I think the build up to his fight is one of the best ever done in gaming, Everyone in your party has a reason to go after him. He murdered several people, including one right before your eyes. You got a chance to see Madea and Trode uncursed, and have all the motivation behind you to end him, and the fight before this had him toying with you with his clones. And then when you finally end him, you realize he isn't even the main villain.
I liked hearing this theme music during the super tough major dragonic ultimate boss battles on the post game version and selecting a prize after defeating the most powerfully strongest gigantic dragons one at a time.
I got scared when I realized that I had to fight Dhoulmagus so I looked up places to grind metal slimes and I got my characters up to Level 37 I think- *the grind was not worth it*
Absolutely the same story. Was a wee young teen when I played this and getting pretty much destroyed during the first time brought me to grind 10 levels or so. Yeah. Taught me a lesson about the importance of difficulty at an early age.
@@migueeeelet I beat the game at lvl 54 lol, I didn't had a strategy for Rhaptorne so I grinded a lot, then I learnt about the Timber of Tension and won on my first try
This was a checkpoint fight in this game. You needed to be a certain level, have certain skill perks and (to top it all off) decent gear. Otherwise, you’re toast.
Veinglory of the MC in all its glory... Hey how do you get your character to tension boost to maximum the first time? i thought it was a full metal king armor set bonus but it isent
You can tell she was too nervous to do all the dancing. She only did a little bit and said ok ima just sing lol Very genuine and they kept it in there🙌🏾
I've heard Dragovian Trials were hard as fuck so I was kinda scared at first Beat them all on first try xD Vermilion Dragon, Gosh I totally hate this one, is the hardest imo (Ironically the first) Whenever you feel like you have a sure hit, he blinds you or intimadte you, is a total asshole Emerald Dragon, easy as fuck Silver Dragon, same as before, a bit longer as he likes to ice wave Gold Dragon, easy Darksteel Dragon, easy, gotta thank it to the metal slimes, always with a spear and axe in inventory xD. I think he is the only one who doesn't pull desperate attacks Divine Dragon, moderate, the combo of intimidate, tension up and ice wave makes battle long and tedious All the previous second round, all were easy save that fucker Vermillion Dragon. Ultimate Dragon was troublesome, he is esentially a power up version of Divine Dragon, yet it was all about patiently waiting for him to make a mistake with his moveset
If he does cold breath to you on 100 tension you're basically dead. I wiped out twice to that. I had tough luck :( Now on lvl 70 tho, my main hero and Yangus can survive that as it deals 700 and they have that much.

This is the best boss theme in the entire dragon quest series in my opinion.
The game is a super good masterpiece
Whys that?
In my opinion, too. Few other songs in general slam you with such sheer, oppressive tension right off the bat like this one.
@@jikunei9 i Can see that. The only dq games I have played was this one and 11 so my knowledge on this is limited.
When this begins, you know shit is about to go down!
Drogovian trials battles.... The bane of my dragon quest 8 play through. (that guy doesn't f@ck around at all)
The Dragovian trials was my entire summer.
Dhoulmagus launches an ultra-high-speed combo!!

Imagine doing the ultimate challenge on ps2 and having to beat all of them without curing
@@xgaming6609 Doable; if you're level 100 lol
@@fistofram5526 Yeah thats nice, but if you are at level 67 like me you'll find It very challenging
@@xgaming6609 I mean why are you talking as if it's possible anyway? This is hypothetically my dude, that's why you said "imagine".
@@fistofram5526 I kinda get stuck on the final form since its very strong
the best part is at 2:03 omg
Yep!
LyricIsDead whoa i didn't know you like dragon quest! Cool!
NEGATIVE! The best part is definitely 1:20
Those drums sound so good.
Can we get a remastered version that has all the content from the 3ds with the symphonic sound track and dq11 graphics.
And put it on every console.
Wish they released that version. I only can play this on the steam deck with emulator.
The little bit at 2:03 is fucking amazing; it used to always seem to play as I was getting fucked up and made things so tense lmfao
When the exam for the class you hate comes...
Christopher Amos lol
*Math Teacher draws near!*
Lost to him so many times that I thought he (Spoiler:)
was the Endboss of the game, this dude was insane
and his theme is diabolic
what level were you at? my party was around 30-30-27-29. I beat him on my 5th try through mostly brute force
Never died to him, yangus carried me through the game
@@DadaduduxD cringe tactic
@@DadaduduxD true that, btw stolzmonat ist jeden monat chef (guv)
The guidebook also treats him as the final boss to avoid "spoilers" xD
Such a pity
pity pity pity pity pity pity pity
That actually isn't Dhoulmagus's catchphrase, but Rhapthorne's.
This theme gets used again in the 3DS version for a very special new cameo boss fight. Look forward to it! ;)
Me too! It needs to be released already!
RavenTheObsidian tell me what boss I think I never go to ot
RavenTheObsidian Why havent you uploaded the 3DS ost...? Its like the wetsuits squookie
yotam braunshtein Estark i think

