Level Up Fast in Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you want to get those levels up super quick in Dragon Quest XI S? I've got just the trick for you, and it involves some fancy Pep Powers. It's a bit of a setup, but once you nail it, you'll be swimming in EXP. Make sure you've got Hero, Erik, Jade, and Sylvando in your active party, and ideally, everyone should be pepped up. If not, don't worry, we'll get there.

Walkthrough

1
First things first, get Sylvando to use a Pep Pip on himself. Then, jump into a battle. Your goal here is to activate the Haullelujah Pep Power. This is a party-wide buff that seriously boosts the experience you gain.
2
Once Haullelujah is active, you'll want to swap Erik out for Rab. Don't worry, Erik will be back later. Now, on the Hero's next turn, have them use the Pep Up ability on themselves.
3
Next, have Sylvando use another Pep Pip, this time on Jade. The aim is to get as many party members pepped up as possible. Ideally, you want Hero, Rab, Jade, and Sylvando all pepped up.
4
This is the crucial part: you need to use the Electro Light Pep Power. Now, here's where a bit of luck comes in. If Electro Light summons robots instead of Metal Slimes, you've had bad luck. In this case, you'll need to reload your save from before you started this whole setup. Seriously, it's better to restart than to waste time on the wrong encounter.
5
If you *do* get Metal Slimes from Electro Light – congratulations! You're on the right track. At this point, you can swap Erik back into the party for Sylvando, as Sylvando's main job is done here.
6
When it's Rab's turn, have him use the Dirge of Dundrasil Pep Power. This is super important because it puts the Metal Slimes to sleep. This stops them from running away immediately and gives you a precious window to land critical hits.
7
Now, focus on using abilities that are guaranteed to crit or have a high critical hit chance. Avoid using normal attacks or standard abilities, as these might wake the Metal Slimes up, and they'll vanish into thin air.

Tips

If you're level 70+, this method is incredibly effective. With two Vicious Liquid Metal Slimes and a Vicious Metal King Slime, you can expect to gain around 500,000 EXP for your entire party in a single fight.
The boost from Haullelujah isn't fixed; it has a random range that's determined when you cast it.
If you manage to defeat a Vicious Metal King Slime (especially past level 70), it has a rare chance to drop a Pep Pip. Thanks to Haullelujah, you're almost guaranteed to get one, which is great for setting up your next round of Pep Powers.
With consistent execution, you can reach level 99 in just a couple of hours using this method. It's the fastest way to grind in the game.
Remember to save your game *before* you start this process. If you get the wrong encounter with Electro Light, reloading is much faster than trying to salvage the situation.

Massive amounts of experience points, allowing you to reach level 99 very quickly.
