In my FAQ, I try not to use Spoilers. I tried my best at this, as this is pretty much my second time playing this game again. Since I know where to go and stuff, I am aiming for a low-level playthrough up to Zozo, so all of your leveling up is up to you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _____ / ____\ ___ __ | ___ __ | ___ | | / \ |/ \ _|_ / \ |/ \ _|_ / \ | | | | | | | |____/ | | | \___ | |_____ | | | | | | | | | \ \_____/ \___/ | | | \___/ | | | \___/ * = under construction I.

Acknowlegdments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 1: Narshe Infiltration--[W1] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Watch the opening and learn about events. After that, watch or skip the snowfield trotting scene. You will now be in control. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Narshe TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This area is pretty straight forward. Just proceed up and you will be in your first battle. The first against 2 Guards. Defeat them easily with any beam attack or Bio Blast. Go up and you will get into 2 more fights back to back. The first one is against 2 Silver Lobos. They are easy to defeat. The next is against 2 Guards. Defeat them easily. Go up and you will get into yet ANOTHER fight. This time it is an attack from both sides (Surrounded). This is a disadvantageous position, as if a party memeber is attacked physically from behind, he/she will take double damage. In this case, don't panic. They are weak, so just attack. Go up. On the next screen, just proceed as normal and you come to, once again, another fight. This one may be a little tough. It is a fight against 2 Megalodoth and 2 Guards. The main concern is the Megadoloth. They can hit pretty hard, but they are not that tough. After the fight, go up through the cave. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: Narshe Mines TREASURES: None ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This area has some enemies. Go up and to the left, a save point. Save your game if you wish. Go up and a conversation will unfold. Guess what? THE FIRST BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Ymir HP: 1,600 Ymir (Shell) HP: 50,000 --This boss is pretty easy. All you have to do to try not to strike the shell. If you do, it will counter with Megavolt, which can target all or target a single party member, and it hurts. The boss uses Slime, which inflicts Slow. Try to take it slow, as the boss does retreat inside of its shell. Like I said, strike the shell and face the wrath of Megavolt. --The strategy: use any beam (even Thunder, since the head, not the Shell, does not absorb it). Have ?????? use Magitek Missile on the head. If you need to heal, use Healing Force or use ??????'s Cure magic. It's possible to defeat the shell, but it is not worth it. Trust me. DROP: Hi-Potion (the head), Ether (the shell) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, proceed up and the party will come across a frozen Esper. Watch the events unfold. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ After the event, the scene switches to ?????? in a house. Go left and watch the events unfold. After the name selection, watch the events unfold. After the man asks Terra to follow him, go through the door and follow the path. Check the clock for an Elixir. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 2: The Escape--[W2] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: Narshe Mines TREASURES: Phoenix Down, Sleeping Bag ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NOTE: If you see any item boxes, it will be best to leave them alone for now. They will change later on. This area is straight forward. Follow the path and you will come across a save point. Proceed up and open the chest for a Phoenix Down. Proceed onward and you will come across another chest containing a Sleeping Bag. Go up and watch the event unfold. Now Terra is in some unknown area. More events unfold. Now the scene switches as another character is introduced. After the name selection, watch the conversation. After that, the scene then switches to where Locke finds Terra. Watch the events unfold and then we are introduced to a band of Moogles. Then there will be a tutorial about using 3 parties. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Guide Locke to an intersection and the other teams to another intersection. If one of the enemies touch one of your teams, then they will get into a battle. If you the team with Mog in it, Mog will learn a Dance called Twilight Requiem. If any of the party gets defeated, they will restart at 1 HP. When you destroy all of the enemies, go down to the leader. BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Guard Leader HP: 420 Silver Lobo x2 HP: 27 WEAK vs. Poison (Guard Leader), Fire (Silver Lobo) --The Guard Leader uses Net, which inflicts Stop. Watch out the Guard Leader's Charge. It hurts. --Strategy: Use Mog's team and use Twilight Requiem. If you use Locke's team, you can steal a Mythril Knife. To heal, you best off using Hi-Potions. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, watch the events unfold. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ When you take control of Locke, go to the man in front of the house to gain access. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Narshe TREASURES: Ether, Sleeping Bag -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In the Adventuring School, go to the bucket and examine it to get fully restored. Go through the door near it and save your progress. Open the chest to trigger a fight with a Silver Lobo. Defeat it and you will get...well, nothing (I label these type of chests "Monster Chest".) Examine the pot in front of the man for an Ether. Go out and go right and go through the first door you come across. Inside, open the chest for a Sleeping Bag. Go out and go to the door next to it. Inside, open the chest for a Potion. After exploring, head outside. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 3: To Figaro--[W3] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [WORLD MAP] From Narshe, head S through a forest and SW through a desert. Proceed SW until you see a castle. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Figaro Castle TREASURES: Phoenix Down, Potion, Antidote, Gold Needle -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Go up and you will be stopped. After recognition, just keep going up and you will meet the king of Figaro Castle. Watch the events unfold. After the conversation, go out and head left or right and then up through a passage. Open the chest for a Phoenix Down. Go down and go right to a room. Inside, open the chests containing a Potion and an Antidote. Talk to the man, as he sells Tools. These are used by Edgar. +---------------+ | Tool Shop | +---------------+------+----------------------------------+ | Items | Cost | Effect | +---------------+------+----------------------------------+ | Auto Crossbow | 250 | Hits all enemies | | Noiseblaster | 500 | Inflicts Confuse on all enemies | | Bioblaster | 750 | Deals Poison damage and Sap | +---------------+------+----------------------------------+ Go out and go to the door to the left.

Go up and rest. Go downstairs and follow the path. Outside, go left and go into the tower. Talk to the old woman to learn about Edgar. After the event, go outside to the world map and save. Go back in and head to the Throne Room and talk to Edgar. View the conversation and then Kefka appears. Watch him talk and stuff and then Edgar appears. Guide Edgar and talk to the 2 Soldiers and Kefka. After Kefka leaves, go up and talk to Locke. After talking to Locke, guide Terra and follow Locke. View the conversation and watch the events unfold. When Kefka appears, talk to him. Now go up as you would go to the Throne Room and talk to the soldier. Watch the events unfold. BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Magitek Armor x2 HP: 210 --These two bosses are not that difficult. They use Metal Kick and Magitek Laser. Be extra careful about Magitek Laser, since its does a good chunk of damage. --Strategy: Attack and use Edgar's Tools. Use Terra's Fire to deal some good damage. Edgar's Noiseblaster will Confuse the mess out of them, so use it and watch them Magitek Laser themselves. If you use Magic, Edgar and Locke will have a conversation. DROP: Hi-Potion x2 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, more events will follow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] After the events, ride SE of Figaro to a cave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 4: Journey to the Leader of the Returners--[W4] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Enter the cave from the world map and you will see a Soldier. Talk to him and he will move. Press onward. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: South Figaro Cave TREASURES: Ether x2, Phoenix Down ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NOTE: If you see any item boxes, it will be best to leave them alone for now. They will change later on. This area is pretty straight forward. Go up and you will see a spring with a turtle. The spring fully recovers your HP and MP, so you might want to take some time to build up levels. Go right and then down. In the next room, go right and up the stairs to a room with a chest containing an Ether. Go back and take the right path. Follow it and then go right again at the next fork to a chest containing an Ether. Go past the stairs and take the stairs going up the ledge. Follow the path and you will reach a chest containing a Phoenix Down. Take the stairs that was skipped earlier and it is a straight- forward to the exit. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ [WORLD MAP] Now that you got past the cave, head SE to a town near a forest. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: South Figaro TREASURES: Potion x3, Elixir, Gold Needle, Teleport Stone, Green Cherry, Eye Drops, Antidote, 500 Gil, 1,000 Gil, 1,500 Gil, Phoenix Down -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NOTE: If you want better items, leave the items alone.

