Hardest Fights?

Re: Hardest Fights?

I'd have to say one of the hardest came from Xenogears. It was where you fight Ramsus first and then Miang. You had to make sure you killed Ramsus FAST, or his little abilty to drop your gears down to 1 was going to kill you fast. If not by Ramsus, then by Miang cause you'd be too weak to fight her.

And yes... Deus at the end was freakin nasty. Although not impossible.

((Spoilers))


Also try some of the Alundra boss battles. The lizardman one, the Ronan battle, The black dragon and Melzas. Sheesh.

Miang was difficult until you figured out the trick to beating her.

To me, the hardest in that game was the Elements fight in Fort Japser/Tower of Babel.

Re: Hardest Fights?

Well, the trouble with that setup is that you’re tapping into everyone’s weakest abilities, except for Ashe. Penelo’s magic is the best in the game, and Basch’s strength is really good. The trouble with bucking the trend in FFXII is that you’re not really changing people’s base stats.

No kidding? I kinda assumed, that with the Augment abilities and the open-ended nature of the License Grid, that the characters were blank slates, to be written on as one sees fit.... hmm... all of my reserve characters have a bank of AP not being used... I suppose I could go with the flow in regards to the characters that I'm NOT using. Thanks, kiddo!

Re: Hardest Fights?

You're welcome! Yeah, all you're doing with augments is, uh, augmenting the characters' natural stats. The License Grid is really misleading.

Re: Hardest Fights?

I actually had no problems with the enemies in Xenogears other than Ramus's monkey arms or what ever that mech was on my first run through.

But I made sure to level up every move and characters on my second run through and had no problems.

Balio & Sunder, for Breath of Fire III.
-- You don't HAVE to beat them, but it's possible. Not that much of a *****, but hard considering your point in the game.

Alpha Weltall from Xenogears. 2nd Disc.
-- Once again you don't HAVE to beat him. But it's possible. Much harder than the one mentioned above, and am currently STUCK there trying to kill the motha. 150000 HP, the hardest boss in the game EASILY. Way over powered. But if you equip a ton a Evasion Rings on ever character, give everyone a bunch of Magnetic Coats on their Gears, and have Billy with 2 Power Magics you'll be able to stand on your own. You also need to have Bart with his SonicG Whip, which will render his Ether attacks useless. But if he does hit you. Well, 9999 HP... Most I've damaged him was around 100000 then he finally got to me. Bah.

Re: Hardest Fights?

Oh yeah, Calamity was the other boss I had trouble with.

That boss was broken IMO. When I fought him the first time, he beat my ass. Then I equipped like, one item and owned him with almost full HP. Battles shouldn't be that badly designed. But in Xenogears, most of them were.

Makes me think a little of Shadow Hearts, with the way that you had to equip items to give your characters immunities to even stand a chance against certain bosses, then you could kick their butt with minimal effort.

Re: Hardest Fights?

But the item in particular had like, not even a +3 upgrade. I think it was an ether def item, only had one.

Re: Hardest Fights?

Try taking out Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts as well. I'm telling you, you gotta be ON with your button timings!

Re: Hardest Fights?

Why is it that I could take out Dragons like they were nothing in BG2: Throne of Bhaal like they were nothing, yet the Ravager is destroying me like it's nothing? Oh, right, because HE KEEPS SUMMONING THOSE GODDAMN BONE BLADES.

Gah. I kill 3 and he summons 3 more. Then my people die horrible deaths.

[altoecko]

Re: Hardest Fights?

I can't believe I didn't remember this, but the last boss from the game Silent Bomber. I can always kill his chess pieces but shortly after he starts to murder me. I've never once fully beaten the game. =( I gave up like 2 years ago, maybe I should find another copy of the game and try again.....

Re: Hardest Fights?

IMO, the hardest fight ever would be with Resident Evil's camera.

Dude, the Ravager is the physical manifestation of a God, of course it's tough.
