Excalipurr is a high level grotto boss in Dragon Quest IX.
Stats
Powers and Abilities
- Attack
- Quick upward slash (if it connects, knocks the target off their feet)
- Disruptive Wave
- Multislash - hits multiple targets, chosen at random. Each hit is less powerful than his basic attack, but if all 4 attacks hit the same character, they could be in trouble.
- Feel the Burn
- Attacks twice per round
Strategies
An important thing to note is that Excalipurr is weak against ice attacks. If you have a character who uses an ax, use Parallax every turn to inflict extra damage.
When Excalipurr uses Feel the burn, only attack him twice a turn to avoid raising his tension to 50. Like most later bosses, Excalipurr already has a very high attack rating.
