Decadere Eldest
Part 1: Before You Start
Stats
If you really want the edge while fighting the Decadere, you should retrain your stats to meet Nythera's personal needs. I find that training WIS and INT work best. WIS goes a long way, but INT does not. I recommend a 4-part-INT to 1-part-WIS build for players up to level 49. For levels 50+, train 200 INT and put the rest on WIS. Here are some examples.
Level 20
INT: 75
WIS: 20
Level 40
INT: 155
WIS: 40
Level 60
INT: 200
WIS: 95
Potions
You should also train your HP (Reens) and MP (Alina) alchemy. The more you train them, the better.
Part 2: Know Yourself
Embrace Your Destiny and the other DragonMage quests all use a unique class, Elemental Nythera. It is important that you understand each of its skills before you can use them in battle.

Part 4: Use Your Knowledge
First off, if you're having trouble with the beginning monsters, use Stun then Roar. Against Decadere Babies, use Unleash before using Roar.
The strategy for defeating the Decadere Eldest is all conditional. Your opponent is very unpredictable, so you need to be flexible.

Part 5: Rewards
