So, in what feels like forever ago I was playing through Doomblade 666's challenge hack for the original Shining Force but I didn't actually finish the game. I got all the way to Dark Dragon and then just stopped. Well here's a quick post about why that happened. Other than being sick and having no energy for such a game I also ran into the massive amounts of damage Dark Dragon could do with their spells.
The best I ever managed to do was killing the ice and fire heads but a whole bunch of times the team didn't even get that far. For instance...
... Earnest could be and was at times killed by a critical cast of Hail 2 from full health. This would always be an immediate reset because Earnest was my best attacker we couldn't afford to lose him early on.
Especially not when the central head, the lightning one, has the Storm spell and it hits extremely hard. All three heads have max casting and effect ranges with their respective spells too. That Storm spell that killed Max was not a critical hit. That's what the spell does in terms of damage which few team members can survive.
There's a reason the hack had to be updated and revised. I'm just too stubborn to use the updates.
