Let's Play Ys 8 Episode 114: Melaiduma Reaper of All
2At the end of the super dungeon we face down with the strongest boss in the game.
Melaiduma Reaper of all.
This guy may be a dragon golem like Grazios but he's on a whole different level only really sharing one attack with the other golems and that's the dash. Thankfully he only does it 2 times in a row most of the time. However, he has combo strings that would make any Elden Ring boss not named Malenia jealous by how relentless he is and will be one of the few times you'll see that your dodge roll has deteriorating invincibility frames if you spam it. He can trap you with walls of electricity. And he's one of only 3 bosses with an attack that can't be parried (the others being the 2 final bosses) and this is definitely the scariest of those attacks because it not only does a ton of damage but inflicts every bad status in the game, while the electric walls can paralyze you.
Then he gets to phase 2 where he can increase his combo strings as well as gaining attacks to turn the fight into bullet hell and a slash that covers over half the arena basically requiring a perfect dodge or parry.
Once you win though congratulations you now have the item allowing you to give different damage properties to your party members. These medals also act as a way for you to change the size of your party. It's a cool thing if you want to do a solo Run of NG+. But with that handled we have ourselves 2 tasks remaining. First is to complete the last raid of the game. Second is the true ending. This journey has been long folks but it's almost at it's conclusion
