Now that the treasures were all taken from the Mirage Tower, Hanj and party go to outer space where they fight Air (in space?) and a horrible machine before putting an end to the Fiend of Wind. All that's left is to put an end to the chaos in the Temple of Fiends, or at least try. Some highlights:

37 minutes, 50 seconds - Warmech! This foe has a 3/64 chance (4.68%) of appearing and here it is. This enemy is even more powerful than Tiamat and would have absolutely destroyed my party. Fortunately you can run from it if you're lucky. It grants a lot of experience if you manage to kill it, but it really isn't worth it in my opinion since you have to get all the way to this screen in order to have a tiny chance of finding one.

40 minutes - Speaking of Tiamat, for some bizarre reason Tiamat is weak against BANE, which is an instant death spell that can be cast by using the Bane Sword as an item. Let's go ahead and do that.

48 minutes, 30 seconds - Time to get the legendary Xcalber, which none of us can use. Sell it for cash at around the 52 minute mark!

49 minutes, 10 seconds - Here's another example where all of the foes can run away, leaving you with one experience point and zero GP.

58 minutes, 30 seconds - Time to take on the final dungeon...

1 hour, 58 minutes, 30 seconds - ...and barely make it out with our tails between our legs. At least we managed to get all of the items in there, including the most powerful weapon in the game, the Masmune! It should be noted that without an EXIT or WARP spell there is no way out of this area.

2 hours, 10 minutes, 40 seconds - We would get destroyed in the final dungeon even with the Masmune. The rest of this video is grinding for levels in the Ice Cave, which I find to be the fastest and easiest spot to do so. (I gained 4 levels in about an hour).

3 hours, 13 minutes, 25 seconds - Whoops! I accidentally fell into a hole!

Now with our newly gained levels, it's time for a rematch in the Temple of Fiends, and yes, the four fields return each time...
