Yeah I got the needle fork and just got all the first bunch of chocographs, about to enter the Grotto.... oh oh.

[Necronopticous]

Have fun in the Grotto. It's the first real hurdle in this challenge.

[Croyles]

I passed the grotto. The black mages were really really annoying! But the boss was really easy with limit glove.

I got the blue chocobo, all the available choco treasures and learned magic hammer.
Nearing end of disc 1

It sounds like you're doing very well -- keep it up. I suspect you won't have much trouble until Cleyra.

[Croyles]

oh god cleyra, i dont remember too much from that part of the game, but im sure there were quite a lot of those 'unavoidable' battles.

EDIT: Im at Treno now, and I realised I forgot one the Leo stellazio from Alexandria, which means I cant get the blood sword yet, is this a big problem?

EDITGA: Oh wait, cant get that till disc 3, i forgot the Taurus because i reloaded the save and didnt pick it up I cried aloud with mirth and merriment.

Im at Alexandria again now. Im really annoyed with my walkthrough because it told me that buying REFLECT RING really was just an option, it didnt tell me how much easier it makes life otherwise i would have bought it. GRRRRRRRRR.

[Croyles]

Sigh, ok, after the 5th try I actually managed to get past the 3 mages and to the second last bandersnatch battle with freya and beatrix before they put beatrix to sleep and then killed her GRRRRRRR!!!

Now i have to try all over again

EDIT: YES! YES! YES! I just managed to get past all the mages and bandersnatches. I think that might have been THE most INTENSE series of battles ive ever played in a Final Fantasy. I was so frustrated but now im just elated!!

That's the very reason to do these kind of challenges. The intense feeling when it's getting close in a battle you've tried and failed numerous times before, and especially the feeling when you finally manage to win. No normal playtrough ever offers you the same intensity.

Yep, it was definitely fun. Frustrating, but also fun l0l.

BTW, the guide is telling me to synthesise a relfect ring (havnt got one yet) in the black mage village, but I need an Anklet to do so. Now, I checked in all the guides and there seems to be no way to get an anklet up to this point in the game, so why is it telling me that he did so and that I need it?

I should of just auctioned it in Treno, but the ironically the guide told me I didnt need it and it was 'entirely' optional. l0l.

So um, is it really necessary to have it now?
