Previously, the party collected the Pink, Black, and Yellow Tails and turned them in for Adamant Armor, Onion Armor, and Onion Gloves. Now, they will finish collecting tails for gear. Then, they will start collecting Rydia's hidden monster summons. Like tails, the items that teach monster summons are ultra-rare monster drops.

Underworld:

The party resumes outside the Dwarven Base in the Underworld. They fly southwest to Agart.

In the Agart area, the party can use Sirens to encounter Green Dragons. Not bad, as far as dragons go.

Soon, the party earns the ultra-rare drop, a Green Tail (time 4:21). Yay!

The party takes the Enterprise back to the Overworld.

Overworld (time 5:01):

The party lands near Mythril and takes the Hovercraft to the Adamant Isle Grotto.

Adamant Isle Grotto (time 5:41):

The party turns in the Green Tail to the older gnome. Their reward is the Onion Helm.

The party heads to the Dwarven Base.

Dwarven Base (time 7:27):

The party uses the healing pot to restore themselves. Then, they head back out.

Underworld (time 7:42):

The party adjusts their abilities to have everyone attack. Kain takes the Adamant Armor and equips a Cursed Ring for elemental absorption. Then, the party flies west to the Passage of the Eidolons.

Passage of the Eidolons (time 8:49):

The party heads through floor B1--don't forget to use Float!

On floor B2, they use Sirens to encounter pairs of Thunder Dragons. Thunder Dragons spam Thunderbolt. This is why Kain geared himself for elemental absorption.

Eventually, the party acquires a Blue Tail (time 20:56). Yay!

The party teleports out of the dungeon.

Underworld (time 21:18):

The party stops by at the Dwarven Base.

Overworld (time 22:11):

The party heads back to the Adamant Isle Grotto.

Adamant Isle Grotto (time 22:50):

The party trades in the Blue Tail for the last piece of Onion gear, the Onion Shield. They now have a complete set! The Onion Shield prevents all status ailments. Nifty.

For acquiring a full set of Onion gear, the player earns the Steam achievement "The Onion Swordsman".

The party heads back out to the Overworld.

Overworld (time 24:24):

Now, it is time to hunt for monster summons. First, the party heads to the Chocobo Village north of Troia.

Chocobo Village (time 25:12):

The party grabs a fresh Black Chocobo.

Overworld (time 25:26):

The party flies east to the Lodestone Cavern.

Lodestone Cavern (time 25:46):

The party heads down through floors B1, B2, and B3.

In the passage linking B3 to B4, the party can use Sirens to encounter Mindflayers. Mindflayers are not especially troublesome anymore.

Eventually, the party acquires the ultra-rare drop, a Mindflayer item (time 33:22). Rydia uses it to learn the Mindflayer summon.

The party Teleports out.

Overworld (time 34:04):

The party returns to the Chocobo Village.

Chocobo Village (time 34:11):

The party grabs a fresh Black Chocobo.

Overworld (time 34:44):

The party flies south to Troia. After picking up the Enterprise, they fly southeast to Baron.

In the Baron region, the party runs around. Their targets are Goblins, which drop the Goblin item, and Helldivers, which drop the Cockatrice item. They set up escape abilities so that they can get away from needless enemy formations, such as three Floating Eyes. They focus on Goblins and Helldivers.

Eventually, the party acquires the ultra-rare drop, a Cockatrice item, from a group of Helldivers (time 48:16). Rydia uses it to learn the Cockatrice summon.

The party heads to the Chocobo Forest southwest of Baron.

Chocobo Forest (time 48:58):

The party talks to the White Chocobo to restore their MP. Then, they leave the forest.

Overworld (time 49:35):

The party saves near the castle and town of Baron. Next time, they will go after the other two monster summons, Goblin and Bomb.

Thanks for watching!
