Hop out of your sub and start working your way through Guido's Sunken
Cave. |
In this room, you have to move the weight in the center chests to the
other chests to get the doors to open. |
|
|
This area is full of hidden passages. Even characters with the
'Passages' ability can't see them. If you really need to, turn off background layer
1 (with the 1 above the Q, not on the keypad) and they're easy to spot. |
When you reach Guido, Butz will think he is an ordinary turtle and smack
him around. After Guido tells him to stop, he does and Guido doesn't hold it against
him. He tells you the story of how Exdeath was born, and that he is going to the Forest
of Mua. He gives you a branch that will get into the Great Tree, and bids you
farewell. |
|
|
Getting to the Forest is kind of tricky. Go here, then dive.
There is an underwater channel you can go through, and then surface in the pool in the
center of the island. |
Go to the town of Mua before heading to the forest. The forest is
really big, and full of tough monsters. Prepare for a long journey and upgrade all
your spells and equipment. |
|
|
As soon as you go into the forest, turn off background layer 2. This
will kill the treetops, and you'll be able to see your path better (as well as see a lot
of hidden treasure chests, and improve your framerate). If fighting without a
background is too weird for you, just turn it back on in battles. |
Don't miss the savepoint on the way by. |
|
|
After go get deep into the forest, Exdeath will set it on fire! Good
thing you made friends with the moogles earlier, they come to rescue you. Follow him
into the hole he makes. |
Wait till the fire is out, then go back up to the surface. |
|
|
After the fire is out, continue through the forest (you can turn the
background back on now). You will eventually go into the Great Tree, where you will
be attacked by the Sealed. |
The Sealed all have different weakpoints, and are very fast. They
only attack with physical attacks until they are low on HP, so start off with a Golem,
then a Fast2, then a Slow2. Golem will soak up the damage while you White Wizard
casts Shell on all your party members. Concentrate all your firepower on one at a
time until it is defeated. When they get low on HP they attack with devastating
area-damage spells (hence the Shell). |
|
|
After you defeat the sealed, Exdeath will walk over and thank you for
dissolving the seal. He is now able to harness the power of this world's crystals! Using
the crystal's, he plasters your party to the wall. |
Just when it looks like you're done for, Cara feels that something is
wrong. She hops on her Hiryuu and heads to to the forest. |
|
|
Cara breaks the power of the crystals, but Exdeath gets pissed off at her
and tries to kill her. Galuf gets up (shattering one of the crystals in the process) and
attacks Exdeath solo. |
Don't worry about healing fighting Exdeath. Even if you have HP left
at the end of the battle, the outcome is still the same. Galuf will continue to fight
even at 0 HP. |
|
|
After Galuf defeats Exdeath, Exdeath picks up the 3 remaining crystals and
teleports out. Galuf dies from his wounds, despite your party casting their greatest
healing spells on him. |
After Galuf dies, he gives all of his powers to Cara. Cara tells
your party that she will fight with them. |
|
|
Cara tells the rest of your party that Galuf told her to go to Exdeath's
castle. She calls her Hiryuu, and you fly off. |
