How to Get Hollow Metal in Nightingale

Learn where to find Hollow Metal in Nightingale! Discover the specific enemies that drop this valuable resource and how to use it for crafting and quests.

Alright, so you're looking to snag some Hollow Metal in Nightingale, huh? It's a pretty useful material, and thankfully, it's not too obscure once you know what to look for. Think of it like this: you're hunting down a specific type of enemy, and when you take them down, they'll drop this sweet loot for you.

The main place you'll be finding the creatures that drop Hollow Metal is in the Herbarium realms. They tend to pop up more frequently when you're dealing with objectives like the Fae Towers or during the Occupation missions. While they can show up in other high-tier realms, keep an eye out for them at night too, as they're part of the special night-time spawn events.

Honestly, I've had the most luck finding reliable sources of Hollow Metal during those tougher occupation battles, especially the ones in the Fae Towers. It just seems like the spawn rates are a bit more consistent there.

Now, the specific baddies you want to keep an eye on are the rogue-type enemies. These guys are pretty distinctive – they're tall and lanky, wear something like a balaclava, and they dual-wield daggers. They're super quick with their combos, so your best bet is to focus on blocking their attacks and dashing out of the way. Don't try to just stand there and tank them; they'll overwhelm you.

The good news? When you finally defeat one of these rogue enemies, they'll always drop the Hollow Metals you're after. Once you've collected a few, you can use them for a couple of things. First off, they're a key component for Viktor Frankenstein's quest – you'll need a good chunk of them to complete his hand-in. Just a heads-up, Viktor needs a bunch of other stuff too, like Yew Lumber, so make sure you're gathering those as well.

Beyond quests, these ingots are fantastic for crafting. They give you a solid 7.5% crit value and a whopping 40% stealth rating. This makes them perfect for a stealthy playstyle. You could slap them onto a knife for some serious backstab damage, or even use them to craft parts for shotguns if you're planning on getting up close and personal.

Oh, and here's a little bonus: you might even get an Advanced Hollow Ingot drop from the same enemies. These are even better and will help you push the item level of your stealth gear and weapons even higher. Definitely worth farming for if you're all about that sneaky, high-damage build.

So yeah, that's the lowdown on getting your hands on Hollow Metal in Nightingale. Happy hunting!
