Final Fantasy Top 10 Hardest Bosses: Version 2

[@Darkkefka]

Interesting fact..... there are many videos of people beating Ozma on KZbin. Watch those videos and you'll see that in many of them..Ozma did not use meteor.... Do you know why???? BECAUSE THAT USUALLY MEANS GAME OVER!! THEY AREN'T GOING TO SHOW YOU THAT!! THE FIGHT AGAINST OZMA IS LUCK-BASED GODDAMNIT!! 80% of the battle is determined how often he spams meteor...and although you can decrease the odds of him using it, you CAN'T stop it. It doesn't matter how prepared you are for this boss...when he wants to kill you, he will kill you. No other boss can do this.

[@BC465]

In my LP of the game he spammed meteor at the beginning of the fight at least 3 TIMES... But how? It's all luck about meteor anyways

[@IosLocarth]

I argued with some idiot forever because he kept claiming that Ozna was easy because all you had to do was spam Ark with auto regen. He kept saying that you'd be fully healed and it wouldn't matter since arks animation is so long when I retorted" what if he insta-fucks you with meteor"

[@henriberger5420]

Have you tried fighting Ozma without being immune to his other spells/status effects? That way he will probably use meteor a lot less.

[@ncloserkyle]

Henri Berger If you don't prepare for his other attacks you gotta deal with Death, Level 5 Death, Level 4 Holy, Curse, Doomsday, Berserk, Mini, Blind, Confuse, Flare, and Holy. Which is way worse than the Meteor spell lol.

[@Camille_92]

Henri Berger This guy has knowledge way back that far, no one ever mentions ozma It's been shunned out of the hardest bossest of final fantasy history and placed in most "broken" bosses. It is completely luck based as he stated.

[@shayminspark8065]

i remember watching this literally a decade ago, u were formative for me, good content :)

[@cayv7694]

Obviously the Chocobo trainer in FFXHD is by far the hardest boss in any FF games. Even though I took far longer time and much more preparations for other FF bosses, I strongly feel the urge to smash the trainer face's and my own chocobo against the wall.

[@mewchimew]

You are my final fantasy inspiration and I can understand you just fine!

[@Darkkefka]

Let's have an understanding........... I will work on speaking more clearly from now own and I may have to get a new Mic. I know that it's hard to understand me sometimes, but the only times people post comments about the way I talk are in my POPULAR videos. You can hate on the video and dislike it all you want, I don't give a fuck. However,I will not tolerate people insulting me on my talking. I don't mind advice or a little constructive critizism, but posting insulting comments is something I'm not going to put up with. And I DEFINITY will not tolerate racial comments. Yes, I'm black...and if you have a problem with my skin color, you need to unsubscribe to me right now. Saying things like " Black people can't talk" only proves your stupidity and ignorance.

[@aKNeKr]

Well said DK, I can understand you just fine and English isn't even my native language. I don't care how anyone speaks as long as they create good content, and your vids are awesome.

[@sdewey4152]

[@BigDaddyZakk420]

I understand why FF XIII gets so much hate, but I still really enjoyed it. It may have been a pretty linear game but I think the battle system really kept the player engaged and made up for it (partially at least). IX and VII are my personal favorites but still, I don't think XIII was so bad.

[@uninterestedhour]

u sir have my vote, i loved all the old FFs as did everybody else but i too enjoy the new releases and dont understand the hate. i further explain my views in my one video upload, please give it a look see on my channel. titled final fantasy forever.

[@SlasherCatz]

I agree, everyone claims "FFXIII is a linear piece of garbage" I personally did not mind the linear feel to it due to it having a great story to it imho. It has its flaws such at the linearness and the characters could get a bit annoying at sometimes. Other than that it was a great game :D

[@uninterestedhour]

indeed it was, moving forward with FF

[@ArmageddonDutch]

For those who complain about 13's linear basis i advice them to play 13-2 and realise how valuable a storyline that makes any sense is! Yes i see why everyone hated some of the characters and the linear nature of ff13. and i really disliked the unannounced partyswaps. but it had a lot of good stuff! The story was really really good! Barthandelous (the recurring villain) was awesome in every way. the music overall was good (quite some medioce songs too though) really overall i'd say i would rate it 7.8 or so

[@florianlison8085]

Honestly, the game is good for his story, but bad for is linearity and gameplay. The universe is deep, but the linearity don't let us talk with NPC, or know anything about Pulse... And for the gameplay, I felt bad that it was basically FFX2 but less good. Same system of changing aptitudes, ATB, move on battle... But not many personalization and not many skills.

[@Costco1480]

Love your voice dude, no sarcasm at all. It's nice to hear a unique voice that sounds like it has heart behind it instead of the same old raspy voice with no enthusiasm. Made the video much more watchable

[@IosLocarth]

[@muthesquirrel]

I'm in the UK so Death doesn't work on Ochu in XIII. Thanks for THAT fix Square. You sadists.

