Walkthrough

 

NOTICE: through out the game I will give you advice, what the recommended level of a character at a certain point of the game should be. That is because you should know if you are on a good level. If you are on/over the level I recommend, you won’t have any problems later into the game. You will be able to defeat the bosses on lower levels, but it will get harder further in the game.

 

WORLD 1

 

THE BEGINNING

 

In the beginning of this game you will scene with Lenna and her Father, the King of Tycoon. He has a bad feeling and will fly of to the Wind Shrine to check on the Wind Crystal. The scene will change and you see a gang of pirates. The pirate boss will notice that the wind has stopped and so does a man in a cave and Lenna. You will then see the Wind Crystal shatter. The scene will change to a young man and his Chocobo. He is the main character and his name is Butz. They will hear a big explosion. Butz will jump onto his Chocobo (by the way, the Chocobo is named Boco). Go east and enter the meteor.

 

METEOR AT TYCOON

 

Butz will tell Boco, that he should wait at the entrance. No go up and follow the path until you reach a girl that is surrounded by 2 “Goblins”. You will have to fight them (they have 10 HP each). After the battle, Butz will check on the girl. She will tell you that her name is Lenna. After a short conversation, Butz and Lenna will hear someone call for help. Go left and check the side to find a hidden passage. You will find a chest that contains a “Phoenix Down”. Now check the upper-right part of this screen to find an old man. He will seem to have amnesia. He will tell you that his name is Galuf. Then Galuf and Lenna will leave, heading for the Wind Shrine. Go back and talk to Boco. Leave the “meteor-area” and head northeast. You will end up in the middle of an earthquake. Move up until you find Lenna and Galuf (you will have to fight a few “Goblins” on the way. Then another scene will take place. Butz will join Lenna and Galuf. Go north and you will eventually reach a cave. Butz will tell Boco to wait outside.

 

FINDING A WAY TO THE WIND SHRINE

 

Go up until Butz notices a spring. Go left and check the spring. This is actually a Recovery Spring (it will restore you totally). It’s a pretty good place to leveling up. So I would recommend fighting a little, recover at the spring and then continue fighting. Level 4 is actually very good. Anyhow, when you feel ready then go up the stairs. In the next screen, keep going until you reach point where you can see a pirate pushing a button. Go left and pick up the “Leather Helmet”. Equip it on someone and then go up and press the button. Enter the next screen and go up. Butz will see a ship that sails without wind. If you had that ship, you would easily reach the Wind Shrine. Go out and bring up the main menu. Move the cursor to the “SAVE”-command and save. Then go back in and keep going through the rest of this cave.

 

THE PIRATE’S BASE

You will eventually reach the Pirate’s base. Try to go up and a short conversation will take place. Go up and out on the bridge to enter the ship. Go to the upper part of the ship and check the steering. Suddenly the pirates will appear. Lenna will present her self and say that she is the Princess of Tycoon. The pirate boss, Faris, will notice Lenna’s Pendant. Faris tells the other pirates to keep the party locked. You will then see short scene with the party and Faris in it. You will get to know that Faris has the same pendant as Lenna. Faris will have a change of heart and will help you. Faris will tell Lenna why the ship can sail without the wind (it is drawn by Syldra, a childhood friend of Faris). Sail a little to the north and you will be asked if you want to be brought to the Wind shrine automatically. Chose “NO” and sail west to the city of Tule.

 

TULE

 

As you enter the city, the pirates will go to the Pub. Enter the Pub and sit on the chair that is located left of the scene. You will get a “Special Service” from the dancers. Now enter the scene and check the piano. Butz will play a little on it (man, this guy really sucks at the piano). If you play on all pianos that are located all over the world, you will get a special gift. Now go up the stairs and check on Faris. After a weird scene, leave the Pub and go to the Weapon shop that is located northwest of the PUB. I recommend buying 3 “Broad swords”. Then go to the Armor shop and buy the things you need (Faris only needs the “Leather Helmet). Go to the Magic shop in the northeast of the Pub and buy the spells you can afford. Finally, you should by a few “Potions” in the Item shop (it is located in the same house as the Inn, east of the Pub). When you are ready, leave the city and Save. Equip Faris and take the ship to the Wind Shrine that is located far to the northeast.

 

WIND SHRINE

 

Go up and then enter the left room. In the lower part of this room, you can find a pot with water from the “Recovery Spring” in it. Leave this room and go up the stairs in the far right part of the screen. On the 2^nd floor, pick up the “Tent” and enter the next screen. You will see the first Save point of the game. Go down and go right to get the “Leather Helmet”. Go back and go left this time. In the next screen, there is actually a hidden short cut (it is located next to the door you see). If you can’t find it, don’t worry, since the “long way” isn’t that long. Keep going until you see a bird like thing. Go to the right door to get a “Broad Sword”. Then, go up to the bird.

