Rarefied monster: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

A '''rarefied monster''' is a type of monster introduced in {{Dragon Quest X}}. They are unusual looking pallet swaps of monsters that cannot be found on the overworld, instead only appearing alongside their more common variants. A monster becomes rarefied under different circumstances related to its species, but each one is immensely more powerful than its peers and can spell disaster for an unprepared party.

There is no accolade for finding and defeating all rarefied monsters, and there are no malicious or vicious versions of these monsters. Equipping the [[Circle of Serendipity]] or [[Wings of Serendipity]] will increase the odds of encountering rarefied monsters by 3% and 8% respectively, which replace the default encounter rate of 1/256. The former is the reward for turning in 75 [[Mini medal]]s at [[L'Académie de Notre Maitre des Médailles]] and the latter is the prize for completing the hard version of the black cup at the [[Gallopolis]] sand national race.

There is no accolade for finding and defeating all rarefied monsters, and there are no malicious or vicious versions of these monsters, however rarefied monsters can be found accompanying the malicious or vicious variants of their base monsters, so they are not permanently missable.
