=============================================================================
------------------------------- [ Cecil ] -----------------------------------
=============================================================================


The Dark Knight of Baron and commander of the powerful air force the Red 
Wings. Baron, the most powerful nation in the world has suddenly gone evil. 
Cecil commiting these acts of unjust crimes he wears the evil and fearsome 
Dark armor. He attacks the town of Mysidia forcing the people to give up the 
Crystal of Water, and they willingly agree but not before Cecil's men kills a 
few mages. Although he wields the Dark Sword and wears the Dark Armor he is 
in constant remorse with his past sins. Taken away from his rank as Commander 
of the Red Wings he sets his journey forth towards the unknown lands full of 
deadly monsters and mystical magic of both good and evil.

NOTE: The Dragon Wave is somewhat of a unique attack. Although the hits are 
      considerably weak they do however hit all on opponents. But there is a 
      downside to this, and that's the fact that each time he uses it his HP 
      drops down by about 8-9%.

      His Cover command is used to cover allies, although he still covers his 
      allies automatically this just allows Cecil to cover the ally even 
      though his ally's HP is nowhere near the danger zone.

      When Cecil's allies HP are low Cecil will automatically cover his ally 
      from constant attack, so it is important that you equip Cecil with the 
      best piece of armor with the highest Physical Attack defense. However 
      you cannot prevent Cecil from Covering his allies and if his allies are 
      in the back row Cecil will take damage like he was in the back row. 
      Also when Cecil's HP are low he cannot cover because he is too weak to 
      take the hits, but don't rely on Cecil to constantly protect your ally 
      because sometimes an opponent might deal a serious blow that can 
      immediately wound Cecil out of battle so make sure you always keep all 
      your characters' HP out of the Danger Zone. Also Cecil cannot Cover the 
      ally if the ally is attacked by Magic.

      After Cecil becomes a Paladin he loses the ability to use his 
      DragonWave.

      When Cecil does become a Paladin his stats are extremely high from 
      those of a Dark Knight, for example a Level 1 Paladin stat's are about 
      50% higher than those of a level 20 Dark Knight, just to let you know.



=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [ Cid ] -----------------------------------
=============================================================================

The chief engineer of Baron is the master technician behind the designs and
contructions of the Red Wings' air force. However Cid is always optimistic 
and did not know that his ships were being used for war. He decides he help
out the party after he had found out about his ships being used as weapons
he had especially designed a high class airship hidden from the King of 
Baron. Later after sacrificing himself in the underworld he is treated by
the Dwarves and helps out the party with enhancements towards the Falchon.

NOTE: Cid's Peep command allows him to see the enemies' HP or MP and also 
      displays the enemies' weakness if there is one. Also he cannot see 
      bosses' HP and this will not cost Cid any Magic points. Also if you 
      have the spell Peep its pretty much useless unless you are down on MP.


=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [ Edge ] ----------------------------------
=============================================================================

The prince of Eblan, with an annoying ego he agrees to help the party after
the party meets him in the underworld after his defeat at the hands of
Rubicant, the fiend of fire. Also his defense rating is not as high as you
would like it as a fighter, but he has the ability to equip two swords and
can use your weapons as throwing objects.

NOTE: His NINJA command allows him to use 6 types of Magic. He has three 
      elemental spells of Water, Fire, and Lightning, but basically its 
      Water2.5, Fire2.5, and Lit2.5 because the damage done is between a 
      level 2 magic attack and a level 3 magic attack. Also his Smoke command 
      is used to run from battles except of course boss battles. At first it 
      might not seem useful because you can easily run away from enemies, but 
      enemies like EVIL MASK, Behemoth, or Red Dragons you cannot run away 
      from except with the use of Smoke. His Image magic is more of an effect 
      magic, he is the only one in the game who can cast it and it will allow 
      him to avoid attacks throughout the battle, making this essential for 
      boss fights. However it will not protect him against magic attacks as 
      you can expect.

      His SNEAK command allows him to steal items from opponents, but he will 
      rarely be successful at stealing and sometimes if he misses he will 
      lose very little HP like about 1-5 HP which should not bother you.

      His THROW command allows him to throw your weapons at him except for 
      Rods, Staffs, Bows, Arrows, and Whips. So it might be a good idea not 
      to sell some of your more powerful weapons and they should be saved 
      when your fight against hard bosses, and also most of the weapons he 
      throw causes critical hits!


=============================================================================
------------------------------- [ Edward ] ----------------------------------
=============================================================================

The Bard of Damcyan is a complete coward. He cares deeply for Anna as he runs 
off with Anna towards the castle of Damcyan but however their luck runs out 
as the Red Wings of Baron attack and demolish the castle of Damcyan and Anna 
as well is fatally injured. After Anna's death Edward joins and helps Cecil 
find the Sandruby to help cure Rosa's high fever.

NOTE: When you use the Sing command the special added effect of the Harp 
      Edward is equipped with will try and negatively effect his opponent.   
      Like using negative status effects like Confuse or Sleep. 

      When Edward's HP is low he will automatically Hide because like the 
      coward that he is when he is near fatal he will run and hide. But you 
      can still command him but the only command he can use is Show, he will 
      appear in battle however but then quickly run away. Also he will still 
      recieve expierience points even though he did not participate in 
      battle, pretty cheap huh!

      Edward's Heal command is not really all that great. At first I thought 
      he can just do it anytime he wants but it will cost you one of your 
      Keal Potions(Cure in U.S.), but he is the only one who can spread 
      potions.

      The command SING can only be used by Edward, Edward will sing out a    
      random tune that will have a status effect on the opponent, either     
      being CHARM, SLEEP, MUTE, or CURSE. However it will take a few tries   
      for Edward to be successful, and this also is not an attack and will  
      not damage opponents. The type of Harp you have will determine what
      comes out as the status effect.

=============================================================================
-------------------------------- [ FySoYa ] ---------------------------------
=============================================================================

The Lunarian of the moon possesses powerful magic that can send chills down
anyone's spine. He will agree to help Cecil when they meet him on the moon
and he will break Golbez(Golbeze in Japan) out of the mysterious mind 
control. He is kind hearted and is a dependable character that you can rely
on.

NOTE: FuSoya knows every WHITE and BLACK magic in the book when you aquire 
      him.


=============================================================================
-------------------------------- [ Kain ] -----------------------------------
=============================================================================

The Commander of the Dragoon Knights of Baron is a loyal friend of Cecil.
While he trains daily to perfect his skills as a Dragoon he still seeks to be 
one day a true Dragoon Knight. With his kind heart he aids Cecil in his 
journey to the Town of Mist while losing his Command of the Dragoon Knights. 
He is constantly under the power of Golbez as he cannot break free of 
Golbez's constant curse and sometimes has a unknown love for Rosa.

NOTE: Kain's Jump attack is probably the single most strongest physical 
      attack in the game. Although he cannot equip a Sword he can do serious 
      damage with a Spear. If he is equipped with a Spear he does double the 
      damage of his Fight command.

      When Kain jumps it takes awhile for him to attack his target and will 
      consume about 1.5 turns as it would normally take to attack regularly. 
      So if your party's HP is low and your fighting against a powerful boss 
      and you need to kill him quick before he kills your party then Jumping 
      is not always the best option.


=============================================================================
-------------------------------- [ Palom ] ----------------------------------
=============================================================================

Being an apprentice he only knows a few spells of Black Magic. He has a 
boastful mouth and is extremely rude. Instructions from the Elder in Mysidia 
his job is to spy on Cecil to see if he can live up to his words and if he 
was to become evil then it was to be his job to destroy Cecil. Although the 
magic he has are quite elementary they should help Cecil early on.

NOTE: The Twin attack can only be done by both Palom and Porom. If one of 
      them is critically wounded(dead) then the Magic attack will not work. 
      The Magic attack is unpredictable but there are only two spells they 
      can cast. 
      Comet: 20 MP Each
             Hundreds of Stars come pouring in on opponents doing critical 
             damage. This attack hits all opponents and it cannot be 
             reflected. Each single hit is stronger than that of Flare and
             also there is a 1-in-4 chance of this being cast.
      Flare: 10 MP Each
             A burst of Nuclear Energy is exploded towards an opponent doing
             excellent damage. This attack can be reflected however and the
             single hit is less than a single hit of Comet.

      The Boast command is used to raise his magic Power, but this only works 
      during battle. However it raises his magic power by very little and 
      will need to be used serveral times before you see any significant 
      results.

=============================================================================
-------------------------------- [ Porom ] ----------------------------------
=============================================================================

Also being an apprentice she only knows a few spells of White Magic. Just 
like Palom she was intructed by the Elder to spy on Cecil and if Cecil was to 
become evil she was ordered to destroy Cecil because of his past sins. She is 
very polite and often has to remind her brother to behave and although she 
only knows elemental White Magic she can aid her party by using healing and 
curing spells that should help Cecil early on.

NOTE: The Twin attack can only be done by both Palom and Porom. If one of 
      them is critically wounded(dead) then the Magic attack will not work. 
      The Magic attack is unpredictable but there are only two spells they 
      can cast. 
      Comet: 20 MP Each
             Hundreds of Stars come pouring in on opponents doing critical 
             damage. This attack hits all opponents and it cannot be 
             reflected. Each single hit is stronger than that of Flare and
             also there is a 1-in-4 chance of this being cast.
      Flare: 10 MP Each
             A burst of Nuclear Energy is exploded towards an opponent doing
             excellent damage. This attack can be reflected however and the
             single hit is less than a single hit of Comet.

      The Tears command is still questionable to me. To be honest I'm not 
      sure what it really does. Once she uses this command the opponents 
      become startled or at least that's what the message box at the top 
      says. I think it lowers the opponents' defense and she will need to use 
      this serveral times to get some significant results.


=============================================================================
-------------------------------- [ Rosa ] -----------------------------------
=============================================================================

The White Mage of Baron and girlfriend of Cecil. She constantly is at the  
side of Cecil at tough times and often tries to help cheer up her friends as 
well. As being Cecil's girlfriend she is captured by Golbez and hopes that 
Cecil will come for her. She is also an expert at using Bow and Arrows along 
with using White Magic to heal her allies incase of critical or servere 
unjury.

NOTE: Whenever you are equipped with a Bow and Arrow make sure you put the 
      Bow on the opposite hand, for example if Rosa is Right handed put the 
      Bow on her Left Hand and the arrows on her left hand so that your 
      attack power can significantly increase. This goes the same for all 
      characters liable to use a Bow and Arrow(Cecil, Rosa, Palom, Porom, and 
      Rydia).

      Whenever you are equipped with both a Bow and Arrow you should always 
      use the aim command. This allows Rosa to have a higher accuracy rate as 
      well as a stronger punch towards her opponent.

      As you might have guessed it, buying Arrows can get pretty steap 
      because evetually you will have to refill her Arrows as she runs out.
      When all of her Arrow supply is depleted she will have to use her fists       
      to attack or use a staff.


=============================================================================
-------------------------------- [ Rydia ] ----------------------------------
=============================================================================

When she was just a young child Kain and Cecil accidentally brings forth a
package(Bomb Ring in Japan) that destroys her hometown. She also loses her
mother because Kain and Cecil kills the Mist. Meaning that if the Monster
summoned is slayed that means that the Summoner also loses his or her life.
She hates Cecil and Kain for what they have done and summons a monster that
creates a massive earthquake that swallows up Kain. She is also injured by 
the occurance and Cecil brings her to Kaipo to help her heal her wounds. He
feels that is the least he can do for all the pain and suffering he has 
caused her. During his overnight rest Guards from Baron were sent to kill
all Summoners by order of the King of Baron(Odin). Cecil reluctantly 
refuses and attacks and slays the Guards and Rydia realizes that he did not
mean to kill his mother or burn her town but she still doesn't forgive him.
Later she will become more powerful in her Magic but her HP and Defense
remains extremely low throughout the game.

NOTE: Rydia will lose her ability to use White Magic after you meet her 
      again in the Underground World.

      First appeared in the release of Final Fantasy 3 for the Famicom Summon      
      magic is very powerful at times and also there is no defense against it 
      meaning that no Wall will be able to bounce back the attack.

      Rydia can learn the strongest attack in the game which is METEO when  
      she is at level 60. Note though, it takes a long while for METEO to
      come out and under some circumstances, it shouldn't be used at all.


=============================================================================
-------------------------------- [ Tellah ] ---------------------------------
=============================================================================

The legendary Sage of Mysidia swears revenge on the death of his beloved 
Daughter Anna. At first he blames and attacks Edward and runs off on his 
own after Anna's last words. Later after his visit on Mt.Ordeals he realizes 
who the real threat is and who killed his daughter, Golbez. While at first he 
only knows basic Black and White magic, but after his encounter with Mt. 
Ordeals he remembers all the lost magic, but his MP still remains low 
limiting his uses of high power magic. He also remembers Meteo, and when 
Meteo is unsealed that means the age of Apocaplypse is near. Also he cannot 
use Meteo because his MP is too low to cast it.

