The Lete River trick depends on Banon's Health ability which essentially fully heals your entire party. In this hack, Banon doesn't have Health (he only has Fight and Item). He's equipped with a Heal Rod or whatever that weapon is that heals instead of does damage. So instead of being able to fully heal your entire party, he can only heal one member for ~32 damage. Also, the monsters are much much more difficult, so you can't even keep up on damage with that alone, you still need to rely on the save points and Terra's Cure spell to keep up on damage. At least I did, all my characters were level 10 at this point which may have been a little low, but I still got through okay.

Sabin's scenario however is absolutely kicking my ass.

Good luck on the Cyan vs. Leader fight guys.

Hint: use Retort and lots of potions.

Shadow is a fucking monster in this hack. Nothing can touch him. Well, except magic.

Gonna be spending the next hour or two grinding at the recovery spring in the Phantom Forest. Thank god for save states so I don't lose Shadow.

why bother playing a difficulty rom hack if you aren't restricting the use of save states?

Considering this can only be played on an emulator, I'm assuming it's considered that save states will be used. I don't abuse them, but in the case of Shadow leaving your party permanently, I damn well will use them. I'm 100% certain the Phantom Train is designed with having Shadow in your party. The only way to keep Shadow for sure, is to make sure he's dead until the Phantom Train. Considering how difficult the Phantom Forest is, you're not going to want to keep him dead. Especially considering it's pretty necessary to grind levels at the recovery spring, will will revive Shadow every time you use it.

Again, I'm not abusing save states by reloading every battle that doesn't go 100% perfectly, but if you can beat this hack without save states I bow to your might.

EZ.

Specter: NOT EZ. Besides being grossly over-leveled, there's one way and one way only to beat this encounter, and even then the RNG can screw you. This thing can do over 1000 damage to your entire party (I grinded to 16 and had just over 350) so if you don't use save states... be prepared to lose a lot of time trying to beat it. It's optional, but the reward is awesome:

Yousa broke ass *****? Use Reiker's Road to Riches trick:

Obtain the HealthRing: Send 5 letters from Mobliz (requires 2500 gold, sell an elixir if you can't afford that). Talk to the bedridden guy and you'll get the HealthRing. It rules.

This is during the war on Narshe in the snowfields. Make sure one of your groups only has Locke (not required but makes this faster). Clear all the soldiers until only the Rider and Kefka are left. Equip Locke with the HealthRing. Run him down and engage the Rider and steal his SteelShield (common) or SteelHelm (rare). If you die, you just respawn with 1 hp, and the HealthRing will get you back up to max by the time it takes you to walk back down to the Rider.

Do this as many times as you can before getting bored, equip the Steel equipment and sell off the extras. Don't bother with Kefka, he doesn't have anything to steal.
