off-line leveling

[Shadamoo]

I finally beat Dal Ral Lie (Ult Caves boss), at Lv83 (with only 2 out of 10 scape dolls used, and the last one was a purposed suicide attempt with my Musashi's beserk special!), so I'll help you peeps if you are HUmars.
Caves 2 and 3 are hell, and you WILL die repeatedly, even with Jellen/Zalure! Bloody unexpected fire mines that rip 3/4 of your health per hit....
Anyway, I strongly suggest getting your most powerful slicer and using this everytime hes swimming along side. Magic techs suck ass here. Make sure you lower his defense all the time with Zalure. When he comes onto the barge, do a Weak, Strong, Strong combo. Quick weapons like Duble Sabers and Twins are great here. Have a MAG (Bhirava is what I used) that cast invincibitly when the bar fills if possible. Bring Dimates and Difluids. Make sure you have maore than half health at all times, unless you want to suicide the boss.
I used these techniques to rip him apart. And the cheeky bugger left me 2800 meseta!!!
