Beat Ogre Oustin' Hard Mode for Shiny Munchlax in the Teal Mask - Pokemon Scarlet Violet DLC

[@Retro_Acted]

Keep in mind, you HAVE to clear the difficulties in order if you want the clear prizes. I beat hard by joining a team without unlocking it first and didn't get it, so I had to clear normal and beat hard AGAIN before it gave me it.

I unfortunately did this by mistake, I thought I had done normal. Luckily and unluckily two people I was with made the same mistake so we went through normal and hard again. We were in VC and our second go at hard we beat it in our 5-8 real attempts compared to our first complete that took I think 8 hours.

[@WakeUpMrW3st]

I failed miserably lol

[@misterwacky3186]

Is there a way for players to it solo?

[@NoesJuanJo]

the shiny munchlax is also Max HEIGHT, so you can show it to the lady in Mezagoza to get the humongo mark on it as well

[@outrageouslamp4539]

I wish they had an option to join up with randoms like tera raids, rather than needing a code/ coordinating with people to make a team.

[@BDra7]

this was the one thing I had a problem with, it is not feasible solo and hard to get a group together. Random connection with others should definitely be a thing. Hopefully they update it

[@outrageouslamp4539]

@@BDra7 also there being no ability to quit out (even when doing it solo) feels like an oversight. I'd really been hoping this mini game would be a great and easy way to get EV items but you barely get any and it takes a while.

[@TheMadSnorlax]

Agreed! I had a similar idea/fix for the Mewtwo raid event, add some kind of scaling! There should be different raids/mini games scaling/difficulty depending on solo and or your party size. Would solve a lot of the "I can't get X Pokemon/Item because X Money/team barrier" problems

[@nathanlamont9920]

Another example of Nintendo's primitive online service.

[@maverickckj]

I would agree but i think being able to join random would not help you finish Hard mode because you need to have communication and a strategy to beat it. Since you can’t voice chat or even send text messages to other players online, this would not work

[@fernvazquez8423]

i agree with your ending words, the mini-game is surprisingly fun, being doing it for mochi since it's far quicker than any money farm or bracer ev training if you are constantly running through resources for competitive. so beyond just the shiny and the achievement of having done it, it's a really good farm, in less than 2 hours we got about 600 mochi total.

[@sleepyppl4286]

austin, the festival one is not on normal difficulty, its on easy difficulty, you can tell because it only has 3 rounds, and once you go back to the desk to do them after the festival the score you get during the festival is on the easy mode option

[@BorderFreak]

As someone that has grinded this minigame for at least 8 hours now I'm glad there is a video for the best strats

[@thatperson2537]

I managed to succeed it for the story. Certainly wasn’t easy but definitely doable. I thought it was weird when I saw let’s plays have entirely different dialogue to what I had. I didn’t realise why until today.

Cannot even get past round 5 medium difficulty on my own. I guess gamefreak really hates singleplayer now considering this and the mewtwo raid (even though i barely managed to solo it)

@@esmin2400 it also has to do with your map and leaving ballons you'll need near the depositing area from what I remember

I didn't fail during the festival, in fact I had tons of time remaining since I grabbed them in one sweep and didn't place them until I hit the number mark for each pedestal

[@sethporter9066]

Same here. It's all about efficiency really, don't overextend yourself, be mindful of the amount you can carry and try to do as many as you can in one swoop, preferably complete all of them

[@adammazarul808]

I was playing Hard mode earlier with some people over voice chat and we were having a hard time getting past Stage 8. During one of the matches, someone got disconnected and instead of kicking the rest of us out, we were still in the mini-game with the timer frozen at 120 seconds. Balloons wouldn't respawn and berries wouldn't count for everyone, only for the person who deposited them, but the balloons would respawn for someone once they completed the stage. We each managed to beat Stages 1-10 individually with the frozen timer and were rewarded with the Munchlax at the end. We're still not sure how the glitch occurred but are glad to have our Munchlaxes.

[@KingJ944]

I'm probably the 5% here and thought that first time during the festival was pure as hell easy. Just picked up the exact amount needed before depositing any of them into the baskets. I didn't even know you could FAIL it. Nonetheless, many thanks for your guides, and good luck to everyone grabbing their Shiny Munchlax!

