How to prepare for the palmist boss
Choose who enters the dungeon
You You can choose anyone in your group to enter Gaia’s Navel solo; you don’t need to use the Hero protagonist. This gives you the freedom to choose any character from any Vocation class in Redo DQ3including the new Monster Wrangler vocation added in the remake. Some of the best options for clearing the dungeon and facing the Palmist include:
- Wise
- Wizard
- Hero
- Warrior
- Priest
The Sage and Mage classes have incredibly strong magic, allowing you to inflict a lot of damage per turn with various spells. One of the best strategies against the Palmist involves using someone who knows the Fizzle spellwhich can disrupt the boss’s standards. Both spellcasting classes will be able to use this type of magic, and the Hero if you want to stick with the protagonist’s unique class.
The Priest also has good spells, but this class also has arcane powers to heal itself during a fight. This type of character will not only help you get through the dungeon solo, but will also be able to hold out in a fight against the Palmist. A similar choice of last resort would be the Warrior class in Redo DQ3whose health and tanky disposition will help them survive, but without the support of any magic.
After choosing who is most suitable for this dungeon, equip equipment that helps increase defense against magic. The Palmist is a powerful wizard whose spells can do a lot of damage if you are using a character class with lower HP. Anything that increases your defenses will also give you the damage reduction needed to survive until the end of the dungeon where the Palmist appears.
How to defeat the palmist
Drive away the spirit of the boss
The Palmist will have an enemy Madvlad on your side during this boss fight, giving you an extra enemy to face. The trick in this fight is that The Palmist will use the Zing spell to revive Madvlad if he is killedsubjecting you to a war of attrition. However, is there a way to seal the Palmist’s magic to stop them from casting spells throughout the fight.
When you hit the Chiromancer with the Fizzle spell, he cannot cast spells for at least a few laps. This prevents the boss from healing himself or Madvlad and dealing any damage to the character you have in the dungeon. With a spell cast, you make this fight much easier, as long as you have a character capable of casting Fizzle.
Take your first turn to cast Fizzle on The Chiromancer, then take any damage Madvlad inflicts. From here, simply deal enough damage to Madvlad to eliminate him and reapply Fizzle to Palmist when its effect ends. It may take you a few tries to realize how long the Fizzle debuff lasts, but you should be able to time the next one once you figure it out.
If the Palmist has a chance to attack, Be careful with the Oomph spell that increases the damage of the boss’s magic attack. The Chiromancer can combine this buff with Swoosh or Frizzle, two elemental Wind and Fire spells, respectively, that do a lot of damage.
As long as you prevent the Palmist from casting magic, you will have no problem beating him. This boss is weak to lightning elemental damageso try to use them to win the fight as quickly as you can. Those who can withstand and defeat the new Palmist boss in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake You can claim the Blue Orb and defeat Gaea’s Navel, earning great rewards for finishing this solo challenge dungeon.
