Breath of Fire III/The Final Confrontation

Difficult Battles
After you are properly prepared, return to the main room of the Myria station. Go to the door in the left corner of the room, which, thanks to Key Card A, you can finally open. This will take you to the final area of the Myria Station. You find yourself in a long corridor. The enemies that will appear during the random battles in this area are extremely tough and they can put you in trouble if your level is not very high. You will have to contend with enemies such as Goo King, Mist Man (a much more powerful version of Armor) and the fearsome Vampire. However these enemies, once defeated, leave large amounts of experience points and zenny, so it is certainly a good idea to kill as many as possible, to increase your level for the final battle. There are no items to collect in this area, so the quickest way to get past it is this: go right at the first intersection, left at the second and left again at the third. Walk through the door to enter a new area.

Maze of old bosses
You will enter a kind of labyrinth made up of contiguous rooms. The access doors to these rooms have a light above them. Rooms you have already entered are marked with a blue light, while those you have not yet gone into have a red light. However, some doors with red light must be opened on the other side to be unlocked. At the bottom of this labyrinth there is also a room with a diary, where you can save your game and carry out all the usual camp operations, while in the adjoining room there are beds where you can rest. This is your last restore point. There are no random battles in these rooms, but you will find several bosses and sub-bosses that you have previously faced (which are called “Samples”), plus a new one. Sometimes these bosses will also appear in groups of two or more. Below is the list of bosses that can be encountered:


 * 3 Nues
 * 2 Huge Slugs
 * 2 Mikbas
 * Dodo
 * Angler
 * 2 Ammonites
 * Manmo
 * 5 Rokies
 * Gaist
 * 3 Stallions

None of these battles should give you any problems, but if you want to get to the area where you can save and rest right away, the shortest route is this: take the door to the northwest in the first two rooms, then proceed straight north-east until you reach the room with the diary. This way you will only encounter 5 Rockies and 3 Stallions. After you have rested, you can explore all the other rooms at your leisure. To proceed towards the meeting with the goddess you will have to go down the ladder that you find in the room with the diary, but before doing so it is best to prepare yourself properly and explore all the other rooms. Then proceed to search for items and eliminate all copies of the old bosses. It is not necessary to face all these battles to proceed, but it is advisable to do so, to accumulate experience points in view of the final battle, which is now near. Also, there are some useful items to collect in this maze. Given your experience level at this point in the game, none of these battles should be difficult to win. In fact, it can be fun to see bosses who have put you in trouble in the past being defeated so easily. The only one that could create some problems if your level is not very high is the "new entry" Dodo (Sample 4), probably a remnant of a cut part of the game. It has a high HP value and an attack that can paralyze you. Maybe use Ryu's Ultimate Kaiser form to take him out quickly.

When you have cleared all the rooms, stop for a moment before going down the ladder. If you still have some pending things to fix, now is the time. For example, you can go back to Caer Xhan to buy what you think will be useful for the final battle. You can go fishing or pay a last visit to the Masters, to learn new skills. You can complete any unfinished side quests, such as the fairy village or desert trips. You can also take advantage of the powerful enemies found in the previous corridor to accumulate experience points and increase your level. If you are particularly patient and determined, you can also try to defeat the Berserker and ArchMage in the Container Yard. When you're finally ready, save your game using the diary and go down the ladder.
