    The proper way to kill these things: Equip everyone with Meteorite Bracers [AGL +50] (you get 1 freebie from Princess Minnie but you'll need to use 3 Orichalcums [out of 6 in the game] & 6 Agility Rings [Pickham Casino]). Equip Hero with Mercury's Bandana for another AGL +15. Equip Angelo with either a Falcon Blade or Liquid Metal Sword.
    Perform the following: Hero-Lightning Thrust (50% Crit.), Yangus-Executioner (50% Crit.), Jessica-Acceleratle (every turn) & Angelo- either Falcon Blade + Metal Slash/Falcon Slash or Liquid Metal Sword + Falcon Slash. Best to fight them in Dragon Graveyard so Bellzebubs can resurrect them over & over.

      Late reply, but I would earnestly discourage the Meteorite Bracers. They are incredibly hard to justify making over the other items you could make with the Orihalcum you get normally, or are otherwise incredibly difficult to get more of them by rare orihalcum drops and steals from a post-game foe.
      More so since the agility of Liquid and Metal King slimes are abnormally high (in fact, only Jessica with a Meteorite Bracer could surpass the Metal King Slime by a mere few points... at max level). The way Agility actually works in the game is increase the odds of who goes first between the highest and lowest numbers as well as dodge ratio the higher it goes; It's rarely a guarantee unless the differences are massive. You're just as well off casting Acceleratle with or without the one free MB you get on Jessica to let her help the others speed up and have better success at hitting potential survivors first, or using the Timbrel of Tension if you made one to help Angelo and maybe the hero with their falcon metal slashes, who have the high potential to off a Liquid Metal Slime with a single tension boost between the two.

  • @azelasmoment
    @azelasmoment 9 лет назад +12

    From my experience, the best way to defeat metals in this game is to have Hero in spears, Yangus in axes, Jessica in whips, and Angelo in either swords or bows. For Hero and Yangus, Lightning Thrust and Executioner really help speed up the process, since they both ignore defense. For Jessica, just use Twin Dragon Lash. Lastly, for Angelo, do Metal Slash if you have him on swords or Multishot if you have him on bows. That's how I handled metals back when I played it a lot.

  • @joshlawless2718
    @joshlawless2718 12 лет назад +4

    Wait until its almost night or day, there is a moment in which your shadow will move faster to fit the new light source, exactly in that moment use WHISTLE with yangus, and get a way higher chance to get king metal slimes or metal babbles. When you end a fight, waste not time! use whistle as soon as possible again before your shadow stops moving! you will get lots of experience that way!

  • @Nyrufa
    @Nyrufa 7 лет назад +3

    Just to save everybody time: Metal Slimes are completely immune to offensive magic. Don't even bother trying to cast offensive spells on them. Second of all, use abilities that are either specifically designed for metal enemies (such as metal slash), or use abilities which perform multiple attacks in the same turn. Metal Slimes have extremely high defense and unless your score a critical hit, you will only inflict 1 or 2 points of damage a hit. Luckily, they have extremely low HP, with normal slimes having 3 to 4, and liquid ones having about 5 to 6. Metal King Slimes only have 7, so you can take them out pretty quickly, assuming they don't run away.

    • @hardtimes2597
      @hardtimes2597 Год назад

      Almost everything right. In this game, and as it is showed in the video, King metal slime has 17hp, liquid has 6hp and metal slime has 4hp (this value doesn't change from one monster to another one). Unfortunately, normal physical attacks doesn't work in the majority of the cases and, if they do, they won't deal more than 1 hp, except when they are dealt with the liquid metal sword. Thanks :)

  • @SamsaraRevolves
    @SamsaraRevolves 10 лет назад +9

    Back in the days of Dragon Warrior 4 there was a spell called "BeDragon." This was really good for taking down metal slimes and babbles. I don't remember if Metal Kings existed in that game or not though.

    • @MrVariant
      @MrVariant Год назад

      They exist. Right by the final battle. Helped to get insulatle fast for those ridiculous forms Psaro had. Flipping Taloon's money with chapter 3 prep and buying stock/casino tokens does help get liquid metal armor faster. Do feel dq8 forces certain builds, like clubs suck though yangus can use fisticuffs decently. Of course hero needs courage and to avoid boomerang boosting as it tapers off after the first dungeon. Staffs help Jessica (after getting the best twin dragon lash the vid showed) and Angelo a ton for magic resistance.

  • @Ext3rmin8or

    Thunder thrust + Executioner with accelerate is the fastest. (Still by chance)
    If your lucky to get 2 rounds for metal king slime, you can use timbrel for Jessica and Yangus + 2 Metal Slash for hero and Angelo provided they are equipped with falcon blade (gives two hits with each attack).

  • @joshlawless2718
    @joshlawless2718 12 лет назад +1

    Also, the best way to kill them is by using:
    1) The critical attacks with yangus (axe).
    2) Critical attack with hero (spear) (also works Uber falcon sword + Falcon attack)
    3) Uber falcon sword + Falcon attack with angelo
    4) Accelerate with Jessica.

  • @clemm84
    @clemm84 11 лет назад +7

    I know that the hero and yangus both have a technique that ignores defence. Those are really your best bet against Liquid metal slimes and metal king slimes. It's too long and too risky to try to take them down 1 or 2 HP at a time. They'll most likely run away. Regular metal slimes have much lower HP and can be taken down in numerous ways. Metal slash, falcon slash, whips, boomerangs, all work well against them.

    • @plottwist3364

      Psyche up does great for angelo , if you have one of the falcon blade and the metal slash: rank 5 you one shot the metal slimes, rank 20 you almost one shot the mercury slimes every time and 50 can one shot the MKS (still a risk to deal 15pv), if it stays that long

    Do use moves with high ciritical rate (often these will be 100% ciritical but have 50/50 chance of hitting) since ciritical hit kill them stright away, if not this use a weapon/skill that damage the slime if the move hit e.g. metal slash or metal king sword, if not this ether fight them :)

    From my own experiance iv noticed you can use liquid metal sword with falcon slash and you can deal up to 4 damage with angelo over just using metal slash. The rest of the ideas are already here Sides from another point of view...spears on the hero can deal potentually far more damage than swords can on bosses Just from the damage on the metal king spear least thats what iv currently figured and also currently as of now working to test. =) I just dont think swords are ever worth it on the hero sides 9 points for one skill and thats dragon slash. Dragon slash + 100 tension+dragon slayer on post game boss = Dead post game boss =3

    @TwilightPrince123 Each round they don't run, it decreases the chance that they will run. So if they dont' run in the first 3 rounds or so, they tend to stick around.
