Final Fantasy Tactics Part #57 - Bethla Garrison's Sluice

Part 57: Bethla Garrison's Sluice

Beowulf gets Equip Sword, so I can get him a cool secondary command.

For Beowulf's Faith-based magic the Rune Blade's +2 MA would mean an extra percent now and then. MA isn't a very big deal to status spells. Norma loves it, as do most Geomancers since it provides more MA for Elemental in addition to being a strong weapon.

And I'm never using Ignore Height again. Mongrels.

Anyway Beowulf is taking time off since he's above everyone else in level and he's got his ability. Smash Lampjaw helps some more. That Tiamat is showing up a lot, isn't he?

There's a lot of guys here, huh?

: If I open it and release the water, they won't be able to fight!

So, instead of the usual condition of killing everybody, or killing someone in particular, we've got to open a floodgate.

There's a pair of over-leveled, overly faithful, well equipped Wizards here. They routinely fling level 3 and sometimes level 4 spells.

And this archer has an unbuyable bow!

Funny thing about this bow, it starts showing up on generic archers once they reach high enough level anyway. No real reason to get this one.

Oh Smash Lampjaw will you ever stop killing people? Next you're going to burn a crippled man to death aren't you? That's why I love you.

What a butt, that Wizard.

These two knights don't move at all unless something fucks with their AI like confusion.

: Probably by pulling the levers on both sides! I think I see them...but first I have to get there...

Clone tower GO!

Now Norma's a lot better with Draw Out as a Geomancer. Viable, even. It might be worth the MA hit from Wizard for a nice shield.

STOP CASTING SPELLS.

THAT MEANS ALL OF YOU.

Though near death, he just has to cling to the switch.

Smash solves that problem easily.

Oh you monster. I wanted that Wizard dead.

You aren't allowed to be alive!

After a Muramasa from Norma the other switch knight gets confused. This will bite me in the ass shortly.

Holy Explosion is stronger than Lightning Stab, after all.

What.

THAT COST 12,000 GIL YOU HORRIBLE PERSON!

STOP. BEING. ALIVE.

Ker-chunk. There's just one lever left, and there's a dead body on it.

People start crystalizing. Why not score some abilities?

Poor Beowulf has to miss all this.

Agrias gets some things.

This is the only battle I know of where every enemy can be dead and gone and the fight still go on.

Haha, fuck you knight, I got a free one. FUCK YOU KNIGHT, I GOT A FREE ONE!

Well it's not bad but why am I getting this for Eldena?

Well we've looted everything, let's get this over with.

That's not going to stop mu-

WOAH DAMN

Later, inside Bethla Garrison...

Ramza, Olan, and Balmafula enter.

: Yes, I'm fine.

: You've grown, I recognized you.

: You know me?

: Of course. It's no wonder you don't remember me. You were only 3 or 4 years old when I last saw you.

Orlandu has a hearty chuckle remembering the event.

: There were minimal losses from both sides. Thanks to Ramza, we were able to avoid all-out war.

: Is that so? Balbanes sure has a fine son. Let me thank you on behalf of everyone, Ramza.

: No need for thanks. I only did what was natural.

: You've inherited Balbanes' soul. He should be pleased...

: With your permission... Goltana's planning to kill you tomorrow. Please escape.

: Father, what she says is true. For now, let's...

: I know...I can't stay here while Goltana's like that. Olan, my son... this battle will end soon. I'll go with him. I must stop the High Priest, no matter what..

: Father, I'll go with you!!
