Continuation of the Feral Velocidrome Fight
The state you end up after completing the Feral Velocidrome fight will carry over in the Feral Gypceros fight. It means that your health, hearts, stamina, buffs and debuffs will remain so make sure to do your best in that fight so that you are prepared for this boss too.
How to Beat Dual Feral Velocidrome
Level Up to at Least Level 10
In this fight, Feral Gypceros is at level 12. If you can resist water attacks, it is enough to fight it at levels 8-10 so that you can survive its attacks then heal it back especially its status ailments.
EXP Guide: How to Level Up Fast
Use Fire Weapons and Edel Armor
Feral Gypceros is weak against fire attacks while dealing water attacks therefore, use fire weapons and specifically equip the Edel Armor so that you have high resistance against Water and Poison while having neutral resistance against Fire and Ice which is also great because you will also wear this against the Feral Velocidrome fight.
You can find the recipe for the Edel Armor once you complete the Finding the Regalfin Sidequest in Azuria.
Avoid Targeting the Head During Normal State
Make sure to avoid targeting the head part during its Normal state. Always check if your monstie is targeting it and if they do, redirect it to another part to avoid taking high single-target backlash damage.
Set Battle Allies to Prioritize Same Monster
You can also set your allies to target the same part that you did in the previous turn if you set their strategies before the fight to Prioritize Same Monster. You can do this by going in the menu, change battle allies then strategies on the top left of the screen.
Use A Hunting Horn With Bolstering Ballad
You can also use a Hunting Horn with a Bolstering Ballad skill to prevent any status ailment inflicted to your party for 3 turns. Make sure to case this at the first turn during its Normal state so that Fruit Frenzy will not be able to inflict any status ailment.

Fought During the Tracks Main Story Quest
