I both loved and hated this boss. I always found it difficult, mainly from the Confusion and such, and until my 3rd(?) playthrough, I didn't know about Kyrie. But on my 3rd play, I knew about it, and decided to have some fun with this guy >:D I used Kyrie on him to own him.
I fought him the hard way not once, but twice, so I naturally wanted to try the easy way and just pwn him.
Some ppl are dump! only cause you not use a spell which ends the battle easier dose´nt mean you know of it or how to attain it. me&myself and i also prefer some challenge in games^^
i know this was 5 years ago, but did you run this on iso? and if so where did you get it because have it but when i got to this part it crashes every time, :[ anybody know why? when i downloaded it there was a part 1 and part 2 for breath of fire 3 and part 2 wont even play...
Something interesting by the way: In the german version of BoF3 the dragon zombie's name has been shorted to "Dr.Zombi" instead of "D.Zombie". That's why me and my friends always used to call him "Doctor Zombie" ;)
I actually used a healing move on this guy and he actually HEALED! So i was then stuck fighting him normally. Took about 15 minutes, I didnt't mind though because the battle theme is absolutely AMAZING!
Isn't the entrance of this boss super cool? Disembodied voice echos, pool of blood forms on the ground and grows in size and BAM! Dragon zombie apperas. This is such a great game. A shame the series is dead atm. Screw Final Fantasy and Star Ocean and crud like that, give us another old school BoF!
Am I the only RPG player who heals status effects during battle? Everytime I see someone play this or any RPG for that matter they never cure there party members if they're poisoned or something.
It's Myria, it's always Myria talking when the darkness comes...she's a goddess, she's the only one who would be able to do such a thing along with Deis. The girl though is left a mystery, that's not Myria but resembles a female dragon clan member from the past.
@operations1000 The one saying "No, you must not hate" is not Myria tho. It is that Dragon clan woman we see. Going by the other games she most likely is the ghost of Ryu's mother or sister even if she is not named specifically so, just like the voice commin from the big dragon bones in the very start of the game in this same mine.
@Eener1000 No that is Myria, it's always Myria talking in the darkness. That part seems extremely debatable but Dragon Zombie (or the collective spirit voices of dragons) say 'she has no right...' and calls the voice 'reviled one..why must you always interfere?' A former dragon clan member (or even Ryu's family member) cannot directly interfere as they're all dead spirits. Myria is alive. Besides no one in Ryu's family would be 'reviled'...err actually hmm his sister might. You do have a point.
running out of ideas tho, mind giving me a few tips on what would make the game harder, without hacking? ive already tried going through the game without using dragon genes, and without using the manillo shops, but any other ideas? xD sorry for the insanely long comment. but thanks for putting all these vids up of bof3, it remains as one of my fav games.
i play it on pc, and ps. but ive been a vg hacker for a long time, so it really wasnt that hard to find the stats of monsters in a playstation game XD ESPECIALLY on the computer. and i go into the codings, find out what changes when i die, when the monsters die, and narrow it down from there. even find out what spells to change from the bosses. XD i can make the chimera use evil eye, or dragon zombie use lightning, etc etc.
but it's simple, so i can just use something like cheatengine, to debug and shit to change stats. but the scripting for what the monsters use to attack (ex. the percentage that myria uses evil eye, or holocaust) or the percentage of what the monsters drop, or even the power and element of a weapon is a little more difficult to find. so i do that manually.
well, ive tried low level, and weak weapons. kinda did no masters (like accidentally using a weak char w/no skills vs elder and d.lord, but that's about it), but i havent done no armor yet. O_o that's gonna be interesting as hell. xD i might combine it with no masters, to make it insanely hard. but just for the challenge of kicking some ass. =O if i succeed, ill try all of that shit together, and try to win (even tho im sure ill die neway. XDD)
but as i stated with my other comment, i LOVE a challenge, so this was one of my favorite battles, and at the same time, one of my most hated. xD like yu, i did NOT use kyrie, cause at that point, it would take away any challenge at all. i even sometimes hack the game, giving the enemies higher power and such, maybe more life/def too, like i do with all my games when i get bored XD
this guy was definately not my longest fight (my longest was probably myria or dragon lord, since i love the challenge of myria's venom/holocaust, and teepo's overwhelming power, so i let the fight drag on, to see how long i can last) but this one here, was definately my most frustrating. fucking bone dance almost ALWAYS hit BOTH my characters with confusion, which at that point they'd end up killing eachother.
