If you want to level up your weapons early in Queen’s Domain, this grinding method gives you a repeatable way to fight Occultist Josami Templar near a save point. It can be monotonous, but it is useful when you want to improve your weapons before progressing further.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through reaching the grinding spot in the Isles of Neasied, positioning the enemy, and repeating the fight to level up your weapons.
You’ll need a suitable weapon for reaching the area and a little patience. Follow the steps below to set up the farming spot.
Prerequisites
Before heading to the grinding location, make sure you have:
- Area: Isles of Neasied
- Recommended weapon: Holy Sword of Endu
- Alternative weapons: Rusted Short Sword or Pandora Blade, if you are comfortable with trick jumping
- Ability: Wing Dash
The Holy Sword of Endu is the recommended option for reaching the spot. The Rusted Short Sword and Pandora Blade can also work if you can manage the required jumps.
Step 1: Reach the Grinding Spot
1. Start from the first save point
From the very first save point, turn around and head toward the gap. Use Wing Dash to jump across it.
2. Reach the Ratty Bug statue
Head up to the treasure chest, then turn right. Use Wing Dash to reach the plateau with the Ratty Bug statue.
3. Unlock the elevator shortcut
Unlock the elevator shortcut, then take the left path and head toward the cave above.
4. Open the hidden door
Find the skeleton pointing toward the hidden door and open it.
5. Reach the nearby save point
Enter the dark pathway and jump over the gap. Ignore the enemy for now and sprint to the save point.
Rest and save your progress before starting the weapon-grinding loop.
Step 2: Level Up Your Weapons
1. Lure Occultist Josami Templar into position
Exit the save room and lure Occultist Josami Templar toward the right pillar with the glowing fungus.
Position the enemy between the pillar and the glowing fungus. If you lure it correctly, it will become stuck in that space, making it easier to attack safely.
2. Attack between the enemy’s attacks
Equip the weapon or weapons you want to level up. Attack Occultist Josami Templar between its attacks.
According to this method, all damage types deal Normal damage to Occultist Josami Templar, so you do not need to choose a specific damage type.
3. Repeat the farming loop
When the enemy is low on health, you have two options:
- Defeat it: Kill the enemy to gain weapon experience.
- Keep it alive: Leave it alive and return to the save room to Rest and Save.
Repeat the process until your weapons reach the level you want.
Weapon Grinding Tips
- Save before beginning the grinding loop so you can restart from the nearby save point.
- Make sure the enemy is properly trapped before attacking.
- Attack between the enemy’s attacks rather than rushing in recklessly.
- If you defeat the enemy, return to the save point and repeat the route as needed.
- Be prepared for a repetitive process; this method relies on repeating the same encounter.
