Thread: Mt Ordeals: Rise of the Paladin

    Default Mt Ordeals: Rise of the Paladin

    Hey, i was wondering if any of you trained up Paladin Cecil when he first changed into him at level 1. I just finished training him up to level 20, cause Mt Ordeals is kinda nifty to train in.

    Did you lot do it, and what his level and the other party members?

    Cecil (Lariat): 20
    Porom: 22
    Palom: 19
    Tellah: 27

    This are my respective levels, now gimme yours!

    Dear god, I get the hell out of there as soon as possible. I don't start any forced level grinding until I head into the Power Cave, at which point I try and have Yang, Cid, and Cecil above the 1000 HP cap.

    I would always level grind Cecil after he changes. I wouldn't leave Mt ordeals till he's at least Level 15 -20

    I must be really (un)lucky. By the time I leave that accursed place, Cecil is around the 18-20 mark. And I don't linger, I hate that place with a passion.

    I stay if I don't have enough money to buy all of Cecil's new equipment at Mysidia. Otherwise I just head out.

    Of course, I always enjoy using a couple of Tella's Fire3's to obliterate the enemies on the way down...

    yeah i just left and went on my merry way.
    My past, a haunting aura of what to come.

    My past, the betrayals hanging overhead.

    My past, a hand stained with the dried blood of my victims.

    My past, a grim checkpoint to my future and my Destiny.

    Yeah, roll out fast. It's been a while since I've played it but I want to say Cecil is usually level 10ish when I get back to Mysidia. (I walk.)

    Exactly what I'm saying. If you follow strict procedure and level up Dark knight, Porom and Parom to like:

    Porom: Level-18
    Palom: Level- 18
    D.K: Level- 24

    Then everything is rosy, and you have enough MP to cover allowance for shoes and clothes! (Poor joke and example...)

    Just do the same thing for when you train up Cecil straight after, because it's actually a really good and easy place to train.

    It's not that it's hard- I just dislike the high encounter rate and burning MP to kill an army of zombies.

    Either way, I think it's easier to level in the underground waterway. xP More exp for less effort.

    Exact level at this moment escapes me when I beat the Dark Elf. I just remember grinding on the Ogres in the cave since Yang did an excellent job of one-upping them with the Fairy Claws. Just get Cid, Yang, and Cecil over 1000 HP and you'll be fine. Once the field's lifted and you can use your actual equipment too, grind a bit while you're in there. The Tower of Zot's a pain.

    I was normally level 22-23 apart from Tellah who was level 25. I just rushed through that cave and then beat everything up on the way out.

    Hey Jowy, do you remember what weapon you used for Cecil. Cause i don't know where i can find a non-metallic weapon?
