The Lands of Darkness
Written by MSG Commander
This area is essentially a world of its own. (It even comes with its own World Map.)
In the Lands of Darkness, you want to get to the mountain range way up in the northeast corner to reach the Cloisters of Darkness, where you'll face the Final Boss (but not the Final Final Boss - that doesn't come until after the credits roll.)
Check the Map frequently to make sure you're going in the right direction.
Note: The Cloisters of Darkness is an Angel's Wings location, but the Lands of Darkness is NOT. So, don't leave the Lands of Darkness until you've found the Cloisters of Darkness, or you'll have to go through the Tower of the Skies all over again.
The Cloisters of Darkness is the last area in the game before the credits, but there's a lot of bonus material afterwards, so it's sort of but not really the end of the game. The Boss in the Cloisters of Darkness is actually hard, not like any of the Bosses you've encountered up to this point.
Preparing for the Final Boss Battle
- Before you face the (sort of) Final Boss, you should try to get all of the following skills (they'll make the battle much easier):
- Dragonhead Slash
- Triple Shot
- Holy Lv3 (you can diffuse it to White Heaven, but you’ll probably want to intensify it back to Holy Lv3 for the Boss battles)
- Dragonrun
- Ricadira (or Ricadiran if you have enough Reinforcing Gems)
- Revi (but if you can get Reviver that's even better; in fact it may be worth fighting some random encounters to try to get a few more Reinforcing Gems so you can get Reviver)
- Also, I recommend you have everyone in your party at Level 65 or higher, and use all of the Sands you've accumulated throughout the game to boost everyone's stats.
(You can beat the Final Boss at slightly lower levels; it'll just be a lot harder.)
- Also, stock up on Potions and Skill Herbs, or fight monsters that drop Super Potions and Skill Potions.
When you feel like you're ready, travel through the Lands of Darkness until you get to the mountain range in the northeast corner, and then enter the Cloisters of Darkness.
Enemies
