Part 4: Attack while it's tail up...

Chapter 4: Attack while it's tail up...

Don't worry, the Wind Shrine has no stupid wind puzzles. For the most part, FFV's dungeons lack puzzles.

Let's chat with the guys in the left room...

The wind suddenly stopped, and there are mosters in the shrine!

What about Father?

The king went up to the top floor... He has yet to return. Something must have happened to him...

The Crystal's on the top floor, right? Won't hurt to go up and take a look.

Faris... Come on!

Five free potions is a nice haul when they're your only healing option.

The urn contains healing water.

The crystal amplification machine suddenly stopped responding...

Upstairs at floor 2...

Black Goblins cast Goblin Punch more often then their lesser cousins. White Serpents are fools for your loving. Moldwynds cast Aero after so long. It hits for about 70, so kill them quick.

Tents restore a bunch HP and MP when used on the world map...

...Or on save points.

Free hat!

On to the third floor...

Uh-oh, that guy looks mean.

Better get this Broadsword for Faris(and selling later)!

Oh crap!

BOSS FIGHT! WING RAPTOR!

(The link is to its beasiary page)

Wing Raptor is simple because 1) He's the first boss, 2) He continues the trend of "Don't attack if X happens!" first bosses, and 3) You can't do anything besides hit him or use potions.

It should take about 7-9 hits to kill him, depending on if the RNG loves or hates you.

When his wings are closed, he counters all attacks with Nail Breath. Despite never getting a chance to close them, he casts Nail Breath anyway to spite me.

Ouch.

Despite that, he falls fairly fast.

There are encounters on floor 4, despite the boss.

I hope the crystal's safe!

It's shattered!

What the-

From a castle to the west, the crystal grants its essence to Faris...

From a tower to the east, the crystal grants its essence to Lenna...

From under the sands to the south, the crystal grants its essence to Galuf...

And from the Wind Crystal's remains...

...Burtz is granted its essence.

What...

What's Happening?

Feels warm...

Are these the crystal's... essences?

Le...nna...

Listen, and listen well. You are the four chosen ones, the warriors of light... bearers of the four crystal essences.

Father... What do you mean?

The Wind Crystal has already shattered. The other three crystals are in danger as well. You four must protect them! An evil presence is awakening... One which wishes to return our world to darkness...
