Dragon Quest 8 3DS New Boss: Juggerwroth

[@requiem6465]

Juggerworth: How big is your party?! Angelo: We've got two more in the backseat.

[@altimateguyz1016]

I answered 4 people and 2 in the backseat.

[@ComradeArthur]

Marcello: "I'm hearing a lot of talk but not seeing much action." Juggerwroth: "It's a turn based game!"

[@Dracomut]

I'm glad we got to see Marcello again, his arc felt like it ended incomplete in the original game.

[@xXShizukanaXx]

I thought that's what Mads it tragic

[@minespatch]

The 3ds version needs a steam remake with the classical music reinstated. This and the Dhoulmagus backstory cutscene would be worth it to be repatched into the ps2 version.

[@arturoz6547]

im playing the emulated version and god damn you are so right, we need a remake so badly

Am I the only one so happy to see Marcello is alive after Neos... the 14 year long question has been answered. :')

[@lightning13clair29]

You do realize he wasn't even dead right so I don't know why you are saying good to see him alive lol

[@QueenofTaterTots]

You...literally see him limp off, he didn't just die, he simply returned back to his abbey to lick his wounds

[@carbonliquidmetalstarman2095]

GamingForward isn’t Prince Charmles called Damon in battle?

[@joshsavage007]

He’s still alive. He was just very badly injured. Perhaps if you could toss him a Band-Aid? Or maybe some antibacterial cream? But to answer your question, I did have a smile on my face when I got to see Marcello again.

[@OoBluePiscesOo]

Ah, thanks for uploading both versions of the fight (With and without Angelo)!! I wonder if Marcello would heal you if all your team mates were very low on health. I can see him helping but at the same time I can see him completely ignoring the party. :')

[@OoBluePiscesOo]

That's awesome! Was it like a mid-heal? I'd be surprised if he did a full heal!

[@kitational]

when i did this fight marcello directly healed angelo and it warmed my heart

[@OoBluePiscesOo]

He does have a heart.

[@ashtray0belief]

Marcello was my no. 1 bae when ai was like.. 11? After so many years I discover of the 3DS version and the fact that he is still alive.. well. Let me tell you I searched for Marcello EVERYWHERE in the original game, he had just disappeared. This is almost, I don't know.. cathartic in a sense. Glad my preteen husbando is alive and well.

[@xgaming6609]

Well thats the fate of NPC's, after they are done with their story they vanish. I hoped to have Marcello as Playable Character.

[@TheRayny]

I playes DQ8 for the first time on the 3DS version and i thought this boss was part of the main storyline, after awakening Rapthorne xD It was a hard fight for me actually, probably because i did not expect it to be an optional boss ( i was around 40) and i found it a fun one :D the dialog here is amazing.

[@jp7621]

Marcello appearing out of nowhere with the Sanctuary theme playing might be one of my most favorite gaming moments of all time.

[@joshsavage007]

It’s nice to see him get a proper end to his character arc, especially with Angelo in the party. (He gets different dialogue if Angelo isn’t there.)

[@duncaneigg8819]

First fight: Nuke Juggerwroth with an absurd amount of tension boosting. Second fight: Tries to raise tension again Juggerwroth: Oh no you don’t! Disruptive Wave!

[@House2017]

So happy to see Marcello! He was one of my favorites.

[@flightofthebluejay]

Here is the lost distant cousin to Rhapthorne

The Charmless equivalent to the Hero's own cousin it seems. LOL

Captain Ginyu is that you?

[@YoungLeosword]

Ginyu became Nimzo from V, and got teleported to Madason’s world by the transdimensional bird demigoddess whose name I’ve forgotten, apologies, lol.

[@xRocketzFighterx]

Had a feeling this was a new boss for the 3ds port. I had trouble figuring out if i met this boss in the old ps2 version XD.

[@nevazaki4830]

This boss was not in the ps2 version.......................

[@xRocketzFighterx]

It still amazes me how they can cram so much new content into an already massive game. I know the title just told me that this boss is one of the new exclusives to the 3ds port but still im gonna say Thank you for the confirmation. I still had to say it out loud in the comment section.

[@Ghostface711]

It also has estark as well

[@spenserfarman3045]

@@Ghostface711 The only thing that’s really annoying about getting to Estark was the fact that you need to get past that annoying four armed zombie dude and the dancing flames who each had three turns to decimate your party before you even tried pulling together a plan.

