Lionel Castle



Lionel Castle is a location from Final Fantasy Tactics. Located in Southern Ivalice, it is the stronghold of Cardinal Delacroix of the corrupt Church of Glabados. It is also the site of Saint Ajora Glabados' capture and of Ramza Beoulve's battle with Cúchulainn.

Ramza vs. Delacroix
Ramza Beoulve arrives at Lionel Castle with Princess Ovelia, Agrias Oaks, and Mustadio Bunansa to seek his assistance. Delacroix pretends to offer aid and agrees to shelter Ovelia, while Ramza and Mustadio go to the Clockwork City of Goug to search for Mustadio's father. They are unaware that Delacroix is really the Cúchulainn, the Impure of the Lucavi demons. He has Ovelia captured, but Agrias escapes. Meanwhile, Delacroix's hired mercenary Ludovich Baert acquires a fake of the Taurus Stone, incurring Delacroix's anger. After assigning Goffard Gaffgarion to get rid of Ramza, Delacroix kills Baert.

Ramza attempts to rescue Ovelia from Lionel Castle, unaware that she has already been taken away by Delita Heiral. At the gate, he is attacked by Gaffgarion but defeats and kills him. He makes his way inside to confront the Cardinal, who transforms into Cúchulainn and attacks Ramza. Ramza wins the ensuing battle, killing the demon and landing Ramza an accusation of heresy by the Church of Glabados.

First Battle
This is the first multi-battle zone, so be sure to save a separate file. Ramza will start the battle on the other side of a gate from the rest of the party, who will be forced to take on the Knights and Summoner whilst Ramza fights with Gaffgarion. The best strategy is to put two stronger characters and two Black chocobos in the second group. Two human characters should ride chocobos on their first turn and use them to fly to help Ramza on the second turn. When the turn order gets to Ramza, units should stop riding the chocobos. When you defeat Gaffgarion, recover all units, open the gate and have more fair battle of 5 versus 6.

Second Battle
This mission occurs immediately after the battle at Zeirchele Falls with Ovelia and Delita. It is the first battle with a Lucavi, and the player will receive the Scorpio Stone after Cúchulainn's defeat. Cúchulainn has several attacks that can inflict various status ailments, so make sure to hit him hard and fast.
