You will also be able to use your Catapult after. Use this opportunity to practice using your ranged weapon and its Pellets!

24 Approach Erik
25 Follow Erik and board the train

Boss Strategy: Heartless Hunter

Attack From Behind or From Afar

DQ Treasures - use catapult on the Heartless Hunter

The first boss that you will encounter will be fairly easy. You can have your allies take the Heartless Hunter head-on while you snipe it with your catapult. If you want close combat, you can do so by attacking it from behind, but be careful of its spinning slash as this attack can hit everyone around the boss!
