Hey all! important little message here! We are moving away from Patreon over to Kofi (they take WAY less of a fee, have better features and far more ways to support creators both monthly and as a one off) the first goal is also to get the funds to hire an editor full time instead of just for one off videos, this means you all get EVEN MORE VIDEOS! and because more time can be spent on each video the level and quality of the edit will be even higher aswell! Also as part of the first goal we threw in a little extra to help me cover monthly bills to ease that worry and allow me to devote all my energy and time to creating content that you love, if you currently are a patreon supporter i will continue to update patreon for those that have longer memberships but i will no longer promote it and instead only promote Ko-fi. We have some exciting things planned for the future and the growth of this channel and it will be made possible by you all and your support! anything you can give will be extremely helpful in the time to come, in the next few days i will be adding a roadmap to the page and also make a video detailing our goals and to show just how your support will be used in the years to come! If you want to support me, the channel and the content you love then please feel free to check out the page at - ko-fi.com/primalliquid92 Thank you all!
if you spent enough time grinding 60,000 gold you can buy a legend hat and phantom shield for all three characters. the most i think ive grinded in shirly shrine is level 18. i did gameshark my way to level 60 once of course
brother pleasee hear me; lavitz is knight he gets knight shield shana is sniper needs better consistent accuracy low dmg when not usin magic with wargods 😂
Anytime spent on the amazing LOD is time well spended,what a masterpiece,also so happy the you after your first gameplay got to do fun stuff like this one on this game and learn more about it,i really hope for more! Amazing
I am so happy to hear that you like this game! I grew up playing this game since I first played the demo on the PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc. Truly a masterpiece that I share dearly with my brother. This game created my gaming history in the nutshell because I refer to The Legend of Dragoon as the best game I ever played. So many memories with just this game for me in my youth. I am currently replaying and on the second disc. If anything, I slept on the Final Fantasy franchise, but ones that I did play are FFX and FFXII which are fantastic. Thank you for your efforts, and Happy Holidays!
[Same.. a friend gave me a demo disk with lod on it and i was hooked... begged dad for it and i was in love. I got hooked on ff11 and that was that.... ff9 and ff10 then kingdom hearts came after lod and i live final fantasy.. but lod is the goat...a lod mmo would be BEAST]
I would grind at dragons nest too but only for additions cuz lizard men have physical barrier, so you can farm like 20 additions a fight before the game crashes. Lavitz with flower storm always felt like a huge flex. God I love this game
I maxed out Dart's dragoon levels there by using an addition that was giving 100 sp at a time. I would get 800 to 1000 sp per fight because of the lizardmens physical barrier
I remember firing up the old gameshark back in the day on my fifth or so playthrough. One of the cheats was an "All key items" code that hilariously gave access to Darts final dragoon form at the beginning of the game. Not only that it wasn't disabled in the Lloyd fight. Watching the cannon and barrage animations play out followed by a "You missed" or "Over here" was amazing 🤣
im pretty sure you can make this easier with the *rare* mobs that spawn out in the open map. I forgot if it was just before kazas or right before hellena second visit, but the magic sig stone and accuracy gear make it a much better grind when you can get 300xp from killing the xp urnn lol. I min maxed the game like that, there is a spot where the urnn spawns between 30-50% between the bazaar middle eastern style town and the forest.
Oh my goodness. This was the first game that I ever had that I bought with my own money. I would say I probably have close to if not 1000 hours in this game in the almost 24 years it has existed. Knowing how hard grinding is in this game, I cannot imagine intentionally doing all of this without having the proper setup to farm up yellow birds for the gold needed. Truly an amazing video and I’m so sorry you put yourself through that LOL
Yea the game is designed in a way that you don't really need to grind for levels. Dart puts down more bosses than Dante di Sparda 😂. The only real grinding is for gold for certain equips and Kongol's Dragoon Spirit. I never really grinded Spirit levels, as it kinda trivializes a large portion of the game.
