When the Skull Dragon is defeated, a set of stairs going down will appear. (It would seem the folks at Square were nice enough to prevent you from having to jump the bridges again.) Return the party to the save room, and switch to party 2, and have them go there as well. Before continuing, Switch to party 3. Have them go north, through the door to the next area. go up and around to the right, and stop at the ledge. Take party 2, and have them enter the door to the left. In the new room, go to the left, until you see a switch. (you should also see party 3.) Step on the switch to create a way for party 3 to come across. Change to your main party, and have them go into the same room. Instead of going left, have them go right, then up and to the left. There will be a weight above a switch. Push it over the edge. Continue to the left, veering up past the door, until you see two pools that look like eyes. In the center, hit the a button, to trigger a hidden switch the tombstone hinted at. Now return to the door, and enter the next area. In this area, go to the right, and you will find another dragon.

	Holy Dragon
	If you use your main party, this will be an easier fight. Every time you strike Holy Dragon, he will use Curaga. But only one time/attack. So if you hit him with Edgar's Genji Glove/Master's Scroll, and 2 Ultima Weapons, (he should actually die) he will only use Curaga once. Just keep doing higher damage than his Curaga heals him, and he will eventually fall. For defeating him, you will get the Zanmato for Cyan.

When you defeat Holy Dragon, you will need to use teleport, and warp out of the dungeon. There is another way to do this, but it calls for completely backtracking two parties to where you fought Ice Dragon. Trust me it is easier to teleport. When you return to the den, keep your parties the same, and have party 1 and 2 enter the right entrance. Have them go to the area, where you use the turtle. Have them both cross the turtle to the other side. Take party 2 and have them go up the stairs, and to the right side. There should be a blank tomb. Stop here, and change back to the main party. From the turtle, head to the right, and into a room with tombstones. Be sure to read each one as you progress. When you get to the back of this room, you will meet your last dragon.

	Gold Dragon
	If you are a major magic user, this fight will be difficult. All spells cast will be absorbed by Gold Dragon. So you will have to stick to Attacking, and healing items. If Edgar and Locke don't get hit in the first round, they should be able to knock him out before round 2. For defeating him, you Will get Locke's Zwill Crossblade.

With the defeat of the Gold Dragon, you can go after Kaiser. But there is a bit more to do, if you are looking to get everything in Dragon's Den. To do so, have party 1, meet party 2 at the tombstone. Change to party 2, and have them examine the tomb. If you read all the stones on the way to fight Gold Dragon, you should get a list of jumbled words. You need to place them in correct order, like you did in Daryl's Tomb earlier in the game. The correct phrase should be "THE KING OF DRAGONS".

A door will open in front of you. Take party 2 inside. Here you will see a series of stairs. Begin by going down to the left, then right, pass the chest, down left, right, left. This should bring you to the bottom. Go up the next stairs to the right, over, and down the stairs. Go up the next set of long stairs, and enter the door. In this room, just go right, down and right to find a warp point. warp to the next room. In this room, you will find four chests. The two on the right contain a Ribbon, and Umaro's Bone Wrist relic. The other two chests contain Relm's Angel Brush, and Mog's Gungnir. However there is also a boss fight for each chest.

	Plague
	Being that this boss has very little HP compared to most bosses in the den, you should be able to wipe him out pretty quick. He loves to cast doom, so you only need to out last the countdown. If it gets too close to the end of the count, cast Reraise on the character(S). Just keep inflicting damage, and he will go down real fast.

	Neslug
	This is similar to the Ymir and Angler Whelk fights from before. You should only attack the head. If the shell is hit, it counters with Megaton Smash. Focus on hitting the head with Firaga magic, and heal when it retracts into the shell. Overall, this is a pretty easy fight.

With these bosses gone, head south a bit, and collect the Stardust Rod for Strago. no return to the 4 chests, and continue right to the next warp. Go right in the next room, and hit the warp point. Now in this room, go right, then up. You will see a warp point, but don't hit it. It will only go to a room with nothing in it. Instead go to the left of the warp, and head through the doorway on the south wall. Once outside again, head through the area, until you come to a ledge to the right of a blocked door. Here you should see a darkened spot on the ground. Stand on it, and it will open a doorway to the right of you. You cannot reach it, so switch over to your main party.
Have your main party go inside the cloister. Instead of following the second party's path, head over to the second set of stairs, and go down to the left, then down left again. Pass the chest, and go down the stairs to the right. This should bring you to the door your other party opened. Head inside, and go to the warp point. In the next room, you will see three chests. The left contains a Ganji Glove, while the top contains a Crystal Orb. Before opening the chest on the right, equip everyone with Ribbons. The chest on the right, contains Shadow's Orobozuki, and a boss fight.

	Flan Princess x5
	Being flans, these creatures are almost immune to physical attack. Their first attack is always Mega Berserk, which will berserk you without the Ribbons. Use lots of Firaga and Ultima, and the Flans will not last long. Also the ultima Weapons will do their regular damage no matter what.

