How To Beat The Elphidran Alpha Boss
Todefeat the Elphidran Alpha Boss, you’ll need to bring some tough Pals.Dragon Pals are weak to ice, so you’ll ideally want to bring a few Ice Pals to help you lower Elphidran’s health.
You can defeat Elphidran with arrows, though you will want at least the Makeshift Handgun to put a dent in its health on your own.
Chillet, Dancer on the Plains,is an Ice/Dragon Pal that works well once you level them up to around 30. You can also bring Pals like Pengullet, Penking, and Reindrix to help with the Ice damage that will quickly reduce Elphidran’s health.
Make sure to recall your Pals when Elphidran has low health so that they don’t accidentally defeat them before you’re able to try catching them.
Once youdrop down to the last 100 hit points, pull out your Pal Spheres and attempt to catch Elphidran. Catching the Gentle Sky Dragon is no small feat, and it willgrant you a lot of experienceand a new mount.
