= 1: Characters =
= ------------- =
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
The characters will be listed in order of appearance.
-------
-Cecil-
-------
Cecil is the main character. He lives in Baron and is commander of the
Red Wings until the "fake" King Baron fires him for suspicion of Baron
doing evil things. Kain believes him and the king gives them a package
to deliver to Mist Village. When they do it opens and Bombs come out to
destroy any type of Summon. However, Cecil saves a girl who is summoner
before the bombs take her.
1st Class: Dark Knight - This class you start out with in the
beginning. It's very good and you'll have good attacks such as Dragon
Wave (J
only).
2nd Class: Paladin - This is the second class you get and you get it in
Mt. Ordeals. It's a well-earned class but starts out extremely,
EXTREMELY weak. Once you gain a couple of levels and get a new sword
you'll be kicking ass with this class. You also have stuff like White
and Cover.
------
-Kain-
------
Another Baron knight who goes with Cecil to deliver the mysterious
package to Mist Village. However, he shows his true colors after that
and allies with the evil Golbez. He'll be chasing you around until you
get to the Tower of Zot, where he is no longer possessed by Golbez
after Tellah uses Meteor on him.
Class: Dragoon Knight - Well, his weapons are really good. Spears are
powerful and two-handed. He also has the Jump Command, which is only
useful for bosses since he goes off the screen for a while. His HP is
also high. Overall, he's really good.
-------
-Rydia-
-------
Rydia is a girl that lives in Mist Village that has the power to summon
monsters. In the Mist Pass Cecil and Kain kill the Mist Dragon which is
Rydia's mother. Rydia gets mad after the package is opened in Mist and
very afraid. She attacks Cecil and Kain and summons Titan to get rid of
them. But after Kain disappears Cecil takes her to Kaipo and she wakes
up and finds out that Cecil is not a bad guy and is helping her.
Class: Caller - She has Summon magic that lets you call powerful
summons. She also has white magic, but once you enter the Underworld
and she rejoins during the fight with Golbez and that magic disappears
and she gets Black Magic instead. She is not too good, but not that bad
either, as her HP is very low and she'll die quickly.
--------
-Tellah-
--------
Tellah is a mage who wants to learn the powerful spell Meteo. Cecil and
Rydia meet him in the Watery Pass when they need to find the antidote
for Rosa in Damcyan. He lost his memory so he forgot all his spells. He
learns Meteo and his spells back on top of Mt. Ordeals. He sacrifices
himself in the Tower of Zot to save Cecil and Rosa.
Class: Wizard - Tellah is a kick-ass party member. He knows a lot of
spells and he even has middle-level White Magic! His HP is pretty
balanced, too (has about the same amount as Cecil when he joins).
However, his attack power and defense power is low, so count on using
healing spells. He will gain lots of new spells on Mt. Ordeals.
--------
-Edward-
--------
Edward is a bard that went with Anna to Damcyan to marry. Tellah,
Anna's father, however, is not happy with this and wants to chase them
down. Once Damcyan gets bombed by the Red Wings, Anna dies and Edward
joins your party to avenge Anna. He leaves your party after the ship is
sunk by Leviathan and never comes back.
Class: Bard - He has the sing command, which just plain sucks if you
don't know how to us it. He is basically useless and dies quickly, with
very low HP, attack, defense, and no magic whatsoever. His hide command
lets him hide from the battle, which is good when all other party
members are dead. Overall, not the greatest character you can pick in
your party.
------
-Rosa-
------
After Cecil and Kain go to Mist, she gets scared and follows them, gets
attacked, and is treated in Kaipo. You need to find a Sand Ruby to
healher. After you do, she joins your party. In Fabul, Golbez kidnaps
Rosa and takes her to his place. Cecil once again saves her in the
Tower of Zot. Afterwards she is a permanent party member.
Class: White Mage - She has good healing magic and is the best healer
in the game. She has low HP but good MP and magic statuses. Her HP is
higher than Tellah's, although you never use Tellah when she is around.
She is a good character to have as she can also equip Bows and use them
well. Her Aim Command lets you do critical damage with only Bows, so
she is best with them. In fact Rosa is the most useful character in the
game as she has lots of healing spells and stays in your party for a
long time. FuSoYa may have the same thing but his MP isn't as high and
he's only with your party for a very short time.
------
-Yang-
------
Yang is the best fighter in Fabul. He takes a couple of others to train
in Mt. Hobs but monsters attack and distract them. Golbez sends the
monsters so he can try to snatch the crystal in Fabul while Yang is
distracted in Mt. Hobbs. The party meets up with Yang after destroying
the Mombomb and he joins. Later, he is mind controlled by Golbez and
sent to Baron. The party defeats him there and he goes back to normal.
In the Tower of Babel, he sacrifices himself for the party to be able
to escape.
Class: Fighter - Yang is pretty decent. His attack does NOT increase by
equipping new weapons, however you can put on new claws for other
things. He also has the Kick Command, which is most likely useless
because it only does very few damage to ALL enemies. Overall, he's
pretty much an average character.
-----------------
-Palom and Porom-
-----------------
Palom and Porom are the Magic Twins of Mysidia who join you in the
quest to Mt. Ordeals to become a Paladin. They'll stay with you until
after you destroy Kainazzo, who starts closing in walls on you but
Palom and Porom turn to stone to stop the wall. Later, they return
unharmed because the elder purifies them.
Class: Palom - Black Mage. Porom - White Mage. They have VERY VERY VERY
low HP and die quickly. However they have decent magic, and their Twin
attack kicks ass. Twin takes a long time to charge, and if one of the
twins dies it fails, but once it does charge it does a high level spell
on all of the enemies. They're useful against bosses.
-----
-Cid-
-----
Cid is a master engineer and an expert at building airships in the town
of Baron. Cecil meets him early in the game. Later when Cecil is a
Paladin and comes back to Baron to defeat Cagnazzo, Cid joins up with
the party. He brings along his secret airship, the Enterprise. You can
fly the Enterprise around the world from now on. Once you get to the
underworld Cid leaves your party to repair the airship. Then he comes
back with it repaired just as Golbez ambushes you in the Tower of
Babil. He sacrifices himself to get you out of the underworld. Later,
in the Dwarf Castle, he's alive and he upgrades the Falcon so that it
can fly over magma, then does it again so it has a drill which lets you
get out of the underworld. He never dies in the game.
Class: Engineer - Cid isn't that good nor is he that bad. He has a
pretty decent amount of HP, but he has barely any magic and his defense
is very low. The better weapons you have equipped on him the better his
stats are. However, since you don't use him for a long time in the
game, he won't be that useful.
------
-Edge-
------
Edge is a born ninja and the prince of Eblan. Rubicant, the Element of
Fire, destroyed the kingdom of Eblan and everyone who lived there moved
into a cave and started living there. Rubicant also killed the King and
Queen of Eblan. Edge gets tired of this and goes to try to kill
Rubicant just as your party enters the cave of Eblan. You'll meet Edge
getting ransacked by Rubicant so he joins your party after Rosa cures
him from Rubicant's swoon. The party meets up with the king and queen
in the Tower of Babil, but they were turned into zombies and were
forced to die by Dr. Lugae. Afterwards Edge joins your party.
Class: Ninja - Edge's HP sucks at first, but gets really good later, a
little higher than Rosa's. He starts out with about 790HP... gah... and
he joins your party late in the game too. However, he has some nice
commands. His Sneak command is almost useless, as he tries to deliver a
critical blow to an enemy, and it misses a lot. His Ninja command is
pretty good. He has some nice spells such as Flame and Blitz he can do
with the Ninja command. His Dart Command lets him throw darts at the
enemy - such as Shurikens. Overall, he's an okay character that stays
in your party till the end.
--------
-FuSoYa-
--------
First of all, this name is pretty stupid. Why the heck did they need to
capitalize the S and Y? Doesn't make any sense... Anyways, Cecil and
the others meet FuSoYa up in the Moon. FuSoYa tells Cecil about his
father, also with the same kind of name (KluYa) and how he tried to
defeat Zemus. He tells Cecil the whole story on his father and how
Cecil's destiny is also to defeat Zemus, more evil than Golbez.
Class: Magician - He's good. No really. He starts out with ALL MAGIC.
Yep, ALL magic. He also starts out with 1900HP. That's actually not
that much, if you think about it... his other stats are okay. Overall,
his main strength is the awesome magic he has. Don't use him too much
on attacking though.

=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
RED WINGS ASSAULT:
The force of Red Wings and their captain, Cecil, which is you, are
heading to Mysidia to nab the crystal of Water, which the king of Baron
ordered them to get. They get off at Mysidia and tell the elder to hand
over the crystal. After that, they get back on the airship and start
heading back towards Baron. Cecil wonders why the king is so power mad
and wants the crystals so badly. Monsters will attack and Cecil will
get rid of them. Then the Airships all dock at Baron.
At Baron, Cecil hands the crystal over to Baigan, Captain of the Baron
forces. Baigan goes to the throne room and gives the crystal to the
king, and Cecil comes in. Cecil asks the king why he wants the crystals
so badly, but the king refuses to give him an answer and punishes Cecil
for suspicion by expelling him from captain of the Red Wings. The king
gives Cecil a package that he wants delivered to the village of Mist.
Kain, Cecil's best friend, comes in. After that they leave the throne
room and Kain heads right. Follow him and talk to him, then go back
outside and meet Rosa. She'll ask what happened. Head to your room (on
the left tower) and meet Cid, builder and constructor of the airships.
He'll talk to you and leave. Go to your room and take a rest. Once
again Cecil starts to wonder why the king wants the crystals so badly.
Rosa comes in in the morning. Exit and head to the main hallway, where
you'll meet Kain again. He'll help you deliver the package to Mist.
Once he joins you, the intro will start.
Once again, it says "why does the king want the crystals so badly?"
After some slow-moving paragraphs, it switches back to Kain and Cecil
on the world map.
BARON AREA:
Here you'll see two towns and a castle. The two towns are actually the
same town, so don't go crazy trying to find the differences. Enter one
of them and explore a little. The weapon shop is closed so the only
place you can shop at is the item shop. Buy some cures once you have
enough money. This is also the point where most of the FF4 GameShark
codes will work, since most of them are patched in the beginning. So if
you feel like cheating, do it now. Outside of the town, walk around a
little and gain levels.
There's a chocobo forest (patch of trees) somewhere around the area.
You can catch an MP-restoring Chocobo there or a Chocobo you can ride.
When riding Chocobos, you'll encounter no enemies at all, but once you
get off the Chocobo it runs back to the forest.
When you're ready, go northwest of the desert through the mountains and
enter the cave.
