HAY GUYS

I'm making this thread because of the current rage I am in in trying to find an Iron Golem in Final Fantasy I. Seriously, I've been looking for the past 4 hours to find an Iron Golem in order to complete my Beastiary. Like, it's not a problem for those who don't intend to master a game, but for those who do, do you guys get really pissed off when you can't find something because the game designers thought it'd be cute setting the encounter chance to some miniscule number that has you running around in circles for 2 hours before you find what you're looking for? This is just infuriating. I've leveled up about 13 times looking for this thing and I still haven't found it yet. And considering the time it takes to level in this game, this has gone on just too long.

So, any stories of finding the impossible?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

HA! Finally found that bitch! Ugh....that took way too long to find one monster. But at least now all I have to do to master the game is to kick Chaos's ass, which shouldn't be too hard since I leveled up to the maximum level before finding the Iron Golem.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Iron Golem can be found on in the Temple of Chaos, B4 Floor. This is supposedly the ONLY place it appears and it occupies the rarest encounter on the floor (like 1 / 255 I think)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ah yes, the Pink Tail, that really is hell. Not nearly as bad as 1/255 for each, the chance of encounter is 1 / 64 and the chance of drop is 1 / 64 as well, bringing you chance of getting a Pink Tail to 1 / 4096. Similarly with the Iron Golem in my first post, they can be found in one room and one room only.
