Avatar Battles & Rank 5 Part Two Conclusion

sat040618131424a.jpg

After becomming Rank 4, I decided that I would just accept Mission 10 and do it when I got stronger. This Mission would get me Rank 5 and an Airship Pass, this is much better than the Kazham one, because with this I can travel to all the citites. But it would have to wait a bit.

I had another Avatar to fight! So after spending lots of gil to increase fame and get items I headed off to Bastok to fight Titan.

Oh my! Umm, he is pretty huge. Well Carbuncle "Go for the Kidneys!"

I was able to win thanks to 3 Searing Lights again. Too bad you have to use a level 20 SMN and only Carbuncle for these fights.

I didn't have much time to celebrate because I had to get to Raboa. This desert town had my next Avatar.

Getting there was pretty bad though, since I had no map. And these Ant Beastmen are just scary, I'm afraid of ants in real life in the game it's even worse ;_;

Here I am in the Avatar battle area.

It's a little scary since you have to solo these things. Garuda was a little tricky, but someone in the LS warned me she has Blink which nullifies attacks for a certain time. Thanks to that info I waited for it to wear off, I would have wasted a Searing Light.

Yet, I was able to win. Not only did I win but I set a New Time Record!

For part of M10 you have to go through the Yagudo stronghold Castle Oztroja. This place was really bad, I thought I could do it with Cougar a 38DRG in the LS. Sadly there were Yagudo blocking the doors we had to get into. So I died 3 times and deleveled the person behind me Raised me twice, lol. We made it to the door when a high level PT came by and asked if we needed help. It was amazing we were close to the door anyhow, so group ran with us till a Yagudo appeared at that point two members of that PT would fight it, while the rest ran with us. Then when another Yagudo appeared they did the same thing. It was great.

There were two Yagudo blocking the other door, so I devised this great stratedgy to distract them with my Avatars while we went through the door. It turns out the Yagudo had their backs turned so we just used Invisible to get by. I obtained the Magicite item and watched a sad cut scene. I even started to tear up, but that could be thanks to the sad song I had playing in the background "Dearest" by Ayumi Hamasaki.

I was talking about my horrible luck in Castle Oztroja to the LS and then Tormentormike told me he would help me with the Beadeaux section of the Mission. I had to get items from two NM. When I got there Xylia, Phoe, Efaref, Maxrabbit, and the rest of their group. We formed an alliance and got the items pretty quickly. No thanks to me cause my level was so low I'll I could do was stay at the enterance. It wasn't all that simple for me though some mean person zoned 5 time and I had to run because of the monsters -.-

Thanks to the help of a lot of people I got the items!Thanks everyone!

Getting to the Davoi Magicite was easy, I used Sneak and Invisible and went through the door when the monster's back was turned. I disconnected twice during the cut scene, and when I logged back on Phoe and the gang were there too. I spawned right on top of them. Phoe was nice enough to give me a Teleport to Dem so I could finish the Beadeaux part of the mission.

I was able to get to the Magicite room after I took an accidently turn and got a Curse effect from some machine. Efaref was nice enough to offer his help if I got stuck in the dungeon, but I was able to find my way. Afterwards I was given Rank 5 and the Airship Pass. I also obtained 10k, which I spent and got bumbed down to about 2k.

Here is what I spent my money on. I was so happy to finally beat Ramuh. I had been trying forever to get him and on this 3rd try I was able to get him. All that's left for me to do right now is level a bit, so see ya next time everyone!
