Update: I recently maxed out all skill points for every character (500 each). I also upgraded some equipment again. Soon I'll make another video showing off my "perfecter" file.
@gemslime33 That depends on many variables. If you try fighting the ultimate dragon at level 30 with mediocre equipment, then it would probably be extremely hard (although doable). Under the circumstances shown in this video, no, it was not supposed to be hard. The point of the video was to show that I maximized my characters' levels, skills, and equipment - which, in itself, is an accomplishment. It's not difficult per se, but it takes a lot of time and dedication.
@TheGuyNamedHenryG There's a place called Howlwind Hill (often called Slime Hill) that is crawling with them. It's a very conspicuous hill near Rydon Tower. You need the Godbird to reach it.
@NoMoreLles I have tried that method, but the encounter you described is much rarer than MKS encounters on howlwind hill. I found that howlwind hill is ultimately more efficient.
I'm currently working on a perfect file in Final Fantasy IX (not with Excalibur II however). I already have every ability and equipment in the game, and I've completed all side quests - I'm in the process of maxing out levels. I'll definitely post a video of it when I'm done.
No, it doesn't affect the game in any way. It has a switch that makes a button press repeatedly. For RPGs, this is useful for having the game play itself, since Turbo X will attack every turn and win easy battles for you. Some people use a rubber band to hold the analog sticks together, causing the player to run in circles infinitely, while Turbo X attacks infinitely. They'll let this happen overnight to try to get rare item drops or something.
I never used a turbo controller. But you're correct in that people who have used a turbo controller (such as fuzzy millipede) have more impressive files than mine.
you can set a turbo controller to autofire a certain button when held in. eg hold the X button in a shoot-em-up game and you fire infinitely many times in a row.
Yes, that is one change I already made. Look at the description for an updated equipment list. (I really don't feel like making another video just to show a few updates.)
@TheGuyNamedHenryG Once you gain access to certain end-game regions of the world map, leveling up becomes significantly easier due to massive-experience-granting monsters - namely, the Metal King Slime. I would just fight MKSs for hours on end without doing anything else. Doing that, you can go from 40 to 99 in about 30 hours.
Everyone does have 500 skill points. I obtained and used all orichalcum. I also created another game file where I used the orichalcum differently. "Perfect" is subjective.
You get to level 99 the same way you get to every other level. You fight stuff until you get enough experience. (The easiest way is fighting Metal King Slimes on Howlwind Hill, accessible with Godbird).
@fate255 or the three golems because they have pretty good defence and attack plus they can all morph together into Mazin who has 999 hp and hits around 300-400 and can launch desperate attacks from 800-900 and can psyche himelf up. Also if any of the three golems had tension before they morphed,that tension goes to Mazin
I've done you one better. If you look to your right, you'll see an updated list of equipment. Yangus gas the MK Shield, and Angelo has the Goddess Shield, while Jessica has the Saintess Shield. Yangus uses the Megaton Hammer (and in my other file, the Conqueror's Axe).
Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragonball, did the art for this game. That is why the characters look similar to characters from the Dragonball series. He also made the art for the character Tension forms, including the Spiky Hair for the Hero. That's why he looks like a Super Saiyan when he goes into Super High Tension.
That's when you get the full Dragovian armor,plus the Dragovian King Sword and equip the hero with it. You can get them by complting this challenge,but you have to finish the game once before.
ha its actually easier than you think ;). their is a certain area where metal slimes, liquid metal slimes & metal king slimes are REGULARS. their is a raised plateau of land right near the Rydon's Tower area. fly over there and land on it; it's only accesible by air. metal slimes usually appear in large groups (10 or so) and are really easy to kill their because they dont flee as often. It's best to kill them with multiple hits as they only have 4hp. as for liquid metal slimes and metal king
the smartest thing to do is use one hit kill attacks. these are the kind of techniques that have a farely low chance of hitting, but will take down the enemy in one hit if it hits. these attacks are: -Hatchet Man (yangus, axe) -Executioner (yangus, axe) executioner is the leveled up version of hatchet man, so it has a greater accuracy -Thunder Thrust (Hero, Spear) these are the best ones to have. it is good to have whistke with yangus for this area, so you can quickly call up monsters
@ArcadianGenesis Yeah, lvling can take a really long time but its really fun learning new skills and stuff! Especially easy when yangus has got whistle, could just summon monsters and then ya got yerself a battle! :D Whats the ultimate lvl? Is in 99?
this game took so long to level up, i gave up at about lvl 75 i had finished like 3 of the trials, i think back to all the effort i put into games back before trophies and accomplishments on ps3 and xbox, knights of the round materia fully maxxed, all of mgs substinence missions finished, O YEAH and 100% on san andreas, and gran turismo 3 & 4 100% and allot more stuff
I'll agree with that. Battles go a lot slower than in normal RPG's. I just started playing another great one if anyone hasn't played it yet. It's also for PS2. It's called Rogue Galaxy. It came out about 2 years ago, but it's pretty fun, and not too easy either. I say that, though it isn't turnbased (it's more like FF12 crossed with Dark Cloud 2), if you like RPG's that are long, and have great stories, then you should try it.
Oh akira toriyama sneaking in DBz moments (hero lv 100 tension) making the hero supersayian oh and dragon soul is the song used to introduce season one of DBz kia in english.
