BNW: first time run Playthrough

Part 20 - Farewell WoB, extreme air battle!




1) Done last stuff before leaving WoB;
2) AIF assault with Celes: fail against Chupon;
3) AIF assault with Terra: win;
4) AiF boss was a bit weak...
5) On the floating continent... those guys are quite strong!

Ultros was more or less like in the previous battle, but this time you were more prepared... Chupon is not really much strong, but Ultros will aid him in the battle... Some clever setting of shell and protect are adviced, according to each character.


Part 21 - a floating arena of mini bosses...




1) Shadow's float is the key of victory;
2) Rule #1: don't mess with 2x ninja formation;
3) Dragons are strong
4) 2x Behemoth is basically a death formation;
5) Forgot like an idiot to fight Colossus...
6) Returned to WoB for buying some stuff;
7) Colossus... weak.


Part 22 - When the going gets tough, the Tenkarider gets going




1) Lost once against AtmaWeapon;
2) Ultimate Locke: AtmaWeapon dies at the second try(AVG level: 18, Terra was lv 17...)
3) Escaping from floating continent;
4) Leo's shock will make my escape a piece 'o cake
5) Rare steal: stole Magic Bone!
6) that red jester won't make me steal...
7) Escaped with Shadow, the world ends.

(The victory battle starts more or less at half the video)
And so i fought the infamous Atma Weapon, after losing the first time i made up a particular build that revolved around Locke:
Buffed his vigor at the highest value possible, setted float on Atma(reflected it)
Equiped him with Ninja mask to counter attack and finally casted Berserk to him, when i was ready to start the battle...
Result? 1400 damage each time the weapon was thrown, one time he attacked me, then i double-countered and right after attacked... about 5200 damage combo.
Shadow used AoE float when necessary, and thrown as there wasn't a tomorrow;
Terra kept to heal and Sabin Aided with Aurabolt and Golem.
Then he increased his level: locke could still make 1800-2000 max damage each turn, Sabin moved to support role, Terra kept to fight for staying alive
and Shadow used all the 2 Ninja stars: well, i believe that was the right moment.

PS. was it possible to steal to the red Ultima spammer guy?

____________________________________

Oh, right... Happy new year!

Part 23 - Entering in WoR and meet some ally




1) saved Cid;
2) Alone i'm powerless... need of Sabin;
3) Talking and buying stuff;
4) Recruited Sabin
5) Where are hidden Chocobo stables?
6) Visited Terra;
7) Serpent trench by feet sucks.

The first encounter with Phumbaba is a piece o' cake if you listen childrens of Mobliz and cast Runic on him...


part 24 - Dealing with tentacles and custom stuff




1) Sailed to South Figaro;
2) Collected upgraded loots around the town;
3) Leo's Spirits? Custom stuff!
4) Sandworm will just sneeze me, for now...
5) Did the same of 2) with Figaro cave;
6) Robots in the castle are a piece o' shit;
7) Fought tentacles and got stuff;
8) Custom Boost to Crossbow!

Tentacles weren't too much dangerous, it was more a matter of dealing with elements.
Luckily i explore everywhere and didn't missed those 2 custom stuff(even because i already know the purpose of Leo's Sprits) i hope i won't miss something on the road...
PS. i've been tricked from Kusarigama... i thought it was next tier of Rising Sun...


part 25 - Gambling with Colisseum and Setzer




1) Found Cactuar, still not able to defeat Sandworm in time;
2) Went to Colisseum;
3) Gum Pod has a meaning!
4) Junk -> Scrap for good cash;
5) Unique first tier weapon -> High tier stuff!
6) Atma Weapon -> Omega Weapon?
7) Easter Egg?
8) Recruited Setzer;

Honestly i don't even know if i'll ever be able to do decent damage with Atma... and there's also the Omega? I know there's Valiant Knife, so what's Atma Weapon? Is it a no effect version of the actual Atma Weapon?

Part 26 - Falcon time!




1) Bought Flash
2) Flash is really something;
3) Longest battle against Marlboro and Flowers of the history; (also died once)
4) Daryl soul is neat;
5) Second Shell;
6) Dullahan is stronger than expected
7) Got Falcon!

