Game Tip: Easy Slime Hunting

Post by Demon »

Here's one of the first fun tutorials for The Mana World.

Going out to hunt monsters is the main focus in the game thus far, so what can make it easier? Something that draws the monsters to you, instead of having to find the monsters. So far, this trick only works on the Slime monsters because their script makes them go after any dropped item.

The minimum stats for Slime Hunting alone are:
Level 24
Strength 20
Vitality 20
This is pretty much the easiest level at which a lone player can kill a slime fast, without dying.

For pack hunting, it really doesnt matter, as long as you can kill the Slime with minimal damage to your fellow pack hunters.

Strategy 1: Guerilla Warfare
1. Get a pack hunting group, and hide, or surround an area.
2. Drop an item in the middle of an open area.
3. Wait for slimes to get attracted.
4. When slimes get close enough, ATTACK!!
5. The slime slaughter is complete, the slime that took the item(s) will drop them again.

The logic behind this is that the Slimes are programmed to find dropped items, and pick them up, the item is then dropped by the same slime that picked it up, when killed.

Done right, the slimes wont know what hit them. :D Have fun!

We must slaughter them until they are NO MORE!!

well, actualy i have fun with slimes by dropping an item, then picing it up again, and loop that for like 30 mins XD

ok ok, i dont do that ... not enough time -_- but just a simple shoot and run is good too right?

If your still not able to kill slimes in a normal melee attack then I dont think you should be in the desert.
