I tried near the camp north of Hammerhead killing Magitreck drop ship guys over and over . rarely i get one of 3 Mechs includeing in that comes alone though after 5 in game days of trying i was never have been able to get Angelus=0 to spawn to try for a magetech v2 suit

I'm not sure what the trigger is. I did not get any mech spawns until after I full cleared the 3x Imperial bases in Lucis. I think you have to be in chapter 15 or at least 14.

I got 120 hours into my save with only assassins, bannermen and axemen dropping for magitek airships. At some point I went back to the Imperial bases and noticed I missed a bunch of areas still clouded in the fog of war. After clearing all of them out again, I just suddenly got mechs dropping - Veles Bis, Hoplomachus, Patria and Angelus in order of most frequent to least frequent.

Around the time mechs started dropping, I started farming a spot near Palmaugh Haven trying for Angelus. I got all mech drops up to and including Angelus but the spawn rate for Angelus was abysmal. I got tonnes of Patrias and I still do whenever I go back there.

I switched to Cotisse Haven and the Angelus spawn rate here is kind of broken. It drops from about 1 in 4 ships and frequently drops back to back.

I farmed Palmaugh for a week and got 11x V1s and 1x V2.

To give you an idea of how much more frequently Angelus spawns from the spot near Cotisse, I farmed 55 V1s and 1x V2 in 1 day.

I don't think Patria has anything to do with Angelus spawning. Patria has never spawned for me in the Cotisse spot but still spawns 10 to 15 times more frequently than Angelus in the Palmaugh spot.

You definitely don't need to do all three bases first. In fact, if you DON'T do the optional Fermouth Garrison quest, Angelus won't have his 90% damage reduction and is a joke to kill.

Try slightly north of the campsite west from three valleys. I found the spawn rate quite decent there.

North of Hammerhead, you'll come across a water tank and a shed. That's where he spawns very frequently for me. I'd also advise loading a save instead of waiting for the next imperial ship.

Not that there's much need for V2's. Enemies either don't do enough damage to warrant having it or they always 1 or 2-shot you regardless of it. I farmed them just to make the 4 bros as strong as possible.

I encounted this thing for the first time yesterday, and it was close to 4x my level. I wish I got a screenshot of my chokobo running up to kick it. I was doing that side quest to take photos of the crater on that side quest given by the touristy guy in that city with the power plant in chapter 2, so I am not far in the game.

Needless to say, I did not beat it.