Never have I imagined someone would be crazy enough to do this. I truly hope you had speed boost feature of any kind while doing the grind, though I can understand it's only actually usable after you bought three Ultimate Wargods because doing Additions (read: Gust of Wind Dance) with speed boost on is practically a one-way ticket to insanity. Thanks for the sacrifice, Primal! You will be remembered xD *I really love this game, you know.. So, really, thanks a lot! It was fun watching someone making content for it..
What a madlad, grinding so much before even lavitz is available, let alone getting to max lvl FEW TIPS : For the common man to shortcut the GOLD portion of the grind (and some other stuff, but mostly gold) yellow birds are between Hoax and Bale, they drop 300 gp and a chance for an item to increase evasion by 20% THEN, right before hellena 2, you can grind 00PARTS near the mountains by Lohan. They drop 600 gp, and a guarantee potion to give 100 sp, which can help the dragoon grind Lastly, the ultimate wargod lets you afk and go braindead, but doesnt give any stats. Unless youre grinding for an obscene amount of time, just go for a casque or phantom shield instead and get stronger quicker.
The final screen at 15:07 showed over 300k gold, so I imagine the xp to get everyone to level 60 was the main bottleneck rather than the gold. So, might as well get the ultimate wargod ASAP to make the grinding easier.
I've played through this game a half dozen times, at least; it's probably my favorite PSX JRPG, and I don't have nearly as much time in it as Primal has on this one OP playthrough. I don't believe I've ever gotten anyone to level 60, in fact, though I have kitted everyone out in the 10,000g equipment by farming 00 Parts a couple of times.
I understand this is for an OP build, but for anyone doing a normal playthrough I'd stress not to buy the Ultimate Wargod if for nothing else you can get a free one a bit later in the game. Pretty much all the 10k equipment can break the game in some form especially the Legend Casque so if you want much challenge, you might also want to avoid them completely.
One of my favorite games of all time. That I've never beaten. Got all the to the end back in the day. Cousin ripped the ps1 memory card out and erased all the data. Still hadn't gone back to finished it. 😢
This was amazing! I always loved LoD since I was a kid and this was such a great thing to see how broken you can get so early on. Keep up the amazing work!
It was was always nice playing this with a musical background and having a slight edge when doing additions. I still have the rhythms for those tricky additions hardcoded into my muscle memory.
One thing I always do in every playthrough is max every addition as soon as i get it. I know it's not always optimal because i could wait a little while and do it in areas where mobs could give me other useful things too. But i love having those max additions as quickly as possible for the extra damage and sp.
It brings a tear to my eyes just to see people paying attention to this game. Played it on the PSX, save got corrupted though so I never beat it...I should probably go do that one day.
Legend of Dragoon and Legend of Legaia. Two beloved old games without PC ports. I think Dragoon is available on Playstation Plus though. I need to take the time to play both over this next year in some way or another. Thank you, you've given me a goal. Not the 500 hour overpower grind but it does leave me wanting to play the game myself.
there is probably a best method of swapping out characters so that you don't max one character so that when you swap them out they still level up in the reserve party, rather than getting to 60 and then wasting xp in reserve since they can't die and are a bad idea in main party. and then obviously since you can't swap out dart he should be the last one to get leveled. but yeah as you did note it's hard to keep the party dead unless you use cheats since defending heals them and they revive after battle. I'd think it would save a few hours but idk how many
I remember getting overpowered at disc at royal castle which helped out hope bluepoint games surprises us with a prequel for legend of dragoon that would blow my mind
Ah, it's a beautiful day. Been looking forward to this episode for 82 years. Additional respect to the madness that is grinding without using the "special enemies". Totally thought that was going to be the choice with the Magic Sig Stone pickup, but actual random encounters is nuts. GG. Also agreed that the grind is completely unnecessary. Even just having the 1 Casque is enough to break the game's balance, since that balance is really just geared around boss exp, without the need to grind further. But it's still fun to play around with all the different ways available to become OP. Also, 3000 spent for the jar, since I could afford it. Back before kid-me learned what haggling even was.. Thanks for the vid!
