This Game Rocks on INFERNO.

[DJMatus]

Just sayin'. This is the best hardcore YS experience I have had since Ys Origin Nightmare Boss Rush mode.

Long live Adol the RED!

[Doomlord]

Yep. Inferno is amazing.

until you meet a certain boss who will make you frustrated

[Doomlord]

Unless he's Dark Fact tier bullsh*t I'll be fine.

nah he's not dark fukt tier of cheapness, just that this boss hits pretty hard and has a weird pattern with big AOEs

[SureShot]

As one who really enjoyed the solo Ys games on the highest difficulties, I feel like Ys 8 gives you so much leniency with both Flash Evade and Flash Guard. I was expecting FG only (i.e. Ys 7). Not sure if it's good or bad as I just started.

I like the party games but the solo ones I think will always be my favorite (Ys O in particular).

Biggest issue I had with that f*ggot is that I went into the fight with literally no items whatsoever. Ended up just taking pot shots at him with Laxia till he eventually died.

Inferno bosses have a bit too much health imo. And imo only a bunch of bosses are really fun to fight at nightmare/inferno (mostly the solo bosses).

Well to be fair its balanced around it too. There's some bosses that basically have no opening at all if you dont flash them. I felt it was a pretty lame mechanic at first as well, but it gets pretty cool later on.

Btw, there's a decent amount of solo fights in this game as well (mostly Dana solo).

Inferno shouldn't have allowed item use which trivializes every single boss fight.
As long as you use consumables then it doesn't matter which difficulty you play on.

[Doomlord]

Inferno has a pretty steep limit on them, though, so if you can't git gud at guarding/dodging you're pretty much f*cked considering almost everything oneshots you.

No man, game is literally braindead no matter what you do.
Having 9 of each rez item (4 x 9 not including potions) + all the healing stuff just makes any difficulty a joke.

[DJMatus]

I thought you couldn't use any items in Inferno -Catastrophe mode?

I'm not sure if thats in the game..if it is its locked on first playthrough, which has only regular Inferno.

That said, items are heavily limited. Like...empty bottles are one time use. Tho for some reason fruits are still a thing. All consumable items and stuff require a lot more to make (and you get less for farming) on higher difficulties tho.

That's not ''no matter what you do'' youd have to grind pretty hard to have that many res items on nightmare or inferno. Isn't going to help all that much either, since bosses dont stop attacks when you die. You can potentially get killed right as you revive.
Plus, revive items are useless on solo fights. Only self-res equips work there. (and just once each).


I mean I'm all for no items Inferno, but then the boss and mob health would really need to drop hard. (and the slowdowns during heavy attacks fixed). Atleast the party balanced bosses~

What Catastrophe mode? I think you got confused with Naphishtim.
Inferno allows full item use, but discards all bottles upon usage.

Not true. I'm currently no-hitting all of the inferno bosses and a lot of the time I ask myself if they're really supposed to have such little amount of hp? (based on past ys experience)

I literally 2 cycled Oceanus. Most boss fights don't last longer than 2 minutes. That being said, if you don't flash guard and look for openings instead then I can see boss fights taking much longer.
