Etrian Odyssey/Monsters

The monsters you encounter will be different depending on what floor you are on. Most specific monsters can be found on a small range of floors that are beside eachother.

There are times that you will be able to discover secret paths and stairs that will lead back to an earlier floor. When this happens the encounters will be stronger than the monsters in the previously explored areas of the same floor.


 * Types of monsters
 * Random encounters: The majority of monsters you will encounter will randomly start battle based on your movement.
 * Wandering monsters: On the map there are monsters that are represented by purple arrows. These monsters are much stronger than the monsters that can be randomly encountered in the same area. Once defeated they will regenerate in a few days.
 * Boss monsters: These function in the same manner as a wandering monster. Most are stationary until their room has been entered. Boss monsters are represented as red arrows and are commonly found at the end of an important area (often before the stairs leading to the next stratum).
