65 FINAL FANTASY - ENCOUNTERING THE DEATH MACHINE

Dear Readers,

With pretty much everything else in the game done, I thought we'd go fill the bestiary. We started by looking for the Death Machine, a rare encounter in the corridor leading to the Wind Crystal where we fought Tiamat.

I had to consult a walkthrough for this one. There's almost no way we could've encountered the Death Machine on a casual trek. We spent the best part of an hour and a half across three play sessions looking for it in the Wind Crystal room.

We encountered many other enemies over and over again and just ran away from them, because at level 99, experience points no longer do anything for us. The Wind Elementals were annoying because they wouldn't run away and almost always got a turn in first before we could run. For the rest of them, the L and R buttons are a great shortcut for running away!

When we finally encountered the Death Machine, it wasn't too difficult to beat at our maxed out levels. The walkthrough lists it as an optional boss, but the regular battle music played. In any case, it's now in the bestiary! Woo!
