About the Desert Special Map

[Kinujou]

I need someone to help me confirm this. Earlier while in desert hunting the special map a friend of mine noticed something. Apparently according to a theory the entrances to area 2 of normal maps are different if the area 2 is a normal one or a special rare map.

Normal Entrance:

"Rare Map" Entrance:

The second entrance did in fact take me to the special area 2. However one or two incidents aren't enough to confirm something. if you're just happen to be wandering in desert in search of this special map, look at the entrances. if the first entrance keeps taking you to a normal area 2 but the second one takes you to the special map, report it here so we can confirm it. Thank you.

I can vouch for this.

Although I haven't taken the time (or was ever lucky enough) to find and take the screenshot of the entrance.

Did I miss something? What are these rare maps, and what are the benefits? Something related to rare enemies?

[Eternal255]

^This. I have been farming desert constantly and have not noticed anything about rare maps, please inform!

[Griffin]

Errr WHAAAAAAAAT???

[BIG OLAF]

I'm thinking he means the giant open area that Vader can possibly spawn in.

It's a special block from the desert free field, it's a really short block where Big Vardha or multiple Dark Ragnes may spawn.

WHAAAAAAAAT?

Yeah, it's true. Now relax.

[Griffin]

I've always wondered about Vardha being a Field boss, so it came as a huge surprise.

[Kinujou]

its the only field you can find him in it. there's also one for caves that spawns a vol dragon (dunno if quartz shows up).

[NoiseHERO]

I've only seen ragnes there but that was before varder came out...

I swear there were plenty other maps with fields big enough that I would assume could hold a varder though...

[Raymee]

Yup it's real.

I'm in it right now:

The third Story quest "砂漠の奥" (Tyrant in the Dunes) uses the same entrance for one of it's areas.

(Of course, you don't meet Varder innit)

[Whit]

Man, something was telling me to take a photo of the entrance too. If only I did ; -;

But yeah, I came across the same entrance when I ended up in the special map.

[Eternal255]

Hmm interesting, i ran across that map before, but never had any spawns of ragnes or varhda

someone else was prob there first : /

[valmont]

found one..

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i.imgur.com/anHG9.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

sadly no vader inside, or ragnes.. :-?

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i.imgur.com/xUlum.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

hmm i wonder if theres any special trigger to make them appear.

[Grifs Astoni]

I guess its spawn rate is low as usual (not surprising) Was looking for a Vadha with teammates, but we only ended up with Ragnes atm.
