The desert lands of Al-Balad and the nearby areas present unique dangers that require a strong defense. You will need to prepare for enemies that strike multiple friends at once and those who wait for you to make a mistake.

Skeleton Squire

You will find the Skeleton Squire when you visit the Emberdale region in the Present day. This enemy often uses skills that hit your entire team at the same time.

To survive these wide attacks, you must constantly cast Buff on your party members. Keeping your defense high at all times is the only way to stay ahead of the damage.

Setesh the Punisher

During your journey through the Past, you will eventually come across Setesh the Punisher. This boss is very dangerous, so you should bring a Priest along to handle the heavy healing needs of the group in DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined.

Start the fight by using Buff to raise the defense of everyone in your party. You must pay close attention to the stance of the boss. When Setesh the Punisher enters a counterattack stance, stop your offensive moves immediately.

Use this time to have your Priest and other members heal the team. Only start attacking again once the boss is no longer waiting to strike back.
