Chrono Odyssey Bounty Hunting Guide
Chrono Odyssey, the highly anticipated time-bending MMORPG developed by Npixel, is already drawing attention for its ambitious worldbuilding, dynamic combat, and complex quest mechanics — even in its closed beta state. One particularly rewarding feature for adventurers is the bounty system. While seemingly straightforward — pick a bounty, hunt the monster, claim your reward — it quickly becomes clear that these bounties aren't always easy to track down.
If you're a player who's spent hours aimlessly scouring the world for that one elusive target, this guide is for you. Below, we'll cover every bounty in the Chrono Odyssey closed beta, with details on how to locate and complete them efficiently, saving you hours of frustration and guesswork.
1. Ravenous Bog – Cliffs of Mima
Location: Above the lake near the cliffs of Mima.
Landmark: A small house with a frog trapped in a cage.
How to Spawn: Accept the quest at the bounty board, head to the house, and wait. Ravenous Bog should appear shortly after.
Tips: Kill, loot (slit), then teleport back to town to hand in the quest. Don't wait too long — other players often kill it quickly.
2. Aaricious Oswald – South of the City, Abandoned Farm
Location: Middle of the abandoned farm near the loot on the ground.
Special Mechanic: Use your temporal tuning skill to inspect nearby loot.
Progression: Follow the footsteps that appear, leading you to a cliff. Hide behind the box to trigger entry into a solo instance.
Tip: Be patient — the transition into the instance can feel delayed. Oswald can only be fought inside.
3. Cory the Deserter – Northwestern Map Edge
Location: Northwest, facing the ocean.
Landmark: A hard-to-spot cave containing both Cory and a treasure chest.
Tip: Approach carefully — the entrance is hidden until you're almost on top of it.
4. Trunker Text – East of Shady Lot
Location: In a valley featuring alien architecture, just beyond the cliffs.
Quirk: He sometimes bugs out and spawns stuck inside or on top of a tree.
Tip: If you don't see him, check nearby tree canopies — especially if he's not on the valley floor.
5. Gambler Rico – East of Starting Village
Location: Small outcast camp directly east of the starting area.
How to Find: He spawns in the center of the camp, often surrounded by hostile outcasts.
Warning: Don't underestimate the surrounding mobs. Clear the area first if possible.
6. Profane Gabe – West of the Arisen Ruins
Location: Under a terrace in a building with broken windows.
Steps: Jump through the shattered windows to access Gabe.
Pro Tip: Look for shimmer effects near the windows if you're unsure where to go. The area is visually distinct.
7. March the Abductor – Near Defector's Lighthouse
Location: Just outside the lighthouse.
Landmark: Trapped NPC (likely named “Jotto”) is positioned above the spawn area.
Strategy: Speak to the NPC, then stay close — March will spawn nearby. Clear surrounding mobs for safety.
8. Bewitched Shen – Seroma Stronghold
Location: Past a central staircase within the stronghold.
Steps: Climb the stairs, turn right, and walk past a tent into a building. Shen waits in the back room.
Tip: It's easy to miss the turn, so don't rush through the stronghold. Check each structure methodically.
9. Doomchief Berdick – Bill's Remote House (West Coast)
Location: Inside the isolated building on the western coast.
Pro Tip: The name "remote" is accurate — it's quite a hike. Use fast travel if you've unlocked nearby nodes.
10. Shredder Donald – Murkwater Fishing Spot (Southern Swamp)
Location: Swamp area with two houses behind a large tree.
Steps:
1. Enter the upper house.
2. You'll be pulled into a solo instance.
3. Go upstairs and speak to the woman in a cage.
4. Light the fireplace downstairs.
5. Look inside a nearby wardrobe for a shimmering vase to find the key.
6. Free the woman upstairs and follow her to the fight with Donald.
Note: This is a story-heavy bounty. Expect multiple steps.
11. Anna the Ominous Seir – Cave Near Murkwater (East Side)
Location: Past a large void arena and broken pillars near the eastern side of Murkwater.
How to Find: Walk beyond a small building, and a hidden cave will be behind it.
Tip: This area often hosts dynamic events — make sure you're not confusing the arena content with Anna's cave.
12. Undertaker Moore – Northeastern Graveyard
Location: Graveyard near the top-right of the map.
Landmark: Found just below a major NPC character marker on the map.
Tip: Clear zombies before engaging Moore. The graveyard is dense with mobs.
13. Tomb Raider Arlo – Near Moore's Graveyard
Location: Mountain next to Undertaker Moore's location.
Steps:
1. Climb to the summit.
2. Pull a lever to open a secret entrance.
3. Descend the stairs to the hidden cave.
4. Defeat Arlo.
Bug Warning: Arlo can glitch, making it difficult to loot his head. To avoid this:
Kill him on flat terrain.
Spam the "use" button as he dies.
Relog if necessary.
14. Deneva the Pyrostalker – Starting Area (First Breath Coast)
Location: Just north of the First Breath Coast label on the map.
Tip: Head toward the small hill behind the wyvern spawn. Deneva appears near the crest.
15. Spite the Flash Eater – Behind Hermit's Lab
Location: Back of Hermit's Lab structure.
Method: Run through the lab and jump off the back ledge.
Note: Spite has a fast respawn — if he's not there, wait a couple of minutes.
Why Do These Bounties Matter?
Besides being fun side content, bounties in Chrono Odyssey offer solid rewards:
Chrono Odyssey Gold/Solari – Spendable currency for gear and consumables.
Crafting Materials – Some bounties drop rare materials not found easily in the open world.
Faction Reputation – Completing bounties may contribute to faction progress depending on the quest board.
Experience – Bounties are excellent for leveling if you're tired of main quest grinding.
Pro Tips for Efficient Bounty Hunting
1. Use Teleporters
Unlock fast travel points across the map to reduce backtracking.
2. Party Up (If Possible)
While some bounties are solo-instance based, others benefit from grouped players killing and looting quickly.
3. Track Spawn Timers
Monsters despawn quickly after being killed and often take a few minutes to return. Make a personal list or use a timer app.
4. Pre-Survey High-Traffic Areas
If a bounty monster spawns in a busy zone, like Murkwater, check if other players are present or waiting.
5. Manage Inventory Beforehand
Some bounties drop items you need to pick up immediately (e.g., body parts or keys). Ensure your bag isn't full.
Closing Thoughts: Hunt With Precision
Chrono Odyssey's bounty system is one of the most entertaining ways to engage with the world outside the main storyline. Every bounty has its own mini-story, unique environment, or instance mechanic. But without the proper locations and context, you could waste hours trying to find a monster that despawned minutes before you arrived.
Whether you're in it for the loot, the thrill of the hunt, or just the completionist badge of honor, this bounty guide should be your go-to reference for the closed beta. Future updates will likely tweak spawn timers or add additional mechanics, so we'll be watching this space closely.