 

BOSS BATTLE 1

Name: Wing Raptor

HP: about 250

Weakness: None

Earnings: Phoenix Down

Recommended Party Level: 4-5

 

This is the first Boss battle of the game. He is actually pretty easy. Just attack him physically until he goes down. Half way through the battle, the Wing Raptor will protect it self with it’s wings. You can’t hurt him then, so I recommend healing your self with “Potions” until he fells out his wings again. He will basically only use one attack, called “Breath Wing”, doing up to 20 damage points on the entire party.

 

Go up the stairs to the 4^th floor. Go up the stairs on the other side to reach the Crystal room (there is a hidden passage in the lower right part of the room that leads to a “Staff”). You will then see a long cinema scene. You will then get the power of Crystals and obtain your first 6 Job Classes. Give each character a Job (do it under the “JOB”-command in the main menu). I would recommend giving each character a different Job class. Now leave the Wind Shrine.

 

TULE: REVISITED

 

Take the ship back to Tule. Go to the north part of the city to reach Zokk’s house. Enter it and talk to Zokk. He will tell you that he has lost the to the Torna Canal. Then he will ask you to stay at his place over the night. You will then see a short scene about Butz past. Zokk will then give Butz the Torna Canal Key. Buy “Potions” if you have to and then leave the town. Faris will tell the other pirates to stay in Tule. Enter the ship and you will see another cinema scene. You should fight a little to earn ABP (Ability Points). Save and sail to the east to reach Torna Canal.

 

TORNA CANAL

 

Sail up to the gate and press the confirm button and then sail through the gate. Keep sailing until you run into Karlabos.

 

BOSS BATTLE 2

Name: Karlabos

HP: 650

Weakness: Thunder

Earnings: Tent

Recommended Party Level: 5-6

 

Having a Knight or a Monk would be pretty good since they have a pretty high attack power. You should also have a White Mage in your party and use “CURE”.

Karlabos’ attacks will do about 30 to 40 damage points. His “Tailscrew” attack will take down one of your characters to a critical situation and “Tentacle” attack will paralyze one character for a while. Just use “CURE” when needed and when you run out of MP, use “Potions”.

 

Syldra will be dragged into the whirlpool and the party will be driven away.

 

THE SHIP GRAVEYARD

 

The party will wake up at the Ship graveyard. If go down stairs, you will be able to rest. Anyhow, move right and go down. Step on the stone that you see and press the confirm button. More stones will appear. Follow them to get a “Flail”. Now go back and keep going right and enter the door that you see. Just go through the first room. In the next room, go down (pick up the “Tent” in the left room). `Faris will ask if they really have to go through the water since they will get wet. But they will continue anyways. Go left and go out into the water. Go down the stairs in the lower right part and enter the next screen. Just keep going and you will eventually reach a room there you can rest. You will get to know that Faris actually is a girl. Then go through the upper right door. Save at the save point and go up the stairs. Keep going and you will eventually reach the deck. Go a little to the left and then go down (you can go over the water on certain places). When can’t go down any more, go right and jump over to the ship. Enter through the door and pick up the “World Map”. Go down the stairs to your right to pick up 2 “Antidotes” and 1 “Phoenix Down”. Go back to the deck and jump over the stones to your right. Check the chest to bring up the rest of the ship. Go up and jump on the stones over to the other side. After a short cinema scene, it’s time to fight another boss.

 

BOSS BATTLE 3

Name: Siren

HP: 900

Weakness: None (Fire, while she is in Undead form)

Earnings: 5 ABP, Bronze Armor

Recommended Party Level: 7-8

 

Siren will mostly use status-changing spells. Just keep pounding her and use “CURE” or “Potion” when needed. Sometimes during the battle, she will transform into undead form. She will then be weak against Fire-elemental attacks.

 

Go north and leave the Graveyard.

 

CARWEN

 

Go east and then south until you find the city of Carwen. Buy needed Items, equipment and magic spells. Go to the Pub and play the Piano. In the lower left part of the Pub is a hidden passage. Go through it and then go up. Check the pots to get 1000 GIL. Well let’s see now… you will need to find a way to reach Worus. If you talk to the man in purple, who is going up and down between the Weapon Shop and the Inn, you will get to know something about a Hiryuu. We will have to find one somewhere. Leave the city and Save.

 

FINDING THE HIRYUU

 

Go northeast until you reach a mountain. Enter the north mountain and pick up the “Phoenix Down”. Then go up and go left. Pick up the “Soft” and leave through the upper left exit. Just keep going until you come to a flower field. Don’t step on them, since they will poison you. Go over the bridge and enter the next screen. Save at the save point and enter the next screen. Go left until Lenna finds her father’s helmet. Magisa will then poison her. After a short cinema scene it’s time for another Boss battle.

