Sanctum of the Cirrus

Learn how to defeat the challenging Cumulus Vex boss in Dragon Quest VII. Get tips on party buffs, healing, and dealing with his annoying minions.

Boss: Cumulus Vex

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Wind Sickles: ~100+ damage to one target.
• Physical Attack: ~50-60 damage.
• Thin Air: ~100+ damage to the entire party.
• Sky Fries (Minions): Physical attack is weak, but they can cast Snooze, potentially incapacitating party members.

Strategy:

• If you have Magic Barrier, use it to reduce damage from Thin Air.
• Buff your physical attackers with Oomph.
• For offense, use normal physical strikes or skills like Knuckle Sandwich.
• Ideally, have Multiheal on at least two characters, as Cumulus Vex can act twice per turn.
• Prioritize taking out the Sky Fries as soon as they appear to prevent them from casting Snooze.

• After the fight, inspect the statue in the Sanctum of the Cirrus to receive a Prayer Ring.
• Return to Aeolus Vale and speak with Fidelia to receive the Sacred Stone.
