holy crap man how did you obtain so much patients to do this. and for real i had no idea dead peper did damge to enemys. that and the ozma fight holy cow.
Haha, I love your challenge runs! You can truly sense the effort and "time waste", but also the dedication and sheer determination you pour into them 😂
I would absolutely LOVE to see you do something for Lost Odyssey. Considering its main mechanic, im sure you can get fairly overpowered before getting your fourth party member.
@@Knytewish basically some of your party members cannot naturally learn skills. Instead, they learn skills from other party members and can get them from equippable items.
That was a rollercoaster of a challenge. I honestly forgot that Dead Peppers could even damage in game cus let's be real why would you ever use them in combat (Not sure if the help menu on the items tells you it does damage or not). Major props for beating the challenge and even getting the kill on Ozma. Also major props to Daph for the amazing editing, the little jokes added in gave me a few laughs like the math calculation on Kuja and trying to prevent Vivi fighting the monster in Treno.
Well damn! You have a godly amount of patience, man! That might be one of the best challenges I have ever seen! Though I can understand your frustration at just missing out on beating Kuja by a measly 1333hp, I still can't believe you even THOUGHT about challenging Ozma... that was a gutsy move for sure! But then you only went and beat him... multiple times! I can only imagine how you must have felt each time he didn't drop dark matter. I was raging on your behalf! But your persistence clearly paid off. Excellent video!!!
Calling it, you're going to run out of Peppers. I remember a lot of bosses in FF9 and the late game will require a lot more. I do love your challenge runs. Keep it up. Excited to see if that FF9 remake is going to happen.
Awesome run! Some of us clearly wonder if it's possible to do the six boss rush without a second dark matter but many comments have a wrong hp number for some bosses so I did the math while making sure to reproduce the situation in the video. Short answer: it's possible. The dark matter must be used against the first boss. The outcome can differ depending on which boss gets the dark matter because it changes how much damage is done in surplus. Here are the details. First of all, we need the right number of hp for each boss. Amdusias: 20926 (not 6578 which is the Treno version) Abadon: 10926 (but a version with 12658 exists) Shell Dragon: 10921 (but a version with 12661 exists) Siver Dragon: 24055 Garland: 40728 Kuja: 42382 The documented hp number of boss Shell Dragon is probably right. However, the 10921 hp does not match the calculation in the video and using the dark matter against Kuja should have killed him. Here are the details in that scenario. From what I understood, the boss Shell Dragon only starts to take damage after Dagger is available so maybe that's why one dead pepper was wasted. Boss | Dead pepper left | Damage surplus Amdusias | 91 | 1994 Abadon | 86 | 2424 Shell Dragon | 81 | 1679 Silver Dragon | 70 | 1025 Garland | 46 | 1392 Kuja | 1 | 17 (Finishing with only one dead pepper would have been epic.) Nevertheless I'm going to assume the calculation in the video is right and continue with Shell Dragon at 12661 hp to match this video calculation. Here are the details following the scenario of the video. Boss | Dead pepper left | Damage surplus Amdusias | 91 | 1994 Abadon | 86 | 2424 Shell Dragon | 80 | 2369 Silver Dragon | 69 | 695 Garland | 45 | 672 Kuja | FAILED by 1333 hp This matches exactly the number of hp left given in the video: 42382 - 41049 = 1333. Also Shell Dragon is defeated with 80 dead peppers left, exactly like in the video. And now the details by using the dark matter against Amdusias instead of Kuja. Boss | Dead pepper left | Damage surplus Amdusias | 95 | 773 Abadon | 91 | 294 Shell Dragon | 86 | 689 Silver Dragon | 76 | 395 Garland | 55 | 852 Kuja | 15 | 218 By the way, it doesn't work if the dark matter is used against another boss. Anyway awesome run and it was nice to see that victory against Ozma.
