Hello, (/r/FFXV). This one was definitely worth doing a guide for, however, I'll try to provide as many methods as possible for the non-Season Pass players because this Timed Quest leans heavily towards the Season Pass players, as far as time and efficiency goes. This Timed Quest is quite the tough one, most definitely just as tough as Dread Behemoth or even tougher considering the restrictions, etc. However, I enjoyed making this guide since it took longer to do experiments and well, I thoroughly tested everything and have came up with the following methods that will be listed down below. I must say, I had the most fun creating this guide because of the immunity the Tyraneant monsters had. It took a lot of trial and error to figure out what the best methods were for time trimming and well, generally efficiency. This guide includes methods that requires the use of items, etc. Much different to the previous guide!

So, what are we waiting for? Let's get right to it!

nyone who is doing this in less than 5 minutes, is abusing the Armiger Glitch. The actual time to do this is anywhere from 15+ minutes. I do not recommend using the Armiger Glitch, since - what's the point being in the top ranks on a single-player console game? I wouldn't be too sure what you'd be trying to prove. One does not simply be recognized when cheating

Additional Information

People had been wondering about the best ways to farm Wind-up Lord Vexxos. I've added a farming method, friendly to both Season Pass and Non-Season Pass players. I figured this would be necessary, I hope this helps those who has no intention of climbing the ranking but has more intention for the farming phase of the Wind-up Lord Vexxos. You can locate this information at the bottom of this guide, after all the efficient methods for EXP/Ranking.

Timed Quest Information

Monsters

Lv130 Tyraneant x4

Rewards

120,000 EXP (per completion) 50 QP (first time reward)

Restrictions

Ring of Lucii Ragnarok Carbuncle

Immune

Pretty much everything apart from two things.

Weakness

Magic (Fire, Ice, Lightning) Royal Arms

Recommendations

Zu Beak

I highly recommend farming Zu Beaks for this Timed Quest. Why? Limit Break spells will be important for this.

Don't know how to farm Zu Beaks? - Don't fret, (/u/LemonEatingKowGaming) has a comprehensive (Zu Beak Farming). Give it a watch and you'll see how to farm them!

Magic Elements

[Optional, but recommended]

Out of all the elements, I've found Ice to be my personal favorite for this Timed Quest. It proves most efficient. Only downfall is that it doesn't have the damage over-time but don't sweat it, these troublesome Tyraneant's always moves out of the Lightning/Fire damage over-time perimeter.

Ice proves most efficient since it slows down the movements, considering that these monsters moves fast all over the place thus providing minimal damage if they move too much with the following methods I am going to list.

(Note: Of course, if you prefer other elements, you're more than welcome to give them a shot.)

Magic Potency

[Optional, but recommended]

I highly recommend getting 999 potency. Slot in just enough Zu Beaks to get 999 potency depending on the magic of your choice.

Accessories Preventing Confusion

Ribbon Rainbow Pendant

Notes

From what I've seen, you can get 120,000 EXP per run. If you can do this rapidly in anywhere between 15-20 minutes, you'll be netting a large profit as far as EXP farming goes, unfortunately this mainly applies to the Season Pass players. Non-Season Pass players will not benefit EXP in comparison to the (Wyvern EXP/Gil Hunt Grinding Method) since they will take much longer.

It seems like that if you break their appendages, you will have a chance at looting Wind-up Lord Vexxos which is also a limit break catalyst. Thanks to (/u/ShirasagiS) for pointing this out! If you're using any of the Armiger methods, go and break some appendages for a chance at it! Remember, this is based on RNG. There is no guarantee!

Season Pass Players Methods!

Method #1: Ignis's Overwhelming - (Season Pass Holders)

Noctis

Main Weapon: Bow of the Clever Royal Arms Equipped for Attributes: Sword of the Father & Axe of the Conqueror Magic Equipped: Limit Break Freeze (999 Potency) - [Optional, but recommended] Accessories: Tech Turbocharger, Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Strength Accessory for last slot - (Honestly, either MV1 or MV2 would work if available!) Costume: Prince's Fatigue (No Jacket) / Royal Raiment

Ignis

Technique: Overwhelm Accessories: Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Vitality, +Vitality - (Honestly, either MV1's or MV2's would work if available!)

Food

I used Golden Tail Soup. This will get you occasional 9999's during Overwhelm. I didn't try any +Strength/HP recipe but this is also a plausible choice if you don't have the Golden Tail Soup recipe yet!

