Backtrack to your Lunar Whale.
Once you touch the crystal on the ship, you'll be forced to go inside the Giant of Babel, which is another one-time-visit dungeon and you cannot come out until you complete it.
On the "Inner Path" floor, there is a save point and an item shop where you can buy some rare items.
Bestiary Checklist:
Note: Searcher can summon the following monsters: Giant Soldier, Mech Soldier, Centaurion, Mech Dragon (Inner Path, Stairwell).
Boss: Elemental Lord
Basically, you have to fight the 4 elemental lords again continuously without a break.
The general strategy should be:
- Rosa and FuSoYa start with Shell, Protect, and Haste on everyone.
- Then Rosa should keep healing the team.
- Cecil can either attack or restore team MP using Ether or Dry Ether.
Bosses:
- Scarmiglione: Weak against Fire and healing. Edge uses Flame, Rydia summons Ifrit, and FuSoYa casts Firaga.
- Cagnazzo: Weak against Thunder. Edge uses Blitz, Rydia summons Ramuh, and FuSoYa casts Thundaga.
- Barbariccia: No weakness. Edge can attack or throw Shuriken, Rydia summons Bahamut, and FuSoYa casts Flare.
- Rubicante: Weak against Ice when he opens his cloak. Edge can attack or throw Shuriken, Rydia summons Bahamut, and FuSoYa casts Flare.
Once you defeat the bosses, backtrack and use a Cottage to restore your HP before moving to the next floor.
Boss: Attack Node, Defense Node, CPU
The CPU itself doesn't do anything except use Reflect on itself, while the Attack Node will keep attacking you with decent damage. The Defense Node will keep healing the CPU with a fixed amount of 3000 HP.
As you can see, it's quite hard to outpace the healing from the Defense Node, that's why you should destroy it first, then the CPU, and the Attack Node last.
Note: If you destroy both the Defense Node and Attack Node, the CPU will unleash Object 199, which will kill 2 of your members and revive both nodes.
Kill order: Defense Node → CPU → Attack Node.
- Rosa and FuSoYa cast Haste on everyone.
- Next, FuSoYa can keep healing everyone, while Rosa can attack using a Bow.
- Cecil and Edge use normal attacks.
- Rydia summons Sylph (summon can bypass Reflect), because it's a single-target summon and we don't want to destroy the Attack Node.
- You cannot cast Black Magic on the CPU since it always has Reflect on. Even if you use Dispel to break it, the CPU will just cast it again immediately.
Chests/Items:
- C-303: Shuriken - Chest of the Giant, chest near the entrance.
- C-304: Hi-Potion - Chest of the Giant, 2nd chest before the bridge.
- C-305: Ether - Chest of the Giant, 3rd chest after the bridge.
- C-306: Siren - Chest of the Giant, 4th chest in the middle of the floor.
- C-307: Yoichi Arrow - Chest of the Giant, last chest in the northeast corner.
- C-308: Silver Apple - Stomach of the Giant, after the top bridge.
- C-309: Soma Drop - Stomach of the Giant, far east narrow passage.
- C-310: Elixir (Monster) - Inner Path of the Giant, after the first bridge.
Monster: Last Arm
Kain will finally join the party for the last time, and you've got the 5 permanent members. Let's reorder our team to:
- Front Row: Cecil, Kain, Edge
- Back Row: Rosa, Rydia
Then equip the best weapon and armor on Kain.
