This would have gone a lot faster if he would have attacked Maxim and Guy more lol.
This was recorded on a real SNES with a real cartridge. It looks different because I'm using a RetroTink 2x Classic for upscaling and I had the smoothing turned on (shut up I like it!) This took a lot of grinding, no exploits of any kind. I had a lot of statues because I am extremely wealthy from fighting bees (also the reason my Foomy is a fox now).

I remember this back then on the snes me with a bag of sour doritos bag and playing this game. This game was hard to beat with my kid mind but so good. The game holds a special place in my heart.

@Soloong_Gaybowzer Год назад

Gades' sword is one of the strongest swords in the game and it's a special reward for defeating Gades the first time around.

@wildwest1832 8 месяцев назад

the best thing about the fight is no matter how long it takes the music makes it fun to do

@sirmaffew 2 месяца назад

What's super helpful in this fight is to use the Speedy RIng's IP 'Fake" to raise Tia and Selan's agility higher than Gades so you get a couple of healing options at the start of the round instead of Gades attacking first and having no control. Makes it much easier to plan each round after that.

@balbarith45 Год назад

Best way to grind up to where you'll be strong enough to face Gades. There is a monster you'll run into that's shaped like a cube with sphere core. These monsters love to run away in battle. If you can successfully kill them, they give out a large amount of exp.

@warrenorbe7329 8 месяцев назад

True, but they have great evasion and they are easy to run away, so just attack them regularly and hoping that it is critical damage or do sparks

@balbarith45 8 месяцев назад

@@warrenorbe7329 yes indeed. Spark magic does pretty well against them. So long as they don't all run off, leaving your party staring at an empty field off in the distance.

@PiEiNtHeFaCe22 Год назад

Lvl 43 I didn't have to the patience to level to 43. I took him on at lvl 29. Battle took forever, and lots and lots of healing from all 3 while guy focused attacking. With maxim getting a hit in now and then, but I got him down.

@DavidRomigJr 2 месяца назад

I remember posting to a walkthrough on a website long ago, maybe 25 years ago, that the first encounter with Gades could be beaten because it said he was unbeatable. He has a much HP as the third encounter, not the reduced HP of the second encounter, so yeah, it’s tough even in Retry mode. But the Gades’ blade is sweet and can be taken in and out of the Ancient Dungeon.

@digitaladventurer2142 Год назад

Just managed to take him down with my party all in mid 20's (Selan 22). Biggest hurdle was the first couple rounds as still needed him to target Guy or Maxim or get a lucky destructo wave damage roll but after cutting his attack a few times and buffing the party defense I could pretty much survive and heal every round no problem.

In case anyone else ever sees this and wants to replicate, young me had a cheese way to solo Gades with Guy back in the day, without overleveling. Equip the IQ ring to Guy, which allows him to cast Stronger on himself from IP. This heals him fully. With the best defensive gear, he can take 3 hits from Gades before dying, so he can attack twice. Hit Gades with the Gladius' Light element IP attack to hit his elemental weakness. It takes like an hour at least, but Gades *cannot* win if you keep healing, and saves you time compared to overlevelling the entire party like this.

@ChronoSquare Год назад

But... you don't get a Gladius sword before this battle. Maybe you're thinking of the second Gades fight?

@dieuwtjin Год назад

@@ChronoSquare I might be misremembering, it's been many years. But any weapon with a strong rage attack will do. As Gades can only attack Guy with everyone else down, and stronger costs very little rage, you can use it every other turn probably.

@rdvansloten Год назад

Omg yes, I had the same strategy like 23 years ago. I would use the IQ Ring, Hi Potions and alternate the Fire Dagger IP and the Stronger spell. There was also some armor and gear that would allow you to reduce Gades' attack power, defense and speed, so you could sometimes get more hits in and survive up to 3 hits without using healing. The supporting cast would cast as many buffs/debuffs as they could before I would just let them die and let Guy take over. I think the Fire Dagger was the strongest item up to this point (you can get it in the spider cave right before this tower) so it's probably that one.

@dieuwtjin Год назад

@@rdvansloten Probably right :) I remember a fire, ice and light weapon but reading back the Light Weapon was only gotten after gardovan tower. I see you're dutch too?

@rdvansloten Год назад

@ChronoSquare Год назад

No shot you also did the bee rock grind to get Foomy to lv4 and then master form! Ahahaha!

@veghesther3204 Год назад

IMHO foomy sucks I'd rather use FLASH for the entire game BUT that's impossible you can only get Flash well after you beat Gades here OR he kills everyone in under 30 Seconds. I didn't own a SINGLE Statue items the casino to buy them is NOT EVER worth it.

@warrenorbe7329 8 месяцев назад

This is the hardest boss you will encounter. but after you defeat him, everything became less difficult until the end.

@vgcf86 25 дней назад

was curious to see if you would use a zap charm

@veghesther3204 Год назад

Except EVEN UNDER 4x exp the exp in the TOWER itself on the way to Gades SUCK and the cube core enemies still won't give out enough exp to hit lv 40+ WITHOUT the 4x Exp boost but even with 4x Exp I stopped lving at lv 30 and still didn't survive his OPENING Destructo Wave AT all.
