Kindness Hard to Refuse (High-Risk) Overview

**Kindness Hard to Refuse (High-Risk)** replays **Cardboard Castle** in the alley **behind 2-Four Mart** (New Herland District). Unlock after Common Kindness Hard to Refuse and **Hunter Level 10** — lower than most High-Risk lines. Start from Anomagram → **High-Risk** tab. High-Risk clears do not repeat the Common commission's one-time story rewards. New to this anomaly? Start with Kindness Hard to Refuse for the one-time Common version.

How to Start & Clear Each Tier

• Clear the **Common Kindness Hard to Refuse** commission at least once
• Reach **Hunter Level 10** — the High-Risk tab stays locked until this threshold
• Open the world map → **Anomaly Commissions** → **High-Risk** tab
• Select **Kindness Hard to Refuse (High-Risk)** from the list
• Pick a **difficulty tier (1–6)** — each tier raises boss level and adds mechanics on tiers 5–6
• Confirm to enter the anomaly arena (you teleport directly; no Common puzzle replay required)
• Defeat the boss and claim **first-clear rewards for that tier** — repeat for higher tiers
• Teleport loads the **2-Four Mart back-alley arena** with Cardboard Castle
• Six tiers scale boss level; tiers **5–6** add standard High-Risk modifiers
• First clear per tier grants Annulith, Fons, and Peril Hunt Medals

Cardboard Castle — Weakness & Strategy

**Boss:** Cardboard Castle · **Weakness:** Lakshana. This enemy is weak to Lakshana.

• Use **Lakshana** DPS — the boss is mostly stationary but hits hard at range
• Dodge **flung cardboard projectiles**; they track slowly but cover the narrow alley
• Close distance during cast windows; prolonged ranged fights drag out Overload stacks on tier 5+
• Bring a healer or shield for chip damage while you learn projectile spacing
• **Overload** — boss stacks Overload up to 3 times; at max it enters a short enraged burst with higher damage
• **Flash Moment** — a brief damage window after specific attack cues; burst DPS during the flash
• **Hunter's Gaze** — extended vulnerability after a successful parry or dodge counter

High-Risk Rewards

• Annulith ×10
• Fons ×2400
• Peril Hunt Medal ×25