MIST PASS:
This dungeon is very easy as it's all actually one big room. There are
a few side paths that lead to treasures. The enemies are easy as
they're mainly the same ones from outside, with the Larva and SandMoth
added in. Keep going until you see the message "Stay back!" now turn
right and follow the path. There's really no explanation on how to get
through this dungeon since it's so easy. However, on some ROMs (if
you're playing this game on a ROM and not the FFC disk) all you will
see is fog. Press either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 to fix this. Press 6 to get
rid of anything you messed up when pressing those buttons. Near the end
you'll see another message. Then you'll see another one. Answer "Yes"
and a Mist Dragon will appear and attack you. This will be your first
boss fight.
=======================================================================
D.MIST
HP: 450
Gold: 200
Exp: 700
This boss is easy. Have Kain use Jump and Cecil attack. Heal when
you're low on health. The dragon will transform itself into mist. When
it does this don't attack, because it will counterattack with a pretty
powerful spell. Wait till it turns back to the dragon and continue
attacking it.
=======================================================================
Exit the Mist Cave once you beat the dragon.
DESERT AREA:
Just head east and enter the village of Mist.
MIST VILLAGE:
When you enter the package will automatically open (It will say
"Package opened" if you're playing FF2. What crappy translation, I hope
those guys who translated it aren't the ones who translated the Game
Boy FFs, those had HORRIBLE translations). Out of the Package will fly
several bombs and put the town on fire. A girl will be crying and Cecil
and Kain run up to her. Kain tells you that you should follow the
king's orders, but Cecil doesn't agree until Kain tells him that he'll
travel with him. Cecil then agrees and the girl attacks. She will
summon Titan, which will shred you.
You'll wake up by yourself, and Kain is gone. You're in a middle of
some forest and the girl that attacked you is also on the ground. Cecil
picks her up and you'll have to head for help.
DESERT AREA:
Head northeast to the village of Kaipo. There are some new enemies here
but nothing special.
KAIPO TOWN:
When you enter, Cecil will go to the inn. The innkeeper will let you
stay for free because the girl is hurt. You'll lay her down on the bed
and go to sleep. YET AGAIN Cecil wonders why the king of Baron wants
the crystals so badly. After this event, a couple of soldiers will come
in the room after you. They tell Cecil it's the king's orders to attack
you, so you're going to have to fight.
=======================================================================
OFFICER AND SOLDIERSx3
HP: 220, 30
Gold: 190, 55
Exp: 400, 160
Don't attack the soldiers first, because if you kill them the Officer
will escape, and you won't get his Experience. Attack the Officer first
until he's dead, then go after the soldiers.
=======================================================================
After killing him, the girl wakes up and realizes that Cecil is not a
bad guy. She tells him that her name is Rydia. From now you'll have her
in your party for quite a long period of time.
When you wake up the next morning, go outside and to the weapon shop.
You should have enough money to buy a Bow, and buy about 60 Iron
Arrows. Equip the Iron Arrows on Rydia's right hand, and the Bow on the
left hand. Rydia's other stuff is pretty up-to-date in Kaipo, so you
won't have to worry about buying new armor. Cecil's armor is also basic
as of now, and you won't find any new pieces in the Armor or Weapon
Shop. Re-stock on items (buy at least 4 Life's and 10 more Cure1's) and
go to the northeastern most house in Kaipo. Enter and go to the upper
room. You'll find Rosa in the bed. Talk to her and talk to the old and
you'll find out that she is very sick and you need the Sand Ruby from
the Antlion's cave to cure her. Leave Kaipo now once you're ready.
Before going on, gain some levels for Rydia in the desert region. She
starts out with tremendously low HP, so gain some levels for her and
she'll also learn new spells.
After you think you've leveled quite enough, go north into the area
surrounded by mountains and into the cave, which is the second dungeon
in the game.
THE WATER CAVE:
Enter and go north and open the chest across the bridge. Then go back
near the entrance and follow the path left. There will be a sage
blocking your way. Talk to him and he'll tell you his name, Tellah, the
legendary sage. He is trying to head back to Damcyan to get his
daughter Anna back from a greedy bard who she left with, but he can't
because of a monster blocking the way. He'll join your party and now
you have a very good party member in your presence!
Go north to the cave. This cave will be very long. Follow the path left
around this place. Be sure to use Lightning (Lit) attacks on the
enemies since they're mostly water based. Once you're on the top part
of the cave head north and through the door. Grab all treasures that
are in plain view and you know how to get to.
At some point you'll get to the Save Point. You'll all go to rest and
Rydia will sleep while Tellah tells you more about the monster that's
blocking the way to Damcyan kingdom. After you wake up head on north.
Get to the exit where Tellah tells you that it leads outside. Go
outside and save, then go north and enter the second part of the cave.
Jump the waterfall all the way down and head via water up the stairs,
don't take the current back down. Cross the bridge to the next room and
pass until you see a tentacle in a waterfall. Head all the way down
there and once you get near the tentacle Tellah will say it's the
monster that he was talking about and it will attack.
=======================================================================
OCTOMAMM
HP: 2280
Gold: 500
Exp: 1000
This guy has 8 parts to him, and you'll need to attack them one at a
time. Cecil should attack, Rydia should heal, and Tellah should use his
Lit spell. Each part has about 200-400HP, and the more parts you get
rid of the less attacks you will receive from the tentacles. It's
pretty easy but make sure Rydia's always alive and even until the end
of the battle, because she won't get the Experience from Octomamm if
she isn't alive until then. The last part of Octomamm has a slightly
bigger number of HPs than the others, so make sure you're ready for
some whackin'.
=======================================================================
After beating Octomamm, Tellah will finally shut up about the monster
and you can pass.
DAMCYAN AREA:
Go left and up. Once you get to the desert part, the world map will
zoom out and the Red Wings will come in and drop bombs on Damcyan. The
castle is destroyed and everyone is killed. Run over to Damcyan
quickly!
DAMCYAN RUINS:
Head north when you enter. There are lots of secret passages in this
area that lead to treasures, but your main concern is to find Tellah's
daughter Anna. Head up to the third floor. You'll find Anna lying on
the ground. Tellah will look at her and then the bard, Edward, who Anna
went to Damcyan with, comes. Tellah attacks him and in the battle
Edward keeps telling him to listen, but Tellah calls him a Spoony Bard
(FAMOUS quote, dunno why). Anna will then yell out to stop. She will
tell Tellah and Edward that the Red Wings are under command of Golbez
now, and he attacked Damcyan for the crystal. His next target is Fabul.
Anna will then die. Tellah will leave to avenge Anna's death by
himself, so he's out of your party. You'll need to retrieve the Sand
Ruby now to cure Rosa. Edward will join your party. OH MY GOD, is he
crappy. The worst character in the game. He will tell you that you can
use a hovercraft to get to the Antlion's cave.
DAMCYAN RUINS AREA:
The hovercraft can go through shallow areas (rocks in water) so you can
easily make it back to Kaipo by taking the shallow rock path to the
west of Damcyan. Go east though, past the rocks, and south. Enter the
cave which is the Antlion's Cave.
ANTLION CAVE:
This cave is fairly easy but the enemies you should watch out for. Head
south down the stairs, then go right, and up the stairs to the right
and follow the path right, then down. Head all the way down and then
left. You will see a small patch of blue in the wall. Touch it to go
through a secret passage. Head south until the dead end, then left and
north. You'll get out on the left side of the cave. Go right and head
down the stairs.
Follow the stairs all the way down and you will meet the Antlion.
Edward tells you he's tame, but he attacks you anyway.
=======================================================================
ANTLION
HP: 1500
Gold: 800
Exp: 1500
This guy will seem easy at first since he does less than 20 damage.
Since Edward is extremely useless and Rydia is almost (ALMOST) useless,
you're gonna have to rely on Cecil here. When you attack Antlion he
will always counter attack. However, he counterattacks a random person,
doing 30 or so damage. This can be fatal to Edward and Rydia, though.
Have Edward defend (parry) and Rydia heal and use the Chocobo summon
beforehand. That way the battle should be a piece of cake (or just have
Edward use his Hide command).
=======================================================================
After beating the Antlion, Edward will ask why the monsters are getting
so aggressive these days. Cecil changes the subject by telling him that
they must get the Sand Ruby back to Rosa, so you leave. Make your way
back through the cave to the surface.
DESERT/DAMCYAN AREA:
Take the hovercraft back to the Damcyan area and head west with it,
onto the shallows, and follow them south to the desert area with Kaipo
in it. Get off near Kaipo and enter.
KAIPO TOWN:
Go to the northeastern house and talk to Rosa. Give the SandRuby to
Rosa and she'll be healed. She'll tell Cecil that she followed him
after the Mist Village incident and ended up being attacked.
Afterwards, she will join your party and everyone will rest.
At night, Edward heads outside near the oasis and plays his harp.
However, a monster attacks him.
=======================================================================
WATERHAG
HP: 99999
Gold: 100
Exp: 800
Although it's a simple Water Hag, Edward is too much of a pussy to
defeat it. Just keep attacking it and healing until Anna's shadow
appears. She will stay in the background as you fight the Water Hag.
Just attack the Water Hag a couple of more times and Anna will say
something, then the Water Hag dies. You will gain 800 Exp, which
results in lots of levels for Edward, but he's still a pussy.
=======================================================================
Anna's image will fade away and Edward will go back to the inn.
In the dawn, the party wakes up and is about to head to Fabul. To get
to Fabul, you need to cross Mt. Hobs, east of the Antlion's Cave.
Go outside and get on your hovercraft. Go back to Damcyan via east
shallows, then go right to the shallows that you took to the Antlion's
cave. At the junction, go right instead of down, and dock near the big
mountain pass. Then enter it.
MT. HOBS:
Head up and you will see ice blocking the way. Rosa tells Rydia to cast
the spell of Fire but Rydia says she hates fire. Cecil reminds Edward
and Rosa that fire burned her village. But everyone stands up for her
and she still does. Now she has this spell as permanent.
Go north and left, up the stairs, and you will see a cave north of you
and a cave east. Go to the one north of you and head left and down to
the save point. Save and head down to find 4 treasure chests which
contain some low-level items. Take them all and go back to the first
screen. Now take the east cave and follow the path when you see a
karate man and monsters surrounding him.
The karate man, Yang, will take care of a bunch of Imp Captains that
surround him with his Kick attack. After this, the big bomb attacks.
Your party decides to help him.
=======================================================================
MOMBOMB
HP: 7000
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
This thing you cannot defeat, but you need to attack it. It has some
damaging attacks which can do about 100 damage to a character - very
dangerous to Rydia and Edward. Have Rydia summon Chocobo and Rosa heal,
while Yang and Cecil do their regular attack. Take out half it's HP and
after a while it'll turn big and a message "Exploding..." will appear.
