Hi! I'm Seferaga and this is my very first FAQ! In this guide, I will cover
everything you need to know from: Items, Locations, Hidden Treasures, the
truth about Mognet, Chocobos, Item Drop Rates, all 23 Jobs, 9999 HP, and much
much more! There's A LOT of information in this FAQ, so enjoy it all!
Oh yeah, and I even made Area Maps so you can know what the levels look like!
What inspired me to make this guide was Cloud VS Sephiroth's FFVII Perfect FAQ.
I used it to complete a 100% file for that game and it got me very interested
in what it takes to make a guide!
Also, check the "Credits" and "Copyright" sections at the bottom of the
document if you need to.
And, ......, yeah. Have fun? :)

{BEG-3} Helpful Information and Tips |
-------------------------------------'
Saving - Save often. This game can be very challenging! You can only
Save on the World Map.
Quicksaving - This is useful if you have to leave the game for a long period
of time and are stuck in the middle of a dungeon. Be careful
though! This save is temporary and will disappear the next
time you load your game.
Reviving - If you have any KO'd party members, don't waste your Phoenix
Downs. Every major town has at least one REVIVE wellspring, so
use these as much as you possibly can.
Phoenix Downs - You can't buy Phoenix Downs anywhere! :( So save them for the
moments when you are in *desperate* need of them! Like those
dangerous Boss fights!
Wellsprings - There are wellsprings almost everywhere, but are most commonly
found in towns. There are 3 types:
1. HP/MP = Completely restores HP and MP.
2. Revive = Revives all KO'd party members.
3. Status = Cures all status ailments.
Mini - Some areas of the game will require you to be Mini. To cast
Mini you must have a Job that can use it and MP. To get out
of Mini just recast it on your party members or use the
"Mallet" item.
Shiny Spots - Use the L Button to Zoom-In the camera. By doing this you can
find "Shiny Spots". A Shiny Spot will often times be a
valuable treasure and other times a hidden switch. There are
tons of them, so look carefully!
MP - When you switch your Job from a physical-based Job(Monk), to a
magic-based Job(White Mage), your current MP will remain at
ZERO. Find the nearest HP/MP wellspring or Inn to restore any
lost MP. You can also use an Elixir.
General Tips:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Always keep a stock of beneficial items. (Potions, Antidotes, Phoenix Downs,
Elixirs, Eye Drops, etc...)
- Explore and talk to everyone, you may get some interesting info and sometimes
even treasure!
- Don't sell anything! ONLY follow this advice if you are a perfectionist. ;)
Battle Tips:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Focus on a single enemy until it dies. This will make battles easier.
- Any character with a long-range weapon should be in the back row. This way
they can still do full damage while taking LESS damage!
- You can equip and unequip weapons in the "Equipment" menu. This can be
very helpful if you forgot to do so before battle!
- Reserve MP if possible. Some weapons can cast magic, WITH NO MP COST, when
you select it in the "Item" menu! If the weapon is equipped, go into the
"Item" menu and press "Up". This will take you to the "Weapons" menu so you
can use the spells.
- Casting magic on multiple targets. If you are casting magic on the enemy,
press LEFT to cast it on all enemies. If you are casting magic on your
party, press RIGHT to cast it on everyone!
- When in Mini, make your entire party magic-based.(Mages, etc) Mini will cause
your party members to do TERRIBLE physical damage.
- Stealing can save you A LOT of money, as well as make you rich! ;)
- Dual-Wield. When you equip two weapons, you will witness some incredible
destructive power.(depending on your weapons)
- If you have a good Defensive Job, like Knight and Viking, try Duel-Shields!

{Beg-4} Explanations of this Guide |
-------------------------------------'
This section will explain a few important things that you should know about
while playing a new game and using this FAQ.
1. If you're interested, the "Stealing Guide" section, goes hand in hand with
the walkthrough. If you use both at the same time, you'll see what enemies
are in your current area and what you can steal from them! Mmmm, stealing.
2. If you want to know about the best places to level up in your current area,
see the "Best Places to Gain Experience" section. :)
<OPTIONAL:> and <PERFECT GAME NOTE:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you see these notes, you DON'T NEED to do them to finish the game. I only
included them in this guide to make it easier for PLAYERS who care about
getting that 100% file.
Again, if you don't want to follow the instructions within these notes, then
just ignore them. :P They are there to remind the players on what they need to
do to get everything possible in FFIII. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Bosses. I've created Info Boxes for every Boss. They will include Stats,
Item Steals, Item Drops, Descriptions, and Suggestions.
4. At the beginning of certain Sections, I will provide a Map of your current
area! It will show you everything you need to know!! Yahoo!! They are
all hand-drawn by me, so I made sure they are of good quality! It was
either this, or ASCII maps which are really boring to look at. Hehe. :P

MAP 1: File(PNG) Size(57K)
http://www.vortiginous.com/the_icepenguin/Pictures/FFIII/Map%201.PNG
Once you start a new game, you'll watch a scene where a boy (really?) falls
down a hole. This is Luneth. As it turns out, this cave is filled to the
brim with monsters! You'll immediately be attacked by Goblins. They aren't
too hard, just poke 'em and they'll die. :)
After the fight, head north through the cave. Along the way you will find two
treasure chests. The left one holds a >LEATHER SHIELD<, and the right one
holds a >POTION<. Further up, you'll come across a rock which you must
activate. This will cause a path to open up to the right. On this small
path, there will be a treasure chest with a >LONGSWORD< inside, and some
stairs.
In the next area, head left to a get an >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Then go all the way
to the right to get a >POTION<. After this, head back up and you'll find
another >POTION<. To the right is a chest with another >ANTARCTIC WIND< and,
ever more to the right, a wellspring that will restore your HP/MP! Yay!
It's so pretty.^_^
<TIP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to, you can stay around this area and level up, then use the
wellspring to heal yourself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When ready, head left. You will find some stairs. Go up and you will be
in a shrine of some kind. You won't get far because you'll be attacked by
an evil creature! Make sure you have at least one Potion, you just might need
it. I did! :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Boss: Land Turtle |
----------------------.-------------------------------------------------------|
Level: 4 | This Boss can be easy or hard. It all depends on how |
HP: 111 | fast you went through the cave and if you leveled up |
Exp: 20 | or not. |
Gil: 500 | To win, just keep attacking. If you need to, use an |
Atk: 8 | Antarctic Wind to deal a lot of damage. |
Def: 6 | |
----------------------| If your HP gets too low, use a Potion! |
Weakness: None. | |
----------------------'-------------------------------------------------------|
Steal: n/a |
Drops: Potion, Antarctic Wind, Bacchus's Cider, Arctic Wind. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
My Level: Lv.2 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------'
When you defeat the Boss there will be a couple of scenes. When they end, you
will be returned to the surface, the world map. Go ahead and save if you
want to, and then head south to the nearest village.
<OPTIONAL:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Treasure: Bronze Bracers (x2), Leather Cap, Longsword (x2),
Bronze Knuckles, Sleep Spell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This can be done at any time, but why not now? You will get some fantastic
items!
Before heading south to Ur, go back into Altar Cave. You will enter a different
part of the cave! Take the first right and you'll come to a "dead end". There
are a lot of places like this throughout the game, so keep an eye out for
them! ...or I'll just tell you. ;)
Wait, it's not a dead end! Well, it is, but not here. You can walk through
the wall to a secret area! Open the chests to find: >LEATHER CAP< and
>BRONZE BRACERS<. Now go back, then head down. In the next area, head left
and you'll enter a room with lots of treasure and a hole in the middle!
I bet you can't guess who fell down that *OBVIOUS* hole. Geez!
Open the treasure chests for: >BRONZE BRACERS<, >SLEEP<, >BRONZE KNUCKLES<,
and two >LONGSWORD<. You can fall down the hole if you want, but it won't get
you anything, and you will have to travel all the way to the Crystal's Shrine.
So you might get a level or two. ;)

<PERFECT GAME NOTE 1:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is just a reminder. Luneth comes equipped with a Knife and Vest. The
rest of the main characters, when you get them, also come equipped with a
Knife.
You must *NOT* sell these items! You can't get them anywhere else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you get to Ur, go into the house on the left.(with the blue roof) In
here you will find two wellsprings. One restores HP/MP, and the other
revives any fallen party member. Remember this, it will be very helpful later
on! In the second room of this house, you will find Elder Topapa. Talk to
him and watch the scene.
Now exit the house. Talk to the old man right outside, and he will ask you
to use a Potion on him. If you do, he will give you a >PHOENIX DOWN<. What
a nice guy! Phoenix Downs are hard to come by in this game!
