FFIV the control defense system in the giant thingy

ShunNakamura · 06-12-2005, 05:42 AM

Alright this thing is giving me a pain in the .. well everywhere.

Party is
FuSoYa lvl 50
Rosa lvl 37
Cecil lvl 34
Rydia lvl 33
Edge lvl 35

Right I decided to try to reflect is one-hit-K.O. spell.. to no avail.. couldn't be that easy.

I have reflected spells off my walls.. back at him.. nice and dandy cept I never hit what I want it to.. and then he just one hits me.. usually targeting Rosa and FuSoYa and taking them out before they can attempt to revive one another.. actually he can fry just about all 5 of them before I can get a turn in edgewise. *sigh* my guess is that my lvls are a bit low. Particually since the only one dealing noticable damage is FuSoYa.

Also Rydia has basically no summons yet... thought I would run around and see if I could get some after getting back from the moon. Now I am stuck here.. Well tips would be appreciated.. but if it is just "go lvl up" I will not be happy.

oh boy do I feel stupid. He fell like a little kid(ok not quite my party was completely out of mp(and that includes the aid I had from ethers and Aspir) by the time I was done.. and it took ages but meh).

Unfortunately I am now having trouble with attaining the summons. Such as Odin, Leviathan. etc. I know where they are at.. bah.. but I can't beat them. I will assume blocking Odin's Iron sword is NOT an option.

if you can get past Evil Wall then you should be able to defeat it

If you want to stick it to the Odin, then use Lit spells on him. There's some point in the game where somebody mentions a story about how he was defeated after lightning struck his sword (granted he was most likely stood on a mountain in the rain with full metal armour on shouting "Thor you wuss, I'd like to see you get me!").

For Odin, use a Lit3 spell on him as soon as you can. When he raises his sword he MUST be struck before he swings it or you'll die. If you don't have Lit3, don't even try. But if you do, one bolt should be enough.

Edit: pretty much all of the battles in this game require a certain level to be successful. Leviathan and Bahamut as well. I think the "no leveling challenge" is really, really hard here.

If you have Kain befor this fight you can time it out and jump before odin kills everyone so kain lives and then revives everyone

I may have to try the timing out thing with kain...

And no Rydia lacks Thunder3. What a pain :P

heh not trying to do one, at least not on purpose. I just don't like fighting ever random battle.. way too many in this game. And I ended up running from nearly every single one. the random battles are boring as can be.

Anyways if any thunder spell will break his attack I can try that.

[edit] Levithan wasn't too tough, I just had to beserk cecil and have edge rajin him.. he went down easy enough.. that excalibar sword hurts... beserked cecil hits harder then kains jump!(on levithan anyways).

However Odin is a pain... and I guess it has to be thunder3.. cause thunder2 certinally didn't work

. As for the kain trick... I can't revive quick enough, if I try he just iron swords kain and the newly revived character. And kain suffers enough damage inbetween iron swords that I can't win just by timing jumps.. maybe.. I could potion but Hi potions arn't good enough.. and I don't know where to obtain X-potions.

[edit2] Got Bahamat(sp?). he was easy too.. though my party really took a beating.. thank goodness I had some of those reflect casting items to use.

Careful about Bersking Cecil, he'll eventually get to a level where Bersk won't work on him. Kain and Edge, yes, but not Cecil.

As for Odin, there's not much you can do. I would have said to do it while you had FuSoYa in your party, but now he's gone and Kain's back. Just have Kain jump--as was said, hopefully you can time it so that he doesn't get hacked up, and (especially if he's Hasted) would have time to get some of the other characters back up and running. Bahamut might help quite a bit, too, if you don't have Lit3 yet. You should by now though, I think, or shouldn't be too far off from getting it.

ShunNakamura · 06:43 AM

Well I don't know when Rydia gets lit 3.. but I she is lvl 35 now.

Anyways I guess I'll give him another shot. Hopefully hasted kain will do his job.

[edit] nope no good. Need some lvls then.

All that happens is after kain jumps, kain suffers 300-500 damage(close to 1/3 hp). If I try to revive, odin raises his sword and attacks just before kain can get airborne. This is with haste. If I try to heal, same deal... I hate it when you have to go out and random battle just for lvls.

edit- any good lvling places :P?
