Final Fantasy Record Keeper Labyrinth Dungeons Clears Part 2
In the Final Fantasy Record Keeper (FFRK) mobile game, there are still a lot of fights in the Labyrinth Dungeons that I have yet to clear.
After hearing the news that Final Fantasy Record Keeper was gonna end its service on September 29, 2022 (I talk more about that in another post), I wanted to finish as much of FFRK’s content as I can.
I know it doesn’t really matter, but still. For now, I don’t want to say goodbye to Final Fantasy Record Keeper yet. Heck, I wish this game didn’t have to end, at least not anytime soon.
Anyway, so I started going through the Labyrinth Dungeons, checking each quest and looking to see which ones I’ve already cleared. Will try to do the ones that I haven’t cleared yet. Also trying to see if I can sub-30 these fights.
Labyrinth Dungeons Info
The Labyrinth Nexus fights in the Labyrinth Dungeons come in 2 quest levels - 580 and 650.
There are fights that require you to bring a Final Fantasy realm team and fights that require either physical or magical elemental teams.
Labyrinth Nexus S4, Part 3 Info
The boss of this fight is called Taharka. Final Fantasy 9 chars get Record Synergy for these fights.
Depending on the number of chars with Record Synergy in your party, your chars will be able to deal more damage and the damage that Taharka deals will be lessened.
If you bring a char with no Record Synergy (a.k.a an off-realm char), their damage will be reduced. Having at least 4 FF9 chars is recommended for this fight.
Quest Level 650 Taharka Fight
The first time I tried clearing the quest level 650 Final Fantasy IX Taharka fight was a long time ago.
And the only reason I bothered to take on this quest back then was because we got a Labyrinth Dungeons campaign. This included time-limited missions that required players to clear some of the Labyrinth Dungeons quests in order to get some rewards.
For this fight, my team was:
Zidane Tribal from Final Fantasy IX
Kuja from Final Fantasy IX
Eiko Carol from Final Fantasy IX
Vivi Ornitier from Final Fantasy IX
Cait Sith from Final Fantasy VII (#ad)
Zidane, Kuja, and Vivi served as my DPS. Eiko was my healer. Cait Sith was my support and buffer. He can heal too. He’s the premier support for mages and mind-based attackers.
Kuja and Vivi deal magical damage while Zidane deals physical damage. Kuja’s element is dark, Vivi’s is lightning and ice, and Zidane’s is wind.
It’s been a long time since I did this fight so don’t remember all the exact details about how it went anymore. But IIRC, when I took on Taharka, only had 1 Awakened Arcane Soul Break (AASB) for Zidane. Now I have 2.
For Vivi, had his ice and lightning AASB and his ice and lightning Synchro Arcane Soul Break (SASB). Now, IIRC, I also have his fire AASB.
For Kuja, only had one of his AASB. Now I also have his Dual Awakening Soul Break (DASB).
For Eiko, IIRC, had her Sync and now also have her AASB. For Cait Sith, have all of his most relevant relics, including his Sync and AASB. Honed his AASB to the max so it can be used twice per fight instead of just once.
Since my Final Fantasy IX realm team was so lacking, wasn’t really surprised that I failed to win against Taharka. At least I actually managed to get pretty far. Was able to get Taharka down to 54.1% HP before all my chars died.
IIRC, this was enough to get me some of the time limited rewards associated with this quest. You get all the rewards if you beat Taharka.
If you’re able to deal at least 30% or more damage to Taharka, then you get 1 Realm/Elemental x11 ticket. If you’re able to deal at least 60% or more damage to Taharka, then you get 1 mythril.
After that, my plan was to wait until I can get more and better relics before trying this fight again. Unfortunately, never got ‘round to taking on Taharka again. And now I’ll never be able to because it’s all over now.
Final Fantasy Record Keeper just ended its service. Was hoping to be able to try the Taharka fight again before the end but unfortunately, wasn’t able to.
Labyrinth Nexus S3, Part 5 Info
The boss of this fight is called Hell House. Final Fantasy VII chars get Record Synergy for these fights.
