Anyone Finished the Endgame of Crystal Tower? What Level Were You?

[Brian (The Schmaltzy Cynic)]

I know one of the biggest reasons why most guides about FF3 say you need a Level 75+ party for the endgame is due to the DS remake giving bosses two attacks per turn, and the final boss already does a crap ton of damage. Right now, I've completed Doga's Circle of Magic dungeon at Level 27 and I've had a comfortably challenging time, so I'm curious if those absurd level/HP requirements are not as bad as they once were.

Surprising how many needed to grind. was 48 was when i used ninja knight sage and warlock. 2nd run through was 45 with Dark night 2 warlocks and a Devote. All you need is someone to cast curaja each turn, other than that you can win with any team since it more often then not heals more then the bosses can do. Specially the last boss who only does one attack. Just a matter of time to wittle down the hp while healing each turn.

Might not have been a need to grind, so much as incidental grinding while trying to get double dragon to spawn. I think I got nearly 10 levels trying to get that bestiary entry.

My Playthrough
Monk Class - Djinn at lv 10 (because i killed everything in my way)
Monk Class - to Lv 22 at Fire Crystal
Monk Class - to Lv 33 at Water Crystal
Viking - 3 dragoons, Thunder lances. -> Kept them for the rest of the game. lol just switched Blood lances when it came to undead
Lv 57 after defeating Cloud of Darkness

I was level 52-53. I used two Ninjas and two Sages.

If I remember from the 3d remake. the game hits a pretty big wall at around the crystal tower and ya gotta do a pretty big amount of grinding. was my biggest issue with the game

[Jennah]

Ninja, a Black Belt I had gotten to job level 99 who hit for more, and 2 sages. Level 53.

Kept hearing a lot about how difficult the end game was and how it "ruined the game" for everyone

So my best option was to grind up to Lv.50 (exactly 50 while playing as 2 Ninjas and 2 Sages) and then tackle the endgame, and by then I already finished the game once I was at that level. The Crystal Tower isnt as hard as people say it is, but World of Darkness itself is not fun, and doesnt help that you have to deal with four, count them, FOUR bosses with 99999 HP

yeeeeep. it's a lot easier when you do the ninja + sages strat.

To bad using ninja to throw stars is super boring and not strategic at all though. but its the only way to do any big damage. World of darkness is easily possible without ninjas, but it just takes forever to kill any boss. Warlocks using flare does 4000 ish, so they are the second best choice.

Sages are pointless in this version. Sure they have all magic, but less casts and way weaker. One devote is more than enough healing so just deal more damage to speed stuff up with everyone else.

The endgame isnt what id call hard at all, its just stupid long and a big time sink unless you cheese it.

I was 50 or 51 when I finished, with Knight, Ninja, Bard, and Devout. I didn't have any trouble with this party.
I opened all the Ribbon chests and beat the four crystal bosses at 48, so I probably could have done it then just fine, but I knew about the level 50 achievement and went for it.

Just tried to go into the tower with my full party of level 51 Black Belts (all around job level 75-80) and am going to have to reset and grind some more. Monk/Black Belt for full game challenge (except for required mini/toad casting) was easy until this point. The hard part is only being able to carry 99 hi-potions.

You should try the bard. Free healing never runs out. And get them high enough and they can out heal even the particle beam.

Level 52, I had 2 sages and 2 ninja's kill Cloud of Darkness.

ds like said above was harder cause enemies due to the limitations of the ds couldnt display many enemies so they gave them multiple attacks to make up for it so you saw maybe 1-3 enemies per fight but they got multiple atks per turn it was annoying. The remake they can have 1-9 on the screen at once so its more fair esp since each of them only get 1 turn...this inlcudes bosses who got multiple turns in a row on ds but back to 1 on the remake

Since I asked, here is what I finished the game as--and I've seen someone beat the game with 4 Scholars, so it's definitely way more forgiving--but I'm glad I used a Sage to spam nuking spells like Bahumat for the World of Darkness side-bosses.