Immediately make sure you have over 100HP healed for each turn, because
the Mombomb will do about 90 damage to each character with the
explosion. After it does explode, 3 Gray Bombs and 3 Bombs come out.
They're hard, believe it or not. Use Yang's kick and heal up, since
they can also explode, causing about 80 damage to one character.
=======================================================================
After the battle Yang will thank you for helping him and Cecil tells
him that Fabul is about to be attacked. Yang figures out that when they
were training at Mt. Hobs the monsters attacked the karate men to
distract them while Golbez gets the crystal. Yang will join up and you
have to hurry to Fabul. Just go north and exit Mt. Hobs.
FABUL AREA:
Head east a little ways and follow the path south, then east, and enter
the big castle.
FABUL:
Go forward and into the castle. There are three paths here. One left,
one right, and one forward. The left one leads to the inn and item
shop, and I suggest you go there to restock on items and rest after the
battle in Mt. Hobbs. The right one leads to the weapon shop. There is
nothing much new there except some element claws for Yang and new
armors for Cecil. Buy the armor for Cecil and go back to the central
hallway. Go north and up the stairs, then forward through the door.
Talk to the king and he'll say that Cecil, Yang, and Edward should
protect the castle while Rosa and Rydia stay in the room. You'll be
sent to the front lines, and the enemy will attack.
You'll fight 2 fighters and a general first. Just have Edward die and
have Yang and Cecil do their normal attack. You'll find out there are
too much so you'll be falling back while many enemies will be attacking
you. They're all pretty easy. Once you back out to the throne room the
king will tell one of the martial artists to lock the door. The guy
opens the door instead and reveals that he's really a monster. You'll
fight him and then one more fight. Then you'll be sent to the crystal
room and Edward falls down (I was hoping he'd die) and you'll have to
fight another batch of enemies, and finally go into the crystal room.
After looking at the crystal, Kain comes in. Cecil finds out that Kain
is alive but Kain wants to kill Cecil. Looks like Golbez is mind-
controlling him! Cecil and Kain will enter a fight. You can't beat
this, just have Kain keep attacking you until you get down to less than
80HP. The fight will then be over and Golbez comes in. He tells Kain to
get the crystal and Kain goes to retrieve it. Then he takes Rosa
hostage.
After those events, Fabul is still safe but the crystal is taken. Go to
the right tower and upstairs, then talk to the king. He will give you a
Black Sword. Equip it on Cecil then go back down to the inn. Rest up
and the next day you will need to attack Baron to retrieve the
crystals. A ship is ready so you will need to go get it. Exit Fabul and
head east.
SHIP:
Yang will say goodbye to his wife as you all board the ship. It will
then start moving. You'll see it going to Baron and near the middle it
shifts to what's happening in the ship. Edward seems to be sad about
something. It goes back to the world map and a whirlpool appears in the
water. The ship will start to get sucked in and a big monster appears
out of the whirlpool. The captain says it's Leviathan and the legends
about the sea god are true. After that the ship will get sucked in the
whirlpool.
BEACH/MYSIDIA AREA:
Cecil will wake up all by himself on a mysterious beach. Once you get
control of yourself, walk east to the town.
MYSIDIA:
Yep, it's Mysidia, the water crystal town that your robbed in the very
beginning of the game. If you talk to anyone, they'll remember you and
turn you into mini. This can be fatal, so use a heal to replenish
yourself. There is an item shop and weapon shop here too, but they sell
magic stuff and nothing for Cecil. Go north to the big house and talk
to the elder. Cecil will tell him that he is apologizing for the attack
earlier and that the king forced him to do it, but the elder says no
apologies and tells Cecil that if he wants to overcome his evil he
needs to go to Mt. Ordeals and become a paladin. Cecil agrees because
he doesn't want to be a Dark Knight anymore. The elder gives Cecil
Porom and Palom, two twins that know lots of magic. Palom knows black
magic and Porom knows white. They'll join your party after a big
introduction, and you'll have 2 new party members.
Go back outside and buy some stuff in the weapon and armor shops for
Palom and Porom since they have pretty crappy equipment. They also have
low HP, so you'll need to protect them often. Once you're ready, exit
Mysidia.
MYSIDIA AREA:
Just follow the path east; no junctions are here. Once you get to the
forested circle, enter the big mountain in the middle.
MT. ORDEALS:
In the beginning just go left and there will be fire blocking the way.
If you were stupid enough not to stop at Mysidia and talk to the elder,
then you have to go back. Palom and Porom will use Ice on the fire and
get rid of it. It will then shift to what's happening in Golbez's
Tower. Rosa is tied up and Kain is guarding her. Golbez calls Milon,
the element of Earth, to his aid. He tells Milon that Cecil is getting
ready to become a paladin and Milon needs to stop him before he does.
Milon agrees and goes to find Cecil. Kain asks why Golbez didn't give
him the mission and gave Milon the mission instead but Golbez tells
Kain to shut up. Follow the path after that to the third station, then
just go through.
You'll meet a familiar face... Tellah! He's searching for his lots
magic here too, and decides to come with you here. He's still the same
as you left him back in Damcyan though. Just go into the cave to the
next station and follow through. Once you get to the last screen, there
will be save point to the right. You'll hear hissing noises. Porom will
tell Palom to shut up but Palom says it's not him. Save, and head for
the bridge. You'll meet Milon now, the one that was creating all those
noises.
=======================================================================
MILON, GHASTx4
HP: 2500
Gold: 3300
Exp: 3800
This can be pretty tough. You always do 1 damage to the Ghasts so it
figures that you have to kill them another way. Keep Palom and Porom
protected and select "Twin". Make sure they don't die while loading the
twin magic! They will release it doing a very powerful random spell on
all enemies. This should kill all the Ghasts and damage Milon greatly.
After that Milon can really annoy you because of hit Lightning attack
three times in a row. Just have Cecil attack and Tellah heal while
Palom and Porom are either dead or charge up for another twin attack.
=======================================================================
After the battle, immediately go back and save. Then cross the bridge
again. Milon's not dead!
=======================================================================
MILON Z
HP: 3000
Gold: 3000
Exp: 4000
Although it's a back attack, this battle is actually easier than the
last. Milon Z does a lot of poison spells, and sometimes over 110HP of
damage, but he isn't as hard as the last battle with Milon. If you're
poisoned, don't heal it, just keep on fighting. Palom and Porom should
use Twin, Tellah should heal and Cecil should attack. Cecil should
deliver 300 damage each turn if he has the Black Sword so it should be
cake. This battle is not too hard so don't worry.
=======================================================================
Milon Z falls off the cliff finally and you'll need to enter the grave
that's right near you. Once you enter it, Cecil will gain the power of
the Paladin and his image will change. But the image in the mirror is
still the dark knight and you need to defeat it, only with Cecil.
=======================================================================
DARK KNIGHT
HP: 99999
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
This may seem easy since now you're a Paladin, but you can't defeat the
dark knight. He will keep on using Dragon Wave on you, which does about
100 HP of damage. You have a lot of HP, but since Cecil's sword sucks
ass, just defend. Attack a couple of times to progress, then the
message will change and the dark knight will disappear.
=======================================================================
You will hear your father's voice and it will fade. Tellah then
memorizes his old magic. Palon and Porom try to tell you something but
Tellah tells you to get a move on. With Tellah's new magic, you're
unstoppable!
Head back all the way to Mysidia.
MYSIDIA:
Go talk to the elder. Now you can talk to the villagers and they will
congratulate you. Once you talk to the elder he will meet Tellah and
can help you get to Baron. Palom and Porom decide to go with you,
however. So you'll be stuck with 4 party members for now. Go to the
village and go to the northeastern house. Enter and take the
teleporter. It leads all the way to Baron.
BARON TOWN:
You'll get off in a house in the town. The door lock opens so you can
use this teleporter to head to Mysidia anytime you like. The weapon
shop is still closed, so restock on items and go to the Inn. Instead of
resting, go north to the bar and talk to the karate man sitting with
the two guards. It's Yang! Talk to him, but he gets Baron Guards to
attack you!
=======================================================================
GUARDx2
HP: 400
Gold: 500
Exp: 720
These two are TOUGH! They don't have very much HP but they have the
Size attack that reduces your size to mini, very dangerous! They also
attack, doing 250HP, which is definitely fatal to Palom and Porom.
Hopefully you can beat this battle fast. Use Tellah's very powerful
magic and you should be able to kill them in one or two hits.
=======================================================================
Then Yang suddenly attacks you.
=======================================================================
YANG
HP: 2000
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
This battle would've been easier if the two guards didn't wear you down
so much. Yang taunts and kicks, doing 100 damage to all. I think he
also punches, never saw him though. This battle isn't too hard, so stay
healed.
=======================================================================
You'll find out that Yang has been mind-controlled by Golbez but you
freed him. He tells you that Rydia has been swallowed by Leviathan and
Edward just disappeared (I hope he dies...). Then you all go to the inn
room and Yang has the Baron Key. With it you can sneak into the castle
using an old waterway.
Exit the inn, re-stock on items, and head to the weapon/armor shop. You
can open the door using the Baron Key. There's really nothing new there
to buy. Go to the door at the well west of the stairs and use the Baron
Key to enter it, then go downstairs.
BARON UNDERPASS:
This dungeon is an old waterway that leads from Baron town to Baron
Castle. Follow the path, go right, down for treasures, up, cross the
bridges and follow the path, then go to the next screen. Get in the
water here and look for hidden passages (there's a patch of blue on the
walls. That's the hidden passages). Go right through the hidden
passage, then right again through the second hidden passage. Go down,
get on the island for the treasure chest, go back down and find the
hidden passage south, go right, up climbing the waterfalls, the to the
next screen. Follow the path, find the hidden path near the end to the
left for the treasure chest. Then go to the door to the next screen.
Here, go to the left door and inside. Save and rest at the save point
there, then go back to the junction and go right and follow the path
up. Go to the next screen.
You'll appear in Baron Castle at the moat, go left, down, right, and
into the passage to get inside Baron Castle. Go up the tower to Cecil's
room and rest there. Then go into the door and get to the main hallway
of Baron Castle. Don't worry; there are no enemies in the place. You'll
meet Baigan in the main hallway. He'll join your party to go take on
the king of Baron. As you're going, Palom and Porom smell monster
scent. Baigan isn't on your side!
=======================================================================
BAIGAN
HP: 3500
Gold: 3000
Exp: 4830
LEFT ARM
HP: 300
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
RIGHT ARM
HP: 300
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
This can be tough. The arms can do powerful stuff on you, or cast Wall
on Baigan. This can be dangerous. If you kill the arms, Baigan will
immediately use Recover to get them all back, so you're gonna have to
be quick here. Get Tellah to use Lit3 on Baigan quickly before Wall is
cast. Cecil should attack Baigan while Yang do whatever you want him to
do and Palom and Porom do Twin.
