This is, without question, one of the _BEST_ boss fights I've fought in any RPG. The way it utilizes all 8 characters completely blows the first game out of the water, and it leads to one of the most unique fights I've done in a very long time.
@@JuicyLeek I see it as this game's "super form" in a sense. All 8 characters coming in with their best weapons, spells and gear as they take on their final obstacle together. As much as we would've all loved this mechanic throughout the story, I feel like this momemt right here was the perfect time to execute it. Using everything you've learned against this last threat. It's poetic if you ask me.
@@JuicyLeek LMAO and the fact that it took till the end to switch them out with the menu is so stupid. I hate going to the tavern every time I want to switch party members.
I love the details.When the characters are saying their farewells, each pair will nod to each other: Paritio/Osvald, Temenos/Throné, Ochette/Castti and Agnea/Hikari.
I might have to do that. I sent my "ringer" squad of level 76 Partitio, Agnea, and Hikari with level 52 Ochette. I didn't realize all 8 would be involved, so my other 4 are 67 Casti and 50 and under everybody else. I had a merchant in both groups (Temenos) but my second group got hit too hard to use that skill.
Transition at 7:30 - "The final battle begins" - 8:25 - "Even the Dawn will be mine". Goosbumps. I don't think I got that particular line out of Throne, but she said "I'll fight a god if I must" a couple of times. Oh, Throne..
Spoiler warning… but you’re in this final boss video sooo…. There were a few times the voice acting in this game just pushed me over the edge. Like when Osvald is standing outside of his house in the very beginning and the pain in his scream. Or during Castti and Ochette’s last crossed paths part, and Castti is running through the dark woods and she heard voices, the woman screaming “I WANT MY HUSBAND BACK!” The voice acting in this game is just unreal.
This is how you do a final boss fight in a jrpg. I've played so many games where you just focus on your immediate party members and neglect the rest. Not in this fight. And let's not forget the amazing music!
I nearly died at the end. I felt underleveled when fighting both phases, but thanks to Castti’s Apothecary skills, I was packed with BP and HP. And though I didn’t fully complete the game, finishing it felt so rewarding. This game is my all time favorite
Dang I just beat this game last week. The final boss fight and ending was awesome. This is game of the year for me. I also noticed at the end, Agnea looks almost exactly like her mother now.
This is such a cool boss. I went into it unspoiled with a level 46 team and a lvl 73 team. Worked surprisingly well despite the level and equipment difference
Oooh interesting so it seems like the campfire scene is different depending on the order you recruit the travelers. The last traveler you recruit leaves the campfire first, and the protagonist leaves last.
Wait, I didn't notice (except for the protagonist one). It felt so natural since they went away in this order: Agnea, Partitio, Hikari, Osvald, Temenos, Throné, Ochette and Castti. Temenos looked at Throné and said "There is something I'd like to say, but I think I'll keep it until we meet again" and Throné nodded at him. I ship them so hard and I thought the game knew everyone would ship them together and was throwing a bone at us.
Exactly the same as Live a Live. Astounding they kept the same spirit nearly 30 years on. Makes sense; that's how connected each of them is to the group.
@@ignorantfoolartur9242 it sure is. Unless you got to the point to beat this game’s super boss, this will probably still be challenging when you face her
@@ignorantfoolartur9242 Galdera was designed to be a post-game superboss, despite having the makings of a final boss to conclude the story. Vide is a proper final boss that links every story together in a satisfying manner, which allows Galdera to fulfill the superboss role he was made for.
The vocalist for this boss theme reminds me of the vocalist for God Shattering Star from Fire Emblem Three Houses. I may have to go through the credits to be sure
I definitely should have waited until I was level 60 and found all the classes and ultimate weapons before starting the final chapter, I had no idea the game would throw this hard of a brick wall my way. (I had a few near or over lvl 50 characters but most were around mid thirties to early 40s)
I just finished the game yesterday, I'm absolutely loosing my mind and screaming when all 8 characters showed up for the fight. Every other turn based RPG can go home, this is Game of the Year for me for sure
Finished the game yesterday. Got to the second phase of Vide's second form. Everyone dead expect for Throné (who happens to be my main) with 200 hp. I was pretty sure I was gonna lose, but I was able to break Vide. Totally surprised by the fact I could revive again and luckily still had the grail of life. Got my entire team back and beat Vide soon after!😁
YOU CAN REVIVE AFTER YOU BREAK HIM?! Okay that totally surprised me. I had Hikari, Partitio, Agnea and Throné on a team and Temenos, Castti, Ochette and Osvaldo in the other. Team 2 died almost completely (save for Temenos) And I was Afraid I couldn't cure anyone once he'd die too (I had Throné as cleric but she healed way less than him) I basically lost Castti in turn 2 of the big battle (and I saved like 50 pomegranate leaf so I was kinda disappointed). Knowing now that I can revive them I kinda wanna fight Wiede again
@@giuseppevisconti3284 yes its easy to miss but when you break vide it says something about the darkness lifting temporarily, I figured that was my cue to revive my downed characters
When I got resurrect-locked I was so scared. I didn't know what to do, all I had was my Ochette with 3 bp and 200 hp, everyone else was dead. So I just threw 6x chubby cait which happened to clutch my whole boss fight by rezzing everyone and giving me shields and such and I ended up winning.
