You can easily do this in act two btw it just requires a bit of waiting if you don't have any pep pops or pep pips. For switch owners if you go to the eshop theres a free dlc that'll give you 5 pep pop along with some other goodies.
You can also fight the headless knights in the fortress of fear when you get there the metal king slimes are rare but often spawn when fighting them should at least get you to level 60 during end of act 2 should boost your chances against mordegon and jasper Exponentially also it's nice to be able to get rid of half the level grind.
I did this when I was lv 25. As soon a I got jade. If you get to the slime island an do it. Watch out for the happy hats. You get a ton of them an they sell for 5k a piece so easy money
It's a great strategy, but it's super frustrating for me that Rab usually takes another 3-4 turns after summoning the slimes. One of them almost always manages to run away before I even have the chance to put them to sleep, and even then, only one of the two remaining ones ever actually get slept.
Also about needing Eric, I still haven’t gotten the mermaid’s harp back and I saw in another video (they didn’t show how they got in) but they were in the snowy area. I can’t phase through the rock. That’s impossible, so I can’t get through until I find the harp.
Im doing a metal slime trick,. Im still at the very early stage of the game at the mermaid place.. Im level 62 already.. Once you get the boat the game will give you a semi freedom to roam around.. Thats the reason why i get so powerful and doing some metal slime grinding.. My only problem is im so very powerful i have the best gears ,all my character gears are all plus 3.. My casino account is around 900k.. I really want to increase the difficulty :( .. To much grinding will make the game so boring and easy
Damn it, I was hoping to use this to spam level ups because Booga is annoying. The only thing I have is pep pop. (I think it was from miscellaneous rewards.) I’m playing Definitive Edition on the Xbox One S.
People really need to stop complaining about the old-school grinding in this game. Grinding is a J-RPG thing. Enix does not care what non-Japanese audiences think about this game. Thank god for that!
ik this video is old but boy has this been one of the most infuriating ways to farm ive gotten the stupid robots like9 times in a row and then when i have gotten the slimes they ran away 4 times before rab could move and then the 2 times he did move first he missed the sleep on the liquid who then precede to run away so just about anything that could go wrong farming this has been going wrong
That's a lot of experience the first time playing it I played it on PC and I just used to cheat engine made it massively easy right now I'm playing it on the Nintendo switch and I'm not cheating at all it is significantly harder than using cheats LOL
I'm already killing king slimes but still going 2 levels at most. Using hallelujah before and killing 2 liquid and 1 king. Not sure why they say you go up to 8 levels after 70...
darkdragosrages just completed the game, there wasn't any change. I got over 800k exp from vicious king metal slime and 2x vicious liquid metal slimes. the exp increases after you complete the luminary's trial. not sure how it works though. EDIT: I think my previous comment was normal king slime and normal liquid metal slime hence the much lower exp.

i beat jasper in oneshot ngl
Thank you for this video, I enjoyed the game until the end game grinding. I stopped playing it until I found your videos
Jade should have Thunder Thrust which can be used to trounce sleeping metal creatures.

oh dam, henderik joins the team eh... why i do this to myself :'(
Lol
I'm switching over film dragon quest joker series to the main one could you tell me want are the main differences between both storylines
Not only are they random and rare, but they also seem to have at least a 90% chance of flee before the battle starts. (It’s really annoying)

Sadly it's sooooo boring.
Doing one and the same thing for 10 hours is the most unfun thing I've ever seen
This. This is just how these games are. If you don't like that maybe you don't like jrpg as much as you thought lol. I agree with you.
Thank you thank you mate, the post game is so fucking broken.
ik this video is old but boy has this been one of the most infuriating ways to farm ive gotten the stupid robots like9 times in a row and then when i have gotten the slimes they ran away 4 times before rab could move and then the 2 times he did move first he missed the sleep on the liquid who then precede to run away so just about anything that could go wrong farming this has been going wrong
Thanks, really useful
Actually you can do this in act 2. Last time I recall there's King Metal Smiles at the Fortress of Fear.
yes but that’s ONLY in the fof
omg thank you so much for this, going to try this out soon T//v//T)o
man i wish i did not used all 5 of my free pep pops from the dlc
Ok it worked but all the slimes ran away before I could sleep them....
Spent a long time trying to do this two times and both spawns were strong af…
this is not grinding this is this is power lvling
If you could make slot tokens gold again, I would MAJORLY abuse the rigged Octagonia casino.
I assume that’s why you can’t though.
Wait wut I thought they are immune to all effects such as sleep
Lady Idoun only pepped Rab can put them to sleep
That's a lot of experience the first time playing it I played it on PC and I just used to cheat engine made it massively easy right now I'm playing it on the Nintendo switch and I'm not cheating at all it is significantly harder than using cheats LOL
Using cheats is so lame. What is the fun in that?
2 years late but is there a way to get slimes to appear at around level 30?
I may have reunlocked my current characters early as they’re all higher levels now, not lower.

*IF YOU HAVE IT USE QUADRASLASH! IT WILL USUALLY HIT EVERY METAL SLIME WITH LIKE 300 HIT POINTS!*
it will miss most of the time.
No
I don’t know what your talking about I have to grind while I’m going threw
Did they patch the amount of exp received from metal slimes? I get only 200k exp from 1 king metal slime and 1 liquid metal slime.
I think so
darkdragosrages just completed the game, there wasn't any change. I got over 800k exp from vicious king metal slime and 2x vicious liquid metal slimes. the exp increases after you complete the luminary's trial. not sure how it works though.
EDIT: I think my previous comment was normal king slime and normal liquid metal slime hence the much lower exp.
Player with definitive edition that got free pep pop
What do you mean by quick reload? How do I quick reload the game 😂
Oof I needed exp is cause of the need to rebuild cobblestone
Yep the same here haha
Why do you need all the levels if you can kill the boss at mid 60...?? Is there a trophy for level 99 or something?
Draconian mode i suppose
ChrisDSX yes. For all the characters, they need to be at level 99 to earn their specific trophies.
Draconian quest sort of requires you to be 90+ when fighting calasmos
