Final Fantasy Tactics War of the lions Boss Battle 8# Cúchulainn

[@frostneedle]

Daaamn, the re-written dialogue in this game is top-notch Shakespearean. I had goosebumps reading them on my PSP many years ago. The writer did a tremendous job!

[@some_oldsoul1129]

''Nightmare and Sleep'' has become our daily trudge through this reality... This game was definitely ahead of its time, and a foreshadowing of things to come indeed.

3:40 Cu Chulainn does what I wanna do to EVERY freaking mage in this game!!

Great party composition, everyone has a role. Eventually the black mage fires off the nuke, very entertaining fight!

[@ziggy7200]

I wish there was a FFT anime showing this fight or at least a cinematic cutscene

[@HauntedFennie]

Im just fighting this boss and damn.... you made this fight look so easy in my case the boss just spams bioga all the time and kills my whole team too quickly....

[@chillgameplays4497]

You can reduce his mp with the knight or spread your units, also when he cast something he leaves himself vulnerable and last but not least when he sees someone (in this case my black mage) using a spell he will almost always target her, so if you wanna make him focus something you can use a spell

[@HauntedFennie]

@@chillgameplays4497 I didnt had a proper unit with spells, but fortunately Agrias Hallowed Bolt could take him down pretty quickly

[@MrVariant]

​@HauntedFennie 4 oracles/mystics with invigoration is the easiest way to win (life drain 25% like gravity or 1/2 graviga though they nuke bosses if they don't miss) with 5th a double speed rend ninja lol. Alternatively holy spams can help too. Agrias and mustadio are beginner's traps as you're not gonna do much damage with them, (and Agrias needs a runeblade from a chapter 3 stolen/recruited random knight battle to do damage before Orlandeau, and the magic buff makes her a cheese orator with mimic darlavon or invite for a higher success). Jump may be a good strategy as well though you can't predict lucavi speed (under 50 CT is usually good as it is double your speed to land). Lastly, you can brawler ninja with max bravery from Ramza's steel to do obscene damage (once it's over 90 it skyrockets and you'll get more successful reaction abilities). You can also equip stuff to stop debuffs sleep and doom, and use phoenix downs to keep reviving. Vid has bad setup outside black mage lol 2:45 with white mage and thief ramza when lucavi got nothing to steal (blood sword from gaffgarion lets you heal and dual wield equip swords is scary). But you can win too. 2:52 monk only 60 damage because only 69 bravery. It'd probably be at least 200 with 90-99 bravery as unarmed skyrockets (katanas increase too but easier to spam iaido or give them mystic's invigoration). 3:34 flare swiftness on black mage was the mvp as everyone else is under 100 damage. Must've went all in on that build, though sadly got countered (white mage is also faster and 5:10 throw stone would wake sleep but nice purificiation 5:25) and auto potion after. Regardless, it is interesting to see this as a challenge, as I beat Adrammelech with a crossbow and ultima and gave him a free attack.

[@the_exegete]

Good save at the end.

[@DEdens1525]

Flare!

[@gabrielarchange4680]

Fighting queklaine for the first time is such a plot twist. You don't expect to fight another round after defeating Gafgarion.

[@RamzaBeo]

EXACTLY!! this really caught me off guard! I’m not prepared to fight him cause I need those rings that prevent doom 💀💀

[@gabrielarchange4680]

@@RamzaBeo I vividly remember overriding my save game and not being able to go back

[@RamzaBeo]

@@gabrielarchange4680 yup… I’m thinking on just restarting lol getting 600 jp and just steal the blood sword 😂

[@gabrielarchange4680]

@@RamzaBeo Yeah the Blood Sword is potent all the way trough the following chapter, especially when using the "TWO HANDS" passive ability.

[@perrycarters3113]

You also had no reason to expect.... THIS..... at all. Up until this point, it had been a fairly bog-standard fantasy game with political machinations and plot twists. Then, Cardinal Delacroix holds a red stone up.... and suddenly, everything changes.

[@RagnaCloud13]

Fate fans can relate with this scene Fate fan 1: okay, Cu Chulainn died Fate fan 2: you aren't human!!!

[@DPDPDPDP]

you know shit is going wrong when boss has ??? stat

[@RangoTheMercenary]

Spooky!

[@jonathanbeshansky4932]

The soundtrack in the battle? It’s called Helldance (originally called “The Pervert”)!

[@taroupriapus9760]

Is this the same Cuchulain in ff12?😊

[@chillgameplays4497]

yes, its cúchulainn the impure

[@rednova2212]

12 and Tactics: War of the Lions both take place in the same universe. And in FF14, they've included Ivalice as well, so now all of the Zodiac braves are in 14 as well.

[@williamreely3455]

Assumedly. The Espers from FFXII were likely reinterpreted as demons far in Ivalices future, the auracite are probably their glyphs.

[@Mike-el9wk]

Vagrant story also takes place in Ivalice if I remember correctly

[@robertlocksley1710]

My team is in the low 30’s and I still get wrecked..

[@hootax8980]

If you know to before the Gafgarion fight, you can buy rings at the store that block both sleep and doom. It makes this boss SO much easier. I just fought him last night after years and forgot about the rings so I got wrecked several times. I could have went to an earlier save, but I had spent a whole bunch of time during the gate fight stealing all of Gaf's equipment and I didn't want to do it all again. 😫

[@MatthewNGolding]

1:10-1:15

[@luckyspray]

Brother you play like s.... on this game, why cast Flare and move only 1 tile away from the enemy ???

[@chillgameplays4497]

Maybe so you know he targets her so he loses his turn attacking only 1 unit instead of my whole team?

[@luckyspray]
