Temple of Fiends Revisited

Map

No sooner do you reach the exit to the room after the Lich rematch that you fight Kary. Again.

First, let's go south and get the treasures first. The only useful thing you'll find (besides another Katana, if you missed the first one) is another ProCape. If you have another Mage in your party, equip it.

These are the last chests in the game, so we won't have to worry about treasure hunting anymore after this.

Boss: Kary

You definitely want to cast Afir on the first round, as well as Fast on everybody.

From there, have your best offensive fighters strike the boss, and let your healers heal. Kary can still be able to deal some damage, but with Afir it's not going to be as bad.

Yeah, I know, I cut and pasted the strategy from last time. At least Kary (Kali - yeah, I finally found out what her name should be) can't cast Mute this time around and has 100 more HP from last time like Lich does. She's still not much stronger, and using the White Shirt to evade some of Kary's attacks makes this even easier.

The Worms are very easy to destroy with physical attacks.

The exit to the next step is blocked by a rematch with the Kraken.

Boss: Kraken

Use the White Shirt as an Item in battle in the first round. He still hits eight times in one physical attacks. There's no need to cast Alit if you have the White Shirt, as Kraken's Lit2 attack will only do very meager damage if you've used the White Shirt first.

Okay, okay, I lied. There's one more chest in the second-to-last floor. It contains the Masmune (Masamune), which anyone can equip (including wizards!). If you have a Knight that has Xcalber equipped, give it to the Red Wizard if you have one.

Anyway, going to the right of the stairs that were past Kraken will take you to the battle with Tiamat.

Boss: Tiamat

Tiamat's Thunder isn't that bad, even with ALit cast. Too bad her defense is quite high.

If you have a Master, he'll really come in handy. By now he should be able to deal 10 or 11 hits in one attack on Tiamat.

Yep, more cut and paste. He's not that much different from before, especially if you use the White Shirt in battle.