Level 37 is a bit high.
I managed to beat him at level 28 or so....
@@Ryukuro I beat the game with level 43 or so!

god damn I love this theme
Love the music in this game!
I keep thinking that rock is a Buffalo Bill at first.
Emmanuel Gapud I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT. It’s every play though for me too😂I always fall for it
My favourite game
Good memories
Dhoulmagus: "HAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH. You worthless fools!!! Prepare to be crushed!!!! You will never pest me again!!!!"
*pester
I'm sorry but I can't take seeing comments with spelling errors anymore
*ARRRGH, YOU STUBBORN IDIOTS!! I WAS MERE MOMENTS AWAY FROM COMPLETE RESTORATION! I'LL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER BOTHER ME, AGAIN!!!*

"Hoping to start let's playing soon!"
9 years later this is still the most recent video.

Good god, playing it at 1.25x speed made it scarier for me. I never wanna hear boss music shift gears.
This shit is underrated asf people be sleeping on dq ost
Real
The "you thought i was the final boss" theme
"Yooouuu will adore me! And you will offer your lives up to ME, as sacrifice~!"
And of course, the epic theme playing for Ruin which is an easy boss. Go figure!
who is still playing this game in 2019
I am!
Me
On emulator yes !
Played the 3ds version and it was amazing
Spent a ton of money to get my PS2 running again just to play this.
Just finished a playthrough not too long ago playing 5 now
Ah yes the *THE BOSS GET TO ATTACK TWICE IN A ROW* theme
So? You got four turns
*Laughs in Blacksteel Dragon attacking 3 times in a row.*
2:03
hardest boss in the game after that the game went easy!! :D
Song Editer you haven't tryed Dragovian's boss... xD
Vermilion dragon will make you cry.
that dragon was so easy too! :/
+platuim knight it did to me :(
+Song Editer fool
Basically you're fighting for your life when you hear this music
This was a checkpoint fight in this game. You needed to be a certain level, have certain skill perks and (to top it all off) decent gear. Otherwise, you’re toast.
can you extend hero's challenge (Zoma's theme) from DQIII on the DQIX symphany please!
2022 yess
I can STILL hear him laughing
when some unfortunate soul is about to bear the full brunt of my rage
I've made a Rock/Metal version of this theme! :)
B**ch pls 2022 and Stiller playing this masterpiece
I was at lv. 35 when I took this evil jester out.

How do you play it guys? The android version annoys me because of the camera... And of course, my PS2 died some years ago hahahaha.
If you have PC you can just emulate it really easy
You can tell she was too nervous to do all the dancing. She only did a little bit and said ok ima just sing lol
Very genuine and they kept it in there🙌🏾
ドルマゲスよりも竜神王のテーマだと個人的に思ってるｗ体感的な強さはドルマゲスが上だけど・・
Good musak
I've heard Dragovian Trials were hard as fuck so I was kinda scared at first
Beat them all on first try xD
Vermilion Dragon, Gosh I totally hate this one, is the hardest imo (Ironically the first) Whenever you feel like you have a sure hit, he blinds you or intimadte you, is a total asshole
Emerald Dragon, easy as fuck
Silver Dragon, same as before, a bit longer as he likes to ice wave
Gold Dragon, easy
Darksteel Dragon, easy, gotta thank it to the metal slimes, always with a spear and axe in inventory xD. I think he is the only one who doesn't pull desperate attacks
Divine Dragon, moderate, the combo of intimidate, tension up and ice wave makes battle long and tedious
All the previous second round, all were easy save that fucker Vermillion Dragon.
Ultimate Dragon was troublesome, he is esentially a power up version of Divine Dragon, yet it was all about patiently waiting for him to make a mistake with his moveset
what level where you?
lix Axil The divine dragon gave me the most trouble
If he does cold breath to you on 100 tension you're basically dead. I wiped out twice to that. I had tough luck :(

I remember rekting him
Dhoulmagus summons torny vines
DEP master
The Ultimate Dragon is fucking hard to kill even though your at lvl 99 xD
piece of cake for me
3ds version is a joke. BLADE CASCADE
callum powell sent me h3r3
They need to put this game on switch!!!!
Absolutely. a DQVIII Definitive Edition and DQIX Remake are almost as high on my wishlist as finally getting DQIII's 2D-HD Remake.
Such a pity...
