Shining Force II - LV99 Hero VS Every Boss (Secret Post-Ending Fight), Solo 

🤣🤣🤣

It's also used when you travel between grans and paramecia. Over by geshp and cameela is where you find the golem.

aka most common antagonist of each and every anime

Geshp can be tricky with Freeze Lvl 4 too.

Actually all spell casters are dangerous since they deal fixed damage rather than attack-defense damage. I was surprised to see that drac chose to attack cameela instead of oddeye. Oddeye is a threat, Cameela really isn't. Now the question is can it be done without healing rain...

@@eriks2962 Peter and the Pegasus Knights are not only the best units for speed runs but also minimum level no Healing Rain vs. spell-casters due to having higher base HP than other classes, they can tank spells and snipe heavy hitters using the Valkyrie attack buffs. I would probably want a few Paladins and Gladiators (especially against high attack units) as well to use as bait.

@@eben3357 Ah! good to know. I have never played the game for speedrunning. I used to do constrained runs though. My favorite constrained runs are: -no merchants -no spellcasters (except bowie) -only spellcasters Haven't done a run like that in about 20 years though. Good stuff. I should pick SF2 again

@@eriks2962 A great play through on Super difficulty is using a smaller force once you obtain the caravan. I promoted Peter at lv. 30 since he has land effect unpromoted and huge attack he can wait. My team consisted of overpowered Bowie, Sarah, Jaha, Kazin, Peter, Gerhalt and Randolf. No repeat battles and a complete cakewalk. The reduced units earns more exp and means the battles much easier. Use a big Jaha on 30% land efect tiles to lure out enemies. As far as speed-runs go, it's all about Peter and the PGNTs. Healers don't even get used, maybe Frayja but I am not sure. The strategy is to snipe bosses with an attack boosted Peter and keep a low level Bowie alive.

Sad but true

Even better if you go all the way to level 40 (which is the unpromoted cap)

@@QuikTeam never been waited so much ^^

Thanks for the comment! Protect Ring trick and lot of TV shows binge-watching made this not so bad.

@@DracMazoku You should be using the Fairy Woods bonus stage. You can easily level up ranged fighters there and also melee units once they reach a sufficient level to only take 1 damage and kill the enemy (Lesser Demon) in one shot. If you place a brick on the 'C' button so the game automatically cycles, then the character will attack without you needing to manually press buttons.

Fairy woods is too easy. No one can hurt any of my team. Only getting one point each kill because Bowie is level 55, and the rest of the team is over 35. No challenge other than time as none of the Monsters can hurt any of my guys at that level. I'm redoing the Zeon fight over and over, and zapping out just before I kill him. The Monsters there, while only worth 1 point, are at least a challenge. Trying to get the rest of the team up to 40 using the Protect Ring thing. The girls/Master Monks are easy to level as they get points for healing and a couple have natural Boost.

That's the thing. I wish I could have done it without using any healing, like in Shining Force 1, but there's just so much randomness in play. If the enemies decide to just attack you, the fight become a joke. BUT with SOOOO many enemies that can cast spells, ignoring your defense, if they decide to just abuse it, then you're pretty much dead without any source of healing. And then there's the Red Baron, which is just a gamble capable of ending your run if Desoul works on you. It took me SOOOOO long to finally get a run where the Red Baron didnt kill me, and I didnt got destroyed by a barrage of spells, so I swallowed my pride and accepted that I used healing items. Even though that last one was useless, but I couldnt be sure if Zeon would use his breath 2 turns in a row, ending my run...

@@DracMazoku yeah i did end up abusing save states on the fight before zeon due to all the magic casters hitting hard so i could save all my healing items for zeon but come to find out i didnt need any. That fight is what worries me about using just 4 members with all the magic hitting hard in that room

Protect Ring trick until you reach it :) . Still takes many hours.

​@@DracMazoku how much experience does that give? Is it 5xp for each unit affected like boost?

You know what, thats a very good question. I dont know?

If I remember correctly you will leave the fight and end on the start screen again. So to get back you would need to do the fight against Zeon again.

My MC was lv40 before promotion (which is the cap before promotion, you cant get to 99 there). I have the most level up possible.

Its indeed a bonus fights you get for waiting a few minutes after the credits end.

@@DracMazoku nice!! Any rewards after completion?

@@psychokinesis878 nope, its just for the satisfaction of it. It was already a cool bonus way back then 😀

​@@psychokinesis878 I'm late to this But if you check the map it's in the shape of sonic

Hard to tell, since past 99, they only show ??. But I was reseting a lot, so I guess they must be near 200 (which is the cap from what I've read). It took a few hours of grinding using the Protect Ring trick.

@@DracMazoku what is protect ring trock?

Trick

@@orza6882 Once you get the Protect Ring, enter a random fight, use it on your party and you should get a good amount of XP, then on your next turn, use egress with the hero, repair the ring if it has a crack, and rinse and repeat the whole process.

@@DracMazoku thanks

I just love soloing stuff in SRPG with god character. You can thanks Disgaea for that!

I think you can setup two ranged attack and peter in the back so that zeon can only hit one at a time. Two demon breath on archers/bolt3 mages are likely to kill them, but two on peter likely won't kill him. That's a lot of "free" hits on the boss. After that, he is kind of free since you can gang up on him.

It's been a while, but I can guess that I was thinking that it would prevent Oddeye from advancing if I was at a safe distance, since Odd-eye beam ignore defense so I was trying to stay away until Cameela was dead...it failed it seems 🤣

@@DracMazoku I thought so too, but since you had healing with and Zalbard could also double cast on you, it might have been to cautious. But it is easy to say afterwards.

@@justTyping Indeed, just to say, I remember it took me hours to finally have a playthrough of this battle where I wasnt just spammed with spells everywhere, without the Red Barron 1-hit KOing me with his death spell, so I will take those small imperfections 🤣. I also wanted to do a no healing run like I did with Shining Force 1, but unfortunately I just couldnt. Too many spell-casters ignoring my defense and that all get 2 turns. It might be possible, but its all down to RNG, not actual strategy. Maybe one day I'll revisit it, but not for a loooong while.

@@DracMazoku I dont think no heal is really possible. Odd-Eye, King Galam and Zeon would need to attack normal instead of there special attack. They hardly do it. You need 4 hits to kill Zeon. He alone need only 5 or 6 breath attack to kill you and he gets 6 attacks. Galam needs 3 Hits too. so Galam has 4 Attacks on you. Also no block on enemy side especially on Zeon and Galam. Would really by an RNG wonder if you do so.

Use Protect Ring on a bunch of people, cast Egress, reenter random battle, rinse and repeat 😀

@@DracMazoku Damn! Thanks so much. i’m replaying the game and it gives such good memories

How do you get the ring?

@@craigsands2567 From memory, I think you get it somewhere in a battle on your way to Creed's Mansion. I may be wrong, but thats what I remember.

How what ?

@@DracMazoku to get to lvl 99

@@brandontucker2989 protect ring trick. Use the item on yourself and a bunch of others characters, then egress. If the ring gets a crack fix it, then get out of town to enter another random battle. Rinse and repeat until max level.

Protect Ring trick. Use ring on party, egress, rinse and repeat.

@@DracMazoku and in wich fight do you this ?

Dont remember the name, the town near where you get the caravan (near a big desert). Theres a random fight that can trigger as soon as you exit the town.

@@DracMazoku oh, iknow wich is, thanks!!

Why not use a protect ring? Speed up the process

Sealed? You don’t intend to play it?

How much do you sell Shining Force II?