[@Darkkefka]

Andy Semple it doesn't work for you? That sucks. Ochu is hard....

[@muthesquirrel]

Darkkefka On the plus side at least we got all features of FFX back when it was released for the PS2 instead of having to wait until the recent HD re-release. :D

[@Ensatzuken]

Andy Semple I'm in Italy and death still works... Only Longgui is immune to it. The problem is that the hit chance is absurdely low (I used the weapon that empower saboteur skills cause enhance the chance to apply the status)

[@TheAuron32]

+Andy Semple im in the UK and played both the PS3 and 360 versions, death DOES work, its just such a low proc chance dude, i think i read somewhere that the more status ailments on enemies increases deaths success rate, but dont know for sure.

[@cameraredeye3115]

A little late, but you can use the Quick Stagger method. Like this: 1) Kill the babies ASAP. Try to do it before the Screech-Pollen combo as it will screw you over if there's enough babies alive. 2) Once the babies are dead, do whatever is necessary to trigger the Instant Chain effect which fills up his stagger bar. Neochu has a Stagger Resist of 95 and a Stagger Point of 888%, so this is the best method. Saboteurs are the best thing to use here. 3) The moment you stagger him, blitz him until he dies. He only has 2,625,000 HP so it's an easy 1-stagger kill, BUT he spawns more babies at 50%, 25%, and 10% HP, so whatever you do, DO NOT LET UP UNTIL HE DIES! This is very important because if he stays alive long enough, he'll swarm the field with babies, and they will kill you. 4) Finish off the babies by any means necessary. Use an Eidolon if you prefer, as they do huge AoE damage in one shot.

[@shayoko6]

Fighting Ozma is like fighting a country by yourself XD

[@ktutran8256]

[@907liondancer2]

"I didn't even get a fucking turn!" Ozma be like that sometimes. 😂😂😂

[@ShrikeRisen]

I'll be honest, I cheesed the fight with Ozma. The guy was kicking my ass everytime I fought him. Hell, I won by just focusing on defense and having Quina spam Magic Hammer until the guy ran out of MP. Ozma only uses spells to fight. He can't use physical attacks. However, he was still freakin' hard even while I was cheating. I was praying to God that he wouldn't kill me while I drained his MP. It felt like I was hiding in a bunker while the guy was constantly dropping bombs on me while I kept hoping that the next attack would be the last. I can't tell you how much I rejoiced when the game said that Ozma couldn't use magic anymore. At that point, he just stood there and did nothing. :3

[@affliction1979]

This is how I killed the bastard as well. I can agree that Ozma was an annoying little fuck.

[@mingomon7215]

Its been like 10 years but thats the same thing i did. I can still remember. (Specially because it was so hard to get to that plateau at all) Be the bird... and pick in some dirt...

[@benbridges9486]

Really like your top tens mate, love the final fantasy series

[@Habanero1Two3]

What a badass boss that Arbiter of time , evil voice ftw :D

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

The only one of these bosses I've had personal experience with is Proto-Babil. You can survive just on Bless and Phoenix augments for the most part for phase 1, but when phase 2 starts, all hell breaks loose! Even with Slow, it can still get one attack off for every one of your turns, and if it starts spamming Divine Judgment, not even your Phoenix augments can save you! You pretty much need a full set of Adamant Armor, all the augments from all three playthroughs, and enough Silver Apples to bring everyone's HP to 9999 in order to even have a chance! Otherwise, any of its attacks can one-shot a party member, and a couple can even one-shot everybody at once! The random counterattacks don't help either, and if you have two triple-Focused Limit Break attacks queued up to finish him off once and for all, he can just counterattack the first one with Laser Barrage wiping out everybody and then immediately follow it up with Divine Judgment and finish the job. And you pretty much need at least one Limit Break augment so you can counteract its healing for 28,000 HP a pop! That...thing has become the bane of my existence!

[@dusttodust915]

kind of interesting that the final boss is rarely if ever the hardest boss in games.

[@OneDoomedAngelo]

+dialingdust because if they were THAT hard, only very few people would ever beat the games :P bosses who are important to the story (so also final bosses) are always hard, but beatable so you don't get stuck for no reason

[@dusttodust915]

They don't have to be as hard as darksouls bosses. I just think it's a bit funny that most final bosses are just as easy if not easier than the boss or bosses at the beginning of the game. Instead of the difficulty of the boss or bosses at the end.

[@Dadiris]

+dialingdust Well, it is in Shadow hearts from the new world imo

[@deathstar6998]

They tried making the final boss the hardest in FF3, 5 long af boss battles without saving good luck

[@LedYouAshtray]

*cough cough* Breath of Fire 2 *cough cough*

[@salmonbelmont7758]

See, this also shows that the final fantasy bosses have the right idea. Use their strongest attacks over and over until the puny humans fall over dead. Forever.