@@Primalliquid92Aye, that's definitely the quickest way to get gold at this stage, and for a more casual OP run, all that's really necessary to never game over. For the exp, it may have been faster to go after Cursed Jars (with 300xp a battle), but then again, that requires a bit more attention than steamrolling randoms. So tedium vs time, i guess. Again though, massive respect for reaching level 60, and especially for doing so at Shirley's. And thanks again for showing how OP you can get this early in LoD!
Damn 513h... You crazy bastard, well done. Great video. Though i would jave liked to see you best a boss or something to show off your overpoweredness!
Imo there are 4-5 worthwhile grind areas to be absolutely overpowered. 1 is the time in the video, get lavitz final addition and maybe 1 or 2 legend casque. After the tournament in Lohan but before entering the prison. 2 available after you get darts spirit back but before fighting lenus the first time, this can be the biggest grind. Right after you get kongol, grab his Dragoon spirit and go back to the home of gigantos. Grind the gangsters for bandits rings for all the males and also use the blue bird to grind levels to unlock additions. Meru has the highest level addition unlock at lv 30. Either you stop here or you can go to max level for each character. You also get a lot of gold here enough for 3 sets of ultimate wargods, Phantom shields, Legend casque and left over for armor of legend in disc 3. By the end of this grind every character has max dragoon (except Meru), max additions, and equipped to take on anything all before lenus. And isn't too bad for time since blue birds give 1000 exp 3 in the forbidden land before fighting the grand jewel, pucks drop dancers rings and you can grind a full set for the ladies and this area also has the only chest dancers shoes for the ladies. Meaning you can have Rose, Miranda or meru have 95, 105, or 110 speed. 4 this is optional but right before you go back to the home of gigantos in disc 4 if you chose not to grind to 60 in disc 2 you can grind on lucky jars near ulara and if you have 3 ultimate wargods you can go to the desert and mash x while enemies auto target you. This is by far the best way to get to level 60 without much thought. 5 finally another optional grind but you can get extra dancers shoes in the moon but before you enter the inner moon. Cute cats drop them and if you farm 2 you can have all the ladies be super speedy. There is one other notable enemy too. The magician boggey on the haunted ship. You only fight 4 of them in the game but they have a 2% drop a magical hat. With 2 being found in other areas a drop from 1 magician will be enough to have all 3 of your active party have 150 mp for dragoon builds. Good luck with the grind
Before watching, lets see if i remember correctly the situation you are in before hellena 2. A squad of 5 characters to grimd out levels, additions, and D. Levels. Beyond the level/addition grind you would also need to grind out a ridiculously crazy amount of gold for the 10k cost items for 2 of 3 gear slots as the 3rd 10k armor piece isnt available yet. So, starter weapons used for addition and d. Level grinds (no available gear at this point for extra sp gain iirc) and best available weapons for the exp grind on thr toughest mobs available (and perhaps rare encounters)
14:37 you couldve just done 80 for all additions, but you took that extra step and 99'd em. Thats why we love ya and Ive only grinded all characters to lv60 before the last dungeon once, to do it at the shirleys shrine is insane.
I'm late to seeing this but there is a saving glitch for half over writing your saves that keeping your character levels but bringing you back to the beginning of the game, almost like new game +1. I had Dart at max level with his second dragoon spirit in the Helen Prison and it was hilarious.
I like killing the gold birds outside Lavitz's town. They give good money and the drop sells well. Doesn't help much with the EXP issue but it makes getting the 10000 gp easier.
The furthest I ever grinded this early was to unlock all of Lavitz's Additions and obtaining Dart's "Final Burst". The latter by the time I got to Drake. The only Addition I think I have the hardest time with is Rod Typhoon due to that dang random counter attack I can never read lol.