NOTE: After Tellah's encounter with Mt. Ordeals his White and Black magic   
      level will be significantly higher so now he can cast hard hitting 
      spells like Virus or Fire3.

=============================================================================
--------------------------------- [ Yang ] ----------------------------------
=============================================================================

The expert Karate Master(a Monk in the Japaneese version) martial artist is 
the prince of Fabul with powerful attacks that can easily sway battles in the 
party's direction. The party first encounters Yang during their trip to Mt. 
Hobs as Yang was suddenly attacked by Golbez's minions. Yang easily took care 
of the minions but the Commander that was leading the minions did not look 
like he would be taken down easily, but that's when the party decided to 
help. With Yang's numerous abilities and his lethal attacks its always a good 
option to keep him upfront.

NOTE: Dont' bother using the Build Command with Yang. It takes up three 
      turns for him to do an attack that does equal damage as if he wasn't  
      using the Build command. However it does raise your chance of 
      doubling your attack power, but only if you lucky and its pretty rare 
      if that ever happens.

      Also don't bother using the Endur command either. Although it says his 
      defense is raised it is only raised by one point each time and it takes 
      two turns for him to use it and will leave him open to attack.
      Also his Kick command will hit all enemies but his overall attack power 
      will be averaged depending on how many enemies there are, so each hit 
      will not result in his normal attack power, so unless there are three 
      or more opponents just use Yang's fight command instead.



=============================================================================
------------------------ [ General and Basic Tips ] -------------------------
=============================================================================

-- You should try to safe often. You'll never know what lies around the 
   corner.

-- Always try to keep a constant supply of items. Stuff like Cure Potions or 
   Tents and Cabins, because most likely your magic will run dry.

-- You might not always have the best equipment on and sometimes the prices 
   can get fairly steep. You should always stay near a save point or a town 
   and wander around and fight enemies for gold, that way you won't be too 
   far off from your resting point incase enemies give you some trouble.

-- Having trouble against a boss? Having the newest equipment is not always 
   the best choice. If you are fighting against Rubicant and you so happen to
   have the Fire Brand sword then what good will it do you if you just keep 
   healing him? Also some bosses might not have weaknesses and you will have
   to start gaining some levels before you fight the boss. Also are your 
   rows properly straightened out? Always place fighters up front and magic
   users or people with low defense in the back, that way you can have more 
   of a balanced approach when fighting against bosses or enemies.

-- If you can heal outside of battle, you should use your magic instead of 
   your items. Items don't come back after use and you will need gold to buy
   more items. However magic can be replenished at save points, inns, or 
   using your Ethers.

-- Try not to run from battle too often, incases you'll end up losing alot
   of gold. Also enemies that are stronger than you, you'll lose more gold 
   from them if you run away. You might not always lose gold, but do it too
   often you probably won't have enough to buy yourself the latest armor or
   even give yourself a good night's rest.

-- Bows and Arrows are weapons that don't lose strength when your in the 
   back row but they have a very low hit percentage. Only Rosa can use aim
   and successfully attack the target at a higher percentage ratio. Also if 
   the person is left handed then put the bow on the right hand and arrows 
   on the left hand, this way your attack power can be higher than if the 
   bow was on the left hand. 

-- Believe it or not but Bows and Arrows can be the most expensive weapons in
   the game. Simply because you have to buy arrows over and over again 
   because as you can expect arrows don't have unlimited uses, so always try
   to keep an extra Rod or Staff in your inventory incase you run out of 
   arrows.

-- When ever you see treasure chests, try to save before you look in them or
   keep your party's HP up. Sometimes there are monsters inside those 
   treasure chests that will take quite a bit of work to defeat.

-- Keep consideration of your magic points. Using your most powerful magic to
   defeat opponents is not always the best way to end the battle often you
   won't have enough to replenish your party's HP.

-- Constantly keep your party's HP up. Unless you are a 100% sure you will
   be able to mop the floor with your enemies then you should always keep a 
   close eye on your HP.

-- Whenever you bring your party member back from a swoon status always have
   the next available person heal that party member because your party 
   member's HP will not regenerate themselves and the party member only 
   starts out with 15% of their max HP, so unless you have LIFE2 then I 
   suggest you should always have the next available person heal the party 
   member just back from the swoon status so you wouldn't have to risk that 
   party member suffering a blow that would put that person back on swoon 
   status. 

-- You can switch weapons during battle. Just go to your Item command and 
   scroll up and you will see the weapon or shield in your left and right
   hands. Hit A on the weapon you want to replace and go over the weapon in
   your inventory and press A. Be sure to make your decision quick otherwise
   an opponent can seriously damage your party members while you were looking
   for the best weapon, so make sure you have the most suited weapon before
   you enter battle.

-- When your selecting your magic, the Active Time Battle stops so take your
   time to decide which magic is best.

-- Also continously attack your opponent because unlike previous Final 
   Fantasy games you will be attacked even if you are not ready, so make 
   sure you attack quickly. Incase you still need some time to think you can
   always hit the Start button during battle to pause the game.

-- Keep magic users in the magic and fighters in the front, that way your 
   healers won't die so quickly. You can also do this during battle by 
   hitting the control pad left on the command box, but its only for the
   battle. To make this permanent(or until you decide to change it again) go 
   to your menu screen and hit change. Also you can switch the position of 
   your characters by using the Form command on the Menu Screen.

-- When you get turned into a Toad, Pig, or Mini your stats drop and you 
   cannot use magic. To reverse this status effect you can either sleep at an
   inn, use a Tent or Cabin, use your Heal spell, or you can cast that same
   status effect spell back on the character that was transformed. For 
   example if a party member was turned into a Mini status you can cast Mini 
   again to change that person back.

-- Always check pots or other things that can carry items besides treasure 
   chests, although most of the things you find are just Potions, you should
   pick them up anyways because hey, they're free!

-- If this is your first time playing an RPG game or Final Fantasy game for
   that matter then I suggest you go to the Training Room in the Town of 
   Baron to gather up information about the basics of the game. Learning the
   basics of the game will help you learn some of the more advance and 
   complex features of the games and also most other RPGs.

-- Try to keep all weapons you find that normally are not sold at weapons 
   shops, also armors, they can help you out in future battles or when your
   Bow and Arrow users run out of Bows and they need a new weapon to use 
   in the middle of battles.

-- Riding Chocobos is a fun way to move across town to town, but if your
   riding Chocobos enemies can't attack you, so your better off that way
   right? Wrong. Riding Chocobos mean that you do not gain any expierience
   points or GOLD from the enemies you would have fought. So when your 
   losing battles or when you do not have enough money for equipment then 
   you will realize that riding chocobos is not a good idea, but however if
   you are low on life and your magic is out and your cure supplies are gone
   not to mention TENTs and CABINs then it would be a good idea to make it to
   the next town without fighting any random encounters.

-- If you haven't noticed it, your levels are divided among your party
   members. Sometimes it might take a long while to gain levels, but there is
   an easy way to gain expierience quickly. Say you have five party members 
   in your group and Cecil needs to reach level 99. First off you kill the 
   other four party members besides Cecil. Hopefully Cecil is strong enough 
   to fight on his own, then have Cecil fight any random encounters, its best 
   if he fights opponents like the EVIL MASK or BLUE DRAGON. Here just have 
   Cecil win, at first it might seem like a struggle, but Cecil will gain 
   levels 5 times faster than before because his party members' expierience 
   points are given to Cecil because his other party members did not 
   participate in battle.

-- Finally, last but not least talk to everybody in town, you never know what
   you might expect.


=============================================================================
---------------------- [ Final Fantasy IV Walkthrough ] ---------------------
=============================================================================


  The infamous air fleet of Baron is on their way back to Baron after taking
  the Water Crystal of Mysidia. As the fleet heads back Cecil thinks about
  his actions against the innocent people of Mysidia. He takes the lives of 
  innocent people so that the King of Baron can have the Water Crystal, but
  for what purpose? Before the Elder of Mysidia gives the Water Crystal to 
  Cecil, Cecil's men had killed innocent lives to get his demand. His men 
  also share Cecil's regret, but Cecil knows that the King took Cecil in when
  he was a young orphan and he cannot disobey the King's orders. Suddenly 
  the fleet is attacked by a horde of monsters that appear out of nowhere. 
  Cecil easily dismantles the monsters and his crew suffered only minor 
  injuries. Why are so many monsters appearing now these days? Where do they
  come from? After the battles with the monsters the fleet heads back to 
  Baron. Here he hands the King the Crystal, as Baigan(Beigan in Japan) talks 
  to the King Cecil questions the King's orders. The King is furious and 
  relieves Cecil as commander of the Red Wings, Kain overhears and tries to 
  defend Cecil, but he too is asked to go with Cecil. Before he leaves Cecil 
  and Kain is given a package(Bomb Ring in Japan) to deliver to the Village 
  of Mist, and they do not know what is inside the package. Once you leave 
  the King's throne Kain thinks that after Cecil completes this mission the 
  King will restore Cecil as Commander of the Red Wings again, but for now 
  Kain tells Cecil to get some rest for tommorow.



THE NIGHT BEFORE THE JOURNEY     Party's level: 10
  After the scenario you can talk to Kain if you want. You'll know why Cecil
  has decided to wield the Dark Sword, because the King of Baron had asked 
  him to do so. Now head down into the next room, on the right side of the 
  screen is a door with a switch that will open a room with three treasure 
  chest, one is 300 Gold(Gil in Japan), another one is a CURE1 POTION, and 
  the other is a TENT. Now head to the left side, after that just head 
  towards the stairs, in this room you'll see Rosa who comes and tries to 
  talk to Cecil, Cecil is somewhat disturbed by the recent event and Rosa 
  wishes to see Cecil later. For now just continue on. Once your outside head 
  for the tower on the left side above you, but before you can reach the 
  tower Cid, the Chief Engineer of Baron sees you and wishes to talk to you. 
  Hear you'll get a brief history about Cid. He builds airships for Baron but 
  he doesn't like them to be used as weapons, and then he leaves because he 
  thinks his daughter might worry about him. Also you can choose to explore 
  the rest ofthe Castle if you want but you won't get very far due to the 
  fact that the guards around the Castle of Baron will not let you through 
  unless they have the King's orders. Once you reach the tower a maid will be 
  standing in front of your room to tell you that your sheets were made. When 
  your in your room just go up to the bed and the room will darken and Cecil 
  will take a rest. During the middle of the night Rosa will come to Cecil. 
  She seems questioned about Cecil's recent behavior. Cecil tells Rosa 
  that he feels alot of guilt about stealing from innocent people. Rosa is 
  shocked to hear this and Cecil vows that he will never again do undecent 
  acts among innocent people even if ordered the the King of Baron himself. 
  Now Cecil will tell Rosa to take a rest. Until the next morning the two 
  head off into the unknown land. For years Cecil and Kain have relied on the 
  transportation of the Red Wings, but now they must set foot into the 
  unknown. Here before Cecil and Kain leaves you'll see a prologue about the 
  things to come, Why has the King been behaving so differently? Why are 
  there so many monsters appearing lately? You don't have the answers right 
  now and you'll have to find them yourself.


TOWN OF BARON     Party's level: 10
  Once your outside to the sides of the Castle of Baron is the Twon of Baron.
  Inside hear there really isn't much to do except talk to the people and 
  gather information if you want, but right now its not neccessary. The door 
  on the left side of town is locked also the doors leading to the Weapons 
  and Armors shops are locked. You can't unlock them now, but what you can do 
  is go buy some items for your long journey ahead. What I would recommend is 
  buying two TENTS and buying three CURE1 POTIONS. You really don't need to 
  buy exactly what I say because the battles ahead really aren't that hard, 
  and if you want to stock up on more items you can fight battles outside. 
  the battles outside really won't give you much expierience points but they 
  can give you some good amounts of gold. Also there is a training room in 
  this town, if this is your first time playing an RPG I suggest you get to 
  know the basics first like I said before, so that it can help you advance 
  further into the game without much hassle. Also notice one of the students 
  telling you that Lightning damage is weak towards water opponents. Once 
  your done head north pass the bridges until you see a cave.


DANGERS LIE AHEAD IN THE CAVE OF MIST     Party's level: 10
  You'll notice that when you check your status that both Cecil and Kain are
  at level 10. Kain has to gain nearly double the expierience points to gain
  a level than Cecil has to, but for some reasons I'm not sure. You can gain
  levels by fighting monsters inside the Cave of Mist if you want, and if you
  do stay near the entrance and once your outside use a TENT to heal your
  wounds. If your too weak to fight anymore battles hold the L & R buttons
  down at the same time during battle to escape from battle. Once you have
  reached the entrance of the cave you can save the game if you want. When 
  your all set to go enter the cave and take the right side to find a ladder.
  In this cave you will also notice a fog or mist of some sort surrounding 
  the cave that's gives the cave a white transparent look. Be sure to collect 
  the treasure chests in here as there are two CURE POTIONS and two HEAL 
  POTIONS. Occasionally when you advance deeper into the cave of Mist you 
  Cecil and Kain will hear a voice telling them to go back. Dont' worry about 
  it, just keep advancing through until your near the exit. Once you've 
  reached near the exit the mysterious voice that is talking gives you a 
  second warning to leave, don't bother to listen just keep advancing. Once 
  you've reached the exit the mysterious voice will ask you one more time if 
  you want to leave, if you choose "No" you will not be able to advance but 
  if you choose "Yes" you will initiate a fight with the Summoned Monster.