[@1aundulxaldin]

I beat Ozma... once~ But I hated fighting it. I can't make it any more simpler than that. My teeth, I ground in utter frustration from it wiping the floor with me.

[@amandarudisill5483]

I read a lot of guides to Ozma. Eiko is a must for the Pheonix summon chance upon total death. I have Zidane with so many items stolen it does 9999 every time. Quina for her frog drop (again, caught so many frogs that it does 9999) instead of his/her metra magic. I forgot who my fourth person was. It might have been Freya with her jump (It keeps her from damage when she is in the air) or Amarant (Monk has mad revive abilities XD). Or even Vivi with the Reflect x2 and reflect on himself. I cannot remember, but the Eiko, Quina, and Zidane were definitely there. Either way, along with reflect on Ozma to give me the Curaga instead of himself and a tent thrown at it so it misses often (Tents can cause blindness and poison in battle), it makes it easier to beat.

[@StrappingYoungLadam]

I'm happy to finally see a super boss list giving Ozma the respect it deserves. I've beaten FF9 about 5 times. Ozma once. Even after setting the perfect strategy for him it still took an ungodly amount of tries for him to do the exact attacks I wanted him to in order to win. On the plus side the round where I finally won was only about 5 minutes long.

[@ladynikkie]

Adam Daniels I'd beat that thing twice it was all a matter of dumb ass luck that's for sure lol. Phoenix pinion and Eiko are your best friends that's for sure

[@macattack5457]

[@khfan4life365]

"I didn't even get a fucking turn. Do I really need to show you anything else?" No. Ozma looks like a nightmare.

[@TheTrueBOSSofJupiter]

Idk. Omega on 8 is pretty easy too. It just takes a bit to pick thru all that health.

[@taroupriapus9760]

I played all Final Fantasy games from FF7-FF13. When it comes to sheer difficulty, the Valedictorian is Penance in FFX Intentional Version, and the Salutatorian is Omega Mark XII in FF12. Trema in FFX2 is in third place. Ozma is hard, but I can defeat him in less than 5 minutes using Frog Drop, DRagon Crest, Thievery. All party members must have auto-haste, auto-regen and absorption to Dark element. Not that hard at all. Nemesis in FFX is super tough, but it is more long than tough. Yiazmat in FF12 is like nemesis, more on long than tough. Zodiarc is not that tough if you absorb Dark and have Opal Rings. Trema is really hard (FFX2), he can annihilate your party at LV 99 even with Mascot Dressphere, without the Catnip, he is almost impossible to beat. Omega Mark XII can evaporate your party in just a few seconds. But it only has 1 milliion HP so one can beat it in no time with the correct strategy (mainly self-reverse trick). I defeated all bosses in the series, except for one, and that is Penance in FFX. Even with maxed out stats, celestial weapons and all the guides in Wiki/KZbin, I still cannot defeat it (except with Zanmato). You may be doing good in the last 10 minutes and may think you are winning, but one wrong move and the tide of battle could go very sour against you. You are at max stats this moment, Penance can annihilate you in the next 20 seconds. After a series of Game Over, I exclaimed "Sir, your the true Boss."

[@blancfan1]

@Dragonspheres I know I'm 11 months late but yes he is the easiest. Magic hammer turns him into a total bitch.

[@justpazzingby13]

A year late I know, but for Penance? Reels man.. Reels OP..

[@TheGaara802]

Ozma is still harder than the judges, there is a nice dedicated strat for them, and it becomes doable. Ozma on the other hand is 100 percent luck

[@jbac5767]

I still haven't topped the 100th trial. I cant seem to stat stack the right people or hit the Zeromus Strat just quite right.

[@lightningshy5287]

The thing about the judges, though, is that if you are forced into the start of the fight with low HP from the previous battles you are already in an inescapable hole. Trust me, the last 10 battles leading up to the final round in the trial mode are all nightmares in their own right. If your first move against the Judges is to recover your HP instead of anything else, you’re straight fucked because the moment you recover you will not have time to make your next move cause without the proper buffs you should have casted at the start, they will vaporize your active party in a flash even at full health. Ozma might be luck based but I first beat him on my third ever try, and I’ll beat him 50 times more before ever beating the Judge Magisters.

[@meowmeow256]

I forgot about Ozmos until I heard that music in the number one spot. Fuuuuuuuuuuck

[@meowmeow256]

Only way to beat him is to drain all his MP with quina's magic hammer. I think he has 999 if i remember right. that or 9999.

[@cameraredeye3115]

19:06 Best boss intro in modern FF games. Prove me wrong.

