I always thought Gisshan was a Dragon that gave up his power and Scylla and Charybdis were his children. That's why he knew about the tower and that's why they were hiding in the Volcano. The Energy from the Dead dragons masked theirs.
Though this video may only be just about 18 years old as of the time I'm writing this comment, I'm so glad I'm not the only person who actively uses Peco in the party
I wish they woulda explained this better. Why is an old man in here randomly with epic dragon/wyrm things anyway? Then when you get to the town all they say is "oh yah did you run into the old man? he's crazy eh?" It's lame for such an epic confrontation heh.
Did you know that the name of those two serpents are actually the names of Poseidon's minions that Odysseus has to face in Homer's epic, The Odyssey??? Greek literature, anyone???
Ahhh, Donden, one of the best BGMs in this game ^^ Still, I wonder if the old man is one of the Brood...the game never really explains it...and if he is, why doesn't he transform? o_O
Peco is imense, hes my fav character after ryu of course, i got peco to level 61 and boy was he a good fighter, give him the right skills and he is the business, as good as ryu in ordinary form
I just put Peco as point in a defensive formation and he will counter everyone to death. Peco trains with Fahl from level 1. Those were good old times.
Aye, that it does. There are a couple of possibilities on its intended plot, though. The best 2 guesses I've heard were that Gisshan was a brood whom gave up his power. It would explain the old, drooling aspect of him. If it required Garr, that would be my guess. But it doesn't need him, so another thought that I've had is that he may be an old guardian. The coding may be wrong on the worms (they're noted as Dragons), and It's possible that he was using two dragon-like worms to try to kill Ryu.
I believe the old man here is an elder or an undead from the dragon war someone resummons him to confront you here, there must have been another town doing the dragon war at least that seems to be the case. It could be a dragon who gave up his power and died but was revived by a certain god.
yeah,but sometimes i can tell when a boss' comin' up because there's almost always a save point and/or the road becomes strange and uncommon than other areas o.O
lol, you decided to make it more difficult on yourself or something? all you need is 2 magma armors (wake up the volcano monsters) and the ring of fire found there... get those and the fight is pretty much a joke. Also I jokingly leveled peco to level 30-ish around there with the lavamen (fahl as teacher nonstop). It was funny as hell seeing those monsters hit him for 10dmg only to have him regenerate 21 per round :D
Btw you should look to get rid of Gisshan first. W/o him you avoid annoying status spells + healing ALSO the dragons start doing stupid things without him (defending, watch enemy which essentially does nothing and will hardly use wall of fire or attack).
Nina is really good in this fight. Overall, she is really good in all the game, even tho a lot of people underestimate her. Excellent for rushing through mobs, highest AP in the game, really good speed, double turns, and with the right skills she can be the best enhancer and even healer in the game.
Nina can literally just heal the whole party by just using Vitamins to each one because of her enormous speed. Just don't make her lose her speed because her speed is her trump card.
i use ryu, garr and nina...ryu of course with transformation...garr using fire attack... and nina using magic ice...i recomend my strategy is more power full in comparation with this video...man use magic ice ok ?
@liihagtuyr Yah I remember I was like 'what the hell?! I just wanna get outta here, not fight some epic wyrm things that came outta no where with some old drooling guy with epic music =/ '
THis fight is not that hard if you grind for the magma armor for Ryu, equip the ring of fire on Nina in my main team to lower stats and asbestos armor with a flame shot on Momo and learn wall of fire, lower all there stats with Nina will give everyone extra attacks easy fight.
Spoiler alert? Please tell me wth this old guy in the cave with such power creatures is in relation to?!? Played this game a decade ago and I still don't understand this reference, it's extremely out of place!

Nice.
Peco's real good.
I wish they woulda explained this better. Why is an old man in here randomly with epic dragon/wyrm things anyway? Then when you get to the town all they say is "oh yah did you run into the old man? he's crazy eh?" It's lame for such an epic confrontation heh.
This is without a doubt the toughest fight as a child. The music and atmosphere is great for this fight though.
Did you know that the name of those two serpents are actually the names of Poseidon's minions that Odysseus has to face in Homer's epic, The Odyssey???
Greek literature, anyone???
Yeah but it disappointed me that they aren't accurate to their names.
When you hear Donden, you know you'd better be carfeul how you fight.
Charybis and Scylla.
I remember them from reading Odyesseus back in 8th grade. Good times...
Ahhh, Donden, one of the best BGMs in this game ^^
Still, I wonder if the old man is one of the Brood...the game never really explains it...and if he is, why doesn't he transform? o_O
I love this boss-tune! I also remember I ended the fight, at the end of my wits, with a melee attack from Nina. XD
Peco is imense, hes my fav character after ryu of course, i got peco to level 61 and boy was he a good fighter, give him the right skills and he is the business, as good as ryu in ordinary form
Peco is a beast if trained properly. He starts at level 1 so he can learn the most skills, he auto-regenerates HP, and LOOK AT THOSE STAT GAINS.
I just put Peco as point in a defensive formation and he will counter everyone to death. Peco trains with Fahl from level 1. Those were good old times.
I only use Peco to get some Meryleep and Deis' skills faster.
I still own this game but haven't played in a few years. Good clip though, I liked this game.
Aye, that it does.