Bro Thats some serious dedication...I've remember playing it with my dad since its very first release and i still have my copy ive beat it loads of times but never maxed out the characters like that lmao Gotta restart though i noticed you dont have any stardust yet...😂😂😂
It was for me for sure. Despite having owned FF7 for longer I was really young back then and my mother wouldn't let us play FF7 due to all the swearing and stuff. So this and Wild Arms 2 were the only JRPGs we played for a long time. Probably a bit reason why both games hold a very special place in my heart.
Maxed 3 additions and dlvl4 with dart dlvl3 with lavitz and 3 with rose and Shana shrine of Shirley if u go to the right on 2nd screen u can infinite heal even after getting the spirit for shana
When I clicked this video, I didn't see the "2" and I thought you had truly lost your mind in Dick Tree fashion. How powerful can you get before Helena first visit is the same energy as "can I reach level 99 in the first reactor?" Energy 😂 Glad you're only half insane 🙏🏻
I know it’s against the spirit of the run but i had Dart with his divine dragon spirit in Helena. there is a way to technically do new game +, I think only on an actual ps2 though.
I've only once grinded the chars to lvl 60, but i've done that on an emulator with 1100 fps and in the desert with the battles which start pretty much automatically without running around, so that i only need to spam X with the automatic additions^^ That already took me like 2 days and i can't imagine someone doing that on such a spot.
How overpowered can you get in Xenosaga episode 1 grinding from the tutorial AGWS unit? I don't think you can level, but it is the best source for tech points to increase the power of your attacks. I had Shion one shot everything with spell ray minus the bosses.
There have been a few rumors over the years of remakes/new games within the world, but always seems to fall through. There's even been some solid fan-work put into upscaling the game's backgrounds, which is apparently a nightmare to do, but haven't seen an update on that project in a little over a year now. (Though shoutout to Zychronix and everyone else who were working on it. Same guy(s) who created the Hell Mode mod, i believe.)
wow u are awesome for doing this.. i have done this but to lvl 35 in the shrine.. wheewwww this my 2nd fav game of al time now i read a comment for Xenosaga,, u have to try all 3 episodes they are great games with great stories..there is also a 7 hr cut scene movie for each episode. I believe u will enjoy these games.if not play then atleast try to watch the cut scene movies...
Ultimate wargod counts twards completed and full SP. It's lower is wargod which halves the SP and damage and does not count as completed. They are a subotimal choice each, Cause perfected use does open the slot up to damage reduction ultimate gear instead. But it's good anyways.
This was really fun to watch, as well as unexpected! What i mean is that i usually don't expect new videos of The Legend of Dragoon from bigger channels, but i long for them :) Thus i hope more The Legend of Dragoon content could come in the future. I know though that it's difficult to make content about The Legend of Dragoon. Maybe when Severed Chains reach its final release and bigger and more complex mods begin to drop, new youtube content about TLOD could be done easier. Or maybe when a Remake finally comes from Sony. The Legend of Dragoon is my absolute favorite game of all time. It stands at the top of my list with a 10/10 (maybe it's not a 10/10, but it's personal :P), closely followed by Dragon Age Origins at second place (9.9/10) and the third place goes to Mass Effect trilogy (9.8/10) :) For Dragon Age and Mass Effect the franchises are still alive and kicking, but not the same can be said for TLOD. :( I wish so much for a full PS5 Remake of it to finally come. I hate how Sony is totally neglecting their JRPG history. Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, Wild Arms... there are so many... Either way, i think i went way off chart lol i enjoyed this content and i hope for more about The Legend of Dragoon. PS. Severed Chains is a fan made PC Port of The Legend of Dragoon that will remove emulation completely and allow us full mods support (that means mods for highly detailed 3D models, mods for new additions or even Shana additions, mods for new quests etc.)
I never knew that because I've actually never used the item. Much better accessories to use, especially for Lavitz/King Albert and I never had any trouble with the addition system.
if you get lavitz to his last addition before the second hellana raid, the rest of the game is easy. he is a beast in killing boss. he does at least twice as much damage as the rest each turn. equip him with bandit's ring or defensive rings, have plenty of healing potions, and throw the occasional power up and speed up on him for more overpowering status.
