Part 27: Summons and Dragons.

And illusion oh how bad could it-
![](2-FF5UpdateFourteen02.png)
Oh. Look, classic "Evil castle" look.
![](3-FF5UpdateFourteen03.png)
Plenty of good loot in this place. The Ice Sheild absorbs ice attacks.
![](4-FF5UpdateFourteen04.png)
Geomancer! So handy when walking on lava.
![](5-FF5UpdateFourteen05.png)
The Hayate bow has a chance of using Rapidfire when it attacks, this is useful before, well, you get Rapidfire.
![](6-FF5UpdateFourteen06.png)
If you mess up the timing here you get into an inescapable fight. So don't mess it up.
![](7-FF5UpdateFourteen07.png)
Random new Katana.
![](8-FF5UpdateFourteen08.png)
The ice version of the Flametounge.
![](9-FF5UpdateFourteen09.png)
Yellow dragons can be told to use Hurricane on themselves, making catching them easy.
![](10-FF5UpdateFourteen10.png)
Thief and Ninja weapon that hits twice. It actually is a lance in damage calculations too. Sadly jumping with it doesn't give you its main gimmick of double attacking.
![](11-FF5UpdateFourteen11.png)
It's time for our next summon.
Boss Fight: Carbuncle
![](12-FF5UpdateFourteen12.png)
This thing casts Fira, Thundra, and Blizzara. By this point, however, I have enough elemental defenses to neutralize it mostly.
![](13-FF5UpdateFourteen13.png)
Since it exclusively casts magic, Magic Hammer slowly reduces it to powerlessness.
![](14-FF5UpdateFourteen14.png)
![](15-FF5UpdateFourteen15.png)
Then it becomes a cute little thing rather then the huge monster it was when you faught it.
![](16-FF5UpdateFourteen16.png)
Faris takes another one for the team.
![](17-FF5UpdateFourteen17.png)
Cheaper then Flare, so no reason not to use it against enemies it can hit.
![](18-FF5UpdateFourteen18.png)
Awww I wanted loot.
![](19-FF5UpdateFourteen19.png)
Oh Gilgamesh you card.
Boss Fight: Gilgamesh the Fourth
![](20-FF5UpdateFourteen20.png)
By this point I have these fights pretty standard.
![](21-FF5UpdateFourteen21.png)
![](22-FF5UpdateFourteen22.png)
Golem and Slow to keep us alive. Then Samsons Might up attack power. He's actually immune to Old this time, so no Ancient Sword antics.
![](23-FF5UpdateFourteen23.png)
Yeah, these have been fun fights.
![](24-FF5UpdateFourteen24.png)
![:smith:](../Smilies/emot-smith.gif)
![](25-FF5UpdateFourteen25.png)
I actually have to recast Golem due to so much damage being done.
![](26-FF5UpdateFourteen26.png)
Oh come on that's four or five Samson's Mights wasted!
![](27-FF5UpdateFourteen27.png)
![](28-FF5UpdateFourteen28.png)
![](29-FF5UpdateFourteen29.png)
I just wanted this entire segment shown.
![:allears:](../Smilies/emot-allears.gif)
![](30-FF5UpdateFourteen30.png)
Hint: It's not very good.
![](31-FF5UpdateFourteen31.png)
Genji Helm is the best helm in the game. High defense and immunity to two irritating statuses.
![](32-FF5UpdateFourteen32.png)
This would be higher if she hadn't been hit with that Dischord.
![:mad:](../Smilies/mad.gif)
![](33-FF5UpdateFourteen33.png)
Oh.. oh no. The boss is mad.
![](34-FF5UpdateFourteen34.png)
Bye Gilgamesh.
![:(](../Smilies/frown.gif)
![](35-FF5UpdateFourteen35.png)
Behold! Excalipoor. It actually is useful if you use Goblin Punch but whatever.
![](36-FF5UpdateFourteen36.png)
No screw you Exdeath you're not my real dad.
Boss Fight: Exdeath
![](37-FF5UpdateFourteen37.png)
Exdeath has a multitude of powerful magic and physical attacks.
![](38-FF5UpdateFourteen38.png)
I ignore this and just throw dragons at him. Yellow Dragon's Release attack does 1/4 the enemy's Max HP in damage. This means if you throw four dragons at something, anything with less then 39,996 HP will die in a single round.
![](39-FF5UpdateFourteen39.png)
Exdeath has 32,768 HP.
![](40-FF5UpdateFourteen40.png)
And I even learn some Blue Magic out of it.
![](41-FF5UpdateFourteen41.png)
Then the Crystals shatter!
![](42-FF5UpdateFourteen42.png)
Our heroes wake up somewhere strange...
![](43-FF5UpdateFourteen43.png)
And end up in front of Castle Tychoon.
Next Time: I pretend to be Indiana Jones.
