I've been waiting for this. Meru is SO overpowered. I breezed through disc 3 and 4 with her. She took down Melbu and Faust pretty much single-handedly. I wanna see how the Lavtiz video is gonna go...
Yay! Subscribed. I loved this game as a child growing up and I still firmly believe that the story, battles, world is one if not the best RPG of all time especially for the time it came out!
Taking inspiration from this series, and seeing that lonely "Rose-tier", I challenged myself yesterday with a solo Rose run.. Ya'll.. my girl is a *beast*. (a monster, even). The earliest 500% addition in the game is a power spike that carries till endgame. The power curve of her previous additions are also the smoothest out there, imo. In terms of equipment -- her fear inflicting weapon remained relevant for a surprisingly long time. And then I got the dragon buster to dispatch any doubts I have w/ the final boss once I'm there. Her dark element also makes her beefy against a fair bit of fights. AND THEN, if you wanna include her dragoon form, Astral Drain providing a 1-1 heal to damage ratio (honestly she is BUILT for solo), she's damn near untouchable. Ineffable. Our one true solo queen. Although Faust was scary at first, Astral Drain outpaced any beatings she took. Tantacles, the girl holds it *down*. I'm having a blast. Thanks for getting me hyped about LoD again :)
I love the power of Perky Step. Watching Meru become one of the best physical damage dealers after spending the whole game as essentially a dedicated mage is great. I also didn't really think too much about the extra levels they would gain but now that you mentioned it that's a really nice boost(especially the extra Hp on characters like Meru, Shana and Rose who can have some survivability issues during normal runs).
Man, this reminds me of my Casual second run where I smacked down the Divine Dragon with only Madness Hero... I maxed it out and barely crawled out alive. Bad choices were made not saving often and I didn't want to restart so I had to go all in.
Yeah, that was about how difficult I expected the Meru run to be. Smooth sailing for almost all of the game. One of the boys next or are we going to have our first inhabitant of the Rose tier?
Not gonna lie before i even started this video, i was like meru is gonna start out like shana and use mostly items for damage. I know she can deal the damage later but thats with perky step and weak mob enemies are where you farm additions for her since most bosses in her early game still deal high physical damage. Not saying she can't do it, it just takes longer in early part of getting her. Still loved the run and the 2 before this one.
Not sure if a Meru solo play through should be classified as a “Challenge” or a “Delight”, jury’s still out on that one. Lol Anyway, great video as always, and I’m looking forward to the next one.
I was considering a no additions run where you can only do all of the moves before hitting the final one where you have to miss until l realized it was incredibly boring. Items were banned.
You didn't challenge yourself you freakin love Meru. Shes your favorite character. Tantacles ever so dramatic. I'm just shocked you kept the video under 15 minutes to be honest.
One thing i realized is that final additions make this game way too easy like you start to do about 1000 per normal attack and if you have them on everybody you can do 3000 per attack and don’t even need the dragoon form if your not using meru or shana
After every Solo run it will be time for a Japanese Version (Hardmode) run. Magic Items sucks in JP Version so you will have your pain... I mean fun ^^
Menu is my favorite besides rose. Her dragoon spells are fantastic, and her rainbow breath heals everyone a decent amount. Her diamond dust also does good damage. 💕✌️💋✨️
When I play this game for fun I always stop on the ghost ship to train addition, like getting perky step there max an addition then level with the item sold on the ship. Easy overpower early but take lot of time. Well probably less worst then my Lavitz trainning when we get him in helena prison getting him level 11 and train he's last addittion max and overkill Fruegel. Guess I have to much time to waste. If you ever do the solo Kongol I wonder if its even possible without the legend casque.
>Sees the Death Counter Oooh, no. My girl gonna get slander so hard. EDIT: The end result surprised me. Meru was getting dragged around by dead weight party members.
I'm revisiting LoD because of your channel. Would you please consider doing a video on optional battles and how participating or not affects the lore and/or how to beat them? 💖
Did you do this on the ps5? When did you record these runthru vids? This must take so much time! You upload regularly so good on ya for that i love your vids!
Now this is the 2nd video in a row where where I'm asking for that Kongol run! I'll consider possibly thinking about unsubbing if you don't do big boy next! (Joking, I would never be so petty.)
With the virage 3 fight, i understand that in a solo run it's unlikely that you can defeat it within the 10 rounds. However a question on that, if it does before that 10 rounds does it drop anything that wouldn't be dropped in the self destruct?
Several things I looked say it drops healing rain regardless if beat before or after explosion. But I can't remember if or what it does drop anyway lol.
Bruh, why not use the rainbow earring in these runs? :l Immunity to all status kind of OP for a solo character. Especially for situations like that Melbu fight where you can get petrified and confused.
Honest question why do you not use the Rainbow Earring accessory instead of the Destone Amulet against Melbu if he can inflict both stone and confuse? The earring prevents both and you get it from Martel at I think 40 Stardust
@@tantacles BLASPHEMY!! hehe.. I guess I did just assume that you were since you specifically mention the Physical Ring and stuff in a lot of these. Hm. At least Meru can't one-shot herself!
@@tantacles I mean, I would be doing that anyway. But I am an over-darp, so. I do tend to go more completionist. I am currently playing the FF2 Pixel Remaster and going for the level 16 Ultima, without using the new version's boosts to growths. If you know, you know. XD
So, I noticed that you don't use the Rainbow Earring for Melbu Frama. Is that intentional since it blocks all debuffs including petrification and falls into the too overpowered category like the legend equipment?
Buuut. She has. Like. All of the magic stats. I'm pretty sur3 she can absolutely shred the majority of the game if you use turbo. (See don't want RSI.) Interested to see how this goes!
Meru is a force to be reckoned with! Not only is she a great party member normally, but she is also super good in a solo challenge!
Everybody knows Kongol is going to have an easier time clearly.
Oh god
I'm assuming Meru and Haschel will be the easiest solo runs. Hyper turn opportunities are great in these games and she's like the energizer bunny.
I've been waiting for this. Meru is SO overpowered. I breezed through disc 3 and 4 with her. She took down Melbu and Faust pretty much single-handedly.

