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.

Alternative strategys.

Capture 2-4 Daedreams and a Hoocrates. Craft Daedream's palgear. Daedream's ability is they basically always are summoned next to you, Hoocrates ability boosts dark pals which Daedream is. You'll have to kind of kite the boss and switch out pals quick because Daedream isn't designed to actually tank hits and Hoocrates is only marginally better but you'll have all your Daedreams attacking at once the whole fight.

Otherwise, capture Chillet, the nearby field boss. He doesn't have any attacks that are super effective against Grizzbolt, but he'll occasionally land a freeze without having any elemental weakness like Pengullet has. This gives you a little more breathing room to target Zoe for extra damage as well as buying you time for your other pals to heal. Chillet is also an alpha, so his stats are pretty good.

You can use a team made up of multiple Cremis and other neutral pals. Cremis buffs all neutral pals and has sand blast, but is otherwise not a great pal. However they still will be landing sand blasts with buffed stats and some of the other neutral pals learn sand blast and are otherwise pretty good pals.

Generally no. There's 3 pal abilities that heal you and 2 pal abilities that give lifesteal, but 2 of the pal abilities that heal you are tied to extremely rare pals and the other one is kind of pathetic (might be better when you rank them up with the condenser). Overall I wouldn't plan on healing up during battle.

Interesting. I believe was trying to use Daedreams (not on boss yet) and never seen they really shoot at anyone. I believed it only works at close distance, what seemed not really useful. Need to try more.

For the Chillet I actually have it. Something to try. Thanks.

Thanks. Likely not useful for the boss fight which is also time-limited. But good to know

3 shot bow
4 daedreams with the necklace
1 boar w/ saddle so you can control him

occasionally hop on the boar to land your ground attacks i think the cooldown for mounted abilities is separate from unmounted abilities

let your boar tank occasionally, recall him if hes about to take damage

what makes 3 short bow better than the crossbow?

as for necklace - I don't know what it is

it shoots much faster. if you are having trouble surviving you need to use the pillars and dodge more. if you use the xbow you don't have as much time to dodge because it will interrupt your reload.

the necklace is the daedream necklace at level 8. the daedreams in your party will attack with you and don't have to be out.

Are you all on drugs ? Unless you are very young, this boss (and game) is super easy.
Just get a team of random pals, the crossbow and a shield.

Dodge attacks witch ctrl, get behind a pillar for the laser attack. It's gonna take a few minutes to kill him.

Aim the girl on his shoulder (or his head maybe I don't remember) to crit

i had 4 Daydreams at that time in my Party and with the Necklace they would be able to stay outside for a long time, in addition to that i ran around with my Direhowl and Spammed short Cooldown skills

Killed it in the next attempt, took 5 minutes.

No, it doesn't work as easily as you say. Crossbow does ~300 damage as crit. You need 100 crits to kill the boss. This is 1 crit every 6 seconds to get it done within 10 minutes. And I miss may be half of times, not saying I need to avoid boss attacks and sometimes simply hide.

Also the hit boxes are very bad. I hit the columns too often, when it shouldn't.

Foxsparks has been my MVP for most of the game. his palgear melts most things

Get a lama and just walk around the pillars while spitting him them to death.
Worked as a charm for me and had 2 minutes left.
