HCBailly plays Final Fantasy - Part 9 of 38

In this entry: the Marsh Cave and the Dark Elf, Astos!

Marsh Cave


Map

The Gargoyles aren't that troubling, but they don't have an elemental weakness and their HP are pretty high, so spread out your offense.

One of the chests on the second floor has a Copper Bracelet. If you have a Thief or White Mage in your party, hook them up with this.

One of the rooms has a chest surrounded by statues. If you step towards the Chest, you'll trigger a fixed encounter.

You'll fight three Wizards. Even though they're wizards, they can't cast magic. Instead, they have strong physical attacks (lolwut). If you have Lit2, use it against them, since they're not strong against it.

You'll be able to open the chest when you beat them. You'll get the Crown.

When you give the crown to the King, you'll find out that the King was really Astos all along!

Boss: Astos


The trick is to survive the first round. Astos may cast Rub, which can insta-kill a party member, and he can also cast Fast on himself and Slow on your party. Cast Fast on a strong party member and have that guy wail away at Astos.

Astos, unfortunately, isn't very strong. So he's pretty easy.

When you fight a boss, always cast Fast on your strongest fighters (and everyone, for that matter). Being able to cause as much damage as possible in a short amount of time is key in the boss battles for this game.

When you beat Astos, you'll get Matoya's Crystal.

Now that you have the ship, getting back here is much easier, as there's a port you can dock the ship at close by.

Anyway, talk to Matoya and she'll give you the Herb. Head back to Elfland.

Talk to the guy standing next to the Prince, and he'll wake the Prince with the Herb. Talk to the Prince and he'll give you the Key.

Now go to the treasury and go through the door. You'll get the Silver Hammer (which is good for the White Mage) and the Copper Gloves (which are good for the Fighter).
