Most Memorable Boss Fight

[Syrek]

I'm conflicted between two choices. The first is the first battle against Magus and the second is the Dream Devourer fight, mainly because it was very difficult until I got status immune armor for everyone.

Ocean Palace Lavos battle. The only Lavos fight you have to lose. Crono's death took me by surprise.

You don't have to lose.  I've won this fight a few times, it just takes more cautiousness.  You get the developers ending.

[Shadow D. Darkman]

I know. The reason you have to lose is to advance the story. I've won as well, and even went all the way and got The Dream Project ending. How I try to lose is to not heal my party after the Golem Sisters battle.

I'm fond of the Frog/Magus solo fight. So fond of it that I usually save, do it, and reload to recruit Magus.

[Shadow D. Darkman]

I did that with my very first run through CTDS. Never did it again, though.

[Nezz]

I've have always been partial to Lavos Core. Mainly because, well, lets be honest here, who would possibly suspect the tiny little helper acorn of to the side to be the final boss. Blew my mind.

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Agreed. You'd think the Center Bit was Lavos Core, but it wasn't. It is most dangerous of the three, with True Lavos Core being the most annoying, and the Left Bit being second-most annoying.

I still think of the center as the 'true' Lavos and that the Core basically acts as Lavos' defense & revival mechanism (seems like the fucker should learn a good healing Tech to keep it healthy though)...

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Lavos Core does know a healing Tech. I think it was the Left Bit that had it. Probably the only reason you didn't see it is b/c you didn't leave it alive long enough to heal the Center Bit.

[V_Translanka]

I mean the center should know a healing Tech specifically to heal the Core...I think the left and Core have a Double healing Tech, but yeah, the left usually takes priority so I don't usually see it anymore...

I know he's not a boss, but I have to bring this guy up since he's so special...



I also had to give props to his victory song (the DS version in this case) since most people overlook it (because who loses to Gato?)...

Heh, I pay the center and true core no mind. It's the left bit I hate. I always dispose if it with a quick Frenzy as soon as I can. While it's around, Lavos' defense stays up, and it can disable your status immunity (allowing the center bit to have a good bit of random fun with you). Center's attacks are easily healed and have never come close to exceeding my parties HP, and it doesn't take that long to rack up the damage on the true core.

[FouCapitan]

I'd have to say the series of fights between Queen Zeal, Mammon Machine, and Zeal transformed.  Doubly so with Magus in the party.

Close runners up would be Magus (fight 1), Magus vs. Frog (fight 2), and Lavos (all three forms).
