| 7 | Save one last time, return through the farming corridor, and stop before approaching the central structure beyond the far door. |
I usually walked this corridor for a while, getting more and more powerful. In one wonderfully excessive run, everyone was over level 85 with every Skill and Ether before I went on. Around level 45 is enough for a comfortable finish if your equipment and abilities are in order.
Once you approach the central structure, the final sequence begins and there is no more ordinary exploration. Take a breath, make sure you actually saved, and then go ruin Albedo’s evening.
