star ocean (sphere 211)

[lord shishio]

I heard that the final bosses in sphere 211 are really hard, and that you should be on LV 255 if u want any chance of beating them. I'm on 156, and by gaining a level every floor, i hope to be up to 255 by the time I reach these bosses. Anyways, are they really that hard? and if so, can you give me some tips on how to beat them?
It would be greatly appreciated, thx. :)

Not only should you be at level 255, you should also have +4000 attack stuck on to every weapon, and have the best defensive measures you can take. In addition, get a full supply of every form of stun bomb you can, full supplies of all ressurrection items, and as much healing stuff as you can muster.

I've not tried to fight them, because I unlocked Universe difficulty, which I'm going to one-character. =D

I'm gonna put this in General Square Enix. :D

you actually want, 8 atk&def+30% on the veinslay weapon for fayt,with a noots of prowess with an atk&def+30% and a tri emblum (from the santa merchant) this should take you to 5,000DEF (at lvl 255) making all attacks aparat from AAA's and symbology deal a grat big 0...mwahahahaha...
this also works with mirage...(evil grin)

at this point ethereal blast is your friend.

[lord shishio]

thx, ethareal blast would be my friend at least if it would work, i hold down the attack button and he just stands there. Could anyone give me some help plz?

(level update, i have now reached 255 and am ready 2 take on these bitches)

[sephiroth9006]

Fayt setup
Weap=veinslay (w/ATK&DEF+30%x8)
Armour=Valiant mail (W/DEF+20x8)
Accesory=boots of prowess(w/ATK&DEF+30%)
Accesory=Tri emblum(one from the saanta merchant)

Xshort:side kick
Xlong:none
Oshort:side kick
Olong:Ethereal blast
support1:standby healing
support2:common support symbols

now take berserk off so that you are always hit for 0HP&MP by all attacks execpt for when your hit by symbology and AAAs.
and that is against anything,even so symbology does insufficant damage to even scratch you.(Tip use all the healt+ and magi+ berries on fayt you do that you have a pracitcally IMMORTAL character,it is the ultimate way to gain BTs at lvl255)
with that set up you won't need luck,you'll win full stop.

[lord shishio]

thanks sephiroth :)

They aren't actually hard, they just take awhile to kill, whats hard is getting battle trophies from them.

[sephiroth9006]

with the setup i suggested they all become as hard as the easy difficulty setting,including people like lenneth,freya,fayt&????
like that you can run right in nad beat them up while taking no damage,against lenneth with this setup i easily earned loads of BTs,including beat her on your own,but anywho,yeah like that your immortal and can easily get all the Bts from the urssa temple as well.

[lord shishio]

aeet, I've only got 1 boss left in the game to beat, freya. She refuses to die!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear I've tried her 30 times at least, the most I've lsted so far is, about 3 minutes.
With her ether strike, I either have to have good timing to stop it, or use an item to disrupt it. But she always manages to get it in eventually!!!!!!!!!!! :mad2:
The other bosses were easy, though ethereal queen was a little challlenging, so any help on freya would be great, thx.

[sephiroth9006]

freya is eaiser then fayt&????...i thought
but just use the setup i said and you'll be fine,yeah it's time consuming and takes alot of fol,but its worth it,just use that you'll win..

[lord shishio]

?????thats odd, I beat fayt on my first try, but i'll try you're set-up????????

[sephiroth9006]

on the fayt&???? battle theres two of them,which does tend to make it harder for you,especially on the universe difficulty. but when you get the 4D difficulty setting,that's when you begin to get frustrated...freya is near damn impossable on that mode,only took me 4 hours to beat her on that....
but yeah,as i said that setup on galaxy/universe is near foolproof,with that setup,you'd have to be a really bad player to lose.

[Ultima Shadow]

As far as I know, Fayt&???? can ONLY be harder on 4D mode. On normal and universe, Freya is a lot tougher.

Oh, and ATK&DEF+30%x8 is just crazy. It's so frustrating to get ATK&DEF+30% on a Weapon. I actually just added a ATK&DEF+30%x4 on Albels Weapon, myself. :p I didn't even use Fayth when I defeated Freya. I used Sophia, Albel and Maria. :greenie:

[sephiroth9006]

yeah that is a good strat though.
ether strike does nothing.
but yeah you just do that and you cannot lose.

[Ultima Shadow]

But not being able to lose is no fun at all. :greenie:

[sephiroth9006]

but then again,i only do that to get certain BTs i don't have, like defeat w/o taking damage and stuff...makes getting them so much easier.

[yuffielover]

I am on floor 166 and my characters are already near level 200!

[Sion E Atlasia]

Galaxy mode i cheaped out the game doing 8 x Boots of Prowess on Fayt. That certainly wasen't fun at all. Universe was much more interesting, as i replaced Fayt with Maria. Cliff couldn't get past 5000 DEF, but with protection casted on him, he nullified Freya's attacks.

As for 2P Fayt, he definately was hard. Then again, i tried to beat him first thing after finishing the main game. Didn't work out that way until i got half way through the Maze of Tribulations, went back, and beat him at level 74.
