Q & A

What is the primary challenge in the Aldraen fight?

The main challenge in the Aldraen fight revolves around elemental DPS checks, where players need to deal enough elemental damage to weaken Aldraen’s 'eschaton judgment' move. If this isn’t done, players will die when Aldraen performs the move.

How does Aldraen’s elemental form affect the fight?

Aldraen transitions between fire, ice, and dragon forms during the fight. Each form has different elemental weaknesses, and understanding these is key to dealing significant damage and surviving the fight. For example, if Aldraen starts in fire form, it is weak to ice, and if in ice form, it is weak to fire.

What should players do in the dragon phase of the fight?

In the dragon phase, players should focus on breaking Aldraen’s horns. Breaking the horns is crucial because it prevents Aldraen from switching to the opposing element. This is especially important if you are using a weapon with elemental weaknesses that would be ineffective against the new form.

How can players prepare for Aldraen’s eschaton judgment move?

Players should ensure they’ve dealt enough elemental damage to weaken Aldraen’s eschaton judgment move. Additionally, they should be fully healed and ready to use healing items like Astera Jerky to mitigate the damage and survive the move.

Why is it important to break Aldraen’s horns?

Breaking Aldraen’s horns during the dragon phase prevents the monster from switching to the opposite elemental form, making it much easier to continue the fight without being disadvantaged by elemental resistances.

What are the elemental weaknesses of Aldraen based on its form?

When in fire form, Aldraen is weak to ice (3 stars), water (2 stars), and neutral to all other elements. In ice form, it is weak to fire (3 stars), thunder (2 stars), and neutral to all other elements. In dragon form, it is weak to dragon (2 stars) and neutral to all other elements.

How does the fight differ in multiplayer versus solo play?

In multiplayer, all players must use elemental weapons to succeed, as the elemental DPS check is harder to meet with randoms. Solo play is typically easier because the elemental damage requirement is lower, making it less difficult to suppress the elements.

What items are recommended for surviving the eschaton judgment move?

Astera Jerky is highly recommended for surviving the eschaton judgment move, as it helps offset the damage. A well-timed Max Potion can also be useful, but Astera Jerky is particularly effective for healing through the damage while the move is active.

How can players deal with Aldraen’s powerful attacks in the fight?

Aldraen’s attacks are telegraphed and can be dodged once players learn the attack patterns. During the fight, players should focus on dodging these attacks and use items like the Temporal Mantle to make it easier to clutch onto Aldraen’s head and break the horns.

What should players focus on during the early phases of the fight?

During the early phases, players should focus on dealing as much elemental damage as possible to suppress Aldraen’s elemental powers and prepare for the eschaton judgment move. It’s also a good idea to attack the hind legs, as it’s safer and easier to hit during these phases.
