[Shiva_]

bleh i keep trying i still cant beat the rooks...i went back down to train too but there arent enough save points and all of the imperials kill me so i dont know it seems impossible.

Do you have another save file at a section before entering draklor laboratory?

If you noticed at the draklor laboratory save crystals, there was a message in yellow print that suggested creating a 2nd save file because you weren't going to be able to leave that area easily.

Hopefully, you created a 2nd file. If so, you can use the one at or near archades and use the teleport crystal to level up at different places and buy better armor.

If not, the only option is to go to the lower floors and level up by fighting the imperial guards. They should also drop hi-potions and some other items, especially if you build a chain.

Level 30 is quite low for Doctor Cid. It's optimal to be at least level 38.

According to the guide, Doctor Cid is level 40, and his rooks are level 38, so you're well under-leveled.
