You get to Tiamat by going to the Mirage Tower in the large desert up north.

Why is it inconvenient to go to tiamat first? Because Kraken and (SPOILER) the Slab are on two different path from the surface. So it's not like you have to back track thru the same place to get to Kraken.
Yeah. Why would you go into the water dungeon, get the slab and say, "Well. Let's not kill the fiend of water, but, instead, go off and figure out how to kill Tiamat. Then we can come back HERE before we can beat the game.
Nah. Take 10 minutes instead of an extra 45, it never hurts.
Yah, but all the good stuff is on the way to Tiamat.
Well... If ou feel the need to come back to Kraken with the Thors Hammer, Excalibur, Sun Sword, and Katana, then fine. I guess you could just open a can of whoop-ass on all the water monsters. But the por chaotic killers... They won't stand a chance. It doesn't sound like a Light warriorish thing to do. Cheat and come back with ultraweapon death upon the pathetic ghosts of the deep.
where's this extra 35 minutes coming from? you go down like 4 -5 lvls to get the slab, and come back up. I mean you usually go for the slab first anyway, because it makes no sense to get the Opal stuff, AFTER you fight Kraken. Now you have the choice to go to the other stairwell to get to Kraken or you can go after Tiamat. You have to do all the same events anyway. I mean I guess the walk back to the surface from lvl 1, and then coming back to that spot will take an extra 3 minutes, but definitely not 35.Originally Posted by Martyr
and about stocking up on better items, like excalibur, thor, etc. well hell yeah! what's not to like about completely annihilating the last fiend you have to fight. hell, I'd wait till I had the Masamune if i could. Besides, I don't even kill Kary till I beat both Kraken and Tiamat. I even get class change before I even get the airship.

Kinda takes the fun uot of a would-be challenging game, doesn't it?
you can't get class change before you get airship, but you can get all the goodies from castle of ordeals before you get airship, zeus gauntlet, heal staff, ice sword, etc.
And that Zeus gauntlet is invaluable too.
Edit:
Hmm... Does anybody know why that dude in the castle or ordeals will only let the people posessing the crown pass? It isn't like it's hard to obtain. You already have the crown by that time, and you can't get there without a crown.
I mean, what's the deal? Why even have that dude there?

sorry thats what i meant, i go to the castle of ordeals and get everything including the rat tail, before the airship.
well, i find a game to be more fun when it's not completely linear. besides, even the original manual cuts out after the airship... which is the last linear part of the game... except for the final place, i guess
