Board 8 > Finally reached a battle in DQXI that I will have to fight a 2nd time (spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

That damn Dora-in-Grey

I mean i dunno where i am in the game right now, or rather how far, but everything up until this point has been a cake walk.

I was dead in like 8 Dora turns because of the charming moves.

I'm not concerned going back in, i know what party i should bring.

I'm just really annoyed.

edit: annoyed is the wrong word, i'm glad to finally feel challenged actually.

I dont think so. I think I chose whatever was normal.

well if i dont beat it in my second run i'm guessing i should go back into the dungeon and maybe level up, i literally ran through the entire dungeon cause i was tired.

do you want strategy advice? i can tell you what worked for me (which i found by googling and trying various results) and i'm sure it'd work

well what killed me was the fire and the charm.

so I'm guessing fire hymn and sylvando slap thing is necessary in the battle. I went in guns blazing with Hero, Erik and heros "sister" forget her name. and the healer.

and was wrecked.

i actually don't remember if i was smart enough to use fire hymn lol, that might've been at a time when i was still like "oh her top tree is nothing but hymns that's boring" and mentally wrote them off

but the key for me is snap crackle and poof from serena, i just used erik/sylvando/serena/rab, serena casts snap crackle poof on sylvando asap and never lets it drop, so sylvando can always slap people.

erik can use his seal spells to deal DoT so you can then just focus on healing/surviving with the others, and she'll die eventually. and if you do have spare turns, you can oomph and use poison/vicitimzer or the sleep variant. (and the poison works great as a DoT too)

but yeah i guess the main thing is get snap crackle poof if you don't have that

snap crackle poof

yeah i dont think i've learned that yet.

Good thing i'm in a dungeon with a ton of high exp. baddies

and an auto heal / save spot right outside the bosses chamber...

which i have to say, is absurd, why would she put that there?

Its at the bottom right of Serena's skill tree

Ahhh, not a learned magic spell. gotcha.
