[h3]How to Defeat Innocence Mk XII[/h3]



① Before you can defeat Innocence Mk XII, you’ll first need to use the MOD Oog Mk III/VIII Transformation Scroll or MOD Mago Mk V Transformation Scroll and interact (R) with the summoned unit to control it.

- The Transformation Scroll’s summons have a skill that can be used to attack the Innocence Mk XIII.






▲ (First picture) Attacking! / (Second picture) Rock Skill!



② After transforming, use LMB/RMB to attack the Innocence Mk XII.
- You cannot attack the boss with a normal character’s skills.
- The Innocence Mk XII’s attacks will still hurt normal characters and mounts, so watch out!



③ The Innocence Mk XII will randomly deploy one of three attack patterns.
- If you successfully disrupt the Innocence Mk XII, the boss will lose power and fall down. (This is your time to attack!)
- If you fail to disrupt the Innocence Mk XII, the boss will unleash a merciless, large-scale skill. (Transformations will automatically end if you run out of stamina from taking damage, but you can still obtain loot as a normal character, so don’t worry!)

Pattern One - Rock, Paper, Scissors

In the Rock, Paper, Scissors attack pattern, the message “Warning. Warning.” will appear and the Innocence Mk XII will begin to prepare for Rock, Paper, Scissors. You’ll need to match the timing and use your transformed unit’s Rock, Paper, Scissors skill to beat the Innocence Mk XII!

[Majority of the Adventurers on the Server Beat the Innocence Mk XII at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: Disruption successful! The Innocence Mk XII will lose power and fall down.

[Majority of the Adventurers on the Server Lose to the Innocence Mk XII at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: Disruption unsuccessful! The Innocence Mk XII will use a devastating large-scale skill.

Pattern Two – Innocence Mk XI

In this attack pattern, the Innocence Mk XII will summon eight Innocence Mk XI to help it. In order to successfully disrupt the event boss, you’ll need to get close to an Innocence Mk XI and beat it in the Rock, Paper, Scissors.


[Beat the Innocence Mk XI at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: The Innocence Mk XI can now be defeated.

[Draw or Lose to the Innocence Mk XI at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: You’ll be attacked by the Innocence Mk XI.


If several Adventurers challenge the Innocence Mk XI at rock, paper, scissors, victory will only be decided if a majority of Adventurers win. Watch out if the majority loses or draws as the boss will unleash an attack!


The end goal is to defeat at least six of the eight Innocence MK XI!
[Defeat Six or More Innocence Mk XI]: Disruption successful! The Innocence Mk XII will lose power and fall down.

[Fail to Defeat Six or More Innocence Mk XI] Disruption unsuccessful! The Innocence Mk XII will use a devastating large-scale skill.

Pattern Three - Three-way Rock, Paper, or Scissors

In the third attack pattern, three different colors will indicate areas as either rock, paper, or scissors.


You’ll need to move to the area that you can beat with your transformation scroll’s skills and use the right skill (Q/E) to win. Keep in mind that the skills each transformation scroll has are different, so pay close attention to which area is which!

[Win at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: Disruption successful! You’ll be attacked and healed at the same time, so you won’t receive damage.

[Lose at Rock, Paper, Scissors] Disruption unsuccessful! You’ll be attacked and receive damage.

② Defeat the Innocence Mk 12 for a chance to obtain the following loot.

* The [Event] Innocence Mk XII Part can be sold to NPC Vendors for 100,000 silver.

③ Bring the [Event] Innocence Mk XII Parts to the NPC Lylina in Calpheon to exchange them for the following interior items.
