How to defeat Cluckatrice? new game minus

[Fattitude]

I have 4 playable characters at the moment. Am I supposed to try this again when I have 6?

Not all hunts are easy to defeat the moment they become available. Don't be afraid to leave some for later.

thanks, i'll come back to it again. I was afraid I was messing something up by not completing it before doing the next part of the main scenario... I know how sometimes in square enix games you get locked out of some of their optional content if you don't complete them early

like he said. hunts are not missable. there is no real important missable stuff at all. except for the genji stuff (also mob hunt) which you can only steal once. and a few (maybe 2) sidequests are missable as well.

for a semi spoiler free hint: most people recommend doing side quest type stuff when you get a guest named reddas. he is the last guest you have in the game, so after him, its just you and the end of the game

I really don't like that hunt - as you meet it ni the trialmode... and for whatever reason my Vaan deals 0-3 dmg only, while other character with less attack and strength easily deal 50+

What is your Vaan's job?

As it is, Dark will destroy them provided you have a tank that they'll wail on for a little bit. HP in weak-mode is the only problem (beyond not having access to better spells, Reverse being 10-30 marks killed before grabbing) in actually fighting the marks.

Yeah this boss was a nightmare since you don't really have ways to counter Slow or Petrify...

Way I did it in the end was to focus the Cluckatrice till maybe 2/3 hp, then use Quickening. If it doesn't outright kill it, it'll be low enough to finish it with magic (or a Dark Mote or something) to bypass its insanely high physical defence. Once the boss is dead the minions are pretty trivial.
