Tales of Eternia- EX Boss 5: Cless & Arche [NIND/Hardcore Mode]

No Items, No Death
A pretty nice battle, though the scales are tipped a bit more in their favor. Getting rid of Arche ASAP is the right way to handle it since her spells will lock you down and get ya killed quickly. Freeze Lancer is probably the biggest offender, but Rising Phoenix deals with her quickly.
As for Cless, he hits pretty hard and matches Reid pace-for-pace, but he doesn't have much HP. Problem is attacking him without the Derris Emblem is a bit iffy, since Reid's accuracy isn't always spot on and combos can end up getting reversed and smacked down. Fortunately his Rising/Burning Phoenix can be all but negated with the proper capes, and he leaves himself open after Spiral Destruction/Neo Swarm/Prettymucheverythinghedoes. At a certain HP he begins spamming Doomensional Strike, and always follows up with Sonic Blade is he misses...which is annoying since he just repeats endlessly like Valkyrie if you're in range. He can't be DDC'd or Quasi Seal'd, so it's a straight up duel in the end. Overall it's not too bad, though I really took my sweet time with it.

[@StreamHypeBoyByNewJeans]

To this day I still wonder why this game is so underrated unlike Suikoden 2 or Chrono Cross

[@ThePsychowizz]

"who should i contract to dub the game???" "Dunno... Just call the guy that serves coffee..."

[@fernie-fernandez]

To be honest, the director of the dub and the voice of Reid is Kevin Miller...Sly Cooper...!

[@vand.bastelli]

they need to pixel remaster this game, its a masterpiece, how i miss it, and it brings a lot of teenage memories.

[@midomemofakhr]

The character of Cless outside battle should have been made like that in psp version Man hope they really make a really badass remake of Tales of Phantasia.

[@blizzliftie]

I second this!

[@Diserasta]

I use Neo Tempest Swarm + Megasonic Cross for maximal damage output. And yes... I was waiting for Albain Finality: Final Justice and its Auroral Counter. You acted by my expectations, thanks =]

[@highvoltageplasma]

This is my favorite battle from this game. Took me 450 attempts to beat them once without equipment swapping.

[@megasoniczxx]

wow that was a great way to finish the fight great job on this one.

@ChromaLuke "Not so fast to you! AURORA WAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!" "Holy SH*T!"

[@muhammadrauf2600]

I played this on the psx, I can't remember how many times I die before I finally defeated them. Finding wonder chef took me a long time too haha back then we didn't have the luxury of the Internet. 😁 Some of you might say the dubbed is bad but back then if there's an rpg games with a voice it's already very good because back then it was mostly in text. 🤪 Gosh I feel really old now haha

5:04 is that Mint on the background cheering?

[@rulianafonso]

Yes, and also Klarth.

Who else is fav tales games characters is cress?

Siri, play emotions lost in time

[@Faceless_time_traveler]

Mine is Farah , but Cless is right behind her

[@doggypi1532]

Those emcees are brave to stay on the arena with all those things happening lol~ But that sure got close huh~

[@zennvirus7980]

Ability Test, together with Tenacity from Tales of Vesperia, my two favorite tracks ever from the Tales of series. And what I consider Sakuraba's best work.

[@eeeeggnog._.]

Velvet's theme is my favorite rn but I've only played vesperia and berseria

[@chiefbeef3587]

The dreadnought, coup de grace (Destiny 2) or Fatalize (Symphonia) are even better imo.

[@Faceless_time_traveler]

When you patch the game with Japanese voice acting , Cless actually has his voice actor . Makes me wonder why they didn't give him a voice

[@elitemedium]

So nostalgic I finish this game on 2002 on a 98% game completion...💪💪😎😎😎

[@Vercsase]

@pieoverlord I was honestly expecting the last Sonic Blade to take him out, totally forgot about Final...Justice....

[@an3582]

I love this game, played through it twice on PSP.

[@regalstar]

After Cress uses Dimension Blade you can simply walk back in his Dimension Blade range and he won't Sonic Blade you.

[@regalstar]

Last Fencer has the same HP regeneration effect as Holy Symbol IIRC, so you could have used another accessory.

[@Vercsase]

@KeeveSuikoden2Hero Use Rising Phoenix 250 times, then activate Rising Phoenix a second time right after landing from the first use of Rising Phoenix.

[@houseoflove3950]

Jesus...that's some bad voice acting

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

Well it was made long time ago. Most companies could not afford extremely good voice actors.

