People don't make a habit of visiting here. If you're lucky enough to make it to Mongrel, you're stuck in Mongrel.

Shinobi Guard

Mongrel, the sole settlement of eponymous faction, is located in the middle of the Fog Islands. It is an isolated, small hideout mostly composed of various outlaws[1] and Tech Hunters[2][3]. It is also mentioned to be running low on food supplies[4].

Due to its location, it can be extremely dangerous to attempt to reach it. Players may lose characters to the Fogmen on the journey if not careful. However, once you reach the town you will be protected by many powerful gate guards. Purchasing a Map to Mongrel prior to journey can help to stay on the right path.

The town itself has good variety of shops, many having goods not available in The Holy Nation. Beep, Crumblejon, Infinite Wingwang, and Shryke are Unique Recruits found in Mongrel, either in one of the bars or wandering the town.

The town guards are in constant conflict with waves of Fogmen patrols attempting to breach the gates and carry off prisoners (potentially including the player). While the guards are powerful foes, it nevertheless pays to be vigilant while visiting, as Fogmen sometimes slip through the defenses.

Many Holy Nation Outlaws[5][6] try to make their way to Mongrel, although they are often killed and devoured by the surrounding horde of Fogmen.

Tips[]

Care should be taken with regards to sleeping squad members as certain Fogmen could slip through the defenses and simply pick up the resting squad member and run off, characters cannot resist while being carried so it would require another nearby member to take down the said Fogmen kidnapper.
