Can you beat Final Fantasy III using Onion Knight only?

In this video I attempt to beat Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster with only using Onion Knight. This is ridiculous idea I had for a while, so I decided to actually do it. This is the first video I ever made doing something like this, so this is very scuff quality.

[@blakecurry3880]

So basically it is all pain and struggle until you get onion gear (which is more pain and struggle!) and then it's easy street because the game is self coded that anyone that chooses pain and struggle receives eventual reward. Good to know!

[@BlueMageDaisen]

A bit of trivia: FF 1 through 3 don't have an actual damage cap There's a display cap, they can't show more than 9999 on the damage display, but you can do much more than that It's why fully powered Onion Knights killed Cloud of Darkness so quickly at the end of this video They were doing far more than 9999 damage

[@trifortay]

there's not a display cap in ff1 or ff2

[@trifortay]

also in PR... there is a damage cap for 3

[@glenneric1]

@@trifortay My years of playing the console version of FF1 taught me that there is a cap of 999.

[@joeytabora1052]

The petrify thing is actually universal across all the Pixel Remasters. It's particularly useful in Final Fantasy I, since in that game the 1st slot gets targeted 50% of the time, and the 2nd slot gets targeted 25% of the time, with the last 2 getting 12.5% each, so if someone gets petrified in the speedrun they'll sometimes switch that party member to the 1st slot to make battles safer, rather than healing it right away. And since petrified party members still get experience, it's a pretty convenient bug/exploit overall.

[@solitaryscargaming]

That is a good to know. I appreciate this info and I'll use it in the near future if I start doing challenge runs in Final Fantasy 1.

[@dansb1]

This is an excellent video. The effort you put into completing the attempt is clearly evident. Getting the onion equipment towards the end does allow you to cheese some of the later encounters, but getting to the point of being able to obtain that equipment in the first place is challenging enough. I would love to see more challenges like this one. Great job.

[@solitaryscargaming]

Thank you for the comment! Getting the onion equipment was the hardest part of the challenge. Took me +50 dragon encounters to get a few of the onion gear and each dragon encounter lasted about 40+ minutes to defeat. My other plan involved to get to 99 before collecting the onion gear but I'm glad i didn't need to do that. I'm currently running through another challenge right now that involves Monk only.

[@danielwilliams8346]

This would require an insane amount of patience & commitment

[@michealforguson5317]

In the DS Version of FF3, CoD has more attacks than just Particle Beam. Two of her Tentacles could be attacked. One only could be hurt by physical attacks. The other could only be hurt by Magic. Destroying those also took down how many actions she took in one turn from four to two. This version seems to be reminiscint of the Famicom version. She only had Flarewave in that one.

[@Xenobears]

FF3 Onion Knight is the epitome of “be careful who you call ugly in middle school.” At max level, the class is untouchable.

[@MrValiant101]

Video was honestly great and comprehensive. You did me a solid because I'm never going to go through the agony that is this run.

[@ElsyeaR]

Hi, I liked the video, good challenge run, quite the dedication. Imo, all the fights could have been shortened for the sake of rythm, but keeping the first yellow dragon fight and the first cloud of darkness fight in their entirety is a good thing. It shows these two were a real long struggle. Another thing that could be nice is showing the whole game process, like "I went there, saw this guy, got the ship". Even if it's just for a bit, it helps us follow the progression, keep us engaged and could also double as "This is now the fourth town and I STILL CAN'T use their armor", to put more emphasis on the stuff on other restrictions of the challenge. Keep it up, you're doing great !

Gurada is literally one of the hardest bosses in the game for me. The amount of times I died was infuriating. I'm glad they made the onion knight job a little better in the remake for the DS as the ultimate job. Sadly Onion still had low stats at low levels. It does get better at the higher levels. Glad they replaced it with Freelancer and let Freelancer at least use some magic.

I love Onion Knights, and I love seeing them at beast mode at level 99. I'm impressed you beat the whole thing without hitting 99 though! That was impressive. Good work on this challenge, it was interesting to see you problem solve (although the solution is usually grinding). My favorite FFs are VI, IV, IX, VII, and XIV. But III is a pretty good one too.

