Hunting Xi Wangmu
Client | Reward | Task |
Burroughs | 0 Macca | Slay Xi Wangmu |
You’ll get this Quest after breaking the demonic barrier in Ikebukuro – Sunshine Front and after talking to Kaga.
Start by collecting the relic in the black car ahead. If you have accepted the challenge quest “Ikebukuro Free District”, you should be able to climb up the car to take a photo of the Ikebukuro Sun Building. After taking the pic, continue to the northwest until you reach the next area.
There are a couple of hunter corpses here where you can loot a Chakra Drop and Poison Gas. The blue car also contains a relic. To the southwest blockaded portion you’ll find a chest containing a Balm of Rising. After collecting the treasures, return to the previous area and jump off from the broken concrete wall.
Beware of the purple sludge in the streets since it can poison your characters. Explore the area for relics and items. From your landing point, head to the northwest to find a chest with an Ag Incense inside. The ladder nearby will allow you to climb back up to the flyover. The chest to the northeast corner contains a Light Grimoire.
There’s an exit to the southeast leading back to the city map though it only leads to a relic spawn point. Xi Wangmu’s domain is located to the southeast, where a Ring of Gaea member is standing outside. If you want to heal up before facing this demon, you can visit the Ikebukuro Underground District and clear the demon domain that’s occupying its terminal. Head to the southwest to find a chest containing a Chakra Pot and a relic. From there, you can exit to the city map.
Once in the city map, you can enter the nearby temple to find Hariti. If you have the Challenge Quest “Sunset for a Demonnapper”, this is where you can find her and continue the quest later on. Make your way to the west and pick up the relic along the way. Go north to find a chest containing a Chakra Pot. From there, follow the road east to find the Ikebukuro Underground District.
The first thing you’ll notice is that this isn’t a safe zone unlike other underground districts. There are a few rooms with NPCs but they won’t be of any help. Just go follow the path and go around. There’s a room with a Lifeless Woman to the east and she’ll ask you if you’re a demon or a human. Either choice will prompt the woman to leave. Proceed further to the northwest and destroy the wormwood barrier.
Save your game and enter the terminal door to a demon’s domain. You have to defeat a group of Demons afterward.
LV28 Kaiwan
Weak: Ice
Null: Dark
LV28 Incubus x2
Weak: Elec
Resist: Force, Light, Dark
This shouldn’t be a hard battle, considering their HPs are practically low. Just exploit their weaknesses to win the battle. If you have an all-out ice skill, you can use that to exploit Kaiwan’s weakness while damaging the incubi as well. Otherwise, you can do the other way around, by exploiting the incubi’s weakness using all-party elec Skills.
After clearing the terminal, the main quest “Activate All Terminals” will be updated. You can now head back to Mikado and conveniently rest in the barracks before returning here. Once ready, head back to Ikebukuro – Sunshine Front (lower) and enter the domain to hunt for Xi Wangmu.
This domain has a fixed map so it’s easy to navigate. Just ignore the other rooms since there are no way of saving those trapped NPCs without defeating Xi Wangmu. Head east then north then west to find Kaga fighting a couple of Demons. She’ll let you take out one of them.
LV28 Qing Niugai
Resist: Dark
Null: Light
This demon doesn’t have any weaknesses but its HP is just around 1000. You just need to attack and heal normally to take it out.
After Defeating the Demon, heal up and have some Demons that can dish out Force Skills and has anything to counter elec skills. Lastly, having demons that can debuff will be practically helpful in the upcoming boss battle. Save your game when ready then open the door ahead to face the boss.
LV30 Xi Wangmu
Weak: Force
Resist: Phys
Null: Light, Dark
For the first round, don’t bother attacking her. Instead, buff your party and/or use debuffs on her. Once you used your non-offensive Skills, try attacking her only to discover that you’re dealing very minimal damage on her. During this scene, the other Ring of Gaea members will arrive and attack her as one. Finally, Kaga will also lose her life along with the other members.
This unfortunate incident will render Xi Wangmu susceptible to your attacks. This is the time also to go all out and chip her 4500 HP away. She will start the battle using Orchard Guardian, a skill that will raise all her stats. If you have Dekaja, you can use this skill to nullify the enemy’s buffs. Other debuffing Skills like Fog Breath, Acid Breath and War Cry can also help even out her advantage.
Xi Wangmu can use Maziodyne, which can be pretty destructive to any demon that has no resistance or has weakness against it. Her another skill is Megaton Press which can be easily repelled if you have Tetrakarn. When she’s critically injured, she will use Queen’s Feast, which will deal considerable damage to everyone and will heal her in the process. Continue dealing damage to her using force Skills and heal up your party as necessary.
After defeating her, the Quest will be complete. In addition to the exp reward, you can now also fuse Lady Xi Wangmu through special fusion.
Defeating Xi Wangmu will allow you to finish the following ongoing challenge quests: Ikebukuro Free District and Sunset for a Demonnapper. Refer to the Challenge Quests section for details.
