is it possible to defeat...

Post by **KFCrispy** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 9:18 am

the super-strong Marshalls in Thomas Chapter 2? i think a place listed them as 65000 HP, and i forgot if there is a time limit for the battles, but this would be an interesting challenge. Thomas can recruit Nei/Toppo/Shabon, Augustine (only Rose Brooch, no Whites available), Jefferson (if u can get the medal set for Aug u can bump him to S), Jeane, Twaikin if necessary.. and i think Thomas, Juan, and Piccolo are mandatory party members, only giving u 3 choices. I don't think Thomas can fight treasure bosses though! the team would desparately need Double-Strikes if there is a round limit.

also, the first major battle in Chapter 4 - while it seems impossible, is it allowable to defeat Luc & gang? this would need a ton of preparation--maxed skills and lots of equipment finding/buying during Chapter 3 of each main character.. and who exactly gets to be in this battle, who had to have recruited them......

Yes, it can be done, I had Augustine, Thomas, Cecile, Piccolo, Juan and Mel.
Augustine/Juan/Cecile.
Mel/Piccolo/Thomas.
Strategy: Take them out 1 by 1.
Augustine uses Red Rose constantly. Mel uses her Devil doll atk, after this use her for both atks and healing. Juan human shield for piccolo, attacks and heals. Piccolo uses his lightning rune spells, if he runs out he heals instead of Juan. Cecile and Thomas both Atk and heal eachother.
I don't know what lvs they were, but this was the way I beat them. Btw they have 6500 hp and the battle only stops when either they or you are defeated.

Every time I have fought them there has definitely been a turn limit. I've always recruited Watari and Ayame in Thomas' chapters and I use them in that battle; the Marshalls usually can't even hit them at all, making it more or less impossible for my party to be wiped out. I also kept my entire party alive so it's not just a matter of losing a certain number of characters. The battle always ended on its own eventually.

i think i remember waiting to die or the thing to end because i thought they were impossible to kill and my characters (especially Cecile) were too strong and taking way too little damage. so i kept defending, which boosts defense more, but it was supposed to save time cuz they wouldn't attack... i think it did auto-end after a long time, though.

6500 HP seems pretty easy, actually.

is there a special scene that occurs or does Thomas' party still comment about how strong they are?

I played it recently and can confirm it does end after a couple of turns if neither you or them is defeated.

i'm going to use Code Breaker to keep my characters alive as long as possible in order to see if i can win the strategy battle coming out of 4. it will be interesting... i mean, if you can defeat them and you're not supposed to... and the map is clean.... O_o
