DS #5018: Dragon Quest IX Sentinels of the Starry Skies (USA)

[Am0s]

To get on topic, I started my file, already! About time I'd say

But where exactly is the tree I go to to give the essence up?

go into the great hall and at the back is a door and then you get to the tree right at the top

Hi. I was searching through the internet for anything that would help me in my DQ 9 game (also, it is the FIRST DQ game I have ever owned, yet I have had an eye on it for some time), and found this site and, specifically, this topic. I immediately (or ASAP) went to register and make an account for myself to do this: CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO BEAT UBER- ABBOT??? I HAVE GOTTEN MY TEAM UP TO LEVEL 18- 17, SYNTHESIZED (alchemize) ITEMS INTO BETTER ONES NOT FOUND YET (that are, btw, a bunch stronger and better than any bought stuff), AND ACQUIRED STUFF I NEED, AND YET I STILL HAVEN'T BEAT HIM

!!!... ...Ok.... I'm glad I got that out of my system....

nasty abbot is nasty! ;P

my party - minstrel lv20, martial artist lv20, mage lv19, priest lv19

also I get 4 of rubber gloves for some lightning res, can get rubber boots etc if you like

use insulate spell to protect against lightning attack, also steel shields some protection against ice/fire
minstrel use miracle slash to keep going
priest heal/midheal as needed
mage accelerate/sap/crackle

when nasty abbot is ready to die he starts physical attack so not long to go then

DQ9 .... RuLeZ !!! yay

If this site allowed roms we would've been shutdown a long time ago. So common sense prevails.

actually the site DID offer ROMS...GBA Roms that is

but the good o'l big Coercive government made short work of that deal

 

[CrimzonEyed]

rofl almost everyone one got mage+priest

 

[yzak]

report:

acekard2i with akaio 1.7 works flawlessly with patched Xenom version with intro.

 

[elixirdream]

Good news...

AKAIO1.7.1 is out

 

[Zane]

I'm the only one that isn't going with a priest?

Currently i got Ministrel (going mage) Warrior using spear, Martial Artist using a staff, and a thief using knives.

Might swap someone out for a priest, and since i really want a spear user in my party, i guess the warrior could be swapped for a spear wielding priest.

hi... anyone having the same problem as me? R4i gold here(i hate this flashcart)

*freezes right after the dance(the knight and the princess).. using xenom patched version.


help anyone?

 

[Fancypancy99]

I understand why everyone gets a mage and a priest: #1, it is a classic(ish) RPG grouping of a warrior, a black mage (mage), and a white mage (priest). #2, as applies for those who actually thought out which classes to have in party, the mage enables the party to defeat really tough bosses and enemies that are element- prone easier, while the priest enables for the team to get back up again.

For the Abbott- boss strategy, a few questions on it:

* Insulate only works against breath attacks
* accelerate- useful in idea but not sure if it will work
* my hero does not have miracle slash (what is it?)

 

[Fancypancy99]

Oh, btw, if anyone wants alchemy recipies (which i doubt since google is only a few clicks and key taps away), you can ask me for some.

 

[Fancypancy99]

Say, for those who use a thief in their party, does the thief's ability to steal enable the party to not need to pummel several beasties of a certain kind to get the last component for a good recipe?

 

[Fancypancy99]

I know this is my fourth reply in a row, but I just saw something that puts us people who are troubled by the Abbott to great shame:

The following is from a FAQ from Videogamesblogger.com's walkthrough and video guide of DQ 9:


How Do I Beat Master of Nu’un?

If you have a Mage, have them keep sapping as much energy from Nu’un as possible. While doing this, have your Hero and Priest heal the party while your Monk attacks. Defeating him may come down to luck. It depends on whether he casts damage spells or drains magic more, and that can help determine victory. You should be around level 15 or 16 when attempting this fight.

On a scale of 1 smiley to 5 smileys, This is what i give it:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

 

[Fancypancy99]

Yeah! I beat it!

 

[Fancypancy99]

Now I have a Gladiator! Say, is their a ranger (bows)?
