Tore

The Tore is a monster encountered in Dark Chronicle. It resembles a large, dried up, psychotic-looking tree, with branches as its "arms". It has a boss variation, the Trentos, that appears in the Rainbow Butterfly Wood's Earth Chamber.

Battle Tactics[]

This monster, though more suited for the Ridepod, can be defeated by using Monica's Sword or Max's Wrench with enough attack power. It has a single attack, using its hand-like branches by quickly slashing the player. It is executed quite fast, but it can be safely blocked and countered by the player, though is executed very frequently at close range due to the Tore's almost infinite pain resistance.

The Tore and its variations are known to spawn small versions of themselves in groups, known as Kotores. When released, the Kotores will endlessly pursue the player and will try to damage the player by making an explosive kamikaze attack. These small monsters can pose a big threat, especially when in large numbers. You can either kill them, or avoid them, because they will auto-explode within a certain time frame. If you've got a Grenade-type gun, you can use this weapon to kill them quickly. All versions should be avoided at all costs - they deal high damage, and three will spawn each time the Tore uses this attack. Bear in mind that the explosion they create has no effect on the tore.

To counter the Tore, you should use Monica's Sword, as mentioned above, or the Ridepod. The Ridepod's Cannonball Arm works, but it is highly recommended to obtain a Barrel Cannon as soon as possible to avoid direct exposure. Later variations should obviously be countered with stronger Ridepod arms, such as the Nova Cannon.

Trivia[]

  • This monster can give you the scoop "Tore's Nap". To obtain it, take a shot of the Tore when it adopts it's 'sleeping act'. Really easy to obtain, just wait before you engage a Tore, and at a medium to far range it will perform the animation. Move in close enough until you can snap the shot and get the scoop.
