Hello, and welcome to my Final Fantasy IX™ unofficial strategy
guide/FAQ. Final Fantasy IX™ is one of the greatest RPGs EVER, in my
humble opinion. It combines classic RPG gameplay from yesteryear, and
combines it with lovable characters who are memorable and
unforgettable, state-of-the-art graphics and CG (computer
graphics...aka FMV), and a stunning score which makes the game feel so
great to play. The battle system is classic Final Fantasy™, with
Squaresoft's touch that can never be duplicated. Final Fantasy IX™ is
better then Chrono Cross™, but just barely. They both have awesome
gameplay, great graphics, and a terrific score, as well as memorable
characters, but Final Fantasy IX™ just has that "old school" feel to
it, with all of the dragons, castles, princesses, Moogles, and even
flying airships. If you liked the old Final Fantasy™ games like Final
Fantasy IV™ or Final Fantasy VI™, then I strongly recommend Final
Fantasy IX™. Hell, there are even some parts of Final Fantasy IX™ that
closely resemble Final Fantasy I™! Oh, and there are some references to
the other PlayStation™ Final Fantasy™ games, like one to Final Fantasy
VII™, when you can find a "flower girl" in a certain area of the
game...
The Part which you are reading right now (Part I), contains everything
that someone might need to play the game. It has the complete
walkthrough for the game, all of the shop information, as well as
character information and some tips & tricks for your game. If you just
wanted to beat the game straight through, then this is the document
that you would want to read. However, if you would like to see all of
the little details of the game, and even all of the smaller things in
the game, then read Part II of this FAQ.

| N O T I C E: |
| If you have any questions about Final Fantasy IX™, check the |

| then e-mail me. But a word of warning: If your question CAN be found|

of a hassle to type up some walkthrough, then scroll down to the Shops

of the document to update the Mognet Letters section or ATEs section,
and so on, so I decided to split the guide up into two parts. One
focusing on the main things you want to know while playing the game
(walkthrough, shops info., status effects), while the second part
contains "everything else" that is not necessary to beat the game,
but is very good to know (items/weapons/armor, abilities, 'extras' like

"Here" Icon: This icon is in the shape of a hand (in a white glove), and will
guide your character on the Field Screen. This helps to show
the position of your character on the Field Screen. This feature
can be manually shut on or off on the Configure Menu.
Saving your game: There are two ways that you can save your game in Final
Fantasy IX: Either save your game on the World Map anytime
by summoning a Moogle, or locating a Moogle on the Field
Map. Moogles are those tiny, cat-like animals that are
usually in key-areas in the game, where it's a good idea
to save your game before moving on. When you talk to the
Moogle, you have a few choices on what to do:
Save: Saves your game.
Tent: Allows you to heal the HP and MP of your current
party, if you have a Tent item.
Mognet: Allows Moogles to communicate, and will let
your character deliver letters between
Moogles.
Cancel: Lets you leave the Moogle.
"!" Icon: This icon appears above an area where there is an Item that can be
picked up on the Field Screen. If you happen to come across an
important item, a "!" will pop-up, indicating there is an item at
that spot. This is awesome, because it makes finding extra stuff
like Gil and healing items easier to find than in previous games.
ATB (Active Time Battle): Time during battle is managed by the ATB system.
There are 2 ATB modes: Active and Wait. You can
select them in the Configure Menu:
-ATB Mode-
Active Always real-time (time never stops during
battle).
Wait Time stops while you are selecting Magic and
items.
Wait is better suited for beginners (novices), while
Active is more for advanced players.
Damage Points: Numbers and details pop up during battle whenever your HP and
MP change. Numbers appear in 2 different colors:
-Damage Points-
9999 HP Change:
White numbers indicate damage.
Green numbers indicate HP recovery.
9999 MP Change:
White numbers indicate loss.
Green numbers indicate MP recovery.
-Damage Details-
Miss When an attack misses.
Critical When you deal greater damage than usual.
Death When you get KO'd.
Guard When status attacks and elemental attacks have no
effect.
Order Option: The Order Option involves not only the lineup but also the battle
position. There are 2 battle positions: Front row and back row.
-Front Row and Back Row-
Front Row You can deal big damage with Attack, but you can also
receive big damage.
Back Row You can only deal small damage with Attack, but you
receive less damage from attacks.
You can change this setting in the Option (Config Menu). You can
also switch between the front and back row during battle, by
selecting Change. If you use magic or long-range weapons, you
can deal just as much damage from the back row as you can from
the front row. In tough battles, adjusting battle posistions
appropriately might save your life.
Trance: When Trance occurs, the character transforms. Your power increases
while under Trance. In addition to greater attacking power, you
receive new battle commands. It's really amazing how much you can
change. Some facts about Trance:
-About Trance-
1. The Trance Gauge increases as you take hits from the enemy.
2. The Trance Gauge does not increase if you get hit by other party
members.
3. If you get afflicted by Zombie, the Trance Gauge goes down
completely.
4. When the Trance Gauge fills up completely, it's party time!
-Conditions that Stop/Prevent Trance-
1. End of a battle: Trance Gauge goes back down to zero.
2. During battle: Trance Gauge decreases to zero as you take actions
during battle.
The origin of Trance is hostility. The hostile energy of the enemy's
attacks induces Trance. That's why being attacked by your allies
can't cause Trance. There is also an ability that help you achieve
Trance faster. The Trance Gauge appears both in battle and in the
Status Menu, which is under the Main Menu. Unfortunately, not everyone
can achieve Trance.
Abilities: Abilities are special powers that all characters possess. Using them
wisely is the key to victory. There are tons of different abilites,
but gererally, they fall into 2 categories:
-Types of Abilites-
Action Abilites:
Magic and special moves you can use in battle; consume MP.
Support Abilities:
Special abilities that support you in battle (must equip magic
stones to use them).
You need MP to use magic and special moves. Maximum MP increases
as you level up. Support abilities must be equipped with magic
stones to be functional. Like MP, the maximum number of these
stones increases as you level up. The Main Menu shows 2 numbers
for magic stones: the remaining number and the maximum number.
-Magic Stones-
Remaining Number (Decreases as you Equip Support Abilites.)
|
@99/99
|
Maximum number (Increases as you level up.)
To set magic stones on support abilities, select Ability in the
Main Menu and select Equip. There are round slots next to each
support ability. The ability is equipped if a magic stone appears
inside the slot. The menu shows which support abilities have bee
equipped.
-Ability Status-
Shaded "O" Ability Name: Not Equipped.
Blue "0" Ability Name: Equipped.
In general, you have to equip items to learn abilities. Most items
hold special powers that help draw out your inborn abilities. You
could say the items work to free your latent abilities. Select
Equip in the Main Menu to check which abilities you can learn from
items. The abilities you cannot learn are grayed out.
-Which Abilities Can Be Learned?-
Red "0"-A (Ability Name): Ability that can be learned.
Blue "0"-S (Ability Name): Ability that can be learned.
Gray "0"-A (Ability Name): Ability that cannot be learned.
Gray "0"-S (Ability Name): Ability that cannot be learned.
Abilities can be used as soon as you equip them. However, they
cannot be used once you remove the item. To use abilities without
equipping items, you must learn them by gaining enough AP for
each ability. You can gain AP through battle.
-AP Gauge-
____________
Red "0"-A (Ability Name): |_______*_*_*|
____________
Blue "0"-S (Ability Name): |_______*_*_*|
The character has gained enough AP to use the ability
without equipping an item.
____________
Red "0"-A (Ability Name): |__50/100____|
____________
Blue "0"-S (Ability Name): |__50/100____|
The character must equip the item to use the ability until
more AP is gained.
Press "X" in the Status Menu to view all the learned abilities.
Each ability requires different amounts of AP to learn.
Character Stats: The character stats are displayed in the Battle Menu, and
show specific strengths/weaknesses of your characters
(party members). Here are what they mean:
Speed- Speed determines how fast the character's ATB Guage fills up (the
higher the value, the faster the character can act).
Strength- Strength determines the severity of a physical attack.
Magic- Magic determines the amount of damage caused by magic and summon
attacks.
Spirit- Spirit affects the character's attack and defense. Higher values
enhance your ability to Steal, Counter, and deal critical damage.
Also, the character's Spirit determines how long status effects
remain and how quickly the Trance Gauge fills.
Attack- Attack determines the amount of damage the character deals using
physical attacks.
Defense- Defense reduces the amount of damage the character receives from
physical attacks.
Evade- Evade determines the character's ability to dodge physical attacks.
Magic Defense- Magic Defense reduces the amount of damage the character
receives from magic attacks.
Magic Evade- Magic Evade determines the character's ability to dodge magic
attacks.
Synthesizing: In addition to regular shops where you can buy and sell items,
there are synthesis shops, where you can synthesize items to
create new items. All you need are 2 items to serve as the base
and a few Gil to cover labor. The items you need and the amount
of money you pay vary for each synthesized item.
- Synthesis Example-
The Ogre
(Required item 1) Mage Master
(Required item 2) Mage Master
(Cost) 700 Gil
Desert Boots
(Required item 1) Leather Hat
(Required item 2) Leather Shirt
(Cost) 300 Gil
Long ago, there were rumors saying there's a Legendary Synthesist
who can create the best items...
Elemental Properties: There are a total of 8 Elemental Properties: Fire, Ice,
Thunder, Earth, Water, Wind, Holy, and Shadow. Applying
these Elemental Properties to your attacks and defense
makes battles a lot easier. But your enemies can take
advantage of them as well, so watch out. To apply them,
you'll have to understand their natures.
-Elemental Properties-
Fire Effective against ice and undead monsters.
Ice Effective against insects, large enemies, and
fire and dragon-type monsters.
Thunder Effective against enemies near water.
Earth Ineffective against flying monsters.
Water Effective against fire monsters.
Wind Effective against flying monsters.
Holy Effective against shadow monsters.
Shadow Effective against holy monsters.
There is also a Non-elemental Property, which is not
affected by any elemental property.
Tetra Master Card Game: Tetra Master is a game played world-wide, but the only
way to see if someone plays is to challenge them. Tetra
Masters never back down from a Challenge. To challenge
people, walk up to them and press SQUARE.
-Tetra Master Rules 1-
Select 5 cards in your possession to play.
-Tetra Master Rules 2-
1. Put down a card by your opponet's card.
2. If an arrow on your card points to your opponet's
card, you can win his/her card.
-Tetra Master Rules 3-
If an arrow on your card faces the arrow on your
opponet's card, a card battle begins. If your card
wins the card battle, you win the opponet's card. If
your card loses the card battle, the opponent wins
your card.
-Tetra Master Rules 4-
If you have to battle 2 or more cards, you can choose
the opponent's card that you want to battle.
-Tetra Master Rules 5-
The game ends once all the cards are played, and the
person with the most cards is the winner.
===============================================================================
001: Status Effects:

Here is the walkthrough for Final Fantasy IX. If you need to find somethin'
fast without searching through this entire section, just head up to the
Table of Contents, find the semi-section in the walkthrough, find what number
it is, then hit "Ctrl + F" on your keyboard, and enter the number of the
section you are looking for, and ka-ching! You've found your section.
EXAMPLE: Let's say you want to find "Disc 04 Walkthrough" section in the
walkthrough. The number for this section is "005", as seen in the
Table of Contents at the top of this document. So, all you have to
do is press "Ctrl + F", then enter "005" into the box on what to
find, and there ya go!
You will begin the game by watching a spectacular (yet somewhat short)
FMV. Once it all ends, you take control of Zidane Tribal, in a dark
place. You'll be carrying around a candle, and your objective is to
light the bigger candle in the center of the room. But before doing so,
check the northwest corner of the room to find 47 Gil. Now search the
area across from it (the northeast corner), to find a Potion! Check
below where you got the Potion to see a sign that reads:
= M.S. Prima Vista, Theater Ship =
Class: Luxery liner with theater
Tonnage: 8235 tonnes
Guest Capacity: 288
Propulsion: Veil energy
Shipwright: Zebolt Shipyards
Port of Registry: Lindbulm
Now head to the center of the room and light the candle. A large
"thing" will enter the room, and you'll begin a mini-boss fight. This
fight is really easy, since it's basically a tutorial fight. Before
killing off the guy, though, steal all of his items, which include Mage
Master and Potion. After the fight, watch the cut-scenes.
You'll begin this segment of the game as Vivi. After the little girl
helps you out, you will take control of him. Search to your left to
find a Potion, then enter the house to the right. Inside, speak with
Grandma, then search the bed to find grandma's savings of 9 Gil. Now
search to the right of the ladder to find a Potion, then climb the
ladder. Up here, you'll find a Fang Card, then leave the house. Back
out here, head north, and you'll find a Potion to the northwest part of
the street, and continue north, to where all of the little kids are
running to. Once in this part of town, enter the Tavern, and search the
southwest part of the room to find a Flan Card, then 27 Gil on the
floor near a table. Check the southeast portion of the tavern to find a
Potion, and speak to everyone here while you're at it.
Exit the Tavern, and check the grass across from it to find the Goblin
Card. Continue into the next part of town (follow the kids), and enter
the Shop here. Search it to find 38 Gil on the floor, then speak to the
shop owner if you'd like:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Leave the shop, and continue north into the Square, and check out the
center ticketbooth, and show the ticketmaster your ticket, and he'll
tell you it's a fake, and he'll give you these to cheer you up: Goblin
Card, Fang Card, and the Skeleton Card. Check out the sign north of the
ticketbooth to see that it reads:
= The Three Heroic Knights of Pluto =
This statue was built to commermorate the three knights who fought bravely
in the 15th Lindblum War, in 1601.
Now enter the house to the right of this sign, and search the floor to
find some Ether. Enter the second room of this shop/house, and read the
sign near the guy looking for swords:
= Recuiting New Knights of Pluto Members =
We are always looking for recuits
for the Knights of Pluto in Alexandria Castle!
Come, all you brave young men!
Let us protect the queen, and our
beautiful country, together!
Captain, Knights of Pluto
Exit this shop, and head into the alleyway to the west, near the
jumproping girls. By the way, you can jump-rope with them if you wish,
as a small mini-game. In the alleyway, watch the little mis-hap, then
you will encounter Rat Kid. Speak to him, and tell him your ticket was
a fake. He'll then offer to let you see the show if you become his
slave. Agree, then watch out for him. Say the coast is clear, and he'll
steal the ladder. He runs off, but after he does, Alleyway Jack comes.
Speak to him to return to the Tavern, and to learn the card game. When
you are finished, return to the alleyway, and head the way the Rat Kid
run off earlier with the ladder.
Continue to follow him into the next area, and try to climb the ladder.
As you do, a moogle named Kupo falls down on you. Climb up the ladder
when told to, then follow Rat Kid along the roof-tops. Along the way,
he'll ask you your name, so name Vivi. After the road across the roofs
is over, you'll both enter the castle to watch the play. Enjoy the
awesome cut-scenes. ^_^
After it all ends, you'll pick up play as Zidane and the others in a
fight on stage. You can't steal, so just take out the two outer goons
first, then attack King Leo in the center. After enough damage, he'll
retreat. Watch some more cut-scenes, until you engage in a swordfight
with someone (Blank) near the audience. He'll give you random commands
(like Square, or Up), and you'll need to follow them as accurately as
possible. The more accurate you do them, the more audience members (out
of 100, plus the Queen herself) will be pleased and impressed with your
performance. The higher the number of audience members impressed and
the Queen, the more Gil they will shower you with. The highest I've
gotten was: 97/100 members impressed, plus the Queen was quite
impressed, and they showered me with 873 Gil.
You'll regain control of Zidane in the Castle after the play has ended.
Climb the stairs, and watch the cut-scene as the Princess runs away.
After all of the cut-scenes have ended, you'll take control of Steiner,
the soldier. Head north of the stairway, and enter the balcony. Speak
to the soldiers, then head downstairs, then run right of the screen to
enter the library. Check out the bookshelf which reads:
§ Ice Cavern, Alexandria §
A natural cavern overrun
with everlasting ice.
Exit the library, then enter the room to the right of the stairs, and
into the next library, and check out the northern bookshelf which
reads:
§ Village of Dali, Alexandria §
A farming village near
the Lindbulm border.
Return to where you began as Steiner, and head through the door that is
across from the stairway, and into the dressing room of the Knights.
Tell the two Knights to get going, then save your game with the Moogle
in here. Now check out the list near the door that reads:
Knights of Pluto Register
I. Captain Steiner (or whatever you named Steiner)
II. Blutzen

