The sorcerer spell which makes dragons sleep and and the cleric spell which halves enemy hitpoints are very useful in the battle.

I was under the impression that the Megadragon is immune to these spells (and everything besides physical damage). I just tried fighting the Megadragon and Mass Distortion didn't work any of the times I tried it. My Archer didn't have Dragon Sleep so I didn't try that one. To beat the Megadragon without anyone dying, you need to get lucky.

I took my party of 3 HOrc Barbs, 1 Dwarf Ninja, 1 Human Paladin, 1 Human Archer (Paladin level 150, rest level 110) and visited the the +50 level fountain on Dragon Cloud, the fountain in Vertigo for full HP, the A1 fountain for +2500 HP, the +all resistances fountain in B1, and the +100 luck fountain in B4 and cast (post-level buff) Day of Sorcery and Day of Protection. I remember fighting the Megadragon 10-12 times- of those I only lost one fight but I think I only beat it without a character dying once or twice. Typically I'd lose 1-3 party members. Obsidian Dragon Slaying weapons could help shorten the fight but your resistance/protection is never going to get high enough that the Megadragon can't damage you, so there's always a chance of Eradication.

Edit- I forgot- if you want the best chance to beat the Megadragon without having anyone die, you can get a ton of Kinetic Items from one of the merchants on Gem Lake in the skyroads.
