Arknights: Shay, IS#2 Hidden Boss 1 Guide and Easy Clear Tips
This video provides tips on how to easily clear Hidden Boss 1 in Arknights IS#4 and how to take the hidden route. It explains in detail how to utilize the Time-Limited Spaces from the 1st to 4th floors, how to deal with the Trotter gimmick, recommended Operators, and precautions.
1. 🦋 How to Take the Hidden Boss 1 Route: Utilizing Elemental Buffs and Understanding the Trotter Gimmick
- ✅ A butterfly event occurs in the Legendary Node inside the Biome (requires 30 Elemental Buffs).
- ✅ Trotters fall on the battle map, and you must reduce the Trotter's HP by 50% to confirm the Hidden Boss 1 route.
- ⚠️ Trotters fall where Operators and small mobs are most clustered, and allies within range are forcibly retreated.
- ✅ Operators that deal damage in a short time (Cynthia, Wisher's S3, etc.) are recommended.
- ✅ Trotter HP is shared, so it is not necessary to reduce 50% at once.

2. 💡 Hidden Route Confirmation Tip: Utilizing Time-Limited Spaces and Acquiring Tokens
- ✅ Focus on using the shop and lighting up nodes in the first floor's Time-Limited Space.
- ✅ In the 2nd and 3rd floor's Time-Limited Spaces, only receive candles instead of entering the Biome.
- ✅ Use candles to light up the map and search for Legendary Nodes in the 4th floor's final Time-Limited Space.
- ✅ Acquiring tokens that give 99 cost is recommended as it is useful for preventing annihilation and Biome battles.

3. ⚔️ Easy Tips to Beat Hidden Boss 1: Securing HP and Ignoring Left-Side Mobs Strategy
- ✅ Secure at least 18 HP or more (20 or more recommended). Replenish HP/Shields at the tavern in the Time-Limited Space.
- ⚠️ If you defeat the left-side mobs, the boss will use clone jutsu, so it is much easier to ignore the left-side mobs.
- ✅ When using Wisher, be careful not to kill the left-side mobs with the S3 splash damage.

4. 🍖 Trotter Gimmick Guide: Positioning and Usage
- ✅ Trotters fall where Operators and small mobs are most clustered.
- ✅ Priority 1: The most units within a 3x3 range, Priority 2: The closest target from the bottom left.
- ⚠️ Be careful as the Trotter's position may be incorrect due to Wisher's S3 summons.
- ✅ Adjust the Trotter's position by utilizing Lydian's S2 summons, Fast-Redeploy Operators, Vengadorla, etc.
- ✅ In Time Attack, you can also cluster allies to increase the Trotter summoning speed and force in damage.

6. ⚠️ Additional Notes and Relic Recommendations
- ⚠️ All allies are forcibly retreated when the boss's HP is at 50%. Prepare Operators to redeploy after retreat.
- ⚠️ If a Trotter falls near Diochan, damage taken is reduced by 75%. Remove Diochan first.
- ✅ Wall's Eye Relic: Improves survivability against boss AoE (especially Medics).
