Ok, here's the lowdown, the routine drill. You'd be surprised at how ignorant
and  dishonest people  can be: Do not use this document on your website
without our permission.  Do not post it without our name, do not re-edit the
text, do not fold it, do not rip it into shreds, do not bend it, crease it,
or do anything with it other than encasing it in a valued glass display, and
above all, do not distribute this guide for profit!

This guide does not withhold any of the plot, and plot references will/should
be abound. So I'm warning you now. If you don't want us, you, your friends,
this guide, or your mother spoiling this fantastic game for you, don't read
this guide!  You can  bookmark this FAQ and return to it to review some plot
elements once you've finished the game.  Unless you don't have a problem with
FAQs containing a spoiler overload, this FAQ is all you need for the game. It
would be common knowledge that that most FAQs would have spoilers, but then
again, McDonalds lost  millions of dollars to some woman who didn't think the
coffee was hot. It's jaw-dropping, we know.

Surprise!  You never expected  to see a  joint FAQ by  ATadeo and Adrenaline,
did you? Well, did you?! We were, and still are pretty excited about this
guide.  However, school is impeding our full performance.  So you'll have to
excuse a few drunk errors. :) This Final Fantasy IV FAQ seals both our ends
on doing a guide for the entire FFC collection.  It is truly an honor to be
working with such a great author (ATadeo). And so, we now present to you our
full coverage of the ignition that  sparked a revolution of RPG games.  Enjoy
our Final Fantasy IV guide! That's a command, you know.

~AdrenalineSL

Hello everyone!  As you may have already known, this would be  the first time
I'll be teaming up with anyone in doing a guide for a particular game. And I
must say that I am very honored and very lucky to have her as my partner in
this guide. I've never known such a nice and sweet person before. Apart from
that, she definitely has talent in guide writing. Not only does she make the
guide complete, she sees to it that every reader will understand what she
wants to relay through her guides. Now, that's an excellent writer. Now, onto
our Final Fantasy IV guide!

So what the heck is the deal with this Final Fantasy hardtype. What's so hard
about it? Well, frankly speaking, it isn't hard at all. What they are trying
to say is that they've modernized it a bit to fit the more recent Final
Fantasy battle systems--the renowned ATB system! That's right, folks, the ATB
battle system. _However_, it's not in the sense of harnessing the ATB bar.
Basically, the enemies will act on their own and attack your party whether
you're ready or not.  While it's still leashed to the turn-based type system,
it does have that sense of active battle in it.  The enemies exchange attacks
each time _one of your character acts_. Get it? Not as challenging as it
seems, but it sure as hell isn't too easy either.

Other than insane, hard-hitting  enemies, we are  treated to cleverly veiled
secrets, intense dungeon navigation, more skills, items and extra goodies we
never did fully relish in the original US release.

Did we ever get Final Fantasy IV? I don't remember seeing it! In fact, we did
except we were endowed with the easy type, and it was announced as Final
Fantasy II. For many of you who have played Final Fantasy IX, you'll find
that it harks many of the aspects from its great ancestor. Final Fantasy IV--
the phenomenon that started the whole Final Fantasy biz. You'll learn to
appreciate a true, quality RPG, my PSX-owning friends!  So, let's get you
through the mud and kick off!

Version 1.1  (December 8, 2001)
--------------------------------

The second update's here! And the best one yet. Adrenaline here, bringing you
more of the guide with some contributions from readers...AND...
                - Item List added and completed
                - Shop List added and completed
                - ASCII art added at the top! ^___^
                - Revamped the look of the guide...just a little
                - Added some FAQs ;)

What you see is what you get.  We still need the Game Basics part done, which
is why you don't see a Roman numerical "I." anywhere. That'll come hopefully,
soon.


Version 1.0  (November 17, 2001)
---------------------------------

Hey, now! Let's celebrate!  The first public release of our Final Fantasy IV
guide for the Playstation! Yay! In this first release, we've got pretty much
everything wrapped around our pinkies. Let's see what we've got done.
                - Walkthrough completed
                - Equipment lists completed
                - Bestiary completed
                - Magic List completed
                - Just about everything you see here is completed.

What's to come?  Lotsa stuff. An item list is currently pending, as well as
the Game Basics.  We also may give the guide a little face lift for better
presentation. We'll be making a lotta updates as we go through with the
versions until Final.  Aaron is currently preoccupied with other things, so
we'll close it off now. Enjoy the first version!

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   AIRSHIP
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

In the beginning, you'll  see Cecil and  the  Red Wings talk about  something
that they did.  Cecil will  then have a flashback as to what happened back at
Mysidia. They  feel  guilty but  they can't do anything  since it's an order
from the King of Baron.  After that, the airship  will be  attacked by 2 sets
of monsters but Cecil  will  be able to defeat  them with ease.  After  those
battles, the airship will arrive at Castle Baron.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    BARON
\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Inside, you'll meet up  with Baigan who  will lead  you to the King.  After a
short dialogue, Cecil will  come  in the throne room and  will hand over  the
crystal to the King.  Cecil will make a  fuss about what they were ordered to
do, but instead of explaining, the  King punishes  Cecil by letting him do an
errand plus he will be relieved of his position as the leader of the Red
Wings.  Kain will  then come in and beg  the King  to reconsider, but  he too
will be ordered to join Cecil  in the errand.  The two are  ordered to defeat
the beast at the Valley of Mist and deliver the Bomb Ring to Village Mist.

After the brief dialogue, you'll be just outside the throne room.  Then after
a short talk with Kain, you'll be  able to control Cecil for the first time.
Make your way to 1F. The two stairs on  either side lead to a White Magic Lab
and a Black Magic Lab.  There's a guard stationed on the lower right of the
room, and above him is a switch.  Flip the switch to gain access to 3 chests.
Now, head all the  way to the left  and use the stairs.  Then, keep on moving
left (use the stairs that you'll reach) until you meet up with Rosa.

After that short talk, go south through the door.  Outside, go north and meet
up with Cid.  After another talk, continue heading straight to the north to
the door that is on  the tall tower.  Go up to  the second  floor and talk to
the maid.  She'll tell you  that your  sheets are  ready.  Go up  to the next
floor and use the bed. Cecil will try to take a rest.  During the night, Rosa
will come in and she will talk to Cecil again about what is happening and
about the errand they were told to do.  The next morning you'll automatically
meet up with Kain and you'll both leave the castle. You'll then see the
prologue of the game.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    WORLD MAP
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

After the prologue, you'll be on the world map for the first time.  This will
also be your first chance of saving the game.  Open up the menu and then save
your game. Your first instinct would be to go to the Village of Mist as
directed by the king.  After saving, head all the way to the west through the
mountain ranges and you'll see a cave. Go inside.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\   MIST CAVE   \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\   Items to find: Potions x2     Enemies: Larva                            \
\                  Tent                    SandMoth                         \
\                  Eyedrops                MistaDragon (Boss)               \
\   Recommended Party Level: 10                                             \
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

As you enter, you'll  notice  that the place  is full of  mist so, take  care
while navigating through  the cave.  On the first area, move on through the
ladders until someone tells you to go back.  After that, get the chest to the
north for a Potion.  Now, cross the bridge on the right.  Right after that
bridge, go up the ladder to the north and get the Eyedrops from the chest.
Continue to the south of the bridge. Then, get 2 chests on the way for a
Tent and a  Potion.  Continue towards  the northeast exit.  On the way, Cecil
and Kain will hear the mysterious voice once more.  This time, tell  him that
you refuse to go back.  You'll then have  your first boss battle in the game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: MIST DRAGON
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    450
EXP:   350
GIL:   200
Items: none
Attacks: Cold Mist, Form Change

Since this is the first boss, it will be very very easy. The Mist Dragon has
2 forms. First is the Dragon form and the second one is the Mist Form. In
Dragon Form, it will do petty physical attacks. Use Kain's Jump and let Cecil
do normal physical attacks. After a while, it will turn into Mist Form. This
time, do not attack it in any way. Just wait until it reverts back to dragon
form before you attack.  If you did attack it in Mist Form, it will retaliate
with the Cold Mist that will do more damage to both Cecil and Kain.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After beating the Mist Dragon, head on towards the exit to the north.  You'll
now be back at the world map. Now, head east towards the Village Mist.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   VILLAGE MIST
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Upon entering, Kain and  Cecil will be  shocked as to  what the  Bomb Ring is
for. It will turn into a couple of Bombs and then it will destroy the entire
village.  After this turn of events, Cecil  and Kain will  hear someone.  She
will tell you that her mom dies  because her  dragon was killed.  It was the
dragon, which Kain and Cecil  killed back  at the cave.  Kain and Cecil  will
have a talk about the  situation then they will  try to ask  the girl to come
with them since it isn't safe.  She will hesitate and you'll engage in a
battle.  During  the fight, the girl will  summon someone (most probably it's
Titan) then it will  use a powerful attack  at you.  The battle will  end and
you'll see the Village get  totally destroyed.  After that, you'll  see Cecil
and the girl. After realizing that Kain isn't with them, you'll be
automatically brought back to the World Map.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    WORLD MAP
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

From your current position, head north a bit and you'll reach the desert. Go
to the center of the desert and enter the Town of Kaipo.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    KAIPO
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Item/s: Ether1

