View Full Version : Pre-Final dungeon sidequests
OKay, in Final Fantasy VI I am nearing the end of the game. I got every character (all 14 :eek: ) trained most of them to level 40 (still working on 4) but now I want to know what are some sidequests that I should do for this portion of the game? Please don't say anything far beyond my skill level :p
If you're at level 40 you can pretty much handle Kefka's Tower. So yeah, just go kill Hidon, Doomgaze, and beat the Fanatic's Tower if you haven't done so yet.
I am fimiliar with Kefka's Tower unbelievably easy level.
But what about that one Doma one I heard about? Is that worthwhile?
Well, yeah. The Alexander Esper is a nice thing to have, along with the treasures in there. And it's the easy way of unlocking all of Cyan's Bushido skills.
OKay, one final question. In Kefka's tower when I need to divide my guys into three teams, what teams should I use? Tell me which team is fighting whom.
Group 1 fights Ultima Buster, Group 3 fights Inferno. And then depending on how you split them up when you reach the trisection, Whoever goes down the left path fights *Doom, the middle fights Guardian and *Poltergeist, and the right path fights *Goddess.
*I don't remember the renamed ones. =P

Go collect all the espers!
Have you tried travelling using Figaro Castle?
Have you checked out Ebot's Rock?
Have you scaled the Fanatic's Tower?
Have you defeated six dragons?
Have you calmed Cyan's mind?
Have you taken Locke to explore Narshe?
And check the crazy old man's house with Gau (might need Sabin too, not sure) for a funny scene that probably should have had a point but didn't.

Frankly, as long as you have at least one person capable of casting Ultima it doesn't really matter. I never actually bothered training all of my characters, just my main five or six, and never had any trouble. Ultima casters cast Ultima while the rest run support and/or attack as needed. Kills anything in the game.

Exactly.
I have two people who can cast Ultima. Setzer (don't ask why) and Celes. Terra has Ragnorock right now. I took Locke to explore Narshe pretty early on and just beat Hidon and beat Cultists Tower (my guess is in the other version fanatics tower?). Every character is level 40. I guess I just need to find Deathgaze again and hopes he doesn't flee and do the Odin and Doma side-quests.
His HP doesn't restore after he flees battle, so it takes a few encounters to take him down for good.

I recommend not using Ultima at all for the sake of a challenge, except perhaps against the new bonus bosses. It's nearly universally agreed that Ultima is ridiculously overpowered/undercosted, and the fact that any character can get it exacerbates this. Also avoid using economizers.

doesn't matter. I prefer Meltdown/Merton (depending on version) with fire absorbing equipment. Plus if you have gem box/thamasa soul you can use osmose then cast the spell. I love using Quick then osmose, then dominating with Meltdown or something. It's just so much fun wiping them out. BUT, that's my #6 character. I have Cyan, Sabin, Edgar, Locke, and Shadow (as Kappa) as my first 5, then Relm as my main magic caster!
(never thought I'd do that but after using her I figured she was best for pure magic out of everyone in the game. I mean sketch is horrible and control is worse, and Celes and Terra can get good weapons to attack, plus Strago will use Lore just cause)

Is there any special way to find Deathgaze easily?
Anyways, through the magical ability of Imp-armor spell abosrbtion of water I defeated Leviathan. Ya, got my favorite Summon.
Also where is a place to get a lot of AP? Need it for Ultima :D
Edit: Got Odin and defeated the Blue dragon and yesterday defeated the Holy Dragon. Four more dragons to find pre-Kefka's Tower

The desert below Miranda has Cactaurs for 10 AP. They also give 0 exp and 10,000 gold. So you can go there to learn spells, and not waste level bonuses. Just run from the other enemy if you don't want to gain levels.

If you havent yet, head to the dinosaur's forest and kill some guys there...you want at least one Economizer or whatever they are called now too help with stuff...
Have you unlocked the Curse Shield? The shiled obtained from that is very good for blocking magic and is a good overall shield.
Finally, because Mog is the greatest character of all time, go pick up a snow muffler/ or whatever it is called now...It will practically make Mog invincable due to its massive defense boost

celestriad = economizer
snow scarf = snow muffler
and the Paladin shield is by far the best shield in the game. Equip it on someone while learning magic and leveling in the Dino forest, and you'll uncurse it in no time. I uncursed mine a little after I got my first character to 99... that was a long time ago now considering I almost have my 6th to 99.

Do you train your characters alone?

personally, on lower levels I have a little trick I use. If you have a character do an attack(preferably killing blow) with a decent length attack animation, and as soon as they start it, you begin to run. When they finish the attack the other members will run and leave that person alone, giving them all the EXP. This is really useful when you have all low characters and need them all to damage. But later I just do it solo because it's easier to track esper bonuses and feels faster.

Odin becomes Raiden back at the castle by inspecting the statue.
Zona seeker you get at the auction house
Midgardsormr you should get when you get Umaro, by inspecting the bone statue he has there.
Alexander you get from going to Doma with Cyan in the party, and doing that whole quest, then going to the throne room.
I think that's it besides Diablos
THE JACKEL
Whoops, forgot a row. So I choose Odin or Raiden, but can't get both and I choose Raiden, correct?
Still need Zona Seeker, Diablos, and some other people I think.

well it use to be Raiden was the only way to learn Quick, but now Gilgamesh teaches it too... so I guess it's your choice. Odin doesn't teach anything special though, just Meteor at a rate of x1 while Crusader teaches it at x10. Better to get Raiden and teach two people Quick at the same time... it is my personal favorite spell.

Everyone knows Osmose and Ultima now, so off I go to Kefka's tower :D