While there's nothing to tell about the yellow shell, Dullahan was nasty, especially because there was need of healing, but Celes couldn't abandon her runic stance for too much time... Especially due to Gigavolt and Absolute 0.


Part 27 - Veldt Cave: Epic fail chain




1) Kamikaze against Doom Gaze;
2) Bum rush; (Kill Bill reference)
3) Phumbaba won't make me recruit Terra...
4) Then i go to Veldt Cave;
5) The Undead skeleton in the box must be blocked with Runic, not with Kusarigama...
6) Tiamat is a meteor spammer bastard
7) Failed twice... in the next part i'll get my revenge

On a side note... did i ever told how much i hate Blow Fish, especially when all your allies have all less than 1000 HP?


Part 28 - Got Shadow and Cyan




1) Justice has been done;
2) Thamasa: new stuff and got Leo's Crest!
3) Got Shadow;
4) Zone eater won't engulf me...
5) So i'll go to recruit Cyan;
6) Kamikaze on Purple D. ;
7) Sticky white stuff among the books XD
8) Bought Defibrillator;

For overcome the rage of Tiamath, i had to abandon the healing role of Celes and so barrage him with Ice 2. Sabin helped with dps too, for fill the gap of Celes, both Setzer and Edgar had to heal the party.
About Leo's Crest, that happened only because i found Leo's Spirits almost for accident, it would have been a shame to miss that.
Zone Eater keeps to fight, almost for sure he wants to fight until i deal enough damage to him, but looks like it's better to wait some time.
And finally i got Defibrillator, i really need of a free life... but that's actually even better because it heals more than the spell.

Part 29 - Starlight screws everything!




1) Enter in Owzer's house;
2) 5 x monster with AoE attacks is deadly;
3) Ladies are a rod farm;
4) Still life is not anymore...
5) Stopped before the boss

Really: i hate Starlight, now that i remember, when i die against random
monsters, some of them used it...
Nothing to say about Still life.


Part 30 - Got Relm, Strago and Gau




1) Chadarnook battle: lost once;
2) Lakshmi saves the day each time she spawns;
2) Won and got Relm + the esper;
3) Recruited Strago;
4) Doom Gaze attempts my life, but fails;
5) Recruited Gau;

Flash Rain + Phantasm were nasty to handle, but due to Lakshmi swapping with Chadarnook, he wasn't able to complete the assault to allies still alive.
Later Doom Gaze ambushes me when i'm most vulnerable(Celes + Relm and Strago... the last 2 were under leveled) but i survived somehow...


Part 31 - Scouting Narshe and get Mog + Terra




1) Enter to Narshe;
2) Stole rare Black Heart!
3) stole 4x on the road;
4) Recruited Mog;
5) Collected Upgraded stuff
6) Phumbaba's turn;
7) Failed twice, then i won.

Due to receiving 4x Black Heart i build up a formation to stand against Phumbaba's Blowfish, which is not too much bad, after all... besides healing is not completely denied.
Due to Terra being underleveled i have some trouble to handle the second battle, but alternating Runic stance with a barrage of fire attacks i solve the problem.

Part 32 - Cave of lores?




1) Going to take Locke;
2) Strago learned more than 50% of total lores here;
3) Dodged Red dragon and took Czarina Gown;
4) Got Locke;


Part 33 - Umaro's Cave Story




1) Left Edgar behind and used Mog to get Umaro immediately;
2) Chosen Apocalypse;
3) Got the cursed shield, but left unused;
4) With underleveled Mog i must avoid Silver-D for now;
5) Defeated Tritoch;
6) Rare Tomberry;
7) Hyper Pug;
8) Berserker Umaro???

I cannot be really sure about the actual strength of those bosses, due to having Mog, which was an unwanted choice...
I'm sorry for Celes, but my heart belongs to Terra.
Anyway all those bosses were weak to fire, so Terra destroyed them.
On a side note Umaro attacked as there were no tomorrow and beat me 3-4 times, before i could guess the best set for the battle.
PS. i didn't knew Cursed Shield's curse was nerfed, so i'll regret of not using it immediately...