Quest Level 580 Hell House Fight
I’ve already cleared the quest level 580 version of the Final Fantasy VII Hell House fight before. I talk more about that in another post.
Then we got another Labyrinth Dungeons campaign. This happened way before FFRK gave its end of service announcement. And this was different from the campaign mentioned above with the Taharka fight.
Anyway, one of the time-limited missions for this particular campaign wanted us to master 2 Labyrinth Nexus fights with a difficulty of 580 in order to get 1 mythril.
Since I’d already cleared the quest level 580 Hell House fight, I would have preferred to try a different Labyrinth Nexus quest but - well, it’s been a while so don’t remember anymore exactly what happened.
Maybe I didn’t have enough time to try out a different fight. Maybe I just felt like doing the Hell House fight again. Whatever the reason, I ended up taking on the quest level 580 version of Hell House again.
My team was:
Genesis Rhapsodos from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII
Barret Wallace from Final Fantasy VII
Vincent Valentine from Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII
Aeris or Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII
Genesis served as my main DPS. Sephiroth and Vincent were my secondary ones. Barret was my support and buffer although he can deal a bit of damage as well.
He and Vincent were also in chage of lowering the enemy’s resistance to the fire element so my DPS can deal more damage.
Aerith served as my healer. She can also speed up the party and reduce the delay of their physical attacks.
Genesis, Sephiroth, Barret, and Vincent deal physical fire elemental damage. Well, Sephi has dark relics too but I’m using him as a fire DPS for this fight. My plan is to only use his dark-type Soul Breaks once I’ve already used up all of his fire BDL relics.
Vincent is a hybrid DPS so he can deal either physical or magical damage depending on how he’s geared and which stat is currently higher.
Have multiple BDL relics for the aforementioned chars. And my Final Fantasy VII Historia Crystal is at the max level of 120.
Since this fight is only quest level 580 and since my FF7 realm team is pretty stacked, this battle was pretty easy. Was able to get the win in 26.75 seconds.
Don’t remember anymore what other Labyrinth Nexus I did but I was able to get the mythril reward for mastering 2 quest level 580 fights.
Labyrinth Nexus S2, Part 1 Info
The boss of this fight is called Snow Giant. He is weak to the fire element. There are 2 versions of him, one that’s weak to physical fire and another that’s weak to magical fire. Well, there are 4 versions of him if you’re also counting the 2 quest levels.
Physical-Weak Quest Level 580 Snow Giant Fight
Decided to take on the physical-weak, quest level 580 version of Snow Giant with the following team:
Genesis Rhapsodos from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII
Barret Wallace from Final Fantasy VII
Aeris or Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII
Balthier (Ffamran mied Bunansa) from Final Fantasy XII
Balthier served as my fire Chain Soul Break (CSB) holder. Didn’t need him for the Hell House fight since we can just use the Final Fantasy VII Roaming Warrior realm Chain. Also have Barret’s FF7 Chain if needed.
Balthier deals physical fire damage and he can help imperil the fire element. Aside from his Chain, also have a few of his Soul Breaks, including one of his Awakenings.
Did this fight a few days or so before the end of Final Fantasy Record Keeper. By then was really rushing and trying to finish as much of FFRK’s content as possible.
I really wish we had more time so I’d have been able to do more. As it was, unfortunately wasn’t able to finish everything in FFRK. I talk more about that in another post.
Anyway, was able to clear the quest level 580 Snow Giant fight in 25.80 seconds. Just like the quest level 580 Hell House fight, the quest level 580 version of Snow Giant was pretty easy.
And my physical fire elemental team is really good. By now, also have new relics for some of the chars on my fire team. And they all have their Hero Equipment and Hero Abilities and such.
Genesis Rhapsodos from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Relics and Stats List
Currently, Genesis is my absolute, most fave Final Fantasy VII char. He’s the reason why I started playing Final Fantasy Record Keeper. Have all of his relics and he’s as fully built as possible.

Since the game was about to end already anyway, went ahead and fully honed all of Genesis’s Soul Breaks that can be honed instead of waiting until I get more dupes. I talk more about that in another post.
Other than that, Genesis is already fully maxed out in every way. Well, except with regards to his Magia Crystals. But that’s always been a slow-going process.
