Tips To Easily Complete Kut-Ku Gone Cuckoo Event Quest
The Kut-Ku Gone Cuckoo is a fairly standardYian Kut-Kuhunting quest. You can choose to either slay or capture the monster to complete the quest and reap the rewards. Yian Kut-Ku isn’t a particularly challenging monster. However, if you’re still using aLow Rankbuild, you might find the monster a tad bit difficult to deal with. The best way to tackle Yian Kut-Ku is with aHigh Rankset and weapon. If you’re in the early stages of High Rank, we recommend sitting the Event quests out for a bit and completing the High Rank main campaign. Doing so will open up the entire suite of build options for you to use in the Event quests.
However, if you want to complete the Event quest as soon as you hit High Rank, you may still do so. We highly recommend using weapons with theParalysisStatus Effect since it’s one of the major weaknesses of Yian Kut-Ku. You can easily farm High RankLala Barinato get the necessary parts for a good High Rank Paralysis weapon of your choice. Furthermore, it’s also highly recommended to craft theHope setas soon as you reach HR. For the early sections of High Rank, the Hope set offers decent enough stats.
Additionally, it also comes withDivine Blessingskill, which will come in incredibly handy against Yian Kut-Ku. You can also summon theSupport Huntersor other online players for the Event quest. However, do note that using the SOS feature to call other players for support will result in reduced Zenny payout upon quest completion.
