Hey everyone, as this is my last video of 2024, I wanted to thank everyone for the support this year. It's been fun making a wide variety of challenge videos, and I'm glad that so many of you enjoy them. It's funny how Poler took the honor of year-end video again; maybe it'll become a tradition.
This gave me the image of Leviathan watching this fight on a monitor with that subtitle, like it's a news segment, and wondering why her army is so inept.
I swear, whoever made Poler must have forgotten that Zero can wall-kick and charge weapons. I'm bad at these games, but I still found this boss pathetically easy.
Z2's boss difficulty can be inconsistent. On one side, you have fights like Poler and Elpizo's second form, and on the other, you have Phoenix Magnion and the sheer chaos that is Burble.
@@DZ-Three I made the mistake of fighting Phoenix first. It was the Legacy Collection version with Save Assist on, and I had to make, like, 30 attempts to finally beat the damn thing. After that, I just looked up locations of Sub Tanks, and beating everyone else was much easier. Needless to say, I would never attempt a no-hit run, that requires some amazing mastery of the game.
@@xellis8434 There is one nice benefit to fighting Phoenix first, which is that any Pantheons in the other three stages get removed after defeating him. That, and getting Tenshouzan early if you're not playing on a new game plus file.
The first time i fought him,i lost. I felt immense shame and proceeded to accept i'll never be good at this game,even after attaining ultimate form (Also its a guy from what ive seen)
Even an easy boss will catch you off guard when fighting for the first time; it's pretty much the nature of the game. Poler's story is a bit odd. The English version's manual specifies female, so given that I write in English, I stick with that despite playing the Japanese version. Not that it really matters in the end.
Yeah, it looks easy but I swear, I also tried to use saber against him years ago. I eventually concluded that this is not the way to go. Pressing left or right just a millisec too long can easily cause a contact damage. So I thought the easiest way is to use whatever else except saber (laugh).
The spacing to land uncharged Saber hits safely is the most difficult technical aspect of this challenge. Thankfully, I have prior experience doing the same thing against AP Fefnir, which is much harder, so this took less time to get accustomed to than it otherwise would. You're right that using any other weapon is a superior option. Uncharged Chain Rod only is much more reasonable while still constituting a minimalist challenge.
