There are many bosses in Neverness to Everness, but Mammon is renowned for his unpredictable attacks. While he appears slow and clumsy, his movement speed and attack recovery time are incredibly deceptive.
Add to that Mammon's astonishing health, powerful Ground Slam, and attack range far exceeding player expectations, making both offense and defense equally crucial in his fight.
Therefore, this guide covers everything about Mammon, including how to unlock this fight and some unique mechanics and techniques to help you easily overcome this challenge.
How to Unlock Mammon?
Mammon isn't available immediately. You need to complete either Yarn Ball in Neverness to Everness or Anomaly Commission in Fons. These quests can be found on Anomaly Commissions screen on the map.
After completing these steps, you need to go to Ebisu Auction House to bid on Gluttonous Eye item and Covetous Coins used to activate and upgrade Blind Mammon plushie.
However, please note that to participate in the auction, you must complete Chapter 3 of the main story, Deal? Deal!
Activating Plushie unlocks Realm of Greed game mode. You can use Covetous Coins to upgrade Plushie's level; the higher the level, the more Fons you'll receive per Mammon challenge. Rewards reset weekly, so the number of Fons obtainable each week is limited.
However, you can challenge Mammon an unlimited number of times through Anomaly Furniture. Each time you break your personal record, you'll receive additional rewards on top of previous challenges.
In addition, Mammon will also appear as the final boss of Pink Paws Bank Heist; defeating him will grant a large amount of Fons.
How to Beat Mammon?
Reading Mammon's movement
The biggest challenge in attacking Mammon is that, unlike other slow-moving bosses in Neverness to Everness, you can't predict his attacks. Mammon's movements have almost no wind-up, and he can close the distance to you almost instantly.
You might be tempted to go all out, but he has high stagger resistance, meaning he can even counterattack during your combos if you're not paying attention to his movements.
Mammon's primary attack is a straight-line lunge. If you dodge backward at this point, you'll make a big mistake, as his attack range is long enough to still graz you.
The correct approach is to dodge diagonally to his side, at approximately a 45-degree angle, targeting his rear. If executed correctly, you'll be behind him as he completes his thrust, in a perfect attack window.
Utilize Parry System
Some of Mammon's combos end with a parryable ultimate attack. After his third or fourth claw swing, he'll pause briefly and emit a golden or white flash. This is your parry opportunity.
A successful parry significantly reduces his stagger bar. When the bar is depleted, Mammon will fall to the ground and take an additional 50% damage.
However, you need to be aware that if Mammon is surrounded by a deep red aura, you cannot parry that attack and must dodge it. Only when there is a golden or white flash around him can the attack be parried. Many players feel the parry mechanism doesn't work because they try to parry attacks with the red aura.
Surviving Array Slam
In Neverness to Everness, Mammon's most dangerous attack is Array Slam, also known as Ground Slam. His attack involves multiple consecutive swings, and just when you think the attack is over and begin to relax your guard, you'll find the ground beneath your feet begins to glow. This delayed area attack can be fatal to most players.
Therefore, when Mammon uses Array Slam, you need to be extremely careful. Use a character with a movement skill, such as Nanally, to create distance and return to the attack range only after the glowing effect has completely disappeared.
Dealing with Mammon's Enraged Phase
In high-tier Endless modes, when Mammon's health drops below 30%, he enters Mammon's enraged phase. His movement speed will increase, and his Array Slam will add an additional shockwave ring.
The solution is simple: save at least one ultimate ability for this phase and kill him before his berserk state becomes uncontrollable. Try to avoid wasting your ultimate ability when Mammon's health is below 70%.
Exploiting Stagger Window
After Mammon is downed, don't just randomly attack with your strongest moves. The optimal sequence is as follows:
First, switch to Lakshana and apply elemental debuffs. Then switch back to Nanally and use her Burst abilities. Save your ultimate ability for this phase, ensuring each attack hits when Mammon is stationary.
During this time, utilize Lakshana's Esper Abilities in conjunction with Remora's mechanic to extend your sustained attack time, as Mammon can dash out of attack range even during ability cooldowns.
In summary, Nanally is crucial in dealing with Mammon and is an S-rank character in Neverness to Everness. If you don't already have her, you can buy Neverness to Everness Riftcrystal from EZG.com to obtain Solid Dice from the gacha pool and pull for her. This provides the fastest and safest acquisition path.
This concludes the article on how to defeat Mammon in Neverness to Everness. Timing is extremely important when battling him. Players can practice using the strategies outlined above, and we hope you succeed.
