Part 46: Failing so hard it loops back to success
![](1-FF5UpdateTwentyFour01.png)
With Grand Aevis beaten the rest of the Sealed Temple opens up
![](2-FF5UpdateTwentyFour02.png)
First, a room with massive amounts of treasure.
![](3-FF5UpdateTwentyFour03.png)
It's mostly rare mix items.
![](4-FF5UpdateTwentyFour04.png)
There's also this.
![](5-FF5UpdateTwentyFour05.png)
This baby halves all elements. Again, more awesome in a normal game.
![](6-FF5UpdateTwentyFour06.png)
Another sword.
![](7-FF5UpdateTwentyFour07.png)
Stronger then the Ragnarok, found in a completely random chest.
![](8-FF5UpdateTwentyFour08.png)
This one is a bit less major.
![](9-FF5UpdateTwentyFour09.png)
Another weapon more useful in random encounters.
![](10-FF5UpdateTwentyFour10.png)
Every. Single. Gimmick.
![](11-FF5UpdateTwentyFour11.png)
This is a great item.
![](12-FF5UpdateTwentyFour12.png)
The Hyper Wrist just increases Strength... and is practically the only non-weapon to increase attack.
![](13-FF5UpdateTwentyFour13.png)
Next there's a giant waterfall.
![](14-FF5UpdateTwentyFour14.png)
More loot is found.
![](15-FF5UpdateTwentyFour15.png)
The Royal Crown is the best hat in the game in terms of pure stats. While it has a problem with lack of status protection of special effects, the +1 to Agility and Magic make it a little more worthwhile then stuff like the Grand Helm.
![](16-FF5UpdateTwentyFour16.png)
Moving on.
![](17-FF5UpdateTwentyFour17.png)
Look, more coral rings.
![](18-FF5UpdateTwentyFour18.png)
Another new weapon.
![](19-FF5UpdateTwentyFour19.png)
Just a high powered Lance without any special effects or elements.
![](20-FF5UpdateTwentyFour20.png)
Oh huh?
![](21-FF5UpdateTwentyFour21.png)
Oh boy oh boy!
![](22-FF5UpdateTwentyFour22.png)
That sounds like fun to murder!
![](23-FF5UpdateTwentyFour23.png)
Then the guy unlocks a jail cell way back on the first floor.
![](24-FF5UpdateTwentyFour24.png)
The second save point in this massive dungeon.
![](25-FF5UpdateTwentyFour25.png)
OK all the way back here.
![](26-FF5UpdateTwentyFour26.png)
![](27-FF5UpdateTwentyFour27.png)
Butz is dual wielding swords named after the end of the world because why not?
![:black101:](../Smilies/emot-black101.gif)
![](28-FF5UpdateTwentyFour28.png)
![](29-FF5UpdateTwentyFour29.png)
Lenna's going Support today. Hide and Revive are pretty important.
![](30-FF5UpdateTwentyFour30.png)
![](31-FF5UpdateTwentyFour31.png)
Krile is also doing support, with a big of offense.
![](32-FF5UpdateTwentyFour32.png)
![](33-FF5UpdateTwentyFour33.png)
And Faris has the Masamune equipped for a convenient first strike.
![](34-FF5UpdateTwentyFour34.png)
What a jerk.
Boss Fight: Archeodemon
![](35-FF5UpdateTwentyFour35.png)
This guys nasty. He uses powerful magic like Flare and will also use Giga Flare but without the sudden vulnerability that Twintania had.
![](36-FF5UpdateTwentyFour36.png)
First I slow him down.
![](37-FF5UpdateTwentyFour37.png)
Then I attack him.
![](38-FF5UpdateTwentyFour38.png)
If you hit him or do pretty much anything but cast magic. He casts Death on himself. He's undead so this just restores him to full HP. I keep doing this. Why?
![](39-FF5UpdateTwentyFour39.png)
Because I'm going to cripple him by draining all his MP.
![](40-FF5UpdateTwentyFour40.png)
The only problem is Gigaflare doesn't actually cost MP.
![](41-FF5UpdateTwentyFour41.png)
That's why Lenna has Hide and Revive. Once he starts charging, she runs away.
![](42-FF5UpdateTwentyFour42.png)
When Gigaflare hits the rest of the party. (Faris got an Aegis Shield block)
![](43-FF5UpdateTwentyFour43.png)
She then brings back both KO'd members back instantly.
![](44-FF5UpdateTwentyFour44.png)
From then it's just a matter of hitting him and Magic Hammer.
![](45-FF5UpdateTwentyFour45.png)
Flare Sword goes up.
![](46-FF5UpdateTwentyFour46.png)
He's out of MP.
![](47-FF5UpdateTwentyFour47.png)
Power up.
![](48-FF5UpdateTwentyFour48.png)
And I hit him with the end of the world and meteors.
![](49-FF5UpdateTwentyFour49.png)
Low Level Final Fantasy V: Where I win by not just ignoring a boss's gimmick, but actively going against it.
![](50-FF5UpdateTwentyFour50.png)
He drops the Chaos Orb.
![](51-FF5UpdateTwentyFour51.png)
This is beyond useless. It boosts elemental spells but inflicts Sap. I have the Magus Rod. I can use that rather then this.