You will be in the Pub if the music changes and talk to the ninja. Watch the conversation unfold. After the conversation, time to take a trip around town. First, re-equip everyone with the latest gear from the Armor Shop. Also try to equip some of the Relics, especially the Sprint Shoes. As for items, check the barrel near the entrance to the left of the Chocobo Stable for a Potion. Go down from the Chocobo Stable and turn left to a box containing a Gold Needle. Follow the path and check another box for Eye Drops. Check the barrel above it for an Antidote. Check the box near the Chocobo Stable for a Green Cherry. Go in the house nearby and go upstairs and go in the first door. Go behind the bookcase and follow the path. The first door is empty. The second contains a Save Point. The third has a room with chests containing 500 Gil, 1,000 Gil, 1,500 Gil, and an empty chest. Go back exit out the right door. Check the nearby barrel for a Phoenix Down. Go around the house to enter another room. Check the clock for an Elixir. Go down from the the boiler-thingy and you will end up in another room. Follow the path. To the right, a bucket contains a Potion. Go up the stairs and follow the path past the Item Shop until you reach a set of barrels. Check one of them for a Teleport Stone. Check the barrel between the Weapon and Armor Shop for a Potion. With all the stuff done for now, time to head out. Rent a chocobo (or whatever). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Go N from South Figaro to a house. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Duncan's House TREASURES: Potion -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Go in the house. Edgar will start talking. Head over to the boiler-thingy and examine it. Then check the bucket near it for a Potion. After that, leave the house. Talk to the man outside to learn about some information. After that, head out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Go E and then N to some mountains. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: Mt. Kolts TREASURES: Main Gauche, Tent x2 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When you enter, go into the cave. Follow the path and go into the next cave. In the cave, head right and go down. Go around the wall and exit the cave. You should be near a chest, which contains the Main Gauche. Go back and go up and cross the bridge to go out. When you exit, a dark figure appears. Follow the dark figure. On the next screen, there will be 2 caves. Take the right cave and follow it to a chest containing a Tent. Go out and take the other cave and follow it. Once agian, the dark figure runs. Pursuit it. Go up and cross the bridge and into a cave. On the next screen, there will be a Save Point, so save your game. Go out through the right cave and follow the path, as it is a straight-shot. Then you will see who the dark figure was. Go to him and talk to him. After the conversation...BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Vargas HP: 11,600 Ipoon x2 HP: 360 WEAK vs. Poison (Vargas), Fire (Ipoons) --This boss is accompanied by 2 Ipoons. All they do is attack. You can't target yet until you defeat the 2 Ipoons. After they are dead, keep hitting Vargas. After a couple of rounds, Sabin will come and help. Vargas will blow everyone with Blizzard Fist except Sabin. Then it will be Sabin vs. Vargas, mano-o-mano. --Strategy: Use Auto Crossbow, Terra's Fire, and have Locke attack to get rid of the Ipoons. When fighting Vargas, have Locke steal and you may score the Mythril Claws. Edgar should use Bioblaster. Vargas has a deadly attack called Gale Cut, which deals Wind damage to the party. As for healing, use Potions and Cure. When Sabin comes, Vargas will strike Sabin with Doom Fist. Sabin will have 60 seconds to finish off Vargas. If you continue to pummel Vargas, he won't die...in time that is. Then you will learn how to input a Blitz. To finish off Vargas, input the Blitz command Left, Right, Left and press A. The Blitz command should be Raging Fist. This will finish off Vargas. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, a conversation will take place. After the conversation, go through the cave. Open the chest to get a Tent. The rest of the way is a straight-shot to the exit. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 5: The Leader of the Returners--[W5] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Go N until you reach a mountain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Returner Hideout TREASURES: Phoenix Down x2, White Cape, Antidote, Air Knife, Knight's Code, Ether, Green Cherry, Hi-Potion, Gauntlet or Genji Glove -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you enter, go through the cave. When you enter, talk to the man. Follow him and go through the cave. Talk to the man, Banon. A conversation takes place. Now the scene switches to Terra. Talk to Locke nearby and open the nearby chest to get a Phoenix Down. Go left and then up across a bridge. In the next room, go up and open the chests, which contains a Phoenix Down, an Air Knife, and a Knight's Code. Check the bucket and pot to get an Antidote and an Ether. Go around and go down from the right side to discover a secret passage. This takes you to a chest containing the White Cape. Go out and explore some more. Talk to Sabin to learn some information. Talk to the man behind the counter. He sells goods. Oops...forgot the Item data. +--------------+ | Item Shop | +--------------+------+--------------------------------------------+ | Item | Cost | Effect | +--------------+------+--------------------------------------------+ | Eye Drops | 50 | Cures Blind | | Potion | 50 | Restores 50 HP | | Hi-Potion | 300 | Restores 250 HP | | Ether | 1500 | Restores 50 MP | | Echo Screen | 120 | Cures Silence | | Sleeping Bag | 500 | Restores all HP and MP of one party member | | Tent | 1200 | Restores all HP and MP of party | | Sprint Shoes | 1500 | Doubles walking speed | +--------------+------+--------------------------------------------+ Go around the table and check the pot for a Green Cherry. Go up the stairs and go through the door. Talk to Edgar. After the talking, open the nearby chest to get a Hi-Potion. After that, make your way outside. Talk to the man so he can let you out. Outside, talk to Banon and a conversation will take place. If you select "Yes", then Banon will give you the Gauntlet Relic, which will use both hands to deal more damage, and a meeting will take place. If you select "No" 3 times, this will skip the meeting and you will get the Genji Glove, which enables 2 weapons to be equipped. It is your choice. I personally choose to get the Genji Glove. If you need to rest, do so now. Go back and save your game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 6: The Lethe River Escape--[W6] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go down and you will end up at the Lethe River. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: Lethe River TREASURES: None ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This area is pretty much guided. Make sure Banon does not bite the dust, or it will be a Game Over. At certain junctions, you have to choose a path. Follow these paths to get to the exit: Any path -> Save Point -> Left -> Save Point -> Boss! When you get to the Left/Up path, you can keep going up to get into battles. This is an excellent way to get some levels. Normally I would keep going up until Terra learns Fira, which I think is at about Level 20. Be sure to save your game at every stop. Since I am trying to get the Magicites at a low level, I pretty much take the correct paths. After the 2nd Save Point, there will be no paths to choose. Put everyone in the back rank before going. While you are going down the River, guess what... BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Ultros HP: 3,000 WEAK vs. Fire, Lightning --Ultros can really throwdown if you are not at a high level. Ultros will say all sorts of things, which will tell who his attack, Tentacle, will hit. It hurts. This is why the back rank is neccessary. His Tentacle attack can also target all. Beware of Ink, which causes Blind and do little damage. --Strategy: Have Terra casting Fire, Edgar Auto Crossbow-ing, Sabin using his Blitz Raging Fist or Aura Cannon (or other Blitz like Rising Phoenix. I find Aura Cannon dealing more in my playthrough, since Sabin does not have it), and Banon using Pray. If you use Fire (or Fira, which can dish out about 1,000+ damage), Ultros will take big damage (In my playthrough, 150 damage) and counter with Ink. Revive if neccessary *raises hand*. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, watch the event unfold. *LOL at event* \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Now...there will be a Scenario Selection: Terra, Sabin, and Locke. Order doesn't matter. For my scenario of choice: Terra and crew (need to get that Genji Glove off of Terra...