Do we have spawn charts for Lightning Beasts?

[Addark]

I've searched the forums quite a bit and haven't found anything difinitive, but I've also been doing some of my own research. (My first map I kept track of had Rappies, so, awesome. XD)

Sadly I'm on the 360 so I can't take screenshots. x_X But I do have the spawns for one of the maps now.


Block one :
This one starts off with you overlooking a square-shaped room below with a laser gate on the floor below, but directly across from you.
Go to your left past the crystal and head down the stairs.
3 Go Badillas spawn, then two more once those are killed. When all are dead, 3 Distova spawn, and the gate opens.

I don't know if it matters but when you destroy the poison trap pots a little later on, a turret trap shot green bullets - most traps shoot lightning.

Block two :
Square-shaped room with a pillarin the middle.
6 Go Badilla spawn, and the next room has two Shagreece (not sure if this is important or not but I wrote it down anyway :3)

Block three :
I believe this block is the same no matter what map variation it is, right? If not I can draw a map in Paint. XD
4 Go Badilla spawn, then three morewhen those are killed. In the next room (before you open the gate with a key), 3 Distova spawn, then two more.
In the room with the key in the poison pot trap, you fight a bunch of Go Badilla and a non-buffed Jarba.

Block four :
This is pretty well-known already, but only Distova and the gigantic things spawn. XD
The final room will have five Distova, then four Rappy Noels. :3



I'll be running this a bit more and taking note of what spawns things and what doesn't unless somebody tells me otherwise. =O

The best map pattern that I found is easy but is a 50/50 Chance of Rappy.

You want the room where you go to the Balcony and looking down, the stairs are on the Right and Left. They are facing eachother.

Only Bardia Spawn in first room
- Go up the 2nd set of stairs and turn Right as those Lightning Guns are shooting you
- Go down another set of stairs and there is some Rubble that you need to Break w/ 3 Barrels at the end on a Bridge
- As you break the Barrels there should be a set of Birds Flying. If Distova spawn then it's a bad map
- If Birds Spawn then you have a great chance of it being a Rappy Map

Ah, yeah, that's a pretty well-known one, too. I'll try to get that one in better detail in a little bit. n_n

Also, I COULD maybe do screenshots via my camera phone but it's suuuch a pain uploading them. D: And it costs me 25 cents a pop. But then the quality would be terrible..

I dunno. Starting my second run now. :3

That's the rare map varient I use. I usually finish the mission to get a chance at Solid / Knight.

[Addark]

Unless I know it's not a Rappy map I finish it off just for the experience and a chance at stuff in the boxes. Huge Cutters would be nice. xD

Ooh, Indica, I just got the Go Badilla and Shagreece map you mentioned. I'll take careful notes and see if there's a way to tell that Rappies are on that map or not. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Alright, I got a similar map but no Rappies; I'll post my findings just so we can try and find the differences (if any).

I REPEAT, I DID NOT GET RAPPIES ON THIS MAP.

Block one :
First room - 4+1 Go Badilla
Two Shagreece in the hall after the debris where you break the containers
Just before the gate, there are 3+5 Go Badilla, followed by 3 Shagreece, followed by 2 BUFFED Jarbas.

Block two :
4+3 Go Badiilla in the first room, then 3+2 Distova

Block three :
3 Go Badilla followed by 5 Shagreece
In the room where you get the key for the locked door, there are 3 Shagreece followed by two UNBUFFED Jarbas.

Block four :
5+3 Distova, and in the last room, there were 5+3 Distova and then three Go Bajillas spawned before the Distova were killed.

[KyEmo]

B4 has a chance between Rappies or Go Bajillas after the Distovas are killed.

50/50 http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Addark]

Ah, alright. It's been established that there's no tell? I was hoping to find something that differentiated the two, but ohwell. O:

[Indica]

No there is no way to tell, just make sure there is 2 Birds on that bridge.

That's what makes this the easiest map where the others you need to know what's on Block 2, 3 etc..

[Addark]

Ahh. I ran the first variant I posted about and got an identical map, but no Rappies. x_X

[funnymatt]

Thanks guys- got a dagger of serafi board on my first try. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Zorafim]

Addark's map is slightly easier, since it has less (much less) birds to deal with. I normally finish it five minutes faster, and with much less stress.

By the way, when the 3+2 Go Badiras spawn (as opposed to 4+1), and the 3 Go badiras + 2 Distovas spawn across the stairs (as opposed to 4 Distovas), no matter what it's either a Rappy map or not. I had a case where B3 was completely different, and I still got rappies.

