Previously, the party visited King Bahamut in the Dragon Caves. He told them to prove themselves by bringing back a sign of their courage. So, they have made their way to the entrance to the Citadel of Trials.
As we begin, the party enters the Citadel of Trials. Just inside, they meet a gentleman who lets them undergo the trials because they have the Crown from the Marsh Cave.
In the northwest, they approach the throne (time 0:54). Poof! They are teleported away to 2F. This floor is a teleporter maze. Swell.
In the northeast room, a Clay Golem guards a chest that contains Gauntlets (time 3:09). These are very good because they can be used as an item in battle to cast Thundara on the enemy troop.
After a battle, the party reaches Level 28 (time 3:34).
When the party reaches the southeast corner, they take the stairway up to 3F (time 4:10). This floor is a lot more straightforward.
In the northeast, a chest contains a Healing Staff (time 5:17). This is another good item. Used as an item in battle, it will cast Heal on the party.
There are three chests in the northwest corner (time 6:09). They contain Steel Gloves, an Ice Brand, and a Ruby Armlet.
The southwest corner has four more chests (time 7:00). One is linked to another chest in the dungeon. The other three contain a Cottage, 1,455 gil, and 7,340 gil.
To the east of these chests, the last chest contains the Rat Tail (time 8:17). Such an amazing symbol of courage! The throne is the exit, but it is protected by a group of Dragon Zombies.
At the end of the battle, the party reaches Level 29 (time 8:52).
The throne takes the party back to the throne on 1F (time 9:23). From there, they exit and make their way back to the airship.
The party boards the airship (time 13:27). After a short flight, they enter King Bahamut's lair in the Dragon Caves (time 13:36). When they report in, he honors their bravery by upgrading their vocations! Cecil the Warrior becomes a Knight. Yang the Monk becomes a Master. Rosa the White Mage becomes a White Wizard. Rydia the Black Mage becomes a Black Wizard. The Knight gains the ability to use some white magic spells up to Level 3. The White Wizard gains the ability to use all white magic spells. The Black Wizard gains the ability to use all black magic spells. If you had a Thief, the Ninja would gain the ability to learn a few black magic spells.
The party returns to Cornelia (time 15:35). Cecil picks up Cure, Protect, and Blink. He cannot get Dia.
Then, they hit Pravoka again (time 16:08). Cecil grabs Blindna, Silence, and NulShock.
They go back to Elfheim (time 16:47). Cecil gets Cura and NulBlaze. He cannot pick up Diara or Heal.
Next, they revisit Melmond (time 17:24). Rydia gets the black magic spell Teleport, which returns the party to the previous floor of a dungeon.
They return to Crescent Lake (time 17:56). Rosa picks up Exit, which teleports the party out of a dungeon entirely.
Afterwards, the party does a little gil grinding near the Citadel of Trials (time 19:12).
After a battle, the party reaches Level 30 (time 21:32).
When they have some funds, they return to Gaia (time 26:36). Yang picks up a Ruby Armlet.
Then, they rest in Cornelia. Next time, they will check out Mount Gulg near Crescent Lake.
Thanks for watching!
