Honestly I did it the hard way because I have the PS1 discs and saved and then tried that section over and over and over and over and over agin until I finally got the ultimate wargod sometimes rng was nice and got it in less than 5 reloads other times it was mean and took me over 20 reloads

I have been replaying the game now that they finally released it on PS5. Your videos have been so usefull as I revist the first RPG I ever played.

If you run inbetween the mountain leading to Hellena prison from the town where dabitz has his shop, right at the mouth of the mountain is a very high encounter rate of those robots and yellow bird special monsters. Give shana as much accuracy gear as you can, and you can farm 3 ultimate wargod callings in about an hr or so.

Did I know most of these? Yes I finally did a 100% run recently lol. But gotta boost the game in the algorithm so I’m always watching lol

I run a full speed + Bonk Power Meru in almost every playthrough. My third slot rotates between Shana or Haschel depending on if I want more healing/magic or just more raw Bonk Power.

Currently playing a dart solo game, about to fight sea dragon. Its been interesting as dart is well over leveled making some bosses easy, but the fun part is some normally easy bosses are tricky. The theif in shurlys temple was really challenging, along with anything that can confuse you if you dont have an accessory to prevent it

What I would do for "Lavitz" I give magical hat and mage ring and the bandit Boots. Mostly to spam rose storm and still hit hard. For a quick play. For Rose, she can be immortal. Rose headband and Holy Ankh. She won't die

Wargod's sash and Spirit Ring can be good accessories for leveling dragoons

Saved to watch later. Hope you included some cheese builds for fun! Or maybe that's a future video!

I remember one time at the very end of the game pre-Moon, I went and killed Faust, then farmed up allllll the gold. Having 3 characters with Legend Casques, Armors of Legend, and Phantom Shields.. with that, even Kongol laughs at the final boss' magic, and Meru laughs at enemy physical attacks. xD

You really love your LoD! Character guides for a 20+ year old game!

I actually figured out a way to make the phantom ship mini game easier. It involves using the rewind and save anywhere features. First time I actually got the ultimate wargod without buying it.👍

Yeah, i've done it on PS1 LoD before, but the rewind function pretty much removed most of the headache of that minigame. Almost always had to wait until you had at least 2 of the same number before even hoping to get the UW.

You’re the GOAT of LoD content. Would be sick to have a video on the LoD story - in multiple part videos per Disc maybe? That’lll guarantee views. A lot of people like myself want to learn more about the lore without reading every text.

So glad you did this video! I am just in chapter four and finalizing kits! Though I am worried I farmed too much gold because nothing even gets close to killing me anymore.

The dragoon armor is also VERY helpful against the optional old Dragoons fights. Thanks for the heals!

Soo happy you made the video!❤ i switched out Albert for Meru. His “Rose storm” is too good. I haven’t died on a single boss since disc 1.

I was just starting to get an itch to go back to playing Legend of Dragoon, and this video was SUPER helpful and informative for helping me decide what to give to my characters. Funnily enough, I had been planning to make Meru a hybrid fighter before you listed gear builds for her, with the strat being to keep her SP low so I can transform, pop off a spell (or status cleansing heal), then go right back to bonking with Perky Step (this would've been especially helpful in those fights where being a Dragoon is detrimental). Meru and Shana would be sharing MP Boosting items and Dancer equips, with Shana taking the Dragon Helm for better survivability, and Meru the Magical Hat. Dart, meanwhile, would be wishing to be a more useful character lol (it's sad when the moment he was most useful for me was when I fought Lloyd for the last time, and I had him transform with the Talisman on to bait Lloyd into trying to instakill him in vain, over and over again while Meru and Rose pummeled the crap out of that twink!)

Attack Badge and Giganto Ring are an alternative accessory on Meru and Hachel, their huge addition multipliers benefit greatly from the extra attack and they dont need the speed, also destroyer mace damage get bigger.

Love the music in this video. Now I want to play FF6

Thanks for the content 😊

There's actually an enemy called "Puck" that drops Dancer's Rings in the Forbidden Lands. It's a 2% drop rate, but since we have a rewind feature for Legend of Dragon on the PS4/5 that let's us scum drop rates, it's something that's easier to farm now.

Let's say you attack and kill the enemy, but dont get the drop, do the rewind feature and then do another action like defend or throw an attack item. This rerolls the RNG and it resets every time a new character's turn comes up.

Yeah I’m just gonna take advantage of rewind to get the ghost ship chest because I hate that chest.

Awesome video ❤

I really like all of the tips, but I really appreciate the final fantasy 3 SNES music. Much appreciated 😊

Till this game was released again I hadn't played it in many years but remembered everything about it. Sadly meant there was little challenge in the game. I purposefully set Lenus into berserk mode for more challenge. I know you mostly cover game mechanics but I would like to see someone go more in depth with some of the story. I got into a debate with a friend about how much Shana (SPOILER) being the Moon Child effected those around her. You see MANY random people compliment her or call her cute or sweet and people just gravitate to her. Something a Moon Child is known for.

So happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you.

I really prefer to use a Mage Ring over Amulet. More MP is nice, yes, but regenerating MP is more my style. My go to for it is Meru. Using Perky Step and the Lv1 dragoon tactic, she can regen every turn, meaning she can regen enough MP to spam Rainbow Breath every two turns. If no healing is needed, just use a Freezing Ring, or attack if you need to regen more. Yes, I do play far too conservatively with my resources in my RPGs. I just don't like the idea of an option being gone (using items, or MP) until you get back to civilization, especially when I like to save my money for those sweet legend helmets and armors. The base MP availability in this game just doesn't work for me, so I have to cheese it.

Amulet is great for Shana/Miranda along with the Magical Hat. The hat doubles her base Magic Points. Amulet gives her an extra 50 (250 MP in total!). That means she can pull off 3 White-Silver Dragon spells in a row if she needs to, plus have a little left over.

So Rose basically plays Yugioh 5D's for her equipment setup. Also one accessory I'd add that i didn't notice mentioned are the two Talismans. They won't really be needed for most of the base game, but can come in handy for one or two of the later fights in the game.

I'll subscribe cause of the commitment to this old ass game 😂

A few things, 1 I would double subscribe to you if I could, 2 I am very interested in anything LoD based and absolutely love everything you've put out so far. Onto other items, any unique builds you can think of would be awesome, not necessarily just this build is better then others (which you did great in this video), I am more interested in mechanics, builds, capitalizing on character strengths then I am just "this is how you get this item" tutorials. Anyway, love the videos you have done wonderfully, I will make sure I watch all your LoD videos

Something I needed to remember was to NOT sell ALL of my extra equipment too soon because you can’t remove equipment unless you have something to replace it with. Got stuck with the wrong people wearing the bandit shoes and couldn’t change it 😵‍💫

For the ultimate gear, I really I only get 2 Legendary Casques and that's it. I stick them on Albert & Kongol and mostly leave them there unless I really want one of the other characters to fight a heavy hitting magic boss. Never bother with Legendary Armour as physical damage is pretty survivable with whatever the best armour is for each character at any point in the game.

My first team was meru cuz i thought she had pretty high hp while not knowing dragon helm increases that and hazchel bc of his weapons status effect

Playing LoD on the original PS, no rewind features for me, so that farming build is gonna help loads. Curious about the PS5 version; has the translation been updated at all? Are all of the original animations intact (I heard Rose had some edits to her dragoon magic attacks)? I'm replaying through the US version now so I'm familiar for the JP version, since I cannot read JP yet.

I find it funny how many people use the ff9 soundtrack for background noise. Are you be planning to go in-depth with any other series? Cause you do good explaining the things lol

@@tantacles looove lore videos. What series would you be interested in doing?

A great video! Just one think: 26:00 Against Faust it´s not so effective to use Speed Rings, cuz almost all attacks of Faust are magic-counters, so is attack badge or Giganto Ring a better alternative to hit Faust harder or use something to avade or reduce magical attacks.

There was a ring that restores MP every turn

You're the legend friend, love your videos. have bored my girlfriend who's a bit younger than me to death with this old af gem, love your content since the remaster dropped. keep it going please! need to get you into the credits if the game gets remade*

I can't say I agree with much of anything in this video as a long time player tbh but to each their own. The girls never need speed they're fast enough as is. The boys are absolute power houses but, their MDF is awful and Albert/Kongol especially tend to be quite slow. My end game team is usually Dart, Meru, Haschel. I always go after faust so by disc 4 is when I start the biggest grind to max all additions, dlvl and get the legend casque for all 3 party members and the phantom shield for 2/3. I had soul eater on dart plus the therapy ring to counter it and since a majority of end game enemies are heavy magic users I rarely ever bother with the armor of legend. As for faust himself the Dragon Armor is a great alternative since he counters you each time you attack with the element of the character that's attacking. Even with the best armor in game he still hits like a truck and gets multiple turns in a row. The ultimate wargod is a total waste of money so nobody should ever buy them but if you manage to get it from the Ghost Ship chest I highly recommend selling it for the 10k. Until you get the expensive armor though giganto ring is very good for Meru if you use her and dragon helm is a good backup as well. I've heard a lot mention the Rainbow Dress but the issue with it is only the Rainbow Bird drops it and you cannot kill it unless you manage to keep it confused since it can only hurt itself (it's immune to all physical and magical dmg from the party.) A big thing that irks me is everyone saying Shana's name wrong. If you've seen the end of the game you'll hear Dart say it out loud. It's pronounced like Shawn-a. There are also several repeatable/missable items that can really be of use later on.
