Trying to obtain leviathan. Advice?

You can either attempt to kill the boss very fast with grace,
Or do it very slowly with a levitation unit helping u survive maelstrom.
Having a control time + 2 unit will definitely give u a easier time dodging her moves.
Having anti-ice caps will help u survive the attacks too.
Do aware that leviathan drops in lower difficulties too, so you can just try grinding them if the ultra one is too hard for you.

 

I am moving this to Squad Help since you are asking advice for a specific dungeon.

I have completed Neo Leviathan myself with an almost maxed team (all members L70, job 3) without any ice elements. However, some members barely survived, so I can see why that is difficult for you.

For drop rates, please refer to the update notes, these have been discussed many times in the forum.

Also, to get advice, you should probably mention which characters you have (rather than saying your characters are around 40-50 level).

 

For anyone who has negotiator plus, the easiest way to get Leviathan by far is to activate it when killing him (which you can guarantee with a power point) to make the drop rate 100% in Leviathan Descended. Even regular negotiator makes it 100% drop rate if you activate it twice with a double pincer that kills him.

 

i got it on my 6th easy mode try.. where as my mate got his on his first easy mode try

 

Are you 100% sure about this? I just got yukken, my party is strong enough to beat 3rd dungeon probably but id rather spend my stamina in levelling up characters

 

From what I've seen in the code/data, a single activation of negotiator plus multiplies a monster's drop rate 9x, so 20% (the drop rate on the easiest dungeon) times 9 easily reaches 100% (and a double activation of regular negotiator is 5x, which is just barely enough to reach 100% chance as well). I tried it out just now with Yukken and got Leviathan easily on my first try. I think I was probably wrong about negotiator (plus) being able to stack across multiple turns, which is why I included that it should be on the turn that kills him, with a power point to ensure it activates and make it easier to kill him that turn. After you have Leviathan, the only way to get extra Leviathans for skill up purposes is by beating the 3rd dungeon though.

 

I suggest you focus on level up on 15-9 and time the metal zone to get your guys to lv50. then you can finish descend.

 

15-9? Why not 20?

 

I dindt know there was a negotiator and a plus version which isnt stackable, which one does yukken have? Is it also good for items?

 

Yukken and Rikken both have the plus version. Both types stack additively but (I think) get cleared at the start of each turn. Neither affects items, only monster drops.

 

here's the grace method of kill the third levi. just make sure that she is in all 4 sequences of attacks to apply four stacks of defense downs on levi.

 

I think the poster is only at chapter 18

 

We are consolidating Leviathan strategy and discussion threads. I am closing this one.