--------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: D.MIST(Dragon Mist)      HP: 400
--------------------------------------------
  This boss fight shouldn't be too hard but I'm here to help incase your 
  stuck! First off just continue to attack the mist having Cecil pound the 
  Dragon with his regular attacks and having Kain Jump the Dragon. It 
  wouldn't be much use if Kain jumps the Dragon because it normal attack is 
  pretty weak anyways. Continue to attack the Dragon until it starts forming 
  into a Mist or when the message box on the top of the battle screen tells 
  you to stop. If you attack the Mist Dragon while it's in Mist form it will 
  counter attack with COLDMIST which is double the damage of its normal 
  attack and it hits both Cecil and Kain. For now when the Mist Dragon is in 
  Mist form just wait until the message box gives you the signal or when the 
  Mist starts to form back into a Dragon. When your HP falls below 60 use 
  your CURE1 POTIONS you have bought earlier to heal the wounded party member 
  and continue to attack. Repeat this process until you have defeated the 
  Mist Dragon. By now Cecil should have easily gained a level and don't be 
  surprised if Kain doesn't. Once your done head out of the Cave of Mist and 
  you can choose to save the game before entering the town of Mist. Before 
  you enter the Town of Mist make sure you deequip Kain. After you have saved 
  the game enter the Town of Mist.


THE PACKAGE REVEALS ITSELF!!     Party's level: 11
  When you reach inside the PACKAGE that the King told you to deliver 
  suddenly pops out to reveal fire monsters that sets the town of Mist on 
  fire. Cecil and Kain are shocked to see that the King of Baron would do 
  this. The little girl that is above Cecil and Kain is crying over the death 
  of her mother. Here Kain tells Cecil that killing the Summoned Monster also 
  kills the Summoner. Kain saids that both he and Cecil should be rid of the 
  little girl and Cecil is dumbfounded to hear what Kain has to say. Cecil 
  vows that he will not hurt innocent lives and Kain realizes what Cecil is 
  trying to do and says that whatever Cecil wishes to do Kain will always be 
  at his side. The little girl over hears the conversation between Cecil and 
  Kain and hates them for what they have done. Cecil and Kain tries to rescue 
  the girl out of the town before she is taken along with the town. The girl 
  refuses and Cecil and Kain have no choice but to take the little girl out 
  of the town by force. Here the girl initiates the battle, but there is 
  little that Cecil and Kain can do as the girl summons a Titan that rips the 
  ground apart sending Kain into the underground and most of town with it as 
  well. Afterwards Cecil finds the little girl unconsious and he decides to 
  help her to a near by town to help heal her wounds. Also you'll notice that 
  the mountains are caved in blocking your way back to Baron.


TOWARDS TO THE DESERT TOWN OF KAIPO     Party's level: 11
  After the scenario head towards the town of Kaipo which is found on the   
  south
  side of an oasis in the middle of the desert. Once inside Cecil helps the
  little girl by sending her to an inn. The innkeeper realizes that the girl
  is hurt and does not wish to charge Cecil any money. As the little girl 
  wakes up Cecil tries to talk to her but to no avail. Then the two take a 
  rest, during the middle of the night soldiers from Baron ask that Cecil 
  give the little girl to the King of Baron. Cecil refuses to give the girl 
  to the soldiers and he decides to defend the girl.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: OFFICER AND THREE SOLDIERS    HP: 30(Soldiers) 120(OFFICER)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Well this battle shouldn't be too hard, I'm not even sure if I'm suppose 
  to use the word hard at all! You can choose to take down the Officer if you
  want, but mainly focus your attention on the Soldiers(BaronGuard in Japan).
  If you take out the Soldiers first that means the Officer will just 
  retreat.
  However if you do manage to take down the Officer along with the Soldiers
  you will recieve a significant amount of expierience points.

  After the battle, the little girl will realize that you were trying to 
  protect her. Cecil can't ask for her forgiveness, but the least he can do
  is try to protect her. She tells Cecil her name which is Rydia. She's at
  level 1 with very little HP and MP. At first she doesn't know any WHITE 
  or BLACK magic but later after gaining a level or two she will learn some 
  basic BLACK and WHITE magic. Afterwards heads towards the northeast side 
  of the town of Kaipo and in the room you'll find Rosa, who is serverely
  sick and can barely speak. She has an extremely high fever and the only
  thing that can cure her condition is the Sandruby located in the cave of
  the Antlion. For now head outside and look for a weapons shop. By a Bow
  for Rydia amd about 25 Iron Arrows. In the armor shop you do not need to
  buy anything because Rydia is equipped with all the armor the store has to
  offer, but if you want buy the extra CAP HELMET for now. When your done
  leave the town and head northeast towards a cave. Now is the ideal time
  to save your game.


SEARCH FOR THE SANDRUBY     Party's level: 11
  Once you have reached inside go up and take both treasures in the 
  treasure chest which is a HEAL AND CURE1 POTION. Now head to the left 
  side and you'll see an old man near the end of a bridge, first take the 
  treasure chest below you which is a TENT and talk to the old man. He will
  tell you that a Bard has tricked his daughter into running away with him
  at Damcyan, coincidentally where Cecil and Rydia is headed to find the
  Sandruby to heal Rosa's high fever. Afterwards Tellah the Sage will join 
  your party and he will need the help of the Black Sword to defeat the 
  monster that dwells in the waterfalls. Surprisingly Tellah's stats are
  higher than Cecil's. Tellah's knowledge of both BLACK AND WHITE magic 
  should help back up Rydia as she is just learning her magic potiential. 
  However this is just the icing on the cake because Tellah has lost most of
  his knowledge of the stronger spells. Also Tellah's MPs are pretty high as
  of now, but even if you gain him levels his MP will not rise also he is at
  level 20 with about 340 HP, but he cannot attack very well with weapons. 
  Here
  continue on but don't forget the treasure chest to the right, you'll need 
  to
  enter the waters to retrieve the treasure chest. Inside the treasure chest
  is an IRONRING. Equip it on Tellah and also the Cap you bought earlier at 
  Kaipo. Now continue on back and make your way to the next room. In this 
  next
  room head up and you'll have to walk in the water again(which is harmless)
  and then make your way to the left side and pick up yet another CURE1 
  POTION. Now continue along down and take the next ladder, to the left of
  this room is an ETHER1. Afterwards just amke your way to the room to the 
  left side. Here in this room, luckily Tellah already has a TENT, so you
  won't need to worry about using one of your own. Here you will see Rydia
  sleeping and Cecil and Tellah have a quiet conversation. Tellah notes that
  he sees alot of potiential in Rydia and he will also give you a brief 
  rundown about why his daughter Anna has run away. Anna is his only child
  and she ran away with the Bard because Tellah would not agree to his 
  daughter Anna's marriage. After the little scenario you will be given the
  chance to save, your wounds are fully healed and your magic points are 
  completely restored. Now would probably be a good time to save. When you 
  head out of this save room continue on and don't forget to take a look 
  inside the treasure chest to the right to pick up an ICEROD. Afterwards 
  make
  your way through to the middle of the room and enter through. In this next
  room there really isn't much here except for a CURE1 POTION, also you will
  see some regions of the room that are oddly shaded with a black color. Go 
  through that region and go towards the right, on the right side is a 
  LEATHER
  HELMET, its hidden but at the same time its not hidden because its kinda 
  conspicuous that the area is shaded. You will encounter alot of these 
  throughout the game, but if you so happen to have the Japanees version of 
  this game then the hidden areas are covered up. After you have equipped the
  LEATHER HELMET move onto the next room. Here in this room you'll see the 
  vast region below you, don't worry you can't fall off because it would be
  stupid if you could anyways. To the left are two ETHER1's and to the right
  at the bottom is a yet again, another CURE1 POTION, also pickup the 
  DARKNESS sword for Cecil. It will boost his Attack power by ten raising it
  from 17 to 27, which is a significant boost. Before you leave this room 
  Tellah will tell you that the monster is just ahead on the other cave and
  there's an area outside which you can save. You should make it a point to 
  save the game now.


8-LEGGED OBSTACLE     Part's level 13
  Once you enter this cave just keep going right, there is only two treasure
  chest in this room one is an ETHER1 POTION and the other one is another 
  DARKNESS equipment for Cecil. Equip the new piece of armor and continue on.
  Also in this room are only two treasure chests. Both of them contain 
  DARKNESS
  equipment for Cecil, equip those on and head towards the middle of the
  waterfall to engage in a battle that was foretold by Tellah the Sage.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: OCTOMAMM       HP: 1400
-----------------------------------
  Although there are eight parts to OCTOMAMM he is still only going to be
  one target. At first OCTOMAMM can attack rather fast, but as you start to
  attack he will begin to slow down. Here have Rydia attack with her CHOCO 
  summon or you can lose LIT1, but Rydia learns LIT1 at level 5 so incase 
  your
  levels with Rydia are not up there yet, then just stick with the CHOCO 
  summon, which will do more damage than her LIT1 attack, and have Tellah
  attack with LIT1. Cecil's attacks should do quite a bit of damage against
  OCTOMAMM, probably about 130 HP of damage with each hit. As you continue to
  attack you will notice that each leg of OCTOMAMM dies, so I think that 
  every
  150 HP you lose OCTOMAMM he will die, except for his last leg which is 
  about 350 HP. This boss fight shouldn't be too hard and when you hear 
  Tellah
  saying that you have slowed down the monster your about near victory.

  After the boss fight head through the waterfall and onto your next 
  destination, the Castle of Damcyan. Also its not a bad idea to save here
  after your battle with OCTOMAMM, but don't bother using a TENT.


UNEXPECTED SURPRISE BY THE RED WINGS     Party's level:14
  Before you reach the Castle of Damcyan the Red Wings come out of nowhere 
  and bombard the castle reducing it to a pile of rubble. Here just enter 
  the castle. Midway through you will see a room full of treasure chest, 
  all of them are already opened except one on the top of the room, open that
  treasure chest to obtain a TENT and continue on towards the center of the
  castle of Damcyan. Upon entering the castle you will see the remains of the
  once beautiful castle of Damcyan and also the downed guards. Once you have
  reached the center of the castle you will see Tellah's only daughter Anna
  lying on the floor almost dying. Tellah becomes enraged as he attacks
  the "Spoony  Bard." You can't control this battle and everything the Bard
  is trying to say Tellah ignores, when Anna speaks Tellah comes to his 
  senses and stops his attack against the Bard. Here Anna explains what had
  happened, it appears that when Edward and Anna was about to leave they were
  attacked by the Red Wings of Baron, also they had taken the Crystal of 
  Fire. Anna explains that Edward is the prince of Damcyan and he was 
  disguised as a Bard so that he can go to Kaipo and find Anna. Anna saved
  Edward's life by shielding him from the arrows that were brought upon by 
  the Red Wings fleet. Afterwards Anna dies and Tellah is once again enraged,
  he wishes to take vengence upon the one called Golbez, who led the Red 
  Wings' attack against Damcyan. Cecil says he can't go alone but Tellah is
  too fustrated and angry to listen and he goes off on his own. Here Edward
  cries over Anna's death and Rydia calls him a "Crybaby!" she tells him that
  he is not the only one who has lost the ones he loved and tells him that he
  is a grown man. Edward does not care and he wishes to stay with Anna, 
  Cecil comes over and literally knocks some sense into him. He tells Edward
  that Anna would not like it if he was just to stay here and Cecil 
  desprately
  needs Edward's help. Edward wonders how he can help and Cecil tells him 
  that
  he needs to find the Sandruby to cure Rosa's fever. Edward tells him that
  he has a Hovercraft and with it you can reach the cave of the Antlion. 
  Before the party leaves out of the castle, Edward comes and says the final
  goodbye before leaving to help his new friends. Once your outside you can 
  get off your Hovercraft by pressing the A button and re-entering the 
  castle, if you have bothered to talk to the guards you'll notice that one
  of them said that a recovery pot is above, the guard that told you that was
  in the same room you got the tent. Once you've reached inside the middle of
  the caslte you'll notice that all the down guards are gone, the pot on the
  left will completely heal your party members and also reverse any negative
  status effects, also you don't have to talk to the two mages that are 
  around the pot since they won't give you any info that you already don't
  know. The pot to the left will completely restore your loss MP. Once your
  done head out to your Hovercraft.


