Are you in the right area? As far as I know, it has to be the narrow bridge leading to Tiamat, not any of the rooms prior. I wasted a fair amount of time in the room before the bridge. After moving to the bridge, got my Warmech spawn in about 10 minutes.

Took me 3, good luck!

took me awhile, i was lv72 when he died...hes kinda rare lol and annoying part is he can run so if he gets away well gotta find him again. And he can do it if he ambushes you.

The rate is awful. And I accidentally ran from the first one and it didn't actually count.

[clockworklemon]

finally spawned. and after so long of mindlessly auto battling had forgotten to top up hp and mp......... nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke.

He was my 2nd encounter there and he wiped me hard. Healed, ran thru corridor, 3rd spawn. All I was trying to do was get to Tiamat. I did end up killing it but i was super low on HP and spells at the end. Made Tiamat a lot harder to kill without my Temper spell. (Knight, Ninja, Master, W.Mage)

4 hours searching and I still haven't seen him

[Spooniest]

Everyone complaining about how this version isn't as difficult as the NES version needs a good solid 4 hours hunting for WarMech for their Field Research Achievement

[Elgroscriss]

Took me an hour. Wiped because was done expecting him and didnt heal.
Retried for 5 minutes, got him again, this time with determination, Saber, Temper and Haste...it was over in 2 turns.
Take that 100% achievement!

It can spawn anywhere in the last room right? not just the bridge part, I was watching a video and it spawned in the big room at the end, just want to make sure.

[Elgroscriss]

As long as youre on the floor with the long bridge, it doesnt matter. Its not limited to some pixel square zone on said floor.

[clockworklemon]

its literally the only thing in the game that gave me any trouble aside from the very first level grind. ive got a save outside the tower so when i can be bothered one day il go back for war mech.
decided to just push on and beat the game finally. even chaos is easy, just has tons of hp.

I think if you head straight to the top floor of the sky castle from the front door of the mirage tower, without stopping for treasure and basically knowing where you're going, I believe he'll show up within the first 5-10 battles on that floor. I know that works in some of the older ports or maybe the original NES, and it seemed to work for me this time 'round too.

[Elgroscriss]

Id guess its really random. A bit like the Iron Golem and the T-rex.
Some people werent even looking for them and got them...others are farming for hours with nothing to show.

If your party is already significantly overpowered, then turning on the "Continue Auto Battle" option and setting everyone to "Attack" would be advisable. Put on a Pink Floyd or Blue Öyster Cult record while you grind.
