Tracking down Final Fantasy XV's second Timed Quest: Malboro and Malbodoom

Final Fantasy XV‘s next Timed Quest is here, and this time it involves wrangling up a few Malboro and Malbodoom. As you might expect, this is no easy endeavor, but in the video below, we give it our best shot.

Like the previous timed quest, there is a deadline — you’ll need to down these baddies to claim the reward by March 13th, 2017.

Coming prepared with powerful magic is pretty essential, and lucky for you, the Malbodoom have a predisposition to hate the cold. If you have a piece of Adamantite, or any other item that allows you to concoct Freeze magic with a Break Damage Limit modifier, here’s the fight you’ve been saving them for.

Naturally, since Malboro-type enemies are widely known for spewing a heckton of status effects in your face, I’d really recommend equipping Ribbons on the whole party — though Noctis alone is sufficient. However, even with all the status effects negated, the breath itself does a ton of damage, even if you’ve broken the level limit that was raised in Patch 1.05. A good tip here is to always be mindful of where the Marlboro pack is facing — if you see them suck in air, you know a big, nasty exhale is coming. Also, the little malboros wandering around are a pain as they’ll spawn through the fight, so try to keep your damage focused on the big guys.
