Gariland Magic City[edit]
Introduction[edit]
The chapter exists as a flash back from the previous event and starts with several cadets talking about the Death Corps.
Ramza and Delita talk about Prince Larg and Marquis Elmdor of Limberry their visit regarding the Hokuten Knights all over Ivalice. A Hokuten Knight addresses them about barbarians in Gallione and about the cadets assignment to guard Igros Castle. A female Knight rushes in and then you're assigned to destroy thieves going through town.
Battle[edit]
I recommend picking the females with the two highest Faiths, the male with the highest Brave and a Chemist for your party.
Put two squires (one male, one female) in the front two tiles
Put the chemist in the center tile, with the female unit to his right, and Ramza to her right.
Send the two squires in the front up the building in front of them to kill the squire on the roof.
Have Ramza attack the squire who hits Delita. Delita should finish off the squire that attacked him, and your two squires on the roof should be able to remove the one up there. Have your chemist heal those who are hurt the most and it shouldn't be a tough battle.
Leveling up possibility: It is possible to very easily level your characters up in this battle. Here's how:
When the battle is close to finished, ensure that the enemy chemist is not attacked. If Delita attacks him, kill Delita (free exp and he doesn't die off!). As long as you don't have any dead units counting down until they vanish, then simply follow the chemist around the map until you trap him in some kind of box (one player on each side would be best. And just continue to attack him. He'll heal himself eternally. You could use this mildly tedious process to make the next few battles very easy.
After the battle Gariland Magic City acts as a city with a shop, bar, and soldier's office. Be sure to check out the shop before going ahead.
Aftermath[edit]
After the battle go into the formation menu and find the two Female Units with the best faith (I'll refer to them as Charmaine and Scarlet from now on) and the male with the best brave (I'll call him Pado).
- Unequip everything from the other generic units then order them by hp.
- Turn Scarlet and Charmaine into Chemists and have Ramza, Delita and Mark be Squires.
- If Ramza has enough JP to learn Gained JP Up then have him do so. Equip it as a Support.
- Give your three male units Item as a secondary and give the females Basic Skill secondary.
- Make sure one of the Chemists has Phoenix Down learned, if neither do then have Ramza learn it, if one does and Ramza has enough for it after potion, then have him learn it too.
- Make sure all 5 of your party has Potion learned if possible.
- Buy about 15 Potions at the shop
- Give all your Squires a Board Sword.
- Give Charmaine the Mythril Knife.
- Unequip the Battle Boots from Ramza and give them to Charmaine.
- Attempt to move to Mandalia Plains to start a story sequence.
In the sequence, Balbanes (Ramza's father) is dying, and Zalbag and Lord Dycedarg assure him that the war is about to end. Balbanes is relieved but Alma doesn't take it as well. Ramza comes in to talk to his father before he ultimately dies.
- Go to Mandalia Plains to start the next battle.
