Level One Ozma challenge!

[Croyles]

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?

[Necronopticous]

Honestly, it's been too long for me to remember such a small detail. I remember having the same trouble that you had due to missing the reflect ring in Treno the first time around, but I can't really remember when I actually did get it, and where else it was necessary. I don't seem to have written anything else about it in my thread, but I probably left a lot of things out. I would say to definitely synth it if there is a way, but if there is no way then there is nothing that you can do about that. Have you looked at all of the possibilities of getting an Anklet? Can you synth one? Can you steal one?

[Croyles]

Nah theres no way to synth one yet. First time I get a Anklet is in the desert place, or synth it in Alexandria or Lindblum on Disc3. I guess im just gonna have to try and get past. If you did it, it must be possible

Thanks for the help though. I think im just getting paranoid cause i dont wanna go back to earlier saves and do everything again

[Croyles]

Sorry for all the double posts, but since this is about updating, I dont see why I shouldnt be allowed to.

I JUST managed to get zombie status on Zidane. The zombie dragon kept targeting Vahjaja (thats my Garnet ) instead of Zidane and I was getting inpatient, then the one time Zidane gets inflicted with zombie he uses auto-potion because I forgot to take it off, GRRRRR. I wondered why Garnet kept getting targeted and the only thing I could come up with was character positions, so I put zidane on slot two and BINGO! it was even the first attack the dragon did after I cast shell on zidane.

I was so worried that zidane was gonna die on the way back to the save point, but i managed to get there with just one battle thankfully.

I dont know if I wanna carry on playing right now because im really dreading getting down the lifa tree + the 2 forced battles



EDIT: Im probably boring everyone to death with this, well everyone meaning like 2 people lol, but I just finished the first part of Lifa Tree! Getting to the 2 forced battles proved really difficult for me, as zombies kept killing me and dragons kept zombifying everyone else (couldnt steal any more magic tap to cure it). But after I actually got to the battles, I managed it in one turn!!!!! I think luck was on my side. The zombies killed all the right people and against the dragon everybody except zidane died cause i actually messed up, but then i just used an elixir

Now to fight Ginger Pubes.

Not really. I totally love these kind of threads. So keep it up!

[Necronopticous]

These are the most worthwhile threads on this message board, really. The reason they don't get the attention that they deserve is that few regulars actually play Final Fantasy. Don't let it discourage you.

Also, as this thread is like a journal of your progress on this challenge, it is perfectly fine to post successively when you update.

You're doing very well. You'll be clutching your Strategy Guide key item between your dainty level-one fingers in no time. Keep it up!

[Rantz]

I'll have you know that my not posting doesn't mean I am not reading! You're doing well so far, keep it up! And definitely post your progress and more if you can. I'm learning lots.

[Croyles]

Im on Disc 3 just doing the card tournament, ive always hated this part just because I dont like the card game (even though I really like FF8's card game).

The Lifa Tree was a lot easier than I thought. So far the biggest challenge ive had is the escape from the mages and bandersnatchers in Alexandria, but im guessing there will be something tougher coming up?

[Necronopticous]

I think the worst is behind you. The Desert Palace and Esto Gaza might give you some trouble, but after what you've already been through by then it's hard to feel discouraged. Those areas are the last real hurdles in the challenge, anyway. After that it's just a matter of grinding through a series of tedious preparations and slapping Ozma around.

Also, Iifa. Common mistake. ;]

[Shotgunnova]

A lot of people I've talked to said the bandersnatch stairway battles are probably the most annoying in the challenge, so it's mostly uphill from there. Don't cause Ozma too much pain now, haha...

EDIT: Im probably boring everyone to death with this, well everyone meaning like 2 people I cried aloud with mirth and merriment, but I just finished the first part of Lifa Tree!

I'm keeping up with your progress, too! There's nothing I can add to help you, though.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I can tell you that it's Iifa, not Lifa. That's about it, though. :salamander:

[Croyles]

Oh yeah, I actually got corrected about that loooooong ago, seems like I forgot again, been so long since I played lol.

Once I remember thinking it was called Tifa Tree lol.

[Marshall Banana]

Guess who else is doing this now. =D

[seiferalmasy2]

I can tell you that it's Iifa, not Lifa. That's about it, though. :salamander:

I got corrected within a few weeks of having the game.... my cousin noticed the font for i was the same elsewhere and then it all made sense....

Iifa Tree - The Final Fantasy Wiki has more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research
