Shizel by herself is pretty easy. At this point in the game she puts up less of a fight than the summon spirits. She has her typical spells, invincible/damaging casting, and her only physical moves are minor annoyances. Her orb means protects her front and forces you to attack at range or get over her, and her laser streaks up the field BUT becomes deactivated if you hit her (with Sonic Blade or the like) before it tags you. Her big thing is Eternal Finality, but Reid takes care of that.
The second stage is BS. It's one of the few times doing these runs that I genuinely had to struggle to win, even on this final take. Granted, it's also one of the many inconvenient times where I overlooked a detail which made a significant difference, and goes to show again that mistakes can happen to anyone. Between doing Nereid's Labyrinth and this I equipped Max's default weapon for reasons unknown... which means that Max, the main damage dealer, is dishing out about half damage (after some post-recording testing). That makes this more drawn out than it should be, but in the end losing that damage wasn't the reason behind the struggle. Nereid and Shizel together are just too damn cheap.
Their teamwork is a different type of cheapness than Regulus. Where Regulus just ends up swinging one-hit KO's and spamming Maxwell nonsense, Shizel really draws out the pain. It doesn't help that she's primarily a spell caster, so cheesing her shouldn't really work (didn't try) since Nereid casts a lot more here than with Regulus. Oh and she has 400k HP compared to Regulus' 200k.
Like Regulus, Nereid (this time more female in appearance) and Shizel are a two in one package, and Nereid can't be attacked or stopped in any manner. When it's chest/whatever lights up, it's of course holding a spell for the first chance it gets. The main problem from the get-go is that Shizel casts basic spells as well, and since Eternia doesn't have Guardian in any manner then it is nearly impossible to block everything. Shizel can shoot her stuff while Nereid uses Soul Shot, and even though you block all of that you are still in block-stun when Shizel casts Lightning, which means you can't walk forward to avoid it. If you stay close to her, she will end up using Thunder Blade on top of spam, and since she can MOVE FORWARD while it's casting, it's extremely difficult to escape. Even if you do escape, you just give the pair more ground (and they will DASH up any chance they get), in which case they will begin the same unblockable pattern. With Nihilistic Night providing her a shield up close, it's eternally frustrating on the frontlines.
The idea here was to put Max at the furthest away from Nereid, as Soul Shot will hit the first two casters a lot of the time if you are unable to push her back. Aqua Spiral is the strongest practical thing in the game, and whittling down 400k meant Max had to be on constant Spiraln', whiffs or not. Fortunately unlike Regulus, Shizel herself can be pushed back quite easily with the Lightning Blade family, even though it leaves Reid open much of the time.
For the other two members, the Craymel mages worked best for me. Even though Keele, who was at the front, tended to get interrupted a lot by Soul Shot, the benefits of status protection and Holy Bliss/Bless, which I found to be a profoundly vital part of victory, were a godsend. Sure you can get Holy Bliss' HP recovery from another passive skill, but having Keele and Meredy also meant healing and more chances to hog the spell channel.
Nereid's bag of tricks tends to affect the casters moreso than anything. Spells like Dark Force, Bloody Howling and Holy Lance are almost always targeted at the casters, which is a good and bad thing depending on if Max is in the crossfire. As Shizel's HP drops, she will randomly and occasionally use Eternal Finality, which in this setting is a BLESSING, and it marks where the real challenge kicks off.
Mid-way through, Nereid will constantly cast Fear Flare almost non-stop. While it's not that damaging, Shizel will be shooting her nonsense & minor spells while it goes on, and Nereid will cast another Fear Flare IMMEDIATELY afterward, making movement a dream. If the party is all on the same side, it's brutal. To top that off, Nereid will constantly cast Summon Demon as well. That spell is the most BS thing in the game. It takes up 80% of the screen, does pretty good damage, and lasts forever so Shizel can do what she wants while it takes place. The only thing you can really do against it is brace for impact, since it WILL leave you face down and open for r-
At the very end, Shizel starts using her own Tetra Spell on top of everything. That pretty much signals the depths of despair, which makes reaching the end so fulfilling. Thanks for watching this run, it was pretty fun to playthrough Eternia again after so long, even if this had me pulling hair.