[@solitaryscargaming]

Thank you for your comment! Going into this I believed I needed to be lv 90+ to beat the game but beating below that was pretty great. Had to make the grind to lv 99 to humiliate Cloud of Darkness at the end.

[@GunslingerBahamut]

This guy is amazing! He actually used Elixers and defied all expectations! o-o But seriously, yes, it is all too easy to write off items as 'will be useful later' and accidentally forget them. So seriously, well done, and nice work on the video. And I respect your patience in grinding out all that time, it takes a lot of patience to do that. Edit-I give extra props for beating this challenge before the growth spurt at 89+

[@solitaryscargaming]

I'm fully convinced challenges like this are why Onion Knights are the way they are. Only a complete masochist would take Onion Knights through the entire game where they have zero power to the max level where those chosen few would realize that is the most brutal Gyarados Power moment in gaming history.

[@solitaryscargaming]

Yep, you are right. I'm that complete masochist who decided to take 4 Onion Knights through the entire game and see them grow into the biggest menace the game has seen.

Onion Knights went from small Hits to massive Powerhouses, Final Fantasy games are notorious for keeping the best Weapons near the end

[@Shorty_Lickens]

A few people have done min/max runs where they try to get 9999hp by keeping the monk job for much of the game, and they noticed you have to really plan carefully because of stats are gained at level up. So they maximize the job level first by defending and running a lot. When they hit Monk 99 they start leveling their characters. And yes all those people noticed the onion knight has garbage stats the whole game.

[@joshuadavidson1845]

You did a good job with the video ty for posting it

[@NovemberJoy]

Good job on the run: I can only imagine how long this actually took. I honestly thought you'd end up needing to grind up to the point where Onion Knight stat gains start to skyrocket to progress, but I guess I underestimated the power of attack items and Onion Knights in general. As for general advice, I feel like this could have been shortened. If you're worried about legitimacy, I wouldn't be too worried about it - viewers will generally assume it wasn't a problem or that it was more of the same if you cut it. It's not like you can easily cheat in a run like this anyway, seeing as how you can't swap jobs during fights. Speaking faster is a good idea as well, as long as you don't lose too much clarity. Also, if you're going to promote things, it's best to put them in both the description of your video and somewhere in your channel description for ease of access. Audio quality was pretty good for a 3-subscriber channel, just seems like it could use a little extra editing to cut out the inhales and pauses. Anyway, with that out of the way, Red carried the run, especially for the Titan fight. ...seriously, he probably injured his back carrying the rest of the party into that fight!

[@solitaryscargaming]

Thank you for your input and feedback! I truly appreciate it. I honestly believed that I was going to need to grind to 99 before Doga and Unei on order to win. Red put in a lot of work for Titan and Farming for Onion set against Yellow Dragon.

FF3 has always been my favorite of the main series. When FFXIV relaunched in 2013, I was thrilled when LOTA, Syrcus Tower, and World of Darkness were added as the alliance raid. Many years later, and we have Eureka Orthos under Syrcus Tower now too! :D

Although I think it is this good because it's edited. Editing videos like this is the standard. That's just the way it is. I 1000% agree with the feedback you got from the other guy: Edit your videos and edit the unnecessarily long parts more. In this case Yellow Dragon. As the guy said, you can't change jobs mid-fight. It's fine. Even if you could, honestly, no one cares. This isn't a speedrun you try to prove is legit. I mean, you even honestly show us when you needed to change to White Mage for Mini. It's fine, dude. Also, maybe talk a tiny bit faster. Also also, my favourite Final Fantasy is 9.

You really do have immense patience. That trick with petrified party members was great. Not knowing that, I probably would have killed a couple of the Onion Knights to concentrate the Experience Points onto the two remaining ones. AoEs would have been less of a problem with two strong characters than four weak ones. Would have made most fights harder, but the AoE fights easier. I might have never found out about that petrification trick.