i just started playing this again and i just beat this fucker since i uber mega leveld my charrs every time i got :P i was in 73 with garr and 79 with ryu so he was pretty simple :P
I always thought the blue haired girl might have been Deis's Spirit (She sides with the Dragons anyway), but now I know that's actually the beautiful, angelic White Dragon Mother of the first or second Ryu. ^^
There's like a Ryu and Nina in every game, just like Link and Zelda, who may or may not even be the same one we all know and love. :)
Though Sonic and Mario are probably the same ones we know after all these years. :(
Rofl. This and Final Fantasy copied off with each other for that cheap Zombie-type thing. XD
So wait... Would healing this thing actually kill him super easily so you don't have to fight? 0_o
Really, this guy is fun to fight but pretty hard... Freaking Bone move that causes Confusion, a Poison attack, and you only have Two Near-Physical only characters to use, Ryu and Garr.
I love the weird talking thing too like they did for V: Dragon Quarter... Ryu in V was like Cloud in FFVII. 0_o
If you learn the skill "Kyrie" from Hondara before Ryu & Garr's fight in Angel Tower, you'll be able to kill the Dragon Zombie in 1 hit guaranteed. Alternatively you can just level up Garr enough to learn his ability Kyrie, works all the same.
I didn't read through comments to see if anyone else said this, but I've already written it now. XD
I agree I've only done it once on my new PSP version. I've completed the game about 20 times on the PS1...I wish I had that amount of time to spend on games again. XD I been playing since the age of 10(ish).
I think the only thing I haven't been able to do yet is find those secret items in the Desert. x_x I recently got exact directions where to get them though...I just haven't been bothered yet haha
I got my revenge on this guy in my re-run through the game. 2 hits instead of like 30+ . lvl 24 & 19 respectively. Focus, Last Resort, Beserk, Shadowwalk / Super Combo just shouldn't exist lol..way too cheap stacked...woulda been more damage if Nina was there with War Shout too :P
I don't like how Ryu has no parents in this one and he's like the lone dragon..they coulda done that better and had him meet his parents in Dragonier or something instead of a perverted old elder guy :P
Nah Ryu from BoF2 is long gone. This game is 1.5 ish thousand years after..the only one that's alive is Deis (Bleu) and of course Myria is revived from the first one.
It indeed was Myria that the Zombie Dragon was talking to. "Reviled one" means someone who spreads negative information about something which Myria did to the dragons (twice). He also states "Why do you always restrain us?" which Myria does.
Still no clue who the dragon lady is that gives you Fusion though..
This guy is so gonna get it on my replay...I'm not gonna Kyrie him cuz that's just gay but he's gonna pay. I'm gonna be so overleveled and use a fire property weapon and fire spear (I think Garr gets that before this point?) and everything! Him & Myria are definately going down easier this time..oh and that damn Angler fish too - won't bring Nina this time I guess.
Btw who the hell is talking to him when it gets dark?? Myria or a former dragon..or Teepo??
Bone Dance & Rotten Breath is excessively cheap too! It's only fair j/k j/k lol. Yah next time imma use your strategy of pyro + flame claw - thanks for the tip. W/o fire skills or kyrie this battle is just TOO painful.
This guy is so fucking hard! Or just fucking annoying..most annoying boss EVER with his damn bone dance. I got mad at Garr for killing this A-hole. Took me like 20 minutes to beat him! I didn't think of flame one, I used Eldrich and Restored him. Did more DPT but only able to sustain that for 3 turns so the rest of the battle was painful. Thanks for the tip for next run!!
i was never able to wait to get kyrie for garr before this fight. so i always just transformed into a healing dragon (can't remember the splicing) but it works pretty well.
I'd say 30ish based on the AP amount.. which is pretty high for here, another reason why this was easier fight for him...trust me this guy is fricken hard first time around average level no kyrie!!
I never played BoF III only BoF IV. And the story was very good it was unique... but as i heared that BoF III is the best part of BoF series, i want to play it so hard xD! I think that BoF IV got the best RPG story... better than FF series... if capcom would make a remake of this game with current graphics, it would be absolutely one of the best RPG games ^^
the only thing I have against this game is that I couldn't put Ryu out of the party. why? I have this pet peeve where it bugs me if all my characters aren't at an equal level. :(
if Garr was level 26 you can defet this boss with one hit they say, but it would take time to make him grow to that level and it won't be fan if you can kill this boss with one hit.i liked this fight, was lot of fan, but i was hoping the rest of Ryu friends would have join the fight.
i agree pyrokenesis and eldritch fire is good i didnt even know kyrie by that point plus whats the fun in killing it in one hit wheres the challenge in that
Don't really need kyrie to defeat this guy, just be cautious of his status attacks. Get to some dragon form, can't remember, that has restore and you'll see urself doing a massive 500 per turn on this nuisance fighter. :)
