The tournament in Cygnus' square offers a true challenge. The first of the non-human opponents is just a giant bear, something that can be dealt with if you have the patience to grin and push forward. But the Mist Spider that follows it is all levels of peach pit crazy.
It does 120-150 HP of damage per hit and always seems to hit twice. It takes up the whole field and then some, so Aht's "Bomb" techniques cannot be used. Overall it's something that simply overwhelmed level 41 Stocke and level 35 Aht. So, the game's regular story was picked up.
Not that doing so was enough to escape field-filling spiders.
After you find Eruca in the dungeons, Marco and Raynie appear, having simply walked in since the guard was gone.
Gone to help fend off four fully grown Hell Spiders!
Likely a diminutive cousin of the Mist Spider, this beast is all orange and brown, and packs a wallop. With Raynie's magic and Marco's miscellaneous skills, though, bringing it down was no cause for concern. Especially since it had the nerve to waste turns with a move that reduced the party's speed - a strategy that seems utterly pointless since the game's major battle mechanic is the ability to shuffle around the turn order.
So, needless to say, the spider was put in its place, and a new chapter of the Standard History was opened up. When Radiant Historia moves, it moves fast.