Sorta ironic who it only lists "IX" soldiers eh? ;) Return to the Queen
on the outer balcony, and get the Silk Shirt from her. Re-enter the
castle, and go downstairs to the room that leads to the library, but
instead of heading left or right, run TOWARDS the screen, and exit the
castle. Run forward, and speak to the knights here, then head south and
speak to the knight near the water. Tell him to go search for the
princess, then head west of the fountains to find two conversating
Knights. Speak to them, then enter the castle here, and run up the
stairs, past the guard, and onto the balcony.
Watch the funny FMV, then you'll take over as Zigane. Follow the
Princess, speak to her in the next room, then follow her again down the
stairs. Watch the cut-scenes, then once you are in the lower-part of
the ship, enter the door near the Princess to meet up with Steiner, and
engage in battle with him. Begin by stealing his Leather Hat, and Silk
Shirt. Now just beat him down until the fight ends. Continue to watch
the cut-scenes, and fight Steiner once more. After it all ends, you'll
end up crashed-up in a forest, and the Princess is missing. It's up to
you to find her.
Watch the A.T.E. that the Moogle points out to you to see both Vivi and
the Princess somewhere else in the forest. Save your game with the
Moogle, then check near the ship to find a Phoenix Down. Now run south
of the Moogle, and enter the Evil Forest.
Enter the forest, and head east to the next screen to find Vivi, and a
monster who has taken the Princess hostage. You'll begin a fight with
the Prison Cage enemy.
This mini-boss battle isn't too hard, but it's up to you to keep the
Princess alive by healing her every so often with a Potion. Why?
Because the Prison Cage holds her hostage, and it'll use Absorb, which
takes HP from her, and uses it to heal itself. Try to heal her whenever
her HP drops below 20 HP. After enough damage, the Prison Cage will run
away, taking the Princess with it.
Watch the cut-scene, then fight another Prison Cage that holds Vivi
hostage. Use the same tactics as before, but this time, you shouldn't
have to heal Vivi, since he'll cast Fire on the Prison Cage, which will
make this fight a snap. The Prison Cage will poison Vivi and Steiner
before it dies, and you'll end up back in the Ship. When you regain
control of Zidane, check out the hidden chest near the globe for some
Bronze Gloves. Now head south of the Globe to activate a few A.T.E's:
The Escape: Steiner is trapped in a room (still), and he wishes to escape. He
tries to think of a way to get out, but alas, it doesn't work.
He still doesn't feel too good, so he sits down. As he does this,
he finds a ragged doll that says 'Princess Garnet, age 15', and
he freaks out, saying how could someone put her name on such a
ragged doll, and that the Princess is 16, not 15.
The Girl Who was Left Behind: This one shows a girl by the name of Ruby, who
is all alone way back at the Tavern in Alexandria.
She's wondering where "everybuddy" went, and she
doesn't know what to do now that nobody is around.
My Little Baby: This one shows Cinna outside of the crashed ship, and he's
looking for something. He curses a few times, and keeps looking
for his Garnet doll. He wonders how in the world he's supposed
to sleep now, and thinks that it probably caught fire in the
crash.
After watching these ATEs, you'll take control of Zidane once more. Run
down the stairs, and talk to the two people down here to learn about
Vivi, and the Evil Forest. Before checking up on Vivi, search the chest
to the left of the stairs to find a Wrist. Now run right, and enter the
door, and into the room where Vivi is sleeping. In here, check the
chest near the door for some Ether, then speak with Vivi. Now climb the
ladder of the bunk-bed, and you'll find 116 Gil at the top! Leave the
room.
Out here, watch the short flashback, then choose to save the Princess.
Speak with the person in red, then head through the door behind
him/her. In here, search the chest to find some more Ether, then head
down the stairs, and into the room with the 2 people. Search the
northwest part of the room to find a Rubber Helm. Now enter the eastern
door to speak with Baku, the boss. After speaking with him, search the
chest to find a Potion, then go back the way Baku left. Ignore him
momentarily, then head south and into the next room. Go right and
search the chest for a Leather Hat, then return to Baku, and fight him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BAKU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level: N/A HP: 500+ Weak against: N/A Spoils: N/A
AP: N/A Steal: Iron Helm
This is another mini-boss fight, and it isn't all that hard. Start off
by stealing an item from him (I got a Hi-Potion), then go off and begin
to actually attack him. Every few of his turns he'll trip, and give you
an extra attack. You shouldn't have to heal yourself in this fight,
since it's so easy.
After the fight, speak with the people around you, then head back up
the stairs, and enter the chamber where Steiner is. Talk to him, and
after you exit the room, re-enter it, and search the chest for an
Ether. Now head back to the room where Vivi lies. After the
conversation, return to where you fought Baku, then head south, and
into the room where you got the Leather Hat earlier. You will receive
Blank's Medicine after you meet up with Blank in this room, and he'll
give you this tip:
Don't forget to
set your _abilities_.
Leaving the band is your business,
but you better keep training!
Learning more abilities is
gonna make you even stronger.
Good luck,
Baku
You'll end up back outside, where you can shop with Cinna:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Now head south, and run to where you met up with Vivi in the Evil
Forest (where you first fought the Prison Cage enemy). This will
activate an A.T.E:
Orchestra in the Forest: This shows what is going on back at the Ship, with
the band and a conductor. They all want to liven the
place up, and make their music do the fighting against
the monsters. As they begin, Baku comes downstairs,
and says that he's gonna go take a look around, and
he'll be right back...
When the ATE ends, head north, and into the hole and run downwards. Now
run forward, and go east up the ramp, and into the next area with a
Moogle, and a spring. This will bring up an automatic ATE:
Do as I say, Not as I do: This one shows Blank and Baku talking to each other
on the ship. He gives Blank a map, and says it's
gonna be a long trip back to Lindblum.
Drink out of the spring if you wish, to restore your HP and MP of your
entire party, and use the Moogle to save if you want. Now head east,
and onto the next screen. Now run north across a few screens, until you
reach the Princess, who is being held hostage by a giant, redish plant.
Plant Brain isn't all that hard, but he can become tiresome eventually.
He uses attacks like Pollen, and Thunder which can cause damage to
either one individual, or the entire party. It's best to steal some Eye
Drops with Zidane first, then attack, and to use Sword Magic as Steiner
repeatily. Also, Black Magic (Fire) as Vivi works very well, but not
quite as well as Steiner's Sword Magic (Fire Sword) attacks. Beware
though, your chances of connecting with a physical attack is slim to
none, and slim just skipped town. ;) After enough damage, Blank will
enter the fight, and help you out, and finish off the Plant Brain.
When the fight ends, you'll find that the entire forest is chasing
after you. Along the way out, you'll be forced to fight off a few
plants, but it's not hard at all. Continue running forward until the
game takes over, and a kick-ass FMV starts. After the cut-scenes end, a
Moogle will enter, and start an automatic ATE:
"Teach me, Mogster!" Lesson 1: This ATE shows two Moogles near a swamp, and
the older brother (Mogster) will teach him
several neat things including:
Help Menu
Battles
Abilities
Trance
Icon that appears over the head
Save Moogles
Nothing
Learn all that you can (or need to learn), then return to the game.
Monty the Moogle will give you the Moogle's Flute. You'll exit out onto
the Mist Continent world map. Run forward, and head north (according to
your map), until you reach the Ice Cavern (the blue wall of ice near
the side of the cave). Enter it.
Upon entering the Cavern, check the first chest for a Tent, then run
north, and onto the next screen. Take the northwestern path first, and
run north to the odd wall at the top of the screen. Vivi will break it
with his magic, revealing a chest containing Elixir. Take it, then run
down to the chest in the southeast corner of this room and get the
Potion inside. Now examine the icicle near this chest, and Vivi will
make it crash down, allowing you to access the chest below. Take the
Mage Masher from inside, then run to the next screen to the northeast.
Take the Phoenix Down from the chest here, then run to the west to find
another wall that Vivi can break through. Take the new path south to
the chest containing Leather Wrist, then go back north, and follow the
path out of the northern doorway.
On the next screen, take the left-hand path, and un-freeze the Moogle
in the next room. He'll scream at you, and even call you some
bastards!!! Geez. This will activate another automatic ATE:
"Teach me, Mogster!" Lesson 2: You'll return to the swamp with Moggy and
Mogster, the two brother Moogles. This time,
here is what he'll teach you:
Help Menu
Battles
Abilities
Trance
Icon that appears over your head
Save Moogles
Status Effects (NEW!)
Elemental Properties (NEW!)
Card Game (NEW!)
Save your game with the Moogle if you wish, then return to the previous
screen, and take the right-hand path this time. Watch the cut-scene,
then walk towards the ringing-sound you just heard to meet Black Waltz
No. 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLACK WALTZ NO. 1 & SEALION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level: 02 HP: 229 Weak against: Fire Spoils: Hi-Potion, Phx. Down
AP: 05 Steal: Remedy, Silk Shirt
Level: 02 HP: 472 Weak against: Fire Spoils: Hi-Potion, Phx. Down
AP: 05 Steal: Ether, Mythril Dagger
This is the first semi-difficult boss battle so far in the game. You
have to fight 2 enemies: Black Waltz No. 1, and Sealion, the enemy he
summoned. Waltz will attack you and heal Sealion at the same time (he
attacks mainly with Blizzard and Fire), so it's a very good idea to
defeat him first, that way, Sealion won't be healed. Sealion has a
colored ball on his chest; it starts out as blue, but as you damage
him, it changes to yellow, then red. He attacks with various methods of
attack, like Fire, Thunder, Blizzard, Tsunami, and others. Keep up your
HP, because it's just you against him. Eventually, Trance SHOULD take
over Zidane, so the rest of the battle should be a sinch.
After the battle, you hear that Black Waltz No. 2 and 3 will reclaim
the Princess...hmmm...odd. Anyways, watch the cut-scenes, then run
north, and into the room where you fought Black Waltz No. 1, and climb
the snowy ramp. Now head all the way to the top, through the doorway,
and back outside to exit the Mist. From the Ice Cavern, simply run
straight ahead until you reach the town of Dali.
As you enter the Village of Dali, Vivi wants to see the Windmill, but
Zidane insists that they all rest up first. There will be a cut-scene
that comes in and the party will all get some rest. As you awaken, you
will hear someone singing, and a few ATEs will start:
Vivi, Confused: In this ATE, Vivi explores the Village by himself, only to
be confronted by a few snot-nosed kids, who upon seeing him,
run away, and avoid him. Vivi becomes saddened by this, since
whenever he attempts to walk towards them, they run away.
Garnet Tries: See below...
After the ATE ends, you'll regain control of Zidane. Search the chest
in the room to find an Antidote. Now read the bookshelf to see:

big clock!
Check the hidden chest near the Color Fortune machine to get a Potion,
then head out of the room, and into the lobby to activate the second
ATE that you could not see earlier:
Garnet Tries: This ATE shows Garnet the Princess (who now has a new name,
thanks to you, who changed it) in a small garden with some
pumpkins and a scarecrow. She's wondering about the state
of the Castle, and if it's okay, since there was quite a
ruckus there earlier. She starts to sob, and says that
her mother went too far (the Queen), and that she didn't
have to fire at the ship, even if it was to rescue her.
She also wonders how many people got hurt in the whole
ordeal, then she meets up with an Old Lady. The Old Lady
begins to kill the bugs on the crops, and as Garnet watches
her, an oglop pops out of the crops, and the Old Lady
notices that she likes oglops, when most girls hate them.
So, in an attempt to blend in, she acts like she hates them,
and screams.
Check out the table in the lobby to see what the menu says for the
breakfast service is...
* Dali Inn's Breakfast Service! *
A delicious breakfast for 20 Gil!
- Cold Water, fresh from the well
- Fresh scrambled eggs
- Vegetables, fresh from the farm
* This is a sample menu. *
Leave the Inn, and outside, you'll activate yet another ATE:
Cat's Eye: This ATE shows a cat as he hops off the fireplace, and onto the
desk of the receptionist inside of the Inn. The Innkeeper is
stumped on what he should do. He says that he doesn't wanna
give in to his brother, but everyone else is makin' money
'cept him. He then finds out who that "traveling customer"
was, and says that he won't have to give hin if he tells
him about them, as the cat watches.
Once the ATE ends, head into the shop across from the Inn, and do a bit
of shopping with Shopkeeper Eve:
Dagger................320 Gil
Mage Masher...........500 Gil
Broadsword............330 Gil
Iron Sword............660 Gil
Rod...................260 Gil
Mage Staff............320 Gil
Wrist.................130 Gil
Leather Wrist.........200 Gil

Leather Hat...........150 Gil
Feather Hat...........200 Gil
Rubber Helm...........250 Gil
Bronze Helm...........330 Gil

I strongly suggest picking up anything here that you DO NOT already
have (the only thing here that you shouldn't already have is the Iron
Sword, so be sure to pick one up). Read the paper on the table near the
door here for some useful information:

With this done, head back outside, and run north a bit, and check the
wall near the Shop to find 120 Gil on the ground. Keep running a bit
north to notice a wheel large enough for an airship...hmmm. Cool.
Anyways, enter the house above the shop, and meet Mayor Kapu. He tells
you off right away, and that he's busy. Whatever. Feh. Anyways, leave,
and run north to find Vivi staring at the windmill, and listen to
Zidane show off how much of a ladies' man he is in Lindblum. You two
will both hear the sound of chocobos, but Vivi has no idea what they
are...then someone kidnaps him! Great, just great. Anywho, two more
ATEs begin:
Cat's Eye 2: This one shows the Innkeeper again, but this time, he's happy
about something. He laughs, and he says that he "sent someone
to pick it up right away". He also says that he'll have to
keep quiet until the guests leave, and pretend that he's
asleep.
Garnet Tries Harder: This one shows Garnet in the Weapons Shop with Eve, and
she's there to speak with Eve, and learn how common
folk speak, but then some kid comes in and interrupts
her.
Head to the Weapons Shop now that you know Garnet is there, and speak
with her. Agree with her when you have choices to make in dialoge (or
at least say the stuff that is the nicest). Return to the Inn, and talk
to Garnet in the room to activate an automatic ATE:
Queen Brahne's Steiner: This one shows Steiner inside of some place in the
village, helping out Dutiful Daughter Slai. He's
helping her so she'll introduce him to some of
the adults in the village, but she tells him that
the adults don't come there during the day. He then
asks her what the main port of transportation is
in the village, because there is someone he must
escort to the castle. She tells Steiner to go to
the observatory at the top of a mountain along the
outskirts of village, and that an old man named
Morrid lives there. He apparently takes care of
the cargo ship.
Head to the Pub in the north part of town, and talk Slai. Next, check
out the menu for future reference (it's to the left of her):
*Menu*
1. Pickles: 8 Gil
2. Vegetable stir-fry: Out of Stock

Exit the Pub, and return to the left where you first found Vivi, and
you'll hear a sound of a Chocobo. You'll then see that Vivi is trapped
underground, and that "they told him to stay there". You must find a
way to get to him. Head into the windmill to the left of where Vivi
lies, and check the back of the room for Aries. Check the door to see
that you need Mayor's Key to open it. Examine the steel hole that is in
the southern part of the room, and open it. Go down the ladder.
Once down there, hop off the ladder, take the tiny elevator, and open
the chest to find 156 Gil. Now run north to find a Chocobo, Vivi, and
his captors. Enter the small shed near the chocobo to find some Potion
inside of the chest, then open the chest outside of it for some Eye
Drops. Go through the next door, and speak to the Moogle in the barrel,
and save your game. Hop up the crates in the back of this room, and
open the first chest for some Ether. Hop back down, and check out the
rope near the next door, and Kick It to lower another chest. Open it
for some Potion, then head through the next door.
In here, climb up the small steps, and make your way across the crates
to a chest containing an Iron Helm. Check out the chest on the floor
for a Leather Wrist, then head through the northern door. You'll find a
large machine, and Vivi inside of a large box. Before checking out the
large machine, open the chest near it for 95 Gil. Now use the path next
to the machine making eggs, enter the next room, then enter the room
after that to learn something shocking! Watch the cut-scenes, then
you'll take over as Steiner.
Run down the mountain and follow Morrid down the mountain, and into his
hut. After finding out when the Cargo ship gets there, run out of the
house, and onto the field where the Cargo ship is. Once you are near
the large barrel, poke it with your sword to draw out Zidane, Vivi, and
Garnet. They are about to board the ship, but as they do, Black Waltz
No. 2 appears.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLACK WALTZ NO. 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level: 06 HP: 1028 Weak against: Fire Spoils: Ether, Zagnohl Card
AP: 05 Steal: Steepled Hat, Leather Plate
This guy's mission is to take the Princess back to the castle, and he
won't stop at anything to accomplish it, either. He is tougher to
defeat than Black Waltz No. 1 was, but this time, he's alone. The fact
that most of his attacks attack the entire party really hurts you
overall. You'll need to use a few Phoenix Downs, as well as a few
potions on your party members. He casts things like Teleport, Fire, and
Thunder, so watch out. Revive anyone that becomes KO'd, because you
need all of the power you can get.
Now at this time, you can either choose to Depart, or to rest at the
Inn. Choose to rest, that way, you can further explore the Village
before you head off. Explore what you want to in the Village, and when
you are ready, go back to the ship, and depart. Once on the ship, head
up the ladder, and talk to Steiner. Afterwards, enter the western
cabin, and you'll turn the ship around, towards Lindblum. In the midst
of the confusion, Black Waltz No. 3 appears, and kills off many of the
Mage dolls. Enjoy the awesome FMV that shows. When you are ready, head
out onto the deck to fight Black Waltz No. 3.
For some strange reason, Black Waltz No. 3 is somewhat easier to defeat
than his previous counterpart was. I'm not sure why, but he doesn't
attack you very often, and even when he does attack, it's not all that
potent. Anywho, by this time, Vivi should have reached Trance-state, so
be sure to cast Fire x 2 on Waltz, and use Steiner's Fire Sword and
Blizzard Sword. You shouldn't have to use any Potions, Ethers, or
Phoenix Downs in this fight if you rested up back in the Village Inn
earlier. Repeat the process of casting spells on him to cause him to
run off.
After he runs off, a series of in-game cut-scenes begin, as well as a
few FMVs that pretty much blew me away, and made me cheer for
Vivi...er...well, you'll know what I mean when you see it for yourself.
;)
When you first enter the Castle, all of your party members are marveled
at it's sheer size! A few soldiers enter, and give you the run-around,
but when the Princess shows them tha Falcon Claw emblem, they call in
Minister Artania, who is the Princess's uncle! Follow him through the
first room, past the 2 guards, and onto the lift. He explains the
levels of Lindblum to you, and where you can go, and where you cannot.
Apparently you are going off to meet Regent Cid, who is very wise, and
always thinks ahead. When you meet him, you'll find that he's been
turned into an oglop, and his wife was abducted.
Soon after, you'll enter a pub as Zidane, and meet up with Freya, a new
party member (since you are naming her...). Eventually, after many cut-
scenes, an ATE will begin:
Teach me, Mogster! (My first synthesis lesson): Back we go to the swamp
with Mogster, and this time,
the new thing he'll teach
you about is the Synthesis
Shops. You can also read up
on the previous lessons as
well.
Once that ends, save your game with the Moogle, then head downstairs,
and into the lobby. Read the sign on the bird statue near the stairs:
= Bobo Bird Statue =
Bobo Birds are symbols of good
fortune, according to an Olgan myth.
The founder of this inn bought
the statue, and it has been passed
down for generations.
Leave the Inn, and an ATE will begin:
Small-Town Knight in a Big City: In this ATE, it shows Steiner in the middle
of Lindblum, saying how large it is, and that
he's completely lost. He speaks to a Female
Red Mage, and asks how to return back to the
castle, and she just laughs at him. She also
tells him how he should get rid of his armor,
because of how disgusting it is. He then
speaks to an old lady, and she shows him
some pickles, he falls over, yells, but
then states that they are rather good.
After the ATE, run across the street, and attempt to enter the shop, and another
ATE will begin:
Vivi's Shopping: It shows Vivi inside of a shop, stating how "good a nut
smells". Wow. Ahem, anyways, he begins to look around
the shop, saying all kinds of stuff about the food, and
reads this sign:
= Alice's Item Shop =
Festival of the Hunt Sale ends today!
When Vivi tries to check out, Alice asks him if he is friends
with the Moogles, since he's buying a Kupo Nut, which are
the Moogles' favorite food. She lets him have it for free,
and Viv receives the Kupo Nut. She tells him that the up-
coming festival has animals in it, and Vivi gets excited
and runs off. After he leaves, Alice says something
about "what's so fun about fighting savage beasts...?"
After the ATE, Zidane will be in the Aircab area, so read the schedule
on the wall:
= Provisional Air Cab Scedule =
For the next 3 days, air cabs
will operate on the Festival
of the Hunt schedule.
Air Cab Management
Head back out onto the street, and run north, and into the area where
the lady sells Gysha Pickles. Enter the house to the north of her, and
speak to the Card Game Freak, and read the note on the bookshelf:
= Card Collector No. 7 =
Feature Article: Regarding Rare Cards
Rare cards are priceless!
The cards you're carrying
could become rare cards...
Fabool Publications
There are also two chests in here: One with a Hi-Potion, and the other
contain- ing an Echo Screen. Now leave the house, and take the
northeastern path, and to the part of town with a fountain. Enter the
Weapons Shop to the northeast of the fountain:
Dagger................320 Gil
Mage Masher...........500 Gil
Mythril Dagger........950 Gil
Iron Sword............660 Gil
Javelin...............880 Gil
Rod...................260 Gil
Fork.................1100 Gil
Mage Staff............320 Gil

