Chapter 4: In the Name of Love Walkthrough
Battle 33: Dugeura Pass
| # | Step-by-Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Prioritize the Black Mages First The two Black Mages are your top priority as they can hit multiple allies with high-level AoE spells and they are both wearing a Black Robe, which enhances elemental magic. Take them out quickly to reduce incoming damage. Using the Dual Wield ability of the Ninja job can help you finish them in a single turn. |
| 2 |  Watch Out for Dragoon Jump Attacks Dragoons can vanish off-screen with Jump and can’t be targeted until they land. If a unit is targeted, check turn order, then if your unit’s turn comes first, move them off the marked panel to avoid the hit completely. Alternatively you can use Mustadio's Arm Shot to disable their abilities beforehand. |
| 3 |  Use Mystic and Black Mage for Support Black Mages can damage multiple clustered enemies from a safe distance. Alternatively, use a Mystic to silence enemy Black Mages with Quiescencce so they won't perform any of their spells. Once the Black Mages are gone and the Dragoons’ threat is neutralized, mop up the remaining enemies at your own pace. |
Battle 34: Free City of Bervenia
| # | Step-by-Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Rush Meliadoul Before She Rends Your Gear Meliadoul’s Unyielding Blade can shred your weapons and armor. Have Ramza equipped with Dual Wield and Ignore Elevation or Jump +1 so he can scale the map quickly, engage her, and keep her busy. Getting to her fast prevents the rest of your party from suffering too much equipment loss. |
| * | Safeguard Your Equipment If you have the Safeguard support ability, equip it to your units as it makes your gear immune to Meliadoul’s Rends. This is optional but highly recommended, especially if you don’t want to risk losing rare weapons or armor. |
| 2 |  Steal Her Unique Gear Don’t defeat Meliadoul right away. Use the Steal Weapon and Steal Accessory commands on her to grab the Defender Sword and Chantage Perfume which are both unobtainable anywhere else. Equip Ramza with Auto-Potion to keep him alive while he attempts repeated steals. |
| 3 |  Keep the Enemy Squad Distracted While Ramza is busy stealing, have your other units control the battlefield. Mystic and Mustadio can Silence or Disable the Summoners, while Agrias handles the Archers. Your Chemist provides steady heals. |
| 4 | Finish Off Meliadoul Once you’ve secured her gear, defeat Meliadoul to end the battle. The mission ends immediately after she falls, regardless of how many enemies remain. |
Battle 34: Free City of Bervenia Guide
Battle 35: Finnath Creek
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |
 Identify the Chocobo Types At the start of the battle, check which Chocobos are present. Normal yellow Chocobos can heal allies with Choco Cure, while Red Chocobos and Black Chocobos have offensive attacks like Choco Pellets and Choco Meteor that can hit you from range. Knowing which types you’re up against will determine your battle pace. It’s best to save your game before this fight, then reset until you get an easier all-Yellow Chocobo lineup. |
| 2 |
 Do Not Kill the Pig If a Pig appears in your randomized enemy lineup, don’t kill it! It’s a rare monster that can provide high-tier accessories like Ribbons and Chantages when poached. Instead of poaching immediately, have your Summoner with both Speechcraft and Beastmaster commands, Entice the Pig so it can join your party. Once recruited, the Pig can lay eggs over time, giving you more of its kind to poach later. Always keep at least one alive to maintain your farm of free rare gear. |
| 3 |
 Focus Fire on One Chocobo at a Time When attacking, focus your fire on one Chocobo to ensure it goes down in a single turn. Ramza can easily handle two hits per round, so he can split off from the group to clean up solo targets. Meanwhile, Mustadio, your Archer, and your Summoner can deal damage safely from range, keeping them out of counterattack range. Once the last enemy falls, the battle ends. |
Battle 35: Finnath Creek Guide
Battle 36: Outlying Church
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Use Spells That Ignore Elevation For a fast battle, your goal is to focus all attacks on Zalmour until he’s defeated. To do this, bring units with spells that ignore elevation, such as the Black Mage’s magic, the White Mage’s Holy, and Agrias’ Hallowed Bolt. Delita also uses Holy Knight skills that ignore elevation, so he can assist in ranged combat. As for Ramza, have him as a Ninja with Ignore Elevation equipped so he can rush Zalmour on turn one and hit him twice for immediate damage. |
| * |  Expect Slow Play Without Ignore Elevation Without the Ignore Elevation ability or elevation-ignoring spells, expect a slower battle as you’ll need to route around the building to reach the roof and engage Zalmour directly. |