Question to ALL, I have only been Able to construct ONLY one Timbrell of Tension, where do I find the Ingredients to get a Second one ?

[@JnLgame]

Skull helm locations: 1. Plateau left of the godbird's eyrie. 2. chest in the heavenly dais. 3. I think you get one for fully completing the Cameron's codex quest.

[@tlotpwist3417]

Mark Plott you get another helmet in the dragovian trials if i remember, at least in the og game

[@requiem6465]

@@tlotpwist3417 can confirm skull helm is in the heavenly dais.

[@Nanokoex]

Wait, how do you encounter this? I thought estark was the only new boss

[@spenserfarman3045]

He can be battled right after you defeat the game initially before the Dragovian Sanctuary is unlocked.

[@KKristof100]

Why is he called "Othello" during the fight?

[@kitational]

nobody knows :o just like how prince charmles was called "Damon" in the royal hunting ground battles.

[@lspg5397]

2 of the new arena monsters are called "Damon" and "Othello". Maybe there is a coding error that picks these names for charmles and marcello. But since these 2 monsters look similar, I think the programmers simply made an easter egg there.

[@ToroFox]

It's a tranlation Error.

i remenber playing this game on ps2 my fav game of alL time

[@JnLgame]

The 3ds version makes Red and Morrie playable characters. You can only have 4 characters active during a fight. I was using Red instead of Yangus.

[@drakorre3232]

ohh cool! thats interesting

[@carbonliquidmetalstarman2095]

Wasn’t Red a character in the ps2 version? Just not a playable one.

[@Nimzo25]

Who is Juggerwroth voiced by? It sounds like Mumkhar/Metal Face or somebody different who had experience in anime voice acting.

[@revaryk6868]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same guy. After all, the dubbing for this game came from Europe.

[@TheResistance576]

How do you fight him?

[@RyanMacdonald98]

First travel to neos after defeating Rapthorne. There should be a cutscene and you will be asked to go to the Dragon Graveyard to the crystal ball at the end. You then need to go to where you got the ship and there will be a passage in the side of a wall and you should be in a dungeon called the Altar Of Wroth...

[@TheResistance576]

Ryan Macdonald thanks you!!!

[@LSSJGod]

Ryan Macdonald I was able to do it before fighting Rhapthorne at the Black Citadel all I did was go to Neos to take another look around and the cutscene triggered the moment I walked in the door

[@antoinewilliams290]

please help just got dragon quest 8 it won't let my play it its stayed this title cannot be played without extra date so I got a blank 16mb sd and tryed it again and it says the same thing please help guys

[@mushroomhead3619]

Why is there voice acting?!

[@kitational]

the USA version is awesome like that :D

[@platuimknight8769]

Jilly Chan Too bad they couldn't keep the orchestral soundtrack, if they did it would've made an already amazing remake absolutely perfect! Ah well at least i can still dream about them making an hd remake of dragon quest 9 for the switch, if they did that i would die a happy man.

[@ToroFox]

The Japanese version also has Voice acting, Just not in the PS2 verson.

[@tlotpwist3417]

platuim knight it still sounds great on a headset, what is more sad is why they ported it to 3ds and not ps4

[@platuimknight8769]

Tlot Pwist Would've been better if they had waited to put on the switch in my opinion, that way they could've kept the voice acting, orchestral music and upgrade the already amazing graphics of the original game while still retaining the option of portability.

[@Buffer131]

Huh no Morise?

[@AceAttorney305]

what level do you recommend I be to fight him? I'm currently level 53

[@JnLgame]

Well my highest level character was 43, and I destroyed him. I think you're good to go. If you were asking what level for a reasonable challenge then I'd say like 36 or so.

[@austinkasmeier6707]

do I have to face this boss in the story or is it a optional boss?

[@kitational]

optional.

[@chuchan3989]

[@spenserfarman3045]

@@chuchan3989 Juggerwroth is in a buried temple in a cave that’ll get revealed to be in that desert canyon where you freed the ship. The moon shadow guy needs to tell you where it is before you can enter since it’ll still be walled off until you do. I don’t remember where you can find a doorway into the moon shadow world, but it might be that door in the library in Trodain.

[@bryntyjermy1854]

Will they remake dragon quest IX?

