Strategy[]
Moltaan's attacks come in 4 forms:
- Basic Attack
- Tail Flail
- Blazing Breath
- Volcanic Roar
This boss, while tedious, can actually be quite easy. The key is to make sure you have plenty of provisions to regain MP. Set tactics for Esther to keep Oliver healthy. Then, as Oliver, choose your Seed Sprite Familiar (the one that hatched from the egg in the Golden Grove. The Seed Sprite is a Nymphae) and begin spamming "Water Bomb" (there is also Esther's "Gogo" Drongo, an Aves with the Water Trick "Splish Splash", and the Water-damage Miracle Move "Ice Age"). While Drippy tells you that Moltaan's tail is his weakness, this damage difference is negligible (but still try and hit his tail anyway for that little extra damage). Most likely, if you keep your distance, Esther will distract Moltaan. As a result, try to keep Esther alive.
Keep your distance as Tail Flail and Blazing Breath only affect you if you're nearby. Once your Familiar's 30 seconds are up, return to Oliver. Use Provisions if you need to, but I wouldn't focus too much on attacking Moltaan. It's tempting to use Frostbite, but it does approximately the same damage as Water Bomb and uses 50% more MP.
Halfway through the fight, Moltaan will begin using Volcanic Roar. His attack pattern changes to 5 Blazing Breaths, then 1 Volcanic Roar. As soon as you see the bubble above his head, quickly switch back to Oliver and use Defend. Not doing so will cause a lot of damage. Expect Esther to die pretty soon after this point (if she hasn't already).
Eventually his health will diminish to zero, he'll trip back into the volcano, Oliver shoots a bolt at the boulder, which falls and crushed Moltaan and keeps the volcano from erupting. If you use your Seed Sprite, it is best to equip it with a Flame Robe from a Swift Solution Bounty Hunt that has you face an Adamantiger in the far east of the Shimmering Sands.
