It looks like I'm going to have to do
some more grinding to get my levels up a bit if I want to get past
this part of the game. Oh, goodie, just what I always wanted.
This was my second attempt at getting
through this particular dungeon. At least I made it to the end,
where the boss is. Getting there involves kind of a winding path,
but it wasn't as bad as I had thought. The biggest problem is that
the place is full of a monster called the Tomato Man, which can spawn
zombies. The zombies can poison you but are easy to kill, while the
Tomato Men are harder, almost requiring magic to kill them. There's
also Chess Knights in there, too, and magic sword monsters, as well.
When the party gets down to the right
place, it's just a moment before Thanatos does whatever he's gonna do
to Dyluck and Phana. When we go up the steps on the stage he's got
them on, Thanatos says he's heard of us because we're clearly not
just anybody if we could take down Elinee, who was working for him.
He gives us a chance to do the same, saying that if we don't we get
turned into the same zoned out folks as are in town.
From here, I'm kind of glad I have to
go back and grind for levels and gold and all that cool stuff before
I try the upcoming boss fight again, because I'm pretty sure there's
some stuff I missed. An example of that is that I'm not sure if we
got a chance to say yes or no to Thanatos's offer. I'm sure if we
are, we've gotta say no to it to advance. Regardless if there's
interaction before the fight, Thanatos drops us from the stage into
the room below to fight a giant face on a wall.
This is another one of those deals
where having my stats up due to levels will come in handy. This wall
face thing is weak to Gnome magic and the sword, best I can tell. I
at least was reminded of the strategy to use before I got killed this
time.
For next time, I'm gonna get the
party's levels up by one or two and stock up on something called
Fairie Walnuts, which restore magic, since those will come in handy.
Thing is, it's going to take me awhile
to do that, since I've got a bunch of other stuff going on right now
that will put gaming on kind of a back burner for awhile. I'll get
into the details of what I can when I can. Until then, the next one
of these I do will probably be on FF9, since that's the only one of
the three games I've got going on now where I can advance the story
any.
Until then, stay
safe, keep gaming, have fun, and DFTBA!
