How to Beat the Original Demon

The Original Demon is an Arena boss encountered in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined (DQ7). See how to beat the Dragonlord, recommended equipment for the fight, and the boss' information here.

How to Beat The Original Demon

Aim for a Total of 6000 Damage per Turn

The Dragonlord has about 24000 HP, requiring you to deal as much damage as you can to defeat it in less than 25 turns.

Dealing around 6000 Damage per turn is possible with Multifists that is buffed by Aishe's Armamentalist and Dancer skills.

List of All Buffing Skills

Have Magic Barrier Ready to Nullify Spell Damage

Magic Barrier effectively reduces the damage the Dragonlord can inflict with its various AOE Skills.

Make sure to play Aishe as an Armamentalist to gain access to Magic Barrier and protect the party as much as possible.

How to Learn Magic Barrier and Effects

Defeat Dragonlord Before it Lets Loose

Let Loose

Try to defeat the Dragonlord before it Lets Loose, since its Let Loose causes its attacks to reduce the target's Fire Resistance.

Give your party the best equipment, and make sure to raise the party's level to make the fight easier.
