Dhoulmagus: Difference between revisions

In dragon quest VIII Dhoulmagus is very powerful compared to most enemies fought at that stage. In his first form, he summons two copies of himself which use the same abilities as him, and all three must be defeated to advance. The three possess heavy blows which strike multiple members, such has hurling rubble by telikinesis, or firing thousands of whip like strands out of his sceptre. they can also heal using midheal, making any attempt to damage them awkward. further contributing to the difficulty of this boss, He can attack with a "disruptive wave of energy" described in some guides as wave of ice. Rather than dealing damage, this removes every possitive effect from the party, resetting their tension, and negating ooomph, haste, buff etc. The danger of this is that it not only halts any large scale offensive, but also makes the party vulnerable to his own attacks. More conventionally, he can use very powerful fire and ice spells, as well as a normal attack. fortunately, he has a tendency to burst out laughing, wasting turns.