Yeah, I felt that too. Felt like Partitio and Castii were really powerful this time around. I think in Octopath Traveler 1, Tressa and Olberic was super powerful.
Just beat this last night with all the characters at level 70 and spent a whopping 300,000 leaves on Hired Help throughout the fight. Worth it. Such a great final story fight.
Idk something about it just seemed limited. needed such a specific strat very limited amount of paths to defeat the boss. Hired help, certain beasts, advanced magic, etc etc. it just didn’t feel like you could go into the fight and wing it or use raw power. Still pretty fun and that game was amazing. but I think I preferred the final boss in Octopath 1 more
I avoided spoilers. I had no idea there was an "all eight together" story until I got there. And when I got to the boss...I was unprepared. I thought I could use my level 76 Partitio, Agnea, and Hikari and level 52 Ochette to breeze through. Then they got pushed aside, and in came level 67 Casti, and at/around/below level 50 Osvald, Throne, and Temenos. I got DESTROYED. I either have to reconfigure teams, or grind my bottom five up to the 70s.
No, I beat the boss with a lvl 55~ on average team, you need to elaborate a strategy and prepare yourself accordingly. Grab accessories (the best I got was the accessory in the infernal castle in the snow area) and build strategy around your team. For this phase, the easiest thing I've found is to Sealtige's Grace on Temenos and Heal beyond the HP Cap. Don't forget to give equipments to boost his elemental defense
@Powa I tried again splitting my team a different way and I rolled through stage 1 and 2. For stage 3, my entire team got wiped three times before healing multiples became impossible. I leveled my under 60s to above 60s. Couldn't get past stage 1. I can't find a way. If I concentrate on offense I get wiped, and if I concentrate on defense I get wiped harder and faster.
@Powa I took a day off and gave it another go. This time, I blew through stage one. Stage two was a little tougher. Three was brutal, but I beat it (with Osvald and Ochette KO'd). I mostly used merchant Hired Help, and Soul Stones.
Big tip they saved my ass is Agnea using the Archanist class. You use latent power + reflexive shield. Your second phase team becomes nearly untouchable and deals damage straight back.
Honestly I found the first phase to be harder than the 2nd one. I couldn't imagine beating it without using "Prayer to the Flame" element defense+phys defense buff on the whole party
If you know about the Provoke Beasts Glitch, it becomes much easier. 1) Fully boost your character 2) Select Provoke Beasts 3) Use latent power, then cancel it 4) Use Provoke (You should be able to use 6 monsters as Provoke Beasts uses the same functions as the normal provoke so it overrides the initial command) 5) You can repeatedly use 10* monsters without restriction and the 1 time usage does not apply meaning that you can use the Battle Worn Shark to fully cap your BP every turn Ochette is active endlessly. Battle Worn Shark's ability heals HP/SP and grants 1 BP when used. And Provoke beasts when fully charged gives you 6 summons at once, so you can lay down 3 Sharks and then 3 Chubby Caits to not only fill your BP, but also heal and buff at the same time too.
fun fact for this battle i removed all my B team's items so they had nothing on so my A team could battle this boss with the best stuff.....then he switched my team and i got my ass handed to me.
@@VileOkami you can just break him, which can be done consistently quickly with a balanced team. The part that gave me a lot of trouble was the second half of the first phase. Those fucking arms...
@@VileOkami at least this fight is generally balanced, unlike Galdera's. People praise it for the difficulty, but I think it's just poorly designed and unfair in some aspects.
The song for this fight was soo good! this boss was tough but not on the level of galdera in the first game imo but the new mechanic of being able to use all 8 travelers made it very interesting and makes you think of the best possible way of break vide and its arms or to revive your party, awsome final boss. Just found out you can fight galdera too, this sequel does everything the first game did but more and better, even thou the first game’s great too.
I beat Vide a few days ago and man I was wishing that my starter (Hikari) landed the finishing strike, but Agnea did it ; ; But reading "The final battle begins..." AND "You can use the 8 travelers for this fight" What it is? AN AMAZING FINAL BOSS.
I mean, it kinda makes sense. If I'm not mistaken, in OT 1 it was a woman who summoned Galdera, and here, Vide was summoned by Oboro. So it's almost like their summoners are singing for their gods. Also, Vide's final form looks like a man to me tbh
Didn't know the third phase of the boss has sprite change at 50% health... The boss just died in a single break, and i didn't get to see the change lol
I finally beat this boss after attempting 3-4 other times. The key is to use abilities to lower all shields, such as Ochettes special ability, beastly hired help ability of merchant, Agneas kick, and of course hitting him with weaknesses. On the 2nd form, make sure to heal often. Try to defeat both arms at the same time so you can switch to other team while the other one sits out on curses. Try not to freak out with no revive curse. I noticed it does go away after while. Just keep focusing on healing and bringing down shield points!!
