FFI super weapon

karatehero · 08-12-2005, 07:46 PM

I was reading a ditty on superplay movies, and I read this:

"Those of you not familiar with this game will be disappointed by the anticlimactic ending. There appears to be an uber-weapon that casts an uber-spell that kills literally everything in the game in one hit, even the final boss. It's pretty lame, though you can't exactly blame mookish for poor game design." -xebra

What do you think he's talking about. I read that in FFI dawn of souls you can get to some extra dungeons. Is that what he is refering to? I'm assuming that there aren't any super goodies in the PS remake of the game?

The only thing that comes to mind is the Bane Sword, but that's only reliable to use on Tiamat. Is it a tool-assisted run? If so, he could have used savestates to manipulate probability such that it would work every time.

actually bane works on most monsters... not only tiamat but also kracken

Yes, but it's described as killing every single enemy without fail, including Chaos, leading me to believe that it's tool-assisted.

I was reading that some versions of FF1 have extra dungeons? Is that true? Maybe its this Ultima Weapon that people mentioned?

There are weapons that cast Flare and such, but that's still not enough to kill any of the tougher bosses in one hit.

I finally watched the movie (I had a bunch of Codec problems that needed fixed).

It turns out that the guy in the video used the Bane Sword as an item in the game. I popped up saying "Poison Smoke" and killed anyone it touches. Even Chaos just was "Terminated".

Now, I know in those superplay movies they manipulate luck heavily so you won't get attacked, or can always run, etc...

I just wasn't aware that the Bane Sword could cause a 1 hit kill?

If you want to check it out, go here. If you want to watch it, you should probably watch the FCEU movie, unless you really want to download 212 Meg. I can write out instructions to tell anyone interested how to get them to work. It took me some fiddleing!

Its official, I found this on gamefaqs:

The Bane Sword's use might elude you at first, given when and where you get it.
Finding a weapon on the first level of the Floating Palace would usually mean
it's going to be something of worth, yes? So what's the deal with this hunk of
orange metal, that can only be used by 3 Prestige classes and is actually
weaker (in damage) than the Silver Sword? Wellsir, it's uniqueness lies in is
magical ability; when used as an item, the Bane Sword casts the spell of BANE
on all enemies. As with other weapons that give an infinite use of spells,
this one's usefulness is instantly increased...and not because of its attack
power. It doesn't have much in the way of damage going for it, but it makes up
for it by allowing its wielder to cast an Insta-Kill spell whenever they want.
Since you do not have to have the Bane Sword equipped, this means that even a
simple White Mage (or, shoot, even a Black Belt) can have it in their inventory
and be able to use it! Rock!

Damage: 22
Hit %: 20
Cost: N/A (Sell Price: 30,000 Gil)
Purchase Locations: N/A
Find Locations: Floating Palace, 1st Floor
Who Can Equip It: Knight, Ninja, Red Wizard
Special Properties: When used as an item in battle, the Bane Sword casts the
spell BANE on all enemies. This is especially useful for
taking out enemies that are suceptable to it without
worrying about using magic to get the job done.

Edit by Kishi: Okay, but don't double-post.