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 7: Terra's Scenario--[W7] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Terra's scenario begins at the Lethe River. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: Lethe River TREASURES: None ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You are almost at the end. Just hold out a little longer on the Lethe River. The Banon condition still applies, so make sure he doesn't bite the dust. There are no junction choosing or anything. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Go W and then NW to reach Narshe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Narshe TREASURES: Nothing in particular -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you reach Narshe, go up and you will get stopped by some guards. After the conversation, go to the hidden cave that Locke found. If you need any healing, go to the Adventuring School and examine the bucket. The cave, if you forgot, is located to the left of the School. Examine it and the passage will open. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: Narshe Mines TREASURES: Rune Blade ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Just go through the mines and follow the path. When you reach an area with a sparkling thing moving, try to remember the path. If you are lazy, wasn't looking, have short-term memory, or what has you, refer to the little diagram at the bottom (I tried my best). || | E|________ _| <-- | ___| |::|^|::::| | | |::|^|::::| | | |:| |::| <--<-- | | |:|-->->v|::::|^| | |:|^|::|v|::::|^| | |:|^|::|v|::::|^| |--->^ ->v ^| |^|:::| |::|v|::|^| |^|:::| |::|v|::|^| |^<--<--|::| --->^| =====|^<-- |==== -- B-- || Screw up once, and you will get into a forced battle. After going through the room, follow the path and take the doorway up ahead. Follow it and you will end up in the Moogle Cave. Go up and then left through a hole. Follow it and open the chest containing a Rune Blade. Follow the path out and you will eventually end up at the man's house (you know, from the beginning). \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ After the conversation, that will be the end of Terra's Scenario. Next up, Locke's Scenario! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 8: Locke's Scenario--[W8] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Locke's Scenario kicks off at South Figaro, which is under the Empire's grasp. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: South Figaro TREASURES: Hyper Wrist, Herme's Sandals, Ribbon, Hi-Ether, Great Sword, Heavy Shield, Iron Armor, X-Potion, Earring, ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This area is crawling with Imperial forces. What is there to do? You could go left and try to get past the Heavy Armor, that is if you are at a high level. You can go into the house at the starting point and go downstairs to a Save Point. Re-equip Locke and go the Item Shop. Talk to the Merchant and engage him. Use Steal to get his clothes from him. Now Locke has a Merchant disguise. Go to the house near the Item Shop. Go downstairs and talk to the kid. After that, go up through the door. Next, go upstairs and go left and talk to the soldier dude with the green hat-helmet thingy. Use Steal on the Cadet to get his uniform from him. Now Locke has a Cadet disguise. Head to the Pub and go downstairs. Go through the door and talk to the Merchant. Now you will engage with another Merchant. Use Steal, once again, to take his outfit. After the fight, Locke will get some Cider. What to do next? Go back to the house where the little kid let Locke through and go upstairs. Go to the left and down and talk to the old man. He will reveal some information. Now go downstairs and talk to the kid. For the password, choose "Courage" and he will show the hidden passage. Take the secret passage and you will end up in the same area with the Elixir. Just follow the path and go upstairs in the house. Go behind the bookcase and go down some stairs. Just follow the path and you will reach a point where you can ditch the disguise or keep. It's your call. Anywho...go all the way down (until you can't go down no more) and turn right. You will be in a secret passage. This room contains chests with a Hyper Wrist and the Herme's Sandals. Follow the path and an event will unfold. Another character introduction will come up. After the event, examine the guard and take the Old Clock Key. Go into the next door and save your game. Go all the way to the door at the end and navigate through the room and check the clock at the end. Wind up the clock and a secret passage will be revealed. Follow the path. At the first junction, go down to a chest containing an Iron Armor. Go back and go left and then up. Follow it to get the 2 chests, which contains a Heavy Shield and a Great Sword. Go back and go down all the way. When you go down, check to the left and you should move to the left. Go down and go downstairs. Check the basement for a Hi-Ether and an X-Potion. Go directly down from the X-Potion chest and press A for a chest containing the almight Ribbon. Now, backtrack and go down all the way. Turn left and open the chest containing an Earring. Now just go all the way to the right and up the stairs. Now you will be on the outside of the town. Just go right and you will be out. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] From South Figaro, go NW to the South Figaro Cave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: South Figaro Cave TREASURES: Thunder Rod, Ether, X-Potion ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NOTE: If you see any item boxes, it will be best to leave them alone for now. The items will change later on. If you want, you can get them if you want. Just go through the cave as normal. As you go through the cave, the cave will start rumbling. You may find the Thunder Rod, an Ether, and an X-Potion here if you left all of the chests unopened. Just continue as normal and you will reach the area with the recovery spring. Heal up at the spring and go down. Put Locke and Celes in the back rank and prepare for the worst. BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Tunnel Armor HP: 1300 WEAK vs. Lightning, Water --This boss uses Thunder, Fire, Magitek Laser, Drill, and Poison. Drill can dish out some good damage. Those magic are killers. --Strategy: Simple. Have Celes use Runic to absorb the magic and have Locke attack. If you use Steal, you may score the Air Knife. Heal up with Potions and this boss will go down. DROP: Elixir <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Go out the cave and that will be the end of Locke's scenario. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Now for the longest one (in my opinion), Sabin's. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 9: Sabin's Scenario--[W9] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] So where in the world are we?

A character will also be introduced. Fight the Captain with Cyan. To defeat him, use Bushido 2: Sky and wait for him to attack. This should kill the Captain in one swoop. Now the scene switches back to Sabin and Shadow. Go to the right and into the tent. Check the right side for a chest containing a Star Pendant. If you choose to kick it, you will fight Dobermans. If you hit it, then you won't get into a battle. Go back and go down past the bridge and a conversation will take place. After the conversation, the party will engage Kefka. Strike him and he will flee. Chase him and engage in another battle. Strike him and chase him. Go up the hill to a tent with 2 chests containing a Mythril Glove and a Monster Chest with a Green Beret. To beat the enemy, use Shurikens and have Sabin Blitz, though it will counter with Mega Berserk, which inflicts Berserk on Sabin. After the fight, talk to Kefka and fight him...again. After that, follow him and you will fight against 2 Imperial Soldiers and 2 Captains. After the fight, an event will unfold and control switches to Cyan. Go up through the door and go downstairs. Go out through the door and a conversation will take place. After the conversation, go down and down the stairs and hang left and through the door. Go right and check the pot near the fallen soldier for a Remedy. Go back upstairs and go up through the door to the right of the Throne Room. After the event, the scene switches to the Imperial Camp. Go help Cyan with the soldiers. After 3 battles, then the gang will pilot Magitek Armors. Go right and follow the path as if you are going back to the entrance. After a series of fights, the party decides to go to the forest to the south. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Go S and then E past a bridge.

