How to Defeat Dread Comet in FF16
Dread Comet is a level 38 A-rank Chocobo, so stack some potions and elixirs for the battle. Dread Comet cannot be staggered and a has few attacks, but each is powerful enough to reduce your health.
It will mostly charge at you or use its beak to damage you, so you must be ready to dodge it. Dread Comet has a couple of meteor attacks (Choco Meteor and Choco Meteorain), which must be avoided, or you will lose much of your health in FF16.
In addition to these fireballs from above, a shockwave will be produced when these meteors hit the ground. So, by dodging these meteors, you must get away from the area to avoid these shockwaves. You must not lose attention in the battle, or you will fall prey to these meteors.
