In Episode 16 of "Shangri-La Frontier," the characters face a carefully planned challenge to defeat Wethermon the Tomb Guardian, a unique and terrifying monster. In this episode, Pencil Knight proposes an ambitious plan to take down Wethermon with a trio consisting of Pencil Knight, Sunraku, and Katzo Tataki. They speculate that Wethermon can only be defeated by surviving a battle under specific conditions, which they understand to be a certain duration of combat.
As they prepare for the encounter, Pencilgon reveals an arsenal of revival items, including Tears of Rebirth Jewels and Divine Balms of Life, acquired at a high cost to grant them multiple chances to overcome Wethermon's formidable challenge. Each team member is equipped with these items, emphasizing the team's strategy, which relies on endurance and tactical revival.
The battle tactic, referred to as the "Zombie Strategy," involves cycling through team members and reviving fallen allies to sustain the fight against Wethermon. This approach is immediately put to the test as they face Wethermon's relentless assaults, forcing the team to adapt and manage their resources wisely. The encounter highlights the high demands on their skills and the steep costs of their endeavor, both in terms of in-game currency and the physical durability of their equipment.
The episode reaches a climax when Wethermon enters a new phase after ten minutes, summoning Kirin, a tactical mount, which shifts the dynamics of the battle. This development forces the team to adjust their strategy, deploying Katzo Tataki against Kirin to prevent a devastating combination attack with Wethermon. The meticulous planning and resource allocation underscore the team's dedication and the extreme demands of their quest.
Amid this grueling battle, the narrative takes a moment to delve into the backstory and broader context of the game world, including the strategic use of unique items like the Reward Scale. This item, which grants players significant advantages, becomes a crucial turning point in their strategy, allowing them to momentarily gain the upper hand in the daunting situation.
