Tips
- Conserve MP as much as possible for the Super Boss fight.
- Be cautious of ledges, as falling off can return you to the overworld.
- If you need to level grind, consider returning to the Orochi Floor or engaging in class changing.
- For the Xenlon fight, it is crucial to defeat him within 35 rounds to receive rewards.
- Xenlon uses a variety of attacks including Breath Attacks, Sleep Attacks, and Disruptive Wave, which removes all buffs and debuffs. He does not regenerate health after each round.
- A recommended strategy for Xenlon involves using the abilities Wild Side and Call to Arms. Have everyone cast Wild Side, then the Hero casts Kazap. Subsequently, have everyone cast Call to Arms, and the Hero can cast Kazap or Omniheal. Repeat this cycle, recasting Wild Side when it wears off.
- This strategy can be time-consuming but effective. Ensure you have sufficient Gold to support this approach.
- One player reported defeating Xenlon in 8 turns on Dragon Quest Difficulty with a Level 99 Hero and other characters in their 60s after multiple class changes.
- If Xenlon is defeated within 35 rounds, you can choose one of the following wishes:
- Compete in a New Monster Arena (Jipang Rank 10 & 11).
- Bring Ortega Back to Life (he can be found at your house in Aliahan).
- Become History's Trendiest Hero.
- Obtain a Powerful Weapon: Rubiss's Sword (can be used in battle to cast Kazapple).
- Flick Through a Copy of Guns 'n' Buns (teaches Vamp/Lothario personality traits).
- A Blank option (unlocks the Temple of Trials).
- Obtain a Copy of More Guns 'n' Buns (allows anyone to class change into a Sage).
