How to defeat the 1st Boss?

[VDmitry]

I'm at day 26, player lvl 15, base lvl 10. When should I expect to defeat the 1st Boss reasonably?

The guy has 30K HP. Crossbow hits ~300 in head. It's 100 arrows at best. But the problem is that I'm not able to survive for that long.

I believe I can only summon 1 pal at a time, right? And can't have more than 5 with me. So they don't stay for long there too.

Any advice?

UPDATE: Killed in 5 minutes.

I figured my main problem in previous fights. You have pal commands/emotions (button 4). If you said once "don't attackl" - they will never do it again. Once I commanded to start the fighting it became much more easier.

This is 2nd time I see mentioning of ground and fruits. What are these? If ground relates to some type of damage and boss has some restistances - how can I see those?

You serious?
It is known earth beats electric type just like water beats fire type.

Check your paldeck to see what type which pal is. You can also just test it out to see which type of damage displays the "very effective" text in the bottom left.

Well, I see. There is Earth type. I believe it's the same as Ground one )

Well, I've made another one attempt. Bringing 5 lvl 15 pals with me. 2 of them - boar and dear - had earth damage... And recalling wounded pals.

I survived for 7 minutes, dealt ~60% of boss health damage. So not enough even if I'd survive for all 10 minutes.

Boar does 400 damage, what is a bit better than the crossbow. But not enough.

One big problem I have with my pals is that they don't want to fight themselves. I can ride the boar and shoot with its abilities, but itself it doesn't fight, simply soaking the boss damage.

Every element type has a weakness, here is a chart to show what is best to use for them:

For instance if the thing you are fighting is water based then electric is it's weakness and water is the weakness to fire based pals, etc.

But how do I know what type the boss is?

day 26 and only 15? Ok, you play like you want but... yea just no. I hit 15 around day 8ish and i consider THAT SLOW AF.

Beating that cute girl down so you can catch her took me and my GF quiet some arrow's and our 2 best Pal's. Its more about "hiding" and switching agro than openly stand there and fight her (sadly.. would have loved a better RPG system than "it outlevels you it will 2 shot you no matter what" (good thing mods are around AND you can change parameters easily). Alone? Not tried, but i think it will be equaly easy. Just let your pal tank or best YOU tank it while your pal does the hard hitting. Recomend that blue dragon you can get on lvl 11 for it. Its moveset can be quiet helpfull AND devastating especiel since his base attack has the hidden property of SETTING THEM ON FIRE

Sounds like a bug. Heard there is some bug that makes it so pals just plain don't fight for some reason.

I think there should be symbol on screen next to the lifebar. Grizzbolt is electric type, which along with dragon is the rarest type in the game.

Earth/Ground type attacks are more effective here. A good chunk of pals learn sand blast at level 7, and a few more learn some type of ground attack by level 15.

Worth pointing out ALL of Grizzbolt's attacks are electric type. This will not be the case for future tower bosses who have attacks of different elements.

They take extra damage from Grizzbolt. At the very least Pengullet might freeze Grizzbolt if you are lucky, but otherwise it's not really worth it.

- go tame the world boss chilly (the blue level 11 snake thingy
- get a daydream and craft its collar
- use a crossbow

all you need, just shoot him in the head, and just run behind pillars. That boss is not hard to do, did it myself yesterday, first try was a big succes barely scratched me, while i had agro for most of the time..

I definitely did 2 things wrong.

1. Catching pals (below 10) is great EXP boost. I mostly catched 1 per type to see their abilities and didn't capture them in mass.

2. I thought to catch one I need to have free space in my team. Actually I don't need that. They simply appear at my base.

Now I can take EXP much faster.

well, may be weird question, but can I heal myself during combat?
