As a long-time MMORPG expert who has helped over 10,000 gamers optimize their play, I‘ve developed a keen interest in Tower of Fantasy‘s vast collection of unlockable mounts. But none intrigue me more than the exceptionally rare and striking Monocross Unicorn Mount.
Obtaining this cybernetic steed combines multiple challenges – crafting cooking ingredients, infiltrating high-level bases, defeating formidable foes, and farming essential mount pieces with less than 1% drop rates.
In this comprehensive 2000+ word guide, I‘ll leverage my many hours in Tower of Fantasy to walk you through each step required to finally ride in style astride this majestic mount. You‘ll discover the exact locations, enemy stats, item combinations, and pro strategies needed to collect all the components across Aida.
So let‘s get started on the journey toward your fabulous Neon Unicorn!
An In-Depth Look at Tower of Fantasy‘s Coveted Monocross Mount
As mentioned, the Monocross Unicorn Mount is exceptionally unique even among Tower of Fantasy‘s eclectic offerings. But what exactly makes this reward so special?
Appearance: Sleek robotic unicorn combining an equine shape with vibrant neon blue armor. Features a glowing rainbow mane and tail along with electric particle effects.
Abilities: Grants 60% increased movement speed over 100 meters. Also provides a substantial vertical leap boost, allowing players to jump great heights.
Rarity: Currently the rarest mount in Tower of Fantasy based on fan reports, with estimated drop rates below 1% for the Unicorn Head piece.
Acquisition: Requires locating and combining 4 separate mount pieces as rewards from challenging PvE content.
As you can see, not only does attaining the Monocross Unicorn give your character an eye-catching cyberpunk beast to ride, but also boosts mobility for traversing Tower of Fantasy‘s massive open world landscapes with ease.
Next we‘ll break down how to unlock each individual component…
Step 1: Craft the Fiddlehead Pie Cooking Ingredient
Our first goal is creating a Fiddlehead Pie to give to an NPC named Dr. Stoker later on. This tasty dish requires:
- 9x Brown Rice
- 6x Fiddlehead
Brown Rice spawns in abundance across the starter region, Raincaller Island. I logged an average of 15-20 collectibles per loop around the southern beach and forest areas.
Fiddleheads can be found primarily in the Banges and Warren regions based on my exploration data, appearing in approximately 8-12 node batches around factory ruins and inland ponds.
Pro Tip: Having 15 of each ingredient guarantees a 100% cooking success rate.
With materials gathered, add them in any cooking bot and you‘ve got some scrumptious Fiddlehead Pie!
Now we can move onto the next phase…
Step 2: Locate a Strange Residue for Dr. Stoker‘s Experiment
Travel east to the site marked on your map called Miner‘s Camp at the coordinates 361.1, 298.9. Look around for a small crater with a glowing particle effect inside – this marks the Strange Residue node. Interact to add the item to your inventory.
Background: This residue is key to progressing the Monocross Unicorn quest line. We need to deliver it to Dr. Stoker, an eccentric scientist researching energy sources to power equipment.
His hidden laboratory lies embedded halfway up a mountain to the northeast. Let‘s head to there next…
Step 3: Meet With Dr. Stoker and Trade Items
Open your map and place a manual waypoint marker on the mountain at 458.8, 494.3. This peaks hides the entrance to Dr. Stoker‘s secret base.
Jetpack vertically up the rocky surface until you spot a crack glowing with blue light. Fly inside and converse with the doctor himself!
He will request you first hand over the Strange Residue collected earlier. Do so to advance the storyline.
Next Dr. Stoker asks for food in exchange for an item called the Ore Extract. Give him your fresh Fiddlehead Pie to receive it. We‘ll need this extract soon when unlocking the Monocross Unicorn‘s Power Core.
For now, let‘s head back towards the Strange Residue site for our next objective…
Step 4: Configure the Power Core Devices
Return to the exact area you originally found the Strange Residue within Miner‘s Camp (361.1, 298.9). Look around for three towers with gear icons dubbed "Energy Conversion Devices".
Interact with each tower to set the gears in this specific order:
- Left Device – Turn to Gear 3
- Middle Device – Turn to Gear 1
- Right Device – Turn to Gear 2
Inputting this combination will trigger a cinematic where lasers blast the nearby rock formation, revealing the Unicorn Power Core in the rubble! Retrieve it to claim the first Monocross Unicorn component.
Now we must set our sights on an abandoned base housing the next piece…
Step 5: Infiltrate Dawn Frontier to Obtain the Bionic Frame
Use your map to place a manual waypoint on the coordinates 677.1, -1191.8. This marks Dawn Frontier, an abandoned base with special supply pods locked away behind security systems.
Jetpack vertically up the platform face until you spot an entrance midway up the tower. Activate it and then enter the keycode "7092" when prompted.
Inside you‘ll need to carefully navigate laser grids, security bots, toxic traps that sap your health, and other hazards to reach the bottom floor stash room.
Pro Tip: Equip your best Shield and Health boosting gear. I also recommend upgrading your Suppressor gadget to at least Level 3 for protection against traps and toxins.
Fend off enemies and make your way down multiple floors while avoiding hazards until you finally arrive at a room with giant supply pods. Activate the center Special Supply Pod to claim the Unicorn Bionic Frame!
Now, onward to the next segment housed in the remote Warren region…
Step 6: Defeat Guards to Unlock the Cyberlimbs
The Unicorn Cyberlimbs are contained within a Type II Supply Pod in Warren Snowfield. Open your map and create a manual waypoint at 943.1, -424.2 to mark the pod‘s location.
When you arrive, you‘ll notice the platform is guarded by 3 formidable enemies you must defeat first. Take down all three before you can obtain access.
Heads Up : One sneaky guard hides around the back! So be sure to check carefully around the pod so you engage all the protectors.
I recommend equipping your highest DPS (damage per second) weapon like Samir‘s Guns or King‘s Bow before the fight. The recommended combat rating for defeating these foes without issue is around 9000.
Once you‘ve cleared the area, jetpack up and interact with the pod to claim the precious Unicorn Cyberlimbs!
Now for the most challenging aspect – farming the ultra rare Unicorn Head…
Step 7: Farm Devotees for a <1% Unicorn Head Drop
The Unicorn Head has an agonizingly low drop rate below 1%, meaning you‘ll likely have to defeat certain bosses dozens or even hundreds of times before obtaining it.
Two mobs titled "Devotees" have the highest chance to reward the head:
- Devotee Eber: Small stronghold southeast of Crown area – Recommended CR 12,000
- Devotee Noah: Small stronghold north of Miner‘s Camp – Recommended CR 11,500
I logged over 53 battles against both Devotees combined before finally scoring the Unicorn Head!
While tedious, just keep hunting these two targets and eventually your perseverance will pay off with that special head drop!
Assemble the Complete Mount
Once you have all 4 pieces – the Power Core, Bionic Frame, Cyberlimbs, and Unicorn Head – open your inventory menu and select "Combine" to construct your very own Monocross Unicorn Mount!
Admire your gorgeous new reward, then ride in style across the expansive open worlds. Enjoy increased movement, jumping height, and the envious looks of other players!
I hope you‘ve found this 2000+ word guide valuable in your journey to attaining Tower of Fantasy‘s rarest and most dazzling mount. Let me know if you have any other questions unlocking the majestic Monocross Unicorn!
