No, I maybe could've taken on liquidFlame at that level, but in my solo Hunter with a dagger from back row level 27, I didn't miss the hand (Well that might have been because I was using aim) I don't think you're doomed, people have done SCC MKnights before, you may just have to level up.

Edit

leveling up again to beat atamos, good news is I can almost deal 4000 damage with a shuriken, which would mean only five rounds, but any HP below 3,000 Atamos can kill off with comet. so i'll probably be dealing 4000 damage by the time I get 3000 HP, Ninja SSCC has been easier I'll probably be below level 60 when I beat atamos

Edit

After Reading through the whole thread I think bonemail may be the answer to my problems in Hunter SSCC, in a little bit I'm going to go back and see if i can get the Thief knife, Would help out bonemail+Thornlet.

Edit

Well I'm done for the day, got the thief knife, tried 5 times didn't get bonemail, so I leveled up to 51 on my solo ninja, now I'm going to sleep.

I'll try to equip a lighter armor.

If you think that's hard, i'd advise not doing an SSCC with them. That's what i'm doing, and I had trouble there too. Make sure your characters aren't blinded. If they are, go back to the save point and use a tent. I must have been level 25 or so when i took him on. It took quite a few attempts, but heres the tactic:
With the tornado and human form, use Ice2 sword.
With the Hand form, use healing items and use Mute/Poison/anything that isn't elemental sword. If it's not elemental, it won't miss, but it doesn't do a great deal of damage. At least it gives you time to heal.

Also make sure to get doom axes during World 1, If you don't you will not be able to beat Gilgamesh with solo Galuf.

Edit

Update: Leveled up to 60, I do 4000 damage with shurikens, should be able to defeat Atamos in 5 rounds.

Edit

Crushed Atamos with my Ninja, Told you i'd make him pay.
Faris the ninja owned atamos, she didn't even need to use an elixer

I'm loving this ninja SSCC, Ninjas kick ass.

Edit

This is wierd I didn't battle Gilgamesh, I just went straight to X-death. is that a glitch or what? Makes me wonder what's going to happen in the N-zone.

Edit

I love the Chicken knife, deals 2,600 damage from the back row.

Edit

Since this SSCC has been easier I'll be more of a completist;
on my list is
Magic Lamp
defeat Odin
defeat Bahamut
defeat Leviathan
All legendary weapons
Fork Tower
Beat Gogo
The only SSCC that I think can be Omega and Shinryuu would be Dragoon, which is why I've selected to do that next.

Edit

Gotten 3 out of 4 tablets, have meteo, flare, holy, beat Gogo, The piglet trio was a little annoying, forgot you had to kill them all at the same time, all it took was a bunch of thunder scrolls

Edit

Here's how the battle with Leviathan went down;

Bring it on Levi

Kickin' it ninja style, taste some shurikens

Who's your daddy!

Edit

Odin, Bahamut, and Magic Lamp left

Edit

magic lamp


Welcome to a World of Hurt Bahamut.



I have Enslaved Bahamut

Edit

What I'm loving the most about Ninja SSCC every boss has taken one try to beat.

Whats the Magic Lamp Quest?

It's a nifty little Item placed on top of Easterly Falls, barely noticed becase not many people come across it. First time I got it, I tried to get into the cave on an alternate method, what I found was the magic lamp.

Edit

Odin is all that's left on my list

Edit

By the way, Do you have any updates on your SSCC Runelancer?

Chemist can destroy them. It's quite possibly the most powerful class in the game.

If you don't open the chest with the Exailibur/Excalipoor, I think Gilgy doesn't appear in the N-Zone. (Because ExDeath didn't banish him there.) I could be wrong.

Well, i lost my FFV Mystic Knight SSCC, because i found that Prototype. As instinct, I save state at the start of every battle.
1) It was a back attack
2) It was against Prototype
3) He has a one-hit-kill attack. How do you protect against that?

Edit

Started a Summoner SCC, may do a SSCC when i finish.

SSCC Chemist sounds interesting I'll add that to my list of classes to do.

Currently I'm frustrated, I'm trying to get to Odin, I thought you were supposed to climb the furthest back wall, but that doesn't happen, and the door in the cave is sealed shut. I really wanted to beat Odin, I'll start the N-Zone.

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Even at level 9, both bosses have been hard so far. I am at the Ship Graveyard, and i do not like the look of Siren at this point.

Edit

Decided to master Summoner at the beginning of Ship Graveyard.
I now have the !Conjure command, higher level (18) and mass of Elixirs (CrystlSlugs drop them).
Siren was easy, as was Magissa. Got to Walz, FINALLY got some espers, and then went to Shiva. Took out her with a couple of Sylphs, and then finished off the guards with a well timed Fat Chocobo.

Edit

Galura? Finished him off with four Shiva's and a Sylph.

Edit

LiquidFlame took a couple of tries to beat, but the interesting thing was escaping. Stocked up lots of Elixirs, and got the Guardian, a very nice dagger. Now for Ifrit and Byblos

Got to the invisible walkway section of the N-Zone, going to stay here for a while the ninja enemies drop magi-shurikens, I only have 18 in stock. Need at least 50 want 99.

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

I decided I'd try a solo-bare challenge, for the fun of it. I have no clue how far I'll get, as I'm definitely not as experienced as all of you in FFV. However...does anyone know how to make snapshots in Snes9x?

look on your keyboard there is a "print Screen" key after you press it your whole screen gets copied, then paste it into word, paint, whatever. Easiest way to take screenshots.

