The Dryad is one of a trio of superbosses in Etrian Odyssey V.
Dryad (Etrian Odyssey V)[]
She is found in the secret area of the Tutelary Forest, in an otherwise unremarkable room on 4F, and only appears after the player has accepted the quest "Request Friends Forever". For this battle, the party is joined by Jenetta, who tries to befriend the Dryad before realizing that she is surrounded by the corpses of soldiers and adventurers.
Defeating the Dryad will raise the level cap.
