Before you head for Earth, it may prove valuable to give Rydia her most powerful summon. Head to the control panel and take flight. Head for the octagonal shaped section with a cave in its center. Land on the north segment and head for the cave. A fair warning, enemies in this cave can get pretty nasty. Get your game faces on and be tough. Note that Angel Arrow do extra damage against Giant Warriors, and you can steal Artemis Arrows from Selene Guardians, and even get the Artemis's Bow, Rosa's best weapon, as a rare drop.

Go directly south to find one piece of some good armor for Cecil. Head back up and to the right. Go up to the right hand corner of the next section to find a secret path that leads to another piece of equipment for Cecil. Head back and then down to the right. Find the next door and continue on. Head to the left where you'll see some columns. Head up and you'll find another piece of armor for Cecil in the treasure chest. The chest to the right reveals the final piece of his armor. You now have the complete Genji collection.

As you head up the narrow connection that leads to the next floor, you'll be drawn into a forced battle with a Behemoth. This is labeled as a regular enemy, but he fights just like a boss. He even has the music to go with it. So here's a mini-strategy on the Behemoth. Stay away from strong magic attacks as he counters with an even stronger magic attack. Rydia's summons don't qualify for that, however none of the summons actually do much damage. If you keep Edge and Cecil hacking away, he'll go down. Rosa, Rydia, and FuSoYa's job is to make sure they stay alive. That means dual Curaga from Rosa and FuSoYa , and Asura from Rydia. If you have the time, Rosa can use Slow to slow down the beast, Protect to attempt to knock down the damage he deals you with his massively strong physical attack, or Blink to negate a couple attacks against one of the characters. As soon as he falls, it actually may not be a bad idea to warp out of the cave to recover from that battle.

As you head into the next room, you'll be engaged in another Behemoth battle. If you went out to rest up, then you'll be golden. If you're still beleaguered from the last Behemoth battle, you're in trouble. Stick with the original strategy of Cecil and Edge attacking and the other three curing. The beast will fall eventually. If you're weak after battle, cast Teleport and rest up. Then head back in. Head along the same narrow path. When it looks like you're home free, you run into another staged Behemoth battle. Again, follow the two attack-three cure format and he should go down. After this third and final Behemoth battle, I highly suggest you warp out of the dungeon and recover your health and save the game, because it's going to be one nasty fight next.

Once you make it back, climb the stairs to where he's waiting for you. Once you talk to him, he'll say that he'll pass the final judgment on you. Whether that means he'll be your undoing or if you're truly worthy is all on how you fight.



After the fight, Rydia will be given the ability to summon Bahamut at will. True to his name, Bahamut is the god of summons. He is by far the deadliest summon Rydia can call upon. You're probably pretty spent by now - just warp back to the surface and get going.
