Defeat Rashaverak, Barbatos, and Pruslas in Dragon Quest IV. Learn strategies and drops like the Dragon Shield and Miracle Sword.

Boss Showdown: Rashaverak

Party: Hero, Ragnar, Meena, Alena

Your Level: 31

Difficulty: Easy

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To defeat the three dragons, deal equal damage to all of them so they are killed around the same time.
  2. 2
    Use Meena's "Kaswoosh" ability to deal damage to all dragons simultaneously.
  3. 3
    Have the other three party members use normal attacks on all dragons, not focusing on one.
  4. 4
    Each dragon has less than 500 HP.
  5. 5
    Once defeated, the first barrier vanishes.

After defeating Rashaverak, return to the angel's shrine to heal your HP (Hit Points) and MP (Magic Points). Then, proceed northwest to the next barrier shrine. Climb the ladder near the entrance and talk to the monstrous monster waiting for you to initiate a boss battle.

Boss Showdown: Barbatos

Party: Hero, Ragnar, Meena, Alena

Your Level: 32

Difficulty: Medium

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Cast Meena's "Insulatle" spell at the beginning of the battle to neutralize Barbatos's elemental attacks that damage everyone in your lineup.
  2. 2
    Monitor everyone's HP and use the Hero's "Omniheal" to restore full health when needed.
  3. 3
    When healing is not required, attack Barbatos with normal attacks.
  4. 4
    The battle should last about three to four minutes.

Barbatos drops a Miracle Sword, which restores the user's HP with every attack. Equip this on a character like Ragnar. Return to the angel shrine to heal and save, then head west to the third shrine. Go downstairs to find moving statues that teleport you back upstairs if touched.

Statues Puzzle:

  1. From the start of the floor with the moving statues, move a few steps east.
  2. Then, walk north to pass between the middle statue and the one to its east.
  3. Head down the stairs north of the statues.
  4. Talk to the monster waiting there two times to start another boss battle.

Boss Showdown: Pruslas

Party: Hero, Ragnar, Meena, Alena

Your Level: 33

Difficulty: Medium

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Pruslas is vulnerable to normal attacks.
  2. 2
    Focus on normal attacks with your current battle lineup; spells are only needed for healing.
  3. 3
    Be aware that Pruslas can attack twice per turn, and his attacks are powerful.
  4. 4
    Maintain HP above 50% for all party members.
  5. 5
    Use Meena's "Fullheal" skill to efficiently heal one party member at a time.

After defeating Pruslas, return to the angel shrine to save and heal before proceeding.