As a 12-year old kid, it was the most intense 17minutes of my life
This game will forever be one of my favorites
" Gate to eternal void, show your passage "
Eu pirava nesse jogo
I always have the same reaction when Reid does his "Infinity Reviver" 🤣 idk what I just did, but it sure looked cool
16:09 when nereid uses shooting star that gives me chills, because you CAN'T avoid it.. 😭😭
Ha,ha,Nereid the most epic and hardest of all of tales's final bosses,it's so fun fighting him!
A shame Guardian didn't exist until Destiny 2. It would be nice to block all those spells.
I feel bad for Shizel though, none of this is her doing. That stupid Nereid doesn't think humans will ever change. Inferians and Celestians just have a preconceived negative notion of each other (sounds like Pulse and Cocoon almost, only with a better story of course). Poor Meredy too, she just wanted her mother back.
With all that action going on, it's no surprise things got laggy. Congrats on victory!
Technically it's Inferians who are the ones with the negative notions.
When you first arrive in Celestia, no one really shows any hostility towards you, yet Inferians are the ones who want war.
@@Mateoski97 Yeah, the Celestians are more curious than anything. There are a couple of bastards among them, but that's to be expected of any people.
The hardest final Tales boss.
She trapped me in the corner so many times.
Maxwell and Secundess
@@user-nu4or8um6r the two doesn't even comparable to Nereid Shizel. I'd say Nereid Regulus is as strong as the final boss, if not stronger
Congrats on finishing!
I finished this too
i can't trigger DDC for the life of me. thanks for showing me it
Imagine if she fused in with Junko from Touhou. You’d get the ultimate nightmare, Shizunko, the ultra-hard true final boss!
Congratulations and fantastic work, been great fun watching this. God I miss Eternia. Tell me, how do you feel about the Destiny games? :3
I named my son after reid lol
Aww, that's awesome 😂
After a long and hard battle I remember taking the Eternal Darkness magic from Shizel and thinking "this a game event right?!''
Apparently, she only uses Finality DeadEnd if you're actively controlling Reid. If he isn't in the party, or if you're controlling someone else, she won't use it.
“CURSE YOUR MISERY”
Wow nice going, ive completed all the modes other than hardcore yet and this looks like a useful method, but some of the stuff u have on ur chars like the arch ribbon and the angel bracelet ive never seen before lol, anyway nice job^^
You can defeat her without using Reid's Mystic Art,using a Revival Doll...No Joke
and that's what i did when i was young xD
you can defeat her with chat eternal hammer without even letting her do her darkness shit
Poor me i'm still dunno use mystic art reid
You can also control someone other than Reid and she just won't use Finality DeadEnd. Even if he's in the active party, she won't use it unless you're controlling him directly.
I figured it out as a kid. Yay me
I thought this boss didn't use Finality DeadEnd on hardcore difficulty, but it turned out that she just doesn't use it if you aren't controlling Reid, even if he is in the active party.
shizel probably had the most tragic fate in the game history like really poor her
Yea her villain backstory is just heartbreaking
In a time ppl once cared about creating hard bosses...
It was like Shizel die and Reid win. The harder she gets hit, the more powerful she becomes, power for power and might for might.
Pretty much the only bad thing about this fantastic game is the voice acting.
...and this final boss' design. seriously _what the hell were they thinking_
I love Tales of Eternia deeply but Nereid Shizel makes me shake with anger
Idk 'bout y'all but I personally love the voice acting
hey mate i need help can you says me how to defected bolt boss its so strong say fast i waiting
I like this game cause u get to play up to 4 players...
All of those mystic artes (Dragon demon chaos) are able only on psp version?