The Trick

Block around and fill up your Tech-bar. Once you're ready to use Overwhelm, pop a Freeze on the Tyraneant, preferably try to time it where it hit both of them. Pick one target and Overwhelm. Repeat this.

Notes

If you don't want to use too much Limit Break spells, then use it when you so desire. I had prepared a lot of Zu Beaks so I'm all down to using it as much as possible, personal preference.

If you so happen to choose not to use any *Limit Break Spells, then you can just follow the guide-lines and ignore the **Magic part. However, as stated above, magic use is definitely recommended.*

Method #2: Armiger

Noctis

Main Weapon: Your Default Weapon - Doesn't effect Armiger since Armiger uses all available Royal Arms. Royal Arms Equipped for Attributes: Sword of the Father & Axe of the Conqueror Magic Equipped: Limit Break Freeze (999 Potency) - [Optional, but recommended] Accessories: Armiger Charger, Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Strength Accessory for last slot - (Honestly, either MV1 or MV2 would work if available!) Costume: Prince's Fatigue (No Jacket) / Royal Raiment

Food

Golden Tail Soup If you don't have Golden Tail Soup, any +Strength recipes can replace it.

The Trick

Block around and fill up your Armiger Bar. Once you're ready to use Armiger, use Power EX Use Freeze on the Tyraneant, preferably try to time it where it hit both of them. Pick one target and Armiger. Repeat this.

Notes

If you don't want to use too much Limit Break spells, then use it when you so desire. I had prepared a lot of Zu Beaks so I'm all down to using it as much as possible, personal preference.

If you so happen to choose not to use any *Limit Break Spells, then you can just follow the guide-lines and ignore the **Magic part. However, as stated above, magic use is definitely recommended.*

Non-Season Pass Players

(Limit Break Spells = MUST)

Method #1: Overwhelming Freeze!

Noctis

Main Weapon: Bow of the Clever Royal Arms Equipped for Attributes: Sword of the Father & Axe of the Conqueror Magic Equipped: Limit Break Freeze (999 Potency) Accessories: Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Strength Accessory, +Strength Accessory - (Honestly, either MV1's or MV2's would work if available!) Costume: Prince's Fatigue (No Jacket)

Ignis

Technique: Overwhelm Accessories: Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Vitality, +Vitality - (Honestly, either MV1's or MV2's would work if available!)

Food

I used Golden Tail Soup. This will get you occasional 9999's during Overwhelm. I didn't try any +Strength/HP recipe but this is also a plausible choice if you don't have the Golden Tail Soup recipe yet!

The Trick

Attack the Tyraneant with Warp-strike or basic attack to fill up tech-bar faster. (Counter as much as possible for extra damage!) Once you're ready to use Overwhelm, pop a Freeze on the Tyraneant, preferably try to time it where it hit both of them. Pick one target and Overwhelm. Repeat this.

Notes

Considering you can't charge up your tech-bars as fast as the *Season Pass Players*, I do recommend popping as much Limit Break Spells as possible. You'll be farming a lot of Zu Beaks! It will take a very long time if you don't sacrifice Limit Break Spells

Method #2: Armiger

Noctis

Main Weapon: Your Default Weapon - Doesn't effect Armiger since Armiger uses all available Royal Arms. Royal Arms Equipped for Attributes: Sword of the Father & Axe of the Conqueror Magic Equipped: Limit Break Freeze (999 Potency) - [Optional, but recommended] Accessories: Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Strength Accessory, +Strength Accessory - (Honestly, either MV1 or MV2 would work if available!) Costume: Prince's Fatigue (No Jacket)

Ignis

Technique: Enhancement Accessories: Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Vitality, +Vitality - (Honestly, either MV1's or MV2's would work if available!)

Food

Golden Tail Soup If you don't have Golden Tail Soup, any +Strength recipes can replace it.

The Trick

Keep attacking the Tyraneant to fill up your Armiger bar faster, you won't charge it up as quick Season Pass Players otherwise. - (If I remember correctly, even if you use Zwill Crossblades or any other weapons, upon invulnerable hits, you can still charge Armiger. I may be wrong but I remember doing it at one point and successfully charging Armiger. I think I did it on Custards/Dolces back in Menaces, for some odd reason.) Once you're ready to use Armiger, use Ignis's Enhancement - *(I'd recommend using this 2 times minimum. If you have a third bar filled, use 3. Use Power EX Use Freeze on the Tyraneant, preferably try to time it where it hit both of them. Use Armiger on one of the Tyraneant.

