Looking to unlock the powerful Garou ability in A Universal Time (AUT)? You’ve come to the right place! Garou, introduced in Update 5.6, is one of the most sought-after uncommon abilities that combines devastating martial arts combos with incredible mobility. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of obtaining Garou, whether you prefer the direct purchase route or the challenging quest method.

I’ve spent countless hours researching the most efficient strategies, gathering information from official sources, and testing different approaches to bring you this complete walkthrough. Whether you’re a seasoned AUT player or just starting your journey, this guide will help you master the Garou obtainment process and dominate the battlefield with this incredible ability.

Quick Overview: Garou Obtainment Methods

Method	Cost/Requirements	Difficulty	Time Required	Recommended For
Shop Purchase	700 UPoints	Easy	2 minutes	Players with sufficient UPoints
Quest Method	1M UCoins + 1M UShards + Dragon ability	Hard	2-4 hours	Players wanting challenge & cost efficiency

Method 1: Direct Shop Purchase (The Easy Way)

The fastest way to obtain Garou is through the in-game shop. Here’s exactly how to do it:

Step-by-Step Shop Purchase Guide

Launch A Universal Time and enter the game world
Press M to open the main menu
Navigate to the “Abilities” tab (newly added in Update 5.6)
Locate Garou in the uncommon abilities section
Click “Purchase” and confirm the 700 UPoints transaction
Enjoy your new Garou ability!

Pro Tip: Before purchasing, make sure you have enough storage space in your ability inventory. If it’s full, you’ll need to clear some slots first.

Method 2: The Quest Route (The Challenging Path)

For players who want to save UPoints and enjoy a challenging questline, the EpicNitronX203 quest route offers a more rewarding experience. This method requires significant preparation but provides great satisfaction upon completion.

Part 1: Quest Preparation

Starting Requirements:

1 Million UCoins
1 Million UShards
Dragon ability (must own and have equipped)
Ability storage space for Garou

Money-Saving Tip: Use the active code “GAROU” (expires February 20th) to get 100k UCoins and 100k UShards! This reduces your grinding time significantly.

Part 2: Initiating the Quest

Locate EpicNitronX203 NPC – Found near The Desert entrance, across from the Basketball Court waypoint
Talk to EpicNitronX203 with the required currencies
Select “Garou Quest” from the dialogue options
Pay the 1M UCoins + 1M UShards fee to begin the questline
Receive quest objectives from EpicNitronX203

Part 3: Journey of the Hero Hunter – Complete Quest Guide

You must defeat all the following enemies using your Dragon ability. This is crucial – using other abilities won’t count toward quest progress!

Quest Objective 1: Defeat 10 Thugs

Difficulty: ⭐☆☆☆☆
Time: 5-10 minutes

Thugs spawn in common combat areas throughout the map. I recommend the following locations for efficient farming:

Main City Area – High spawn rate
Desert Region – Less crowded, easier to group
Industrial Zone – Multiple spawn points

Strategy: Use Dragon’s area attacks to group and eliminate multiple thugs simultaneously. This objective serves as a warm-up for the more challenging bosses ahead.

Quest Objective 2: Defeat Sanji

Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆
Time: 10-15 minutes
Special Requirement: Cookbook item to spawn

Sanji Boss Strategy:

Spawn Method: Obtain a Cookbook item (may require farming drops)
Positioning: Maintain medium distance to avoid his devastating combo attacks
Timing: Punish heavily after he misses animation-heavy skills
Dragon Tips: Use Dragon’s mobility to dodge his cutscene attacks
Warning: Sanji deals massive damage if caught in his full combo – prioritize defensive play

Quest Objective 3: Defeat Minos Prime

Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Time: 15-20 minutes

Minos Prime Boss Strategy:

Key Challenge: Resists stuns and spams aggressive attacks
Avoid: Don’t rely on stun-lock strategies – they won’t work
Recommended Approach:
- Use high mobility to dodge skill spam
- Perfect block when possible to create openings
- Focus on burst damage rather than extended combos
- Patience is more valuable than aggression in this fight
Dragon Advantage: Dragon’s mobility shines here for dodging Minos’s rapid attacks

