Legend of Dragoon - Optional Boss #6 - Magician Faust

Legend has it that there was once a wingly magician with powers so great that even Melbu Frahma feared him

[@alvinoctavianus7456]

Potentially be the next main antagonist for LOD2

My dad and I used to play this game, we have a guide(The ones that were books) and that's how we get to this boss only to be rekt for half an hour and him just saying fuck, it's a really good memory😂😂😂

[@eyesofahriman8205]

Did you guys beat him in the end? Also high-five your dad on us for playing JRPGs with his kids. Not often you find someone who'll play all the way through one of those with their kids :P

[@blazeoconnor9899]

I remember when I fought this guy for the first time. I turned all of my characters in to dragoons and got destroyed. Good times good times

[@Ryukasan1]

There is 50 stardust in the entire game if i remember. Every time you got 10, there is a child in the former village of Haschel that gives you a gift. The final gift for collecting the 50 is the Vanishing Stone, that allows you to destroy Faust illusion in the Tower of Flanvel, so that you fight the real one.

[@RyanPKs]

BEST RPG OF ALL TIME.

[@TetsuTeito]

I love how he keeps using fire stuff on Dart... the FIRE dragoon!

[@SwordHMX]

cobra1341 Faust counters every attack with the spell of his attacker. Without the right equipment, this does hurt badly.

[@MK3]

+IronTate7 Every time you hit Faust he counters with two attacks. A single target magic attack with the same element as the attacker followed by an all targets magic attack with the opposite element of attacker. Example... If you hit him with Dart, he'll counter Dart with a Burn Out , then follow that up with a Fatal Blizzard. It's a very tricky boss.

[@Cyril86]

Meru: Heavy Mace Legend Casque Blue DG Armor Dancer's Shoes Dancer's Ring

[@InsertAwesomeNameHere]

Cyril's characters are wearing Legend Casques, which not only give a crapload of magic defense, but also give +50% magic evasion. That's why they're dodging the spells like crazy.

[@Cyril86]

There is no such thing as "wrong characters" Just use who you like to use.

This game is a classic and best of its day

[@imnotalogin]

I always loved how when you would be in the middle of an intense flame and it would still be a "Miss".

[@Cyril86]

The ultimate additions aren't gained by levels. Instead, you get them when you level all other additions for that character up to level 5. (ie: 80 successful uses)

[@KiseiruYoshioka]

Equip a legendary casque and you are good enough to withstand all of Faust's attack. You can purchase it at Lohan Armory.

[@edgarnavarro7396]

This music is so badass

[@hopelessromanticpify]

I've beaten this game over a dozen times and did not know you could fight this guy

[@RejectedSpiritX]

My party of choice is Dart, Albert, and Miranda. Each one equipped with a Legend Casque. Dart has Magical Greaves and a Bandit's Ring (for Agility), as well as his Fairy Sword, Albert the Bandit's Shoes, Bandit's Ring, and Partisan. Miranda the Dancer's Shoes and Dancer's Ring, and her Arrow of Force. Albert and Miranda are most useful in terms of Dragoon form because Miranda can use Gates of Heaven as needed, and Albert with Rose Storm to cut all damage in half. The agility items equipped will cut down on the number of times Faust can attack in a row. Don't waste your time on attack magics of any kind. They won't do any good. They won't hit him or will barely scratch him. Even Psyche Bomb X is useless. I always go with the most powerful Additions, which will be their final ones. Power Down and Speed Down are useful, but cast them when his HP starts getting low.

[@Melachromatic]

***** Actually you don't really need Dragoon form against Faust, if you have the Legend Casque AND the DG Armors equipped, as well as the final additions, as shown in this video. Dart, for example, in this takes no damage from his fire counters, because he has the Red DG Armor on, not because of the Casque. So the best strategy is to use the characters that deal the highest damage, for which Albert's final addition is a good choice. I would choose Meru over Miranda though, because she has the highest Agility of any character, and Perky Step should deal more damage than Miranda's bow. Meru's DG Armor is also obtainable before this fight, while Miranda's isn't obtainable until the final dungeon. Psychebomb IS useful, why, because it gets rid of those 4 little things around him. Faust can cast a unique attack with them on the field, and it hits even through Legend Casque, as seen at 2:33-2:39 in the video. If the player is busy healing or throwing items, he will use this attack instead.

