Introduced in {{DQ2}}, it is a metallic [[Bubble slime]] that acts as a large source of experience points. Players are tipped off to Liquid metal slimes being in an area by the presence of [[Hunter mech]]s, which are seemingly programmed to track down the silver sludge. | ||

Liquid metal slimes have the standard qualities of metal monsters: high {{Agility}}, high {{Defence}}, immunity to essentially all forms of magic and skills, very low {{HP}}, very high experience payout, and the unfavorable habit of running away from battle frequently. Although a step up from the Metal slime, the Liquid metal slime is rarely shown to be competent at fighting, its only enhancements being its {{HP}} and the {{Exp}}erience it gives when compared to Metal slimes.

A popular strategy for vanquishing the L.M.S. is to have a [[Mage]] cast [[Puff!]] and then a [[Priest]] casting [[Accelerate]] on the first turn of the encounter, incinerating them automatically on the next turn. For [[Warrior]]s, the [[Spiked armour]] is handy to punish them for attacking directly and having a [[Falcon blade]] will give them twice as many chances to attack.

For [[Warrior]]s, the [[Spiked armour]] is handy to punish them for attacking directly and having a [[Falcon blade]] will give them twice as many chances to attack. The [[Headsman's axe]] has a 1/8th chance to land a [[Critical Hit]], but also a 1/8th chance to miss altogether on top of the {{MFamilies}}'s dodge rate. A [[Martial Artist]] of a reasonably high level will have a great critical hit rate to rely upon as well, with the calculation being level/256 with a cap of 25% at Level 64. | ||
