Mt. Nomad Info

[LibertyorDeath]

I figured I'd jot down some info about Mt. Nomad; everytime I've killed him he gives me a diamond (the 1000 echo treasure). He doesn't automatically give you treasure though, once he's dead you get the choice to search the mountain or retreat. I've killed the mountain three times so far and I believe I'm starting to figure him out. Firth thing, you can kill him in the starter boat (killed him twice in the starter), obviously the stronger your boat the better. Flensing salvo does about 70ish damage to him (give or take), I haven't used any other attack on him so I couldn't tell you if it's better or not.

Now I will tell you how to farm the miraculous Nomad, and that strategy is...honestly there is no real strategy. Nomad is so random the best strategy I found is to burn him as fast as you can. If you're within 40 yards he will crush you so obviously stay above that. But he has a ranged attack and a one shot ranged attack which requires him to have 100 illumination (starter boat will get one shotted, boats with 100+ hull will not).

You can get lucky and have him cancel his one shot to seek you or illuminate you. His illumnations do damage to your hull. Last thing to note is, evade is your best move to reduce illumination unless you really need a strict 10 yards then use flee. That's about all I can think of on the creature a the moment.

Feel free to ask questions if needed.

引用自 Kain：

So there is more than one Mt Nomad or another only appear after the first dies?

When you fight Mt. Nomad and "win", you drive it off and it sinks below the sea to rest and heal, leaving behind the wreck of one of its previous victims for you to loot.

After beating Nomad 6 times now, it's safe to say his 100% "drop" (searching the mountain) is a diamond worth 1k echoes. If you fail the challenge you still get the diamon but in my case I lost 11 of my crew members.

"Blasphemy! Mt Nomad can not be killed, her terrible rageful hunger is endless. Even defeating her only drops her into the ocean a moment. Meaning it's possible to fight her multiple times in a few minutes if you circle the Chapel of Light. Her black glass heart does take mighty damage to Flensing attacks, but why would you want to strike her dark, chaotic beauty? You should give yourself to her hunger! Become one with her crystalline menace!"

You roleplayers sure are insufferable.

Mt Nomad is a jerk. She's bugged and occasionaly uses the one hit kill attack at only 70 illumination as opposed to the 100 the game says she needs. It's a battle against the RNG. If she uses the simple terror attacks you can get in illumination on her. Other times you will be stuck constanty getting "Seeked" and then instant killed at low illluminations.

O.o Then what are you doing here? Did you not READ what kind of game Sunless Sea was? It was practically custom tailored to appeal to role-players. If you can't respect other people having fun their own way, then why would you think it a good idea to read a community forum where those people whom you find so unpleasant are VERY likely to show up and speak? Not just likely to, INVITED to do so.

P.S. I thought the bit of flair Punk Muffin used in that post was rather amusing and added a nice break from the usual read.

(Lazardi Davonshire is a reoccuring character from my Mt Nomad artwork, as found under the artwork board. Telling stories is one of the ways players can add to a game, as it brings something additional to the table to play with. But, in the spirit of fairness, what would you want in a discussion board? Raw stats only?)

One of the best ways to earn money, but at high risk and still a bit of a grind for money. Fuel cost, hull repair, and supplies (if thats still a problem even with all the tasy Zee-bats flying around) will reduce from Echos earned.

You farm Mt.Nomad?

Worth noting that Mt Nomad has been more or less confirmed as female. At least, she's been referred to in a female capacity at several points in the story. I don't really want to reference where for fear of spoiling something.

How do you fight them now with the active combat system?

[this first-draft dream of mine]

I'd say to get better weapons and stay as far out of range as possible. If you're interested, one player celebrated the launch by doing a stream of fighting Mount Nomad using a boat so flimsy that a single hit from a baby crab would have killed it: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic10081-oh-s-houston-we-have-a-problem.aspx?Page=1#post83066

Au contraire, my friend. People like you are insufferable.

Uh, I think you got lost somewhere. This is the Sunless Sea forum. Call of Duty is that way ->

^ fixed the link. Note that he has the entire map explored, and the video starts with the map open, so... SPOILERS.