Upon entering the town, Cecil will bring the girl to the Inn. The Innkeeper
will let you stay for free. After letting the girl rest, Cecil will take a
nap. Then, during the night, a general and his soldiers will come in and will
try to kill the girl by the king's order. But Cecil won't allow it and you'll
have to fight them. All you have to do is to use Dark at most twice until all
the soldiers vanish. The General will retreat. After that, the girl will
thank you and will tell you her name, Rydia. The next morning, you're free to
roam around. Talk to people and buy some items. Also, don't forget equipments
for Rydia. If you're short on Gil, go out and defeat a couple of monsters to
cover the cost. But before leaving, get an Ether1 from one of the jars just
above the Weapon Shop. After getting the item, go inside the northeast hut
and you'll see Rosa. Talk to her then talk to the old man. He'll tell you
that you'll need a Ruby that can be found in the Antlion's Cave. Now, leave
Kaipo. Note: In the armor shop, you'll meet up with Namingway. He will offer
to change your names for free. Now, head north and you'll see a cave. Enter
it.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

WATER CAVERN-SOUTH
********************

Upon entering, go north and get 2 chests for a Potion and a MaidKiss. Now, go
back down then head left. Cross the bridge and get the Tent from the chest.
Now, talk to the old man. He'll ask for your assistance about something since
he recognizes that Cecil is a Dark Knight. He'll tell you that he is on his
way to Damcyan. He will also reveal himself as Tellah. There's a monster at
the lake ahead and Tellah can't handle it alone. Together, you might be able
to defeat it. Tellah will now join the party. After that, go north a bit and
get a Bomb from the chest. Now, go through the doorway at the upper left
corner. You'll now be in B2F.

Here, continue on and go into the water. Just as you enter the water, go left
and get a chest here for a Potion. Go back into the water then go south and
climb up the ladder. You'll encounter another chest on the way. It contains
an Ether1. Continue on until you reach a room. Tellah will tell you that you
should rest for a while before the upcoming battle. During the night, Tellah
and Cecil will talk more about each other and their business at Damcyan.
After that, they will take a rest. The next morning, save your game then exit
to the north. Outside, move on and get the IceRod from the chest. Go south
into the water again and then enter the door that you'll see at the top of
the screen.

You'll now be at B3F. At the bridge intersection, go right and get the chests
for 580 Gil and a Bomb. Go back to the intersection then head left. Move on
and enter the door at the end. You'll be at another part of B2F. Here, just
head north, get another Potion from a chest, then exit at the doorway.

WATER CAVERN-NORTH
********************

Here, go north. When you are just about to cross the bridge towards the
right, go left first and get 2 chests for an Ether1 and a Notus. Now, cross
the bridge to the right. Before entering the doorway, go south and get the
HrGlass1 and the Dark. Now, go through that doorway. Tellah will tell you
that this leads outside and that you must use a Tent if you need it. Outside,
use a Tent and then save your game. When you're ready, go inside the other
cave opening to the north.

WATERFALL
***********

Upon entering, go south and you'll go down the waterfall. Below, just follow
the path and get the 2 chests to the south for the Hades Helmet and the Hades
Gloves. Now, move on until you reach the lake. There, cross the bridge to the
right and get 2 more chests for the Hermes and the Hades Armor.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: OCTOMAMM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    1,000
EXP:   400
GIL:   500
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks

This battle isn't as hard as you think. First, notice the tentacles of the
enemy. Once you inflict around 150-200 damage, they will disappear one at a
time. When you defeat the final tentacle (which, by far, has the highest HP),
you'll win the battle. To defeat it very easily, use Cecil's normal attack.
But make sure you equipped the Dark Sword. Then, Tellah and Rydia should use
their strong Bolt Magic. Continue this pattern and you'll definitely win.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that easy battle, go north through the waterfall. You'll now be back at
the world map. Save your game at once. From your current position, head north
to Damcyan Castle. But before you enter, you'll see another shocking event.
Some airships will bomb the castle. After seeing that, go inside the castle.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    DAMCYAN CASTLE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Item/s: Tent

Inside the castle, make your way up. On the way, you'll encounter a floor
with lots of chest. You only get one of them. You'll get a Tent. Move on
until Tellah sees Anna. Then suddenly, Tellah sees the Bard. He'll attack him
with no remorse. After that, Anna will tell Tellah to stop. She'll tell him
that she loves Prince Edward (the Bard). Then, they'll talk about the attack
of a certain Golbez from Baron, whom Cecil didn't know of. Then, Anna will
die unfortunately. Tellah will be sooo mad. =) He'll leave the party for a
while. Then, Edward will also mourn about Anna. Rydia and Cecil will tell him
to accept what happened. Then, Cecil will ask him about the Ruby that he
needs in order to help Rosa. Edward will tell you that you'll need a
hovercraft to go to the Antlion's cave to the east. He'll then join your
party and you'll be brought back to the world map.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    WORLD MAP

Now, you'll be on a hovercraft that can go over shallow waters (waters with
some rocks). To disembark/ride the hovercraft, just press the X button. From
Damcyan, head east through the shallow waters to the Antlion's cave. Save
your game outside first before entering. If you need items, just head back to
Kaipo by using the shallow waters to the west of Damcyan. Move on to the
Antlion's cave.

In the first floor, you'll be able to get a lot of treasures. They're
scattered all over the place. After getting them, use the path on the right
side to reach the door at the bottom. Go in. On the next floor, move on south
and get a chest with a Notus. Then, enter the room just to the left of this
chest to get Edward's Lamia. Now, leave this room then go left and head up.
You'll see another doorway here. Go inside this one and keep on moving until
you reach another room. This time, you can save your game. Get the chests in
here also for Life, Ether1, and Exit. Now, after saving, return back to the
main room where you entered here in the first place.

Get the chest which is just above that doorway that leads to the save point
for an HrGlass1. Move left and get another chest here for a Silk Web. Now, go
all the way to the south and through the doorway. You'll finally reach the
Antlion's Nest. Prepare first, then go south to meet the Antlion. Edward will
try to take the Sand Ruby but the Antlion will attack. The battle begins.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: ANTLION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    ?
EXP:   500
GIL:   800
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks, Counter

The Antlion is pretty easy but you must have a Cure Spell or a Potion ready
at anytime. First, let's discuss how the Antlion attacks and moves. It does
only Normal Physical attacks so magic isn't to be worried of. Now, when you
attack the Antlion, by any means whether physical or magical, it will Counter
attack with a much powerful physical attack. Therefore, use the most powerful
attacks only. Use Cecil's physical attack and Rydia's Chocobo Summon. Then,
let Edward do the healing. If your HPs have gone too low, let Rydia help with
the healing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, you'll receive the Sand Ruby. You can now save Rosa. So,
head all the way back outside to the world map. Use the Hovercraft and head
all the way back to Kaipo.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    KAIPO
\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Now, head to Rosa and use the Sand Ruby on her. She'll recover from her
illness. She'll tell you that Golbez is the new leader of the Red Wings and
they are in pursuit of the Crystals around the world. Everyone will agree to
go to Fabul, the most-likely destination of Golbez, since 2 crystals are
already in the King's hands. Everyone will then have a rest.

During the night, you'll see Edward play his harp. But then, he'll be
attacked by a Waterhag. You'll then have to fight. During the course of the
battle, Anna will appear before Edward. She'll encourage you to fight. After
she disappears, take care of the enemy. After winning, Edward will gain a lot
of EXPs for the battle. Often enough to gain a level up. The next morning,
all's set for the journey to Fabul. Buy some items in the shop at the inn
then leave Kaipo.

From Kaipo, go all the way back to the island where the Antlion's Cave is.
From there, go north the east and you'll see some sort of a Mountain Pass.
Disembark the Hovercraft and enter.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Here, you'll see the Ice Blockade that prevents you from passing through.
Rydia will hesitate first since she is traumatized by what happened to her
village. But then, Cecil and the gang will encourage her to do it since she
is the only one who can. She then casts Fire on the blockade and will learn
Fire1. After that, go north and you'll see 2 doors. Use the left door first.

In this area, you'll see a Save Point. But get the chests on the right side
first for the following: 960 Gil, Soft, Potion, and a Tent. After saving your
game, head back to the first area.

This time, enter the door on the right. Keep on moving through the summit
until the party sees something happening on top. Edward will know that the
man is a monk from Fabul. After he defeats the small enemies, he'll fight
with the Bomb. The party will then decide to help. Defeat the Mother (Mom)
Bomb by using your most powerful techniques. It will explode and will turn
into 6 small bombs. After disposing them, the monk will introduce himself as
Yang, a monk from Fabul. He'll tell you of the beasts that killed his men
then Cecil and the party will offer to help him. Yang will accept and will
now join your party. When you regain control, exit through the north door.
You'll now be at Mt. Hobs East. Just move along towards the south until you
reach the other end of the mountain at the world map. From Mt. Hobs, travel
east then head southeast when you see a mountain range. Enter Fabul.


