Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits - Final battle, Part 1

[Jodo89]

Does anyone else think Quest 64 when they see this game's gameplay?

[Breey97]

Hey... this game is for pc too right.? :S

[HikariKirameku]

@Breey97 Nope, PS2 only.

[xenosagaone]

not nearly as hard as lunar ... DAM last boss took me fuxking 4 long ass hours

[jowlzaahNZ]

Im currently lvl 36 darc lvl 34 kharg and the rest late 20's , i find this so impossible to do without any light elements to help, any place i can buy or find them in the castle? because i dont want to start all over again lol,

[HikariKirameku]

@jowlzaahNZ Unfortunately, I don't think you can get them anywhere in the Castle, unless you can steal them off of something (I've never tested this though). I've had to start over once for the same reason. This is also why I've learned you should always make a back-up save outside the final dungeon.

[jowlzaahNZ]

@HikariKirameku Yeah the reason why my characters were weak is because i always retreated from battles that i encountered randomly because i wanted to finish the game only time when i actually fought men was if it was unretreatable lol

[zaphod77]

Maru alone can solo this boss, believe it or not. If everyone is against the wall he can't hit with the beam, and will just keep spawning mini brains.. Maru can shoot him from the sidelines with his normal attack provided he has the extended range bowstring. With light element, he can one-shot the minibrains as well.

If you don't have light based attacks, well.... be prepared to grind a LOT.

[stefania12011998]

thenk you very mush.

[HikariKirameku]

@stefania12011998 Attack him when the black fog around him is completely gone (kill mini-brains to do this), you'll only do full damage then. Equip things that give you light-based attacks for better effect (also helps kill the mini-brains faster).

[TwilightSky95]

It was 10pm when I started this boss, took me a while to get the hang of it, stay on the corners, throw in the sacrifices, refresh, revive, heal.

About halfway into my fight, they would start talking to each other, hyping each other up, nagging on another, as if to encourage me to keep on trying.

I was still fighting this boss by the time it was 1am, and I remember only having one healing item left before just giving up and sleeping. Woke up the next day, beat it in less than an hour. D:

[LegendaryRespawns]

OMG THAT WAS SO FUCKING HARD..could never beat him..

[2012Katay]

this game is too epic

[Laurellay]

I used Darc, Bebedora, Choco, Kharg, Paulette and Diekbeck in either high 30's to mid 40's and did ok, and if you kill the Lakelta Boss Tsaw or use steal against him, you can get a new bowstring for Maru that widens his attack radius and makes it easier to take out multiple targets

[MegamanvolnutX]

i hated this thing it had around 11 hp left and even though kharg cammila and darcALL had that fire tension thing and where still next to that thing they didnt kill him and then criticle hit on everyone minus camilla who didnt die she did 10 damage and then he killed her FUCK HIM and i was lvl 34 at kharg he was the strongest i was REAALLLY under lvled

[supersonic070]

mare level 47 and you killed a brain cell whit one attack?!whats your strategy?!

[HikariKirameku]

@supersonic070 Any items that make attacks light-based help a lot, Maru has his Crystal Arrowhead, the others have Luminous Moss equipped.

[supersonic070]

@HikariKirameku and luminous moss is in...

[HikariKirameku]

@supersonic070 You can buy them from certain shops, I bought most of mine at the oasis place outside the Flying Castle.

[supersonic070]

@HikariKirameku ok ok thanks

[supersonic070]

shit!im too weak!i cant defeat this boss!

[supersonic070]

what level are your characters in this fight?

[windsweptspy]

I got to this boss without is any grinding a long time ago and it was all bad...He one shot my whole team no matter what FML

[HooshaLex]

T_T no matter how many times I try I can never win

[jason13660]

my character level 75 you know

[HikariKirameku]

@jason13660 I never had the patience to level grind that high. If I did, I'd try and hit lvl 99, since they all get an extra line they'll say in battle. According to a game script I've found though, they aren't that impressive.

