That Dark Turtlez battle...

[Shan]

Pure insanity.

Beat it at level 71, with unoptimized equipment. Took me close to 45 minutes. Went through all my Life Bottles because I forgot Seraph auto-res themselves if they switch out when KO'ed.

Curse the AI for trying to face-tank lethal attacks >.<

Any tips then for beating him with a bit more ease? (i'm not there yet but i'll eventually be :s)

Don't go into the battle like I did, for one
I had to use an All-Divide to even survive his Mystic Arte (which I could only survive while Armatized). Melon Gels also help a ton.

He doesn't resist any element, so get gear with +Crustecean ability, it reduces damage from the Turtlez and increases your own. Use the Water Armitization and cast Trinity Arrow since it hits it's weakness easily. Use attacks that stagger him, which won't always work, but at least he won't combo you to death.

Also don't rely on the AI, as it *will* die, and often at that.

That's all I got, really. Have fun beating this Lv. 99, 88888 HP beast.

Also, this. Dodge everything you can, and be glad he doesn't use Seraphic Artes

We should just recruit him to fight the final boss. Turtlez would win for sure lol

I didn't know about the fight and went in blind at lvl 50 after not having saved in almost an hour. Had to turn it down to simple but I got through it.

Psssh... do it on chaos. :P

Also... Shatterfang. Get a combo started, armatize with Lailah, Nova -> win.

Alright, is there a chaos club for us? This turtlez was hell lot harder than the post game dungeons.

I armatized with Mikleo, and kept my distance using only long range attacks. Do two normal attacks and end the combo with the Trinity Arrow arte, that combination did around 1200dmg each time (and doing trinity arrow last keeps the cast time down). Keep it up and eventually he will die.
When he comes to attack you, dodge left/right and then backstep the hell away from him since it's over if he uses his mystic arte. Just have to be patient and not screw up dodging his attack.
The AI characters will die pretty fast, and whenever a seraph comes back to life they die pretty quickly again. Luckily the turtle seems to prioritize the AI characters when they come back to life so it lets you relax a bit.

He wasn't what you'd consider weak, no.
I had a harder time with him than the end-boss whateverhisnamewas, but I had an even
harder time with Rose and Zaveid ("friendly battle" on the bridge outside of ladylake)..

I eventually did Rose and Zaveid on Normal, Turtlez on Moderate, and end-boss on Hard.
The only reason for the latter was that I forgot what difficulty I had it on..
(it was increased to get better equipment).

Btw, I began the game at normal difficulty.

I beat him at level 45-50. Takes a while but set ai to defensive and armatize mikeo. Use ai as bait because he will mainly focus on them before attacking u. Use maelstrom to immobilize him then hit him with a saints arrow combo. Uses a lot of sc but it's an easy 1000-1500 damage. Hope this helps
