Temple of Lightning

To start, head up to a split with many paths. Watch out for the
electricity, you'll take damage if it hits you. At the fork you will see
three paths straight ahead out you, take the left path. At the end
examine the lightning rod to activate it. Go back down and take the
right path. Activate this lightning rod as well. Return to the fork and
take the centre path. As you step on the button lightning should
strike the pedestal on the right rather than the one in front of you.
Since you can keep moving ahead now, deactivate the lightning rod.
Go back down and deactivate the one on the right. Now when you
return to step on the switch lightning will hit the left rod since it is the
only one active and destroy the box in your path. Go back to the left
path and continue on to a pedestal, and change the function of your
Sorcerer's Ring.
Back at the fork in the middle of the room, head East all the way down to the end. Now that you can shoot electricity with your Sorcerer's Ring, you can destroy the two boxes up the North path. Do so and avoid the electricity to get the Silver Guard. Take the West path at the fork this time and head up to save your game. Finally now you can take the middle path up, past the switch in the floor to the next room. Before going forward, proceed up either the stairs on the left or the right to the very top. There will be three boxes stacked on top, each of a different colour. You can destroy the bottom box with your ring, so do it. Return to the ground and proceed forward, through the box and into the door. In this large room take the stairs up to your left and into the door. You will have to navigate slowly here to avoid falling off the edge, but it's not too hard. When you reach the top go in the door, and then into the next door below you. Run along to the end of the path but don't touch the lightning rod yet. First use your Sorcerer's Ring to break open the box floating on your right to drop a treasure chest. Now examine the lightning rod. When you drop grab the EX Gem Lv3 and head around to the other side. Do the same thing here for a Duel Helm. Before you do it one more time run to the end of the path left to drop another treasure box down below that you can pick up later. Now return and shoot the box, dropping one final time for a Thunder Scepter. Now activate the lightning rod in the centre, it now attracts the lightning instead of the one in the bottom of the room. Now go it the door. This one's a little more challenging than the last one. Follow the path until you come to the point where you go down a set of stairs. Here, instead of going up the ones on your left at the bottom, head to the right and go up to find a hidden treasure box. Just move slowly until you see the "Examine" icon at the bottom right of your screen. Grab the spirit and then fall off the edge on purpose. You're now in the room just before the main room, go back into the door at the North. Now you can take the stairs down to the bottom of this room without any risk. When you get down deactivate the lightning rod and go up the set of stairs on the right to examine the pedestal and change the function of your Sorcerer's Ring for a second time. You now have the ability to destroy yellow boxes. Go back up and head back down and into the door back South out of the room. In here climb the stairs on the left, and destroy the two yellow blocks as you go, however don't go in the door. Proceed to the top again to destroy the yellow box now sitting at the bottom of the large stack. When you go back down, take the right path and go into the door leading East out of the room. Follow the dark path to the top of the room and exit, here you will be able to destroy the yellow block and drop the pedestal down to a lower section of the room. Return to the dark room and fall on purpose. From here go back to the first hall of the temple. Run to the West at the fork again and save your game. You'll notice below you, you can now destroy the two yellow blocks and grab the Shining Star. Once you have it run all the way back to the large main room, two maps North. Now if you go up to the right, you'll notice the machine now has a lightning rod on top of it, examine the machine to activate the rod. Now head up the stairs on the far left, taking the EX Gem Lv2 from the treasure box you dropped and navigating through the dark room. When you reach the top go up the small set of stairs and across the bridge to the right, then down and into the door. Once again another dark room to go through. When you reach the bottom head up the path and deactivate the lightning rod there. This will leave the one on the machine as the only one remaining, so it will have power restored. Return to the dark room and make your way back up and out the door. Now instead of crossing the bridge, take the small stairs and run back to the machine. Once you've examined it, do not start the machine otherwise you'll be struck by a bolt of lightning. The machine works by sending a current up that moves along the connectors on the wall. These connectors are held up by yellow bricks that you can break. Start by going up the stairs just below you. Now on this path there is a set of stairs you can ascend on each level, climb the first and defeat the enemy to receive the memory gem. Continue to climb until you are on the very top row. Destroy the two yellow boxes on the far left, then head back down to activate the machine. Ignore the box that falls for now. Now venture up the second highest floor. Destroy the two blocks on the left here as well as the remaining two on the highest floor. Then return to the bottom and activate the machine a second time. Go down the newly created ramp and up the stairs to obtain a Battle Cloak from the box you dropped. Head down two flights of stairs and into the door to find yourself just above the water section. Now examine the pedestal to make the final change to your Sorcerer's Ring. You can now destroy red blocks. Make your way up the stairs and the ramp back to the dark room, where you should just fall on purpose. Go out the South door here and down to the fork in the first room. Taking the East path this time will take you to a split with red blocks below you. Destroy them and grab the EX Gem Lv3. Now return to the middle room, where you landed after falling. Take the stairs to the left and enter the door that used to have yellow blocks in front of it. This is the most challenging darkness room so take your time. At the top, destroy the red blocks and take the Power Greaves. Go back in the door and fall on purpose. Now take the North exit, use your memory gem and save your game. Your final task in the room South of the save point is to make your way to the top and destroy the final red block on what used to be a stack of three. Activate the lightning rod and prepare for a scene. Watch the scene, then of course at the end...
A lot of people find this boss extremely difficult, so I'll try to be as helpful as I can. Begin the fight by turning off all spells for Genis' except for Spread. Make absolutely sure Sheena is not equipped with the Card of Lightning, otherwise she will only heal him with her attacks, this could make the boss seem very hard if you don't notice it's happening. As for the boss fight itself, Tempest techs work great with Lloyd. Always be ready with items on hand and be sure to keep a close eye on your character's Hp and Tp at all times. There aren't a lot of cheap tricks to use here, your proficiency with your characters combos is what makes all the difference, give Volt as little chance to attack as possible. Following this event there will be another scene, and the new title "Summoner" for Sheena. Now take your leave of this temple. Now embark from the dock again and look at your map. You can see the large white island surrounded with little islands. Well your destination is hidden among all the little islands right about in the middle of the lower left (Southwestern) side. Look around and you'll eventually find it. | |||||
