How to Beat Abysmerelda

Add to Watchlist

Abysmerelda 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.

Erdrick Trilogy Attention! This page contains major spoliers for Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D Remake! Continue reading on at your own risk.

How to Beat Abysmerelda

Use Brownie Boost and Magic Barrier

Start the turn by raising your defenses with Brownie Boost and Magic Barrier. Brownie Boost can help restore your MP and HP, while Magic Barrier prevents you from taking too much damage from spells, which Abysmerelda can deal in huge amounts.

Magic Barrier Effect and Level Learned

Equip Banishing Bell

Abysmerelda can also cast several spells that inflict status conditions, making Banishing Bell one of the most recommended accessories to equip on your party members. This should prevent your team from getting inflicted with status conditions!

All Status Effects and How to Cure Them

Bring Recovery Items

Abysmerelda will also prevent your team from using healing spells. This makes it necessary to stock up on medicine or any healing items before the battle, as this will be your only source of recovery moving forward.

List of All Healing Items

Use Dragon Slash

When given a chance to go on the offensive, use Dragon Slash against Abysmerelda to deal huge damage. You can boost this further with Oomph and Egg On to increase the damage output.
