| Conegamer said: Hmm...it's a possibility that you've already killed it in normal exploration. Sometimes, the UM's respawn like there's no tomorrow, and others don't. If you killed it and NOW need to do it for a quest, then you're in trouble I fear. The game does respawn all UM's, aside from quest-specific ones, randomly when you load in the game. I think there's a 10% chance this will happen. I'd try turning it off and relaoding it if it's a named quest for a named NPC, if not, leave it for a while and come back to it late-game. Odds are it'll be back then. |
If you know where the UM is and you are in the correct location and weather, you just need to save once, and then reload the save until the UM appears. BTW, you can do the same with treasure chests if they don't have what you want. Every chest from UM starting with the mountains (or above lvl 50 I think) have 4 different Arts, some that can be had by only one UM. Same for armors. You actually can't get all the best armors with one playthrough, you need at least 3, but you can get all the max Arts in one playthrough.
You needn't turn off the console to reload your save. Everytime you load from a save, all the normal enemies respawn, and the UM have a chance of respawning (if the weather conditions are correct). For example, most flying monsters don't appear when it rains (and some appear only when it rains).
Makes me think of the collectible : the rarest ones appear only at night, and night being more dangerous and lasting less than day, they are more difficult to find. They usually appear in secret areas.
Where you are though, look for the map and be careful of the shape of the area where the monster is. If there's a hole in the middle, there's a high chance the monster you're searching is actually BELOW, and you have to fall through the hole in the middle to reach the area. There are three areas like that IIRC.
