I can't seem to beat Dullahan without summons. I've used various tactics, but none of them work. So can you post strategies on how to beat Dullahan here? Thanks.

My strategy (some ideas stolen from Eugine):

1st turn: Use Luff with slowest character, attack with everybody else

2nd turn: Restore Luff, use Flash, attack with everybody else

3rd turn: Restore Flash, use Luff with slowest character, attack with everybody else

Repeat.

When someone in need of healing: Use Kite on Mia (Luff user), restore Flash, use Luff, attack with the 1 person that doesn't use djinni.

1 turn later: Restore Kite, use Flash, use both Pure Wish (heals 750 thanks to nick1presta) and restore Luff

Start from turn 3.

I like to use the Chaos Lord/Wizard setup. Perfect for Dullahan.

Of course, Dullahan is weak against Jupiter so it is in your best interest to use Excalibur over Tisiphone Edge. And of course the Sol Blade on Isaac/Felix.

Isaac/Felix/Garet/Jenna: Chaos Lord
Mia/Ivan/Sheba/Piers: Wizard

Equip each Wizard with enough Water POW + items to make them heal at least 600HP/Pure Wish.
Equip each Cl with enough critical boosting items to have at least 80%.

You are going to use two focused groups.

I like to use:

Party 1: Isaac, Garet, Mia, Ivan
Party 2: Sheba, Piers, Felix, Jenna

Wizards have the whole Wish series plus the nice Plasma series.
Chaos Lords have Planetary and Revive.

The above is really the only psynergy you should be using.

Every turn the CL unleash (If you don't have Excalibur or SB, use Planetary.) and every turn a Wizard (or two) heal using Pure Wish (if two are healing, use second string wish).

Here is what you do in case of the dreadded Djinn Storm.

Isaac, Garet, Ivan, Mia (all DSed)
Switch out Ivan for Jenna.
Jenna Revive Isaac/Garet - To regain CL class and Revive
Switch out Jenna for Sheba.
Heal with Pure Wish.
When Isaac/Garet get revive, revive other CL.
Switch back Sheba for Ivan.
Keep healing with Mia.
Regain original party status.

That is how it should work.

Dullahan was easier than doom dragon, because it does require a strategy and wrong move, dead. The easiest way, is to go the all out suicide way(you can't do that with doom dragon, i've tried). Put all of your djinn on standby, this disables wish, aura etc but that doesn't matter coz you DON't want this battle to end up being too long. Felix & Co has to be level 55+, Isaac &co 40+(actually I don't know the minimum but that was what I was at ^_^ ).

1st party- Isaac & co

Unleash all the best summons, eg catastrophe,charon
make sure that the fastest ppl (ivan & isaac) summon the best coz dullahan is fast, especially compared to Garet.

Dullahan hits back, leaving possibly 1-2 ppl left, unleash what you have left.

Dullahan attacks, 1st party dies, 2nd party comes in

Unleash all best summons again

Dullahan attacks but more ppl will live considering level, unleash whats left and then you should have felled the mighty guardian of Iris.

This requires luck, because the extremely annoying psynergy djinn storm. When that happens, switch off the gameboy. This took me 10 times first time I took on dullahan, but once the second time when I played the game again.

Hope this helps ^_^

right TLA team should be in level 40's and For GS1 team around lvl 30. make your TLA team u front and tour GS1 team on the bench. set your djinn like this:
Felix: 9 venus djinn One is set the other 8 on standby and DON'T give him GRANITE you'll need it for someone else
Jenna: 9 mars including FLASH who is set and the rest are on standby
Sheba: 9 jupiter all on standby
Piers: 9 jupiter djinn on piers incuding HAZE and KITE, they are set the rest are on standby.

Isaac: 8 venus and one mecury. one venus djinn is set and the other venus and mecury djinn on standby.
Garet: 9 mars one is set rest are on standby
Ivan: Put SHADE and GRANITE on ivan and are set and 7 other mercury djinn on ivan but put them on standby
Mia; 9 mercury all set

Strategy:

Round 1

Felix summons charon
Jenna uses flash
Sheba summons catastrophe
Piers use KITE on FELIX

Round 2

Felix summons catasthrophe
Felix summons catastrophe (kite makes him go twice)
Sheba defends
Jenna defends Piers use HAZE on FELIX this is so felix casts both summons

know just cast jupiter with felix and just make sure all of em die so you can start the next two rounds with GS1 team

Round 1

Isaac summon judgement
Garet summons meteor
Ivan uses GRANITE
Mia summons boreas

Last Round

Isaac summon judgement
Garet summon meteor
Ivan uses SHADE
Mia summons boreas

by now Dulluhan should be dead so that is the four turn way to beat dulluhan and I hope this helps.

I made it on HARD MODE by making all djinni stand by and use as many summons as possible... Eclipse hits HARD ;) And Charon is also great :D

^_^

[Valistrix]

Yeah but if you use sheba or ivan with all jupiter djinn then ctstrophe does 5000 damage to dullahan

[Echo_djinn]

Ok this is what I did I gave him summon after summon and when i couldn't use anymore i would use my djinn any thime i had a chance but i would always keep four fire djinn on set for jenna healing ability(one of them of coure would be flash) and sheba would have almost all healing items(like potions and nuts)his djinn drain really kills but if you fight him in normal mode he uses it like every third turn so i just use psyenergy. I always let him kill my first line then when my second line comes out I do the same thing i said in the again and that is mostly enough to kill him.

[Valistrix]

Ok that's a decent strategy and i just tried it though it just takes so long because of the amount of damage that the psyenergy does

Link, what an excellent strategy! I followed it exactly and Dulluhan perished before the last round.

Nice job. Thanks :mellow:

[Teblor Tribe]

I just go Out summinging every thing I have. Djinn storm Kills though I could beat him with out summons if he didn't have that move

Thank for that I know it's good because I always use it

[Teblor Tribe]

I have to try some of these. They all look good

[Valistrix]

Yeah i need to try some of these strategies aswell instead of just my own ^_^

[dcgames]

Link's strategy worked so well against Dullahan that I thought I'd try it against the Doom Dragon. The battle was over pretty quickly with all my characters still standing afterward. After fighting Dullahan the Doom Dragon was a walk in the park. Weird.

[Teblor Tribe]

Yes I faught DD first because I didn't know about dullhan. I Beat DD Frist time though

[Valistrix]

Dcgames it works like that because both dullahan and DD have same weakness jupiter

[Teblor Tribe]

Exactly that's whey eclipce works so good

[Valistrix]

yes i'd say eclipse and catastrophe are the best summons to use against DD

[Teblor Tribe]

That's what I do Use those two sommuns mostly

[Luna's Assasian]

Summons+High levels+ luck= One dead Dullahan. That equation works with every boss execpt DD. DD is a pain without sratigy... Good Luck, you're gonna need it!!

[Dullahan]

i didn't have a stratagey as much just keep hackin', healin' and revivin'!
i did swap betwwen back and front party alot though and everyone had excellent equipment.

[Valistrix]

I didn't try Dullahan unil I had all best armour and that and the perfect strategy(mine) worked out :blink:

[Kikuichimonji]

Woah, I think we've established which is the best strategy...this should be locked