What level did you fight it at? I just beat him after a bunch of tries with temenos at 71 and everyone else ranging from 55 to 60. I found the second half of the first part specifically to be very challenging, though my party was kinda unoptimized in some aspects and I was too lazy to get grinding
@@rjante2236 Yeah that checks out... but still, maybe the final boss should scale on difficulty depending on the level of your party. Heck, I think they should implement that for most bosses in the game
@@system_ai9248 Tbh I kind of figured I overprepared due to a certain secret boss rearing its ugly head. That being said, scaling the boss to your party level would have been cool. Ah well, it can't be helped.
Sooooo, my muscle memory kicked in after beginning the final mission, and I saved over my actual save 💀 So now I'm left here grinding with no music, because I'm extremely under-leveled. I still think the game is incredible. I'm just a bit stupid is all.
Finished game yesterday and while sad its over I really loved is as someone who out off rpg for a long awhile( hakari and paritio died near end of the fight but love fight tho)
Well I reactivated all flames and actually I'm ready to face the last boss. But no! I think I'll watch the end on RU-vid. I'm not that smart for preparing my allies with the right buffs at the right time and preparing the best moments for strong attacks. I'm more like a slayer. I attack with the weapons and with magic, using the boosts and heal my allies if neccessary, that's it. But it seems like it won't work here. And when I attack with Hikari's double sword slash attack (don't know the english name) with maximum boost, each attack may cause a damage of about 13.000 HP. When I see attacks with a damage of about 50.000 then I'm doing something wrong.
Vide is the Final boss and Galdera is an Optional Superboss. As for why there are two dark gods i dont really have an answer for you. Maybe this game plays in an Alternate Universe, An Alternate timeline or maybe the Writing is just inconsistent.
Vide and Orsa (Galdera's mother) may have come from "nothingness". While Orsa created a land of her own and had children (OT1 & CotC), Vide might have remained in their dimension until summoned
seeing this, it makes me really glad i dropped octopath 1 halfway through, and never gave the second one a chance. the music is great but everything else is just awful
This boss is too easy, I didn't really go leveling. Kill him at level like 62 without set my formation, skill and he death. Only the hidden boss is challenging.
Bewildering grace 100x exp on Osvald Chapter 4 Grieving Golem Boss ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-476ayp6HNs0.html Got lucky and got the 100x exp on another boss before grieving golem
@gamerprince1999 I think people were expecting Galdera 2, but Vide was balanced around being the end of the story and not the gatekeeper of skill. _Of course Galdera is back and on steroids so if they want a challenge they can get one._
To be honest didn’t know full mechanics of the game. Spent like 40-50 hours to get here, 10 days after release. Didn’t know how to use cassti at the time. 🥲
... how the hell am I supposed to beat this? Hats off to you but I call bullshit on the developers. Glad I played for the awesome stories (except Agnea. Agnea sucks so bad) but no regrets I gave up on phase one of this. NON-SENSICAL.
@@johnyjohny7472 I am happy you liked them but I couldn't, I eventually started skipping dialogues. And Agnea also has the hardest character final boss.
Agnea sucks. Everyone has an actual story with an arc and problems and she’s like „I wanna be a famous dancer.“ Just beat this boss btw. In minutes. Just spammed the Assassins, wasted pretty much a million leafes, yet they annihilated him. Not my party mind you, none of those characters I spent 95 hours developing, no, just a bunch of hired thieves. Pathetic.
@@sebastianalhares Agnea was a sigh of relief with everyone in the party having suffered in some way shape or form, with some being more wholesome than others (partitio), whereas watching Throne was just depressing period. I mean Tressa filled Agnea's role in the first game, albeit the first game wasn't nearly as good as the second
Cheapest battle in RPG history. I don't like giving up on games, but I'm thinking about it with this one, because I don't want to grind levels for another 5 hours.
Great game but they made it way too hard. To the point that only specific strategies done perfectly correct can win, but if not perfect ur dead no matter how strong ur party is. I liked Octopath 1 boss better but was tough but could be done with just raw power
I can't say I agree. My team makeup for this fight for both characters per quartet and their subclasses was completely different from the makeup in this video and I managed. It wasn't a walk in the park but it felt like a fair challenge.
This is terrible, major points against the game for this fight. For the "hidden" boss of the first game making it a hard challenge made sense but here it feels impossible unless you did everything in the game(I did everything except a couple of dungeons), at the length of this game that's ridiculous ask of the player. Sit there for an hour, die and repeat a couple of times and I'm just gonna give up. Ridiculous
Lost on it so I'm just going to watch the ending. Not doing another 30 minute battle when it can just fuck over my characters with consecutive attacks if it feels like it and I can't revive.
yea, same here, I liked the game up until this boss, not sure why bosses like these are a thing where a single bad turn can make you lose 20+mins of progress
@@kek651 I got super unlucky figuring out the weaknesses of the second round of hands and it just starting focusing my strongest characters to death. After 90 hours I was ready to be done with the game.
The cleric's prayer to the flame buff with agnea's latent power really allowed my party (all 8 members) to survive all of its attacks. only Throne ended up dying near the end for me. tbh i found the first phase was waaaay harder for me.
