Final Fantasy Tactics Walkthrough

Want this done quickly? Bring along lots of Chemists in this battle and just chuck Phoenix Downs at everything - you ought to be able to afford it now. All of these enemies are undead, so they will all die instantly and save you the trouble of a real battle; but, be careful not to deplete your inventory too much, as the next sequence of battles is usually considered to be the most difficult of the entire game. However, you can restock after this battle before things get rough, too.

If you want to try doing this fight "legitimately," bring along people with Fire or Holy spells, as the undead are weak against them. Remember that it's possible that each of these enemies could come back to life after their death timer expires. If you want to grind some more EXP and JP from this battle, that can be helpful, but it's not really reliable enough to count on and is usually more of an annoyance.

The Black Mages are the most worrisome enemies of a fairly innocuous lot. They will usually have third-level black magic.

Following the battle, Folmarv enters Riovanes Castle with Wiegraf to talk to Barrington, who seeks to ally with the Church's knights.

Barrington knows that Folmarv's group is collecting the Auracites because he's captured Isilud, had two of them on his person. Folmarv slaps Isilud for being so careless, but before Barrington can force the Shrine Knights into any sort of agreement, Folmarv pulls out a Auracite of his own and makes short work of everyone around him, including his own son.

This is a good time to travel and grind a little bit if you haven't been, particularly to make Ramza as powerful as you can. Again, things are about to get pretty nasty, with multiple difficult battles in sequence - it's not the time to be moving characters into new or weaker jobs to diversify.

Particularly, if you are a fan of using Auto-Potion, now is the time to make sure that you have the weaker ones used or sold out of your inventory and stock up on X-Potions instead.
