Previously, the party exchanged some of their tails for rewards and then picked up some Adamant gear. Then, they explored floors B1-B4 of the Depths on the Moon. Now, they will continue exploring this dangerous dungeon.

Depths:

The party resumes on floor B4 in the Depths. A boss battle is coming up. Since the boss will use a lot of magic, a waxing moon is a good phase. Rydia should be in the party lineup.

When the party goes up to the northern section of B4, a scene with a Mysterious Girl takes place.

After the scene, it is boss time against Bahamut and the Mysterious Girl. The Mysterious Girl will cast powerful spells, such as Meteor. Bahamut will charge up for Megaflare. Per usual in these battles, the Mysterious Girl is invincible, so the party should target Bahamut. Shell will help take the bite out of the Mysterious Girl's spells.

Eventually, a battle scene will take place. Another scene takes place afterwards. Rydia relearns the Summon spell Bahamut.

For obtaining all non-hidden Eidolons, the player earns the achievement "I Choose You!".

The party rests and saves.

Ceodore reaches Level 55.

Edge reaches Level 57.

Kain reaches Level 54.

The party takes the northern exit to floor B5. This level is simply a corridor leading north.

Rydia reaches Level 56.

The party exits north to floor B6.

In the northwest room, a chest contains a Lunar Helm. In the northeast room, a chest contains an Elixir.

The party takes the north-central exit to floor B7. Look at all the Mysterious Girls! It seems they are called Maenads.

Rosa reaches Level 52.

Ceodore reaches Level 56.

The party exits north to floor B8. This seems to be a stasis chamber for Maenads.

Kain reaches Level 55. Edge reaches Level 58.

In the northwest corner, a chest contains a set of Lunar Gloves.

Look out for Deathmasks. They are annoying with their Reflect strategy.

Rydia reaches Level 57.

In the north, the party examines the stasis chamber with a young Maenad just west of the central door. A cutscene with the "Maenad?" takes place. The door opens.

In the northeast corner, a chest contains a Lunar Shield.

Rosa reaches Level 53.

Dust Mousse are weak to holy-elemental attacks. Holy-elemental weapons like the Excalibur and the Holy Lance are effective against them.

Ceodore reaches Level 57.

The party takes the northern exit to floor B9. This room contains numerous crystal pedestals, a save point, and an interdimensional elevator.

The Chimera Geist can attack three times when its turn is ready.

The party rests and saves at the save point. Next time, they will continue their journey through the Depths.

Thanks for watching!
