Let's face it, what would be a role-playing game without optional bosses? If in Final Fantasy one of your main goals was to find and defeat the various Weapons in the game, even in Ni No Kuni II : The Fate of a Kingdom you can try your hand at a whole series of confrontations with a high level of difficulty. In the game world there are in fact 60 Creatures of the Evil. They may look like ordinary monsters, but the purple aura that surrounds them makes us realize that this is not the case. These creatures are much stronger than their colleagues, and beating them won't be easy in some cases. Once again, the game will grant us two trophies linked to these optional encounters: "Hunter", a bronze trophy that will be awarded to you after you kill the first Creature of the Evil One", and "Legendary Hunter", which will unlock to the 50th defeated creature.
In this guide, we will tell you where to find and how to defeat all 60 Creatures of the Evil One. If you are looking for other useful advice on Ni No Kuni II : The Destiny of a Kingdom, have a look at the other guides we have created:
Ni No Kuni II how to beat the Creatures of the Evil One.
Let's start by saying that in Ni No Kuni II : The Doom of a Kingdom, there will be 60 creatures of the curse. Of these, the last ten will only appear after defeating the previous 50, which, we remind you, are necessary for the "Legendary Hunter" trophy. You will come across many of these creatures during the secondary missions. Precisely for this reason, it is certainly a good idea to complete them all and to be so "on with the job". Remember also that every defeated Evil One Creature will reward you with a lot of experience, with a lot of dorados and with some objects that can be obtained practically only in this way.
If you are also trying to get the "Millionaire" trophy, defeating all the Creatures of the Maleficio is undoubtedly a great way to unlock the achievement in question. Before we go into the list, we'll leave you with a few small tips to bring home victory in the battles that await you.
- Get a good supply of healing supplies. Don't skimp on the various Medical Herbs, Medical Granderbs, Medical Clovers, Incense, Grandincense, as well as the Tears of the Angel and the Goddess, in case any member of your team is knocked out;
- Don't go to battle on an empty stomach. Before each fight, it is good to consume food that will give you attack and/or defense bonuses. In addition, you should eat any food that can increase the loading percentage of the weapons you use;
- When the counter of your weapon reaches 100%, what would normally be magical attacks will become stun attacks. The moment you've managed to knock the creature out momentarily, take advantage of this to charge the other weapons to 100%, so that when it gets up, you'll have a new opportunity to stun it again;
- Always count on the help of the Cioffi. Never forget to check if your little friends are preparing a spell, in particular the Dark Chocks: their attacks, although they take a while to load themselves, are the most effective;

How to defeat the most powerful Creatures of the Evil One.
As some may have realized, the last ten monsters are by far the most challenging. For this very reason, to get the better of them, you will need to level your team. Once you've finished the game, you should be more or less at level 70, take advantage of the opportunity to face the final boss again and, within a few hours, you'll reach level 90, ideal to take down the remaining Evil Creatures. Moreover, defeating all monsters is certainly the best possible preparation to defeat the strongest boss of Ni No Kuni II : the monster on the 30th floor of the 10th Oneiric Labyrinth.
