They definitely do although one or two fights in seven were underwhelming.

Also because f the party system you effectively have 3 lives on every boss, which will probably matter a lot more on hard/nightmare

fyi you do unlock Toal after just Yunica in Ys Origin and he's extremely fun. I've already fought like 4 new bosses and it seems like he fights all of the great giant bosses. I'm on the sandworm now though and don't know what to do without Yunica's phoenix.

it's fine as yunica since you can hit all of the stars at once, toal has no ranged moves so he has to focus on each on separately and I just learned that not only do the stars heal the boss but new ones pop up if you don't kill the old ones fast enough.

I liked it with Yunica but if Toal doesn't have a projectile idk how I would do it

I did it. The key was that it seems like the healing doesn't really matter all that much, you just need to get him to his vulnerable state when there are 6 stars in the arena. maybe I'm wrong

also a lot of boost mode to kill the stars.

haven't gotten the hang of Toal's fire magic yet, thunder has been my go to for damage so far.

also the mantis was fun with him.

I figured out why my SP is so low.



Those big crystals are worth 500 on hard mode. on nightmare they're only worth 1.

so if you ever play nightmare do not buy the get more sp ability and instead use the sp that you get from chests on something useful. I doubt I'll even be able to upgrade my final armor much less get faster boost and skill charge.

Yeah, that's the lovely thing about Nightmare mode. I had maybe four upgrades total when I beat Nightmare with Hugo, and I think it was with the 'increase SP' ability.

Actually just checked my save and nope, strengthened the eyes of Fact, leveled up my armor, and nothing else.

the bosses in moc were pretty great. the fish boss is solid for a water boss, which are usually underwhelming or awkward in a lot of games and most of the other ones are very good. the stompy horse thing was my first ys boss and it blew my mind with how fun he was.

Ys does water right because your move speed isn't really affected, it's more like Low G mode so they have fun underwater bosses with lots of bigass jumping

there's no Ys on 3DS so I'm making do with this.



the bosses in lbw actually do kind of feel like ys bosses when you only have 3 hearts and don't upgrade your sword/armor/items and never pick up a shield.

Triforce Heroes bosses also feel like Ys bosses, in the games where you have party members, except instead of having good AI, everyone else on your team is programmed to walk into every attack and your health is shared so you continually fail all the bosses through no fault of your own :grin:

sounds epic, that's definitely on my list for February.

The final boss of LBW is incredibly hard when you die in 1 hit and have to hit it 64 times to move it in to phase 2. Then in phase 2 you play tennis and if your timing is off the ball smacks right in to your face for an instakill.
