Question:In the Tower of Fanatics. Can you actually defeat the Magic Urn(s) with an attack or do they always "escape" from battle. You still get 5 magic points when they run away and all elemental magic heals, i havent tried holy yet, z-zone does not appear to work either. I ask becuase i want to get them for Gau on the Veldt. Thanks. They are great for casting Osmose on to restore your MP too. Also when you cast scan on them the are not weakagainst anything. Magic Urns are our friends I know.

Well theres always Flare Ultima, and Meteor that are non-elemental magic. It should be all good with that, or you could take Umaro u with you and he attacks normally. So thats what I did, but I also went to the cactuar desert and gained 10 mp for beating them and gained magic quickly.

Yes thankyou Blackmage Tesco. I dont have Flare, Meteor or Ultima yet and my current party is Strago, Relm, Celes and Terra but its all good, Ill bring Umaro up later and learn a few more powerful spells. I think you might still be able to find them on the Veldt even if they run away. Too bad tou cant use Celes' runic ability though huh?

no prob, but you should be at least mid 40s or high 30s with re-raise if u intend to climb all of it, or you can take the always easy way up the tower. With mog and the moogle charm. Prevents all random encounters

I tried to beat the Magic Urns for my bestiary on FFVIa, and I couldn't do it. I used Ultima or something like that, did 9999 damage, and they ran. As far as I know, they can't be beat.

Auto-life, or fight him using rasp (He dies when his MP runs out, so he is effectively killing himself)

Auto-life brings ya back after being killed by ultima, and rasping prevents is usage anyway

Ive never heard the rasp thing before. I know drain is for HP and Osmose is for MP. I never really figured out what rasp was. I assumed it was just another magic attack that causes HP damage.

Rasp and Osmose drain MP

Magic based enemies, like the Atma's and Magimaster and such, die when they run out of MP

Rasp and Osmose drain MP

Actually Osmose drains MP, while Rasp destroys it. If you use Osmose with a character with full MP, nothing will happen. Therefore use Rasp on Magimaster, his MP will disappear slowly, very slowly, but surely, and use Osmose when you run out of MP necessary for casting Rasp.

The sasquatch guy you get in Narshe in the World of Ruin after getting Mog. An optional character which cannot be controlled, but deals great physical damage. The only character able to use physical attacks in the fanatics' tower.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one...

I defeated them by using either Quick and then two Ultimas in a row or With the help of "Soul of Thasma" I used quick and four Ultimas

it is not that hard to go back up their just take mog and equip him with the moggle charm that way there is no random battles

i want to try to get all the rages and also im trying to uncurse the paladin shield and i swear the battles on the fanatic tower dont count because you dont get any exp but its worth it for the magic points. in response to Zombie Palam, in essence what i think you said was rasp is more or less a poison spell for magic points. Man i swear i fought at least 50 battles on the tower and then I went to dinosaur forest and killed dinos for like 3 hours and before that I had the shield in the Ancient Castle and it still isnt uncursed. I finally got tired and gave up. I think the fanatic tower is like the Veldt, no exp, no rank with the cursed shield. i wonder if boss fights are also included in this? thanks for the advice Cloud but thats the woosie way with the moogle charm. i dont even use sprint shoes because i always run in to stuff or accidentall go the wrong way(except on the way down) Hey Tesco, who is soul of Thamasa. A person or a GBA addition?

its the item you get after reaching the top and opening the chest. Its a relic that allows you to, like in ff5 when you mastered Red mage, Dual cast your spells (except espers) very useful.

Yes I realise that, I'm just suggestion him since he can attack as normal during fanatics tower

Oh you mean the Gem Box, it must have a different name in FF6advance

Sabin lvl 99!!!

i defeated doomgaze on the first encounter :D

i hurt cactuar on 9999 hp

Conclusion about Magic Pots and Gau

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

they still appear on the Veldt even if they completely escape from battle, i guess that's why you get magic points

Thanks for your help

im trying to get a few more exp.eggs in the colosseum and want to start from the elixer. this is said to be obtained by stealing from the magic urns. . .Steal from them you say. . in a tower that only allows magic to be used, how is this acomplished? unless someone else has a better way for earning multiple marvel shoes and like 4 exp.eggs.

hope this isn't to old of a post to be replying to. i just seen there was one started already and i didnt want to re-hash it with a new post.
