Legend Of Legaia Secret Boss Battle: Lapis

Relying on your seru is no longer an option when you fight Lapis. However, it doesn't make it as hard as it looks.

[@edwardbutler7808]

One of the best RPG games ever.

[@InoSense85]

Sucks it didn't catch on. The sequel wasn't as good as this game either. I loved the way you could pick which part of the body you attacked with. The combo system was way ahead of its time too. If you were smart enough you could overlap commands to create custom combos.

[@OrphanHart]

David White the sequel failed in many ways even though it did try to bring back certain elements from the first game. Take one simple example, the attacks. The second one had names and inputs that didn't go well with what was being shown on screen where as in the original many things actually made sense. Bull Horns involved two arms reaching out, Slash Kick had inputs that mimicked a jump and downwards kick, etc. but the sequel failed in that. It made me not enjoy the combat. So many other disappointing things: lack of serus, bad voice acting, boring world, enemy variety and appearance was lacking (they had no charm and didn't seem to fit in the world so much as they were just thrown in for the heck of it to me), armor didn't change character's appearance, awful stage design, etc

[@schrodingerscat3912]

it was the aethetic of the first that wasn't reached in the sequel. the level of intensity. the quality and style of the sounds, and music. you're on edge the whole time, truly involved in the plot, the game was a real thriller. idk why it wasn't more mainstream

[@Final-Ts]

One of my most favorite and memorable games ever played (the first game, not the sequel). The story was heart wrenching, the music was epic (composed by Michiru Oshima) and combat system that was creative/fun/unique. The game was very much a "tragedy" (in story)--and one of the only video games that almost made me cry at parts, many years ago. It's very underrated and I'd put it in my top 3 most favorite video game releases of all time, hands down.

[@ChosenPlayer100]

Idk if this works for me if u press X u can block but I don't think that's possible

[@clintonsantiago2197]

We all need a Legend of Legaia Remake.

[@3DWithLairdWT]

I upscaled the intro to 1080p 60fps with AI and updated the music on my channel. Been trying to build up a remake in UE 4, but it costs a lot of time and $$ to work on, lol

[@kingmasterlord]

let's build it in Minecraft

[@JackMihoff6969]

Let’s all stop asking for REMAKES for classics. A remaster should probably be enough and keep the core gameplay which is what made this game wonderful.

[@raiden72]

@@3DWithLairdWT hey u should join forces with gregarfire or that other dude who is working on a separate remake on Patreon Gregarfire's version is somewhat playable

[@williedeguzman4423]

Duel saga but it wasn’t as good as the OG imo

[@alexthering6615]

What I love about Legend of Legaia is their combat system doesn't throw their early game techniques under the bus. A low level tech can be combined to make a strong combo or sprinkle it at the beginning or the end to get a damage boost. They may not be the big damage makers late game but they are still useful.

[@djvk5060]

TORNADO FLAME!

[@hualni]

Quite possibly the most underrated video game ever made.

[@schrodingerscat3912]

severely underrated game

[@creolur]

I remember figuring out how to beat this little bird when I was in grade-schooler in 1998 or 1999. I couldn't read English much back then, and I randomly found a way to beat it with Warrior Icon (counterattack with certain chances) and won with luck (frequently triggered Counter) equipped on Gala (party members at level 35 - 40). After I won, I screamed like mad, lmao. I also learned to love English thanks to this game. Great memory

[@jarrettmaltry6305]

Goddamn, the combo system has still yet to be recreated in modern times and still stands the test of time! I LOVED the feeling of finding new moves whenever I unlocked more slots to attack

[@TheMaxCloud]

Indeed. Today this type of turned combat gameplay would be greatly well received by a lot of people because Legend of Legaia its pretty much the only RPG that has something as this. Its an really really old fresh system that has SO MUCH potential... The things you could do, giving people the thing: "Yeah you have combos each turn, but the game doesnt tell you anything, you try stuff and figure it out, and in some parts you can get books or NPCs that teaches them, but you can unlock every single one of them by trying combinations" So good...

[@ry2950]

Something about hiding a secret boss behind a "random encounter" scared the junk out of me as a kid. Nothing makes your heart go faster than hearing the regular battle music you expected suddenly shift to a boss theme. (Disclaimer: I know it's not "random" because you have to run on a certain tile, but you get the point)

[@vitorfray]

I remember finding this boss by chance. I already had beaten the game, and I was just bored visiting old locations trying to find unopened chests. Then this boss popped. I lost my first 2 fights against him.

[@haggenfar]

This was long ago before everything was documented on yt haha Good old times

[@TheBrowniesOwn]

I found this boss by chance as a kid, was lost, hadnt beaten the game yet and got destroyed. took me FOREVER to bring it down. theres another hidden random super op boss like this in final fantasy ix, i think towards the end of disc 1 or the start of disc 2

[@kevinparsons1902]

@@TheBrowniesOwn There's actually several hidden bosses in FF9 tbh. Hades and Ozma just to name a couple I remember.

[@CidZero]

I remembered as a kid I was in this forest, and explored at a lower level just to find more items. I traveled to the top and suddenly heard Boss music. Boy did I learn my lesson that day lol.

I think Nighto works too.

[@24legend93]

Nostalgia. Such a good rpg game. Hope they will remake this one.

[@djvk5060]

Doubtful unfortunately. Too underground.

[@DancingSword]

I love that the bird negates magic use and then proceeds to flip the fuck out as attacks. It's just a knock down, drag-out fight with a big crazy bird.

[@RaizFutebolTube]

Criminally underrated RPG

I feel bad for Gala, the warrior monk turned utility for the team.

[@spiralbat5118]

You can use a flute and escape, then go back in and refill your MP. Then you can use magic to instantly kill him.

[@soloknight]

@Suffered Person Hmm..I am not sure since the game is hard af at the beginning for me..well at least version is hard.

[@soloknight]

@Suffered Person Oh yeah that is true. I guess is that you can use luminous jewel and multiple Shield Elixirs then Lapis will do poor damage to you and then give someone lots of Power Elixirs to raise their attack for an easy fight since those can stack and they last for the entire battle or the person faints.

[@soloknight]

I also think there was also an easy strat to win unless it was just berserker with the easy strat.
