How to Get Tusk Act 4 in A Universal Time: Complete Public Server Guide

The Path to Tusk Act 4

Obtaining Tusk Act 4 in A Universal Time is a significant milestone that tests both your combat skills and your patience. As one of the most powerful Stands in the game, it requires a long journey starting from Act 1. To reach the final form, you must navigate various quests, boss battles, and server challenges. Unlike simpler Stands, Tusk requires specific items like the Saint's Ribcage and Arms, which are obtained through specific activities like digging in the Devil's Palm or defeating high-level enemies.

Phase 1: From Tusk Act 1 to Act 3

Before you can pursue Act 4, you must ensure your Tusk is fully evolved through the previous stages.

1. Tusk Act 1: Talk to Gyro at the waterfall near the Desert entrance. Kill 15 Thugs, then use a Saint's Ribcage (found by digging in the Devil's Palm or looting chests from Curses) on a Standless character.
2. Tusk Act 2: Reach Level 200 with Act 1. Locate Gyro near the Port entrance to start the quest. You must travel 1,000 meters with Nail Glide, kill 15 Thugs and 15 Hooligans, and amass/claim 250k Bounty.
3. Tusk Act 3: Reach Ascension 2 with Act 2. This requires 1,000,000 UCoins. Once Ascended, use the Dark Determination move with a 40% chance of evolving into Act 3.

Phase 2: Final Quest Requirements

Once you have secured Tusk Act 3 and reached Level 200, head to the Desert to find Gyro in front of Alabasta Town. The final quest is broken down into two distinct parts: gathering evidence and the final confrontation.

• Defeat 35 Hooligans: A straightforward combat task to prove your worth.
• Gather Evidence: You have 7.5 minutes to find the Blood Stains, Dirty Napkin, Corpse Parts, and the Flag within Alabasta Town.
• The Final Boss: Locate and defeat Funny Valentine in the Devil's Palm.

Tips for Public Server Grinding

Grinding for Tusk Act 4 in a public server, as noted by community members, can be incredibly challenging due to the presence of other players. If you are struggling to find items or complete quests, keep these tips in mind:

Tip

• Mobility is Key: Always keep a bike or high-mobility Stand ready. If you are being chased by hostile players, use Nail Glide to create distance.
• Negotiation: If you are farming the altar or waiting for boss spawns, try to communicate with others. Many players are also grinding and may be willing to form a temporary truce.
• Efficiency: If you die during the Funny Valentine fight, do not panic. His health does not reset, meaning you can return to the fight and continue where you left off.

Facing Funny Valentine

Funny Valentine is the ultimate obstacle. He spawns at the bottom of the Devil's Palm at the start of every real-world hour. With 30,000 HP and the powerful D4C Stand, he is not to be underestimated.

Warning

The Devil's Palm deals constant passive damage to your character. Ensure you have enough health regeneration or healing moves (like Herbal Tea) to survive the environment while focusing on the boss.

Focus on keeping your distance. Use your range advantage with Tusk Act 3's moves like Wormhole Trap to root him in place. If his clones get too close, retreat immediately, as they explode on contact. Since you can return after dying, focus on dealing consistent damage rather than playing overly aggressive.

FAQ

Does my quest progress reset if I switch servers?

While most quest progress is saved, it is safer to complete the steps in a single session if possible to avoid potential bugs, especially during the time-limited evidence gathering phase.

Is Tusk Act 4 worth the effort?

Yes. Tusk Act 4 features a completely revamped moveset, including the devastating "Lesson 5" ultimate, which can execute low-HP enemies and provides incredible utility in both PvE and PvP combat.

Can I get the Saint's items via trading?

While you can technically trade for items, the quest requires you to personally perform the tasks. Relying on trading may not always satisfy the quest triggers, so active participation is recommended.
