Since Elongata was already reworked and brought in as a pet, could it also be reworked to bring Elongata back to its fullest and make it a full blown World Boss again?
If it was there are many crazy awesome options to go about bringing it back. I’ll only talk about the best two I came up with and others can elaborate how they would like to see Elongatas return!
- (IMO the better option) Originally in Orbus you had to use ithecac to find secrets around Patraeyl, this was also used to find the secret of Elongatas lair as well as to fight it. I’m not 100% sure correct me if I’m wrong but if you didn’t have ithecac active you couldn’t even see Elongata or its attacks.
Using that same concept, give Elongata multiple spawns, 3 would probably be ideal. From the moment a Shard Instance is created Elongata could be in 1 of the 3 spawn points. You would still have to use Ithecac to track down Elongata and find all the spawns as well have enough to keep it active to fight and see Elongata itself.
This would make farming a little more difficult however the initial tracking down will be such an adventure to even try to find a trace of Elongata and even after the spawns are discovered like I said farming will be harder for running from spawn to spawn after jumping shard to shard and having scouts at all the locations in all the shards will take a higher level of organization and it would just be an adventure to see it all unfold.
- The second option I think would be an understandable one would be to put Elongatas spawn somewhere in the Forsaken Isle. IMO I think the Ithecac concept is great but I can see players with color blindness having some complaints so you could really go either way on this idea. I personally would like the ithecac concept but I’m just one person and I’d prefer the first option anyways.
Now after saying this I already know @Outlander_Robert is gonna read it and be like “duuuuuuuude we talked about this.”
So if Elongata came back he wouldn’t be exact just like Dobengrubben, he would be a rendition based on the original.