Impressive challenge run, really liked this one. It always amazes me what can be done when you really want to push the limits in these games. For the Terra part: I didn't do the math, but it should be optimal to open with Dark Matter before using any Dead Peppers. This saves you the most pepper uses and ensures they are a bit stronger once you start the final boss of the area, maybe it would've been enough to carry you through the area. Not that I would've tried that on the first attempt, I would've wanted to preserve the Dark Matter as well.
@@Primalliquid92 But your peppers do additional damage for the ammount you have, so for the fight vs. Silver dragon you save 15-17(?) peppers, regarding the number of peppers at that moment the ammount of saved peppers and their additional damage thanks to a higher stock should be over 13.000
You absolute madlad! Not only did you beat Ozma before beating Kuja, you did it in 4 freaking days just for the Dark Matter! Insane man. Insanr but I love it! Great job!
My challenge would be to finish FFIX without breaking down into tears every big story moment, laughing, pondering existence and marveling at the beauty of the cinematics to this day. If they remake this game i will be in the hospital hyperventilating and hugging everyone on the way out lol. (I love the game)
Not watched yet but you could create series out of these challenges then one summation video at the end. Dangs08 attack only series was amazing and I’d happily watch you do something similar with your insane challenges (just cut grinding bits) love your content primal!
Great challenge as always, love watching them, keep them coming. Had an idea for another challenge, currently trying it myself but, could you complete Final Fantasy 9 without spending a single gil? No Synth, No Shops, No Chocobo Hot N Cold. All Weapons, Accessories, Armour and Items etc have to be accumulated via stealing, treasure chests, or just randomly finding them laying around.
Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL Ozma kills, and end-game bosses, and making it to disc 3 Chocobo Forest. Never knew about Dead Peppers for the longest time, not until a person's video about fighting the Friendly Yan. Also never knew for the longest time even about Gysahl Greens curing Berserk.
You're such a madman - in the best way possible. ❤ I don't have the patience to do this kind of stuff myself anymore, so I'm thrilled to see people keeping the craziness alive. Honestly kind of giving me the itch to throw myself into a challenge run again!
Love seeing ff9 challenges... favourite game out of them all. I've been doing a FF9 nuzlocke attempt... can't say I've seen one on RUclips so thought I'd try it. Dunno if that's worth a go as well... I do it where can't revive if character gets knocked unless the story naturally revives them. Doing gizamaluke with only 2 people was tough lol
Woah the gravity of this how did you make it that far? I've used your guides you are very good at Final Fantasy I hope we get some rebirth ff7 help when it comes out! Ps great on ozma that planet is so hard especially the first time I entered battle I was like yeah I'll just take this and then I completely got wiped off the map until I got everything else done I like the unique take on the super boss having low HP but being so deadly that it is basically a race to see who's more lethal more fast anyway good video as always
I was 9years old when ff9 came out it is so nostalgic this game to me, Final Fantasy 8 and 7 included were amazing at that age on the hardware we was used to using. Memories
I actually am curious if maybe using the Dark Matter earlier in one of the 3 boss fights at the end of Tera would actually make it possible to do it without getting a 2nd one. Reason being that it's now 9999 less damage you have to deal with peppers meaning less pepper uses overall over the course of all 3 boss fights. But I didn't math it out, tbf. The 2nd Dark Matter probably was necessary, and I commend you, PrimalLiquid, for your dedication to insanity lol
I had the exact same thought while watching this so I did some math. Using the DM on Garland leaves you short and using it on the silver dragon leaves you like a few hundred damage short. BUT! You can use peppers 99-96 to kill Amduseus, peppers 95-92 kill Abadon, 1 dark matter and pepper 91 kills Shell dragon. THEN: peppers 90-81 kill silver dragon, peppers 80-61 kill Garland, peppers 60-29 deal 42720 to kuja, leaving 28 peppers to spare. Actually, looking back at the video he uses way more peppers on the first 3 encounters than should be used. i dont know if some of the damage is getting negated before the party shows up in each fight or whats going on.
I'm actually excited for this. FFX items only is easily my favourite challenge video. I would like to see more item runs in other JRPGs like Legend of Dragoon, octopath, Shadow Hearts, etc.
