Learn how to defeat the Ruffled Goon, Mud Mannequin, and Metal Slime in Dragon Quest VI. This guide provides tips and strategies to overcome these challenging enemies.
Alright, so you've just set out from Luca's house with Milly tagging along. She's a temporary party member for now, joining at Level 5. She's got a Bronze Knife and Silk Robe, and her title is 'Mysterious Girl.' Milly's got some useful Field Magic like Heal and Squelch (great for poison!) and a Battle Ability called Buff, which boosts everyone's defense. Don't worry about her equipment or stats too much, though – you can't change her gear or control her in battle, and she doesn't even gain experience or level up. Still, her healing and poison-curing spells can be a lifesaver, especially since the Bubble Slimes around here love to inflict poison!
As you head west and cross that little bridge, the enemies start to get a bit more serious. You'll run into Goons that like to cast Kasap, lowering your party's defense. Babygoyles will hit everyone with a Sizz spell for about 10-15 damage, and Goblin Pixies can gang up on one person with a Crack spell. Watch out for Hell Hornets too, as they can paralyze you, making you unable to act. Milly's MP pool is pretty good compared to the Hero's right now, so use her to keep the party healed up between fights. Just keep an eye on her MP, though – you don't want her running dry!
The grotto you're looking for is on the map to the south of the bridge, pretty much surrounded by mountains, so you can't miss it. Use the 'Y' button to get a clear look at its location. By the time we got to the entrance, the Hero was Level 12 and Carver was Level 11. Remember, you can always Zoom back to Port Haven, Alltrades Abbey, or Madame Luca's house to rest up for free whenever you need to.