A quicker way to do the exp exploit is instead of waiting till 1 character hits level 60 and swap him out. Swap out the character at level 40-50 since he'll still be earning exp in the background and can't kill him off. Also I'd use dart last as i don't think you can swap him out
I used to have an idea for a crazy grind in this game but never had the patience to actually follow through. My crazy grind idea was only about 1/3 of what you did here lol
i always level dart to 10 before i leave the first forest. because you arent sharing EXP it doesnt really take that long. also im maxing out his additions anyway so by the time you get double slash and volcano to 80 you already hit level 8 for burning rush. and by the time you get that maxed out you should be level 10 anyway so i max out his additions than continue. then in hellena before i get shana i get lavitz maxed out on his additions again prioritzing gaining as much xp without splitting 3 ways as possible
I just downloaded this earlier and thought to myself, this looks like a game primal liquid would play 😅, it’s my first time playing so might not follow suit just yet!
I used the dragon newt spot to get 30k gold lol to get 3 of the ultimate WarGods. Lol highly not recommended but you also worth it lol makes the game to easy.
I didn’t push things all the way to max level… But man, it’s a reward when you find yourself enjoying the game the way it wasn’t meant to be played. Well, at this point you aren’t even playing anymore lol
Hi Primal, Have you ever heard of Dragoon Modifier Mod ? It's an amazing custom mod for LOTD with many features . I would love to see you playing the game with this mod specially it's "Hell mode"

but yeah as you did note it's hard to keep the party dead unless you use cheats since defending heals them and they revive after battle. I'd think it would save a few hours but idk how many
a fully mathed out solution would have probably saved maybe 10 hours or so i reckon, but idk even that seems a little high to me

Even just having the 1 Casque is enough to break the game's balance, since that balance is really just geared around boss exp, without the need to grind further. But it's still fun to play around with all the different ways available to become OP.
Also, 3000 spent for the jar, since I could afford it. Back before kid-me learned what haggling even was..
Thanks for the vid!
i was originally gonna do OOparts for gold but then i realized with how much exp i needed, that alone would more than cover the gold aswell
@@Primalliquid92Aye, that's definitely the quickest way to get gold at this stage, and for a more casual OP run, all that's really necessary to never game over.
For the exp, it may have been faster to go after Cursed Jars (with 300xp a battle), but then again, that requires a bit more attention than steamrolling randoms. So tedium vs time, i guess.
Again though, massive respect for reaching level 60, and especially for doing so at Shirley's.
And thanks again for showing how OP you can get this early in LoD!
I have done this grind a few times. It take a long time but I love it.
Damn 513h... You crazy bastard, well done. Great video. Though i would jave liked to see you best a boss or something to show off your overpoweredness!
Imo there are 4-5 worthwhile grind areas to be absolutely overpowered.
1 is the time in the video, get lavitz final addition and maybe 1 or 2 legend casque. After the tournament in Lohan but before entering the prison.
2 available after you get darts spirit back but before fighting lenus the first time, this can be the biggest grind. Right after you get kongol, grab his Dragoon spirit and go back to the home of gigantos. Grind the gangsters for bandits rings for all the males and also use the blue bird to grind levels to unlock additions. Meru has the highest level addition unlock at lv 30. Either you stop here or you can go to max level for each character. You also get a lot of gold here enough for 3 sets of ultimate wargods, Phantom shields, Legend casque and left over for armor of legend in disc 3. By the end of this grind every character has max dragoon (except Meru), max additions, and equipped to take on anything all before lenus. And isn't too bad for time since blue birds give 1000 exp
3 in the forbidden land before fighting the grand jewel, pucks drop dancers rings and you can grind a full set for the ladies and this area also has the only chest dancers shoes for the ladies. Meaning you can have Rose, Miranda or meru have 95, 105, or 110 speed.
