Maleficent Dragon on Expert

[Hikari713]

I don't know why since i've beat expert mode three times LOL but i can't seem to beat Maleficent dragon this time around.

[Angelsinflight]

get up on the thorns and shoot magic at her! lol dont worry about healing your party members. if at all you get bored with that (cause i did) then just try jumping on her back and attacking, but avoid her ALL her attacks. thats basically all i remember...

[mongoose300]

Summon tink and if you still have a lot of trouble then cast aero. Hide in the thorns if you really need it and if you still cant beat her then level up some.

[MARLUXIA1]

Why don't you use gravity, with 1 hit I defeated her.

[mongoose300]

wow. thats some lie right there.

[Tragic Fall]

Get up on the thorns and stay there. Let you party members do the work. The best team is Donald and Beast. Heal them when they die. When the Dragon's health is low enough, get down there and kick her @$$.

[Demi_Shock]

get right under her head. make sure you're at a high enough level, proly 60 or so. Beat her down, the flames wont get you as much from right under her head.

get far enough away, use stike raid a whole bunch, make sure you have lots of ethers.

[System Shock]

You can hide in thorns, safest bet. I just don't like to do it because, it's like cheating. Otherwise you can attack with magic keeping a distance and dodging the dragon's attacks. You do it the way you were meant to do it and get up on it's back and jump to hit in the head, dodging it's attacks, etc., but that's very hard. Also make good use of your summons, they help...a lot.

use aero and tinker bell. they are protection. also carry potions and make goofy have mp gift if he has it.

[sora007]

ok do you see the green vine looking things? when you are about to die, go to those vines, there is a little hole, go into that hole, and she can't see you
Then heal everyone and attack

[Raeneth]

Hmm, maybe I was overleveled for this fight on Expert, but I approached it the same way I did when I first played through (and died five times or so). I just basically get up there and hack away with Tink support. I don't even bother with teammates since they're dead all the time anyway >_>

[SkyBlueSora]

hm....
number1 xenmas or how he will not call.... rigth.
try to climb on her from behind, and then hit her.
use aero, and go close to ehr and hit her.
and tinker bell too....
oh, and just, figth, figth, figth!
put the heal on L1(fast things, forget how to say that) and figth, figth, figth!

[firegirl]

I was stuck on that too thanx guys!

[Wisdom Booigi]

Ummm. Don't use TINKER BELL! Use Cura when needed too. Besides you need Strike Raid! But first you need to get on the Dragon's Back. Then do Strike Raid.

[KHKoopa]

You have many different ways on how to beat her.
1. Get in the corner between the thorns and the wall to where to fire and shockwaves cant hit you lock on to her and watch her HP go down and when her HP bar is out use fire blizzard or thunder.

2.Summon Tinkerbell and just get in front of her and attack her. When she breathes fire glide away on top of the thors. When it follows you use glide guard or dodge roll.

3.Summon Tinkerbell than get on her back and use Ars. Arcanum and Strike Raid. To do this make sure you have plenty of MP restoring items.