in the game, with white priests that can cast kathwack and not to mention deity trolls that will obliterate you in one hit. you should be at at LEAST level 80 before you attempt to go through here, but anyway once you finally do you will get to the lord of the dragovian's chamber will you will have to beat him he has 8 stages. dragovian form, vermillion dragon, emerald dragon, silver dragon, gold dragon, dark steal dragon, divine dragon and ultimate dragon. each time you beat a form he will
@0409cody11 No...I never used cheats. It's very easy to hit level 99 in under 100 hours by killing metal king slimes. This is common knowledge now. I'm surprised you don't know.
Seriously like the hardest and longest story of any rpg. You think it is over at about 40 hours... and it's only half over and the story has only JUST begun.
to get the armour you have to beat this dragon. you will eventually end up fighting the lord of the dragovians, but first you gotta beat rapthorne. after that you have to fly to the area around the royal hunting grounds, and you will find a raised platform only accesible by air. land there and then you better get ready for a looong and tough journey through the path to the dragovian village. once you get to the village u gotta go through the heavenly realm of "dais", the most insane level
@nuklear7 i did end up finding it on empyra near the tower(thingy/cave) but i've seen a cheat where you can get 4. ever see or hear anything about how?
all u have to do is build your casino tokens to about 16,000 you can do this by getting tons of gold or chance gambling once u get 18000 or more save your game and go to a roulette table in baccarat and max bet in one whole area section so the group of single digits or the group with mostly 20 and max bet EVERYTHING that means even the(in between)numbers too then spin u have a one and 3 chance to double or even triple what u put in if u miss load game in about 2 hours u can get the gringham whip
oh i like super high tension on the normal hero i love the super saiyan look what would be really cool is if the super high tension version of the dragovian armor hero had his helm coming off and showing his super awesome hair du ^_^
Looks good, except Yangus can attack for more damage with non-Flail weapons. Also, switch the Metal King Shield to Yangus and equip Angelo with the Saintess Shield.
i think u get the best boomerang ( metal wing) from combining metal king spear found in the way to dragonvian sanctuary and some boomerang, search online at google for all the alchemy recipes.
how do you get your main character to look differint? only shields and swords appear on mine not armor or helmets yet your hero walks around with all that awsome armor?
Yeah, see, it's fricken HUGE!!! The only rpg that took me as long as this one was FF 12, but that doesn't count because I spent about 20 hours doing some of the sidequests.
if the enemies you called up dont contain what you want (i.e. no liquid metal sllimes or metal king slimes) then you can flee, or intimidate, or fight them anyway if you want. but once you really get into it i actually recommend fleeing, because it is the fasteset way to try again if you find no metal slimes. you will find that metal slimes appear so mutch more often than liquid metal slimes/ metal king slimes, so eventually you can ignore them and only go for the bigger prizes ( i did this XD )
Also, one element of a "perfect" game that you neglected to mention is to collect a complete bestiary with all drop info -- normal and rare -- filled in. This feat is actually more time-consuming than trying to grind enough rare items to complete the recipe list (which is relatively easy if you do it post-game); even taking possible auto-grinding into account, completing the bestiary by itself should take 300-400 hours.
offer you a reward. to get the the hero's clothes to actually change you need to ask these prizes in any order: dragovian armour, dragovian helm, and dragovian shield. to get the dragovian king sword (which, btw, is the best sword in the game) you have to mix the dragovian sword (which is one of the prizes you can ask him for) and the liquid metal sword (which you can get by mixing the rusty old sword + slime crown + orichalcum). dragovian king sword is ULTIMATE!!
actually their much easier to get then you think. if you wanna kill metal king slimes/liquid metal slimes then use these attacks: -lightning thrust (hero, spear) -hatchet man (yangus, axe) -executioner (yangus, axe) if they hit, these do about 300 dmg to them if you dont have any of these yet then your best bet is regular slashes (no abillities) because they have a slight chance of getting critical hits. TIP: use accelerate with jessica! youll have a better chance of getting them
Actually you only get 350 points if I remember correctly meaning that you need 30 seeds of skill each character to get the remaining 150 points they require
I have full dragovian as well. The only thing I don't like about it is when Hero goes super high tension, he doesn't look like he's red super saiyan anymore. Oh and also, how come it says you have played 180 hours? I have 200 hours on mine yet I'm only like lvl 45 or so... Did you level on metal slime types?
once you've got soulstone go to the dark ruins, south end off the island there's an area with clouds over it (shows only accesible with soulstone) Pa troll is up on the ramp, if you go down and west after you kill him you find a ruinious shield &+ stoneman, the best golem for your monster teams ^_^
How in the sweet mother of god did this end up in my recommended 15 years later
I don't know. Have you been watching DQ8 videos recently?
@@ArcadianGenesis nope not one bit lmao outside of this video
Update: I recently maxed out all skill points for every character (500 each). I also upgraded some equipment again. Soon I'll make another video showing off my "perfecter" file.
@gemslime33 That depends on many variables. If you try fighting the ultimate dragon at level 30 with mediocre equipment, then it would probably be extremely hard (although doable).