Part 34 - Doom Gaze and Silver Dragon




1) Compared to the others, Umaro does insane free damage!
2) I'll use him for some boss; (the ones neutralized from Snow Muffler)
3) Smashed Silver Dragon;
4) Doom Gaze ambushed me, this time at his own risk.

The point of Silver Dragon was freezing and hindering action, Step mine was a cheap istant kill anyway...

Part 35 - D-Hunt: Purple and Red are gone




1) Purple: dead;
2) Doom Gaze: dead;
3) Red: dead.

The 3 bosses were more or less the same difficulty: the main difference was that in the first 2 battles i used Umaro, because Snow Muffler nullified wind, against Red i used Shadow, since Water Scroll is deadly on him.


Part 36 - Earthbound foes




1) Brown won't die;
2) Slain worms meanwhile;
3) Got Gogo;
4) Gau cutscene for fun.

That guy casts Meteor, better to do the other sidequests before...
For some reason i decided to not use Gogo, it must have been the no esper boost flaw...


Part 37 - Raiding the ancient castle




1) Master Pug dies as the one in Narshe;
2) Valiant edge form the samurai in the chest;
3) Lazy shell as rare steal;
4) Got Odin;
5) Slain the dragon.

Not much to tell about monsters in the chests, actually not much to tell about the dragon too, except that for some reason he receives even more damage than usual from the scroll that hits his weakness.
PS. i dunno if the Ripler bug is fixed or not, but it's better to not discover that in the worst way...

Part 38 - Chasing Hidon




1) A looooooooong boring dungeon;
2) The chest won't make me pass...
3) Fighting Hidon
4) Learnt 2 lores

Hidon was an AoE spammer, which forced me to keep casting AoE healing spells, minions made last the battle even more, especially because Sabin couldn't easily aim with blitz, the fact that Relm and Stago were a bit weak with HP didn't help very much... besides i had to be 100% sure that Strago would have survived the battle(in order to get lore spells)


Part 39 - Dealing with dreams




1) The trio was the best show ever XD
2) who's that kappa?
3) Wrexsoul speaks as Dracula from Castlevania SOTN...
4) Shadow's nightmare.

I'm missing the reference of the kappa... is him someone in particular?
Wrex was a pain in the ass and disappeared in really few time, so i had to be aggressive with Terra, at least he had few HP... on a side note it wasn't really nice that the 2 minions knew Meteo...


Part 40 - Trolled from fanatics




1) Got Omega Weapon;
2) Epic fail: you can use all commands in the tower...
3) Changed everything -> foe's spells are deadly!
4) Equiped Reflect Ring and called it a day.
5) White Dragon deals both Light/Poison heavy damage?
6) 4 x Black Heart and he's story...

Looks like Black Heart was designed right for this battle... guess what? Starlight is not elemental!

Part 41 - That Magi wasn't really much master...




1) Got Crusader;
2) LV 90 was strong;
3) I can't really say the same for MagiMaster...
4) With Gem Box, Terra rules even more!

Yeah, Magi boss wasn't really much threatening: basically a buffed version of number 024... the point was just to hit him with elements... that's all.


Part 42 - Time to say goodbye to WoR




1) Won against Brown-D
2) Done more or less what i wanted to do.
3) Paying a visit to Kefka!

For some reason the dragon never used Meteor this time... oh well.
I wanted to collect some stuff from Collosseum, like Mirage Vest, which looked quite useful, but at the end i kept Czarina Gown for Relm...


Part 43 - Kefka tower assault: part 1




1) The usual stuff, you know...
2) Atma Weapon was quite weak... (it wasn't even the main group)
3) Guardian went in Undefined Behavior;
4) Defeated Gold dragon

Actually not really much to say... we are almost done: the next trio of segments will be the last, just enjoy the last boss battles!

Well, they were in my channel for more than a month, but only now i managed to put the commentary on the 3 last segments... here we go!

