Finally beat General Chayne. Good lord that was hard even with my overkiller. I finally just stopped auto battling and started giving orders myself and surprisingly, I beat him pretty quickly. I had one doing heal spells and the other three spamming helm splitter with overkiller throwing in a bonus lightning slash here and there.
@@matthewstephens6502It’s not silly at all. I auto battle everything. that one boss is the only enemy I have had issues with so far. I have steam rolled through all other bosses so far. nothing wrong with auto battling.
I’m loving these so much! I’m dying for more synthesis guides and FINALLY got out of the Lower Echelons after spending a ton of time getting my Overkilling Machine and Krystalinda lol. This will be helpful to get some good spells on the latter instead of her default Trait
If you’re having trouble earlygame, master Shallow breathing, Zam, Frizz and Splash Affictionado skills. They can be found on Dracky in the starting area, Dracslime(Synth a Slime with a dragon family), Sea Urchin(Slime family and Aqua), and Flamespirit(Found lower Temper). Deep Breathing alone breaks early and midgame. 40 points: Inferno lv 3 Fire Breath. 20 points more gets you Freezing Blizzard, the Ice version. Gets better. The Virtuoso trees make the game easy. 3 points in one gets you the lv 100 spell of the Affictionado spell, and they just get better from there. Add in Crack, Bang, Sizz for Area damage that hits like a train. Healing just needs a healer, and that’s Circle of Temper lower. Not certain about higher healing, just had to restart due to skill point wasting. Edit: 01/15/2024 The Zam and Frizz virtuoso skills can combine once maxed, as can the Splash and Zap ones. Max those out and combine them too, and you have every damaging spell in the game. Sadly, the slasher final is poor, composed of all the level-dependent skills. Cure-all and healer can also combine, and Sage from Hootingham has all the multitarget debuffs and buffs.
This game is so good. I just made Pazuzu. I've been using a Silvapithecus with Polariser on my team. I also got the Buntzenberner made with Impactor, giving the Pazuzu perfect speller, and the best part. The Pazuzu was shiny.
I feel like I’m doing something wrong, I’ve run these loops about 12 times each and only found a metal slime on the first desert run. What am I missing?
@@HDHaZmY oh i 100% get it i made damn sure to take off work to beat this game(luckily i didnt get called in) But i definitely was underpowered alot in the latter half due to b lining it

