Section 1: What is Shadow Cygnus ?
Shadow Cygnus is the 'boss' of Evolving World, which you can summon upon reaching the criteria met.

If you wish to find out more information on Evolving world, feel free to refer to this nice guide by prinnygame and moudikmage at http://forums.playpa...ame-moudikmage/
This guide will only focus on the part regarding Shadow Cygnus.
Section 2: What do I get from fighting Shadow Cygnus ?
The mose significant drops from Shadow Cygnus are the Cygnus Shoulder pads, which is the 7th item from the Cygnus set.


Other than that, it is also quite fun to gather you friends to fight Cygnus and turn into pigs, getting wrap in tornado, or die together.
Easier? Hmm...
I'm pretty sure my friend was laughing all along when I got CONSTANTLY pig/tornado-ed by her.![<_<]()

Thanks to your zero base status resist. That's all I can say. Can I laugh too?

^ See, so fun

And best part is everyone has a fair chance to fight her, there is no VIP, timetable, or anything, you just have to hunt 600 coins.
Section 3: How to attempt Shadow Cygnus ?
Requirement: link 9 unlocked, farm 600 evol coins -> but Shadow monster core
Coin rate estimation (by lumin) :
(ideal) use 100% increase monster spawn core , 1.3% drop core ~ gets around 50 coins/run
(normal) use 30% increase monster spawn core , 1.1% drop core ~ gets around 30 coins/run
More details will be added in this section
It is confirm that the Core "Shadow monster" can be obtained via hunting too
Section 4: Key Points in Fighting Shadow Cygnus
HP of Shadow Cygnus
The HP of Shadow Cygnus is 31.5 Billion (Okay, I am not too far off


One good thing is that she does not have physical resist.
Spoiler
The attacks from Cygnus
Cygnus attack is weak (tornado 3k dmg, bird fire 10k)
no seduce, no pot lock, only potential cancel and pig(quite irritating)

Special note: You cannot use wheel inside evo world (this make my 1st run fails), so bringing in a BSP is very valuable
Section 5: Q & A
Q: Is it easy to get shoulder pad ?
A: Definitely not !!!!! It drops nothing when I use lucky + 1.25 drop cpre + twin coupon
Refer to next post for the consolidation info in the drops by various teams.
Q:
Eh, you mean there are no KOC instructors, but just herself? 0.o
Potion lock didn't exist either. You mean potion CD?
Well. I thought her reflect was about that damage pre-unlimited?
Either bring someone who can "revive"/prevent you from death or just try to be super careful. I like the part about not needing wheels though. lol. I hate using wheels.
Wait. Does her reflect affect people who don't even attack her just like last time? My bs' deaths were 90% caused by some ignorant attackers hitting her during reflect last time. Made me so angry![:py44:]()
You didn't answer maximum number of people allowed into the run.

A:
1. She doesn't spam summoning mob like what she does in 'real life'
![/heh]()
2. No, her damage reflect doesn't affect other people iirc.
3. Maximum number of people... should be 6.
4. Wheel is useless inside but Soul Stone isn't![:lol:]()
5. Her reflect isn't random.
6. The normal mobs in Link 9 will stun you if you don't clear them fast enough.

Here's a pic of the one in aquila taken on Sunday night
From my conversation with her it seems that she took 3 6man runs to obtain one shoulder pad, not sure what kind of drop buffs she used though.