THE ANTLION'S CAVE AND THE SANDRUBY     Party's level:14
  From Damcyan go northeast through the shallow rocks and you should find
  another part of the continent. When you reach this place you will see Mt.
  Hobs, when you enter Mt. Hobs a thick block of Ice blocks the way, for now
  there is nothing you can do here. Now head down into the cave below. You 
  should save it right now because the enemies inside are pretty strong. 
  Inside here there are several treasure chests. To the left side of the cave
  is a CURE1 POTION and 190 Gold, to the right of the cave is 210 Gold and a
  CURE1 POTION. Towards the bottom left of the cave is a TENT and a CURE1 
  POTION yet again. After you have collected the six treasure chests head
  down to the bottom right. In this next room you will find a your first 
  LIFE POTION of the game in the treasure chest below, the door next to it
  contains Edward's strongest harp, the CHARM HARP. Equip it on Edward 
  because it doubles his attack power, afterwards ignore the obvious hidden
  area below you and go up towards the door, the treasure chest above the
  door contains a HEAL POTION. Go into the door and when your in the next
  room go into the door and you will see a save point and also three 
  treasure chests, collect the LIFE POTION, ETHER1, and the TENT from the
  three treasure chests and save and heal your wounds if any. Now continue
  back to the room before and head to the left side to pick up 250 Gold(gil
  in Japan) and head towards the center of the room and into the Antlion's
  nest. Here there is basically nothing in here except for the SANDRUBY,
  the unique structure forms around the center of the Antlion's nest, just
  head towards the center of the room and you will see Edward stop. He will
  casually take try to take the SANDRUBY from the Antlion but the Antlion 
  snaps and attacks Edward, Cecil and Rydia intervene.

-----------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: ANTLION      HP: 1000      ITEM: SANDRUBY
-----------------------------------------------------
  This boss fight is fairly easy, but a few mistakes can cost you. Here the
  Antlion attacks are nothing to worry about because they only do 1 HP of
  damage, but watch for the COUNTER attack. There isn't much you can do 
  about this because each time you attack him with a Physical attack he will
  counter. Each one of those counter hits are about 21 HP of damage which can
  be very serious towards Rydia and Edward because Edward starts out at level
  5 with 60 HP and three shots can easily swoon him. But Cecil's attacks are 
  too strong to pass up so just have Cecil constantly attack the ANTLION, 
  have
  Rydia use her CHOCO summon and Edward be the healer and part time attacker.
  Once your HP starts to drop below 40, you should consider using CURE1 
  POTIONS to help keep your HPs up. After a while you should be rid of the
  ANTLION and obtain the SANDRUBY.

  Afterwards Edward will question why the ANTLION has attacked him. Cecil 
  reveals that there are too many monsters appearing these days and the 
  ANTLION must defend itself. Afterwards you should head out of the cave and
  back to the desert town Kaipo. With your newly aquired Hovercraft you can
  reach the desert town of Kaipo rather easily by going all the way to the 
  west side and you will see shallow rocks that the Hovercraft can travel by. 


RETURN TO THE DESERT TOWN OF KAIPO     Party's level: 15
  Here return to the house you saw Rosa in earlier. When you enter here
  talk to Rosa and your item box will appear, hit the "A" button over the
  SANDRUBY to use the SANDRUBY over Rosa. Here she will awaken and she will
  tell you about Golbez controlling all of the nation of Baron. She also
  tells you about the Crystal of Air and Crystal of Earth. The Crystal of
  Fire is already in the hands of Golbez, and Rosa wishes to join Cecil, but
  Cecil refuses. Rosa followed Cecil because she heard that Cecil was
  swallowed by the earthquake in the Village of Mist. Also she points out
  that the Crystal of Air is towards Fabul, but right now they need to get
  over Mt.Hobs which is covered by a thick block of Ice, she asked Rydia to
  cast fire but Rydia hesitates and saids she can not cast fire. Afterwards
  Edward realizes that Rosa wants to be with Cecil and he convinces Cecil to
  bring her along. Here Cecil tells Rosa to get a good night's sleep before
  they go. Here  in the middle of the night Edward goes out and plays a tune
  in memory of Anna. During the middle of his play he is attacked by a 
  WaterHag.

----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: WATERHAG        HP: 60
----------------------------------
  Here Edward must fight this battle alone, Anna will help guide Edward
  towards victory as Edward should be able to easily conquer this battle.
  Just have Edward constantly attack and the WATERHAG should be gone.

  Afterwards Anna tells Edward that she must leave, but Edward doesn't want
  to be alone, but she tells him to give the love he gave to Anna to all his
  people. Here Anna leaves and Edward questions himself as what he is suppose
  to do. Before you leave make sure you stock up on a good amount of Arrows
  for Rosa and Rydia(if you have bought Bow and Arrows for Rydia earlier),
  Rosa starts off at level 10 with 150 HP, but her defense is still weak so
  keep her in the backrow. Now head back to Mt.Hobs via the Hovercraft, which
  is northeast of the Antlion's nest.


THE JOURNEY OF FABUL THROUGH MT.HOBS     Party's level: 15
  Here there is the thick block of Ice that I told you about earlier. 
  Rosa asks Rydia to cast Fire but she can't. Rydia will not cast fire
  because she is afraid of fire because it burned her home down, but Rosa
  tells Rydia that she believes in her and she is the only one who can
  melt the Ice blocking the entrance of Mt.Hobs. She persuades Rydia to use
  fire because she tells her that if they don't get through many more people
  will be in danger, here Rydia sums up all her inner strength and casts 
  fire,
  the Ice block of Mt. Hobs melts and Rydia has now learned FIRE1. Afterwards
  the party thanks Rydia. For now continue on towards the mountain. When you
  first see a door, take the door and you will be on the side of a mountain
  with a save point and four treasure chests, they contain a TENT, CURE1
  POTION, HEAL POTION, and 350 Gold. Save your game and heal your wounds if
  any and continue on back to the right side of the mountain. Also take a 
  chance to look down at the valley below, despite it being 16-bits it looks
  quite breathtaking doesn't it? Now head to the Summit and you will see a
  Karate Master being attacked by a group of IMP CAPTAINs, the Karate Master
  easily dismantles them, but the MOMBOMB comes after him, the party realizes
  that it will be a difficult battle alone and they decide to help.

---------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: MOMBOMB      HP: 3200
---------------------------------
  Now this is what I'm talking about! 5 against 1! Despite your overpowering
  numbers this is still going to be a very difficult fight. Have Rydia use
  her CHOCB summon, have Cecil attack normally, have Rosa use her AIM 
  command, have Yang attack not Kick, and have Edward be your part time 
  Attacker and Healer. After you do about 1500 HP of damage the MOMBOMB will
  change form, just continue to attack and if your party's HP drops below 75,
  then keep them up there. The MOMBOMB will give you a warning when its about
  to explode, that is the sign to heal yourself if your HP is below 75. When
  it does Explode the party suffers extensive damage about 50-60 HP of damage
  to every character, quickly heal your party because your party's HP(besides
  Cecil) is still pretty low. Now it turns itself into 3 BOMBs and 3 
  GREYBOMBs.
  That's 6 targets for you to attack now, each one of the targets only have 
  100 HP and this time have Yang use his KICK command to attack all the BOMBs
  at once and continue your usual attack pattern. 

  Afterwards Yang thanks the party for helping him out in battle and they
  tell Yang that the Crystal of Air is in danger and they must protect it 
  before it goes into the hands of Golbez. Here they give each other a 
  briefing on their backgrounds and why they are willing to help Yang. It 
  appears that Yang is the only survivor of his forces and the people at 
  Fabul
  are still in training. After the little scenario go towards the east side 
  of
  the mountain and continue on, there are no treasure chests along the way as
  well. Once you have reached outside keep going east and past the mountains
  to find the Castle of Fabul. Here save and use a TENT just in front of the
  Castle before entering the castle.


DEFEND THE CASTLE OF FABUL NOW!!     Party's level: 16
  Here once you get inside keep going and you will see a Weapons/Armor shop
  to the right and the INN is on the left side. Go buy Yang an extra claw of
  your choice, buy Cecil all the available BLACK armor, helmet, and gloves.
  Sell any Shadow and Darkness equipment you may have and continue on towards
  the center of the castle. Here you will approach the King of Fabul. Yang 
  informs him about Golbez's forces and they must set up a defence(that's how
  its spelled in the game) immediately. The King of Fabul has trouble 
  trusting
  in Cecil because he is the Dark Knight of Baron, but Yang persuades the 
  King
  that Cecil and his friends came to his aid when he was attacked. Here 
  Prince
  Edward tells the King that he is glad to see him again but he tells the 
  King
  what he had lost and the King is sorry for his misunderstanding. Here the 
  King will ask you if you want to help defend the castle. If you choose 
  "no" 
  then you will be given time before the battle, if you choose "yes" the 
  battle
  will begin. Here you will only be a party of three, so Cecil, Yang, and 
  Edward is the castle's main defence(that's how they spell it in the game) 
  and Rosa and Rydia will be the healers of the wounded people of Fabul. Here 
  the three take stand at the entrance of Fabul as they prepare for battle. 
  Also make sure you can keep your HP during the middle of the battle because
  the battles keep going on and you will not be given time in between to heal
  yourself or your party members. Here after first battle defeat the FIGHTERS
  and ignore the General. After this first battle the RED WINGS of Baron 
  attack the castle and the party does not have any defense against the 
  airships so they must retreat back into the castle(lousy cheaters!). Here
  Yang apologizes for dragging Cecil and his friends into the war. But Cecil 
  tells him that it is not his fight alone and they haven't loss the battle
  yet. The next battle is a WEEPER, IMP CAPTAIN, and a WATERHAG. During these
  battles use Edward as your healer incase your party's HP are low. Here more
  monsters and soldiers from Baron come in and kill the guards near the 
  Weapons/Armor shop and the INN. The next battle will occur with the two
  FIGHTERs and a GENERAL, once again ignore the General and kill the 
  fighters.
  Here the party has to fall back. In the next room Yang tells his trainer to
  lock the doors, but what do you know, he was a monster all along! The next 
  battle is against the GARGOYLE, which shouldn't be too much trouble. 
  Afterwards keep a close check on your party's HP and await the next battle.
  Here its a battle against a WEEPER, WATERHAG, and an IMP CAPTAIN again. 
  Defeat them and as the party tries to pull back Edward slips and falls as 
  the soldiers of Baron come in. Here its another battle agains the two 
  FIGHTERs and the GENERAL, once again take out the two FIGHTERS and continue
  on, and your party's HP should be pretty low right now, so make sure you 
  heal
  first before you attack. Afterwards the party makes their last retreat back
  to the Crystal Room. Here Kain comes in and Cecil is shocked to see Kain 
  alive. Here Kain wants to fight Cecil and Cecil has no choice. Here you 
  shouldn't bother trying to fight Kain because he keeps using that JUMP 
  attack and it will knock you out in a few blows. Here afterwards Kain will 
  try to put Cecil out of his misery and Rosa comes in and tries to stop 
  Kain,
  but Kain is somehwat startled and then Golbez finally meets the party. Here
  Golbez knocks out both Edward and Yang, and commands Kain to take the 
  Crystal of Air which Kain happily ablodges. Here Golbez realizes that Rosa
  is important to Cecil and he kidnappes her and Kain tells Cecil he had a 
  narrow escape. Afterwards Rydia is helpless against Kain and she performs
  the CURE magic towards the party and they are revived out of their wounds.
  Here Yang will help Cecil this time, but Cecil's spirit has taken a hard
  punch. Now leave the Crystal room and to the right is an obvious switch,
  simply step over it and a door will open, leading to three treasure chests,
  containing a CURE1 POTION, BLACK SHIELD for Cecil, and a LIFE POTION. Also
  check the pot to the left to find a CURE1 POTION. Here head out and you 
  will
  see the staircase you entered from, but this time don't go to the 
  staircase,
  but there is a door at the bottom, go to the door and you will see two
  towers, take the tower to the left and enter. Also check the pots again and
  you will find a CURE1 POTION again, the treasure chests contain a HEAL
  POTION, CURE1 POTION, and a TENT. You can continue on if you want, the 
  floor
  above has a Namingway, which will change the name of your party at anytime
  you want. At the top of the tower is Yang's Wife, he will ask her if she is
  okay, and she will happily tel him as she whacked a soldier over the head
  with a frying pan! Now continue onto the top of the right tower and you
  will see the King in his bed, also be sure to pick up the treasure chest
  which contains a TENT. Now talk to the King of Fabul and leave. Now go to
  the INN and you will need to rest. As the party enters the INN they need to
  find a way to take the Crystal of Air back, but they need an Airship. Here
  the party finds out that Baron's main force is the RED WINGs, the sea is
  relatively weak. Yang asks about Kain and Cecil replies that he used
  to be his best friend, but now he is under the control of Golbez. Here Yang
  tells Cecil that the King will ahppily offer his ship to the party. In the
  morning the King of Fabul offers the BLACK sword left by the Dark Knight
  years ago, but it cannot stop True Evil. The ship the party asked for is to
  the east of Fabul. So exit the castle and outside you will find the ship
  that leads to Baron. Inside beofre Yang leaves, his wife says goodbye. Here
  the ship departs for Baron and during the middle of the voyage Yang asks
  what Cecil will do when he reaches Baron, he decides that they must find
  the Chief Engineer of Baron, who is Cid. Before the party can reach Baron
  the mythical Sea God Leviathan stops the party. So it is true! He does 
  exist!
  Here the waves come crashing on the party and Rydia is thrown out of the
  boat, Yang then goes after her to help save her, but both of them cannot
  save themselves. Here the ship gets sucked into the Whirlpool created by
  the Leviathan as the entire party is separated. Afterwards you will find
  Cecil alone on the beach, he wonders where the rest of his party is but
  to no avail.


