[ Arlen Kwong's Introduction ]

Welcome to BlueSeed9's Ultimate Strategy Guide to Final Fantasy IV.
It's a shame this side of the Pacific never saw what the Japanese public
got to see. I'll be a bit brief, but straight-forward, on some of the
differences.

In Japan, there were two versions of FFVI released-FFVI/Hard-Type,
and FFIV/Easy-Type. Hard-Type was for advanced RPG gamers, while
Easy-Type was for those that just started out and for your eight-year
old brother. Many items were removed, and boss difficulty was toned-
down. However, the U.S. Version of FFIV is still based on
FFIV/Easy-Type, but they still modified the game for U.S. audiences.
They made major changes to the script and took out many things out
of FFIV/Easy-Type/Japan.

This strategy guide is still very incomplete (very, very, very, VERY 
incomplete and it is going to be complete by zero). I need people to help me 
with it. Please, if you can, e-mail me. I plan to make TONS of updates, and 
there probably never will be a "final" version until I've played the game to 
death.

All references in my guide are the original FF4 names, not the
U.S. version names.

Hey, FF4/HT gamers out there! I am in real need of people to help finish
my Strategy Guide. Please e-mail me if you would like to help me-I can't
do this quickly all alone!

I'd really like to thank Byblos, since he helped me *immensely* with this
Faq. Its really great someone can help me with it, especially since
I don't have much time anymore. Anyway, enjoy this update, and with 
Byblos helping me, more updates to come!

Thanks to Brian Lehnert, who corrected me on my Faq.

[ Zero's Introduction ]
	
	      Hi, and welcome to my faq, you might not now this, but I am the first
one, that is writing a faq for Final Fantasy 4 Hard-type. The resin why I am 
writing a faq for such a old games is because it is NOW in English thanks to 
J2e Translations. Sorry to say but Arlen Kwong (the real owner of this faq) 
couldn't or don't have time to update the faq, so I (zero) e-mail him and ask 
if I can finish, rewrite, add, and change some things to this faq. He said sure, 
(So I didn't rip anyone off!) so you might see some things change and you might see 
things by Arlen Kwong or me, zero or even both.

	There probably will be a "final" version after I've played the game to 
death or all of you Final Fantasy fans help me out!

	If anyone would like to change anything, add anything, or put anything 
I will do it right away.

This FAQ is also base on FF4 hard-type and it is now being complete by me, zero.

This FAQ is now base on the J2e Translations of FF4 hard-type.
J2e Translations is at http://members.aol.com/j2etrans/index.html

If J2e don't want their web site in my faq just e-mail me and I will take it off.

[ 11 things to remember before you start ]

1. Remember to stock up on items, before going to an unexplored place.

2. Remember that water type enemy (fish) are week to thunder.

3. Remember that fire type enemy (not too many around) are week to ice and water.

4. Remember that dead type enemy (zombie) are week to fire and holy.

5. Remember that dead type enemy (zombie) are strong to dark.

6. Remember that flying type enemy (birds) are week to arrows and Chain's jump.

7. Try to buy and find the best weapon or armor for all of your party.

8. Try to unequip any ally's weapon and armor, that is going to leave, don't worry 
   I will tell you in the walkthrough.

9. Try not to level up too much, unless he or she is in your final party, don't worry 
   I will tell you in the walkthrough.

10. Don't give your party strange weapon, like this, if you had to buy Rydia 
    (she can equip a lot of things) new equipment, and you can buy her a rod or bow 
    and arrows (the bow and arrows are stronger). What do you buy? Of course you get
    the rod. Why? you may say, because Rydia is more train with the rod, and if you 
    get her bow and arrows, she will almost always miss the enemy.

11. Always kill the front lines of enemy, because enemy in the back line will take
    only half damage from your attacks.

[ General and Basic Tips ]

"General and Basic Tips" was done by Dingo Jellybean.

I (zero) change safe to save :-D and edit it a little.


You should try to save often. You will 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 gil, that way you will not 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 gil 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 a lot 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 continuously 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 back 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 states 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 anyway 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. (This is only for Final Fantasy 4j easy-type and 
Final Fantasy 2e)

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 Arrows 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 money 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.

