Warmech

[Ratiug]

Hi. Any way to spawn it faster? I loved the game and i just need that to get my 100% bestiary chase. Been trying for more than 3h.

Update: I did it. Thanks for all support peoples!!!

Took me two hours to spawn, it's that rare.

Patience and luck is what you need here.

Take breaks and just keep praying to RNGesus. Auto battle with the party on Flee, turn it off when Warmech shows up.

I guess it's time to take a little break. I'll come back later with auto flee. Thanks for the advice.

It has a really low chance of spawning, so it took me a couple hours of grinding to get it to appear

1/64 to spawn on the small bridge before tiamat ( I think )

so just be patient and it's will spawn

[cerozz27]

patient bro spawn very difficult stay in the bridge and use speed "lucky"

I finally found it, but it took at least two hours. Nothing for it except patience and RNG.

On the plus side, by the time I found it, my levels were high enough that it made the fight a breeze.

it takes awhile, best advice i can say is to set everyone to flee every battle and auto flee until you get him. Took me about 3-4 hours. Just walk up and down the path.

Ask Chris how. He was the original finder.

[Mr Snooch]

Took me about 2 hours

Godammit, I started searching about 5 hours ago, and no luck.

I just went back to Cornelia to buy 99 of each item, so I can be full of Ethers and High-potions to heal my characters after continous battles without any luck.

Depending on which version they used as a base for the gameplay, WarMECH has either 1/64 or 3/64 odds of spawning each encounter. It's entirely random, so unless people have discovered RNG manipulation techniques for the Pixel Remaster already, there's really nothing for it but to just keep at it, unfortunately.

Also remember that it only appears in the same floor in which you fight Tiamat, with the loooooong bridge you traverse to fight her in front of the Crystal altar at the northern end of the area! You cannot find WarMECH in any other floor, but you can find it anywhere in that one, since random encounter tables are uniform by entire floor in non-overworld map areas.

Best of luck!

it took me like 20 minutes using autoflee and sprinting, but he annihlated me with 3 nukes

It seems unlikely that Warmech is still using the original encounter rate states in this version. I have spoken to a number of people who have 100%ed the game and the distribution of time spent grinding does not match what it would be at either 3/64 or 1/64.

Reasonable possibilities imo:

- Warmech's encounter rate is below 1/64
- Warmech's encounter rate is 1/64 but the zone in which you encounter it is not the entire bridge map but rather a smaller portion of the map
- Everyone I've talked to has incredibly bad luck and also everyone in this thread has incredibly bad luck.

If you assume a 1/64 encounter rate, then the probability of not fighting Warmech for 100 battles is 20%; the probability of not fighting Warmech for 200 battles is 4%; the probability of not fighting him for 300 battles is 0.8%. My guess is that there's around 2-3 battles per minute while grinding. but I haven't timed it.

I think I spent about 2-2:30 of my total playtime trying to get Warmech and Iron Golem to spawn, compared to about 8:00 for the entire rest of the game and all other content.

It took me about a half an hour of grinding then taking a break to look it up. Then I went back into the game and left the border on which I usually do not because I like it borderless and was sticking to the smallest walkway areas on the bridge for both grinds and it spawned within 3 minutes. Not sure if this is just luck which it probably is (if someone is reading this and is like dang that is not fair boo! ) I spent half an hour grinding a basilisk on bahamut's islands and did not get it. Later I found it is also in the last dungeon. So I did spend an hr grinding just not for the same thing!
