Now I'm having trouble with the creature at the exit of the Temple Of The Ancients (the giant dragon-like creature). I have a few questions... 1. How many hitpoints does this creature start off with? 2. What is the best strategy in beating this creature? Any help would be appreciated.

All I said is -> that in VandalHearts, the guy gets sucked into a blackhole kinda -> thing.. but I said nothing about FFT. Ahhh! Good, that's better. I don't want the storyline to FFT ruined for me. :) As for the ending of Vandal Hearts I thought it was appropriate, and it is a recurring event. The same happened with Chrono in Chrono Trigger during the game, it happened in Phantasy Star and also in the Breath Of Fire series. The Japanese just have a thing about martyring themselves against a superior foe I guess. --- PCBoard (R) v15.22/M 2 * Origin: Kimagure Kafe Houston, Texas (281) 457-1725 (1:106/1725) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 170 VIDEO GAMES Ref: F2T00027 Date: 02/23/98 From: ASHER DENSMORE-LYNN Time: 10:21pm \/To: STEVE IGREJAS (Read 1 times) Subj: Help me!

All I know is, I played it during the flashback -- did you? I played it several times during the course of the game, and it didn't work. Don't know what the required event was, though. Are you -finished- with the required plot -- is the Northern Cave open? Eventually, it did work. I'm not willing to guess what the event trigger is, but the BradyGames guide bearing the words 'Official' and a SquareSoft logo are what I'm looking at, and nowhere does it mention playing three times and goofing the third.
