How to beat thjis hell on earth challenge before leaving with the ship? i tried everything for 3 hour straight but ca't beat it. Playing on hard

Leave with the ship and come back later with more better skills.

Each of the Greater Aeries have a gimmick that typically can't be surpassed with levels alone. The Moon's gimmick is that everything will always one-shot you, but you will also one-shot everything.

Open with Moon's Elemental Break to time-stop everything, and use whoever attacks the fastest (probably Morely) to dash around and one-tap everything around you. You only have two waves and the second can be instant-cleared with your CS skill. Past that, it's retrying until you get lucky enough for the AI to not immediately kill whoever you're controlling.

The lesser trials are more typical combat challenges, yeah. If you can't manage them right now, you can come back later to do them without issue. Nothing in the game is permanently missable, least that I've found.

The lesser aerie are pretty much the same. Do the first wave normally and one hit the second wave with the class skill.

Just wait till you unlock elemental break and pretty much steam roll every aerie with the wind version unless the aerie is a wind one. You can come back to this one around mid level 20s.

I tried everything, also your tactic, but the dps is not high enough on hard. I guess i come back later.

[marsHm311oW]

You can change the element to increase your dmg. Morley and Palmeena does the highest class skill dmg of all classes.

chain seeds are very good skills (you can double cast spells of the same element of the seed). but the moon one is actually the least useful, because pretty much no monster is weak to moon damage, so you would use any element but moon for casters.
The only time you would double cast a moon spell would be for the half banish spell, but you won't get it until chapter 7, so you'll have a lot more tools to beat the aerie by then.

About that aerie, the key is to have the light or dark elementals, to use their unleash to deal a lot of damage to the first pack, and then use the class strike to finish the second one.

I remember doing this on Hard on my second try, try to enter with 100% Class Strike ready, I used Val in his wind class, use one of his Saber either one most ennemies are weak to or neutral to get the 20% damage increase, my main way to attack was holding the Square button (pretty good AoE) and dodge canceling into the Triangle attack, once the reinforcement come throw the Class Strike, should kill most of the ennemies and the one surviving should be damage enough to clear the fight before the time runs out.

Did i missed a useable seed then? I tried so much different things but always run short on time :P

Take it off of hard, what I did when I came across the aires that were just too hard. I do not feel the game was balanced around the hard difficulty for those trials.
