Touch 04/10/24 2:15:29 PM #1:	What are some of the rarest enemies to spawn in games? I guess Pokemon shinies although I believe there's a charm now to make them a little more common. Would be cool if there were some enemies that had specific conditions to spawn and even then there's still an RNG factor at the end. --- My expectations they are low But you're the sun you make them grow <cite>Touch posted [p:979838616] in Rarest ene...

Dalthine 04/10/24 2:23:34 PM #3:	I don't know if the later games carried the concept forward, but there were rare monsters in the Phantasy Star Online games. If you weren't specifically running quests with large numbers of the common variants, it would take weeks or months of playtime until you spotted one. In Final Fantasy XI, a lot of "Notorious Monsters" would be a chance of spawning instead of one specific enemy in the zone (I.e. there are 6 flies in this area, one of the six is the placeholder and Valkurm Emperor may spawn in its place). But there's no guarantee people will be killing the placeholder to even give it a chance to spawn, so it might become incredibly rare to actually see. <cite>Dalthine posted [p:979838756] in Rarest ene...

Hambo 04/10/24 2:39:02 PM #12:	Feebas in pokeymans Ruby and Sapphire. It had some absurd hidden rules governing when it would spawn involving invisible mechanics and even when you got it right, other pokeymans could still spawn in its place. As an aside, to evolve it, you needed to max out its beauty stat, which was impossible if it had the wrong nature or something like that. So if you caught one that couldn't evolve, you'd have to catch another one or breed it (assuming it was female since there weren't wild ditto in the game). --- Hambo's alt. <cite>Hambo posted [p:979839005] in Rarest ene...

RetuenOfDevsman 04/10/24 2:44:04 PM #15:	Some enemies in the Mega Man Battle Network games were infuriatingly rare. V3 navis could often take a long time to find, but there were several that I looked for for MUCH longer. And the stupid thing was, you still had to get the right rank for the battle, which was often hard and even had an element of luck to it in addition. And in some cases, you could even get the rank you needed and still not get the chip. Like if there was more than one kind of enemy, or if you forgot and had something equipped where you would only get money. A lot of people straight-up chip tradered a number of em in BN1. I was one of the rare few who actually got the drop-down chip without it. --- There's a difference between canon and not-stupid. <cite>RetuenOfDevsman posted [p:979839101] in Rarest ene...

masterpug53 04/10/24 2:48:59 PM #18:	CobraGT posted... Rare enemies but also rare moves and rare drops/steals. Larva Eater from FF XII satisfies both: you have to kill 256 enemies while remaining the Great Crystal area before one spawns, then it can reappear again after beating another 30-255 enemies. It rarely drops the Danjuro, the most powerful dagger in the game, and this is the only way to get it (I can't seem to find the actual drop rate percentage, and the game's chaining mechanic further complicates this). Apparently the Zodiac version alters this by giving you other options for obtaining the weapon (and calls it by a different name). I only ever got the Danjuro once, and it was one of the luckiest drops I've ever gotten in gaming. I couldn't get any of the 'shortcut' techniques to work and was frustrated as hell after hours of grinding, and I told myself 'I'm gonna try one more time and then I'm done with this shit forever;' sure enough, the last Larva Eater dropped one. I cherished the hell out of that dagger and built Ashe around using it; pretty sure either it or Vaan w/ Yagyu Darkblade got the killing blow on Yiazmat that playthrough. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:979839171] in Rarest ene...

Rare enemies were way more valuable in the episode 1 and 2 gamecube and xbox ports, and for blue burst on the PC (you could also do this thing where you telepipe back to town and back to try to get rare enemies to spawn. You will wear the hell out of the gamecube's laser or whatever, but dammit you have to do what you have to do to get them sweet god/battles for you and the homies).

Flan Princess in FFIV had a 1/64 chance to appear in the last dungeon, and to get Adamant Armor you needed it to drop the Pink Tail, which itself had a 1/64 drop rate Also the pink tail had a far less than 1/64 drop rate. It was 1/256 but the way drop rates work in FF4 is first it checks to see if 1/32 drops. If it does then it stops dropping items. Then it repeats the process for 1/64, 1/128 and only then after failing those three checks does it get a chance to roll on the 1/256 drop table. You fight five of them at a time though and sirens guarantee you encounter them so it actually wasn't that bad.

It had some absurd hidden rules governing when it would spawn involving invisible mechanics and even when you got it right, other pokeymans could still spawn in its place. As an aside, to evolve it, you needed to max out its beauty stat, which was impossible if it had the wrong nature or something like that.

Yeah it was like one little section of a river and a few tiles there had a chance to spawn it and those tiles changed every day. I'm sure it's not the rarest encounter by far, even just within pokemon, but the rarity plus the specificity and obscurity made it a real pain in the ass to find. --- Hambo's alt. <cite>Hambo posted [p:979839923] in Rarest ene...

masterpug53 04/10/24 4:44:18 PM #43:	C_Pain posted... This is what I was going to say. I believe it could only spawn on like 4 tiles in the whole game or something like that. IIRC the specific way it worked was that there was one route with a river running through it (can't remember the specific number, it was the one that had the Weather Station in the middle). Feebas could spawn on six of those river tiles, which were randomized at the start of the game; you could talk to some NPC to reroll the randomization, but it's not an obvious thing (as in you wouldn't assume it had anything to do with Feebas unless you had a guide). It also only had a 50% spawn rate when you finally did find one of the six tiles, so you had to fish each tile in the river multiple times to be sure it wasn't there. I finally caught one after hours of painstaking searching, and every single Feebas / Milotic I ever 'caught' for my Pokedex up through Gen 6 was bred from that original one. I was never gonna jump through hoops to catch another Feebas. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:979840929] in Rarest ene...