THE TOWN OF MYSIDIA AWAITS     Party's level(Cecil): 17
  Here ignore the people because they will turn you into a Pig or Toad to
  avenge the death of their friends. Just in case you did not listen to me
  talk to the person who casted the spell on you again and you will be 
  changed back into your normal form. Now head towards the center of the town 
  and talk to the Elder of Mysidia. Here the Elder sees that Cecil has gotten 
  a taste of his own medecin, but he also tells Cecil that he cannot depend 
  on the Sword of Darkness if he wishes to achieve his goal. He tells him to 
  go to Mt.Ordeals, but warns Cecil that many have gone to Mt.Ordeals to 
  become a Paladin but none have come back yet. Before Cecil leaves the Elder 
  of Mysidia tells him that he will need two Wizards. Here Porom comes in but 
  Palom is nowhere to be found, then Palom pops out of thin air and appears. 
  here you already meet the giant ego of Palom and the politeness of Porom. 
  After the scenario go to the Weapons shop and buy Porom about 60 WHITE 
  ARROWS(HOLY ARROWS IN JAPAN) and buy Palom a FlameRod. Also buy Palom and 
  Porom every Gaea equipment you can buy and head out. When your out here 
  head towards the east, its a long walk to Mt. Ordeals so make sure you have 
  enough healing supplies as well. Also Porom the White Wizard starts out at 
  level 10 with 110 HP while Palom starts at level 10 with 100 HP, so you 
  might want to consider some level gaining before you head on.


CONFRONTATION AT MT. ORDEALS     Party's level: 17
  Here you will see fire blocking the way of the entrance of Mt. Ordeals.
  Afterwards Porom and Palom will knock out the fire, but a scenario comes.
  At this exact time at another destination Golbez summons Milon, the fiend 
  of Earth to stop Cecil. Here Kain wishes that he were to stop Cecil, but 
  Golbez refuses and asks him to watch over Rosa. After the scenario continue 
  on but don't for get to pick up two CURE1 POTIONs. Also monsters here are i
  in the undead category, so make sure you have plenty of WHITE ARROWS and 
  have plenty of MP to use FIRE magic. In the 3rd station you will once again 
  meet up Tellah. Here he explains why he came to Mt. Ordeals. He wishes to 
  learn METEO so that he can avenge his daughter, the twins realize who he 
  is, he is the Sage Mysidia has been raving about. Here Cecil tells him that 
  he came to Mt. Ordeals to become a Paladin. Afterwards Tellah joins your 
  party. Now continue on and in the next area be sure to pick up an ETHER1 
  and another ETHER1. Continue onto the Summit and you will a save point. 
  Save your game and heal your wounds. When you continue on the twins will 
  hear something, but Palom says its not him, when you encounter the bridge 
  you will face off against Milon, the Fiend of Earth. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: MILON and FOUR REVENANTS     HP: 2500(MILON) 120(REVENANT)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  This fight will drain you down quite a bit. Here have Palom use his FIRE2
  spell against everybody and have Tellah use his FIRE1 spell as well. Always
  have Cecil attack Milon. Use Porom as your healer. Also keep your HP up
  above 50 for the twins, above 100 for both Cecil and Tellah because MILON
  can and will use his LIT1 spell serveral times in a row, this is enough to
  weaken your party. Afterwards you should be rid of Milon. NOTE: PALOM MUST
  BE AT LEVEL 14 TO LEARN FIRE2.

  For now do not continue to go forward, but yet go back to the save point
  and save your game. Also don't forget to heal your wounds. Here switch the
  rows of your party members, putting Cecil in the back and Palom, Porom, and
  Tellah in the front. Now continue onto the bridge, but just as you try to
  reach the end of the mountain MILON once again attacks you. This time he
  back attacks you but luckily you switched rows, but for some odd reason you
  did not listen to me you can switch rows during the middle of your battle 
  by hitting the direction pad left on your command box. 

---------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: MILON Z.     HP: 3000
---------------------------------
  Here this battle shouldn't be too hard. Attack Milon with Cecil
  constantly, Milon will have alot of trouble harming Cecil because Cecil
  is in the Dark Armor. Have Palom use FIRE2 and Tellah use FIRE1. Porom
  should be the healer and if your party's HP is not low then let her attack
  with the WHITE ARROWs. This battle shouldn't be that hard. Afterwards 
  continue on, towards the cave of Mt. Ordeals.


  Don't bother healing yourself after this next battle because after this
  next event your party will be fully helaed. After the battle Cecil will
  see a reflection of himself in the mirror. The mysterious voice talks to
  Cecil, and suddenly Cecil becomes the legendary Paladin. Here the Dark
  Knight of Cecil's past comes out of the reflection, the other party
  members try to help but Cecil tells them that it is his fight alone.

----------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: DARK KNIGHT     HP: Infinite
----------------------------------------
  Here you will see the DARK KNIGHT use an unknown attack, that is if you
  have the American version. The DARK KNIGHT will constantly use his
  DragonWave attack, but read the message box, it tells you that you must
  not fight now. This battle is actually pretty easy, just have Cecil defend
  himself, what I mean is do not attack! Doing so makes the battle go on and
  on, because during the trial at Mt. Ordeals to become a Paladin you must
  accept the attacks from your other self. Just let the DARK KNIGHT attack
  Cecil three times and the DARK KNIGHT will be gone.

  After the boss fight Cecil is officially a Paladin now, his stats are
  significantly higher than those of a DARK KNIGHT and his HP is way up. Here
  Cecil wonders who was that light that kept calling him son. At the same 
  time Tellah learns all his past magic and the fabled legendary spell METEO. 
  Even though Tellah has learned METEO his MP's are still too low to cast 
  METEO successfully. Here the party leaves Mt. Ordeals, when your heading 
  out take a few battles to earn Cecil some levels. After one battle you can 
  find Cecil gaining 5 levels! Once you leave, outside you can save and use a
  TENT if your HPs are low. You do not have to take that long walk back to
  Mysidia because there is a small square shaped forest surrounded by another
  forest just south of Mt. Ordeals. Inside is a Chocobo Forest. Look for the
  fast moving White Chocobo, each time you talk to it, it will refill your
  entire MP. Also look for the large gap at the north part of the village
  and press the "A" button and it will smell like a Fat Chocobo. Use a CARROT
  if you have bought one and a Fat Chocobo will appear. There really isn't
  much to do here because all the Fat Chocobo will do is just store your
  items. So incase all your 46 slots are filled in your Item Box, you can 
  store your items here. Now talk to one of the yellow Chocobos and you will
  be able to ride one of the Chocobos. Here return to Mysidia, you really
  don't have to ride on a Chocobo you can just return back by walking if you
  want.


THE LEGEND OF MYSIDIA IS TRUE!     Party's level: 11
  Here just go to the middle of the town and talk to the Elder. Here the
  Elder is shocked and amazed to find that Cecil is a Paladin, also when
  you talk to the people of Mysidia they will no longer turn you into a Toad
  or Pig. Also the Elder admits his wrong doing by sending Palom and Porom
  to spy on Cecil, but he sees now that there was no need for that. The Elder
  is once again shocked and amazed to find the Legend of Mysidia written on
  the sword, it reads:
 
                          _________________________
                         |     One to be born      |
                         |      from a dragon      |
                         |    hoisting the light   |
                         |      and the dark       |
                         |     arises high up      |
                         |      in the sky to      |
                         |     the still land.     |
                         |  Veiling the moon with  |
                         |  the light of eternity  |
                         |        it brings        |
                         |     another promise     |
                         |   to mother earth with  |
                         |    a bounty and mercy.  |
                         ---------------------------

  On the Japaneese version it translates to something else, I forgot what it
  was, so if someone could tell me it would be nice.

  Afterwards Tellah and Cecil are about to part for Baron as the Elder of
  Mysidia has opened up the Serpant Road(Devil's Road in Japan) to travel to
  Baron. Before the two leaves Palom and Porom wishes to join Cecil, but the
  Elder tells them that their job is done, but they still wish to help Cecil.
  Then the twins finally convince the Elder. The Serpant's road is to the 
  right of the town, before you leave make sure you buy all the Paladin 
  equipment for Cecil. They are quite costly but if you had fought every 
  battle you encountered along the trip you should have had more than enough. 
  Also buy some equipment for Tellah because he is poorly equipped. 
  Afterwards head for the Serpant Road and continue your way to Baron.


DE-THRONE THE KING OF BARON     Party's Level: 11
  When you arrive here you will be at the town of Baron, make sure you go to
  the Inn first, but before you go in, check the pot to the right outside of
  the Inn to collect a CURE1 POTION and collect the items in the stored room
  inside the Inn, the switch is the two crossed swords, you should get a 
  CURE1 POTION, HEAL POTION, and a LIFE POTION. Afterwards talk to Yang and 
  the guards around him will attack you.

------------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: GUARD(BARONGUARD in Japan)   HP: 200(each)
------------------------------------------------------
  This fight won't take long, but the attacks of the GUARDs can be pretty
  damaging. Also watch out when they try to cast SIZE on one of your party
  members, quickly HEAL that person that is changed by using the HEAL POTION
  or HEAL spell. They can attack very hard, even if Cecil has all of his
  Paladin equipment they can still do about 100+ HP of damage. Try to finish
  them off as quick as possible.

  After the battle you will still hear the boss music, this time Yang will
  attack your party.

--------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: KARATE      HP: 3000
--------------------------------
  This fight can be pretty hard, but with Tellah's newly aquired magic you
  should even things up. Here Yang will always use his KICK command, it will
  do quite a bit of damage to all your party members, have Tellah attack with
  LIT3 and Palom attack with FIRE2, and have Cecil attack with his normal
  attacks and have Porom be your healer. Quickly dispose of Yang so that you
  do not suffer extensive damage.

  After the battle Yand will come to his senses, it appears that he was
  under the influnce of Golbez's powerful mind control and he will tell Cecil
  what had happened to Rydia and Edward. He does not know what happened to
  Edward but Rydia was swallowed up by the Leviathan. After the scenario the
  two decide to talk at the inn so that the guards won't hear them. The 
  innkeeper will let you stay for free because you have gotten rid of the 
  guards, in the Japaneese version the innkeeper saids "you kicked some a**!"
  "I like your style" and he will also let you stay for free. In the Inn they
  discuss plans of how to free Cid, they realize that they have to break into
  the castle of Baron but the guards won't let them through. Also Yang has 
  the
  Key of Baron that was given to him while he was commander of the guards. 
  Here with the KEY OF BARON use it to unlock the weapons and armor shops. 
  Yang is poorly equipped so buy him all the neccessary equipment, and you 
  might need to fight a few battles before you go on. After you are done go 
  to the left side of town and you will see a locked door, unlock it and 
  enter through.

RAID ON THE CASTLE OF BARON VIA THE OLD WATER WAY     Party's level: 11
  Once you enter through here the enemies are quite strong, but luckily you
  listened to me and bought all those equipment for Yang right? When you 
  first enter here go to the bottom of the water way and collect three 
  treasure chests which contain a CURE2 POTION, LIFE POTION, and an ETHER1. 
  Now continue on and make your way to the top of the room and enter through 
  the stairway. In this next room you will find a not so hidden path at the
  bottom, go through it to pick up a CURE2 POTION and a LIFE POTION. Continue
  on to the next not so hidden area and make your way to the center of the
  room to recieve a LIFE POTION. Continue onto the next room to the right.
  In this next room you will find an ETHER1 POTION, after you have taken that
  proceed to the next room. In this next room immediately head for the door
  and in there you will find a save room. To the right side is the ANCIENT
  SWORD. Do not bother equipping it on Cecil because its a bit weaker than
  Cecil's current sword. Now proceed outside and onto the moat of the castle
  of Baron. 