[@commanderredjonkks5268]

I wasted some time picking up extras cause I thought that would give me a higher score, but now I know that finishing fast does way more for your score than depositing extras. So yeah I finished it easily, but I didn't beat Carmine's score.

[@Omizuke]

Did you beat Carmine?

[@themagician9573]

i beat ogre oustin during the festival, but was super confused the whole time

[@caosisaac]

Years of doing chocobo races in ffx made this a breeze. I didn't know it was possible to fail the first time.

[@Busenbacher]

I killed it the first time I ever tried, just collect all the balloons as the colors are required and then get them back at once. Can't hardly imagine how anyone could fail during the quest 😅

[@tomdaturtle5792]

I already managed to discern these strategies on my own and figured there was something I was missing. Turns out its friends that I'm missing!

I managed to clear Normal by myself but I'm glad you did it with a team because I wasn't ready to solo Hard mode

[@commanderredjonkks5268]

I've gotten very close to finishing Normal mode solo, but I just keep thinking how much easier multiplayer must make it. Wish I could just join a match with randos

[@infinityappears]

Huh. I beat the story one first try pretty easily with a score of ~7600. Haven't done it at all since then bc I didn't find it fun, and it kinda sucks that you need a bunch of friends if you want the Munchlax D:

[@JD-iu6rv]

This reward is actually really good!

[@MatthewJrP]

As a snorlax lover that didn’t have shiny munchlax I’m so happy about this. I love snorlax so much I have a full team of alpha shiny snorlax :)

[@MarkHogan994]

How do you shiny hunt alphas in PLA? I never found a good strategy myself.

[@Muffin_Pack]

Completed it on hard with 3 people, we made sure to all get a full 30 berries right at the start, then hand them all in at once at which point the third player was on dedicated guard dog duty, means we had a 90 berry head start before any pokemon had spawned since we hadn't handed in any berries and then the two remaining players were able to gather up and finish off the remaining berries we needed with about 5 seconds left. Also didn't fail the story version, nor did anyone I know that played it.

[@jamesperrott1]

This is literally the most basic thing ever there’s no other way to do it than this. You’re always doing this. Even if you don’t put 30 in exactly the same time you’re all close enough it makes no difference This isn’t a tip

[@Muffin_Pack]

@@jamesperrott1 Simply stated how I completed it. Never suggested this was a tip or anything. Not sure why this comment upset you so much but hope your day gets better brother.

[@callmegekkouga]

One thing about playing Ogre Ousting with friends: Only the host will receive the Shiny Munchlax and not the participants. Mixel played with friends and did all the difficulties and only he got the Shiny and not everyone else

[@BorderFreak]

Did everyone else clear normal first because that might've been the issue they might still get it after they clear normal if that was the case

[@BDra7]

this happens when the others haven't beaten normal mode. You have to beat easy and then normal (with or without friends) then when you do the hard mode you will get the munchlax. So if you have a group just do easy, then normal, then try hard mode

[@cypher686]

You have to give it to game freak - I was finally able to make a friend for 15 minutes while we completed the mini game. The photo you get at the end means so much to me, that I screenshotted it and printed it. Shame I’ll never see them again but kudos for game freak to making losers like me feel part of a team

[@SigmaGuardian66]

Kinda wish they had done a different location besides the apple grove in the rotation. That area is practically a fail condition because of all the objects you can collide with.

[@MrZangetsu1997]

Honestly, I didn't have any issue with the Story segment for Ogre Oustin, I'm pretty sure it's the Easy difficulty, I can do Easy all by myself and I can get all the way until Normal 4 before losing the run

[@URAunitB]

I've played through the DLC story multiple times for several files and can say with certainty that the Festival mission is set to Easy mode. It's only 3 Rounds and you're able to grab all needed berries without ever going over max hold capacity in every round. Your score also shows up under the easy difficulty when you go back to the stand.

[@fiora2822]

Heads up: if you cant find anyone to help you with normal mode i found a consistent strategy to do it solo but you do have to be very fast. Once you reach round 4 the strategy is to overfill one basket by a minumum of 7-10 with the berry most accessible that wave while also picking up the rarest color and no others. After you reach max carried unload only the berry your overfilling then quickly start collecting every berry you see except the color overfilled. Try to finish the rarest color and second rarest color, dump them scare off any pokemon nearby and speedrun the last color needed

[@thatonetallguy]

I didn't fail during the festival it was super simple and I had tons of time. The important thing was just collecting a bunch of extra berries. Hard mode looks impossible

[@franciscolopes30]

The map is really an important factor. I tried dozen of times with random people,failed always because of like two berries, the first time in that map we succeeded.

