Part 76

Guide to Part 76 of Final Fantasy Tactics: A2. Learn how to defeat the Rafflesia in a Speed Battle and protect the Yellow Wings in a separate escort mission.

Alright, let's dive into Part 76 of our Final Fantasy Tactics adventure! We've got a couple of interesting missions lined up, so buckle up.

Part 76: Showdown

First up is the 'Showdown' quest. This is a Speed Battle, meaning whoever lands the final blow wins. Your target is a rather… unique-looking plant called a Rafflesia.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Rafflesia HP: Approximately 1200 (initially shows as ???)
• Weakness: Fire magic
• Forbidden Law: Targeting Self (you can't heal yourself!)

Phases:

1. The Battle: You're in Targ Wood, and the objective is a Speed Battle against House Bowen's Rafflesia.

Strategy:

• Keep Your Distance: Seriously, don't get too close! The Rafflesia damages anyone within 2 tiles and can hit you with debuffs.
• Burn it Down: Since it's weak to fire, spam those Fire magicks.
• Hunter's Aid: Hunters can use Sidewinder from afar for extra damage. Aim for about 100 damage per hit with these methods.
• Secure the Kill: Remember, it's a Speed Battle! If you need to, you can hinder the enemy or even heal the plant to ensure you get the killing blow.
• Reward: 4590 Gil, Water Sigil x3. You'll also gain 60 Clan Points.

Mission C1-10: Yellow Wings in Trouble

Next, we've got an escort mission: 'Yellow Wings in Trouble'. The Yellow Wings are in a tight spot and need your protection.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Target: Protect the Yellow Wings (levels 54-56).
• Enemy: House Bowen and his crew (Fighter, Illusionist, Assassin, Ravager).
• Forbidden Law: Harming the Weak (don't attack the Yellow Wings!).

Phases:

1. The Situation: You're at The Ruins of Delgantua. The Yellow Wings are under attack and can't survive on their own.
2. Protect the Escort: Your main goal is to ensure no Yellow Wing member is defeated. If one dies, you fail the mission.
3. Defeat the Foes: You also need to defeat all enemy units, including House Bowen.

Strategy:

• Prioritize Threats: Take out the Illusionist first, as they can be very disruptive. The Assassin is the next priority. Bowen and Loa are less critical but still need to be dealt with.
• Reinforce Quickly: The Yellow Wings can hold their own for a bit, but you need to get to them fast. High movement and jump abilities are super helpful to cross the terrain, like the waterfall.
• Swift Action: The faster you eliminate the enemies, the less risk there is to the Yellow Wings.
• Reward: 12780 Gil, Orichalcum x1. You'll gain 99 Clan Points.

Mission C1-11: An Earnest Search

Finally, we have 'An Earnest Search'. This is a 'Satisfy Petitioner' type quest where you'll be meeting someone on behalf of a guy named Marnot.

Details:

• Objective: Meet one of two ladies Marnot has scheduled rendezvous with.
• Reward: 1050 Gil, Damascus x4, Birch x1, Quality Lumber x5. You'll gain Clan Points based on the mission rank.
• Destination: Not specified in this snippet, but likely a city or town.
• Talents: Requires Negotiation (51) and Teamwork (51).

This one seems straightforward – just show up and play nice. Good luck!
