<noinclude>{{see also|Timed Quests|Malboro/Malbodoom Timed Quest Farming Guide}}</noinclude><includeonly>=</includeonly>===Event<includeonly>=</includeonly>===This [[Timed Quest]] will have you fight an assortment of 2 lvl 38 Malboros [[Malboro]]s and 2 lvl 65 Malborodooms [[Malborodoom]]s with respawning lvl 38 [[Malboro Sprouts Sprout]]s and lvl 48 [[Malboro BratsBrat]]s. There's also one Karlabos [[Karlabo]]s there as well, which is not a part of the Event. It sounds like a huge hassle, but the rewards are worth it.

You can disconnect from the internet, kill the now lone Karlabos and reconnect to the web to fight just the Malboro enemies. The game makes an autosave right before the fight, if you load the save, only Karlabos will be present, so kill it, leave the area and the Malboros will spawn without the Karlabos. Credit and thanks goes to u/Xaxafrad.

Just like before, this Event is a good for [[EXP ]] and [[item ]] farming. Heck, it's probably even better since you can complete it in one minute if your party is strong enough. I was about to do go more into details on the farming, but I found u'''[[Malboro/Zetsunaii already made a guide for that, which can be found here.Malbodoom Timed Quest Farming Guide|Farming Guide]]'''

All of these enemies, except for the standard Malboros, are weak to [[Ice]], which can also freeze them in place. Try to gather them together and blast them with your best Ice element spell. They have low defences, so you can do massive damage to them like this, if not killing them outright. A sidenote here. It makes sense for them to be weak to Fire, since they're plants and the wiki confirms it, but as you can see in the video, when I cast Freeze, all of the enemies except for the standard Malboro get critical damage.

All Malboro type enemies have a LOT of HP, Malborodooms especially, but have low defences and are weak to [[Greatswords ]] and Ice.

Malboros are slow to turn around. Use unlocked [[Warp Strike ]] to get behind them and try to attack between their tentacles to score a [[Link Strike]].

The Karlabos on the other hand is pretty resistant to physical attacks until you inflict a Break on it, but it's weak to [[Noctis]]' [[swords]].

You will be fighting Malboros, so using [[Ribbon ]] is a given. However, if you don't have it, you can have [[Ignis ]] cook [[Three-Mushroom Kebab ]] for you, which grants protection against most status ailments on top of raising your [[HP ]] by 800 and [[Strength ]] by 150. You can unlock this recipe by collecting or buying a [[Malmashroom]], which are located at [[Malmalam Thicket]], or can be bought at [[Prissock General Store ]] ([[Lestallum]]), or [[JM Market ]] ([[Old Lestallum]]). Just in case, pack some Remedies with you.

Make potent Ice spells, like [[Freeze ]] or multicast [[Blizzaga]]/ra[[Blizzra]].

I recommend focusing on Ignis' [[Overwhelm ]] and target a specific enemy for a quick kill. If you can, equip Tech Turbocharger to allow you to use it more often. I believe this will allow even a underlevelled party to complete this event.

Use Ignis' [[Enhancement ]] to buff Noctis' damage with Ice element, which will increase your damage output significantly in this fight, especially if you're using a good sword, like [[Ultima Blade]], [[Balmung ]] or [[Ragnarok]].

[[Prompto]]'s [[Gravisphere ]] and [[Gladio]]'s [[Impulse ]] can easily wipe the smaller enemies, so equip Gladio with Strength boosting [[accessories ]] and Prompto with [[Magic ]] boosting ones.

Don't forget [[Ring of Resistance ]] if you plan on using big AoE spells, like Freeze or Blizzaga. If you're farming the Event, the Lasagna you probabaly probably ate to boost your EXP gain also gives you immunity to [[Fire]], [[Lightning ]] and Ice, so you don't have to worry about friendly fire and use a different accessory.<noinclude>[[Category:Timed Quests]]</noinclude>