BATTLE WITH THE KING OF BARON HIMSELF      Party's level: 13
  Here when you are outside keep walking to the left and at the bottom left
  hand side of the castle is the entrance to the castle. Wait a minute, why
  is the Castle of Baron so empty? Were they expecting you? Incase you were
  left hurt during those battles in the old Water Way you can rest in Cecil's
  room in the left tower. If your not hurt from those battles in the Old
  Water Way then proceed right and head towards the King's Throne Room.
  Before you reach the King's throne room Baigan comes to greet you. Then
  Baigan joins your party, that makes a total of six party members! Its too
  good to be true, but now you will stand an excellent chance against the
  King of Baron. Just as you go off to find the King of Baron the twins smell
  a monster, Baigan looks or acts like he is surprised. The twins already 
  know he's a monster and they accuse him of having poor acting skills. Then 
  Baigan shows his true colors.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: BAIGAN, RIGHT ARM, LEFT ARM    HP: 2700(BAIGAN) 250(ARMS)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
  This fight will leave you wounded, so you must make quick moves. At any
  given time BAIGAN will set up a WALL on himself but not his arms. So if
  Palom is at Level 19 have him cast VIRUS on BAIGAN which will do about
  1200 HP of damage. Also when BAIGAN does set up a WALL have Tellah cast
  WALL on any other party member and have your magic user focus their magic
  attack on your party member with the WALL. Don't do it too often because
  the WALL can only bounce back attacks about two or three times. Quickly
  eliminate the ARMs because that is what's causing most of the damage
  against your party. Continue to attack and after a while BAIGAN will lose
  his WALL, have Palom use VIRUS to finish him off, but only when you know
  he has lost his WALL, otherwise it will be a gamble. Or you can have
  Tellah use ICE3, FIRE3, or LIT-3. After the battle you might want to
  return to Cecil's room and heal yourself and continue on towards the
  King's throne room. 

  Now head towards the King's Throne room which is on your way. Also before
  you head anywhere go to the right and take the staircase. Then you will be
  outside the castle, continue on to the next staircase, in this next room
  you will notice a hidden door. Use the "A" button to switch open the door,
  the switch is on the left torch and enter through the hidden area and
  collect six treasure chests, the items inside the treasure chests are
  ETHER1 POTION, another ETHER1 POTION,  CURE2 POTION, a LIFE POTION,
  another LIFE POTION, and finally a CURE2 POTION. After that go outside the
  castle and go past under the gate and into the tower. In this room right
  here are two staircases to the right and left and four treasure chests. The
  treasure chests contain a CURE1 POTION, a HEAL POTION, a TENT, and a 
  another CURE1 POTION. The treasure chest on the top of the starcase can be 
  reached if you enter the staircase and then re-enter the staircase you 
  should stop right infront of the treasure chest. Now take the left 
  staircase going down and check the second pot from the left to recieve an 
  ELIXIR. Don't advance any further because a mysterious force will push you 
  back and you will lose some HP if you do go near the mysterious force. Now 
  take the right stiarcase to collect a CURE2 POTION and a LIFE POTION. In 
  the next room is a room full of treasure chests and pots, however there are 
  only three treasure chests that can be accessiable to you because the 
  others are already opened and out of your reach. The treasure chests 
  contain a two TENTs, and an ETHER1 POTION. Also check the pots for another 
  ETHER1 POTION. Afterwards head towards the King's Throne Room(I've said 
  that three times already). Here the King acts like he is happy to see 
  Cecil, but then he dislikes the fact that Cecil is a Paladin. The real king 
  however was killed by the fake king, the fake king now removes his disguise 
  and he is the fiend of water, KAINAZZO.

--------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: KAINAZZO    HP: 4000
--------------------------------
  This boss fight is extremely easy, if you know what to do. Have Palom use
  his VIRUS magic attack to easily wipe away 1000 of his HP, then have Tellah
  use LIT-3 to cleanly dust off about 3000 of his HP, if he is not done by
  that then just keep attacking him until he's nothing but plankton. 

  Here after the battle Cid comes in, and the party introduces themselves to
  Cid besides Cecil because Cecil already knows Cid! Now the party must hurry
  to retrieve the airship. But before they can do so KAINAZZO has already set
  a trap, the doors are locked and the walls are caving in. Here the twins
  turn themselves into Stone and stop the wall from caving in. Tellah tries 
  to break the spell but to no avail, the twins willingly let their lives go 
  to save the rest of the party. Tellah was the one who wanted to go first, 
  but Cid re-groups the party. Meanwhile...
  In the Tower of Zot, Kain plans up a plot to capture the last crystal, they
  will exchange Rosa for the crystal, and Kain will be the messenger, Rosa
  tries to stop Kain, but Kain is too much under the influnce of Golbez's
  powerful mind control. Meanwhile back at the castle of Baron...
  Cid unlocks the hidden entrance to his airship and the Enterprise flies 
  off, then suddenly the Red Wings come but they do not wish to fight this 
  time. Kain delivers a message to Cecil, about trading in Rosa for the 
  Crystal of Earth in Toroia. Now land your airship infront of Baron and 
  return to the King's chambers in the basement below, remember the place 
  with the mysterious force? Its gone now so enter it and the real King of 
  Baron wishes to tell you something. He tells you to go to the Land of 
  Summoned Monsters and return back after your trip, then he leaves. That's 
  for later in the game. Now head back to your airship and fly towards 
  Toroia, which is northwest of Baron. Also Cid starts out at level 20 with 
  788 HP, he can be put in the front, also he can do quite a bit of damage 
  even though he carries a WOODEN HAMMER.


ONWARD TO THE CASTLE OF TOROIA AND THE CRYSTAL OF EARTH     Party's level: 14
  Here enter the castle of Toroia. Inside is some music that's pleasant to
  the ear and the beautiful desgin of the castle. For now keep going towards
  the center of the castle and meet the eight Clerics who govern the country
  of Toroia. Talk to the eight Clerics of Toroia and they will give you some
  info. It appears that the Dark Elf has taken the Crystal of Earth and 
  sealed
  the cave with a metallic seal so that weapons of metal will become weak and
  heavy. Now head out and take the right staircase and take the path down
  towards the door. Inside this room you will find three staircases, the 
  middle
  one contains an ETHER1 POTION, the staircase to the left contains a lady
  guarding the door to the secret treasure of Toroia, you don't have
  permission to obtain those treasures yet, so take the right staircase and
  you will be in a room with eight treasure chests. First flip the switch in
  the middle of the room by standing on it, and take the two treasure chests
  on the left which are both TENTS, then take the next two treasure chests
  which are both CURE2 POTIONs, then the next treasure chests which are both
  ETHER1 POTIONs, and then finally the last two treasure chests to the right,
  both contain a RUBYRING, keep the RUBYRINGs for now, even though they are
  a lot weaker than your SILVER RINGS. Now head back to the 1F of the castle
  of Toroia and take the left staircase, and head towards the door on the
  bottom and in this room you will find Edward, this is the first time you
  have met up with Edward since your encounter with the Leviathan. Here Cecil
  tells what has happened with Rosa and Yang tells Edward that Rydia did not
  make it. Here Edward gives you the TWINHARP, which no one but Edward can
  equip. Now leave the castle and head towards north of the castle of Toroia,
  which is the Chocobo's village. Here is home to many Black Chocobos that
  have the ability to fly and land on the forest. Talk to the Black Chocobo
  and head towards the cave which is northeast of the Castle of Toroia and
  souteast of the chocobo's Village.


THE DARK ELF'S CAVE LEADS TO THE CRYSTAL OF EARTH     Party's level: 14
  Here in this cave the metallic seal goes into effect, Yang can use his
  Claws and Tellah can go with his Magic, Cecil should have a Bow and Arrow
  equipped. If you want you can just run away from battles in this area until
  you face off against the Dark Elf. Now continue on to the wooden bridge,
  here take the right path to collect the CURE2 POTION and continue on keep
  going until you find the next ladder, also pick up the treasure chest to 
  the
  left to collect a HEAL POTION and enter through the ladder. In this next
  room take the right path and collect the ETHER1 POTION, now continue onto
  the the northeast corner of the room to find a white door, enter it and in
  the room are two treasure chests, they are the ETHER1 POTION and 500 GOLD.
  Now head to the left and enter the ladder, in this next area you will see a
  door to the left which is a save room, go ahead and save your game and heal
  your wounds if neccessary. Now keep going and in the room below is a LIFE
  POTION, a CURE3 POTION, and a CURE2 POTION. Now head out and continue onto
  the left past the bridge, take the path in the middle and enter through the
  door. Here a treasure chest is straight above you which is a CHARM claw for
  Yang, equip it and move onto the left. In this next room which is B4F, take
  the bridge to the left, when you reach an area with a bunch of candles take
  the right path across the bridge and you will be gievn yet another chance
  to save. Save your game and head out now head to the door, but make sure
  you go around and pick up an ETHER2 POTION. In this next room the music
  changes, its the Crystal room and inside it is the DARK ELF. Here he will
  not let you take the crystal of Earth and a fight will start.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: DARK ELF       HP: 3000
-----------------------------------
Just lose this fight and save your energy. 

  Afterwards the party is weak and if Cecil cannot use his weapons then he
  cannot defeat the DARK ELF. Meanwhile Edward wishes to help out the party,
  so he plays his harp which is painful to the ear of the DARK ELF and it
  lowers the DARK ELF's metallic seal. Here take this chance to equip
  yourself with all your metallic gear.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: DARK ELF       HP: 3000
-----------------------------------
  Just keep pounding on this guy, until he is gone. After you lose him
  about 1500 HP of damage he will change form. Tellah's magic is basically
  useless, but Cecil using his LEGEND sword will do about 700+ damage
  against him. Try too keep your party's HP above 250 and have Tellah be 
  your healer.

  Afterwards the DARK ELF dies, so take the Crystal of Earth and return
  to Toroia. To make a short cut have Tellah use his WARP magic once he is
  outside the Crystal Room. Now head back to the center of the Castle of
  Toroia where the Clerics are. Inside the Clerics greet you, then suddenly
  Kain tells you to take the Crystal to his airship and he will show him
  where Rosa is. Beofre you leave go to the room where the lady was guarding
  the treasure earlier, now the treasure of Toroia is now yours! Inside are
  twenty treasure chests which contain a CURE2 POTION, HEAL POTION, ETHER1
  POTION, ETHER2 POTION, ELIXIR, 1000 GOLD, a GREATBOW, 10 FIRE ARROWS,
  another set of 10 FIRE ARROWS, a set of 10 LIT ARROWS, a set of 10 ICE
  ARROWS, another set of 10 ICE ARROWS, another stash of a 1000 GOLD, another
  ELIXIR, another ETHER2 POTION, another ETHER1 POTION, another HEAL POTION,
  and another CURE2 POTION. Now head back to Edward's room, and a short
  scenario will take place, Tellah now respects Edward and will avenge
  Anna's death and also avenge Edward's injury. Now leave Toroia and head
  for your airship and make sure you save your game before you enter you
  airship.


ROSA HERE WE COME!     Party's level: 16
  Now immediately when you board your airship Kain tells you to follow his
  airship after Cecil has shown him the Crystal of Earth. From here you
  will never bea ble to enter this tower again so make sure you collect
  everything you find and watch for the monsters here, they can get pretty
  tough. Now make your way towards the top left corner of the room and
  collect the FIRE armor and continue on to floor 2. In this next room is
  only one treasure chest which contains a FIRE sword. It is guarded by a
  FLAMEDOG, so make absolutely sure Cecil did not equip the FIRE ARMOR or he
  will get seriously burned. Try not to fight many battles here because
  enemies can get quite tough. After you have collected the FIRE sword
  continue onto the next floor. In this room the door to the next room is
  directly above you so make your way around, and there are no treasure
  chests in here. Now in this next room there are three doors in the middle
  and another door to the right. Here take the first door to the right in
  the middle and pick up the WIZARD robe, equip it on Tellah, but remember
  to de-equip it off of him later. In the middle of the middle rooms is a
  EARTH hammer for Cid, equip it on Cid and don't worry about the treasure
  chest above it. Now enter the next room to the left and to the right is
  the treasure chest above the one with the HAMMER. Inside you will find a
  POISON claw for Yang, equip it and continue on to the left. At the bottom
  here you will see a treasure chest, open it to pick up a FIRE shield for
  Cecil and return back to the room you were in before. In this room take
  the room all the way to the right. Enter the door and you will be back at
  the fifth floor again, before you enter the room in the middle make sure
  you save it in the room before it, heal your wounds and continue on. Here
  before you make it to the next room the Magus sisters will stop you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: MAGUS SISTERS         HP: 2500(short), 2000(fat), 1400(tall)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  This fight is fairly easy. First attack the Fat one(I forgot to type the
  names down as I fought them so sorry if the bosses are based on description
  and not on name. They will use their DELTA attack which is a pretty lame
  attack. The skinny tall one will use a WALL on the fat one, while the
  short one will use either FIRE2, ICE2, or LIT-2 to reflect off of the fat
  one. Have Tellah attack either one with VIRUS besides the Fat one because
  she has a WALL on. Have Cid use his EARTH hammer as an item repeatedly to
  do about 240 damage to all three sisters(don't worry you can use this over
  and over again), have Yang and Cecil attack as normal. Afterwards the Magus
  sisters shall be defeated.

  Here the sisters will fade away, continue onto the next room. In this next
  room you will see Kain and Golbez. Cecil hands over the crystal to Golbez 
  but he will not let them through to Rosa. Tellah dislikes the fact and 
  blurs out at him, Golbez has no business with Tellah, but Tellah does.