Go east past the Inn. If you talk to the lady by the well, she will tell
you to take the Potions inside the well. There are three Potions down there.
You don't have to talk to the lady, it's just being polite. :)
Inside the Inn. Here you can buy items, watch a pretty girl dance, and
even play the piano! Everyone boos you though. Hehe!
<NOTE:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry to give up your hopes, but the dancing girls and playing the piano yield
no rewards in the end. They are only for pure enjoyment! I see it as a missed
opportunity for two really fun sidequests, but oh well. :(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now head Northeast of the Inn. Up here, you will watch a scene with some kids
bullying another kid. The one being bullied is Arc.
After the scenes, go to the top of the flower patch, by the water. There is
a hidden >POTION< lying on the ground, just waiting to be picked!
The guy north of the weapon shop tells you to take the items in the store-
house, but to be cautious of monsters along the way. Don't worry, they are
only Goblins! When you get to the storehouse, don't enter. There is a
hidden >POTION< near the water. Ok, now go in. :)
In here you will find many useful things. The old man gives you a
very helpful tip. So go ahead and talk to him if you want to. In the pots
to the left you will find two >ANTIDOTE<. Now talk to candle that the
old man told you about. :P
In the secret area you will find: >DAGGER<, >LONGSWORD<, >EYE DROPS<,
>PHOENIX DOWN<, and >CURE<.
You're done in this town, so go ahead and leave. You can and visit the shops
if you want to.
When ready, exit Ur and head south.

MAP 4: File(PNG) Size(233K)
http://www.vortiginous.com/the_icepenguin/Pictures/FFIII/Map%204.PNG
Upon entering Kazus, you will see Arc. You can talk to him now, if you want,
or explore the town. You could even level up Luneth so he stays ahead of the
group, in levels! ;)
Either way, this town seems doomed. They are all "ghosts"!
Ok, the first house you'll see is the one with a blue roof. It has a well-
spring inside if you need it! Head left of this house through the trees. You
will find a small pond! Around the pond, by the trees, you will find
a >MYTHRIL HELM< and a >STAFF<. After you get the staff, immediately go to
the right. There is a hidden path in the trees! In here you can pick up a
>ZEUS'S WRATH<.
Now go back to the main part of town. You can find a >POTION< inside the Inn,
and another >POTION< in the house just north of the Inn. They shouldn't be
too hard to find. ;) If you need to, use the Zoom-In feature to see the
shiny spots! (Zoom-In with the L Button)
<WARNING:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The cave at the north end of town is very dangerous at this point of the
game. Don't go in here WITHOUT saving! In fact, don't go in here at all.
You can't get the treasure within just yet, so we'll come back later! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After talking to Arc, go inside the Inn. One of the ghosts in here is Cid.
He will ask for your help, and lend you his airship! Awesome!! Since there
isn't much else to do, for now, let's go get his ship.
Leave town and walk to the small desert just west of town. On the airship,
you will meet Refia. Yay! ^_^ Watch the scene and now you can fly!
Head northwest to the castle!

The first thing you will do at Castle Sasune is meet Ingus! After the scene,
you will be in the courtyard of the castle. Head left. There will be a tower
over here called "Sasune: West Tower".
Be careful! There are monsters in here and they are pretty tough!
On the 3rd floor, you will find: >HOLY ARROW< and >WOODEN ARROW<. On the top
floor, is a single chest with a >WIGHTSLAYER<. But it's a trap! You'll have
to fight a Griffon! Be prepared!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Boss: Griffon |
----------------------.-------------------------------------------------------|
Level: 6 | Griffon is farely strong. It's Fire attack can do |
HP: 230 | some serious damage if you didn't bother leveling and |
Exp: 130 | rushed on over here from Kazus. |
Gil: 40 | Everytime he casts Fire, immediately heal whoever was |
Atk: 15 | hit by it. Antarctic Winds work well here, too. |
Def: 8 | Also, by using the "Equipment" battle option, you can |
----------------------| equip the Wightslayer you just found. :) |
Weakness: Wind. | |
----------------------'-------------------------------------------------------|
Steal: n/a |
Drops: Potion, Bomb Fragment, Antarctic Wind, Zeus's Wrath, Silence Seal, |
Tranquilizer, Angel's Sigh. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
My Level: |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Head back down the tower and then go right towards "Sasune: East Tower". This
is much better! No monsters! Yay! On the 3rd floor you'll get
>HOLY ARROW< and >WOODEN ARROW< both again. On the top floor, it looks like
someone's room! How nice! Open the three treasure chests for a >POTION<,
>WOODEN ARROW<, and >BOW<. You can even take a nap on the bed! Mmm!
Now, go back to the main gate. Then go up and into the main part of the
castle. In the first room there are some ghosts and a couple beds. If you
are still tired, you can take another nap! ;) Go up to the next room. In
here, go left through the cracked wall. There is a chest with a
>PHOENIX DOWN<. Then head to the opposite side of the room. Go through the
cracked wall over here and then go up the stairs. Follow the hallway to find
a >LEATHER SHIELD< and >BLIZZARD<. There is a cracked wall here too, so go in
it and you'll find a secret room with a >BRONZE KNUCKLES<.
Now go all the way back down stairs. Here, take the other stairs down. Both
chests contain >1,000 Gil<. That's a lot of money! You can go down one
more flight of stairs, but there isn't anything special down there. Just a
clean, refreshing pool of crisp water. Mmmm! ^_^
Now go back up, then up again! Go up until you find the King's Room. Watch
the scene here and you'll be given a job to do! To the cave!

Inside the Sealed Cave, you will fight all undead monsters. If you need to,
level up some! If you rushed everything so far, things might be a little
difficult in this cave.
<BATTLE TIP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Wightslayer you got in Castle Sasune will work really well in here. It's a
light based sword and that's the main weakness of this cave!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you are prepared, go into the Sealed Cave. Take the path all the way
down until you run into a chest with a >POTION<. Then go back up and
take your first right. Follow the path all the way up. You will find a
chest with >CURE<. Then go down and follow the long path.
In the next area, open the chest with >500< Gil. Then talk to the skull
in the upper right of the room. A path will open and you'll encounter
the Princess! Watch the scene and she will temporarily join your party. She
can be helpful in battle by casting Aero and Cure! Nice Princess!
Go down to the next area. Follow the path to a fork in the road. Go down
first to find an >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Continue on the path and you'll find
another treasure chest with >EYE DROPS<. Then take the path to the left and
follow it until you meet Djinn standing on his oddly placed..... rug?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Boss: Djinn |
----------------------.-------------------------------------------------------|
Level: 7 | Djinn gets to attack 2 times per round! Despite this |
HP: 600 | scariness, he is very slow. You should be able to |
Exp: 200 | get a few hits in before he does, so you'll be OK. |
Gil: 1400 | Blizzard and Antarctic Winds work amazing wonders in |
Atk: 20 | fight. I would suggest attacking with your strongest |
Def: 8 | physical fighters and cast freezing Ice magic with |
----------------------| the weaker ones. |
Weakness: Ice, Water. | |
----------------------'-------------------------------------------------------|
Steal: n/a |
Drops: Potion, Bomb Fragment, Sheep Pillow, Lamia Scale, Bomb Arm. |

Once you beat him, you will be teleported back to the Crystal. Here you will
watch a scene, and then some credits? Weird. After this a moogle will appear
and tell you about Jobs. Yes, you get the ability to change Jobs! Finally! :)
For more information on Jobs, go to the "Job Info" section. Ctrl+F. {WIND}
<SIDEQUESTS:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to, you can start the Onion Knight sidequest. This can be done at
any time during the rest of the game, so don't feel pressured to get it
finished. Besides, having the Onion Knight this early in the game won't help
you any. It is very, VERY weak when your characters are at low levels.
Go to the "Finding the Onion Knight" section if you want it now. Ctrl+F. {OK}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<GETTING 9999 HP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is something that you shouldn't worry about this early in the game. In
fact, you won't need to worry about it until your level 55-60!
The first time I reached max HP, I didn't worry about until I was level 55!
If this is something that interests you, everything you will need to know is
explained in the "Getting 9999 HP" section. Ctrl+F. {HP}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Choose any setup you want. I chose this team:
Warrior-Monk-Thief-Warrior.
The reason I chose this setup is because I'm all about power. I don't like
having Mages in my party. :P You might think I'm crazy, huh? Hehe. Well, I
do have a lot of yummy Potions and battle items!
Now, head back to Castle Sasune. After the scenes, the curse will be lifted
and you'll get your first key item: >FOLDING CANOE<. Double prizes!
