Take Out His Goons Immediately

DQ Treasures - Silverbones goons

Focus on taking out Silverbones' goons as soon as the battle starts as they will just make the fight more annoying. You can use a charge of your Dragon Dagger for a Dragon Attack to quickly dispose of them.

Exploit the Statues' Weaknesses

DQ Treasures - shooting the weakpoint

After taking out Silverbones' goons, he will start possessing the statues in the arena. Silverbones will move to a total of three statues, representing the three Sentinels that you have fought before. They will have the same resistances and weaknesses, as well as moveset, but with significantly reduced health.

Statue Weaknesses
Stone Beast of the Sands
Water Water
Ice Ice
Stone Beast of the Cinders

Ice Ice
Stone Beast of the Snows

Defeating each statue also damages Silverbones. Take down all three statues to move to the second phase.

Try to Keep an Ally Alive

Try to keep one of your ally monsters alive, preferably your strongest one, as you will need a Dragon Attack to quickly stun Silverbones during the second phase. Use Heal Pellets to heal your ally monster and revive it with your MP if needed.

You can also attempt to revive your other downed allies, but only if you have a lot of MP left. Otherwise, save your MP to heal yourself and to revive your strongest monster if necessary.

Use a Dragon Attack to Stun Silverbones

DQ Treasures - Silverbones stun gauge

While you can keep attacking Silverbones as normal until you fully deplete his health, a faster way to defeat him is to stun him repeatedly while taking back the Dragonstones. Keep an eye on Silverbones' attacks until one reveals a stun gauge above his health bar. A message will pop up on the right side of the screen to notify you about this ("This could be your chance to turn the tables!").

Quickly attack Silverbones while his stun gauge is present to stun him. Dragon Attacks can usually destroy this gauge right away so make sure to save your Dagger Gauge charges for these moments.

Take Back the Dragonstones

After stunning Silverbones, rush at him and hold the A button to trigger a unique "pinch". Successfully hitting the mark will take back two Dragonstones. Since there are seven to snatch, you'll have to do this four times.

Taking back all seven Dragonstones is an automatic victory, regardless of how much health Silverbones still has.
