This battle alone made me never "hate". And to this day. I do not hate. This battle was so hard for me. I was ill equipped and I believed that (hate) is what manifested in this battle.
I'm pretty sure the field sprite of the female dragon was originally suppose to be Ryu's mother and/or the the Dragon Priestess, which both BoF1 & BoF2 had (Sara & Valerie respectively).
Something interesting by the way: In the german version of BoF3 the dragon zombie's name has been shorted to "Dr.Zombi" instead of "D.Zombie". That's why me and my friends always used to call him "Doctor Zombie" ;)
BOF4 is sick as are 1 and 2, 5 is a big change, you might like it you might not but still let me second that bof3 is one of the best rpgs ever made. amazing music combined with THE best enemy skill mechanics in any game makes it a true classic
If you wonder what the Dragon Zombie ever looked like while it was alive, you can find out by playing Monster Hunter. It looks so similar to the Tigrex...another one of Capcom's creations. The dragon who gave Ryu the Fusion Gene even said that it wasn't a dragon. I guess it was a brute wyvern LOL
@operations1000 The one saying "No, you must not hate" is not Myria tho. It is that Dragon clan woman we see. Going by the other games she most likely is the ghost of Ryu's mother or sister even if she is not named specifically so, just like the voice commin from the big dragon bones in the very start of the game in this same mine.
Yes i know. About 100 people have said about it before. :P (Hyperbole) But yeah i knew about it otherwise too, but i just do not want to one-shot bosses. I mean what's the point? Bosses are supposed to be difficult.
I actually did use Kyrie on him by utter accident. I figured "one shots never kill Bosses so why waste ap, right?" I went on fighting him for a long while before at one point I accidentally hit Kyrie when I was mashing. My face must have been priceless.
i remember it took me a looong time to beat him as a kid when I finally did it felt like such an accomplishment, I still do think he is pretty hard, probably because it was just garr and Ryu.
There is an item u can get on dragon zombie if use the steal ability u can get power food but there is another item that boss have its the ultra rare item its called dragontear it says in the wikipedia chance on droping that item is 1%/128 Rare is it
@Eener1000 No that is Myria, it's always Myria talking in the darkness. That part seems extremely debatable but Dragon Zombie (or the collective spirit voices of dragons) say 'she has no right...' and calls the voice 'reviled one..why must you always interfere?' A former dragon clan member (or even Ryu's family member) cannot directly interfere as they're all dead spirits. Myria is alive. Besides no one in Ryu's family would be 'reviled'...err actually hmm his sister might. You do have a point.
I grinded at the tower for a LONG time because I was a kid and didn't know where to go. I leveled Gar to the point where he learned..."Crumble Undead"...at least I think that's what it was. When I finally got to this fight I was about ten minutes in before I remembered the move. It was a 1 hit kill.
I could be wrong, but i think the amount you have to grind to get Garr high enough level for Kyrie is sick and just not worth it. At this point in the game anyway. (maybe unless you use monopolize)
I could relate to the Ryu's empathy that day... that Garr was manipulating him to fight his friend instead of making good talks and not destroy his reputation.
i was never able to wait to get kyrie for garr before this fight. so i always just transformed into a healing dragon (can't remember the splicing) but it works pretty well.
It's Myria, it's always Myria talking when the darkness comes...she's a goddess, she's the only one who would be able to do such a thing along with Deis. The girl though is left a mystery, that's not Myria but resembles a female dragon clan member from the past.
