Revision 3

Overview

Box Monster (小箱怪) is one of the 13 hidden rare spirits in Roco Kingdom: World. Unlike most hidden spirits that trigger from a statue throw, Box Monster requires the player's overworld star magic.

How to Obtain

1. Teleport to the Sanctuary Outpost Magic Source (圣所前哨魔力之源).

2. Locate the concealed box next to the teleport point.

3. Use star magic on the box. Box Monster reveals itself.

4. Capture with any Gulu Ball.

Tips

• Star magic is unlocked through the world magic progression system. If the action is greyed out, keep progressing until star magic is available.

• Only one of the boxes is the disguise. The star magic animation plays on the correct box.

Sanctuary Outpost Layout

The Sanctuary Outpost Magic Source teleport is on the southern stretch of the Kaluoxi'a Continent, accessible after the relevant magic source has been activated. A small clearing next to the teleport point holds several similar-looking wooden boxes. Only one box is the disguised Box Monster; the others are decorative scenery.

Identifying the Correct Box

• Star magic must be equipped from the magic radial menu before approaching the boxes.

• Aim star magic at each box in turn. The disguised box plays the star magic stun animation; ordinary scenery boxes do not react.

• Once stunned, the box transforms in place and Box Monster becomes immediately catchable.

Capture and Aftercare

Box Monster has a slightly lower base capture rate than ordinary wild spirits. An Intermediate Gulu Ball or higher is the safer choice if the player wants to avoid burning many Normal balls on retry attempts. The capture is one-time per account, so a successful first throw saves a return trip.

Box Monster is one of thirteen hidden rare spirits documented at launch. The full list lives on the Hidden Secrets and Collectibles page.

Typing and Combat Role

Box Monster reads as a Mech-type companion after capture. Its base stat profile leans toward defense rather than burst output, which fits its disguise theme; raw HP and physical defense are above the wild-spirit average for the southern continent zone, while speed sits in the lower band.

In team building, Box Monster works as an early-game pivot rather than a primary damage dealer. Lead a fragile attacker from the bench, and switch Box Monster in to absorb a non-super-effective hit before rotating back. The Mech typing gives clean resists against Grass and Bug spirits commonly found in starter zones.

• Strong against: Grass, Ice, Bug, Cute spirits

• Weak against: Fire, Fighting attackers

• Pair with: Fire Spark or another mid-game Fire-type that handles Box Monster's matchup losses

Post-Capture and Dex Notes

Box Monster is one of thirteen hidden rare spirits documented at launch. After the first capture, the disguised box at the Sanctuary Outpost reverts to ordinary scenery; star magic will still play its animation but no further encounter spawns. The capture credits the dex entry permanently, so players can recall the spirit later through the Spirit Box without revisiting the spawn point.

The dex entry includes Box Monster's height and weight bands, which feed into the World Observation Notes capture sub-event. Players who clear Box Monster early often fold the entry into a sub-event run for additional Light Prism Crystal payouts.