When you try, it will be too late. After the talking, head right into the next cart. Talk to the ghost and he will join your party. Go through the door and press the switch in the upper-right corner. After the conversation, keep going left until you reach as far as you can go. Go in the cart and try to go out. A ghost will stop the party. Engage it and defeat it. After that, ghosts will start appearing. Climb the ladder when you gain control and go to the end. After the suggestion, go into the cart nearby and press the switch to detach the rail. After detaching the rail, go back in and press the switch again to open a passage. Go through the passage and save your game. Don't worry about healing. There is a healing point at the next cart. Go there and get healed. After that, go outside and go around the cart. Go back into the cart from the right and open the chest containing an Earring. Go into the next cart and go into the door. Try to open and you will get into a...BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Siegfried HP: 1,900 --This boss attacks 8 times at the beginning of the fight. They are pretty weak attacks. After that, he attacks once. --Strategy: This boss is pretty easy. If a person is equipped with the Black Belt, the boss will die before it finishes his attack. Even Shadow's dog will destroy the boss if the dog intercepts the attack. DROP: Green Cherry <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, the fool makes off with the chest. Oh well. Anywho...go to the left and continue. In the next cart, go into the room at the end and open the chests containing a Phoenix Down, a Sniper Eye, another Phoenix Down and a monster chest containing a Hyper Wrist. Go out and go left. The next cart is a save point, so save your game. Go to the left and you will be in the engineer's compartment. Press the left switch and the right switch. Go out and go to the front of the train and press the switch at the smokestack. BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Phantom Train HP: 1,900 WEAK vs. Holy, Fire, Lightning --The train uses Wheel, which does some small damage. It also uses Acid Rain, which does some big damage to the party and inflicts Sap. Saintly Beam hurts big time. Both of those attacks hurt like a mutha. Watch out for Diabolic Whistle. It inflicts a variety of status effects such as Poison, Confuse, Poison, Slow, and Blind. Think of it as a psuedo-Bad Breath. --Strategy: Have Sabin use Aura Cannon, Cyan use Bushido 1: Fang, and Shadow chuck Shurikens. If you are reeeeeeally lazy, hit the blasted train with a Phoenix Down. (didn't know about this 'til I looked it up in the Nintendo Power March issue...). Oh yeah, and the party starts in the back rank. DROP: Tent <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After defeating the train, watch the event unfold.

El Nino hurts, so watch out. Bite is not too bad. --Strategy: If only I was a higher level, then it will be Bushido 4: Flurry for me. Use Bushido 2: Sky and hope that the "boss" hits Cyan. As for Sabin, do whatever. I used Blitz Aura Cannon. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ After the fighting, Sabin and Cyan will be on an unknown land.

Be sure to examine the clock for an Elixir. After sending off, go to the Inn and rest. Continue doing this will earn you the Tintinnabulum.

I knew I shoulda took the Mythril Spear from Mog when I had the chance... When you take the ferry, that will be the end of Sabin's scenario. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 10: Returners vs. the Empire--[W10] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Narshe -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= After all 3 scenarios are complete, the scene will shift to Narshe where Banon has a conversation. After the events are over, you will be in the snowfield. Prepare and equip everyone. When you are ready, save your game and talk to Banon. You will have to divide into 3 teams. Since I am doing a low-level run up to Zozo, I may have to put my selfishness and put Gau in a party. Normally, I would have him by himself and do not use him. In this case, I will make an exception. Have a hard hitter and a healer in each team. After a long time thinking, here is my set-up: Team 1: Terra, Cyan, Locke Team 2: Sabin, Celes Team 3: Edgar, Gau --Suggestion by T. Oliver: he says to use a team with Terra, Cyan, and Sabin. With this team, you can use Bushido 1: Fang or Bushido 4: Flurry and have Sabin use Rising Phoenix. This part of the game is pretty difficult at where I am. In my set-up, I have Terra act as a healer more often than a Fire user. Sabin is always using Aura Cannon (I know, everywhere in my FAQ, I say Aura Cannon. This is because it deals more damage) and Celes on healing duty. Edgar with Noiseblaster can Confuse enemies and Gau using Oversoul Rage or Bomb Rage. After disposing the advancing soldiers, move out the team toward Kefka. The soldier that is running left and right is the Hell's Rider. It is pretty darn powerful, especially Silver Lance. Watch out for Reverse Polarity. It switches front rank with back and vice-versa. If you have Locke fight it, steal and you may score the Mythril Vest. I used my first team to defeat it. I had Locke Steal and Cyan use Bushido 2: Sky to finish it. Now, for Kefka! BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Kefka HP: 3,000 --This guy can really throwdown, though he looks goofy. I mean, he can use Poison, Confuse, Drain, Thunder, Blizzard, and Blizzara. Blizzara, I say! That Blizzara, at my level, is a OHK. --Strategy: After careful experimenting, I used Team 2. The reason is Celes. Use Runic so that she can absorb Kefka's magic. I had to make sure that Celes's HP is high. After defeating him, he will flee. DROP: Peace Ring <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, watch the event unfold. After the event and the conversation that follows later, you will have to go to Zozo with a party of 3 (if you want Shadow) or 4 of your choice. My team: Celes, Cyan, Edgar, Sabin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 11: Chase Terra!--[W11] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Narshe TREASURES: Elixir, 5,000 Gil, Earring, Thief's Knife, Thief's Bracer, Hyper Wrist -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= While in Narshe, take some time to explore and do some shopping.

