Previously, Luca, Rydia, Edge, and the Man in Black confronted Titan in Agart. They collected their Small Tail rewards from the Tail Collector in the Cave of Eblan. Then, they went to Baron Castle for a showdown with the Mysterious Girl. That ended the first part of The Crystals. Then, the party took off for the Moon aboard the Lunar Whale. Now, they will begin exploring the game's final dungeon. The first part of the dungeon will look mighty familiar to players of Final Fantasy IV.

Lunar Surface:

We regain control of the party on the Lunar Surface. I am using a party of Kain, Rosa, Ceodore, Rydia, and Edge. Rydia transfers her Ribbon to Rosa, who I think needs it a bit more.

The party returns to the Lunar Whale.

Lunar Whale (time 0:45):

The party checks things out at the Landing Point. The interdimensional elevator will become useful as the party progresses through the final dungeon. Namingway is on hand to sell various goods. The party picks up Defender swords for Kain and Ceodore.

They board the Lunar Whale. They snag Golbez's Diamond Helm so that Ceodore can equip it for lightning resistance. They also get Luca's Diamond Gloves for Kain for the same reason.

By the way, Cecil joins at Level 30. He comes with the Kingswod, the Lustrous Shield, the Lustrous Helm, Knight's Armor, and Gauntlets. Unfortunately, with what he's going through, his stats are terrible, and he has no White Magic spells available. Kain and Ceodore will pick up the slack for him for now.

Having a lot of party members presents a lot of Band opportunities. Kain and Edge can learn Mirage Dive. Cecil and Rosa can learn Holy Blade. Rosa, Porom, and Leonora can learn Pure White Magic. Rosa and Rydia can learn Holy Burst. Rosa, Rydia, Palom, Porom, and Leonora can learn Infinity. Rosa and Porom can learn Holy Ray. Rosa, Rydia, Izayoi, and Harley can learn Temptation. Ceodore, Luca, and Ursula can learn Delta Evolution. Ceodore, Palom, Porom, Luca, and Ursula can learn Makeshift Cannon. Ceodore and Rydia can learn Thunder Wave. Ceodore, Palom, and Tsukinowa can learn Rapid Fire. Rydia, Leonora, Izayoi, and Harley can learn Call Me Queen. Rydia, Izayoi, and Harley can learn Wild Whip. Rydia and Edward can learn Mirage Song. Rydia, Palom, and Leonora can learn Tri-disaster. Rydia and Yang can learn Sylph Protection.

The party exits to the Landing Point and returns to the Lunar Surface.

Lunar Surface (time 4:33):

All seems quiet on the surface. In the valley just west of the landing point, they find and take a cave entrance.

Subterrane (time 4:46):

The party has reached the Subterrane. The portal ahead leads to floor B1. Hm, looks familiar!

A hidden passage east of the central teleporter leads to the outer path around the northern and western side of the area. In the northwest of this path, a chest contains an X-Potion. In the southwest of this path, a chest contains a suit of Genji Armor. For now, I'm more concerned with Kain and Ceodore having elemental protection.

A hidden passage west of the central teleporter leads west to a ledge. The teleporter leads to the eastern part of the area.

The party continues down to floor B2. Here is where they begin encountering enemies. Look out for Chimera Brains and their nasty Frost Breath.

The party arrives in the east of B2. The teleporter in the west of this section leads to the main western section.

In the southwest, the party continues downstairs to floor B3. They arrive in the southwest section.

Ceodore reaches Level 42.

In the north of this section, a chest contains a Blood Lance.

The party backtracks up to B2.

Rosa reaches Level 40 and learns the White Magic spell Reflect.

Kain reaches Level 41.

The party continues backracking up to floor B1. A brief scene takes place as they approach the south-central stairway.

From the south-central stairway, they descend to the southeastern section of B2.

In the hidden passage just north of this section, there is a chest containing a Genji Shield.

The main hidden passage from the southeast eventually leads to the northeastern section. A chest here contains a Decoy.

Another hidden passage leads to the northwestern section. A chest here contains a Lustrous Sword. Ceodore can equip this as well as Cecil.

The description is continued in the comments.