No, dragon demon chaos is an extension skill. To use it, there has to be one enemy left and that enemy's HP has to be lowered to a certain point (2000 + the number of times you've used omega demon chaos). Once those conditions are fulfilled, you use omega demon chaos and after the 7th hit, but before the 8th, you trigger it again and Reid will extend it into Dragon Demon Chaos. There's some enemies it doesn't work on (Cress will just counter with his own OHKO skill if you try to use it on him in the arena). There's actually not any new content in the PSP port - it's just a straight port.
The ultimate challenge for the game would be- No items, no death, no damage, no saving/pausing, hardcore enabled from the start with initial equipment for the entire game.
If you can pull that off, then congrats. Getting through Efreet's cave is outright Hell.
Though if you want to make it even harder than add these as well- speedrun, no magic artes (except where its absolutely required by the plot in order to advance), No Hi-ougis, successfully defeating all enemies that aren't usually meant to be defeated...like Shadow's Empty Dolls, No TP replenishment, no Inns, and the weakest party member always has to land the final blow in every battle (both for regular enemies and bosses alike).
If you can do all of the above in one game than there is nothing more left to attempt.
I think a no damage run is next to impossible as all characters need to be manually placed and moved all the time. Also, counter attacking and whole screen attacks are quite common in this game. Example: Gnome attacks, most craymel artes against you, and you really can't not get hit with multiple enemies in the field (Siren, Sylph, etc). And yeah your whole "challenge" is really just asking the impossible.
@@skennylegend1835 Actually its childs play to beat Sylph without taking any damage. I did it on my first time playing the game too. One of Reids aerial artes is the key. All you have to do is spam it over an over again while wearing a TP restoring item.
Sylph will never have a chance to attack because he can't break out of it once he is trapped. All your other party members can sit back and cast spells to speed up the process. I tried this strategy on every difficulty setting and its full-proof, Sylph literally cannot attack if you do it. So a No-damage run is possible if you know what your doing. You might claim its impossible, but I just consider the impossible to be another self-imposed challenge.

How does he get max hp and tp for all the characters?
Gumchina You can farm for the herbs or simply, keep leveling up till their hp and tp max out.
Yes and depending on your titles can also help the growth rate improve.
Titles don't do anything in Tales of Eternia. They're just cosmetic.
whos a better character to use Reid or Farah?
Old but I'll still answer why not.
No doubt. Reid. Straight up Reid. Farah is a good fighter and she's pretty strong. She isn't a bad melee fighter but Reid has overall better skills and better aerial ability, and more faster (and has a better overall defense stat.) Not to mention he's more easier to handle compared to Farah. But that doesn't make Farah in any way useless (;
*Ranking*
Reid
Farah

This last boss really annoying, you can’t stagger those non-stop spells sent to your party. The boss can push back your party as easy as that. You can block phys attk, but you cannot block mag attk even a simplest one, that whats make this boss fight so hard.
you dare to defy God?
I don't understand why no one is using rising Phoenix. I used to just spam that and omega demon chaos when I was a kid
The TP consumsion is high, and the damage deal is not that "worth it", especially when it's come to no item no death challenge. Well, you can spam it in normal way but yea, the damage output is not that high (comparing when you fight a group of enemies)
pls make video u defet Shizel on 250lv!! it will be mutch more fun!
Sonic Blade :/
Hambs23 more like demon fang
More like Sonic demon fang blade
Wheress the combos?
thie us version of this game is so hard to find
it's not its just expensive if your talking about the one of the psx
That's why I got the european psp release. Weird glitch in my copy where it crashes in the cutscenes after the game. Just ended up watching the ending on youtube lol
cheaters i see the debug menu
+Prince Cauilan I used the debug mode for Regulus Nereid and this battle because the long dungeons/cutscenes weren't worth the wait to try the battle again. It was only the specific enemy on the specific background for the sake of convenience, nothing more.
this is the ps1 or psp version?
PSP, check the battery top right
Cheater never prosper.
Cam Chiem donald trump
garbage voice acting
I've heard far worse.
