Immediately after defeating his first form, Dhoulmagus transforms into an even more grotesque and powerful second form. This battle is significantly tougher and requires careful resource management and strategic thinking. Your party will likely be depleted from the first fight, so be prepared to use items immediately.
Strategy:
- Party Setup: Same as First Form.
- Attacks: Dhoulmagus's second form has three heads, each with its own actions. The main body uses powerful physical attacks and 'Kafrizzle'. The left head uses 'Kasizzle' and 'Kacrackle'. The right head uses 'Kamikazee' (self-destruct for massive damage) and 'Disruptive Wave'.
- Weaknesses: None explicitly.
- Hero: Your primary healer with Omniheal/Fullheal. Use Falcon Slash if healing isn't immediately needed.
- Yangus: Focus on single-target damage on the main body. Helm Splitter is still useful. Use Kabuff if you have a chance.
- Jessica: Target the main body with your strongest single-target spells (Kafrizzle, Kasizzle). If you have Twin Dragon Lash (Whips), it can hit multiple heads.
- Angelo: Your secondary healer with Multiheal. Use Oomph on Yangus or the Hero. Use Bow attacks on the main body.
- Items: Absolutely essential. Have multiple Yggdrasil Leaves, Elfin Elixirs, and Special Medicines.
The key to this fight is managing the three heads. The right head's Kamikazee is devastating, so try to defeat it quickly if possible, or at least keep your party's HP topped off. The main body is your primary target. This is a long and challenging fight; don't be afraid to use all your resources. Keep healing, keep attacking, and eventually, Dhoulmagus will fall.