[@robosuit]

Been having a hard time with Zodiark in FFXII for the last two days. That Darkja is just...wow. A party-wide attack that has a chance to auto-death. Even with Faith and Shell up, it's very common for two people to die to one. If you have darkness-absorption gear on, it'll use Darkja twice as often. When it gets low on health, it becomes immune to physical attacks and puts reflect on itself. Basic attacks hit like a truck and can't be out-ranged. Constantly keeps Bravery and Faith on itself to increase its damage and increase Darkja's auto-death chance. Ended up having to start the fight with one person to be a sacrifice to Zodiark's initial Darkja (always its first action). Switch to another single character to dispel its initial protect, haste, shell, faith, and bravery. Then switch in to my main team of three which was pre-buffed with haste, bravery, protect, bubble, reverse, and berserk. Had to leave it up to chance and pray that I could kill it before its buff phase ended and it used another Darkja. This is with my team being at level 99 with Tournesol, Ultima Blade, Zodiac Spear, and Ribbons.

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

Another thing that makes Ruby Weapon a bit of a pushover is that he can actually be paralyzed. I discovered this when I tested Hades on him to see what he could be afflicted by. Once I figured that out, I just spammed those paralyzing needle items and Quadra Magic Knights of the Round. Anyways, here's my personal experiences with these bosses you listed: #10: Yeah, I remember my brother took days to kill Long Gui, and then when I told him to prove he actually beat it, he was like "Hell No!" He did it again a few days later to show me. #9: You know, I have NEVER seen what Penance actually looks like, so thanks ^^ may motivate me to continue training to unlock this thing. #8: I never played this one myself, but my brother really hated this fight. He never used Vanille unless he had to, so he never had Death to call upon. #7: I always thought that Omega in the original FF5 was actually completely invincibile, so it's nice to know he can be beaten in the Advance version. #6: Oh good god this pain in the ass. My major problem is that no matter how much I tried to smash him about, he'd always regenerate every single point of damage I did to him =/ #5: Never even heard of this guy, and now I hope I never face him. #4: Oh joy, yet another monster who continues to torture me with his continued existence. I had the original FF12, so what made this guy even worse is that he'd use Renew on himself whenever you ran off. It wouldn't fully heal him (I think it restored something like 1 bar), but due to how little I was able to do to him before needing to run, you can tell where this is going already. #3: Wow, didn't realise the Arbiter of Time was actually Valfodr, nice to see that. And yeah, I know I screwed up some of my monsters, so I need to be able to get to the level 1 form to regain their crystals so I can try again. Unfortunately, I can't even beat Snow, so yeah... #2: Very vague memories of this one (haven't really gotten that far in-game, but watched my brother). First #1: Like you said, most of us (me included) have never played the International version. Second #1: Yup, total agreement here. Seriously, what the hell were they thinking!? Yet ANOTHER boss who continues to taunt me with it's continued existence, and one hurdle I will never surmount =/

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

+Kalina Hitana I never fought #7 in its original form since I've never played FF5, but I have fought him in FF4: The After Years, and he is the only boss I've never been able to beat in that game. I can beat Ultima Weapon, Shinryu, and The Creator, but Omega still destroys me. I've fought #5 myself as well, and he's shaping up to be my personal #1 (since I never played FF9 and thus have not experienced Ozma for myself). So many times he counterattacks my Limit Break with Laser Barrage and then immediately follows it up with a spam of Divine Judgment! The second phase of the fight in general is just plain brutal!

[@cameraredeye3115]

Need help beating Snow? Have 3 of your paradigms contain a different Sentinel. My Sentinel setup (roughly) was: - Delta Attack (using Serah as SEN) - Combat Clinic (using my trusty Goblin Chieftain - trust me, he's the best SEN in the game) - Mystic Tower (using Noel as SEN) - Your favorite 3 paradigms When Snow does "200% Energy," he will target 1 of your 3 characters at random for attacks to build up his tension. Find out who it is, then IMMEDIATELY switch to a paradigm whose Sentinel differs from Snow's target. (EXAMPLE: If Snow targets Noel for tension-building attacks and you have the above setup, switch to either Delta Attack or Combat Clinic for a short time.) Stay there until that Sentinel provokes him; when this happens he goes "Time to chill." That means it's OK to attack him again. Rinse and repeat, while building up the stagger gauge and attacking, and you'll beat him eventually. He has 10 million HP, so don't expect a short fight.

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

cameraREDeye huh, thanks for the info. So his 200% energy thing charges up on a Sentinel in your party? If so, that may have been where I've been going wrong all this time

[@cameraredeye3115]

+Kalina Hitana Not quite; the "200% Energy" attack itself is an AoE that does mild damage, but then he targets 1 character and attacks him/her repeatedly to build up his tension. If his tension reaches the max of 500%, he wipes the party out with Sovereign Fist. To prevent that from happening, you have to take note of which character Snow is attacking, then switch paradigms so that a different character is the Sentinel and use him/her to force Snow to switch targets, which resets his tension (you'll see "Time to chill." when you do it correctly).

