Superbosses

Similar to other MMOs or the rest of the series, Dragon Quest X has a handful amount of Superbosses added through some of the later versions, unlike the average bosses available through the main story, these require strategy and make the most use of all the vocations available. To make the entry point more easy for new players getting into these bosses, most of these have different levels of difficulty between I through V.

Version 3: Everdark War (常闇の聖戦)
The Everdark War consist on endgame content where you fight against powerful bosses inhabiting the continent of Nadragand. During v3.1 throught the rest of version 3, three bosses were added on three different realms. The strength of each one used to depend on what the current time (JST) was but, since v5.0 they included a fifth difficulty (Strength V) and the ability to select the Strength by yourself. Hand 5 Dragonite fangs (you used to need 10 before v5.5), interact with the corresponding NPC/Teleportal and you have 20 minutes to finish the battle.

Unlock Requirements

 * Clear v3.1 Story (v3.3 and v3.5 for the subsequent bosses)

About Dragonite fangs
As mentioned before, you need a material item called "Dragonite", these fangs are 100% required to start the battle. The fang collection starts by talking to the Guide NPC (Prinella, Management terminal Q485, Dark), they have an option to cast a "charm spell" on you, this spell grants you a 100% chance to get "Dragonite Shards" as drop from a monster selected by the NPC (there's also a 10% chance to get a "Dragonite" fang).

After collecting enough shards, go to the corresponding NPC, you can exchange 10 "Dragonite Shards" for 1 "Dragonite" fang.

This monster won't change until the next day at 6:00 JST and it can be one of the following:
 * Axesaurus (アックスドラゴン)
 * Dragster (ヘルジュラシック)
 * Elder Dragon (エルダードラゴン)
 * Mandrake Militant (アッシュリザード)
 * Drakulurch (ベヒードス)

You can also buy Dragonite fangs through Bazaar if you don't want to spend time grinding.

If you manage to defeat the boss, the 5 Dragonite fangs you used will disappear from your Item bag, otherwise they won't.

Following from the Everdark War, Battle of the Holy Guardians is the most difficult battle content in Dragon Quest X.

About Demon Orbs
Before being able to start any of the fights you need to own 10 Demon Orbs. Unlike the grinding for Dragonite fangs, if you talk to Uriel he will tell you about the monsters who drop the orbs without the need of a "spell" to increase the drops to 100%, so, easy the grind by having or being a Thief and collect orbs. These are the monsters who drop orbs: Same as before, if you don't want to grind, you can always buy them through bazaar if you have enough gold.