@pokemonfreakz Haha, yeah, for some reason the camera wouldn't focus at first, but I guess it created a dramatic effect.
No, it doesn't affect the game in any way. It has a switch that makes a button press repeatedly. For RPGs, this is useful for having the game play itself, since Turbo X will attack every turn and win easy battles for you. Some people use a rubber band to hold the analog sticks together, causing the player to run in circles infinitely, while Turbo X attacks infinitely.

@fate255 Yeah, I know. I don't care about monster teams very much. I just threw those together to fill the spots.
I never used a turbo controller. But you're correct in that people who have used a turbo controller (such as fuzzy millipede) have more impressive files than mine.
Yes you can, there are two skull helms in the game.
@ImperviousMason This video does not show the most recent equipment that I have. Look at the info. :P
you can find tough guy tattoo behind seawiew church and you can also buy all the bazaar stuff from the building next to the church in argonia
you can set a turbo controller to autofire a certain button when held in. eg hold the X button in a shoot-em-up game and you fire infinitely many times in a row.
@ImperviousMason I have the Saintess shield on Jessica.
Yes, that is one change I already made. Look at the description for an updated equipment list. (I really don't feel like making another video just to show a few updates.)

I would just fight MKSs for hours on end without doing anything else. Doing that, you can go from 40 to 99 in about 30 hours.
The point is that it's awesome.
There are two Timbrels of Tension, and they are infinite use items.
Yeah. This information is not based on my testing though, it is a well established fact.
Everyone does have 500 skill points. I obtained and used all orichalcum. I also created another game file where I used the orichalcum differently. "Perfect" is subjective.
Godbird's Soulstone - near the end of the game
@RobinNicoagain Check the video info
It comes with a damage multiplier against dragons, so it is the best sword in the game for the Trials.
You get to level 99 the same way you get to every other level. You fight stuff until you get enough experience. (The easiest way is fighting Metal King Slimes on Howlwind Hill, accessible with Godbird).
@fate255 or the three golems because they have pretty good defence and attack plus they can all morph together into Mazin who has 999 hp and hits around 300-400 and can launch desperate attacks from 800-900 and can psyche himelf up.