Follow the path and go to the right after climbing the stairs. Go through the right door and open the chest for an Ether. Don't worry about the left door. Go back down and go left and up and follow the path until you reach a building with what looks like an Inn sign. Go in and examine the clock. It will ask to set the time. Normally, it would take a long time to figure out the time, so let me tell you what it is: 6:10:50. Follow the opened path and open the chest for the Chainsaw Tool. Go out and go left. Follow the path and you will reach another building with an Armor Shop sign. Go in and open the chest for a Potion. Go out and go back and then go down and go into the building with what looks like a Relic Shop sign. Climb the stair and follow the path. When you reach outside, climb the stairs to the top and go through a door to a chest containing a Brigand's Glove. Go back down and go through the opened door and jump from building to building. From here, it is a straight shot. Be sure to check the pot and bucket for a Hi-Potion and an Ether. Also be sure to go into a door to get the Burning Fist. When you reach the end, you will see a man. Put people in the back rank (if you are low leveled). Talk to him and guess what...BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Dadaluma HP: 3,270 WEAK vs. Poison --This boss uses Sweepkick, which does some damage and inflicts Sap. Later in the fight, he will call out 2 Iron Fists. When he starts taking more damage, he will use 3 Hi-Potions, restoring a grand total of 750 damage and then uses Protect. He can also Jump, but it is not that bad. Watch out for the Mythril Knife! It really, really hurts...on my file that is. (500+ damage = OHK) --Strategy: Like I always say on my earlier strategies: Blitz Aura Cannon, Blizzard, Drill Tool and Flash Tool, and Bushido 2: Sky. For some reason, he won't hit Cyan. If I was only high enough...that Bushido 4: Flurry would be mighty nice right now. As for healing, Cure or Hi-Potions. DROP: Thief's Knife, Twist Headband <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, climb the stairs and go through the door. Go up and talk to Terra. Watch the event and the conversation unfold. Now you will have 4 Esper magicites. Go down and talk to your companion that was left in Narshe. After that, more conversation will take place. Now you have a new destination: the Magitek Factory. You will be forced to take Celes and Locke. Bring two more people that you are comfortable with. My choice: Sabin and Edgar. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ You can take some time and start learning magic. If you want to learn magic with little leveling up, try killing nothing but the Harvester as a single enemy. It will give 3 Magic AP. I pretty much farmed on them until everyone learned all of the magic that is currently available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Go back to Jidoor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 12: Maria and the Wandering Gambler--[W12] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Jidoor -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Go up to the northern part of Jidoor and go inside Owzer's house, which is the huge house. Inside, talk to the man pacing left and right. Talk to him and a conversation will unfold. After the conversation, go down and examine the letter. After the character introduction, time to go to the Opera house. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] From Jidoor, head S and SE until you reach it. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: Opera House TREASURES: None ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When you enter, talk to the man. Watch the conversation unfold. After the event, you have control of Locke. Go to the room where Celes ran. After the conversation, have Celes read the score (like you really need it. Besides, this IS a walkthrough, right?). After reading the score (or whatever), go through the door and outside. If you fail three times, it will serve as some sort of Game Over. If you didn't memorize the score, have short-term memory, or what has you, here are the correct choices to the score. You have a limited amount of time to select the appropriate line. If you do not select the line, the line the cursor is on will be selected. Select the right lines and enjoy one of most memorable events in FFVI: 1) "O my hero..." 2) "I'm the darkness..." 3) "Must my..." After selecting the lines and Draco turns into some flowers, go up and go to the end and watch the rest of the scene. After the scenes, you will have control of Locke. Read the letter and go outside and save. Talk to the Impresario. After the conversation and the event, you will have 5 minutes to reach Ultros. Go right and go up to the Stagehand. Press the switch to the far right and go out and go to the left side. Go through the door. Navigate the balcony. When you are fighting, try not to use Blitz all the time. It wastes time. When you reach Ultros, talk to him. After the somewhat funny conversation, you can already guess what's coming... BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Ultros HP: 2,550 WEAK vs. Fire, Lightning --The octopus is back and sporting new attacks this time. He also moves to different parts of the stage. His attacks depends on where he is. Center- He can use Acid Rain, which damage inflicts damage on one side and inflicts Sap. He also has the standard Tentacle attack and Ink. He has Imp Song, which inflicts Imp. Lower-left- He can use L.3 Confuse, which inflicts Confuse on those whose level is divisible by 3. He can also use Imp Song, which will inflict Imp. Upper-center- He can use Fire and Imp Song Lower-right- He can use Megavolt, Drain, and Imp Song. --Strategy: This boss is really easy. Make sure to put the party member that is alone in the back rank so Tentacle won't kill in one hit. All you have to do is pelt the silly octopus with Thundara, if you have it, or Thunder. If you do not have anyone with Thunder or Thundara, just use your best attacks: Edgar on Chainsaw or Drill and Sabin on Blitz Rising Phoenix or Aura Cannon. If Cyan, Bushido 4: Flurry. If Gau, Bomb Rage or some other Rage that can use thunder-elemental attacks or fire-elemental attacks. It took me three rounds of Thundara to finish the silly octopus. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, watch the event. AFter the event, you will be on the airship Blackjack. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Blackjack -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= You can un-equip everyone who is not in your party while on the ship.

It may be free, but 1000 Gil will be taken from the party. You can go into the house near the Weapon Shop and talk to the man. Say "No" and you will get into a fight with 2 Guards. After defeating them, the man will provide free healing when needed. If you go up, if the guard is near you, then you will get into a fight. When you go to the Imperial Palace and go farther, you will get into a fight with the unstoppable Guardian. So what to do? Go to the east end of Vector and you will see a man near some boxes. Talk to him and watch the event unfold. Now go up and you will be in the Magitek Factory. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ AREA: Magitek Factory TREASURES: Flametongue, Ether, X-Potion, Thunder Blade, Remedy, Dragoon Boots, Golden Shield, Golden Helm, Zephyr Cloak, Icebrand, Tent, Stone Blade MAGICITES: Unicorn, Carbuncle, Maduin, Shiva, Ifrit, Phantom, Bismarck, Catoblepas ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When you enter, go down the stairs and head left all the way. You will get on the conveyor belt-thingy and go down to a chest containing the Flametongue. See that hook cable going left and right? Press A when the hook reaches you to go the other side. go right and you will see 2 holes. Take the right one and open the chest for an Ether. Go back and take the left one to go farther. Open the nearby chest for an X-Potion. Go right and open the chest, netting you the Thunder Blade. Go down and open another chest with a Remedy. In the next section, go down and hang left. Go all the way left and you will see a chest. Inside it is the Dragoon Boots. Go up the stairs and follow the path and you will reach a chest with the Golden Shield in it. Now go back and go down the right walkway and through a door. Go all the way down and you will go through a door. To the left, a chest with the Golden Helm. Follow the path and you will come across a chest with a Tent. Now go back to where you entered the area (near the conveyor belt-thingy with the Magitek Armor-looking thing). Go up the stairs and try going in between the boxes to get into the pipes. Follow the path and take the right as soon as you come across it. There will be 2 chests with the Icebrand and the Zephyr Cloak. Go back and get on the conveyor