Golden Sun: The Lost Age (no exp): Doom Dragon

The fifteenth - AND LAST - video of a Golden Sun: The Lost Age no experience playthrough. We fight the Final Boss, Doom Dragon.

This game is played normally with the exception that enemies do not give experience by way of a cheating device. Thus our characters are at the lowest level possible, which is as follows:

Felix - 5
Jenna - 5
Sheba - 5
Piers - 18
Isaac - 1
Garet - 1
Ivan - 4
Mia - 10

Equipment is the same as with Dullahan, except I switched the Guardian Ring off Sheba onto Jenna.

Doom Dragon. This dragon - I didn't expect it - but this dragon seems to me to be more difficult in this challenge than what Dullahan was. I'm sure of that actually, unless my strategy here could have been significantly improved.

Doom Dragon seems to follow a pattern to at least some degree, particularly when it decides to use Guard Aura. A good thing too is that, although Doom Dragon starts the battle with 4 moves per turn, that decreases with each head it loses. Notwithstanding that, though, the battle is drawn out when we are down to the last head. This because at that very point we don't have enough standby djinn to summon anything powerful enough. So the final turns build up to that.

Finally, though, this "no experience" playthrough of the Golden Sun games are complete! They are amazing games, and I haven't had a game more enjoyable with this challenge than Golden Sun.

Enjoy the video!

how can u only take about 7 dmg at the beginning? wtf^^

[tujudi737]

It's Flash. It's ridiculously good.

[KingOfTerrors55]

would you mind telling me the code? i have the VBA and would like to try this

[tujudi737]

For Golden Sun: The Lost Age, do this in VisualBoyAdvance:

Cheats -> Cheat List... -> Cheat...

In the boxes type this:

Address: 020305a0

Value: 00000000

For "Size" choose '32-bit'

For "Number Format" choose 'Unsigned'

And that should work. If not, let me know. I'll help you figure it out. And if you want a code for the first Golden Sun, let me know.

Absolutely awesome job finishing the no-exp run. I commend your persistence and well-thought our strategies as well.

[tujudi737]

Thank you

[SuperSlash132]

Impressive. This just goes to show you that levels on RPGs NEVER matter. Well done.

[Drayano60]

Seems like some Djinn like Ground/Petra/Lull were built just for things like this seeing as I never use them in normal challenges :x

Good job on completing this run.

[OrganicTastesBetter]

I feel better about fighting this boss with levels 32 and 31... and about 30 djinn.

[SuperMissile]

Boy the Lull Djinn is a real mood killer some times. XD

[RoleOfAQS]

Were you not paying attention? The Djinn he used before selecting them freed up the required djinn in that same turn.

this game's story wuz fuckin epic

[Shockwave109]

This boss battle was probably harder than Dullahan because summons do not do as much damage. Doom Dragon is treated as three separate bosses, all about 4000-5000 hp. Since summons depend on the max hp a monster has, the attack power is significantly reduced.

Not to mention the fact that Cruel Ruin could easily wipe out a party even with Flash on...

[Treifla]

i still haven't found a hand held RPG (and VERY few console RPG's) that compare to these two game, can't wait for it to come out on DS

[motolite00]

exactly what's on my head, summoning without the required djinn on standby... did more, than just the no exp code??

[SuperMissile]

So what happens really if you use a summon without the required number of Djinn? I'm to afraid to find out myself. o_oU

[merlincwalk]

ah now i was it =) well done . and you heard it ? i just red about golden sun ds coming out 2010 , i'm so excited^^
