FFIV Complete Walkthrough Part 6: The Sand Pearl (3) - The Spoony Bard
After the journey through the waterway (which you only need to do ONCE in FFIV.....but TAY is another matter), you see the Damcyan Desert and castle. However, before you can enter, the Red Wings blow the castle to kingdom come.
Pretty much almost everyone is dead and most chests are emptied. However, on the side of the castle is the dungeon area with unopened treasure. The place is pretty straightforward. Now, before going too far, deequip Tellah. At the top floor (or, as to as you get), you see a new sprite on the ground. This is Anna and she's practically dead. As Tellah rages, some bard shows up and Tellah enters a story fight with him, thus giving birth to the famous line, YOU SPOONY BARD!
The fight was done better here than other versions. The dialog is based on tellah doing damage to the bard. However, his physical attack hit rate SUCKS, so like the GBA version, the fight could take alot more time since tellah would keep missing, thus stopping the next line of dialog from appearing.
After the fight, we first learn of Golbez, the new head of the Red Wings. tellah leaves and then Edward the Bard joins. And.......that's pretty much all you need to do in Damcyan for the rest of the game. Nothing new happens or changes. there is a healing pot on the top floor, though, but besides that, there is no reason to return to Damcyan ever again.
The next part of the video is leveling up. Edward has......nothing of use. He's got a bunch of abilities that pretty much suck. Salve splits a potion to everyone with single digit healing, Hide well, hides him from battle (something he will automatically do when in critical health) and Sing, which is NO WHERE near as good as it was in the DS version or TAY. And his attack and HP are weak. Bascially, back row and use the Harp to attack, which may cause enemies to fall asleep. When he hits about LV 20, he will be doing respectable damage.
Enjoy.
