The Big Bridge

Overview
Final Fantasy V Crossover Event

This is an exploration event which requires no farming. Simply clear all stages to obtain all the rewards. You can't use Lapis revive to continue after being defeated in any of the stages. There are no chests and the exploration map is a straight line, shared between all stages, with the second half exclusive to the ELT version.

Story
The great warlock with the power of the Void... The pathway known as the Big Bridge was the only way to get to his shrine.

This is where four warriors took a stand, facing off against the most evil of magi.

The man to avenge these fallen warriors was a strange-but-friend swordsman. Through the so-called encounter with this man, Rain and his gang come face-to-face with evil and the thoughts and feelings which remain.

Now it's off to the dimensional vortex, where they are to encounter "him" once again.

Treasure Map
Note: The Big Bridge exploration consists of a long straight path without any chest. No treasure map is necessary.

A basic map of the static encounters on ADV can be found here: Map of ADV encounters

Battle Info
Note: Encounters are static, but they are placed all over the map. To fight all encounters you have to canvas the entire bridge.

Gilgamesh (ELT)
Abilities:


 * Protect: Increase DEF to caster - Used once at 50% HP
 * Shell: Increase SPR to caster - Used once at 50% HP
 * Jump: Physical damage with delay (1 turn) to one enemy - Used when lower than 50% HP
 * Goblin Punch: Physical damage to one enemy
 * Electrocute: Lightning physical damage to all enemies
 * Wind Slash: Wind physical damage to all enemies

Strategy:


 * Keep Barthundara and Baraerora up, alternatively use Omni-Veil or Rainbow Veil
 * You can't kill him in 1 turn, as soon as he gets to 50% HP his HP will stop decreasing and he will use Protect, Shell and Jump
 * You can Poison and Blind him so take advantage of that to make this fight easy

Abilities:


 * Wind Slash: Wind physical damage to all enemies
 * Launch: Physical damage to one unit
 * Death Claw: Physical damage and Paralyze to one unit
 * Missile: Physical damage and Blind to one unit
 * Vendetta: Increase ATK/DEF (50%) for 2 turns to caster
 * Weapon Regen: Dispel to caster
 * X Slash: Physical damage to all enemies - Used the turn after Vendetta
 * Gilgamesh Transform: More aggressive AI - Used once below 70% HP

Strategy:


 * Keep Baraerora up, alternatively use Omni-Veil or Rainbow Veil
 * During this second battle, you can kill him in one turn if you are strong enough.
 * He will use Weapon Regen at the start of his turn if he has any debuff applied to him so you will have to break him every turn
 * You should dispel Vendetta with Dispel, Fingersnap or Holy Torch. Or, simply use a break skill (such as Full Break), which will cause him to use Weapon Regen at the beginning of his next turn, thus dispelling the buffs.
 * Keep yourself buffed, keeping skills like Protectga, Embolden or Cheer up is extremely important
 * Gilgamesh is human so Man-Eater affects him, stack it using Diabolos and the Thorned Mace for extra damage.
 * If you and your friend have Elza, use Ravaging Blow and use as many limit breaks as possible. Cloud of Darkness is also helpful too.

Guide

 * You can't use Lapis revive to continue after being defeated in any of the stages
 * Bring a Tent and recovery items, especially Unicorn Horn and Eye Drops. Equip accessories that can resist paralyze for the second Gilgamesh fight.
 * There are two bridges on ELT, Gilgamesh second fight only happens in ELT and it starts before the end of the second bridge with no warning, if you want to use a Tent before him keep this in mind and try to use it early
 * On BGN, INT, ADV, and PRO, Gilgamesh will jump on half of his HP. Set all members to defend to reduce the damage he does.
 * You can't escape random battles, but you can clear most of them chaining Thundaga
 * Neo Garula has 100% lightning resistance so you will need to use other abilities to defeat him
 * Bring items to recover MP (Ether, Turbo Ether, Mega Ether, Elixir) and Osmose)
 * Gilgamesh doesn't resist break abilities, so any break, Crush Armor, and Ravaging Blow are useful.
 * Bring Baraerora and Barthundara, alternatively Omni-Veil or Rainbow Veil if you have them
 * Gilgamesh has very strong physical damage so bring buffs that will increase your defense like Embolden, Cheer, Protectga or Guard Order.
 * If you are having trouble keeping up with the damage you can always bring two healers, remember to use a tank to help covering your weaker units
 * The Party of 5 or less challenge counts your companion, so if you are having trouble with it you can always take away one of your units and bring a strong friend to help increasing your damage
