Final Fantasy III
FINAL FANTASY Record Keeper Guide
This guide is meant to assist in defeating bosses in Elite Dungeons. Elite Dungeons are unlocked by mastering the Classic version of each of the available levels. As usual the difficulty of these dungeons are typically relative -- for a well-leveled party with strong gear these will mostly be a cakewalk. Otherwise, expect a tougher time for an average battle party.
Altar Cave
| 1st Time Completion Reward | 1x Mythril, 1x Stamina Shard |
| Completion Reward | 12,000 Gil |
| Mastery Reward | 3x Greater White Orb, 1x Stamina Shard |
| Boss Condition | Defeat Great Tortoise without being KO'd. |
Have a healer/support character, cast boost on your strongest attackers and have them go to town on Tortoise. Support units are healers. Also, do not waste turns on earth attacks as they would not work on this creature at all.
Castle Sasune
| 1st Time Completion Reward | 1x Mythril, 1x Stamina Shard |
| Completion Reward | 12,000 Gil |
| Mastery Reward | 3x Greater Black Orb, 1x Stamina Shard |
| Boss Condition | Exploit Griffon's weakness to wind attacks. |
The boss condition says to use wind attacks on the Griffon but unfortunately, there is not a lot of abilities right now that inflict wind damage, aside from Wind Slash and Aero Strike. Use these on him to get the associated medals then just stick to your usual battle pattern once you run out of wind abilities. You should always have healers on hand to stay healthy
Sealed Cave
| 1st Time Completion Reward | 1x Mythril, 1x Stamina Shard |
| Completion Reward | 12,000 Gil |
| Mastery Reward | 3x Greater Power Orb, 1x Stamina Shard |
| Boss Condition | Exploit Djinn's weakness to ice/water atks. |
As you may have noticed by now (unless you have a super-strong party) that the monster mobs leading up to the bosses in this realm's dungeons are quite tough. Take advantage of equipment synergy and have a reliable healer (high mind stat) with plenty of healing spells. As for the Djinn, ice and water magic for the mages and Blizzard/Water Strikes for those who can use Spellblade. Support characters should boost and heal as needed obviously.
Nepto Temple
| 1st Time Completion Reward | 1x Mythril, 1x Stamina Shard |
| Completion Reward | 12,000 Gil |
| Mastery Reward | 1x Large Adamantite, 1x Stamina Shard |
| Boss Condition | Afflict the Giant Rat with Silence. |
Again, this is another level where the mobs will give you far more trouble than the boss. The monster mobs come in big crowds of five, so hopefully your characters are able to kill one target in a single hit, as things will be easier that way. Make sure your healer is always available to throw a healing spell when you need it. Once you get to the Giant Rat, stick to the usual battle pattern of boost-spellblade-attack and the boss will go down quickly.
