Chests (4):
- Ribbon (x4)
The World of Darkness has 5 portals in total, 4 at the edges and 1 in the middle. Your objective is to kill all bosses in the portals at the edges first.
Boss: Cerberus
This boss can attack 3 times per turn. Plus, each attack can inflict poison. Again, the strategy is simple, keep 1 white mage for healing, the rest go for offensive.
Boss: Echidna
This battle is not hard since the boss knows only Tornado that can reduce your entire party to a single digit HP. Another spell is Death, which kick one of your party members out. However both spell has very low chance of success.
Boss: Ahriman
This boss is weak against Wind element. Other than that, it's pretty auto attack with one white mage healing the entire party using Curaga.
Boss: Two-Headed Dragon
This boss doesn't know any magic, however it has powerful physical attack which can easily kill one of your party member. So, be prepare to use a lot of "Arise" and Phoenix Down. 2 members focuses on reviving other members while the other two focus on offensive. Don't bother healing after using the Phoenix Down though, it's a waste of turns.
Portal (5)
Before facing the final boss, I highly recommend you equip Ribbon on everyone. This will make your life so much easier during the battle.
Cloud of Darkness
- Cloud of Darkness has 2 tentacles. The left one is immune to magic, but weak to physical attack. Its main role is using offensive magic like Lightning. The right one is immune to physical attack, but weak to magic. Its main role is using support magic on the boss.
- It can also use Bad Breath which is deadly if you don't wear Ribbon to prevent status ailments.
- The most powerful attack is "Particle Beam" which can wipe out your entire party if your maximum HP is too low.
Killing the left tentacle may be worth it, but it's not necessary as long as you can keep up with the damage from the boss, usually 1 white mage with Curaja on everyone is enough to get you back in full health. Then, you can easily focus on attacking the body.
Congratulations on defeating the Cloud of Darkness. It's not over yet if you plan to fight the strongest boss, Iron Giant.
Watch the ending credit and save your game. After it is finished, load your game from the slot that you just saved in, you will be loaded right in front of the Crystal Tower.