Now go get your airship and fly back to Kazus.

When you enter, Refia will run off with her father. Since everything is back
to normal, you can go shopping! Be sure to stock up on Potions, Eye Drops,
and Antidotes! Those are always helpful!
<MYTHRIL MINES:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SAVE before doing this!!! Enemies in here are really strong! In the mine,
follow the path to the right and then up the railroad tracks. In this room,
there is a secret switch at the top left, on the pillar. It opens up to a
secret area. At the end of this path you'll find two >MYTHRIL SWORD<. This will
save you 1000 Gil! Hooray!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go to the Inn and talk to Cid. Watch the scene and Cid will temporarily join
the party. Then head to Refia's house.(the one above the Inn) Watch the scenes
here and the airship will be ready to go! It's waiting just outside of town.

With the new Mythril Ram attached to your airship, you can break through
the rocks in Nelv Valley. It's too bad your ship doesn't survive the massive
collision. :(
Now that the rocks are destroyed, you can access a new part of the World Map!
Head south to find Canaan. When you enter Canaan, watch the scene and Cid will
leave your party. It's unfortunate, he was very helpful in battle!
In the house connected to the Inn, you can find a >MALLET< and >GOLD NEEDLE<.
In the northeast part of town you will find some stairs. Up here you'll gain
access to the river that runs through town. Follow the river and at the end
there is a chest with an >ELIXIR<. But don't be hasty! This elixir is NOT
for you!
Head to the northwest part of town and you will find Cid's house! Go in and
talk to him. Mrs. Cid is sick so you'll want to give her the elixir. Talk to
her and give it to her. Don't worry, it's worth it!
After the scene, talk to the lamp, and a secret passageway will open! Don't you
just love them? In here you will find 12 treasure chests! 12!! 4 are hidden
in the wall. Told you it was worth it!
Next, go talk to Salina. She is in the house connected to the Inn. She will
tell you about her boyfriend, Desch. He ran off to a mountain! A mountain
with a Dragon! Oh no! Go after him and help him!

Enemies here can cause petrification, so stock up on some Gold Needles! You
can buy them at Canaan Item Shop.
<NOTE:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you encounter the rare enemy "Rust Bird", steal a Phoenix Down from it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follow the path up the mountain. At the first fork, go down to grab a
>PHOENIX DOWN<. Then continue back up. Take your first right and grab the
chest containing >AERO<. Continue along the path again and grab the treasure
chest with a >GOLD NEEDLE< inside.
That was......short. Go up and watch the scene. OH NO! BAHAMUT!! He'll
pick you up and toss you into his nest. Check out all of those little
baby Bahamuts! So cute! :) Anyways, talk to that funny looking guy hiding
in the nest. Haha. Watch the scene and....Bahamut attacks!!
OK, so you can't actually kill this boss. He is way too powerful so you have
no choice but to run! If you leveled up enough, I'm sure you could kill him
but that would take a LONG LONG time!
After you run away from Bahamut, you'll watch another scene and Desch will
jump off the mountain. Genius!
By the way, Desch gives you a >MINI< spell, which you will need to enter
Tozus.

http://www.vortiginous.com/the_icepenguin/Pictures/FFIII/Map%2012.PNG
Now you're back on the world map! Be careful! You have never been
to this part! Walk south just a little bit and you can enter a small forest
area.
Healing Copse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In here are 3 wellsprings that heal EVERYTHING! One restores HP/MP,
one revives all KO'd party members, and one cures all status ailments! Mmmm,
water is so cool.
Also, if you talk to the tiny person here, he will give you a >MINI< spell.
<DID YOU KNOW?:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you switch from a physical-based Job to a magic-based Job, your MP will
stay at zero. So whenever you do this throughout the rest of the game,
remember to restore your MP using an Inn or an HP/MP wellspring.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To enter Tozus, change one of your character's Job to one that can
learn Mini. I chose a Red Mage.
Now you must cast Mini on ALL 4 party members to be able to enter Tozus, which
is located South, in the southern area of the LARGE forest.
<BATTLE TIP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't forget that you are MINI! If you have a physical attack team, they
will do HORRIBLE damage. You might want to change them to a magical attack
team. This way you can defeat your enemies!
I used 3 Red Mages and a Thief. Hey, I gotta have my stealing fix! :P
Also, put them all in the back row since magic isn't affected by row.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tozus
~~~~~
Once in Tozus, go ahead and explore. I mean it is a new town!
When you're ready head to the northwest part of town and enter the house. This
is a doctor's house. First off, Zoom-In the camera with the L Button. Then
walk around the room to find 4 shiny spots! You'll get: >MYTHRIL BRACERS<,
>FIRE STAFF<, >FIRA<, and >CURA<. Nice!
When you talk to the doctor he'll ask for an Antidote. Give him one and he'll
open the secret passage. This is your path. Along the way you will see two
very obvious treasure chests. Open them for two >PHOENIX DOWNS<.
<BATTLE TIP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make sure you stay at the Inn. You'll want your MP to be full before going
down here. You're Mini after all and need as much MP as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Continue down the stairs and follow the tunnels until you reach the world map!
Don't remove Mini just yet. You will need it up ahead. And also, don't switch
your Jobs back to normal. Not just yet! ;)
Enter the nearby cave.

Inside the cove, follow the path and you'll eventually meet some, well,
Vikings! Sweet!
When you see the group of Vikings sitting at the table, head south. There is
a secret passage leading to a >SPARK DAGGER<. This is a very good weapon at
this point of the game!
Head back up. The door on the right leads to some shops and an Inn. Go ahead
and buy some stuff if you want. Now head up the stairs.
<BATTLE TIP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Again, make sure you stay at the Inn. You'll want full MP for up ahead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here you can go left or right. Go left first to what will seem like just
another dead end. But wait! There is a secret passage here too! Take the
the path and head down the stairs. Down in this room, you will find a
wellspring that revives any fallen allies and a >VIKING AXE< and
>3,000 Gil<. Very nice!
Head back. You'll see a moogle along the way. Send some letters to any of
the available FFIII Denizens, if you want to.
Just below the moogle is another VERY well hidden passage. I mean, you can't
see any sign of it!! You'll find 3 treasure chests to get a >BLIZZARA<,
>FIRA>, and >THUNDARA<. Oh yeah! :)
Continue along. You'll see a cannon around here. It's fun to shoot it for
about 10 shots, but that's it. :P Go down and meet the Viking Leader. He
will offer you his ship, to keep, if you help them out! It's a DEAL! Head up
and take the stairs outside.
<NEPTO DRAGON:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No matter what you do, DON'T get on that ship!! You'll fight the ultra
powerful Nepto Dragon that deals +10000 damage each round! So yeah, avoid him
at all costs! Except if you are WAY over leveled! Haha. Oh.
If you want a complete Bestiary, don't worry, the Nepto Dragon is automatically
logged.(except without stats, unfortunately)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walk along the cape until you reach Nepto Temple.

After entering, walk up to the Dragon Statue and talk to it. Watch the scene
about the missing eye, and then enter the dragon's mouth. Now you see why you
stayed in Mini this whole time?! :) Follow the path until you reach a room
with two holes in it.
Go in the left hole first to obtain >SHELL ARMOR< and >SHELL HELM<. Now go
back and drop down the right hole.
Along this path you will find a >SERPENT SWORD< and another hole! Go down the
hole and at the end of it all you'll find...

Next, head back to Vikings' Cove. Talk to the leader and the Enterprise is now
YOURS!!! :)
Let's go travel the seas!
<PERFECT GAME NOTE 2:>

Every sea creature here won't be accessible later in the game. It's hard to
not encounter them now, but just in case, make sure you fight them anyways.

Check out that treasure list!!! Oh my!
Now that you have the Enterprise, you can go explore the world! Well,
mostly. ;) Obviously, there are a ton of treasures that you can get right now,
and we'll start by going to Tokkul, which is located southwest from the
Nepto Temple. They are practically touching! Close enough anyway.
{12.1} Tokkul
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In town, go to the northwest part of town. You can find a >LAMIA SCALE< at the
base of the single tree. Now go south of the tree. You can find a >GREAT BOW<
in the crate to the left of the old house. Then go one more house down, not
the one with the blue roof, and you can find a >BACCHUS'S CIDER<. Now that I
look at them, the houses look alike!
<REMINDER:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sure hope that your party isn't still in Mini. Hehe! ....like mine. -_-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the east side of town you can find an >ICE STAFF<. Zoom-In if you can't
find it right away. In the house at the north part of town you can find a
>SONIC KNUCKLES<, >KENPO GI<, and >SERPENT SWORD< in the basement.
