so i guess i shouldnt even bother bringing prawns to this fight since he will just wipe them all out anyway iv tried picking my main prawn up and throwing her to get her away from the insta killing 3 year taking cheese he pulls at the near start of the fight...

is there a way i can save at least my main prawn for this fight or is it just intended to be soloed, if i give her mushrooms will she know to sprint away and regain her stamina as well?

His first form can't necessarily. Once he starts marching to the center of the room, he uses the vortex, yes. But it can be interrupted if you jump on him and start smashing him in the face.

His second form the vortex either cannot, or is significantly more difficult to interrupt. If you sprint away far enough though, your pawns will sprint with you. The strategy I've seen is to have a party stamina curative for when he uses the vortex, because you base stamina (and that of your pawns) will not be enough. But as long as you sprint away constantly, you won't get pulled in.

so if i give her stamina with a group curative will she at least run away as long as i keep burning through items?
also i was wondering and i doubt it but if i put a wake stone in her inventory would she use it upon death?

and thanks for the tips too

What do you mean by " insta killing 3 year taking cheese he pulls at the near start of the fight"? There's no such thing, at least not at the start.

Probably best to hold and use the group curative yourself rather than giving it to a pawn. They use stamina curatives a bit too liberally. I think the item that works best is Mushroom Potage https://dragonsdogma.fandom.com/wiki/Mushroom_Potage.

Hpyothetically, you only need constant stamina for the part when Daimon begins its vortex attack, so when to use it should be left up to the player. Though I suppose it couldn't hurt to give pawns stamina curatives in additions. Just try to avoid ones that restore both health and stamina, because pawns waste those things.

after i take off about 2-3 blobs of health bars he does his black-hole of cheese move for about approximately 2-3 years...

thanks a lot for the tips it looks as though i might have to really prep for this guy if i want my team to make it through i mean as long as i bring enough wake stones and curatives i could solo him anyway but its just gonna take too long for it to be fun for me if i do it like that, and thanks for the link as well

Depends on your class apparently. I'm looking up daimon now, and apparently his 2nd form vortex CAN be interrupted, its just more difficult. If its a ranged vocation it can be done pretty quickly. If you vocation melee or sorcery though, bring some mushroom potages.

1. It's not the start of the fight ;)
2. So, he does the black hole and you are just standing there and getting sucked in? What are you, a party of Warriors? Kick his ass, you can knock him out of that attack, and he will just lie unconscious, like the Dark Bishop, for some time.

Literally, the first response to the OP...

Knockdown/stagger him :D

How? If u are ranger/Strider use Blast arrow, or just hit him with five fold/ten fold arrow skill.. Not a ranger/strider? throw blast...

Not them all? Well just like someone mention above, when the daimon goes to center of the arena prepare to cling and smash his head..

1st daemon still easier to stagger/knockdown than true form daemon which u can face it after u kill him 1st time

With every class even mage or sorcerer, and using a weapon as low as Bastard Sword, it is enough to equip 2 Barbed Nails, climb Daimon and hit it with light attack, preferably in one of his hands or in the head. You'll have enough time to stagger it before the pawns get fully consumed. It's also true for second form.

You can be all overdramatic about it or you can wail on his face and cause him to stop opening the rift, and there are tons of items to help you do that and conveniently enough lots of monsters in the two previous areas drop those items.

When i fought Dami way back on xbox 360 version of the game, he never even got to his second form, i killed him in his first XD prob glitch.

If you dont wanna bother learning his patterns and how to counter his moves, there's a simple solution: sheer firepower.

Nuke him with fivefold/tenfold + conqueror periapts + blast arrows. Works everysingle time. If you wanna make sure he cant move at all, add a pair of barbed nails and aim for his face. He'll spend the fight doing backflips....

Everything you need is for sale in Gran soren (you will need to give a bronze idol to madeleine and wait for her inventry to respawn twice for the pair of barbed nails), and you'll get more than enough gold selling stuff from BBi to purchase everything.

Well with some classes you can do that. The fighter for example, I just held my shield up, kept manuvering, and waited for him to start using his melee attacks and stop spamming magick everywhere. When he uses melee, he leaves himself wide open.

Phase 2 requires a bit more precision, consider he's flying the whole time.
