Amongst their fellow metal monsters they typically have the highest HP, which usually means landing a critical hit is the only possible way to defeat one short of an obscene amount of good luck. Making matters worse is their ability to cast [[Dazzle]] to ensure that melee attackers never even get a chance to hit them, let alone defeat them. | ||

The heart of a platinum king jewel can also be obtained as a means of assuming that [[PlatKing (Class)|monster class]].

Platinum king jewels are found in high leveled grottoes. As usual, they give the most experience in the game, however, they're rarer and harder to kill than metal king slimes, so the latter is usually the most farmed. | Platinum king jewels are found in high leveled grottoes.
