Deling City - Parade Route
During the presidential parade, Squall's party and Quistis's team execute General Caraway's plot to trap and assassinate Sorceress Edea. Quistis must escape Caraway's mansion and navigate the sewers, while Squall and Irvine make their way through the Arch to shoot the Sorceress from the clock tower. After Irvine fires the sniper rifle, Squall drops onto the parade float to fight Seifer and Edea directly.

Tips
- Equip the Reflect or Shell spell to your party's Junctions, or cast Carbuncle immediately in the final battle to blunt Edea's dangerous target-magic barrage.
- Be sure your Junctions and magic are properly distributed to Squall and Irvine before entering the final clock tower sequence, as major boss battles trigger back-to-back.
