Part 43: And the all lived happily ever after
OK time to actually beat the final boss for real.![](1-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo01.png)
![](2-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo02.png)
Magic! Butz is ready to murder everything with Holy.
![](3-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo03.png)
![](4-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo04.png)
Attack! Flare spellblade will tear a new one in Exdeath.

Sing! Krile will be pretty much singing the entire time. Mimic with Equip Ribbons because I feel like it.
![](7-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo07.png)
![](8-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo08.png)
Support! Faris will be healing and buffing a lot.
![](9-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo09.png)
Oh yeah, time to actually finish off this fight.

The first stage of the fight is really pathetically easy. This means it's a prime time to set up buffs. In this case, Swift Song.

Flare Spellblade makes Lenna hit harder.
![](12-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo12.png)
Hastega goes up too because why not?
![](13-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo13.png)
Golem blocks that irritating vacuum wave attack.
![](14-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo14.png)
And Dragon Powers to up Lenna and Butz's damage.
![](15-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo15.png)
![](16-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo16.png)
Then I finally kill him.

Of course, the second half of the fight comes up.
Boss Fight: Neo Exdeath
![](18-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo18.png)
Neo Exdeath was the first Final Fantasy boss to have multiple forms. And it's kind of a doozy, four parts with their own attacks and separate HP you need to kill.
![](19-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo19.png)
![](20-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo20.png)
So let's get to killing.
![](21-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo21.png)
Rapidfire misses a lot so I just have Lenna attack for now.
![](22-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo22.png)
Now the big part of what makes Neo Exdeath tough is Algemest. It's a Holy elemental attack that hits all enemies. It would wipe out my party in one hit. So how do I deal with it? It's simple, really. The two top parts of Neo Exdeath are the ones who cast Algemest. I simply kill them before they can cast it.
![](23-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo23.png)
Once that's done I finish off the third part and there's there's a random bit of trivia.
![](24-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo24.png)
The final part isn't Heavy type. (Video Link here)
![](25-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo25.png)
So Odin gets the job of finishing off the final part. Good thing too, because otherwise it would start spamming Meteor.
![](26-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo26.png)
And so I beat Final Fantasy V with nobody above level 5.
![](27-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo27.png)
In all honesty, it wasn't that hard. It just required knowing exactly how to tackle each boss. And I know from guides and youtube videos that there are ways to handle them I didn't do.
![](28-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo28.png)
The hardest part was actually the Battle on the Big Bridge. I didn't know how to avoid getting EXP there. Then while searching around I found out that Jackanapes release Doom. So I reloaded an earlier save and caught them with a fair bit of difficulty.
![](29-FF5UpdateTwentyTwo29.png)
Still, now that I've beaten the game again, only this time with some crazy stuff added on.

It's been fun.