Fantastic video, listened before I started my shift at work today but I definitely need to watch this one actually unfold! Thanks for your perseverance! 😂
I love how quirky of a game FF9 is; that there is still stuff like this to be done. I had no idea you could use tents in battle, or dead pepper did damage.
Man I love FF9, Even when doing something bonkers like this the game is a delight. Cudos for the win, I don't envy you the amount of grinding you must have done for Chocobo Hot and Cold :)
You're insane, in the best possible way. These are so fun to watch, and I feel the pain dripping out of every pore when you say you spend hours farming or days playing Hot and Cold (it took me HOURS just to get the 10k for ONE robe of lords and you had over 40k and did it SO early!!). The challenges you give yourself are so insane, you really are half-mad/half-pure inspiration. I dont' know how you can keep topping yourself. What's next, a poison only challenge? Or a RASP only challenge for FF6? What about you can only fight/level up in this game against characters whose tetra card you have leveled up to A (excluding forced fights)?
Great challenge and video. Your presentation style has really evolved I think. Like it a lot. Reminds me a lot of super eyepatch wolf. Keep up the good work.
Okay I love that part of the intro "okay I've shilled enough" *as the in game camera focuses on Branne fanning herself* XD pretty convenient timing lol (have yet to see the rest of the video so surprises are to come 😊)
Love it, just completed the walkthrough of FF9, playing alongside. Do you have the means to play Lost Odyssey? Made by some of the DEVS that made the classic Final Fantasy's. It's basically FF without the summons. I hope you take a look, I would love to play alongside you in any Let's Play of that game. Failing that any chance of redoing your FF XII or FF XV playthrough with your amazing commentary?
I feel like the Ozma battle could have been less painful if you didn't make everyone immune to some of the spells it uses. Not sure if you had everyone immune to Shadow but having 1 person die isn't terrible to prevent healing. 4 days though? damn. That's commitment.
with the way ozma works it doesnt matter, my auto regen keeps everybody topped anyway but his meteor attack can easily 1 shot the whole party if unlucky and he uses it along with curse? its insta game over pretty much
@@Primalliquid92 Oop. It makes me realize how much good luck I've had facing him if that's the case lol. I always thought it's AI focused on what is effective.
OOOOO an editor. So, we might see fully compiled videos of your modded runs in the future? I can't watch that sort of content in the series format, I just don't have enough time. If, say, once it's done you had the whole run edited into a single video, I'd love that. An editor changes everything. I hope they stay with you a long time. Glad to see you reaching out and trying new things.
@@Primalliquid92 I mean things like ragnarok, requiem and transcendence. You have playlists but some have single videos related to the run and some others don’t, unless of course I just missed when they were posted. That’s more than possible I guess.
Could you have let the first boss kill your party to start the game with 99 dead peppers? The plant ads you could technically reset until you get only 2. Other than that, i couldn't see too many more ways to optimise this challenge, great job.
I was going to mention this exact same thing, I was certain that the first baku fight you can let him win and it doesn't count as a game over. Unless they changed it in the remaster? (It's also a speedrun strat to my knowledge to just K.O the party instead of baku)
I’ve waited for this run so long - keep going, love your content. Btw - you reading this, be blessed in these times. One prayer doesn’t hurt anyone but might help someone ❤️
"Became too soft to live" - I don't remember seeing this on my several playthroughs of the game but this was too hilarious for me to not comment on XDD
Damn, that was nuts. I'm surprised you were able to do it. Btw, if you're looking for more challenge run ideas, have you considered getting into the Persona series? Lots of cool challenge runs for Persona 4 and 5 especially, and it's gonna be real hot in a few months with Persona 3 Reload coming out soon.
FF9 is my favorite game ever, so this will be fun to see (even if I will hafta watch it in 2 batches due to work). Off note, any plans on a How Overpowered Can You Get Before X video for Disgaea 7?