Leather Wrist.........200 Gil
Glass Armlet..........250 Gil
Bronze Gloves.........480 Gil
Silver Gloves.........720 Gil
Steepled Hat..........260 Gil
Headgear..............330 Gil
Iron Helm.............450 Gil
Linen Cuirass.........800 Gil
Now leave, and enter the Medicine Shop to the left of the Weapons Shop:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Head to the left of the Medicine Shop, and enter the Synthesist shop:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires Mage Masher).......................700 Gil
Cotton Robe (Requires Wrist, Steepled Hat)...........1000 Gil
Desert Boots (Requires Leather Hat, Leather Shirt.....300 Gil
Yellow Scarf (Requires Feather Hat, Steepled Hat).....400 Gil
Glass Buckle (Requires Glass Armlet, Leather Wrist)...500 Gil
I suggest forging either a Butterfly Sword and/or The Ogre when you are
here. Return to the part of town where the Pickle lady is, and this
time, take the northwestern path instead. Run north, and enter the
churh. Speak with everyone here, then climb the ladder to find a
Leather Plate on the catwalk above. Leave the church, and veer right
near the trees to find a hidden Tent. Return to the Air Cab Station
(it's across from the Inn), and ride the Air Cab to [Theater
Disctrict]. Exit the air cab area in the Theater District to activate
an ATE:
Steam Engine: This one shows Steiner lost once again, looking for the
Princess. He whines about the size of the City, then asks
someone where he is, and the old man tells him that he
is on the bridge that links the castle and the docks.
He points out the Hilde Garde 2, which is an airship that
can run without Mist, since it has a steam engine.
Exit the air cab station after the ATE, and run south, and check out
the bushes to find 127 Gil. Enter the house near the Gil, and open the
chest here to find some Ore. Leave the house, and run southwest, down
the ramp. Head into the clocktower to your left, and watch a small
cut-scene, and an ATE:
What can I do?: This one shows Garnet in a bedroom, hearing the bell sound.
As she tries to leave to go look around, the Elite Guard
won't allow her to do so. Because of the Festival of the
Hunt, the town is chaotic, making securtiy rather difficult.
He tells her it's for her safety...
Afterwards, Bunce and Lucella enter the scene, and talk to Zidane. They
tell you to go see the Princess at the Castle. Before leaving, open up
the various chests in here to get: 68 Gil, 282 Gil, and 97 Gil! Climb
the ladder, and take the Mini-Burmecia from the bed. Leave the clock
area, and an ATE will start:
Baku and His Crew: This ATE shows Baku and the others as they found a way
out of the Evil Forest before it got petrified. They
did this because Blank showed them a river before he
gave the map to Zidane. Marcus wants to save his brother,
Blank from the Evil Forest, but Baku thinks it's a
better idea to let the Evil Forest stay petrified. They
begin to find a way to get the forest un-petrified.
Run down the stairs, and talk to the Fan Club Chairmen to watch some
short cut-scene, then read the info on the wall about this theater:
= Fuegert Memorial Theater =
We proudly present 'Moogle Wannabe 2':
performed by Zalwicks Company,
the company that gave a stellar
rendition of 'I Wish I Were a Chocobo.'
Lowell Bridges plays Ubobo
A Giant Moogle will run off (Moogle Man), so follow him back to the Air
Cab Station, but instead of going there, enter the house across from
the Station to find Lowell. He'll give you an Autograph if you speak to
him. Go to the station, and fly to the [Industrial District].
Head up the stairs in the back of the area when you exit the station,
and enter the Doom Pub. Read the notice in the back of the pub:
= Airship Engineer Daily Report =
Hilde Garde 2 construction postponed!
The prototype steam engine on board
the Hilde Garde 2 is inoperative.
The engine problem stems from errors
during the manufacturing period.
Exit the pub, and run north to the house where Lindruff is building a
prototype steam engine. Run up the stairs, and check the two chests to
find a Mimic Card, and a Steepled Hat. Okay, nothing else to do here,
so return to the Air Cab station, and fly to the [Lindblum Castle].
Exit the station, climb the red stairs, then go south down the red
carpet. In the room with the fountain, enter the northeastern doorway,
and enter the bedroom with Steiner, where you'll find out that the
Princess is missing. After he runs off, take this time to search the
chests in the room for the following items: Glass Armlet, Ether, and a
Moogle save point.
Return to the room with the fountain, and you'll hear Garnet singing
from upstairs. You must find a way to disguise yourself as a guard to
get to the lift, and to find her. Go back to the room that leads to the
Princess' room (where you met Steiner), and head down the stairs, and
speak to the sleeping guard to wake him up. Zidane will lure him into
her room, and will beat him up, and take his disguise. Return to the
fountian room, and run past the guard who is near the lift. He'll let
you pass, so enter the lift.
At the top of the lift, go left, and up the stairs to enter the gear
room. Talk to the Worker to find out that the Princess just went
upstairs, so head up there. Continue up the next few sets of stairs
until a FMV kicks in, and you find her. Watch the series of cut-scenes,
until the Festival of the Hunt starts:
= Festival of the Hunt =
Hunters, on your mark! Ferocious beasts
swarm about the castle town!
The bigger the catch,
the higer the score!
= Festival of the Hunt =
The time limit is 12 minutes.
Use air cabs to go to other districts.
Once you lose in a battle,
you will be forced to retire.
The winner will be crowned Master Hunter
and receive the hunter's reward.
Who will come out on top!?
The point of the Festival of the Hunt is to kill as many of the roaming
monsters that you can in under 12 minutes. Here are some approximate
point values:
If you want to guarentee yourself a victory, simply find as many Fangs
as you can, be sure to have The Ogre weapon equipped, then head to the
Business Disctrict, then take the northeast path to find the largest
monster:
ZAGNHOL (Worth over 200 Points)- You'll fight this monster alongside with
Freya. Simply attack it until it dies. It
has a few attacks that can do over 100 HP
of damage, but your Ogre weapon, and physical
attack can do well over 500 HP of damage to
him. If you kill him, you get all of the
points, and Freya gets none. :P
By the way, my highest score so far has been: 215 Hunting Points. If
you win as Zidane, you'll receive the Master Hunter, and 5000 Gil as a
reward. As you receive your reward, a Burmecian Soldier enters, and
tells of something terrible happening to the city of Burmecia. After
everything ends, and you take control of Zidane, exit the room, go
downstairs, and take the lift to [Base Level], then take the left-hand
car to [Dragon's Gate]. Speak with the Moogle, and you'll find a new
letter. Save your game, then speak with the shop-man near the Moogle
before you go:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
He also has a letter that you can read. Head out the Dragon Gate, and
onto the World Map. Head north, and you will eventually find Qu's
Marsh. Enter it.
Once here, run north, and you'll find the two Moogles whom you've
learned much about the game from a few ATEs earlier. Speak to them to
learn where the Grotto is (they say it's further north), and you can
also re-learn the stuff they taught you earlier. After speaking with
them, continue north, through the tall grass, and into the area where a
Qu is trying to catch a frog. Catch a frog yourself by standing near
one, then pressing "X" to catch it. Now speak with Qu, and name "it".
Watch the cut-scene, and agree to let him join you and your party.
Watch the rest of the cut-scenes to advance the story, then you can
play a small, frog-catching mini-game here. Simply catch as many frogs
as you can, and try to get the Gold Frog too. Soon, someone will enter,
and give you some Ore for catching 2 Frogs. If you catch 5 Frogs, Quale
will enter and give you some Ether. The basic rundown in as follows:
2 Frogs: Ore
5 Frogs: Ether
9 Frogs: Silk Robe
When you're all done, exit the Marsh, and back onto the World Map. Head
north some more, and you'll find Gizamaluke's Grotto to your left, in
the side of a mountain.
Enter the Grotto, and turn right and speak with the downed soldier.
He'll give you the Gizamaluke Bell. Take it, then go and take the
right-hand path, and Ring the Bell on the door to open it. Enter the
door. When you enter, you'll be forced to fight against two black
mages, but the fight is fairly easy. Each time you fight a pair of
Black Mages, you'll get a Gizamaluke's Bell, which is used to open up
the doors with bells on them. Now enter the large, northern door with a
Bell, and help the Moogle by giving her the Kupo Nut. When they run
off, open the chest to get a Gizamaluke Bell.
If you enter the door in this room, you'll find the Moogles, and you
can save if you want to here. If you tell one of the Moogles that you
like Kupo Nuts, then when you try to leave, she'll give you the Holy
Bell! Leave the save room, and take the stairway to the southeast of
where you saved the Moogles, and follow the path to the north. Along
the way, take the Magus Hat from underneath the stairs. Now go back to
the opened chest, and use the bell to open the door to the left of the
chest, and be sure your party is healed up, and you have plenty of
potions, elixers, and Phoenix Downs upon entering this room.
This boss is probably the toughest boss in the game so far, because he
has at least over 2000 HP of health, and his attacks can do some
serious damage. He uses magical attacks like Fire, as well as Water,
which can hurt your party badly. If you have the Ogre as Zidane, use it
to cast Soul Blade, and blind him. You should also use Vivi's Thunder
attacks against him, and Freya's Jumping Spear attack too. You WILL
need to use plenty of Potions, and Phoenix Downs in this fight, so be
ready for it.
After the fight ends, you take over as Steiner in Grand Citadel South
Gate.
Run up the stairs as Steiner, and talk to the guards. Enter the area,
and talk to the woman to your right, and choose to Console her to get
her out of your way. Now speak to the man to the south of that woman,
and get him to move. When the coast is clear, attempt to head into the
alleyway, but as you do, the short guard gives you the Gate Pass. Enter
the alley, let her change, then enter the next part of the city, and
talk to the old lady ahead of you to shop:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Open up the chest to the west of the small shop to get a Potion, then
save your game with the Moogle near it. Now head up the northern
stairs, and show the man your Gate Pass, and depart onto the train.
Choose a seat on the train to depart. Watch the cut-scenes, and when
you take over as Zidane on the World Map, run north to enter Bermecia.
Run forward to the north, and onto the next screen. Fight the two Black
Mages that are sent upon you, then enter the door to your left. Open
the two chests to find Soft and a Potion. Now leave the room, and run
east, and into the door there. In here, check the chest in the rear
(near the stairs) to find a Soft, then run up the stairs. Now IGNORE
the chest by the doorway, because it's a fake chest, and it'll start a
fight if you touch it. Enter the doorway at the top of the stairs, and
attempt to run to the next chest. The floor will fall down, so exit
back outside, enter the room where you found the two chests, and climb
the stairs. Now run across the floor that just fell down, and IGNORE
the chest near the doorway, and enter it.
Check around the room, and exit out onto the balcony. Talk to the
Bermecian Soldier in the bedroom, then open the hidden chest in the
back of the room to get some Ether. Now search under the bed to get the
Protection Bell, then leave the room, go back outside, east and up the
stairs, back inside, up the stairs again, and through the western
doorway to get back outside again. Ring the bell in front of this door
to shatter it, then enter it.
Run up the large stairs, and enter the northern doorway. Watch the
cut-scene, then climb the right-hand stairs, and enter the doorway to
your left. Search the two chests for a Tent and a Phoenix Down, then
run around the path, to the other side, and enter the northern door.
Now enter the lefthand brown door, and Freya will take the Mythril
Spear from the statue. Exit, and enter the right-hand door. Talk to the
Moogle to use a Tent and to save your game, or Shop if you wish:
Needle Fork.............3100 Gil
Glass Armlet.............250 Gil
Mythril Gloves...........980 Gil
Steepled Hat.............260 Gil
Headgear.................330 Gil
Magus Hat................400 Gil
Barbut...................600 Gil
Bronze Vest..............670 Gil
Linen Cuirass............800 Gil
Potion...................050 Gil
Phoenix Down.............150 Gil
Echo Screen..............050 Gil
Soft.....................100 Gil
Antidote.................050 Gil
Eye Drops................050 Gil
Tent.....................800 Gil
Run forward, and open the chest to find a Lightning Staff. You can also
buy these items from the next Moogle that comes in: Soft, Hi-Potion,
and Ether, all for the super-low price of 333 Gil. Exit the room, and
head north, up the stairs. On the next screen, choose all three
options, but do the "Leave Her alone" one last. Watch the cinemas, end
eventually, you'll reach a boss fight.
This fight starts off slow and easy, but after a few turns of battle,
it completely changes pace, since Beatrix begins to pummel your party
with physical and magic attacks that can cause over 500 HP of damage,
and that's not the maximum amount she can dish out. Be sure you have
Vivi equipped with the Lightning Staff, and have Freya equipped with
the Mythril Spear you just found earlier, and be sure that Zidane has
The Ogre sword, or something very strong. Use plenty of magic against
her, like Blizzara, Spear, Reis's Wind, and so on. Use plenty of
healing items, but don't worry, you can't die in this fight. Instead,
Beatrix will give mercy to your party and leave your last members with
1 HP of health left before ending the fight.
Watch the cinemas and the FMV, then save your game, and switch discs.
When you take over as Dagger, head up the first set of stairs nearest
to you, and enter the rest area. Speak with everyone here for details,
then shop with the ShopKeeper here:
Air Racket...........400 Gil
Mythril Rod..........560 Gil
Glass Armlet.........250 Gil
Silver Gloves........720 Gil
Mythril Gloves.......980 Gil
Steepled Hat.........260 Gil
Headgear.............330 Gil
Magus Hat............400 Gil
Rubber Helm..........250 Gil
Iron Helm............450 Gil
Barbut...............600 Gil
Bronze Vest..........670 Gil
Linen Cuirass........800 Gil
Potion...............050 Gil
Phoenix Down.........150 Gil
Echo Screen..........050 Gil
Soft.................100 Gil
Antidote.............050 Gil
Eye Drops............050 Gil
Tent.................800 Gil
Check out the chest near the Moogle (you can save here too if you
wish), and take the Phoenix Down. Talk to the main near the chest, and
he'll tell you the train will be departing soon, but then you'll hear
the Lindblum car leave, and hear a familiar voice. Head outside to see
Cinna and Marcus. Now re-enter the rest area, and speak with Cinna,
Marcus, then to Steiner last. Now go outside, and enter the car that is
heading for Alexandria.
This final form of Black Waltz No. 3 is much easier to defeat than his
first form, since this one has basically gone insane, and is much
weaker than earlier. He uses attacks like Thunder, Blizzara, Hit,
Freeze and whatnot, but they're not very potent. Use Marcus's steal
option to steal a Phoenix Down, and a Lightning Staff if possible, then
attack with his physical attacks. Use Dagger to Cure your party, and
use mainly physical attacks against him.
After the fight, you'll end up at South Gate/Alexandrian Station. Head
past the train and do some shopping with Part-Time Worker Mary before
heading to Treno. Exit off the screen, and to the fork in the road.
Take the right-hand path and head to Treno. Cross the bridge, then run
south to find a chest containing 1610 Gil inside. Continue eastward,
onto the next screen, show the guards your Gate Pass, then exit out
onto the World Map. Now just head forward, then to your right to find
the city of Treno, but if you wish to level up quickly, then head over
to the forested area, and wander around. There are plenty of
Mandragora's that come in packs of 2-3 each battle, and you can get
tons of EXP and Gil from each fight, which allows you to level up your
party pretty fast.
Right as you enter the city, you'll watch a cut-scene, followed by two
ATEs:
Treno Tradition
Ambition
Watch an ATE, then head up the northeastern stairs. Once on the next
screen, you will find an Inn to your left. Use it if you need to, then
head north, and to the next screen. Run forward to find a Moogle. Head
right and into the large wooden doors to go shoppin':
Dagger.............320 Gil
Mage Masher........500 Gil
Mythril Dagger.....950 Gil
Mythril Sword.....1300 Gil
Mythril Spear.....1100 Gil
Air Racket.........400 Gil
Mythril Rod........560 Gil
Flame Staff.......1100 Gil
Ice Staff..........980 Gil
Lightning Staff...1200 Gil
Fork..............1100 Gil
Needle Fork.......3100 Gil
Leather Wrist......200 Gil
Glass Armlet.......250 Gil
Bone Wrist.........330 Gil
Mythril Gloves.....980 Gil
Magus Hat..........400 Gil
Bandana............500 Gil
Barbut.............600 Gil
Silk Shirt.........400 Gil
Leather Plate......530 Gil
Bronze Vest........670 Gil
Chain Plate........810 Gil
Linen Cuirass......800 Gil
Chain Mail........1200 Gil
Shop a bit, then ask the lady about the monster below you. Exit, and
continue north a bit, and up the stairs to find the Auction site. Enter
the large door. You'll find Dagger here, then take over control as
Dagger. You can return to the auction and bid on items if you'd like,
then return back outside, run past the moogle, and head south. Once on
the next screen, go west, and then south, and onto the next screen. Now
run to the west to find a chest with a Mythril Dagger. Now return to
the previous screen, and then head north a bit, then go left into the
mansion to find a Synth Shop:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires 2 Mage Mashers)....................700 Gil
Cotton Robe (Requires Wrist, Steepled Hat)...........1000 Gil
Desert Boots (Requires Leather Hat, Leather Shirt.....300 Gil
Yellow Scarf (Requires Feather Hat, Steepled Hat).....400 Gil
Glass Buckle (Requires Glass Armlet, Leather Wrist)...500 Gil
Germinas Boots (Requires Desert Boots, Fork)..........900 Gil
Cachusha (Requires Magus Hat, Rubber Helm)...........1000 Gil
Coral Ring (Requires Lightning Staff, Rod)...........1200 Gil
Gold Choker (Requires Linen Cuirass, Soft)...........1300 Gil
Synth a few things, most notably the last 3 add-ons. Leave the mansion,
and continue north, to the next screen, then enter the doors to meet
the queen. Give her Aeires if you have it to get 1000 Gil. Now return
all the way back to where the Inn is located, then head east of it, and
down the ladder. Open the chest here to get a Yeti Card, then speak to
the Shopkeeper:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Stock up on plenty of medicine, then open the next chest to get a
measly 1 Gil. Head north of the shop, and explore behind it to get
Taurus. Now return to the Inn, and you'll find Marcus. Say that you're
ready to go with Marcus, then head down to the dock to meet Baku. Watch
the cut-scenes, then meet Doctor Tot, who will unlock the large tower
near the Treno Entrance.
Go to the entrance, and go left from there, and head up the tower. At
the top, you'll get the SuperSoft from the Doctor. Talk to him again to
activate a cut-scene. Watch it, then follow the doctor up the ladder,
then into the hole.
Begin this mini-dungeon by saving your game with the Moogle near the
entrance, then heading to the southwest. On the first screen, open the
chest to your right to get a Chain Plate. Now head to the west of this
chest, and go to the end of the hallway to find a chest containing a
Phoenix Down, and the lever you're supposed to pull. Pull it, then
return to the Doctor, and head down the southeast path now. Head north
on the next screen, and the Doctor will meet with you, and tell you to
pull the nearby lever. Do it, and a gargan will come around, pulling a
trolley. Now you must halt it. Go back a screen, run past the Doctor,
down the small steps, and pull the lever here. The gargan will stop,
and your party will step aboard the trolley.
This guy is the one blocking your path in the trolley, so you'll have
to deal with him. Start off by having Dagger cast Protect on everyone,
then have Steiner and Marcus attack most of the time. If you try to
steal, do it fast, because after enough damage, he'll escape (the
Ralvurahva). If you do happen to steal anything, it'll be a Bone Wrist,
but remember that it's hard to steal anything from this guy. If he
casts Devil's Kiss on anyone, heal them fast, because their HP will
drop gradually. After enough damage, he'll run off.
After the cut-scenes, you'll take over control with Zidane, Vivi,
Freya, and Quina. Your goal is to head off to Clerya, west of Burmecia.
Head west, and into that large, swirling sandstorm.
Once you are inside of the tree, run northeast, and pull the lever at
the top of the steps to open the nearby door, then enter it. In the
next room, open up the chest to the northeast to get a Phoenix Down.
Run north, and through the next doorway. Out here, head east, and avoid
the sandtraps, and check out the hidden chest to the south to get some
Magician's Shoes. Take them from the chest before leaving, then out the
next doorway. Run north up the side of the tree, through the doorway,
and back inside of the tree. Open the chest to get an Ether, then run
south to the hole in the tree. Put your hand inside to raise the sand
level of the tree. Now exit this room, and climb the vines and enter
the hole on the side of the tree.
Run through this room, and enter the doorway to the west. Open the
chest in the next area for the Needle Fork. Now head up the ramps, and
you can find a Moogle here, so save your game and use a Tent if
necessary. Check out the chest across from the Moogle to get a Tent,
then continue up the sandy ramps and onto the next screen. Now take the
left-hand stairs to find a chest with a Flame Staff inside, so take it,
then head up the other set of stairs. Cross the bridge, and enter the
next area.
Run to the center of the room to find a hidden chest with some Desert
Boots inside. Now head out the tunnel behind this chest, and out here,
open the chest to get some Mythril Gloves. Head north, and pull the
lever at the top. Now return to the cave where you got the Desert
Boots, and head to the left of the center cave (where you just were),
to find a hidden chest containing a Mythril Vest! Head through the cave
to the far left of you.
Open the first chest to your right to get a Potion, then take the
right-hand path that leads to a chest with an Elixer inside. Go back a
screen, and take the left-hand path instead. Run around the sandtraps,
and open the first chest to get a Hi-Potion, and open the second chest
to get 900 Gil! If you happen to fall into one of the sandtraps, mash
the X button to get out. Take the western path, and follow it to the
ladder. But before climbing up it, check the chest behind it to get
some Gysahl Greens. Now climb up the ladder, and follow the short path
to...
Right when you enter the Settlement, Freya runs off to meet the King.
So, after she leaves, the Forest Oracle Kildea offers to give you the
tour of the settlement, so agree to go. He'll show you stuff like the
market, the waterwheel, the observatory, and the cathedral. After the
tour concludes, you take over as Zidane. Head up the first set of
stairs, and turn right to find a hidden area with a Phoenix Pinion.
Take it, then head up the next set of stairs, and to the right to
activate an ATE (No Yummy-Yummies!).
When the ATE ends, head to the right, and search the ground to get some
Ore. Take it, then go left, and across the small bridge to the
southwest, and an ATE will begin (Don't Hate Me). Watch it, then search
the ground near the steps to get some Thunder Gloves. Return to the
market area of town, and where the "Don't Hate Me" ATE just took place,
and speak with Dan to buy some weapons:
Partisan...................1600 Gil
Multina Racket..............750 Gil
Mythril Rod.................560 Gil
Flame Staff................1100 Gil
Ice Staff...................980 Gil
Needle Fork................3100 Gil
Bone Wrist..................330 Gil
Mythril Armlet..............500 Gil
Mythril Gloves..............980 Gil
Thunder Gloves.............1200 Gil
Magus Hat...................400 Gil
Bandana.....................500 Gil
Mage's Hat..................600 Gil
Mythril Helm...............1000 Gil
Chain Plate.................810 Gil
Mythril Vest...............1180 Gil
Chain Mail.................1200 Gil
Mythril Armor..............1830 Gil
Be sure to stock up on any of the more powerful weapons you have yet to
get (Ice Staff, Fire Staff, Needle Fork), as well as lots of Defensive
armor (Bandana, Chain Plate, Chain Mail, Mythril anything...), because
you'll need it. Enter the Inn right above Dan, and check the ground to
the right of the Innkeeper to get 1250 Gil. Now check the corner to the
left of the Innkeeper to get an Echo Screen. Climb the stairs, and
check the dresser near the bed to get some Ether. Now you can also find
a Moogle here, near the window. Check for mail, and you should have a
letter for Zidane. Read it, then save your game. Also rest up if you
need to.
Leave the Inn, and run up the right-hand stairs, and along the way,
you'll find a Remedy on the ground. Continue up the steps, and a few
ATEs will pop up ("I-I Haven't Hurt Anyone", and "There's a
Mushroom!"). Head to the observatory, and speak with the girls, then
head east across the bridge. On the next screen, you will find a
Phoenix Pinion on the ground near some mushrooms, and a few people,
like Star Maiden Nina:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Annoyntment...........150 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Head north, to the area outside of the cathedral, and search the grass
to the south to find some Gysahl Greens, and search the area in front
of the cathdedral to find an Echo Screen. Enter the cathedral, and get
the message from Freya, saying for you to wait for her at the Inn.
Return back to the Inn. As you get near the Inn, someone reports that
the Antlion has mauled a kid. Follow Dan to the entrance of the town,
then head east to find the Antlion attacking Puck.
Start off the fight by having Vivi cast Blizzara as soon as possible,
then have him cast it for the entire fight. Use Zidane to steal items
(you can get stuff like Annoyntment, a Gold Helm, and other stuff too),
and use Freya's ability, Reis's Wind to heal the party as you go. This
fight is a cinch if you have Vivi cast Blizzara, because it deals out
around 1200 HP of damage each time.
When the fight ends, watch the little dance sequence with Freya, then
the FMV that shows. Watch the next few cinemas, then meet the rest of
the party at the entrance of Cleyra. Make your way down the tree, and
all the way to the bridge (you'll have to fight pairs of Alexandrian
Soldiers along the way. At least one pair in each room). Once you reach
the bridge, you'll meet Puck, who tells you to return to the town.
Right away, you'll have to fight a Black Mage, then some Alexandrian
Soldiers, then another Black Mage or two. If you go to where you fought
the Antlion, you'll find a Moogle who has a letter, and a task for you.
Save your game here, then head up the stairs. At the top, you'll have
to make a decision. If you choose "Head up", then two of the citizens
will die, so choose this one:
- Head to the Right
Now head to the next area, and when Dan's Family enters, choose:
- Let's go to the left
This will save them, and make you fight another Black Mage, and two
Alexandrian Soldiers. On the next screen, choose:
- Head to the right
Now when you are near the observatory, choose:
- No, we're not safe yet
And you'll head to the Cathedral to make your stand. As you try to
enter, a lot of Black Mages will surround you, but a Stranger with a
huge spear comes and saves you. When you enter the cathedral, you'll
learn that it was Fratley, the one Freya has been searching for. After
he leaves, Beatrix returns, and steals their Magic Stone. Follow her
outside, and in the cathedral lobby, speak to each of the surviving
citizens to get items that include:
And more items can be found too. Talk to the Moogle to use a Tent to
rest up, and save your game, then agree to deliver his letter. Now
leave, and follow her outside.
Right away, use Vivi to cast Slow on her, then continue to cast it when
it wears off. Use Vivi to cast Blizzara and Fira on her coninuously,
and use Zidane to steal items from her like Thunder Gloves, Phoenix
Down, and an Ice Brand if you're lucky. Use Freya to cast Reis's Wind
to heal the party, and use plenty of potions and Phoenix Downs to heal
your party. Also use Lancer with Freya to do some good damage. Her most
powerful attack (that can kill you), is Shock, which can deal at least
800 HP of damage. After she takes enough damage, she'll cast Stock
Break, and make your entire party go down to 1 HP, and run off with the
Stone.
You'll end up back on a ship, where Beatrix ran off to, so head up the
stairs when you take over as Zidane, and follow Beatrix to watch a
cut-scene. When it ends, Vivi runs off, so follow him down the stairs.
As you do this, Serino the Moogle appears, so go back up and chase him.
Give him the letter that was from Mopli, and he'll give you a Kupo Nut
for delivering it. Accept his offer to deliver his letter to Moodon,
then save your game, and go back down and follow Vivi again. Use the
Pods to return to Alexandria...
When the game takes over, you play a small mini-game where Steiner and
Marcus have to escape their hanging cell by swinging it back and forth
until it crashes into the wall. Hit either left or right on the control
pad to swing your weight back and forth until it crashes. When it does,
run around the outer area to the large ladder on the other side, and
make sure you remove anything valuable from Marcus. Now go left and
enter the room, and watch as Marcus runs off. Good thing you removed
anything you had on him, eh?
After you get back together with your party, head out where Marcus
left, and run outside. Head north, and avoid any guards that chase you.
Enter the castle, and run up the stairs as fast as you can. Head around
the outer balcony, and through the southern doors, then go left and up
the next set of stairs, and through the wooden doors to the north. Now
head up the stairs, and through the next doors at the top. In here,
examine the purple flame to the northwest of the room. Pull it to
reveal a hidden path, so take it.
In the next room, hop onto the rotating platform, and ride it to the
ledge with the two chests to get a Tent, and the Ice Brand, a powerful
sword for Steiner. Immediately equip it to him, then hop onto the
platform again, and take it to the other side of the room. Run down the
spiral stairs, and take them all the way down to the bottom of the
area. Once on the circle platform, head north, and through the double
doors.
These two aren't hard to beat at all. All you have to do is use Vivi to
case Blizzara a lot on them, have the Ice Brand equipped to Steiner,
then use his Blizzara Sword attack on them, use Freya to either heal
the party with Reis's Wind, or just attack with Lancer, and use Zidane
to steal items from them, particularly the Mythril Armlet and Armor,
and the Stardust Rod from Zorn. After enough damage, they'll run away
from the fight.
When you take control of Zidane, you have Dagger in your arms. Talk to
the Moogle here to use a Tent and to save your game, then take her all
the way back upstairs and to the Queen's Lair at the top of the stairs.
This fight is like the other fights with Beatrix (what was it, 2 other
fights too? Geez...), in that you should use Vivi to cast Slow on her,
and use Steiner and Zidane to attack her, and use Steiner's Blizzara
Sword attack to do some good damage. Use Vivi to continue to cast Slow
and Blizzara on Beatrix, and use Zidane to steal items from her, like
Phoenix Down and an Ice Brand. If your health gets low, use Freya to
cast Reis's Wind on the party, and be sure to heal often. Beatrix uses
the same attacks as before, and also like before, when she takes enough
damage, she'll drop everyone down to 1 HP, then stop the fight.
Watch the cut-scene, and when you take over as Freya and Beatrix in a
battle against a Bandersnatch, use Beatrix's Climhazzard attack
(remember what it did to you in the last battle? Good, that's why you
should use it). You'll take over as Zidane, so quickly hop across the
rotating platform before the Bandersnatch catches you, then run down
the stairs until you reach a few Black Mages. Fight 'em, kill 'em, then
dump 'em. Continue down the stairs, and kill the next Bandersnatches,
and watch as Steiner leaves to help Freya and Beatrix. Kill the next
set of Bandersnatches with Freya, Beatrix, and Steiner.
When you take over as Zidane, return to the Moogle where you saved
Dagger, and get a letter from him to deliver (his letter to Monty). Now
head down the stairs south of the Moogle room, and continue until you
get trapped. Watch in pain as Thorn and Zorn laugh at you, then laugh
your ass off when some "special" guests drop in. :)
The worm returns, and this time, he's not that easy to beat. Right
away, use Dagger to cast Shell and/or Protect on the party, then use
Vivi to cast Blizzara on it. When it coils up and reacts to the attack,
use Zidane to steal stuff from it, and heal the party with Dagger.
Since this fight is long, you can steal everything from Ralvuimago:
Phoenix Down, Oak Staff, and an Adaman Vest. Don't try to attack it
when it's coiled up, because it barely does any damage at all.
When you start, you'll speak with Ramuh, who says that if you can find
his 5 shadows, and compile the story correctly, he'll join his powers
with yours. You'll take control of Dagger, so run forward and give the
letter to Monty, then save your game. Now, on with the 5 stories:
Beginning Story: To find the Beginning Story, head north of Monty the Moogle,
and then west up the side of the green branch, and Ramuh
will tell you this story.
Hero Story: This one is simple. Just go to where you first met Ramuh, and he'll
tell you this story.
Cooperation Story: Head past where you heard the 'Hero' Story, and onto the
next screen. Now run north, then south, and down the branch
until you reach another screen with a chest to your left.
Run forward to talk to Ramuh, and get this piece of the
story. While you're here, open the chest to get The Ogre
weapon for Zidane.
Silence Story: After getting the 'Cooperation' Story, head north of the branch
you ran down earlier, and onto the next screen. There is a
chest to your right, and as you approach it, Ramuh appears.
Talk to him, then go back a screen, and run back up the green
ramp.
Human Story: Once you are at the top of the ramp, run around to the right, and
go across the bridge. Now run down the left-hand ramp, and past
the point when a "?" appears over Dagger's head, and Ramuh will
appear. He'll ask you if you give up, so say "no", then hop
off the ledge and open the chest below to get the Mythril Armlet.
Return to Monty the Moogle, and run south of him. Open the chest
to get a Mythril Vest, then run north, and towards a corner in
the swamp to meet the last Ramuh.
Now return to where you met Ramuh, and he asked you if you want to give
up, and speak to him. He'll ask you to put the story in the correct
order, which is:
- Beginning
- Cooperation
- Silence
- Human
If done correctly, he'll ask you if you are satisfied with your
choices, so say "yes". Now after his speach, you will receive the
Peridot, which allows you to summon Ramuh in battle. After viewing a
few FMVs, you'll end up back in Lindblum, after it took a devistating
blow.
Enter the Inn to the left of you, and run upstairs, and give Moodon the
Moogle a letter if you have one. Now take the letter that he wants you
to deliver if you haven't done so already, then exit the Inn, and head
north. On the next screen, head north again, to the rubble, and search
it to get the Lindblum Card. Now enter the house to the right of the
rubble, and search the two chests to get an Ether and a Phoenix Pinion.
Exit the house, and head north, and onto the next screen to meet up
with Minister Artania.
Watch the cut-scene to learn of your next objective, and you'll get
3000 Gil from Cid. Now take this time to explore the only area left in
the city of Lindblum, and go shopping. Buy plenty of items from the
medicine shop, as well as some weapons, and forge new ones at the Synth
shop. It's recommended that you buy Exploda from the Synth Shop, as
well as equipping the Peridot to Dagger before you leave:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires 2 Mage Mashers)....................700 Gil
Exploda (Requires Mage Masher, Mythril Dagger).......1000 Gil <--- Get this!!!
Cotton Robe (Requires Wrist, Steepled Hat)...........1000 Gil
Silk Robe (Requires Silk Shirt, Bandana).............2000 Gil
Desert Boots (Requires Leather Hat, Leather Shirt.....300 Gil
Yellow Scarf (Requires Feather Hat, Steepled Hat).....400 Gil

