Complete Dimension's Cauldron (Part 2) in bravely second, including bosses Salamander, Ladon, and Shinryu.
Walkthrough
- 1From the south-east corner of 3F, head north. About two-thirds up the passageway, continue north and then west to the far corner to find a chest containing a Gandiva and a trap.
- 2Defeat the boss, Salamander (Level 80, 200,000 HP), which is weak to Water and Dragon. It uses Scorching Eye and Fiery Breath. Elemental Barrier and a trio of ghosts are effective strategies.
- 3Return to the westward path you ignored earlier and head south towards the south-most end of 3F. Open the chest here for a Soul of Thamasa.
- 4Head west, then north at the next junction. Continue north at the subsequent junction to find the stairs to the next area.
- 5Before proceeding, head east along the side path while keeping to the south. Open the chest at the end for a Dragvandil, but beware of a trap.
- 6Defeat the boss, Ladon (Level 80, 200,000 HP), which is weak to Wind and Dragon. It uses Earth Eye and Megaton Press, which can cause Paralyse. Group-cast Elemental Barrier, have a tank absorb attacks, or use magic while accounting for its high Magic Defence. Equip items to negate Paralyse.
- 7In 2F West, from the north-east corner, head west briefly. Follow the passage below all the way south, keeping to the east, to retrieve a Crystal Vest from a chest.
- 8Return north, then travel west, ignoring the southward path. At the crossroad, go south to find a chest with a Megalixir.
- 9Head east from the crossroad to the south part of the floor. Go north at the junction to find a chest with a Bloody Shield.
- 10Head west from the crossroad to the south-west corner, where the stairs to the final area are.
- 11In 1F West, follow the path west. Continue to the far west where the final chest lies.
- 12Open the chest to find an Ama-no-Sakahoko and battle the boss, Shinryu (Level 80, 200,000 HP), which is weak to Dark and Dragon. It uses Celestial Eye and Holy Breath, which inflicts Blind. Elemental Barrier is recommended.
Tips
- For Salamander, using Elemental Barrier and a trio of ghosts can help steamroll the dragon.
- When fighting Ladon, ensure characters not acting as tanks have protection against Paralyse and consider strategies to overcome its high Magic Defence if using magic.
- The Bloody Shield found in 2F West is excellent for a tank if you did not steal two from Geist earlier.
- Elemental Barrier is useful against Shinryu's Holy Breath.
