Status + Notes:

Told you we'd be making a lot of progress today. So here's what happened. First, I did Zeromus right, and timed my healing better... and used a Spider's Silk... most op damn item ever... and they're still in After Years... anywho... then I beat it again with my melee team to open up all the trials. And of course something weird happened. Let me explain. Zeromus is a very odd fight. Zeromus has an attack he uses at low HP which appears to do nothing. What he actually does is change to a different attack pattern and heals himself to full. This basically doubles his ~60,000 HP I think to about ~120,000, and makes the fight decently long. However, for whatever reason, sometimes, he won't use it! So, sometimes you'll fight Zeromus and you'll be doing fine, and WAY quicker than you thought he'll die. Ah well, what can you do.

So, now on to the post game... first stop, Lunar Subterrane B5 to do some rare grinding!!! That's right, use a Siren in a seemingly empty room save for a treasure chest with a Red Fang(yawn) will bring you to a battle with 5 Flan Princesses. They like to cast berserk, and do nothing but cast that and a normal attack... So, I tend to put the game on auto, go get a drink and come back about 90 seconds later, to get the victory music, click through a couple of screens and basically get 222k gold, and pretty much nothing else.... WAIT! You do have a tiny chance of getting a pink tail. If you get that, bring it back to the Adamant Grotto and get the Adamant Armor, the best armor in the game. It really kind of makes the game ridiculously easy. Anyone can equip it, its defense power is ridiculous and gives +10 to all stats... I got one for Cecil because I can... though honestly I'm tempted to get one for Rydia, because there's no good armor for her... and maybe Rosa because I hate the Minerva Bustier and I like being able to give her a bow... We'll see.

So, on to the Lunar Ruins... each character has a trial, then you fight against a Lunar Eidolon, which are good fights. Some have some strategy... haven't gotten up to the REAL strategic fight yet... but whatever. Its pretty good. You kill Lunar Eidolons and get a special Arm equip item which upgrades an ability...

Yang -> Converts Focus to Deadly which gives 3x attack power. Its awesome
Edward -> Converts Bardsong to Chant which gives Mighty Guard to everyone... awesome
Rydia -> Upgrades Summon power... kind of sucks because cast time on summons stinks. Want to cast flare... sigh
Cecil -> Lightbringer sword... a sword that sometimes casts Holy... bascially means 1/2 the time your basic attack does over 10k damage... BERSERK ME PLZ!
Rosa -> Converts Prayer to Miracle... grants 100% success rate and sometimes casts Esunaga... not too bad
Edge -> Converts Steal to Mug... hey why not

I'll go over the other ones after I finish them in this run through....

So, now what? Well, I like to run Rosa's Trial a few times... why? Well each run through and you can get 50-60 Perseus Arrows... and as I said before I like giving her a bow. After that... maybe I'll get a couple more Pink Tails maybe not... and the last few Trials.

Then onto The Interlude... but wait. Yes, I did say I was going to do a 100% Bestiary run... and I'm going to admit here that I screwed up. Missed 2 entries... Calca and Doctor. I may very well start a new file and play through to get these last couple entries on the side. We'll see... if I do, I'll certainly note that in my updates.
