Master 100% checklist (PR)
- Story: Neo Exdeath defeated; clear save made
- All four crystal job batches unlocked and key jobs mastered
- Blue Magic library complete (or as complete as PR encounters allow)
- Sealed weapons claimed after all tablets
- Chicken Knife or Brave Blade decision resolved
- Optional: Omega defeated
- Optional: Shinryu defeated
- No GBA Sealed Temple content expected
Rift floors — order of march
- Enter the Void black hole on the merged overworld (Tycoon waters / marked hole).
- Desert section → Ruins → Forest → Cave → Library (no fights) → Tower → final approach.
- Each zone has chests and bosses (Apanda, Calofisteri, Azulmagia, Catastrophe, Halicarnassus, Twintania, etc.).
- Open every chest; none are permanently missable once you are here (you can clear-save and return after credits on PR).
- Gilgamesh may appear one last time as ally or obstacle depending on scene — enjoy it.
PR clear save: After beating the game you can reload before the final fight to mop up Rift chests and superbosses. Use it.
Omega & Shinryu
- Omega: mechanical terror in the Rift. Extremely high defense; use Armor-breaking strategies, !Rapid Fire + !Dual-Wield, or Blue Magic cheese (Level-based spells if levels match). Not required for credits.
- Shinryu: dragon superboss, often in a chest ambush. Mighty Guard, full buffs, massive damage. Optional 100% flex.
- Both are easier with fully mastered Freelancer/Mime kits and sealed weapons.
Exdeath → Neo Exdeath
- First form: large tree warlock patterns you saw before — Haste, Spellblade, Dualcast Firaga/Holy.
- Neo Exdeath: multi-part final form. Dispel buffs on him; keep Shell/Protect; revive instantly.
- Rapid Fire dual-wielders delete parts; mages Dualcast Curaga / damage.
- Mix / Goliath strategies trivialise PR if Chemist is mastered.
- Win: Void sealed; watch credits; make the clear save.
The crystals rest
Four freelancers who became every job at once saved two worlds by mastering a menu. That is Final Fantasy V.
