Tales of Vesperia PS3 - Extra Boss 6: Spiral Draco

Meet the new hardest boss in the game, Spiral Draco. He's got 6 parts (3 heads, a body, and two tails). His central head has a million HP on normal difficulty. You've gotta kill it to defeat him. Problem is, it's way up in the air and hard to hit with most moves. Plus, magic barely scratches it. So you have to kill the body, which makes him drop his head so you can hit it more easily. But as long as he's alive he'll constantly raise dead his body parts so you can't just keep on attacking him for free. Oh, did I mention Devil Arms do 1 damage to him no matter what?

I was around level 160 (compared to his 200) so I just decided to go for a cheese method. I had Rita spam Meteor Swarm, which took out a lot of his body parts, and I had Raven spam Ten no Nageki, which since it's a straight-down-from-the-sky move can hit the central head even when it's up in the air. Plus, Raven's super weapon (from the bonus dungeon) has some super broken skills - basically, it makes it so that every time an arrow hits, he gets 1% HP/TP back (more if you have the appropriate skills). Since Ten no Nageki hits like 5-6 times, you get 5-6% HP/TP back every time you do it. So even when Spiral Draco was bombarding Raven with lasers he was able to stay really healthy.

Anyway that's that, I'm finished my first run through Vesperia PS3. Maybe I'll go back and make arena videos at some point, but the main stuff is accomplished.

@Hisakatos Feel arms do 1 damage to this guy, period. So no, it wouldn't help one bit.

[Hisakatos]

why dont u try doing some training for their fell arms in the nordopolica clossium the 100 man mlee.

i know its going to be a pain in the ass for u to do this or not but let me tell you something if you keep on doing some training the attacks for your fell arms will add up a lttele bit more power to weapons. and if you really did this thing i could granteee it that you will be able to face monster in unkown mode in your second playthrough of tales of vesperia PS3

So this guy is what Duke was referring to when the Fell Arms powered him up to his third form...

@Aerithninja Well, your characters are invincible while you spam cast Force Field... Though I heard they removed it from the PS3 version?

[Aerithninja]

@orlando1210 it could work but chances are he'd kill you before the Eternal Magic effect happened.. :/

[orlando1210]

I was wondering... But I never played this game before, so I dunno... Couldn't you spam Force Field at the start to everyone with Eternal Support on (though the AI would probably be stupid and run away or just stand there and get hit until they die) and then after that have Estelle spam Holy Rain with Rita? :o

I'm not sure how Vesperia works exactly though, I just saw a 200-man melee by Estelle with that strategy, so I was wondering whether it would work on this boss.

[OmegaXDark]

YES!! FINNALY A GOOD LOOKING EXTRA BOSS!!!

[xTheLemon]

at least this boss looks like a challenge, Kratos Aurion in the 360 version wasnt so hard. Also, if this boss is immune for Devil Arms and if u dont know the broken artes.. Than this boss is a real pain. I bought a PS3 specially for this game, now Im waiting till it arrives and I hope it works.

Games like this deserve my donations XD

I wonder where I am gonna find it, and how Imma survive this game, I dont know Japanese lol xD

[Idtelos]

look at those stats...rol. one hit kill.

[awesomeness1011]

@TheSmashProfessors true, as long as they localize any of the recent games i'd be happy
