Golden Sun - Final Boss

[@Mettalus]

Holy crap, Ivan didn't die. That's a miracle!

[@jon2kx]

He played Ivan correctly. Ivan was never supposed to be about high damage. He was utility, Ivan stopped the casting of Outer Space, the strongest attack of Fusion Dragon, by continually buffing the party with High Impact. This makes up for a lot of his loss of Damage Dealt Per Turn (DDPT) in summon damage from all three remaining players. He baited Fusion Dragon into a constant situation where he had to curb increased Damage Over Time/Turns or DOT vs DDPT or Damage Dealt Per Turn to the players. The additional damage dealt by the player, due to the strength buff from High Impact caused Fusion dragon to cast Break. Essentially Fusion Dragon was not programmed in a way that he could not reliably make a choice between the mechanic and going for the kill. He could only respond to the player's strategy, without advancing his own strategy. Static. It's the players fault if they lose against Fusion Dragon.

[@dazzlemasseur]

@@jon2kx I think he meant it as a joke. because ivan and sheba have such low stats in both games. it's obvious they'll die often when playing the game for the first time and/or if you're new with rpg turn based.

[@juanjosedelpinorivas7099]

@@jon2kx Whoa, after so many years I just discovered the mechanics of Outer Space lol.

[@countereclipse]

@@jon2kx this is new to me. I always keep my revives with me just so I can revive continously, and tend to make sure Isaac has enough Djinn for revive.

[@cloudandallybenchmarks]

If this game didn't push the limits of the GBA hardware with all the particle effects, I don't know what did then. I miss this game.

[@ventricality6997]

The game didnt go away!

[@FirebladeXXL]

its fun to see how every golden sun player has a different playstyle.

[@preda505]

DatVocals! Thought the same thing, i hardly ever use djinns in boss fight unless needed to because of the stats and class loss

[@FROZENbender]

what?? i use djinns as often as I can, every fight, especially boss fights. I always thought they are pretty op because of the insane defensive buffs or big hits they can inflict

[@oyeh8908]

By the endgame I just spam Megiddo and Legend against everything that isn't Dullahan.

[@michaell9022]

Thats all i use is djinns in boss fights. I hardly use pp attacks unless all the djinns are used up or healing. You have everything you need when you have 7 or more per element.

[@OmegaCKL]

I always relied purely on Psynergy and Djinn making my class stronger, and almost never used summons because I didn't want to drop in stats.

[@whydoyoukeeptalking]

man this game was mind blowingly beautiful on the GBA. I still think its a pretty game and i miss it to death. I hope they make a new 1 for the switch. I'd buy it right away.

[@harrysaintespenilla3592]

SAME! We need more games like this. I thought I am Setsuna can top this one but didn't even come close :(

[@boblenon3170]

I played this when I was 12 I m 29 now and I still have the gba and this game and I ts still marvelous

[@nobodyjustgo.2943]

nopee no game :(

[@alanlee67]

Eduardo I guess we'll have to settle for octopath and the new bravely sequel. Not too bad.

[@MacMak-hq3kl]

Stay hopeful! It’s starting to sound likely

[@f1criss]

childhood.

[@18idlesuggest]

I remember playing the final boss for the first time, I was so satisfied to beat those two, only to find out I have to fight an even stronger fight WITHOUT recovery... I was like.. "What the fuck?!"

[@MathGeekQ]

the screen shattering effect gave me goosebumps the first time i saw it. Good times.

[@feiwong3634]

This game is so dear to my heart. I still yearn for Golden Sun 4.

[@markjasondimen5818]

Same buddy, same

[@Sef1rosu]

Plot twist Isaac , Garet , Ivan and Mia are the final Bosses

[@goldsmith8502]

Technically that's true to an extent.

[@OneColdRepublican]

Isaac: ........... Garet: Seriously, nothing? Not even so much as a twitch from the eye? Isaac: .....*nonchalantly "oh my goooooooood" * Ivan: Alright jackass no reason to be sassy.

[@ChronoJedi]

That moment when Doom Dragon uses a DEVASTATING ATTACK but only takes away 10HP HAHAHHAHA!

[@FlamingZelda3]

I remember fighting the fusion dragon as a kid, I was lost by the story and all signs indicated I was at the halfway point of the story, so when I came back I reset my game. It wasn’t till I got halfway through my second play though that I realized the dragon was the final boss.

[@Priinsu]

I was about 9 years old when I first played GS and the first time seeing the fusion dragon I was like WTF is that??!!

[@Wurmo]

I like how the uploader didn't skip the texts right away, so the dragon busted onto the screen at the right time when the tune of the music changed.