Battle 36: Outlying Church Guide
Battle 37: Beddha Sandwaste
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Cure the Starting Poison At the start of the battle, all allies are inflicted with Poison. Have your Chemist use Purification (from the Martial Arts command) to cleanse nearby units right away. Position them in the center to hit multiple party members at once, this setup clears Poison from up to three allies in a single turn. |
| 2 |
Beware of Barich’s Blaze Gun Barich’s Blaze Gun can fire random Ice-element spells from Blizzard up to Blizzaga, and the previewed damage only shows the weakest one. To counter it, equip Agrias (or another frontliner) with an Ice Shield to absorb his attacks while closing in. |
| 3 |
 Attempt to Steal the Blaze Gun Ramza should equip the Thief command Steal Weapon to try and take Barich’s Blaze Gun before defeating him. It’s one of three rare magic guns in the game along with the Blast Gun and Glacial Gun, so it’s absolutely worth delaying the kill to secure it. |
| 4 |
Focus on Barich Once his gun is stolen, Barich becomes harmless and can only do attacks. Have Ramza and Agrias rush him down while Mustadio and your Black Mage clean up the rest of the enemies. When Barich falls, the battle ends so if you haven’t stolen his weapon yet, don’t finish him too early! |
Battle 37: Beddha Sandwaste Guide
Battle 38 A - Fort Besselat: South Wall
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  South Wall or North Wall? This battle is one of two possible entry points into Fort Besselat. You can either choose the South Wall or the North Wall and only one will be played in this chapter. Both lead directly to the Sluice Gate battle. ▶ Should You Pick the North Wall or the South Wall in Chapter 4? |
| 2 |  Split Your Party Enemies are spread out across both sides of the field, which means you can gain control faster by dividing your squad. Form two balanced teams and assign Ramza and Agrias to opposite flanks so they can move upward immediately. Take out the Ninja first as its elevated position, double attack, and high speed make them dangerous. The narrow path they stand on is perfect for AoE attacks like Shockwave or Divine Ruination to clear them fast. |
| 3 |  Have the Rest Deal With Other Enemies After eliminating the Ninja, turn your focus to the Thief. They can steal weapons and gear, so either bring the Safeguard support ability or use Mustadio’s Arm Shot to disable them before finishing the job. Your White Mage can pull double duty by casting Holy for big damage while patching up the team. Meanwhile, your Summoner’s AoE magic will shine here, dealing heavy damage to clustered foes without friendly fire, making cleanup fast and safe. |
Battle 38 A: Fort Besselat: South Wall Guide
Battle 38 B - Fort Besselat: North Wall
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 | South Wall or North Wall? This battle is one of two possible entry points into Fort Besselat. You can either choose the South Wall or the North Wall and only one will be played in this chapter. Both lead directly to the Sluice Gate battle. ▶ Should You Pick the North Wall or the South Wall in Chapter 4? |
| 2 |  Use Ignore Elevation for a Quick Assault Equip the Dragoon’s Ignore Elevation movement ability on Ramza so he can quickly reach enemies stationed on higher ground. This lets him bypass long stairways and strike first. Since a Ninja attacks twice per turn, Ramza can efficiently take down key enemies while the rest of your team advances. |
| 3 |  Focus on the Summoner First While Ramza handles enemies above, have the rest of your squad prioritize the Summoner since her wide-area spells can hit your units even from her starting position. Use Boco (or another Chocobo) to cross terrain and reach her side faster. Once across, dismount to fetch your other units so you can regroup inside and finish off remaining enemies efficiently. |
Battle 38 B: Fort Besselat: North Wall Guide
Battle 39: Fort Besselat Sluice
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Defeat the Black Mages First Take out the Black Mages before anyone else, as they can deal heavy AoE damage. Use Mustadio on Team A and your Mystic on Team B to Disable the Black Mages with Arm Shot and Hesitation respectively, then follow up with attacks from Ramza or Agrias. Eliminating them early will make the rest of the fight much safer. Black Mages tend to stay near elevated spots so positioning your Black Mage to counter with its elevation ignoring spells can take them down even quicker. |
