FF IX Excalibur II Perfect Game- Part 10a: Black Waltz No. 2

"Dali Underground AND Black Waltz No. 2" is too many letters but that's what this should be called. This whole segment is over 25 minutes long so no chance to save any moogles here.

Getting through the underground area with no random battles (the one after opening the door is forced and doesn't count) is tough but possible. Hopefully if you can make it then you won't get killed by Black Waltz No. 2, both are luck dependent.

Sometimes standing in the doorway will cause Morrid to come inside faster. When it doesn't work, Steiner goes insane with impatience and has an uncontrollable spasm of rage.
Observing the barrel is slightly faster than stabbing it.

I make a pretty big error against BW#2, Steiner should've physically attacked the second time, not used Magic Sword. Fortunately I was able to survive without too much time loss.

How did you get moon stone?

Impress 100 nobles in the sword fight.

[KaiuKun]

This is pretty cool. :)

I wish you wouldn't go so fast on the text though.. It's fun to read the dialogue. <:(

[1whoistornapart]

No time for such luxuries, this is a speedrun. There are plenty of other FFIX playthroughs on YouTube with the dialogue intact.

I know this was forever ago and I'm watching the playthrough a second time for my own amusement, but I wanted to point out the use of humor in your description with "uncontrollable spasm of rage." It made me laugh. =)

running towards the dollroom, and before that you have to run that long hallway. Where you as always get a fight which usually pisses you off ( if you are a normal human being). But I decided to run all along the hallway until Zidane stops, and then he talks, skip the text. After that you're supposed to equip mythril dagger, but I also REVIVED DAGGER. And somehow that worked and I got past without a fight. Might been coincidental but I don't know since I tried many times and it worked. try it ^^

[maxnanii]

I found out one thing that actually worked, but it might have been a coincidence, you who actually tries this have to be the judge. I was stuck here for like 90 mins, and I noticed during the forced fight that if both dagger and vivi died, or if just one died, I never had a fight in the mist room, but always got one when running towards the dollmaking room. So i tried a couple of more times and then I tried killing dagger off in the first fight and then fleeing. It succeeded and I went on

What does moonstone do again?

[NecroSora190]

Man was I lucky zidane locked a 360 critical making this all the more easy.

(just saying) Dagger/ Garnet is equiped with the rod which has the cure spell learnable when u obtain her in your party.

[MGBJeans]

Your videos are great! :)

Is there a reason why you don't equip Silk Shirt to Dagger (learning Cure) or Leather Wrist to Vivi (learning Blizzard)?
