Tyranno Valley

Before proceeding, you will need to gain a few levels. Raise your main digivolutions up to Skill LV 20, and your Rookie Digimon up to the level 8-10 range.

Tip: The Triceramon and Tyrannomon around the area are easy to beat, and will reward you with the highest EXP so far.
  • Triceramon, the most common wild Digimon in Tyranno Valley, gives 30 EXP. It can also drop a TNT Ball, which you will need later in the main story.
  • Tyrannomon, the second-most common encounter, gives 31 EXP.

Then here’s how to navigate the area:

From the entrance, walk in a straight line and climb up the ladder.

Next, walk north and climb up the ladder. You can ignore the ladders on the left and on the right side.

Continue until you reach the end, and then climb up the ladder.

Once you reach the top, walk up to MasterTyrannomon. Heal your party, and then talk to MasterTyrannomon in order to fight it.

MasterTyrannomon Boss Fight

MasterTyrannomon Details
Elemental Weakness Ice
Neutral Damage Darkness, Metal, Thunder, Water, Wind
Elemental Resistance Fire

MasterTyrannomon has a relatively high Attack stat. Its signature tech, Master Fire, will deal moderate to high Fire damage (between 200-250, going up to 400 for critical hits).

Heal through MasterTyrannomon’s damage with Power Charges as soon as your Digimon’s health drops below 30%.

Dinohumon (Kotemon) and Kyubimon (Renamon) can both learn Ice techniques at Skill LV 15. While Dinohumon learns the physical tech Frost Blade, Kyubimon learns the magic tech Ice Blow.

Exploiting MasterTyrannomon’s elemental weaknesses is the quickest way to win this fight.

Dinohumon and Kyubimon can finish it off in three turns.

Party C will have a harder time. Grizzmon (Kumamon) can deal neutral damage to MasterTyrannomon with Thunder (Lightning Slash) and Wind (Whirlwind) techs. In Party C’s case, you will probably take between five and eight turns to win the fight.

Angemon (Patamon) can also deal neutral Wind damage with Air Blast, but this Digimon lacks the offensive power to be a viable option.

If you struggle to beat Master Tyrannomon, here are some additional tips:

  • Raise your main digivolutions’ Skill LV up to 25, and your Rookie Digimon all the way up to level 10.
  • Return to Asuka City and buy a Fire Ring from Gomamon’s Pawn Shop. This accessory will boost your Digimon’s elemental resistance against Fire techniques.
  • Go back to Protocol Forest and fight a few Gekomon to obtain an Ice Power 1 as a drop. Ice Power is an accessory that 1 adds a small amount of Ice elemental damage to the equipped Digimon’s techniques.

After you defeat MasterTyrannomon, it will give you the Old Claw as a reward.

You can now return to Seiryu City and fight the Seiryu Leader.

Seiryu Leader Boss Fight

Enter Seiryu Tower and head to the second floor again.

Walk to the door behind Repeating Tom in order to access the arena.

Note: The game will progress automatically once you enter the arena, so make sure that your party is fully healed before proceeding.

Seiryu Leader Details
Digimon Elemental Weaknesses Neutral Damage Elemental Resistances
Minotarumon Fire Dark, Ice, Machine, Thunder, Water Wind
Tyrannomon Ice Dark, Machine, Thunder, Water, Wind Fire
Apemon Dark, Fire Machine, Thunder, Water Ice, Wind

Minotarumon and Tyrannomon won’t pose much of a problem, and will go down in two turns each if you exploit their respective elemental weakness.

Apemon can be tricky to deal with, as it hits hard, has a sizable HP pool, and also has a very high Speed stat.

Because of its high Speed, Apemon will be able to act twice per turn.

If you chose Party A or Party B, you will be able to perform a DNA DV in battle to quickly beat Apemon.

At this point in the game, you will be able to DNA DV into Agunimon, which is a Fire element Digimon. The following combinations will DNA DV into Agunimon:

  • Dinohumon (Kotemon) + Kyubimon (Renamon)
  • Greymon (Agumon) + Hookmon (Monmon)

If you struggle to take down Apemon, here are some tips:

  • Return to Tyranno Valley and raise your main digivolutions up to Skill LV 25, and your Rookie Digimon up to level 10.
  • Still in Tyranno Valley, defeat a few Tyrannomon until you obtain a Fire Power 1 as a drop. Fire Power 1 will add a small amount of Fire elemental damage to the equipped Digimon’s techniques. Keep in mind that, in turn, Fire Power 1 will make your techs slightly weaker against Seiryu Leader’s Tyrannomon.

Once you defeat the Seiryu Leader, he will give you the Seiryu Badge and a Silver Ticket as rewards.