[@papacitoloko1117]

Dude, back then games were lucky to get as many voiced lines as this game. I can appreciate the effort but undub version for me lol.

[@danzoEX]

That’s an undubbed PSP iso, good thing I got that one

[@mstr293]

I find the Inferians (Reid and Farah) quite tolerable, it's when I got to Celestia I realized how bad it truly is (Chat, Shizel, Max). It's like it's clear that they're reading a script. Meredy's dub was the best imo! It catches the character's appearance as a sweet but clueless teenage foreigner. She reminds me of Teen Titan's Starfire.

[@lhantful]

You just discovered this 4 years ago. But when it first came out, it's not really bad. It just went bad because you got to hear good ones before this. But we're lucky and thankful they were able to do this.

[@tailedgates9]

Cless, what the fuck? Arche wasn't part of the agreement. XD

[@xeanheart]

Cress knows what's up.

[@pieoverlord]

Hah, did you plan that ending? Sehr gut.

[@Flegan777]

Nice timing on the Eruption and Indignation dodge (and jumping back in after the effect passes).

[@Vercsase]

@KeeveSuikoden2Hero You can use it as much as you want, but it does cost a lot of TP to use. I think about 100 TP without any Faerie or Emerald ring equipped, but I may be wrong.

[@lilshokan]

Always found it odd that cress and arche never had voices to dub over in english

[@KeeveSuikoden2Hero]

@Vercsase can you tell me how did you perform Burning Pheonix please...?

[@locle3590]

just repeatedly press skill rising pheonix when you hit your enemy ( the key to perform burning pheonix is when reid nearly touch the ground ) you have to press repeatedly rising pheonix skill then (for example my rising pheonix skill is { => + O} gamepad ) it'll perform burning pheonix

[@NormanReaddis]

Someone already took research for "Dragon demon chaos" The skill is non existent but the voice clip exist

[@WestShit]

this is omega demon chaos next form

[@KeeveSuikoden2Hero]

@Vercsase how much TP will it consume if you equip the Faerie or Emerald then...?

[@OmegaVideoGameGod]

Very good :)

[@rajilowell]

Rising phoenix!

[@ChromaLuke]

@Vercsase "Mega so-" "Not so fast! Albain FINALITY!!!!!!" By the way, why is there a minecraft video in the video suggestions box?

[@Faceless_time_traveler]

Epic finisher

[@KeeveSuikoden2Hero]

@Vercsase I see, does Burning Phoenix use TP as well...? and how many times can you use Burning Phoenix...?

[@thovinh5386]

50TP. As long as you have TP for it.

[@locle3590]

you can use burning pheonix anytime as long as you press it in time it'll perform burning phoenix

[@MrXelnagakail]

Hi, is this play on ppsspp emulator? When I play on emulator I cannot execute tempest strike while jumping, shortcut key is ↑ + O

[@DigiPen92]

Tales of Destiny II (Eternia) did actually got ported to the PSP. The PSP version is not available in North American Region.

[@MrXelnagakail]

@@DigiPen92 Thanks for reply, I figure out how to do mid air tempest strike though.

[@staysharp2453]

Tales of Phantasia and Eternia are from the same universe? o.0

[@nullavitasinemusica1]

It's called a cameo battle

[@staysharp2453]

Anna Katharina Cameo battle unite characters from different 'tales of' games? That happens in every tales?

[@nullavitasinemusica1]

It doesnt happen in every tales game But in many Reid makes a cameo in abyss for example Cress, stahn, rutee and mint were the latest ones in xillia 2

[@xXOphidianXx]

Anna Katharina Stahn was in Tales of Destiny

[@nullavitasinemusica1]

it's about cameo stupid

[@podonline8329]

I never completed this arena, makes me wanna buy a psp charger and pull my old friend out of the box, ps. im 25yrs old and I finised this game back in highschool

[@QuanLovesGaming]

You can download it via ppsspp emulator on your phone or computer.

[@darellmaurjr.1303]

Just equip with Derris emblem and faerie ring BAM beat the shit out of him

[@freedom4651]

how the heck cless didn't spam his sonic blade?

[@thovinh5386]

because he knows how to make cless not spam sonic blade.

[@diparaditya6105]

PSP or PSX?

[@chainedunfree727]

I do not remember having a hard time with cress. The player hp is 9999. I remember facing cress in this tournament with just 6k max hp but I already have burning phoenix. Just spam that skill and cress is easy japaneasy
