58. Hidden Summons (Optional)

Here I only list the best locations for farming these summons. Most people give up because it takes so long that's why, again, catching up some episodes on Netflix is the best time to farm them.

Hidden summons are way harder to farm than tails, especially the Bomb summon since you cannot use Siren to encounter Balloon nor Dark Grenade.I recommend farming Cocketrice first at Baron area. with Siren, there is a 25% chance to encounter Helldiver and another 25% to encounter Goblin, so you either get Cocketrice or Goblin summon for a 50% encounter chance in total. If you get Cocketrice first, it's great, you can then farm Goblin in Mist cave for 100% chance of Goblin encounter. Other people suggest that you farm Cocketrice in Mysidia area but remember that the drop item is also random among monsters. For instance, in Mysidia area:

50% chance encountering Cocketrice (with other monster) -> chances of item drop divided by 2 or 3 if there are other types of monsters => 50% or 33% respectively of items drop by Cocketrice => 0.4% chance of Cocketrice drop (0.8% with Treasure Hunter). 

The drop rate for for these summon is roughly 0.4% according to Action's Walkthrough.

Here is my Hidden Summon farming records:

  • Cocketrice: ~2-3 hours
  • Goblin: ~30 minutes
  • Mindflayer: ~1-2 hours
  • Bomb: ~14 hours