[@lordmarshmal_0643]

Man hearing the final boss theme got me in the mood to play Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call again after having not played it for years and I did really well for my first go at the Ultimate/hard version of the song while being so rusty Either way, my favorite FF games would have to be the Dawn of Souls remakes of 1 and 2, alongside 5, Mystic Quest and Revenant Wings a bit too - I've only ever finished 1 and 2 sadly but I still have nostalgia for 5 as the one I grew up with the longest Also seeing the petrification just completely negate all incoming damage intrigues me as I'm used to how the Etrian Odyssey series does it - It still stops the afflicted from doing anything and counts as being dead for the purposes of counting a loss, but they still take damage, just with substantially increased defense and resistances, so they _can_ die

I haven't played this game in a long time and thought there was something about the onion knight. Came across this video in a search and now I'm reminded. There was a small miss on the opening statements. The first final fantasy had a job system. You chose your jobs and you were locked into those jobs the whole game. This was the first to allow you to change jobs during the game since ff2 didn't have a job system.

[@Eric-yt7fp]

Man, it took so long for me to just spawn the three dragons for the bestiary I nearly stopped. I can't imagine trying to grind for four full onion sets.

[@solitaryscargaming]

The grind to spawn the dragon was not pleasant. The fight itself was no better. Once a few onion gear started dropping the grind got better

[@marksconplaystasy7328]

That is what I thought!! I figured that the onion knight probably had an end level “growth spurt”. I had a hunch since the onion knight was the ultimate class in previous versions.

The KZbin algorithm blessed me with your Video today and I am really glad about it! I think Final Fantasy 3 is one of the more underrated entries in the series so it was nice seeing a challenge run done for it. As for your concern that people don't believe that your run is legit, I think that these challenge run always work on a 'trust basis'. My opinion is that you wouldn't get anything from lying to us so cutting out more mundane parts of the video would definitely help with the flow since it keeps the videos shorter and evens out the commentary since you don't have to voice over boring parts. I saw that this video is already four months old but I would love to see similar runs in other games.

My number 1 favorite is Final Fantasy 12. The story, characters, music, battles, and the jobs and how each weapon is used and powered up through your stats is great and makes you think if you don't know what you're doing. 10 is next followed by 13 (I don't know why people dislike it so much), and 3. I like 7, but I don't get the hype because its not any different than any other Final Fantasy. It's still amazing, but it is not in my top 5. 1. FF12 2. FF10 3: FF13 4. FF3 5. FF14

Goodbye octopus. Goodbye Antlion. Goodbye Mombomb. Goodbye Golbez. been wanting to figure the lowest levels to beat FF1 with 4 of the same class (w & w/o class change) and how far any can get with solo challenges. wondering if there are some dead ends because of armor/magic limitations.

If you try to win any final fantasy but you can only attack with only one character, that means that only he can use black magic, the rest can only use white magic to help the only one who can attack, to make it more interesting you can only heal during a combat only the character who can attack, and apply beneficial effects only to him, They will be able to apply negative effects to enemies

[@ReineckeF0x]

Dear readers and SolitaryScar! I am since 30 hours ingame following this guide to play 4 x Onion Knight till the End - here are my 50cents i also learned so far: try to get the 2 Protection Rings from the Underwater Tempel as soon as you can - make sure to have grinded till Level 40 for all your Onion Knights (i recommend you to try to level their Jobs as fast as possible because it may help - other jobs get bonus dps, more effecient skills and so on, don't know if it works for OKs too but why not) and very very important get those EXIT items ?beavershroom? idk at least 10 and of course 99 potions and 99 hi-potions and get at least 40 phoenix revive items just in case before entering any dungeon... get all items from chests and flee if you need ... i lootet with that submarine the triangle submarine dungeon almost empty running away all encounts with level 40 - you can sell of course ALL ITEMS you can't wear for sweet money you will need for potions, phoenix etc. plus i have till i have crystal armor from that MAZE 99 antidots, 99 mallets, 99 maidens kiss and most important golden needles ... for farming: you can farm that underwater cave at Level 51 and avoid that trapped chests you don't want to fight (that splitting monsters, the others you can fight at Level 51 with 1 OK in full crystal armor - he takes 99% of all hits only 1 !!! Damage 🙂 with crystal shield a fortress unpenetratable! the other 3 OKs i gave the Bows and Iron Arrows - for undead dragons and like switch to holy arrows and keep them in the back row - give them the protection rings to help them defend fire/lightning/ice attacks... so you can auto-battle this area at 51 till 60 it's a breeze! To get to 50 use the catacombs our @SolitaryScar showed you - i started there at Level 40 and tried to kill Kyklops and that Kraken Monster primarily ... i got to Level 40 at a higher risk place: that very North Village REPLITO there you can hunt Needle Monkey, Sorcerers, and that flying Bull Monsters - they are very hard to kill especially that Needle Monkey i advice the 3er packs only they can poison you that flying bulls my petrify on hit but that can be a savior as you already know from that video 😉 i tried to keep all 4 heroes at same XP level as much as i can but thats only my playstyle so they level up all at once but its optional. If you are not afraid of grinding leveling up to 77 the break-even-point from then on the OKs get very strong but thats optional too... but any HP-Point helps the improving the "tankiness" to spam that damage inducing items... look for the fira, icera, etc items and save them for bosses like Doga and Una etc. check out the weaknesses of your enemys and exploit them to get the maximum chance of Damage in your turns thus keeping everyone alive... it's propably the most annoying and frustrating playstyle but remember: in the END your OKs are the most overpowered job class with that OK equipment! Especially them OK blades 😋

