Rubicante is one of the best boss fights in the game. If you explored the tower and found Ice-based weapons for Cecil and Kain, be sure to equip those. Otherwise, only hit him with Ice when he opens his cloak during the battle.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

Rubicant ended up being easy. Once that was over, it was time to escape the Tower of Bab-il on an aircraft named Falcon. After two pit stops (Dwarf Castle and Tomor), the next place to go was the Sealed Cave. The Trap Door enemies can be a pain because they target one ally, and then kill it later. Next time, I will continue my progress through Sealed Cave.


That's all for now.

The Sealed Cave is perhaps the most-hated dungeon in FF4 canon. Don't be afraid to explore the Underground a bit too as there are some lucrative side quests you can do before and after the cave.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

This is where I finish the Sealed Cave. At the end is where I find the Dark Crystal. After finding that crystal came a boss battle. Then it was time to escape the cave and head back to the Dwarf Castle. It is there where a new device was going to be added to the Falcon in order to escape the underground. Where will it take me next? I guess I'll find out next time.


That's all for now.

Here's where the game opens up a little.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

I begin this time with the Monster's Cave. Things were going fine up until this boss who may be even harder than Bouldergeist from Super Mario Galaxy. That of course is Asura. The problem with Asura, she tends to recover almost any HP she loses. There must be some weak point she has that can stop that. If there is, I don't know what it is. Anyone here know it?


That's all for now.

Well there are two possible ways of dealing with a spellcaster like that: Prevent her from casting spells to begin with or find a way to re-direct the spells away from her.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

This time it was all about defeating Asura and Levitan. I found out that once you use Wall on Asura, the battle becomes a semi-joke. Levitan took a few tries, but I eventually got through that. Next time, I will get out of the Monster Cave and figure out where to go next.


That's all for now.

Hope you found the Rat Tail while you were in there.

I might've seen the Rat Tail once. But when I did I was all "Wait, what I do need a Rat Tail for?"

Anyway, time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

I got out of the Monster Cave and I was sent to Mysidia. It is there where a new aircraft emerges from the ground allowing our characters to go to the moon. I got to admit, it took me forever to find a good landing spot on the moon. But I eventually found a good one. It is here where I continue progressing next time.


That's all for now.

There's a tail collector in the overworld. That's why you need a rat tail.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

This time, I went through the Cave of Bahaumat. Problem was, I kept losing battles either due to difficulty or the fact that I had to use a lot of MP. I don't know for sure. But I'm hoping to be able to finish the cave next time.


That's all for now.

The good news is you do not have to re-fight the Behemoths and there's always free healing in the Big Whale. Also the cave is MUCH easier with 5 party members.

So after my last playing session and viewing a walkthrough. I realized I may have jumped ahead of myself. Here's what happened:

I decided to see what and if I passed up anything. One example would be getting a sword called Excalibur. My guess is you need to do something in order for the swordsman to give you that weapon. And in response to what Dyne said, is getting a 5th party member possible at this point? If so, I'll look up where to do so.


That's all for now.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

So I couldn't figure out how to get Excalibur. I know where to go to get it, but couldn't trigger the scene as to when Cecil gets it. Next it was back to the moon where I decided to follow the Lunar Path. Lead me to where I get a new party member FuSoYa and where I fought four elemental bosses. Next time I will try once again to go through Cave of Bahaumat and hopefully make it through this time.


That's all for now.

Sadly you missed the best time to get Excalibur. If you give the adamant ore to the blacksmith before going to Mysidia to summon the Lunar Whale, you can return and pick up Excalibur before going to the moon.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

I decided to skip Bahamuat Cave and head back to Lunar Path with the objective of reaching the Core. The farthest I got so far is Lunar Subterrainan B5. Hopefully I will get further next time.


That's all for now.

I find intesting how all of this sounds familiar to me, (at least the boss fights) thanks to Final Fantasy Record Keeper.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

This time I got further into that one dungeon where I left off last at B5. This time I finally managed to find a save point once I got to B7. Okay, this progress report was rather short, but I've got a feeling that the final boss is coming soon.


That's all for now.

Hope you're taking time to explore the dungeon and find the treasure since all of the best equipment is in there.