| 2 |  Clear the Other Knights and Archers Once the mages are gone, shift your attention to the Knights and Archers. The Knights near the floodgate levers will hold their ground, so you can isolate and eliminate the ranged units first. Although the mission’s main objective is to open the gate by pulling the levers, it’s easier and safer to defeat all enemies first. Doing so prevents counterattacks while interacting with the switches, and clears the field for a smooth finish. |
| 3 |  Protect Your Party This fight can get rough if you’re underleveled. Make sure everyone can heal themselves, especially Team B (Agrias and the Mystic) by equipping secondary abilities like White Magicks or Items. If you have Angel Rings, equip them for Reraise to survive sudden spell bursts or crits. Once all enemies are defeated, pull the floodgate levers to release the water and complete the battle. |
Battle 39: Fort Besselat Sluice Guide
Battle 40: Mount Germinas
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Scout and Secure the Invisibility Cloak Deploy a unit with the lowest Bravery and change their job to a Chemist with the Treasure Hunter ability. Their mission is to grab the Invisibility Cloak buried on the plateau above. Since the chance of getting the rare treasure equals 100 minus your Bravery, a low-Bravery Chemist has the best odds. If you pull an Ether instead, don’t hesitate to reset and retry. ► How to Raise or Lower Bravery |
| * | Invisibility Cloak Greatly Helps in Learning Ultima Later On The Invisibility Cloak is essential later when learning Ultima. This is the only map where you can get this cloak, so make sure to secure it. ►Invisibility Cloak Stats and How to Get |
| 2 |  Split the Party for Efficiency When the battle starts, your party will automatically split. Have Ramza, Agrias, and your Chemist on the right side near the buried treasure zone, while Mustadio and Orlandeau handle the right flank. Orlandeau can solo his side easily, so focus on protecting your Chemist with Ramza and Agrias while clearing out nearby Thieves or the Ninja that could interfere. Agrias’ Holy Sword skills can clear enemies from range, while Ramza’s Tailwind can help your Chemist take more turns between enemy attacks. |
| 3 |  Eliminate Remaining Enemies Once the Invisibility Cloak is secured, unleash your heavy hitters. Prioritize defeating the Ninja first since they’re fast and evasive, then move on to the Thieves, and finally the Archers. |
Battle 40: Mount Germinas Guide
Battle 41: Lake Poescas
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Bring Two Chemists and Lots of Phoenix Downs Since all enemies here are undead, Chemists are your MVPs here as each Phoenix Down they throw will instantly one hit an enemy. Keep them at a safe distance behind your melee fighters. Meanwhile, Ramza should engage the Archers to draw fire away from your support units. |
| 2 |  Prioritize the Mystic and Summoner Have Orlandeau and Agrias take down the Mystic and Summoner first since they’re the biggest threats due to their ailment infliction and AoE spells. Their Holy Sword skills ignore elevation, letting them easily strike from higher ground. |
| 3 |  Once the spellcasters are down, focus on the Archers. Ramza should steal their weapons, the rare Artemis Bows, which aren’t available in shops. Monks’ high speed makes this easier. After you’ve secured the loot, you can freely end the battle either by tossing Phoenix Downs at remaining undead or finishing them off with standard attacks. |
| 4 | Beware of Undead Reviving Remember that undead enemies have a chance to resurrect when their heart counters reaches zero instead of turning into a crystal or treasure chest. If that happens, just repeat the same process, throw another Phoenix Down or hit them again until they stay down for good. |
Battle 42: Limberry Castle Gate
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| * |  Prepare for Consecutive Battles The three battles at Limberry Castle, starting with Limberry Castle Gate, are consecutive, and will not allow returning to the outfitter between stages. Make sure to acquire all equipment and items you need before entering the first battle! You can also create a manual save before beginning in case you need to retry the full sequence. |
| 1 |  Defend Against Status Effects All the enemies here will use debilitating status effects. We recommend becoming immune to as many of the effects as possible through gear. Equip the rare Barrette accessory, find and use Ribbons, and wear the Jade Armlet to gain immunity to most status effects. If you can, bring no male units (except Ramza and Orlandeau) to prevent them from being Charmed by the enemy. |
| * | If you wish to learn the Ultima spell here, Ramza should also wear the Invisibility Cloak. This will make him invisible at the start of battle until he performs an action, preventing him from being targeted by enemy status spells for a short period. |
