      Grind until you're strong enough and/or buy some healing items and use them both to compensate for the tiger's damage and nullify its heaviest attacks (since being stuck in a spell/item animation can sometimes render a character invulnerable to additional damage, thanks to the general jankiness of the game's engine).

      After that the game becomes easy, and soon after that it becomes super-easy, aside from maybe a stumbling block at the end. So then you just breeze through it and enjoy the music.

      Aight, thanks, I'll try that when I get up to it. I ragequit last time I played.

      How does the first boss work? Is there any way to avoid that attack that makes you unconscious? It's really annoying, despite getting myself revived automatically.

        >I'll try that

        If you're really talking about Spikey Tiger, then I don't think you can use any kind of magic because you haven't learned any at that point, if I remember correctly. That's part of what makes it the hardest fight in the game. It's not really very fair and probably most people just grind their way past it. Try, fail, come in with better levels and more items, maybe succeed.

        >the first boss

        You mean the bug thing in the pit under the starting village? I don't remember because it doesn't matter too much. It's just a story/tutorial scene so do whatever and eventually you win. If you're annoyed by undodgeable enemy attacks, then... welcome to Secret of Mana. You'll get your own undodgeable attacks soon enough.

        Better armor usually helps. Also more training with monsters.

      What a liar. This is a game people emulated, and used guides for.

        You shoot the tiger with the bow when he lands up on the higher levels. Switch back to the sword or whatever when he lands down on the ground.
        It's largely a crapshoot, he's the hardest boss in the game because of how broken the battle system and collision detection are, and how stupid your AI partners behave.

        I bought this game when i was 14 in 1994. I still own it.

        the arena is small and when he rolls around it's a total crap shoot if you can dodge because he moves lightning fast

    try Secret of Evermore if you find this one hard or boring or something. I liked Evermore better than Mana

    I like a lot about this game, but time has not been kind to the gameplay itself. The AI, various combat quirks and the wheel menu bullshit killed my urge to play this after several hours, last time I tried.

    all you need to do is stand where the girl is, on the elevator platforms, and use projectile weapons

        The wall? I needed two walnuts and getting them costs 2000 gm from the israeli cat merchant. It took me a lot of fights with monsters to gather the shekels. The second wall enemy in the imperium with the vampire also sucked ass.

    The co-op mode is a pretty neat addition that saves it from mediocrity. As a single player experience it's nothing special

    >How do you even actually play this game?
    The way god intented, with a multi-tap and two other friends on a nice 30"ish high-quality CRT or a ludo large sized PVM in a comfy room with some popcorn real fruit juice and dried meat. It'll be super fun and comfy as frick.

    OR if you do not want to be in a state of nirvana. Emulating it and playing with two other friends online. Its impossible to be beyond what the human brain can comprehend as comfy, but niether the less it will be very fun to play this with friends. As more than 2 player on home consoles pre gen 5 is very very rare and normally very half assed eith very little games that allow more than two players with an add-on to the console.

    4 player PSX games can also be very comfy there is a few hidden gems. The gamecube can do some really cool shit too. Like zelda with 5 gamecubes 4 act as players the fifth one is a large center screen.
    Try to play zelda four swords with 5 gamecubes on CRT's at least once in your life anon. I'd love to see romhackers in the future create something insane with this, or that wind waker japanese party game that has zelda speak to do as the annoncer the whole match and shes able to say your name and talk about what you're doing and shit.

    Srsly if god is real we will get massive zelda four swords romhacks where players are not stuck to one area and can tackle the whole world map doing wtv on their own. But need 2,3,4 players for puzzles bosses etc etc. This would be so fricking fun! Also add in the minish to make it even more ludo minish islands&ocean and the fricking dark wold AND TWILIGHT to create the most GOAT zelda game ever. Holy frick I have such a cool idea if only this was decomped.

    Wait speaking of god damn time to see if either mana game on the snes has romhacks better yet romhacks that work with the multi-tap as stated above the way god intended the game be played

      whoops forgot the pic

      This is what zelda perfection could look like with the right romhacking team. Four swords once again with 5 gamecubes is something everyone should try its sadly short but fun as frick.
