Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined (DQ7)

How to Beat Gracos V

Add to Watchlist

Gracos V

Gracos V 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 Gracos V

Apply Buff to Party

Buff

Due to Gracos V's high attack and unpredictability, make sure to constantly cast buff on the Party.

You can also pair this with lowering Gracos V's accuracy, to increase the chance of the party surviving, regardless of what attack Gracos V does.

How to Learn Buff and Effects

Cure Poison Immediately

Gracos V Poison Breath

After Gracos V uses the Poison Breath skill, most, if not all of your party members will be envenomed. Make sure to immediately cure the poison by using skills or items.

Since Gracos V will recover HP during Let Loose, a battle of attrition where your party is envenomed, and Gracos V healing is unfavourable, and can lead to a quick defeat.