I actually used a healing move on this guy and he actually HEALED! So i was then stuck fighting him normally. Took about 15 minutes, I didnt't mind though because the battle theme is absolutely AMAZING!
i agree pyrokenesis and eldritch fire is good i didnt even know kyrie by that point plus whats the fun in killing it in one hit wheres the challenge in that
Nah Ryu from BoF2 is long gone. This game is 1.5 ish thousand years after..the only one that's alive is Deis (Bleu) and of course Myria is revived from the first one. It indeed was Myria that the Zombie Dragon was talking to. "Reviled one" means someone who spreads negative information about something which Myria did to the dragons (twice). He also states "Why do you always restrain us?" which Myria does. Still no clue who the dragon lady is that gives you Fusion though..
this boss fight was really rough for me as a kid..i had ran out of ap restoring items going through the previous dungeon leading up to ryu becoming an adult..with no way to restore ap and didn't find any location to act as an inn this game is what made me start overbuying supplies and any form of mana restoration in case there was a long ass dungeon or dungeons with no shops or abusable monsters for ap/healing
There is literally a room in that floor just before the fight that acts totally as an inn. You even get access to it very quickly and it's available through all the dungeon. 🤦🏻♂️
I love the Adult Boss music, has a much different effect than the kid boss music. Yeah when I first fought this boss I was so unprepared, under leveled and I didn't heal up, but now when I play he's so easy since I know he's coming.
This is not the "adult" boss theme. It is the boss theme when you're fighting against another member of the dragon clan. This theme was first played when fighting against that dragon clan member inside the volcano as child Ryu as well as against the Dragon Elder in Dragnier.
Yep yep. I actually knew Kyrie one-shots him, even back in the day when i first played the game... But i never used it. Because it's excessively cheap.
Most of you posters need to understand HE DOESN'T PLAY TO MAKE THE GAME EXTREMELY EASY. Yeah theres cheap and easy ways to win each fight. Cyril is very good at this game, HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING, and doesn't need you people coaching him on how to play. Shut up and watch the video, and don't try to preach/teach him how to play. He's already an excellent player.
I never really leveled up Garr far that he learned Kyrie. I was focused on balancing levels for my party... I take him out via Ryu's Rejuvinate and just pure beatdown Garr!! That's right... No Dragon Forms either! >:D
I beat this battle about 3 hours ago. My lvls were higher and i had barbarossa for ryu, but i spent most of my AP training and making money before blowing the rock up. i used pyro with garr and thunder whelp with ryu. bone dance is annoying as hell. great game. hard to believe it's 10 years old.
if Garr was level 26 you can defet this boss with one hit they say, but it would take time to make him grow to that level and it won't be fan if you can kill this boss with one hit.i liked this fight, was lot of fan, but i was hoping the rest of Ryu friends would have join the fight.
I understand. Bosses should be challenging. It's that simple. On an unrelated note... that skeleton's supposed to be a dragon? It looks more like a mutant lizard that never visited the dentist.
Bone Dance & Rotten Breath is excessively cheap too! It's only fair j/k j/k lol. Yah next time imma use your strategy of pyro + flame claw - thanks for the tip. W/o fire skills or kyrie this battle is just TOO painful.
Am I the only RPG player who heals status effects during battle? Everytime I see someone play this or any RPG for that matter they never cure there party members if they're poisoned or something.
Isn't the entrance of this boss super cool? Disembodied voice echos, pool of blood forms on the ground and grows in size and BAM! Dragon zombie apperas. This is such a great game. A shame the series is dead atm. Screw Final Fantasy and Star Ocean and crud like that, give us another old school BoF!
I don't like how Ryu has no parents in this one and he's like the lone dragon..they coulda done that better and had him meet his parents in Dragonier or something instead of a perverted old elder guy :P
I'd say 30ish based on the AP amount.. which is pretty high for here, another reason why this was easier fight for him...trust me this guy is fricken hard first time around average level no kyrie!!
This guy is so gonna get it on my replay...I'm not gonna Kyrie him cuz that's just gay but he's gonna pay. I'm gonna be so overleveled and use a fire property weapon and fire spear (I think Garr gets that before this point?) and everything! Him & Myria are definately going down easier this time..oh and that damn Angler fish too - won't bring Nina this time I guess. Btw who the hell is talking to him when it gets dark?? Myria or a former dragon..or Teepo??
