Scattered throughout the world of Ni no Kuni comes powerful foes called Tainted Monsters that you can vanquish when you feel you are strong enough. They are often seen in the world map as you are exploring or inside caverns where they are surrounded with a purple aura to easily distinguish them. Each of them rewards players for beating them with great amount of experience points and a bunch of rare items that you can only get by taking them down.

There are about 50 Tainted Monsters that you can take down that starts at Level 22 going all the way up to Level 69.

Tips:
– Make use of the Tactics Tweaker to easily beat the boss.
– Don’t take on the boss if you are five levels under the boss’ level.
– Take note of the elemental type of the monsters, and the creature to learn its weakness and to prepare what equipment to use
