Details
The battle takes place on a "Field with unusable items", where certain items cannot be used.
Depending on the boss monster's status ailment(Frostbite) stacks, the damage it takes increases.

You can break it with 2H Spear skills.
Skill Breaks can be performed with skills that are both Thrust Element and Holy Element.
By performing a break or skill break, the boss will receive a stack debuff that increases damage.

In the Character Quest and Labyrinth, at the beginning of battle, it grants a "Critical resistance" buff.

Rare "Machina Integral Series" transformation and production materials are now available!
Transform "Machina Integral Series" to make it even stronger!

Transforming Machina Integral Series Equipment
STEP1
Produce "Stone+++" transformation materials at the workshop.
To produce Stone+++, you will need the extremely rare Core Metal+++ and Stone+ materials that drop from the All Out Battle and All Out Battle .

* Each "Stone+++" is associated with a different weapon type.
Example: For 1H Swords or Daggers, you will need to produce Slicing Stone+++ using Core Metal+++ and Slicing Stone+.

STEP2
Transform "Machina Integral Series" equipment at the blacksmith using "Stone+++" and "Extreme Wyrm Armament Stone".

STEP3
Transformation materials from a future floor update will allow you to transform Machina Integral Series equipment even further!
We hope you look forward to it!