\\\\\\\\\\\
   FABUL
\\\\\\\\\\\

Item/s: Bomb, Notus, Potion, Tent, Hermes, Silk Web, Ether1
Equipment/s: Demon Shield

Upon entering, the monks will tell you that the kings requires your presence.
Move on inside the castle until the 1st floor. You can check out the Inn and
Item shop on the left and the Weapon and Armor shop on the right side. After
that, head up to the next floor. Here, you can go south first and do a little
exploring. At the west tower, get the Bomb, Notus, and Potion from the chests
that you'll encounter. Also, don't forget to talk to Yang's wife at the top.
You'll also see Namingway here. At the east Tower, you'll find the bar and a
Tent from a chest at the top. After exploring, go inside and meet with the
King. The king will then meet up with the party, but he'll have suspicions on
everyone. But then, he'll recognize Prince Edward and he will order the
fortification of the castle. Cecil, Yang, and Edward will guard at the main
gate, while Rosa and Rydia will help the Medics to cure the injured. At the
main gate, you'll have to fight soldiers and captains.

After that, you'll  fight numerous battle  until  you retreat  to the Crystal
Room.  Finally, someone familiar will come in.  It's Kain. Cecil will ask him
if he will fight with them. Suddenly, Kain turned his back and challenges
Cecil into a one-on-one battle. There's nothing you can do here since Kain is
much stronger. After being annihilated, Kain will begin to try and kill
Cecil. Then, Rosa and Rydia will come in. Somehow, Kain will be baffled a
bit. Suddenly, Golbez finally shows up. He'll capture Rosa and orders Kain to
retrieve the crystal. After that, Rydia will Cure everyone. The party will be
so depressed. Edward, Rydia, and Yang will encourage Cecil to save Rosa.
After that, you'll be able to  control the party once more.  Head back to the
throne room. Here, examine the jar on the left side for a Hermes.  Then, step
on the round switch at the right side to reveal the door. Follow an invisible
path (which is rather easy to) and get the chests there for a Silk Web, Demon
Shield, and Ether1. After that, go to the East Tower outside and go to the
top where the King takes a rest.  He'll tell you to head for the Inn.  At the
inn, the party will plan on how to rescue Rosa. First, they'll need an
airship but they'd have to sneak into Baron to get one.  Yang will then offer
to ask the king to  arrange for a ship since the sea is the best way to sneak
in. After that, the party will talk to the King. He will tell Yang to
accompany you with the rescue. He will also give Cecil the Death Sword that a
Dark Knight once wielded. After that, the King will tell you that a ship will
be arranged immediately. When you regain control of your party, make
preparations by buying all the items you'll need, then leave the castle.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    WORLD MAP
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Outside, head  east  and board  the ship.  Yang's wife  will be  there to say
goodbye. After that, the party will be welcomed by the captain of the ship.
Then, the ship will sail. You'll see some scenes on the way, but suddenly,
something will appear in front of the ship. It's Leviatan. The party can't do
anything now and the ship will go into the whirlpool. After that incident,
Cecil will be washed away from the whirlpool. You'll be back in the world map
alone. From your initial position, head east and enter Mysidia.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   MYSIDIA
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Remember, this is the first place where Cecil forcefully got the crystal for
Baron. If you talk to the Black Mage near the entrance, he'll turn you into a
Toad. After that, you can buy some equipments and items if you'd like, then
head to the large house to the north. Talk to the elder here. He'll ask you
what you are doing here. Cecil will tell him all about what happened and will
apologize for what had happened. The elder will then tell you to head first
to Mt. Ordeals to denounce the Dark Sword and become a Paladin, Holy Knight.
He will ask 2 of his mages to accompany you. Palom and Porom. Both are
students but they can help since the Elder trusts them. After the
introductions of Palom and Porom, you'll be able to control the party once
more. Now, leave Mysidia. At the world map, journey east. It's a long way,
but when you see a huge lump of forest, Mt. Ordeals is  just in the center of
that forest. Go in.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


Here, move on and you'll see Fire  blocking the way.  Palom  will use his Ice
Magic to put it out. After that, you'll see a scene back at Baron. You'll see
Rosa, Kain, and Golbez. Golbez will summon Milon of Earth to dispose of Cecil
at Mt. Ordeals. After that, Milon will leave for Mt. Ordeals.  Kain will then
ask Golbez to give him another chance at slaying Cecil.  It will be rejected.
Back at Mt. Ordeals, you'll be able to control Cecil once more. Head up the
mountain and get the chests on the way for 2 Potions. Enter the door at the
top. At the next area, move up and  you'll  meet up with an old friend.  It's
Tellah. He'll tell you that he seeks Meteo in order to beat Golbez. Cecil
will tell him that he ventures here in order to become a Paladin. After the
talk, Tellah will once again join the party.  Now, move on to the next level.

From here, head all the way to the left and get the chest there for a Potion.
Then, continue moving and get another chest on top for an Ether1. Go on to
the next level. At the summit, Porom will hear noises and blames Palom for
it. But he didn't do it. Now, head right and use the save point here. I
suggest that you use a Tent right now. After that, move on and you'll finally
confront Milon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: MILON
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    2,000
EXP:   850
GIL:   2,400
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks, Bolt1

Milon will be aided by his undead creatures. First, I suggest that you
dispose of his aides. Use Fire magic against them. Be careful not to include
Milon since he is impervious to Fire. As for Cecil, let him attack Milon
alone. His sword is not effective against the undead. After defeating the
undead creatures, pummel Milon with Tellah's Bolt1 and Palom's Bolt2. Porom
should be the healer so let her use Cure2 on the entire party if needed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, I suggest that you save your game back at the save point
and use a Tent. After preparing, head to the bridge again. It seems Milon
isn't defeated yet. You'll now have to fight his true form.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: MILON ZOMBIE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    4,500
EXP:   900
GIL:   2,500
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks, Bolt1, Poison

Although Milon is much stronger and has a higher HP, he is rather an average
boss. Use Cecil's Normal attack, Tellah's Bolt1, and Palom's Bolt2. Let Porom
cast Cure2 on everyone to prevent them from being KO'd. Your main attack
would be Palom so keep him alive and give him enough MP so that he can cast
those Bolts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After finally putting an end to the existence of Milon, you're free to move
on. Head left and examine the tombstone. Cecil will hear someone who calls
him son. Then, Cecil will change form. But then, he has to defeat his
darkness in order to atone for his wrong doing. You'll have to battle once
more.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: DARK KNIGHT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    Unknown
EXP:   0
GIL:   0
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks, Dark

During the battle, you'll hear someone. It'll tell you that a Paladin
sheathes his sword. So, right after the battle begins, choose Cover and
parry. Do not attack the Dark Knight. If your HP goes below 300, use Cure
magic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, the light will finally shine upon Cecil. He is know a true
Paladin. Then, Tellah will remember all his spells (I was really wondering
why a Sage had fewer spells than a student like Palom and Porom), plus Meteo
will unlocked. After that, everyone will leave. Now, head back to the save
point and save your game. Leave Mt. Ordeals. Head all the way back to
Mysidia.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    MYSIDIA
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Here, the people will be amazed to see that you've managed to become a
paladin. Now, buy those Paladin Armors at the shop. After that, head to the
elder's house. Talk to him and he'll reveal that he sent Palom and Porom to
spy on you. After that, the elder will tell you that the inscription on the
sword bears tale of an old legend of Mysidia. It will be shown to you. After
that, Tellah will talk to the Elder. Then, it's off to Baron. Palom and Porom
will accompany you once more, but now as friends. When you regain control of
the party, head to the house to the southeast of the elder's house. It's the
Devil's Road. You'll then find yourselves at Baron.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    BARON
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Item/s: Potion x3, HrGlass1, Tent

Here, wander around first and talk to the people. They will tell you
something about what's happening. Then, let's find some items. Search the
jar, which is beside the house that is just above the inn for a Potion.
Another Potion is also inside a jar beside the Inn by the door. Then, go
north and you'll see the dancing girl. Go left from there and into the
waterway. Continue until you reach a lake. Search around for an HrGlass1 and
a Tent. Now, let's move on. Go to the in and into the bar. Talk to Yang.
He'll be different. You'll have to beat him and some of his men. After that,
Yang will regain his old self. He will then rejoin the party. Now, you'll be
heading for the inn. There, the party will talk about how to get inside the
castle. Fortunately, the Baron Key will be with Yang since he was put in
command of the guards. After receiving it, you'll regain control of the
party. Head out to the town and unlock the west building using the Baron Key.
Go inside and you'll find yourselves at the Waterway.

