Ok so im in the area where u need to cast the spells on the switches before you hit them. theres a gate with two switches and theres no possible way to hit them both and destroy them before they come back. do i need to do it in multi cause i dont have and connectors (the only reason why i dont like this game). help?

oh i remember those switches!! apparently you can get past them using mogs help. i took this from a guide and NOTE THAT IT IS NOT MINE!! it belongs to a fellow named me frog. hope it helps

"First, drop the chalice so that both switches are inside the protective force field,
but the chalice is close to the fire switch than it is to the blizzard switch. Now,
you should notice a Gargoyle on the other side of the area. Position yourself in an
area where that Gargoyle can hit you. Let him hit you for a while until Mog says,
"Hang in there, kupo!" This means he's about to cast a spell. Leave your position
and go in between the two switches. Now switch to Fire or Blizzard. If you have
Fire, move your cursor over to the Blizzard switch. If you have Blizzard, move it
over to the Fire switch. DON'T release the spell power yet. Mog should charge up a
spell and place it over your cursor, which should be on the switch opposite your
current magic. Wait until Mog casts his spell. He'll cast a random spell, so pray
that it is either Fire or Blizzard (depending on what switch he's casting it on)."
