Setzer-Edgar-Celes Challenge

Okay, I had time on my hands, and now I trained these three characters to level 90, and 91. Theoretically you can already go to Kefka’s Tower when you have these three characters (due to Celes’ travel, and the new airship). Of course that’s just theoretically speaking, ’cause you’re most likely to weak to go into there right away. :p

But, after doing all the sidequests in the World of Ruin, and training the three first characters you get in this world, can it be done practically, besides theoretically: beating all monsters and bosses encountered in this final dungeon with only three characters. :O

I shall try it out, and wish me good luck, ’cause somehow I got a great feeling about this.

Comments, anyone? ^^

wish me good luck,

GOOD LUCK TRENT!

I know you can do it — I’ve done it myself as part of exploration to check out the games various endings. Good luck!

Well, let’s see how far I’ve gotten:

By now Setzer, Edgar and Celes are all level 99. Practically invincible, but still, the only harsh encounters are: quick instant death spells. -_- And forgotten to cast Life3 in time.

Right now I’ve already saved at the save point that appears after beating Atma with Edgar (and oh boy, that was mighty easy =D ).
But right after I saved, I encountered one of those Retainer samurai enemies, and when you kill them, they do one last spell: TradeOff. -_- Which is that instant death spell. Meh. Just something for a new reminder. :p

For the rest, Celes was just in time for beating Scullions, ’cause they cast doom, and it was like, three times an attack of 10.000 damage, right in time before she was about to die. o.o””
But so far so good. :smrt:

Update:

Continueing through Kefka’s Tower, most bosses are really easy. The Dragons left to kill were done in a hurry. Oh, hurray, got Crusader, even though I’m not gonna use him. :p

Then coming to the big bossas:

Celes vs. Guardian: The fight took longer than expected, which made it feel challenging. ^-^

Setzer vs. Doom: Just going mad with Ultima.

(crappy pictures, but meh, I felt like taking them 😛 )

Edgar vs. Goddess: Realized that some of the Tools do 9999 damage. ^-^

Now, Celes vs. Poltergeist: that s.o.b. casted Stop and then some sort of ball damage that does instant death. -_- :p meh.

But, it advances surprisingly well. I can’t wait to (well, kick Poltergeist’s ass) go further on to the ‘tier tree’, or whatever it was actually called. =)

By now Setzer, Edgar and Celes are all level 99. Practically invincible, but still, the only harsh encounters are: quick instant death spells. -_- And forgotten to cast Life3 in time.
Okay, wait a second, if you have Life3, that means you have Phoenix, which means you have Locke. So I guess even though you’re only playing with Setzer, Edgar and Celes, you have in fact acquired Locke and perhaps one more of the other characters? Or maybe I’m mistaken — after all, Celes is capable of learning spells simply by leveling up — so maybe that’s how you did it?

BTW, I must not have been thinking clearly last night — I’ve never actually beaten the game with just those three characters. Sorry.

Anyway, cool screenschots.

Well, I must inform, Agent: The only characters I did obtain in the World of Ruin were Celes, Setzer, Edgar, and Locke. -__- I just wanted four people, and, although after going to Narshe (and having Phoenix and Ultima :p I know..), I never used Locke after going to Narshe. So yeah, it’s not the real challenge that I’ve done now, with the high-leveling to the max. I did in Dinosaur Forest and all. >.>

Well, to continue:

Poltergeist, now updating MBlock, was mighty easy, as well as the tiers and Kefka himself was no challenge at all.

😀

This time it was just to see if Kefka’s Tower is really that easy if you’re leveled to the max. And yes it is. ^^;;; I had fun, though!

The real challenge is still waiting for me >.>…using this guide: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/file/final_fantasy_iii_ces.txt

GameFAQs doesn’t allow direct-linking of their guides — here’s GameFAQs FF6 guides page — http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/game/562865.html

Kefka — yeah, not too much of a challenge really. He’s a cool challenge, but not the toughest boss.

Anyway, I looked at the guide — pretty cool and thorough. Nice guide.

The last save I kept before the World of Ruin isn’t at Floating Island, though, it’s at the Escape from Vector sequence. =/ :p Ahwell, gives me time to learn all the magic possible to C.E.S. in the World of Balance.

Is that another max-levelling CES? :smrt:

Nono, this will be a decent challenge, CyanCyde. sexpot Like it said in the convenient guide:

Harsh challenge: Lv. 20 – 30

The CES challenge: Lv. 30 – 40

Right now I’m about to confront Atma Weapon on the Floating Island, and my characters are:

(Already bringing along the three)

Setzer: Lv. 26
Celes: Lv. 26
Edgar: Lv. 27
and Shadow

Haven’t learned all possible magic for the three characters in the World of Balance, though. :p Just to keep the Levels at a low number. ;o

Nono, this will be a decent challenge, CyanCyde. Like it said in the convenient guide:

Just a fun little poke. 😀 I’d probably wind up with a stupidly-high level CES, myself.

This is a question 2 agent wat do you think is the hardest boss of all of the game?

I don’t answer random off-topic questions.

Yikes. Level 90? You’re pretty much a tank now then aren’t you? o_O
Unless you were leveling up with random espers that didn’t grant the right powerleveling bonuses.

Well I’m routing for you. I never got that high in levels whenever I play through 6 though, but then again, I’ve never tried to beat it with only 3 people :S

I got level 99s for my import game, and then made sure they died so the experence then went back to Vicks, Wedge and Terra in Narshe.

It took almost a week, (Non-stop of course)

But I did the challange too, the problem for me are the Ninja and Samurai in Kefka’s Tower, their parting shots are almost always instant death, I don’t like that.

Man! That’s crazy n00b shit! The only one who’d benefit from the xp would be Terra. And then she’d be majorly weakened in the long run. (I.E. No magicite equips.)

I’ve done it although what sucked is first time up Kefka’s tower I encountered a retainer with Setzer and I killed it so as it died it killed Setzer nd right there it was game over. What I did to beat the game is I had Celes using Genji Glove/Offering with atma Weapon/Ragnarok.
