Trial 190

== Walkthrough ==
Defeat 50 experience yielding Beetle type mobs under Ice, Earth, Water, or Dark weather conditions. Soulsaber must be equipped. 
--As of the latest update, all kills on Beetles now count as 5 instead of 1, so a total of 10 Beetles must be slayed in order to complete the trial.
Quicksand Caves weather seems more reliable than Crawler's Nest.
*Through the weight door on Quicksand Caves Map 3 is great place to find several beetles grouped together that can be killed quickly.
**At 90+, some of the beetles may con TW.
Another option is to find a level 50ish person to level sync to and go fight beetles in West Altepa.
*You can sync as high as 64 (which allows for much easier kills) and you still get credit for all beetle kills.
*Alternately, you can sync to 50-63 (at 66 you dont get xp from most beetles) and kill beetles in Eastern Altepa.
==Area Options==
*Crawler's Nest vs. Helm Beetle. Not very many of them, however. Rains don't always last long enough for repops.
*Garlaige Citadel vs. Chamber Beetle. Dust Storms are not consistent, but the beetles are many and quite easily beaten.
**Since Ground Tomes were added to Garlaige Citadel, the Chamber Beetles in the large lower room you drop into have been replaced by higher level beetles you should be 95+ to take on - Chamber Beetles will be harder to come by easily.
**Chamber Beetles behind Banishing Gate#2 all check EP at level 99 and there is enough for this trial.
*Western Altepa Desert (J-9) into Quicksand Caves vs Helm Beetle. As described above, may have to clear out a few Too Weak Beetles.
*Batallia Downs (S) vs. Forester Beetle. Area in Northwest corner where Lumber Jack spawns in present time. there 17 beetles in that small area with a quick respawn timer, but you will need a sync under 65. they are only 47-50 range.
*Sauromugue Champaign (S) vs Gouger Beetle. They check Tough to a level 90 character, and there are about 20 of them in the NE part of the map. As almost every zone in the past, weather can be frequent. Can get earth weather there.
*Ordelle's Caves vs Targe Beetle. They check Decent Challenge to a level 90 character, lots of spawns. They spawn on Map 1 at F/G-12 and H/I-12 (in the area up the cliff that you drop through the hole to get to). Water weather is frequent but it can be wind as well (that will not count unfortunately).
