In this video, I'm playing through the Legend of Dragoon with ONLY DART. That's right. No Meru, No Shana, No Haschel, No Rose, No Lavitz, and no Kongol (not that we were going to use him anyway). Will Dart go down in a blaze of glory or will he push through to a fiery end?

When fighting Sandora Elite in Hoax, he splits into three. Attack the sprite with the largest shadow, it is always the real one.
I didn't know that. I always just used an all attack. Only the real one takes damage.
Dart must be thinking, "Damn, you guys are useless, why am I even bringing you along...except Shana, I know why I brought her."
A little thing for all of us who forget to save, use the quick save command before a battle that can potentally kill you, so you can retry as quickly as possibile
I feel like of all the rules, minimal Dragoon usage actually makes the game easier. Especially later in the game when you get Dart's advanced additions. There are a couple characters with OP Dragoons and the rest are very meh. Most of the time it's better to attack with full additions and have the ability to use items.
It's surprising how many games are actually way easier after the start if you solo them because funneling all the xp to one character tends to be stronger than having a full team of on level characters. Well, outside of status.
Just played FF1 Pixel remaster. Got 5k exp and it was divided up amongst all four party members... Killed three of them off lol. My knight leveled a hell of a lot faster after his friends died. Fun times! Lol. Don't usually level that way for the sake of just playing the game and enjoying it instead of grinding but I figured why the fuck not. Don't really like usually the built-in boost for exp and gil since it ruins the game for me.
I remember being extremely frustrated as a kid when my carefully curated list of Pokemon were worse than my brother's strategy of "Blastoise is cool!" Typing really didn't matter if you were 15 levels higher.
@@derekcline950 i was him
Dude I'm having a ton of fun watching these challenge runs. Legend of Dragoon (and Legend of Legaia) were my childhood games. I must have played thru each about 7 times, which is a LOT of gaming for me. I'm not much of a gamer but these games hold a special place in my heart. My big brother, 8 years older than me, would play these, and I'd sneak into our parent's basement to watch him play after bed time. Sadly he died in 2012. These games make me feel so close to him now, even still. The music, the vibes, it all takes me back to those early 2000s nights of watching my big bro crush this game.
bro as good as this video is, the diddykong racing music fucks my head.
I haven't liked a video in years, let alone one from a completely new channel. This was brilliant, commentary was spot on and I'd love to see more.
Well… spoilers… shana is next.
It’s so refreshing to discover a RUclipsr that doesn’t have those “dog whistles”. Loved what you put at 24:13. You earned my subscription hell yeah brother
What’s a RUclips dog whistle and where do I get one?
Wait... What are you referring to? Im curious lol
@@tantacles in general, a "dog whistle" is something you say that's only noticeable to its intended audience and innocuous to people who aren't aware, usually with a negative connotation.
But regardless, I concur. Trans rights are human rights!
Solo character runs are SO much easier in games that let you just keep other party members dead.
This would potentially be interesting to see done with other characters (from the time you get them, or with a mod that gives them to you early or replaces them with Dart in battle). Great video
MMMMM SHANA ONLY RUN. No dragoon of course for extra agony
@@MrDark086 I mean she has good item scaling.
@Blighted Ashes she does however playing by the same rules he used in this run its unlikely hed be able to keep attack items because Shanas incredibly frail and the rule of nobody else being able to do damage
@@MrDark086 not sure but casp beat the game with just items which is an interesting run to watch.
@Blighted Ashes that was a fun run to watch honestly. Items are pretty potent but its a shame the item cap is so low
This is before I watch the vid:
Dart is a pretty strong dude so I believe it
Dart soaking up all the party's precious EXP. 😂
He becomes Dart the super tank. 😮 Dartalicious 😊
8:14 Oh no!! Don't get your Additions to 99!! Just 80 is fine!!
34:01 Fun Fact: YOU HAVE TO kill the 3 Ghost dragons before you fight Zombie Lavitz, or they disappear forever.
I made that mistake in my run.
Also, if you want the Halberd, Albert's ultimate weapon, now, on Endiness before the Moon, SAVE before the
Zombie Lavitz fight, and just keep trying until he drops it. I'm sorry. It's a random drop, and I HATE that it is!
Halberd is meh anyways. Albert works best with the Twister Glaive against Earth enemies and always hits hard. A few extra points isn't worth it IMO.
I didn’t even know the halberd was a random drop
Can't wait to see your lore video! I believe I know most of it but it's always great to get a revamp on it.
