No, not a normal upgraded mandolin. Battle Mandolin drops from Rano field bosses (supposedly the Aardvarks) but I have yet to get one.

I was told it won't be released until G13s2 but it was shown in the NA G13 Hamlet Skills trailer at 0:33. Why would they show it if it wasn't released?

Can anyone confirm in any way shape or form if this is out yet? Or did it come out in G13s2 in KR? It's something I've really been looking forward to because it's the only string instrument that giants can play.

Thanks for any info.

Oh man a good question. Do you have any stats or anything on it? upgrade patterns or the like? o3o I'm interested by a tool I can play harmonies on and then bash skulls in with.

It wasn't a G13s1 skills trailer. Everything they showed in that trailer wasn't released. That's why it was a trailer.

I can't get much info on it at all. Google Translate doesn't work very well for me on the JP Wiki.

But what exactly wasn't released in S1 that was in the trailer? I believe I've seen everything in-game that was in the trailer except for Thames but I've heard it's obtainable/obtained.

That's my point.

I read on the wiki it's g14 but if you're sure it's g13 then I don't know.

I have some people telling me it's out, some telling it's s2 and now someone telling it's G14.

If no one really knows for sure, you're not helping. If you read it on the wiki can you at least post a pic of where you read it? Same guy who told me it was s2 said he read it on the wiki.

It's saying that Battle Mandolin can't be special upgraded till g14 it doesn't say it comes in g14

If you look up Battle Mandolin on wiki it doesn't say anything about it being not implented so best way will be to wait till you see someone with it

Yeah it says the exact same thing to the composite bow and crossbow and we all know those have been out since forever. That's the upgrades page.

Hopefully I'll be the first one with it. I've been hunting these field bosses since G13 came out.

I was just wondering if any KR/JP player could confirm when they came out so that I'm not wasting my time. Or if someone who could get the JP Wiki to translate well enough.