Eyyy first time youtube has actually notified me of your video! RUclips actually doing their jobs correctly 😄 🤣 Just at the start, this one is intriguing
Your dedication to insane runs like this and the rpg genre in general is truely impressive mate. Well done on completing this bat shit insane challenge. Doing gods work
Amazing video once again. Currently playing Star Ocean Second Story R, and that game has insane early overpowered potential. Perhaps its something you would like to check out someday.
I didn't realize that you didn't have to actually do any damage to Beatrix, and the poisoning with tents was a really good way to handle the trash fights.
Dear God I can't stress enough how much that statement on crappy mobile gachas is appreciated. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills hearing everyone I associate with online constantly going on about them. One wouldn't stop insisting I would like Genshin until I bit the bullet and gave it a couple hours of my life I'll never get back before getting level/time gated after seeing nothing unique in the game that wasn't stolen from BotW or Xenoblade 2. Both of which are vastly better games. Absolute lunacy. Pretty cool seeing you use the BW3 2nd fight auto-win. I think I pointed it out ages ago in another one of these challenge videos and I was pretty happy to see this one pop up in my sub box. IX really is a versatile gem of a game, I can still play it in its entirety and have a blast. Small wonder it's my favourite in the series. Of all the places I thought this run would go, disc 3 Ozma was NOT one of them. Huge kudos to the wins there moreso than finishing the game. I think the only thing missing would have been popping your head into Hades' fight just to see his shock over the fact that you killed Ozma first, a fun little easter egg and nothing more. It'd be a funny reflection of my and other viewers' reactions for sure.
I would've said Amarant's Throw ability should be fair game. It's not the "Items" command, but you're still using consumable items, which perfectly falls within the spirit of the challenge.
I think you'll be able to scrape by. Soon you'll get the throw command, won't you? Plus tent strats, so... It'll be really hard, but I think you might be able to pull it off.
Crazy challenge! Also you could have done Baku without cheating by letting him kill your party, but then again, who cares when it's the same result anyways 😅
Does Tent trick not work on Hilgigas? Haven't tried, byt he should at least be suspectible to poison and that could potentially save a bunch of peppers
Good job, dude. It is so different watching you do content that you are excited about than some of the generic content that you were doing. Hope content like this is able to save your channel.
Wow, I never thought that was possible, you are incredible, thank you for bringing those videos, I love them and as always I will be interested in your new videos. Greetings.
Yes! Indeed, "abusing" petrification items and such are one of the strategies to reach Memoria before 12hrs. Your additional rules obviously make this more uneeasonable- but boy you're gonna have fun lol
I could be very wrong, but I /think/ you could have done it without the second Dark Matter. Here's how: You used quite a few more peppers on Abadon than his HP would otherwise suggest. That got me to look into it a little more - Amdusias and Abadon aren't killable before the dialog plays. They have a special script which if I'm reading it right, /resets their HP/ once the full party assembles, as they don't want it to be possible for you to kill it before the dialog plays. You burn 1 pepper on Amdusias before Freya gets there, and another 4 on Abadon before Zidane gets there. It should only take 4 peppers each if you wait until the dialog plays, instead of the 5 and 9 your run seems to be using. Their listed HP is each 10926, which tracks closer to the 4 and 5 peppers you use /once Freya and then Zidane show up/. I think by saving those 5, you'd have a slightly harder hit on Shell Dragon and downed him in 4 peppers once Zidane arrives, for a total of 6 peppers saved in You Are Not Alone. Those 6 would have been enough to take down Kuja, if I'm doing the math right. Nevertheless, killing Ozma might be the cooler way to have done it.
@@Primalliquid92 You need to think of them not at the last 6 peppers, but 6 more at the front, numbers 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, and 51, for 1380, 1410, 1440, 1470, 1500, 1530 damage, for a total of 8730 extra damage. Or another way, they don't just give you 6 extra, they do 180 extra on each of the 45 you had already. If you just ask 'how much does 51 peppers do', it's 39780, and then add the 1 dark matter for 49779 damage, way more than the 42382 Kuja has.