FF6 BNW: first time run part 44 - Kefka tower assault: part 2




1) Assassin IS an assassin(surely it is on my weakest group)
2) Lost THAT chest! how could i?
3) Same for Green-D...
4) Black Heart + Refract saves the day...
5) Ragnarok rocks!

Good damage dealers, 3 bosses in 1 and the weakest party... the worst combination. After (i don't remember) many tries, i manage to win. Umaro was the man, with Blizzard orb, but everyone was necessary: Cyan was too much underleveled, but the only one able to use life and deal Seizure(also Aero from Strago could, but he was busy casting Black Omen), Relm was the leader... good in everything, except reviving... and Strago the supporter.

With Green-D ends up better, but i need to block poison damage and keeping on Refract for Image status.


FF6 BNW: first time run part 45 - Dealing with gods




1) Main team rocks!
2) Second team not sucks, but the goddess kicks hard;
3) 666! -> 9999 damage -> goddess is story;
4) Third team sucks.

Kaiser was a powerful AoE spammer, but the main team is great too: Locke as super attacker, Edgar as supporter, Terra as deadly Mage and Shadow both strong and, with my surprise, reveals also a good stamina healer...
Similar with Asura, but easier: North star was nasty, except that and a sudden super-cheap Meteo(which could one shot the party) the boss is just story...
The goddess is a troublemaker, being a side attack it denies 4xAoE heals and Turmoil binds Sabin to the ground... But Starlight is surely the most hated move. When Quasar cycle starts, the battle becomes almost unbearable... for Sabin at least.
Mog can be helpful only staying hidden in the sky, Sabin Bumrushes when is alive, Celes is forced to heal and revive... when she has a moment, then she can also dare a revive or even Holy... Setzer is the key of the battle: 2xfixed dice is the thing. Sometimes he can also use revive...
What makes Celes and Setzer stay alive is Minerva and Thunder Shield for Setzer, also they have to stay on the same side.
The finishing blow is a 666 dice result... priceless.
Myria(? wasn't better goddes as Myria?) is somehow the right boss for team 3: while they still suck, he casts reflectable spells and relies on Tyrfing, which makes perma-reflect and lores the key of the battle. Refract is the ideal for letting Umaro attack without risking death, the same for Relm which has need of chaining flare with Punisher, since the whole battle costs too much MP for her.
Regen X of Relm is a must, since ignores reflect, heals and replace seizure status...
When he starts to use Aero, a good magic defence and Diamond?(or maybe crystal?) gears are great for halve the damage.


FF6 BNW: first time run final showdown - Tenkarider VS Kefka




1) Turtling is stupid against the first 2 final battles;
2) Healing becomes a cycle against last 2 final battles;
3) Avenger reveals suddenly useful, at the very end...
4) Rest is the usual bastard... lost 3 members before Kefka;
5) Celes, Sabin and Setzer joins against Kefka... maybe a good fact?
6) 2x Goner???
7) Terra and Celes are forced to give up casting on Kefka for support;
8) Sabin and Setzer will do that instead;
9) Healing MP items are finished?!?
10) The same for Terra MP!
11) Sabin is the last battery and Setzer saves the day with 444 -> 9999
12) Happy ending!

The first 2 battles are nasty if you care too much of staying high with HP, it's better to rush and then healing, In the third battle it's the exact opposite... Kefka is a real bastard: Goner is destructive and fallen one doesn't help really much to stay alive, attack are strong enough to smash Sabin and spells quite strong(except on Celes, with Minerva)
At a certain point a second Goner is chained(could that be a counter to Ultima?) to the first one, which makes shit myself... saved only thanks to revive on Terra... after that point i'm forced to heal with Terra(too much fear of repeating a one hour-long battle)
Celes Heals and Runic, so that she's also able to gain MP; The others are free to attack, until Goner knock them down... and so on.
When the going gets tough i also finish MP and items that restores them, then i remember that Sabin knows Chakra... and at the end Setzer get the Jackpot! 444 -> 9999 damage and Kefka is dead.

That's all, folks!

My next run will be on a very particular hack... stay tuned!
