Has anyone humbled Trema at lower levels than me?

[m4tt]

hahahha u make me laugh 2. :rolleyes2

Glad I could bring some laughter to your life.

All the Elder Drakes can be avoided through timing your run properly or by activating all the switches linked to the platforms, depending on the particular lay out of the level. They have lots of HP, Auto-Protect, huge Str and they instantly kill anyone who casts magic on them. They are best avoided until you are at Lv 99 or have Mascot, Cat Nip or Iron Duke.

Thanks for the advice! I don't have any of those items, or the Mascot dress sphere so looks like I'll be avoiding them.

Elder drakes are random encounters in the later levels. It's hard avoiding them.

[rubah]

but by then you have catnip, and you're probably going through with a gunner on low hp anyways.

[rcabronx]

Jeez Mirage, it was just an innocent question.... don't mean to sound stupid or anything, but I've never beaten Trema, so I wasn't sure... not really appreciating the sarcasm, but whatever. No harm, no foul.

I ended up running into another one on level 34 or something. It wasn't the one that was bouncing in and out of that hallway, it was one that was just hanging out in a pit. Needless to say I couldn't figure out how to get around it and died. ;_;

[Mirage]

I eat elder drakes for breakfast!
Well, I assumed you had completed it once, so you should know about that feature. :p

[DMKA]

What the hell is "Iron Duke"?

I beat him at level 99. =\

[Ichimonji]

It's an accessory which brings all your stats up 100% except for Luck. That goes up 50%.

[alexholker]

What the hell is "Iron Duke"?

The "Iron Duke" is an Accessery you can get by defeating Trema. It adds 100 points or 100% to pretty much all your stats.

[TeamSlayer]

Actually when the iron duke is equiped all stats go up 100% but luck goes up by 100 points, not 50%.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Actually, everyone has been wrong so far. The Iron Duke does the following things:

- Max HP +100%
- Max MP +100%
- Strength +100 points
- Defence +100 points
- Magic +100 points
- Magic Defence +100 points
- Agility +10 points
- Accuracy +100 points
- Evasion +100 points
- Luck +50 points

[The Elder Drake] was one that was just hanging out in a pit. Needless to say I couldn't figure out how to get around it and died.

Before you jump up the first wall head left. There you will find a passage with a glyph. Activate this glyph and blocks will appear above the Elder Drake allowing you to jump across without going anywhere near him.

I can't beat him either and I don't have the mascot DS, no matter how many times I go through that game *I can't get it for some reason*
I started fighting the Elder Drakes for practice on one of my files and i always seemt o die to that thing Before you fight Trema *Isn't that Yunalesca's lover or something* Well, i'll have one person left or two and none of them can revive the fallen one in time...so..

[TheSpoonyBard]

To get Mascot you need Episode Complete in all areas. Make sure you don't leave Zanarkand Ruins til last as you won't get Mascot even if you get all Episode Complete (just a little bug in the game). Paragon ("the thing before you fight Trema") can be bribed, thus ensuring all three girls are alive and kicking for the Trema battle. 1,000,000 Gil should be enough.

[Dking'squeen]

NIce!
I thought that it was another city that I had to do last, not mascot
and then who gives it to you?
PErigon CAN be bribed....i thought so...*starts saving money* oh wait, I have more than enough...hehe
So one of my girls should be able to use Lady luck abilities, right?

~Thanks

*and i hate those tonberries, the large ones*

[TheSpoonyBard]

After getting Episode Complete in all areas there will be an automatic scene on the Celsius where Brother presents you with the Gullwing's most prized garment. Lady Luck should only be used for Bribing Paragon, not in the battle against Trema. The only DS you should use are Mascot, Dark Knight or Alchemist.

I once fought him for fun with all the girls wearing the Berserker DS. I put all three of them in Berserk just to see how long I could last. N.B. Each girl was Lv 99, wearing an Iron Duke and a Speed Bracer, and had Auto-Regen, Evade & Counter and Magic Counter. I almost killed him, but he used Meteor twice in a row. Not good. Suffice to say I died quite spectacularly.