Honestly, I had no idea you could even use Dead Peppers to deal damage. When I read the title, my first thought was: "how are you going to win any fights with items, other than Tents?" Also, I can't believe Ozma's loot is RANDOM! That is so evil!

holy crap man how did you obtain so much patients to do this. and for real i had no idea dead peper did damge to enemys. that and the ozma fight holy cow.
@@XXPYR0XX same, played it so many times didn't know dead peppers do that lol
Finally got my onlyflans hoodie!!! Its amazing comfy! My dad who doesnt even like video games likes the design!
They're apparently called "Dead Peppers" cause they'll make you dead inside if they're your main damage source....
Yep
Instead of giving up, bro decided to beat Ozma with Dead Peppers
Haha, I love your challenge runs! You can truly sense the effort and "time waste", but also the dedication and sheer determination you pour into them 😂
Thank you so much!
I would absolutely LOVE to see you do something for Lost Odyssey. Considering its main mechanic, im sure you can get fairly overpowered before getting your fourth party member.

@@Knytewish basically some of your party members cannot naturally learn skills. Instead, they learn skills from other party members and can get them from equippable items.
@@jacobcain9008 ah. Thank you. It’s a game that’s been in my radar for a few years
@@Knytewish i highly recommend it!
Loving all your challenge runs. You just think different about the FF games and it's always such a treat
aww thank you :)
Really enjoyed this run. Peppering Ozma up to be able to get through Terra was a clutch save 😂
Four days of farming Ozma with peppers for a dark matter drop XD nice
That was a rollercoaster of a challenge. I honestly forgot that Dead Peppers could even damage in game cus let's be real why would you ever use them in combat (Not sure if the help menu on the items tells you it does damage or not).
Major props for beating the challenge and even getting the kill on Ozma. Also major props to Daph for the amazing editing, the little jokes added in gave me a few laughs like the math calculation on Kuja and trying to prevent Vivi fighting the monster in Treno.
i think its a great thing having daph edit for me, the synogy is great
It really is a good combo, hope more people see it that way
Well damn! You have a godly amount of patience, man! That might be one of the best challenges I have ever seen! Though I can understand your frustration at just missing out on beating Kuja by a measly 1333hp, I still can't believe you even THOUGHT about challenging Ozma... that was a gutsy move for sure!

Short answer: it's possible. The dark matter must be used against the first boss. The outcome can differ depending on which boss gets the dark matter because it changes how much damage is done in surplus.
Here are the details. First of all, we need the right number of hp for each boss.
Amdusias: 20926 (not 6578 which is the Treno version)
Abadon: 10926 (but a version with 12658 exists)
Shell Dragon: 10921 (but a version with 12661 exists)
Siver Dragon: 24055
Garland: 40728
Kuja: 42382
The documented hp number of boss Shell Dragon is probably right. However, the 10921 hp does not match the calculation in the video and using the dark matter against Kuja should have killed him. Here are the details in that scenario. From what I understood, the boss Shell Dragon only starts to take damage after Dagger is available so maybe that's why one dead pepper was wasted.
Boss | Dead pepper left | Damage surplus
Amdusias | 91 | 1994
Abadon | 86 | 2424
Shell Dragon | 81 | 1679
Silver Dragon | 70 | 1025
Garland | 46 | 1392
Kuja | 1 | 17
(Finishing with only one dead pepper would have been epic.)
Nevertheless I'm going to assume the calculation in the video is right and continue with Shell Dragon at 12661 hp to match this video calculation. Here are the details following the scenario of the video.
Boss | Dead pepper left | Damage surplus
Amdusias | 91 | 1994
Abadon | 86 | 2424
Shell Dragon | 80 | 2369
Silver Dragon | 69 | 695
Garland | 45 | 672
Kuja | FAILED by 1333 hp
This matches exactly the number of hp left given in the video: 42382 - 41049 = 1333. Also Shell Dragon is defeated with 80 dead peppers left, exactly like in the video.