I got my revenge on this guy in my re-run through the game. 2 hits instead of like 30+ . lvl 24 & 19 respectively. Focus, Last Resort, Beserk, Shadowwalk / Super Combo just shouldn't exist lol..way too cheap stacked...woulda been more damage if Nina was there with War Shout too :P
This guy is so fucking hard! Or just fucking annoying..most annoying boss EVER with his damn bone dance. I got mad at Garr for killing this A-hole. Took me like 20 minutes to beat him! I didn't think of flame one, I used Eldrich and Restored him. Did more DPT but only able to sustain that for 3 turns so the rest of the battle was painful. Thanks for the tip for next run!!
"You must not hate" that line stuck with me as a kid and I refuse to "hate" anyone. Hatred is a scary thing, it manifests death. Like the US Govt.
Best rpg on playstation
This battle alone made me never "hate". And to this day. I do not hate. This battle was so hard for me. I was ill equipped and I believed that (hate) is what manifested in this battle.
use healing spells on the dragon since its a zombie it hurts it
@@street31000 if you become a apprentice of hondara, you can even hit kill this boss with kyrie
also Garr learns it by just leveling i think it was lvl 21
Just use Kyrie
They dont make RPGs like this anymore. man i miss playin this game. Was the best Breath of fire in the series by far.
I'm pretty sure the field sprite of the female dragon was originally suppose to be Ryu's mother and/or the the Dragon Priestess, which both BoF1 & BoF2 had (Sara & Valerie respectively).
Same here man. She must be his mother.
Maybe that was the sister of the ryu in BOF1...
@@cainespade514. I think it's his mother. Sarah didn't have wings, while Valerie does.
Only one word: KYRIE!!!!
First time, this guy was tough. Then i learned the weakness of every undead XD
Something interesting by the way: In the german version of BoF3 the dragon zombie's name has been shorted to "Dr.Zombi" instead of "D.Zombie". That's why me and my friends always used to call him "Doctor Zombie" ;)
OMG das habe ich auch immer gedacht!! :D Doktor Zombie FTW
BOF4 is sick as are 1 and 2, 5 is a big change, you might like it you might not but still let me second that bof3 is one of the best rpgs ever made. amazing music combined with THE best enemy skill mechanics in any game makes it a true classic

One of the hardest bosses you fight up that point-- when you don't use Kyrie.
His ability to confuse your party can make for a hard battle
@operations1000 The one saying "No, you must not hate" is not Myria tho. It is that Dragon clan woman we see. Going by the other games she most likely is the ghost of Ryu's mother or sister even if she is not named specifically so, just like the voice commin from the big dragon bones in the very start of the game in this same mine.

Bosses are supposed to be difficult.
I have a lot of nostalgic attatchment to the gameboy advance version of the first game, this game looks awesome, do you recommend it to me?
You must not hate. I love these messages in this game. Good advice too.
Easily one of the best RPGs on the Playstation.
I actually did use Kyrie on him by utter accident. I figured "one shots never kill Bosses so why waste ap, right?" I went on fighting him for a long while before at one point I accidentally hit Kyrie when I was mashing. My face must have been priceless.

There is an item u can get on dragon zombie
if use the steal ability u can get power food but there is another item that boss have
its the ultra rare item its called dragontear it says in the wikipedia chance on droping that item
is 1%/128 Rare is it
2019 and still playing this game (PSP version) on a PS Vita (R.I.P. 2011-2019)
here in 2021 i play it on android handy
@Eener1000 No that is Myria, it's always Myria talking in the darkness.

Kyrie.
I could be wrong, but i think the amount you have to grind to get Garr high enough level for Kyrie is sick and just not worth it. At this point in the game anyway. (maybe unless you use monopolize)
The way he says "you have no right!" makes me think it's Myria since she's the one that ordered his death to begin with.