Here, move  on to  the south  and get 3 chests  for a  Hi Potion, Ether1, and
ThorRage. Now, follow the path until you reach the next area. Here, you'll
have to go into the water. Go right through the wall (there's a path there)
and move on. Get the Hermes item from the chest on the small inlet. Then,
search around for an HrGlass1 among the chests. Now, go to the upper right
area where you will see the exit. Go through to the next level.  Here, you'll
find another chest to the left. The path to it is just beside the exit. After
getting the Ether1, go through the doorway to the north. In the next area,
you'll see a door on the left side. Enter it and save your game. Don't forget
to use a Tent. After saving, exit the room and head for the upper right exit.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


You'll now be at the outskirts of the castle. To enter it, use the opening at
the lower left corner of the castle wall. First, you can take a rest at
Cecil's room on the left tower. Now, head for the throne room. On the way,
you'll meet up with Baigan. Strangely enough, he will join you. But then,
Palom and Porom will sense something. Baigan is a monster! Now you'll have to
pulverize this imposter.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: BAIGAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    5,000 (Left and Right arms: 500 each)
EXP:   972
GIL:   3,000
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks, Wall, Re-Form, Entangle, Haste, Detonate

Every once in a while, a tough boss comes along. Baigan is one of them. Here,
he has 2 separate arms, which can be killed easily by Level 2 magic. But make
sure that you don't use Elemental Magic against Baigan's Body since he is
nearly impervious to them. Plus, he can cast wall which will reflect all
magic attacks back at your party. The main attack should be Bio. Tellah and
Palom can do these attacks. Make sure that he isn't under the Wall spell so
that it will count. It will deal hundreds of damage to him. As for Cecil and
Yang, physical attacks would do. And for Porom, let her heal the party. Do
not concentrate on attacking the arm too since he can restore them back once
they're destroyed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that tough battle, I suggest that you head back to Cecil's room and
rest since another battle will come. When you're ready, head for the throne
room. Talk to the king, but instead, he'll introduce himself as Cagnazzo the
Devil of Water.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: CAGNAZZO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    5,500
EXP:   1,100
GIL:   4,000
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks, Haste, Wave

He seems to be very hard, yet he is so easy. Use Palom's Bolt2 magic. It will
do 1000+ damage. But then, you can easily kill him using Tellah's Bolt3 will
deal a tremendously huge 3,000HP damage! Bolt magic will also negate the
tsunami attack and remove his barrier. Most probably, you'll have to heal
only once.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that easy battle, Cid will be freed. He'll introduce himself as well as
the new members of the party. After that, Cid will ask you to follow him
towards his new airship. But then, on the next room, Cagnazzo will shrink the
room. The walls will crush everyone. But a sad thing will happen. Since the
walls keeps on pushing in, Palom and Porom will sacrifice themselves and will
willfully turn their bodies into stones to prevent the walls from crushing
them. Everyone will be depressed but thankful for the both of them. They
promised to get revenge for the 2. Now, Cid will then show you the new
airship. It will fly at once, but suddenly, another airship will come and to
everyone's surprise, it's Kain. He will tell Cecil of the trade of the Earth
Crystal at Troia and Rosa's life. Cecil can't anything other than to head to
Troia. From the world map, head north west until you see the castle. It is
surrounded by a thick forest and a huge mountain with a waterfall on the west
side. You should be able to land on the small space beside the castle. Go
inside the castle.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   TROIA CASTLE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Equipment/s: Twin Harp

Inside, head on towards the 8 Clerics who govern Troia. They'll tell you that
a Dark Elf stole their crystal and is now residing at the northeast cavern.
They will also let you borrow the crystal if you were able to reclaim it.
After that, head on to the first floor.  Use the  left door here and continue
until you see the clinic of some sort.  You'll finally meet with Edward. He's
rather frail so he needs a lot of rest. He will also give you the TwinHarp.
After that, leave the castle. You can go to the town first and buy some
equipments (especially for Cid) and items.  Pack a lot  of Potions  and Tents
for the future. Head out for the world map.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    WORLD MAP
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Using the Airship, it would be impossible to land on the island where the
cavern is. Your only hope is a chocobo that can fly and can land on forests.
From Troia, head all the way to the north until you see a small patch of
forest. Go to it and you'll be able to enter the Chocobo Village.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   CHOCOBO VILLAGE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

In here, you'll see various  chocobos running around.  To be  able to acquire
one, which you can ride on, you  have to quickly follow them and examine them
using the X button.  Choose the black chocobos  here since they  are the only
ones which can fly/land on forests.  After acquiring a Black chocobo, head to
the northeast island where the Elf's cavern is located. Disembark from the
chocobo and  enter the cavern.  Don't worry  about  the chocobo, it won't run

At the beginning, a magnetic field will emerge and equipping metallic objects
will slow your party down.  It won't affect your movement but your characters
won't be able to attack during battles. Now, head right and get the Hi Potion
from the chest. After that, move along to the south and continue until you
reach another chest for a Unihorn. Continue to the next area. Here, get the
Ether1 from the chest on the left side.  On the upper right hand side, you'll
be able to  see a door.  Enter it and get 2000 Gil and an Ether1.  Now, leave
this room and head left. Move on to the next area.

In here, you'll see another door.  Enter it and  you'll be  able to save your
game at last! After saving, leave the room.  Go south and enter another room.
Get the HrGlass1, Silk Web, and Hi Potion from the chest. Leave the room.
Move on and on the way, get the Fairy Claw for Yang. Continue to the next
area.  Here, move north and you'll find another door.  It's the Crystal Room.
But first, go around to the left and get the Exit from the chest. Luckily,
there's another room to the right where you can save your game! I insist that
you use a Tent too. Now, head for the Crystal Room. Talk to the dark elf.
You'll have to beat him in order to get the crystal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: DARK ELF
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    3,500 (Dragon form: 4,000)
EXP:   1,500
GIL:   5,000
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks, Whisper, Bolt2, Fire2, Ice2
Dragon Form: Dragon Breath

At first, you'll be no match for the Dark Elf since you cannot use Cecil's
sword and the armor's defenses are way too low. Just let the Dark Elf beat
you and don't use any Magic attacks yet. Then, Edward will try to help the
party by playing the harp. It did! The Dark elf can't control the field
anymore and you can now use metallic equipments. Once you regain control of
the party, re-equip their most powerful weapons and armors. When ready,
attack the Dark Elf.

The Dark Elf's magic attacks won't do much damage right now so pummel him!
Use physical attacks for Cecil and Yang. Then, let Tellah heal the party.
After doing around 3,500 of damage, he'll turn into a dragon! This form is
ultra tough! First, remember to change rows if you put Cecil behind. This
will double his damage and will now do 1000 HP damage. Tellah should
concentrate with healing. Cid should help Tellah by using items. As for Yang,
physical attacks will do.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that battle, get the Earth Crystal. Now leave the room and use an Exit.
At the world map, ride on the Black Chocobo again.  It will bring you back to
the Chocobo Village. Leave then head to Castle Troia.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   TROIA CASTLE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Item/s: Bacchus, HiPotion x4, Remedy x2, Ether1 x4, Ether2 x2, Ag Apple, Echo
Note x2, Ice Arrows x2, Bolt Arrows, Fire  Arrows x2, Great Bow, Elixir, Tent
x2
Equipment/s: Ruby Ring x2

Show the crystal to the clerics. They will amazed as you got it from the elf.
Then, Kain's voice will be heard. He'll order Cecil to board the ship and
he'll lead Cecil to Rosa. Talk to the Clerics first and one of them will tell
you that you're free to get the treasures at the basement. So, go to the 1st
floor and use the door on the right. Move on until the basement. You'll see 3
ladders. First, enter the center ladder. Get the Bacchus. Now, go down the
left ladder among the 3. Talk to the woman and tell her that you are given
permission. Go around the wall and into the other ladder. Below, you'll see a
haven of treasure chests. Now get the following (from the lower left chest,
counter-clockwise): HiPotion1, Remedy, Ether1, Ether2, Ag Apple, Echo Note,
Ice Arrows x2, Bolt Arrows, Fire Arrows x2, Great Bow, Echo Note, Elixir,
Ether2, Ether1, Remedy, HiPotion.  After  that treasure gathering, go back to
the 3 ladders and go down the right one. Here, step on the switch. The
leftmost door will open.  Get 2 Tents.  Then get 2 HiPotions, 2 Ether1, and 2
Ruby Rings. After all of that, leave Troia Castle.

Now, board your airship.  Kain tells Cecil  that Rosa is in the tower of Zot.
You'll then follow Kain's ship.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


Here, you'll hear the voice of Golbez.  He'll tell you that you have to go to
him at the top of the tower in order to save Rosa and trade for the crystal.
In the first floor, the door is on the upper right corner. Beware of the
enemies here. They're strong, yet they can be defeated by certain elements.
Here on the second floor, the exit is on the left side. At the 3rd floor, the
exit is just above the door where you entered from. All you have to do in
order to reach it is to go around to the right. At the fourth floor, it would
be rather difficult. There are a couple of doors here. 3 on the top and one
to the right. The leftmost among the 3 on top will lead you to a stone, which
when you examine it, you'll receive a flame. Go back to the 4th floor and use
the right door at the bottom side. At the 5th floor, go south and enter the
door that you'll see. Finally, it's a save point.  Use a tent then save, then
leave the room. He left and try to enter the other door. Suddenly, 3 girls
aptly names  Magus sisters, will appear before you.  They will  tell you that
they are servants of the Devil of the Wind, Valvalis.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: SANDY, CINDY, MINDY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    Sandy: 3,100 Cindy: 4,000 Mindy: 3,200
EXP:   3,125
GIL:   15,000
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks, Wall, Delta Attack, Charm, Slow, Berserk, Blot2,
Fire2, Ice2