Magician Shoes (Requires Germinas Boots, Bone Wrist..1500 Gil
Barette (Requires Needle Fork, Barbut)...............1800 Gil
Power Belt (Requires Glass Buckle, Chain Mail).......2000 Gil
Head to the aircab station, and ride the aircab to the [Theater
District]. Enter the artist's house to find some Ore in a chest, then
go south down the steps, and enter the Clock Tower. Open up the
scattered chests to find 340 Gil, 262 Gil, and 993 Gil. Exit the Clock
Tower, and run south to find Lowell, so speak with him, and he'll run
off to Alexandria to find an acting job. Now go back to the [Business
District], and speak with the man in the part of town with the
fountain, and you'll go off to meet with Cid on the base level of the
castle.
He'll tell you not to get lost in the Excavation Site, and he'll give
you the World Map before you head off. Once you reach Dragon's Gate,
speak to Moonte, save your game and use a Tent if you need to, then
give him a letter from Moodon if you have it. Read it, then shop with
the merchant once more before leaving:
Ice Brand...............3780 Gil
Partisan................1600 Gil
Multina Racket...........750 Gil
Stardust Rod.............760 Gil
Thunder Gloves..........1200 Gil
Bandana..................500 Gil

Annoyntment..............150 Gil
Tent.....................800 Gil
Exit onto the World Map, but before heading to Qu's Marsh, head right
(east) and cross the small bridge over the river, then enter Chocobo's
Forest which is directly across from the bridge.
This is the place that you want to go before heading off to Qu's Marsh
again. Once you are here, talk to the Moogle, and he'll tell you to
take his Chocobo, who he calls Choco. Choco runs away, however, but the
Moogle tells you to catch him outside of the forest by finding the
Chocobo foot prints, then using the Gysahl Greens to call him. When
riding a chocobo, you won't come into any random battles while on the
World Map. Go outside, and step on the chocobo marks, then use the
Gysahl Greens to call Choco. Return to the forest, and speak with the
Moogle to learn about the chocobo, and what it can do: It can seek
hidden underground treasures. Now he'll ask you if you want to play a
game for 60 Gil per minute. Say yes, then begin a game:
- How to play Chocobo Hot & Cold -
Directional Pad: Move Choco
[Square]: Dig
When you dig with [Square],
Choco lets you know how close you are
to a treasure. When he finds it,
just dig, dig, dig, Kupo!
- Choco's Cries -
'Kweh' means nothing.
'Kweh!?' means it's far away.
'Kwehhh!?" means you're close.
'K-KWEHHH!!!' means you've found something!
Rare treasures are buried deep.
Once you find something, dig with [Square]!
until Depth reaches 0.
- Other Rules -
POINT SERVICE: You rack up points for each item you find. After enough points,
you can exchange the points for items! This is what it keeps
track of:
High Score (Area)
# of games played (Area)/Total
Current points
DIGGING DEPTH: Each time you press [Square], Choco digs 6 feet underground. The
deeper the item, the more valuable it is, and the more points
it's worth.
POINT VALUES FOR ITEMS:
Echo Screen............01 Point
Soft...................01 Point
Potion.................01 Point
Antidote...............01 Point
Gysahl Greens..........01 Point
Eye Drops..............01 Point
200 Gil................02 Point(s)
Ore....................02 Point(s)
Remedy.................04 Point(s)
Stone with Pattern.....20 Point(s)
NOTE: You also get to keep whatever he digs up, even the Gil
that he digs for you.
POINT BONUSES: If you find a treasure within the 5 seconds of another treasure,
you'll get an additional 5 bonus points.
DIGGING BONUS: If you happen to dig up 4 or more items in one 60 second game
session, Mene the Moogle will give you a bonus, which is that
he'll DOUBLE the amount of points everything is worth for the
remaining amount of time left in your session, and he'll add
an extra 10 seconds to the game clock for you.
POINT EXCHANGE SYSTEM: When you exchange your points for items, you'll get a
list to choose from:
Use your points wisely, and be sure to save up as many
points as you can before trading them in for items. ^_^
LEVELING UP WITH CHOCO: As you collect points, Choco the chocobo can level up.
There are different parts of him, like his Beak. The
more points you rack up, the higher he levels up.
CHOCOGRAPH: This is also known as the "Stone with Pattern", and this area is
located somewhere outside of the Chocobo Forest, and it contains
tons of valuable treasure...
When you're ready, begin to play Chocobo Hot & Cold! Also note that you
can always purchase additional Gysahl Greens from Mene the Moogle for
80 Gil per Gysahl Green. Here are the Chocobo Commands:
- Chocobo Navigation -
[X] : Enter Chocobo's Forest
When you meet certain requirements...
[Triangle] : Open Menu
[Square] : Look for treasures
[Circle] : Dismount
[Select] : Switch navigation map
[L1] [L2] : Camera Control
[L2] : Lock/unlock camera rotation
[R2] : Switch perspective
Now if you exit the Forest, and equip the Chocograph, it'll say to
search the Stream, where it meets the ocean. To find it, simply cross
the bridge again, then run left, and to the beach, and search there for
a chest. Here is what I found in my chest:
2 Elixer
3 Hi-Potion
4 Ether
2 Germinas Boots
When you are done, head back west, and enter Qu's Marsh. Head north to
find Quina in the frog pond, and she'll rejoin your party once more. If
you wish, you can catch some more frogs to earn more items:
2 Frogs: Ore
5 Frogs: Ether
9 Frogs: Silk Robe
When you finish, head north again, and enter Quale's house and speak
with him. Now head back outside of his house, and veer around the back
of it, and Quina will chase some frogs off the screen. She'll lead you
to the excavation site!
Once you enter, you'll have to run away from a killer machine across
three different screens, all containing swinging blades. Be sure NOT to
let him catch up with you, or you'll have to fight him. Try not to
touch the blades either, since they'll slow you down. On the third
screen, stay on the top of the screen, to avoid the large gap in the
road. After the three screens, you'll be safe from him, but then you'll
have to fight a boss battle...
This fight may seem difficult at first, but it's not. Start off by
having Vivi cast Slow on Lani, then have Dagger summon Ramuh on her.
Also, be sure to have Dagger cast Protect and Shell on herself and her
party members during the fight. Use Fira and Blizzara on Lani with
Vivi, and use Quina to mainly heal the party. Use Zidane to steal items
such as Ether, Gladius, and even a Coral Sword, but the latter two
items are very hard to come by. Another note: Be sure to have the
Auto-Potion ability equipped to any party members who can use it, since
it's a very useful ability to have.
Head down the stairs, and at the bottom, run left, and up the stairs
until you find some yellow flowers. Pick one, then move in front of the
hole in the wall, and hit [X] when a "!" appears over Zidane's head.
This will cause the Gargant to eat the flower, allowing you to hop onto
it to ride it to the other side. Once he drops you off, head up the
northern stairs, and speak with the Treasure Hunter to get directions
on where to go. Now run down the stairs, and speak with Mogki to do
several things, like save and such, but also to shop with Mogshop:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Annoyntment...........150 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
You can also purchase a Phoenix Pinion, Ether, and a Remedy for 555 Gil
from Stiltzkin, the gold Moogle.
NOTE: For this part of the walkthough, you'll have to call many Gargants with
flowers (yellow ones). Instead of telling what to do exactly, I'll just
say "Call the Gargant", which means for you to pick a nearby yellow
flower, then standing near it to call the Gargant.
Run down the path to the right of the two Moogles, and call the Gargant
with the yellow flowers here. When he drops you off, head north to find
a chest containing Fairy Earrings. Take them, then return south to
where he dropped you off, and call the Gargant again. Run back to the
Treasure Hunter, and run north of him, and onto the next screen. Call
the Gargant here.
After he drops you off, head to the right, onto the next screen, and
hit the switch. Go back a screen, and re-call the Gargant. When he
drops you off, run up the set of stairs, then north and onto the next
screen to find a chest with some Ether inside. Go back a screen, and go
to where it dropped you off. Once here, head north, and onto the next
screen, and run around the bend, and onto the next screen. Here you'll
find Switch No. 2, so hit it, then go back to where the gargant dropped
you off, and call it again.
After it drops you off, hit Switch No. 1 again, and ride the gargant
back to the first area. Run back past the Treasure Hunter, and run to
the south- east path, and ride the Gargant here to a new area. Run up
the stairs, and hit Switch No. 4, then head through the doorway to the
right of this switch, and call the gargant. Once you've been dropped
off, head to the right, and open the chest to get Lamia's Tiara. Now
return to where it dropped you off, call the gargant, hit switch 4
again, then go back to the right, and call the gargant once more.
In the new area, run to the right to find tons of vines. Climb across
the bottom of the vines, and head through the door. Talk to the
Treasure Hunter here, and give him a potion to dig. Dig up the rocky
wall here to find Kuppo the Moogle hidden behind it (just wait for an
"!" to appear to know when to dig). Here, you can save, use a tent,
shop with MogShop, or get a letter from him that he asks you to
deliver. Do this, and begin your digging. It takes anywhere from 9-50
independant strikes with your axe pick on the areas here, but you can
find numerous Hi-Potions here if you are patient.
When you are done, head down the southeast path, and on the next
screen, head west, and search the corner to find a Survival Vest. Now
return to the vine area, and climb up to the northwestern ledge, and
hit the Exit switch, then climb back down to the lowest ledge on your
right and enter the next area. Call the last Gargant to exit this
place.
Your goal in this area is to reach the yellow building above the open
canyon. Run underneath the suspended building, and around the canyon to
the right, then run onto the raised area in the center, then make your
way across it and into the new area.
NOTE: There is one particular enemy in this area which is a pain in the ass,
and that is the Cactuar enemy. This green guy may look small, but his
1000 Needles attack can whipe out your party in a matter of minutes,
since it takes off 1000 HP of damage if it hits someone. My advice is
to Flee from a fight with this guy, unless your party is EXTREMELY
powerful at this point in the game.
When you first enter Conde Petie, you'll be greeted warmly by the
locals with a solid "Rally-Ho!" from each of the citizens. Search the
area if you wish to activate a few ATEs, then head into the Item Shop
(Wendy's Item Shop), and do some shopping, then save the game with the
Moogle here. When you're done, head up the stairs, and talk to Vivi,
who is speaking with two dwarves. After he runs away, follow him back
down the stairs, and into the Item Shop to find a Black Mage who's
talking to Wendy, then Vivi enters, and chases the Black Mage away.
Now it's time to head to the Southeast Forest, and into the Black Mage
Village, but you should first buy some weapons and items:
Grocer:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Annoyntment...........150 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Conde Petie Weapon Shop:
Poison Knuckles....................5000 Gil
Multina Racket......................750 Gil
Stardust Rod........................760 Gil
Flame Staff........................1100 Gil
Ice Staff...........................980 Gil
Lightning Staff....................1200 Gil
Oak Staff..........................2400 Gil
Mythril Fork.......................4700 Gil
Mythril Armlet......................500 Gil
Lamia's Tiara.......................800 Gil
Ritual Hat.........................1000 Gil
Adaman's Vest......................1600 Gil
Magician Cloak.....................1850 Gil
When you're ready, head out of Conde Petie, and run south of it and
enter the Southeast Forest. To find it, head south of Conde Petie, and
near the ocean. Now head east through the brush, until you find the
green forest towards the end of the forested area. Once you enter,
you'll spot the Black Mage run off to the right. Now follow the signs
in the forest where an owl sits. If he flys away as you run down a
path, then that means that you are running in the correct direction,
which you can find out by reading the sign in the middle of the fork in
the road, and follow the direction that says "Where there are no Owls".
Continue to do this until you spot the Black Mage, so chase him.
As you enter the village, everyone in your party runs off somewhere
else, and you're left with a few ATEs to keep you company:
Life On The Run
Gourmand's Nose
Everyday Life (And many more...)
Enter the Weapon Shop to Zidane's right, and purchase whatever you need
in weaponry and/or armor. Now head to the north, and onto the next
screen. Run across the bridge and enter the Inn, and search the bed for
some Virgo. Exit the Inn, and enter the Medicine Shop across from it,
and search the bookshelf for some Ether, then do some shopping if you
need to. Now exit out of the Medicine Shop, to the south. Run to the
left, and enter the next door, and you'll find Dagger here. Speak to
her, and she runs off to find Vivi. This is the Synth Shop, so be sure
to get some goodies before leaving:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires 2 Mage Mashers)....................700 Gil
Exploda (Requires Mage Masher, Mythril Dagger).......1000 Gil
Rune Tooth (Requires 2 Mythril Daggers)..............2000 Gil
Cotton Robe (Requires Wrist, Steepled Hat)...........1000 Gil
Silk Robe (Requires Silk Shirt, Bandana).............2000 Gil
Desert Boots (Requires Leather Hat, Leather Shirt.....300 Gil
Yellow Scarf (Requires Feather Hat, Steepled Hat).....400 Gil
Glass Buckle (Requires Glass Armlet, Leather Wrist)...500 Gil
Germinas Boots (Requires Desert Boots, Fork)..........900 Gil
Cachusha (Requires Magus Hat, Rubber Helm)...........1000 Gil
Coral Ring (Requires Lightning Staff, Rod)...........1200 Gil
Gold Choker (Requires Linen Cuirass, Soft)...........1300 Gil
Magician Shoes (Requires Germinas Boots, Bone Wrist..1500 Gil
Barette (Requires Needle Fork, Barbut)...............1800 Gil
Power Belt (Requires Glass Buckle, Chain Mail).......2000 Gil
Madain's Ring (Requires Bone Wrist, Stardust Rod)....3000 Gil
Fairy Earrings (Requires Magic Armlet, Soft).........3500 Gil
Reflect Ring (Requires Anklet, Madain's Ring)........7000 Gil
The Rune Tooth weapon is a very good deal, since it's the most powerful
weapon you can get for Zidane so far in the game.
As you exit the Synth Shop, run left, and watch as Vivi runs past you.
Enter the area he came from, and speak to the two Mages here, then run
the way that Vivi ran off to earlier. On the first screen, head to the
northeast, and to the outside of a hut with Mogryo the Moogle. Use him
to save your game, then enter the hut. Speak to the Mages who are
guarding a chocobo egg from the hungry Quina Qu, and search the room to
get some Gysahl Greens. Now run back to the Inn to find Vivi.
Speak to him inside of the Inn, then rest when Dagger comes in. Watch
the cut-scenes, then after they all end, you learn that you have to
reach the Northwest area of the Outer Continent. Before you leave the
village, return to the Synth Shop, and climb the ladder inside. Once
outside, run to the north, and then to the right to find a hidden chest
with 843 Gil! Also while you are here, stock up on tons of Hi-Potions,
and sell all of your normal Potions. Also, you can find a hidden chest
inside of the Synth Shop, with 2000 Gil inside! Return to Conde Petie.
Once you are back here, head to the area guarded by Richard Watchman.
To get here, simply locate the Medicine Shop, and head through the
northern exit. Speak to him, and he tells you to find "His Holiness".
To find him, simply run to the Inn, and you will find him (David
Heavenguard) outside of the Inn. Speak to him to learn that only a
married couple may pass by the guarded area. Dagger agrees to tie the
knot with Zidane, and off you both go.
Watch the funny ceremony, and either choose to go and see the twins at
the gate, or to have Quina and Vivi get married (this is not required,
since Vivi and Quina join you anyways). Head to the guards, and they'll
let you through, but not before a thief runs by, and out of the town.
When you regain control of Zidane, run forward, and into the next area.
As you first enter here, you'll find the little thief hanging alone on
a branch, since her Mog ran away. Quina runs off too, and you get to
now name Eiko, and she joins your party. Right when you take control of
Zidane, equip Eiko with the proper equipment, as well as some good
Accessories, so she can learn some abilities. Now run to where Eiko was
hanging earlier, then climb up the vine, and open the chest for a
Remedy. Now run to the right, and onto the next screen. Once you reach
the stone statue, take out the Blue Stone. Now go back to where you
began.
Run the way Quina ran off to (to the right), and onto the next screen.
Head up the vine to the north right away, and run left and open the
chest to get a Tent. Check the stone statue here, and take the Red
Stone. Go back down the vine, and head right again. On the next screen,
head up the northern ramp, and speak to the Gold Moogle, and buy a set
of Magic Tag, Tent, and Ether for 666 Gil. Give Suzuna a letter if you
have one, then save your game and use a Tent. Head to the southwest
path, up the ladder, then to the right, running along the giant roots.
This guy may seem very powerful, but he's actually rather easy to
defeat, just as long as you use the proper tactics. First off, use
Dagger to cast Protect and Shell on as many party members as you can,
then use her to summon Ramuh during the fight. Use Zidane to attack him
at first, but as you weaken Hilgigars, use Zidane to steal items like
Phoenix Downs and Fairy Flute from him. Be sure to use Eiko to cast
Float on the party, as well as her Phoenix summon, which is very
potent. Vivi's Slow and Thundara attacks work well against Hilgigars
too.
After the fight, take the Yellow Stone from the statue, then head
right. At the next fork, head to the bottom path, and take the Green
Stone from the statue here, and take the Ether from the chest too.
Return to the fork, and take the other path. Continue north until you
exit this area, and you are back on the World Map. Run forward, and
enter the next town.
Once you enter Eiko's home, you'll see that she keeps several Moogles
as pets, but Mog is her favorite one. She'll ask Zidane TONS of
questions, and go to prepare dinner. After she does this, head to the
northeast path. Here you'll find Quina and a Moogle, blocking off a
restricted area. Return back a screen, and an automatic ATE will begin,
and it requires you to help Eiko cook a good meal. Choose whatever you
wish, and go to the left path, and speak to Vivi. Attempt to enter the
kitchen, and you are not allowed to enter, since dinner is not ready
yet. The Moogle will take you to Eidolon wall if you follow him, so do
so.
When you reach the "Eiko's Kitchen" ATE, select 12 people to cook for.
When it ends, go back to where you found Quina earlier, and you'll
learn about the Eidolon Wall. Go back to the main area of the town
(where the fountain is), and search the southern region for a hidden
chest with a Tent. Take it, then go to the entrance of the town to find
Dagger. View the wall, then return back to the kitchen area, and a ATE
will begin (Eiko's Kitchen 2). Go to the kitchen to have a meal, and to
watch a cut-scene. Search the chest here for an item, then carry the
pot into the kitchen for Eiko.
Now just watch the next few cut-scenes, and head back outside. When you
do, you'll be offered to rest up, so do this, then head back to the
entrance of the town. Watch the next cut-scenes, and you'll convince
Eiko to go with you to the Iifa Tree. When you exit back onto the World
Map, take this time to search around and level up as much as you can,
since the Iifa Tree is hard, and there are a few tough boss fights
coming up. Another good idea is to SELL all of your normal Potions, and
purchase as many Hi-Potions as you can, then equip the Auto-Potion
ability to as many characters as you can. This way, when they use an
Auto-Potion in battle, you'll heal them 450 HP instead of a measly 150
HP. Also, be sure to have Eiko learn Auto-Regen, and Fenrir, as well as
High-Tide. Make sure Dagger has learned High Tide and Chemist, too.
When you are all ready, head back to the Mountain Path, and make your
way north, and onto the World Map, then run forward to the giant Iifa
Tree.
When you first enter the Iifa Tree, you'll find that you need to break
a seal outside it. What you need to do is have Eiko break it for you,
and she'll receive the Ruby. Equip this accessory to her right now,
then run forward, and enter the Iifa Tree. Run north along the branches
until you reach a Moogle (Mocchi). Give him a letter if you have one,
then save your game with the little guy. Now continue forward a few
screens until you reach the elevator which takes you down to the center
of the tree. (Have Zidane step on it to activate it).
When you reach the inside of the tree, run down along the branches,
being sure to check each little side-branch that have chests. You
should first hit the switch on the second-lower branch to the right,
and a chest will drop down. Open the chest for a Phoenix Down, then
continue your way down the tree. Along the way down, you'll find a few
chests containing:
- Hi Potion
- Ether
- Lamia's Flute (weapon for Eiko, so equip it)
- Remedy
Search the area for the chests (they're very easy to find, since they
don't require much searching to find), until you reach a green leafed
area, and a leaf-elevator. Your party will step on it, and ride it down
to the bottom of the tree.
As you ride down, you'll have to fight a few battles with some enemies,
but after a while, you'll end up at the bottom of the tree. Your party
will run off, so search the area for two chests. One is at the bottom
of the ramp, and it holds an Elixer, and there is one hidden behind the
center region, and is hidden. It holds the Brigandine armor for Zidane,
so equip it to him right away. When you are ready, examine the
left-most part of the area, and when you see a "?" above Zidane, hit
[X] to activate something. Run up and check with Dagger, and a new
enemy will enter the frey.
This battle can either be very hard or pretty easy. Be warned though,
since at least 2 of your party members will be KO'd, so have Eiko's
Phoenix summon ready to revive them. Have all of your party member's
Auto-Potion abilities on, and have Eiko's Auto-Regen ability on, too.
Use Vivi to cast Bio and Fira, and have Zidane mainly attack physically
for the whole fight. Have Eiko heal and use summons, and have Dagger
use her Ramuh summon, and heal also. If you can, try to steal with
Zidane, but you'll probably be too busy attacking and healing to try
it.
When the boss dies, you'll have to head back to Madain Sari, so go back
to the World Map, and make your way through the Mountain Path, and back
to Madain Sari.
Once back here, run to Eiko's house, and search the kitchen for any
items that you might have missed, like the hidden chest behind the
table, which holds a Phoenix Pinion. Run through the outside kitchen,
down the stairs, and enter the doorway underneath the kitchen, near
where all of the Moogles are.
Inside here, watch the cut-scenes, then when you take control of Zidane
again, open the chest for a Survival Vest, then exit this room. Now run
to the Eidolon Wall, and speak with the Moogles to find out that Lani
has taken Eiko hostage. Have the Moogle restore your MP and HP, then
choose to save Eiko. Watch the cut-scene, then fight the new Red-Haired
man one-on-one.
This fight is really easy, even though Amarant can be decieving. Simply
attack him a few times (have Auto-Potion on), then when he retreats,
wait for him to say "Here I go!" and run back in the fight, then attack
him a few more times. Repeat this until the fight ends.
After the fight, return to the spot where you talked with Eiko earlier
near the kitchen, and you'll get the Memory Earring from Eiko. Watch
the cut-scenes, then exit the room. Rest up with the Moogle in the
kitchen if you wish, then head outside. When you see a "!" above
Zidane's head, press [X], and you'll hear Dagger's song. Watch the
lengthy cut-scenes, and eventually, you'll have Amarant join your party
at the entrance of Madain Sari, then you can choose your party. Choose
whatever party you want to, but be sure to have both Eiko and Amarant
in it, so you can level them up right away, and teach them some
abilities. When you are prepared, return to the Iifa Tree.
Once back here, make your way to the tree, and Zidane as well as the
rest of the party will make their way up to the top of the tree. Watch
the cut-scenes as the story advances, and you'll be forced into a small
boss fight.
This fight is very easy, but it can become troublesome, since there are
two of these guys. They're weak against fire, so use Vivi to cast
either Fira or Bio (Bio works better), and have either Eiko or Dagger
(whoever you have with you) to use a summon spell, then use Zidane and
Amarant to use physical attacks.
Watch the even MORE cut-scenes that follow, and when you take over as
Zidane again, run north to find a hidden Moogle, and save your game.
Save it, then run south down the branch. Once you start running, keep
running WITHOUT stopping, because there are Mistodon's chasing you. If
you go fast enough, you can get to the bottom of the tree by only
fighting once. At the bottom, Dagger will summon Leviathan to help her
mother, but it will only do worse. She'll also get the Aquamarine,
which allows her to summon Leviathan at anytime. Now just watch the
amazing FMVs that follow, and save your game when it asks you to, then
switch discs to Disc 3!
This is your return to Alexandria. You'll watch as the Princess,
Steiner, Dr. Tot, and Beatrix head into the castle, then as Zidane
stays at the pub for a while, while the rest of his gang goes off to
watch Ruby's show. Marcus and Blank meet up with Vivi outside of the
pub, and this is where you will begin the 3rd Disc.
Head right, and into the main part of the city. Talk to Hippaul's
mother down the street to learn that her son, Hippaul, plays too many
card games, and he needs excerise. Agree to race him, and play the game
where you must press [Square] and [Circle] back and forth to race. If
you do this twice, you'll get the Wyerd Card. Get Hippaul to Level 20
to get a Carrion Worm Card, and so on. Head south and into the main
square of town. Search the lower-left hand area of the screen to find a
hidden Zombie Card. Check the northern part of the square (where you
can't see Vivi because of the statue), and search the area for a Lizard
Man Card. Now check the area to the northwest to find the Sahagin Card.
Now return to the Pub, and speak with the bartender to learn that your
friends went to the mini-theater. Exit the pub, and go left.
On the next screen, you can find Doug's Item Shop:
Potion................050 Gil
Hi-Potion.............200 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Remedy................300 Gil
Annoyntment...........150 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Stock up on plenty of Hi-Potions and whatever else you are low on, then
exit the shop. Head north and into the second square of Alexandria.
Talk with the surrounding people, and you'll even find a Flower Girl to
speak to...
Anywho, stop by the surrounding shops (Weapon, Synth Shop, which are
right next to each other...very convienient). Be sure to synth some new
armor, and the Angel Bless weapon. Head north to the dock area, with
the two Alexandrian guards, then search the northwestern stairway to
get a Phoenix Pinion, then search the northeastern stairway to get 3927
Gil! Return back a screen, and head west to the ally, and decline
Blank's request to see Ruby's play, and continue south. On the next
screen, enter the first house on the left, and search the corner to the
left of the table to get some Eye Drops, then exit the house. Now enter
the door below it to find 3 Moogles. Give Kupo a letter if you have
one, then climb up the ladder. Pull the rope at the top, and a chest
will drop. Open it to get Hippaul's treasure, Ironite Card, Goblin
Card, Fang Card, Shiva Card, and Ramuh Card! What a deal!
Climb back down the ladder, and search the eastern part of this room
for a Potion. Now return to the ally where Blank and Marcus are, and
agree to see the play with them.
Run down the stairs, and begin to watch the play. As this starts,
you'll watch a cut-scene with Steiner, Dagger, Tot, and Beatrix. Tot
gives Dagger an Opal, a Topaz, and an Amethyst item. These are great,
since they allow Dagger to summon more eidolons. Also, after that ends,
another cut-scene continues, which shows Eiko talking to Dr. Tot. When
you take over as Eiko, run north, and she'll get knocked over by Baku.
He'll deliver the letter to Zidane.
When you take over as Zidane, head to the left of the Pub, and run to
the dock area near the square (where you found over 3000 Gil). Here is
where you will meet up with Freya and Armarant once more. After
watching the cut-scene, head on the boat that comes for you. Search the
dock at the castle to get an Ether and a Phoenix Pinion. Go left and
enter the inner area here to find another Phoenix Pinion, then return
to the dock, and head to the north this time. You'll find that Steiner
has kicked Eiko out of the castle for being annoying, but Vivi asks if
they can see Dagger, so he agrees. After a long line of cut- scenes,
everyone decides to head to Treno, for the Card Tournament.
Upon entering Treno, your party splits up to go sightseeing, and Dr.
Tot reccommends that you go off and register for the card tournament,
since it is the last day for it. When you get the "How He Ended Up
Here" ATE, choose for Vivi to visit home. Head to Queen Stella's house,
and trade in these Stellazzios for some items:
Virgo: Phoenix Pinion.
Taurus: 2000 Gil
Now head off to the King's Mansion auction house, which lies south of
Queen Stella's house. When the "City People" ATE occurs, Eiko will get
the Chimera Armlet that the Four-Armed Man drops. Enter the auction
house, and bid on a few items, but be sure to get the Dark Matter item,
because it is very rare. I suggest entering the Weapon Shop, and
fighting the monster. If you win (which is easy if you have the Angel
Bless weapon on Zidane; you can kill him in about 2-3 hits), you will
get 15,000 Gil! If you really want to make some cash, find the Treno
citizens, and they'll offer to buy the items you bought in the auction.
If you refuse their offer at first, they will rise their offer. But the
good thing about this is that you can always re-purchase whatever you
sold back at the auction. I don't recommend selling the Dark Matter
though, since it's the best item you can get. Head to the Card Stadium
now, and enter it to start the tournament (NOTE: You can buy four cards
from the Card Seller outside of the stadium; Goblin Card, Flan Card,
Skeleton Card and a Fang Card for 100 Gil each.).
Card Game Tournament
First Round
Opponent: Attic Man Wake
Difficulty: Medium
For this battle, use as 1P, 2P, 1M and 2M cards.
Card Game Tournament
Second Round
Opponent: Cardona Bishop
Difficulty: Medium/Hard
For this battle, use cards with good defense (lots of arrows), and use
ones that are 1P, 2P, 1M and 2M, and higher if you can, but try not to
lose rare, powerful cards, because you will need them.
Now you can challenge the champion, but before doing so, go find the
Moogle near the Weapon Shop, and save your game. Now go back to the
tournament when you are ready.
Card Game Tournament
Final Round
Opponent: Sailor Erin
Difficulty: Hard
This is an easy fight if you use cards with good defense, and ones that
are 1M, 2M, 3M, 2P, 3P, or even 4P. Just place your cards well, and you
should be able to win with ease.
If you win, you will get your pick from a few Oglop Cards, and you will
get the Rebirth Ring. After the fight, you will find that you have
beaten Erin, the pilot of the Hilde Garde 2 airship, which can fly
without Mist. Regent Cid is with her, saying that the ship can't go
very fast, but they made it to Treno. After the talk with Cid, Eiko
runs in, and tells about something terrible happening to Alexandria.
After watching the phat-ass FMV showing Bahamut blowing up Alexandria's
small houses, you'll take over as Dagger, making an important decision.
Assign different tasks to different sets of knights, then begin to save
the citizens of Alexandria with Steiner and Beatrix. You will have to
fight in a battle in each area of Alexandria, which is about 7 fights.
You can get around 1274 EXP from a single Mistodon, so you can level up
quickly here. To beat them, simply use normal attacks from each of the
two soldiers, and use Beatrix's Climhazzard ability when you are
fighting the two Mistodons at once.
After the fights end, you will regain control of Dagger. Run up the
stairs, then head south on the balcony. Now go left and up the stairs,
and through the northern doors. Run to the left again, and run up the
stairs and through the door. Now make your way up the stairs, past the
knight statues that block your route back down with their swords once
you pass them by. Once outside, a FMV shows the castle changing, so
head up the stairs, then continue your way up the stairs until you
reach the roof with the eyeball in the center. Watch the cut-scene, and
as Eiko jumps off the airship, and begins a bitchin' FMV sequence that
doesn't end right away.
When you take control of Zidane, head to where Dagger and Eiko are, and
if you wish to, save the people in the castle along the way. Once at
the top, the game takes over, and you'll watch as Alexandria is
destroyed by a strange man, who seems to be even more powerful than
Kuja...
Once you get into Lindblum with Zidane, open the chest near the bed to
get the Egoist's Armlet, then climb the stairs and open the chest near
the Moogle to get an Elixer. Now save your game with the Moogle. Try to
leave the guest room, and Blank enters, and will tell you where Dagger
is. Exit the room, and head to the elevator, and ride up to the [Upper
Level]. At the top, run north through the doorway, then run through the
lower path, in between the two sets of stairs, to find your party in
the next room. They'll tell you that Cid wishes to meet you in the
Royal Chamber, so leave the room, and head up the stairs, and enter the
double doors at the top. The meeting will start in the conference room,
so watch the cut-scenes and the ATEs. When you take control of Zidane,
run back to the guest room to find Dagger.
After finding out that you need to find the Unusual Potion, Beautiful
Potion, and the Strange Potion, and they have to be mixed at a 5:2:3
ratio, exit the Castle by heading down to the Airship area, and ride to
the [Theater District]. Enter the Artist's house along the way, and
search the area near the stairs to find the Strange Potion after
speaking to the artist. Check the chest in here to get a Lapis Lazuli.
Now head to the clock tower, and Cinna will get the Unusual Potion for
you to borrow. Go back to the clock tower, and enter it. Search the
various chests to get 970 Gil, 4826 Gil, and 1273 Gil! Return to the
airship area, and fly to the [Business District]. Head to the Inn, and
give Moodon a letter if you have one.
Head north to the town square, and enter the house directly to the
north, and search the two chests for an Elixer, and a Remedy. Now head
to the next screen to the northeast, and speak to Alice outside of her
shop, and ask about the Potion. She'll give you the Beautiful Potion.
Now do some shopping at the Weapon/Item and Synth Shops:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires 2 Mage Mashers)....................700 Gil
Exploda (Requires Mage Masher, Mythril Dagger).......1000 Gil

