Elite Hunting & Cogah Farming Guide

Quick answer — Soulframe elite hunting & Cogah loop

Soulframe elite hunting means farming respawning Agari sub-bosses in Cogah hard mode: brew Agaric Mushrooms into The Cogah Elixir, drink before each fight, and chain high-value targets like Wraith of Wastes, Kabocha, and Mendicant King for Moranite, joineries, and catalog-listed Cogah uniques.

| Question | Answer | |----------|--------| | What is elite hunting? | Killing Agari (respawning sub-bosses) with Cogah Elixir active for boosted rare drops | | Best early spine | Kabocha → Wraith of Wastes → Mendicant King after The Waste Bear | | Where are pins & drops? | World boss location table — timer types and per-boss Cogah columns | | How to track respawns? | Standard Agari ~30 min on the Agari Timer; siege forts use ~3h windows |

• Cogah setup: Every Agari kill drops an Agaric Mushroom at the corpse. Brew at Verminia's cauldron and drink before each fight — hard mode applies per engagement, not passively across the session.
• Timer discipline: community catalog indexes 10 overworld Agari map pins plus 6 dungeon-only bosses (see location table). Siege waypoints (Mirifuir, Kearnhold, Curlail) run ~3h; Hark the Collector (~6h) is a separate world event.
• Material context: Pair this loop with farming routes for scrap, Chordstone, and whole-weapon preview habits between Agari windows.

What Are Agari?

Agari are respawning sub-bosses spread across Midrath. Unlike one-time Fable bosses, they return on a 30-minute clock after each kill (community catalog), making them the backbone of mid- and end-game material farming.

Each kill also drops an Agaric Mushroom at the corpse — the ingredient for The Cogah Elixir, which switches on hard mode for better rare drops.

The Cogah Elixir & Hard Mode

How to craft and activate

1. Defeat any Agari and pick up the Agaric Mushroom at the corpse.
2. Travel to Verminia's cauldron and craft The Cogah Elixir from mushrooms.
3. Drink the elixir before each Agari fight you want Cogah rewards from — hard mode applies per engagement, not passively across the whole session.
4. Track standard Agari respawns on the Agari Timer so you are not idle between kills.

What changes in Cogah

Consuming The Cogah Elixir before hunting activates hard mode:

• Enemies become stronger as you defeat each Agari in the chain
• Preludes 15: Cogah spawns start at level 50 and scale with party size — bring Life Elixirs and expect tougher fights in groups
• Rewards improve significantly — Moranite, River Pearl, and Sappheline (Virtue Lith removed in Preludes 15)
• Some Ode'n patrols may drop whole weapons with previewable Tempers — see farming routes; 3★ targets like Dewelion still use fragments (Castellan Malrog siege)
• Hard mode ends when you stop playing or die
• Solo or squad of up to three players

Per-boss Cogah drop columns (Kabocha, Wraith, Rovgot Wyrm, Mendicant King, Malrog, Vadagar Stag) live on the location table — confirm rates in your client after patches.

Agari vs siege vs event timers

Not every target on the farm loop uses the Agari clock. Match the row to the right tracker — full examples on the location table:

| Timer type | Cadence | Examples | Track with | |------------|---------|----------|------------| | Agari · 30 min | ~30 minutes after kill (community catalog) | Kabocha, Wraith of Wastes, Mendicant King | Agari Timer | | Siege · ~3h | ~3-hour siege window per fort | Mirifuir Conductors, Castellan Malrog, Castellan Huthra | Siege gameplay / Skylantern timers | | Event · ~6h | World operation, not a map pin | Nimrod (Hark the Collector only) | Hark guide | | Faction Tale | Votive finale, not community catalog Agari index | Vadagar Stag, Vadagar Bear | Faction Tale journal — no Agari timer |

Common mistake: ringing Cogah bells at a siege fort and expecting a 30-minute Agari respawn. Siege nodes still count toward Cogah/Compendium objectives on community catalog, but they follow the ~3h siege cadence — plan Malrog/Dewelion runs around siege windows, not the Agari Timer alone.

Best farm routes

Central–southwest spine (joineries + fragments)

After The Waste Bear, prioritize this chain when you want efficient crafting mats without backtracking:

1. Kabocha (Wevetwood) — Early high-value Agari; Basker's Wrest fragments and Cogah uniques on the catalog row.
2. Thrice-Bound Impidh — Short central hop while Kabocha respawns.
3. Wraith of Wastes — Once Blessed Joineries + Erstroot fragments; parry orbs and clear spider adds.
4. Fort Kearnhold → Rovgot Wyrm — Dewelion fragments via Malrog siege + Cenotaph fragments from the wyrm.
5. Mendicant King (southwest bell) — Twice Blessed Joineries; swap worlds if your instance is on cooldown.

Full north–south loop (~45–60 min)

When you have a full hour, extend north from Mirifuir before dropping south — step list matches the location table route:

1. Mirifuir Siege — three Conductors (siege guide)
2. East → Gruul-Seeker Ruthos (low-value — skip unless routing north)
3. West → Knell Knight → Gawth → Etheldred
4. South → Kabocha → Thrice-Bound Impidh
5. Fort Kearnhold — Castellan Malrog
6. Southeast → Nimrod / Rovgot Wyrm
7. Wraith of Wastes → Fort Curlail (Huthra)
8. Southwest → Mendicant King

Finish at Mendicant King and check the Agari Timer — Kabocha may already show Ready for lap two.
