Approaching Zeromus, Part III
Posted by Mike Blitz on May 28th, 2008
As I lick my wounds and grind my way toward Zeromus again, I think about some strategy for this next attempt…
First, we don’t appear to start doing damage to each other until Cecil uses the crystal on Zeromus, which changes him into a form that allows us to do damage to each other. I wonder if I can have Rosa cast some defensive spells during this time. That might help cut down on the damage when the fight actually starts.
Second, I’ve been reorienting myself with the strongest of Rosa and Rydia’s spells. I can make much better use of them in this fight.
Third, I can have Edge throw stuff instead of using regular attacks. I think these will have a better chance of doing more damage.
Fourth, I can keep better track of what spells and summons do significant damage to Zeromus. Even if I lose, I should be able to learn something from this fight, so that when I come back again I’ll be in a better position to win.
After about 45 minutes, we’re once again ready to take on Zeromus. Time for Round Three!
Victory or defeat, it all hangs in the balance…
And I sure hope I win this time, because I’ve completely run out of ideas for pictures for these posts.

Out of curiosity, does FFIV on the GBA have a memo save feature that lets you save anywhere?

Yes, but it erases as soon as you load it, so it’s more of a glorified “pause” than anything else…

It sounds like you’re well prepared for the battle. Good luck.

Yup, Edge is right. You can stop anytime except in battle, but once you restart you lose that save.
Time to kick butt!

Here is an idea for the picture. Zeromus EG…in another version of FF4 the last boss looked different and had a different sprite. You could do a pic of that. Then again, an optional boss in the GBA version uses that sprite, so if you ever do the extra content it may get confusing.
Anyhow, you may have already lost or won by now, but still…good luck!

Good luck! I like CK’s suggestion for another picture of Zeromus, but here’s hoping you won’t need it!

Someone likes a suggestion of mine? Thats a new sensation! Thanks!

That’s a good idea. I’ll see if I can find another picture of Zeromus when I get back there for a fourth time.