=======================================================================
After beating Baigan, Palom and Porom tell Cecil to be careful, then
you get control of Cecil again. Go north through the door. There will
be another boss coming up, but you don't need to save, you'll see why.
Get to the throne room and talk to the king. He tells you about the
real Baron king, and then he reveals himself - Cagnazzo the water
element.
=======================================================================
CAGNAZZO
HP: 5000
Gold: 4000
Exp: 5500
This is the easiest boss in the game. No doubt about it, even though
he's an element. He is MEANT to be easy. His wave attack only does 100
damage to the whole party. All you have to do here is Tellah's Lit3
anytime. This does 3000+ damage to him. Do it again and he's dead.
Don't be afraid when he's surrounded by a wave, it just means he'll be
doing his wave attack next turn.
=======================================================================
After beating Kainazzo, Cid comes in the room. Cecil introduces
everyone and it appears that Kainazzo is still alive and will use the
walls to block you in! As you're running the walls close in. Palom and
Porom say they're goodbyes and turn to Stone!!! They block the walls
with their stone spell. Tellah tries to cure them but it doesn't
work... great loss.
MAJOR SPOILER
Palom and Porom are "dead" (turned to stone forever) and you can't use
them again.
MAJOR SPOILER
The scene will switch back to Golbez's place. Kain gives Golbez the
idea of having Cecil getting the crystal for Golbez in exchange for
Rosa. Golbez says that's a good idea and Kain decides to be the
messenger.
Back at Baron Castle Cid leads you to the airship Enterprise, which is
underground. It will rise and Cid will tell you the controls. Now you
have your own airship! But... an enemy airship is coming! But they have
a surrender flag with them.
It's Kain and a couple of monsters. Kain tells Cecil to get the Troia
crystal in exchange for Rosa. Cecil tries to talk but Kain interrupts
again. Then his airship leaves. Now you can go anywhere in the
overworld using your airship Enetrprise!
You now can go Troia, but make a quick stop at Mist and check it out. I
thought it was burned down... anyway you can also go to Agart, south of
Baron. There's nothing to do there now and their equipment sucks
though. Go to Troia, west of Damcyan. Land your airship in the grass
right near the town and go in the castle.
TROIA:
Go forward two screens and talk to all the clerics, then go to the left
passage and outside. Go south and enter the door. There is a wounded
person in bed, it's Edward! Damn it, he's alive! Not like you would use
him now anyways. Talk to him and you'll learn that the Crystal of Earth
has been taken by the Dark Elf. He gives you the Twin Harp to go the
Magnetic Cave, where the Dark Elf resides. In the Magnetic Cave
anything metallic will paralyze you un-curable through the whole cave.
It will paralyze Cid and Cecil completely since their weapons are made
of metal, BUT it won't paralyze Tellah and Yang, UNLESS they have any
armor made of metal equipped. So un-equip all their armor that's made
of metal before going in.
TROIA AREA:
To get to the Magnetic Cave, you will need a Black Chocobo. Go north of
the town and into the small forest patch - that's the Chocobo village.
Just mash on the action button while walking around a Black Chocobo and
you will catch you, enabling you to use it.
The Black Chocobo flies, but it can't fly over mountains. It can only
land on forests, so the island east of the Troian Chocobo village has
the Magnetic Cave. Before going there, go southwest of the southern
coast of Troia. You should come across a couple of islands. Land in the
forest near the town and enter the town.
SILVERA/MYTHRIL VILLAGE:
This town is full of weird creatures and minimized people. There isn't
much to do here yet, but you gotta see their weapons and armor! Their
stuff is all Silver/Mythril, so it's metal and can't be used in the
Magnetic Cave. Still - buy all you can, this stuff can really boost
your status up high. The item shop only sells Heals, though.
When you get back on the Black Chocobo, it takes you back to the
Toroian Chocobo Village. Just catch another one and fly to the Cave of
Magnes.
MAGNET CAVE:
In the Magnetic Cave anything metallic will paralyze you un-curable
through the whole cave. It will paralyze Cid and Cecil completely since
their weapons are made of metal, BUT it won't paralyze Tellah and Yang,
UNLESS they have any armor made of metal equipped. So un-equip all
their armor that's made of metal before going in.
Go right until you get to the bridge junction, go down, and follow the
path to the stairs. Here, go up all the way, then the path left to the
next level. Here, there is a door to a save point, use it and go down,
then into the door for some treasures. After that, exit the treasure
room and cross the Bridge left, then go up. Enter the door, and follow
the path. Once you come to the next save point, save, then go to where
the torches line up. Follow them to the end and enter the door.
This is the crystal room, and the Dark Elf guards the Crystal of Earth.
He'll attack you.
=======================================================================
DARK ELF
HP: 99999
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
This is unbeatable. He'll do an array of different spells on you. After
he does Weak, the scene goes to Toroia where Edward is. He'll know that
you're in trouble and tries to get his harp. Once he does, he'll play
it and the music comes to the cave via Twin Harp. The metallic barrier
is now gone. BTW, Dark Elf looks kinda like Astos from FF1, doesn't he?
=======================================================================
You can walk around, and you're recovered. Talk to the Dark Elf and
you'll fight.
=======================================================================
DARK ELF
HP: 3000
Gold: 5000
Exp: 7500
He isn't too hard as his spells do jack now. Just attack him a couple
of times and he'll turn into a dragon. This battle is a little harder,
but persevere. Use Tellah's Lit3 and everyone else should attack. He
doesn't have a lot of powerful spells so this battle isn't something I
would call major.
=======================================================================
Once you beat him, you'll get the Crystal of Earth. Use Tellah's Exit
magic to bring you back to the surface. Get on the Black Chocobo and it
will take you back to the Chocobo village. If you're too lazy to walk
to Toroia, catch another Chocobo and take it to Toroia.
Once you get to Toroia Castle, go to Edward's room. He'll congratulate
you and Tellah will thank him this time. Now go to the room with the
Clerics and they will find out you have the crystal. Then, you will
hear Kain from outside telling you to get on your airship with the
crystal. Get out of Toroia and get on the airship.
Once on the Airship, the Red Wings airship comes to you. Kain will ask
for the crystal, but Cecil wants to see Rosa. Kain takes the crystal
and sends Cecil and his group to the Tower of Zot - Golbez's hideout.
You will hear Golbez's voice and he'll tell you to get to the top of
the tower for Rosa.
TOWER OF ZOT:
Once you control Cecil, go the treasure chest and get the Fire Armor.
This armor is strong against anything except for Fire, so don't equip
it because there are a lot of fire monsters roaming around the Tower.
Got up the stairs to the next screen. You will see a chest in plain
view, but it contains a Flame Dog monster. Beat it for a Fire Sword.
Keep on going to the next floor, which has a door there too. Make your
way to the door and you will be in a place that has three doors in the
center and one door on the far right. All the doors in the center lead
to treasure chests, but the one on the far right lets you continue. In
this floor there are two doors, the center one leads to the save point
so be sure to save, because hard bosses are coming up. Use a tent, then
exit the save room and go left and up. Valvalis's Magus Sisters appear
and will attack you.
=======================================================================
SANDY, CINDY, AND MINDY
HP: 2500 (Sandy), 4000 (Cindy), 2000 (Mindy)
Gold: 15000
Exp: 15000
These three are tough. Sandy will cast Wall on Cindy, Cindy will help
out Mindy, and Mindy will use an attack on a character. Afterwards they
do a Delta Attack, which is actually a powerful spell like Fire3 or
Lit3. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY FIRE EQUIPMENT FOUND IN THE TOWER
OF ZOT EQUIPPED!!! If you do, any fire attacks will do double damage on
you. Have Tellah use Lit3 to try to kill the sister without Wall first.
Mainly, aim for Cindy first, because she will be a definite threat when
alone or when one sister is dead. Sandy likes to cast Wall on a sister
and then cast a spell on her to reflect on a random character in your
party. Since Sandy casts Wall, kill her first so she doesn't do it
again. Once she is dead wait for any enemy with Wall to have the Wall
disappear and attack Cindy. Do not let Cindy live last or second. If
you do, she will fully revive Sandy and Mindy. Kill Cindy then attack
Mindy.
=======================================================================
They will all mumble about the Delta Attack not working and then they
will die. Go back to save, and then proceed to the room past where you
fought the sisters. Go up and you will see Kain and Golbez. Golbez
tricks you and he won't give you Rosa, but this time he won't get away
so easily. Tellah attacks him to try to avenge Anna.
=======================================================================
GOLBEZ
HP: 99999
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
You can't control this battle. Read the messages and watch as Tellah's
spells don't do anything to Golbez. Golbez will mock Tellah but Tellah
decides to use Meteo. Cecil will tell him it will kill him but Tellah
tells him that he would give his life away to kill Golbez. He will then
use Meteo and Golbez falls.
=======================================================================
The Meteo knocked Kain out, but killed Tellah. Cecil attacks Golbez but
Golbez counterattacks and critically wounds Cecil, then escapes with
the crystals, and Cecil, Yang, and Cid hear Tellah's last words because
he dies.
MAJOR SPOILER
Tellah dies
MAJOR SPOILER
After the events, talk to Kain, who is lying down on the ground. He
will wake up and come to his senses that he was controlled by Golbez
and is no longer controlled because Meteo knocked him out. He will then
join your party again and you need to hurry for Rosa! In the next room,
you see Rosa, Cecil quickly saves her before the big blade hits her.
Rosa finds Kain back to normal and now you need to escape before the
tower is destroyed! But just as you're going back Valvalis, third
element and element of Wind, attacks you.
=======================================================================
VALVALIS
HP: 6000
Gold: 5500
Exp: 9500
This battle is tough! You have Kain replacing Tellah and you also have
Rosa, who DID gain some levels and now has 699HP. Valvalis is tough,
first she will do some hard attacking on you, so make sure you preserve
Rosa's turns for later and use healing items. The real problem is the
fact that she will turn into a tornado and do some really hurtful
attacks on you. Her Storm attack will drop you down to HP below 100 and
her Ray attack will start to petrify you. Make sure you use some Heals
before you are fully petrified and do Rosa's healing before it's too
late. To stop Valvalis from doing the bad attacks and being in a
tornado, you will need to have Kain Jump. Preserve his turns until she
turns into a tornado and then have him quickly Jump. When she is back
to her normal form immediately do your best since you don't have any
Black Magic. Hits from Cecil and Kain will do a lot as well as Yang's.
