"Why is the rum gone!!!!!!" Thats a great quote by the way. Said by one of my favorite Disney characters ever: Captain Jack Spearow. He comes in third place after Genie from Aladin and Sabastain for the Little Mermaid. Why am I, Cymbeline, telling you this? Because I just started replaying Kingdom Hearts II and that just happend to be the though in my head.
Titan's Final Trial[]
Thats right, this is the final time we have to be in this cursed area. One more run though and we're done for good. Develope what you can, then take any path you want through the trials. I went to the plants, to the Ochu, to the area with the groups of Flowering Cactuars. Then I took the only stone in the trials that had to be taken. It differs depeneding on where you go, so just look for a non glowing Cie'th Stone. Then get ready for an ultimate showdown.
Develope your team with the CP you go on your way to this area. Save your game for sure, especially if your looking for the whole 5* bonus thing, because the coming up fight is a tough one. Also changing your active Paradigm to Espionage and be ready for a brawl.
We've done it, we completed this final trial. Glad thats over with. Titan says some stuff but its not important. If your a 5* "perfect" player then you probably have to come back here later, but as for me I'm done with this place, lets finish up these last marks and do something else for a change. Alright first things first, give Fang your Genji Glove. That wonderful Accessory allows her to hit with no limit meaning its very possiable that she can do over 1,000,000 damage against a staggered enemy. Develope your team, including your side members who have a large ammount of CP in reserves, then teleport to the Steppe, close to the enterance to Mahabara. Grab a chocobo, and ride down to were you fought Geiseric. Around here there is a Cie'th Stone, and that will lead us to our next mark.
Head in the Clouds[]
The mark of the mission, with the name above, can be found areound the Western Benchland. Use your map, because it will be a far batter job than me for this. If you have trouble he's by the circle of Cie'th Stones. When you reach it you'll realize that its a Zirnitra, yeah guess what you have another like 3 to fight. I guess they got lazy near the end. Also seeing as how its just a repeat battle this time we can use the same Paradigms from last time too:
Paradigm | Vanille | Fang | Hope |
---|---|---|---|
Relentless Assault | Ravager | Commando | Ravager |
Attrition | Saboteur | Sentinel | Medic |
Premeditation | Saboteur | Sentinel | Synergist |
Matador | Saboteur | Sentinel | Ravager |
Mystic Tower | Ravager | Sentinel | Ravager |
Combat Clinic | Medic | Sentinel | Medic |
Even though thats over keep your deck the same, because the next mark is the exact same battle.
Freedom From Fear[]
This stone if found deep in Mahabara. Teleport there and jump across Atomos to the Twilight Caverns. If you use your map you may be able to see the stone, but if not it can be found by taking the path that isn't a drop off from the path at the fork. The stone is guraded by a Tyrant, which is no trouble at this stage in our adventure. The mark is found in the Pass of Paddra in the Yaschas Maffif. Warp to the city and make your way up to the mark.
Based on my scaning ahead there is at least one more Zirnitra mission left, oh goodie. Anyways back to the steppe we have another mission to do.
The Bigger They Are[]
The stone for this mission is found very close to the enterance to Mahabara. Grab the chocobo and jump down the cliff then activate the stone by all the wolf enemies. The mark is back where we found our first cactuar in the Adamant territory. Before entering this mission there is some set up required. First off change your team to Sazh, Fang and Vanille. Equip Sazh with his Rigles and give him an accessory that gives him Random:Instant Chain. Give Fang all the accessories you have that lessen the chance she gets hit by Pain, and Vanille should have all the accessories you have the lessen the chance she gets hit by Fog. You need only two paradigms for this battle:
Paradigm | Sazh | Fang | Vanille |
---|---|---|---|
Aggression | Commando | Commando | Ravager |
Solidarity | Commando | Sentinel | Medic |
With that set up jump up the cliff for some quick comic relief, then get ready for one of the hardest missions in the game.
With him gone, take a breather, then get ready for another hard fight. Well I guess my wish cam true, we're finally getting into the harder stuff.
Can't We All Just Get Along[]
This Cie'th Stone can be found in Oerba, on the Deserted School's roof. The fastest way there is to teleport to Oerba and then walk to the school to get to the stone. The mark is found all the way back on the Steppe, so teleport there and hop on a chocobo towards the Pasture where you found your first Ochu and your first large sheep. The second Neochu in the game resides here as well. Oh yeah! And before you go out to fight him, change your paradigms:
Paradigm | Vanille | Fang | Hope |
---|---|---|---|
Premeditation | Saboteur | Sentinel | Synergist |
Attrition | Saboteur | Sentinel | Medic |
Matador | Saboteur | Sentinel | Ravager |
Mystic Tower | Ravager | Sentinel | Ravager |
Combat Clinic | Medic | Sentinel | Medic |
Relentless Assault | Reavager | Commando | Ravager |
Now get ready for a brawl.
Whew, we're done with those things from now on, thank god for that. First things first make sure to EQUIP the Growth Egg you got. This doubles the CP you get from battles and will really help out with our next task in out adventure, but I'll cover that on the next page, so see you there.
