Remnant of Corruption:

  • This is a crucial tool. When you encounter a monster possessed by multiple Essences (ideally at least 3), use a Remnant of Corruption on it. This can:
    • Add more Essences: Potentially pushing the number towards your target of 6.
    • Upgrade Essences: There’s a chance it might upgrade some Essences to a higher tier, but this isn’t the primary goal.

Map Selection and Tier:

  • While technically possible in any tier, focus on Red Tier Maps (Tier 11-16).
    • Higher tier maps offer a slightly increased chance of encountering higher tier Essences, which can be helpful.
    • Balance this with your character’s power and clear speed. Prioritize maps you can clear quickly to maximize attempts.

Clear Speed and Efficiency:

  • The key is to run numerous maps swiftly. This increases your chances of encountering the desired monster.
  • Prioritize layouts with good monster density for faster Essence monster encounters.

By combining these strategies and focusing on fast map clearing in Red Tier maps, you’ll significantly increase your chances of encountering a Map Boss with at least 6 Essences.
