Ozzie's Fort
Time to finish off Ozzie and make Medina a happier place. If you visit Medina in 1000 A.D. right now, prices are sky-high and the villagers worship a statue of Ozzie. This quest fixes that - and nets you some of the best equipment in the game.
Quest Overview
- Time Period: 600 A.D.
- Bosses: Diva Flea, Super Slash, Ozzie the Great (solo and together)
- Key Items: Doom Scythe, Gloom Helm, Gloom Cape, Ozzie Pants, Slasher 2, Flea Bustier
- Recommended Party: Magus (for reactions) + Ayla (for charm)
- Gaspar's Hint: "A fugitive in the Middle Ages, Ozzie, maintains an evil hideout..."
Fort Walkthrough
The fort is a straight line - just push through. Bring Magus for Ozzie's hilarious reactions, and Ayla to charm the best equipment from the bosses.
Diva Flea
Super easy fight. Uses Heart/Fire (fire attack hitting all party members). You should have no trouble if your party is above level 30.
- Regular attacks finish this quickly
- No charm item from this version
After Diva Flea, there's an amusing scene where Ozzie sends his henchmen down pits via a moving platform. Poor Ozzie flees to the next stage.
Super Slash
Another super easy fight. Uses Slash/Lightning (lightning attack hitting all party members).
- Same as Flea Plus - just attack
- No charm item from this version
The Trapped Chest
In the room after Super Slash, Ozzie tempts you with an obviously trapped chest. Ignore it and head toward the exit. An Imp will attempt to take the treasure, triggering the trap. Ozzie flees in frustration.
Collect a Hi-Ether from the now-safe chest. Before leaving, check the bottom-right corner of the room - there's a hidden passage leading to a secret room with Magus's best equipment:
- Gloom Cape - Magus armor
- Gloom Helm - Magus helmet
- Doom Scythe - Magus weapon (2x damage with 1 ally dead, 3x with 2 allies dead)
- Magic Tab - In the corner of the secret room
The Trio Fight
Continue north and all three generals corner you for a proper fight. This is where you get the best charm items in the game.
Diva Flea, Super Slash, Ozzie the Great
A tricky fight. They use nasty triple techs like Delta Force. Every attack you make triggers individual counter-attacks from each of them.
- Priority 1: Have Ayla charm all three before anyone dies
- Keep healing until you have all three items
- Use Fire II (Magus/Lucca) or Flare for damage
- Find a rhythm: attack once, heal 2-3 times, repeat
- After charming, unload your best spells - they fall fast
After winning, grab the Speed Ring and Clarity Cap from the chests. Follow Ozzie north.
Ozzie's Last Stand
Ozzie the Great
Same fight as Magus's Castle. Ozzie hides behind an ice barrier and counters attacks with Barrier Bomber. He's immune to damage.
- You can charm a second pair of Ozzie Pants if you got the first one
- After 4,000 damage he becomes unselectable
- Just hit the switch behind him to end it quickly
Hitting the switch drops you back to the previous room. Return to Ozzie's room and a stray cat wanders in, hits the switch, and sends Ozzie falling into his own trap. The cat saved the day. This is one of seven side quests available after getting the flying Epoch.
Medina Transformed
Head to Medina in 1000 A.D. The village is now the most peaceful place on earth - they no longer despise humans. The Ozzie statue is gone. Ozzie's descendant (Ozzie VIII) is now bossed around by the imps instead of being elder.

Equipment Notes
Ozzie Pants: Offers the best helmet defense in the game, but you start every battle with Chaos status. You can't equip items to prevent this while wearing the pants. Yes, you wear his pants on your head.
Doom Scythe: Magus weapon that doubles in power when one ally is dead, and triples when two allies are dead. Situational but devastating.
