It's kind of sad that Zeal was so blinded by her thurst for power and conquest that she never recognised Magus was her son and Magus straights up refuses to speak about it because in his eyes, the mother he once knew was long dead and what stood in front of him was nothing more than a heartless puppet controlled by lavos.
Magus is the only party member without a doppelganger in the final room. I know it's because he's "optional" but I always thought it was interesting nonetheless.
This fight is one of the main reasons I take Magus with me on the Black Omen. When I fight Zeal I'm straight jammin' to his theme. The other is that Magus is a goddamn boss.
Same here. Usually I try to select my characters in a random way except in this fight. In this fight I use Magus, Ayla and Marle. Magus for the theme and the two girls to steal the prism gear and the megaelixirs.
@@fernandoivangalindoarroyo9586 I tried that strategy before I found out about the Death Peak quest. After that, I succeeded with Magus, Crono and Marle.
magus theme is my favorite theme in the whole game. every time i hear it it gives me goosebumps. it would have been awesome if magus fights with zeal alone like frog vs magus.
Love that touch during the third part of the battle with Queen Zeal. I thought it was standard until I did this battle without Magus in the party, heard the standard big boss theme and then I realized the extra touch that was added for when Magus is in the party. Talk about groundbreaking and truly ahead of its time. Such an incredible game that still stands the test of time even today. Even now, few other games hold a candle to this masterpiece.
If they ever remake this game, I hope Magus is solo in this fight (Like a challenge boss for more RP and story) You would have to spare Magus, coin flip on Crono (but have it one of the other, not both) and have Magus in your party. Zeal does an attack that KO's the other two members. Magus is alone, does his speech and reveals just a bit about himself, and then gets revenge for Schala!
Nah. Janus was always her little brother. Schala would have only been in her late teens during the events of the game anyway, with Janus maybe ten or so until his growing into Magus.
all those anime girls either look 14 or 40 or 5 so it was hard to tell if she was his mottter or not. Because there is so much extra you can take in expanded story wise in the sky world.
Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree though. Magus became a ruthless albeit great leader and used countless beings all for his single-minded goal that centered around Lavos.
To be fair, Lavos was a world-ending threat. Magus was merely a kingdom conqueror. Also, the only reason anyone else even accepted the idea of the existence of a being like Lavos is because they literally saw it happen in the future - Magus himself, with no known access to time travel, wouldn't have been able to convince anyone. He did what he thought he had to. Once Magus realizes the adventurers who beat him are collectively stronger than he is, AND already on the same quest to destroy Lavos, he's actually willing to duel Frog even if it results in his own death, and will even tell the group with his dying words that there's a way to save Crono. He's not so far gone that he won't submit to the judgement of those he's wronged.
@@zena2239 This game used a lot of tricks specifically designed around the SNES's oddball hardware. All the ports are stuck emulating those features. The PS1 struggles with it, being only one generation ahead of the SNES.
Zeal=proto-Sephiroth. But without Lavos genes....full integration simply could not happen. What's with Square and alien parasites having that one human that wants to be "one" with said parasite?
I love how Magus's theme plays for this fight (though you have to have Magus for it to play. Would have been cool if it didn't matter if he was there or not).

Oh, I just love how Magus just replaces the battle theme for his theme.
Yeah, that was a nice touch. His theme also kicked up in the ending where he faced Lavos.
alienspacebat No it didn't...
Kaiser Dragon I'm talking about the ending where after the credits he goes to the Ocean Palace as the prophet and says "I must simply laugh."
alienspacebat I must have missed that...
This game has so many endings it's hard to keep track of them.
His battle theme deserved it lol
Zeal: why do i hear boss music?
Magus: For epicness matricide.
Goddamn it! This meme here does fit!
Zeal: You fools dare fight me.
Magus: Nope, we are not fighting you. YOU are fighting ME.
Zeal: Why isn't MY boss theme playing?
Magus: Because I am the true boss here!
Every thing Magus says is pure epicness
He and Zeal have some family issues to work out
"You got whacked 'cuz you're weak" Magus

Queen Zeal: How dare you! I am your mother! Magus: Mom...not in front of my friends...
I can't even stand this fight without Magus it just feels too weird without him

Magus is so top, cause he is Vegeta in vampire version
How fitting that I'm watching this on Mother's Day lol.

Hes the Prophet, it's Like cloning Jesus, i think thats why
Magus joining the party is canon he is in chrono cross too..