belt-thingy. When you go down, a conversation will take place. Go down and get on the conveyor belt-thingy. You will now be in an area with 2 statue-looking thingies. Go through the door that is not blocked and rest up and save. "Talk" to the red "statue" and guess what... BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Ifrit HP: 3,300 Shiva HP: 3,000 WEAK vs. Ice (Ifrit), Fire (Shiva) --Yep! It's Ifrit! I already knew this. Remember: I am trying to be as spoiler-free as possible. Anywho...Ifrit uses Fire, Fira, and physical attacks. Every now and then, Ifrit will leave and Shiva will come in. I don't recall fighting Shiva on the SNES version. Anywho...she uses Blizzard, Blizzara, and Snowstorm. Blizzara hurts. When Ifrit gets low on HP, he will go to the center of the screen and use Firaga. After that, he will start using Blaze. As for Shiva, she will cast Reflect. --Strategy: Pelt Ifrit with Cele's Blizzard (or Blizzara if you manage to get her to about level 22) or Sabin's Blitz Raging Fist. As for Shiva, hit her with Fire (Rising Phoenix if you have Sabin with you.) Theres's no real way to inflict any damage. If you need Celes to hit Ifrit with Blizzard, press Select until her turn comes up. If you manage to take down either one, you will win the battle. As for healing, use Cure (or Cura if you manage to learn it). <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, talk to Ifrit and then Shiva. Then they will turn into magicites. Go back to the save point and save. Go through the door Shiva was blocking and go up the stairs. Just keep going up the stairs and you will be in the Research Facility. There is a Stone Blade in this area. To find it, go on the walkway and go down all the way. Go left until you stop. Press A and you should have the Stone Blade (correct me if I am wrong). Keep going and you will see a "man" in front of a door. "Talk" to him and you will get into yet another battle. BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Number 024 HP: 4,777 WEAK vs. Varies --This boss has an attack called Overflow, which inflicts Confuse. This boss can also use Barrier Change, which will changes its elemental weakness. This boss also has other attacks that reflects its element like Magnitude 8(Earth), which inflicts damage on the party if they are not floating, Acid Rain (Water), which inflicts damage on party and inflicts Sap, Aqua Breath (Water), Cure and Cura (Holy), Blizzara (Ice), Fire and Fira (Fire), and some others that I may not know of. When there is a "System Error", it will use Sunbath or Arctic Hare, which restores HP. This thing can be an idiot by using Libra on itself. --Strategy: Not a particularly difficult boss. At the beginning, hit it with Thundara and Chainsaw (Edgar), and Raging Fist (Sabin). When it Barrier Change, you can use Libra to find its weakness. DROP: Icebrand <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Go through the door and you will see some creatures inside of tanks. Go up and press the switch and watch the events unfold. After the event, go to the right and go down the elevator. When the elevator stops, go to the save point and save. Then talk to Cid. Then you will take a cart ride to the exit. But don't expect a joyful ride. You will get attacked. 1st wave: Magna Roader 2nd wave: Magna Roader x2 3rd wave: Magna Roader 4th wave: Magna Roader x2 5th wave: Magna Roader x2 6th wave: BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Number 128 (body) HP: 3,276 Left Blade (right) HP: 700 Right Blade (left) HP: 400 --This boss and its parts have different attacks. The boss (Number 128) uses Blood Feast, which absorbs HP, and Blizzard. The Right Blade (left on screen) uses Rapier, and Left Blade (right on screen) use Shamshir. When the boss losses its blades, it will cast Haste on itself. Then it will start using more attacks like Atomic Ray. --Strategy: Not a hard boss. Just hit it with Rising Phoenix or other multi- targeting magic. Use Chainsaw (Edgar) to deal damage quickly. As for healing, please tell me you learned Cure (or Cura at least)? <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Vector -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= After defeating the boss, just make your way out of Vector.

It can also use Magnitude 8. Wrecking Ball is not all that damaging. When the Left Crane is isolated, it will use Magitek Barrier, which puts up Reflect. --Strategy: No real strategy here. Blast the Right Crane with Thundara and the left with Fire magic. Have fun with Setzer and his Slot command. When it comes down to it, just use Chainsaw, Blitz Raging Fist, and any other stuff that you find useful. Take some time to try to steal the Debilitator Tool from the Right Crane. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, a conversation will take place.

Then go up and go into the cave. Talk to Madeline and watch the event unfold. After the event, go talk to the Elder. Then go out and go left and then up to the cave. After the event, the scene switches back to Zozo. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Zozo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= After the conversation, the next destination is Narshe.

You know, the one with the locked chest. Go there and you will see Lone Wolf. After he leaves, open the chest. EMPTY! Time to take chase. Follow the path as if you are going to the frozen esper Valigarmanda. If you don't know how, go up to the Narshe Mines (as if you are going to Ymir) and go right through a cave inside the mines. Just follow the path and you will see Lone Wolf with a moogle. Approach him and he will threaten the moogle's life. Just wait there and the moogle will come to its senses. After the moogle comes to its senses, you will have 2 choices: get the Gold Hairpin, which halves MP usage, or save the moogle. If you choose to get the Gold Hairpin, you won't be able to get Mog (that is why I put "you heartless little..."). If you choose to save the moogle, you won't get the Gold Hairpin, but you will have another party member. Besides, the Gold Hairpin comes obsolete later in the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ With Mog in your party, take some time to learn some Dances. Go around to different terrains to learn some Dances. Here are some locations to learn some Dances: Plains - Wind Rhapsody Caves - Twilight Requiem Forest - Forest Nocturne Mountains - Earth Blues Desert - Desert Lullaby River/Underwater - Water Harmony City - Love Serenade Snowfield - Snowman Rondo So...you are confused with Town, Snowfield, and River/Underwater, yes? Well, for Town, go to Zozo; River/Underwater, go to through the Lethe River or Serpent Trench (expect a long travel). As for Snowfield, you will have to wait later in the game to learn this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Go to Jidoor.

Land near it and go through the Imperial Observation Post. My party: Terra, Locke, Mog, Sabin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Imperial Observation Post TREASURES: Nothing...for now -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If you visited this area before Vector (pre-Magitek Factory), this area would be crawling with Imperial forces. Now, the area is empty. Don't bother going into the house. The door in there is locked. For now, just go up and climb the stairs and go right. Just follow the path and you will be on the World Map. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Just go right and you will be in the Cave to the Sealed Gate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ TOWN: Cave to the Sealed Gate TREASURES: Assassin's Dagger, Kazegiri, X-Potion, Heiji's Jitte, Hi-Ether x3, Genji Glove, Tent, Elixir, Magicite Shard x3, Ultima Weapon, ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Just a note: All enemies in this area are undead, so you can use Raise, Cura, Phoenix Downs, or whatever floats your boat. Also if you have Mog, his Water Harmony is extremely useful, especially El Nino. This area is a pretty good area to level up. When you enter, open the chest containing the Assassin's Dagger. Continue onward. In the next room, go down and be sure to grab the Kazekiri from the chest. In the next room, there will be bridges that will change. Go right and hold Right and you will get to a chest containing an X-Potion. Take two steps on the bridge and should be able to get on the pillar. To get the next chest, go down and go left on the bridge that has a space between it and the portion with the chest. Wait and go to the end of it. Quickly open the chest for the Heiji's Jitte and go back. Go all the way to the end of the bridge to get to the spot near the chest with the Heiji's Jitte. Hold Right and you should shift and be able to go farther. In the next room, go right and follow the path to a chest containing a Hi-Ether. Go back and go down the stairs and follow the path. Press the switch while