| 2 |  Be Immune to Bring Out Ultima Celia and Lettie will be more likely to target your party with Ultima if most of your members are immune to their status effects. Bring Ramza close to an Ultima-targeted ally so that he will be hit by the AOE. If he survives, he'll learn Ultima! |
| 3 |  Focus Down One Assassin After learning Ultima (or if you just want to move on), simply focus your damage on either Celia or Lettie. Despite the objective saying to Defeat All Enemies, the battle will end when one Assassin is reduced to critical health. After the battle, you'll proceed directly into the next stage. ▶Limberry Castle Keep |
Battle 42: Limberry Castle Gate Guide
Battle 43: Limberry Castle Keep
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Equip Japa Malas Before Battle Before entering the battle, reequip your entire party with the Japa Mala accessory. This protects them from being turned into Vampires by Elmdore. |
| 2 |  Defeat the Assassins and Ultima Demons Focus damage on the Assassins first. After they go down once, they'll turn into Ultima Demons. Taking them out early reduces chaos on the battlefield and prevents them from assisting Elmdore or using their potent status magic. |
| 3 |  Focus on Elmdore Your main target is Elmdore, the bloodsucking Ark Knight. Use Sword Techniques to inflict damage, then repeatedly Steal from him to nab the Genji set. Lowering his Bravery will reduce his parry chance, making it easier to land hits and Steal attempts. Immobilizing Elmdore and Disabling Lettie and Celia makes this battle much easier. Use stuns, slow effects, or other control abilities to limit his movement and reduce the threat from Vampire. |
| * | Elmdore’s Vampire drains HP and turns characters into Vampires who act independently. Heal bitten characters with Holy Water if needed. |
| 4 |  Take Down the Silver Prince Defeating Elmdore ends the battle, moving you on to the next stage. ▶Limberry Castle Undercroft |
Battle 43: Limberry Castle Keep Guide
Battle 44: Limberry Castle Undercroft
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Watch Out for Undead Knights’ Break Abilities Zalera is flanked by a pair of undead Knights. These Knights can use Arts of War and break your precious equipment if allowed to run free. Take them out quickly, or use the Safeguard passive to defend your gear. |
| 2 |  Focus Orlandeau and Agrias on Zalera Use Orlandeau and Agrias to focus their ire on Zalera, with Ramza in support. Ramza can also use Purification and Chakra to cure ailments and heal and cure ailments. Keep the rest of the party out of his spell range, or spread them thin to force him to attack a single character instead of multiple. |
| 3 |  Beware of Status Ailments Zalera continuously casts status ailment spells, including ones that can inflict Stop, Doom, Sleep, Confuse, and Toad on multiple party members. Ensure that damage-dealers like Orlandeau have gear to prevent these effects, as the battle can slow considerably without Judgement Blade available to focus down Zalera. |
| 4 |  Get Help From Meliadoul Meliadoul participates in the battle, and is positioned to help attack the the undead skeletons that appear behind your party. Combine her Unyielding Blade with Mustadio and your Chemist's abilities to make short work of the minor foes.This will free up your main fighters to focus on Zalera! After beating Zalera and cleaning up the remaining undead, Meliadoul will join the party permanently, and you'll be ready for your next battle. ▶Eagrose Castle |
Battle 44: Limberry Castle Undercroft Guide
Battle 45: Eagrose CastleKeep
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Prepare for a Two-Part Battle This fight against Dycedarg has two phases, his human form and his transformation into Adrammelech, the Wroth. Equip everyone with Jade Armlets to nullify Stone from Adrammelech's attacks. ►Dycedarg and Adrammelech Boss Guide |
| 2 |  Avoid rushing up the stairs as five enemy Knights are waiting there with Rend abilities ready to destroy your gear. Instead, have your party, Orlandeau, Agrias, Meliadoul, and your Black Mage, attack from below using Holy Sword skills and spells that ignore height differences. Ramza as a Brawler Ninja can also help from below using Ultima (if you have it) or ranged attacks. Keep all your damage focused on Dycedarg; once he falls, the first phase ends regardless of remaining enemies. |
| * | Optional: Try Stealing Dycedarg’s Defender If you’re feeling bold, you can try stealing Dycedarg’s Defender Sword, but it’s risky. Equip Steal, Safeguard, Auto-Potion, and Ignore Elevation if you plan to attempt it. |
| 3 |  Defeat Adrammelech Once Dycedarg transforms into Adrammelech, the battle becomes far deadlier. He uses Bahamut, Leviathan, and can still inflict Confuse, though Stone will no longer be a problem thanks to your Jade Armlets. Avoid clustering your strongest units like Orlandeau and Meliadoul as Adrammelech’s AoE summons can devastate tight groups. Spread out your team, heal status effects immediately, and keep pressure on him with sword skills and magic until he falls. |
