In the example above, you still paralyze the boss for 1 turn (he has 2 paralyze resist), and 1 turn of paralyze is basically useless but if you have the Magic Chains Journeman/Expert, then you can paralyze him for longer.
I think for the more difficult boss battles I'll have to have more than 1 enemy, since designing a tough boss battle with just 1 enemy is hard (and in this game with limited healing/SP is even more).

Re: dungeons exploration
Please no elemental fanservice lol. You're heading down a dark road.
If at first try it doesn't explode, it ain't Jack who wrote the code.

This must be the dance-off minigame you were talking about.

Re: dungeons exploration
work continues, I'm on catacombs level 4. I am using a cheat to raise the party XP every level, since I don't want someone to be able to complete the whole 9 levels of the catacomb in a single try, without doing any other activity
In practice the catacomb should be possible at certain levels like:
level 1 => party level1
level 2 => party level3
level 3 => party level6
level 4 => party level9
level 5 => party level12
level 6 => party level15
level 7 => party level18
level 8 => party level21
level 9 => party level24+
that is the reference I'll use while testing myself. In the image above 3 spiders were clearly too much since they wiped out my party (though I noticed that some battles change completely depending the order in which you execute your actions, but I don't think this is the case).
Obviously, tweaks during testing will be needed

Spider poison cutting group's damage in half. Fun fun.

Re: dungeons exploration
They have poison bites (DoT and critical hit reduce) and cast spider's net (slow). I just noticed that both poison and spider net were reducing critical so I'll do something else instead. But yeah 3 spiders at once are too much
edit: actually not. I always forget how placement and actions really matters in this game. I was grouping the party together so the spiders AOE were doing max damage. Was enough to "ungroup" my party and voilà, relatively easy
