Previously, at the Dwarven Castle, Cid left the party to repair the Enterprise. The party tried and failed to defend the Dwarven Castle's Crystal from Golbez, but fortunately, Rydia has rejoined! The party explored the castle. Now, they will make their way northwest to the Tower of Babil in a bid to recover the Crystals.
Underworld:
The party resumes in the Underworld outside the Dwarven Base entrance. After some minor ability updates, they set out northwest.
By the way, Rydia learned the Bardsong augment in the previous video. At Level 30, the following songs are available to her: Lullaby, Alluring Air, Silent Verse, Life's Anthem, Toadsong, and Hog Call. The best song is probably Hastemarch.
Along the way to the tower, Rosa reaches Level 30 and learns the White Magic spell Berserk.
Yang reaches Level 35.
As the party nears the Tower of Babil, there are three brief scenes of the Dwarven tanks shelling the building. The party saves before entering.
Tower of Babil (time 5:17):
The party starts on floor B13 of the Tower of Babil. Rydia's access to Dualcast comes in handy expecially when Flamehounds draw near; she can cast Stop on two at once. Even so, multiple Flamehounds can be lethal, thanks to Scorch. Fortunately, Kain also has Phoenix.
Rydia reaches Level 31.
In the northwest of B13, a chest contains an Emergency Exit. To the south of this chest, another chest contains a Hi-Potion.
Kain reaches Level 35. Cecil reaches Level 34.
The northeast chest contains an Ether.
The party takes the north-central door up to floor B12.
In the northwest, a chest contains a Green Beret. Kain equips this.
Rosa reaches Level 31 and learns the White Magic spell Curaga. Very good!
The party takes the southernmost door to a room with a chest. This chest contains an Icebrand guarded by a Security Eye. The Security Eye will sound the alarm and call for help when attacked. Fortunately, Yang can defeat it in one blow at full Focus with Lightning Claws equipped.
After the battle, Rydia reaches Level 32.
In the east of B12, a door leads to a room with another chest. This chest contains an Ice Lance guarded by another Security Eye.
Yang reaches Level 36.
The center-most door on B12 leads up to floor B11.
On B11, the chest just west of the door to B12 contains Cat Claws. A decent upgrade for Yang, to be sure, but the Faerie Claws are still quite useful.
In the southeast of B11, a chest contains a Hi-Potion.
Cecil reaches Level 35 and learns the White Magic spell Esuna.
In the southern corridor of B11, the eastern door leads up to the south-central fragment of floor B10.
The chests on the south-central part of B10 contain a Killer Bow and an Antarctic Wind.
The party returns downstairs to B11.
In the southwest of B11, a chest contains a Phoenix Down.
The southwest door leads up to the main part of floor B10. There are several doors up here.
The southwest door on B10 leads to a welcome save room. The party uses a Tent and saves the game.
Back in the main part of B10, there is a very nasty battle with two Flamehounds and a Flame Knight. The party does not get wiped out, fortunately, but it makes me glad I saved!
Kain reaches Level 36. Rosa reaches Level 32 and learns the White Magic spell Mini.
In the east of B10, a door leads to a room with a treasure chest. This chest contains an Ice Shield guarded by a Security Eye.
Rydia reaches Level 33 and learns the Black Magic spell Osmose.
Kain equips the Ice Shield along with the Flame Mail. This gives him resistance to Fire and Ice at once.
There are two doors in the southeast of B10. The party goes through the western door to find a room with a treasure chest. This chest contains Ice Armor guarded by--you guessed it--a Security Eye.
After the battle, Cecil equips the Flame Shield along with the Ice Armor for resistance to Ice and Fire.
The far southeastern door on B10 leads to an empty room.
The party takes the northwestern door up to floor B9. The Steel Golems on this floor have a chance to drop Giant's Gloves. The party will farm for Giant's Gloves a little later.
Rosa reaches Level 33 and learns the White Magic spell Dispel.
On the ledge just east of the door to B10, a chest contains an Arctic Wind.
Cecil reaches Level 36. Yang reaches Level 37.
The middle door on floor B9 is locked, for now. I wonder who has the key.
Kain reaches Level 37. Rydia reaches Level 34.
In the east of B9, a chest contains a Hi-Potion.
