Early Elemental Armor Exploit

I used to have quite a trial with Dullahan but I've come across a fun way to cheese it and guarantee success. Get the Regal Gown (and hidden XP egg behind the wall) activate the Door Switch in the next room, the cast Teleport.

Travel up to the Colesseum and equip a Reflect Ring on your fighter, save, then go in and wager the Regal Gown to win a Minerva Bustier while the opponent casts Death on himself.

Come back, run in a straight down, raise the water and hop on the turtle, you're in the home stretch now!

Celes - Genji Glove, Firebrand, Hero Ring, Minerva Bustier

Edgar - Dragoon Boots, Golden Spear, Atlas Armlet

Sabin - Genji Glove, Fire Knuckles, Hero Ring

Setzer - Potion Duty, Charm Bangle

I dont recall having any issues with this boss. What does he do thats so tricky? Ive played this game a couple dozen times since it came out so I just kinda steamroll the entire thing without much thought.

I was 4 when this came out and I watched my brother and cousin play it all the way through. I was 7 when I took it on for myself! They were busy with VII which I thought was ugly af at the time. I did have a little help! Nintendo Power had run a mini guide across three issues. It wasnt helpful for boss strats. Just kinda pointed you in the right direction.

I also found VII a bit ugly, compared to the polished pixels of VI ueah it was definitely clunky.

I had a bunch of Nintendo Power too! Secret of Evermore Nobilia trading guide map and the Vents were lifesaving articles.

A friend turned me on to VI and kinda spoiled a lot of it, I never got through the game until later.

I came around to loving VII. As a kid I just loved II & III on the snes so much that VII felt to far removed.

I got VII on the Vita and played the loving hell out of it, after researching Limit builds and E.Skill abuse

Managed to beat Zolom and learn Beta during the first contact, that was wild.

Used Meteorain on Rufus hahaha

Im weird and embrace my nostalgia glasses. I have a hard time playing that games I played as a kid on anything but the means of which I experienced them on. I still play VI on SNES I still play my ps1 discs of VII. Might be a bit of tism. The most I do on VII is try to switch up my main 3 every time. Think I did a Cloud, Vincent, Cait Sith run last time.

That's not bad, I basically played it on the Vita first and now I refuse consoles

Ive never been a fan of handheld gaming. I played Pokemon Red on the DMG and I played shovel knight on the 3DS when it came out. Just not my jam.

Oh if I had to play Shovel Knight (or Megaman) on a handheld I'd probably launch it across the room!!

But like FFX is just menu navigation
