Where to get Once Human Nutcracker Deviant

The Nutcracker Deviant in Once Human can be obtained from the Forsaken Monolith by defeating the Forsaken Giant boss, also known as Mensdevoran. It's an extremely challenging encounter, not because it requires high DPS, but due to its mechanical complexity, as you can only deal damage to the boss in small chunks between major mechanics. This battle can be done solo or with up to four players, with each additional player significantly increasing the boss's HP.

After you defeat the boss, there is a chance to obtain the Nutcracker Deviant. While it's not an extremely rare Deviant, you might have to defeat the boss multiple times to obtain it due to the RNG involved.

How to use Nutcracker Deviant in Once Human?

Place the Once Human Nutcracker Deviant in an Isolated Securement Unit to activate it in your base. This Territory Deviant will protect your base from intruders by acting as a mobile turret, provided its Deviant Power remains above the threshold, which is 30 unless manually adjusted. Once its power is depleted, it will become dormant unless refilled by consuming Deviant Mood.

To maintain a high Deviant Mood, you can place the Isolated Securement Unit in a Securement Environment, which varies for each Deviant. For the Nutcracker, this means placing it near Green Light, providing it with a toy, and connecting the Securement Unit to electricity. Additionally, the Rebecca Deviant can help you recharge the mood of this Deviant much more quickly.
