In the barrier tower, I spent a bit farming up the future chicken knife and also grinding for reflect rings. It took a while, but eventually I got all four of them- including an outrageously lucky two reflect rings in a row, in back-to-back fights. You can bet that after that I ran back to Hiryuu on the deck and saved on the world map after that. Oh, and if you're curious, Condemn does go through reflect as if it weren't even there. Another point in its favor.

Honestly, I'm really liking the ranked-up oracle. I wasn't sure about it before, but Condemn is so weird and it's kinda cool. It can Doom undead, it can affect things through undead... only downsides are that it takes time- 07 seconds at this rank- and doesn't work on certain bosses. I'm not sure why- it might depend on the Heavy tag or something. Looking it up on the wiki just told me that 'the effect will randomly hit either the party or the opponents' which is verifiably false. Oh, and I felt like an idiot running all the way back to the world map to save when I stumble across a save point literally three steps from where I was grinding.

The Yellow Dragon fight for the blood sword was fun, and we got two coral rings out of it. With Faris's Lance, Lenna's Dance, and now Bartz' Blood Swance, we've all got some good drain. Except for Galuf, but he's invisible so I forget he's even there unless I need him to make something for me. So he's kind of like another Mid and Cid. We're going to be shit against undead, but what can you do. Also, Condemn ticks down faster if the oracle was hasted when they cast it. Or maybe that's if the person condemned is hasted? I have no clue.

Atomos, I somehow killed on my first try. Faris was destroyed instantly by meteor, and Bartz couldn't hit shit so I let the two slooowly drift into Atomos's mouth, pirate necromancer first. Lenna and Gid were hasted. With Gid's cannon and Lenna's healing, we somehow made it through just as Atomos was about to eat Bartz.
