I beat Ys I last night, and holy crap Dark Fact was annoying. He really wasn't too difficult, but it still took me a bunch of tries. Every time I fought him I always managed to get his health down to just one or two more hits to kill him, and that's when I got stuck in a corner where he slaughtered me. Damn those last couple of hits.
Now, onward to Ys II! Why have I never played an Ys game before? This game was awesome!
The final boss theme was enough to help me get through that fight since it's one of my favorite tracks from the game. I just hope I won't rage too much if I do replay it and try it on Nightmare difficulty.
That boss drove me insane and will likely be one of the main reasons I will likely never beat Ys I again. I'm not a huge Ys I fan, but Ys II is a much, much better game. Enjoy!Originally Posted by Chelli
Yep, things only get better from there. Ys II is amazing, and then Felghana and Seven (and Napishtim) await! (:

I retried the boss so many times that I decided it'd be easier and take less time (lol) to go on easy difficulty. One-shot him there. On the basis of the difference there, I figure nightmare final boss must be impossible. Many people lament about how easy bosses are these days, but this last boss isn't one of those!
I'm glad to hear things only get better. I was skeptical about the bump system when I first started playing, and it took a bit to get used to it, but once I got the hang of it the game became incredibly enjoyable.
I might replay Ys I before starting Ys II and follow the walkthrough in the instruction manual step by step. When I finished the game I was missing some items, and though I know whatever I missed wasn't necessary, it would be nice to have everything. Plus it would only take about another five hours to play through again now that I know what to do (took me about seven the first time).
Yeah, well, my first experience with ol' Dark fact was in the DS version of Ys I. Let's just say he was a pushover.
That experience didn't prepare me at all for fighting Dark Fact at his normal freakishly-difficult level of, well, difficulty! Needless to say, the playing field in the DS version was much larger, to accomodate the stylus-based control scheme, I think. I could dodge his shots. It was a sad, saaad day for Dark Fact.
Anyways, I'm not looking forward to certain bosses in Ys II, but that's a worry for later! I have Trails in the Sky to deal with for now! Hooray for TitS!
YOU SHALL BE LIKE ASH IN THE WIND!

My first time fighting him was : OMGWTF why did the best sword in the game didn't do any damage to him!!
After repeating it for 20 times. In the next day, re-climb from Floor 1 of Darm Tower while reading all of the text (I'm playing Japan version, btw), then tried to use Silver. And it works!? O RLY?
I was already finished YS II at that time, and in the II, the silver sword is clearly called Cleria... and... that was a bad experience...
I watched some videos on Youtube of Ys I bosses in an earlier version of the game (I think it was the first version of Books I + II that came out in the US), and some of the bosses actually look easier than they are in this version. Vagullion seemed to materialize far more frequently, and have less bats to attack with, than in this one and Dark Fact looked like he had less health.
I wouldn't be too worried. Ys I's bosses are WAY tougher. If you've beaten Ys I Chronicles, you should have no trouble at all with Ys II Chronicles!Anyways, I'm not looking forward to certain bosses in Ys II, but that's a worry for later!
