Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age - To Draklor! / Boss: Doctor Cid
0After reaching the Imperial City of Archades itself, we soon discover that it's hard to move freely, and that to reach our destination, we will need some "chops", cue a minigame of sorts where you have to piece stories together to connect the right people, gathering all 28 chops takes a while, and even the 21 I got here took long, so I just showed two of them on screen before moving on.
Once we can move freely, we quickly get a way to reach our actual destination, the Draklor Laboratory, where Doctor Cid lies. It is a fairly long dungeon that involves closing and opening opposite doors, it took me quite a while to find my way, so I cut things short here, showing me finding our first Greatsword, the Claymore, which despite having the same attack as my current Katana, deals more damage because it purely scales on the user's Strength instead of Strength and Magic, and Basch's Strength is much superior in my case!
When reaching the last floor, we get a cutscene before we can save, the boss is just ahead, but don't forget to go to the side room to get the Gil Toss Technick! You cannot come back to this dungeon and I don't know if the Technick is available anywhere else, so beware!
As for the boss itself, Doctor Cid is surrounded by Rooks, those devices heal and buff him so they're your primary target, as Balthier points out when you take one out. Once you knock all four of them down, the real battle can start! Cid's attacks ignore your Defense and are quite accurate, so don't expect him to miss and be ready to heal, thankfully, his damage isn't too high. He also has a cinematic attack that deals relatively light area damage, not a big concern and you'll know it's coming when you see him walk to the room's entrance.
After that, we get a good number of cutscenes giving us our next goal, the City of Giruvegan!
