Final Fantasy 16 ep 21 Akashic Dragon, Typhon the Transgressor, Ultima Threatens, Cid's Sacrifice

We head in to the Mother Crystal proper in our quest to destroy it. Along the way we fight more Magitek constructs like what we found in Phoenix Gate. After fighting our way to the Crystal we are confronted by an Akashic Dragon. It's a pretty awesome fight against a giant beastie. After putting down the guardian we find a giant crystal spike that tethers the Mother to the earth. Cid goes full prime to Ramuh and shatters the tether. Confirming my suspicion about a parasite, a dark god opens a portal and attacks us for shattering the link. Cid is mortally wounded and it falls to Clive to give in to Ifrit and fight off this Eldritch horror. We have a bunch of really cool fights with different phases of the monster. After defeating Typhon the Transgressor the real threat appears. A being named Ultima claims that Clive is a vessel for him and tries to posses us. Cid claims to know who Ultima is and saves us in the nick of time. His wounds are mortal and his last act is to bestow us with the gift of Ramuh. Not actually dead, Ultima comes back and attempts to kill us. Suddenly Joshua appears and confronts Ultima, seemingly absorbing him and saving us. Without his power keeping it up the Mother Crystal falls. Then we cut to the Hideaway where Titan and his troops are slaughtering our friends. Rather abruptly we cut to 5 years later. Clive and Jill are undercover in Dahlmekia. They have set a trap for us by abusing bearers. Trap or no, we are going to free those folks. After mopping the floor with some soldiers we fight a huge war panther. Freed, but not safe, the bearers curse us for putting them into danger in the first place. The bonds of slavery are just as strong in their minds. We end by returning to the Hideaway, which looks totally different. We will explore it next time!