| * |  Your Black Mage with Arithmeticks can turn the tide of battle here as instant, MP-free casting makes them devastating against both Dycedarg and Adrammelech. Combine that with Auto-Potion support for survival, and you’ll have both offense and defense covered. |
Battle 45: Eagrose Castle Guide
Battle 46: Mullonde Cathedral
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| * |  Prepare for Consecutive Battles The battles at Mullonde Cathedral, starting here, are consecutive. You will not be able to return to the World Map or Outfitter until finished. Acquire any items or equipment you need before starting, and create a manual save in case you need to restart the sequence. |
| 1 |  Deploy to Cover Both Sides Your team will deploy in two groups. Make sure you have a strong fighter like Orlandeau or Agrias on either side. Group 1 will face Geomancers and a Summoner, while Group 2 faces Orators. |
| 2 |  Eliminate the White Mage A sneaky White Mage hides on the Cathedral roof, between the two towers. He can heal and raise multiple enemies at once using Cure and Raise augmented with Arithmeticks. Take him out first to keep the battle under control. |
| 3 |  Get On Their Level Take advantage of height-ignoring abilties to deny your foes the safety of the rooftop. Fighters with Ignore Elevation can make quick work of the squishy spellcasters taking shelter atop the building. Agrias can also Silence the Orators thanks to the effect of Hallowed Bolt. ▶All Status Effects Explained |
| 4 |  Steal the Dragon Rod The Summoner on the roof holds the valuable Dragon Rod weapon. If you have a unit with Steal, try taking it for yourself before eliminating the rest of the enemies. Once all enemies are down, you'll breach the Cathedral and move on. ▶Mullonde Cathedral Nave |
Battle 46: Mullonde Cathedral Guide
Battle 47: Mullonde Cathedral Nave
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Focus Fire on Cletienne or Loffrey You’ll start the battle against Folmarv, Loffrey, and Cletienne, but you don’t actually need to defeat all three. Cletienne has the lowest HP, making him the easiest target, while Loffrey is the closest to your starting position. Choose whichever fits your team’s reach and damage output. Ramza as a Brawler Ninja can quickly close in for burst damage, Mustadio can use Aimed Shot while healing as a Chemist, and the rest of the team should use ranged Holy Sword or Crush abilities to wear enemies down fast. |
| 2 |  Break the Enemy's Weapons The enemies love using Unyielding Blade skills that can destroy your gear. To counter this. have Agrias use Rend Weapon, or let Orlandeau and Meliadoul use Crush Weapon to disable their swords. This prevents them from using sword skills and weakens their attacks. |
| 3 |  Battle Ends Once One Enemy Falls The fight automatically ends once any of the three enemies drops to critical HP or is defeated. Focus your strongest attacks to bring one down quickly, once they retreat, you’ll face them again later in the story. But first you must do one last battle on Mullonde's Sanctuary. ► Mullonde Sanctuary Walkthrough |
Battle 47: Mullonde Cathedral Nave Guide
Battle 48: Mullonde Cathedral Sanctuary
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Defend Against Vampirism After your battles with Elmdore, a second vampire boss has hit the party. Zalbaag can turn your characters into vampires, so you'll want to equip Japa Malas and have Holy Water handy for any characters ready to mitigate this threat. ▶All Status Effects Explained |
| 2 |  Crush Zalbaag's Sword Zaalbag can whip out a powerful sword attack as an Ark Knight, but you can use Rend Weapon or Crush Weapon to destroy his sword, permanently denying this powerful ability. Don't worry about stealing the weapon: Zalbaag's Runeblade is available in stores. |
| 3 |  Disable the Ultima Demons In case you're getting hassled by Zalbaag's companion Ultima Demons, try using Mustadio's Arm Shot or other abilities that inflict Disable to prevent them from acting. |
| * | If you haven’t done so yet, this is a chance for Ramza to learn Ultima. Ensure Ramza is a Gallant Knight, positioned in range, and in good condition in case an Ultima Demon casts the spell. ▶How to Learn Ultima |
| 4 |  Beat Zalbaag to End the Fight Only Zalbaag needs to be defeated to end the battle. The Ultima Demons cannot be tamed or poached, so it's more efficient to focus your attacks on him, provided your party can weather the demons' damage. After you win, you'll return to the World Map and begin preparing for the final stretch of main story battles. You may also take up side quests like Secrets Beneath Goug before proceeding, if you haven't yet. |
