Need an Ebony Pelt in Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising? Learn where to find the Giant Wolf miniboss and how to farm this rare monster drop for your gear upgrades.
Alright, so you're looking for an Ebony Pelt in Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, huh? It's a pretty specific drop, and you'll need it for some gear upgrades down the line. Don't worry, it's not too bad once you know where to look!
The Ebony Pelt comes from a miniboss called the Giant Wolf. You'll find this guy chilling in The Great Forest. Now, getting to him isn't something you can do right at the start. You'll need to have recruited Garoo first, because he's the one who can smash through those big, annoying rocks blocking your path with his sword. Keep an eye out, because you'll actually be forced to fight this miniboss as part of a Main Quest, and it's tied to a sidequest called 'An Armorer With an Eye for Fashion'. You might get lucky and snag the Ebony Pelt on that first encounter, but if not, don't sweat it!
If you don't get the drop the first time, here's the trick: just leave The Great Forest. Then, use your fast travel and head back to the Hellhound Lake signpost. This will put you right back in the area where you can find the Giant Wolf again. Easy peasy!
As for the fight itself, the Giant Wolf isn't the toughest miniboss out there, but it's definitely speedy. Its main move is a quick dash attack that can catch you off guard. If you've unlocked Garoo's special ability to block attacks, now's a great time to use it – it can really help you out. The other attack to watch for is when it leaps into the air and slams down towards the ground. Just keep moving and try to time your dodges or blocks, and you'll take it down in no time.
