Add to Watchlist

Slaughtomaton

The Slaughtomaton is a boss encountered in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined (DQ7). See how to beat this boss, recommended equipment for the fight, and the boss' information here.

How to Beat The Slaughtomaton

Use Ice and Lightning Skills

Maribel Casts Crack

The Slaughtomaton is weak to both Ice and Lightning Skills. Use Maribel's Crack and Kiefer's Lightning Slash to deal high amounts of damage.

Both Kiefer and Maribel's Let Loose abilities also increase their damage output, which can help shorten the boss fight.

List of All Offensive Skills

Use Aqua Slash to Reduce Lightning Resistance

Hero Aqua Slash

Use Hero's Aqua Slash from the Fledgling Fisherman vocation to reduce Slaughtomaton's Lightning resistance.

This allows Kiefer to deal even more damage with Lightning Slash, allowing you to finish the fight faster.

How to Learn Aqua Slash and Effects

Use Hero and Ruff as Supports

Versus Slaughtomaton

Hero's Skills at this stage is more suited for a supporter role, so make sure to make use of skills like Buff and Heal to support Kiefer and Maribel.

While Ruff can deal decent damage on his own, use Ruff's turn to use Items as needed since his damage will be slightly less than Maribel and Kiefer due to their elemental advantage.
