At the gate the party is ambushed by Celia, Lettie, and four Reavers. This battle is easy if Ramza's party is equipped with clothes which are anti-Stop/KO/Charm, or if they're female so the assassins can't charm them. Ramza and Luso can learn Ultima from Celia and Lettie during this battle.

Ramza has to square off against his old "friend", Argath, this time, as an undead. Deploying someone who can inflict Disable status (e.g. Mustadio, Balthier, Beowulf, or a Mystic) is particularly important for this battle. After the battle, Argath cries out for his mother.

Finally, Ramza's party proceeds down to the basement for the last battle in this castle and the last encounter with Elmdore—this time in Lucavi form. Equipping Protect Rings beforehand will help guard against some of the status attacks he uses on the party. Meliadoul will also help them out here after knowing the truth about her brother's death. After the battle, Meliadoul joins Ramza's party.

Dummied content[]
Gate of Limberry Castle.
A dummied out battlefield for the gate of Limberry Castle exists within the game data, even if no battle takes place on it during the actual game. If the player accesses this map with a cheating device, it appears fully playable without glitches. However, the barred gate in the front is impassible, lending credence that it may have been intended for a cutscene as there is no way for characters to get past the wall normally, unless the player equips Ignore Elevation or uses Chocobos to scale it.