Battle 48: Mullonde Cathedral Sanctuary Guide
Battle 49: Monastery Vaults Fourth Level
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Prepare Before Entering Battle Starting this battle will lock you into the final five consecutive fights of the game. Before committing, complete the Cloud quest or challenge a few levels of Midlight's Deep to obtain rare items and gain additional experience. Purchase and equip your strongest armor, weapons, accessories, helms, and shields. Being fully equipped will help your party endure the upcoming gauntlet. |
| 2 |  Defeat All Enemy Units This is the last battle in the series where the objective is to defeat all enemies. The enemy composition includes powerful melee attackers and units capable of breaking equipment. Equip Safeguard to protect your gear from being destroyed by Rend skills. Orlandeau and Agrias should handle the frontlines, Meliadoul can weaken enemy defenses, and your Black Mage should stay elevated to avoid unnecessary movement while casting large-area spells. |
| 3 |  Unleash the Arithmeticks Black Mage The Black Mage has the highest Magick stat of any class, making them the ideal choice for the Arithmeticks command. Equip this skill to instantly cast high-tier spells such as Graviga, Holy, and Flare without consuming MP. If the Arithmetician job hasn’t been unlocked yet, consider obtaining it before attempting this fight as it will be invaluable in the upcoming battles. Pair this setup with Auto-Potion (preferably with X-Potions) to sustain your caster while they obliterate enemy formations. |
| * | Be aware that Arithmeticks can also target your allies depending on the formula used. To counter this, learn White Magic spells like Cura, Arise, and Wall, allowing your Black Mage to heal or buff teammates when no safe offensive targets are available. |
| 4 | Proceed to the Next Battle Once all enemies are defeated, the story immediately transitions into the next fight without any downtime, so make sure your party is healed and properly equipped before the final sequence begins. ► Monastery Vaults: Fifth Level Walkthrough |
Battle 55: Monastery Vaults: Fourth Floor Guide
Battle 50: Monastery Vaults Fifth Level
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  The battle starts with your team scattered across a wide area. If you rush forward, your units will easily get surrounded by the enemy. It’s safer to hold position and wait for Loffrey to advance first. While waiting, use this time to buff your team, have Ramza use Shout and Tailwind, and your White Mage to cast Haste or Wall. Once Loffrey moves into your range, move in together and corner him for a quick takedown. |
| 2 |  Loffrey’s Save the Queen gives him access to powerful Unyielding Blade attacks. Before launching an all-out offensive, make sure to neutralize his weapon with Steal Weapon, Rend Weapon, or Crush Weapon. Once disarmed, he becomes much easier to handle, focus all your attacks on him using strong physical strikes or spells like Holy to bring him down quickly. |
| 3 |  While your heavy hitters deal with Loffrey, have your other units control the battlefield. Target enemy Black Mages, Summoners, and Time Mages as they’re capable of heavy AoE damage and annoying debuffs like Slow. Clearing them early will prevent your team from getting overwhelmed. |
| 4 | Proceed to the Next Battle Once Loffrey and all enemies are defeated, the fight will automatically transition into the next battle, so make sure your team is in good shape before delivering the final blow. ►Necrohol of Mullonde Walkthrough |
Battle 56: Monastery Vaults: Fifth Level Guide
Battle 51: Necrohol of Mullonde
| # | Step-by-Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 | Team A Offense, Team B Support Team A with Ramza as a Brawler Ninja with Auto-Potion, Agrias, and Orlandeau are your main attackers. Focus all efforts on damaging Cletienne. Meanwhile, Team B with Beowulf and Meliadoul should focus on debuffing the enemy. Beowulf can inflict Disable or Silence on enemies (especially Cletienne), while Meliadoul uses her Crush abilities to destroy their equipment and reduce their effectiveness. |
| 2 |  Most of the enemies here are Samurais and Ninjas, both dangerous at close range. Stay back and pick them off from a distance with spells and ranged skills. Ramza can go in for melee attacks since his Auto-Potion ensures survivability, but everyone else should play it safe and support from range. The enemy Time Mages can buff others with Haste, so take them down early to keep the tempo in your favor. |