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Oh, jeez, why didn't I think of that...thanks for reminding me.

Does anyone have any advice on that Karlabos thing in the Canal? It just paralyzes me and I don't have the chance to do anything. >_>. Do I just need to level up more? There are some Bandersnatches on the land outside the canal, but I'm not strong enough (Level 12) to be dealing with them yet.) Actually, I've noticed how there's alot of 'out-of-place' monsters in the world map.

Simple leveling up and potion use. In an SSCC KarlBoss will be annoying because he'll paralyze and us corkscrew, I normally level up to 15 to take him out, always use a potion first chance you can get after corkscrew, when you're level 15 he can't do much damage to yuo, so corkscrew becomes your biggest worry. It's generally in the timing of yuor potions.

Update, I love the invisible platform area the dragons drop dragonfangs frequently and they sell for a good price 2500 a pop, they'll help me buy magi-shurikens as well

*Cha*Ching* $$$

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Yay!!1. Well, that wasn't very pleasant. xD I got lucky and blocked alot of attacks with my high-tech leather shield. And he used Tailscrew twice as I was paralyzed. How nice of him.

I still don't really understand how to paste it in Paint, because it didn't fill up the whole screen, but oh well. Still, this challenge is pretty fun!

Beat up all the bosses coming into the Cleft of Dimension.



Ninja Ownage every Battle


I'm hoping to See Gilgy against Necrrophobia, but I doubt it.

This is what happens when there is no Gilgamesh to show up.
I'm going to start my Black Mage

Apparently birds don't like bolts.



Easiest battle against Karl Boss I've ever had lvl 8


Burn siren BURN!

Why aren't you going to fight X-Death? Didn't you get the BoneMail from the Dragon Mountain? (I don't remember what world it's in.)

Edit: Holy ****. I have like 40,000 Gil. -__-; Thank goodness for that nice little speed-up button...and now I can buy better equipment, I'm so happy!! =3

Edit: Did away with that couple on the mountain. And have a nice whip! =3 (Well...we're going to get the katana next anyway, so...)

BoneMail from the Dragon Mountain?

I thought the only way was to steal from necromancers.
Which I have been unsuccessful, each battle I just get revivify. In both Ninja and Hunter. Which gets boring after awhile so I start a new SSCC.

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

On whatever mountain where you can get Golem, there's a pile of bones. If you check them, you'll get a BoneMail. (But I don't remember what area exactly, or if it's in the third world.)

Edit: And I beat Galura...who was painfully easy with our new katana.

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i166/Zer...nedgalura-1.jpg

Edit: Hm...any advice on that LiquiFlame? I can do alot of damage to him, but his attacks also wear me down too much to heal effectively. (Can't buy Hi-Potions yet...) I'd use Elixirs, but I already used one for the Siren...

Dont be scared to use elixers because when the castle

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

explodes

You can open most of the chests to find a monster-in-a-box which when defeated mostly drop elixers or a good item.
I'm going to continue on my mystic knight challenge, i'm going to lvl up to around 25 before going to the ancient library. (i can't beat Shiva! Well at my current lvl, any tips, im doing a Mystic Knight Challenge if that changes Nething besides Fire2)

Edit

Bad idea lvling up to lvl 25, the blue faced pages used lvl. 5 doom lol. I lvled to 26 and decided to call it quits untill tommorow. Man there really is alot of things to watch out for in a SSCC.

Yes like the Bonemail in Hyruu mountain and the thornlet in the pyramid. ( I feel so stupid i sold it somewhere along the lines). I'll need to figure something out.

Yes I am thanking Zeromus, Oddly i ended up saving over the black mage as a force fo habit. Guess I'll start Dragoon.

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Well, beat Liquiflame. Heh, he ran out of MP. xD I got lucky and go a few criticals with the Katana (~600 damage a critical), so he went down pretty fast.

Now to raid the castle...

That would be one of the perks to being a bare.

I just beat wingraptor, pretty easily. Really can't wait to get the first lance.
Going to take a break for the rest of the day.

Edit

well got to Karnak. So much for the rest of the day.
All bosses have been easy, Dragoons rule.



DragonSword is awsome.

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Has anyone finished the White Mage challenge for FF5? I've done it for FF1 and FFT, but I haven't tried it for FF5. (In FFT, I spent some time leveling in random battles so that I could supplement my Priests with abilities from other jobs.)

Are you allowed to spend time leveling Jobs in random battles that are not on the way to where you're going? If not, then I would assume that in FF5, the single class challenge precludes the use of abilities from other classes. (In FF5, it is impossible to learn those abilities without spending some time in those classes.)

Also, does playing as the bare class (no job) count as a single class challenge? That would be challenging if you were not allowed to spend any time learning support abilities. (The normal job, by default, incorporates the support abilities of all jobs mastered.)

--------------------

The world before the fall...
Delightful is the light of dawn...
Noble is the heart of man...

I haven't been changing to other jobs, no.

Edit: Any tips on Byblos? I can take him down eventually, but he keeps halving my levels so I do craptastic damage.

Always hated having my level halved. Besides leveling up, you could try to make your weight lighter

16 weight is pretty slow. equip some lighter armor, and shield, at least try to get below 8. Keep the ribbon and elf cape on. Take off the shield if neccessary.