I (zero) just modified it for Final Fantasy 4 Hard-type.

|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<
            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 committing 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.

| Fight               |
|---------------------|
| DWave (DKinght Only)|
|---------------------|
| White (Paladin Only)|
|---------------------|
| Cover (Paladin Only)|
|---------------------|
| Item                |
|_____________________|


NOTE: The DWave 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 DWave.
When Cecil does become a Paladin his status are extremely high from those of a 
DKnight, for example a Level 1 Paladin status' are about 50% higher than 
those of a level 20 Dark Knight, just to let you know.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
            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 Golbeze 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 injury.

| White       |

| Item        |
|_____________|


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 (she really is :-D) 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 (Rosa only). 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 
eventually you will have to refill her Arrows as she/he run out.
When all of Rosa's Arrow supply is depleted she will have to use her fists to 
attack or use a staff.

>< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< ><
             Cain 
  >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< ><


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.

| Command Box:|
|-------------|
| Fight       |
|-------------|
| Jump        |
|-------------|
| Item        |
|_____________|


NOTE: Cain's Jump attack is probably the single most strongest physical attack 
in the game. Although he cannot equip Holy Swords 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 Cain 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.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
          Rydia
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-


When she was just a young child Cain and Cecil accidentally brings forth a 
Bomb Ring that destroys her hometown. She also loses her 
mother because Cain 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 Cain for what they have done and summons a monster 
that creates a massive earthquake that swallows up Cain. She is also injured 
by the occurrence 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.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
            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 several 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.

The Tears command is use to run easier.

          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, Golbeze. 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.

           Gilbert
:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:

 
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 Gilbert joins and helps Cecil find 
the sunlight to help cure Rosa's high fever.

|----------------------|
| Heal                 |
|----------------------|
| Item                 |
|______________________|


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

When Gilbert'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 recive expierience points even though 
he did not participate in battle, pretty cheap huh!

Gilbert'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, 
but he is the only one who can spread potions.

The command SING can only be used by Gilbert, Gilbert 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 Gilbert to be successful, and this 
also is not an attack and will not damage opponents.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
            Cid
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


The chief engineer of Baron is the master technician behind the designs and 
constructions 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.

| Command Box: |
|--------------|
| Fight        |
|--------------|
| Peep         |
|--------------|
| Item         |
|______________|


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. 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
           Yang
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


The expert  Monk 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 Golbeze'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 in the front rows.

 _____________
| Command Box:|

| Fight       |
|-------------|
| Build       |
|-------------|
| Kick        |
|-------------|
| Endur       |
|-------------|
| Item        |
|_____________|


NOTE: Don't 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.

|<|>|<|>|<|>|<|<|>|<|>|<|>|<|
          FuuSuuYa
|<|>|<|>|<|>|<|<|>|<|>|<|>|<|


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 Golbeze out of the mysterious mind control. He is 
kind hearted and is a dependable character that you can rely on.

NOTE: FuuSuuYa knows every WHITE and BLACK magic in the book when you acquire him.

>< <> >< <> >< <> >< <> ><
           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.

 _____________
| Command Box:|
|-------------|
| Fight       |
|-------------|
| Ninjitsu    |
|-------------|
| Sneak       |
|-------------|
| Throw       |
|-------------|
| Item        |
|_____________|


NOTE: His Ninjitsu 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. 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!

[ Why name Final Fantasy 4, to 2 ]

	As most people know, Final Fantasy 4 was called Final Fantasy 2 in
U.S. Also Final Fantasy 6 was called Final Fantasy 3 in the U.S. Why? 
some ask... well, after playing all the Final Fantasy games out there I
think I have the answer to that question. But first here is a little 
chart to show what Japan Final Fantasy fan have and what the U.S Final 
Fantasy fan have.

           JAPAN FINAL FANTASYS GAMES

	As you can see from the chart, the Japan Final Fantasy is a is
a straight line up 1 to 8. Now as you look at the U.S. Final Fantasy 
games they try to make it a straight line up, they even got it to 1 
to 3 but mess up on Final Fantasy 7.

[ Part 1 - Walkthrough ]
	
	The following is Basic Walkthrough for Final Fantasy IV. There are level
recommendations for each area, as well as boss strategies and who is in the front 
row and back row.

Note: The resin why I (zero) took off the high level recommend is because Cecil will 
go back to level 1 and Cain will leave and come back at a higher level latter and 
all the others are the same they leave and come back stronger.

	Cecil and Cain venture into the Cave of Mist. There are plenty of items
to pick up, so take the time to do so. Along the way, there will be
messages of someone demanding that Cecil and Cain go back. Ignore her
and keep proceeding. However, finally, you will have to fight a dragon.
This is also a great place to level up, but don't level up too much!
(Rydia's mom)

	Tip: Use Cain jump to kill the enemy here easily.

