Tales of Symphonia Impossible mode: KRATOS 1 Min HP, 1/2 Exp, Mania, Mandatory Fights Only

[@HorangiTiger]

I got bamboozled :( 25 minutes... I would not have had the patience for this fight (especially since I know very well how long the build-up to this fight takes). Really nice strategy, party management, and resource management. This fight is an insane accomplishment man! I respect your dedication.

[@theguy446]

Thanks! I've seen so many Solo runs and your Colette run is truly my favorite solo I've ever seen. I genuinely get excited every time you put a video out :)

[@HorangiTiger]

@@theguy446 Thank you! That makes me so happy to hear! :))

[@veghesther3204]

But at least she CAN poison bosses to death and I actually recommend doing that for BOTH Remiel and Kratos here.

[@1degb]

That grade at the end tho 🤣. Crazy fight, such patience!. Good work

[@AmaroqStarwind]

How does Sheena already have a pact with Origin?

[@cactuarnoob100]

I noticed the party screws you a lot of the time when they decide to play creeper to kratos. Nice job.

[@theguy446]

Thanks! yeah managing the party is part of the challenge lol

[@TheBuffon074]

For no item/no death party run, what is appropriate level for this fight?

[@veghesther3204]

On mania mode 10x exp is still a MUST and I still died constantly AT lv 60 AFTER beating BOTH Sylph/Efreet NOW.

[@DodgeThisBam]

I ALMOST did this at 32. However that was on hard difficulty and I had to use ONE Energy Tablet, One Spirit Bottle and an ALL DIVIDE at the end to stop Shena falling to a grave. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2G6iHZqrNyrfsU

[@leroiducouscous0]

Is it normal that Kratos doesn't seem to start the battle at max HP ?

[@TailsGt1]

Late to respond, it's the game's way of saying he's holding back. :P

[@DodgeThisBam]

Godamn man! 25 minuets and you were down to the last of your resources towards the end! The longest I've had a fight go for was 15 minutes (Sword Dancer 3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKurYmycoK1sl5o) but that doesn't have a mass of cutscene AND a boss beforehand. As someone who's sat through that COUNTLESS times I salute your tenacity.

[@veghesther3204]

Without 10x exp its NEAR:Y impossible on Mania mode but it may not be possible to kill him here ON NORMAL mode either without 10x exp since on a 1st run I had lv 30 party members against Remiel and had NO TP left after he's killed with no way to restore IT since I'll go for the NO gels title and at this point the ONLY healing items you'll own are gels and Life bottles only.

[@ianal0028]

I beat him with level 40 party on Mania but spend a lot of Life Bottle/Orange Gel and got -10 grade at the end of the battle, I'm not satisfied with this result lol. Since Thunder Blade is really dangerous, I'm gonna go back to Asgard to buy some Paralysis Charms and attempt this fight again.

[@veghesther3204]

On mania mode I used 10x exp to hit like like 60 here and could STILL RUN out of TP against Remiel on mania mode BUT on a FIRST run I had no TP left to use FOR the Kratos battle at lv 30 and still lost to him due to still NOT being able to use gels for that title.

[@ianal0028]

@@veghesther3204 If you ran out of TP and don't want to use gel then let the boss kill you and revive with Life Bottle instead, Life Bottle also recover your TP.

Wtf are yall on? Him on Mania isn't important and you don't need to be that over leveled to do it. I did it while just barely getting nurse after the Remiel fight on my first run a few years ago. You just gotta understand that if you don't want to use the all divide, which makes the fight 100% easier, you need to keep knocking him down and away from raine and Genis. I got lucky with the Sheena ai and she liked debuffing his defense and starting combos in good positions
