Any tips on farming V3 chip in EXE 1(BN1)?

Like fireman V3. I know you can encounter him in internet 1 but it is only basing on luck? Any way to meet him easily?

All the encounters are random. I know i had a hard time with many boss just to show up. You will often fall asleep until one comes by. Unfortunately there is no trick like in the other games. You WILL have to endure all the battles and defeat the bosses without getting hit to get the chips.
Honestly let's just say thank heavens the bosses in this game are so much easier than any battle network game imo.

I just found a guide on youtube that teach you how to manipulate the RNG of boss encounter and it works perfectly. Basically the RNG is based on what sequence of buttons you put in before the boss fight. If you did the sequence right, you can 100% encounter the boss.

That explains why it can take dozens of hours to encounter a boss.....

I have a theory that the Boss encounter in Battle Network games (1-3) depends on your place in the Area. Like you can spend hours and not encounter the navi you want. But as soon as you move to a specific place, you can encounter it even 2-3 times a row.
But that is just a theory. However, when I played BN1 in this collection, that helped me. To the point of saving in a specific spot after I located the navi. However, After several encounters, the navi may change the place a little bit (a few blocks) or move to another part of the map.

Maybe my theory works for me because the button input depends on your location and how you move. You just cannot press specific buttons in some places.
For example, if you move diagonally, it counts less steps, so fewer encounters and more predictable results. Moving with up, down, left, right (not according to the isometric paths) provides less predictable results and more encounters.

I searched YouTube for RNG manipulation instructions and followed those, it became really easy that way. And if you find a manipulation that looks too complicated, there's probably an easier one in another YouTube video.

Yeah, knowing the spawn spots and where to step is pretty much mandatory if you wanna 100% the game any time this century. It's important to note that on MMBN2 & onward, it is not nearly as disgusting trying to find V3s thankfully, but you still need to be aware of what part of the map/tileset they're gonna be active on.