And now the details by using the dark matter against Amdusias instead of Kuja.
Boss | Dead pepper left | Damage surplus
Amdusias | 95 | 773
Abadon | 91 | 294
Shell Dragon | 86 | 689
Silver Dragon | 76 | 395
Garland | 55 | 852
Kuja | 15 | 218
By the way, it doesn't work if the dark matter is used against another boss.
Anyway awesome run and it was nice to see that victory against Ozma.

you learn something new every day!
I had no Idea that SOFT was a weapon itself! Goes to show you that such items are quite powerful on specific enemies.
Man I love FF9, Even when doing something bonkers like this the game is a delight. Cudos for the win, I don't envy you the amount of grinding you must have done for Chocobo Hot and Cold :)
These videos are always so good to watch. Thanks for continually suffering for our benefit!

Or a RASP only challenge for FF6? What about you can only fight/level up in this game against characters whose tetra card you have leveled up to A (excluding forced fights)?
Such dedication! You're more hardcore than I could imagine, I would have 100% considered the final boss Berserking a valid part of the run!
Great challenge and video. Your presentation style has really evolved I think. Like it a lot. Reminds me a lot of super eyepatch wolf. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Okay I love that part of the intro "okay I've shilled enough" *as the in game camera focuses on Branne fanning herself* XD pretty convenient timing lol (have yet to see the rest of the video so surprises are to come 😊)
When you said there's only one dark matter I had a feeling ozma was gonna make an appearance
Wonderful vid, was this done with the Moguri mod?
39:52 Quina sitting there jumping under speedup while getting the 333 regen is fun to watch for some reason
FF 9 is my all time favorite, so much time in hot & cold! Thanks for posting the vid!!
Love it, just completed the walkthrough of FF9, playing alongside. Do you have the means to play Lost Odyssey? Made by some of the DEVS that made the classic Final Fantasy's. It's basically FF without the summons. I hope you take a look, I would love to play alongside you in any Let's Play of that game. Failing that any chance of redoing your FF XII or FF XV playthrough with your amazing commentary?
Dude you're absolutly insane! Congrats!
I feel like the Ozma battle could have been less painful if you didn't make everyone immune to some of the spells it uses. Not sure if you had everyone immune to Shadow but having 1 person die isn't terrible to prevent healing. 4 days though? damn. That's commitment.
with the way ozma works it doesnt matter, my auto regen keeps everybody topped anyway but his meteor attack can easily 1 shot the whole party if unlucky and he uses it along with curse? its insta game over pretty much
@@Primalliquid92 Oop. It makes me realize how much good luck I've had facing him if that's the case lol. I always thought it's AI focused on what is effective.
OOOOO an editor. So, we might see fully compiled videos of your modded runs in the future? I can't watch that sort of content in the series format, I just don't have enough time. If, say, once it's done you had the whole run edited into a single video, I'd love that. An editor changes everything. I hope they stay with you a long time. Glad to see you reaching out and trying new things.
? all of my challenge runs have been single format style
@@Primalliquid92 I mean things like ragnarok, requiem and transcendence. You have playlists but some have single videos related to the run and some others don’t, unless of course I just missed when they were posted. That’s more than possible I guess.
Why grind abilities near ice cave? Is there nothing more efficient or missing something... like a masochistic point?
i dont grind near ice cave?
Primal isnt crazy, he's highly dedicated to his craft.
Another top tier challenge run from Primal! Always brightens my day watching these videos. Keep up the amazing work and much love!
Could you have let the first boss kill your party to start the game with 99 dead peppers?
The plant ads you could technically reset until you get only 2.
Other than that, i couldn't see too many more ways to optimise this challenge, great job.
baku? no it just resets you to the menu
I was going to mention this exact same thing, I was certain that the first baku fight you can let him win and it doesn't count as a game over.
Unless they changed it in the remaster?