After de-throning the Princesses, head over and south past the warp to find one more chest. This contains a Dueling Mask for Gau. Once you get this, there is nothing more to do. take both parties out of the cloister, and back to the Beginning This time, instead of riding the turtle, go to the right and around that way. Now when you get to the other side, call the turtle once. This will bring it back to the center of the platforms. Leave it there for now. Now, you need to get everyone back to the save room where the bridges are. (I know, we are almost done.) Ok, take party 2 and 3 into the room to the left of the save point. Here, have party 2 push the weight over again. then go down to the switch left of the way you came in, and hit it. Have party 3 find their way back across the stones, until they are in the bottom most section of this area. Now head to the north, and save at the save point. Go into the room left of the point, and enter. Walk up the path, and hit the switch. Leave them alone (for good), and change back to party 2.
Have party 2 return to party 1. from here, go over to the doorway, before you jump the bridges. Enter, and ride the turtle across to the right. Now head up, then left to the switch. Climb the stairs, and enter the center area. Save your game at the save point, and switch to the main party.
Have your main party join party 2. But instead of going to the center room, have them go to the right room, where you enter the cloisters. There on the left side of the room is the dark spot on the floor. hit it, and have party 2 enter the new door. Here walk up the path to the switch. You are now done with party 2. Change back to party one, and head to where you fought the Skull Dragon. From here, head left across the ledges and bridges, until you get to a door. On your first venture to get the Skull Dragon, this door was blocked. you can now enter, and head to the switch.
*NOTE* The last party to hit one of the three switches, is the one who will fight Kaiser. Be sure it is your main party!

When you activate all three switches, you will be teleported to a new room. In front of you stands the lord of all dragons...Kaiser!

Kaiser Dragon

Holy Espers batman this is one tough cookie to beat. Even at Level 99, he is hard. Attacks...he has a whole slue of them just for you to not enjoy. He will freeze you 9 times out of 10 each time you strike him physically. Hopefully you ahve a fire spell ahndy, or some Flame Rods. He can cast Meteor, as well as his own kind of Meteor (Final fantasy IV style). Flarestar, Wind attacks, Delta Attack, you name it! What is a person to do?? First round, seriously the FIRST ROUND, have two characters hit Reraise, and two characters hit Float. In the second round, have the two do the spell the other two did. Kaiser changes his attacks often, and earth is in there as well. One Quake spell will wipe you out. Float will prevent that. So if he freezes you for attacks, what do you do? Well, this is kind of simple too. Have two characters fight, while the other two serve as medics. Have one with a Genji Glove/Master Scroll combo hit him each time for some heavy damage. If he gets frozen, have the next caster available hit him with Fire. The same for the second fighter. Under no circumstance should you have everyone attack. He can, and probably will, hit each of you with his freezing attack...and it is game over. If you ahve a caster with a Celistriad and Soul of Thamasa, you can almost have them be the sole healer with a double shot of Curaga each turn. If this is the case, the second caster can then become a caster of Ultima to help reduce the HP even more. Kaisers final attack is Ultima. You want to be able to outlast that spell.Once that is done, simply have Edgar and Locke attack, while Celes and Terra continuously heal, and raise everyone. This battle might take a bit of time, but you should be able to come out easily with the stats and weapons suggested.

When the lord of dragons finally dies, you will see a Magicite Shard appear in front of you. Grab it, and you will get the Diablos Magicite. You will then be told of the Soul Shrine. If you have beaten the game, you can head there, and try it out. If not, you have to defeat Kefka first.



You might think you are done with the Dragon's Den huh? Well, if you leave, and come back to where you fought Kaiser Dragon, you will find that someone got missed! And this guy is as difficult as he has been in every Final Fantasy, with the exception of IX, and the original VI release, since Final Fantasy V. That is right, it is none other than Omega Weapon!

Omega Weapon

Omega would have easily killed Kaiser...if you hadn't done so first. His attacks are more frequent, and very brutal. I would suggest placing Ribbons on all four characters. Yes sacrafice Edgar's Genji Glove. Also have one of your casters equipped with the Soul of Thamasa. And the other with the Celistriad. Change out the Ultima Weapon (If you are using it) for the ragnarok/Lighbringer. That way if you get hit hard before attacking, you are not wasting a turn making minimal damage. Shields are a must, and the best are the Paladin Shield, and Force Shields. These will aid in the magic attacks you are going to face. And trust me you are going to face a lot. Also Force Shields do not hurt at all either. So just what can this beast of all beasts do? Well, there is just about everything in the book. Grand Delta, Ultima, (IV style) MEteor, Freezing Dust, Flaresar, Meltdown, Fallen Angel, Level 3 Confuse, Level 5 Death, Delta Attack, and finally his big big BIG attacks: Foresaken, and Omega Drive. Both of these can smear you into the wall. In the first round, have everyone cast Reraise on themselves. Do not worry about attacking. Trust me he is not going anywhere. In the Second round, have the caster with the Soul of Thamasa hit Hastega as well as Curaga. Yes Curaga that fast. You have no idea what could happen before you get that first spell off. The second caster casts Ultima (Unless there is need to heal), while the two attackers go to town. With the ragnarok/Lightbringer, it is almost a gimme that it will set off its spell with the Master Scroll equipped. You will need all of the extra damage dealt you can muster. If things begin getting hairy, always have the other caster stop and heal as well. I had the caster with the Soul of Thamasa cast Curaga both times, no matter what. If you feel brave enough, you can change the Ribbons on your casters out, and have both equipped wiht the Soul of Thamasa/Celistriad combo. You can then have two constant Curaga and two Ultima's going out with each casters turn. The second Omega throws Fallen Angel at you, stop and heal. If you have any Megalixirs, use them at these points in time. They seem to go through faster than spells do. If you are lucky, the healers will get you up before Omega can take you out of the fight. If not, get everyone healed first, then worry about bringing the fallen back. This is a very long and grueling fight. Even at level 99, with my stats as high as I could get them, you can see from teh image above that party members were dying still. But keep in there. You will eventually overcome this terror of Final Fantasy legend.

With the defeat of Omega, you have finally finished everything there is to do in the Dragon's Den. Head out, and you can either finish the main game, or if that is done, you can go over, and test your skills in the Soul Shrine. Congratulations on your Victory!!!