Leave Tokkul. When you get to the world map, head south, following the
coastline. It will shortly start taking you west. Eventually you'll come upon
a huge forest with a circle of grass in the middle! The small forest here is
a Chocobo's Woods!
Go inside and catch one! They're so cute! ^_^
From Chocobo's Woods, head west. There is a lonely town on, what looks like,
the EDGE of the world!! No way!
{12.2} Village of the Ancients
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is only one hidden treasure here! Go ahead, find it! You at least know
it's there, right? By the way, it's another >SERPENT SWORD<. OK, if you wanna
know where it is now, look below. ^_^
There is also a little mini-quest you can do in this town! From the entrance,
head up all the stairs, going to the center of town. Did you see that little
kid with BRIGHT orange hair? Talk to him. You know what to do! Hehe. Let's
go for a ride on a Chocobo!
When you get back, he'll give you......Gnomish Bread? Yeah, thanks, I guess.
You can do this as much as you like, if you really want. I did it 10 times to
see if something might happen, but nothing! Oh well.
<SERPENT SWORD:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you find it yet? Hehe. :P Go to the well on the right side of the Inn. See
that little white flower up North? There it is, hiding away! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're done in this town, go back to Chocobo Woods and catch a ride back to
your ship. When you are back on your ship, head west from Tokkul. The
coastline will curve and start to go north. Keep going until you see a
castle. Go over and enter.
{12.3} Castle Argus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This place is disturbingly empty. In the second room of the castle, there
are 4 lit candles on the wall and a table in the left corner. Talk to the far
right candle to open a hidden passage. In this passage there are some stairs
and 3 treasure chests! Walk through the wall to get these. They contain a
total of 3000 Gil! Mmmm, money. Now head up those stairs! This next area is
LOADED with treasure, too! You'll get 4700 Gil!
Go up the next stairs and you'll be on top of the castle. Go left first and
follow the path until you reach a door. It's locked! But guess what, you can
pick the lock! To do this, you need to have a Thief in your party. Ooh, my
favorite Job! :P
<REMEMBER:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To open locked doors with a Thief, it has to be at the top of your party.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this room, talk to the dresser to open up the treasure room. You'll get:
>Light Arrow<, >Killer Bow<, and >Medusa Arrow<.
Head back outside and take a right. Another locked door and ANOTHER treasure
room! I love this castle! You find: >BOOK OF LIGHT<, >BOOK OF FIRE<,
>ICE ARROW<, >SCHOLAR ROBE<, >BOOK OF ICE<, and >FIRE ARROW<. Now head back
to the main part of the castle. When you get back to the room with the 4 lit
candles, go up the stairs.
First, take notice of the stairs you came up. There are stairs just like this
to the right of the round table. You can't see them because they are covered
by a roof! In this area, there are 2 treasures: >BOMB FRAGMENT< and
>ANTARCTIC WIND<. There is also a secret passage to the right. Enter it
between the two chests. You'll find: >ARCTIC WIND<.
If you need it, there are a couple wellsprings outside. Just head south of the
round table and you'll be in a courtyard with an HP/MP and REVIVE wellspring!
Woohoo! :)
{12.4} Living Woods
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This place is located to the Southwest of Castle Argus. It's a round patch of
forest surrounded by some mountains. There isn't much to do here, except talk
to some fairies, but I thought you might want to know anyways. ;)
That's about it for this section.

First you will need to go to Gulgan Gulch. From Nepto Temple, head northwest.
Here you will find an empty castle. This is Castle Argus.(for those of you
that skipped Section 12) From here head northwest again. Go into the
mountains and you will find a Chocobo Woods and Gulgan Gulch! First, let's go
to the gulch.
Gulgan Gulch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This place is AWESOME! I love the waterfalls! On the 2nd floor talk to the
guy in the middle of the group. You learn about Desch's destiny and receive:
>TOAD< spell. Then across the "secret" bridge, you'll find: >FIRE STAFF<,
>ICE STAFF<, and a >MAGE ROBE<. Now head outside and go north to the Tower of
Owen. You can walk, or go get your ship, it's up to you. Oh, and yes, we are
done treasure hunting. There was a lot to do, but wasn't it worth it?
Ok, to the Tower of Owen!!
Tower of Owen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you enter here, there may seem like a whole lot of nothing, but there is!
To progress into the Tower of Owen, you must use the Toad Spell you just
acquired. Don't use it just yet though. Walk down through the frog filled
sewer. It will take you left. Then take your first up and then follow the
path to a dead end. You'll watch a scene here. Do what Luneth suggests, and
turn everyone into toads! Poor Refia! :(
<DID YOU KNOW?:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you switch from a physical-based Job to a magic-based your MP will stay
at zero. Wait didn't I say this already? Hmmm... Anyway, if you want to
restore your MP, head to the nearest Town's Inn or Wellspring. :P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this next area follow the path. You'll see a short scene along the way and
then head up the stairs when you get to them. Here head across the walkway
and grab a >ECHO HERBS< to the right. Continue along and head up another set
of stairs!
There is nothing in this next area, so just follow the path around to find
some more stairs. Up here, head left, across the walkways and grab that chest
to the right for a >SPARK DAGGER<. Continue up to the next floor.
Head all the way left to trigger another scene. This time he is telling you
something useful! Now go to the "door" on the north wall. It's not actually
a door, but a SWITCH! Yay! It will open a path to you, so take it! You will
find some stairs, and further to the left an >ECHO HERBS<. Now go up. This
is another very simple path. It just wraps around to the next flight of stairs.
On this level, go right first to grab a >BOMB FRAGMENT< and ECHO HERBS<. Then
go back to the left and up to the next level. Follow the walkways, then take
a right to find a >SONIC KNUCKLES<. Now head all the way to the left, then
down to find MORE stairs! Geez! Lots of 'em!
Guess what? This is the final floor! Yahoo! Go left, down, then right to
pick up the very hot >SALAMAND SWORD<! Then head all the way left again, then
go up to find another treasure chest: >FLAME MAIL<. Ok, now go down, then
right. Pick up the >ZEUS'S WRATH< next to the stairs, and go up! On this
floor you'll encounter a demon!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Boss: Medusa |

Level: 17 | Medusa gets to attack 2 times per round! This is bad |
HP: 3000 | becuase her attacks can sometimes petrify your party. |

again free to explore! With that whirlpool gone, you can access two whole new
places! ......yay! ^_^
Onward!
<PERFECT GAME NOTE 3:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every sea creature here won't be accessible later in the game. It's hard to
not encounter them now, but just in case, make sure you fight them anyways.
Enemies: Anet, Mermaid, Seahorse, Sea Serpent.

As mentioned in the scenes, your next destination is the Dwarven Isle. But
let's make and *OUT OF THE WAY* stop! Hehe.
Go past where the whirlpool used to be and sail east. Down this long stretch
of sea, you'll find a town called Gysahl!
In the southeast corner of this town you can find 3 hidden items:
>GYSAHL GREENS<, and two >MAGIC KEY<. Head over to the chocobo stable. It
is the house next to the garden. You can find two more >GYSAHL GREENS< in the
pots toward the back. Also, there is a secret tunnel leading to the inside
of the chocobo's fence! Fun! Oh yeah, and you might be coming back to this
chocobo stable if you are doing a perfect file. ;)
In the house north of the chocobo stable, you can buy Magic Keys! They can
open any locked door, so I suggest you buy some! There is also a secret
passage leading to the area behind the counter. You can open a treasure
chest with a >SHURIKEN< inside!
Next, head to the Inn. In this first room you'll find a few people and
another secret passage!! This one is located to the right, through the wall.
You can find a man in here who will tell you A LOT of coolness. Try it, go
talk to him!

My reason for 2104 damage and 22 hits is because I have a JobLv. 99 Thief. :P
The only thing left to do here is go shopping if you need to. So leave town,
and head ALL the way back to the Tower of Owen *area*. From here, head west
to find an island with 2 caves and a Chocobo Woods.
The northern cave is inaccessible right now, so enter the southern cave.

If you skipped section 14, the Dwarven Hollows are located Northwest of the
Tower of Owen. It's the southern cave on the island.
Walk through the first room and down the stairs. This next area is the main
hall of the Dwarven Hollows. You can find shops at the north end, the
treasury at the south end, and the Subterranean Lake at the southwest end.
Talk to the guy standing guard of the shrine in the middle. You will hear
his plea and I guess agree to help him! So when you are ready, head to
the Subterranean Lake. When you get here, you'll see another scene similar to
the one at the Owen Tower. And again, poor Refia! Hey, she doesn't like
toads! :(
You'll need a white magic caster to use toad.

