Festering Gel Deviant Obtainment Method
Starting off, you’ll want to progress through the main story of Once Human. Do so all the way until you beat the Welcome Back story mission.
Once you do so, you should get a task where you’ll need to capture the Festering Gel Deviant. Even if you don’t, just make sure to complete the story mission we mentioned.
After that, head to the Monolith of Greed. You can find the location on the Once Human map below.
When you reach this area, make your way to the Rift Beacon there. Interact with it to open up the boss menu.
Here, you want to select the Ravenous Hunter boss fight. Make sure to bring plenty of ammo for this fight as you’ll be using it a lot. Also, make sure your level requirements will allow you to fight it comfortably.
Your goal will be to beat the Ravenous Hunter boss. The boss fight is pretty simple. All you need to do is unload your bullets into it until it becomes immune.
After that, destroy the two orbs on each side to remove its immunity. Keep repeating the steps until you have killed the boss.
When the boss is dead, the Festering Gel Deviant should appear there, ready for you to capture. It is possible that the Deviant may have only a chance to appear there, but we cannot confirm this.
Make sure to place this Deviant in an Isolated Securement Unit at your base after you have captured it.
How To Use Festering Gel
Now that you have the Festering Gel Deviant, we’ll briefly look at what it does in Once Human. Essentially, it is a Deviant that you’ll want to use in Combat.
It is considered one of the best Deviants currently in the game. This is because this Deviant can not only heal you and protect you, but also heals your Sanity.
Additionally, it also provides two Combat options. They are the following:
- Build Fortification
- The Deviant will form a barrier that you can hide behind
- It will heal you and your Sanity when you are near it
- Flawless Fortification
- You can pick up the Deviant and throw it at enemies to knock them back
- It forms a Fortification where it drops.
As you can see, this Deviant can not only be used to heal and protect you, but to also push other enemies away!
That’s everything you need to know about how you can get the Festering Gel Deviant in Once Human. Since it’s considered an S Tier Deviant, we strongly suggest you get your hands on it. Be sure to keep an eye on your level when you go for the boss fight too.
