HCBailly plays Final Fantasy II - Part 20 of 44

We check out Dist and get some new stuff! Also, we die!

All maps by Paco.

Castle Dist

Map

When you enter the castle, you'll be hounded by a kid. As you talk to him, he'll run away. You'll meet the kid and his mom. The kid now knows you're the good guys, and the husband of the family has been killed by the Empire. They're the only survivors. To make matters worse, the last Hiryuu is here, but they can't understand what it's saying unless they had the man's pendant, which is somewhere nearby.

Mention the Dragoons to them. You'll find out the Empire poisioned the water of the Hiryuu and killed all but one. The Hiryuu have to be alive to keep the Dragoons from dying out. The last Hiryuu will be behind the door next to them.

The ElderIQ can only be used during battle, and it increases your Intelligence to 99 until the end of the battle. The Heart does the same thing, except it works on your Soul.

If you're needing a sword, the Winged Sword is for you.

The Crucifix cures the Curse Status, much like EchoScn cures Mute, EyeDrop cures Blind and Antidote works on Poison.

"Stone" is actually Stun. It's a mistranslation.

The pendant won't be anywhere in the castle, and you'll have to go into the cave up north.

Cave of Dist

Map

This cave isn't too long, but you can run into some Gigases if you're not fortunate enough.

If you can't inflict Curse on them, you're screwed. Even worse, you might have to fight two at once.

The Pendant is really easy to find. Go all the way to the right at the start, take the stairs down and press A at the pile of bones.

Before we can get it, though, we see just how bad fighting two Gigases at the same time at this point in the game can be.