[@research_winter]

Didn't notice that

[@DNGRO]

I have yet to find a JRPG of this excellence and this caliber for my PSP, PS3 or PSV... This is why i could never leave my DSi alone

[@QuadiePoo]

Jahmel Crooks it is such a good game. I’ve been playing Octopath Traveler and it reminds me a bit of this game. Had to revisit this

[@michaell9022]

Try to secure a version of valkyrie profile lenneth (psp preferably) its on ios now. Not as good as GS but very close. Octopath is pretty good and xenoblade chronicles 2 is VERY GOOD.

[@amatmik]

All those turns and not a single Outer Space?

[@SlyRocko]

When I did literally every second turn was an Outer Space attack rip

[@nekroneko7335]

He did it twice in one turn when I tried

[@jon2kx]

He baited out the Break instead, by continually buffing the party with Ivan's attack increasing magic. High Impact. Every time he would have normally cast Outer Space, he instead casted Break. #SickStrats

[@mystergamer0750]

My tactic was to buff my units and then debuff enemy and then attack whit 4 dijin specials

[@LieutenantMar]

Fr

[@saiyansnake]

Oh man the memories!! This game was ahead of it's time

[@ericcorona8167]

This was literally the hardest boss ever for me as as a kid lol. I didn’t really play defensively though, was always just trying to get the summons out lol

[@harrysaintespenilla3592]

This is the most exhausting boss fight I've ever had in JRPG haha

[@andreaswibowo6177]

Um... Star magician and dullahan in lost age tho?

[@FilthyGaijin]

@@andreaswibowo6177 Oh man, i remember raging and being stuck for like a week with Dullahan. I had to grind levels so much to even be able to last more than a few rounds

[@Alexander-td4kg]

Try dragon quest 4 final boss which has 7 different forms

[@biohazard2236]

Look at Ivan's hp at the start of the battle.

[@dylanbjustrom6096]

I remember how excited I was when I defeated this boss. I screamed YES!!! and my dog got up to see what was going on.

[@slufed9985]

I lost my DS on the final boss 😂🤣

[@Kai_soze]

Hardest boss battle I ever had to go thru as a kid. It was so frustrating haha. The music is amazing too. Really underrated game. Golden sun would make an amazing mmo

[@kay2kid]

Holy crap there is a fire Djinn called Corona

[@Kbtoy789]

That first battle theme is so epic. Love it!!!

[@LonesomeDevil]

Awesome job ! Epic Finisher ! I will never understand why Saturos and Menardi gained such a power boost in Venus Lighthouse while Isaac and Garet gained just... nothing... (Not even at least the loosy PP restore for Isaac like Mia had in Mercury Lighthouse)

[@bohnzo473]

Well to compensate he got a bit of power from the rock with the eye in the second one

[@jonathanbradley4896]

If you pay attention, Isaac's PP is continually refilled every turn. But yeah, the lighthouses beacons should have had a bigger effect on the battles. Big boosts to the element and the opposite elements adapts should have struggled.

[@danieldouglas2963]

@@jonathanbradley4896 also the reason issac pp keeps coming back is cuz of a item that regenerates your pp each turn pretty sure everyone in the party can equip this item

[@wannabestrega]

I think it’s just a thing only Saturos and Menardi’s race can do

[@tiojuan4916]

I just passed this game yesterday 4/2/2024 for the first time what an epic fight. Later I will play the sequel on my switch 👌

[@cestandmuni3849]

Did the play The Lost Age? Mars lighthouse is epic

[@TriniGamerGirl7]

I loved this game back then and still do. The music was great too!

[@MambaRanger]

I recall getting destroyed by the dragon at least six times...i snapepd...grinded two more levels in the tower and came back up for a rematch...took 3 more tries but beating this final double boss fight was insane to me 20 years ago

[@mmomario12]

unfortunately, I cannot get past the Fusion Dragon unless I am at least level 34. It is that difficult for me. It's also the last time I take my brother's advice.

[@Gediness]

I fucking love this game.

[@locojoe8175]

*me, a 11 year old* "I did it! I finally beat them! Wait, what's happening-- AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"

[@KuroUsagi1010]

Wards wards , Imma tell my kids in the future how great this game was

[@slufed9985]

Facts

[@CarlosSilva-bh4bi]

Being honest, this game is kind of absolute in terms of final bosses and dungeons, its just well made on all senses and the final bosses are not only dammage sponges but hurt you hard, forcing you to use EVERYTHING heck, I were moving from the light house to Vale because I wanted more dyjins and Farm EXP because the boss beated my ass hard even before defeating the phase 1

[@julianrodriguez2721]

THIS GAME NEEDS A REBOOT ON THE SWITCH

[@amyvitality66]

Good news. Both game are available on Switch now. :)

[@forestlink6673]

​@@amyvitality66 I mean we need a remake genZ needs to appreciate the game

[@ggrand8698]

4:08 hope he aimed for the heads!