Now with all three Potions in your sweaty palms, return to the Throne
Room in the Lindblum Castle. Everyone decides to go to the Black Mage
Village, so head down to the [Base Level], and hop aboard the Blue
Narciss (you have to ride the trolly to Serpent's Gate). Once at the
gate, you'll find a chest with a Chimera Armlet, so take it, then head
to the dock, and board the airship.
On the ship, you meet Quina again, and you get to choose your party. I
suggest taking along those members who need to level up, like Quina,
Freya, and Steiner. Choose your party, then control the Blue Carciss:
- Blue Narciss Controls -
[X]: Forward
[TRIANGLE]: Return to the deck
[SQUARE]: Reverse
[CIRCLE]: Disembark
[SELECT]: Switch navigation map
[L1, L2]: Camera Control
[L2]: Align Camera
[R2]: Switch perspective
Fly all the way to the northern continent, and head to the shore that
is south of Black Mage Village, and run through the forest, and enter
the Village.
Right when you enter the village, Vivi runs off and leaves you. Run
into the Item shop to find that nobody is there, so the ladder behind
the counter is now available to you. Climb up it, then hop on the bed,
and open the hanging chest to get a Black Belt. Head to the cemetery,
and speak with Black Mage No. 288. Run to the house where the two mages
watch a chocobo hatch, and where Vivi goes. Watch the next few
cut-scenes, then exit back onto the World Map, and return to your ship.
Head north of the Outer Continent, until you reach a sandy beach. Run
on it, and find four sandholes. Enter the one furthest from you, and
more to the north than the others. If you try to enter any other one,
you'll just end up in a battle with a monster.
Once you fall into the hole, you'll find out that you've been trapped
by Kuja, in his home lair. He'll say that he'll let you and your
friends go if you do him a favor, so agree. Walk outside, then south to
the two Black Mages, and you will be transported to Kuja himself. He'll
ask you to get the Gulug Stone for him from Oeilvert, a place with an
anti-magic barrier around it. He doesn't want to go himself for this
very reason. When he asks you to choose a party, I suggest taking along
Amarant, Steiner and Quina, since they don't rely heavily on magic
(Oeilvert has an anti-magic barrier, remember?). Watch as your party is
summoned, then transported to the dock where the Hilde Garde 1 lies.
Run to the right, and up the stairs, then run to the left, and to the
ship itself, and board it.
Once you have landed in the Forgotten Continent, you'll appear on the
World Map there right away. Activate your mini-map on your screen, then
head to the south through the canyons. Once in the first part of the
canyons, head west, and the sky should start to turn darker (a darker
shade of orange), which means that it's turning to nighttime, and you
are heading in the correct direction. Eventually, the path should start
to spiral, and become linear. After a while, you will reach a new
beach. From there, head west some more, and enter the next canyon,
which also spirals around. Follow it, and you will reach Oeilvert in no
time.
Right away, you will meet a Moogle (Mimoza). Speak to him to go
shopping, to save your game, and to deliver his letter to Mooel the
Moogle:
Diamond Sword..................4700 Gil <---
Trident........................3580 Gil \
Mythril Claws..................6500 Gil \