Be very careful in this area! There is a monster called Manticore that can
petrify your whole party! I was typing stuff in this guide and then looked
over at my DS to see that 3 of my characters were petrified, and I hadn't saved
for quite a while! Lucky for me I made it out alive! So, BE CAREFUL! ;)
Follow the path across the 2 bridges and grab the >GOLD NEEDLE< along the way.
Then next room is empty. Just go down the stairs to proceed. Across the
bridge, open the chest for a >ZEUS'S WRATH<. Go across the next bridge and
left to find another >ZEUS'S WRATH< and >GOLD NEEDLE<. Head north across the
bridge and get the >GOLD NEEDLE< here as well and then go up the stairs on the
right.
Here you'll find 6000 Gil on a straight path to the reason you are down here in
the first place, GUTSCO!

Level: 17 | Gutsco gets to attack 2 times per round! His main |

The Molten Cave is just north of the Dwarven Hollows.(on the same island)
Now that you have a Horn of Ice, the scorching Flames will burn out.
Follow the path down and then head left past the lava. Up here you will find
an >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Now for the scary part!
You have to run on the lava! It slowly damages your HP, so be sure to keep
healed with potion or Cure spells.
At the fork, head right to find another >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Go back and then go
on the left path. Follow it to the next area. Here you will have to travel
on the lava again, so be careful! At the fork in this lava, go down first to
find a chest containing a >FREEZING BLADE<. Mmm, delicious! Go back and the
turn left to go under a waterfall of lava! Here, go down and get a
>HI-POTION<. Go all the way up now to get a >PHOENIX DOWN<. Then head
down then left to find some stairs leading to the next area.
Follow this easy path grabbing >IMPACT CLAWS< and >PHOENIX DOWN< along the
way. At the end of the path, there is a rock you need to talk to. It will
open your way to the left. After the following room you'll be in a room
with very familiar music! ;) You know what THAT means!!!
Oh look, it's Gutsco...

After defeating the powerful, transformed Gutsco, watch a scene involving the
crystal. NEW JOBS! Alright!
For more information on Jobs, go to the "Job Info" section. Ctrl+F. {FIRE}
Go to the back of the crystal room and warp on out! Then head back to the
Dwarven Hollows and return the Horns of Ice. The Dwarf you return the horns
to will also give you a >MAGIC KEY<.
<DWARVEN TREASURY:> {DT}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For saving the Horns of Ice, the dwarves will give you access to their HUGE
treasure room!!! Just go talk to the dwarf who is guarding it and he will show
you the way. Inside you will get the following items: Elixir, Ottershroom,
Gauntlets, Killer Bow, Gold Needle, Echo Herbs, Scholar Robe, Book of Fire,
Book of Ice, Scholar Hat, Knight Armor, Book of Light, Phoenix Down (x2),
Heroic Shield, and Gysahl Greens. WOW!!! Now that is one GIGANTIC reward! :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now you say goodbye to the Dwarven Hollows. On your way out, you will encounter
an injured fellow. Watch the scene and head to Tokkul to help those people.
If you didn't go there earlier, it is located southwest of the Nepto Temple. In
Tokkul, all you can do is watch the very intense scene.

<PERFECT GAME NOTE 4:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To get a Complete Bestiary and 100% Treasure, you will need to get every chest
and encounter all the enemies in this area. You can't come back here once
you have defeated the Boss!
Here's a quick list of the enemies: Demon, Pharaoh, Lemur, Dullahan, and Lamia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You've been imprisoned! How rude!
Walk to the right, through the wall, and talk to the soldiers who have been
imprisoned, too. You'll learn what has happened to their Kingdom. One of the
soldiers is a spy and will attack you! Hehe, he isn't hard to beat. ;)
The far right cell has an open gate, so go through it and take a right. Go into
the next open cell and you'll find a guard lying down. He'll give you a Mini
Spell so you can enter the tiny hole. That pot next to the hole will fully
cure your party! Thanks Hein! ^_^ Enter the hole once you have cast Mini on
your entire party.
When you are through the hole, take your party out of Mini. Follow the path up
and around to a large spaced area. Immediately go down to find a treasure
chest with a >HOLY ARROW<. Go back and then head up into the other path.
Here you'll get two >PHOENIX DOWN<. Go back again and head left into the next
part of the castle. There are two paths you can go up here. The right one
has a >PHOENIX DOWN< and the left one has some stairs to the next floor.
In this area you'll have 3 doors right in front of you. Within these rooms you
will find: >BOMB FRAGMENT<, >ANTARCTIC WIND<, >ZEUS'S WRATH<, and 9000 Gil.
Now take the path outside of these doors either left or right and it will wrap
around to another staircase. Up here, grab the chest straight ahead to get
a >ROYAL SWORD<. Then continue to the left to the next area. Go up the
stairs in this room and you'll then be outside! Follow the tree branch all the
way up, grabbing the >PHOENIX DOWN< along the way.
Back in the tree, go left first to grab an >ELIXIR<. Then head all the way up
to find a >RUNE BOW<. Go back down a take that left. Go up the stairs to the
final area and you will meet Hein. He's......a skeleton?
<BATTLE TIP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would be a good idea to have a Scholar in your party for this fight. If you
do decide to have one, only use him to see Hein's weakness and heal injured
party members.

Exp: 3464 | confuse your party members. If he does this, hurry |
Gil: 4300 | and attack the victim. |
Atk: 47 | Use magic. Magic is strong againt this Boss. If he |

How did it go? :P He was definitely the hardest boss yet! Hehe. I thought
he was pretty powerful, anyways.
After the battle, you'll watch a short scene and a little fairy will give you
the >FANG OF WIND<. The tree will tell you something VERY exciting after this,
so pay very close attention! Ooo, aren't you excited for what's to come? :D
<REMINDER:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In case you missed it; During the cutscene, you were teleported to the Living
Woods. Don't worry, there wasn't any treasure there. ;) After this you won't
be able to access the Living Woods ever again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back on the world map, head to your ship. Now that you have saved the Argus
Kingdom, the castle will be re-occupied! Let's go pay them a visit!
Once you make it to Castle Argus, go inside. Remember the second room with the
4 lit candles? Take that secret passageway that you opened. Keep going through
here until you reach the roof of the castle. Head left, then up, and enter the
door here that used to be locked. There is a lady in here. Talk to her and
she will give you two >ELIXIR<. Thanks!
Now head back through the castle to the round table room! The King and his men
are sitting at the table. Talk to the King and he will give you the
>WHEEL OF TIME<! This is what Cid needs take make another airship, so let's
go see Cid!
Head to Canaan, that's where Cid lives. Remember? :P Go to his house and
talk to him. He will use the Wheel of Time to turn your little boat into an
airship! Yay!!
The scene shown here is probably the most important one so far. And it lasts
for more than 3 seconds, too! Haha.
To board your ship, push A. To land, push B. You can only land in water.

When you are fully prepared, fly off the edge of the continent. You'll watch a
scene with Luneth, Arc, Refia, and Ingus trying to break through the clouds.
When they make it through, you will be on the surface of the world. To make it
even *BETTER*, is the wonderful music that plays on this new world map! Ahh. :)
This place is huge! The map seems rather.....empty, but there are a few pieces
of land that you can see on your map. Make your way to island farthest north.
At this island you will find a tiny forest and a deserted ship. Enter the
ship.
<PERFECT GAME NOTE 5:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know they're kind of hard to miss, but make sure you get the Zeus's Wrath
and Blood Sword. You can't get these chests again!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Head down to the bottom deck. You'll find two chests with a >ZEUS's WRATH<,
and the excellent >BLOOD SWORD<. Now talk to the Old man standing near the
beds. After the scene, give Aria an antidote. She will be cured and wake up!
She'll suggest that if you take her to the Temple of Water that you might be
able to return light to the world. Let's GO! ;)

Once you leave the ship, sail or fly over to the largest island. On this
island, you will find the Temple of Water and the Cave of Tides. First, enter
the temple. Follow the hallways back to the Crystal's room and Aria will find
a Crystal Shard. Now go back outside and into the cave.
Inside the Cave of Tides, head south across the bridge and follow the path
until you reach a door. Aria will open it. In this next area, head across the
longest bridge in the world. Enjoy the pretty waterfalls, too! At the other
side, head down.
This place is very simple, so just head through it until you finally reach a
bridge heading east, and a staircase heading north. Take the stairs, and at
the end of this LONG path you'll find >BLIZZAGA<. Enjoy! Now go back to
that bridge. Across here is another bridge and then a path leading to some
more stairs. Go down to the next level.