[@jonathonvazquez840]

i remember playing this in high school

[@AlastorNightheart]

I remember when I fought them as a kid, I didnt know they were the final boss, I thought the game would take me through all the lighthouses haha

[@HeroKid55]

Awww.. They both fell "INTO THE PIT" Together... That's cute... In a losing way..

[@linzig32]

this game seems so short if you only show the bosses

[@TekkenOnlineFights]

The early 2000s part of My childhood. 🤗

[@rednoir2268]

Awesome Game.

[@ronaldverdegaal9078]

Isnt it weird Felix talks In this series but isaak doesn’t and it’s vice versa in the sequel

[@bup2810]

Felix talks at the end of the game but yeah, it's weird

[@jonathanbradley4896]

I love how Saturos really suckers you in to think he might actually be planning a peaceful solution only for that, "well you see you guys arent leaving here alive....so yeah" such a great moment with the way that devious music drops.

[@GeoffPibbles]

Man I miss this game. Watching this vid full screen made me feel like I was back 20 years ago playing it again, lol.

[@Lafut1]

Nice finish there with Isaac :) I kinda laughed when Felix said he would fight, but anyway I really enjoyed the battle. Still need to play Dark Dawn

[@weikoonng]

The scene Isaac/Omega finish the Fusion Dragon off by casting ragnarok at the last is MAGNIFICENT to end the battle

[@ExtraExtraBig]

How the hell was this on gameboy?

[@rafarodri04]

i would like a remake or continue for 3ds...i love this saga

[@XxDao05]

Que barbaridad para programar un juego asi.

[@meyneravalos7396]

Cuando lo jugue por primera vez en aquel entonces la verdad me sorprendió demasiado y a estas alturas de la vida sigo pensando que el trabajo que hicieron en este juego y en el 2 es algo fuera de lo común.

[@markjasondimen5818]

I remember the first time I fought this dragon. The excitement I feel that they have more fight to give, and the panic I have after using all of my summons. Very precious memory.

[@slyfly4829]

i wish they would make this game into a live action movie

[@Jbelow56]

FUSION DRAGON ATTACKS! IT DEALS...four..teen. damage o.o LOL WUT

[@2startbuttons820]

fusion dragon: *is about to crit garret* Garret: FUCK- *14* oh, ok

[@bohnzo473]

The power of granite + flare, baby

[@Heroaftermath]

Didn't use the Outer Space attack or Severe Blow ONCE. So lucky.

[@jeskaisekai_6785]

The boss ai tends to use "break" after Ivan's "high impact" and doesn't use outer space because of that

[@1989Ezal]

09:31 He use Corona on himself? Are he crazy?!

[@pendlix]

The start of a pandemic Situation

[@markjasondimen5818]

I love Eclipse the most as a summon. Very wonderful dragon.

[@virhilios3789]

Not even 1 "Outer Space"!? Unfuckingbelievable...

[@513hook513]

I remember when the commercial for this came out and me and my friends were like holy shit

[@forestlink6673]

Developers of this game are legends

[@Shartwichh]

This game looks fucking amazing

That's what I was thinking, not one Outer Space

Defeated it many times love this game

[@cljoe35]

Damn! Mad strategy bro you need a pizza!!

[@DioGoodguy]

@Gogito4 ok. but still it has got great animations, even it was a GBA game :D

[@jon2kx]

One of the best games I have ever played, and the second one was even better.

[@celtickiller01]

@HunterRyosuke because Saturos and Menardi are the main villains of the game so its only natural that they gain a massive power boost but Isaac and Garet doesn't.

[@outermeowven]

this game has one of the best battle screens in a jrpg

[@PMTojoHideki]

Nostalgia :")

[@erehinater]

Is this speed playthrough? Because when I beat this boss it so easy with well organize dejin (for job buff) and 2hit sword (a rare drop from monster before final boss room). Anyways, to beat him at this much hp is so awesome.

[@firefie2]

... i lost to the fusion dragon at level 59 since the have issac and garent do the heavy damage stopper at the begining while the other 2 start there summons then the other 2 follow u

[@jaymac0775]

When the hell is Nintendo gonna wise up and make a sequel, or at least an HD remaster of the series? Highly underrated and very enjoyable RPGs.

[@forestlink6673]

Remake will do if they don't make a sequel

[@LUDATHESHOOTER]

This fight served me so many ass whoopins it’s not even funny

Jon the Misunderstood djinns use them also you can see that omega just used pure classes you could go for 2 or 3 element classes

[@forestlink6673]

As a Kid me and my friends gave up in the doom dragon but later on when I already had a job I purchase a platform that can play goldensun and I had a rematch with the final boss