I counted about 60 physical hits from both of them when I played it, took a while on lowlevels
I could relate to the Ryu's empathy that day... that Garr was manipulating him to fight his friend instead of making good talks and not destroy his reputation.
i was never able to wait to get kyrie for garr before this fight. so i always just transformed into a healing dragon (can't remember the splicing) but it works pretty well.

Ah, I'm right behind you following your vids. Just got to this area. (Hated this mine, too long and didn't level up Garr enough) =p
I read some years ago you can obtain from this battle the DRAGON TEAR but it never happened to me. Anyone obtained it?
Awsome! Great video! I love this part of the game. That Dragon really hurts.
I like the way you think.
yeah, go for it :) I don`t like the previous BOF Games THAT much, but this one was really good.
Garr was helpless with his attack on less in was his normal attack. I remmeber being scared when playing this part of the game. Luv it though.
I actually used a healing move on this guy and he actually HEALED! So i was then stuck fighting him normally. Took about 15 minutes, I didnt't mind though because the battle theme is absolutely AMAZING!
Curative items heal zombies.
Its heal spells that hurt them if i remember right.
Or is it the other way around cant remember anymore..
@@marcusbullock630 heal spells hurt them.
i agree pyrokenesis and eldritch fire is good i didnt even know kyrie by that point plus whats the fun in killing it in one hit wheres the challenge in that
Oh and having a Flare Sword helped instead of using Feather Sword since he's strong against wind and weak against fire.
Nah Ryu from BoF2 is long gone. This game is 1.5 ish thousand years after..the only one that's alive is Deis (Bleu) and of course Myria is revived from the first one.
It indeed was Myria that the Zombie Dragon was talking to. "Reviled one" means someone who spreads negative information about something which Myria did to the dragons (twice). He also states "Why do you always restrain us?" which Myria does.
Still no clue who the dragon lady is that gives you Fusion though..
Wow an old upload...Ive herd this fight can be cheesed completely if you or Garr happens to have the Kirie spell which wastes undead.
It's Kyrie, but yes, you can do that.
this boss fight was really rough for me as a kid..i had ran out of ap restoring items going through the previous dungeon leading up to ryu becoming an adult..with no way to restore ap and didn't find any location to act as an inn
this game is what made me start overbuying supplies and any form of mana restoration
in case there was a long ass dungeon or dungeons with no shops or abusable monsters for ap/healing
There is literally a room in that floor just before the fight that acts totally as an inn. You even get access to it very quickly and it's available through all the dungeon. 🤦🏻♂️
I would highly recommend BoF IV :) I actually haven't played this one but it seems pretty awesome as well.
@Cyril86 I agree, but if you're at this point in the game and you're severely underleveled then this boss can be a bitcharoonie
I love the Adult Boss music, has a much different effect than the kid boss music.
Yeah when I first fought this boss I was so unprepared, under leveled and I didn't heal up, but now when I play he's so easy since I know he's coming.
This is not the "adult" boss theme. It is the boss theme when you're fighting against another member of the dragon clan. This theme was first played when fighting against that dragon clan member inside the volcano as child Ryu as well as against the Dragon Elder in Dragnier.
Yep. And it also uses some of the soundboard instruments used in BOF1 and 2. Throwback theme.
Yep yep. I actually knew Kyrie one-shots him, even back in the day when i first played the game...
But i never used it. Because it's excessively cheap.

I can't get the ps emulator for it, please someone help.
ePSXe
Actually I'm sorry my second run-through was more like 2 minutes lol. Cheap skills (not Kyrie or heal)
if Garr was level 26 you can defet this boss with one hit they say, but it would take time to make him grow to that level and it won't be fan if you can kill this boss with one hit.i liked this fight, was lot of fan, but i was hoping the rest of Ryu friends would have join the fight.
sweet i need help on this game im when his grown up but im stuck ..on the ship place
that is a dragon. Disregard the bad translation.
if it werent a dragon then why did it drop a dragon gene?
you mean the annimite boss on the top?i still dont know how to go in the middle XD
this mine area gave me bad vibes...it told you something bad was going to happen and this fight proved it...
