    Default What's a good strategy for defeating the Dread Dragon?

    Anyone know of a good strategy of defeating him?

    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    Me and my wife duo it as BLM/NIN and SMN/NIN. Go in ES+Sleep the Dragon... she solo's the eye with Carby and then uses Astral Flow with Shiva on the Dragon and I help finish it off as well.

    The normal strat would be to take some melees, a WHM and a BLM. Have the BLM ES+Sleep the Dragon and everyone else take out the eye quickly. When you are done with the eye just hammer away at the dragon. I would suggest that mages stand directly in the middle of the dragon. While they may get hit with AoE, it's better than getting drawn in and having their casting interupted.

    It's really a lot easier than most people think. I trio'd it with a friend. Two level 20 MNK/WARs and a level 20 BLM/WHM. Hundred Fists owned it.

    Duoed it as PLD/WAR with my WAR/MNK friend, just bring some OJ, take out the eye first, then take the dragon out. Siimple as that, pushover fight. Or you can always solo it as a DRG/RDM :

    Basically its take eye out first to prevent magic, and fight dragon afterwards. Its really easy.

    Can I defeat them by myself even though I'm a 25 MNK/12 WAR?

    With enough medicine/potions/regen drinks and etc and careful use of your abilities you probably could. You might want a Icarus Wing for 100TP off the bat though.

    Its cheaper and easier with just one more person though(preferably that can heal...anyone that can heal). Soloing this thing requires planning and money.