[EatMyCookie1234]

Most of them are like 30,

So now were trying to get them up to maybe 40

[EatMyCookie1234]

He mead 8 brain cells

Going 2 bed

[HikariKirameku]

@EatMyCookie1234 If you were trying to follow my video on killing him, you need to be at a high level (My group was around lvl 50). There's a different strategy for killing him at lower levels.

[EatMyCookie1234]

So that's why were killing him TONIGHT!!!

It will be EPIC

Or we will lose and go 2 bed :(

[EatMyCookie1234]

I'm sick of looking at it!

[hiNmighty1]

I'm Bebedora

[Coopwoot]

THE OVERMIND!

[DeathEndrance]

has anyone played arc the lad: end of darkness? if so, could someone tell me if darc or kharg ever appear in the story, so you can see what happened with them after the events of this game?

[HikariKirameku]

@DeathEndrance You don't see Darc, or even hear anyone mention him by name, and he's apparently fallen off the planet. Paulette gets a letter from Kharg, and it has two pictures of him. That's it. The game sucks so hard, is so poorly written, and contradicts Twilight of the Spirits so much that I don't consider it canon.

[DeathEndrance]

@HikariKirameku thanks for telling me. it sounds like it really sucks. Especially if no one even considers it a real part of the story. are they planning anything new for arc the lad? i looked it up, and i can't find anything. It would suck if they cancelled all production of arc the lad stuff.

[HikariKirameku]

@DeathEndrance They pretty much killed any chance for any future games with EoD. It was that bad. Only good thing that came from it was meeting a few new friends through the online mode.

[luigi95mini]

hear gun parts you used for the attack and defense go up much?

[fantezie]

.Do I have to play the other games to understand the story?

[HikariKirameku]

@fantezie Nope. This game is a standalone, so you don't have to have played the first three. The game will make references from time to time, but anything relevant to the plot is explained.

[Vergoner]

why Dark and Kharg don't have to pay any spirit stones when they use their magic or spesial move

[HikariKirameku]

@Vergoner I have a special item called a Romantic Stone on each of them, which reduces the cost to 0.

[Syudu]

@HikariKirameku where did you get it?

[HikariKirameku]

@Syudu One you get from beating the highest difficulty at the Lamda arena on Kharg's side, the second you can only get on a New Game+ file, Darc's team will have it at the start.

[DelilahDandi]

Damn!! Sheeuutt!!! WHY WHY WHY !!!?? I COULD'VE BEATEN THIS GAME!! NOW I WANNA PLAY IT NOW... AWW MANN!!!!!

[NoeMendoza2012]

you pretty much get everything in tournaments

[LittleScheer]

Key to this battle is to line everyone up on the sides so he can't use his really strong attack. This attack brings up his cloud of darkness rendering your attacks useless. All you gotta do is get to the sides, kill the brain cells, and have Maru hammer away at him. For some reason Maru was really powerful for me towards the end of the game lol. I guess he did have that crystal arrowhead, make sure to equip him with that.

[NarutoOwnsU]

hardest boss in gaming

[HikariKirameku]

@NarutoOwnsU It's just time-consuming. He's actually really easy once you get the rhythm of the battle down, and that's only if the party isn't overleveled.

Now the bosses in Kingdom Hearts II: FM+, those ones suck...

[holdmyown06]

@NarutoOwnsU try final fantasy 12

[MugenHeadNinja]

i hated this boss annoying

[TheGuy0242]

can you also tell me how to get the romantic stone accsessories?

[TheGuy0242]

can you give me any tips on how to defeat him easier

[Darktommy3]

but... how Maru can destroy a little clone in one Shoot?

[doamaster08]

Did that Darkness blast do 1 damage to kargh lol.

[HikariKirameku]

He's wearing the Black Talisman, it reduces dark damage to basically nothing. He's a main party healer/buffer and attacker, so I had to make sure there was no way he was going down.

[PokeSchool]

i have no idea why bebedora isnt on your team, shes EPIC

[HikariKirameku]

@PokeSchool I've used her in the final battle before, just not in this one. I was so overleveled for this battle, it didn't matter who I used.

