This still works, I’ve been doing it all morning when I saw how to do it on another streamers video. What you do is you go into the quest that you want, and start with x3 stamina. If the cactuar is there, great, rinse, and repeat. If it’s not, Quit the fight when you get to the boss and drop your stamina usage to the normal amount. Go back into the same level and kill the boss, and then retry it at x3. Keep rinsing and repeating that method. If they don’t show up, it seems like that result is locked in until you defeat the boss. So you’ll only fight him using your normal Stamina, and you can triple your results with the cactus later.
I don't get it. What I did so far: Set stamina x3, got into a cactuar fight, finished the boss afterwards. What do I do now? Click the Repeat the x3 fight button?
@@DezorianGuy Yes. Click the x3 button after a successful cactuar run. If you click the x3, and you get to the boss and no cactuar has shown up, retire the fight and bring it down to regular stamina on the same level, beat it, then go back to x3 stamina to try again. Basically, every time you start a stage, start it at x3. If there’s no cactuar, restart with normal stamina and try again at x3 after you beat the boss to ‘reset’ the stage.
The easiest way to test how and when a seed gets reset is to find a cactuar, retire, and then do whatever you think is the trigger (close game, clear another quest, etc), and then reload the cactuar fight to see if it's there again. You did it the hard way lol
i cant do this man, too much time, props for you doing this tho man, really cool of you. game is barely beginning we are gonna get a lot of stuff later
Those funni little Cactuar dudes, they've even gained the power to troll players with how to farm them thanks for taking the time figuring all of this out with trial-and-error
Hi i just started playing, from s.e.a server, after watching your video so i try my own method. Here my own method. Cactuar usually appear after 5 to 6 battle after the last cactuar appear. (Sometime 2) so i play the training with 0 stamina use 5 times, then i go for the one that i want to farm. ( between the 5 times 0 stamina, cactuar must not spawn. If spawn, recount 5 battle again.) After 1 to 2 battle using stamina, cactuar will spawn. Sometime if lucky, it spawn immediately. If unlcky, maybe after 3 battle.
they are 3 clases of cactuar 1st is a normal cartuar it give bonus to all drops and exp 2nd is a metal cartuar it give bonus to all drops but it got a better bonus to exp over a normal or gold cartuar 3rd is the gold cartuar it give bonus to all drops but it give the best bonus any coins drops so gil co-op coins
Not sure if I did it wrong but I just did a boss fight now and only runs 1 and 3 gave rare rewards, the 2nd didn't. I went to details to check and made a very short video in case people thought I was mistaken.
Does this mean the same principle applies to when you accidentally allow a cactuar to flee, will you be able to exit the battle by the boss wave or before and retry to get the cactuar ?
But with this method if you check 20 times you are already wasting a single drop. The idea is to do this less than 60 times to see if a Cactuar spawns on a times three attempt after doing the first 20 stamina clear?
Hey dude, awesome videos, you seem to be the most consistent content creator for EC. One question, i saw u are using Bluestacks, I try it too, making an instance of 64, but mine is sooo slow... could you make a video on how u did the instance and the full setup? My phone would appreciate it a lot :P
Ive been trying to tell people 1 by 1 runs are better. Ive had 3 cactuar spawns back to back same stage. Its just rng you guys are chasing your tail. The boost pass is a trap.
ngl man i don't understand about this whole vid, even after watching the whole vid XD appreciate the effort tho, and ofc i wish that we can consistantly farm cactuar, it is precious in every FF games
Seems like if you missed out on the cactur spam resets you could have a long grind to level units since the developers patched it and seems like they will keep patching any loop holes to leveling. That could deter people because grinding in this game the normal way is tedious lol
My god. 2000 stamina later and not a single cactar. PAINFUL. I’m not sure if this is patched or if missions with rare resources make the cactar more rare. I’m about to give up this method because it does not work.
I kinda dont understand the loop, after defeating the boss with normal stam and go to triple stam, you need keep to quitting until they appear or defeat the boss with the normal stam again ?
Go in with x3 if it's a cactuar clear the quest. If not back out and do a clear at x1. Then go back in with x3 to check for cactuar, again if cactuar clear if not back out and clear x1. Just keep repeating that. The idea is you have to beat the level to spawn a cactuar and you check with x3 after every clear.
He woke up after probably getting no sleep thinking how to tackle this issue (for us). He took his kids to school and came back home doing trials (for us). He spent hours of thinking and testing so that you and I won't have to waste our time, resources and sanity. All *you* have to do as a viewer is sit back and skip through the segments if it's "too long" to watch
A “seed” is gamer speak for a pregenerated set of outcomes that vary with time. For example, when you make the selection to start a quest in the game, a “seed” is loaded that determines whether or not a cactuar will be present in any of the not-boss waves. If you were to theoretically start the quest slightly later, a different seed would be loaded, possibly one with a cactuar spawn.
If you just want the method and not the journey
Then skip to @12:15 in the video.
It's not about the journey. It's about the friends we make along the way.

This works
This was said in the video tho but yes, this is basically what works right now
That didn’t work
I don't get it. What I did so far:
Set stamina x3, got into a cactuar fight, finished the boss afterwards. What do I do now? Click the Repeat the x3 fight button?
@@DezorianGuy Yes. Click the x3 button after a successful cactuar run.