First of all, I don't have more than one Sage's Stone. But you can easily get more than one of them through alchemy.
either the flail of destruction or fury. you get the flail of fury form red, the flail of destruction from mini medals i think.
Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragonball, did the art for this game. That is why the characters look similar to characters from the Dragonball series. He also made the art for the character Tension forms, including the Spiky Hair for the Hero. That's why he looks like a Super Saiyan when he goes into Super High Tension.
@RMW527 40, perhaps?
I don't use tension or stat boosts. So that may be why. I just attack and heal.
That's when you get the full Dragovian armor,plus the Dragovian King Sword and equip the hero with it.
You can get them by complting this challenge,but you have to finish the game once before.
@ArcadianGenesis Ahhhhh, I see. Where do you find Metal King Slimes? Thanks for the tip.
He obviously got more seeds of life than I did. I really don't care about that.
Twin Dragon Lash is my favorite move in this game! :D
@SephirothBoy13 Haha, it's funny you should mention that, because I just started playing Spyro: Year of the Dragon yesterday.
ha its actually easier than you think ;). their is a certain area where metal slimes, liquid metal slimes & metal king slimes are REGULARS. their is a raised plateau of land right near the Rydon's Tower area. fly over there and land on it; it's only accesible by air. metal slimes usually appear in large groups (10 or so) and are really easy to kill their because they dont flee as often.

Yes, I noticed that after I posted. I meant Goddess for Angelo - he can't equip the Saintess.
this game took so long to level up, i gave up at about lvl 75 i had finished like 3 of the trials, i think back to all the effort i put into games back before trophies and accomplishments on ps3 and xbox, knights of the round materia fully maxxed, all of mgs substinence missions finished, O YEAH and 100% on san andreas, and gran turismo 3 & 4 100% and allot more stuff
man when i first got his full Dragovian, i was like SOB what a fuckin beast
I'll agree with that. Battles go a lot slower than in normal RPG's. I just started playing another great one if anyone hasn't played it yet. It's also for PS2. It's called Rogue Galaxy.

oh yeah and my apologies ArcadianGenesis for filling up your comments page ^^
Oh akira toriyama sneaking in DBz moments (hero lv 100 tension) making the hero supersayian oh and dragon soul is the song used to introduce season one of DBz kia in english.
man you made that look so easy..... nice!

Yeah, that's what I did. I got every skill for every character maxed out at 100.
@0409cody11 No...I never used cheats. It's very easy to hit level 99 in under 100 hours by killing metal king slimes. This is common knowledge now. I'm surprised you don't know.
Timbrel of tension
Seriously like the hardest and longest story of any rpg. You think it is over at about 40 hours... and it's only half over and the story has only JUST begun.

No, clearly Howlwind Hill doesn't suck, because I used it every time, and I got to level 99 faster than anyone else I know.
@nuklear7 i did end up finding it on empyra near the tower(thingy/cave) but i've seen a cheat where you can get 4. ever see or hear anything about how?
wherew did you get that kool armour???
all u have to do is build your casino tokens to about 16,000 you can do this by getting tons of gold or chance gambling once u get 18000 or more save your game and go to a roulette table in baccarat and max bet in one whole area section so the group of single digits or the group with mostly 20 and max bet EVERYTHING that means even the(in between)numbers too then spin u have a one and 3 chance to double or even triple what u put in if u miss load game in about 2 hours u can get the gringham whip
@ArcadianGenesis umm no you have the goddess shield it says in your video :P
the music that starts at 2:33 reminds me of Its A Small World
@ArcadianGenesis oh my mistake xD
where do you fight the ultimate dragon again i forgot
were i get the dargon slayer
you dont need the sword for it to change (though it looks even cooler with it) just need the helm and armour
amazing
Nice, dude. Where'd you get the second sun crown for the timbrel of tensions?
And as engraved ace, supposing that it is of ps2, without using camera, not the fraps (of the PC).
?
oh i like super high tension on the normal hero i love the super saiyan look what would be really cool is if the super high tension version of the dragovian armor hero had his helm coming off and showing his super awesome hair du ^_^
Looks good, except Yangus can attack for more damage with non-Flail weapons. Also, switch the Metal King Shield to Yangus and equip Angelo with the Saintess Shield.

