PrinceWatercress plays Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest - Part 11 of 28


Our adventure not only takes us into Fireburg, it also takes us into battle with a ton of new enemies.



Fireburg

When you enter the Hotel, you'll find a man that sells Seeds, so if you're running low, you can buy some here. You'll also run into Tristam at the bar. Long time no see!

The band here plays a variation of "Johnny B. Good" (or some other Chuck Berry song) which is rather interesting to listen to, to say the least.

The house next to it is Reuben's house. Talk to him, and you'll find out you'll have to rescue his dad from the Volcano. He'll then join your party. You'll have to find his dad's friend to get the Mega Grenade.

Reuben's Flame Armor protects him from Fire, which works quite nicely here. Just remember to save and reset the game for it to take effect. His Morning Star is considered an Axe weapon, and it's pretty powerful. His HP is also quite high. His only spell is Life, which is better than nothing.

A house in the south has a woman who will sell her Battle Axe for 500 GP. Take it, it's much stronger than Kaeli's axe. Going downstairs here displays yet another warp tile...and it's that same symbol. Hmmm...

The house in the bit near the hotel has the guy you're looking for, but the door's locked. Head back to the Hotel and talk to Tristam; he'll give you the Multi-key so you can pick the lock.

Go in, and talk to the guy inside. He'll give you your third Bomb weapon: the Mega Grenade. These are even more powerful than the Jumbo Bomb. He'll then tell you to go through the Mine to reach the boulder that's strapping Reuben's father, Arion. Going downstairs here will give you another symbol tile. I wonder...

Anyway, pressing A with the Mega Grenades equipped will throw one Mega Grenade four spaces ahead in whatever direction you're currently facing, which is pretty nifty. Remember that for later, as you'll need to throw it to reach some sealed doors.

Fireburg Battlefield 1

New enemies here: Jelly and Sting Rats. The Mega Grenade makes quick work of the Jellies, while the Sting Rats can Poison if given the chance.

Clearing this battlefield gives you 900 GP.

Fireburg Battlefield 2

There's a lot of new enemies near Fireburg, so getting your practice in on them is well-advised.

Clearing this battlefield gives you the Gemini Crest! Use these where you saw those three symbols and see what happens!

By using the Gemini Crest in Fireburg, you'll end up in Aquaria.

Fireburg Battlefield 3

The Plant Man is easily destroyed by Axe attacks. The Plant Man can also Paralyze you with Bad Breath and Poison you with Poison Thorn.

Clearing this battlefield out gives you 816 EXP.

Fireburg Battlefield 4

The Flazzards are weak against Water, so your Blizzard attack will work wonders against them.

Clearing this battlefield gives you 1200 GP.

Fireburg Battlefield 5

The Red Caps can be de-commissioned the same way as the Flazzards. The big difference is that the Red Caps can Confuse you, so be careful.

Clearing this battlefield out gives Benjamin the Thunder spell! Finally, Benjamin has a Wizard attack!
