Previously, the party finished exploring the Sylph Cave and found the Sylphs' Cache. Then, they explored the Passage of the Eidolons and reached the Feymarch. Now, they will explore the Feymarch and meet the rulers.
Feymarch:
The party resumes in the northwest house in the Feymarch. They prepare their abilities for the upcoming boss battles. Also, Edge equips his second Kiku-ichimonji.
The chests in this house contain a Bestiary and a Phoenix Down.
The party heads out and explores the town section of the Feymarch. In the inn in the northeast, a few good things are available, notably Bacchus's Wines. However, the inn is prohibitively expensive at 1,200 gil per night! If you have Cabins, you are better off camping at the save point in the northwest house.
The armorer is in the east of town. The party picks up an Aegis Shield and a Luminous Robe. Rosa equips the Luminous Robe right away. Cecil will equip the Aegis Shield later.
The weaponsmith is in the west of town. The party picks up a Blitz Whip for Rydia for later.
Just northeast of the weaponsmith, the party finds the Eidolon Library. Plenty of interesting stuff to read here.
The throne room is below floor B1 of the Eidolon Library. Dialogue takes place when they speak to Queen Asura. They agree to her challenge.
Afterwards, it is boss time against Asura! She is tricky because she will buff and cure herself throughout the battle. The best way to neutralize this is to have Rosa cast Dispel and Reflect on Asura.
Asura also counters all physical attacks with her own punishing physicals. Cecil has Draw Attacks equipped, so he will take the attacks in party members' place. It also helps if Rosa puts Blink on Cecil. Rydia has Piercing Magic equipped, so all her spells can pierce the Reflect on Asura. The queen is not much trouble on the second playthrough.
Upon Asura's defeat, Rosa reaches Level 51. Cecil reaches Level 52. Edge reaches Level 49.
More dialogue takes place after the battle. Rydia learns the Summon Asura. Unfortunately, the random effect makes Asura unreliable.
After the scene, the party leaves the library. They go to the northwest house to rest and save.
When they return to the throne room, the party talks to the Eidolon King. Now that they have defeated Asura, they can challenge him, too. They do so.
Boss time against Leviathan! He opens up with Deluge, which deals a lot of damage to the party. It will help to get Slow on Leviathan right away. Between Deluges, Leviathan will chill the party with Blizzara and Blizzaga spells. He is weak to lightning-elemental attacks, so the party exploits that weakness to defeat him quickly. In this playthrough, Rydia's ability to dualcast Thundaga spells is helpful, as is Edge's ability to add the lightning element to his physical attacks.
More dialogue takes place after the battle. Rydia learns the Summon Leviathan! Most excellent.
After the scenes, the party returns to their typical ability setup. They leave the library and head to the top level of the Feymarch.
From the top level of the Feymarch, they take the southern teleporter to the Waterfall Grotto. Then, they use the blue teleporter to return to the Underworld surface.
Underworld (time 26:20):
The party flies east to the Dwarven Base.
Dwarven Base (time 26:43):
The party heals up with the healing pot. Then, they head back out.
Underworld (time 26:58):
The party flies southwest. Between Tomra and the Passage of the Eidolons, they find a cave entrance in an oval depression. This is the entrance to the Sealed Cave. The party enters after saving.
Sealed Cave (time 27:26):
The party starts at the Sealed Cave - Entrance. They open the door to the north by selecting Luca's Necklace.
Past the door, the party reaches floor B1, where they begin exploring the Sealed Cave in earnest. Look out for the Chimera Brains, whose Blaze attacks cause a lot of damage. A pair of them can wipe out the weaker members of the party in short order.
In the south of B1, a chest contains a Bestiary.
Kain reaches Level 53. Rydia reaches Level 52.
In the southeast, the party examines the door. It is really a Trap Door! So are almost all of the doors in this place. Their Ninth Dimension attack inflicts instant death. Fortunately, if Cecil has Draw Attacks and the Aegis Shield, he can keep the party almost entirely safe. However, a weakened Trap Door can transform into a Chimera Brain, so be careful. Trap Doors stay gone after they are defeated.
Rosa reaches Level 52.
In the southeast room, the northwest chest contains a Kotetsu. The northeast chest contains an Ether.
