Raise Your Level to Around 30

Raise your level to be around 30

Meline Crystal Caverns can be cleared comfortably if your character's level is around 30. Not only are there a wide variety of enemies, but their attacks can deal a lot of damage in a short time, so be sure to raise other skills such as Farming to get to the appropriate level.

Equip the Steel Edge as Your Main Weapon

Get the steel edge to have a battle advantage

Steel Edge is a Dual Blade weapon you can obtain in the Kelve Lava Caves. It not only allows you to attack quickly, but its damage output is also very high, making it the ideal weapon to take on the various enemies in the caverns.

Stay Healthy by Picking Up the Cure Spell

Get the Cure Spell to make battling easier

The Cure Spell can be found in the chest right before the central staircase on B1 of the caverns. Since it uses RP instead of items to restore your HP, it makes both exploration and combat much easier.

How to Defeat the Meline Crystal Caverns Boss: Kraken

Battle Tips
・Wait for an opening and attack it head on
・Watch out for its projectile attack
・Continue Moving when it dives underground

Wait For an Opening and Attack it Head on

Attack when you see an opening

Since Kraken is in the water, you aren't able to attack it while you are on land. Because of this you are forced to attack it head on. As this can be very risky, be sure to wait until Kraken finishes attacking, while constantly moving to avoid its various attacks.

Watch Out For its Projectile Attack

Avoid the multiple projectiles

Watch out for the large amount of projectiles that Kraken fires in one of its attacks. Their landing spot is determined by a red circle, so avoid standing in those areas to reduce damage taken.

Keep Moving When it Dives Underwater

Keep moving to avoid the tentacles

Start running when you see Kraken dive underwater. If you stand still, you will be attacked by its tentacles that pop out of the water and take massive damage. As long as you continue to move, you can easily avoid this attack.