I love the Adult Boss music, has a much different effect than the kid boss music.
Yeah when I first fought this boss I was so unprepared, under leveled and I didn't heal up, but now when I play he's so easy since I know he's coming.
agreed, the music has more of an impact when Ryu has control over the situation.
Kyrie being an instant kill and Holy attacks doing massive damage (Healing spells, Holy Knife, etc.) I would equip status resistence things and innoculations to resist status illnesses. Being Poison is bad news and is a wasted move when your near completely resistant to it.
Ryu uses Rejuvenate on Dragon Zombie, it was super-effective!
I found this boss easy compared to most others. I beat him with a lvl 18 Ryu i think and lvl 14 Garr. Garr also died at the begginning but he couldnt do much anyway so i didnt revive him
Kyrie for a quick one hit kill... or go about your own methods. Garr naturally learns Kyrie at some point and then there's that Hondara priest who teaches the move.
I had trouble with this boss my first time but I made it. Shadow and Fusion, I like em'.
this game is 1 of my favourites after Final Fantasy 7. has any1 taken tha goo king sword. its quite impossible 2 get it. but i did. (without cheats) lolz.
I beat this battle about 3 hours ago. My lvls were higher and i had barbarossa for ryu, but i spent most of my AP training and making money before blowing the rock up. i used pyro with garr and thunder whelp with ryu. bone dance is annoying as hell. great game. hard to believe it's 10 years old.
do it : use cure in zombie, zombies be injuried with cure, the dragon eldrith,the cure dragon is a exellent atack dragon, use the cure in zombie many times and he go die fastly
Most of you posters need to understand HE DOESN'T PLAY TO MAKE THE GAME EXTREMELY EASY. Yeah theres cheap and easy ways to win each fight. Cyril is very good at this game, HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING, and doesn't need you people coaching him on how to play. Shut up and watch the video, and don't try to preach/teach him how to play. He's already an excellent player.
Use Shield a few times.. his attacks becomes very weak to you (so do teammate attacks). If you really are weak with character, just survive for as long as u can, after awhile, he runs outa AP for his bone dance... Than go open season on him ^^
I understand. Bosses should be challenging. It's that simple. On an unrelated note... that skeleton's supposed to be a dragon? It looks more like a mutant lizard that never visited the dentist.
i remember playing this for the first time. i had already been playing for like 3 hours and hadn't saved and then i got to this boss and i was so scared i was gonna die and have to do all of that all over again....i luv that game, i need to find a copy of it.
I always wonder why the fossil Brood member, the one who becomes the Fusion Gene, says that the Zombie Dragon wasn't really a dragon. Whatever the heck he was, then?
This goes back to the days when me and my sister played the same game. Actually, she'd play, I'd watch. It was actually pretty fun. I was the walkthrough reader. When it came to this fight, it litterally took 20 minutes to fininsh because of our low understanding of the game and the Zombie property. That damn bonedance! I'd always get nervous before doing this. Now it's nothing.
i remember it took me a looong time to beat him as a kid when I finally did it felt like such an accomplishment, I still do think he is pretty hard, probably because it was just garr and Ryu.
hey what gives? i just fought that guy, my ryu - lv 24 garr - lv 18 and i did only 150-168 damage with fire claw and 145-180 damage with pyrokinesis... :( but still! 5/5
The opening to Adult Ryu's story is Garr finding him in the mines and asking Ryu to come with him to meet Myria, his god to find out about the great war.
When i faught this guy the second time i had thought y did he have zombie in his name? So i used heal and it hurt him. It never hit me the first time i battled him
That fight was so hard yet AWSOME at the same time! That's why I made sure both Ryu and Garr were at level 20 or so. Just remember to train your characters a little more Cyril.
It has exactly 2,500 HP. I know this because I found a way to kill the Dragon Zombie before it even attacks. I have Garr train under the Urkan Priest then battle at Mt. Zublo until Garr is taught Kyrie. Transfer that to Ryu. And you're all set. For an even more likely chance of moving before D.Zombie. Unequip all of your armour. Kyrie will kill it instantly. Boss or not it's still a zombie.
Another way to find out an enemies HP is to use Backhand and add up all the total damage keeping track of everything as it happens.
Kyrie is a skill Garr learns at level 25 if I'm not mistaken, then there's also the master at urkan tapa whom will teach it as well.
For this boss, I think it's pretty cheap to use Kyrie as the attacks are somewhat diverse allowing for damage in different ways, bone dance, poison breath, and normal attack.
I read some years ago you can obtain from this battle the DRAGON TEAR but it never happened to me. Anyone obtained it?

