We get the Final Trump for winning, and nothing else. This is a death counter, which is a rather unimpressive ice attack. It's nowhere near enough to deal with the kind of fuckery we're capable of, and indeed it goes down in one turn. Ice Dragon Two, Electric Boogaloo has 30000 HP. Still need a few more points of magic so we can max out damage even against multiple targets. So basically we have four targets in this fight.
Reflect does nothing against Ultima, so it promptly ate another and some loaded dice and died horribly, next!Īnd now it's gone, leaving only a shitty XP reward behind!Īpparently I failed to screenshot it, but some more ice dragons zip in from the left and position themselves under the one you can see here. I had a request for more random battles, so here's something I encountered inside the cave! I have a distinct feeling I'm going to hate this before I'm done. It's a shitty labyrinth where new sections open up as you wander around killing bosses.
It looks almost exactly like the phoenix cave. ", team "Random encounters? What random encounters?" and also, unofficially, team "Just guard the airship while I'm out doing adult things and pray to whatever gods Robin hasn't killed already that I don't find any scratches on it when I return". Win-win situation!įrom left to right you can see Team "Godslayer", Team "We're helping!.
If it works, I'll get to laugh at the dungeon, and if it doesn't, you get to laugh at me. So I'll just have to see how far I can get with just Robin's group and the other idiots as button-pressing support. Problem is, I basically have one small team of people who matter and a huge group of "those other guys I never use", and I can't be arsed to train the rest of them. Like the final dungeon, it requires three parties. On this island, just north of the Coliseum, lies the Dragon's Den, which did not exist in the original version of FFVI. (Well, you could also grind Aeris up to level 99 and hahahahahaha no.)īut now for something completely different. This is the only way to obtain the spell if you're dumb and pick the sword in Narshe instead of the esper you can't get anywhere else. In addition to the holy shit look at those stats, it also teaches Ultima. The Paladin's Shield makes the Minerva Bustier look pathetic, and unlike the bustier, it does not require an actual bust. Even then, and even with the speed cranked up to something like 500%, it took 10-20 minutes of grinding. The best place to do this is on Cid's island, where the enemies have like 1 HP and are more likely to kill themselves because they're so pathetic than to actually deal damage to your characters. Two fucking hundred and fifty-fucking-six. To uncurse the cursed shield, you have to fight 256 battles with it on. Well, except that sometimes it uses 10000 needles instead and deals 9999 but I can already do 9999 for 1 MP every round and aaargh. +2 speed makes Odin even more obsolete, but no one cares about speed and we can already get all those spells from other sources - and in most cases, we already have. He's worth 1111 gil, but the real reason we want him dead. The reason he's a giant prickly asshole (as opposed to just a prickly giant) is that 1000 Needles is unblockable and unevadable and he'll spit out several castings of it each round and finish with fucking ten of them when he dies.Įven with Reraise on the entire group, that was dangerously close. Then, we're going to take on this giant prickly asshole. fortunately, there's still stuff to do in the GBA version.įirst, I'm going to make sure Robin knows this spell. We're getting dangerously close to the end of the original game's content!