Lore videos are my personal fave. Looking forward to it!
Did you know that charm potion infight have the effect that minor enemies can't target this character for 3 rounds? It's the opposite effect of pandemonium and would be very helpful for your next solo run.
Dude the illusion of time music had my brain broken, also great videos keep em up!
I was intently listening to this while playing Rocket League, and then blew an overtime defense, losing the game, because I burst out laughing when you mentioned Shana being down with Coroni lmao.
She should have worn a mask while fighting lenus. 🤷🏼♂️
@@tantacles I don't know... all of the water involved with her fights could easily penetrate a mask. Well, at least we know her/Miranda's Dragoon spirit is not a Coroni cure.
Man, I love this game. From childhood to now. I'd gladly would pay full price for a proper remake!
Great video! I played through this recently and your videos helped a lot! (Also love all the drag race references)
I love doing this challenge with any game I can.
Yo, I did this once.
OHKO mechanics and status effects were the "best" to deal with.
Starting disk 2 at the Valley of Corrupted Gravity, that Virage and its favorite attack would always stop my cousin dead in his tracks while we were tackling this challenge years ago.
Of course, we were dumb kids and Crush Dance was obviously the only addition we could do with our eyes closed so fights were extra tough.
I love this game so much, my only wishes are they made another LoD game and they'd bring back marvel heroes
34:05 funniest joke in the video, you got me on that one. Where is that clip from lmao
Rupaul’s drag race season 10!
Rose is the best step mommy. Entertaining video, I figured it wouldn't be too tough with all the additional XP you get to soak up. I hope you do more of these challenge runs
This game deserves a proper HD remaster with an improved translation.
Love this game alot one of my fav old school rpgs alone with xenosaga sucked at it as a kid but beat it twice now as an adult once on ps2 2nd on ps4 lol
from what i remember i thought u could select ur part on a few attacks
I wonderful video, as always! Parts of this run seem incredibly tedious. Hats off to you!
But ya know, the Magic Stone of Signet gets me thinking. It's rather similar to the Signet Sphere in name. 🤔
It's actually EASIER to beat the game with only Dart.
1) EXP is DIVIDED among party members. Ex: I did a Lavitz/Albert-Only run, and he was level 50 by the Moon.
2) With protection from Instant Death, the Talisman, the ONLY way Dart can be 'killed' instantly is by Melbu's
2nd form, OR the Windigo's Chest Cage that traps one party member.
Thank you for doing this challenge run, it was a fun video to watch 🙂
I did a run of the hard mod a few years ago that was really enjoyable. You may want to look in to that/ upload a playthrough?
This reminds me of the challenge run I started sometime ago. That being a no BUYING run (I do make 2 exceptions though, because I dont like leaving these things for later: Spirits and the Gold DS). That run is currently in the Giganto home. Atm, the only healing items I have are 3 Angel Prayers. Big yikes. I do not look forward to the Lenus fight one bit.
Defend also makes you immune to status effects.
This was a very well done video! Very well edited, funny script, funny/entertaining moments and just overall an enjoyable video! I have never seen any of your content before and youtube introduced me to you via this video, which is 40 minutes long.... I don't watch 40 minute long videos from youtubers I watch on a regular basis lol Definitely going to sub after this and I'm excited to see what else you got going on! GG
Thank you!
Just use the legendary helm and armor and everything becomes easy
What are you talkin about "at this point"? When you fight Drake the bandit, you have to have Rose in your party because Shana's no longer there. LOL
I realized after I recorded the VO but it was TOO LATE! 🫠🫠
"Lloyd tickles Lavitze with his pickle". Dude... you just did Lavitze so dirty with that, lol
Looking forward to replaying this old gem. After watching your videos i got a lot more knowledge about the game. I didn't even know that offensive items scaled with magic or how good the speed stats is
Speed boosting items on Kongol and Haschel broken
"Nugget bridge" as you call it is such a good grinding spot, you can get all the way to the elite and then run away before the battle and all the soldiers repopulate
Lloyd's, Lenus', and Kongols voices are amazing ❤
i remember playing this game in the early 2000's as a kid, the music is the most nostalgic part :D
Great use of chrono trigger music
Dang. I think the Emulator Mod, Dragoon Modifier, gives you a way to Duo/Solo as characters. I haven't tried that setting myself so I'm unsure how it works.. Good job tho!
