Navigate Part 61 of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, including magic switch puzzles and defeating enemies like Gargoyles and Wraiths.
Walkthrough
- 1Place the chalice on one of the two circular switches.
- 2Ensure you have full health.
- 3Run into the miasma (a hazardous area) to step on the second switch.
- 4Wait until both switches glow red; the laser blocking your path will disappear.
- 5Proceed through the now-open path.
- 6Grab the item from the first treasure chest.
- 7Defeat the Mimic found in the second treasure chest.
- 8Ignore the stairs to the left, as they only lead to a Nightmare and a Skeleton, unless you want their items.
- 9Head west and then south, following the path.
- 10Defeat the Gargoyle that appears.
- 11Head north into the next area.
- 12You will encounter Magic Switches. To open the locked doors around them, hit the switch with a specific type of magicite (a magical item) and then run forward and slash it with your weapon.
- 13Red switches require Fire magicite, blue switches require Blizzard magicite, purple switches require Thunder magicite, and clear switches allow any type of magicite.
- 14The first switch you see is blue. Before activating it, run left to find a treasure chest.
- 15Kill the Gargoyle to the left of the blue switch.
- 16Go through the door you just opened and defeat the enemy inside.
- 17Cast Fire magicite on the blue switch and then slash it with your weapon to open the next door.
- 18In the subsequent area, defeat the Wraith, Skeleton, and Cerberus.
- 19Open the chest in this area.
- 20Assess how many other players are with you. If playing with two, three, or four players, the next puzzle is easier.
- 21The door ahead is blocked by a Blizzard and Fire switch that must be hit simultaneously. You then need to run forward and slash both quickly.
- 22Drop the chalice so both switches are within its protective force field, positioning it closer to the fire switch.
- 23Locate a Gargoyle on the other side of the area. Position yourself so it can hit you.
- 24Allow the Gargoyle to hit you until Mog (an NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you)) says, "Hang in there, kupo!" This indicates he is about to cast a spell.
- 25Move between the two switches.
- 26Switch to Fire or Blizzard magicite. If you have Fire, target the Blizzard switch. If you have Blizzard, target the Fire switch. Do not release the spell power yet.
- 27Mog will charge up a spell and place it over your cursor. Wait for Mog to cast his spell.
- 28If Mog casts Fire or Blizzard on the correct switch, quickly move your cursor to the opposite switch and cast your spell.
- 29Switch to your regular weapon and rush to the first switch, slashing it, then do the same to the second switch. The barrier should disappear.
- 30Heal yourself, defeat the Gargoyle, and proceed past the barrier.
- 31Defeat all enemies in the new area and open the chest.
- 32You will find a laser with a switch on the other side. Cast any type of magicite on this switch to lower the barrier.
- 33Head through and defeat the Gargoyle and Skeleton.
- 34Proceed to find a Wraith and four treasure chests.
- 35Three of the chests are Mimics. Defeat them all.
- 36Open the final chest to find a scroll for either Diamond Armor, Holy Armor, Holy Shield, Pure Armor, or a Pure Belt.
- 37Return to the area with Hell's Puzzle.
- 38To the left, you'll find a Thunder switch. Use Thunder magicite to open the door.
- 39Defeat the Cerberus, but do NOT defeat the Skeleton Mage. If you accidentally defeat it, exit and re-enter the area (not the dungeon) for it to reappear.
- 40Stand on the Thunder switch and let the Skeleton Mage strike you with a thunder spell. Taking thunder damage while on the switch will open the door.
- 41Go north, east, and south, then up the stairs to find four more switches and another Skeleton Mage.
- 42This Mage can cast all three types of magic. Take damage from all spells while standing on the switches. When you have taken sufficient damage for each switch, the door will open.
- 43You will see a treasure chest in a closed-off area. Go through a hole in the north part of this area to grab the item in the chest.
- 44Head out and go south to find two magic switches.
- 45Take Fire damage on the right switch and Blizzard damage on the left switch to open the door.
- 46Do NOT go through the door you just opened. Instead, head north through the door opened by the four switches.
- 47Defeat the two skeletons.
- 48You will find an area with two switches. Step on the switch on your left; this will lower a wall.
- 49Get on the lowered wall and step on the right switch; the wall will rise.
- 50Step on the right switch on the next section of the wall to lower another section.
- 51On this new section, drop the Chalice and place it on the right switch.
- 52Quickly return to the previous section of the wall and step on the right switch.
- 53Immediately step on the left switch on the first section of the wall.
- 54When on the ground, head around to the right and get on the section of the wall before it rises again.
- 55Once you are on the rising wall, ensure you are fully healed.
- 56Head out into the miasma to find a key.
- 57Push the key into the designated area.
Tips
- If playing solo, the simultaneous switch puzzle requires careful timing with Mog's spells.
- Always ensure you are healed before attempting difficult puzzles or entering hazardous areas like the miasma.
- The Skeleton Mage puzzle requires you to take damage from its spells, so be prepared to heal afterward.
- Pay close attention to the color of the magic switches and the required magicite type.
- Remember that exiting and re-entering an area can cause certain enemies to respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death).