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

cameraREDeye Oh, I see. I haven't played this in ages ^^' Not sure if I'm going to return to it any time soon, but if I do, I'll pull up what you've told me again =)

Yeaaaaahh....Final Fantasy 8 was my least favorite. It was waaay too easy. You level up way to fast and easily, stacking Alexander, Shiva, and something else on Squal makes him OP as hell. On Zell I think I had Ifrit and Minotaur brothers and he literally could cast Ifrit every second minus the summon animation. By the time I got little over half way through the game I was taking hardly any damage in fights and was level 75. I got Squal's limit break to start dealing 9999 by mid game. Geez, Final Fantasy 9 was such a vast upgrade.

Very reasonable list . Personally I would put Yiazmat at #1 . I really really really hate the phrase " Not hard , just time consuming" . When did time become such a disposable unimportant thing ? Any boss batle that has the potential to take you 8 hours to finish is a nightmare in my book .

[@JessiV2]

+Fahad Alazraqi I felt the same way about the Tonberry King in FF8. You have to fight at least 20 Tonberrys to even get his attention (and they suck with instakill strikes anyway no matter how slow they are) but then it can take HOURS to kill him depending on his random hitpoints. AND he can team wipe you in one move.

[@4137Swords]

I totally agree. Yiazmat is bull crap. The fact that death strike takes up the action que so you can't cast spells before it hits you is bad already, but he kills you so quickly and has a chance for instant death with his regular attack, which chains like 12 times!

[@cameraredeye3115]

Just wait until the new version of FF12 comes out on PS4 (and maybe Steam; if that happens, I'm getting it for sure). Your attacks will actually be able to break the 9999 damage barrier then. Who knows? Yiazmat may not be so hard OR time-consuming anymore... ;)

[@4137Swords]

cameraREDeye But the death strike taking up the que and him killing so quickly is still gonna be an issue

[@Ben-fx9kx]

Time consuming can also refer to it being tedious. I mean if you've ever worked fast food making burgers isn't hard. But making 100 will take a while that doesn't mean you'll need incredible training or skill to do it.

[@RuruFIN]

Just realized that I haven't even tried Ozma on my FF IX (PC) playthrough... So let's go get fucked up.

[@Chimcharlover13]

I'm surprised #1 wasn't Trema, from Final Fantasy X-2. I mean, for me, Ozma wasn't that much of an issue. I get what you're saying, but personally I didn't struggle too much with him.

[@cluke_1158]

He made a list on bosses actually accessible. Trema is damn near impossible to get to.

[@spoopyopy]

+Cluke115 / NinjaGames technically The 5 Judges are impossible too unless you played Jp/International for Ff12 so if they're in it I think Trema is just as qualified to be in it.

[@cluke_1158]

I think there is a world of difference between Trema and the judges. Chac, Elder Drakes, Giant Tonberry's, and other things are way harder in my opinion, simply for the fact that they come more than once, and in the case of Tonberry's and Elder Drakes, nearly every level.

[@ThundagaT2]

Elder Drakes arent even that bad, Evade & Counter with Berserker Dressphere is your friend. They cant even hit you if you have that (unless they oversoul, in which case, all you have to worry about is their flame breath attack, which shouldnt do enough to kill you). Evade & Counter works wonders with Chac as well. Oversoul Chac, and you dont have to worry about Heavens Cataract, after that all you have to worry about are the glare attacks.

[@cluke_1158]

It's still harder to beat them than it should be. Considering everyone used Cap Nip gunner mode after they found out it was one of the only ways to pass the Bevelle Underground.

[@WizoIstGott]

The feeling discovering a Super Boss in FF without knowing it exists is the best feeling ever. I didnt have Internet until I allready played through FF4 - FF10, it was real good fun to spend Evenings with your friends to just figure out how on earth to beat that thing.

[@josephstone3313]

I'm on my 20th play through of Final Fantasy 9 and the reason Ozma to some is so hard because theres no timer on him so he can just take turn after turn. I've never really had a hard time with him because of my equipment set up, ability set up, and my party set up consisting of Zidane, Freya, Steiner and Amarant and just have them use their strongest abilities such as Dragons Crest, Shock, Thievery as well as no mercy or throwing wing edges and just go all out on him. I do use other party members but the one I listed is my favorite. Luck also came into play because the last time I beat him, he never got a chance to do any of his ridiculous attacks.

[@emilykwolek1667]

"those of you who suck at blitz ball" so... everybody?

[@Darkkefka]

Do people really have THIS much trouble with BB??

[@emilykwolek1667]

from what i hear, yes

[@NoBrakes219]

Blitzball isnt that bad, i got good my first time playing it, i beat luca 2-0 and after that i didnt play till the airship, signed brother and found wedge, then i just needed a good goalie and I haven't lost since. Keep in mind I've been playing the game for years

[@whytesakura1]

Blitzball was so easy. I got so overpowered that I would just do a sphere shot from across the screen and literally score all the time lol. The first games are rough but after you get the right characters, vilucha, shaami, and a good goalie, you're set.