[tobimadara24]

ser can i ask something why all our skills are 0 cost spirit stones?

[HikariKirameku]

@tobimadara24 I have two Romantic Stone accessories that reduce the cost to zero. The others have Romantic Earrings, which cut the cost by half.

[KAMISANTA]

I CAN NOT BEAT THIS GAME!

[JcUchiha941]

man i suck at this battle. i've had this game for 3 years and HAVEN'T BEATEN IT CAN SOMEONE HELP!?

[XurikHikari]

Great Hunter always makes me chuckle some. First he shoots a bird then he shoots an air ship! Haha never make Maru mad.

This fight took me awhile really. All was good fun though! Die Giant Eye Ball of Doom!

[CarllelRs]

DA F***??????? i cant even finish this battle........... where do you get the talismin and charms???? Lucky

[HikariKirameku]

The talisman I think was a treasure or stolen from a boss. I can't remember ^^; The charms are buyable from various shops. I know the one in Aramis Springs sells them.

[michelrpg]

I forgot all the characters names since it's been SO awfully long. I just used the kid with the bow and had all my characters stand on the utmost-left of the screen. Nothing could damage my team this way. Cheap, but hell... so is an allpowerful-screencovering megabeam >.>;...

[boudiccastorm]

HARDEST BOSS BATTLE EVER!

I think it took me like 2 hrs from start to finish (including the boss before this and cutscenes) and at least 5 times to actually do it--it took me almost a week. The trick just seems to be to stay out of the middle, but damn, make sure you have as much healing power as possible. I also used Darc, Kharg, Maru, Delma, and Bebedora--not sure if it might be easier or harder with a different combination.

[HikariKirameku]

I still think Demon Droguza's harder, he was giving my lvl 40+ characters a run for their money (he only managed to kill Camellia though, cause she's got crap for HP).

But depending on your level and equips, who you take into the final battle can make thing either easy or harder. At the higher levels, it doesn't really matter. I was taking the eyebeam of doom without even hitting half health.

[zadixmadololombax]

uuuuuuuufffffffffffffff,wen he uses his dark cannon,

GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!

but to you only quit 1 and 70 of hp.

[HikariKirameku]

Dark Talisman and Dark Charms help a lot. They reduce the damage :P

[Campene2]

How'd u get your attack so high? and i thought demon drugoza was hard now i know what i've got to deal with

[HikariKirameku]

The characters are between lvl 40-50, so that would help the stats, plus they had some nice stuff equipped. I still think Demon Droguza was the hardest fight in this game...I loathe that battle. This one's more annoying than anything.

[renardo3333]

you know, even though demon droguza was tough, i didn't think he was all that hard, sure he did some damage but my characters with all abilities did more >:3

[beckasha83]

This is so annoying... because if you died you had to practically do EVERYTHING including watch the st upid cut scenes all over again. And yeah, the game was so EASY up until this guy... I didn't rest until I beat him... Such a pain! Good game tho!!!

[HikariKirameku]

Yeah, this is definitely one of the hardest bosses if you come unprepared. If you are ready for him, though, he can be pathetically easy :P

[EricB042389]

Yeah first time I fought this guy I was very unprepared...the fight took me 2 hours with that one recovery move he does but I eventually won. Very very close though! One of the best fights in the game!

[kawaiineyo]

The most annoying final boss of all time -__-

I couldn't balieve how easy this game was up till the final boss.

[LS994]

Thank you very, very much! By seeing this, I'll know how to prepare myself for this. I don't want to lose 'cause, as you said, there are a lot of cutscenes and 2 bosses before him, so it would be really annoying. Thanks again! ^^

[HikariKirameku]

You're welcome. I know the cutscenes and battles beforehand are a pain :P

... especially considering, to record all of the footage I got, I had to go through them at least 4 times. The ending took me two attempts, cause the first screwed up...so I actually did this boss fight twice all the way through. This is the better run though.
