How do you beat dullahan

Element Swap 2. Curse Group F: 1. Fulminous Edge 2. Bind 3. Crucible Group G: 1. Attack 2. Dark Contact 3. Fulminous Edge Group H: 1. Element Swap 3. Unlike the GBA version, where he can pick any of his moves as starting move, when the battle with Dullahan starts, the first move he will use will be the first move of any of the eight "groups" listed above, chosen at random.

Following this, he will use every move to follow in exact order, and when he has carried out the last Attack in Group H, his next move will be the first Condemn in Group A. These 24 moves will therefore be cycled through indefinitely throughout the fight; note, however, that Dullahan will pass over using Break if no party members have any statistical increases that can be removed with Break at that point in time, and that Dullahan will similarly pass over using Crucible if there are no available Standby Djinn for the frontal party at that point in time.

Taking the above into consideration, the following strategic points present themselves:. Dullahan in this game is especially likely to be affected by Defense-lowering effects. Dullahan, like in the previous game, regenerates HP and PP at the end of every turn, effectively granting him infinite PP. Dullahan has little provided context and even less relevance to the story in the Golden Sun games themselves.

It is merely an extremely powerful entity resembling a large, animate suit of purplish-blue armor without a head, redesigned in its Dark Dawn appearance with a ghostly flame emitting from its head and a shield with a self-animating face which may possibly represent Dullahan's "head".

Regardless of the game, when Dullahan is approached by the party of Adepts near the end of the game, he telepathically recites the following line before attacking the party:. In the meantime, the Necromage class in The Lost Age , provided by the Tomegathericon item, includes a Psynergy that resembles the user summoning an image of Dullahan to attack an enemy with its extremely powerful Fulminous Edge, in the same vein as earlier-level Psynergy that lets the user call on images of zombies and demons to attack the target.

This is possible regardless of whether the real Dullahan in the Anemos Inner Sanctum has been defeated or not. It is unknown what relevance this has to the series lore. The dullahan is a powerful fairy from Irish folklore, and is essentially the Irish version of the Grim Reaper its name means "dark man". It takes the form of a horseman who carries his head under his shoulder.

This head has tiny, constantly flitting black eyes, a hideous ear-to-ear grin, and flesh the color and texture of moldy cheese. Often, the horse itself is headless, and the dullahan may drive a coach pulled by several such headless horses.

Gates cannot stop the dullahan's journey - they just unbar automatically as it approaches. Once the dullahan stops riding, it calls out a name.

The mortal who is named dies, and the dullahan drags their soul to the afterlife. Those who try to spy on the dullahan riding across the country are rewarded with a bucketful of blood splashed in their faces.

Curiously, dullahans are terrified of gold - even a gold pin can drive them away from their task. That dullahans are so closely associated with death is probably the reason why Necromages can call upon one to fight on their behalf, and why the boss can call on Charon so readily.

Level Psynergy costing 4 PP that displays a glowing symbol onto a targeted Adept. There is a chance that the target's Psynergy capabilities will be Sealed for a period of time.

Psynergy costing 5 PP that removes any statistical buffs from the current battling party. Piers must also be the slowest member of your team for this to work -- if he's not, give him Turtle Boots. The strategy works as follows:. Using this strategy, both Jenna and Felix can cast revive, if necessary, and any Water of Lifes should go to Sheba as Piers will be busy permanently casting Lull. Generally, this will kill Dullahan before he uses Djinn Storm, even with lower level characters.

However, if he's about to use it, switch Piers out for Mia before Dullahan casts Djinn Storm make sure your set up is roughly or exactly the same on your secondary team. Let the first team die with Mia and continue with your second team. You are guaranteed to defeat Dullahan before the second Djinn Storm comes, as you will effectively be dealing him between and damage with Sol Blade alone, by getting two attacks in per move Dullahan gets.

One important thing to keep in mind about this strategy is that it effectively enhances the effects of Curse in some respects, making it so you die in within 4 turns instead of 7.

This effect however, can be completely avoided by casting pre-emptive revives on the character that's about to die with a slower character. If you have a member that is down, it's better to use that one instead.

In the worst case you will have 2 members at full power the one in the back row and the one protected by Haze. In the best case, you will have 2 downed members along with them, so after you revive them, you will have your party at full power.

If you have a Ronin, it is a good idea to use Megiddo and Revenge. On strong members, a Megiddo or a 3-arrow Revenge will deal much more damage than any other skill. I was able to see a Revenge damage on Dullahan. In the newest installment of the series, Dullahan is somewhat more manageable. He resides at the bottom level of Crossbone Isle, on the right side the left side being home to Charon. His dwelling place is similar to that of his original encounter and he serves the same purpose: guarding the Iris summon tablet.

Thankfully, all 72 Djinn are not required to face this strong boss but it's advised to get as many as possible to help improve your parties chances of surviving. His HP once again is roughly 16,, and his attacks are similar to what he had available in the previous game. He regenerates HP per turn on top of whatever his skills may heal and will not run out of PP. Once again, Dullahan's attack sequence is pre-set, but he can start at any attack in the sequence that follows.

He still gets three attacks per turn. Cancelling his turns with Lull won't remove attacks from the sequence - he will resume exactly where he left off next turn. Psynergy sealing won't stop Djinn storm though Haunt and Curse will be skipped , but Doldrum and Ivy will as they stop anything. Break is only used if it will have an effect. Similarly, Crucible is skipped if you have no stand-by Djinn. Dullahan's command loop is as follows:.

Doldrum and Ivy will only stop the first of his three commands in a turn - however, you can manipulate his turn order by cancelling Break and Crucible as described above. In Dark Dawn, Dullahan does not require as much planning as in the previous game.

It is sufficient to use a basic Sol Matthew-centric strategy. That is, everyone has an identical role - to keep Matthew alive and preferably buffed up, except Matthew himself, who simply attacks. Matthew should be in a class that maximizes attack Chaos Lord or Master are adequate and should be wearing Critical gear.

Djinn that you intend to use should not be on Matthew. One or more in case your favourite healer gets downed or Djinn Stormed of your adepts should have the Wish series, and Revive. Chain and Kite can provide additional damage output which is appreciated in the face of Dullahan's healing capabilities, whenever the incoming damage dips. Shell and Chasm will help reduce incoming damage to pitiful levels, easily out-healed by Wish Wells or Pure Wishes.

It is not a waste of a turn to set these Djinn after use or, indeed to summon a small summon to put them into recovery. The usefulness of Forge and Stoke is not to be underestimated, and should be unleashed if your are in a healthy position. Use these as much as possible, especially against Fulminous Edge or Charon. Charon and Djinn Storm should be cancelled with Ivy or Doldrum where ever possible.

It's unlikely that you will get to cancel both. If Charon downs some party members, leave them on the floor until after Djinn Storm hits.

Haze protects the one adept from Djinn Storm. Make sure to switch Matthew out to the back row before Djinn Storm. Put him back afterwards to resume attacking. Recovering from a Djinn storm is not too difficult as long as you use Shell and Chasm appropriately, have a Reviver in the back row who can be switched in at any time, and have switched Matthew out in time the attacking must continue before Dullahan heals away all of your work. It seems that the name of the attack "Formina Sage" is just a mistake from the translation from Japanese to English.