[@Zelkiiro]

Step 1: Get Tidus close to the goal. Step 2: Use Jecht Shot. Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit!

[@rezopolisdreams4446]

I vaguely remember beating Ozma but I have no recollection how! XD After watching this however, I now know I got damn lucky! Great video!

[@ladynikkie]

absinthedreamin yeah I remember I got my ass handed to that piece of crap boss a lot! but thankfully having Eiko in the party with 99 Phoenix pinions and Zidane's trance saved me a couple of times

[@campbellsoup1981]

I actually beat Ozma on my second try, I just kept using Quina's Magic Hammer on it until it could no longer use Meteor. I was stunned when I beat it.

Yiazmat. *drops mic and walks away*

[@jbac5767]

I found it simply became a matter of having one person with berserk doing damage and the other two spamming healing stuff and items. When I beat him I wasn't using seitengrat or Zodiac spear.

Had no clue he was in the game until people in my gaming circle told me.

[@eduardofelix549]

My first time playing final fantasy XII and i'm loving every moment thank you for making me play dk I don't what rock I was living.

[@Incoming-Beef]

Totally digged the video. Keep em up man i look forward to seeing more.

[@ZackFawley]

Yeah...maybe all your boss choices are hard because you chose to play the worst games in the series. X-2 were trash and 13 was just an unholy abortion of a game. Here's hoping 15 takes the shit ass enix influence out of square games

[@Darkkefka]

no, I've played almost all of them, it just so happens that chac is hard to beat.

[@FirebirdPrince]

Lol no X-2 and 13 are good game. 15 will have the enix influence >.>

[@krimsonhawk2355]

Descuff I understand it's all a matter of preference..... but..... what? X-2 should've just been called "Squeenix Angels", and FFXIII, is bad for more reasons than I care to create a wall of text about

[@SteveRudzinski]

Descuff Nothing about 13 is a good game except the graphics.

[@TheGregtvshow]

Krimson Hawk I remember enjoying FFX2 back then and I'll probably be enjoying it another time in the HD remix. I tried 15-20 hrs or so in FFXIII but no matter how hard I tried it's too much like: Final Line 13... ah well. Story looked decent but gameplay wasn't worth it

[@Harutjun]

i beat ozma at first try Guess i was lucky got the dark matter :)

[@Memhistopholes]

I must say... final fantasy 13 could even ruin Gilgamesh... GUNS!? wtf

[@jarrodw6438]

Agreed. Dear old Gilg should only EVER use swords. It is just unnatural to give him firearms.

[@AllyOJustice]

Jarrod W Did you even play the game? After a few seconds Gilgamesh discards the guns, saying that it doesn't feel like real fighting and then draws his swords.

[@jarrodw6438]

AllyOJustice Yes, I did play the game. However, I never downloaded any pay-to-play DLC for it, and since the Colosseum is mostly DLC....

[@Memhistopholes]

And still, that Gilg uses guns at the beginning is already enough to ruin him.

[@evaangrion4416]

Gilgamesh uses every weapon... So why not stfu.

[@jourdansockey]

Excellent list Mr. Darkefka

[@MrAuthor3DS]

Uggghhh...The moment I heard that music, I just KNEW you were going to show that multicolored globe of agony and destruction. The times I did beat Ozma, though, were when two of my party members had on Pumice Pieces for absorbing Doomsday. And THIS is how I usually get the full Pumice, not from Hades's shop.

[@kiashie]

the pauses in speech made this video WAY longer than it needed to be, so next time you should try and speeding it up so you don't spend half an hour on something that could be shown in a third of the time.

[@jarrodw6438]

Sorry, but as far as ozma goes, you simply just suck at playing. You were hideously under-leveled by the looks of it, and you had failed to complete the friendly monster side-quests that are designed to help against it. Once you do, it moves close enough to be vulnerable to physical strikes, and loses its ability to absorb shadow damage. This means that its own special attack no longer heals it, but damages it. Frankly, I'd have almost put ultimecia from FF8 on the list somewhere. While in and of itself she is not that difficult to beat, she DOES have 5 separate stages that you must beat in order to fully defeat her, and she has the ability to destroy entire stacks of magic that you have junctioned. For me, she was always destroying my stacks of "Ultima" and "Full-Life" and "Meteor" spells on my characters. When those are junctioned to your magic, strength and HP, you tend to die very quickly. She is literally capable of sapping your strength away in an instant, and only luck prevents it. Still, almost any other boss would be more difficult than ozma so long as you are actually properly prepared for a fight of that caliber.

[@Darkkefka]

Jarrod W Where you not listening? I know about the friendly side quest. There's always a chance that Ozma will use meteor. The battle is luck. Do you truly think Ultimecia is harder than Ozma?

