can you kill the swamp thing?

You can make it across without a chocobo and not run into him...it's just a matter of precise timing...

and luck.

Pain in the ass for me. i kill it then i run to get to the entrance it comes back and kills my weak party, stay away and just come back tougher and get you lovely revenge


ps sorry about my english i am working on it

Just get a Chocobo. It's MUCH easier. If you're having a hard time getting one.... Level up, that solves about every problem in the game.

:D There is away to get across wit out a chocobo.
You jus wait in till the mg is in the corner of the swamp then start runnin when it`s just about to touch u go to the menu and save then soft reset the mg should now be in the corner of the swamp!
But i`d jus go wit the chocobo because u can lvl up while searching 4 a chocobo too> :D

ooo, saving in the swamp. Clever! I'd be more comfortable just doing it in one go, unless you have more than one slot on your memory card. If you can't do it while saving, well, I pray you don't have to start your whole game over. What happens if you accidently walk right on top of the MG's starting spot and your characters are weak so it's hard to run away?

I'd only use the saving strategy that red 14 mentioned if you have an extra slot just in case you get totally screwed.

Took me a while to understand what Weimar was/is saying, but I understand now, very very good thought. To put it simply;

Let's say you save at the swamp just as the monster is about to engage battle with you. You reset, and something goes wrong, and the monster immediatly engages you every time you re-load your save, meaning the fight with it is inevitable, thus is a loss, bye bye save game.

Use a different slot.
