Final Fantasy IV [PC] Playthrough #034, Lunar Subterrane: B7-B8; Sealed Weapons

This is video #034 in my playthrough of Final Fantasy IV for the PC. Final Fantasy IV [PC] Playlist:    • Final Fantasy IV [PC] Playthrough   Previously, the party continued exploring the Lunar Subterrane. They explored floors B4 through B6 and reached a save room on floor B5. Now, they will continue exploring the Lunar Subterrane. Lunar Subterrane: The party resumes in the save room on floor B5. Exiting south from the save room, they find themselves on the top level in the east of B5. East of the save room, they find a pedestal with the Ragnarok. A scene takes place when they examine it. It is boss time against Dark Bahamut! He is a harder version of Bahamut. Dark Bahamut wastes no time casting Megaflare. He also uses Counter: Megaflare in response to summons. When magic is cast on him, he uses Counter: Flare. He can also respond to physical attacks with Counter: Attack. He can cast Flare, and he can even put up Reflect. With Draw Attacks, Cecil uses Defend to keep the rest of the party safe. With Blink and Shell up, he is fairly safe, himself. Rydia has Piercing Magic equipped, so she can nuke Dark Bahamut with Flare with impunity. After the battle, Kain reaches Level 71. Cecil reaches Level 74. Afterwards, the party obtains the Ragnarok. Cecil equips the Ragnarok right away. The party backtracks through the save room. The teleporter takes them to the northern end of the western stairway on B5. The party goes downstairs. They take the teleporter to the northern end of the western stairway on B6. Downstairs, they take the teleporter to the eastern end of the bottom level of B6. Edge reaches Level 72. The party backtracks up to the middle level of B6. Rosa reaches Level 74. For completing the Lunar Subterrane B6 map, the party earns an Elixir. In the east of the middle level, the party enters a passage. In the northwest of the passage, a chest contains a Minerva Bustier guarded by two Moonmaidens and a Dark Sage. A pretty normal encounter, at this point. If you're really lucky, the Dark Sage will drop a Ribbon, but don't hold your breath. Rydia can equip the Minerva Bustier, but it is geared more towards physicality than magic. That is not her strength. In the east, the party takes the stairway down to floor B7. They start in the northwest of B7. Rydia reaches Level 74. Kain reaches Level 72. There are three doors along B7's southern hall. The western door leads to a welcome save room. The chest in the north of the room contains a Cottage, in case the party needs one. It is a good idea to rest and save before continuing! The middle door leads to a room where a pedestal holds a lance. This weapon, too, is guarded. Examining the pedestal triggers a boss battle with the Plague Horror. The Plague Horror will cast Doom on the entire party and then cast Haste on them. This battle is a race to defeat the Plague Horror before Doom runs out. Fortunately, this is trivial if the party is strong enough and has all the weapons up to this point. Berserk on Kain and Edge, as well as Flare spells from Rydia, will subdue the Plague Horror quickly. After the battle, Cecil reaches Level 75. For defeating the Plague Horror, the party obtains the Holy Lance. This is Kain's best spear in the game, so he equips it right away. Naturally, it is holy-elemental. The eastern door in the southern hallway leads to a room with two chests. As the party steps forward, another challenger draws near. It is boss time against the Lunasaur! The Lunasaur likes to hit the entire party with Bad Breath. When targeted with physical attacks, the Lunasaur uses Counter: Reflect. It will bounce Bio off its Reflect onto the party. The biggest problem is recovering from Bad Breath. If Rosa has Omnicasting and a lucky Ribbon dropped from a Dark Sage, things are not too bad. She can cast Esuna on the entire party to help them recover from Bad Breath. If Rydia has Piercing Magic, she can blast the Lunasaur with swift Firaga or Flare spells. After the battle, the party opens the chests for two Ribbons. Magnificent! Cecil equips one, Rydia the other. Rosa already has one. Edge reaches Level 73. Back in the main room of B7, the party backtracks to the save room to rest and save. Then, they continues east and north to the northern part of the floor. Rosa reaches level 75. Rydia reaches Level 75. For completing the Lunar Subterrane B7 map, the party earns (a paltry) 3 Coeurl Whiskers. The description is continued in the comments.