Dude, Magus takes no fucking prisoners. What a legend and absolute savage. This is easily the best moment in the ENTIRE game.
i always wondered if zeal knew that magus was her son
Probably not
If she did she, she didn't care
I think that at this point she was so messed up with Lavos' power that she probably didn't recognize him at all.
She only saw Magus as the prophet who lied to her, so I doubt it
She referred to him as the prophet all her life. Lavos brainwashed her.
Always used Magus for this boss fight. His theme seems to be better for it then the other theme.
Same here. Usually I try to select my characters in a random way except in this fight. In this fight I use Magus, Ayla and Marle. Magus for the theme and the two girls to steal the prism gear and the megaelixirs.
Can you save after the endgame?
@@ZidaneTribal93 yes you can, in the lavos core there is one before the very final battle
@@fernandoivangalindoarroyo9586 I tried that strategy before I found out about the Death Peak quest. After that, I succeeded with Magus, Crono and Marle.
"You will now forfeit your life."
This game had no right to be as epic as it is
Magus: "Your theme is shit, Imma do a pro gamer move and put mine in."
Zeal: Hit my music
Magus: No....hit MY music
I love how it changes to magus theme like to show how mad and pumped he is for this fight.
magus theme is my favorite theme in the whole game. every time i hear it it gives me goosebumps. it would have been awesome if magus fights with zeal alone like frog vs magus.
Been awesome if they made a multi-party battle out of it. Two parties fight the hands while Magus solo's Zeal.
@@stevel935 the only problem its that some people kill magus and dont have him xd
The only acceptable matricide.
Magus's battle theme replaces the boss theme? holy shit this is great
Think just this one. You know, his mom and all that
It is to represent the feud between mother and son
@jimhuffman9434 💯 whenever I argue with my mom my theme song starts playing

@owlmage After all, she's the reason he even became Magus, and also why Schala disappeared
My headcanon is that Zeal's voice would sound like Frieza's
How to rectify problems with one's family... the badass way.
Cían Mac Midir magus is not the #blacksheep
“Screw you, mom!” - Magus
Magus: OP when you fight him, Still OP when you play as him
Zeal and Magus have a great mother-son relationship
thanks for uploading this. I like to see Magus give his biggest problem the ax. After all the problems she caused it's rather cathartic.
I never even found out that there was a primary boss theme for this fight since I used magus in all of my parties 😎
If they ever remake this game, I hope Magus is solo in this fight (Like a challenge boss for more RP and story)

Zeal: cadê minha musica de boss?
Magus: por que eu sou o boss aqui...
Robô: afirmativo
Lucca: Vamos lá!
2:40
*Pose*
Lucca: "Is it me, or have we become very good at this?"
Magus: "We trained a lot"
Robo: "So many pointless deaths..."
Magus finally confronting his Mother (in freaking space!) With his theme playing is so amazing!
that's not how you talk to your mother magus
Grandmother
Mother. Zeal had two children, Schala and Janus. Janus of course went on to become Magus after being hurled through time into the middle ages.
Swear they said janus was schala's son/daughter/pick a gender
Nah. Janus was always her little brother. Schala would have only been in her late teens during the events of the game anyway, with Janus maybe ten or so until his growing into Magus.
all those anime girls either look 14 or 40 or 5 so it was hard to tell if she was his mottter or not. Because there is so much extra you can take in expanded story wise in the sky world.
if they remake this Magus should totally solo Zeal
Hold up she survived a 9999 hit? Damn she’s strong

Oh wow, Magus doing combo techs? There's a lot I don't know about this game.
There are few accessories which enable new Triple Techs and at least two of them include Magus. They are very powerful.
You have to take Ayla, she can steal prism dress and prism helm if I recall correctly.
Yep.. Total Badass! She also gets a Silver Hand weapon if u level her stats up enough!!
I love magus theme in every bossfight
@owlmage I think you mean "give his biggest problem the SCYTHE"
To put this into context, this man has to kill his own mother.... sad...
It is not the regular boss theme for this fight, it's the second theme.
them load times tho
I know.. the game randomly freezes to process stuff lmao.
Excepting the disasters that are the mobile ports, the PS1 is the worst way to play this game.

(Maybe too late but) then...Lavos = proto-J.E.N.O.V.A.
Awww, family quarrel.
Is it just me, or does the "laughter" in the soundtrack when Magus fights Crono and Frog sound more like crying when he fights Zeal?
My case in point.
Actually, is a recording of a baby laughing, with some edition

awesome boss fight
Gran combo
What a banger

ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!
magus fodao
Chrono Trigger is not that funny when you have 99 Megaelixirs
It's not hacks, it's just unnecessary farming. Megaelixirs are stealable from the Ruminators (two headed things).
That was to easy, how did you do it?
8th time
Who is zeal?
the queen, mother of magus, the boss he is fighting in this video..
Thanks Jesus
Wait is really ROBO taking the lead ? lol
Robo with a bunch of speed tabs is probably the strongest character of them all. Him and Lucca have powerful skills balanced with slow speed.
@@SeanusAurelius Let Ayla charm Panel enemies for Speed Tabs, problem solves.
That Double attack is an area attack, Thays why
Now do it at normal levels.
