The Tinpot Dictator was sent by the Demon Lord to [[Faraday]] with an army of [[Automaton|automatons]] to conquer and eradicate the populace. Before the party arrives, his army is overwhelming the Faradain army to the point where the king must hire mercenaries to stave off the invasion. Because of the Tinpot Dictator's invasion, the country is demoralized. | The Tinpot Dictator was sent by the Demon Lord to [[Faraday]] with an army of [[Automaton|automatons]] to conquer and eradicate the populace.

The party meets the Tinpot Dictator who orders a group of automatons to attack them. However, the signal broadcast from E.L.L.I.E. disrupts the command given to them by the Tinpot Dictator and, in turn, causes them to go berserk and attack themselves. Frustrated by this failure, the Tinpot Dictator is forced to kill the party themselves. The party defeats the Tinpot Dictator who, with his last breath, summons the [[Slaughtomaton]] to kill them and the entire continent. | The party meets the Tinpot Dictator who orders a group of automatons to attack them.

====Strategy==== | |||
The Tinpot Dictator can summon automatons in battle, the player should ignore that and concentrate on the Dictator. [[Maribel]] should use [[Sap]] twice to remove his defense. If she has learned [[Heal]] as well, then she should be the designated healer. [[Kiefer]] should be using [[Flame Slash]] and if he has learned Psycheup, he should use that in conjunction with Flame Slash. [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|The Hero]] and [[Ruff]] should use physical attacks. After the Tinpot Dictator is defeated, defeat all remaining automatons to win the battle. Make sure to save some herbs and MP for the next fight because the party fights the [[Slaughtomaton]] after their victory. | |||