i was never able to wait to get kyrie for garr before this fight. so i always just transformed into a healing dragon (can't remember the splicing) but it works pretty well.

oh! it is really easy i see...but i´m too baaaad -.- what level was ryu?
Ivachen1 2 years ago
I'd say 30ish based on the AP amount.. which is pretty high for here, another reason why this was easier fight for him...trust me this guy is fricken hard first time around average level no kyrie!!

I never played BoF III only BoF IV. And the story was very good it was unique... but as i heared that BoF III is the best part of BoF series, i want to play it so hard xD! I think that BoF IV got the best RPG story... better than FF series... if capcom would make a remake of this game with current graphics, it would be absolutely one of the best RPG games ^^

christopherkin6 3 years ago
if Garr was level 26 you can defet this boss with one hit they say, but it would take time to make him grow to that level and it won't be fan if you can kill this boss with one hit.i liked this fight, was lot of fan, but i was hoping the rest of Ryu friends would have join the fight.

i agree pyrokenesis and eldritch fire is good i didnt even know kyrie by that point plus whats the fun in killing it in one hit wheres the challenge in that

No.
Kyrie != Challenge.

Cyril86 3 years ago
Don't really need kyrie to defeat this guy, just be cautious of his status attacks. Get to some dragon form, can't remember, that has restore and you'll see urself doing a massive 500 per turn on this nuisance fighter. :)

I love the Adult Boss music, has a much different effect than the kid boss music.
Yeah when I first fought this boss I was so unprepared, under leveled and I didn't heal up, but now when I play he's so easy since I know he's coming.
HKDon 3 years ago
agreed, the music has more of an impact when Ryu has control over the situation.
Kyrie being an instant kill and Holy attacks doing massive damage (Healing spells, Holy Knife, etc.) I would equip status resistence things and innoculations to resist status illnesses. Being Poison is bad news and is a wasted move when your near completely resistant to it.
Ryu uses Rejuvenate on Dragon Zombie, it was super-effective!

Kyrie for a quick one hit kill... or go about your own methods. Garr naturally learns Kyrie at some point and then there's that Hondara priest who teaches the move.

Most of you posters need to understand HE DOESN'T PLAY TO MAKE THE GAME EXTREMELY EASY. Yeah theres cheap and easy ways to win each fight. Cyril is very good at this game, HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING, and doesn't need you people coaching him on how to play. Shut up and watch the video, and don't try to preach/teach him how to play. He's already an excellent player.

Use Shield a few times.. his attacks becomes very weak to you (so do teammate attacks). If you really are weak with character, just survive for as long as u can, after awhile, he runs outa AP for his bone dance... Than go open season on him ^^

I always wonder why the fossil Brood member, the one who becomes the Fusion Gene, says that the Zombie Dragon wasn't really a dragon. Whatever the heck he was, then?

This goes back to the days when me and my sister played the same game. Actually, she'd play, I'd watch. It was actually pretty fun. I was the walkthrough reader. When it came to this fight, it litterally took 20 minutes to fininsh because of our low understanding of the game and the Zombie property. That damn bonedance! I'd always get nervous before doing this. Now it's nothing.

i remember it took me a looong time to beat him as a kid when I finally did it felt like such an accomplishment, I still do think he is pretty hard, probably because it was just garr and Ryu.

How much hp does this thing have? :P
mhaid2000 5 years ago
It has exactly 2,500 HP. I know this because I found a way to kill the Dragon Zombie before it even attacks. I have Garr train under the Urkan Priest then battle at Mt. Zublo until Garr is taught Kyrie. Transfer that to Ryu. And you're all set. For an even more likely chance of moving before D.Zombie. Unequip all of your armour. Kyrie will kill it instantly. Boss or not it's still a zombie.
CultLord 5 years ago
Another way to find out an enemies HP is to use Backhand and add up all the total damage keeping track of everything as it happens.
Kyrie is a skill Garr learns at level 25 if I'm not mistaken, then there's also the master at urkan tapa whom will teach it as well.
For this boss, I think it's pretty cheap to use Kyrie as the attacks are somewhat diverse allowing for damage in different ways, bone dance, poison breath, and normal attack.