!BOSS FIGHT!: Mist Dragon (Rydia's mom) HP: 465 Weaknesses: None

The Mist Dragon is an easy boss that most anyone can defeat. First off,
have Cain always Jump, except certen times, which I will explain later. 
Have Cecil constantly using conventional attacks on the Mist Dragon. 
When it turns into a mist, simply stand or guard. This is also a great 
time to heal, if you needvto. If you attack during this time, the Mist 
Dragon will counter. This is when no one should attack during the battle.
Whenever it's out of that form, use the strategies given.

Recommended Level: Cecil (10-11), Cain (10-11).

Recommended Equipment: Should already be equip.

	Take Rydia to the nearest Inn and you don't need to pay for the
night.
	During the night, Cecil will attempt to speak to the girl more often,
and then she will begin to respond. However, soldier will try to fight
you. Just kill everyone, but the commander, and the commander will run away. 
You will learn of the girl's name, Rydia. Stock up on items, and equipment for 
Rydia. Don't forget to sell Chain equipment for some money. After you done 
shopping go to the house in the North-East.
	You should buy 2 staff (give one to Rydia and sell her rod), a Leather
Helmet and a IronRing (the Leather Helmet and IronRing is for you new character).
	After you do that, you will find out that Rosa needs the Light of the 
Desert, and you must pass through the northern caves. Someone will also state 
that an old man is blocking the path, and you must talk to him before you can

	Tella will then get mad at the bard, Tella and the bard 
will battle each other, the bard refuse to fight, after Tella talks trash
to him, but then Anna tells them to stop. Anna tell her father, Tella, the story, 
why Golbeze bomb the place, to get the Crystal and Anna use her body to protect 
the one she is in love with, the bard Gilbert. 
	Using the last of her energy Anna then tell the truth about the bard 
Gilbert. He really is a prince of Damcyan and had to dress like a bard to see Anna. 
Tella then understand their love for each other and leaves to kill Golbeze, to 
avenge Anna. 
	The bard, Gilbert, say that he will stay here next to Anna, to wait for 
Anna... forever. Rydia then tell Gilbert to get up and be a man, 
(but I say he looks like a girl) and tells him that crying is going to do anything. 
	Rydia then tell her story of her beloved mom death. Then Cecil saps him ask 
"Does Anna really want you to cry like a baby for her?". Next he ask if he 
can help save a friend's life, Rosa. Geilbert joins the party and you get the 
hovercraft. 
	Use the hovercraft to go  back to Town of Kaipo, South-West of Damcyan Castle   
and to the Antlion's Lair, East of Damcyan Castle.

             Antlion's Lair
|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<


	When you go into the lair, you better gain levels for Gilbert.
Get all the treasures you find and then keep heading south. 
Look for a save point and use a tent. Go South and your in 
the lair. Gilbert will approach the Antlion, but it will attack.

*BOSS FIGHT*: Antlion
	Antlion will really pummel you if you don't follow these tips.
First off, keep having Cecil defend himself, use items that attack 
the Antlion, or use potion to help out, Gilbert continually using
Heal Technique, and have Rydia keep casting the summon "Chocobo." When
she's out of MP, don't use an Ether or Ether Dry to gain it back. Simply
have Cecil keep attacking and have Gilbert heal the party with his
respective technique. You should win the battle. 

Note: Before the battle, you may use one Ether to regain MP for Rydia 
or go to the save point to use a tent if your party really needs it.

Recommended Level: Cecil (14-16), Rydia (7-14), Gilbert (7-14).

	Talk to Rosa and use the Light of the Desert on her. She will be revived
of her fever, and she will join the party the next morning. In the
middle of the night, Gilbert will see an apparition of Anna, and will
have to fight some water hag. Defeat it, and get 800 Exp.! In the
morning, buy your necessary items and equipment and head over to Mt. Hobs. 
You'll need to use the hovercraft to move northeast.
	Try not to gain too much level.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
          Mt. Hobs
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


	After Rosa having conflicts with Rydia, Rydia will finally cast
"Fire" and get it, to move the path of ice. When you enter the mountain, 
first go to the left door. Get the treasures there and use a tent, if necessary.
Save and then go to the door on the right at the beginning. 
	You will find Yang, a monk, who is battling some monsters. 
Head on towards Yang. You and him will battle together. The MotherBomb 
isn't too hard, but then she will explode into some other bombs. Make 
sure you have high Hp, since the mini-bombs will explode and can damage you. 
Afterwards, after some conversation, head out of the mountain eastward to 
Fabul Castle, you can also stay and level up (not too much though). You should 
also make a copy of Yang weapon. (Read the Part 10, Duplicate Weapon or Shield)

	How to fight the bombs, have Gilbert help heal, and Rosa should cast Keal. 
Rydia cast Chocobo summon, and Cecil attack. Cecil should also use Dwave on the 
mini-bombs

Recommended Level: Cecil (15-18), Rydia (8-14), Gilbert (8-14), 
                   Rosa (8-11), Yang (10-12).