These 3 will be very difficult if you don't know what to do. First, notice
that Cindy (the one in the center) will cast reflect on herself then the
other 2 will cast attack magic on her that will be reflected to your party.
Therefore, use Cecil and Yang to pummel her with physical attacks. It's
important to finish her off first since she can revive Sandy or Mindy when
they get KO'd. After finally beating Cindy, be more careful since Sandy/Mindy
will do their special attacks at you. Use every strong attack in your
arsenal. Beat Sandy first since she's more dangerous. Then, pick on the
little girl. =)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that tough battle, go to the  save point again  and  use a Tent.  After
saving, leave the room and enter the other door on the left. At the 6th
floor, you'll finally meet Kain and Golbez.  Tellah will now take revenge for
Anna. He will have a duel with Golbez.  At first, Tellah will use Level 2 and
3 magic attacks. Since they don't work, he'll finally use Meteo.
Surprisingly, Golbez is defeated. He is very weak now and somehow, he said
something very puzzling ("what's going..."). Seems like he is also under a
spell. Due to the use of Meteo, Tellah will die. Cecil will also swear
revenge for both him and Anna. After that, talk to Kain. He'll tell you that
Rosa is in the other room. There, Rosa will finally be saved. After the
reunion, Cecil and Rosa will tell Kain to join them in their fight. Rosa and
Kain will now join the party  once more.  Now, when you try to leave, a voice
will be heard again. It's Valvalis, the Devil of the Wind.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: VALVALIS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    7,000
EXP:   1,800
GIL:   5,500
Items: none
Attacks: Glare, Wind, Transform

Valvalis can either be easy or impossible to beat. She will always try to
change into Tornado form and if she does, she'll do an attack, which cuts of
90%-95% of your character's life plus she'll cast gradual petrify. In order
to prevent her from being in the Tornado form, use Kain's Jump attack. She'll
revert back to normal. During that time, let her taste some of Cecil and
Yang's physical attacks. Remember that their normal attacks won't be
effective against the Tornado form of Valvalis.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that tough battle, Valvalis will try to destroy the building with her.
Fortunately, Rosa will cast the  Exit spell and she  will bring everybody to
Cecil's room back in Baron.


\\\\\\\\\\\
   BARON
\\\\\\\\\\\

There, Kain will tell everyone that Golbez doesn't have all the crystals yet.
He only has half of them since there are still Dark Crystals (which is
another set) in the underworld. He will give the magma key to Cecil which
incidentally, opens up the underworld passage. Unfortunately, Kain doesn't
know where the entrance to the underworld is. Cid tells everyone that they
can fly the airship around the world to find it. After that, everyone will
take a rest. The next morning, leave Baron and board the airship. From Baron,
go south and you'll reach a small island with a mountain range in the center
and a small town. Enter it.


\\\\\\\\\\\
   AGART
\\\\\\\\\\\

Here, you can buy new equipments and some items.  After that, you can talk to
everyone here. Then, examine the well at the center of the town and use the
Magma Key. An earthquake will occur. Leave Agart and you'll see the mountain
open up. Leave Agart and board the airship. Fly over the hole and press the X
button.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   UNDERWORLD
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Here, you'll find yourselves  in the  center of a fearsome battle between the
Red Wings and a group of Tanks!? Cid will try to push through but the airship
will be severely hit. After that, you'll be on the underworld map beside a
castle. Prepare your party then enter the castle.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   DWARVEN CASTLE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Item/s: HrGlass2, Elixir x2, Ether2, Strength, Dwarf, HiPotion

Here, talk to the  dwarves at the entrance  and  they will tell you that King
Giott rules this castle. Now, move on and meet up with King Giott. He'll tell
you that the Red Wings already got 2 crystals. They're having trouble
fighting the Red Wings since they are airborne and are hard to hit using
tanks. He'll ask for your help with airships. Cid will then head back and fix
the airship with a little help from the dwarves. He will leave the party for
now. After that, Yang will sense a presence behind the king. Yang and the
party will go after it. On the other side, you'll see dancing dolls. After a
while, they will  tell you that they love to kill and will kill you as a gift
to Golbez. You'll then have to fight them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: CAL (x3), BRINA (c3), CALBRINA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    (Cal: 1,000 each) (Brina: 600 each) (Calbrina: 4,500)
EXP:   4,750
GIL:   8,500
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Attacks, Hold, Glance

This battle will be hard. First, you'll have to deal with 6 dolls. Try to
defeat them and they will change into Calbrina. In this form, it will attack
with very strong attack so try your best to destroy this form. Unfortunately,
they will split into 6 once more. After beating this second group of 6 dolls,
they will transform into Calbrina once more. This time, use everything you've
got to defeat this one. After destroying Calbrina for the second time, the
fight will be over.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, Golbez will appear once more. This time, he'll tell you the
reason why he is collecting the crystals. It is to activate the Tower of
Babil that leads to the moon.  It seems that the moon has an incomprehensible
power. Then, Golbez will attack the party.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: GOLBEZ
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    5,000
EXP:   7,500
GIL:   11,000
Items: none
Attacks: Fire2, Bolt2, Ice2

At first, you'll be helpless against him. One by one, the party will be KO'd
by Golbez' summon. Then, when all seems lost, a Mist Dragon will appear and
will destroy Golbez' summon. It's Rydia! When she appears, use her Summons to
take care of Golbez. Most likely, Cecil will be the only one left alive so
use him to either attack or heal Rydia.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone will then thank Rydia for helping them out. Rydia will tell you that
she was swallowed by Leviathan and was taken to the Land of Summons. The time
there is faster, and that explains why Rydia grew up. After that, Golbez will
still be alive. His hands will get hold of the crystal, then it will
disappear. Back at the throne room, King Giott will tell you that the final
crystal is in a Sealed Cave to the southwest. But first, get the items around
the castle. In the right tower, you'll get an HrGlass2, Elixir, Ether2,
Strength, and Dwarf. At the left tower, you'll get a HiPotion. When you're
ready, head to the basement and talk to the dwarf beside the bookshelf. He'll
open a path for you. It's the underground path that will lead you to Tower of
Babil. At the 2nd basement, get the 3 Cabins in the chests on the right side.
Move on and you'll reach the Dwarven Base. Examine the Water of Life here
that will restore your HP and MP. Then, move on to the underworld.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   UNDERWORLD
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

From your current position, head all the way to the left then go north at the
end. You should see the tanks of the dwarves creating a diversion for you so
that you could enter the Tower of Babil discretely. Now, keep on moving and
enter the Tower.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


In the first area, go  left and  get 2 sets of Ice Arrows. On the right side,
get the Ether1.  Go through the door at the center. At the 2nd floor, get the
Bandanna to your left.  At  the south  portion  of this  floor, you'll see a
couple of doors.  The bottom door will have a chest that contains monsters.
But after defeating  them, you'll net  the  Ice Spear for Kain.  On the right
door, you'll find another chest.  This time, you'll have to beat the monsters
to get the Ice Brand for Cecil. Now, enter the top door (among the 3).

At the 3rd floor, examine the chest to your right for a Cat Claw.  Then, head
for the right wall and get the HiPotion. At the bottom wall, get a Life. Now,
go around to the left and enter the door on the left side. At the 4th floor,
enter the next door on the left for a save point. After saving, leave the
room and head north. Then, head right into another room. Beat the monster
inside this chest and you'll receive the Ice Armor. Outside, go south and
you'll see 2 adjacent rooms. Go inside the one on the left for the Ice
Shield. Leave this room. Don't bother entering the door on the right. Now, go
extreme north and go to the upper left over the bridge. At the 5th floor,
head all  the way to  the right (past the stairs) and get the HiPotion.  From
here, go north and you'll see a door.  Enter it.  Move on until you reach the
7th floor.

In here, go  right  and into the save point room.  Use a Tent or a Cabin then
leave the room. Outside, go south.  Get the Ether2 on the left side then move
on until you reach the 8th floor. Here, you'll meet up with a certain
Rubicant and a Doctor.  After Rubicant leaves, the  Doctor will notice Cecil.
Seems he's been working behind Golbez and Rubicant.  His name is Lugae and he
is determined to protect the tower. You'll then have to fight with him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: DR. LUGAE and BALNAB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    (Lugae: 2,500) (Balnab: 5,000) (Balnab-Z: 2,800)
EXP:   none
GIL:   none
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Physical Attack, Detonate

This will be pretty easy. Just keep on attacking Balnab using Kain's Jump,
Cecil and Yang's normal attacks. Let Rydia use any magic and have Rosa heal
the entire party. After beating Balnab, Lugae will ride on Balnab. It will
have stronger attacks to heal frequently. At the end, it will use the
Detonate action to destroy itself and damage one of your characters greatly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, Lugae will be mad at you. But then, it's time to get
serious. He'll transform in to another form.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: LUGABORG
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    9,200
EXP:   2,020
GIL:   4,000
Items: Tower Key
Attacks: Gas, Poison, Heal

This time, it has a higher HP. Also, it will inflict Poison on everyone in
the party. Strangely enough, Lugaborg will also heal the party from Poison.
Remember, Balnab even attacked Lugae? Now, use your most powerful attacks
against it and you'll be ok. Heal frequently and avoid having one of your
party members die.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that battle, Lugae will tell you that Rubicant already has the crystals
and has brought them to the overworld. As for the Dwarves, the cannons will
be enough to obliterate them. Cecil and the party will then shove off to stop
the cannons. When you regain control of the party, head back to the 7th floor
and save your game.  Then, go  to the 5th floor and go up the stairs that you
passed a while ago. Use the Tower Key on the door and then enter. Beat the
Imps inside. As their final attack, they'll destroy the controls for the
cannons. The unthinkable will happen again. This time, Yang will sacrifice
himself to destroy the cannons.  After that terrible  tragedy, go all the way
down to the 1st floor of the tower.  Here, Golbez will stop you.  Just as you
fall, Cid will catch you with the airship. But then, the Red Wings will still
be able to catch up with you. Again, Cid will do the unthinkable. He'll
sacrifice himself too so that the opening will be sealed and you'll be able
to get out. After that incident, the party will be at the overworld map. Head
to Baron at once. It's to the north.


