Here's no. 9:


9) Beating the trio

Game- Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean

Baten Kaitos is known to have one of the most difficult (and challenging) boss battles in RPG games. Even in ordinary encounters you had to think steadily and not rush into the fight. In boss battles, you had to think 3 turns ahead and organize you deck according to your opponent's weak and stong points. This gave the game a whole new level of in-depthstrategy, and is one of the things that made the game so awesome.

One particular battle came into my mind, the battle against Giacomo and his two followers (I forgot their names...) on the the airship. I had to fight against 3 very powerful enemies simultaneously. I lost the first 2 times, but that was enough for me to analyse their weaknesses, so I arranged my deck accordingly and fought them again. I had one of the most exciting boss battles ever, it really felt like I deserved the win because I actually came up with a tactic. One of the the three enemies was able to play 2 consecutive turns (it was really annoying) so I decided to get rid of him first then take care of the other two...and the tactic worked perfectly.

The feeling I got by winning this battle was awesome...especially that this battle wasn't any ordinary battle. I know a friend who actually restarted the game from the beginning because he couldn't beat them....ya, its that hard. Baten Katios does have one of the best boss battles where thinking and strategy aren't choices, they're mandatory.


Just decided to share my list of most anticipated games (in order of most aniticpated):

- StarCraft 2 (PC) (you can't imagine how badly I want to play this game...)
- Zelda Wii (Wii)
- Metroid: Other M (Wii)
- Bioshock 2 (PC)
- Mass Effect 2 (PC)
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
- Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2 (PC)
- New Super Mario Bros 4 (Wii)
- Crysis 2 (PC)
- Assassins Creed 2 (PC)
- Fifa 10 (PC)

Thanks for reading

I remember beating Gacomo twice and it wasn't that hard if you level up enough

Nice list of games, and Baten Kaitos did have some great moments.

Gotta love battles with bosses even though I cant tell I am good at them Lol. If I can not save the game just before the battle, I’m stuck at the same level for ages. Luckily RE and most of my favourite games allow to save before. Hugs

yeah that is definitely one of the hardest boss fights in Baten Kaitos, and one of the stupidest thing the game has done. Because at the save point where you face those three you can't level up and you can't go back either. I faced this problem and thankfully I had a save point somewhere before so I just leveled up more and I still faced some difficulty and as you said the key is killing the guy who plays two turns. If you play Baten Kaitos Origins you will have an even harder boss LOOL. Just let me know when you play it .