Quest Objective 4: Defeat The Oni

Difficulty: ⭐⭐☆☆☆
Time: 8-12 minutes

Oni Boss Strategy:

Good News: Oni is vulnerable to stuns, unlike Minos Prime
Optimal Strategy:
- Use stun-lock abilities to maintain pressure
- Chain combos effectively while he’s stunned
- Rotate Dragon’s cooldowns for continuous pressure
- This fight is more about execution than survival
Dragon Synergy: Dragon’s stun abilities work perfectly against Oni

Quest Objective 5: Defeat The Denizen of Hell

Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Time: 20-30 minutes
Additional Cost: Monochromic Orb + 5 Million ECoins

Denizen of Hell – The Ultimate Challenge:

Spawn Requirements:

Monochromic Orb (rare item)
5 Million ECoins (substantial investment)

Boss Characteristics:

Extremely high health pool
Devastating counter-attacks
Complex attack patterns
Instant kill potential if careless

Winning Strategy:

True Damage Focus: Use abilities with true damage (like Virgil-style kits) to bypass defenses
Combo Maintenance: Keep him in extended combos to limit counterattacks
Resource Management: Don’t waste your strongest moves – save them for key moments
Position Control: Corner him when possible to limit mobility
Patience: This fight may take multiple attempts – don’t get discouraged

Dragon-Specific Tips:

Maximize Dragon’s true damage components
Use mobility to avoid his area attacks
Save ultimate abilities for critical moments

Part 4: Claiming Your Reward

After defeating all required bosses:

Return to EpicNitronX203
Select “Garou Quest” option again
Receive Garou ability (ensure you have storage space)
Celebrate your achievement!

Activate H (rage mode) when at 100 heat for maximum impact

Cost Analysis: Which Method is Better?

Shop Purchase Analysis

Pros:

No quest requirements
Guaranteed result
Time-efficient

Cons:

No sense of achievement

Quest Method Analysis

Pros:

Cost-effective (uses in-game currency)
Challenging and rewarding
Teaches boss mechanics

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Garou worth getting in A Universal Time?

Absolutely! Garou is an exceptional uncommon ability that offers incredible combo potential and versatility. His fast attack speed, stunning abilities, and powerful ultimate make him valuable for both PvP and PvE content. The ability to chain combos seamlessly while maintaining pressure makes Garou a top-tier choice for aggressive players.

Can I get Garou without the Dragon ability?

No, you cannot complete the quest method without owning the Dragon ability. All quest objectives specifically require defeating enemies using Dragon. However, you can still purchase Garou directly from the shop for 700 UPoints without needing Dragon.

How long does it take to complete the Garou quest?

Based on my experience: The quest typically takes 2-4 hours for well-prepared players. Breakdown:

Thugs: 5-10 minutes
Sanji: 10-15 minutes
Minos Prime: 15-20 minutes
Oni: 8-12 minutes
Denizen of Hell: 20-30 minutes
Plus travel time and preparation

What’s the easiest way to get 1 Million UCoins and UShards?

Most efficient methods I’ve found:

Use active codes (like “GAROU” for 100k each)
Complete daily quests consistently
Farm high-value enemies in efficient locations
Trade with other players in the community
Participate in events for bonus rewards

Can I retry boss fights if I fail?

Yes, absolutely! All quest bosses can be respawned and challenged again. However, note that:

Denizen of Hell requires paying the spawn cost each attempt (Monochromic Orb + 5M ECoins)
Other bosses have free respawn mechanics
No progress is lost when failing – you just retry that specific objective

Is Garou better than other uncommon abilities?

In my opinion: Garou ranks among the best uncommon abilities due to:

Superior combo potential compared to most abilities
Excellent mobility and pressure capabilities
Versatile moveset effective in all situations
Low heat costs for sustained combat
Strong ultimate ability for burst damage

However, the “best” ability depends on your playstyle – Garou excels for aggressive combo-focused players.