\\\\\\\\\\\\
   BARON
\\\\\\\\\\\\

Here, go to the  east tower  and  you'll see 2 men outside.  Talk to them and
they will tell you that Cid ordered them to do something. You'll then see
them work some things for the airship. After the modifications, you'll now be
able to carry along the Hovercraft. Just stay on top of it and press X to
lift it. After that, in the world map, head for Damcyan and go a little bit
to the east.  That's the last place where we left our hovercraft. Get it then
head for the Tower of Babil which now visible.  Notice that there is a castle
to the southeast of it.  Drop the hovercraft  there then head a little bit to
the west (through the shallow waters) and enter Eblan Cave.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   EBLAN CAVE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Item/s: Vampire

In  the first  area, go  south and  go to the lower  right area  and  get the
Vampire.  Then, use the lower left ladder.  At the next area, you'll see some
people.  They're the people of Eblan.  You can buy items, weapons, and armor
here. You can also take a rest and talk to the people.  You'll then know that
their prince is  in the Tower of Babil to  avenge his  parents. After knowing
that, head for the Tower of Babil.

Before the tower proper, you'll need to get past this area. Now, in the first
area, get the Ether1 from the chest to your right then move on. Get the chest
to the north for a Tent. Then, go south (you'll notice a passage which is
semi-hidden) and get a HiPotion. Go north again and move on to the next area.
Here, go north and get the Kamikaze. Then go south. There are chests to the
right but you think you can't reach it. Just pass through the wall and you'll
find yourself on the other side. Get the Shuriken here. Now, head back to the
left then go south towards the next area.

In here, get a Cabin and 2 HiPotions.  Go south  and get the lone chest for a
Silk Web. Now, get the 3 chests on the lower right for 2 Life and an
HrGlass2. Continue north to the next area. In here, enter the door on your
immediate right and save your game. Use a Tent or a Cabin if necessary (most
likely you'll only need a Tent). After that, leave the save room and go
north. You'll see Rubicant and another person. He'll introduce himself as
Edge, the prince of Eblan. He will have a duel with Rubicant. In this battle,
just watch Rubicant take care of Edge. After that, Rubicant will leave and
the party will talk to Edge. It will take some convincing before he joins the
party. 2 Babes is all it takes. =) He will now join your party. Remember that
Edge is a Ninja and Ninjas have very useful skills such as his high speed
rating and the ability to equip 2 weapons at a time. After that, move forward
to the next area.

Here, go north  and you'll find  yourselves at  a dead end.  Watch closely as
Edge uses his ninja skills that will allow you to pass through.  On the other
side, get the chest on the immediate left for a Unihorn.  After that, move on
past the door that you'll see, and get the HrGlass2 from the chest at the
end. Now, enter the door you just passed through.  In the next floor, move on
until you see a ladder that leads south. Go down and get the chest for an
Ogre Axe, but you'll have to defeat the monsters inside first. After that, go
up again and move on to the left. Move on again until you reach the next
floor.

At the next floor, go right past the  door on the right and get the Succubus.
Then, go back to the left and enter the door. At the next floor, go right and
move on and get the chest on the way for an Ashura Knife. You can equip it
for Edge. After that, move on towards the next area. Here, go right and
you'll see 2 doors. Enter the one on the left and save your game again. Don't
forget to use a Tent or a Cabin. After that, leave the room and enter the
next door on the right. Move on until you reach the 5th floor. Here, go to
the extreme left and get the chest at the end for a whopping 82,000 gil. Now,
enter the door  at the center.  But before you do, you'll see  King and Queen
Eblan here. They will attack the party.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: KING AND QUEEN EBLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    7,000 each
EXP:   0
GIL:   0
Items: none
Attacks: Fire1, Fire2

This fight will be easy. Just concentrate attack on Queen Eblan and once you
do 7,000 damage, they will both regain consciousness. You'll see some
dialogue between them and edge. Finally, they will say their farewell to
their son and the tragic fight will be over.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that scene, Rubicant  will appear.  Edge's anger will awaken his hidden
abilities, Flood and Blitz. Then, you'll have to do battle with Rubicant.
When you regain control, do not heal your HP and MP.  Talk to Rubicant and he
will give you a fair fight by healing your HP and MP. The tough battle
begins.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: RUBICANT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    32,300!
EXP:   3,600
GIL:   7,000
Items: none
Attacks: Fire2, Scorch

Now that's a huge HP rating! But don't worry. Cecil's normal attacks will do
at least 2,000 damage and Kain's Jump will do an astounding 5,000 damage to
Rubicant. Just let the 2 attack and have Edge support them. Rydia and Rosa
should be the healers for the party. You basically just have to watch out for
the scorch attack since it does at least 1,700 damage to a single party
member. You just can't afford to lost either Cecil or Kain here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, you'll see Edge's  men  come in.  They will try to help but
Edge and the party already defeated Rubicant. Now, Move on to the crystal
room. You're almost there, but surprisingly, there's a trap that will drop
you to the floors below. Just move on and get 2 HiPotions (one on each floor)
until you reach a new airship. The party then decides to use it. At the
underworld, disembark first and save your game.  Now, notice  that you cannot
pass through the hot lava around the underworld. The only place to go?
Dwarven castle.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   DWARVEN CASTLE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Here, talk to King Giott. He'll give you the Necklace that is the key to open
the Sealed Cave.  Now, you can talk to the dwarves in this room and they will
tell you of some things you can do. Go to sealed cave, go to Land of Summons,
talk to the airship fellow (Cid), and go to Tomra near the Sealed Cave. Now,
go down to the floor where the Fat Chocobo is. You can store some items there
if you want. After that, head left into the infirmary and talk to Cid. He's
all right. He will then lend you a hand once more. You'll then see him modify
the airship you got from the tower.  After that, Cid will rest again. Head to
the underworld and fly the modified airship.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
  UNDERWORLD
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

From the Dwarven Castle,  head southwest and you'll see a small town inside a
short mountain range.  Take note that you can now fly over the lava. The town
is Tomra. The place the dwarves in the castle are talking about.


\\\\\\\\\\\
   TOMRA
\\\\\\\\\\\

Item/s: ThorRage, Bomb, 2000 Gil, Ether2, Notus, Bestiary

In here, instead of Rally-ho, they  say Lali-ho!.  They  seem to be separated
from their civilized counterparts at the Dwarven castle.  But they sell the
best equipments to  this point so buy  those diamond equipments.  That 82,000
gil from the Tower of Babil is really useful.  After buying, enter  the house
at the northwest corner of the town. Get the ThorRage, Bomb, 2000 Gil, and an
Ether 2. In 2 of the jars, you can find a Notus and a Bestiary.  Also, one of
the dwarves in town will tell you  about the  Land of Summons which is to the
northwest of Tomra. After that, leave the town. Directly to the northwest of
Tomra, you'll find the Sealed Cave where you should go next to move on in the
story. But then, if you move further to the northwest, you'll see another
cave. Enter the Cave of Summons.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


In here, you'll see orange circle panels and  when  you step on them, it will
decrease your life a little bit. To beat the enemies easily, use Rydia's all-
powerful Mist Dragon Summon. In the first floor, get the chest on the lower
right corner for a HiPotion. At the upper right corner, get the Life. Use the
stairs on the leftmost area to reach the next floor. At the second floor,
there's a Cabin inside the chest on the upper left corner and a HiPotion in
the lower right corner. Use the stairs on the upper right corner to go to the
next floor. At the 3rd floor, get the Life and the Bestiary. Move on until
you reach the B4. Here, you'll see the inhabitants of the Land of summons
already. Clockwise from the teleporter, you'll be able to get Ether1,
Bestiary, Rat Tail, 5000 Gil, 6000 Gil. Now, use the other teleporter. But
first, go right past the teleporter and through the wall. You'll get an
extremely powerful sword for Cecil inside a chest with monsters. The Defense
Sword.  Then, you'll see a path on the right side (to the right of the chest
with the Life) where you  can pass through the wall to reach the chests that
you cannot  reach on  the left side.  You can get a HiPotion, VenomAxe and a
Kikuichi from the 3 chests.