Cool cool. Now, are you able to do one for the liquid metal slimes in the upper echelons? And possibly include some monsters/talents that are effective at killing metal slimes? I know that some of the mechs have abilities that allow you to hit metal slimes, and there's also an attack that is effective, but I can't remember what it is
Talents: knuckle sandwich (ignores defense, but have to wait a turn), withering look (probably best skill to use; ignores defense, and hits all enemies, you can get it from synthing dore en grey or Krystalinda), sword dance (best multi hit move, unlocked from "maniac" skill tree), Best monsters; if your guys have around 140 attack, you should be doing some damage no matter the monster. But best monster are the killing machines as they ignore the metal traits of the slimes.
I use a metal liquid slime (Synth 2 metal slimes) to kill all metal slimes, at lvl 40 you can explode all enemies with his storm talent (default talent) , and since its metal it has high agility. I have him with Storm-Agi4-Agi3
140 attack is only good for the WEAKEST metal slimes the Metal King ones tend to have 999 defense so that you need 600+ Str to NOT require Hatchet man to kill them with physical hits instantly 550 to do more then 1 to the Metal Kings. Sword Dance still needs over 500 Str to NOT do 0 to 1 damage to at least the Metal King Slimes Knuckle Sandwhich for its 1 turn wait isn't worth it.
I successfully hunted 3 metal king slimes by combining: - Kasap on a Mon with Major Downer (I used a Cursed Crooner). - Kasnooze, which metal slimes are weak to and prevents them from running. - Oomphle After two Kasaps and two Oomphles, my lvl ~45 party was hitting for 13-25 damage, bringing down a metal king slime in just two hits.
@@HDHaZmY So winter for both is important? I always seem to get the starry night weather effect in the Circle of Caprice Middle Echelon. I rarely get the sunny weather there.
Many thanks for this. Will certainly be helpful for level grinding. Though on the topic of Metal Slimes if you don't mind me asking; What's a reasonable way to get more to join you? I've been sitting on the one you get for free via 10 mini medals and I've been afraid to do anything with it due to fears of not getting more soonish/too hard to get with the team I have now. Many more thanks if you've any advice on that front too.
Metal Slimes are not immune to Zam spells like Zammle and Poison spells like Katox when their stats tell them they are immune to Dark and Lightning as well as Poison. So I question if this is a bug or attended?
@HDHaZmY Ouch that's rough..... damn. Well.... I probably shouldn't wish for it. But I hope it's a dlc for the game. It would be more useful than the mole hole for sure. Keep up the guides and the great work! Can't wait for the metal king slime guides. Thanks for all you do!!!!!
Metal king slimes are super easy to farm in this game (in the post game). They always appear in the same spots. You zoom in, go for them, and if they're not there, teleport to another world, and repeat. Use all the XP bonus you can, and you earn more than 1million XP. I have dozens of level 100 monsters now
That's easy all you need are 4 Metal Slimes make them into 2 Liquid metal ones then Synth those 2 Liquid metal ones into a King Medal one its better to do it that way vs risking them running away Though in Mole hole nothing actually runs away from you.
Do you have a map with the other locations? I just got to middle circle of fortitude and was looking for where they spawn there. Not sure how far I am from the locations in your guide.
Ahhhh I did! I love your videos. I misunderstood the save scum for the balls, not the save scum for amount. Still have yet to find any in Caprice though sadly@@HDHaZmY
For me for some reason I've only got spawns on the 1st and 4th in Indulgence. And I'm not new to RPG's, Dragon Quests, or anything. I even started expanding to make sure I know exactly where they are@@HDHaZmY
is it possible i run ur route on each map like 8 times already the first 3 on each map gave me a slime sadly always 1 metal slime in the fight but after that k already swapped maps more then 5 times and each time no slime so the run is not guaranteed to give a slime right ?
@ernestisenhower9325 overkilling does 1-2 actions with a higher chance of 2 if you don't issue a command. The "upgrades" only do 1 attack. If you want to synth Trauminator, maybe make him into a large monster to get the extra actions. (Recommend attack boost iv, maniac for sword dance, and any defense skill like crack ward for auto cadbra (mp restore move) With that skill set, the monster will never run out of mp and can restore health using miracle slash.
So far I have had bad luck with this only found 2 slimes total in a handful of cycles and circle of indulgence is over run with way to many monsters the area is small and can barely get away this method seems annoying
This method works really well! however, they always escape or in the circle of indulgence, I get so unlucky that the enemy stuns me before I can't even hit them. Have you had any luck with how much speed you need to outspeed metal slime? Also, Can you do a video where the most optimized routes for bag of tricks?
What about the metal slimes in the Mole Hole? Do they grant the same amount of exp as the "wild" ones or did they got nerfed to prevent people Mole Hole Grinding them?
@@HDHaZmY I tried it myself now. ;) They don't give much exp and are nerfed. I got 150 exp from the Metal Slime, didn't try something higher but I expect there to be some kind of exp limit in Mole Hole.
They don't and in the 3DS version of DQ7 they don't as a BOSS of those self made tablet dungeons either but in the 3DS DQ7 as a BOSS of a self made dungeon they don't actually run away.
Be carefull, this method doesn't work because the metal slime doesn't have to be on one of the spots that are shown on the map. I was wondering why these metal slime were so rare for me, so I did all the spots possible within a map and within the same season, and I couldn't fin any...
@@HDHaZmY yep and I encountered some metal slimes but I think that the spawn rate is too low, and maybe fighting the mobs the highest level you can again and again can be more efficient.. anyways, that doesn't change the quality of your video, great as usual
save-reloading no longer works, saving in front of a metal slime, entering the fight, the metal slime fleeing, and then reloading the save (with auto-save OFF) doesn't load the save with the metal slime still in front of you, you *will* load back at the exact same spot, but the metal slime won't be there. So f*ck square enix I guess.
I just tried this and did not find one metal slime. I've zoomed back and forth a total of 6 times and walked the route and not a single slime. #clickbait
This just isn't worth the time. I'm getting on average one metal slime encounter for every 5 or 6 season changes or worse. With normal encounters are giving 1400-2000+ xp... It just isn't good xp per hour....
"It isn't that bad and is even kind of enjoyable" are you guys gonna smack him or should I? 😂 it's so bad killing random monsters instead of searching is comparable in leveling up

