Guido's Sunken Cave to the Forest of Mua

walk14cave1.jpg (5222 bytes)

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. walk14cave2.jpg (5155 bytes)
walk14cave3.jpg (3244 bytes) 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.

walk14land1.jpg (9528 bytes) 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. walk14mua.jpg (9180 bytes)
walk14forest1.jpg (7966 bytes) 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. walk14forest2.jpg (7893 bytes)
walk14forest3.jpg (5597 bytes) 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. walk14forest4.jpg (4274 bytes)
walk14sealed1.jpg (6763 bytes) 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).

walk14z1.jpg (7260 bytes) 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. walk14z2.jpg (9728 bytes)
walk14z3.jpg (6121 bytes) 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.

walk14z4.jpg (5335 bytes)

walk14z5.jpg (5999 bytes) 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. walk14z6.jpg (8129 bytes)
walk14z7.jpg (8276 bytes) 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.
