HCBailly plays Final Fantasy IV (Super Famicom) - Part 43 of 70

In this entry, we head back to the Tower of Bab-il.

Path to Bab-il Map (by FlyingArmor)

Equip Edge with the Rune Ring, as it will be better than the Power Wrist defense-wise and boost his Wisdom and Will, which will positively affect his ninjitsu as it protects against Silence. You can also equip Yang's claws on Edge to boost his attack as well as give his physical attacks elemental properties.

There is a secret passage to the west of where you find Edge that will take you to a chest with a Dry Ether.

The path north of where you found Edge takes you to the upper section of the Tower of Bab-il.

Tower of Bab-il (Upper Section)

Map (by FlyingArmor)

Edge will be able to pass through the wall to the west when you go as far north as you can at the beginning. This will allow you to access the rest of the path.

The Remedy Bombs can drop the Bomb summon. They will explode and deal a lot of damage if you do not kill them as quickly as possible.

The Ice Warrior will counter with Bio if you use a physical attack and Reflect if you use a magical attack. If you cast Piggy on them, however, they won't be able to cast either spell  The Sorcerer will summon enemies such as Mad Ogres and Yellow Dragons if you don't kill him fast enough, so kill him first. The Sorcerers are also high in experience for this point in the game, and you can use Rosa's Mini spell to make their attacks less effective.

The chest in the center of the second floor contains four Mad Ogres. Take out the one in the front row, then cast Mini on the rest. Winning this battle gives you the Ogre Killer, an ax that is slightly more powerful and will deal more damage to Ogre-type enemies. Equip it on Cecil.

The Lilith's Kiss charms an enemy with a Confuse spell.

The Ashura Blade is for Edge, and is stronger than the Kunai that he currently has.

Be sure to level Edge - and the rest of your party - up a bit before the end of this area, as you'll want to make Edge more powerful and get Rydia to learn Ice 3.
