Medal of Smiting (Day 242)

Following up on your slaying of Neo Shinryu, I walked into Enuo's court. The last dungeon resembles the crystal palace and contains two uber items: Robe of Lords and Mutsunokami blade (the Sixth God?). Both items they made up just for Final Fantasy V's bonus dungeon. A sub-boss guards Enuo, and naturally his name is Guardian. This replica of the soul canon is not much of a challenge for a couple rounds of !Rapid Fire defeats it easily.

Onwards to Enuo. I won't lie, he beat me the first time because of my carelessness. He attacks with Maelstrom and Almageist, in addition to use constant use of Zombie Powder. I luckily survived because of my holy waters and elixirs. Yes, I had to use elixirs because my mages ran out of MP. With 600 MP and Gold Hairpins (halves MP cost), I still ran out of MP quick because of dual-casting. My word of advice is to not foresake healing at every chance. It shouldn't be too much of a problem if you keep at it with Bahamut and !Rapid Fire. It's going to be a long battle. My reward for defeating him? the last job class, Necromancer. Do I care about this class? Not at all. Why gain another job class when there's nothing left to fight? I have no idea.

I take that back. There is one more dungeon left, the Cloister of the Dead, which sounds like some place you'd find in Diablo II. There are six groups of five monsters here. You have to fight them all consequetively and are only allowed to refresh after defeating a group. This is totally easy after fighting the bosses in the bonus dungeon. Here is my configuration for the final fights:
Bartz (Freelancer) - Set him with !Sword Magic and !Rapid Fire to do damage on elemental bosses. Equip him with Ultima Weapon (from Neo Shinryu), Apocalypse, Ribbon, Maximillian, and a Coral Ring.
Krile (Mime) - Set her with !White, !Time, and !Zeniage so she can heal and do physical damage at the same time. By then you don't need money anwyay. I equip her with the Chickenknife (by now it was doing 250 dmg), Flame Shield, Gold Hairpin (halves MP cost), Robe of Lords, and Coral Ring.
Faris (Freelancer) - She became the tank with !Rapid Fire and !+30% HP. She ended up with 9300 HP at level 75. I equip her with Mutsunokami and Masamune (For some reason these swords do many critical hits). She wears a Ribbon, Vishnu's vest, and a Coral Ring.
Lenna (Mime) - She's set with !White, !Time, and !Summon as the designated mage. The dual-cast Bahamut comes from her. She equips the Gladius Knife, Force Shield (from Omega Mk.II), Gold Hairpin, Black Robe, and Crystal Orb (Guardian).

With this I defeat the monsters in the Cloister of the dead. My prize for this? the Medal of Smiting, or better known as, bragging rights. Or better yet, the right to move on to Final Fantasy VI.