In this area, there is water everywhere! Follow the path around the pool and
go up the stairs when you see them. Up here is the Crystal of Water. After
the events, you'll be attacked by Kraken!

When awake, go explore the new town. Talk to everyone you see to learn what
you have to do next. Buy whatever you might need. The Armor and Weapon Shops
have a ton of new equipment. If you are planning to buy it all, you'll need
some serious Gil. To be exact, you will need 96,400 Gil! Whoa! That's a lot!
<TIP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go outside the village and save. ;)
If you do go outside, to level up or something, try to avoid going too far to
the north. Up north are some Guardian Statues that will kill you if you don't
have the required items.
Also, if you go south, don't cross the Bottemless Bog. You will sink and die.
Hehe. This place is DANGEROUS...ly.....cheesey. >_>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When ready, go and talk to the person south of the Armor Shop. Here you will
meet the TRUE Warriors of Light!! Haha, not! After the scene, head over to
the house east of the Weapon Shop. The Old Man in here will grant you access
to the water canal.
When you get into the water, head up first. Enter the garden and there you can
pick four >GYSAHL GREEN<. Back in the water, head left. When you pass the
Weapon and Armor shops, take the first path going north. You can walk up this
waterfall. Keep going north and onto the tiny island. You can find:
>BLACK GARB<, >BLACK COWL<, and >THIEF GLOVES< hidden on the ground. This is
an excellent find for my lovely Thief! Yours too, if you have one!
Now go to the southeast corner of town via the water canal. Here you will
find the entrance to the smelly sewers! Down here, make your way across the
first room. Go down the stairs to the next level and do the same as before.
Once at the other side of the room, grab the >CAT CLAWS< before heading down.
On this next floor, follow the path and a scene will take place when you go to
cross the bridge. Save the Old Guys! After they are rescued, head to the
right and go down one more level. Down here enter the pathway to the right.
This will take you to a room with a >DIAMOND BELL< and >HAMMER<. Go back out
and go left across the bridge. Enter the doorway here. Grab the first chest
for some >KAISER KNUCKLES< and go into the water and up the other side to find
two more treasure chests! They contain: >POWER BRACERS< and >POISON DAGGER<.
Leave this room and continue the path to the up, left, down, right, stairs.
Up here, head right to find Delilah! After the scenes, you will get the
>LEVIGRASS SHOES<. Yahoo! Let's go cross the Bottomless Bog! Leave Amur, and
head south to Goldor Manor!
<MY PROGRESS:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since we're at a HUGE turning point in the game, I will share my party info
with you. From the start of the game I've kept the same Jobs, except when I
needed to use Mini or Toad.
NOTE: I leveled up a little before heading to Goldor Manor.
Luneth - Lv. 27, Warrior - JobLv. 78, HP = 771
Arc - Lv. 27, Monk - JobLv. 91, HP = 771
Refia - Lv. 27, Thief - JobLv. 99, HP = 781
Ingus - Lv. 27, Warrior - JobLv. 81, HP = 771
Because I love stealing so much, I leveled Refia's Thief Job to 99 at the
beginning of the game. So my levels are probably higher than average. ^_^

When you enter Goldor Manor, head north. It's tempting, I know, but don't take
any of the other paths.
Ok, head north. Through here, follow the path up and around. You'll then head
down, passing some book shelves along the way. Ignore them, there is nothing
there. On the last row, go right and you'll find a huge line of treasure!
Open them all for eleven >GOLDEN SWORD< and one >WYVERN CLAWS<. What the heck
are we gonna do with THIS!? Eleven golden swords? Wow...
<PERFECT GAME NOTE 6:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the only place to find the Gold Sword! So if you want a Perfect Item
list, then DON'T SELL any of them!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Head back to the entrance of the manor. In here there are 4 locked doors. You
need to use Magic Keys to open these doors, or a Thief. So, which one is it
going to be?
<REMEMBER:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you use a Thief to unlock doors, it must be at the top of your party. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They're all pretty empty. But the way to go is the northeast room. In this
room you will find a path to the left. Take it. This path will go down then
back up to another area.
This area is easy if you know where to go. There aren't any items, so just
run through it as fast as possible. From the start of this room: take your
first left, take your first down, first left, go all the way left until you
can't anymore, then head up. In here is the idiot who locked up your
Enterprise! Let's get 'em!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Boss: Goldor |

Level: 26 | Goldor gets to attack 2 times per round! He has a few|
HP: 9000 | status attacks as well, which is bad. |
Exp: 6560 | This gold man is pretty much immune to magic. So you |
Gil: 9900 | will be forced to use all physical attacks. If he |
Atk: 53 | inflicts blind on any of your party, immediately heal |
Def: 28 | it. If you have a healer with Cura, then you should |

After the fight watch the scene and take the >CHAIN KEY< from off the floor.
Now venture all the way back to your ship and free it from its chains! Yay! :D
If you want to skip Section 23, go to Section 24. Crtl+F. {SK}
<PERFECT GAME NOTE 7:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once you have your Enterprise back, you MUST encounter a Sea Dragon! He can be
found anywhere in the sea. If you don't do this before you get the Nautilus,
you'll miss him forever! (the Sea Dragon is not on floating continent)

When cruising in your new airship, avoid flying over Saronia Kingdom. You'll
recognize it as the HUGE castle in the Northwest of the World Map. If you fly
over it, bad things will happen and the story will continue. Wait, don't we
want that to happen? NO! Need more treasure.
First, let's visit Duster Village. It is located on a tiny island in the
middle of the World Map.
{23.1} Duster Village
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside town, there are a bunch a weirdos. Hehe. Talk to everyone.
When you find the guy that talks about Items, and the guy who talks about
chocobos, look close by. You can find two >EARTHEN DRUMS<, one by each guy.
Sadly, that's all there is to do in this town, so you can leave. If you want,
go shop! ;)
Back on the World Map, head northwest. On the north part of this continent,
there is another town we can visit.
{23.2} Replito
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the east side of this town, there is a Gulgan hiding in the trees. Next
to him is a hidden >PHOENIX DOWN<. You can find a >TURTLE SHELL< on the tree
to the left of the moogle, and another >TURTLE SHELL< above the 2 houses at
the west side of town.(by the trees) And right above this turtle shell, in
that hidden area in the trees, you can find an >ELIXIR<.
Next go to the house at the northeast part of town.(blue roof) You can enter
the back of this house. In here you can find an >ELIXIR<, and talk to an
Old Man, who will give you a useful tip! Well, that is all in this town, so
let's continue the journey! :)

To continue your journey, fly over Saronia Kingdom, near the castle. A scene
will occur and you will be shot down! Nooo!! :(
When you gain control again, there will be two lines of soldiers in front of
you. One on the left and one on the right. Looks like they are gonna fight!
Instead of heading north into the castle, go south. Here you will be taken to
the middle of Saronia Kingdom. You can access 4 parts of this Kingdom so have
fun exploring! Choose whichever one you want to go to first! ;)
Be sure and talk to everyone you see! You'll learn a lot about what going on
in this War-filled Kingdom. You may also find what you need to do next! ;)
Northwestern Saronia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, so there isn't much to do here at this time. The magic shop is locked
and some retard is blocking the library. Grr. There are a few townsfolk that
you can talk to, if you want.
Northeastern Saronia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are more people here you can talk to. Also, there is a weapon shop
open! You can buy a Thunder Spear and Wind Spear, just so you know.
At the base of the trees just south of the locked Weapon Shop is an >ELIXIR<.
Southwestern Saronia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the HUGE house at the east side of town, you'll find a guy in there who has
found the secret to finding Fat Chocobo! Talk to him and he will demonstrate!
At the right side of this room, is a secret passageway that leads to a very
full treasure room! Oh yeah! You'll find....whaaaaat? 11 gysahl greens?
How disappointing! At least you know how to find Fat Chocobo now, right? ;)
When ready, go to the tavern at the north part of town. When you enter
here, you'll watch a scene. Feeling his pain, Arc sticks up for Prince Alus.
Defeat the bullies and watch the scene.
<PERFECT GAME NOTE 8:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you don't get these items right now, you will lose your chance to get them
later. This is because Alus will leave your party soon.
So with Alus in your party, go talk to the orange guy at the southwest part of
town. He will give you a >WIND SPEAR<. And the other orange guy on the
"island" in the middle of town, will give you a >DRAGON MAIL<. Thanks Alus! :P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Southeastern Saronia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here there is something worth actually doing! In the middle of town
you will find the Dragon Spire.
