Gameplay Mechanics:

This event pits your Onikabuto beetle against various enemies in a simulated battle within your Serenitea Pot. Controls are simple: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Utilize Piercing Strikes (hold attack button) for maximum damage.

Stage Strategies:

The five stages present unique challenges:

  1. "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A basic Hilichurl; focus attacks on its head, dodging its predictable attacks.
  2. "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Target its head and the Pyro Slime, especially when it prepares to throw it.
  3. "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage. Interrupt its fire spell casting, then unleash a flurry of attacks.
  4. "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage; employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl. Attack swiftly, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for significant damage.
