Experience the Game’s Charm: “Boss Battle Stage #1”
The booth hosted not only exhibition and demo zones, but also daily stage events. On the first business day of our visit, the “Boss Battle Stage #1” event took place—a fun, fast-paced challenge designed to clearly showcase the thrill of combat. This event featured popular streamers competing in a time trial battle against bosses.
The event kicked off with an introduction by the host, followed by appearances from streamers Bodoka-san, Obosan, and Suzuki Noriaki. All three were experiencing “Mongil” for the first time, so they began by selecting their favorite characters—Bodoka chose Flare, Obosan picked Francis, and Suzuki went with Estel.

Their first opponent was boss Amon. Suzuki began with a team of Nare, Estel, and Cloud, delivering flashy combat using attacks and skills. He chuckled, saying, “You can’t just stand there—you’ll get hit easily.”

Next, Obosan fielded Mina, Estel, and Francis. Though momentarily unsure of the controls, she ultimately secured victory with a powerful finishing move using her favorite character, Francis.
Finally, Bodoka chose Flare, Estel, and Rayna. With remarkably steady gameplay—almost as if they’d played before—she executed rapid combos of special attacks to claim victory.

The final times were: Suzuki at 2 minutes 54 seconds, Obosan at 1 minute 50 seconds, and Bodoka fastest with 1 minute 46 seconds. Holding her plushie prize, Bodoka smiled and said, “It was stronger than I imagined. But switching characters to layer skills and ultimates felt incredibly satisfying and fun.”

Their next opponent was the stronger boss, Dogshiny. This time, Bodoka went first. She assembled a team of Ophelia, Estel, and Daisy, smoothly executing her attacks with familiar control to clear the stage in just 1 minute 39 seconds. “It’s more efficient to maximize damage and skill usage during character switches. Using skills instead of basic attacks deals significantly higher damage,” she calmly observed.
Next, Obosan used Flare, Estel, and Francis. Focusing on perfect dodges while steadily dealing damage, she won in 1 minute 27 seconds.
Finally, Suzuki fielded Estel, Flare, and Ophelia. With consistent performance from the start, she smoothly advanced through the battle and secured the fastest time of 1 minute 13 seconds. Holding her plushie, Suzuki commented: “I enjoyed gathering information and strategizing during combat. Thinking about how to use skills made it a fun, deep gameplay experience.” The event demonstrated clear room for improvement with practice, highlighting the game’s depth.
While this report covers the business day, multiple stage events are scheduled for public days as well. Cast and programs vary by date and time, so each visit to the booth promises a new surprise. Alongside exhibitions and demos, experiencing exclusive live stages is one of the major highlights of the “Mongil: STAR DIVE” booth.
