Xezat's Fleet, also known as the Zeza's Fleet, is a location in Final Fantasy V. It is a fleet led by Xezat Matias Surgate to attack Castle Exdeath. Although the fleet is great in number, only the flagship can be explored.
History[]
Xezat launched the fleet after realizing that Castle Exdeath was fortified well on the Big Bridge side, but relatively unprotected on the east side.[1]
Bartz Klauser, Galuf Halm Baldesion, Lenna Charlotte Tycoon, and Faris Scherwiz descended to the fleet's flagship after an earthquake triggered by Exdeath caused Ghido's Cave to be swallowed by the seas, and seeing Xezat was not at Surgate Castle. After a brief discussion with Xezat, the fleet engaged with Exdeath's forces, the flagship being attacked directly by Gilgamesh's squadron.
After defeating Gilgamesh, the party discovered from Xezat that the fleet is only a distraction, and that his main goal was to use a submarine stored in the ship to head to the Barrier Tower with the goal of destroying it.
Gameplay[]
- Gobbledygook
- Enkidu (boss)
- Gilgamesh (boss)
Xezat's Fleet can be reached with the wind drake any time after Ghido's Cave sinks, though it is best to first visit Surgate Castle to obtain items. In Xezat's Fleet, talking to Xezat will begin a quest, wherein there is a short battle against some enemies followed by a boss battle with Gilgamesh. It is best to have the Steal command equipped to steal some of Gilgamesh's Genji armor. Once the boss battle concludes, the player must meet with Surgate below deck to begin the next quest in Barrier Tower.