Very interesting play through maybe you should use the dragoon modifier so that you can not worry about having the other 2 party members die. Also, on the dragoon modifier you can make it so the solo character doesn't over level by being a solo party.
Shana, Meru and Kongol solo are the most challenging and as well fun playtrough. Just use next time charm potion right for less annoying waiting until the other party members dies.
You could do Shana until you get Meru and make a separate savepoint for a later Meru and of course Kongol run.
Rose is almost like Dart
Haschel do everything better than Dart
And after Kongol Albert is less challenging and rather boring.
Once day you should try out the Japanese (hardmode) version of the game it's itself a challenge. Almost everything is easier in US and EU Version.
Shana and Meru get good if you baby them due to their Dragoon magic, magic defense, and speed. They're not good when it comes to fighting trash mobs.
Kongol is always bad, especially at his join time when bosses start magic spamming and he doesn't get defensive spells to migitate that weakness, unlike Albert.
Hilariously enough, Meru's solo run shows that she's actually got it very easy
With magic items yes. I don´t use the magic items at all in US/EU version cuz they to OP in compare to the JP version. Only normal and dragoon attacks is my way to play.
Enjoyed the vid, friend. I have been recently replaying it and streaming on Twitch and its been a real treat. Its a good thing they made Dart so well-rounded! I noticed that some other comments mentioned modifiers and so I think it might be worth looking into. I want to check out the JP version for comparison. I also wonder how the heck a Shana-only run would go, lol.
On my stream last week I fought Lenus 1 with Meru and Kongol. I lowkey forgot you fight her there but... I tried anyway. Came down to the wire and Kongol pulled through! I never really uses him before but it turns out you can buy his Dragoon spirit in Lohan right after he joins the party if you backtrack a bit. I had no idea until someone in chat pointed it out to me. Anyways I enjoyed the video, and I think in the future I would be interested in doing some sort of challenge run myself.
DO IT!
Love to see my childhood game getting some love
Awesome watch!!!
nice job!
No addition run would have been epic. But that would probably make the run Impossible. lol
Yo! LOD lore video let’s go!!
The 1st Battle with Lenus is difficult but the 2nd with her and Regole felt easier especially when you you use Dart's Dragoon Special
i would have used the dragoon transformation liberally personally
It’s a challenge run! 🤓
@@tantacles it's challenging enough with just Darty 😉
I can not wait to play this game my PlayStation who break after this becomes available 😩
Kongol was my fav character to use in this game.
You're here for 40:25.
Ive done a Dart and initial equipment only run before, hell of a time
#1 game of all time. The only game that deserves a remake. Was way ahead of it's time.
You know restricting the use of Dragoon in a solo run is kind of interesting to not do, especially once you start getting higher DLvl since it removes your use of both the defend and item commands. Not to painful at DLvl1 when you just pop in and out but for certain fights losing access to those commands for 5 turns could be fatal. You also have limited MP with no way to recover it while in Dragoon form unless you equip an MP restoration item and since you're not using special you have to do Dragoon additions yourself if you run out of MP. I don't know about you but I personally have a hard time hitting 5s and even 4s sometimes
I actually wanted to attempt a no-Dart run not long ago :) Still haven't yet, should be even funnier
the pineapple
So the answer is no😂
I just finished my first normal playthrough. Seeing Your solo Dart at 50 made me feel weird because when i fought the final boss my Dart was level 45 😅
I've found Talisman (prevent instant death) is key for these solo runs
Do Shana only!
Speed runs of the game is basically a solo with Albert. Go for the speed run record
Making me wanna do a run with nothing but the weakest weapons/armor or something. Haven't played this game in like almost 10 years
I wonder if Meru will end up being easiest for a solo run.. She scales up so well but right when you get her she starts off pretty weak, especially physically..
I did that run
Only Meru
👏 It's easy when you pass Gravity Corrupted Valley
Now I gotta wonder. What final boss has the most phases? Off the top of my head I would probably say the final boss of Wild Arms 3. If I remember correctly it has like 10+ phases to it.
Forgetting to save is a rookie mistake that hits superveterans a LOT, I've noticed. When you've played a game so many times, over a number of years, you get secure in your skill and knowledge, and that can EASILY make you overconfident. You skip save spots because PFFT, what do I look like? Some kid playing for the first time!? I know this game backwards, forwards, upside down, and inside out!
And then RNGesus punishes you for your hubris, and you realize that your last save was *two hours and three dungeons ago*.