[@revaryk6868]

Bryn Jermy It's an interesting thought... It would be cool to see the game remade (even though it's not exactly old). Since the Nintendo DS online service thing shut down, it'd be nice to see a potential Dragon Quest IX remaster have online multiplayer.

[@platuimknight8769]

Revvy Frostina Imagine ix on the Nintendo switch with hd graphics now that would be incredible, and if they decided to go the extra mile and remastered the music to be orchestral it would make ix the absolute best dragon quest experience.

[@RAISEYOURDONGERS1]

Yea, as if an Android version was the best version for anything ever xD

[@matasakaroblox6693]

Dragon quest IX imo is one of the best, its VERY replayable, even with the nintendo ds online service being shut down, there is still so much content, and its an amazing storyline. Honestly it so deserves a re-make for the switch.

[@nichoudha]

I feel like it's too early. Maybe in the next generation.

[@corporatecanine6030]

Man, some fight. Dragon Quest does good on adding plenty of bosses to fight, especially post game or even in side quests, but they sure as heck don't make them that difficult. Only difficult optional boss I've ever come across myself was the fat witch in the back of the Starlight Express in DQ9. Or maybe I just dont have all of the overpowered gear yet. In which case, maybe add some bosses that are a decent challenge even with the overpowered gear late game or post game?

[@dianetorda5999]

Wow i want to play agaaaain

[@ILikeToastWithButter]

I liked this boss

[@Rusty_Katana]

It sucks to lose all your buffs because of some stupid disruptive wave, really lame

[@TheDabeavis]

Most bosses in the latter half of DQ8 do this, it'd be mostly too easy otherwise since you could just keep building up tension (especially once you get Timbrel of Tension as shown here) as well as applying Oomph (spell that temporarily doubles one's ATK) and Buff/KaBuff (increases DEF) to everyone for each boss fight.

[@Rusty_Katana]

TheDabeavis You know, that’s ok. But some bosses (especially that giant bird and late game bosses) really ABUSE this skill, spamming it every single turn. That’s absurd

[@penitente3339]

@@Rusty_Katana welcome to dq where every late/post game boss spams disruptive wave forcing you to actually play with strategy. Also Empyrea uses it every turn you buff. also yes im 2 years late any problem

[@Rusty_Katana]

@@penitente3339 in the meantime, i already came to terms with that. It’s even easier not to buff lol Empyria has only so many attacks so she uses the wave more often while bosses like Rhapthorne have a plethora of different attacks and only use the wave once every 2 or 3 turns, and you can buff a lot more often

[@ATK1734]

This was such a fun boss

[@starvoltnexus3139]

Where's Yangus?

[@kitational]

With Trode and Medea.

[@starvoltnexus3139]

Is he hurt? Why didn't he tag along for the fight? He's feircely loyal to the hero and I can't see him as being one to back out of a fight

[@kitational]

Muraia The Sagely ... it's part of the story line. you forcibly get red and morrie in your party, so in order to fit them in a battle, you have to swap them out with another character. this person in particular traded yangus for red. and that person you swapped, will be in the wagon with trode and medea. waiting. you can swap them out at any point in the battle. and game. but the swapped out party members still get the exp from the battle, even though they didn't fight. like I said, they're just with trode and medea.

Par 4 Of pirated hardware: Alterations

[@AporiaLester]

This is like the most boring fighting ever...psych up psych up psych up psych up...I haven't played this jrpg but can't you just attack? Is the game rly only about psyching up and THEN doing 1 big hit? One could prolly do many smaller hits in the time it takes to charge up 1 big one.

[@JnLgame]

The psych up strategy is mainly used to conserve mp in the early game but becomes more viable in the late game after you get the timbrel of tension. It makes for an easy way to power up your attacks very quickly. The main damage dealing attack that I used in the video, magic burst, pretty much needs the tension system to be viable at all. It uses all of the character's mp to do it, so you generally want to be as powered up as possible before using it, otherwise it's just a waste of mp.

[@penitente3339]

if you don't like the psych up strategy, you should not play the recent games in this series every post game boss is that strategy on basically every modern game.

[@ultimateglazer22]

because it takes way too long to kill a boss by simply just attacking, psyching up is ESSENTIAL.

[@purpleplasma4824]

Dude doesn't know why buffing is important in JRPGS 💀
