Nymelle boss *spoiler* strategies wanted.

[Dracon]

I'll try to ak a spoiler free as possible:
Second character I have problems with him on a melee character. Even the Older younger sister has problems with him. The golems are hard but possible.

Last time I thought him I just went up the ladder each time I was almost done and his adds wouldn't regenerate. This time around though, I manged to defeat the adds together with the older younger sister, but that boss is even a match for her.

Note: This supposed to be a lv 4 Dungeon, and my Lv 11 Demigod Paladin (no Jure yet) and the sister have problems there... I can't imagine floor hopping is the intended strategy here, so how are you supposed to beat him as a melee, when he evades worse than a ghost?

Here some stats of my Paladin(unbuffed)
Doge 20, PV 76; Str 30, End 26, Dex 14, Per 26, Will 18, Mag 12, CHAR 25.

Hit Chance: 86 with Shield ; 115 without.

its all about items and prep (i havent done this one yet but have finished lvl 13 and below)

if you have cash you can save scum the thief town and buy yourself a trex or high level pet
and you can sometimes luck out and get good DV/PV armor from one of the shops for like 500-1000ish

get weapons that do elemental damage

you can make your own pots using sand and a water source (like at base) and throw bad pots at it til it doesnt move

theres a mod that gives you stat values for mobs you highlight telling you everything youd ever want to know about them

one thing ive noticed is levels are misleading as stats are whats important

[Dracon]

The main problem with him is that he can easily crit himself through your armor while you can't hit him even with buffs on (At least as a Paladin)

[Stormlock]

My best tip is to throw potions. Confuse, blindness, slow, all that crap works on bosses just fine in my experience. Weakness spell is amazing for enemies that are hard to hit or damage as well; it cuts both DV and PV in half.

[Minterfresh]

Summon a bunch of Bits before the fight?

[Lord Ulysses]

Best strategy I used for them was use short teleportation scroll to get distance from them so you don't get hit by the aoe, use a summon animal staff to add more things to distract them including a party of 5 people with you then cast weakness spell on main boss and get a good boomerang and go to town on him with it you will eventually bring him down.

[Mr C.Folt Scruff]

i have the most easiest boss fight first time fighting him because the golem actualy join me because of Mani

[Ginrikuzuma]

I kinda tanked from the stairs for high ground bonus and slowly wittled the golems. if I or one of my companions were low on HP I would climb the stairs as I was already on them and then just meditate back to full hp then go back and poke some more.
The main guy himself was rough though I think I threw potions at him and used weakness?

If by some luck you stumble upon an intonation of lightning scroll use it on yourself against the golems. they have a natural weakness to lightning damage and intonation gives you an temporary lightning enchantment on attacks

other than that make sure you work on your pets equipment. Gear them up decently and maybe acquire a few more allies or summons

[The Grand Mugwump]

Double your stats. If you're having trouble against the boss, then come back to it later. As for strategies...

I made sure to kill the ice spirits he summons ASAP and then the other units with him (which don't respawn). Ice spirit damage (and especially their shatter due to cold) adds up as their numbers increase.

I also recommend acquiring and using the two hands skill by having one melee weapon and no shield equipped. It seems to be the best way to deal lots of melee damage.

Various debuffs like weakness or thrown poisons you've found also work pretty well on the boss.

The biggest obstacle to overcome is his ability to endlessly cure his own wounds.

The summon animals spell is pretty handy for mass producing chaff to help draw fire away, as well as bringing a large party.

I beat him at 25 STR/END, but I lucked upon a really good weapon and acquired enough blessings on my gear to get my PV up to around 60. The weapon let me barely outdamage the boss' self healing.

(If you're wondering how good that weapon I lucked upon is, let's just say I went from hitting for 40 damage per hit before I found it to hitting for 120 damage per hit. The instant I found it, I thought to myself "Okay, let's try that boss again. Fifth time's the charm!")

[DAOWAce]

There's strategy?

Unhelpful, but I didn't do the MSQ for a long time (honestly didn't even realize I eventually got the key). Had 5 companions (all starting ones + older sister) as a hillfolk warrior (earth god) and just autobattled it to death. Definitely overgeared/leveled for it (assuming it doesn't scale). 50 STR/END, 51 DV 97 PV.

Actually, where do you see your level? I just see "depth" on the load screen (30), but that's not level. Feat points? Says 21.

The main dungeon before the sealed gate is definitely level 4.. but below it is definitely not, which should be evident of how long it takes to get the key. Probably more around 20.

[Iyasenu]

Yeah, having an ally or summon that worships Mani of Machine, or even being a follower yourself can really turn the tide in that fight.
Being down one enemy and up one (sort of powerful at that point) ally was helpful back when I did it, since my starting puppy pet was randomly a Mani worshiper.

[flashugem]

i just played for relax, than when i tired from this, i go for main quest with already full equip near 100+ in stats with 180 evasion skill +180 ultimate evasion. Also rare chance to get ring of speed from black merchant in rogue city (forgot name) with some invest in. Blind potions + hero buff scrolls, Older younger sister on tank, also was lucky to catch metal bell and metal pupit + putit in amber. + ruby equip for hp burst. When come to boss, even didnt remember any difficulty. Also fairy got pet is nice on simbiote. Tentacles do nice debuffs like poison.

[Mr Windblade]

I used a gun with copper bullets for the lightning damage and a Bear Cub wielding an Obsidian Claymore (I call him the bearzerker) and it wasn't that bad.

Without my companion in my first game, it was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ nightmare and I used rods of teleport and short teleport to keep myself away so I could heal. I needed 250 silk bandages and 750 rounds of ammo by myself.

[Waffles]

It's all about preparation ultimately. If you can't beat it, hit the gym. By that, I mean eat good food, get better gear, level more skills.

[Drazhya]

summoning shadows is pretty good at low levels, if you find the scrolls or wands. I also recruited Older Younger Sister from Mysilia for this fight - she starts at a high-ish level for this stage of the game.

[Saryn]

I used a ton of rods of summon animal and mobbed him with animals only for the one that killed him to end up being An Alien. Just save scum a rod of summon monster till you get a high level creature.
