Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Final Fantasy IV

Template:Sideicon The party can visit the cave as soon as they acquire the Lunar Whale and fly to the Red Moon. At three points the path is blocked by a Behemoth in an inescapable set encounter. Once Bahamut is beaten at the end of the dungeon, Rydia can summon him in battle.

The After Years

Template:Sideicon After Fusoya and Golbez investigate the Impact Crater and fight the Mysterious Girl and Asura, Fusoya grows concerned for Bahamut's fate with the girl's power to control Eidolons. The two enter the Lair of the Father to check on him, and find him petrified. Instead of Behemoths, Count Malboro block the path at points.

Spoilers end here.