Hahaha😂😂
The Legend of Dragoon World is Meru's queendom and she is the queen. We only get to experience it because she allows us to.
@benjaminsaragosa9869 Yeah, I always keep her in my party because I think she's cute and wears a skimpy outfit.
@benjaminsaragosa9869 respect
The Rewind feature is prolly the most underrated thing about the remake. I don’t think I would play thru again without it.
Yay! Subscribed. I loved this game as a child growing up and I still firmly believe that the story, battles, world is one if not the best RPG of all time especially for the time it came out!
Turns out yeah, she is OP even without dragoon.
I wanna see a meru and shana only.. BUT NO ITEMS

Meru was a beast. Didn’t know that until I found this channel lol

I am playing this game now because of your videos I made it to disc 3 using Dark Meru and Haschel we are all in the low 20s for levels
1:35
Legend of Mystical Ninja Awaji Island theme! I love you for using music from that game.
meru has more style in her pinky then everyone else combined
Not sure if a Meru solo play through should be classified as a “Challenge” or a “Delight”, jury’s still out on that one. Lol
Anyway, great video as always, and I’m looking forward to the next one.
Next challenge run: Kongol, Dragoon Magic Only.
Now that's torture, if you ask me. Lol
omfg her name is Shaw-na. Dart even shouts it in the final cinematic...
I was considering a no additions run where you can only do all of the moves before hitting the final one where you have to miss until l realized it was incredibly boring. Items were banned.
I'm really enjoying these solo character runs. I hope to see you run solo with each of the other characters... yeah, even Rose :)
You didn't challenge yourself you freakin love Meru. Shes your favorite character. Tantacles ever so dramatic. I'm just shocked you kept the video under 15 minutes to be honest.
She’s AMAZING
That's an epic series of LOD vids you made this past year, much respect man!
Take a shot every time you hear the word "Desciridilydoo"
10:30 Jokes on you, I was already subbed
The only reason Meru isn't the protagonist and doing this herself (in canon) is because this is a Shonen Anime, not a Shoujo
One thing i realized is that final additions make this game way too easy like you start to do about 1000 per normal attack and if you have them on everybody you can do 3000 per attack and don’t even need the dragoon form if your not using meru or shana

Albert's run is going to be horrible with his abysmal magic defense stat.
I remember Meru saying in Mille Seseau during the visit with her parents that she, was the strongest of all.
Nice having mystical ninja music in the background
So this video is another video about how Meru is objectivly best girl
💯
Come on you have to do Kongol next 😂. Even tho he's late in the game im sure you can think of a twist intill you get him
I wonder if Kongol is going into the Rose tier or if he's better than that.
Two different flavors of poop
I wonder if Rose or Kongol will be the weakest link in a solo game.
so excited for the kongol run
That Rose Tier did not age well with the solo run now out, lol.
Let the torture begin?

Your personality is so fun
Also, I love how you call them LSPs 😂
Why don’t we have a mod to start with any character we want?
>Sees the Death Counter
Oooh, no. My girl gonna get slander so hard.

Yup. Ps5! It’s just me with a mic and a dream, baby!
I also did this challenge long time ago, she's the best and can handle all alone 🤗
You can use cheats if emulating the game on pc to select all characters from the very beginning of the game. Great video!
Challenge is too easy to solo game with anyone using magic items. I want Meru/Shana solo run, without items
TEAM MERU
What about a run using dart, Shana and Meru. But you can’t buy new equipment. You can only use what you find?
Meru is my queen 👸
The question is...can you beat disks 2 - 4 with only Meru?
Now this is the 2nd video in a row where where I'm asking for that Kongol run! I'll consider possibly thinking about unsubbing if you don't do big boy next! (Joking, I would never be so petty.)
Solo kongol run. Ofc waiting
It won't work as well, he's the opposite of Meru. High HP, Physically great, but magically awful and slow.
Cough cough Rose tier cough cough
Do charm potions not stop the Bogeys from attacking you? seems like that would be the strat.
You should do a lets play of lod

Bruh, why not use the rainbow earring in these runs? :l Immunity to all status kind of OP for a solo character. Especially for situations like that Melbu fight where you can get petrified and confused.
Because I didn’t collect the stardust required to get it! 🤔
@@tantacles Well then, make like Shia Labeouf and DO IT!! 😡Faust is too interesting not to see in these runs anyway.

hehe.. I guess I did just assume that you were since you specifically mention the Physical Ring and stuff in a lot of these. Hm. At least Meru can't one-shot herself!
I would have to collect all the stardust in 7 different files XD

It’s from chrono trigger!

o7 to the kongol teir

@@tantacles Got it, ty for answering.
What's the song that starts at 9:13?
The song is called “cold as ice” by Particle House. It’s from epidemic sound.
Meru god tier xD. I dream or i see à short clip of drag race?
But what about jujubee?
@@tantacles haha tbh even if it à cool queen not my fav :p
Whats the song that plays durring the wimp boss montage?

I'm sorry you said how many minutes?
I... Feel officially bad for neglecting to properly use Meru for all this time.
whats the song you used?
Which one?
@@tantacles the 80s sounding one lol
It’s called “cold as ice” by particle house. It’s on epidemic sound!

What happened to this series?! It was the best I'm disappointed
Rose only comes out soon. 😉😉
(But the vods are public right now…)