I thought that I’d always have time and that I’ll eventually be able to max out all of Genesis’s Magia Crystals but unfortunately, now that FFRK is ending soon, that’ll never happen anymore.
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII Relics List
Have the following relics for Sephiroth:
Limit Break Chain (LBC), Woven Bond: Sephiroth - Dark

Yeah, I have basically all of Sephi’s relics. The only one I’m missing for him is his Dual Awakening Soul Break 1 (DASB1), Awoken Octaslash. I really hate that I wasn’t able to get this.
And it’s definitely not for lack of trying. When Sephiroth’s Dual first showed up in Final Fantasy Record Keeper, I tried pulling for it.
I talk more about that in this post, but the main point is that, sadly, no matter how many times I pulled on the banner said Dual was featured in, was never able to get it.
Went 10 pulls deep on that banner, spending hundreds of mythril, until I was all out, and yet I couldn’t even manage to get all the relics featured there.
Was really frustrated and annoyed about that. Still am, really. Eff the crappy, trashy rates on this game. And now that FFRK is ending, I’ll never be able to get Sephiroth’s Dual. Sigh.
Aerith Gainsborough Relics List
Have the following relics for Aerith:
Dual Awakening Soul Break (DASB), Awoken White Materia
Awakened Arcane Soul Break 1 (AASB1), Star Pulse
AASB2, Planetary Pulse
Ultra Soul Break 1 (USB1), Hidden Bloom
USB2, Innocent Cure
Glint+ Soul Break 1 (G+1), Refreshing Breeze
G+2, Star Whisper

BSB2, Prayer of Salvation
Super Soul Break (SSB), Pulse of Life
Unique Soul Break, Planet Protector
Unique Soul Break, Fury Brand
Unique Soul Break, Dragon Force
Unique Soul Break, Healing Wind (VII)
Default Soul Break, Seal Evil
Legend Materia Relic (LMR), Flower of the Slums
Legend Materia 1, Daughter of the Ancients
Legend Materia 2, Motherly Protector
Was able to get all of Aerith’s relics, all except for her Synchro Arcane Soul Break (SASB), Blue-Eyed Sentinel. Too bad I was never able to get this before. And now I’ll never be able to because the game is ending already. Sigh.
Physical-Weak Quest Level 650 Snow Giant Fight
After taking on the quest level 580 version of Snow Giant, decided to try his quest level 650 version next.
I’d already tried this fight before. It was a long time ago, and IIRC, also only did so because there was another Labyrinth Dungeons campaign. This one included time-limited missions that required players to clear the Snow Giant quest.
Wasn’t able to get the win back then though. Only managed to deal 80.3% damage to Snow Giant before the fight ended. IIRC, my team was Genesis, Sephiroth, Barret, Balthier and Aerith.
Unsurprisingly, that was also my team when I revisited this quest. This time was able to get the win. My clear time was 42.15 seconds.
Too bad I missed out on the sub-30. Unfortunately, never got the chance to try this fight again before FFRK ended.
Anyway, one of the rewards that I got for clearing this quest was some Record Board tiles for some chars being unlocked. Too bad Genesis isn’t one of those chars.
Sephiroth is one of those chars though. And, IIRC, Vincent and Barret are included as well.
For Sephi, 2 Record Board tiles got unlocked. One is called Fire Harmony - Physical. Its effect is:
Increases physical fire damage by up to 5% based on the number of allies infused with the power of fire.
The second tile is called Dark Harmony - Physical. Its effect is:
Increases physical dark damage by up to 5% based on the number of allies infused with the power of the dark.
So I spent the resources needed to unlock these tiles for Sephiroth, Vincent, and Barret. I think Balthier got this too.
Can’t remember for sure anymore. Since Final Fantasy Record Keeper just ended, can’t double-check this info on my account anymore.
The only thing I know for sure is that Genesis doesn’t have these new tiles but Sephiroth does.
Genesis was supposed to eventually get these new tiles too but now that FFRK is all over, that will never happen. Sigh. It’s really unfortunate that a lot of things will never happen now. Really wish the game didn’t have to end.
Conclusion