Divine dragon spirit & Magician faust y'all y'all 😮
Why do I feel like the boat comments about “not ours but one we can use…which is the best” was LOADED with subtext……..
I love your voice!!!
Thank you!
Defending grants debuff block too. Only game ever where defend is usefull
Was that some (snes)lagoon music in my dragoon game?
Definitely was!
Next challenge
Once you get only rose in the party.... beat the game with only rose lol
I am sure you already know, but you can get Kongols Dragoon gem earlier in Lohan.
the Legend of Dragoon my favorite game all time
i remembered the time when i finished the game with dart's only addition i used was double slash...and other characters also on 1 button press additions only...because the X button of my controller needs to be pressed firmly to register an input and it hurts my hands..
Remember to save Often, but not too often.... i remember using savestates and on Haschel's Solo fight, i f'ed up because i didn't know what to do and i just went in fisting and stuff...... until...... his daughter 1shoted me.... and i had no other savestates....... and i saved.... infight..... ....... Yeah.
like 20 years ago. it still pains me.
I men i would just have everyone else restricted to only defend
I would have gotten dark up to level 10 before Before I started the dungeon
Have you thought about asking around and seeing if you can find or commission mods to make challenge runs easier to set up
For dragoon it’s easy enough, but we will be modding for some fun runs in the future. 😀😀
Unless we put restrictions on Dart, it will be easy to beat the game with Dart.
When did you get level 50? Like was it early in disk 4, thus hitting his power cap early?
I’m surprised you didn’t use darts final edition, blazing dynamo.
It never got unlocked!
@@tantacles so you didn’t master his other moves I take it?
All mastered except moon strike!
@@tantacles ahh I see.
doing a run myself and i just keep shana and albert in party at super low levels, let them attack without doing additions before dying on average they get less than 50 damage total on bosses which is pretty irrelevant in the run and alot less frusturating
now do kongol solo run!
Hey Tantacles, Is that your face on your channel Picture.
It me
I beat this game with no dragoon transforms - easy
No healing items - medium
Dude. You could have just used a total vanishing on Frugal's pets. It should one shot them. Unless they patched that out on the updated versions.
#learningexperience
The items in this game are so busted I used those on some of the bosses and did more damage then your dragoon form.
Do a dragon quest 11 run. Fav game.
We’ll probably get there eventually!
@tantacles items only is impossible I'm thinking.
first things first, im commenting this at the start of the video, after noticing a cheeky popup at the corner, i dont remember this game having trophies as a kid on the ps/ps2, nor do i remember any announcements for a remaster on the ps3/4/5. essentially this is me asking.
DID THEY RELEASE THIS AS A PORT OR REMASTER & WHEN DID THEY DO IT!
i absolutely loved this game, played the demo of it around 250 times back in 2010,
unfortunately when i finally got the 4 disk set 4 or 5 years later as the official game (used) i wasn't as invested in it as i used to be, i sadly no longer have a ps/ps2 to play it on, nor the 4 disc set, so if this did get a remaster/port release for the ps3/4/5. i must know! because i was fully unaware!
Yes! It’s been released as a port on the PS5. Some new features are added, like a rewind feature.
@@tantacles THANK THE LORDS! now to make a major investment lol
It’s not too expensive. Won’t break the bank. 😉
@@tantacles oh. im not worried about the games price, its the HDD/SSD im worried about pricing on. lol
the ps5 isnt mine, but I've been told if i wish to install games on it, Ill need to invest in one, and as all gamers know, those aren't cheap. lol
@@tantacles so. among my research into an SSD/HDD. i have found that
"the legend of dragoon" was available to purchase and download to the ps4! not just the ps5! yippee! 10$ instead of 90$! victory!
How about a no addition completion run?
So you're calling for only White party member Dragoon?
would the charm potion be an exception in this run or does it technically count as a buff? Currently attempting this right now and decided to go with constantly using charm potions on dart in hellena when we first get lavitz so the guards can prioritize attacking him instead of dart to kill him faster while dart just heals.
I think I’ll do this in the next solo run.
@@tantacles JUST A HEADS UP! Fruegels Wardens do not respond to the charm potions so healing potions may still have to be the strat and let rng take the wheel
Total vanishing worked nicely!
Lloyd tickles a pickle? Excuse me? Well. Alright. You can have it.. this time.
I would die for this game to be remade. Can someone tell me where I can play this :(
Available on ps5 now
