21 FINAL FANTASY - NAVIGATING GULG VOLCANO

Dear Readers,

We explored more of Gulg Volcano. We met nastier versions of Cockatrices called Pyrolisks. Instead of turning us to stone with their gaze they would straight up kill us with a look. It happened to Rocket and Nova a few times. Good thing Joseph had the Life spell. Thank you, healer!

Sometimes we had to retrace back to Crescent Lake to rest and met some Ochus and Neochus, which were pretty freaky looking river monsters with lots of HP.

Continuing on through the floor from last time, there was another corridor-like floor before going down another set of stairs. This floor was nearly all lava but had a few islands with pillars for a bit of relief. At least, they seemed like pillars in my imagination! Had to go up some stairs here.

The enemies had lots of multi-target fire attacks, which looked pretty dangerous, but we were able to handle things well enough.

After this floor was a floor that was slightly labyrinthine. After this floor then was a branching corridor with lots of treasure rooms. Most of the equipment we found could only be used by Nova. The Ice Brand is a pretty cool(hee hee) weapon to find and have down here!

The next and final floor of Gulg Volcano looked pretty sweet. The stairs are in the centre of an asterisk shaped network of corridors. Most of the paths led to dead ends but a couple had treasures, one of which is guarded. The Flame Mail prize is yet another piece of equipment only Nova can equip!

The boss Marilith was to the south-west. I saved the game here in front of her. Showdown next time!
