HCBailly plays Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest - Part 6 of 23

We take the Libra Crest and fight more monsters! What's next?

Wintry Cave - 2F


This isn't too hard. Just clear out all the monsters and head to the door on the other side. There are more bombs and arrows if you need them.

Wintry Cave - 3F


Upon entering the third floor this time around, you'll have easy access to the lower level. Go up the stairs and fight the Squidite.

Squidite


Let Benjamin kill the Sparnas with Fire, while Phoebe uses Thunder on the Squidite. Once the Sparnas are gone, use Bombs on the Squidite.

When you finish it off, open the Chest where the Squidite was and you'll get the Libra Crest.

Libra Temple


Once you get out of the Wintry Cave, head back to the Libra Temple. Now that you have the Libra Crest, you can stand on the Libra symbol on the ground and warp immediately to the Life Temple.

Problem is, you'll find out the Wakewater is gone. Go up to meet the old man on the cloud again, and he'll give you what's life of the Wakewater. Get back on the Libra tile and exit.

Aquaria


Go back to the center of the town and you'll use the Wakewater on the plant. It'll be the only thing to thaw out, but at least the old man at the inn will be able to make Cure Potions and sell them to you again.

Your only hope will be to head to the Ice Pyramid and free the Water Crystal.

Wintry Cave Battlefield


New enemy here: Desert Hags.

These guys counter-attack after being hit with a physical attack, so use magic, shoot attacks and bombs.

Clearing this battlefield out gives you 600 GP.

Falls Basin


To the north of Aquaria is the Falls Basin. You'll have to get through here to get to the Ice Pyramid.

You'll have to push some columns to get where you want to go. You'll be doing this a couple of times in oder to open all the chests and beat all the monsters here.

If you push a column into a corner, you'll have to leave the area, return and start all over again.

The Lamias can put you to Sleep with Sleep Lure. Use Thunder to take them out as soon as possible to prevent this!

You'll eventually get the Heal spell for Benjamin. This spell basically works the same way a Heal Potion does. Using Heal on enemies in battle can afflict a random status ailment...you can even Petrify them if you're lucky.

Equip the Axe on Benjamin, and make sure Phoebe's Elemental Defenses are in effect.

Snow Crab

Weak against: Axe


The Snow Crab has Water attacks, but they do less damage on Phoebe. The axe does a lot of damage on the Snow Crab, so let loose with it!

Finish the Desert Hags off with Fire. You'll have to target them individually to kill them...unless you've used a Bomb in battle at the very start. In that case, you can multi-target everybody even though Fire only does 1 damage on the Snow Crab that way.

Once you're done with the Snow Crab, Phoebe will give you the Jumbo Bomb, which is obviously more powerful than the Bomb.
