Time Compression Field
After defeating Adele and entering the time compression phenomenon at Lunatic Pandora, the party passes through a surreal dimension characterized by shifting rooms and a save point room. The party must battle through waves of mysterious sorceresses from different eras before reaching the final transition into Ultimecia's future. Once the consecutive battles are won, Squall and the team emerge outside Ultimecia's Castle on an altered world map.
Enemies
Fought in waves of five; very low HP and attacks with basic physical hits or weak magic
Appears as a single hovering sorceress; casts stronger offensive elemental spells
Resembles a massive segmented serpent sorceress; casts powerful spells and begins a five-turn countdown to cast Ultima before dying
Tips
- Junction high Magic defense or cast Shell during the third Sorceress form to survive its dying cast of Ultima if you cannot defeat it before the countdown finishes.
- Use the save point in the strange room just before entering the final door, as you will face the consecutive Sorceress wave battles immediately upon stepping through.
