Because the dungeon is tuned for the minimum item level of 42, but only synced to level 50 (effective item level 130), it is speed-run as fast as possible. Most mechanics are skipped, and all the enemies that can be are pulled at once.

With the magitek field now out of commission, the path to the Ultima Weapon lies open. While the Immortal Flames sweep Castrum Meridianum and suppress the remnants of the enemy garrison, you and your comrades must fight your way to the innermost sector of the Praetorium, there to locate and destroy the Ultima Weapon. Cid's airship, the Enterprise, will bear you to the stage of the final confrontation.
