You get the eskies berries if you help the Urutans.

quote

Whenever you get to the part of the story where yuo have to go to the Tomb of King Raithwall, before you can go into tghe tomb, you have to battle the Garuda. Earlier in the Urutan-Yensa sandsea save area there is a moogle talking to a Urutan. walk up and talk to the moogle. he says that the Uratan was asking for help, that there is a giant beast killing the Urutan. go off in the direction of the Urutan for about 2 areas, and you'll see them fighting a giant turtle. help kill the turtle and then go back and tlak to the moogle. he said that the Urutan that asked for help went into the other sandsea (the one you originally started in). go back into the sandsea for a little ways and you'll see a short scene, go back to the moogle to see the Urutan that asked for help be completely disintegrated by the Urutan queen. where his body was is a peck of flowers, these flowers have berries growing from them. pick those berries and continue to the Tomb. at the tomb when the fight witht the Garuda initiates use the berries on the Garuda. this will take about 20% of his life. then use the biggest quickening chain you can. after that constantly use water spells on the Garuda. he should be dead in a very short round of turns.

That makes your next story-Boss easier to beat, it isn't that crappy after all..

Come on guys. Real men kill the garuda without offensive magic and without "berries;" or blind for that matter. Try a challenge, it's more fun.

What do the Eksir Berries do to the Garuda anyway?

I Dare You To Use Euclid's Sextant Against Yiazmat

Hmmm... Beating Yiazmat down with Euclid's Sextant does sound like a challenge. I'm about ready to kill that puffed up dragon on my perfect file. What other limitations do you want me to adhear to? How about the other two characters in my party?

I also read off an old thread sometime ago that the berries supposedly lowered the Garuda's strength or attack power, but I cant say whether this is true or not.

Now, I've not tried it but why would the Sextant do 0 damage? It ignores defense so it should do some damage. Well, next time I'm there I'll wack him with it just to give him Bubble (yes I know it won't but wouldn't that be funny).

I'm not exagerating, it really is impossible. It does 0 damahge every time.

100m...I have no idea if the game will do that. Since the Bubble status didnt come up after I whacked Yiazmat with the Sextant a few times.

a Whole game with the sextant Sounds fun!