***LARGE NOTE***:
THIS AREA CONTAINS ENEMIES KNOWN AS EPITAPHS. THESE STONE-LIKE ENEMIES
CAN BE STRONG AT TIMES, BUT IF YOU BATTLE THEM RIGHT, YOU CAN GAIN TONS
OF EXPERIENCE POINTS FROM EACH BATTLE:
7000+ EXP. FROM A BATTLE WITH ALL 4 OF YOUR PARTY MEMBERS ALIVE
9000+ EXP. " " " " JUST 3 " " " " "
14000+ EXP " " " " " 2 " " " " "
30000+ EXP " " " " " 1 " " " " "
YA CATCH MY DRIFT? SO IF YOU FIGHT THE FIGHT WITH ONLY ONE CHARACTER
LIVING AT THE END, YOU CAN GAIN SEVERAL LEVELS WITHIN JUST A FEW
BATTLES. THE CATCH? WELL, THEY CAN CAST MIRROR, WHICH "MIRROR"'S ONE OF
YOUR PARTY MEMBERS (NOT NECESSARILY ONE IN YOUR CURRENT PARTY, THOUGH),
AND IT WILL CAST MIRROR A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES IN THE BATTLE, ONCE
AFTER EACH TIME YOU HIT IT OR STEAL FROM IT. THE MORE MIRROR IMAGES YOU
FACE, THE MORE EXP YOU CAN GAIN. BUT TO MAKE THE BATTLE EVEN EASIER,
SIMPLY EQUIP JELLY, LEVEL-UP, AND ABILITY- UP. JELLY MAKES THE
EPITAPH'S ONLY ATTACK, PETRIFY, UN-USABLE.
SO HERE IS HOW YOU SHOULD FIGHT HIM:
- ATTACK ONCE TO BRING ON THE MIRROR
- KILL MIRROR IMAGE
- ATTACK AGAIN TO BRING ON SECOND MIRROR
- KILL SECOND MIRROR IMAGE
- ATTACK ONCE MORE TO BRING LAST MIRROR
- KILL LAST MIRROR
- KILL EPITAPH
I SUGGEST KILLING OFF TWO OF YOUR CHARACTERS, THEN FIGHTING THE BATTLE
WITH ONLY 2 CHARACTERS, THAT WAY, IF IT CLONES ONE OF YOUR CHARACTERS,
THE OTHER WILL NOT BE CLONED (IT CLONES THE SAME MEMBER CONSISTANTLY
THROUGHOUT THE BATTLE). AND IF YOU SURVIVE THE FIGHT WITH EITHER 1 OR 2
MEMBERS, YOU CAN GET ANYWHERE FROM 14000-40000 EXP FOR EACH FIGHT!!!
BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE AUTO-POTION AND JELLY ABILITIES ON, OR ELSE
THIS METHOD MIGHT NOT WORK, AND YOUR CHARACTERS WILL EITHER DIE OFF, OR
BECOME PETRIFIED. I STRONGLY SUGGEST STAYING HERE FOR A FEW HOURS, AND
LEVEL UP YOUR CHARACTERS UNTIL THEY ARE AROUND THE LEVEL 50-60 RANGE,
THEN MOVING ON. THIS ALSO WORKS WONDERS FOR LEARNING ABILITIES, SINCE
YOU LEARN THEM MUCH QUICKER HERE. ENJOY!!!!
Equip the most powerful weapons on your party members, then continue
north. Enter the large doors, and go inside. Head north once inside to
find a chest with a Remedy, then climb the stairs next to it, and go
right to find another chest, this one with a Rising Sun item. Now go
back down the stairs, and enter the door to the left. Inside here, open
the southern chest to get a Diamond Sword (crap, shouldn't have bought
that one from the Moogle...oh well, it's great for Amarant to throw in
a boss fight...). Open the northern chest for a Shield Armor. Go back a
screen, and go back up the stairs, but now go left, and onto the next
screen. Open the chest for an Elixer, then check out the globe, and
make it red. Go back downstairs, and re-enter the room to the left.
As you walk past the center of the room, a hologram will appear, and so
will a short cut-scene. When it ends, go down the southern stairs, and
in the room with two flaming torches near some stairs. Check out the
chest to the right to get a Power Vest, then run up the stairs to find
two yellow floor lights, and a chest with some Feather Boots. Now run
to the light on the floor to the far-left, then activate it. This is
the ANCIENT SHIP. Now continue to activate the next 3 hologram
projectors in this room in a clockwise fashion. Once done, climb the
stairs again, and head out the left exit. Run across the large archway
to the left, until you reach another globe. Check it out, and watch the
cinema. Now when it ends, continue to the right, onto the next screen,
then through the blue door that unlocks for you.
Watch the weird cut-scene, then exit the room, and pass through the
hologram room, and re-enter the first main room. In the main room, head
to the right, and enter the doorway. At this time, equip the Clear
Headed and Jelly abilities to your party, as well as Auto-Potion, and
your strongest weapons and armor.
Save your game with the Moogle, then head right some more, open the
chest for the Gaia Gear, and through the next area. When a hologram
appears, watch it, then head through the next door. Step on the rear
platform, and you will be taken wayyy down to the bottom of this area,
where you can find the Gulug Stone. Attempt to take it, and a boss
fight begins.
For this battle, you'll need to use as many weapons and abilities as
you can. Start off by stealing with Zidane, and try to get the Holy
Lance weapon. Use Quina or Freya to heal the party when required, and
be sure to have a Phoenix Down or two ready. Have Steiner use the Power
Break attack, as well as just normal physical attacks. Amarant should
use his throw ability and toss some EXTRA weapons (extra meaning ones
where you have 1 or more lying around), which causes some good damage.
If you need to replentish MP, use his Chakara ability to replentish MP
of a character. This guy has tons of HP, so keep up your attacks
unrelentlessly until he dies off.
When the fight ends, take the Gulug Stone that you've been dying to
get, and watch as you are transported back to Kuja's home.
When you take over as Cid, hop south to the platform, then go right,
and into the room to start a small mini-game. Here, you'll have to get
past the giant red beast without him seeing you. To do this, you have
to press circle many times to take just a few steps. Press it as fast
as you can while he's looking away, then stop when you hear his noise.
You only have six minutes to do this, then set the weight on the scale
and turn the hourglass, so be quick about it. If you get caught, you'll
have to start over. Once you have the key, place the Clay, Stone, and
Iron weights on the scale, then choose to climb on the scale, and Cid
will turn the hourglass over.
When you take over as Eiko, run into the right-hand room again, and
save your game with the Moogle. Leave the room, and this time, go left,
and onto the next screen, and up the stairs. Light the candle to your
left, then watch as a bloodstone activates to the right. Check it out,
and take the Promist Ring. Equip this to Vivi right away so he can
learn the abilities, then run up the stairs. Examine the statues to the
right of the stairs, then attempt to go to the left exit. Some clear
stairs appear, so take them to the next area.
Run right, and light the candles here. Now go back a screen, and run to
the west. Run up the next stairs, and light the three large candles,
and watch as two mirrors dissappear. Run through the new path, and take
it to the north to re-enter the same area, only now on the other side.
Light the southwest candle here to make the statues on the other side
dissappear, and return there, and light the two candles near the stairs
(one on each side). Now the other statues should dissappear, so run to
the right, and finish lighting the rest of the candles here. Run down
the stairs, and light the last candle here, and a bloodstone will
appear at the top of the stairs. Examine it to get the Anklet.
Now run through the new doorway to the right, and in the narrow
hallway, light the candle that is about halfway down on your right,
then examine the new bloodstone to get the Shield Armor. Run to the end
of this hallway, and run towards the screen, and up the stairs. On the
balcony here, light the first candle, then run around the balcony, and
enter the next room. In the library, run to the far left, and light the
candle to cause some stairs to lower. Run up them, then run to the left
again, and light the next candle to reveal a hidden passage. Enter it
to find the Bloodstone containing a N-Kai Armlet. Take it, then return
to the library, and climb up the smaller set of stairs here. Run right
and light the candle, then head through the new passageway.
Run left up the stairs, and light the candle on the way up. At the top,
light the candle, then run back down the stairs, and re-enter the
library. At the bottom of the bookshelves, there is a statue with an
unlit candle near it. Light it, then head through the newly opened
path. Light the candle out here, then go back, and run to the left,
where the library has expanded. Save your game with Mogsam if you wish
to (it's recommended), then run left.
On the next screen, there are two candles. Light them, take the Black
Hood from the new Bloodstone that lights up afterwards, then head
through the door, across the balcony, and onto the opposite balcony.
Light the next three candles here, and take the Venetia Shield from the
new bloodstone. Now put out the candle that is near the statue of the
angle, but the one that is to it's left. This will cause a shadow to
come up. Now run back across the balcony, and put out the candle that
is to the left of the demon statue here, and another clear, crystal
stairway will pop up. At this time, be sure to equip the N-Kai Armlet
to Vivi, so he can cast Water. Run up the next sets of stairs, and at
the top, light the last candle, and the defense system will activate,
causing a boss battle.
This fight will be very easy if you have deactivated every Bloodstone
in the Desert Palace, since for each bloodstone you deactivate, the
boss loses an enchancement (a Magic enhancment, Defense, Magic Evade,
etc...), and therefore becomes weaker and easier to defeat. It's weak
against water, so use Vivi to cast Water on it, and use Dagger to cast
her Leviathan summon onto the boss as much as you can. You shouldn't
need to heal much in this fight, but if you do, use Eiko to heal, since
she has tons of healing spells at this time. This fight can also become
much easier (and more fun), if you toss a Tent onto the boss himself.
If successful, this will cause the boss to get poisoned, and become
cursed with darkness and become blind (Note: Only do this at the
beginning of the fight, or else you will heal him).
After the fight ends, light the candle once more, then hop into the
light portal that appears.
Once you regain control of Zidane, run off the ship, and back to Kuja's
room to give him the Gulug Stone. Watch as your friends are freed, but
as Kuja kidnaps Eiko, and runs off with the Gulug Stone. Run back to
the teleporter you arrived in, and take it. Once back near the ship,
run towards it to see that it's gone. Run off the screen to the north,
and watch the short cut-scene. Now hit the ground switch behind you to
lower a ladder, then climb down it. Head to the northwest, and exit
this area, and follow him on the Blue Narciss. Make a party that has
Zidane, Steiner, Amarant, and Vivi/Freya.
You'll land on the Lost Continent, and your goal here is to reach Esto
Gaza, which is to the west of where you land. I suggest running a bit
north to find the Chocobo tracks, and calling a chocobo to get there
faster.
Enter the area, and run into the large building ahead of you. Speak
with the Bishop to learn that Kuja, along with several Black Mages,
passed through here earlier, carrying Eiko with them. Before heading
the way they went to Mount Gulug, head right, and into the shop area.
Purchase any new weapons or armor, as well as plenty Magic Tags and
Vaccines. Now return to the room with the Bishop, and head out the
north exit. Speak with Mogrika and read the new letters he/she has,
then save your game. Now head right and down the stairs, then enter the
next area, up the stairs, and enter the doorway at the top.
Right when you enter the Mountain dungeon, head to the right, and into
the small room. A note about this area: All of the enemies here are
fire-based, so be sure to have any type of Water and/or Blizzard/Ice
attacks ready for use in battle, as well as Abilities that act against
poison and heat, like Body Temp and Antibody. Anyways, read the
bulletin board which reads:
Bulletin Board
Don't forget to pull the lever
down when you first use the well!
Slaar the Mole
Check out the southeastern part of the room to get 9693 Gil, then climb
the ladder and search the area for some Ether. Now head to the right,
and down the large ladder. At the bottom, you will find a Red Hat on
the platform to the right of the ladder. Now go back up the ladder,
exit the room, then enter the cabin to the right of where you entered
this area in. Run through it, then on the other side, approach the
rope, and climb down it. Once you first stop, head right, and into a
cabin with Moolan the Moogle. Give him the letter that you should have,
then save your game. Search the lower right-hand corner here to get a
Wing Edge, then exit the room, and back to the rope.
Run past the well and the rope, and run left. Run across the ledge, and
into the next cabin. Open the chest near the entrance to get Demon's
Mail. Read the bulletin board if you wish, then return to the well. Go
back to the house with the Moogle, and exit out the right side of the
house. Out here, head into the hard-to-see house to the north, and head
up the stairs towards the back of the house. Go across the platforms to
the left, and out the exit. Follow the ledge out here to find some Gaia
Gear at the end. Now run back to the well and the lever. As you run
back through the house though, some Red Dragons attack from the roof.
For the fights with them, simply use Water and Ice based attacks, and
it'll be a cinch.
If you read all of the signs and bulletin boards, you should know that
in order to make the well run correctly, you have to pull it 3 times.
If you need to know how, return to the house that is to the west of the
well, and read the sign inside. While you are here, head through the
doorway to the north of the entrance of this house, and you will find
Mogtaka the Moogle. Give him a letter, use the Mogshop, then save your
game. Now run up the stairs next to him, and enter the house to the
right. Run towards the chest and open it to get an Elixer. Oh, and if
you have the Elixer at this time, that means you've already fought the
Red Dragon that freaked the hell out of you when it busted through the
window. :)
Okay, now return to the lever near the well, and pull it down 3 times
to lower a rope. Climb down the rope. At the bottom, another few Red
Dragon attacks, so defeat them, then run through the new hole in the
wall. As you enter, you'll watch as Zorn and Thorn attempt to extract
the eidolons from Eiko, but fail as Mog, her protector, emerges as an
eidolon himself, and enters a boss fight with Zorn and Thorn. Eiko
summons him, and he completely destroys them. Afterwards, Eiko will
receive the Ribbon, which allows her to summon Madeen (Mog) in battle.
After that occurs, Thorn and Zorn emerge together, and form a boss
battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MELTIGEMINI
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level: 42 HP: 24348 Weak against: Mini Spoils: Vaccine(s)
AP: 11 Steal: Vaccine, Golden Hairpin, Demon's Vest
Right away, use a Tent on Meltigemini, so as to make him become bitten
by Silence/Darkness/Poison Snake, which will lower his strength and
defense for the entire fight. This creature has many poison/venom
attacks, but just as long as you have Antibody equipped to all of your
party members, it'll be okay. You'll lose Vivi for this fight, but in
return, you'll get Eiko. Use her to summon Fenrir and Phoenix, and to
heal the party when needed. Amarant's Throw option can do some good
amounts of damage when you choose a good weapon to throw, so do this
every so often. Just use Zidane to attack physically, and use Steiner
to use Magic Break, and physical attacks until Meltigemini dies off.
After the battle, Zidane and th rest of your party meets Hilde, Cid's
long-lost wife. She says she had to give up the Hilde Garde to Kuja,
but will gladly return to Lindblum with Cid. Watch the cut-scenes as
Hilde makes Cid apologize for cheating on her, and as she turns him
back into a human, finally.
When you awaken as Zidane, you are informed that you must meet with
Lady Hilda in the conference room right away. But first, before
leaving, talk to the Moogle here to get a letter from him to deliver,
then save your game. Now run out of the guest room and to the
conference room, which is on the [Upper Level]. In here, you'll find
out that Kuja's home is a place named Terra, and it has something to do
with Shimmering Island. You can't get to Terra straight from Shimmering
Island, but what you can do is to enter a castle in Forgotten
Continent, where the seal can be broken, and to enter Terra. It is
Ipsen's Castle. During this time, a few ATEs will activate, so watch
them.
After the cut-scene, Steiner will enter, and say that Dagger is nowhere
to be found in Lindblum. Zidane sends Blank and Marcus to help him
search for Dagger in Alexandria, but she still can't be found. Baku
then enters, and takes Zidane to meet Beatrix, who gives the Garnet to
give to Dagger when you find her. Right after that, Zidane finds Dagger
at her mother's grave, and he gives her the Garnet. She then takes his
dagger, and uses it to cut off her hair in a cool FMV which also shows
the Hilde Garde 3 take air. Once it takes flight, choose a party of
people you wish to level up, then return to the deck by pressing
[Triangle]. Run down the stairs to the left, and you can find some of
your party members standing around the area. Search the area near
Amarant and the ladder for a Tent, then speak with some of your party
members to get some insight on their views.
When you are ready and have the party of your choice, enter the
navigation system of the ship, press [Select], and fly to the Forgotten
Continent, and check the southern island to find a mountain with some
waterfalls on it. Land right in front of the waterfalls, and run across
the bridge and enter the area.
Go down the right-hand stairs when you enter, and check near the water
for the Capricorn Stellazzio. Now enter the room to the right, and you
can find the Four-Armed Man from Treno from a while back. Ride the
elevator up and talk to Noggy the Moogle and save your game. While you
are here, talk to the Synth man near Noggy, and synth some new weapons
and armor. Head to the left of the Synth Expert, and onto the next
screen, and you will find the Weaponsmith in the left-hand room. He
can't sell anything because his lift is broken, so you need to help
him. Return to the entrance, and head to the left instead of right.
In this room, you will find three levers on the wall. Lower the left
lever twice, until the lift is on the ground, then examine the hole in
the wall. Check out the staff that is lying next to the levers, and
Zidane will put it in the hole. Now lower the right lever twice until
it's on the ground, and ride it up to the weaponsmith. Now buy all of
the great stuff he has for you. Now return to the area outside of his
shop, and press the button to the right of it to hear something which
has happened below. Return to the entrance, and check out the northern
statue to read about the Dragon God's blessing to the Stone. If you
insert Ore into it, you can transform your Aquamarine items, and get 2
of them. Another good thing to do is to fight the Grand Dragon outside
of Daguerreo to level up your weaker characters quickly, and to learn
abilities faster.
When you are ready, go back to the Hilde Garde 3, and fly to Ipsen's
Castle, which lies on the northwest continent (Forgotten Continent).
You can just go to your [Select] menu, and choose the location from the
world map there, then just fly there automatically. It lies inside of
an enclosed canyon. Once you enter the perimeter of the castle, you
must choose a party: Zidane, Vivi, Steiner and either Dagger or Eiko
(healers) for the party. Be sure to equip the weakest weapons that you
have on your party members, because the first half of the castle is
upside-down, so your strong weapons will cause small amounts of damage,
while your weaker weapons will do strong amounts of damage. When you
are ready, run up the large staircase, and enter the castle.
Immediately run to your right to find a semi-hidden chest with the
Aquarius Stellazzio, then check to your left to find another chest
opposite of the first one, this one with Dagger inside. Now run up the
stairs to the north of you. Talk with Kumool the Moogle that is to the
left of you, and save your game, do some shopping with him, and give
him a letter if you have one. Okay, now run to the large pole that runs
downward (across from the Moogle), and use it to climb down a level.
Now run to the northwest (to the left of where you dropped down from),
and climb up the ladder. Hop off to the left balcony, then run to your
left, and through the doorway to the left.
Run a bit north on the next balcony, and head through the next doorway,
which leads to a ladder. Climb up this one, and choose to hop off to
the left, and run around the balcony to find a few chests. The first
one has a Javelin, but you can't access the one behind it...yet. Return
to the ladder, and jump to the right now. Run across the balcony and
open the chest at the end which contains a Broadsword. Go back to the
ladder, and climb down to the bottom, run right and up the stairs, and
onto the next ladder. Hop off the first chance you get as you climb up
it, and run around the balcony to the right. Run around to the chest,
and get the Rod. Go back to the ladder, and climb up it again until
Zidane automatically jumps off it. Enter the doorway to enter a room
with red carpet. Check out the carved wall to the eastern part of the
room, and do these in this order:
Do this, and the door will open. Once outside, go right and open the
chest for a Barette. Return to the red carpet room, and use the
mini-elevator that is in the northern part of the room. At the top,
you'll find Amarant. Run to the back, and take each of the four