4 this is optional but right before you go back to the home of gigantos in disc 4 if you chose not to grind to 60 in disc 2 you can grind on lucky jars near ulara and if you have 3 ultimate wargods you can go to the desert and mash x while enemies auto target you. This is by far the best way to get to level 60 without much thought.
5 finally another optional grind but you can get extra dancers shoes in the moon but before you enter the inner moon. Cute cats drop them and if you farm 2 you can have all the ladies be super speedy.
There is one other notable enemy too. The magician boggey on the haunted ship. You only fight 4 of them in the game but they have a 2% drop a magical hat. With 2 being found in other areas a drop from 1 magician will be enough to have all 3 of your active party have 150 mp for dragoon builds.
Good luck with the grind
Before watching, lets see if i remember correctly the situation you are in before hellena 2. A squad of 5 characters to grimd out levels, additions, and D. Levels. Beyond the level/addition grind you would also need to grind out a ridiculously crazy amount of gold for the 10k cost items for 2 of 3 gear slots as the 3rd 10k armor piece isnt available yet. So, starter weapons used for addition and d. Level grinds (no available gear at this point for extra sp gain iirc) and best available weapons for the exp grind on thr toughest mobs available (and perhaps rare encounters)
pretty much spot on except no rare encounters were used
14:37 you couldve just done 80 for all additions, but you took that extra step and 99'd em. Thats why we love ya and Ive only grinded all characters to lv60 before the last dungeon once, to do it at the shirleys shrine is insane.
Playing legend of the dragoon for the first time, tips have been really helpful. Thanks
I'm late to seeing this but there is a saving glitch for half over writing your saves that keeping your character levels but bringing you back to the beginning of the game, almost like new game +1. I had Dart at max level with his second dragoon spirit in the Helen Prison and it was hilarious.
OMG dude
You're a beast!
:) thank you!
I like killing the gold birds outside Lavitz's town. They give good money and the drop sells well. Doesn't help much with the EXP issue but it makes getting the 10000 gp easier.
Love them! keep them coming. Also If you ever want to add commentary to some of your older plat playthroughs that would be awesome!! Thank you!!
Man got me wanting to play this again least I think this is what I Played lol it had a couple disc with it and took ages as a kid but was so fun.
The furthest I ever grinded this early was to unlock all of Lavitz's Additions and obtaining Dart's "Final Burst". The latter by the time I got to Drake. The only Addition I think I have the hardest time with is Rod Typhoon due to that dang random counter attack I can never read lol.
Bro Thats some serious dedication...I've remember playing it with my dad since its very first release and i still have my copy ive beat it loads of times but never maxed out the characters like that lmao Gotta restart though i noticed you dont have any stardust yet...😂😂😂
One of my all favorite time games!!!
Was not expecting this, but will gladly watch it! while I love the Final Fantasy series I have always liked this game more.
it truly is a special game
It was for me for sure. Despite having owned FF7 for longer I was really young back then and my mother wouldn't let us play FF7 due to all the swearing and stuff. So this and Wild Arms 2 were the only JRPGs we played for a long time.
Probably a bit reason why both games hold a very special place in my heart.
Yo i just started playing this again since sony finally released a playable patch. Can't wait for death to thumbs Disc 1.
Maxed 3 additions and dlvl4 with dart dlvl3 with lavitz and 3 with rose and Shana shrine of Shirley if u go to the right on 2nd screen u can infinite heal even after getting the spirit for shana
When I clicked this video, I didn't see the "2" and I thought you had truly lost your mind in Dick Tree fashion.
How powerful can you get before Helena first visit is the same energy as "can I reach level 99 in the first reactor?" Energy 😂
Glad you're only half insane 🙏🏻
Watched this one when it got released to members and yeah this guy is insane for doing this lol
thanks for the support! you have another new video coming soon to early access :)
This game is amazing, im so glad the remake Severed chains is almost done with the hi def graphic update!
