Most Difficult Dungeon…? - Page 2

Stillshrine of Miriam for me, that stupid dungeon actually made me stop playing for several months...I got it when it came out last October, stopped playing it in November, didn't touch the bloody thing again till August I think. Even with a walkthrough I kept getting lost in that damn place and kept having to backtrack, and despite my decent level some of the monsters were too much (like the Hell Mares or whatever...damn things chased me all over the place). And then you found out you had to find and move frigging statues and one room I had to go through was full of bombs and oh god, it was horrible x__x

The Pharos was actually really easy for me...it was LONG and BORING but easy. That's probably because I had Vaan, Ashe, and Basch all equipped with Deathbringers so I was KOing things left and right and had that nice spell Vanish for when things ganged up on me (and that psychopath Reddas).

I thought the Pharos was the hardest dungeon. I kept getting pwned. The mobs keep coming at you with their area attacks and stautus ailments. Disease was killer. All my characters that was afflicted with disease kept getting killed as soon as I ressurected them because they were at full HP with only 1 hit point. Plus my characters were pretty strong, so whenever the whole lot of them got confused, it was usually game over. Even though my main party was around level 80, it still gave me a lot of problems.

Disease? o_O I never encountered that my whole time in there...either that or I had a gambit to get rid of it so I never noticed it. But what were those giant hulking lizard things and those other giant things with no heads, though? Those things sucked, thank god for the Vanish spell.

Stillshrine was hard for me mainly because of those frigging statues constantly coming to life and catching you off guard, plus that room with the three dragon types that bum rushed you...ouch.

You've never had disease? The earth esper uses that alot. It reduces your current and max hp at the same time when you take damage.

The mines near the beginning, just after you get Fran, Balthier and,, later, Basch. At that time, levelling up was harder. It took me 2 - 3 hours to get past those. Haha. The others have been simple enough 'cause I've made sure I'm at a good level.

the basement in the pahos had way to many status atacks. not to mention the annoying magic pots. my gambit were set up to akt the closest monster and they kept on atking it. (i was to lazy to change them)

The Pharos, definitely...especially towards the end - I think that was where those monsters inflicted diseases and so many status ailments on my characters...or was that in Giruvegan? Either way, Pharos was a pain because it was soooo long and boring. I just hated it.

That gave me alot of problems aswel, I kept getting the area map then getting had off by disease, I died so many times that I had some serious temper tantrums that would give ANY angry teenager a run for their money. In the end I gave up and decided I was NOT getting the map (altho I still ended up there once or twice by accident touching the wrong damn way stone) I hated that place so much

Meh, it was the Leviathan that made me quit for months, I got so lost so many times, then when I eventually got to Ghis he kicked my backside good and proper I was so miffed I decided there was no way I was EVER playing that game ever again. Don't think that technically counts as a dungeon but OMG it irritated me almost as much as the pharos

I really don't know what this 'disease' is. I never had that status effect a single time while I was playing the game.

What ticked me off about the Pharos most though was it's sheer length. It was just so long. I was sort of glad that the Bahamut wasn't a dungeon because after the Pharos, I don't think I could have handled another one.
