Dragon Warrior III [NES] Playthrough #63, Final Battle: Zoma

This is video #63 in my Dragon Warrior III playthrough. The party has worked through Zoma's henchmen: King Hydra, Baramos Bomus, and Baramos Gonus. Now, after healing up, they approach Zoma himself. We are treated to some pretty cool music for the final battle. To have any chance against this monster, the party should use the Sphere of Light on him. It will remove the darkness shrouding him. Status spells such as Increase, SpeedUP, and Bikill are useless because he can use a freeze beam attack that nullifies status effects. The Sage's Stone will be a real boon in this fight. If the Hero has learned Lightning, it will tear this boss up, but if not, normal physicals will be better than Zap. It will let him use his MP for backup healing. The Wizard's best option is to use Explodet. Other spells don't seem to be that effective. If the Wizard does not know it yet, he or she can be the holder of the Sage's Stone. I also found that it is useful to bring a few Wizard's Rings to restore MP, especially if you are attempting this battle at a low level. After a long hard battle (depending on your level), the party will finally stick it to Zoma! Thanks for watching! This video is part of my Dragon Warrior III Playthrough playlist.