on the bridge. You will drop down and a message will say that there is a distant sound. Go left and up to a chest containing the Genji Glove. Go back and then up and you will see 2 switches. Press the left switch to uncover a hidden door. Inside, there is a save point and a chest with a Tent. If you press the right switch, you will get into a fight with a Ninja. When you defeat the Ninja, he will reveal a secret. I don't find it really important. Anywho...go on the bridge to the right and press switch to reveal a set of stairs. Follow the stairs and be sure to open the chest with a Hi-Ether. Go through the cave and follow it up and then right. Open the nearby chest for an Elixir. Go right and you go around the right switch and open the chest and flip the switch. If you pressed the switch by mistake, then read on. Go down the stairs and hang left. Press the switch to reveal a doorway. Inside, there are chests containing and another switch a 2 Magicite Shards, Hi-Ether, and the powerful Ultima Weapon. It may not be powerful right now, but after getting a LOT of HP it will be one of the most powerful weapons on the game. (How could I miss this on the SNES version...) Go right and go up the bridge and press the switch. Okay...if you didn't open the chest I mentioned earlier, there should not be a bridge to crossover when you go right. If there is no bridge, then press the switch and go up the stairs and go left and open the chest to flick the switch. If you already flipped it, then go on and cross the bridge. Go up and open the chest for a Magicite Shard. From here, the rest of the way is a straight shot. Watch the events unfold. After the event, Teleport out and go to the airship. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Travel to the Imperial Observation Post ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Imperial Observation Post TREASURES: Well....nothing. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Just proceed as normal and watch the conversation as well as another event unfold. After the event, go outside. You will be near Maranda. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Go NE from Maranda to reach Vector ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 15: Vector: The Meeting--[W15] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Vector TREASURES: Alarm Earring, X-Potion, Ether, Gale Hairpin, Holy Water, Tintinnabulum and Ward Bangle (depending on progress) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you reach Vector, just proceed up to the Imperial Palace. When you reach the Imperial Palace, go left and follow the path. After you go up the stairs, a soldier dude will guide you to the Emperor. Go up and talk to Emperor Gestahl. After the conversation, you will have 4 minutes to talk to as many soldiers as possible. When doing this, make sure you try not to open chests. They consume some time. Make sure your message speed is at fast and you have the Sprint Shoes on. I sorta compiled a list of soldiers you can talk to as well as some you can pound some sense into: +++++Go out --Soldier 1, 2, 3, & 4: the first ones you see when you come out. There are also two in in the Magitek Armors +++++Head outside --Soldier 5, 6, & 7: these are outside. The one on the left in the Magitek Armor you have to scrap with. There is one near the stairs you came from. +++++Head inside and hang left through a door. Ignore the first door and go up stairs through a door. --Soldier 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, & 13: they all are in one room. One of them you have to snuff. +++++Go through the door in the upper-left corner --Soldier 14: deal with this one +++++Go up the stairs --Soldier 15: this one is walking around +++++Head outside. --Soldier 16, 17, 18, 19, & 20: there are 4 in Magitek Armors and one in the upper-left corner walking around. +++++Go up the stairs and through the door --Soldier 21: this one needs a spanking. +++++Go out and go through a door to the right. Go down the stairs and go through the first door. --Soldier 22 & 23: just talk to them +++++Go through the door on the left side --Soldier 24: this one is by himself. Just talk to him +++++After talking to the soldiers, just wait out the rest of the time. There is a room with Kefka. You can go there watch him talk. After the time is up, the dinner will take place. Gestahl will ask a series of questions or say something. : 1) Q: "At last, we can all be together, sharing a meal at the same table! Let us make a toast! To what shall we raise our glasses?" A: To our homelands. 2) Q: "As you may know, I've imprisoned Kefka for his crimes of using poison against Doma. What do you think should be done with him?" A: Leave him in jail. 3) S: "I am truly sorry about what occured in Doma. Mo ever dreamed Kefka would use poison." A: That was inexcusable. 4) S: "By the way...With regard to General Celes..." A: Celes is one of us! -----After this statement, Gestahl will ask if you want to ask something. Be sure to ask all 3 questions don't repeat the same question. When he ask to move to the question about Espers, choose "I still have a few things to ask." and ask him the other remaining questions. After asking the two remaining questions, move on the question about the Espers. 5) Q: "The Empire has been decimated by the espers that emerged from the Sealed Gate. They're just too powerful...If we don't do something, they'll tear the entire world apart!" A: They have gone a bit too far... 6) Q: "By the way...what was that first question you asked me a minute ago?" A: Whatever your first question was. -----After this point, Cid will suggest a short break. You can choose to have a short break and talk to the soldiers and fight them. When you are ready, go back into the center chair. 7) Q: "Is there anything you wish to hear me say?" A: That your war is truly over. 8) S: "And now, I have a favor to ask...--some talking--...Would you please go on board?" A: Yes After the meeting, when you go out, a soldier will come to you and give you a message. -----All Imperial troops will be withdrawn from South Figaro. -----All Imperial troops will be withdrawn from Doma -----The armory at the Imperial Observation Post will be unlocked You will also gain the Tintinnabulum and the Ward Bangle. Take some time to get the chests from the palace if you didn't get them. You should find an Alarm Earring, X-Potion, Ether, Gale Hairpin, Holy Water. Now leave Vector. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] Go E of Albrook to the Imperial Observation Post ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Imperial Observation Post TREASURES: X-Potion, Angel Wings, 8,000 Gil, Hi-Ether, Angel Ring, Alarm Earring, Elixir x2, Hermes Sandals, 20,000 Gil, Reflect Ring, 13,000 Gil, Flametongue -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Go to the armory and open the chests, which contain an X-Potion, Angel Wings, 8,000 Gil, Hi-Ether, Angel Ring, Alarm Earring, Elixir, Hermes Sandals, 20,000 Gil, Reflect Ring, and 13,000 Gil. Be sure to check the boiler-thingy for a Flametongue. Check the bottom right corner and for a hidden chest with an Elixir. After getting the goodies, head to Albrook. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] GO SW of the Imperial Observation Post to Albrook ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Albrook TREASURES: Teleport Stone -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In Albrook, head to the dock. At the dock, check the box behind the soldier for a Teleport Stone. Go to the boat and talk to Leo. After the event, go to the Inn and rest. After resting, a scene will take place. After the scene, go to the boat to set sail for Crescent Island. When the scene switches to Terra, go talk to Leo. Watch the conversation and the event takes place. *LOL at Locke, poor Locke* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 16: Thamasa: The Village of Mages--[W16] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the ship reaches land, talk to Leo and then Locke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] world map, go N and NE until you reach a town. