Yang's Tale - Red Dragon?

[Zerro0713]

Greetings,

I hear rumors this monster is tough. Is that true? If so, what's the strategy to murder it for the Beastiary Achievement?

Edit: Okay I encountered this thing at level 18 - 22 and it just murdered my party. I don't see any fair solution to handle the thing. I don't get why they put an extremely hard, unbeatable enemy this early in the game and doesn't have a guarantee awesome drop.

So tips?

Hmm.. I don't recall my exact procedure, but it involved finishing the tale then coming back. If you reload your final save, you will have Yang and Ursula alone, but should have a few more levels.

I managed to kill one at around level 30. I had Yang use 'Cover Counter' on Ursula, then defend the entire battle. Ursula used Chakra every round, on whoever needed it the most. I may have used a spider silk on it to slow it down as well (are they available in that Tale?)

The Red Dragon will alternate between attacking (once or twice, I forget), then using Thermal Rays. When he attacks, if he targets Ursula, Yang will block then counter attack. If not, Yang will just be hit. The key to the whole thing was to have better speed than the dragon, so Ursula could keep them both healed up.

2x Ice Claw with Yang was my setup, I believe. It worked, though it was fairly slow. I was focusing on a safe way to take it down, and there is probably room for improvement here.

So you're saying it's better to have just Yang and Ursula in the party than the other 2 Monks?

[Calandril]

Tough to say. It was easier to plan and keep track of, at least.

The reason I tried it with just the two of them is that Ursula learns a new ability at the end of the Tale that does decent damage against the Red Dragon, and I thought it would help. I didn't end up using it, though.

The other monks do have a specific level cap (20, maybe?), so they aren't as useful. Either way you'll need to level up a bit before you can take it on, I think. I just tried at the end of the tale so I'd have to spend less time grinding levels.

i did it with yang/ursula both around 30 and i just spammed twin fang frenzy on auto battle, finished the fight with both of them around 100-200 hp , killed it on my first attempt while 30.

i also used defensive items over the ones with more dmg......i dont know if more damage would have worked better as i didnt try

[Zerro0713]

So are you saying you went back after receiving the Gold Completion Star? Is that possible?

[Cow]

yes

[Zerro0713]

Where would you say is the best location to grind levels?

[Mr. Manual]

In the Adamant Isle. Just grind there, then complete the story and reload the save you create. You'll have all your levels. Just remember to kill off the monks while grinding so they don't steal any exp.

for leveling i just used right outside the crater to try to get either bomb or goblin to drop, hoping to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, it didnt drop though
