He HAS to kill Doma actually. Doma's scripted so that once he reaches 52 health, only the Falchion will damage him. And only Alm can wield the Falchion. Kinda bullshit if you ask me.
Researching some Gaiden stuff in preparation for the remake. I have to ask... do we know what the developers were going for with Doma's design? He appears to be half melted, his head seems somewhat horse-like, and are those arms or some kind of rotten away wings? His legs have what appears to be their muscle fiber showing at the thigh area, but everything under it looks like bone. What is that behind him, a tail or some kind of snail shell? I guess he's one of the more Lovecraftian monsters in this franchise. (Compare to, say, Formortiis' more orthodox design) Wonder how he'll be presented in the remake. Just kinda hope they drop the 'only Alm can deliver the final blow' rule. I dislike it when final bosses in this franchise can only be killed by certain characters. Both games in the Tellius series did that, and I really didn't appreciate it.
Scuttlest Well, Doma, or Duma, as he is called in the remake, is supposed to resemble an old, rotting Zombie-Dragon. And for good reason: At this point in the game, Duma has become mad with age and power, corrupting all of Rigel to betray Mila and claim all of Valentia for himself. The remake actually goes further in depth with his origins. He and Mila are Manikettes (Dragons that can shapeshift into humans, and vice versa) that once lived in the Dragon Kingdom mentioned in FE1, until he nearly pushed the society into civil war with his ideology, leading him to be banished to Valentia. So, yeah. Duma's supposed to resemble a Dragon, which is shown more clearly in the remake.
It can be tedious at times but it is certainly possible. The game does throw you some strong characters which make certain portions of the game a breeze (Mathilda, Zeke and Mycen on Alm's side and Valbo, the Pegasus trio and Deen on Celica's side). Not to mention that thanks to Alm's solo-portion in Chapter 5 he'll almost always be level 20 by the time of the final battle, so he will carry the group mostly by this point. In this run I played on easy mode, but a few months later I finished the game, without grinding, on normal mode as well. By then I knew the characters better and was able to play more efficiently.
I made this post almost a year ago when I was still new to this game. I've watched a lot of 0% growth LTC runs and know it's possible without grinding.
I like how Alm has a unique pose if he's the one to defeat Doma. Makes the battle much cooler.

+SilverHairedFreak25 Well, actually there is a widely known glitch, that causes Nosferatu to be effective as well.
ITS CALLED RESIRE USHT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
Just in Japan. Sure, this game is Japan only, but I think using established English names is not a problem.
And in the remake, as an homage to the glitch, Nosferatu is now intentionally designed to be effective vs. Duma
Doma LV20
EvilGo:Tentacles
Vs.
*Catria*
Me: Oh no
What's that supposed to mean?
@Nitori Kawashiro “Fae” I had a feeling It was something naughty but wanted to believe It was not...........
I had the same reaction but here in the remake I had Est. She somehow survived with 5 HP.
0:18 it's like one of my japanese animes

I just completed FE Echoes rn and watching this. So similar!!
I wonder what this is going to be like in the remake
Crystallized Silver well let's see. Slimy, check. Giant, check. Exposed flesh, check. Giant eye with just as giant pupil, check. Scary as hell music, check. Disturbing tentacles, check. Everything else, check. Conclusion: TERRIFYING!
It’s rather annoying to have to sit through Duma shaking off his hangover every time you fight him.
Doma's attack: ,,Tentacle'' ( i've seen too much memes to know where this is going.)
Has this translation been released? I'd very much like to play it. :D
@VinchenzRock Late reply but Artemis251 released this patch back in 2009. You can download it at romhacking.
Can someone explain to me how Doma ended up being like this? He doesn't look like a strong god. He looks more like an abomination!
sumerian88 perhaps raw power
Dragon Alzheimer's.
How do you play this game without grinding?
You Don't.
Why is everyone saying that? I've beaten the game without it just fine.
