Mygas is a non-playable character who appears in Breath of Fire III. He is one of the masters that player characters can study under.
Role in Breath of Fire III
Mygas is a journeyman wizard who is located at the edge of Cedar Woods in the Yraall Region. Mygas is a very good Master at the start of the game, where players must decide whether they want to improve Ryu's sword skills with Bunyan or his magic skills with Mygas.
As a Master
Mygas becomes available after you defeat the Nue (for the second time). He is located to the west of McNeil Village by the little Yggdrasil tree stump. In order to become his apprentice, you must agree to give him all your Zenny. If the party has no money, then he will accept a payment of zero zenny.
For a while, Mygas will be Ryu's way to improve his magical versatility, so if the player prefers to give Ryu more of a mage-like approach, Mygas should be selected instead of Bunyan.
Since Mygas is the first master available in the game, it can be helpful to apprentice Ryu or Teepo before McNeil Manor so they can benefit from the magic gains while learning some valuable early-game skills before moving onto the next part of the story. Frost is especially useful against Tar Men on Mt. Myrneg since they have elemental weakness to frost plus it stuns them and drastically reduces their physical defense for several turns. Typhoon is a strong early AOE attack, making it very effective against enemies with significant physical evasion but low HP such as the Nut group and Bats.
Etymology
- Mygas' Japanese name "Magus" denotes a member of a caste of ancient Persian priests. It is also the root word which "magic" (literally "the art practiced by a magus") derives from.
