Welcome to Chapter X of Dragon Quest Heroes, titled "The Troubled Tree"! This chapter throws a couple of tough challenges your way, starting with the Benighted Branches and leading into the Altar Beast and a particularly tricky boss fight against Psaro. Don't worry, I'll guide you through it step-by-step!

Walkthrough

1
The Benighted Branches
Your first objective here is simple: Defeat all the monsters! As you fight, keep an eye out for Cureslimes. It's a good idea to stockpile them for healing. When you encounter tougher enemies like Lethal Armours, flank them to take them down. Keep belabouring every foe until each gate opens, allowing you to progress.
2
Altar Beast
Next up is the Altar Beast, and you need to defeat the Barbatos. The World Tree is in bad shape, and you'll feel a sense of foreboding as you get closer to the Crown. This fight requires a bit more focus than the last one, especially if you plan on tackling veteran versions later. Pay close attention to these two rules:
- Rule #1: Defeat Cureslimes Immediately! Keep an eye out for them, as they'll spawn and heal your enemies (including the boss!) while you're busy. Plus, you'll want them available to heal your own party.
3
Rule #2: Prioritize Your Attacks! Aim your most powerful attacks (coups de grâce) at the Barbatos, but also choose one additional objective, whether it's clearing out Cureslimes or other foes like Mawkeepers.
4
A Monstrous Apparition (Psaro Boss Fight)
This side-quest is a real test of patience and skill, especially if you're attempting it early. You can't just stand and trade blows with Psaro; you need to learn his moveset. Psaro is a formidable opponent who uses both spells and physical techniques.
Psaro's Attacks & Spells:
- Roseguardin Companions: They teleport above their target and perform a sword slam.
5
Hate: Psaro will relentlessly pursue you, even turning 180 degrees mid-combo to hit multiple characters if he defeats one.
6
Spells:
7
Disruptive Wave: This spell dispels your team's helpful effects. You can't dodge it, but you can get in a free hit while he's casting it.
8
Zam: Four dark energy spheres spread out and curve erratically towards you. Dodge them similarly to the Darkling attack.
9
Kazam: A red warning appears on the ground, pulling you towards the center. Get in a few hits, then prepare to dodge. Trying to run out won't work due to the suction; you must escape right before the spell explodes.
10
Techniques: Psaro can end his combos early, so don't always expect the full three attacks.
11
"Out of my sight!": One to three mid-range slashes.
12
"Perish!": A lunge, possibly followed by a mid-range spinning attack, and then a sword slam that sends out a wave of energy. If you only dodge backward after hearing this, you'll likely get hit by the energy wave.
13
"A cut above!": A seven-swing strike ending in an energy pulse. This is only used when Psaro becomes stronger.
14
Liberation (66% HP): Psaro becomes stronger.
15
Liberation (33% HP): Psaro becomes even stronger.
16
Rotate Characters: Share the damage taken among your party. Use healing abilities like Healix or items to keep everyone topped up.
17
Build Tension: Using coups de grâce will daze him and build your Tension. High Tension makes you invincible, allowing for free hits.
18
Timing High Tension: I'd advise waiting until Psaro reaches his second Liberation (at 33% HP) before unleashing your high Tension mode. This minimizes the time you spend facing his strongest attacks.
19
Helpful Accessories: Tough Guy Tattoos and Prayer Rings were very helpful for me.
20
Master His Moves: The most important thing is getting used to his signature moves and countering them effectively.

Tips

You can increase your monster minion slots by turning in two lumps of platinum ore from Lethal Armours.
To increase your equipment item capacity, knock out a hellion, a boss troll, and a tyrantosaurus.
A costume color-swap for Doric is available if you knock down one tyrantosaurus.