----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: GOLBEZ       HP: 10000
----------------------------------
  This boss fight, Tellah fights alone. If you notice Golbez in this battle
  scene looks a lot like EXDEATH from FF5, but I'm not going to get into it.
  Here Tellah fights automatically with VIRUS, FIRE3, LIT-3, and ICE3. All
  those spells have very little effect on Golbez, then Tellah decides to use
  METEO, but how, he doesn't even have enough MP! Tellah turns his HP into MP
  and casts METEO, it knocks Golbez out of submission.

  Here Tellah is lying on the floor. Golbez escapes and calls Kain, but Kain
  is unconsious, the METEO spell had broken Golbez's link over Kain and 
  Golbez escapes alone. Before Golbez leaves Cecil wants to end his evil life 
  right now, but Golbez shocks him away with lightning. Cecil questions why 
  doesn't he finish him off, but Golbez seems to question who Cecil is. Here 
  they go over to Tellah who is critically wounded. Tellah blames this on 
  himself because of his own hatred, he slowly dies and the party gives their 
  final respect and Cecil will promise to avenge Anna and Tellah(I really 
  hate this Golbez guy, don't you?). Now go over to Kain, the door behind 
  them is locked. When Kain wakes up he realizes that Rosa is in danger and 
  they quicly dash into the next room and save Rosa in time just before the 
  Iron Ball drops on Rosa. Here Kain puts his head down in disgust because he 
  nearly let Rosa get killed, and its pretty funny when you here Cid's
  remarks! Here Kain admits that he just wanted to be with Rosa and asks
  both Cecil and Rosa for their forgiveness, then Cid quickly tells them to
  leave now, then Cecil pulls together Kain and they leave. But just about
  as they were to leave the fiend of air comes through with an evil laughter
  that scrimishes across the hears of the party. Valvalis said she should 
  have gotten rid of Kain, but she will have to defeat the entire party to do 
  that.

--------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: VALVALIS          HP: 6000
--------------------------------------
  This boss fight is pretty hard and will drain alot out of your party. When
  she turns into a whirlwind, have Kain jump to stop her spin. Also she will
  use WEAK quite often and will use RAY directly after WEAK as well, so make
  sure you heal your party quickly and cure them if need. Also Rosa is not
  equipped with any weapons so equip her with a BOW and ARROW if you have 
  some and have her attack when the party is still healthy. Have Cecil 
  constantly attack, and also Yang and Cid attack as well. Keep this up and 
  you should be able to defeat her.

  Here Valvalis will tell you that the strongest of the four elements still
  exist. Before she leaves to the afterworld she will destroy the tower, but
  Rosa will tell the party to hold on, as she casts the spell of EXIT. Then
  the party arrives at Cecil's bedroom in Baron. Here Kain tells the party
  about the Crystals, Golbez has all four crystals and the world is doomed
  right? Wrong. Here Kain tells the party of the other four crystals known as
  the Dark Crystals. So Golbez has only gathered half the crystals and the
  hidden side of the Earth is the underground. Kain also tells them that when
  all the crystals of both the Earth and Underground are gathered, the way to
  the moon opens. Here Kain gives them the Magma key, but they don't know
  where to throw the key in. Then Cid's music comes on and tells them that
  they will find the place to throw the Magma key in not time with the help
  of the Enterprise. But I thought it was lost in the Tower of Zot, but never
  question Cid's genius, the Enterprise flew back to Baron by remote control.
  Here Cecil wonders why Golbez didn't finish off Cecil, but he tells the
  party its nothing and they go to sleep. Here you can visit back to where
  Palom and Porom was stoned, if you click the "A" button you will see your
  menu screen pop up. But you are not suppose to de-stone them nor can
  you ever. Now head outside and make it to your airship. Before you go start
  looking for the place, you can visit the Town of Mist again, if not then
  head for the town of Agart.



WAY TO THE UNDERWORLD     Party's level: 18
  Here this place is Agart, a peaceful nation that will talk alot about
  Dwarves. Here in this town a treasure chest is hidden in the green grassy
  area with a CURE2 POTION. You really do not need to buy weapons because 
  most of the equipment you have is better than the stuff they sell, now head
  towards the bottomless well, the guy infront was talking to you about and
  throw in the MAGMA key, which will cause an earthquake that will split the
  mountain. Enter the mountain with your airship.

=============================================================================
=============================End of The World Above==========================
=============================================================================

YOUR NEXT JOURNEY BEGINS UNDERGROUND      Party's level: 18
  Here when you enter the mountain the ship is suddenly taken down by shots
  from the Red Wings. This time the Red Wings are not after Cecil. It seems
  like a War is going on between some tanks and the Red Wings. The Enterprise
  trys to dodge the firepower but a couple shots hit the Enterprise and they
  fall down. Here Cecil has suffered only minor injuries but the Enterprise
  is serverely damaged. The enterprise lands in front of giant castle. Here
  save your game and enter through. Also I would like to mention that
  congratulations! You have achieved half-way through the game, and the other
  half is tougher than most battles you have encountered.


WHAT PLOT IS GOLBEZ UP TO THIS TIME?      Party's level: 18
  Here enter the castle and go directly in the middle. The conversation
  will automatically start. Here they introduce themselves and Cecil asks
  for the cyrstal but apparently two out of four were taken from Golbez.
  However the crystal in his castle is still safe. Here the King asks the
  party to help support them with their airship but the Enterprise is badly
  damage and can't even fly over magma. Here Cid leaves the party and will
  wrap the ship in Mystic Silver. The party say there goodbyes, but suddenly
  Yang's incredible instincts point out that he feels that someone is
  evesdropping on the party. The party and the King's men look but nobody
  is there. Then the King opens the door to the Crystal room and when the
  party enters they see wierd dolls jumping around and also the door behind
  them is locked.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: CAL & BRENA, CALBRENA    HP: CAL(800) BRENA(400) CALBRENA(3000)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  This boss fight is pretty tough so don't be surprised that you find
  yourselves losing early on. First have Cecil attack the CALs, have Kain
  JUMP the CALs, have Yang perform his KICK, and have Rosa AIM at the
  BRENAs. Continue to do this until they are all gone. However if by any
  chance you leave one of them standing they can still form into CALBRENA,
  who's attacks are very powerful and has alot of HP. If this happens hit
  CALBRENA with your best attacks, also if you do not destroy CLABRENA in
  time before she forms back into the 6 dolls, that means you will have to
  face the 6 dolls all over again despite the fact that you may of destroy
  5 out of the 6 dolls earlier. I really can't offer much strategy because
  I've barely won this battle. 

  After the battle Golbez appears. He tells you why is he is after the
  crystals. Apparently with all eight crystals in his hand he will
  re-activate the Tower of Bab-il and open a path to the moon. Legends says
  that the Moon possesses limitless power. Here Golbez has only one more
  crystal to collect after he takes this one. Here a battle will start
  with Golbez.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: GOLBEZ  and SHADOW       HP: 800(SHADOW) 2800(GOLBEZ)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
  Here the party's attacks continously but all their attacks miss, then
  suddenly he puts a HOLD GAS on the entire party which paralyzes them.
  Here the battle seems hopeless. Here the party goes down by SHADOW's
  attacks one by one, until Cecil goes, but suddenly the Mist Dragon Cecil
  and Kain had destroyed earlier comes and blows them with a Mist that
  destroys the Shadow Dragon.  Here an unknown mysterious voice heals the
  party and they can move now. Suddenly its Rydia! She's back and this
  time with more powers than she left with! She has 5 new summons and much
  more new Black magic attacks, this time GOLBEZ is going down! Here just
  have Cecil attack and have Rydia cast any one of her summons. After that
  Golbez will wall like a rotten cookie.

  Here Rydia tells the party that Leviatan had swallowed her up and took
  her to the Land of Summoned Monsters, where all Summoned Monsters live.
  There time flows much quicker and Rydia's appearance is much more adult
  like. Here Golbez's hand takes the Crystal and the party reappears at
  the King's room. Here the party knows that the last Crystal is at the
  Sealed Cave to the south. The King has devised of a plan to lure the
  Tower of Bab-il's fire power to the tanks so the party can sneak in and
  take the crystals. Here the King tells you that the exit to the Tower of
  Bab-il is at the bottom of this castle. Before you go anywhere make sure
  you explore this castle, its pretty big and has some nifty items. Also
  right after the King finishes talking to you have Rydia Warp and you will
  be in the Crystal room, even though you saw Golbez take the crystal the
  crystal is still there for some strange reason. 


EXPLORATION OF THE DWARVE CASTLE      Party's level: 18
  Here exit out of the King's room and take the left staircase. Here you
  will be at the inn, check the pot next to the counter to recieve 1000
  GOLD. From here take the left staircase and you will be in a room with
  a door at the bottom and a staircase in the middle. Take the staircase
  and you will see a room full of pots and a Dwarve at the top, here he
  will let you take the treasures in the tower. Also there is nothing in
  the pots so continue on. In this room take the left side and a treasure
  chest will give you a CURE2 POTION, now there is a hidden passage
  leading to the treasure chest at the bottom of the CURE2 POTION, go
  through that way to collect a BLACK BELT robe. Now go around and to the
  right to pick up an ETHER1 POTION. Also a Namingway is here incase you
  hate the names of your party members. Now to the right of the Namingway
  is yet another hidden passage that leads to the top treasure chest which
  is an ELIXIR. Now head back to the entrance of the left tower and this
  time go outside. Here you will see a few Dwarves outside, talk to them
  if you like and continue onto the right tower. In here you will see two
  staircases. First take the treasure chest which is a DWARF AXE, and now
  take the staircase in the middle. Here in this next room the guard will
  allow you to take the other treasures and also here are a bunch of pots,
  and there is absolutely nothing in these pots. Here in this next room take
  the treasure chest to the top and open it to recieve the STRENGTH ring. Now
  to the right of the treasure chest is another hidden passage, go through it
  and take the treasure chest to the right to pick up an ETHER2 POTION. Now
  pick up the treasure chest at the bottom which is an ELIXIR and pick up
  the final treasure chest which is an ETHER1 POTION. Now return to the
  entrance of the tower and take the right staircase and you will be in the
  Weapons and Armor shop now. You can go to the middle of the room if you
  want but its not neccessary because all it is is a Dwarf dancing. Here
  buy three RUNE rings for Rosa, Yang, and Rydia, and also a WIZARD hat for
  Rydia. Don't bother to buy any Fire equipment here because they won't
  help much in the underworld. Now you can go to the stairs in the top left
  hand corner if you want to dump off some of your items to the fat Chocobo.
  Also if you don't have any carrots there are three carrots to the right of
  the Fat Chocobo in the pots. Also in this room talk to the Dwarf in front
  of the Liquor Shelf and he will open the door for you to the bottom half
  of the castle. Now you will be in the basement, to the right side of the
  basement is a CABIN, a CABIN, and yet another CABIN. Now go to the left,
  in this room is the Dwarf base, to the very left is a Recovery Pot, so 
  you can heal your wounds. Now leave the castle and save your game. 


RAID ON THE TOWER OF BAB-IL      Party's level: 18
  From outside here go all the way northwest and you will find tanks shooting
  at the Tower of Bab-il, so while they distract the Tower enter through.
  Now when you enter take the left and recieve 10 ICE ARROWs and another set
  of ICE ARROWs. Now take the right path of the room and pick up an ETHER1
  POTION and enter the middle of the room. Now in this next room pick up the
  BANDANA to the left and continue down. Take the very next door you see,
  inside is a treasure chest inside is an ALERT, each time you attack it when
  a monster is not present it will call another monster. After you defeat him
  equip the BLIZZARD SPEAR and continue on. Now take the right door and
  inside is another treasure chest, and also another battle with an ALERT.
  After you win the battle you will recieve a ICE BRAND sword, equip it and
  move on. In this next room take the treasure chest to the left and pick up
  a CATCLAW for Yang. From here to the right is a CURE2 POTION, after you
  have picked that up go to the right door in the room and also pick up the
  LIFE POTION. Here in this room is another LIFE POTION and an ARCHER BOW,
  equip the Bow and head back into the room. Now head to the left door. In
  this room go to the left and enter a save point, save your game and
  continue onto the right side of this room. Now enter the room to the
  bottom, you will have to fight an ALERT here, but win the battle to pick
  up an ICE SHIELD. The room to the right has nothing inside so go to the
  room at the top to fight another ALERT, this time if you win you recieve
  an ICE SHIELD. Equip both ICE equipment on and continue through to the top
  left. Now in this next room go get the treasure chest to the right
  contains 2,000 GOLD. Now continue to the right, but ignore the room in
  the middle because its locked. Also pick up a CURE2 POTION on the way and
  continue upwards into the next room. Here just go to the door on the left.
  In this next room take the right side and into a door to find a SAVE
  POINT, save your game and continue on. Also pick up an ETHER2 POTION right
  before the next room. Here just continue on and make it to the left side
  of the room. Here you will see Dr. Lugae and Rubicant having a 
  conversation. Here after Dr. Lugae has transported Rubicant out he is 
  excited that he is the only one here. Rydia calls him a  "Wierd Guy...!" 
  and then finally Dr.Lugae notices them. Here Kain makes a few smart remarks 
  and Dr. Lugae calls his robot BALNAB.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: DR. LUGAE, BLANAB          HP: 3000(DR.LUGAE) 2700(BALNAB)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Here in this battle start things off with Cecil attacking Dr. Lugae and
  have Kain Jump Dr. Lugae, also have Rosa aim at Dr. Lugae as well as Yang
  attack Dr. Lugae. For Rydia have her summon INDRA. Keep pounding on Dr.
  Lugae until he is gone so that he doesn't constantly heal BALNAB. At first
  BALNAB will attack Dr. Lugae, but then he will attack you so his hit is
  actually a freebie. This fight isn't too tough, but if you do not kill
  BALNAB in time before he explodes, then most likely one of your characters
  will die because the EXPLODE takes off loads of damage, or depending on
  how much HP he has left will tell how much damage he will inflict.

