How to defeat Saehral

First, here's a 5 minute video where I explain all the gear I used to beat Saehral:


Resistances are pretty important but in case you want to defeat both Saehral and Qua'Lon in Hard mode what you really need is Speed.

There are 3 ways to increase it:

- Grapes of Alacrity → 10.000 coins at the Colosseum,

- Puffin Feathers that grant +1 SPD when you augment any piece of armor → 800 coins at the Colosseum. You can find 3 feathers in various chests.

- The Timekeeper accessory which grants +2 SPD → 5.000 coins at the Colosseum. It can also be purchased, for the same price, in previous stores.

Of course, it is also important to don't overload your character according to his Build.


Here's another video where I show the actual fight against Saehral.



I hope it helped some ^^

How to beat Qua'Lon on Hard mode


Even harder than Saerahl is Qua'Lon, but only if you face him on Hard mode.
He doesn't have nearly as much health as Saehral does, but he can literally wipe your whole party out with just one hit.

Facing Saehral, you needed to have really high resistances, but rules change when you're facing Qua'Lon. What you need to have in order to defeat him is speed. Give any Grapes of Alacrity you can get your hands on to Chaska and remember that the Timekeeper accessory grants you 2 more SPD. As an example, I can tell you that I raised her SPD up to almost 26 and that it was enough. I also used both Sparks of Creation on her.




This is the strategy I used against Qua'Lon to defeat him:

Mostly, you need to be careful with Qua'Lon's Last Stand of the Fey Lord attack, which will deal 10.000 damage points to all your characters. Even though the attack can be survived, if you block it with a character that's got more than 10k HP, it is of the utmost importance that you prevent him from launching the attack every time.

The way to do it?
Humiliating him.

Before Qua'Lon's able to launch his Ultimate attack he needs to charge himself. Once he does it, he'll launch the attack on his next turn, so make sure you use either Chaska's Humiliator or Sullivan's Equalizer on him to stop it. That means you need to have at least 25% of Chaska's endurance filled at all times.

Another thing Qua'Lon will do regularly is strip you of all your buffs and MP. When he does that, I recommend using an Ether, specially with Claret, so that everybody can keep attacking Qua'Lon as if anything had happened.

The key to defeating Qua'Lon, however, is not preventing his attacks but rather debuffing him, constantly. Even though you may think you don't need to, use Alda's Majesty on him as many times as you can, as well as Humiliator and Equalizer even if he isn't charged, and lower his STR anf INT as much as you can with Sullivan's Battlefield Pressence. You can also use his Inspiration to ensure your turns.

Lastly,another important thing to do is cleasing your characters from all possible debuffs he applies on you. Alas, keep in mind that you're probably not going to be able to use Renew often, due to Qua'Lon's draining attack, so it's best to cleanse each character individually.

And that's all, if you do it like this you'll defeat him eventually. Use Claret's Eliminate and Chaska's Distracting Strike to ensure your victory!

The source of the final bosses strongest attack was from "Energizer", which will cause him to store up energy and insta kill everyone. Get rid of that and you wont have to worry. I also did a slight change on my strategy and made it aggressive with Alda and Sullivan. What I do is debuff him, and then go for attack (avoid long charge attacks, just quick hits. Stronger ones are fine too as long as its not long charge). Unless he uses certain abilities to buff himself, or the debuffs wore off, then I would right away focus on debuffing him again until it takes effect so I can attack again.

Corwin is proven to be mighty useful too, you can keep your team alive every time one of them is killed almost immediately after one died if his speed is on par with Chaska's. With gear 3, you can combo between blood tap and regeneration to defensively give your team heals, you can almost not have to worry heal your teams because those effects will heal them alot. Blood lust is useful on Sullivan due to constantly attacking, so does Claret too but I mostly give her the buff that allows her attack to be stronger on the next turn.

Claret..... Well as I said I never really did much with her. Aside from making her attack stronger so she can do damage. Since she'd be the one team who actually does damage to the final boss and nothing else. Really the biggest struggle I ever faced, I gotta say.

I beated the final boss thanks to your guide. Although interesting thing is I never buffed Chaska's speed. But I buffed Sullivan and Corwin's speed up to hers and I think I did at least one speed buff to Alda too. I never touched Claret. BUT, I did give the team the final gear from beating the coliseum which proves to be mighty useful. Sullivan and Chaska together are really useful when it comes to debuffing, so you dont necessarily have to do THAT much of speed buffs. Beaten the final boss around lvl 40-50.

Does playing on a harder difficulty give you more EXP? I played the entire game on normal, and my levels are barely 50 at the end of the game...

The Viper caves underground help train you to be fit for the Arena upper tiers

It's been a really long time, but aside from defeating every enemy I encountered I think the key was the Arena.

Umm... how did you get your characters to such high levels? Are there grinding spots I am not aware of? I thought all the enemies disappeared permanently once they were defeated...?

I just wish to see the Dhacian and Qua'long trophies in the inventory after that... but the game just goes in the ending sequence after beat Qua'long :hiirocurious:
