Xenosaga Episode III - E.S. Levi II Fight

Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra Gameplay in 1080p 60fps
Following her resignation from Vector in the wake of her discoveries and the Gnosis Terrorism, Shion allies with underground group Scientia to investigate. Her former co-worker Allen takes her place looking after KOS-MOS. Meanwhile, Canaan, Jr., Jin, chaos, MOMO and Ziggy are investigating a landmass that originated from Lost Jerusalem. They are attacked by Margulis, then the landmass is swallowed with the Elsa in an inverted pocket of hyperspace. Shion meanwhile visits Allen, and sees the demonstration of two new weapons for fighting the Gnosis-T-elos, a battle robot meant to replace KOS-MOS; and Omega, a mech created from the Proto Omega's remains and piloted by Abel. After the test, T-elos' creator Roth Mantel informs Allen that KOS-MOS will be scrapped so development can focus on T-elos. As KOS-MOS's weaponry is the only way to break into the hyperspace pocket and save the Elsa, Shion leads the group into the facility and rescues KOS-MOS, guided at one point by Abel. During this time, Shion has frequent visions of the girl Nephilim, and has blackouts where she is contacted by U-DO. Events are also observed by Wilhelm, who is working with the Testaments to find both Abel and Abel's Ark.

Honestly knowing that Margulis has had his life been a lie, but the only thing that keeps him going is one final fight with Jin, and then THIS BGM kicks in, made the fight really memorable. (Until i died and had to do it again lol). I kinda wish Muhmkhar as a rival to Dunban in xenoblade 1 was like anywhere near as good as this, but they just made him simply a bad guy.

[@ASteelWheel]

Margulis should have redeemed himself by fighting with them against Wilhelm.

[@MasakanSolaris]

​@@ASteelWheelNo by this point he was far too broken. All of them were.

[@ASteelWheel]

@@MasakanSolaris good point. Come to think of it, everyone was a tragic mess. Imagine living your life for a cause you put everything in for, only to learn that you have been, from the very start a disposable pawn and that all you can cling to is a final fight with a rival who at the same time, you know deep inside is one of if not the only one who truly understands you. Maybe thats why he could never let go of his beef with Jin. He knew he and Jin were pretty much on the same side of the coin.

One of gaming's absolute best boss fights.

[@ASteelWheel]

Agreed. Very memorable.

[@albedogk8521]

Best fight of the series

[@NerdOnGaming]

Right 👍

[@ASteelWheel]

i never thought that the real trick to getting rid of the vajra armor is to simply spam level 1 awakening attacks.

[@NerdOnGaming]

Awakening level 1 use only 1 anima gauge so i can use it many times to crack vajra armor faster

[@ASteelWheel]

@@NerdOnGaming i agree man. i remember playing this back all the way in 2007 and kept dying over and over because i chose to keep saving up for anima level 3 specials. i replayed the game 9 years later in 2016 out of boredom and found that using a strategy similar to yours was way way better and less stressful. another problem for me was the kevin fight hahaha

[@NerdOnGaming]

@@ASteelWheel yeah this one is worth to replayed although it’s kinda hard to finished 🤣🤣, many bosses are too hard to defeat like the bonus dungeon bosses, i had to keep grinding and leveling, but still hard to defeat 🤣

[@tinocarbajal4445]

dammit the serious needs to come back

[@Ryan-nq9tk]

How do you get that clear quality resolution if you don't mind me asking ?

[@NerdOnGaming]

I play this game on pcsx2 emulator using 6x native graphic setting to make it uhd

[@ASteelWheel]

By the way, is there any equipment you can find or buy which will reduce the damage you get from Blazing Judgement? It seems to one shot certain characters even if they are adequately leveled or have good stuff on them.

[@NerdOnGaming]

I don't think so, just buy the best equipment in the newest shop, and always heal when the hp reduced

[@ASteelWheel]

@@NerdOnGaming I see. The creators of the game did a damn GOOD job of making ES Levi and Kevin have all the final boss vibes and difficulty. These two final fights are the real problem you have to deal with and grind for prior to reaching this part of the game. Zarathustra was more of a story boss. Still challenging but is nothing compared to Levi and Kevin's battles.

[@simonefiumicini]

@@ASteelWheel exactly, you are forced to play well because you can't spam erde kaiser sigma like in the final boss

[@courtroonegg]

The shop right outside his door next to the save point, if you don't have it already, there is an 1/2 guard (not 100% sure of exact name, it has guard in the title) you can equip to your ES. Whenever you see that Margulis is readying his special attack use "charge" before his next turn. It will buffer the attack.