You can talk to t he inhabitants  here.  I suggest  that you buy the powerful
equipments here. If you want to take a rest, unfortunately, you can't find an
inn here. But there is a save point in the house at the upper left area of
the village. Get the Bestiary and the Life here. After that, head for the
library (below  the house  with the save point), and head  down  to the royal
chamber. Speak to the Queen and you'll have to prove yourself to her first.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: ASURA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    31,800
EXP:   4,000
GIL:   0
Items: none
Attacks: Cure3, Life1, Armor, Normal Attacks

Asura is very very hard considering that she has a very high HP rating. The
problem that will arise during the battle is when she casts Cure3 on herself.
The only way to counter it is to cast wall on her. But you can only use Wall
when Rosa is at Level 37. To defeat her, Kain should use Jump, Cecil and Edge
should use normal physical attacks. Rosa should be the healer. And Rydia
should use the Mist Dragon Summon (always keep her HP at maximum for max
damage).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle with Asura, Rydia can now summon her at will.  Then, you can
now talk to the old man beside Asura. Accept the challenge, but beware, he is
much stronger than Asura since he is...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: LEVIATAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    50,900
EXP:   14,000
GIL:   0
Items: none
Attacks: Big Wave, Ice2

Now this is tough. Do not engage him if you're not ready yet. Level 45 and
above is recommended for this battle. The Big Wave attack will cause 1900+
damage to ALL of your characters, therefore lower levels are not capable of
beating Leviatan. You just use the same pattern that you used against Asura.
But this time, be a little more patient since he has more HPs than Asura
herself. He's the King of the summons anyway.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that ultra tough battle, Rydia will learn how to summon Leviatan. After
that, let's move on with the story.  Go back to the  underworld  map and head
for the Sealed Cave to the southeast of the Cave of Summons.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


Inside, use the necklace on the door. Go in. At the first level, go south and
examine the door. You'll have to fight it. Use Rydia's Mist Summon to
pulverize the monster. After that, go inside and take the Kotetsu and the
Ether1. Exit the room. Get the chest a little bit to the southwest from here
for a Bestiary. Move on to the northwest and beat another door that turns
into a monster. Go in and take the Ether1 and the HiPotion inside. Now, there
will be 2 door to the north.  Don't beat them as there's nothing behind them.
Use the lower right exit.

At the second floor, go south first  and get the StarVeil.  Go back up then
head right. Get the Life from the chest. Move north and you'll see a couple
of doors. Let's start from the right. The rightmost door has nothing behind
it. The next door has a Light Sword inside. At the third door, get the
Elixir, Starveil and the Fuma. The fourth door is empty. Then, on the fifth
door, you'll finally be able to use a Cabin and Save your game. At the next
door, you'll find another Kotetsu and a Ninja Helmet. After that, go to the
southern door and you'll reach the next area.

Here, get the Ether1 from the chest.  At the next area, get  the Life and the
HiPotion. In here, don't be confused. There's a monster door at the left side
but there isn't anything behind it. Just go south towards the 3rd Floor.
Here, get the MuteBell at the extreme right then go down the rope in the
center. The door here (beside the Mutebell) is empty. Below, go right, beat
the door and enter it. Get the Ether2 and the X-Potion inside. Leave and then
head left. Move on until you reach another save point. Use another Cabin or a
Tent, whichever is more necessary. After that, go south to the next area.
From here, just move on until you reach the Crystal Room. Get the Dark
Crystal here. Now, try to leave the cave. On the way, a rumble will occur and
a wall will move and attack the party.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: EVILWALL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    25,500
EXP:   4,600
GIL:   8,000
Items: none
Attacks: Normal Physical attacks

Your main goal here is to kill the Evil Wall as fast as possible. Once it
reaches your party, you'll receive tons of damage and eventually get KO'd.
Use only the most powerful attacks at the wall and don't worry about the
physical attacks it does since they are petty and can't damage much. Rydia's
Mist Dragon is, again, very useful in this match. Just keep her HP always at
Max.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that battle, return to the  save point and save your game.  Now, return
all the way back to the entrance. Then, Golbez will summon Kain and he will
seize the crystal from you.  It seems Golbez was successful in his plan. From
here, return back to the Dwarven Castle.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
  DWARVEN CASTLE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Here, talk to King Giott.  It  seems impossible to stop Golbez now. But then,
Giott will tell you about the Mysidian Legend about the Whale.  You now have
to go back to Mysidia in the Overworld. But you can't go there since the
passage is sealed and  you can't  use Babil either.  Again, Cid  comes to the
rescue.  He'll attach a drill to the Falcon so that you can just dig through.
After that, Cid will get tired again. After the scene, exit to the underworld
map and board the fully equipped airship.  Go north to where the passage used
to be (with a small crater) and  you'll see  the airship  bust through to the
other side. At the world map, head left and go to Mysidia.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   MYSIDIA
\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The elder will meet up with you and tells you go with  them at the tower.  On
top, they will pray for the Mysidian Legend to come true and it did. The
Lunar Whale will appear before them and that there's someone waiting for
Cecil and the party on the moon. After that, head for the world map and board
the Lunar Whale.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   LUNAR WHALE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

You can do a couple of things  inside the Lunar Whale.  First, if you examine
the crystal, you can travel to the moon. If you examine the control panel to
the north of the crystal, you can control the ship. To the south, there are a
couple of customized beds that will completely restore your HP and MP. And
don't forget that the Fat Chocobo is also inside this ship should you wish to
store your excess items and equipments.  After preparing, examine the crystal
and head for the moon.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   THE MOON
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

In here, the most  prominent place  you'll see that  you have to go to is the
palace of crystal.  It can be easily  located on the  moon but the problem is
how to  reach the cave  entrance at the bottom of the tower.  First, remember
that the Lunar Whale can only land on clear grounds, therefore you cannot
land directly at the cave. To reach the crystal tower, you'll have to go
through a series of pathways.  To the left of  the palace, you'll see another
cave.  Let's head there first.  Land the Lunar  Whale on the  mountain and go
down the makeshift ladder and then enter the cave.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   LUNAR PATH
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Item/s: Stardust, Moon Veil, Au apple

Inside, go right and get the Au Apple after defeating the monsters inside the
chest. Then, go north and get 2 chests on the upper right corner for a
Stardust and a Moonveil.  Move on to the next screen.  You'll be  back at the
moon map now. Go right to the next cave and go in. It's a straightforward
from this point on. Just keep on moving until you reach the Crystal Palace.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
   CRYSTAL PALACE
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Inside, of you go left, you'll see a crystal chest. If you examine it, you'll
fight Red Giants with lots and lots of HP. They only attack with physical
attacks and petrification but be sure to finish them off as quickly as you
can. They give off a good amount of EXP and Gil. On the right side, you'll be
able to use a panel that will restore your MP. Now go to the center and
you'll meet FuSoYa, the guardian of the Lunarians.  FuSoYa will tell you of
their planet and their  escape from extinction.  He'll also introduce someone
named Zemus, who wants to  annihilate all  humans by  collecting the crystals
and restoring the Tower of Babil. After that, he will tell you of his friend,
Kluya, who once went to earth and fell in love with an earthling. And then,
the revelation that Kluya and his wife have 2 children, one of which is Cecil
himself. The other one is still unknown as of now.  After that, Zemus must be
stopped therefore, FuSoYa  will join you to the Tower of Babil. Tremendously,
FuSoYa  has a  complete library  of White and  Black Magic.  After that, when
you're ready, go back to the Lunar Whale and go back to Earth.


\\\\\\\\\\\\
   EARTH
\\\\\\\\\\\\

Upon arrival, it seems  that  you're too late.  The Giant of Babil is brought
forth and is starting to wreak havoc. After all seems lots, someone attacks
the Giant. It's the dwarves! And they have Yang! Then, airships will arrive
to help. It's Cid and the rest of the Red Wings. To everyone's surprise,
Edward is also back. On the other ship, you'll see the elder of Mysidia with
Palom and Porom. They have been restored! Cecil will thank everyone. Then,
FuSoYa will tell them that it's time to enter the Giant. They have to destroy
its core in order to defeat it completely.  Cid will  then use his airship to
bring Cecil and the party inside the mouth.

Inside, just keep on moving until  you reach the Chest.  Here, get a treasure
chest on your left for a Shuriken.  Move on and  get another chest on the way
for a HiPotion (near the rotating gears). Then, move on and get the Ether1,
Yoichi Bow (Upper right) and the Alert (in the center) on the way.  Continue.
You'll reach the stomach.

In here, go north immediately and get  the Ag Apple.  Then, go to the extreme
right then go up and get the SomaDrop. Move on until you reach the passage.
Here, move on and get an Elixir from a chest after defeating the enemy
inside. Continue and you'll be able to reach a  save point.  Use a Cabin then
save your game. When you're ready, move on to the next area.  In here, beware
of the Mech Dragon. It can cut 20% of your life each turn.  Now, move forward
and you'll meet up with familiar characters. Milon, Cagnazzo, Valvalis, and
of course, Rubicant, the four fiends. Before the battle, Rubicant will
restore your HP and MP so don't worry about the  damage you got from the Mech
Dragon.

BOSS: ELEMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    Total of 65,000
EXP:   15,625
GIL:   10,000
Items: none
Attacks: Various Attacks (same as what they used to)

This battle will be tough if you don't know what to do. Just remember that
you'll have to fight them all, one by one. The hardest so far is still
Valvalis since her wind attacks will put everyone in critical HP. Just use
the most powerful attacks especially Rydia and FuSoYa's summon and magic
attacks. They're forefronts and don't let either one of them get KO'd.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that long battle, return back to  the save point  and use a  Cabin and
save your game. Now, go back and enter the Giant's Core. You'll have to beat
it in order to destroy the giant.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: CORE, ATTACKER, DEFENDER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    Core (25,000), Attacker and Defender (3,500 each)
EXP:   15,625
GIL:   10,333
Items: none
Attacks: Cure3, Beam, Globe99

First, you must know what the attacker and defender does. The Defender will
restore the HP of the Core so you must kill it first. Then, concentrate your
attack on the core. The attacker will do most of the damage to your party so
heal every turn. If the attacker and defender is destroyed, the Core will
regain them after a short while. If you attack the core in anyway during this
state (without both the attacker and the defender), you'll prompt it to
attack with its Globe99 ability. What is Globe99? Well, it will only do 9999
damage to everyone. Big deal (duh). So, let the attacker live so prevent this
disaster. Take care in using summons. Use them only when an arm, or both, is
present.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the giant has  been destroyed, Golbez will come in.  Then, FuSoYa  will
free Golbez from Zemus' control. They'll all be shocked to know that Golbez
is Cecil's brother all along. After that, Golbez and FuSoYa goes ahead to
beat up Zemus. After they leave, the giant starts to fumble down. Kain will
appear and will lead help them escape. Back at the Lunar Whale, Kain will
tell everyone that he is responsible and is to be killed if he would be
controlled once more. Then, Cecil will tell Rosa and Rydia to leave since
it's very dangerous. Both of them will leave angrily. After that, you'll go
to the moon. Just before the 3 leaves the Lunar Whale, Rosa and Rydia
surprisingly hid and stayed inside the Lunar Whale.  Cecil can't do anything
now except to let the 2 join in.  Now, head all the way back to the Crystal
Palace.  Inside, go to the room behind the room where you saw FuSoYa for the
first time.  You may talk to the crystal if you want to. After that, use the
center panel and the crystals will lead you to the core.

