If you haven't already done all the sidequests you should finish them before going to the Moon's Core. Also buy a good supply of Cabins and other items for this dungeon. When you are ready, return to the Moon. Head for the structure in the center and walk to the backroom. Walk onto the panel in the center and get ready for some action. I suggest you be at least level 40 before you enter the Moon's Core.
First, walk east through a hidden wall then go all the way around the room to a treasure chest containing monsters. It will consist of two RedGiants and when you defeat them, you will be rewarded with a Ninja Robe. Return to the entrance and walk west to a teleporter. Walk to the next room and you will see a chest. It contains a Life Staff guarded by two Warlocks and two Karys. After another empty room, you will see a floating sword. It is the legendary ninja sword Murasame guarded by the Pale Dim.
Boss: Pale Dim
HP: 26,000He counters physical attacks with Slow and absorbs most Black Spells and counters with a spell of his own. Bahamut hurts him 7000-9000 damage but he still counters Call Spells with Quake. You can easily dodge Quake with Float. Blink your characters from physical attacks. Rydia should cast Bahamut while Cecil, Kain and Edge attacks. Once he is defeated, you are bestowed with the Murasame.
Return to the entrance and head for the south door. Now walk through the hidden wall and take the Flame Whip. Continue along the path north and you will find a Dragoon Shield to your left. Now walk south and then right through another hidden passage to get a Dragoon Helmet. Continue right through a hidden passage and take the Dragoon Armour and Dragoon Gauntlet. Now return and enter the doorway in the center.
Walk east and take the chest with Artemis Arrows. Go down the stairs and head west to a room. Take the Elixir, leave and go down the stairs on the east side. Go in the room and take the treasure chest above you. Keep walking left and take the chest. Now leave through the small exit. There will be a treasure chest right outside the room. A Behemoth will be waiting inside for you. Defeat it and earn a Stardust Rod. Take the stairs going to the next room.
Go south past the stairs and open the treasure chests just to the left of you. It contains a Red and Blue Dragon. Blink your main fighters again. Kain should Jump while Cecil and Edge attacks. Rydia should cast Bahamut for some major damage. Be careful of the Red Dragon's Heat Ray attack because it causes A LOT of damage to all party members. When the ordeal is over, you are granted a Crystal Shield. Now go inside the room and walk north. Take the Protect Ring and walk east through the hidden wall. First go south and take the chest with a Crystal Armour from the Behemoth. Return and take the north route. There will a treasure chest containing two Red Dragons to the right of you. They will give you a Crystal Gauntlet. Head for the room to the west. Take the White Robe and head north. There will be a treasure chest to the west with monsters, which consists of a Warlock and a D.Fossil. Defeat them and receive a Crystal Helmet. Also take the Cabin in the room to the right and then head south to the stairs.
Note: The room with the Cabin is where you fight the rare Pink Puffs. They can also drop the rare Pink Tails with you can trade for the best armour in the game, the Adamant Armour.
Now take the Artemis Arrows to your left and the Ninja Star to your right. There is a Cabin south and a door southeast.
Note: If you are in dire need of a save point, skip this next part and return when you are healed up.
There will be a invisible bridge just west of where you found the Cabin. Walk across and go north into a hidden teleporter in the wall. Take the chest and head east to a teleporter. Keep going north along the path to another teleporter. Now, you will see a chest in the middle of the path. It contains a Behemoth guarding another Protect Ring. Continue north to teleporter and reach a refreshing save point. Go outside and see another floating sword. This time, it's guarded by a Wyvern.
Boss: Wyvern
HP: 25,000The Wyvern will immediately cast MegaNuke on the party. It will probably kill most of the party unless you get lucky and it misses. Then he will cast Wall on himself and begin reflecting Nuke spells at you. If a wizard does not survive, revive one immediately, then slowly bring everyone back one by one. Rydia should NOT use any Call Spell because Wyvern will counter with a MegaNuke. Have Cecil attack, Kain Jump and Edge Throw some stars. Once you have defeated him, you will receive Cecil's best weapon, the Crystal Sword. Now return to the invisible bridge area.
Go to the doorway south and then open the treasure chest above you. It will surprise you with a Warlock and three Karys. You will earn a Heroine Robe for your efforts. Finally walk east to the first room and THANKFULLY reach a save point. Now the second room will contain a White Spear but it is guarded by a Plague.
Boss: Plague
HP: 28,000I suggest you slow down the battle speed for this fight. Right at the beginning of the battle, Plague will cast a countdown timer on the whole party. Kain, Cecil and Rosa should attack. Rydia should cast Bahamut and Edge should throw some stars at him. When he is gone, you will receive the spear.
The third door will contain two chests, which of course should bring forth two monsters.
Boss: D. Lunar x2
HP: 15,000Both of them will cast Wall on themselves and begin to reflect strong Virus spells right back at you. Cecil's Crystal Sword should do 9999 damage while Kain and Edge attacks. Rydia can cast Bahamut while Rosa heals or attacks. When they are dead, take the two Ribbons.
Now, walk all the way north to the next area. This part of the dungeon will have boss-type random monsters so be careful. Go east down the stairs then west and take the Ninja Stars. Head south to another floating sword. This will be Edge's final weapon, the Masamune.
Boss: Ogopogo
HP: 38,000He will start off the battle with two Big Waves causing heavy damage. Now like usual, Cecil attacks, Kain Jumps, Edge throw some stars, Rydia cast Bahamut and Rosa heals. Ogopogo uses Big Wave often in the battle so be ready for healing. When you have defeated him, you will get the Masamune.
You can go back and get healed first then move on to the next floor. Now take the Elixir to your right and go south. Pick up the Whistle and keep moving on east. Walk south and take the Ninja Star then move along west and take the another Ninja Star. The next floor is simple, just follow the path and enter the teleporter.
At last you find Golbez and FuSoYa. They were just about to fight Zemus so you get to watch. Both Golbez and FuSoYa cast weak and ineffective spells at first but after a while, they put both of their powers together and cast Meteo. They have defeated Zemus! But wait, Zemus' deep hatred reveals itself as Zeromus. He knocks the whole party unconscious but Golbez and FuSoYa remain strong and fight. They both cast Meteo but to no avail. Then Golbez uses the Crystal but it was useless since he is filled with evil. Both of them are defeated. Back on Earth, all of the party's friends were wishing for them in the Tower of Wishes. Cecil regains consciousness, take the Crystal from Golbez and goes after Zeromus.
Boss: Zeromus
HP: LotsI suggest you be around at least level 55 before you face Zeromus (for an easier time). First, you see the scene where your party is healed by all the character's wishes. Now, have Cecil use the Crystal that Golbez gave him on Zeromus. Zeromus will transform into his true form. His first move will usually be Big Bang, which does about 1500-1900 damage so get ready to heal. Edge should Throw all your strongest items you have. Kain should Jump while Cecil attacks. Rydia should summon Bahamut or Asura if you need some major healing and Rosa should cast White or heal. Always keep your HP high enough so it can survive one Big Bang just in case because he casts that often.
Once he is defeated, everyone celebrates. FuSoYa and Golbez will return to the other Lunarians and sleep. Cecil says goodbye to his brother for probably the last time. The party returns to Earth and begin to rejoice. This chaotic world finally returns to a peaceful state.
