective when he has more health.

Try this :

Neglecting stances ,

1st round : Diamond Dust (Preferred) / Fiery Gaze + Bow of Destiny + Drain Life until he is frozen AND used Jade Scorchstone ( 126 damage dealt )
2nd round : Honey Potion + Bow of Destiny + Berserk ( 228 damage dealt )
3rd round : Snowglobe Staff + Bow of Destiny + Burrow until he is frozen ( 71 damage dealt )
4th round : Bow of Destiny + Goo Blaster + Berserk ( 198 damage dealt )

He should be dead at this point .

It's good to buy H4000 Helmet or Freezing Potion so you don't need to try so many trials

Thanks a lot for your input cutejohn! But.....

Diamond Dust and Drain Life are both Faerie Abilities so I can't use them both at the same time?

I'm saving to upgrade my weapon set, but you know, at this stage it takes a little while to get all the nps required -- so I'm just trying with what I have for now

Nicely done! I'm still seeking for the Snow Beast

Did you get that double freeze and first round heal ? That's more awesome if you got that in the first trial

No, he actually froze me first round, but didn't capitalize on it in the second round. Then I used Snowglobe Staff + Bow of Destiny + Burrow on the third round and got a freeze. I followed up with Honey Potion + Bow of Destiny + Berserk for the 4th. Then used Sink + Bow of Destiny + Goo Blaster and that was it! (Maybe he had 2 hp or something still but I had 178 hp or something so ....)

I tried for the Snow Beast for months ( I just got him as a RE Friday night, April 6th) and here's what ultimately worked for me -- yes I know it was pronbably just luck but??. I refreshed at the Advent Calendar 25-30 times early in the day until I got a random event; any random event. Then later in the day I would refresh 50-60 times until I got another ramdom event. Then finally at the end of the day I would refresh 75-100 times and sometimes got a random event, sometimes not.

I did this every day for 5 days and got the Snow Beast. In the past I would refresh hundreds of times all in one go and never had any luck. So, I'm just putting out there what seemed to work for me. Best of luck!

Killing The Drenched should be an easy task. Just remember don't use your Goo Blaster
Replace it with Shooting Star Muffin.

Best of luck!