[@lifestylegaming90]

Thank God I though I was crazy that I could not beat normal by myself. I always got to stage 5 and could not pass it

[@howiethao277]

No friends so I’ve just playing solo. Pretty much everything is spot on for solo play except tip #2. Go ahead and over-collect on berries. Because unfortunately you WILL be losing berries to munchlax and greedant. When you over-collect/over-deposit your berries, it doesn’t tell you but all of your berries are in that basket. You may only need 15 red but you can have as many as you want. This is important because having extra berries adds a time buffer to the Pokémon eating your berries. Hopefully enough time for you to get there and scare them away. If a Snorlax comes, always prioritize scaring it away because there is essentially no time buffer with that fatass. If it gets to your table, your berries are gone. The map that John says is the best one is without-a-doubt definitively the best one. All the others will be impossible on hard. Plan your routes ahead of time. As you’re making your first run to the baskets, keep an eye on where the other balloons/berries you need are and run those routes afterwards. I’ve only ever made it to stage 9; didn’t even know there was a stage 10. With great luck, I could definitely get to stage 10 but getting good enough luck to get to stage 9 is already hard enough. Even though it’s dang hard, it’s so much fun too. And that Shiny Munchlax is such a great incentive.

[@YourFateG]

Wistful Fields at North is just the best one, while Apple Fields is the worse to play, after so many attempts, I beat it solo in Hard Mode, seriously, what a deplorable minigame, literally two months trying it, it's deplorable because, Easy is completely free and Normal near to free, like, if I would measure each difficult by Geometry Dash rating (search to know), would be like that (bases in my skill in GD): Easy: Normal 3* Normal: Harder 6* Hard: Hard Demon So if you know how is these difficulties in the Geometry Dash game, you will know that it's such a big difficult jump from Normal to Hard, to the point of it becoming totally the inverse of enjoyable, seriously, I'm really glad I finally passed it. And I was almost forgetting, to beat Hard is pure luck and "RNG", if a row of Snorlax come in Stages 8-10, f* off, you guaranteed lose, it was mainly the problem.

[@JoelTheParrot]

You can also get a Jumbo Mark on the Munchlax 1:06 Oh OK that's why everyone is so confused about the ability to fail, this is a WILD claim that like, I assume is true, but also wow how in the world is it true 1:15 Blatantly untrue, You only do levels 1-3 unlike Normal so it's super duper easy. The only difficulty comes from if you don't know about the limit at first due to level 3 having exactly 30 berries needed, and even then the most that'll happen there is just that you have to go out and fix your berry count and you'll not get enough points to conquer Carmine's score.

Hearing you say that nearly everyone you spoke to failed it shocked me. It was surprisingly easy that first go around, only when I tried Normal after did it seem to spike in difficulty

[@LordEmpyreal]

That's really weird that so many people failed the initial Ogre Oustin'. I beat the high score with around 3800 pts, and she even gets mad that you beat her and demands her brother plays to beat your score, but he says he doesn't want to. So no, it's not set up to fail you at all. Also I can confirm the festival version is on Easy, as it ends in Three rounds, Normal ends in Six. I can also confirm that if you complete the festival version you will NOT unlock Normal, you have to go in and beat it again on Easy to progress to Normal.

[@GorillaZilla_1]

So a few friends and I tried this, we succeeded. The method we TM’ed is bum rush. Effectively the entire time of the game you collect everything from the far corners and then the last person who makes it back has to guard. Believe it or not, orchard was our fav one because you could see everything, the easiest is definitely the cave map because of, well, the caves. So moral or my story is collect everything instead of dividing it up, you’ll lose time searching for specific colors.

[@blackstar5867]

I found a cheese for the during the festival course so I didn't fail Hold every berry you need all at once then deliver. This is easy in round 1 and 2 but you need to be exact in round 3 as picking up even 1 berry to many of any colour will set you over the hold limit when it's delivery time