Cid will do okay, and Rosa should only heal.
=======================================================================
After beating her she will take the whole tower with you but Rosa will
use Exit and teleport to Baron Castle. Everyone is alright here and
Kain tells everyone that Golbez is now searching for the underground
crystals which are known as the Dark Crystals. Kain gives Cecil the
Magma Key he got from Golbez when he was under his control. It is used
to get to the underworld, but you won't know where to use it. Cecil
says they can't go anywhere because the Enterprise sunk with Zot, but
Cid uses a Remote Control to bring the Enterprise back. Now with 5
party members exit Baron Castle and get on the Enterprise.
AGART:
Go directly south of Baron via Enterprise to the town of Agart. There
is nothing much to see here except for the big well in the middle.
Enter the temple and use the Magma key on the well. It will show the
world map and the mountain near Agart opening revealing a hole into the
darkness. This leads to the underworld. When you enter, however, you
won't be able to return up to the main world in a while. So make sure
you're ready and have visited Silvera before going down there. To get
down there you just need to go to the black part and land.
UNDERWORLD:
The Enterprise will be moving somewhere until you see the Red Wings
coming to attack you, but some Dwarf Tanks appear on the left side and
attack the Red Wings. The Enterprise gets caught in the middle and
crashes down on the ground away from the battle.
You will be near a castle, so save and go into it.
DWARF CASTLE:
The dwarves say "Lali-ho!" which is one annoying phrase in my opinion.
In FF9 they say "Rally-ho!" quit making fun of dwarves, you Square
people. Don't you know that dwarves live outside the Milky Way galaxy?
Oh wait, those dwarves are stars... whatever, nevermind.
Just go on forward here. Keep on going and get to the throne room. You
will meet Giott, the King of the Dwarves. Talk to him and you'll learn
that he has the last crystal hidden behind his throne. Cid will say
that he will go back to the surface to try to fix the Enterprise, and
Giott will comment on what weird stuff they have up there. Cid leaves
your party now. However, Yang suspects something in the room, and
you'll see something jump up in the room behind Giott. Anyways, he
opens the door there. Once you enter, you'll see puppets jumping
around. There are 6 of them and they call themselves the Cals and
Brenas.
=======================================================================
CALx3, BRENAx3
HP: 600 (Cal) 350 (Brena)
Gold: 500 (each)
Exp: 1200 (each)
These guys are easy. All you need to do is destroy a couple of them.
Just have Cecil and Kain target one Cal, while Rosa attacks the Brenas
and Yang kicks. After a while, they'll all transport into one big
creature known as the Calbrena!
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
CALBRENA
HP: 5000
Gold: 7000
Exp: 19000
This battle is pretty hard. Calbrena uses some powerful attacks,
including a Confusion attack, which can really get your party members
off-hand. Use Yang to attack a party member so they won't be confused
anymore, or have Calbrena do the job, but it does about 300 damage, so
make sure you have enough HP. Have Kain Jump all the time and Rosa
heal. You need to beat this battle quickly or Calbrena will make short
work of you. Also Calbrena can turn back to the puppets if it runs out
of power.
=======================================================================
After beating them, Golbez appears. He also attacks you.
=======================================================================
GOLBEZ, SHADOW
HP: 2400, 820
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
Golbez will first do a powerful attack, which will paralyze all your
party members. Then he will summon his Call Monster Shadow, which will
do an instant kill on your party members. Shadow will take out all
until Cecil is left, but then the Mist Dragon (remember?) appears and
takes out Shadow. Rydia comes and helps you out! You only have Rydia
and Cecil alive, and don't waste time trying to get the others back to
life. Chances are Golbez will kill off Rydia, but you need to get
Golbez's HP away too. This can be hard, after all that with Calbrena.
If you do have the time, revive Kain and get him to Jump on Golbez,
otherwise, have Rydia summon to get Golbez away from you.
=======================================================================
After beating him, everyone will thank Rydia for saving them, but
Golbez's hand grabs the crystal and disappears. Rydia says she was
swallowed by Leviathan and sent to the Land of Summoned Monsters where
she got the Call powers.
Back in the throne room Giott says that there is one more crystal left
in the Sealed Cave, and that all the crystals are in the Tower of
Babil. Giott gives the idea of going to the Tower of Babil and
retrieving all the crystals while Golbez is searching for the last one
in the Sealed Cave.
Exit the throne room south and go left this time to the left tower. Go
downstairs to the shops. In the weapon shop, buy the new spear for Kain
and the Dwarf Axe for Cecil. Then buy all the armors needed, but not
the Fire Armors. Go downstairs and talk to the dwarf near the bookcase.
He will open the secret door for you. Go through it to the cave, then
just go southwest and exit there. There are no enemies here so don't
worry.
DWARF BASE:
Not much to do here. Talk to the dwarves and buy whatever you need.
Heal up at the water pot for free and exit.
DWARF AREA:
Just go north and then follow the path west. You might want to gain
levels here a bit if you want. Once you see tanks shooting at a big
tower you'll know that it's your destination. As you're approaching the
Tower of Babil you'll be stopped to see how much more the tanks will
shoot. Go up to the entrance and enter.
TOWER OF BABIL:
Once you enter, cross the bridge and go to the middle door. The enemies
in this place are pretty hard so if I were you I would en-equip any
elemental equipment, especially Fire elemental equipment. In the next
screen, go down all the way and right. You'll pass a door. Inside is a
treasure chest with a Blizzard Spear. This spear is VERY essential for
Kain especially later on, but it's guarded by an Alert. Alerts summon
other creatures to do the job for them. Kill it quickly before it
summons too many creatures. Pick up the Blizzard spear and equip it on
Kain. Then exit this room and go right. On the right corner you'll see
another door, which leads to another treasure chest guarded by an
Alert. I forgot what's in this chest, but it's probably more Ice
equipment. Exit this room and go left, then up, to enter the last door
onto the next floor. On this floor, go all the way to the right into
the door. Search the two treasure chests then exit go left. On the next
floor, you'll see many doors. All treasure chests around here are
usually guarded by Alerts. One of the room has a save point. Save, then
exit and go right, crossing the bridge. You can go to the door on the
top right here to get an Ice Shield from yet another Alert. After that,
cross the bridge on the top side of the floor and go upstairs again. On
the next floor, head down all the way, then right. Go up to the chest
if you want money. Otherwise go right. The door in the top middle is
locked for now so you have no business there yet. So go right and up to
the next floor. On the next floor, all you need to do is go to the door
left from you. On the next floor, go right to a door with a Save point.
Save, then exit and head to the other door which leads to the next
floor. Just go left till you see Dr. Lugae and Rubicant. Rubicant
teleports away to Eblan and Dr. Lugae will be happy that he's the only
one in the Tower of Babil and now he owns it. When he turns around and
sees you he attacks you with himself and his robot Balnab.
=======================================================================
DR. LUGAE, BALNAB, BALNAB-Z
HP: 3000, 3000, 3200
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
This fight is very easy. All you have to do is attack the Frankenstein-
looking robot and kill him first. Balnab will get an error and attack
Dr. Lugae, but then he will attack you. Just attack Balnab, then go for
Lugae. Attack him for a bit and he will get on Balnab and control him,
making Balnab-Z. This guy can do up to 400HP of damage to one
character, so heal and attack. Don't waste too much in this battle,
though, you have another one coming up.
=======================================================================
After the fight, Dr. Lugae attacks you again!
=======================================================================
DR. LUGAE
HP: 6000
Gold: 4000
Exp: 15000
At the beginning he will transform into a zombie-type monster. That
doesn't mean you can simply kill it though. He will do lots of poison
attacks and can use a gas attack, then a fire attack which does double
damage to the ones that are affected by the gas. Have Cecil attack and
Kain Jump, while Rosa cures and Rydia calls anyone. Yang should also
attacks. This fight can be tough, but you should be prepared.
=======================================================================
After the fight, Dr. Lugae says the Super Cannon will fire soon and
destroy the Dwarves, then he dies, dropping the Tower Key. You now need
to stop the Super Cannon. Do not go north, as it leads to a dead-end
for now. Instead, backtrack all the way to the floor with the center
door which was locked. Use the tower key to open it. Inside you will
fight 3 Dark Imps. Kill them, then they will get ready to fire the
cannon. However, Yang decides to stop them and hold them. Cecil says he
will die but Yang says he's wishing safety to everyone, especially his
wife. Then you run out as the room explodes and Yang dies.
Now you need to exit the Tower of Babil. Notice how you can't use Exit?
Yep, you have to get back down there... just head back down to the
first floor to the bridge. Once on the bridge, you hear Golbez's voice
and the bridge collapses!
Just as you're falling to Magma, the Enterprise comes to save you. It's
Cid! He asks who Rydia is and Cecil tells him the whole story, then he
asks where is Yang, but Cecil tells him the bad news. Suddenly, a Red
Wings airship appears behind you and starts chasing you! The Enterprise
turns on it's power engines to go faster, but the Red Wings Airship has
been modified and just won't give up. Cid then makes up a plan to blow
a hole on the ceiling of the underworld for you to get through to the
over world so the underworld path closes and the Red Wings airship gets
trapped inside, but Cecil tells him it's not a good idea to sacrifice
himself. Cid says it's for the good of everyone and does it anyway. He
jumps off the airship with the bomb, then blows it up, making a hole in
the wall.
Everyone is startled off the loss of Cid, but like every other death in
the game, they get over it eventually. Now it shows the hole in the
Agart Mountains and the Enterprise gets through it before it closes up.
You won't be able to return to the underworld for a while now.
Go north of Agart to Baron Castle. Enter and go the right side, where
you see two weirdly dressed guys. Talk to them and they tell you
they're Cid's co-workers and will attach a hook to the Enterprise so
you can carry your old hovercraft to different places. Watch as they do
different things to the Enterprise. Once they're done, you'll now be
able to use your hook.
Go northeast to where Mt. Hobbs is. That's where your hovercraft should
be. Have the Enterprise fly above the hovercraft and press the action
button. This will hook up the hovercraft to the Enterprise so you can
carry it anywhere. Notice how you see many shallows around the world?
Well, now you can bring the hovercraft there and use it to cross the
shallows. Take it to the Eblan island first. It's the one with the big
tower rising out of the darkness (Tower of Babil). Land the hovercraft
near the Eblan ruins, then land the Enterprise. You can go to the Eblan
Ruins if you want, but it's optional and doesn't have very good
treasures. Instead, use the hovercraft to cross the shallows west of
Eblan Ruins and enter the cave.