[@Blackplague777]

Darkkefka To beat Ozma, you just need to equip with Darkness stuff.

[@jarrodw6438]

Darkkefka Honestly DK, YES, Utimecia is MUCH harder than Ozma.Not only do you have to adapt your strategies to her changing forms, but she is able to entirely destroy stacks of magic, drastically lowering or even removing stats all at once. A character that was once doing 9999 damage per hit may now only do 1200-1500 if they are lucky. Or, their speed may drop, their magic may lower, and they may even lose their resistance to elements or status-effects. Worst of all, she may decide to target your magic that is junctioned to your HP, reducing the maximum health of that character to less than 3000. At that point, any character affected becomes dead weight, and serves only as cannon fodder. While she is by no means the hardest boss in any final fantasy game, she certainly is MUCH harder to defeat than ozma. Being a high enough level to actually fight against Ozma helps immensely, as does the friendly side quest. All that is left is boosting your magic defense a bit, and rolling with the punches as they come. It all just comes down to preparation; something that does not necessarily help with Ultimecia.

[@和谐-s8f]

Jarrod W Ultimecia is a fucking joke. Are you kidding me? FF8 was a joke in terms of difficulty anyways, even omega weapon was ez. But Ozma was entirely luck based, EVEN IF you survived meteor his ATB fills up immediately once you attack (AND HE GOES BEFORE YOU DO) and he'll more than likely counter with curse, and you're dead. It's 100% luck based.

[@Bardeus]

Jarrod W Rly? Ultimecia and almost ALL in FF8 is a joke. You can build your entire roster to make deadly characters that need less junctioning. Doing this Ultimecia is nothing but a sad... sad Joke. It's been like 14 years since i played FFIX and i recall Ozma being a hard boss and a most frustrating one. I haven't played any FF since IX, and now i'm getting back in FFXIV:ARR, and God.. I really HATE Titan Extreme xD Nice List DK, i'll have to play FFX, XII, XIII and the like just to prove my guts against them.

[@Fencmore]

Oh no, the boss is so unfair, it spams a powerful attack! For every boss: spam "insert op attack here" to win. Nice judgement there. You are no better than the bosses you are showing us.

[@shadowbladezorru2748]

[@steventricahyadisurya8035]

It's not working on Ozma, this guy not stupid at all Wanna try spam Shock, Thievery, Frog Drop and Dragon Crest? It's not going to work honestly

[@TheParagonify]

I actually consider Penance to be a lot more difficult than other bosses on this list. Most bosses don't require a certain strategy or setup to win. Yiazmat, while hard, can be beat in a very flexible way. Penance, on the other hand, requires a ton of leveling to get this far, then you need a very specific strategy, then you need high-end equipment, and THEN you can beat him. Beating him without taking down his arms for example is extremely difficult.

[@magussephiroth]

Your videos have made me realize that I have a really fucking cool game waiting on me to finally play it. I've had it for over a year now and havent gotten around to play it, time for me to finally play x13-2

[@matthewseah3952]

For Ozma, 1. Nullify holy and shadow, 2. Complete friendly monster sidequest. 3. Return magic on amarant and auto reflect on phycial attackers. 4. Blind. 5. Curse ozma to deal elemental damage. These preparation will make it lose turns using useless skills with higher probability... throw in a character who can be hit by lvl4 holy also helps. Don't think it's that hard.

[@julfahmi1846]

Lightning return ff xiii : Aeronite (Hard mode) Lightning return ff xiii : Bhunivelze + (Hard mode)

[@VicRattlehead713]

Ozma was definitely a challenge. Even with all my characters' levels maxed out and the best equipment in the game, it still took a good few tries to beat him. But one boss I would've liked to see make the list was Evrae from FFX. That thing made me rage-quit so many times.

[@DaleAdrasta24]

great video, thanks for your effort to make this, looking forward to see more

[@granduquexellos]

How to kill Ozma?: Eiko with: Support pasive +99 Phoenix wings : >49% chance relive the whole group (Doing this you can kill Ozma without Kind monsters event) Eiko, Steiner, Garnet and Yitan and GG. Eiko healing or sanctus, Steiner with shock, Garnet healing and bahamut, and Yitan trance. regards

[@guilaumecordoba-millan9421]

Xellos Florencio Lombardo Bodas And then he does Meteor that wipe you entirely and bad luck Phenix doesn't appear and if you had Auto-Life then Curse kill you before you get a turn and you completly fucked........ this Fight is so fucking random.

[@paladinapollo4967]

My technique for beating Chaq was using 2 dark knights and 1 berserker. I had the two dark knights use Choron, and survived using bederker's evade and counter ability, while spamming healing items when I took damage from Heaven's Cataract. For me, it made me completely immune to physical attacks. The only times I died is when I got unlucky, and he turned my beserker to stone before I could lose the other party members. Another way to do it is just to have a party of 3 berserkers the first time you fight it, and a party of 2 berserkers and 1 gunner on the floors it appears in later in the dungeon.

