Final Fantasy 15 Dungeon Guide – Daurell Caverns

Final Fantasy XV features many higher level dungeons but fortunately for the budding explorer, there’s a few on the lower level spectrum too. This Final Fantasy 15 Dungeon Guide – Daurell Caverns focuses on the Daurell Caverns and provides information on monsters, rewards, boss battles and other useful tidbits. Completing Duarell Caverns is one of the requirements to obtain the special key that opens the special locked doors in all dungeons.

Daurell Caverns Dungeon Guide – Monsters

Most of the monsters inside Daurell Caverns are rather easy to take down, with the exception of the Necromancer. They do a lot of damage, can summon allies and also use Petrify on any of your party members.

Daurell Caverns Dungeon Guide – Boss Battles

There is a hidden area in the boss room but it’s not easy to reach. Search the upper walls and you’ll see a ladder that you can knock down, however this platform can only be reached using Noctis Warp Strike. Use it to reach the ledge and jump up. Then kill all the enemies to crawl through. This leads to one of the special doors that you cannot unlock until the end of the game.

The boss battle is a simple Iron Giant battle. Take down all of the other enemies in the room first and then focus the Iron Giant. Make sure to pay close attention as the parry counter attack disarms his resistances and makes him much more susceptible to damage.

Iron Giant (Level 30)
Weakness: N/A