CAVE EBLAN:
Just go down and left to the southwest corner of the cave and enter
that part. There isn't much to see in this room, though. In the second
room, you'll find a town. This is the place of all the Eblan survivors
and where they live. Go to the item shop and stock up on items, then go
to the weapon and armor shop and buy new equipment if needed. You'll
learn about the destruction of Eblan and how the people came to live in
this cave. Enter the northern-most door to continue deeper into the
cave. Here you'll see many wounded guards saying that the Prince of
Eblan went to challenge Rubicant by himself. Just go on forward north
to the next room. In this room, just go on and make sure not to miss
the Shuriken, because that's pretty useful for later, even though no
one can use it for now. In the next room, there are many hidden
passages but you won't have to go through most of them unless you want
treasures. You will find many wounded guards around and they all talk
about the Prince going to fight Rubicant alone. Just go through, then
go forward to the next room with the save point. Just follow the lone
path and go right, up, and left and you will see Prince Edge getting
ready to fight Rubicant. A battle will start and you won't be able to
control it. Edge uses Flame on Rubicant but Rubicant then uses Glare
and knocks Edge out. Then you will come and help but Rubicant escaped.
Rosa heals Edge and he thanks you. You are also going to destroy
Rubicant and get the crystals so Edge joins you. He has the Throw
Command, which is what that Shuriken was for. Believe me, it can do
quite a lot of damage. Anyway, go up the stairs and you'll come to the
other part of the Tower of Babil.
TOWER OF BABIL:
Go up the stairs to the very top and face the wall. Edge uses his ninja
techniques to get through along with you. You now have Edge as your
front party member. Get the chest at the top, then go to the door on
the other side. Go forward in this room and you will see a chest in the
middle which takes a while to get to. If you open the chest you will
fight monsters, but get an Ogre Axe in return. After getting it, go
back up and left to the next door. On the next floor just grab the
chest containing some money and continue to the next door. On the next
floor, cross the bridges. You can find a Middle Blade for Edge in this
area. Be sure to equip it because it's (of course) better than Edge's
Short Blades. Cross the bridge to the left to the next door. On the
next floor, you will see a warper in plain view. It looks just like the
warper in the other Tower of Babil, but you can't use this one either.
Go right, enter the door to a Save Point. Use a tent and save, then
exit the room. Go to the door on the right to the next floor. In this
place, proceed left and just as you go to the center the king Eblan and
Queen Eblan appear. Edge is happy to see them, but they attack you.
=======================================================================
K. EBLAN, Q. EBLAN
HP: 99999, 99999
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
You can't beat this battle. Just keep attacking King Eblan. Edge will
keep asking what happened but they don't respond. Their attacks are
weak, doing less than 100 HP of damage, so don't worry about healing. A
while into the fight something happens to K. Eblan and Q. Eblan and
they are transformed into their human form but are still inside the
monster. They tell you they will die soon because they were possessed.
Wait a while and Edge will beg but K. Eblan dies, then Q. Eblan.
=======================================================================
After the fight, Rubicant appears. Edge blames Rubicant for everything
but Rubicant says Dr. Lugae turned King and Queen Eblan into monsters.
After that Edge learns two new attacks. Go back to the save point and
save, but don't use a Tent unless you're going to gain levels around
the place. If you're not, don't use a Tent and go back to Rubicant.
Go left of the main bridge to Rubicant to the chest which contains A
LOT of money.
Rubicant wants a fair fight, so he will restore all your HP and MP once
you talk to him, then you will have to fight him.
=======================================================================
RUBICANT
HP: 21000
Gold: 7000
Exp: 25000
First before the fight you want to make sure you have the Blizzard
Spear equipped on Kain, since it will lots of damage on Rubicant.
Second, even though he is a Fire Element, Ice Armor won't matter much
in here since his threat doesn't come from fire attacks. Always have
Kain Jump, because this will do about 3500HP of damage when his cloak
is closed and about 5000 when it's closed. When his cloak is open, get
ready to have someone die, because his Glare attack will do over 2000HP
of damage and definitely kill a person. Edge should use his Ninja Flood
attack while Rosa heals, Cecil attacks, and Rydia uses the Virus
attack. He isn't too hard, but stay on your toes.
=======================================================================
After beating him he says you're worthy and dies. After that, the Eblan
chamberlain comes over to get Edge back, but Edge says no because he
wants to stay with the group. The chamberlain leaves him alone and
leaves. Now Edge will be in your party for a while! Proceed into the
crystal room.
In here, just go forward and you'll fall in a trapdoor, falling down to
the very bottom of the tower. Looks like all of that was done for
nothing, huh?
Just find the doors and proceed through. Go up into the next room, and
then into the next. Most of the treasures aren't so good so pick them
up when they're on your way but not if they're in some nook far away
from the path. In the next room go forward and in the room just proceed
down.
In the next room, there will be an abandoned Red Wings airship. The
party doesn't want to use it but Edge does so they can get out of the
freaking tower. He names it the Falcon and everyone gets on.
With your new airship, you can go back to the Dwarf Castle. However,
you can't travel over magma. So head back to the Dwarf Castle and
enter.
DWARF CASTLE:
Just go and talk to King Giott. Everyone will tell him that they
couldn't get the crystal so the only option now is to get the crystal
of the Sealed Cave before Golbez does. Giott tells his daughter Luca to
give them the key to the Sealed Cave. Then he tells them that the cave
is southwest on a different island in the underworld. But you can't
travel over magma... so what should you do?
Go to the left side of the Dwarf Castle and head downstairs into the
room where the hidden passage to the Dwarf Base is. Go into the
hospital (left of the bookcases) and a familiar person will be laying
in bed... its Cid! Talk to him and he says he's okay. After Cecil tells
him the bad news, he immediately gets out of the bed and goes to
upgrade the Falcon, but the Dwarves won't let him go because he's
injured, but he escapes them and they follow.
Watch as Cid and the two dwarves upgrade the airship. After that the
Falcon will be done and Cid will go back to bed to sleep. Exit the
Dwarf Castle and get on the airship.
Head south past the magma until you get to an island. There is a town
between mountains. Land your airship and enter it.
TOMRA:
This is an optional place but you really need to check it out. It's big
and has some of the best equipment for sale in the game. So buy it if
you have enough money and gain some levels around the area so you get
the money to buy the Diamond Equipment. Also buy the Ogre Axe because
it's very good up to this point. Make note of this place later because
you'll need to return here if you're planning on getting the Excalibur
sword.
Now head west of Tomra and a little north. There is a cave surrounded
by mountains. That's the Sealed Cave. Land The Falcon and enter it.
SEALED CAVE:
Just go north and open the door using the Luca Key. Then continue
through the door. In this cave, most closed doors are Trapdoors. You
will know it when you try to go through a door but it won't
automatically open. They'll search and then kill a party member
instantly. They can also summon monsters, so kill them quickly. You
will need to defeat most Trapdoors in order to pass through.
In the room after the entrance room, follow the path down and get the
treasure chest. The door in the cliff is a Trapdoor, defeat it and
enter the room for equipment for Edge. Then exit that room and head
left. There's another Trapdoor here and in order to continue you need
to defeat it. After beating it head into the real door and go to the
next room. In the next room, head left and into the door at the end.
They're all Trapdoors here. Enter the room and go through this small
room. In the next room go down for a chest, otherwise continue up. Then
you will see many doors above you. If you don't feel like fighting or
getting treasures then just pass all these doors all the way to the
left, and then head down. Otherwise note the second, fourth, and fifth
doors because they have treasures. Anyways, after passing the doors go
down and defeat the Trapdoor there, then proceed. In this room just go
left and open the treasure chest near you. In the next room, go right.
If you go left you'll encounter a Trapdoor but you get no treasures for
defeating it. Anyways go right and then head down, avoiding the door
near you. Take the rope down. Once you go down just find the passage
leading down and enter it. In the next room there's a save point. Save
and use a Tent because the next boss is very tough. After saving go
down and follow the path to the next room. This room is very
straightforward so follow the ropes and avoid all the others that lead
to the pits. Once you get to the next room just go up and enter the
room at the top. This is the crystal room so get to the center and grab
the crystal. Then make sure you're ready because a boss fight is coming
up. Exit the crystal room and follow the path down until the ground
starts shaking. Cecil says that a trap has been set and a wall will
close in on the party. You will need to defeat the wall.
=======================================================================
EVILWALL
HP: 19000
Gold: 8000
Exp: 23000
In this fight there's a practical limit. The Evilwall will continuously
move closer to you until it gets very close. Then it will start using a
Crush attack very fast. It will instantly kill a party member with no
defense. Before that the wall will just attack your party members (it's
very fast) doing about 300-400 damage. Make sure you heal with Rosa all
the time because you always want to keep your characters alive for this
battle. Have Kain Jump and Cecil attack. Have Rydia use Lit-3 and if
she doesn't have that have her either summon or use Lit-2. If you've
been to the Land of Summoned Monsters have her summon Leviathan too.
Have Rosa heal and Edge throw his collected Shurikens, but if he has
none then just use his Ninja attack. Do not waste time healing half-
petrified characters. Wait till their whole body is petrified and use
Heal. Once the wall gets close it will start crushing your party
members one-by-one. Do not try to revive them. Just go all-out on the
wall when it gets close. Don't waste turns doing anything else but your
strongest attacks when it gets close. Hopefully you're lucky and you'll
defeat the wall before it has the time to crush your characters.
=======================================================================
After the battle the party will say that it was a weak trap. Now
continue out of the cave. You can't use Exit because there will be
another event in the cave. So hopefully you know the path and don't get
into any Trapdoors. When you're at the place where you opened the door,
you'll hear Golbez's voice calling out for Kain. He will mind control
Kain again. Kain will snatch the crystal from Cecil and run off. Looks
like he betrayed you again... Now that Golbez has all the crystals he
can go to the Moon! Wow... he could've just went over to NASA and asked
them to take him to the Moon.
Once you exit the cave you'll need to head back to the Dwarf Castle. Go
in and talk to Giott. He will say that the only way to the get to the
Moon is to find the Big Whale. The legend of the Big Whale resides in
Mysidia so you'll need to go there. But you can't since there is no way
to get above.
Cid shows up again. He tells you that he can build a drill on the
Falcon that will let you travel above by drilling a hole on the ceiling
of the underworld. Once again you'll see Cid and dwarves working on the
airship. Once it's complete Cid will faint. You will be back in the
infirmary and Cid wakes up. He tells the party to go up there and stop
Golbez. Now go outside and get in the Falcon.
To get to the surface, fly top the top right corner of the underworld
where you see a small hole. Press the action button while you're in the
airship and you'll fly back to the surface. Long time no see!
Just head over to Mysidia and land your airship there. Go inside the
town and the elder will be there and he'll be saying that he's been
waiting for you. Now everyone will go up into the tower and will pray
for the Big Whale to come out. After a while it comes out of the sea.
