We try to leave the temple, but have to fight a boss before we can.
This boss can be tough, he uses moves like Demon's Rush that takes off around a thousand to people in the front row. Physical attacks do more damage than magic here, although Bahamut works fairly well. Make sure to have a healer here, also fight from the back row if you can (Long Range materia and such).
After the battle, Cait Sith makes a prediction and makes a sacrifice (somewhat).

We recruit some rather obscure characters.
New Recruits:
Pesmerga - Mysterious hunter looking for Yuber. Appears where Neclord was after Neclord is defeated.
Crowley - Mysterious magician. Hiding in a secret room in Qlon Temple. Can only be recruited once the base is at final stage.
Clive - Mysterious drifter. Randomly appears at the inn at Rikon. Seems to appear more frequently once the base is at its final stage.
Leon - Strategist related to Mathiu. In order to recruit you must talk to him once the castle is at its largest, and then go back and talk to Mathiu, who will give you a letter to send to him. Take the letter back to Leon.")