Item/s: Blizzard, X-Potion, Inferno, Cabin, Elixir, Whistle
Equipment/s: FireLash, Dragon Shield, Dragon Helmet, Dragon Armor, Dragon
Gloves, Artemis Arrows x2, Stardust Rod, Crystal Shield, Protect Gloves,
Crystal Armor Crystal Gloves, Crystal Helmet, Fuma Shuriken x4, Minerva Robe

In the first area, just go south and move on to the next area. In here,
you'll see a chest, there's a path to it (hidden) on the right side. You'll
be able to get Rydia's FireLash. Now, go back to the right then head north.
Move on and get the Dragon Shield at the extreme upper left. After that,
enter the door on the left of this chest.

In level B3, go south and you'll see the door. Go further to the south and go
right, through a hidden path that will lead you to the Dragon Helmet, Dragon
Armor, and Dragon Gloves. After getting those equipments, go back and enter
the door to reach B4. At level B4, go right past the ladders and get the
Artemis Arrows. Go left and use the ladders. Move south and go on to the next
area.

In here, get the Blizzard at the upper right corner.  Then, get  the X-Potion
on the left side.  Move on to the next area. You'll  be back in B4 but you'll
be on a different area. Here, get  the chest  on the left for a Stardust Rod.
You have to beat the Behemoth first though.  Move on.  At the  next area, get
the chest on the left for a Crystal shield. You'll have to defeat 2 tough
dragons in order to get it. Then, move on to the next area.

In here, just move on and get the  Protect Gloves  on the way.  Remember that
the paths are hidden. Now, at the right side, you can either go north or
south. Go south first and get the Crystal Armor. After getting the armor, go
back. Go north this time. At the next area, go right first and get the
Crystal Gloves.  Go left and move on until you reach a room.  Inside, get the
White Robe on the left side. Go north to the next area.

In here, go left and get the Crystal Helmet.  Go right onto the next room and
get an Inferno. Leave this small room then go south to the next area. At
level B6, get the Artemis Arrows and the Fuma Shuriken. Then, you'll see 2
ladders to the south. Go down the left one first and get the Cabin. After
that, use the other ladder and move on again to the next area. Here, get the
Minerva Robe at the upper left side. Then, exit through the upper right door.
In this area, you'll see 3 doors to the south. Enter the leftmost one.
Finally, it's a save point. Don't hesitate to use a Cabin now. After that, go
to the next door on the right. Before you'll be able to get the spear, you'll
have to defeat Plague.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: PLAGUE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    ?
EXP:   ?
GIL:   ?
Items: none
Attacks: Doom, Haste

I'm still looking for a way to defeat this monster. But if you need help, you
can look at these alternatives for now.


Alternate strategies:

Beat up your own characters. If you kill off a character and then revive
them, Plague casts Doom again, resetting the timer for everyone. If you like,
you can enter battle with four dead characters and revive one every time the
timer gets low, and when everyone is alive, start attacking them to kill them
off again. I just beat Plague using this method.

Thanks to Xythar Darkmoon for this strategy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that ultra tough battle, go back  and save  your game once more.  Use a
Cabin then go inside the room to the right of the room where you got the
Spear.  Just before  you approach the 2 chests, you'll be  attacked by 2
Lunasaurs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: LUNASAUR x2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    23,500 each
EXP:   11,800
GIL:   0
Items: none
Attacks: Fire, Recover, Bio, Wall

These 2 Lunasaurs have tremendous attack power. Their Fire and Bio attacks
will deal thousands of damage to your party. All you need to do here is to
use Rydia's most powerful summon (Mist if you have high HP), Rosa should be
the healer, Edge and Cecil use normal attacks and Kain should Jump.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After beating the 2 Lunasaurs, get the 2 Ribbons.  It will  boost the magical
ability of the wearer at the expense of the defense. After that, return to
the save point and use a cabin. After that, go out and go right (past the 2
doors) and go north. Go down the ladder there and enter the door. At the next
area, head right and just continue on along the path. Get another Fuma
Shuriken at the left side. Move on and you'll see a sword at the lower right
area. If you examine it, you'll have to fight Ogopogo in order to acquire the
Masamune sword.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: OGOPOGO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    50,000
EXP:   30,500
GIL:   0
Items: none
Attacks: Big Wave, Blaze, Normal Attacks

He's such a cheat. Ogopogo will use Big Wave not once, but twice in a row.
This often happens and the result would be 4000+ HP damage to everyone! The
only thing to do is to battle him only if you're ready (let's say at around
Level 80+). Also, use the most powerful attacks of your party members and
have Rosa heal the party every turn.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After  beating Ogopogo, you'll  acquire the  Masamune sword for Edge. Then, I
suggest that you go back and save your game. After that, move on until you
reach the area next to where you fought Ogopogo. In here, you'll be able to
get an Elixir at the right side. Move on and get the Whistle on the way. Move
on to the next area. Here, get 2 Fumas. From here on, move on until you reach
Golbez and FuSoYa.

You'll see  them attack  the body of  Zemus. They will perform the W Meteo,
which is a more powerful version of the normal Meteo, like what Tellah did
earlier in the game. After that, it seems that Zemus is finally dead. After a
short reunion, a new entity will arise. Zeromus, the incarnation of Zemus'
hatred. Golbez and FuSoYa will try again to beat Zeromus but this time,
Zeromus is impervious to Meteo. They will try to use the crystal but it will
not work and Zeromus will put an end to the 2. Then, you'll see the people on
top of the Mysidian Tower. They will each give their prayers to you.

Back at the moon, the prayers will be heard and Cecil will stand up. Golbez
will give him the crystal. Thus, the final battle begins.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: ZEROMUS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP:    121,000
EXP:   0
GIL:   0
Items: none
Attacks: Bio, Big Bang, Flare, Black Hole, Meteo

At the start of the battle, Palom and Porom will give your party life, Edward
and Tellah will give you strength, Cid and Yang will give you Vitality,
finally Golbez and FuSoYa will give strength to Cecil. The final battle is
about to start.

First, use the Crystal so that Zeromus will reveal himself. Once Zeromus
reveals his true form, pull no punches. Use Rydia's strongest summon, Edge
and Cecil should attack physically, Kain should jump, and for every turn, let
Rosa cast Cure4 on everyone. This will be a long battle so be patient. Also,
don't hesitate to use strong items such as Elixirs as you won't be needed
them after this battle anymore. Just remember that the Big Bang Attack and
Flare will do great damage to your party. Bio and Meteo will only damage you
a little. As for the Black Hole, it will remove all positive spells in your
party (like Haste and Armor). Good Luck!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


*****************************************************************************
!!!SPOILER WARNING!!!

After that long and exhausting battle  with Zeromus, he  is finally defeated.
FuSoYa will congratulate each and everyone of you.  Golbez will then talk to
Cecil. Golbez and FuSoYa will then say their goodbyes to the party. Cecil
finally talks to Golbez as a brother.  After that, you'll  see the  epilogue.
Then, you'll see a scene with the elder of Mysidia with Palom and Porom.
Palom will be  punished for being irresponsible. Then, you'll see Edge in his
throne room. The old man will try to teach him some manners. But all Edge
thinks of is Rydia ^_^  Then, you'll see Rydia with Leviatan and Asura at the
Land of Summons.  After that, you'll see Yang as the new king of Fabul.  Even
though he is a king, he is still inclined to training.  The next scenes would
be Edward thinking about Anna and the Dwarves at the Dwarven Castle. Giott
will tell you that Cecil and Rosa will be the King and Queen of Baron.  After
that, you'll see an unmasked Kain (facing away anyway) at Mt. Ordeals. Then,
the observers will see something  happening to the moon.  You'll then see the
moon break away from its orbit from the earth.  Back to the earth, you'll see
Cecil and Rosa. Cecil will somehow hear his brother. Then the crowning
ceremony will begin. One by one, Cecil's friends will come in (some are
naughty). After that you'll see a new FMV. Then, the credits will roll up
just like the epilogue. Congratulations! You've finished Final Fantasy IV!
Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed the game and the guide.

The weapons have been alphabetized and are not arranged according to the type

may see several of the same names, but they are different types of weapons
and range in power, value and character use. The blanks in "Location" are
intended only because I've  forgotten  where I found them. I couldn't find it