Now just exit Mysidia and enter the Big Whale.
BIG WHALE:
This airship is huge from the outside! Inside, it isn't that big. But
you can explore the inside. In the middle there is the Crystal of
Flight. Examining it will take you to the Moon's surface. The computer
on the top center will let you pilot the Big Whale either on the
overworld or Moon. The Big Whale is much slower than the other two
airships you have. If you go down from the Flight Crystal you can find
little tubes. Enter them and you will rest, recovering all HP/MP/status
effects, and it's free! If you go down you'll find a Fat Chocobo (so it
was buried with the Big Whale too?) that stores items for you. You
won't need Carrots anymore now that you have a Fat Chocobo in your
ship. Once you're done examining everything just go to the Moon.
Otherwise take flight and explore the overworld once again and do any
side quests you haven't done yet. I recommend you use either the
Enterprise or Falcon for the other side-quests because the Big Whale
can't travel underground and the other two airships have special
features and are much faster!
Anyways just go to the Moon.
THE MOON'S SURFACE:
The Moon is extremely small so you'll be looping around each time you
fly any direction too much. There is also a separate dungeon to explore
that is surrounded by mountains. It is the Bahamut's Cave and is
optional. You may want to visit it later because you can get a very
powerful summon from that place. For now, find the big blue crystal
thing in the middle of the Moon. This is where you'll need to go but
you can't just land right in front of it. The Big Whale can't land on
the craters. Look for a small landing spot on the west part of the Moon
hills and land there. It is near a cave that you need to enter. Get off
the Big Whale and enter the cave.
LUNAR PATH:
If you go right you'll find a chest that has some monsters in it.
Defeat them for the item, then go back left and up. Now go right all
the way and grab the chest, then go left and up and exit.
Just follow the path here to the next cave.
LUNAR PATH:
This is very straightforward and you'll have no trouble here at all.
Just follow the path and exit.
Now you're near the Crystal Palace so to get there you'll need to enter
the cave just below it. NOTE: Before entering it, make sure you're done
with everything in the overworld of the main world for now, because you
won't be able to return to the world and explore it until you go
through a dungeon and face some bosses there.
CRYSTAL PALACE:
Continue up and you'll hear a voice. A Lunarian called FuSoYa will
appear. He will tell Cecil about the Big Whale, built by KluYa,
FuSoYa's brother. It was made to travel to the Earth, or the planet
where Cecil is from (for those of you who are still confused, the Earth
in this game is the place with Baron, Toroia, Fabul, etc.). KluYa
traveled to the Earth and came back to the Moon to destroy the evil
Zemus. Zemus is an evil being controlling Golbez(!) So Golbez isn't
behind all this! Another cliche (FF8 copied this game, I guess). FuSoYa
will then tell you about how KluYa chose his two sons to destroy Zemus
after his failure. One of those sons is actually Cecil! Cecil is amazed
about this and finds out that Zemus is collecting the crystals to
awaken the Giant of Babel. The Giant of Babel will destroy all of Earth
when awakened. Since it was awakened before KluYa built the Big Whale
so he can travel from the Moon to the Earth and destroy it. Cecil also
finds out why the light in Mt. Ordeals was calling for him. FuSoYa then
joins the party and tells them to hurry back to Earth before the Giant
is awakened. FuSoYa has all the black magic and white magic, so he'll
be your best friend for now. You can check the room behind the throne
to see the crystals, but they won't do anything now.
Exit the palace and make your way through the Lunar Paths back to the
Big Whale. Get in and make sure everything is ready for now. Fly
wherever you need to on the moon surface. Once you're done, touch the
crystal to get back to the overworld.
When you get back, something's weird going on... the Giant of Bab-il is
awakened! Watch as it gets out of the tower and starts smashing
everything in its way (looks like a toy figurine). But all of a sudden,
tanks appear and starts shooting the giant! The tanks are piloted by
King Giott and his dwarves. One of them has Yang! He's alive! Then,
airships come to help. Cid pilots the main force. If you think that's
enough retaliation, keep watching. Two more airships pop up. One of
them is Mysidian, and Palom and Porom are alive! The elder cured their
petrification. The other airship has Edward and the Troians. Meanwhile
at the Big Whale FuSoYa says that the core needs to be destroyed inside
the giant or all damage will be repaired. Cecil calls Cid and he takes
them to the giant.
THE GIANT OF BAB-IL:
Once you enter you will not be able to return, so you'll need to go
through this dungeon first.
To get through the dungeon simply follow the path through it.
Save at the save point area then head north through the door. Here,
make sure everything is ready and go forward. The elements appear
again! All four of them right in front of you. They tell you that Zemus
breathed life into them then they attack you.

This battle will NOT be easy. You will fight all 4 elements in the
order shown above. Once you defeat one, another one comes out. And yes,
they are tougher versions of the elements you've fought before. Make
sure you're at least around Level 50 for all characters (except maybe
FuSoYa). Put Cecil and Rosa in the front while everyone else in the
back. You first need to fight Milon Z. His attacks are fast and brutal.
Have FuSoYa cast Fire3 and Edge cast Flame, while Rydia casts Fire3. DO
NOT HAVE THEM ALL CAST IT AT THE SAME TIME. Milon Z has 18000HP, and
all Fire3s do mostly 9999 damage. If you cast them all at the same
time, Milon Z will probably die after FuSoYa and Rydia cast Fire3 and
turn into Rubicant, while Edge uses Flame to heal Rubicant. Ok,
nevermind. Have FuSoYa and Rydia cast Fire3 and that's all. Milon can
do 500 damage on a single character and he's also fast, plus he can
curse your characters. Once you kill him you'll fight Rubicant. He
likes to use Fire3 and Glare at the same time on all characters. This
won't do too much damage though, just make sure Rosa's alive and if
she's dead have FuSoYa heal instead while Edge and Rydia concentrate on
offense. Have Rydia use Ice3 and Edge use Flood. FuSoYa should also use
Ice3. After Rubicant dies you'll fight Cagnazzo. This time he's not
easy, as he has some very damaging attacks and his wave attack does
more. Like always, have Rosa or FuSoYa heal while Edge uses Blitz and
Rydia uses Lit3. Also FuSoYa can use Lit3 if you don't need healing and
are using Rosa. Cecil should use Ethers on characters that are running
out of MP otherwise just attack. After beating Cagnazzo you'll finally
fight Valvalis. She is hard. She can start petrifying your characters
and do Weak, which will reduce your characters' HP to two digits. Have
FuSoYa and Rosa pound on healing especially on characters that are
victims to Weak, and avoid all characters that have started their
petrifying status, because it'll more to get them fully petrified. Use
Lit3 on Valvalis for lots of damage damage on Edge's Blitz. This should
do lots of damage on Valvalis. Just make sure to keep your back row
characters alive.
=======================================================================
After that frustratingly huge battle, the Elements will fully die and
you should go back and save. Once you're done, heal up and head back to
the Lung room where you fought the Elements. Proceed north to the CPU
room. A big orb is in the middle and it's the CPU. You'll need to
defeat it otherwise all damage will be repaired on the Giant of Bab-il.
=======================================================================
CPU:
HP: 21000
Gold: 10000
Exp: 15000
Attacker:
HP: 2000
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
Defender:
HP: 2000
Gold: 360
Exp: 360
It's been long since you've heard this boss music, eh? Unless you took
the side-quests... Anyway this fight can be tricky. The CPU will cast
Wall on itself all the time, meaning you shouldn't use magic on it
otherwise it'll be reflected back to you. As long as the Defender is
present, it will heal the CPU 2000 damage every 10 seconds. The
Attacker will use an attack called Maser that will do around 300 damage
on all your characters. However, do not kill both the Attacker and
Defender. Killing them both gets the CPU in a fury, and it will do an
attack called Globe99, which instantly kills a party member. It will do
it twice or thrice, then revive both the Attacker and Defender and stop
doing the attack. So it seems impossible to kill this guy... actually,
no. You can kill off the Attacker and leave the Defender there, or vice
versa. The CPU only does Globe99 if the others aren't there. I strongly
recommend killing the Defender and leaving the Attacker present because
the Defender will heal the CPU a lot. The Maser attack can be painful,
but is easily cured by either FuSoYa's or Rosa's Cure4 on all
characters. Leave the Attacker alive and ONLY -ATTACK- THE CPU! It
always casts Wall on itself so magic will be reflected back to the
party. Have Rosa Aim and Cecil attack, same with Edge. FuSoYa should
concentrate on healing while Rydia does something like using Ethers on
party members with low MP or something. It's gonna take a long time
killing the CPU since you can only attack, but it's not that hard, just
long. You can also risk doing a Wall on a party member and casting a
very strong spell on that member, reflecting that spell on the CPU.
It's very risky, since it can reflect towards the Attacker instead
making the CPU use Globe99 again. Make sure you have at least 4 party
members alive in this battle. Once again, it isn't too hard, just takes
a long ass time.
=======================================================================
After destroying the CPU, Golbez comes out from the top and tells
everyone that the plan has been foiled. FuSoYa comes to Golbez and
tells him to look at himself and uses a spell so Golbez regains his
memory. Then, Golbez realizes that he was being controlled by Zemus all
this time and that... Cecil is his brother. Remember when FuSoYa told
you that KluYa had two sons? Well, Golbez is the other one and he was
easier to control for Zemus than Cecil. FuSoYa and Golbez disappear
away to go battle Zemus and the Giant starts falling. Kain, who is no
longer under mind control, comes out and helps the party out back to
the Big Whale.
BIG WHALE:
Kain is no longer under mind control and tells Cecil that they need to
go to the Moon's core to destroy Zemus. Cecil tells Rosa and Rydia to
exit the Big Whale because they can't come because they will get hurt.
Rosa and Rydia get mad because they don't want to leave but Cecil,
Edge, and Kain make them. So they exit with a few leftover comments and
Cecil, Edge, and Kain start up the Big Whale to the moon.
Once they get to the moon, Cecil, Edge, and Kain try to exit, but Rosa
and Rydia come out! They were hiding in the escape pod. So finally
Cecil decided to take them both and you now have the ultimate fighting
group, and your last one, too.
Now you need to head to the final dungeon, located at the Crystal
Palace. Land near the first Lunar Path and make sure everything is
ready. Then enter.
LUNAR PATHS (2):
There's nothing new here at all. Just go through them both. For more
info, scroll up to the section when you first get to the Moon and look
at the Lunar Path section.
CENTRAL MOON:
Make your way to the Crystal Palace.
CRYSTAL PALACE:
Head to the center area and go through. Once you're in the next room,
you'll see many crystals. Make your way to the center area and the
crystals will take you the final dungeon - the Lunar Core.