FUUUUUUUCK, playing again.
(but to be honest i replay this twice a year so you merely sped up the process)
GOTY, EVERY YEAR!
IMA GET FF7 ISO if you wanna know where name the best anime and this is not spam for real i just got bof3 and 4 also dbz legends
the first time i fought this dragon i died so many times i didnt want to waste time leveling up either.. had to bring a couple lvls up to beat him :(
Try Using Potions and Healing magic Against it as well. You'll see!
Dude, use heal magic on him, takes him down way faster. Or level Garr to 26 and use Kyrie. One hit kill!
wicked boss music.
yah, I revisited the first one and its...pretty...um.......traditional as hell!
SHIT the two Genes next two fire to do right what are they and where do i get em
no that guy Ben talks to this guy and he wont answer me and i keep attacking him...
I usually want my fights to be challenging y'know. :P
how could you do it in a 1 hit KO?
I understand. Bosses should be challenging. It's that simple. On an unrelated note... that skeleton's supposed to be a dragon? It looks more like a mutant lizard that never visited the dentist.
Bone Dance & Rotten Breath is excessively cheap too! It's only fair j/k j/k lol. Yah next time imma use your strategy of pyro + flame claw - thanks for the tip. W/o fire skills or kyrie this battle is just TOO painful.

If you have Kyrie, use that once and it dies. BADABING, BADABOOM.
It should be obvious.
I didn't want the fight to be too easy.
I felt your pain, trust me...25 minutes of hell the first time around. I enjoyed the 6 minutes of ease the second run-through though..sweet revenge!
How much hp does this thing have? :P
i fought that zombie with my ryu lvl 16 and garr lvl 15. it was rly hard.
No.
Kyrie != Challenge.
Challenge = Good.
In lvl 20 or something Garr learns Kyrie, and kan K.O. this meany to hell. Love BoF 3.
I don't like how Ryu has no parents in this one and he's like the lone dragon..they coulda done that better and had him meet his parents in Dragonier or something instead of a perverted old elder guy :P

good game
if u want it kill it quick and easy just use kyrie if u have it...
I ALWAYS have trouble with this guy...
I did this fight without using shortcuts (Kyrie, you know...).
Lmao, flame guy leveling ftw (it's been awhile, I forgot the actual term)
This was a stupid battle. Every turn was Bone Dance until he ran out of MP(for me that was an hour later though). Loved the rest of the game though.
Fought him so many times. This time I will get Kyrie and skip him for fuck sake so annoying.
This guy is so gonna get it on my replay...I'm not gonna Kyrie him cuz that's just gay but he's gonna pay. I'm gonna be so overleveled and use a fire property weapon and fire spear (I think Garr gets that before this point?) and everything! Him & Myria are definately going down easier this time..oh and that damn Angler fish too - won't bring Nina this time I guess.
Btw who the hell is talking to him when it gets dark?? Myria or a former dragon..or Teepo??
I hate this boss. He killed me and I had to go back FIVE SAVES. God it took another hour to come back.
*Sigh*...
Why can't people UNDERSTAND I DON'T WANT THE FIGHTS TO BE TOO EASY DAMMIT!!
ahh lol wow
I got my revenge on this guy in my re-run through the game. 2 hits instead of like 30+ . lvl 24 & 19 respectively. Focus, Last Resort, Beserk, Shadowwalk / Super Combo just shouldn't exist lol..way too cheap stacked...woulda been more damage if Nina was there with War Shout too :P
just heal him :P or kyrie
Pullltzzz...
O Dragoon Zombie realmente é o mais chato de todo o jogo...
MAs nada que uma boa estratégia não resolva!
dont know of that lvl thing i just hardcore fanboy played the shit out of the game XD and was at lvl 30 at the first boss :P
he died in 1 hit :D