I think this came out quite well especially for a first outing! I think only most notable editing complaint was some slightly too long hanging silence and occasionally mouse clicking in the background. Mostly towards the beginning but very few issues! Especially nice niece topic too comparatively speaking! Good stuff all around! Good job!

Omg that final cloud stomp must have been so cathartic!

[@solitaryscargaming]

You have a great taste in games. I have never played Dark souls before but I'm always open in trying challenges outside the final Fantasy franchise. I highly appreciate the feedback! As time goes along I'll improve on the quality for sure. Defeating Cloud of Darkness at the end was a feel good moment.

Final Fantasy 13 - 2 is my faburit FF game tho the time mecanic at the end is just pain

[@nightcloud2014]

Considering trying out the challenge myself but at least do the level ups as monk and Viking, to get the most out of hp level ups.

[@bdhuffman42]

Could you do Geomancer only for your next challenge run? Maybe cheat in all the jobs at the beginning.

Aaa this guy.... he even like heavy onion on his pizza!!😊🍕👏🏼🎶👏🏼

[@Ringoshiiro]

Favorite is FF1, but mainly because it is the only one I've played. I didn't finish though. Got stuck at some graveyard where the ghosts kept paralyzing me and it was the version where you have to go back to town to replenish mp iirc.

[@HeadRedShot]

FF3 is my favorite one so far but the fights that require a certain job really weigh down the game and the job system overall

[@PrimevalDemon]

1:02 what is the Shadowbringers theme remix titled? It's so pretty! Also which console releases are there for 3? I've never played FF 2, 3, 5 , 9 so they've always interested me especially because dragoon introduced in 3 Sexy job lol

[@solitaryscargaming]

it's called Eternal wind and it's one of my favorite songs. 3 was released on the NES. If you want to play, you can buy the Pixel Remaster version or the 3D version on Steam.

[@edfmed1080]

My fav FF is X, with III and XII as close second and third.

[@bunnygirlerika9489]

I recently tried this on the pixal remaster and uhhhh i quickly gave up on it lol. Im patient, but apparently not enough to do Onion knight only.

[@thanda99]

What do you think it’s the best way to grind the onion knights up to level 92? Crystal Tower with the Dragons? Also, really a nice work with the run. I started today and I can’t imagine the pain to get all the onion equipment yet!

[@kittywhodoesasqueak8463]

I can only speak for the DS version but I think the highest exp mobs are in bahamut's cave? Not too hard to beat thankfully once you're high level enough.

[@solitaryscargaming]

I went with dragons and anything else that I encounter in the Crystal Tower since I was looking for Onion gears/Elixir. Labyrinth of the Ancient was my go-to when I wanted to have an easier time grinding since I can interact with the crystal to heal.

[@RefiaKazus]

I thought the onion knight was the best class in the game post 90 but i could be thinking of another final fantasy