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Thamasa TREASURES: Gold Needle, Green Cherry, Eye Drops, Echo Screen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Okay...time for some shop data: +----------------+ | Armor Shop | +----------------+-------+--------------------------------+ | Items | Cost | Effect | +----------------+-------+--------------------------------+ | Golden Shield | 2500 | Nothing | | TigerMask | 2500 | Nothing | | Tiara | 3000 | Nothing | | Golden Helm | 4000 | Nothing | | Mystery Veil | 5500 | Nothing | | Power Sash | 5000 | Nothing | | Gaia Gear | 6000 | Absorb earth-elemental attacks | | Golden Armor | 10000 | Nothing | +----------------+-------+--------------------------------+ +--------------+ | Weapon Shop | +--------------+-------+---------------------------------------------------+ | Items | Cost | Effect | +--------------+-------+---------------------------------------------------+ | Mythril Rod | 500 | Nothing | | Flame Rod | 3000 | Deals fire-elemental damage; may cast Fira | | Ice Rod | 3000 | Deals ice-elemental damage; may cast Blizzara | | Thunder Rod | 3000 | Deals thunder-elemental damage; may cast Thundara | | Morning Star | 5000 | Same power from back row | | Hawkeye | 6000 | May inflict same damage from back row | | Heavy Lance | 10000 | Nothing | | Darts | 10000 | Nothing | +--------------+-------+---------------------------------------------------+ +-----------------+ | Relic Shop | +-----------------+------+----------------------------------------+ | Items | Cost | Effect | +-----------------+------+----------------------------------------+ | Earring | 5000 | Increases magic power; increase with 2 | | Sniper Eye | 3000 | Physical attacks always hit | | Herme's Sandals | 7000 | Bestows Haste automatically | | Reflect Ring | 6000 | Bestows Reflect automatically | | Black Belt | 5000 | May counter physical attacks | | Dragoon Boots | 9000 | Changes "Attack" to "Jump" | | Sprint Shoes | 1500 | Doubles walking speed | +-----------------+------+----------------------------------------+ +----------------+ | Item Shop | +----------------+------+-----------------------------------------------+ | Item | Cost | Effect | +----------------+------+-----------------------------------------------+ | Potion | 50 | Restores 50 HP | | Hi-Potion | 300 | Restores 250 HP | | Ether | 1500 | Restores 50 MP | | Remedy | 1000 | Cures all status effects except Zombie and KO | | Teleport Stone | 700 | Same as Teleport; exit dungeons and battles | | Holy Water | 300 | Cures Zombie | | Phoenix Down | 500 | Revives a party member | | Tent | 1200 | Restores all HP and MP of party | +----------------+------+-----------------------------------------------+ In Thamasa, check the barrel for a Gold Needle. Check the one of the barrels on the side of the Item Shop for Eye Drops. Check the barrel behind the large house for a Green Cherry. Check the barrel near a planting field in the upper-left corner of the town for an Echo Screen. When you are done upgrading equipment or what-has-you, go to the house sorta next to the giant house. Inside the house, there is an old man. Talk to him and watch the conversation and the character introduction unfold. After the event, go to the Inn and rest. Go to the giant house, which is on fire. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Burning Home TREASURES: Flame Rod, Ice Rod -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This area is pretty straight forward. If you have any Icebrands, equip them. If you have any Ice Rods, equip one on Strago. Strago also has a Lore, an equivalent to Blue Magic, called Aqua Breath. It deals water damage. As you go through the area, you will see moving fire. If you touch one or whatever, you will engage in an easy fight. When you reach parts where there are two doors, if you choose the wrong one, you will engage in a fight. 1st section - right door 2nd section - right door takes you to a chest containing a Flame Rod left door goes farther 3rd section - right door takes you to a chest containing an Ice Rod left door takes you farther After going through the door and going farther, you will see a fire and a conversation will take place. Guess what...BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Flame Eater HP: 8,400 WEAK vs. Ice --The boss starts the fight off with Bomblet, which summon Balloons. The Flame Eater can use Fire and Fira. When it gets weak, it will use Reflect and Protect. It will start throwing Firaga. Bomblet can also summon a Grenade. Its Fireball attack is not that powerful. --Strategy: Not a really difficult boss, except that a single-targetting Fira can hurt and that Firaga is no laughing matter. If the Grenade is summoned by Bomblet, it will Self-Destruct when it dies and take one of your party member out. Just do this: Trance Terra and strike it with the Icebrand or Blizzara. This may take it out in one blow (with 2 Earrings on and use Blizzara, 8,000+ for me). Get Strago to use Aqua Breath and Locke come in with Blizzara. As for healing, use Cura. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, watch the event unfold. Then the scene switches back to Relm's room. After the conversation and the event is over, time to go to the next destination: the Esper Mountain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 17: To the Esper Mountain!--[W17] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WORLD MAP] From Thamasa, go SW and then N through a forest until you reach a "cave". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Esper Mountain TREASURES: Healing Rod, Chocobo Suit, X-Potion, Tabby Suit -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you enter, you will be in a cave. Nearby, there is a chest containing a Healing Rod. Go up and then turn right to go to another area. Just follow the path and you will see Relm. Follow her and you will be in an area with 3 gold objects. Go up to it to learn some history. After the history lesson, go down and guess who? After the conversation, you will know what's next... BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Ultros HP: 22000 WEAK vs. Fire, Lightning --Ultros will start inching towards the party after every 2 attacks. When he reaches the party, he will use Magnitude 8 or Aqua Breath and start over. While he is inching, he will use attacks like Tentacle, Stone, which will cause Confuse, Hailstone, which reduces HP by 3/4, and Ink, which inflicts Blind. When Ultros get weak, he will cast Haste and Protect. After dishing out enough damage Relm will show up. --Strategy: Nothing special. Trance Terra and cast Thundara. It dealt 7000+ damage for me. Do 2 rounds with that and have Locke try to steal a White Cape from him. When Relm comes in, have her Sketch to finish the battle. You can finish him if you wish, but Sketch will save the hassle. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, Relm will join the party. Go farther and you will reach a room with a save point. Rest up and save. You will see 3 "squares" at the top, left, and right side of the room. Take the left one and follow it to get to the end of the Esper Cave. Take the top one and go up to go outside to a chest with a Chocobo Suit. Go out and then follow to another exit to a chest with the Tabby Suit. Take the one at the right to a chest containing an X-Potion. When you are ready, go to the left "square" and follow the path. Watch the event unfold. Then the scene switches to Thamasa. Watch the event unfold. When you have control of Leo, talk to Kefka and you will enter a battle with him. Just use Shock or Attack a couple of times. After the event, go to the airship and board it. After that event, you can go to the Floating Continent. I would advise you to learn some magic with any other party members while you can. Whenever you are ready, select the option of going to the Floating Continent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 18: Attack of the Empire!--[W18] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you select the option to go to the Floating Continent, you will have to make a party with 3 people. Form one you are comfortable with and get ready for a series of fights. (My party: Relm, Locke, Terra (can't help that I find Terra hot.) 1st wave - Sky Armor x2, Spitfire 2nd wave - Sky Armor x2, Spitfire 3rd wave - Sky Armor x2, Spitfire 4th wave - Sky Armor x2. Spitfire 5th wave - Sky Armor x2, Spitfire --After the 5th wave, go to the right side of the Airship and you will see Ultros. It's not rocket science what's about to come up next from the menacing octopus. 6th wave - BOSS ENCOUTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Ultros HP: 17,000 Typhon HP: 10,000 WEAK vs. Ice, Water (Typhon), Fire, Poison (Ultros) --Ultros come standard with the usual attacks. He has Octopus Ink, which is not that devastating unless you despise Blind, and Tentacle. When you dish out enough damage, Typhon will join the fray. Typhon can use Fireball, but it is not that dangerous. When you dish out enough damage on Typhon, he will use Snort, which will eject everyone from the battle. --Strategy: Nothing much here. With 2 Earrings equipped, you can take out Ultros by throwing Thundara and Fira. When Typhon makes its appearance, pelt it with Blizzara. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --After the Snort attack, there will be one more wave 7th wave - BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Air Force HP: 8,000 Laser Gun HP: 3,200 Missile Bay HP: 3,000 Bit HP: 420 WEAK vs. Lightning, Water --The Air Force uses Magitek Laser. The Laser Gun uses Atomic Ray. When it is destroyed, the Air Force will release a Bit. If you try to ca