I saw the title and said "oh no" out loud
xD
@@Primalliquid92 i hope you steamrolled the game after putting that much effort into this! awesome vid as always
I know it’s against the spirit of the run but i had Dart with his divine dragon spirit in Helena. there is a way to technically do new game +, I think only on an actual ps2 though.
I've only once grinded the chars to lvl 60, but i've done that on an emulator with 1100 fps and in the desert with the battles which start pretty much automatically without running around, so that i only need to spam X with the automatic additions^^ That already took me like 2 days and i can't imagine someone doing that on such a spot.
This was one of the longest ways to do some of this stuff, even early on. But I’m glad it was you doing it and not me lol
insane job. respect!
Oooh Hellena Prison is super early, before watching this, it probably involves fighting that rare mob to buy full set of accessories.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially when it is one of my most favourite games!
enjoy :)
How overpowered can you get in Xenosaga episode 1 grinding from the tutorial AGWS unit? I don't think you can level, but it is the best source for tech points to increase the power of your attacks. I had Shion one shot everything with spell ray minus the bosses.
never played a xeno game im afraid so i cant do that
I really want this game to remade. Me and my husband love this game!
Oh yes please. I know the guys who remade demon souls were looking at the IP, but haven't heard anything in a long while
a remake would be amazing
There have been a few rumors over the years of remakes/new games within the world, but always seems to fall through.
There's even been some solid fan-work put into upscaling the game's backgrounds, which is apparently a nightmare to do, but haven't seen an update on that project in a little over a year now. (Though shoutout to Zychronix and everyone else who were working on it. Same guy(s) who created the Hell Mode mod, i believe.)
I saw this after getting out of the hospital from a foot surgery and I'm excited to watch this.
hey Primal, you should look into Severed Chains, it's a reverse-engineered project of LoD with plenty of work being done on it
With Lohan available? Pretty op
They need to make a remake for this game!!!!
100% agree with you
What a madman, I would not wish this on anyone. We didn't even have best girl Kongol to tide us over.
wow u are awesome for doing this.. i have done this but to lvl 35 in the shrine.. wheewwww this my 2nd fav game of al time
now i read a comment for Xenosaga,, u have to try all 3 episodes they are great games with great stories..there is also a 7 hr cut scene movie for each episode.
I believe u will enjoy these games.if not play then atleast try to watch the cut scene movies...
Ultimate wargod counts twards completed and full SP. It's lower is wargod which halves the SP and damage and does not count as completed. They are a subotimal choice each, Cause perfected use does open the slot up to damage reduction ultimate gear instead. But it's good anyways.
Primal doing an overpowered on LoD is a fucking dream. I'm so happy right now!!
😎👍👍
I've honestly never played Legend of Dragoon but love the commentary regardless.
The bgm in this video is so calming. Is this from a game? Because for some reason it seems kind of familiar to me
beatrix's theme from ff9
This was really fun to watch, as well as unexpected! What i mean is that i usually don't expect new videos of The Legend of Dragoon from bigger channels, but i long for them :)
Thus i hope more The Legend of Dragoon content could come in the future. I know though that it's difficult to make content about The Legend of Dragoon. Maybe when Severed Chains reach its final release and bigger and more complex mods begin to drop, new youtube content about TLOD could be done easier. Or maybe when a Remake finally comes from Sony.
The Legend of Dragoon is my absolute favorite game of all time. It stands at the top of my list with a 10/10 (maybe it's not a 10/10, but it's personal :P), closely followed by Dragon Age Origins at second place (9.9/10) and the third place goes to Mass Effect trilogy (9.8/10) :)
For Dragon Age and Mass Effect the franchises are still alive and kicking, but not the same can be said for TLOD. :( I wish so much for a full PS5 Remake of it to finally come. I hate how Sony is totally neglecting their JRPG history. Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, Wild Arms... there are so many...
