Phantasy Star Generation 1 Walkthrough - Part 10: Air Castle

Air Castle

As you can see on the maps, the castle is simple. All the red dots contain Trifluids (トリフルイド) and the blue dot is where Lassic is. You begin on the left side of the first map, and you gotta walk until the last floor to walk a lot more and keep going down through the right side of the maps. It might be tempting to take all the Trifluids, but it's not worth it. Not only won't you have room for all of them, you probably won't even use them. So don't be greedy and just take the ones on the first floor, all right? Just use one or two of them to recover Lutz's MP (due to the unavoidable battles against the guardians). The enemy encounter rate here is low. If you find yourself in a battle, run away using Alis' Escape (ラクスタ). When you climb the first ladder and turn in the bend, you'll face the last of the legendary dragons, the hardest of them.

He's very hard to defeat. The strategy is the same we used with that dragon who received us when we got to the Air Castle. The only difference here is that Lutz, instead of using Gi-Flare, must use Gi-Wind (ギヒューン). If he kills you, don't give up, you can win at level 60, I guarantee it, you just need a little bit of luck. :D

After defeating him, use the Soothing Flute (スーズフルート) to leave and Alis' Teleport (トルーパ) to go to back to Camineet (カミニート居住区). Go to the hospital, heal everyone and save the game. Now go to the shop and buy crystals again. But there's one more thing. Buy a Fire Crystal (フレエリクリスタル) and a Cure Crystal (キュアラクリスタル) for Lutz. This will give him a mighty magic spell that will be very useful now. Be sure to equip the crystals on everyone. Then teleport again to the Air Castle (空中庭園). Now you just gotta fight against the guardians again, use Trifluids (トリフルイド) to recover Lutz's and Myau's MP and go straight (don't waste your time going around and taking the Trifluids) to where Lassic is, and that can be by running away from the battles with Alis' Escape (ラクスタ). Before meeting Lassic, use Myau's or Lutz's Ra-Heal (ラヒール) to heal your party and use the Trifluids to recover their MP. You should go with HP and MP full to face Lassic.

Lassic will welcome the party and they will argue with him. He will reveal that Alis is actually the daughter of Algol's old king. Lassic was planning something against her, so she was trusted to a family to live in secret (in that case, her adoptive brother's, Nero's, family). Alis will be very surprised by that and says that Nero was more than a brother for her. The party will step back now. I don't know why exactly because I didn't understand the entire conversation... Anyway, walk forward again. Lassic will ask if you guys are hurrying to die and Alis says he doesn't know what it is to love someone. Now we'll face Lassic once and for all!

The strategy here is simple. Alis must go to "Collabo" and use Thunderstorm (サンダーストーム). Myau must use Power (パウマ) on Odin, Odin attacks and Lutz must go to "Collabo" and use Hell Invite (ヘルインビティ). If Lutz's crystals don't break and you can use them again, great! The rest is simple. Lassic is resistant to every kind of magic spell and none of them will be good against him, so everyone (even Lutz) must just attack. On the following turns, Myau must keep using Power. First on Alis, then on Lutz and then on himself. After that he can attack. When the Thunderstorm effect has faded, Myau must use it, and when it has faded again, Odin must use it. Everyone should just attack normally and Lutz or Myau must use some healing spells when necessary. Oh, of course, when you run out of Thunderstorms, Myau should use Shield (ワーラ) and Magic Shield (ムワーラ). After some time you'll defeat him. Way easier than the last dragon, huh? It's disappointing...:D

Defeated, Lassic will feel his body dissolve and will ask Dark Falz to engulf the Algol Star System in flames and will give his last malign laugh amidst coughs. The party will automatically teleport out of the castle and you'll be between Camineet and Parolit again. If you use L1 for the party to talk, Alis will be happy from defeating Lassic, but at the same time still a little shocked from what Lassic told her. Myau is excited and Odin says it's still too soon to get excited, because we need to talk to the Motavia Governor first! And that's what we'll do now. If you know Japanese, go talk to everyone, everywhere. They all will congratulate you in their own way. If you go to Alis' room she will even "tell Nero" she was able to defeat Lassic and cry from happiness. :D

First of all, go to Camineet, heal everyone at the hospital and, one more time, buy crystals, including some for Lutz, as we did before Lassic. After buying and equipping them, save the game. Now use Alis' Teleport (トルーパ) to go to Gothic (ガシコの村). Take your spaceship and go to Uzo (ウーゾの村). In Uzo, use Teleport and go to Paseo (首都パセオ). Now in Paseo you can buy Trifluids (トリフルイド)! But I don't think you'll need them. You can also buy the Soundtrack (サウンドトラック), which allows you to hear the game music. It's quite expensive: 98000 Meseta, but money shouldn't be a problem by now. Take the way to the Governor's palace and you'll be surprised (you won't be surprised at all if you already finished the Master System original version before). The Governor is not there and you'll fall through a trap! Welcome to the last dungeon! :D If you want, please consult the map available here at PS Cave.