LUNAR CORE:
When you reach the first save point go left through the hidden passage
and onto the portal, when you see the door in front of you enter it.
Here you will see a treasure chest up top which contains a life staff,
to get it you must defeat 2 Warlocks and 2 Karys. After the battle grab
the staff and go to the left and enter the portal. In here go down and
enter the door. You should see a sword in this room, go up to it and
get ready for a boss fight.
=======================================================================
White Dragon:
HP: 32,700
Gold: 0
Exp: 55,000
If you read any strategy guide for FF4 on the net it will tell you to
cast Float on the entire party, and this guide is no different; make
sure you cast float on your party or they will die before you can blink
your eyes due to the devastating attack GaiaRage.
Have Rydia summon, have Edge and Cecil attack, and have Kain Jump. Heal
when needed.
=======================================================================
After the fight you will get a strong item for Edge called the
Murasame, equip it on him immediately. Now go to the entrance of the
Lunar Core.
Now go to the upper right hand corner and enter the hidden passage.
Continue along to find a chest guarded by 2 Redgiants, inside the chest
contains a Ninja Robe for Edge. Now go back around and down into the
next room. Through the hidden passage on the left there is an item for
Rydia called the Firelash. Equip it. On the top left is a Dragon Shield
for Kain. Collect the Dragon Helmet, Armor, and Gauntlet at the bottom
of the room and go through the door in the middle.
In this room grab the 10 Artemis Arrows at the bottom of this room
there is an Elixir. Now go into the right and down into the next room.
In the upper right hand section of this room there is an X-Potion for
the taking, now go to the left and grab another X-Potion.
Now go to the next room, the treasure chest guarded by a Behemoth in
this room contains a Stardust Rod. Now go to the right and into the
next room.
In this room you will see a sword. DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!!! Instead have
everyone equipped with the best items and open the chest on the lower
left hand corner of the room. This fight is insanely tough. Have Rosa
attack with the Artemis arrows and Kain jump. After this insanely hard
battle you will be wonderfully rewarded with a Crystal Shield, equip it
immediately and heal your party.
In this room go to the upper right hand corner of the room of the room
and grab a Protect Ring. In this area go to the right and pick up the
Crystal Armor which is guarded by a Bhemoth. Now go back into the main
room and go up. You will see a treasure chest to the right, this chest
is guarded by 2 Red Dragons, after the fight open the chest and receive
a pair of Crystal Gauntlets.
After the fight go left into the next room, to the left is a White Robe
for Rosa to the right is a Crystal Helmet guarded by a Warlock and a
Dragon Fossil.
Now go to the left and get the Cabin. In the next room grab the Artemis
Arrows and the Fuma Darts.
In the next room search the room for items and move onto the right. Now
go down and enter the first door. You finally reached a save point.
MAKE SURE YOU SAVE. You are about 30-45 minutes away from defeating the
game, so make sure you save, the bosses and enemies don't get easier.
Now go to the right and touch the lance in the middle. A very hard boss
fight will now be triggered.
=======================================================================
Plague:
HP: 33,333
Gold: 550
Exp: 31108
Have Rosa use Fast on Cecil and Edge, have Cecil and Edge attack
normally, have Rydia summon, and have Kain jump. To reset the timer
kill off one of your characters and then revive them.
=======================================================================
After the battle the party you will recieve the HolyLnce, equip it and
return to the save point. Now go to the right and you will see 2
treasure chests, 2 Dragon Lunars will now attack you.
=======================================================================
Lunasaurs:
HP: 23,000(each)
Gold: 0
Exp: 29500
Have Rosa be the healer, and attack with Cecil and Edge, have Kain
jump, and have Rydia summon. Try not to use magic other then summons,
they use some harsh counter attacks that recover 2,000 health +.
=======================================================================
Now return back to the save point, make sure you save your game, and
heal.
Now go forward, you will be in the Moon's Core, pick up a Ninja Dart,
travel along the bottom to fight a tough boss, defeat him and receive
the Masamune.
=======================================================================
Ogopogo:
HP: 50,000
Gold: 0
Exp: 61,000
Be prepared for Bigwave which will easily kill off some of your
characters. Have Edge dart some swords and attack, have Cecil attack,
have Rosa heal and use Holy (thanks to Dingo Jellybean for this tip),
have Kain jump, and have Rydia summon.
=======================================================================
After the tough battle go back to the save point to heal and save your
game. Now continue past the room where you defeated the Ogopogo. At the
bottom of this room there is an Elixer. Keep continuing down, at the
bottom of this room you will find a whistle. Keep continuing onward to
find the next portal.
In the bottom right hand corner of this room you will find a Fuma dart.
To the left of it is another Fuma dart. No go to the bottom right hand
corner and into the next area.
In this area run away from all the enemies, from this area continue to
the next room. Here you will witness a scene where FuSoYa and Golbez
are fending off Zemus by themselves.
(Please take note that this is pretty much a little cutscene.)
=======================================================================
ZEMUS:
HP: 10,000
Gold: 0
Exp: 0
Pretty much the 2 cast some pretty useless magic, then they kill the
thing with White Meteo.
=======================================================================
After some very interesting scenes you will now have to fight the final
boss of the game, good luck!
=======================================================================
ZEROMUS:
HP: 133,333
Gold:
Exp:
Use the Crystal to make Zeromus change forms. If you don't do this you
will miss everytime.
Have Cecil attack, have Rosa cast Holy and Heal, have Rydia summon
Bahamut, have Edge dart the Knife and Holy Lances, and have Kain jump.
Watch out for Big Bang, and make sure to heal! The battle will
eventually end.
This battle isn't that hard at all, it just takes a very very very very
very very very very long time.
=======================================================================

-Regular Items-
---------------
=======================================================================
Potion
Effect: Heals HP
Location: Shops
Use: Anywhere
Will heal a small amount of HP to a party member. Most of these are
found in shops, but they are actually useful only to characters such as
Rydia and Edward, who you find early in the game. They're still useful
to other character early in the game, but you may want to buy Hi-
Potions for them instead.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Hi-Potion
Effect: Heals HP
Location: Shops
Use: Anywhere
This Cure item restores more HP than the Potion but is still not very
useful. By the time you find them in shops most of your characters' HP
will be big, and Hi-Potion will restore less than half of their HP
amount. Still, buy these to use to heal your character MULTIPLE times
outside of battle.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
X-Potion
Effect: Heals HP
Location: Treasure Chests/Stolen/dropped item
Use: Anywhere
These are not sold in shops, but restore more HP than the potions and
Hi-Potions. Still, these should only be sued outside of battle because
they don't restore much HP either. They can't be sold, but YOU can sell
them.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Ether1
Effect: Heals MP
Location: Shops
Use: Anywhere
They cost A LOT of money (1000Gil) and are available practically all
the time in any shop. Once you get Tellah and Rosa stock up on these at
your local shop. They restore about 50MP and are quite useful early in
the game.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Ether2
Effect: Heals MP
Location: Treasure Chests/Stolen/dropped item
Use: Anywhere
Ether2 is much better than Ether1 and restores about 100-120MP to a
character. It is almost useless, no offense. It's only useful in a big
and epic battle, but outside of battle - no. Two Ethers can give you
100MP while Ether2 is like wasting 20 Ethers since it's rare and isn't
sold.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Heal
Effect: Heals any Status Abnormality
Location: Shops
Use: Anywhere
This is pretty useful. It's not only cheap, but heals every single
status effect. Sure, not many enemies cause bad statuses, but you may
get yourself caught in a petrifying countdown. Any status effect is
cured except for faint (swoon).
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Life
Effect: Revives Swoon Character
Location: Shops
Use: Anywhere
What the hell is up with all these crappy, VERY crappy, healing items?
Sure, this revives a character from swoon status (AKA faint) but with
only 10% FRIGGIN' HP! What's worse is using it in battle. Sure, someone
will be revived, but the enemy has a tendency to go after that
character. Save these up only after battle, and don't use them in
battle. Use Life spells in battle instead.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Tent
Effect: Heals whole party at save point or world map
Location: Shops
Use: Save point/world map only
Buy a lot of Tents. Usually, a save point is right behind a boss in a
cave/dungeon/whatever. You can use these to recover your HP/MP at the
save point if you're wounded and can't go on. However, these will not
revive dead character and doesn't fully restore HP/MP. Still, these are
good throughout the first three-fourths of the game.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Cabin
Effect: Heals whole party at save point or world map
Location: Treasure chests/stolen/dropped items
Use: Save Point/world map only
Cabins are better than Tents, but are hard to find. They restore ALL
HP/MP, ALL status effects, AND swoon characters. But ONLY on a save
point, just like a Tent. These are rare, but not really worth wasting
too much of these since you can just revive your characters with Life
and then use a Tent instead of a Cabin.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Elixir
Effect: Heals a character completely HP/MP wise
Location: Shops (rare)/Treasure Chests
Use: Anywhere
This item is very good, and is one of the best items in the game. It
will restore ALL HP/MP to one character. I don't recall any shop that
has this item, but someone told me they sell it in shops. Although
maybe I forgot. This item does not heal any status effects including
death. Use this item only in battles when your characters' stats are
low.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Carrot
Effect: Calls a Fat Chocobo that stores items for you
Location: Chocobo Forest
Use: ?
Okay, first of all, I never bothered to mess with Chocobos in this
game. Except for the time I needed to get to Cave Magnes, I avoided
Chocobo Forests. This item summons a Fat Chocobo where there's a fat
Chocobo to store items for you. Since I never used it I don't know
where. Once you get the Big Whale there's a Fat Chocobo in the south
room that stores items for you, though.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Whistle
Effect: Calls a Fat Chocobo that stores items for you
Location: Lunar Core
Use: Area Maps (not World Maps)
This item calls a Fat Chocobo anywhere but the world map to come and
store items for you. It's different than the Carrot because you can
call it in dungeons and store items you won't need in the dungeon.
Still, the Big Whale Fat Chocobo beats this one.
=======================================================================

-Key Items-
-----------
=======================================================================
Package
Effect: Summons Bombs at Mist
Location: Baron
Use: Mist
The King gives Cecil and Kain this so they will take it to Mist. In
mist it spreads bombs around the village and then Kain disappears and
Rydia joins. For more information on the storyline, check the
WALKTHROUGH section.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
SandRuby
Effect: Cures Rosa
Location: Antlion Cave
Use: Kaipo
After Cecil finds Rosa in Kaipo wounded, he goes with Rydia to Damcyan
and Antlion's Cave to find the SandRuby. They meet Tellah in the cave
leading to Damcyan and then Damcyan gets bombed by the Red Wings.