Thank you for all the testing you did! Such dedication for us! ❤ (The random follow at the end 🤣)
The trick of going in with the 20 stam after trying with a x3 really did worked for me, i got to uncapped a weapon today because of that tip.
Legend says, if you do a cactuar dance irl before entering the dungeon it increases the chances 😮
Great video as always octo!
Thank you for your sacrifice of stamina items to learn this new method and to help us farm better.
Will we ever see the mythical flower cactuar? Tune in on the next episode of Ever Crisis Z
My boy doesn't simp for the Tifa cosmetics.. respects.
I have no regrets pulling purely for the cosmetic
Did know you were a father much respect & thanks for all the content

Like the exceptionally hard way haha 😂

Man’s really doing the lords work helping us 🙏 thanks Octo!
Those funni little Cactuar dudes, they've even gained the power to troll players with how to farm them thanks for taking the time figuring all of this out with trial-and-error
Subscribed for this.
Not trying yet but i think this useful and many more gonna explore it after this
you are a legend. thanks for the great content

Your new method worked for me, got triple cactuars
Not sure if I did it wrong but I just did a boss fight now and only runs 1 and 3 gave rare rewards, the 2nd didn't. I went to details to check and made a very short video in case people thought I was mistaken.
Impressive dedication to testing.

this is helpful for farming thank you octo
Oh its worth to mention, The cactuar can spawn on Wave 3. I just hit it. Great Video though. Is there a guide on what exactly each Cactuar does?
So THAT'S what the 1.08 patch did.
But with this method if you check 20 times you are already wasting a single drop. The idea is to do this less than 60 times to see if a Cactuar spawns on a times three attempt after doing the first 20 stamina clear?

Something I found weird. I got a golden cactuar and retired with 3x boosts. But it dissapeared. Don't know what reseted the seed.
Ive been trying to tell people 1 by 1 runs are better. Ive had 3 cactuar spawns back to back same stage. Its just rng you guys are chasing your tail. The boost pass is a trap.
Agreed
The cactaur's eyes in thumbnail 😆🤣
Imma be honest I have so many Stam refills I just go to 300-500 Stam per farm stage and cactar metal cactar and gold cactar just be rolling in
does finishing a low energy quest reset the seed? or you have to do the quest you want to reset?
I never notice , you’ll lose stamina , when I retreat/ retry .
Yea but only 1 stamina which isn't bad.
ngl man i don't understand about this whole vid, even after watching the whole vid XD
appreciate the effort tho, and ofc i wish that we can consistantly farm cactuar, it is precious in every FF games
Seems like if you missed out on the cactur spam resets you could have a long grind to level units since the developers patched it and seems like they will keep patching any loop holes to leveling. That could deter people because grinding in this game the normal way is tedious lol
Tinfoil Octo: cactuars are real.😂
are you finished with those errands AKA farming cactuars ;p
How to farm gil? 😭
i was just spamming character exp fight while watching this vid and in one of the retries a trio of metal cactuars spawned lol
Does anyone know if this is still working? I haven't seemed to be able to get this to work very well of late.
Why no mention bout the rare enemy buff? I keep getting rares 7/10 times for hrs XD
So the tldr is run mission on x3 nd it cactuar doesn't spawn retire complete on x1?
Yea and then check with x3 again, rinse and repeat.
@@SmellyOctopus Awesome, thanks for doing the leg work
Is this worth doing with boost pass tho?
My god. 2000 stamina later and not a single cactar. PAINFUL. I’m not sure if this is patched or if missions with rare resources make the cactar more rare. I’m about to give up this method because it does not work.
im doing a 60k mission its definitely not patched, getting a cactuar atleast 1/6 runs
I kinda dont understand the loop, after defeating the boss with normal stam and go to triple stam, you need keep to quitting until they appear or defeat the boss with the normal stam again ?
Go in with x3 if it's a cactuar clear the quest. If not back out and do a clear at x1. Then go back in with x3 to check for cactuar, again if cactuar clear if not back out and clear x1.
Just keep repeating that. The idea is you have to beat the level to spawn a cactuar and you check with x3 after every clear.
@@SmellyOctopus got it, thanks man
This method isn’t working on the EXP Quests
What does the cactuar give?
So far I have appear about 30 percent of all the quest I do
i’m surprised I saw the metal cactus
pretty sure they patched it . . even with the 'rate up' it still feels VERY RARE
Cactuars are appearing randomly to me. Maybe its just a RNG.
Thanks, man. For allthis try and error and trying to fugure it out. You deserve to rest now.
Got 3 cactuars but they killed me lol
ahahah dammit those gangsters
"How to burn yourself out in less than a week" :P
Theres no method, you just need luck 😂
Cracktuars! lol That's right, we need to farm those little jerks! Thanks for the guide
Gotta feel that cactuar is being such a "prick" to you 😂
We dang happy I saw this before hammering out my stamina. They must patched it 🤣
Cactar is random encounter get lucky or suffer lol.
Smart!
And then they give a bonus cactuar campaign. 😂
LOL!! That thumbnail.
If only future octo knew lol
stares
poyo
Hey man I respect your tips but I think this vid could be a lot shorter lol. The method you found could've been explained in like 5 mins.
It's more info for the community to try to figure out from what I learned to see if we can find a better way then the end results.

They just released cactuar event, so sadly your video is pointless now haha.
At least we can now farm infinitely with the zero stamina quest.
Not really. Just makes the farming more easier since they show up more often.
This method actually sucks
What do you mean by "seed"?
A “seed” is gamer speak for a pregenerated set of outcomes that vary with time. For example, when you make the selection to start a quest in the game, a “seed” is loaded that determines whether or not a cactuar will be present in any of the not-boss waves. If you were to theoretically start the quest slightly later, a different seed would be loaded, possibly one with a cactuar spawn.
Thanks a lot for all the efforts and time you spent to deliver this informative video.
We appreciate you🤍