<BUMMER:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 2 wooden doors on the outside of the Spire have no purpose. :(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Climb this tower to find some nice treasure at the top! Of course, you'll
have to fight some monsters on the way, but they shouldn't be too mean!
At the top you will find: three >DRAGON MAIL<, three >THUNDER SPEAR<,
two >PHOENIX DOWN<, four >DRAGON HELM<. If you have a dragoon in your party,
you must be feeling pretty lucky! :P
When you are all ready, take Prince Alus to the castle. Watch the very
dramatic scenes, and you'll find out the truth behind the King's madness!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Boss: Garuda |

Watch the scenes after the fight.
When you gain control again, head to the right of the room. There is a secret
passage in this wall. Follow the stairs down to find a treasure room! You'll
find: >BOOMERANG<, >SELENE BOW<, >TOME OF LIGHT<, >SCHOLAR HAT<, >MAIN GAUCHE<,
>TOME OF ICE<, >GOLEM STAFF<, >DRAGON HAMMERr<, >TOME OF FIRE<, >MEDUSA ARROW<,
>RUSTY MAIL<, and >ICE ROD<. Now that is one hefty prize!
For even better results, head down the stairs until you reach the end. There
is ANOTHER secret passage to the right! AHH! I wanna scream for joy! In this
secret room you'll find: >RUSTY MAIL<, >VIKING HELM<, >EARTHEN BELL<,
>DRAGON HELM<, >GAIA VEST<, and >VIKING MAIL<. Woooooooow! You've just hit
the jackpot!
<PERFECT GAME NOTE 9:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Rusty Mails are simply that. Rusty. Not special. :( I'm just letting you
know, because they aren't used for anything in the game other than having a
spot in your treasure collection, so don't sell them! >_>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When finished looking at your new treasure, head back up to the room where you
started. You can go up to talk to some castle people or go down to leave
the castle. Let's go down.
Out here, you'll be in the courtyard of the castle.
Talk to the guard at the northeast part of the courtyard. GRRR!!!
Go into the left building first. There is a secret passage to the right.
Find your way through these passages and you'll find two >PHOENIX DOWN< at
the very end.
<NOTE:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't worry about the room to the left of this dead-end. You can't get there
at this point, but will be able to later on.(from a different area)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now head back to the courtyard. Enter the building on the right.
Talk to the four guys in here and they will upgrade your ship!! Excellent!!!
Leave the castle and board you brand new ship! Yay!
With Saronia Kingdom back in order, you can visit the towns for some new
excitement!
Northwestern Saronia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The library is now open and has some very interesting information inside!
Go check it out! Use the Zoom-In feature and read all the shiny spots! There
is also a magic shop now open.
Northeastern Saronia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a lot here! Try going to all the different shops and upgrading your
party members. The shops have new equipment and magic that don't have yet!
Southwestern Saronia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An Armor Shop is now opened.
Southeastern Saronia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing new.
After you are all finished, and are confident in your levels and equipment, go
to your next destination! Dalg Continent.

Treasure: None. :(
=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=
Now that you have the Nautilus, you can pass through the harsh winds of Dalg
Continent. This continent, if you don't know, is located to the south, west of
Amur Village.
When you get there, circle around the continent looking for the opening. Go in
and make your way through the mountains to Doga's Manor.
Inside the manor, follow the path and a scene will occur. Doga himself will
join your party and ask you to escort him to the Cave of the Circle. Continue
through his manor and you'll find a room with moogles! There is an Item Shop
and Magic Shop for your needs! There is also a Fat Chocobo! :P Stock up and
proceed!
Beyond this shop room, you will find a room with junk everywhere. Some of the
junk will heal your party, so I guess I'll call it, useful? ;) Talk to the
candle in the northeast part of the room. It will open a pathway to a room.
In this room, use the Mini Spell or Mallet, to enter the hole.
Welcome to the Cave of the Circle.
Head right following the path. Just keep going until you reach the end. In
the last room, Doga will cough and then cast a spell on the Nautilus! It can
now go underwater!!! Sweet! He will tell you to go to the Temple of Time.
Temple of Time? That sounds familiar. Hmm... Anyways, it is located in the
water by Cape Twin Horn, so let's get a submarining! :P

Another HUGE treasure list! Yay!! :D
Are you ready to go on a long and adventuresome treasure hunt!? ME TOO! ^_^
{26.1} Doga's Village
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There isn't any treasure here,(so sad) but you can buy all Lv. 3-7 Black and
White magic and also the Lv. 1-5 Summons! Delicious.
To get to this seemingly elusive "village", head to the eastmost part of
Dalg continent. With your waterproof Nautilus, dive underwater. If you are at
the eastmost part of the continent, you will see a secret passageway. Follow
it to the end and the emerge from the depths. There it is! I see it!!! :)
{26.2} Saronia Catacombs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To find this place, dive just south of Southeastern Saronia. There will be a
cave here. Enter it.
Follow the path until you have an option to go left or right. Go right and
grab the treasures: >AEGIS SHIELD<, >RUNE BELL<, and >GOLEM STAFF<. Head
back down and take the left path. You will go up some stairs here, and at
the top, grab the >REFLECT MAIL<. Keep following the path and when you
get to the stairs that lead to the next area, keep going right. Grab the
>HEAVY LANCE< in the treasure chest. Continue to the next area.
In this area, there is a huge blue rug. Head to the right. There is a
secret pathway leading to 8 treasure chests! They are all traps, but you
get 4 Elixirs and 4 Phoenix Downs! This may not seem like much, but these
items are very rare!
When ready, go to the blue rug and head north. Up here you will find the
legendary warrior, Odin!
<PERFECT GAME NOTE 10:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a perfect item list, you MUST steal the Gungnir from Odin. Your Job level
has to be 71+ or you will only steal Elixirs. It is also possible to win a
Gungnir after battle, but it's very rare! If you are going for MAX items, you
will need to get *BOTH* Gungnirs! Good luck! ;)
What? The drop rate of the Gungnir? See the "Enemy Loot" section. Ctrl+F. {GU}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gil: 16800 | about 50% of his health, he will start using a move |
Atk: 81 | called Zantetsuken! This attack alone does about |
Def: 35 | 1100 damage and hits all party members! |
----------------------| I'd suggest putting your party in the back line, and |

Steal: Elixir, Gungnir. |

When you defeat Odin, he will give you his power and you will get the ultra
cool Catastro Summon!
<NOTE:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you haven't gotten it yet, you will notice a treasure chest to the right of
Odin's room. (there are actually two) You can only get these by going through
a secret passage in Saronia Castle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that we are done here, let's go to the next area!
{26.3} Sunken Cave
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the Nautilus, fly to the tiny island in the southeast part of the
World Map.(looks like a triangle) Dive in the water and you will find that
there is a cave in the base of this island!
In the cave, make your way through the first area. In the second area, there
is a treasure chest to the left and up. It holds a >CHAKRAM<. The path to
the right and up has a chest with >TIGER CLAWS< inside. Next, head south.
At the fork, go left to find a >DUAL TOMAHAWK<. Go back and head to the
right. You'll find some stairs to the next level.
In the next area, go across the first bridge. Here you'll have a choice to
go left, or down. Go down to find the following: >COGNITOME<,
>DIAMOND HELM<, >DIAMOND SHIELD<, >METAL KNUCKLES<, and >ANCIENT SWORD<.
Go back and take the left bridge. Here you will find: >DIAMOND MAIL<,
>LOKI HARP<, >DIAMOND BRACERS<, and an >AIR KNIFE<. Go down the bridge
from hear and grab the >PHOENIX DOWN<, >ELIXIR<, and >DIAMOND GLOVES<.
From here, there is a secret passage leading to the left. You can find
4 treasure chests in here.
<WARNING:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each chest is guarded by a really strong monster. If you are feeling lucky,
open them. But it's ok if you want to go back to the World Map and save first!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These 4 chests contain: >TRIDENT<, >REFLECT MAIL<, >TRITON HAMMER<, and
>AEGIS SHIELD<.
Well that's it, there are no more treasures to get at this point! But you don't
mind right? You just found the thousands of Gil worth of treasure!!!
You're happy! :)
On to the next destination!

The only clue Doga gave you, as to where you need to go, is "Cape Twin Horn".
If you want to find it on your own, you can do just that. If you want to know
now, the answer is 2 paragraphs down.
The Temple of Time is a dangerous place! It is filled with really strong
monsters that can wipe out your party without you even noticing! *looks over at
Chimera Mage* Arg! So if you need to stock up on items and level up a
little bit, go ahead! ;)
Are you ready to go? The Temple of Time is located at the southern tip of
Saronia Continent. When you get there, you will see why it's called "Cape Twin
Horn". Dive underwater and you will see the temple. Enter.
