Eh hey guys this may be off topic but I am having trouble with the 4th boss.  That big slime thing.  What type of character should I use to beat it?  I think I need help keeping my def and agility up.  My main is a warrior.  So what moves should I use, etc?

that thing was the first hard boss in the game thans to its 2 attacks around  and  lowering the parties def and agi

you just need to do is gain a few levels and get better items make sure your healer is set on always heal

Not Off-Topic at all! This is the Dragon Quest IX Topic, after all!

If you see Robio on, ask him... I am absolutely sure, by now, he has gotten past this guy!

Hey there N1nt3nd0gam3r!  Big slime thing. . . are you talking about the Ragin' Contagion (wow the puns in this game are rough)?  You've probably gotten past it by now, but if not I'll try to help.

I'll be honest with you I got a little lucky in that battle. In the middle of the fight my Priest got a coupe de grace and in her case that means total healing for every member of the party.  But regardless the major thing I can suggest of lots of generous healing.  Any character who can needs to be prepared to do it at any given time since the RC can attack twice per round.  I had my hero, thief (who oddly can heal), and priest all doing it.  Medical herbs are a suitable replacement if you have to use them.  When the RC starts focusing on raising his defense that's a good time to heal.  

If your hero or if you have a warrior and you've been leveling up the shield abilities it will also pay off big in this battle.  If that's not available try to have the hero cheer your strongest attacker to raise his tension and have him release it at 20% or more if you can.  Because he can raise his defence a mage using attack magic will be helpful too. Maybe even use the hero's Crack spell if you need to.

By the way Egg, love the icon.  The Orochi is kind of my first memory of DQIII. I visited a friend's house and at the time he was in Jipang fighting it.  Good times.