I have an easy solution for all. Ryu: Accesion - Behemoth. Then blitz repeatedly.
i lol because nina and ryu are like YAY we did it and peco is like:umm can we move on it hot in here
yeah,but sometimes i can tell when a boss' comin' up because there's almost always a save point and/or the road becomes strange and uncommon than other areas o.O
Why came this old man in the vulcan?
Where is he?o.O
A long time ago,i don´t know where he is.
Years later..i don´t know.xD
lol, you decided to make it more difficult on yourself or something? all you need is 2 magma armors (wake up the volcano monsters) and the ring of fire found there... get those and the fight is pretty much a joke.

The ring of fire is also lovely.
I remember having major problems with it as well.
where can you get the frost gene please tell me where?
I just didn't want to make this boss look too easy. :P
Definitely one of the hardest fights as child Ryu but with Gisshan out of the way, the battle becomes a whole lot easier >_>
I thought you are supposed to die in this boss,fail,and it was a very very hard boss,unexpected,and intimidating
man this is a long fight
is just me or the dragon form is too overpowered
Well, in some cases you really need it, and it fits the story narrative of the Dragons having overwhelming power.
This boss wasnt so bad...it was the 40 or 50 steps AFTER the boss, to the exit, that was dangerous.
Btw you should look to get rid of Gisshan first. W/o him you avoid annoying status spells + healing ALSO the dragons start doing stupid things without him (defending, watch enemy which essentially does nothing and will hardly use wall of fire or attack).
Nina is really good in this fight.
Overall, she is really good in all the game, even tho a lot of people underestimate her.

Nina dan learn healing spel..

And with that spell.. Nina become wizard & Priest at the same time
when ur doing off camera training cyril

I fought with these fools...I did'nt know that i had to fight them so...I almosty lost the battle.
it never did mention that, did it. XD
i remember i was stuck on it until i found out that i had dragons -.-
i use ryu, garr and nina...ryu of course with transformation...garr using fire attack... and nina using magic ice...i recomend my strategy is more power full in comparation with this video...man use magic ice ok ?
Ice blast and wisdom fruits
they just power
Peco is the most powerful Character
7DriDri7 just like ershin *clear throat* useless
im stuck on this fite but i got like no skills on my ppl and ryu is lvl 20 every1 else is lvl 14-16 im 2 lazy lol
Classic fight. Probably the hardest one during the child saga. (Miracle would have owned this boss)
I love this game but PECO? against fire attacks no way
@liihagtuyr Yah I remember I was like 'what the hell?! I just wanna get outta here, not fight some epic wyrm things that came outta no where with some old drooling guy with epic music =/ '
I quit this game cause of this battle. I never could beat it.
wow I need to get that combo hit
you can learn skills from enemies
Wall of fire?
download an emulator and play it on your computer
I never used peco, i saved him for deis
Like Cyril86 did.
Err... isn't Peco weak against Fire? Why didn't you use Garr?
For Peco being a plant doesn't mean that you are weak to fire
this boss is 1 anoyying 1 for me
breath of fire 3 for playstation 1
this fight took too long. I take them all out in about 3 min, bein' around level 20 mind you.
well i finish the game using aura with focus y to power full but without shadowwalk don´t matter anyway i finish the game finally
THis fight is not that hard if you grind for the magma armor for Ryu, equip the ring of fire on Nina in my main team to lower stats and asbestos armor with a flame shot on Momo and learn wall of fire, lower all there stats with Nina will give everyone extra attacks easy fight.
Saved yourself frustration from the Zombie Dragon at least heh, a infinately more annoying and difficult boss.
@WhyWomenAreStupid Also bc the oldman can heal him and Charyb & Scylla :p so AoE would help more
go peco, he got last kill yay!!
Still...Gisshan's profile still mystery,but I though he took resemblance to ***Spoiler Alert***Patriach Griol.
Spoiler alert? Please tell me wth this old guy in the cave with such power creatures is in relation to?!? Played this game a decade ago and I still don't understand this reference, it's extremely out of place!
Off me. Hehe :)
i use ryu, garr and nina...ryu of course with transformation...garr using fire attack... and nina using magic ice...i recomend my strategy is more power full in comparation with this video...man use magic ice ok ?