[@thebook3481]

Oh my God I was soooo proud when I defeated Ozma. First off it took FOREVER but when he finally fell, I never screamed so loud or jumped so high with complete and utter joy and after I swore never again will I face him but yeah best moment in my young life.

[@kevinbriggs8017]

Where is Lady Yunalesca from FFX. She is has 3 forms. Her first 2 forms zombie fie your party while her last and 3rd form can heal your zombies which actually kills them because they are already dead. This battle is impossible without spending hours upon hours beefing up your party before the fight. Or you NEED Wakka's attack reels. Without his overdrive she is tough. She is tougher than sin itself.

[@gabrielsargent8129]

ay man love your videos, they are informative and hilarious ! keep them coming.

[@kennethcarroll3486]

Just a suggestion.... Fighting Chac you should have the following.... 1) Mascot dresssphere 2) 99 sorts 3) 2 people with auto-haste items 4) use Pain to do the damage 5) equip Paine with INVINCIBLE 6) Yuna constant casting moogle curaga -- cures petrification and heals at least 4000+ hps 7) Riku throwing sorts on other 2 characters 8) use break hit point garmet grid 9) Paine ( in Mascot dresssphere ) uses ability that normally costs 99 Mana each time THIS setup will win the battle

[@danielramsey6141]

I only remember Beating Ozma One Time! And that was When We Used the The Two Player Party set up on Final Fantasy 9! But we Had to Really Prepare the SHIT out of our Party and we decided to Go for Broke on Ozma! Our Party Consisted of Zidane (manditory Regardless), Steiner, Quina, and Eiko! Two Offensive and Two Support/Defense! I would've used Garnet, but even though her summons were more powerful, she didn't have Access to the Phoenix Summon which has a Random Summoning effect after Death! And that was usually due to the amount Phoenix Pinions you had in your Inventory! Probably the Best Strategy that me and my Brother used on this Ozma was making sure to Stack 99 Phoenix Pinion for a 52% or 50/50 chance of revival upon death. If not that, than Auto-Life would help to make up for that shortfall. The Second tactic was having Quina use Magic Hammer to Empty all of Ozma's MP so the Son of a Bitch couldn't cast Anything! On a Good day, Quina's Hammer could easily destroy 100 - 1,000 (if Not More) MP every time it was used! And during our repeat failures, we noticed that Ozma wasn't random, Just Intent, if Not Desperate to end the Fight once his MP started getting drained! But yeah, all his best spells that could both heal and cause damage were tied to his MP pool while stuff like Flare Star, Curse, Some of the Level Spells and even Doomsday had a Separate charge pool for him to use! But Yeah, Once you empty his MP out, it'll be hard as hell for him to recover and cast anything to Hurt the party! Both Stein and Zidane had access to some hard Hitting Spells attacks of their own (I think we also Used Freya in our test runs, but my brother was more suited to using Steiner). That and both had access to Long Range, which allowed them to attack attack Ozma from a great distance. With All this, Ribbon(s), Dark Masks, and even Holy absorbing Equipment, we went to Town on this motherfucker, Stopping only just to recover MP when we could, Trancing out most of our Party during the battle while Peeling away at Ozma's MP till he couldn't Cast Shit and while he did KO us at least Twice, we came Back with Phoenix and Recovered and Kicked his GIANT GLOBE-LOOK'IN ASS! It was such an Awesome feeling when We Killed that Motherfucker for Good!

[@rodneydiamond5929]

[@v.frankenztein3814]

IN response to brett83501 with Magi Master from Final Fantasy 6, all you need is reflect. Chances are when he hits you with level 3 magic it'll bounce back and hit him regardless of the wall change. To survive Ultima when you kill him, just have a high leveled character go up the tower. That's how I survived the tower was using reflect all the way up and down and having my heal potions maxed out.

It's great, and 13-2 is a bit better. The only problem with 13 is that it's more linear than previous games, but the gameplay and characters kick ass. Luck-based, annoying minigames from previous games have been cut, so it may feel there's less optional stuff to do (actually, that's true). However, if you want to get all the trophies, you have enough work for weeks/months :D And the story is awesome, especially if you start playing 13-2 after finishing 13.

[@wolfodonnell7890]

I forgot to say that just because you have stoneproof on in games ffx and ffx-2, it doesn't mean that you are immune to petrification. If you were immune to it, the help text would say "provides immunity to petrification." In other words if you're immune to it, it would always work, even against someone like chac.

[@cjinl2428]

Long gui isn't really a boss, is it? Also, like you said, Penance is more of a drag than actually difficult. That is, of course if you're prepared. And you probably shouldn't fight it at all if you're not prepared.

[@cameraredeye3115]
