Alot of people i talk to say they have had a terribly difficult time fighting the elder wyrm, one even taking 2 weeks to beat him. I personally found him easy and my party people were all lvl 27 except basch who was 28. Who else, if anyone else, also found this to be an easy fight?
 
First file, I freaked, and took the optional route. Second file, I'd levelled up a bit more, and beat him first time round, luckily. He can be tough, especially if you don't have remedies and Esuna.
 
i set gambits to use esuna when he started using his special spore attack and i cast bravery i think on basch and vaan who had deathbringer and vaan had a spear (cant remember type) and he was no trouble under the circumstances i just kept ashe in the back the whole time
 
in the mine you find basch in (cant remember the name) when you go back later you go into a hidden room and steal it from a rare mimic monster

if you want more detail ask judge rulia she is the expert

There is another route to Paramina, its through Feywood but you'll have to evade those Deadly Nightshades.
 
Yeah, and avoid the tough coeurls too in Golmore lol - I barely escaped alive!
 
I prefer fighting the eldar wyrm ^_^
It all depends on your abilities and items and how quickly you heal the negative status effects
 
i fought it through lack of choice because i could not make it through the feywood alive so i just trained up and fought elder wyrm
 
I've heard that he's just as hard as Tiamat... however, I found this one much tougher. Sporefall took me a good while to recover from each time he used it.
With Tiamat, on the other hand, I mist-chained him but didn't do much damage. I still managed to win with little or no MP.
 
Tiamat is only hard because the bosses from then on become alot harder and the usual gambit technique that the player has been using has to be changed slightly.
Since tiamat only does physical attacks he is easy whereas eldar wyrm has a range of attack like physical ones, fireball and status effects.
 
I couldn't bear fighting him on 2 tries so I owned him in 1 fight. xD
That was 30 minutes after beating Tiamat in the Henne Mines too. :D
Also, yeah, that spore fall thing was, if it's even possible, worse than Cloying Breath and Bad Breath by those Marlboros.

But either way, I just summoned Belias, let him take off tons of HP from Elder Wyrm, and just kept on attacking. I think all my characters were leveled 23 on that try. It took a while but I beat him in the end. Tough, but achievable.
 
simple thing. if you find him hard leg it through the feywood and come back to him later. (Make sure you flee going through the feywood)
 
I thought the trees collapsed on the entire glade and you couldn't get out. :confused:
Or maybe that's a different version of the game.

In either case, there's no way I could leg it through the Feywood since it's all the way back behind me, what with the road being blocked by those Hellhounds, and all that other jazz, and from what I've seen of the Feywood, they have tough monsters. o,_,o
 
it does have tough monsters but i couldn't be bothered with the elder wyrm just yet so i fleed through there at about level 23
 
I as well didn't know there was an optional path and Elder Wyrm kept kicking my ass royally for a few days. I just leveled up in the Jungle for a while and got all my Mist Knack levels up and went into battle to kick ass. The Status Effect attack was a bitch to deal with, but after i got him down low, I used my Quickening and buried him.