[@RejectedSpiritX]

Melachromatic Are we talking about the same game? You cannot hurt the four things around him. They're not targets. I don't use Dragoon form with Dart. Just with Albert to cast Rose Storm and Miranda to use Moon Light and Gates of Heaven.

[@vanishingstone1637]

This is by far the hardest opponent in the game. I wasn´t sure if I could beat him at all.

[@pearljamm3636]

i absolutely loved this game..... seriously underrated. this was the only boss i never fought but i remember reading about him in the game in that Wingly city or something. one game i could have a remake/sequel for, it would be this one

[@SloHellboy]

For everyone to know, first you need all the stardust to get Vanishing Stone from Martel, then go to where you faught Llyord and trough many teleports till you find Faust. Normal Defense doesn't matter here, all that matters is your magic defense, you need to get it really high and get DG armours along with Legendary Casquets and those high adition attacks. He is weak to physical attacks and does a counter attack to your type of damage. Dont attack too much, have a mix of defending and attacking

[@mrprince5456]

15 years ago…

[@Cyril86]

You could have watched the video to the end to see my levels... My levels in this fight were... Dart and Meru: 34 Haschel: 32

[@LunaUlysses]

Attach Dancer's Shoes, Dragoon Helmet, Meru's best shoes (They give speed), the accessory that restores 10 percent life each round, and Meru becomes the best character in the game. Thanks to her, I managed to barely beat this boss.

[@Maul3rR4ngx]

i completely agree, even tho this game was way ahead of its time with its graphics, it woud still look even betr being remade today. This game was the first rpg i ever played and to this day it is still the best.

[@LloydNorin]

each time you collect 10 pieces and bring them to the lady, she gives you a gift like equipments.. once you collect them all (50), the last gift will be the vanishing stone, which you can use in the flanvel tower to make faust's ghost disappear and explore the secret part of the tower.. where you will fight faust

[@Cyril86]

I am playing on a computer. And i happen to use my very own game CD's. :P I use the ePSXe emulator to play the games, FRAPS to record, and VirtualDubMod to encode my videos.

[@David92SJG]

They should make a Legend of the Dragoon movie..this game was on point.

[@dallaspatton1118]

I'd watch one that used the same graphics as this games top quality video scenes.

[@ritterbrown5474]

I can remember how brutal this particular fight was without a guide. Had no idea how to optimize fights when I was a kid.

[@Angelalex242]

The idea is, Legend Casque on all members, and Dragoon Armor on all members. He always hits a character with their own element, so if you've got Dragoon Armor on, it always does 0 damage.

[@alvinoctavianus7456]

But Haschel, Miranda, and Kongol have their dragoon armor at the moon. Which can't return once you arrived.

[@Vulpori]

@@alvinoctavianus7456 then dont use them here kongol has low magic def anyways

[@justwait1519]

Ah Legend of the thrown items. I miss this game.

[@CruxisCryst]

If he turned into Dragoons he wouldn't have been able to use items and guard. And I also wonder why the masked guys never attacked, maybe they are just there to aid him during some spells.

[@zeronexus992]

The fact that you get about a quarter per boss fight and a penny per regular battle just getting the money to buy the legend Casques is hard enough. They has 3 of them and deserves credit for getting them.

[@curtismeiring467]

I wish you would remake this for PS4. I buy it instantly I beat the first now make a second such a great game. id just remake it in different graphics.

[@getsugatensho7465]

The thing about Faust is his HP bar. Each time his HP bar change colour, he uses a powerful attack (the one with no incantation scene) at the same element as the first, second or third member of your party. In this case: HP bar colour blue: Fire (for Dart) HP bar yellow: Water (for Meru) HP bar red : Lightning (for Hashel) Since this is his most powerful attacks, if you protect yourself by using the Dragoon Armor (not the transformation, the actual armor), he is much more easy. But still a mess to deal with. Just a little help if you don’t have the anti-magic armour

[@martinmelodist5441]

Ĺĺ

[@Rawr1752]

I tried to fight this guy without the Legend Casque or the Dragoon Armors... His first attack wiped everyone. Time for Legend Casque grinding...

[@erenjaeger3386]

Rawr1752 I played on an emulator, farmed for hours/days and only bought 1 and had half the the amount left for another, I got tired and used cheats and bought every single person one and I became so powerful I didn't even bother fighting him lol

[@TheCrimsonKodiak]

+Eren Jaeger I got lucky and farmed from those birds that give loads of money or experience.

