How to Obtain the Monowheel S1 Mount

The Monowheel S1 mount is acquired by defeating the AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage) in battle. This particular fight is the last one in the Savage difficulty tier for Light-heavyweight opponents, making the Monowheel S1 mount one of the most difficult to obtain in the game.

The fourth fight of any raid tier is known to be the most difficult and challenging. In order to unlock this fight, you must first complete all of the previous fights. This particular fight is especially grueling, as it includes an in-game transition and can take over 12 minutes to complete. Even if you manage to defeat it, you will still have to compete with other players in your party for the highly coveted mount, with the winner determined by the highest roll.

If you’re planning to engage in the battle, it is highly recommended that you equip yourself properly, familiarize yourself with your class, and be willing to devote several hours to comprehending the mechanics. Furthermore, you will need to join a group to face the challenges with. While using the Party Finder is a possibility, it is essentially a gamble in terms of the skill level of the players you may end up with.

Another option is to become a member of a static group, where a consistent group of players gather at designated times to raid together. This has its advantages as you can build strong relationships with your fellow players and have a more structured system for distributing loot. In my static group, we prioritize giving the mount to healers before distributing equipment to DPS, as they are typically the first to receive loot from boss fights.