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
         Fabul Castle
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

	Enter Fabul Castle, and purchase the items you need, if you need to.
Rest in an Inn if necessary, then you can go shopping for Cecil (New set of 
equipment here, for Cecil) and Yang. Next unequip all of Rosa equipment. 
Then talk to the king. He's in his throne room (keep heading north). After a 
sequence, you will have to do battle with monsters. It's basically watching 
a sequence and doing battle, and since the battles are pretty easy, you should 
have no trouble fighting. 
	After all the fights, Cain will come and try to kill
Cecil. Golbeze will take the Crystal and kidnap Rosa. After all the
sequences, head to the Inn, and you will automatically get a free night.
The next day, explore the castle, take the treasures. In the king's
room, step on the circle on the northeastern part of the room to open a
door. Go through there, and keep walking to find 3 treasures. Talk to
the king in his bedroom, and take his treasure. He will tell you to go
take the ship to Baron. Get out of the castle and unequip everone but Cecil. 
Go to the east, and walk on the boat. There will be a sequence, and Leviathan 
will swallow up the ship, including the passengers. Cecil will wake up, but alone.

	Welcome to the Town of Mysadia, the place where everyone hates you
because you killed their friends for the Crystal. Anyway, gain ONE
level before you enter the next town. When you talk to people, you
will notice they hate. Don't ever talk to the girl that dances, because
she will turn you into a pig. Well, buy and sell the items you need and don't, 
and then head to the house north most. Talk to the elders, and they will tell you
that you must go to Mt. Ordeals to become a Paladin (So they will like you). 
Palom and Porom (the -spy-) will join your party as well.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
               Mt. Ordeals
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


	Welcome to Mt. Ordeals, where your test of a true warrior will take
place. There is nothing really hard about this place, since it IS fairly
linear. However, you should collect treasures and really try to gain some
level ups with Palom and Porom. Their Hp are not high at all, and they
can easily be defeated by players good enough. Gain their Hp so they
won't DIE as soon as someone attacks them. 
	Anyway, as you proceed, Tella will join your party, since he was 
drawn to the mountain in search of Meteo. 
	Once Tella join, go back to Town of Mysadia and buy the best equipment 
for Tella (Palom and Porom, if haven't already). If you want to, you can also 
buy a set of Paladin equipment for Cecil for latter use. On the way, you shouldn't 
try to gain TOO many levels with Cecil, since you'll be busted down to Level 1 
again when he becomes a Paladin. 
	So, you will soon encounter a Save Point. SAVE! Now, go on the bridge and 
you will have to fight Scarmiglione.
	
Tip, if you are fighting a dead enemy, and Cecil is still a DKnight, 
go to Item and unequip his sword. His hand is stronger then his dark 
sword on dead enemy.

*BOSS FIGHT*: Scarmiglione
	Scarmiglione is an easy boss, even with all his minions. First off, have
Palom and Porom use their twin attacks. Next, have Tella use any Fire spell on
the enemies. Have Cecil use his good `ol  attacks. After he dies
with his minions, go back to the Save Point, use a Tent and Save. As you are
getting off the bridge you will be confronted again by Scarmiglione, this
time in a zombie-like form.

*BOSS FIGHT*: Scarmiglione 2
	Well, this fight is a harder version of the original fight. Have Tella
use his best magic, and heal, have the twins Twin, and have Cecil attack.
You really have to watch your Hp, they can drop if you're not careful. 
After the battle, heal Cecil and unequip everything he has, and walk into 
the "structure". Watch the show and prepare for the hardest battle in the 
whole game! (sarcasm)

Note:Before battle go to menu and press A on Change you should now have two
     back row and three Front row. When you go in battle with Scarmiglion 2,
     you will be attack form the back.

*BOSS FIGHT*: Dark Knight Cecil
	This is really simple. Just keep on guarding and the battle will end on
it's own. Watch the show, then exit Mt. Ordeals. Make sure you finish a
battle before you leave, Cecil will gain about 6 levels after one fight!
Also equip, Cecil with the Paladin equipment you should have.

Recommended Levels: Cecil (19-21, Paladin), Palom (7-12), Porom (7-12), 
                    Tella (24).