(It's also a speedrun strat to my knowledge to just K.O the party instead of baku)
Been watching your videos for ages man, well done on this run :)
Primal your challenge runs never cease to amaze, the dedication to the grind is inspirational love the vids
I’ve waited for this run so long - keep going, love your content.
Btw - you reading this, be blessed in these times.
One prayer doesn’t hurt anyone but might help someone ❤️
Thanks for that!
Gotta admit, this idea is kinda genius
"Twitter has retired!"
Oh I wish.
"Became too soft to live" - I don't remember seeing this on my several playthroughs of the game but this was too hilarious for me to not comment on XDD
This is such a cool challenge! So much thinking outside the box! Well done! ^^
😎👍👍
I think this honestly has to be the first time I ever saw Ozma beat with only items 10/10
hands down my most excited moment this run
Damn, that was nuts. I'm surprised you were able to do it. Btw, if you're looking for more challenge run ideas, have you considered getting into the Persona series? Lots of cool challenge runs for Persona 4 and 5 especially, and it's gonna be real hot in a few months with Persona 3 Reload coming out soon.
i think i will check it out :)
FF9 is my favorite game ever, so this will be fun to see (even if I will hafta watch it in 2 batches due to work). Off note, any plans on a How Overpowered Can You Get Before X video for Disgaea 7?
eventually but it would take a huge amount of time
I love the utter madness of having a challenge that's only beatable if you beat the "super" boss before the final boss.
ive always loved a good challenge run, yours are always the best!
Thanks so much!!
That was insane! Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome run. Thanks for the video!
No problem 👍
Eyyy first time youtube has actually notified me of your video! RUclips actually doing their jobs correctly 😄 🤣
Just at the start, this one is intriguing
notification gang!
what a machine. good run man, thanks for the vid
Your dedication to insane runs like this and the rpg genre in general is truely impressive mate. Well done on completing this bat shit insane challenge. Doing gods work
Amazing video once again.
Currently playing Star Ocean Second Story R, and that game has insane early overpowered potential. Perhaps its something you would like to check out someday.
I'll check it out!
This guy has a list of wins that I simply don’t have the willpower to see through…
Or self loathing😬
I love all these challenges!!!
You are truly a master strategist and genuis when it comes to these videos 😊. Patient too!
Another excellent challenge run keep up the good work!
thank you kindly :)
I didn't realize that you didn't have to actually do any damage to Beatrix, and the poisoning with tents was a really good way to handle the trash fights.
Dear God I can't stress enough how much that statement on crappy mobile gachas is appreciated. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills hearing everyone I associate with online constantly going on about them. One wouldn't stop insisting I would like Genshin until I bit the bullet and gave it a couple hours of my life I'll never get back before getting level/time gated after seeing nothing unique in the game that wasn't stolen from BotW or Xenoblade 2. Both of which are vastly better games.
Absolute lunacy.
Pretty cool seeing you use the BW3 2nd fight auto-win. I think I pointed it out ages ago in another one of these challenge videos and I was pretty happy to see this one pop up in my sub box. IX really is a versatile gem of a game, I can still play it in its entirety and have a blast. Small wonder it's my favourite in the series.
Of all the places I thought this run would go, disc 3 Ozma was NOT one of them. Huge kudos to the wins there moreso than finishing the game. I think the only thing missing would have been popping your head into Hades' fight just to see his shock over the fact that you killed Ozma first, a fun little easter egg and nothing more. It'd be a funny reflection of my and other viewers' reactions for sure.
I would've said Amarant's Throw ability should be fair game. It's not the "Items" command, but you're still using consumable items, which perfectly falls within the spirit of the challenge.
Kinda unrelated but seeing “spring/evil forest” with 39 hours played is like the definition of your channel lol
Deepest lore, Ozma is a sentient gatcha ball. You have to get that dark matter doomsday S rank pull.
I think you'll be able to scrape by. Soon you'll get the throw command, won't you? Plus tent strats, so... It'll be really hard, but I think you might be able to pull it off.
I mean Ozma with dead peppers!!
Wow!
