Previously, Golbez and Fusoya fought Zeromus's Malice in the Lunar Core. The Lunarians' Tale came to an end as Golbez escaped to the Blue Planet on the Lunar Whale. Now, before we start the final chapter, The Crystals, we will return to the previous tales and do some grinding. We will start in Rydia's Tale.

Overworld:

When we resume Rydia's Tale from the completion save, Rydia and Luca start outside Agart. Both are at Level 27, as they were when the tale ended.

They enter the town of Agart.

Agart (time 0:30):

The party goes to the inn to stock up on Potions, Hi-Potions, and other consumables. They also advance time to a full moon. Then, they leave town.

Overworld (time 2:03):

The party enters the Agart Mine.

Agart Mine (time 2:07):

On floor B1, Rydia reaches Level 28.

On floor B2, the party uses the healing pot to recover.

On floor B3, they use a Tent at the save point to advance time to a waning moon. During a waning moon, they have a chance of encountering a Green Dragon on B3. (In the 2D version, it is on floor B4, instead.) A Green Dragon can drop a Green Tail, but it is quite rare, so I'm not counting on it. Of course, the dragons are dangerous, but they are good for experience points. A good tactic is to put Stop on the Green Dragon and then use the Lightning Brain Buster band.

Luca reaches Level 28.

Rydia reaches Level 29.

The party goes up to B2 to use the healing pot as needed to recover Rydia's MP.

Luca reaches Level 29.

Rydia reaches Level 30.

On B2, Luca reaches Level 30.

On B3, Rydia reaches Level 31.

Luca reaches Level 31.

From a Mindflayer, the party gets the Mindflayer summon item. Nice! Rydia uses it to learn the Mindflayer summon.

Rydia reaches Level 32 and learns the Black Magic spell Bio.

On B2, Luca reaches Level 32.

When the moon phase changes, the party walks out of the cave, because the darned Warp spell is blocked in here.

Overworld (time 39:42):

The party goes to Agart.

Agart (time 39:46):

At the inn, the party stock up on Potions and Hi-Potions again, among other things. They stay at the inn until a waning moon. Then, they leave town again.

Overworld (time 41:28):

They return to the Agart Mine.

Agart Mine (time 42:06):

The party descends to B3 to continue grinding.

Rydia reaches Level 33.

Luca reaches Level 33.

Rydia reaches Level 34.

At the end of their session, the party saves at the save point on B3. They will continue grinding next time.

Thanks for watching!
