The Airship to the Earth Crystal

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. walk8ancientcity.jpg (5932 bytes)
walk8cityrise.jpg (6084 bytes) As you approach, the city rises up into the air!  Better go tell Cid and Mid about this.
Go back to the Ancient Base. walk8ancientbase.jpg (3090 bytes)
walk8earthcrystal.jpg (5587 bytes) 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. walk8tycoonmeteor.jpg (5282 bytes)
walk8admantium.jpg (4822 bytes) 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.

walk8ancientbase.jpg (3090 bytes) 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! walk8cidmid.jpg (5019 bytes)
walk8cannon.jpg (8128 bytes) 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.

walk8flamegun.jpg (8676 bytes)
walk8huge.jpg (5621 bytes) 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)

walk8solcannonlauncher.jpg (4095 bytes)

walk8ancient1.jpg (6918 bytes) 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. walk8tycoon.jpg (8549 bytes)

walk8archeoavis.jpg (5378 bytes)

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. walk8cara.jpg (6570 bytes)
walk8galufmemory.jpg (6433 bytes) 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! walk8crystalshatter.jpg (2818 bytes)
walk8exdeath.jpg (7247 bytes) 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. walk8explodingcity.jpg (6344 bytes)
