HCBailly plays Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest - Part 7 of 23

In this video, we finally enter the Ice Pyramid and rip more monsters a new one.

Ice Pyramid Battlefield


You get a new enemy here: the Mage.

The Mages can cast Silence, but if Benjamin is wearing the Magic Ring, it won't work on him. Since Phoebe is wearing one as well, the attack is virtually pointless against your party.

Clearing this battlefield out gives you 540 EXP.

Ice Pyramid - 1F


Upon entering the Ice Pyramid, go up to the dark blue statue with the flashing eyes. Phoebe will find a switch in the statue, but she isn't able to reach it. Switch to the sword and press A, and you'll be able to hit it and open a door.

Don't let the rest of the pyramid fool you...there are monsters, but they're all invisible. Hmmmm...

Go all the way to the right after opening the door at the beginning. You'll find the Magic Mirror, which counteracts this. You'll have to fight monsters at least twice before you can get it, but it's all good.

Ice Pyramid - 2F


You'll meet the Phanquid here. Despite weak against Fire, a Jumbo Bomb can insta-kill them if they're the only monster on the battlefield. You'll also meet another enemy that's weak to Phoebe's bow: Stoney Roosts. You're better off using it; the Stoney Roosts will counter attack Benjamin's axe and sword strikes with Petrify Touch.

Ice Pyramid - 3F


Even more new enemies...even when the game still holds your hand, there's a new fight on every floor.

Gathers can be killed easily with the Jumbo Bomb, which actually makes the explosives useful in battle for once. If you don't kill them in one strike, they'll more than likely have enough time to to inflict massive damage on one of your party members with Selfdestruct...so heal up before you fight monsters here.

The Freezer Crabs are really easy. Just one shot from Benjamin's axe and they're gone.
