Okay, well after I made my way through the Estersand (killing many Wolves & Cocatrices along the way) I finally made it back to Rabanastre. I was shocked to learn that Ba'Gammnan and his thugs kidnapped Penelo, she's so nice! Anyways, time to head for the Aerodrome, but not before hunting some marks for extra Gil! Time to take on Thextera. Thankfully, I was at a high level and Thextera had pretty low HP, so it went down easy.
I'm so thankful for the Moogling! Without it I would probably never make it to the Aerodrome. I was excited to make it out of Rabanastre. The place was getting too boring for me.
Bhujerba is so beautiful. The Marquis's estate with the Magicite wings was so pretty. The city is really different than Rabanastre. Alot smaller, but just as confusing. I was stuck wandering a while before I finally found my way to the Lhusu Square! The Lhusu Mines looked really daunting, and I was scared to go in. After Barheim I was a bit scared to enter the dungeon-like places, but 'Lamont' was just so smart. I knew he'd be a big help when fighting. The Steelings were easy to beat, it was the Skeleton creatures that had me nervous. They were pretty tough when I first got there, but by now I could take 'em on no problem. I almost got lost like I did in Rabanastre, but the map I found came in handy. I was doing well until I made it to one of the open-aired bridges. It was none stop Skeletons and Steelings, I got a Game Over...But the next time I went through there, I didn't die. I finally made it to the end of the Lhusu Mines, and watched the long cutscenes. Then, I started to fight Ba'Gammnan, but my strategy guide said to run. I was happy I did.
Then we had to do the whole 'I'm Captain Basch' thing. At first I was mad because no one would notice me, but finally I got them to pay attention. Then we met the Resistance balh blah blah, I met Ashe we left Bhujerba, you know the story. Anyways, we were off to the Sandseas.
'Whoa...This place is weird' is all I could think when I saw the Ogir-Yensa Sandsea opening. I'm still a bit fuzzy on whether the sea is made of actual sand or some sand-like liquid. There sure were alot of Alraunes and Urutan-Yensas. I gained so much EXP and LP in the Sandseas. After a while, I got sick of fighting thousands of Alraunes and passing the same boring oil towers, and it was very refreshing to finally make it to the Nam-Yensa Sandseas.
Now this place was really interesting. At first I was like, "Oh this is just gonna be fight through tons of enemies until you get to Raithwall's Tomb" but whne my strat. guide said to go north (away form where I was supposed to go), I was very intrigued. When the Moogle said to head back to fight the Urutan Eater, I was mad because I had to fight the same enemies all over again. The Urutan Eater was so easy. But he gave away a generous amount of LP.
I swear, the Urutan Yensas are the ugliest creatures in Ivalice. I always thought they were evolved from cats, not crustaceans (crabs, for those who don't know). I mean, when the Urutan Queen was talking, I was just in awe at how hideous she was. Anyways, I was glad that I received the Eksir Berries and so I made my way all the way to Raithwall's Tomb.
When I first saw the tomb, I was so amazed. It's amazing what wonderful things SE can make using little squares. Suddenly, the Garuda comes out! I used the Eksir Berries and then immediately used all of my characters' Quickenings (everyone except Vaan who didn't have one at that point). The Garuda went down just as easily a Thextera. So, I bought some goodies from Dyce and headed on into the Tomb of Raithwall!
I was in the Royal Passage and was ambushed by the first Demon Wall. I was so scared that it would crush me, but I escampered! Then there was the second Demon Wall to deal with...
It was actually easier than I thought. Since there was a time limit, I took off all healing Gambits and made sure everyone was attacking. The only real problems I had were the stupid status ailments, and that blasted Telega attack (It took out my Balthier). I then had to rely on my Quickenings. Finally, I took out the Demon Wall!
*Fast Forward to when all of the Way Stones are activated and I made my way to the Chamber of Flame*
Now, it's time to take on the great Gigas himself, Belias...This fight was much harder than I had anticipated. I relied entirely on Quickenings and Water spells with Vossler and Vaan non-stop attacking. Finally, Belias was killed!
Well, Ashe finally got the Dawn Shard. And we also encountered Rasler's ghost for the first time. I eagerly await to see when he makes another (significant) appearance.Then, when I left the tomb-Dun Dun Dun!-The whole Arcadian fleet dropped by to capture us. We were then inside of the Dreadnought Leviathan.
Well, this part was harder than I thought. Those little sensor beams were really annoying at first, but then I, purposely, activated them so that I could fight more Imperials and gain some EXP and LP. I was then able to licens a good amount of Licenses.
Whoa! Fran is a beast! I had no idea that when the Mist was so crazy, she'd go bananas as well! I had to giggle during that cutscene! But the next fight was NO laughing matter...
The fight against Vossler was definitely the hardest yet. He was SO fast and used SO many combos! I had to use all of my character's Quickenings to beat this sucka! And Luckily Vaan had one in this fight and we chained enough times to cause a few Inferno attacks.
So then I was finally back in good ole' Rabanastre. I took this time to do the Wraith and Flowering Cactoid Mob Hunts, go exploring, buy items, fight and help out the people in the villages on the Nebra.
So now, it's time to head for the Giza Plains...during the rainy season!