<BATTLE TIP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I barely just mentioned, the monsters in here are tough. After *EVERY*
battle, fully heal your party. You just never know if Chimera Mages will
"Back Attack" you! Haha! ^_^ But I won't give all the credit to them,
because there are other nasty beasts around!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once inside, follow the corridor. Take your first left. Along this wall you
will find 2 doors. They are locked so you will need a Thief or Magic Key to
open them up. Inside these rooms are: >DIAMOND HELM< and >DIAMOND BRACERS<.
Continue along to the left, enter the watery area and head north. At the north
end of the waterway, there are some stairs to the right. So go right and there
will be another staircase, but heading down to the next level.
Down here, head all the way right to find the >DEFENDER<. Oh yeah! This sword
is great at point of the game!! Now, head down the stairs that you passed to
get this sword. In this area, head all the way to the right to find another
locked door. A >DIAMOND MAIL< rests inside. Now go back and into another
waterway.
At the north side of the waterway, head left first. Another locked door! Grab
the >DIAMOND GLOVES< and the >BEHEMOTH KNIFE<. Yay for my Thief!! ^_^ Back at
the waterway, head right. Go in the locked door here. Follow this next room
until you find the stairs to another area.
When you first get to this area, you will see a waterfall on the left and
right, and some stairs in front of you. You can walk behind the waterfall on
the right to find a secret passage! Down here is some VERY rare treasure!
>BLOOD LANCE<, >PROTECT RING<, and >LAMIA HARP<. After you get these, head
back to the waterfalls. Go down the stairs. Down, down, and down. When you
get to the fork, go left to find a door. Don't worry, it's locked! ;) In
this room is a >DIAMOND SHIELD<. Go back out and head right to open the
*FINAL* locked door in the Temple of Time. Inside this room you will find
the instrument, Noah's Lute. With this, we can go wake up Unei! Head all the
way back to your airship!
When you get back to the World Map, resurface. Unei's Cave is *DIRECTLY* north
of the Temple of Time. So, follow the coastline up the west side of the
continent. Take your first right into the mountains and you will see the cave.
Go inside and wake up Unei! Watch the scene and you will learn what you are
supposed to be doing. She will give you the Fang of Fire as well as join the
party! Talli-ho...away!

=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=-*=
The Ancient Ruins are to Unei's Cave, as Unei's Cave is to the Temple of Time!
Haha, in other words, *DIRECTLY* north. Just head west from Saronia Kingdom,
and make your way along the rivers and through the mountains. You will
eventually find it!
Once inside the ruins, follow the hallway down and the right. Over in this
area there are 3 researchers. Their path appears to be blocked by some rocks,
but that's NO problem for Unei! Haha! Approach the boulder and watch the
scene. Now that your path is clear, continue into the ruins.
Follow this path down and the left. There are 2 doors along the wall. Enter
into the first one to get a >REFLECT MAIL< and then enter into the other door.
In this area, head north passing the stairs on the right. Up here there are 3
rooms you can go into. You can buy items, weapons, armor, and take a rest.
When ready, head back down and take the stairs on the right. Head down this
path and you'll eventually turn right. Here there are many paths you can go.
First go all the way down. The right path is a dead end, so go left. In the
room over here you can find a >BLACK BELT GI<. Head back out and start going
up. Take your first right to find another room. There is a >CHAKRA BAND< in
here. Continue going up in the main hallway. Ignore the first left, because
that is the way you came in. Keep going up. Take the first left AND right.
Not at the same time, duh! :P In these two room you can get >FAERIE CLAWS<
and a >RUNE BELL<. Again, continue heading north in the main hallway. The
path will go right and then down to the next area.
Just keep following the paths until you reach the end. At the end, you will
find the legendary INVINCIBLE! Yay!
<LISTEN:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pay very close attention to Unei!!! She will explain everything you need to
know about your brand new airship!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you gain control, and are ready to leave, go to the helm of the ship and
fly off the World Map!! :)
The following section, Section 29, has an explanation on how to use the
Invincible, but if you want to skip it anyways, go to Section 30. Crtl+F. {CS}

Hmm, what is an easy way to explain the ability of the Invincible? OK. The
Invincible can fly over "smaller" mountains. To explain further, follow these
steps.
Fly over to Saronia Castle. Position yourself right in front of the castle and
go directly southwest. When you hit the mountains, go west into the mountains.
When you are out of the forest and over the grass, STOP! Do you see the really
thin mountains south of you? THESE are the mountains you can fly over! Just
go up to them a push A! Yay!
Since we are here, fly over the mountains. Follow the small path and fly over
a single thin mountain. In this area is Falgabard Village! How nice! :P
If you have a Dark Knight in your party, you'll be in heaven! There are lots
of goods here.
First, you might want to check the shops for new equipment. And afterwards,
go to the huge waterfall in the northeast part of town. You can walk behind
this waterfall to find a hidden cave! Neat! Go to the north of the cave to
find an Old man. Talk to him and LOOK OUT!!! Shinobi!

After the fight he will give you a long-named dark blade: Kiku-Ichimonji. As
you leave the cave, take the waterway out instead. Follow the little stream
until it wraps around a huge rock. Take the stairs by the rock and pick up
4 hidden items! >DEMON MAIL<, >HI-POTION<, >BLESSED HAMMER<, and a
>DEMON SHIELD<.
Next, head to the northwest part of town to find a cave.
<DIVIDING ENEMIES:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you aren't using a Dark Knight, equipped with a dark blade, then the enemies
in this cave will Divide if you don't kill them in one hit. This is referring
to physical attacks. You can cast magic without them dividing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this cave, grab the chest just off to the left. You'll get another
>BLESSED HAMMER<. Go further into the cave by heading right. Walk through a
secret passage and follow the path around the pool of water. Further up you
will find a treasure chest with a >DEMON MAIL< inside. Here, go to the right
to find another secret pathway. At the end, you will find an >ASHURA< and a
>KOTETSU<.
You are done here, so you can now go back to your airship! :)

To locate the Cave of Shadows, head east from Duster Island.(it's the island in
the middle of the World Map) When you reach the desert on the Eastern
Continent, go north. You should see an opening that leads into the mountains!
Go in here and you will see a ton of thin mountains that you can fly over with
Invincible. Make your way through the mountain maze and the cave is at the end.
<DIVIDING ENEMIES:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just like in Falgabard, if you aren't using a Dark Knight, equipped with a dark
blade, then the enemies in this cave will Divide if you don't kill them in one
hit. This is referring to physical attacks. You can cast magic on 'em without
them dividing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside the Cave of Shadows, head right into a secret area. You can find your
first >BLACK MUSK< in here. Yay! Go back and then down into the cave.
Along the way, grab the >DARK CLAWS<. To the right of here you can find an
injured Dark Knight. Talk to him and he will give you a >KOTETSU<. Thanks! :)
Go down into the next part of the cave.
Follow this path to the right. It will start to go up. Stop here! There is a
secret passage to the left. You can find a >TRANQUILIZER< in the chest. Ok,
continue back up the path. Further up you will find another secret
passage, but since it's the main path, it's hardly secret! :P Through here
you will immediately find a chest with a >LILITH'S KISS< inside. Go down from
this spot into the blackness. Find the next room, the go left into some more
blackness. Go down from here into the next area!
Follow this path down and around to the stairs to the next area. There is a
secret passage here, but it's pointless.
In the next area, there are a ton of secret passages! Don't worry, I will
take you only where you need to go, getting you all items possible.
First, go right. In this next room, you'll have 3 options to go into.
Option 1 (left), leads to the >GENJI GLOVES< and stairs to next area.
Option 2 (middle), nothing.
Option 3 (right), nothing.
The next area is pretty simple. Even though there are secret passages, it's
just a straight shot to the end. In the area after this, go right. Follow
the long path right, down, then left. Grab the treasure chest here with holds
a >KIKU-ICHIMONJI<. Now go down the stairs.
Here, grab the >GENJI SHIELD< on the left. Take the path to the right. You
will do the same thing you just did in the last room. Right, down, then left.
Finally!!! No it's not the end, but something exciting and new to look at!
It's a huge spine! And you use it as a bridge! How awesome is that!? :D At
the right side of this skeleton, you can find the >GENJI HELM<. Go up to the
FINAL area of the cave!!! Yay! ^_^
In this final area, immediately go right to find a secret passage. You will
find the final piece of the Genji set. >GENJI ARMOR<. Go back and head up
another cool spine. The Fang of Earth is on the pedestal!
