Liquid metal slime: Difference between revisions

In terms of appearance, liquid metal slimes are essentially identical to bubble slimes, but are a slick silver in color and shine indicative of the [[Metal slime family|metal slime family]]. This is rumored to the little globs being made out of the precious [[Orichalcum]] metal, but this has never been affirmed.

Liquid metal slimes have the standard qualities of metal monsters: high agility, high defense, immunity to essentially all forms of magic and skills, very low {{HP}}, very high experience payout, and the unfavorable habit of running away from battle frequently. Although a step up from the metal slime, the liquid metal slime is rarely shown to be competent at fighting, its only enhancements being its HP and the experience it gives when compared to metal slimes. Due to being encountered (comparatively) more frequently than metal king slimes and only having marginally higher HP but approximately ten times as many experience points than metal slimes, the liquid metal slime is the most popular choice amongst power leveling adventurers.

A popular strategy for vanquishing the L.M.S. is to have a [[Mage]] cast [[Puff!]] and then a [[Priest]] casting [[Accelerate]] on the first turn of the encounter, incinerating them automatically on the next turn. For [[Warrior]]s, the [[Spiked armour]] is handy to punish them for attacking directly and having a [[Falcon blade]] will give them twice as many chances to attack. The [[Headsman's axe]] has a 1/8th chance to land a critical hit, but also a 1/8th chance to miss altogether on top of the monster's doge rate. A [[Martial artist]] of a reasonably high level will have a great critical hit rate to rely upon as well, with the calculation being level/256 with a cap of 25% at level 64.

Liquid Metal Slimes are commonly found in the [[Royal Crypt]] southwest of [[Endor]] by sea. They can occasionally drop Happy hats or {{Torneko}} can steal one at random. It is best to use the [[Sands of time]] item as they can run away and it may take many tries before Torneko successfully steals a happy hat at random.

The Liquid metal slime can be found in the [[Den of the Dwarves]] in the past, the [[The Beacon]] in the past and present, the [[Excavated Cave]], the [[Malign Shrine]], the [[Wilted Heart]] region in Disc 2, the [[Gröndal]] region in Disc 2 and the [[Nottagen]] region in Disc 2. It is also one of the forms that the [[Mega egger]] can become when hatched.

Liquid metal slimes can first be encountered in Trodain Castle, though their appearances there are very rare and only indicated by the [[hunter mech]]s in the area.  They also appear in most places accessible only by flight, most commonly at nighttime. In particular, the island behind [[Maella Abby]] is a frequent haunt and an excellent place for power leveling.

They can be found in [[The Bowhole]], rarely at the cliff at Angel's falls, and in some Grottoes.