  After this battle Dr. Lugae still stands, but this time he has a trick
  up his sleeve.

----------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: DR. LUGAE                 HP: 5000
----------------------------------------------
  This fight is a little tougher than the last so take some extra
  precautions. First take a few swings at him before he turns into a
  skeleton. Have Rosa AIM and heal if neccessary. Have Rydia cast INDRA or
  JINN, have Kain JUMP and have both Yang and Cecil attack. Watch out for
  the LASER attack, it'll most likely kill off one of your party members,
  so revive them also watch out for the GAS, it will paralyze your party
  member, but you can wait and have DR. LUGAE heal you or heal the party
  member yourself. Afterwards you should be able to win and collect
  the TOWER key.

  After the battle the Super Cannon is almosted charged up so head back to
  the middle room that was locked earlier. Here when you enter this room
  the Super Cannon is about to fire, but Cecil interrupts their play and
  the three DARK IMPs attack them.

------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: Three DARK IMPs         HP: 180 each
------------------------------------------------
  This fight is basically a joke, yet they give you a lofty amount
  of expierience points.

  Here the DARK IMPs make their final move by detonating the Super Cannon.
  Here Yang decides to stop the Super Cannon from exploding, but Yang
  knocks them out of the room. Here Yang sacrifices himself and the Super
  Cannon explodes. Now exit out of the Tower. Before the party leaves
  Golbez interrupts them and knocks out the bridge and the party falls
  below. Luckily Cid is back from his trip, and they tell Cid about Yang.
  Suddenly the Red Wings approach them, they try to out manuver the Red
  Wings, but somehow the Red Wings were re-modified, and without Cid! Here
  the party can't shake off the Red Wings and Cid says his last goodbyes
  before he denonates the bomb. Its a shame too see a good friend go off
  like that, so that's 6 six people lost at the hands of Golbez. Its time
  we show Golbez how the party feels. Before Cid left he told the party to
  head towards Baron to ask his workers for help.


ONWARD TOWARDS BARON!      Party's level: 21
  First when you enter here make your way to the right side of the castle
  and you will see two people standing outside below the right tower. Talk
  to them and Cid's crew has already been informed to attach a hook to the
  Enterprise. After the crew is done now that party can hook and attach the
  Hovercraft. To attach the Hovercraft, simply go over it and press the "A"
  button. Here the crew tells you that you can reach the Cave of Eblan near
  the Tower of Bab-il. So remember where you last left your Hovercraft? Yes
  you got it, near Mt. Hobs directly northeast of Baron. Now go southwest of
  Baron and land your Hovercraft and go to the Cave of Eblan just under the
  Tower of Bab-il. 


WHAT LIES AHEAD IN THESE CAVES?     Party's level: 21
  From here go to the right and pick up a SHURIKEN dart. If you so happen
  not to see any hidden passages then try adjusting your television's
  brightness or contrast. Also to the right and pick up a HEAL POTION and
  continue on to the bottom of the cave. To the bottom right of the cave
  is 1200 GOLD, after that go to the next room. In this area monsters will
  not attack you, and the people of Eblan are now living in the caves, take
  a look around and buy some new equipment. You can buy an extra ICE armor
  and also an extra ICE shield for Kain if you like, but since he is jumping
  most of the time I don't think that would be neccessary. Also I would
  consider buying a BLACK gown for Rydia because it suits her better than
  her current equipment. The weapons shop is a complete waste of time
  because you already have the equipment they are selling. So continue on
  to the bottom left room. Here you will get information that the Ninjas
  of Eblan are defeated rather easily and also check the pots at the end
  of the nursing room to pick up a CURE1 POTION and also the pot near the
  entrance of the nursing room to pick up another CURE1 POTION. After that's
  all done and done head out and onto the next area. In this next area is the
  Pass to Bab-il. To the right is an ETHER1 POTION, after that go to the top
  to find a TENT and a wounded guard, he will tell you that the Prince has
  went alone. Below the downed guard is a CURE2 POTION and above is a CURE3
  POTION. Continue onto the next room and you will find another downed guard.
  To the right of this room is another SHURIKEN dart. Continue and in this
  room through the hidden passage is two treasure chests containing two
  ELIXIRs. The other treasure chests contain a CABIN, a CURE2 POTION, and
  another CURE2 POTION. Here in this room you will see another downed guard,
  to the bottom is 800 GOLD and to the right are three treasure chests which
  contain a a LIFE POTION, another LIFE POTION, and 850 GOLD. Continue
  onwards to the top and onto the next room. Here in this next room is a save
  point, you might want to save before collecting the treasure chest to the
  right. If you do decide to pick up the treasure chest, it contains a DRAIN
  sword for Cecil, but you must defeat two STALEMANs to obtained it. After
  you have saved your game exit out of the save room and go to the top, but
  before you do pick up the LIFE POTION to the left side. When you reach the
  top you will see a mysterious Ninja battling the almighty Rubicant. Here
  you will know that the man's name is Edge. Here at first all looks well,
  but then Edge casts FLAME which is Rubicant's strength and suddenly
  Rubicant uses GLARE a powerful attack that knocks out Edge. After the
  battle Rubicant tells him he is strong but not strong enough and tells
  him to fight him once he has become strong enough. Here the party talks to
  Edge and tells them that they are on the same side. Edge is still hot
  headed and Rydia comes out crying, telling him that she has lost everybody
  in this epic war. Here Rosa uses CURE2 on Edge and he thanks her for it
  with a sassy remark of course. Before you proceed to the next room pick
  up an ETHER2 POTION before you go. Here in this next room is the other
  side of the Tower of Bab-il. The party wonders how they will get in, but
  Edge is a ninja remember? He easily slips by the wall. In this 1F of the
  Tower make sure to pick up a CURE3 POTION at the top, after that go around
  and find your way to the next door, but before you enter the door pick up
  another CURE3 POTION to the right. In this next room is a treasure chest
  in the middle. Pick it up to recieve an OGRE axe, but you must fight for
  it, against four MAD OGREs that is! After that continue on to the next
  room. Here in this next room to the right is 2000 GOLD, after you have
  picked that up continue into the next room. Here proceed to the right, and
  along the way pick up the treasure chest to obtain a MIDDLE blade for Edge
  and proceed to the left and onto the next room. In this room ignore the
  orb in the middle and proceed to the right of the room and enter the first
  door. Inside this room is a save spot, heal your wounds and save and
  continue on to the right room. Here just go to the room on the left. When
  you enter here you will see a center room, which loks alot like the Super
  Cannon room, but its not the Super Cannon room this time. Before you enter
  the room Edge sees his parents, but they are not themselves.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: K.EBLAN, Q.EBLAN       HP: 32,000(K.EBLAN) 30,000(Q.EBLAN)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  In this battle you don't have to do anything. Keep your party healed and
  the King and Queen of Eblan will come to their senses. Here in this battle
  both Queen Eblan and King Eblan tell them that they are no longer human.
  They say their final farewells and they die themselves.

  Here Rubicant will appear and Edge is fustrated with him, Rubicant tells
  him that it was Dr. Lugae that turned his parents into monsters and he
  apologizes for it. He tells them that he fights fair and is unlike the
  other Fiend of Elements. Here Edge releases his Rage and learns FLOOD and
  BLITZ. Before you fight Rubicant you can pick up the 82,000 GOLD treasure
  chest to the left if you want or after the battle and make sure you do not
  heal yourselves. Rubicant will autmoactically heal your wounds for you.
  When you are prepared talk to Rubicant to start the fight.

--------------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT: RUBICANT        HP: 24,000
--------------------------------------
  This boss fight isn't too tough. Have Kain JUMP which causes almost 4,000
  HP of damage with each hit and have Cecil attack which causes about 2,300
  HP of damage each hit. Don't bother trying to hit him with ICE spells
  because if you get your timing wrong and he closes his cape that means you
  will heal him instead. Have Rosa AIM with her ICE arrows and have Edge
  dart with his SHURIKENs, and also have Rydia use VIRUS. Now continue and
  keep pounding on him with the same pattern and he should be gone.

  Here Rubicant admores them because weak people can join forces. Here the
  Chamberlain and his troops come to help Edge out, but Rubicant is already
  defeated. The party tell Edge about Golbez, and they hurry off into the
  Crystal room. Before they can obtain the crystals they fall into a pitfall
  dropping them to the floor below. Here in this next area pick up a CURE2
  POTION at the top and move on. In this next room just proceed to the top.
  Here you will be on the 6F continue down and to the right is a CURE2
  POTION. Here in this next room is an Airship. Edge decides to take it, but
  not without Rydia's concerns and Rosa's concerns. Edge tells them not to
  worry and he calls the new airship, the Falcon(that's how they spell it in
  the game). The party leaves the Tower, but the airship cannot travel
  through Magma. For now head back to the Castle of Dwarves.


WHAT HELP CAN THE KING OFFER THIS TIME?     Party's level: 19-24
  Here just proceed to the center of the castle. Here the party talks to
  the King and they believe that Golbez is trying to force open the Sealed
  Cave. Here the King tells Luca to give the party they Key to the last
  crystal before he can take it away. But the ship can't travel through Magma
  so how can they get to the Sealed Cave? Well for now head to the nursing
  room to the left of the entrance to the Dwarves' Base. Inside here you will
  find Cid. Here Edge's lousy mouth goes off on Cid. Here the party tells
  Cid that they have defeated the all the Four Fiends, but the Airhsip
  cannot travel through Magma. Even though Cid is injured he jumps at the
  chance to help his party. After the long remodeling of the airship Cid is
  back in his bed, but then suddenly he does not speak, but then the party
  realizes that he is just sleeping. Now afterwards head towards the Sealed
  Cave southwest of the Dwarf Castle, it looks like a square shape in the
  middle of rocks.


DEFEND THE LAST CRYSTAL BEFORE GOLBEZ OBTAINS IT!      Party's level: 19-24
  From here just unlock the door and proceed to the first floor. Proceed
  down and pick up a LIFE POTION and enter the door above, but watch out,
  every door in here is a TRAP DOOR. He will often take out a party member,
  so make sure you heal at the end of battle. In this room, you will find an
  ETHER1 POTION and a LONG sword for Edge. Now get out of this room and
  proceed to the left, Here you will see another Door which is yet another
  TRAP DOOR. Defeat and move on through. In this room pick up a CURE2 POTION
  and proceed to the 2nd door from the left, because the first door doesn't
  have anything also make sure to pick up an ETHER2(or was it one?) to the
  treasure chest to the left. Now enter the door and defeat the TRAP DOOR,
  inside is absolutely nothing, but the TRAP DOOR did give you a lofty 
  amount of expierience right? Well here just continue to the ladder below.
  Here in this next area proceed down through the rope walkway and pick up
  a LIFE POTION and continue on to pick up another LIFE POTION. Now proceed
  to the second door from the right because the 1st door has absolutely
  nothing. In the second door defeat the TRAP DOOR and inside is a LIGHT
  sword, equip it on Cecil and continue on to the 3rd door. In this room is
  a NINJA dart, an ELIXIR, and 5,000 GOLD. Here ignore the 3rd door, unless
  you want to gain some levels, and go to the fourth door. Defeat the TRAP
  DOOR and proceed inside and in here is a save point, save your game and
  heal your wounds and proceed to the fifth door. Defeat the TRAP DOOR and
  inside you will find gear for Edge which are a NINJA helmet and a LONG
  sword. Afterwards proceed down and fight yet another TRAP DOOR. Defeat and
  enter through the room. In this room pick up an ETHER1 POTION and continue
  onto the left ladder. In this next room is a CURE2 POTION and a LIFE
  POTION, ignore the door to the left because inside has nothing, unless you
  want to fight a TRAP DOOR for some high expierience points.  Here in this
  room go to the right and pick a LIFE POTION and enter through the door if
  you want to earn some expierience because there is nothing inside the
  room. Now co