mirrors:
Wind Mirror: "My power is protected behind a tornado."
Water Mirror: "My power is protected underwater, surrounded by the
earth."
Fire Mirror: "My power is protected high atop a fiery mountain."
Earth Mirror: "My power is protected under the shaking ground."
After taking all four of these mirrors, attempt to leave, and Taharka
appears for a boss fight.
This battle is much easier if you have a Tent or two to spare at the
beginning of the battle, so throw one on him right away. Also, if you
have Auto-Regen or Auto-Life with the Auto-Potion and Chemist
abilities, that would make this fight easier than normal. This boss
doesn't like fire spells much, so use stuff like Firaga, Flare, Bahamut
with Dagger, and other stuff too. So basically, use Flare with both
Vivi and Steiner, use Bahamut with Dagger, and use Zidane to steal
items like the Mythril Claws and Elixers.
After the boss dies off, it's your job to leave the castle. Exit out
the door, and exit out of the red carpet room to the right. Now climb
down the ladder, and make your way all the way back to the pole where
the Moogle is. There are a few traps in this room, and you can get back
to where you are if you fall into them. One of them leads you to the
top of a chandelier, where a chest lies. It's also a good idea to save
your game again with the Moogle. Check out the chest to the northwest
of the room to get some Cat's Claws. Return to the entrance of the
castle, and you'll notice that there is a new stairway to the right,
and a new path is in between these stairs and the doorway that you just
came out of. Enter it to return to the upper-level of the Moogle area,
then run across the ledge, and onto the next screen. Run down the
stairs, and enter the new area.
Run all the way to the left to find a chest with the Air Racket. Now
hop onto the center elevator, and you will enter a red-carpeted room
with an electrified sword. Open the chest here to get the Golem's
Flute, then grab the left-hand vase first, and move it to the open
shelf to the left, and do this a few times with both vases (move them
in a counterclockwise direction), until the sword gives power to them.
Check out the vase to get the Ancient Aroma. Now return to the pole
near the Moogle, and climb up it, and land on the chandelier. Open the
two chests to get a Mage Staff, and a Fork. Go back to the entrance,
and exit the castle.
Outside, you will find out that Amarant is still inside of the castle,
so re-enter it, and head into the Moogle room, and climb down the pole
to find Amarant. At the bottom, you can hear him, so head south of this
room, and Zidane will find Amarant lying down. Now make your way back
up the pole, and re-exit the castle again. Outside, you'll find out
that there is some kind of a connection between the 4 mirrors and the
seal. There are 4 shrines you must locate, and conquer at the same time
by splitting your party up. Once on the ship, re-equip your party with
the strongest weapons, then re-assemble your party, then prepare to
take flight.
Now it's time to take flight, and locate the four sacred shrines in Gaia:
WATER SHRINE: This one is easy, since it's directly south of Ipsen's Castle
on the Forgotten Continent. It's out in the sea, and is
surrounded by a large whirlpool, and when you hover above
it with the Hilde Garde 3, it says "Water Shrine". Here, you
will have Dagger and Eiko enter this shrine.
FIRE SHRINE: This one is located on the Lost Continent, northeast of Esto Gaza
and Mount Gulug. It's really easy to spot, since it's a fiery
volcano which is surrounded by ice. Here, you will drop off
Freya and Amarant.
WIND SHRINE: This shrine is also on the Forgotten Continent, to the southeast
of the large continent. It's hidden within a narrow canyon, and
has some large vines covering it up, but once you get near it,
you'll know it's the Wind Shrine. Here, you'll drop off Vivi and
Steiner.
EARTH SHRINE: This is the shrine you and Quina Qu will be entering, and it's
located on the Outer Continent, on the grassy plains. It has
a few small peaks surrounding it, and the ground shakes when
you get near it. It's to the southeast of the Iifa Tree, and
is on the southeast tip of the continent.
This Shrine is where you and Quina will play in. Equip Quina and
yourself with the strongest Armor and Weapons, then head down the
stairs. As you first enter the hallway, a trap is activated, so when a
"!" appears over Zidane's head, hit [X] right away to avoid being
crushed. Watch the few cut-scenes that occur that show the others in
the other shrines, then approach the mantle where you put the Earth
Mirror into, and watch as the other party members do the same, but you
have to fight the Earth Guardian.
This fight can be easy if you have Auto-Regen and Auto-Potion both
equipped. Right away, toss a Tent onto the Earth Guardian, then use
Quina's Mighty Guard ability on her and Zidane. Now use Zidane to
physically attack him over and over again, and use Quina to use her
Blue Magic like Bad Breath, or Lvl 4 Holy attacks. This fight isn't too
tough, just as long as you keep your health up.
After the fight, a few cut-scenes ensue, and you take control of the
Hilde Garde 3 once more. You have to take it to the Shimmering Island,
which is the island to the south of the Lost Continent.
Once you land, you will meet up with Garland for a moment, then he'll
disappear. Dagger enters and tells you to come along. Follow her to the
next screen, and Zidane will see a blonde girl who runs away from him.
Follow her to the next screen, then check out the chest to the left for
an Elixer. Now run towards her again to cause her to run off again, so
follow her across the bridge, and then down the bright blue web. Climb
down the second web to find a chest with a Remedy, then go back up the
web, and run to the left, and hop across the gap. Keep running around
to the right and open the chest that has a Mythril Racket. Take it,
then climb down the next web near the gap. At the bottom, open the
chest to get a Demon's Vest, then approach the girl. Now follow her
onto another bridge, then after she tells you to keep going, continue
across the bridge to the other side. Now just make your way up the
stairs, until you reach a large set of steps where the girl stands, and
says "welcome home" to Zidane.
Right away, Dagger looks up, watches something happen, a FMV occurs,
then she passes out. Run down the stairs to Zidane's left, and speak to
the two people to find out where the Inn is, then enter it. The party
brings Dagger to the Inn, and she awakens. Re-enter the Inn, and open
the chest for some Elixer, then exit the Inn. Now head north and
through the doorway, and into the room with many people. Head out of
the doorway to the right, and into the main part of town. Enter the
shop to the right, and you will find a chest with a Wing Edge, and a
Moogle trapped inside of a large vase. Open it and save Moorock the
Moogle. Do some serious weapon Shopping here, and save your game. Be
sure to buy the strongest weapons as you can here. Return to the room
with the numerous amounts of people standing around the large center
crystal, then head down the stairs here.
At the bottom, speak with the Girl to learn that they are Genomes, and
they live in this village. She leaves, so follow her to learn a lot
more about Zidane, and this place. When you take over as Eiko, run to
the entrance of this area to find Amarant. Talk to him, and he'll say
that Zidane went through the portal, and Amarant will join you. So pass
through the portal, and follow the path to the blonde girl, and speak
with her, and Eiko will run off to get the others.
Right when you enter this area, Garland meets with you, and walks off.
Follow him throughout this area by hopping from platform to platform as
he speaks to you about Genomes, Gaia, and Kuja. After that ends, a
cut-scene starts, and Vivi and Eiko try to get Zidane to shapen up, but
he ignores them. This starts a fight with Amdusias, in which some of
your party members join in to help. Right after that, Zidane joins
Quina and Steiner in another fight. Again, after that, Zidane gets in a
fight with a Shell Dragon, in which he has trouble with, and Dagger
enters, and helps him fight the monster off.
When you regain control of Zidane again, run through the right door,
and follow the path until you meet up with your party once more. Use
Moorock the Moogle to arrange your party, then head to the right again,
and follow the path way back to where Zidane was found by Eiko, and
search his throne for the Holy Miter. Return to the moogle and save
your game, then head back to the left again. Continue this way until
you reach an area full of blue lights. Check the control panel to the
left of the entrance, and hit the switch to activate the lights, which
also starts a 30 second timer for a bridge. Avoid the blue lights, and
run across the room, then over the bridge before the timer runs out.
In the next room is a machine that turns the direction of the elevator
in the next room. The elevator takes you to the top of this area, but
you'll have to ride it up a few floors, then run back down and move the
position of it to align with your desired position in order to reach
the top of this area, and to reach the top room. This might take a
while, so good luck. Once you reach the top room, head to the red
transporter to the left, and you will find yourself inside of a room
with a bunch of blue transporters. Use the blue transporters to search
the room for chests containing stuff like Battle Boots, Elixer,
Carabini Mail, and even a Moogle. Take this time to get your desired
party (have Eiko and Dagger in it), rest up with a Tent, and equip
anything you need to (the strongest stuff you have), and enter the door
to the right of Mozme the Moogle.
For this boss fight, you must have the Auto-Potion, Auto-Regen, and the
Auto-Life abilities equipped if you want to survive. It's not that this
fight is really hard, but the next two upcoming battles ARE hard, and
having these abilities will help drastically in the upcoming battles.
The Silver Dragon uses sleeping attacks, so Insomniac will help, as
will any other anti-sleeping equipment. Use Dagger to summon Bahamut as
much as possible, and use Eiko to summon Madeen for an easy fight. And,
if possible, use Zidane to steal any items that he can before you kill
off the Silver Dragon.
This fight is difficult, but just as long as you have Auto-Life,
Auto-Regen, and Auto-Potion, you should be able to keep up with
Garland. Use Eiko to summon Madeen once more for this fight, and use
Dagger to summon Bahamut as well as Odin for this fight. Having Reflect
casted and/or equipped to your party is also a good idea, since Garland
has some nasty attacks that he uses against you. Try with all of your
might to steal items from Garland, since he has Ninja Gear and Battle
Boots, which are strong equipment items.
Once more, all of the "auto" abilities are a GREAT help in this battle,
since Kuja is stronger than Garland, and has more HP, since it takes
more damage and time to take him down. Use Eiko's summon attacks to
benefit the party, like Phoenix if necessary, and Carbunicle on the
party. Once more, use Zidane to attack physically a few times, but then
as you weaken Kuja, use him to steal useful items from Kuja. Dagger's
summons rock in this fight, since both Odin and Bahamut do some serious
amounts of damage to Kuja. One more thing: A Tent at the beginning of
the fight (on Kuja), will do wonders if he gets bit by the snake, since
his defenses are weakened, and so are his other stats. You can't beat
Kuja, since towards the end of the fight, he goes into Trance mode, and
casts Ultima on your party, which ends the fight.
Watch as Kuja basically goes wacko, then the sweet ass FMV that
follows. When you take over as Zidane, run north, then down the steps,
and run across the hologram bridge that appears. Run up the next set of
steps that are in between the eyes, then run back to Bran Bal, and
return to the basement where you met the Blonde Girl to see a bad-ass
FMV sequence, and to wrap up Disc 3.
As you boot up Disc 4, you'll see that Zidane and his party have rested
at the Black Mage Village, and are giving the blonde girl a small tour
of sorts. Everyone speaks about life, time, things you can eat, money,
and Kuja, and the Mist. They all discuss different things, and it's
cool to see their imput on things. After a bit, everyone will head to
the Iifa Tree, so select your party (I had Zidane, Dagger, Steiner and
Vivi).
Fly to the Iifa Tree in the Invincible, and fly into the mysterious
purple and black orb that is hovering above the Tree, and watch the
sweet FMV that ensues. And right when you enter the area, you have to
fight a boss...
This is one tough motherf*cker, and has tons of HP for this fight.
Start off with a Tent or two to try to get him bitten by the snake in
the Tent, then have Dagger summon Bahamut or Odin, or both. Use her to
heal and summon for the entire fight. Use Zidane to attack mainly
physically, but then to use stealing abilities to steal useful items.
Steiner and Vivi make a great team, so use the Flare and Firaga and
Thundagra abilities, as well as Steiner's Climhazzard attack on the
dragon.
As soon as you enter this place, Garland talks to you, and tells you
where you are, and what it is. You are in Memoria, a place where
memories are stored. Zidane has no idea what he means, so he decides to
head forth. Choose the same party as you had earlier, then equip them
with the strongest weapons and armor. Now run north, and into the main
castle. Right when you enter the castle, you'll have the option to
return to the Invincible if you'd like. Also, there is a hologram
globe, where you can save your game, use a Tent, and switch party
members with. These are just like Moogles. Save your game here, then
continue forward, and into the doorway.
Run down the circular stairs to the left, and out onto the balcony. Run
up the stairs here to the right, then continue up the next set of
stairs to the left. Once you get up the last set of stairs to the left,
and are running left, check the small alcove to the left of Zidane to
find The Tower weapon. Equip this to Zidane right away. Now continue to
the north, and onto the next screen. Run forward to initiate a boss
fight.
Maliris is the first of the Four Choas Guardians in Memoria, and she's
quite tough for the first of many bosses. Use the Thievery skill of
Zidane right away, then use him to steal as many items as you can,
since she has some amazing weapons, like the Ultima Sword. Use Vivi to
cast Blizzaga and Steiner to use Blizzaga sword, since she's weak
against Ice and Water (use Dagger's Scan ability if you don't believe
me...). Dagger should be the healer here, since she has tons of Healing
spells, but you won't need her for this if you have Auto-Regen...
After the boss battle, continue forward, and through the next doorway.
Now watch the cut-scene, then run north and onto the small platform.
There is a hidden save point to the right, and an Angel Flute to the
left. Use the save point, and place Eiko in your party if you wish,
then take the Flute, and continue to the right. Head to the right, and
up the stairs, and into the stormy rooftop. You can find a secret card
gamer to the left, so play if you wish, then head right, and continue
along until you see Zidane have a "!?" above his head. Zidane sees a
scene that shows Dagger as a girl, getting into a boat in the storm.
After seeing this, head up the stairs, and fight the next boss.
This is the second Chaos Guardian, and also a toughie. He's weak
against Earth, so use Vivi and Steiner to both use Meteor abilities,
and have Eiko summon both Fenrir and Madeen in the fight. Beware that
Tiamat might blow one or two of your characters off-screen with an
attack, so be ready when this happens. If possible, use Thievery with
Zidane, then steal any items that you can from Tiamat before you kill
him. Also, Comet and Meteor with Vivi work well against him.
After the fight, continue up the stairs, and through the eyeball
doorway, but not before searching the stairs for the Rune Claws. On the
next screen, run up the stairs, and follow the path until you reach the
outer-space area of the stairs, wher Garland tells you about Terra and
Gaia emerging. Continue up these steps, and onto the next screen, and
use the Hologram Ball to save your game and rest. Now run under the
waterfall to watch a scene with Quina trying to swim. When it ends, you
can either do one of two things: Either continue forward up the stairs,
or go right, and speak with the man to fight an optional boss, Hades.
To do this, simply press [X] while Zidane is not visible, until a
Mysterious Voice asks him who disturbs his sleep. If you choose not to
leave, then you will fight him:
To defeat Hades, simply use Steiner and Vivi to cast the same ability
(like Flare or Blizzaga or Thundaga), and use Steiner to cast
Climhazzard for some easy damage. Steal with Zidane, and use Dagger's
summons to kill Hades in no-time flat.
After the fight, head up the stairs, and fight the third Chaos Guardian.
Start off this fight by killing off Kraken's two tenticles right away,
or else they will attack your party for the entire fight, and surely
kill some of your party members. Use any Fire abilities of Vivi or
Steiner, like Firaga, Climhazzard, and Flare. Use Zidane to use
Thievery and steal, then use him to attack. Once more, Dagger should
summon a few times with Bahamut, then heal the others when needed.
After the fight, continue up the stairs, and to the next screen. Near
the clock, there is a hidden save point to the northeast, on the ledge.
Use it to save and rest, then head to the left and up the stairs. Head
through the door, and climb up the ladder near the large fireball in
the sky. At the top, search the northwest part of the platform to get
the Mace of Zeus. Equip this to Vivi, then climb the next ladder. Enter
the purple doors, and fight the last of the four Chaos Guardians.
Lich is the last of the four Chaos Guardians, and is the toughest one
out of them. He's weak against Wind and Thunder, so use Meteor and
Thundaga with Vivi, and Shock with Steiner, as well as Climhazzard,
because it does some good damage. After enough attack with your
characters, use Zidane to cast Thievery, then steal what he can from
Lich. Eiko's summons (mainly Madeen), are great against Lich.
When the fight ends, go to the left and save your game and rest at the
save point, then head north, and float off into space. Now just move
Zidane to the very top of the screen while he's in space. Now just
follow the crystal road all the way to the end, until you find a
Hologram Globe. Save your game, rest up, and find the party that you
want for the final fights of the game, then make sure you have
Auto-Potion, Auto-Regen, and Auto-Life all equipped to your party. Now,
when you are ready, enter the doorway, and face the next few bosses.
This guy has no weaknesses, so it's a hard fight. Start off by tossing
a few Tents onto him so the snake bites him, and his stats will drop,
then have everyone just plain go buck-wild on his ass. Use Zidane to
attack physically, Steiner and Vivi to cast things like Thundaga,
Flare, Shock, Climhazzard, and others. Have Eiko summon Madeen for the
entire fight, as well as Phoenix if needed. But if you have Auto-Life
and Auto-Regen, you should almost be invincible.
Before you challenge Kuja, return to the last Hologram Globe and save
one final time, then return to Kuja, and fight the last two bosses in
the game.
I hate this fight. Why? Well, it's hard as hell, his attacks are strong
as hell, and after you do some damage to him, he uses Curaga, and heals
his ass. >_< Well, no use whining about it. ;) Anyways, start off by
using some kind of a protection summon or ability, like Regen, or
Eiko's Carbunicle summon to protect your entire party for the fight.
Don't steal with Zidane unless you REALLY want what Kuja has, and he
doesn't have anything worth stealing, and wasting a turn for. Use
Zidane to attack, and have Steiner whoop ass with his Climhazzard
attack, and have Vivi use Flare or even Doomsday (NOTE: Only use this
one if your party has Auto-Regen and Auto-Life, or else you're screwed,
and do it towards the end of the fight). Eiko's Madeen summon works
extremely well too. But watch as Kuja performs Ultima, and casts your
party to another place...
ARGH!!! Wasn't Trance Kuja enough?!?!?!!? Damn. Well, this fight goes
without saying, that he is the cheapest, hardest S.O.B in the game, and
one of the hardest bosses to defeat in a RPG for a long while. As
always, use Eiko to summon Carbunicle to protect your party, and don't
even try to steal from Necron with Zidane, unless you are insane. Use
Steiner and Vivi's magic attacks like Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga,
Flare, and Climhazzard. Vivi's Meteor attack works well too, as does
Steiner's Shock attack. Eiko's Madeen Summon should be her only attack
for the whole fight, unless you need her to heal your party up with
Curage or something. His Grand Cross attack will literally kill half of
your party, maybe even more. If you don't have Auto-Life and
Auto-Regen, then you are basically screwed.
After the intense battle, watch the amazing ending sequence where all
is revealed!
"My memories will be part of the sky."
By the way, after the credits roll, let "The End" appear, then a cool
mini-game will begin that you can play. See the "Mini-Games/Side
Quests" section in the Part II of this FAQ.

