Journal: It's time, for the Ultima Tome

BASED ON REAL HUMAN EMPLOYEE'S EXPERIENCES
1
Lustful Hilda?!
  • Going into the Princess's room, Hilda is coming on strong to Firion, really putting the vibe out there.
  • A snake trap! The others come in to take down this vermin!
  • After the sickening trap, we learn Hilda has been captured again and is being offered at the Coliseum to the winner for a battle.
  • Gordon decides it is time for him to help out. Lelia leaves to take care of his army for some reason.

The obvious trap
  • Making out way to the Coliseum, we get a little lost in the desert but eventually find the way.
  • The emperor is actually present! But wait, we're forced into a battle with a Behemoth.
  • Even after defeating the Behemoth, the Emperor does not keep his word, infact it is a double trap and we are captured!
  • After waking up in jail, Paul the sly son of a gun, some how finds us and helps us out of jail. 
  • After opening every door in the Coliseum, we find Hilda and rescue her from captivity. 
  • Gordon escorts Hilda and leaves the party.
Behemoth Classic Final Fantasy tough guy.

Retaking Castle Fynn
  • A solider in Atlair told us that it is time to retake Castle Fynn.
  • Upon entering Lelia is waiting at the door, ready to liberate the castle. Lelia joins the party.
  • One of the Sorcerers ended up confusing my whole party, which in turned wiped out everyone.
  • Slaying our way to the throne room, we find Gottos waiting, in yet another trap. An easy victory, I am pretty sure he didn't even attack us.

Finding the Masks
  • Talking to Hilda and Gordon, we have to find two masks to unlock a key, which will let us retreive Ultima Tome.
  • One of the masks is in Castle Fynns basement, of course overflowing with baddies.
  • Easily find the White Mask without contest.

The Magic Town of Mysidia
  • After finding the magic town of Mysidia, we first stock up on all the spells we missed.
  • After messing with a bookcase, we learn where the Black Mask is and that the Ultima Tome is in a big tower. Stairs also now appear in the middle of town.
  • Going down the stairs we end up finding the location to place the White Mask.
6
Tropical Island
  • Far south in the middle of the ocean, is the Tropical Island with the Tropical Cave.
  • What a super annoying dungeon with lots of magic only baddies.
  • Found a village of mask wearing people, that seems to serve no purpose.
  • After dispatching some Big Horns, we take the Black Mask.

Cave of Mysidia
  • We need to place the Black Mask in the Cave of Mysidia.
  • This place was a little bit of a maze for a bit, trying to get all the chests.
  • Find a Doppelganger and place the Black Mask on them. 
  • Looting the rest of the dungeon and we find the key to the Mysidia Tower.

Whirl pools and Leviathan
  • On our way traveling to the Mysidia Tower to unlock it with the Crystal Rod, we end up surprised by a whirl pool that sucks us in.
  • Lelia is gone and left the party, we are in the belly of the Leviathan, but we end up finding a town very quickly with a Dragoon named Ricard that joins our party.
  • After defeating the Roundworm, we board the ship and start back on journey to the Mysidia Tower.
Last Dragoon
Roundworm Normal mob over all but harder for this part of the game.

Mysidian Tower
  • Now we finally made it to the Mysidian Tower and it looks intimidating.
  • Used the Crystal Rod to open the tower, into the tower we go.
  • We end up fighting big elemental Gigas (Fire, Ice, Thunder) as we ascend the tower, as well as a monster in a box, White Dragon.
  • Found Minwu at the top of the tower but a strong magic force was blocking the door ahead. Minwu blasted it with magic but expelled all of his life energy and parished.
  • A bunch of stat increases as well as the Ultima Tome aquired.
Self sacrifice for the greater good is always a good plot device, makes you really respect the character.
Fire Gigas A big fire mob, weak to ice.
Ice Gigas A big ice mob, weak to fire.
Thunder Gigas A big thunder mob, weak to scourge.
White Dragon Like other dragons but white.
Ultima Tome The best spell in the game, kind of

Mirror, Mirror show me Wyvern
  • Back at Castle Fynn, we show off our new magic, but it matters not because there is a giant Cyclone outside the castle recking havoc.
  • Deep in Castle Fynn, there is a giant mirror which we use the Pendent on, which shows us the wyvern has finally hatched!
  • With the Wyvern's help, we venture into the Cyclone.