Notes

Considering you can't charge up your tech-bars as fast as the *Season Pass Players*, I do recommend popping as much Limit Break Spells as possible. You'll be farming a lot of Zu Beaks! It will take a very long time if you don't sacrifice Limit Break Spells If you REALLY don't want to use/farm Zu Beaks, then ignore the magic part. Not recommended for time efficiency, however.

Method #3: Don't want to farm Zu Beaks? No problem'o! - (Slowest Method)

Noctis

Main Weapon: Star of the Rogue Royal Arms Equipped for Attributes: Sword of the Father, Axe of the Conqueror, Ulric's Kukris Accessories: Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Strength Accessory, +Strength Accessory - *(Honestly, either MV1 or MV2 would work if available!) Costume: Prince's Fatigue (No Jacket)

Ignis

Technique: Enhancement Accessories: Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Vitality, +Vitality - (Honestly, either MV1's or MV2's would work if available!)

Food

Golden Tail Soup If you don't have Golden Tail Soup, any +Strength recipes can replace it.

The Trick

Warp-strike spam the Tyraneant's, or you can simply throw Shurikens at it like a ninja the whole time. However, I do suggest warp-striking and breaking it's appendages. Whenever Armiger comes up, use Ignis's Enhancement. 2-3 pops would be just fine! Use Armiger of one of the Tyraneant. Repeat!

Notes

This method is for the ones who doesn't want to farm any Zu Beaks whatsoever. This is by far the slowest method.

Additional Methods - Wind-up Lord Vexxos Farming

Method #1: Armiger - (Season Pass Players)

Noctis

Main Weapon: Your Default Weapon - Doesn't effect Armiger since Armiger uses all available Royal Arms. Royal Arms Equipped for Attributes: Sword of the Father & Axe of the Conqueror, Ulric's Kukris Accessories: Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, Armiger Charger, +Strength Accessory - (Honestly, either MV1 or MV2 would work if available!) Costume: Prince's Fatigue (No Jacket) / Royal Raiment

Food

Golden Tail Soup If you don't have Golden Tail Soup, any +Strength recipes can replace it.

The Trick

Block around or attack the Tyraneant until you charge up your Armiger bar. When your Armiger bar is ready, pop it and target it's Face/Horn. If all goes well on the first Armiger, you should break it's horn for either a Treant Trunk or Wind-up Lord Vexxos. This is all RNG. If you don't break the horn, repeat the process. Do this for both the Tyraneant. Once you break the horns for a chance at the Wind-up Lord Vexxos for both of them, leave the aggro perimeters and intentionally fail the Timed Quest. Restart the Timed Quest and fall back to step 1. Rinse and repeat until you're satisfied.

Method #2: Ninja Mode, Activated! - (Non-Season Pass Players)

Noctis

Main Weapon: Star of the Rogue Royal Arms Equipped for Attributes: Sword of the Father & Axe of the Conqueror, Ulric's Kukris Accessories: Ribbon/Rainbow Pendant, +Strength Accessories, +Strength Accessory - (Honestly, either MV1 or MV2 would work if available!) Costume: Prince's Fatigue (No Jacket) / Royal Raiment

Food

Golden Tail Soup If you don't have Golden Tail Soup, any +Strength recipes can replace it.

The Trick

Target the Tyraneant's Face/Horn. Repeatedly Warp-strike until you break it's horn for a chance at either Treant Trunks or Wind-up Lord Vexxos Of course, with the downside to all royal arms, your HP will decrease rapidly and there is no way to mitigate this. Use a potion whenever deems necessary. Repeat this process for both the Tyraneant. Once you've broken the horn from both the Tyraneant, leave the aggro perimeters and intentionally fail the Timed Quest. Restart the timed quest and fall back to step 1. Rinse and repeat until you're satisfied.

Notes regarding Wind-Up Lord Vexxos Farming

If you want to save time by efficiently, I recommend saving at the start of the farm. Similar to that with MV2, when you'd save/reload to save time rather than let time goes by. Unless you don't mind farming Wind-up Lord Vexxos during the night with a possibility of Daemons spawning, by all means. Just a quick note!

I hope this guide helps both those who are a Season Pass Player as well as the Non-Season Pass Players. Unfortunately, this is some heavy duty required Timed Quest. Once again, combat wise, this will be a tough one for those who aren't close to being prepared. Considering the immunity of these Lv130 Tyraneant, it will require some heavy preparations and definitely should not be considered for lower levels since they won't make it far, unfortunately - truth be told. Anyways, I wish you all a happy grinding and ranking, as always. Feel free to comment below if you have any concerns or questions. I'd be more than happy to answer. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I sure hope this helps you!