[NeoTeppin]

both of the maps have variants where you dont get rappies, and at the moment im VERY FRUSTRATED AT THIS GAME. ive dont over 20 maps that could possibly have rappies on them, about half on the 3+2 and half on the shagreece map.

IVE GOTTEN 1 SPAWN OF RAPPIES. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

however they got me a serafi board so its not that bad....

Yeah, I noticed that last night after doing a couple of runs. If you get all Distovas, block two starts out differently, though.

Still, it's a timesaver finding out then instead of block two. XD



This is strange; I can't find the third map variant AT ALL. Maybe that's why you get more Rappies here; there are only two variants?

[Bliven]

after the billion times I ran this map looking for huge cutter, I can only remember 2 different map variations. I could be wrong, but I don't think there even is a C variation of the map.

[galaxy]

ok so first rappy spawn: 2 christmas trees, a rappy feather, and a serafi feather...

question though, if you get a rare spawn map, do you have to kill EVERYTHING to gaurantee the rappies will spawn? pretty much, 2 buffed jarba's appeared and took my little fortetecher FOREVER to kill. i had the key already so i didnt have to kill them, but i got paranoid about not getting rappies. do i have to kill everything or can i speed run through?

also, are there any other special requirements? like, if i die and go to the lobby does that affect rappy spawning? or time? anything like that? if my rank decreases?

[Randomness]

Any tips for getting through the map at a decent rate at level 92 and WT 11/AT 10? Taking me around 40 minutes to kill everything in there and clear the map. (With only one spawn past where the rappies show, might as well)

Yes it mattered, I just got to this point and had 4 Go Badilla, next room 3? Distova, followed my one Mage.

Not always this variation either, I got to this point the run before and it was 3? Go Badilla, no respawns for sure. The next room was a bunc of birds (5-6), not Distova. It was not a rare map, I finished it. [edit] Upon review, this was the same non-rare map Addark posted in his 4th thread post.

Just got this "bird box" or "left-right gate" variation, whatever you want to call it, and in the end it was a rare map (got 4 Christmas Trees >_> on S)

Block 2: Go Bajilla x4 +2 +1
(next) Distova x3 +2
(Grass Assassins x2 at end)

Block 3: Go Bajilla x3
(next) Birds x 5

Block 4: Distova x 6

[YUKI_N]

Although it's already been stated in this thread, heres what I've found as the two rare variations to look for

Red gate in the first room: 3+2 Go Bajira, then 3 Distova. If there are no Distova, restart. Run up the stairs and past 3 more Go Bajira to the next spawn. If you see 3 Go Bajira and 2 Distova, then its a potential Rappy map. If you see 4 Distova, restart

No red gate in the first room: Run past the first 4 Go Bajira, then break the rubble and the boxes behind it. If you see Shagreece, potential rappy map. If not restart.

Hope this helps someone

[StrongFiend]

LETS PUT ALL THE INFORMATION TOGETHER http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif so i don't get confused >.> go to go rappy hunting before i go to grannies!

[Fresh]

wow i wish psupedia would work again because this is crazy everyone has a different method to how they "rare map" spawned there is like 6 different variants in this one topic for each of the two maps.

[Draxzarg]

Can ny1 tell me what the rare maps are on lightning beasts on parum?

[Jao]

i dont really know i went from the psupedias rare spawns but i dint get rappies.
Block 1:3 bardara thingys
Block 2:6 bardara thingys
Block 3: nothing but kotovas

[pikachief]

well looking at the mission where u start off facing the stairs, not with the stairs to the right.

First spawn must be 3 badiras

second block spawn is 6 badiras...

3rd block i've gotten rappies with both spawns

4th u must get all distovas.

so basically if u got B1 and B2 correct u have a 50-50 chance but thats as much as u can tell

[Draxzarg]

thx

[Jao]

oooo so its 50-50 dammmm i could of had rapppies>=o

yea i've gotten rappies with and without the correct spawn and i've gotten bajillas with and without the right spawn XD

its 50-50 past the second block http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Broodstar1337]

It's not so clear cut, guys. For starters, there are several variations of the map. For every map variation, there are four sets of spawns. For Lightning Beasts, they all pretty much start out with 3 or 4 badiras on the first spawn. In one specific map spawn, you need to get a Shagreece map.

I can't be of much more help. Psupedia.org is down and Google Translate conveniently stopped translating the JP-wiki at Lightning Beasts.

[pikachief]

yea the other map that starts off with the second stair case on the right instead, after u break the first set of breakable rubble u should get shagreece and not distova, and later on you should be teleported to some tower thing and there should be birds there too.....

but i havent gotten rappies very often with that variant so thats y i posted the other http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
