After getting the Airship, fly around and get whatever stuff you missed
back in the game. When you are ready, go back to the Ancient City. |
|
|
As you approach, the city rises up into the air! Better go tell Cid
and Mid about this. |
Go back to the Ancient Base. |
|
|
In the Ancient Base, Cid and Mid will explain that the city is floating in
the air using the power of the Earth Crystal! Someone (King Tycoon?) has started the
machine that makes the city float. Your airship can't go that high, you'll need some
Adamantium to give your airship the boost it needs. Luckily, Galuf remembers seeing some
in the meteor he came down in. |
Go back to the Tycoon Meteor. |
|
|
Go inside the meteor. Sure enough, there it is. On the way out,
Adaman T. appears out of nowhere and attacks you. |
Like CrawClaw, Adaman T. has very high physical defense. He hits a
lot harder and goes much faster though. Have your White Wizard cast Safe on your
party while your Black Wizard and Caller hit him with Ice 2 and Shiva. |
|
|
After Adaman T. is defeated, take the Adamantium back to Cid and Mid. |
While your party sleeps, Cid and Mid will install the Adamantium.
Those guys sure work fast! |
|
|
After your party wakes up, Cid and Mid will explain how to use the
Adamantium (press A and then up). They also warn that the city is guarded by several
cannons that will have to be defeated before you can enter. |
Go up to the Ancient City. You must fight 4 groups of 2 cannons
before you can fight the main cannon to get in. The cannons aren't too tough and
only do moderate damage, but they sure are fast! I recomend using this type of party
to try to keep up. They are also vulnerable to Stop but it will only stop them for a
round or two. |
|
|
After the last group of cannons is defeated, the main cannon will appear.
Go rest before you attempt to fight it. |
While fighting the Sol Cannon, destroy the two launchers quickly, before
it has a chance to hit you with its Multi-Surge Beam. The launchers will fire
rockets that will cause their target to age. Use Esna (found in the village of Lix)
to cure this. After the launchers are destroyed, the only weapon the cannon will be able
to hit you with is the Multi-Surge Beam. It will do about 160 damage but only fires
about every 3 or 4 rounds. Heal between shots. This guy is slow but has enough
HP to fight all day, be sure not to run out of MP (I went through 4 ethers fighting this
guy) |
|
|
After you defeat the Sol Cannon, go rest and come back. Then head
into the city. Be sure someone is either a thief or has the Passages ability, or you
won't get far. |
Go through the ruins, being sure to pick up the gold armor, shield, and
Ancient sword on the way by. When you reach the bottom, you will see King Tycoon!
He acts a bit funny but asks you to defeat the monster guarding the machine. |
|
|
ArcheoAvis starts out being weak against magic in general, Wind attacks in
particular. After you beat him up some he'll die and revive, but now he'll be weak
against physical attacks and magic attacks won't hurt him at all most of the time. |
After ArcheoAvis is dead, follow the King into the crystal room.
Something is controlling him! Just as it looks as if you will have to fight him, a
meteor crashes into the city and Cara comes running in. She casts a weak Bolt on the
King, stunning but not really hurting him. |
|
|
Galuf recognizes Cara as his granddaughter. And then, his memory
fully returns! |
But, there isn't any time to be happy about it because the crystal
shatters! |
|
|
And Exdeath is released. King Tycoon tries to put the crystal back
together but fails, and dies from the being at the center of all its energy. |
Lenna picks up the crystal pieces and you learn new classes. Without
the crystal to hold it up, the city starts to fall! The party runs back through the
city, just making it before the city hits the ground. |
