Final Fantasy Help

True it was the first game to have that battle system but don't give up you can do it try to get the most powerful spells and then find the best weapons

In Final Fantasy 5, how do you defeat those tree spirits? (its been a while so i cant remember exactly where i am but..) I think the forest caught on fire? and then the we went through it and there are tree spirits in the back and they attack you? They kill me every time and I've tried everthing.

You talking about Treeman if so then use flame on him

[Zenrot]

im not sure if its treeman... Its those 5 things in the big tree that look like blue fire? They don't have names in the battle its just "???"

[EbeneezerAl]

Oh, those. Each of them has a weakness to a different element or in one case, physical attacks. As soon as you hit one of them, they all swap. Just keep swinging and eventually you'll hit it enough times to kill it. I don't remember what attacks it uses, but if it hits physically, use the golem summon.

And don't cast a spell on all. You get hit with it again from the ones who aren't weak to it if I remember right.

[Zenrot]

So do they randomly chance or is it in some kind of order....?

[EbeneezerAl]

Whenever they change, it's random. Anytime you see a couple of them flash like they're acting, but no action is taken, their weakness have ALL changed. Not just th two who flashed, all of them. I think all the damage is cumulative though. You don't have to kill them all, just one of them. I suggest finding the pysical one and save your MP for healing and support spells. Just keep going around hitting a different target with each character till you land the hit. It usually swaps as soon as it's found, so you likely won't get a second hit. I suggest using a Monk or a Ninja here for the double attacks. Particularly the ninja. Either using the Dancing Dirk to get Sword Dance (a major amount of damage if it hits) or using a double lance to get three attacks off in one shot (assuming you have either of these).

[Zenrot]

yeah, I use both a monk and a ninja. So you only have to kill one to beat them all huh, ok, ill try spam attacking the physical one.

[EbeneezerAl]

I'm pretty sure that's how it worked. There is only one name written down right? Or is this the one that had no name at all. In any case I think it's treated as one creature. Any damamge dealt to one is really damamge dealt to the whole.

Here you go this is the guy you where talking about

Boss: N/A | HP: 7777 | Level: 77 |
O============================================o==== ===========o===============O
| |
| Let me give you the low-down on how to defeat this boss almost guaranteed, |
| but you must follow these steps exactly. First I recommend you actually |
| fight the battle at least once first to get a feel for it. There are |
| four crystals each with its own elemental immunity. When they have less |
| than 3000 HP remaining they will cast powerful magic on your entire party |
| based on their element. Usage of the Reflect spell is rather limited as |
| you can't cast cure spells on yourself when it is in effect and it tends |
| to reflect the boss' spells back and them and heal them. Instead this is |
| what you should do is you absolutely desperately must win without hours of |
| leveling up, and I was able to win at level 25, which I meant I didn't |
| do any extra leveling at all. First go to the configure menu and reduce |
| the battle speed to as low as you're willing to set it without going crazy |
| with boredom during fights. Secondly make sure the ATB is set to wait as |
| opposed to active. Now turn three members of your party into summoners |
| and the last member into a Time Mage. Have the Time Mage cast the Float |
| spell on your entire party and then change the Time Mage to a Summoner |
| so you have a party of four floating summoners. Heal up and enter the |
| battle. Start off by summoning Golem to eliminate all physical damage |
| which is good because physical damage is all the boss can do. Now summon |
| Titan EXACTLY five times, no more more. After the fifth summoning of |
| Titan sit still until every member of your party has their turn gauges |
| full and are ready to move. Here's what to do. The second the crystal |
| on the far right attacks select the Summon command for whichever character |
| you are on and summon Titan. After this three of the four bosses will be |
| ready to cast their magic on you since they've taken so much damage but |
| you're more prepared than them. Because the battle speed is so low and |
| your other three characters are ready to move you should be able to select |
| and summon Titan three more times before any of the bosses get to attack. |
| The great thing is that even if the boss does manage to get one attack |
| through, the bottom one gets a turn after the right one and since that is |
| the Earth one it won't be using its magic since it has full health. On |
| fourth casting of Titan in a row which you were hopefully able to do |
| before any bosses got a turn, it will kill off three out of the four of |
| them. Here's the great thing. The last one has full health and you have |
| to switch to some other means of damage since Titan will heal it BUT no |
| matter what you do or how slow it goes you cannot die. Keep casting Golem |
| to protect you from physical attacks and since your entire party is |
| Floating the Earth Shaker spell cannot hit you. It's definitely win win.