whit what i mix rusty old sword
QQ more?
if the enemies you called up dont contain what you want (i.e. no liquid metal sllimes or metal king slimes) then you can flee, or intimidate, or fight them anyway if you want. but once you really get into it i actually recommend fleeing, because it is the fasteset way to try again if you find no metal slimes. you will find that metal slimes appear so mutch more often than liquid metal slimes/ metal king slimes, so eventually you can ignore them and only go for the bigger prizes ( i did this XD )
Sry bout the outburst like what, 2k weeks ago?
what lvl dose jessica learn that tenssion theng
you know where they all get plus 5 then 20 then 50 ect..
Also, one element of a "perfect" game that you neglected to mention is to collect a complete bestiary with all drop info -- normal and rare -- filled in. This feat is actually more time-consuming than trying to grind enough rare items to complete the recipe list (which is relatively easy if you do it post-game); even taking possible auto-grinding into account, completing the bestiary by itself should take 300-400 hours.
There are some places in the dragon quest that you can't go using the ship, like that island in the southwest, how can i go to these places?
im stuck in the darksteel dragon... it has 3 attacks and thats pretty annoying... my hero is on lv 52, yangus 53, jessica 51 and angelo 52...
i don't understand why i din't get it if i'm supposed to have it right after I killed him
You have the same monster team for team 1 and 2 as i do but switched around omg!
offer you a reward. to get the the hero's clothes to actually change you need to ask these prizes in any order: dragovian armour, dragovian helm, and dragovian shield. to get the dragovian king sword (which, btw, is the best sword in the game) you have to mix the dragovian sword (which is one of the prizes you can ask him for) and the liquid metal sword (which you can get by mixing the rusty old sword + slime crown + orichalcum). dragovian king sword is ULTIMATE!!
hey guys is this supposed to be dragon lord from dq1 looks quite similar
hey how would you find the dragovian armor and the falcon sword
the golems are the ultimate team. I beat the slimes with my three golems after they fused and took them out with one hit.
tell me thet resepi of rusty old sword
Yes it is. He claims to have a perfect file!
what do i have to combine in alchemy pot to get dragon slayer?
actually their much easier to get then you think. if you wanna kill metal king slimes/liquid metal slimes then use these attacks:
-lightning thrust (hero, spear)
-hatchet man (yangus, axe)
-executioner (yangus, axe)
if they hit, these do about 300 dmg to them
if you dont have any of these yet then your best bet is regular slashes (no abillities) because they have a slight chance of getting critical hits.

I have full dragovian as well. The only thing I don't like about it is when Hero goes super high tension, he doesn't look like he's red super saiyan anymore.
Oh and also, how come it says you have played 180 hours? I have 200 hours on mine yet I'm only like lvl 45 or so... Did you level on metal slime types?
did the dragon join you
How do you get the odin's bow
...Not really. You can hunt loads of metal slimes in the fly-only part of the desert.
wow all lvl 99 must of have been long
but it sucks cause sometimes you dont psyche up all the way and you waste a turn
once you've got soulstone go to the dark ruins,
south end off the island there's an area with clouds over it (shows only accesible with soulstone) Pa troll is up on the ramp, if you go down and west after you kill him you find a ruinious shield &+ stoneman, the best golem for your monster teams ^_^
@ArcadianGenesis *is it 99?
How do you switch to that clothes with hero ? i mean the head character...
