Foes with maximal HP encountered?

[Ardenian]

I am around the end and clearing everything out, especially optional dungeons and while catching back foes, I come along some slimes in the very top right corner that have 9,999,999 HP.

All slimes in that area have that insane HP amount, for no appearent reason. Is this supposed to be the case or is it a bug? More curiously, can you use them for the damage achievements? As they are immune to Doom (100%, that dark red skull), you cannot insta-kill them, is there another way?

If they're not also resistant to Freeze or Stun, you could just stunlock them with Anna's bow techs and whale on them for a while. That's what I'd do.

They're very much deliberate. They spawn as a result of a side-quest you do in that area, for the ninja-girl with the straw hat - remember? She asked you to fetch 3 slimes that she could use for target-practice, and after doing so told you that she'd train them into perfect target-dummies. She's as good as her word!

All three groups of slimes have maxed HP, but otherwise teeny stats, making them mostly harmless but a fine way to test out various combos and equipment-setups. And yes, they can be used for the damage-achievements - indeed, the group of 3 Bunny-Slimes are just about ideal for that. There's a Guide on here describing the how-to in detail, easily enabling you to dish out as much as TWENTY million damage.

May be a bug, but im pretty sure theyre there so you can capture them as its rly easy to accidently kill slimes when youre just trying to lower their hp and weaken them for capturing. Debuff them a bit and you should be able to capture them easily, even if theyre nearly at full health.

This makes more sense but it still is a good way to capture bunny slimes for that regen summon or whatever else or if you use them for quest "items" and you want them back.

Thank you very much for your explanation!