And multiple times to boot.
Considering the remaining runtime @17:20, I am sure you will figure it out and find a way to do this challange somehow!
Phoenix downs dont work on undead?
Any chance you can do a guide for xp weapons in Star Ocean: The last hope. I watched your play through but it's hard to follow without commentary 😅
Good job, the time and effort you put into these challenge runs is incredible! I'm really impressed by your dedication
Crazy challenge!
Also you could have done Baku without cheating by letting him kill your party, but then again, who cares when it's the same result anyways 😅
You are bonkers Primal. How do you even think up these runs that are sooo difficult
not easily lol
17:22 (does Rob Sneider shout) You can do ittttttt!!!
"...and so I'm going to shoot myself in the foot." Bwahhaaha 😅😅😅😅
Primal... don't ever change, you're so awesome.
Does Tent trick not work on Hilgigas? Haven't tried, byt he should at least be suspectible to poison and that could potentially save a bunch of peppers
wouldnt using tents on garland until the snakes hits help in that battle? or it doesnt poison him?
I can't, but I am sure you can. Love the content.
That was so impressive to watch. Awesome work.😮
Glad you enjoyed it!
I started watching this a month ago. Decided to take a shot every time I heard the word "pepper". Just got released from th hospital lol
Considering the Iifa tree is almost entirely undead, as are the Mistodons, I think you're going to be fine
Good job, dude. It is so different watching you do content that you are excited about than some of the generic content that you were doing. Hope content like this is able to save your channel.
Wow, I never thought that was possible, you are incredible, thank you for bringing those videos, I love them and as always I will be interested in your new videos. Greetings.
Strength is still useful because it also influences how much HP you get from level ups.
Yup like and comment worthy. Top notch video. As good as the FF8 GF only vid from awhile ago
Yes! Indeed, "abusing" petrification items and such are one of the strategies to reach Memoria before 12hrs.
Your additional rules obviously make this more uneeasonable- but boy you're gonna have fun lol
I could be very wrong, but I /think/ you could have done it without the second Dark Matter. Here's how: You used quite a few more peppers on Abadon than his HP would otherwise suggest. That got me to look into it a little more - Amdusias and Abadon aren't killable before the dialog plays. They have a special script which if I'm reading it right, /resets their HP/ once the full party assembles, as they don't want it to be possible for you to kill it before the dialog plays. You burn 1 pepper on Amdusias before Freya gets there, and another 4 on Abadon before Zidane gets there. It should only take 4 peppers each if you wait until the dialog plays, instead of the 5 and 9 your run seems to be using. Their listed HP is each 10926, which tracks closer to the 4 and 5 peppers you use /once Freya and then Zidane show up/. I think by saving those 5, you'd have a slightly harder hit on Shell Dragon and downed him in 4 peppers once Zidane arrives, for a total of 6 peppers saved in You Are Not Alone. Those 6 would have been enough to take down Kuja, if I'm doing the math right. Nevertheless, killing Ozma might be the cooler way to have done it.
6 peppers is
30
60
90
120
150
180
which is only 630 damage so kuja still would not have died
@@Primalliquid92 You need to think of them not at the last 6 peppers, but 6 more at the front, numbers 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, and 51, for 1380, 1410, 1440, 1470, 1500, 1530 damage, for a total of 8730 extra damage. Or another way, they don't just give you 6 extra, they do 180 extra on each of the 45 you had already. If you just ask 'how much does 51 peppers do', it's 39780, and then add the 1 dark matter for 49779 damage, way more than the 42382 Kuja has.
Honestly, I had no idea you could even use Dead Peppers to deal damage.
When I read the title, my first thought was: "how are you going to win any fights with items, other than Tents?"
Also, I can't believe Ozma's loot is RANDOM! That is so evil!
This is insane! Mad props
I'm amazed every time i see your videos. Especially ffix. This is amazing.
Epic thank you for expanding the realms of possibility
Beautiful challenge and vid and amazing execution and 4 days only to beat OZMA?
