Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D Remake (DQ2)

How to Beat Lunagriff

Add to Watchlist

Lunagriff is a boss encountered in the Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D Remake (DQ2). See how to beat this boss, the best equipment for the fight, and the boss' stats and moves here.

How to Beat Lunagriff

Spam Kabuff, Attack Attacker, and Magic Barrier

Lunagriff has an attack that hits all party members and heals them for a percentage of the damage dealt. To minimize the damage taken and healing done to the boss, it's recommended to increase the party's defense with Kabuff and reduce the boss's attack with Attack Attacker.

Besides that, the boss can also use Kaswoosh, which deals heavy damage to the entire party. Make sure to also have Magic Barrier active as well, so that you won't get wiped by a combination of the two attacks.

Bring Anti-Paralysis and Fizzle Equipment

Outside of the high-damage attacks of the boss, the hardest part of this fight is dealing with the Paralysis and Fizzle statuses that they can apply. To prevent your party members from getting affected, it's recommended that everyone has a Banishing Bell and Full Moon Ring equipped for the fight.

All Status Effects and How to Cure Them

Have Healing Items in Everyone's Inventory

If you're not using anti-status equipment, your party members may get affected by Fizzle or Paralysis. If this happens, the affected character won't be able to heal using spells, so it's recommended to pack healing items in everyone's inventory, just in case.

List of All Healing Items

Use Demon Demeaner

It's recommended to use the Prince of Midenhall as the main attacker with Demon Demeaner for this fight. Besides being extremely effective against the boss, you won't have to worry about him getting Fizzled since he can't cast spells anyways.

Demon Demeaner Effect and Level Learned

Make Sure Everyone's HP Topped Up

The Lunagriff has a pretty high Agility stat, meaning that it can act before your party. Because of this, it's recommended to keep everyone at high HP after setting up buffs so that no one gets knocked out before acting.
