World 3: Sunken Tower of Walz

Once you leave the comfortable enclosure of your submarine you’ll have seven minutes to run from the tenth floor down to the first to fight the boss Famed Mimic Gogo. Along the way you’ll meet all manner of unnamed monsters, shadows of their normal selves. You should have enough time to fight them, but if you’re worried fleeing is a valid option. Each and every one of the monsters casts a blue magic spell either willingly or by controlling it. So if you’re missing any spell except Roulette, Flame Thrower, Mighty Guard, or Mind Blast you can attempt to learn it here.

The Great Plunge

Exit the tenth floor (this should all start looking familiar to you). From the door of the ninth floor turn right and drop through the hole to the north. Run south and exit the eighth floor. Swirl clockwise through the seventh floor. Continue straight south through the sixth floor. At the fifth floor take note of the chest to the left. It doesn’t contain treasure per se, but air to set your timer back at seven minutes. You can’t get to the treasure from the center of the fifth floor. Exit to the fourth floor. Remember this place? Where the king of Walse had fallen? Walk just to the left and descend the stairs into more murky filth. Climb up the vine to the left. Open the treasure chest for a giant gulp of air. Now, fall back down to the left and keep running through each floor. There’s nothing of note after the air. You’re just trying to get down to the first floor as quickly as possible.

hp: 47,714boss battle: Famed Mimic Gogo

You stand little chance of beating Gogo outright. He has almost 50,000 hp and hits often for 9,999 points of damage. That’s ok, the object of this battle is patience. You must have about two minutes left on the timer when the battle begins. Gogo launches into a diatribe and tells you exactly how to beat him: “If you do what I do, you’ll surely win.” The battle begins…and Gogo does absolutely nothing. So it follows suit that if you stand around and don’t do anything eventually you will win.

But if you’re not feeling pacifistic, you’re welcome to try your hand at the not-so-gentle mimic. One reason you may want to at least start the battle with an “attack” is to steal a Gold Hairpin. It’s a rare steal. Most often you’ll nab Leather Armor…and then get hit with an awful counterattack. If you persist and cast Return, you will eventually gain the helmet (be forewarned that the clock keeps ticking when you cast Return). Then stand and do nothing and eventually you’ll win the fight. I hope that everyone is standing when the fight ends so they all receive 50 abp.

I strongly dissuade you from even attempting to beat him through battle. I’m not sure if it’s possible, but when agitated, Gogo hurts. He can hit for 9,999 points of damage. He casts a plethora of nasty spells as well including Meteor, Flare, Holy, Flame and Maelstrom. Many of these hit for over 3,000 points of damage. Let me reiterate: you don’t want to tangle with him.

User Submitted Strategies

use the spellblade osmose with repid fire and dual-wield to reduce Gogo MP to 0. Defend with ice shield and phoenix down. Then storm him with meteors. You can defeat him with levels less than 30 and HP less than 1500 with this strategy with some luck!

Bartz & Faris, equip ability !drink !rapidfire Krile, equip !time !dualcast Lenna, equip !blue hp+30% The strategy is fairly simple, have all your character equip the best weapon especially faris and bartz. Have attacker equip elven cloak/mantle, and have caster equip protect ring & aegis shield. 1. Have Bartz & Faris drink hero pot, goliath tonic, iron draft. 2. Have Krile cast Hastega. 3. Have Lenna cast Mighty Guard and heal bartz & faris with white wind. 4. Bartz & Faris should have hp around 6.000. Start with Krile dual cast meteor and then bartz and faris !rapidfire. Gogo is gone, you can achieve that at level 42++.

When I tried to beat this guy by attacking, I died. When I tried again and casted Carbuncle on my party, I kept on using Holy, making him use Holy back, then on himself, and I thought I was going to win. THEN he scolded me for not mimicing right, and casted Meteo four times on my party. Then Odin started talking out of nowhere and said that that was far enough... then I got GameOver with 0:30 seconds to spare.

You probably can't beat Gogo ever, but you can at least try using this strategy. Make sure you have a Knight and all other guys have critical hp. Then make uruk hai warriors in gay fairy costumes.!!!!

you don't really have to defeat gogo by attacks or spells. the only thing you must do is to wait and do nothing at all. his first dialogue is the hint which 'sez "you will succeed only if you imitate me." and he does nothing at all in the first place, IF you strike him first.

If you have over 4.5 minutes left and have someone equiped with Time magic for Teleport, encounter him but don't attack at all. After some amount of time* he'll notice that you're mimicking him by doing nothing, and award you with the class. *(The waiting period varies, so try to have as much as you can or grab the treasure chest several floors above to restart the 7 minute timer)

If you deplete Gogo's hp, then it ets mad at you (and tells you that you arre doing it wrong)and casts Meteor on the entire party, giving an instant game over.

First, summon Carbunkle or cast Reflect on everyone. Cast Holy, Flare, things like that. Those will take out nice chunks of HP, and Gogo will cast spells back on to your party. Hence Carbunkle. He'll die in no time. Have fun =)

In case it wasn't obvious, a big help in getting through this area with haste is to have a theif, or equip the Sprint ability.

It IS possible to defeat that big, garishly-attired, N(X)-Zone-derived Daryl precursor. But it hurts. A LOT. As any intrepid player who has been handily smacked about by her might guess, chemist's abilities are VITAL. This battle generally requires Butz and Faris as its attackers, supported by the other two as back-up. Giant Drink, shell and haste are a must. Safe does no good against Gogo's armor-piercing 9999 attacks, as if she has time to hit you conventially, you are dead anyway. The items that increase the speed of the battle the most are Samson's Strength and Dragon Force, which allowed my sub-level 65 characters to attack wonderfully. I had (have) Butz and Faris attack with the Brave Blade and Ragnarok, Bothhand and X-fight, and after power-ups, Butz can do about 24,000 per attack. With Giant, Haste and Shell, on the occasion that I win, he is the only one left standing. From what I've experienced, all she drops is leather armor and perhaps a poor helmet (grnberet or tigrmask, if I recall correctly). Fun to see her dissipate, though.
