FF IX Excalibur II Perfect Game - Part 6: Plant Brain
September 7, 2009 – 7:42 am
Killing Zidane pushes the battle into the second stage automatically, where Plant Brain has less HP and thus requires less attacks to die. The fight could’ve ended one round sooner but he’s not the main concern.
Those of you who are familiar with the Level One game know that you must encounter only 2 Plant Spiders on the way out to prevent anyone from gaining a level, but my copy of the game loves to give me 3 or 4 of them. After beating Plant Brain about 16 times I only had 3 encounters with two: once when doing the practice run (figures) once when Zidane got killed (although I didn’t realize that three survivors will work too at the time) and once again for the final successful run.
I don’t know why the world map looks so terrible, but it’s my POS VCR’s fault. Well, there are no encounters on the world map while the nameplate is displayed which is nice, but you also can’t save until a few seconds after it disappears. =/

Because this challenge includes a speedrun AND a Low-Level-challenge at once (apart from getting as many treasures as possible).
Low-Level-challenge means - you can guess it - staying at Level 1 for the whole game.

nope
it takes too much time, and you would end getting E2 in around 14 hours instead of 12
i wanted to do it either, but i got pal
i suggest you to get the emulator and download the ntsc game, you’ll do it straight easy

idk if it helps but twice when I did this part I left zidane Koed. SO maybe the chances of encountering two increases slightly when zidane’s out.

AND get the iron …
AND get the iron helm from the plant brain! It is important because if Steiner doesn´t have the level up ability in the beginning, he will be weak later in the game. The same thing goes for Freya!

Yeah, you´re right. …
Yeah, you´re right. But it´s great to have the iron sword before you get to Dali if you aren´t aiming for a lvl 1 game! if you have the sword the battles are finnished very quickly, and you don´t have to reset all the time. And when i´m already leaving the lvl 1 game discussion; you should fight the spiders about five times, they give lots of exp and ap, which also makes the the battles go faster.

It still takes longer than just buying one… it’s not like Gil is scarce, even in a level one game.

I REALLY REALLY hate this. This is without a doubt my least favourite part of the perfect game challenge (though I do it without E2 due to PAL).
The reason being that the PAL version is even more unfair with handing out only 2 Plant Spiders.
