Cheesing The Yeti in Atlas

Killing the Yeti Boss

Welcome pathfinders to the most crucial piece of literature you'll ever read. The likes of Tolkien, Hemingway, and Mark Twain. Let me take you on a journey of harrowing cliff perching and recreational crouching.

As you may or may not know, there is a game called Atlas. This game is a webbed board of seamlessly adjacent servers. You can sail your boat or ride on top of a dinosaur. Whatever, you know just for shits and giggles. Well in this game, there is a boss. He looks much like that friendly guy Mike and Scully run into on Monsters Inc. with the urine Snow Cones. And this boss is just as yummy.

Now in theory, this boss is an epic battle meant to not be challenged on your own. Bringing your closest friends, you'll want to battle him with carbines, and maces, and stacked out in your most formidable of gear. All culminating in an achievement that not only inspires you with lore, but gives you a significant perk in the game. In theory at least.

Now in execution, the current tactic is a bit different. See in this cave there is a pretty little ice covered pillar. By jumping up in the right place on this pillar, you can stack many of your fine friends up high. In doing this, you avoid the boss yeti's fine teenage children yetis, that run around telling you how they don't want to clean up their room, and that they wish they had different parents. Now, since they can only sit and stare at your feet, due to your clever scaling of an icy pillar, you avoid having to fight them at all. And you do this for about 30 minutes. Now in this time that big scary boss is busy flailing ice blasts at you. But don't fear, that pillar is shielding you from all harm. Hooray!

Once your 30 minutes is up, the big boss kindly lets out a huge blast that is meant to punish you for not killing him and his teenage children. Well, what happens is that this blast tends to not currently kill, well, anyone. So you or a bunch of your good friends live to fight another day, and you have just beat the boss in our most dairy of ways. I do not know if this tactic is in the works to be fixed. Oh, But, for now, enjoy this tid bit of knowledge. And enjoy the anger of THE YETI!

And by the way, I wrote this whole article while me and my friends were cheesing the Yeti Boss. We did not survive. But I am confident this works. We are just a bit slower than your average Atlas player.