• Whenever you are fighting enemies, take a look at what their weakness
is (example: A Flower-type enemy would be weak against Fire or Flare).
This is very important, since if you know what the enemy's main weakness
is, you can properly plan ahead in the fight, and know what kind of attacks
to use against that enemy.
• ALWAYS use the Opposite attack/ability/magic attack that the enemy's
strength is (i.e., use Fire against Water-based enemies, or just use
the attacks/abilites that the enemy is weak against).
• Try not to use powerful attacks or use more than one party member with
the same Innate color as the enemy(s). This is because if you are a Red
Innate color fighting a Red Innate color enemy, you will take more damage,
as well as give off more damage to that enemy. Although the upside to this
is that it goes both ways, so your attacks will give off a bit more damage
to your foe, and they will take more damage than usual.
• Save your game whenever possible, no matter what. This is the most basic
rule for all RPGs, since saving is crucial, especially for a 50+ hour game
like Final Fantasy IX™. Don't be cocky and try to be "the man" by trying to
see how far you can get without saving, because something bad will
happen (i.e., you die in battle, the electricity goes out at your place,
your little brother/dog/cat/hampster accidentally turns off your
PlayStation), and you will lose TONS of gameplay and precious game hours,
and you will go crazy, get pissed off, and break your controller, or do
something else in a fit of rage. Not good. Not good at all. So remember
kiddies: Always save your game.
• Oh, and save your game at the right spots in the game. For all of you
out there who do not know how to save your game (don't worry, I forgive
you), here's how. There are two ways to save your game:
A) Save with a Moogle, which are those little cat-like animals that appear
at various spots in the game, like Inns, or at key places in
the game, and mainly before a tough area or a boss fight.
B) Or you can save on the World Map. To do this, just get onto the World
Map, and press [Square] to call a Moogle, and save your game like
normal with him. Simple eh?
• Choose your fights wisely. You should run into enemies in random battles
in most areas of the game, and you should fight most of the stronger
enemies if you want to increase your HP fast, or if you are just plain
bored. Of course, there are some enemies who you must fight to access
a chest or a hidden place, or a new area, but these are useful battles.
• When in doubt, run away from the battle. 99% of the time you can run
away from a battle successfully, without losing anything except Gil.
I suggest doing this only when you are either VERY low on HP, or you
need to replentish your Magic and/or Armor and Accessories. You should
do this when necessary and stock up any items that you may need for
the fight, and to beat the ferocious monster.
• Turn on the option that lets you see what world you are in on the World
Map. Just by seeing what World you are in increases your chances of
succeeding in the game, and vastly decreases the chance that you will
get lost or stumped in the game.
• Speak to everyone. Hell, speak to everyone twice or three times in fact.
Why? Simple. Because people give you precious hints for your quest, and
can also give you Key Items for the game, as well as trigger certain
events in the game, some of which are crucial to your game advancement.
• Search high and low, near and far for any items that you can access. Doing
this (searching everywhere basically), increases your chance of getting
that Key Item that you need to recruit a party member, or just a item
or element that will save you Gil, since instead of having to purchase
that element or item or armor/accessory/weapon, you can just find it in
a Chest or under a bed or something.
• Synth items, synth items, synth items! Synthing is a wonderful addition
to the game, and is a welcome feature to Final Fantasy IX™. Synthing weapons
allows you to choose the specific type of weapon/armor/accessories that
you want/need for the game, and select how strong your weapon/armor/acc-
essories are, depending on what item/weapon that you choose to Synth.
• Always buy in bulk. Buy your items that you can find in bulk, or
in other words, buy a lot of them. Buying around 10 items of the
same kind allows you to use all of them a lot more in battle, which
makes you all the more powerful against your enemies, especially
defensively.
• Once you find an attack or ability that does some SERIOUS damage to your
enemy, keep using that attack, then just continue to pound your enemies
with the effective attacks and elements.
• Level up as much as possible early on in the game. Doing this allows
you and your party to become stronger earlier in the game, and therefore
making most battles and boss fights a lot easier. Leveling can take a
lot of time, since as you gain levels from monsters and fights, it takes
more EXP (experience points) to level up your characters. In the Side-
Quests/Mini-Games section, I have pointed out a very good place to
level up quickly, so be sure to read it in that section to learn more
about how to level up as fast as you can. By the way, if your characters
are strong throughout the game, you won't have to worry as much about
your weapons and items, and you can focus more on the smaller things
about the game, like the Side-Quests, and just having fun, rather than
making long-winded strategies just for a boss fight.
CJayC- For accepting all of my FAQS, and for creating the best web site on
the net!
Me- For making this FAQ! :p
Final Fantasy IX Instruction Booklet- I used the Status Effects info from the
book in my FAQ.
Dan Birlew/Squaresoft/Brady Games- I referred to his/their official strategy
guide to get some item stats, and the
attack power for a lot of the weapons in
my weapon/equipment lists, as well as some
of the equipment stats.
