Large Note
This Area, contains enemies known as Epitaphs. These stone-like enemies can be
strong at times, but if you battle them right, you can gain tons of experience
points from each battle:
7000+ EXP: From a battle with all 4 of
your party members alive.
9000+ EXP: From a battle with 3 of your
party members alive.
14000+ EXP: From a battle with 2 of your party
members alive.
30000+ EXP: From a battle with 1 of your party members
alive.
Ya catch my drift? So if you fight the fight with only one
character living at the end, you can gain several levels within just a few
battles. The catch? Well, they can cast mirror, which ""Mirror"'s one of your
party members (not necessarily one in your current party, though), and it will
cast mirror a total of three times in the battle, once after each time you hit
it or steal from it. The more mirror images you face, the more EXP you gain. But
to make the battle even easier, simply equip Jelly, level-up, and ability-up.
Jelly makes the Epitaph's only attack, petrify, un-usable.
So here is how
you should fight him:
· Attack once to bring on the mirror
· Kill
mirror image
· Attack again to bring on second mirror
· Kill second mirror
image
· Attack once more to bring the last mirror
· Kill last mirror
· Kill Epitaph
I suggest killing off two of your characters, then fighting
the battle with only 2 characters, that way that way, if it clones one of your
characters, the other will not be cloned (it clones the same member consistently
throughout the battle). And if you survive the fight with either 1 or 2 members,
you can get anywhere from 14000-40000 EXP for each fight! But make sure you have
the auto-potion and Jelly abilities on, or else this method might not work, and
your characters will either die off, ot become petrified. I strongly suggest
staying here for a few hours, and level up your characters until they are around
the level 50-60 range, then moving on. This also works wonders for learning
abilities, since you learn them much quicker here. Enjoy!
Equip the most powerful weapons on your party members, then continue
north. Enter the large doors, and go inside. Head north once inside to
find a chest with a Remedy, then climb the stairs next to it, and go
right to find another chest, this one with a Rising Sun item. Now go
back down the stairs, and enter the door to the left. Inside here, open
the southern chest to get a Diamond Sword (crap, shouldn't have bought
that one from the Moogle...oh well, it's great for Amarant to throw in
a boss fight...). Open the northern chest for a Shield Armor. Go back a
screen, and go back up the stairs, but now go left, and onto the next
screen. Open the chest for an Elixer, then check out the globe, and
make it red. Go back downstairs, and re-enter the room to the left.
As you walk past the center of the room, a hologram will appear, and so
will a short cut-scene. When it ends, go down the southern stairs, and
in the room with two flaming torches near some stairs. Check out the
chest to the right to get a Power Vest, then run up the stairs to find
two yellow floor lights, and a chest with some Feather Boots. Now run
to the light on the floor to the far-left, then activate it. This is
the Ancient Ship. Now continue to activate the next 3 hologram
projectors in this room in a clockwise fashion. Once done, climb the
stairs again, and head out the left exit. Run across the large archway
to the left, until you reach another globe. Check it out, and watch the
cinema. Now when it ends, continue to the right, onto the next screen,
then through the blue door that unlocks for you.
Watch the weird cut-scene, then exit the room, and pass through the
hologram room, and re-enter the first main room. In the main room, head
to the right, and enter the doorway. At this time, equip the Clear
Headed and Jelly abilities to your party, as well as Auto-Potion, and
your strongest weapons and armor.
Save your game with the Moogle, then head right some more, open the
chest for the Gaia Gear, and through the next area. When a hologram
appears, watch it, then head through the next door. Step on the rear
platform, and you will be taken way down to the bottom of this area,
where you can find the Gulug Stone. Attempt to take it, and a boss
fight begins.
Ark
Level: 38, HP: 20002
Weak against: Shadow, Spoils: Pumice Piece
AP: 11, Steal: Elixer, Power Vest, Holy Lance
For this battle, you'll need to use as many weapons and abilities as
you can. Start off by stealing with Zidane, and try to get the Holy
Lance weapon. Use Quina or Freya to heal the party when required, and
be sure to have a Phoenix Down or two ready. Have Steiner use the Power
Break attack, as well as just normal physical attacks. Amarant should
use his throw ability and toss some EXTRA weapons (extra meaning ones
where you have 1 or more lying around), which causes some good damage.
If you need to replenish MP, use his Chakara ability to replenish MP
of a character. This guy has tons of HP, so keep up your attacks
until he dies off.
When the fight ends, take the Gulug Stone that you've been dying to
get, and watch as you are transported back to Kuja's home. |
