Hey there, fellow Wanderers! If you‘re ready to take on one of Tower of Fantasy‘s most challenging open-world bosses, the Island Watch Raging Fire, then buckle up for an in-depth guide on how to locate and defeat this fearsome foe. As a seasoned tech geek and social expert in the ToF community, I‘ve compiled everything you need to know, from step-by-step navigation instructions to battle strategies and loot analysis. Let‘s dive in!
The Lore of Diurnal Islet
But first, a bit of background. The Island Watch Raging Fire resides within the mysterious Diurnal Islet, an artificial landmass created by a now-defunct research institute. According to scattered journal entries and data logs, this island served as a testing ground for controversial experiments blending human and animal DNA. Something went terribly awry, giving rise to mutated horrors like the Raging Fire.
Interestingly, the creature‘s name, "Island Watch," suggests it may have once served as a guardian of sorts. Perceptive players have drawn parallels to the corrupted A.I. Director of the Vera region, hinting at a deeper connection. Perhaps vanquishing the Raging Fire and exploring Diurnal Islet further will shed light on the overarching narrative.
Required Items and Location Coordinates
To even access Diurnal Islet, you must first obtain three Rapid Repair Devices, an Institute Key Card, and three Permission Cards. Here‘s a detailed breakdown:
Rapid Repair Devices:
- Near Broken Tooth Island (-820, -390): Activate fog-repelling firefly lights on three boats. Defeat the Elite Ravager and loot the chest that appears.
- South of Stranded Remains (-270, 830): Solve the rotating light puzzle on the boats within three moves. Consult the cipher on the rocky cliffs for the solution.
- East of Island of Pins (300, -1100): Activate the lights in clockwise order starting from the bow. Snag the repair device from the unlocked cabin.
Institute Key Card:
Farm Aberrants around the Artificial Island region, specifically Researcher Angry Aberrants. Focus on Deserted Water Treatment Plant, Stone Mountain, and Feiyun Mountain. The drop rate is approximately 2.5% according to data mined from the 2.4 update.
Permission Cards:
- Tyrone: Atop the mountain with giant twisted roots on South Gemini Island. Solve the electricity grid puzzle to unlock the card container.
- Morris: Defeat the Elite Frostfire Chimaera and its pack on Sea Horizon Stand‘s summit. The card lies beneath the central obelisk.
- Damien: North platform of Listen to Earwyn Island, guarded by a Frostfire Chimaera. Lure it away with bait (buyable from the island merchant) to safely retrieve the card.
Island Hopping 101
Now that you‘ve got your items, it‘s time to island hop!
Deserted Water Treatment Plant (825, -385): Use the Institute Key Card on the east transmission device to beam to North Gemini Island.
North Gemini Island: Go southeast to the portal leading to South Gemini Island. Ascend the root-riddled mountain, grab Permission Card Tyrone from the puzzle container.
South Gemini Island: Return to North Gemini Island through the blue warp gate. Scale the western peak, activate the transmission device with Permission Card Tyrone to reach Sea Horizon Stand.
Sea Horizon Stand: Battle the Elite Frostfire Chimaera and its minions atop the summit. Loot Permission Card Morris and a Gold Nucleus from the central obelisk.
Island of Pins: Warp to the main island, then head east to the transmission device. Permission Card Morris unlocks access to Listen to Earwyn Island.
Listen to Earwyn Island: Snag Permission Card Damien from the north platform (distract the Chimaera with bait first!). Don‘t forget the Gold Nucleus perched atop the mountain.
Diurnal Islet: With all three Permission Cards, activate the final transmission device. You‘ve made it!
Raging Fire Boss Battle Tips
Head south from the Diurnal Islet warp point to encounter the Island Watch Raging Fire and its cohort, Silver Helmet. This boss is no joke, with a recommended level of 65+ and a difficulty rating surpassing Robarg. Here‘s how to extinguish this flying menace:
Weapons and Elemental Weaknesses
The Raging Fire is vulnerable to grievous damage (1.5x effectiveness) and resistant to flame (0.8x). Equip one grievous and one flame weapon for optimal DPS. Some top picks:
| Grievous (1.5x) | Flame (0.8x) |
|---|---|
| Rosy Edge | Icewind Arrow |
| Molten Shield | Nightingale‘s Feather |
| Spark Knife | Prosperity |
Battle Tactics
- Bait out the boss‘s attacks, then strike during openings. Utilize dodge-canceling for faster animations.
- At 60% and 30% HP, the boss becomes enraged, dishing out more damage but revealing weak points. Unload your DPS during these moments!
- Dodge the flame breath and tail slams. Double jump over the shockwaves when it dives into the ground.
- Keep your health above 60% at all times. The boss‘s attacks can easily one-shot an unprepared wanderer.
Loot Table and Drop Rates
Defeating the Island Watch Raging Fire nets you two Red Nuclei and a chance at SSR equipment. According to aggregate data from the Chinese servers, the exclusive drops and their approximate rates are:
| Item | Drop Rate |
|---|---|
| Raging Fire Matrix I | 13% |
| Raging Fire Matrix II | 9% |
| Raging Fire Matrix III | 6% |
| Diurnal Islet Toy | 20% |
| Raging Fire Mount (SSR) | 0.8% |
Compared to other world bosses like Apophis or Sobek, the Raging Fire‘s loot table skews more towards cosmetics and collectibles rather than power progression.
Community Strategies and Challenges
Taking down the Island Watch Raging Fire is a true test of skill, but there‘s a thrill in triumphing alongside fellow wanderers. The official Tower of Fantasy Discord is abuzz with LFG requests for Diurnal Islet runs.
Some intrepid teams are even attempting duo or solo clears for the ultimate flex. Twitch streamer xXRagingGod420Xx currently holds the record for fastest solo kill at a blistering 2:19.
To ramp up the challenge (and rewards), a limited-time "Diurnal Demon" event dungeon featuring a supercharged Raging Fire will run from June 29 to July 15. Completion grants the exclusive "Diurnal Demon Slayer" title. There‘s also an achievement, "Firebreather," for finishing the boss with a flame attack. Talk about fighting fire with fire!
