Need a Giant Branch for upgrades in Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising? Find out how to get this rare drop from the Hollow Plant boss in The Great Forest.
Alright, so you're looking to snag a Giant Branch in Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, huh? This is a pretty important crafting material, and you'll get it by taking down a specific boss.
Walkthrough
- 1The enemy you need to defeat for the Giant Branch is the Hollow Plant.
- 2This boss is located in The Great Forest.
- 3It's actually the very first boss you'll encounter in the game. It's possible you might get lucky and get a drop on your initial playthrough, but if not, don't sweat it! You can always come back.
- 4To refight the Hollow Plant efficiently, fast travel to the Great Tree Glade. This spot puts you right before the boss arena, saving you a bunch of backtracking.
Tips
- When you return to fight the Hollow Plant again, it'll have a little trick up its sleeve: a spider will drop down and shoot a web ball at you. This web ball can totally stop you in your tracks, so be ready!
- You have two options for dealing with the web ball: either hit it with your weapon to destroy it, or just dodge out of the way. Either works, so pick what feels best for you.
- For its regular attacks, the Hollow Plant shoots roots up from the ground. Keep an eye out for the red markers on the ground; they show you exactly where the roots are going to pop up, making them super easy to avoid.
- After doing the root attack a couple of times (usually two or three), the boss will expose its weak spot. It looks like a little worm thing crawling out of its mouth. Go all out and wail on it!
- Just a heads-up: once the worm is exposed, it'll shoot an energy ball after a few seconds. So, after you've wailed on the weak spot, be ready to jump and dodge to avoid that projectile.
Defeating the Hollow Plant has a chance to drop the Giant Branch.