[@Dradogs2]

+Eren Jaeger all i did was sell pointless items beforehand and then i got the casque

[@erenjaeger3386]

Dradogs2 i could have bought three of them but i thought I might as well do it a faster way lolol and i had already rid my inventory of useless stuff but those casques are superexpensive

[@erenjaeger3386]

GoldenBear92 i never thought of doing that for some reason ..

[@ManaketeAli]

He is on disk four within the same place as the optional bosses but be careful he is strong and can only be hit when you have all 60 stardust.

[@SeraphSeph]

@xSurinach faust is actually more vulnerable to physical attacks and normal master additions do more damage than dragoon additions. There is almost no reason to turn into a dragoon in this battle (unless you're using miranda or meru for healing)

[@Saforge]

Ahhh...so this is where that final boss got some of those special attacks, the ice pillars, the wind tunnel. Very nicely done by the way, I really doubt I'll ever find all 50 stardust though, if I'm lucky I'll get like...25 oh well, nice job dude.

[@Cyril86]

Yeah he is. He's pretty much impossible without either a Legend Casque or some other way to drastically reduce his magic damage. For example that big fireball attack he did at the start does around 4000 damage if you don't have a Legend Casque equipped. =P

[@DavidLe-i9e]

This is an endgame boss done right. Your rare equipment isn't an advantage but a NECESSITY in this fight.

[@diablocell]

@Innoruk I haven't played this game in years, but I always loved that spell. Because it warps the battle music as well. I've never been sure if they did that on purpose or not but either way, its great.

[@TheRobstar360]

Just seeing these end-game battles is what makes me want to play the whole game through just to try them. So much win.

[@IsariaYukimuraCh]

It wasn't until a few years ago I realized that Guard actually healed you in this and that the Elemental Weapons were still viable when you get them, I'd honestly take a port of this even it's just added Trophies and maybe some neat stuff like a soundtrack and art gallery

[@elantragr]

I really wish they would remake this game for the ps3. Not to change iot to much but to improve the graphics the fight scenes. This game was so unique with the addition combos, and the character depth, you didn't just feel a connection with the principle characters Dart,Sauna and Lambert/Albert but you also felt the connection with Kongol, Lloyd, and all the others. I honestly think that Sony can seriously cash in on a rebirth. Thumbs up if you agree. Lets see how many votes we can get

[@sdark328]

With Legend Casque this guy's a joke.

[@Robben911back]

Magician Faust uses 2 of the same attacks like the last form of the last boss. Thats pretty cool. It shows that this boss is dangerous and has devastating attacks.

He's in the entrance to the city of death... You can find him in the teleporter circle thing if you go around long enough.

[@kewlguy1021]

Wow i think ive watched all your videos and let me say you rule man i swear i am huge fan on this game and just when i thought i had done it all by beating it like 6 times you come up with this thanks man! I even got the disk's on my psp so i can play legend of dragoon any time i want! Thanks again i would honestly give a lung to get a remake of this for the ps3 or even playing as zieg in the dragon campaign would be nice thanks!

[@Cyril86]

You learn Perky Step by Mastering all other additions. (Mastering means getting them to level 5.)

[@SloHellboy]

You can buy helmet in Lohan, for Stardust, write in google legend of the dragoon stardust and you will find pages that tell you for each location of each stardust. To make him miss your, 1 or even better 2 characters have to have their DG armour, 1 or 2 have to have the legend casque and 1 has to have the spell on himself that makes him invincible for spell damage. Also the last special attacks really help, a lot more damage.

[@Chaseosa]

I never got to face this guy. :( But I played this game so much my chars were in the mid 40s by the time I actually finished the game :P I beat the last boss with losing not even half health, so i'm pretty sure this guy would be easy as pie for me :)

[@whyld2171]

It shows their levels at end of vid. What a great game.

[@KnightzANT]

I'm doing a second playthrough (1st time thru I didn't do any research and just beat the game, I didn't know about the "repeating" items... anyway long story short, I went past the point of no return without defeating faust or any of the Dragoons from the past)...this time I have all 50 stardust and all 10 "repeating" items..I'm in Aglis right now, pretty stoked about a perfect file !!

