FFV "challenge" thread

[Shin Gouken]

Defeated the very easy Clay claw. Adamantaim put up a fight but i finished him in one go. I couldn't kill him quickly with level 5 doom because i can't learn it.

The cannons outside the ronka ruins werent too much trouble. My coral ring meant the flame cannons couldn't hurt me, and the missile cannons only take half of your current HP so they werent really a threat.

Sol cannon however took me three tries. From the first try i learned i'd never beat him without haste. But hadn't learned any time magic so just equiped a time mage. Mainly i just broke Bolt rods (about 6 until i ran out) but he puts up a defense thing so they werent really doing alot of damage. His beam cannon got me about 5 times during the battle, and it takes half of your maximum HP. So i switched my lightening rod to the healing staff a lot to heal. (theres no upgrade to tonics yet, and i didnt want to waste the elixers ive found in chests)
I also cast regan on mayself but it gave me back ONE HP every turn

Anyway he eventually went down. Now im ready for the ronka ruins and the almighty Archeoavis i'm looking forward to fighting him

Update: Yay i beat him he was tough, took me a second try to beat him. But i lose galuf now and he is still on his base level at level 1. He will fight gilgamesh one on one shortly so i couldn't save after beating archeoavis. I need to take galuf back to the earliest stage in the game and start leveling him up
