Screwing With The Golbez-Rydia Battle
« on: September 12, 2009, 10:45:09 AM »
Inspired by some moron's stupid insistence on Gamefaqs...

If you take advantage of the Mysidia Dancer to inflict Piggy on you, you could use that in the Golbez-Rydia battle, where Hold Gas/Cursed Aura does not work on you, thereby allowing you the chance to revive characters before Rydia shows up.

The only thing I'm not aware of is any possible healing before the battle....

I checked the event script, and there's no healing (status or otherwise) done before the battle. So, that should work. If it does, I'd be interested to know how much freedom you have during all the battle dialogue. Can you kill Golbez before his dragon appears?

There isn't much time (if you've tried my unfinished hack, it's very hard to accomplish that).

Since Golbez becomes vulnerable after the Mist Dragon is used, and to boot IIRC he has some reasonably high Agility (evidenced by a boatload of Do Nothings in this script), you can probably get in and revive right after the Shadow Dragon kills everyone (Kain being optional if you time it right), so you could arguably have like 1 dead character once the battle actually starts.

It's not really related, but you can't kill Golbez before Rydia appears in the DS version. You can drop him down to 1 HP, but you can't actually kill him before the shadow dragon events conclude.
