Veldt Trick - how to get a specific encounter

Introduction

If you are trying to find specific monsters for any reason on the Veldt, this will help you farm them out much faster. (If you are trying to find specific rages, loot ETC.) This is a trick I found specific to the PR version that has saved me tons of time already. I do not plan to post all of the possible groups in this guide as they are located in other guides.

Here is a link to another steam guide (that I often use) if needed: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=583222214

The Gau Bible by Bamethyst38 - great guide. you are looking for the Mechanics - Veldt Battle Formations pages.

The Trick

If you know what group the encounter you are looking for is in, you can now fight until you are in the previous group, save your game, attempt a fight, if it isn't the one you want you can load to title and try again in the same group! (this is a big deal as it wasn't possible in previous additions and this greatly speeds up rage farming). If you have farmed rages before this is probably enough information for you so have fun! If not, I will explain further.

How It Works

Without going into the specifics (there are other guides for that) the monsters you can find in the Veldt are based on a couple of things:

Monsters you have faced before

Groups of possible encounters

A random selection in each group in order

To elaborate, you have to have run into the monster outside of the Veldt to find it here. I honestly keep a running check list when I play to make sure I don't miss any of them.

Next, when you load up your game and start walking around the Veldt you will fight a random encounter in a random group. You can look up this encounter to find what group it is. (Again other guides do this well, I am just explaining the trick that is possible in the PR version). Once you know your group you can track along. Example:

Let's say you really want to fight a Satellite for the rage or the hat it drops.

You load up the game and walk around the veldt until you find a fight and it is with 2 Zagrem

You look it up and see that this is in group 5 and Satellite is in group 8

You kill them and you will now fight a random fight from group 6 and the same for 7.

After your fight with group seven you will get a random encounter from group 8 and hope this is a satellite.

In previous additions, your seed or what you face got locked in early so you couldn't really reset it before the group, you could do somethings to try to speed it up or try for a different group hopefully closer to the one you want but in this version, you can save right before the group you want, fight a single battle, see if it is the one you want, otherwise go to configuration then return to title and try again! The seed for the next group resets without resetting your current group!