[@ZellDincht1226]

[@TIvzTIP18]

New petition let's go guys only 30 secs or less to sign

[@Cyril86]

This is with 3 Legend Casques. Legend Casque is by far the best helmet for this fight, and for pretty much every other fight. They give ridiculous magic defense and 50% magic evasion.

[@alvinoctavianus7456]

I used 2 legend casque for Dart dan Haschel. While Albert KO just in 2 turns without it. I let Albert KO and use Angel's Prayer when Fauz's HP is red (low).

[@petergriffin9901]

thanx so much i really appreciate it...one question though,is it neccessary to have collected all 50 stardust??

[@SloHellboy]

and if you haven't noticed, if you attack with fire, he uses a fire spell, so that's why DG armors are life savers here. I used Shana with the Legend Casque and DG armor, Dart for attacking and he had DG armor and Rose in Dragoon form (more magic defense) with DG armor, Dart and Rose had their best additions maxed out. Power up, Power Down, Speed up and Speed Down and the spell against Damage are all very useful also. But be careful, i had to revive Rose 2 times before i got her in Dragoon form.

[@HarmfulDesign]

You need at least 3 Angel Scarfs; even with these, he still does huge amounts of damage. Having the various dragon armors for your characters also helps a lot.

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

Legend casques reduce magic damage by like 50% and also give you a 50% chance to straight up evade magic. Those alone trivialize this entire fight.

[@VioletScorpion]

Wow, such a variety of spells in only one boss!

[@crazy1111111111]

that is my all time favorite team. nothing compares :-)

[@atmdusty]

Faust is actually one of the easier bosses if you have the right equipment. 10K hat, therapy ring, one of the cloaks, or shield that reduces magic damage by half, and your dragoon armor. His attacks almost never hit and the attacks that do land will do little to no damage.

[@DoofusInc]

haha what a coincidence...i stumbled into this vid just as I was reading your walkthrough :P BTW would a normal vanishing stone work against faust? by normal i mean not receiving it from martel

[@jmilla321]

what they need to make is a prequel where you play through as zeig rose and the others in the dragon campaign against the winglies

[@Kojiru1012]

Its in disc 4, after you have collect all 50 stardust and talk to martel. Go to that snowy field place and go to the tower there. He's inside the tower, but I think there a puzzle you have to solve first, but im not 100% sure on that. Hes also a pain to beat...but the goodies afterwords are worth it if i remember correctly.

[@eternalblue5566]

Wow he really loves watching his fire miss on dart apparently.

[@TheFASTFURIOS4]

i played and passed all, but there a few bosses that are inmortals like this one, but the story in one of the best i have ever play i love this game

[@LloydNorin]

well done Cyril ;) yeah u're right, I remember fighiting with 3 legend casques equipped and maybe 3 phantom shields, but that way I couldn't enjoy that battle. Now i'm at the end of disk 3, as soon as i get all 40 stardust pieces i'd like to to try to fight him without casques or ph. shields.. that must be a real challenge!

the best thing to do is use the additions that give you the most sp and keep dart with mp and keep using his divine dragoon magics darts best addition for sp for example burning rush 204 sp every time you use it! if its mastered of course

[@ThatAgent]

@OMGGSD LOL you need to find all 50 stardust in the game, then exchange those stardusts with Martel (Who you keep bumping into every once in a while) to get a Vanishing Stone, which is used to make Magician Faust vulnerable to your attacks.

[@holyforce000]

@ISesseriI Easy; get Dart at a high level, use Soul eater and therapy ring before battle, then use power up item. The player could also haveused power down on faust to decrease def. to the point where it would be beyond 3000, but Faust is too fast so the effect would be wasted that is if he wanted to do the power down item on him.

[@blahblahoww123]

god, yes, a sequel was made, japan only, due to legal reasons. the contract stated they could finish it, even though it was originally dreamt up by SCEA. they were not responsible for the ende product, and thus did not want anything to do with it. however, a port for the PSP and a third has been rumored, but not confirmed.

[@sonica02]

The Lohan equipment is a total gamebreaker if you are able to buy it all. You can just avoid practically every single attack and never have to worry about the (annoying imo) button-mashing minigame while attacking. Rose is easily the best character, imo. Reasonably good stats all around, and gets the best sword in the end. And she looks cool.
