So down we go into Ghido's cave. Metamorphs are shit and annoying and I hate them. But we get through it, and I have to say- I love Bartz poking Ghido. In fact, I love a lot of lines in this game.

Then I had to get back out. Fuck metamorphs. Did get two staves of light, though. Gave one to Lenna so that she can do actual damage, and the other to Faris to increase her magic stat. Once out, I made a stop back at Bal to go farm the basement for Faris's first dark magic spell, then we're off to the forest of Moore.

Bartz was really feeling more and more useless, where I'd just use him and pray for an Elemental Finisher... Then he ranked up. Turns out, in this modded version of the game, a level 3 gladiator gains Rapid Fire/X-fight. And he also has spellblade. Fuck yes. With that, and me learning more about how and when to use combine, and the normally-annoying enemies in the forest aren't too bad. I gave the Aegis Shield to Gid, since he's more useful than Bartz alive.

The seals are vulnerable to Condemn's Doom. Nuff said.

Then Galuf fought Exdeath, and died. But not before reflecting everything Exdeath was even doing.

One thing I really love a lot about FFV is the scene where Galuf dies. You've got characters casting all of the healing spells they have, raise death, elixers, phoenix downs, etc, and actually *showing* them not work. Then Krile took Galuf's place, except instead of turning invisible she actually put on a hat that's larger than her entire wind drake.

Now, to Exdeath's Castle. I ran out of potions and hipotions, so I've taken to having Lenna alternate between condemning an enemy to Stop and condemning allies to Regenerate, and bringing everyone back to full. Exdeath was rather challenging- though his blasty spells all bounced off my rings, he still insisted on Vacuum Waving Lenna to death, repeatedly, so that I couldn't heal. It was annoying as shit.

Anyway, that's it for this update- Onward, to the third world!
