    Default Defeat the Dark Elf For Earth Crystal

    Does anyone else hate the Magnetic Cave that leads to the dark elf to get the Earth crystal?

    I levelgrind on Ogres because they die in one shot from the Fairy Claw. It's an ingenious dungeon, and I actually don't mind it.

    I don't really have any trouble with it so, no, I don't hate it. I can see why it would be frustrating though.

    I run away from every battle until the Magnetic Field is destroyed.

    I do find it kind of annoying.

    Ihate it too, on my first try all my characters were paylized except Cid, so I just ran away from every battle. Now I removed all their metal eqipment, so it's not as bad, I still run away from all the Ogres. I'm fighting Dark Elf again and i can't seem to beat him when he transforms into the dragon, I've gotten soft.

    Well they give you a chance to re-equip your stuff after Edward saves you. If you go to the Mythril town and buy all that stuff i'm sure you will pwnt the dragon. He is kinda easy...

    On my first two games of FFIV, I think I ran away from every battle in the dungeon with the Dark Elf, except for the boss fight. However, during my last two games, I fought every battle in the dungeon, and it wasn't too hard, although it was a bit tedious having your characters equipped with weaker armor, not to mention bows and arrows.

    The first time I played through the game I didn;t level up and died every time I tried to defeat the dark elf. The second time I played through, I leveled up like hell and went through it easily.

    Alchemistlord, I beat the Dark Elf for you >_<. He was always easy for me, though. (Im wierd like that. Riku the 4th time in Chain of Memories was always easy for me)

    Not counting when I first played and forgot the Twin Harp, I've never had any problems with any part of the dungeon or Dark Elf.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    I think the hardest part in the battle against Dark Elf is surviving his Tornado attacks since they drop a character's HP to single digits. I've heard there's a cheap way of defeating the Dark Elf by having Tellah cast Tornado against him and then attacking him, but I'm not sure if this works outside the US version of FF"2" SNES.

    Pretty sure it works on the North American GBA version too. The tornado trick is like the Vanish+Doom of FFIV. xD

    I don't hate it because in my no encounters/Lowest lvl possible game I don't fight random encounters anyway

    On a side note the Dark Imp was easy, but the Dragon was a challenge.
