Safi Jiva tip [Elderseal]

[jrubz]

Elder seal helps in draining energy faster; but there's plenty of other tools in stage 1 and 2 to make safi drain its energy faster.

Save all dragon weapons till stage 3 and with the right teamwork it can net a completed run in just 1-2 tries.

Yeah I took an Elderseal boosted Stygian weapon to Safi'Jiiva for my first three runs but it felt kinda lackluster so I just went back to my old faithful elementless. I was mashing that dragon constantly but I couldn't really tell a difference...maybe you need more than one guy with Elderseal to really get those speedy drains, I dunno.

I figured everyone would be using Safi weapons within a day or so, so I may as well not get used to Elderseal since it'll be pretty much gone, etc.

Idk why you'd want it to go to the next stage faster. The more he's spamming the one shots, the less time you're breaking it's parts.

partbreaking doesn't complete the quest tho. It's all health based and the energy is the barrier.

You act like his hp is a problem during the last run. It's better to have more breaks than killing it fast in first run.

its a similar concept as kulve, speed wins the day where killing safi as fast as possible in 1 hunt for medium rewards is more efficient than going through the points checklist through multiple hunts.

unlike kulve however safi has no part break mechanic locking your progression so in this senario it's optional. and if there is one thing large monsters hate its elemental ammo. ripped through stage1 kulve and it does the same to safi.

otherwise yeah part break and even the slightest attempt to organize your group into breaking the parts are actually worth points helps get things going.

now for elder seal its not really worth putting too much thought into. it helps dragon edge out over the other elemental options but it isnt a reason to swap your your raw weapons outside of possibly for nergi gear since those weapons tended to be around top 3 to begin with.

Yeah and end up wasting time because you only get half the rewards.

you mean losing 1/16th of the rewards and not waisting another 20 minutes for those extra gold scraps.

quick question guys, do you need only the elderseal at high to work, or you also need the dragon element value at high (say 400 or 500)?

edit : nvm found it on google

So should I used blast first on stage 1 and 2 then switch to Elderseal on stage 3?

That would be a decent strategy.
