Master the Malign Shrine boss fight in Dragon Quest VII! Learn Orgodemir's forms, attacks, and the best strategies to conserve MP and deal massive damage.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll face Orgodemir, the Demon King, who has two forms. Your status (HP, MP, buffs) carries over between them, so try to save some MP for the second phase. Orgodemir is a tough boss, so don't let your guard down.
- 2Both forms can use Disruptive Wave, which removes all positive stat buffs from your party. Be prepared to reapply them.
- 3Keep Kabuff (defense buff), Insulatle (elemental resistance buff), and Magic Barrier (magic resistance buff) active at all times, as Orgodemir's attacks hit hard.
- 4His attacks include: Kafrizzle (90-100 damage to one target), an eruption attack (around 70 damage to the party), Wind Sickles (around 100 damage to one target), a lightning attack (30-40 damage to the party), a sleep-inducing gleam attack, a physical attack (40-50 damage), and a two-ball attack (80-90 damage each to one or two characters).
- 5If Orgodemir uses the sleep attack frequently, having the Tingle skill can be a lifesaver.
- 6A strong strategy is to use Oomph on your best physical attacker, then have them use Knuckle Sandwich. With high Strength, this can deal over 400 damage per hit.
- 7If you obtained the Sage's Stone from King Maximo using Mini Medals, it's a great item for passive healing. You might still need Multiheal for emergencies.
- 8After depleting his health, Orgodemir's second form appears without interruption. His stats carry over from the first form.
- 9The second form retains Disruptive Wave and has new attacks: a fire breath attack (upper 60s to the party), an ice attack (40-50 damage to the party), and Thin Air (60+ damage to the party).
- 10His most dangerous attack in this form is a spike aimed at one character, dealing 160+ damage.
- 11The same strategy of buffing and using Oomph with Knuckle Sandwich is effective against the second form.
Tips
- Conserve MP for the second form if possible, but don't neglect buffs and healing in the first.
- The Sage's Stone is excellent for consistent healing, freeing up MP for offensive spells or buffs.
- If you're struggling with Orgodemir's powerful single-target attacks, ensure your defense buffs are always up.
- The Tingle skill can prevent a party wipe if Orgodemir spams his sleep attack.
- Defeating Orgodemir is the final step in the Divine Shrine scenario.
