Manticore Fight

[Lord Eistee]

I'm looking forward to defeat the beta manticore. But I wanna do it WITHOUT Rex's. My Argys (10k hp and 1k dmg) did a good but close job on the gamma. Any tips to spare?

brought 15 electric wyverns and that was an ez kill on even the alpha(scorched earth). If I'm not mistaken the jump from gamma to beta is not that big, so it depends what you mean by close job.
Did they all die but one, did none die but all low hp?? etc etc how many argy's ?

Nah they had almost full health but the time was just too close. We've would had lost, if I hadn't shoot it some time.

Edit: I gonna write that down with the wyvern. What stats did your wyverns had?

the manticore doesn't really do much damage it's mainly torpor so you can probably go pure damage on the wyverns if you bring in ones that you got from high level eggs most of damage your critters take is from it's minions so you just need to try and kill it before the wyverns start getting knocked out to avoid casualties course if you plan to have them ridden will also need to give them some stamina

How in the holy heck do you get 15 wyverns? I have only ever managed 1 x.x

egg hunting and wyvern milking isn't really hard once you get used to it especially if you set up turret stations and traps

I find it a bit though to go into the trench with my wyvern cuz its poison and wont resist anything else besides his element

I've seen boss fights using argy's before but they seemed to struggle with keeping up with him.
They survived ok but he nearly timed out of the battle.

You'd need a way to ground him, like a velo maybe?

Do the velos really ground the Manticore?!

It's probably a bug, but velos ranged attack cause wild creatures to land. We used them extensively on purple OSDs to ground the corrupt wyverns before getting to the drop.

Reapers projectiles will do the same to greater effect, as soon as it hit a wyvern, they go into the "on the ground" animation and fall out of the sky immediately. Of course reapers are much harder aiming at something as fast as a wyvern.

It's not a bug, it's a legitimate feature. And as a boss, I'm pretty sure the Manticore is immune to this feature

Do you have room to mutate more melee?

Using just Argies on Manticore always comes down to the wire.