Thank you. Was looking for something before the post game.
I feel like I’m doing something wrong, I’ve run these loops about 12 times each and only found a metal slime on the first desert run. What am I missing?
Two more excellent monsters to synthesize are slionheart (healing) and equinox (debuffer).
I have to be so unlucky then as I went between both circles at least 5 times never came across ONE!
Same, I see one every 5 or so trips
After the update I only can find a few metal slimes each day 😢
OMG yesssss finally, leveling up takes ages after 30
Im past the post game, but gonna watch this just in case i replay anytime soon lol
Yeah I imagine the most hardcore people are already done with the game ^^ Can't keep up with that pace and keep the video quality high :'(

Top tier content here man
Can you do a video on getting lots of gold plz
There is another Metal Slime Spot near the Caprice Dungeon halfway between it and the Big Boss Scorpion in the desert.
Can you do a guide for Liquid Metal slimes ? I am not seeing anything online for them idk why , i managed to find just 1 so far in upper echelon area
Can you make a guide on eggs? Or link? I know how to farm what I want to know is what's in the eggs? Or what the egg exulives are?
On the Circle of Indulgence route down from the Desserted Dungeon.
How do you get onto the first cliff on the right?
Question: Does the season or weather make a difference in when they appear? If not, that's good then.
It does! both weather and season
@@HDHaZmY So winter for both is important? I always seem to get the starry night weather effect in the Circle of Caprice Middle Echelon. I rarely get the sunny weather there.
Since, i didn't see any good content in french i came to see your channel, and damn that's good. Hooping you'll do thé same for the last layers 👍

Does this monsters game not have a metal slime world after the main story? Like joker?
Nope they removed it it seems - at least so far, maybe it's a secret.

Wouldn't you be able to scout a metal slime and then farm it at the mole hole? Or is XP barely anything in the mohole?
correct, it gives you almost no xp in the mole hole.
How much speed do i need so they dont run away instantly?
it may not be a coincidence that i got more slimes encountering when no other monsters on screen. tried it with some reloads almost everytime 3
Its not coincidence. That's part of the strategy that no one seems to talk about. Good on you for letting people know.
Hello can you make Guide for Dimensional Dragon?
Or did you know any dragon that has high MP and Wisdom stat?
Can you do a king metal slime tutorial?
Yes as soon as I get there with all my videos
That's easy all you need are 4 Metal Slimes make them into 2 Liquid metal ones then Synth those 2 Liquid metal ones into a King Medal one its better to do it that way vs risking them running away Though in Mole hole nothing actually runs away from you.
Do you have a map with the other locations? I just got to middle circle of fortitude and was looking for where they spawn there. Not sure how far I am from the locations in your guide.
I don’t follow… so can you only kill them with a special monster?
What’s the best way to fight them?
Killing Machine or Casters with Immunity Ignore Traits
I'm very confused... I saved and reloaded for my first one found (autosave is off) and it wasn't there when I came back.
You didn't watch the whole video ^^

How to recruit him?
Metal Slime type monsters sound like an ideal pick for a tank on the team.
The best tank is a metal slime yes - Gold Slime
You can get one without having to scout it for 10 mini medals.
Zudo somehow made me re synthesize
I'm at 30 hours and only just got into the Middle Echelon 🤣
I run your route 10 times and got only 3 metal slimes. Is it possible, that the story part is necessary?
The further you get in the story the better the spawn rates get but in the end it's all luck!