Either way, i think i went way off chart lol i enjoyed this content and i hope for more about The Legend of Dragoon.
PS. Severed Chains is a fan made PC Port of The Legend of Dragoon that will remove emulation completely and allow us full mods support (that means mods for highly detailed 3D models, mods for new additions or even Shana additions, mods for new quests etc.)
@@melbu6311 this game is my Nostalgic GOAT and a biased review score of 17/10
I'd love to see a "How Overpowered" video for Xenogears!
What would your preferred threshold be?
@@chozengaming8547 no idea 😂
never played xenogears before
@@Primalliquid92 could do a full playthrough series and then an overpowered video
Is next weeks video 'Final Fantasy 5 Pixel Remaster Platinum Trophy Guide Part 1" ?
no, the platinum series comes back in Jan
For those who don't know Additions do count when using the Ultimate Wargod accessory. When it said do additions completely, it means it.
I never knew that because I've actually never used the item. Much better accessories to use, especially for Lavitz/King Albert and I never had any trouble with the addition system.
Amazing run, thanks for your sacrifice for our entertainment!
More to come!
if you get lavitz to his last addition before the second hellana raid, the rest of the game is easy. he is a beast in killing boss. he does at least twice as much damage as the rest each turn. equip him with bandit's ring or defensive rings, have plenty of healing potions, and throw the occasional power up and speed up on him for more overpowering status.
Any day with a LoD video is a good day. Bonus points for it being Primal's brand of video.
So many memories of failing every single addition, when I was a kid
A quicker way to do the exp exploit is instead of waiting till 1 character hits level 60 and swap him out. Swap out the character at level 40-50 since he'll still be earning exp in the background and can't kill him off. Also I'd use dart last as i don't think you can swap him out
It is just about torchering you.... like a mature dental work done with gaming 👌 great stuff
I used to have an idea for a crazy grind in this game but never had the patience to actually follow through. My crazy grind idea was only about 1/3 of what you did here lol
Hell-in-a prison is how I pronounce it
Primal, you NEVER have to ask if I'm ready to see you waste hundreds of hours of your life.
The answer is ALWAYS yes!
i always level dart to 10 before i leave the first forest. because you arent sharing EXP it doesnt really take that long. also im maxing out his additions anyway so by the time you get double slash and volcano to 80 you already hit level 8 for burning rush. and by the time you get that maxed out you should be level 10 anyway so i max out his additions than continue. then in hellena before i get shana i get lavitz maxed out on his additions again prioritzing gaining as much xp without splitting 3 ways as possible
I just downloaded this earlier and thought to myself, this looks like a game primal liquid would play 😅, it’s my first time playing so might not follow suit just yet!
Omg this game so many childhood memories
I used the dragon newt spot to get 30k gold lol to get 3 of the ultimate WarGods. Lol highly not recommended but you also worth it lol makes the game to easy.
I didn’t push things all the way to max level…
But man, it’s a reward when you find yourself enjoying the game the way it wasn’t meant to be played.
Well, at this point you aren’t even playing anymore lol
Gust of wind dance is really really easy
@@ziegfeld4131 lavitz’s rod typhoon I would argue is the most difficult to consistently execute
Well of course you have crippling therapy debt. You do challenges like this. Lol. Love the videos man.
I love this Game!
You’re a masochist for doing this one😂
Hi Primal, Have you ever heard of Dragoon Modifier Mod ? It's an amazing custom mod for LOTD with many features . I would love to see you playing the game with this mod specially it's "Hell mode"
i cant say i have actually
It gives you access to new modifiers for additional items, extra bosses and weapons, more lvl and more fun
Thanks for ur sacrifices ❤❤❤❤
Haven't watched the video yet, but i know you are in for a hell of a time, lol
hell is a very correct word here lol
Thanks for playing one of my favorite games of all time for this series, btw
The ultimate wargod does level up additions
Now we need a 100% playthrough!
NEW PRIMALLIQUID OF MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME 😱😱😱😱