| 3 |  Cletienne has a unique ability called Magick Surge that raises his Magick stat every time he takes damage. This can snowball quickly if unchecked, so have Beowulf cast Silence on him immediately. Even if his Magick skyrockets, he won’t be able to use any spells. Once Cletienne falls, the battle ends and the next encounter begins immediately, make sure to patch up your units before finishing him off. ►Lost Sanctuary Walkthrough |
Battle 57: Necrohol of Mullonde Guide
Battle 52: Lost Halidom
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Prepare for Battle Before the fight begins, equip your party for maximum elemental protection. Use Flame Shields (Absorbs Fire, Halves Ice), White Robes (Halves Fire, Ice, and Lightning damage), Thief’s Cap (Speed +2, Immune to Disable and Immobilize), and Rubber Boots(Immune to Immobilize and Lightning). These will counter the Hydra and Tiamat’s elemental breath attacks and Barich’s Disable and Immobilize spells. |
| 2 | Do Not Have Everyone Cross to the Other Side Since most of your units can attack from a distance, let them stay on your starting side. Send only Ramza across the map to directly engage Barich. His Auto-Potion will help him stay alive while your backline dishes out damage safely from afar. |
| 3 |  Handle the Chemist First Before Other Enemies While your main attackers focus on Barich, make sure to eliminate the Chemist early. They can heal or revive allies with X-Potions and Phoenix Downs, prolonging the fight unnecessarily if ignored. |
| 4 | Use Mustadio to Disable Enemies The monster units can be relentless especially since Hydra and Tiamat attack up to three times per turn. Have Mustadio use his Arm Shot to inflict Disable, preventing them from acting and giving your team breathing room. Even with elemental resistance from gear, it’s safer to shut them down early. |
| 5 |  Conclude the Battle Once Barich is defeated, the battle ends even if other enemies remain. You can safely ignore the remaining monsters to conserve resources and move on to the next fight. |
Battle 53: Airship Graveyard
Walkthrough Guide Versus Hashmal
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Prepare Your Party Before entering the Airship Graveyard, ensure your units are fully equipped with endgame weapons. Equip Black Garb or Jade Armlets to make your team immune to Hashmal’s Stop ability. The rest of your units should focus on high burst damage while using Auto-Potion to sustain through heavy hits. |
| 2 | Do Not Clump Together Hashmal uses wide-area attacks that can wipe clustered units. Keep your formation spread out and attack from a distance whenever possible. Let Ramza act as your close-range attacker to bait Hashmal’s strikes. Once Hashmal falls, you’ll receive Ragnarok as a reward and get the chance to reorganize your party before the final showdown against Ultima. ►How to Beat Ultima |
Walkthrough Guide Versus Ultima
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 | Reorganize Your Party After defeating Hashmal, your HP and MP will automatically be restored, giving you time to prepare before facing Ultima. Replace Meliadoul with Mustadio equipped as a Chemist he’ll be your main item support, supplying X-Potions, Elixirs, and High Ethers to your party. Don’t forget to equip Ragnarok, the sword you just earned from the previous battle, and make sure everyone still has Auto-Potion set for emergencies. Also, swap your Black Mage to a Time Mage with Arithmeticks, so they can cast Graviga when Arithmeticks cannot target the enemy. |
| 2 |  Defeat the Ultima Demons First The fight begins with Ultima and several Ultima Demons surrounding your team. These demons use powerful AoE skills like Almagest, which deals a percentage of your HP as damage. Prioritize eliminating them first to reduce incoming pressure. If any of them crystallize, do not let Ultima reach those crystals as she can absorb them to fully restore her HP. Keep Mustadio on standby to heal allies and use Arm Shot if possible to Disable the Demons’ offense. |
| 3 |  Go All Out on Ultima Once the Ultima Demons are defeated, focus all attacks on Ultima. Use Ramza, Orlandeau, and Agrias to unleash their strongest physical skills while your Time Mage casts Graviga through Arithmeticks to shave off a huge portion of her HP. Auto-Potion will keep your team standing through her powerful magic bursts, so maintain pressure and heal as needed until the next phase begins. |
| 4 |  Prepare for the Second Phase When Ultima reaches low HP, the second phase begins, she’ll regain strength and access stronger spells. Stay close to Alma, who can cast Aegis for extra protection. You can also manipulate Ultima’s behavior by clustering your units as she’ll often waste turns casting Dispelja to remove buffs instead of using deadlier magic. Once she starts casting, spread your units out again to avoid further AoE damage. Keep the offensive going until she finally falls, concluding the main story battle. |
