5.4 Hummingway Home
------------------------------

The Hummingway Home is located south of the Crystal Palace; it’s a cave inside an enclosure you must land the Lunar Whale in. Inside, you’ll see many Namingway look-a-likes. These ‘Hummingway’ just enjoy playing their flutes all the time and chilling out, I guess. Apparently one of them who was good at making nicknames decided to travel to Earth, and became the first Namingway.

Talk to one of the Hummingway (you’ll have to talk to all of them until you find the right one) and he’ll offer many rare goods to sell to your party. Here you can buy many items that were only available in chests throughout the whole game, like Ether 1 and 2s, Elixirs, Cabins, Bestiaries, and a new item, ‘Whistle’ (Gysahl Whistle). Using this item on the field can call upon the Fat Chocobo, anywhere.

However, these items are very expensive. You probably won’t afford but a few Ether 1s or 2s right now. But keep this place in mind for later, the goods offered here are too great to pass up.

5.5 Cave Bahamut
----------------------

West (or east....well, to the left or right) of the Crystal Palace is a circular mountain range, with a cave in a mountain in the middle (like an eye). Land on the top of this mountain range, above the steps leading down. Then go down them, and enter the cave (saving beforehand, of course). This is the Cave of Bahamut.

From the entrance, head down. At the spot that branches out to three directions south of the entrance, head down to reach a chest with a Genji (Genji Glove). Then go back up, and go right this time.

You should see a wall to your right. See that indentation on the upper part? Stand in it, and go right through a false wall. Then go up and right to reach a chest with a Genji (Genji Shield). Then follow the path through a ledge down to the stairs to the second basement.

In this floor, from the entrance, follow the path until you see a chest to the left of a column. Open it to receive Genji (Genji Armor). Continue right, and you should see a one space wide land bridge leading north. DON’T GO ACROSS IT YET. Instead, go right and open the chest with a Genji (Genji Helmet). Now go across the land bridge. As you try and cross, you’ll suddenly enter battle with a ferocious beast, the Behemoth.

--------------------------------
BOSS (sorta...): Behemoth
HP: 23,000
Experience Points: 57,000
Gil: 65,000
--------------------------------

Yeah, this thing is mean. Not only does it have a whole bunch of HP, but it hits hard too. Fortunately, it only counterattacks. This means you can cast Armor and Blink on your party members to increase their defense before moving in on the attack. Use Rosa and FuSoYa for this, but you may not have to cast it on your mages in the back row. That’ll really cut down the damage from the Behemoth’s attacks. After you’ve done that, use Edge and Cecil to attack the beast. If your party gets weak, put Rosa and FuSoYa on healing duty. Remember, just use Parry if a party member is of no use. Rydia won’t be important for this, as the Behemoth has a high resistance to magic, and it’ll even counterattack magic, making it not worth it in the long run. And also, take note, if you cast Holy on the Behemoth, it’ll retaliate with ‘Storm’, a spell that’ll reduce all your characters’ HP to single digits! So try avoiding that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that dreadful fight, your party may be worn out. Warp outside and rest inside the Lunar Whale, then return. Your party may be worn out quite often, even from the normal encounters. What’s even worse, is that you’ll have to fight even more Behemoths on every land bridge throughout this cave! Fortunately, you’ll only have to fight them once, and they won’t attack again.

Once you defeat the first Behemoth and have rested, continue up from that first land bridge. Go down the stairs to the third basement.

At the entrance of the third basement, just continue down the land bridge below you. Fight the next Behemoth. Then, after that, follow the long land bridge until you’re before an altar. The part of the bridge right before the altar hosts the third and final Behemoth. After defeating it, you may go outside and rest and save again.

Afterwards, head on up to this altar. You’ll see a boy and a girl standing below it, and they have some pretty funny text boxes. Climb the stairs to talk to a strangely dressed man.

Depending on what you’ve done earlier, one of two things might happen. If you haven’t defeated Leviathan yet, the man will tell you to leave. If you have, however, he’ll say that it still proves nothing. He announces that he, Bahamut, the God of Summons, will decree the final judgement.

--------------------
BOSS: Bahamut
--------------------

HP: 45,001
Experience Points: 35,000
Gil: 0
--------------------
Like with Odin, this fight too is a race against time. When the countdown reaches zero, Bahamut will unleash his ultimate attack, Mega Flare, which will annihilate your party. However, again like Odin, the library in the Town of Summons has the clue to defeating him. A book in the library said that the only way to defeat Bahamut was to reflect his power back at him. So, it’s time to put those Star and Moon Veils to work. Have Rosa and FuSoYa cast Wall on themselves, and have Rydia, Edge, and Cecil use Star and Moon Veils on themselves. Then, your party should all have the ‘Wall’ status on themselves. Now, when Bahamut unleashes MegaFire (should be ‘Mega Flare’), it’ll bounce off your party and deal 9,999 damage to himself! Just keep hitting him with all you got (normal attacks, Leviathan, Holy, and so on) and he’ll go down without problem.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bahamut will compliment the party’s spirit and strength, and allow Rydia to summon him anytime. Rydia will then learn the Summon magic, ‘Bahamut’. Now exit this cave and rest up in the Lunar Whale. Save as well. That’s all there is to do on the moon, so let’s hurry back to Earth and stop Zemus’ evil plot! When you're ready, examine the Crystal inside the Big Whale and return to Earth.