 

BOSS BATTLE 4

Name: Magisa, Forza

HP: 650 (Magisa), 850 (Forza)

Weakness: None

Earnings: 6 ABP, Power Drink and Whip

Recommended Party Level: 8-9

 

First of all use “Antidote” on Lenna. Then pound Magisa with all you got. She shouldn’t be too hard. After a while, she will summon Forza. He is little bit harder. Just heal often and you will eventually be victorious.

 

Go left and then go through the passage. Go north and you will eventually reach the Hiryuu. After a cinema scene and Lenna’s unselfish action. You will get a ride on the Hiryuu (notice that Butz is afraid of height. It’s connected to his past, which you will get to know later into the game). Fly all the way south (past Carwen) to reach Worus.

 

WORUS

 

Save. Enter the city of Worus and buy the things you need. Then enter the Worus Castle. Just keep going up until you reach the throne room. The king will recognize Lenna and a short conversation will take place. Suddenly, another Meteor will fall. The king and his troops will the head to the tower that is located not far from the Meteor. Go down 1 screen and go down the stairs to your right. If you then go through the upper-right door, you will reach the Castle basement (this is optional). You will sometimes run into Garkimasra. This creature has a very high attack power; it could actually wipe you out in 1 hit. His evade rate is immense. It’s almost impossible to hit him. I would recommend running as soon as you run into a Garkimasra. After the battle, revive the dead characters (you don’t need to heal) and keep on going. Check the chest and pick up the “Elf Cape” relic. Check the pots in the other room and pick up the “DRAG” spell and 2x 1000 GIL. Go back up to 1 floor and take the left-most stairs. Talk to the Lone Wolf and release him. Then leave the castle and jump onto the Hiryuu. Don’t forget to save.

 

WORUS TOWER

 

Fly northwest to the Worus tower and enter it. Just keep moving up until you find the king (on the 4^th floor). If you talk to him, he will tell you something about some Galura guy. Enter the next screen and save. Pick up the “Maiden’s Kiss” and go up to the 8^th floor. In this room, you will see wines sitting on the wall. Ignore the one in the middle and climb up on the left one. Pick up the “Silver Ring” and go back down. Climb up on the right wines and pick up the “Ether”. Heal up and enter the “Crystal room”.

 

BOSS BATTLE 5

Name: Galura

HP: 1200

Weakness: None

Earnings: 5 ABP, Hi Potion

Recommended Party Level: 9-10

 

This guy is pretty hard to defeat. He has a pretty high HP rate and doesn’t have any weaknesses. His “Rush” attack will decrease your HP until it reaches 0. You will probably need to use “CURE” / “Potion” quite often. If you try hard enough, you will win this battle (if this battle seems impossible, go back out and gain a few levels first).

 

The Water Crystal will shatter after the battle. Go and pick up the crystal pieces to gain new job classes (Notice: you will only be able to pick up five of them. You will get the last piece later into the game). The tower will begin to shake. Go out through the door in the north. The tower will sink. The party will be saved by… SYLDRA! Syldra will then die! Go east and enter the meteor. You will find a warp point inside the meteor. Step on it and your party will be warped to another meteor in an other part of the world. Leave the Meteor and go west. Keep going and sooner or later, you will find the city of Karnak. SAVE.

 

KARNAK

Enter the city of Karnak and rest at the Inn if you need to. Go to the Pub and play the Piano. Now go to the Weapon/Armor shop and try to buy something. A boy will tell a few soldiers that you came through the Meteor. The soldiers will take you and put your party in jail. Go around for while. The man in the cell next to yours, will blow up the wall. Go and talk to him. He will tell you that his name is Cid. The minister will come and tell you that the crystal is shattering. You will then be released. Leave the castle. Once you arrive at the castle gate, you will see the soldiers chase away a Werewolf. Enter the city of Karnak again and buy needed equipments and spells. When you are ready, go to the steamship.

 

THE STEAMSHIP

 

Cid will come and will tell you to stop the engine of the steamship. Enter the door and go through the first 2 rooms. You will then reach the actual engine area. Go through the white door and pick up the “Mithril Glove”. Go back out and go up the stairs to you left. Go up the lower left stairs and then keep going to get an “Elixir”. Go back and go through the upper right door. Flip the handle and take the elevator up to the next floor. Go right to pick up the “World Map” if you missed the first one (don’t you have one already???). Go right and then go north to enter another elevator. Go up the stairs to your left. Just keep on going until you reach another elevator. Now you have 4 different ways. The 1^st way (the lower left one) leads back so don’t take that way. The 2^nd one takes you towards the engine. The 3^rd one will lead you to the “Thief Glove” and the last one will lead you to a “Green Beret”. Anyhow, take the 2^nd way. Go right and go up the stairs. Flip the handle and go up. Pick up the “Full Moon” and then go back. Enter the white door. Don’t go over the moving “staircase” since it leads back. Instead, enter the left door. Save at the save point and enter the next screen. This screen is quite difficult to explain but I think that you will make it without my help too (if you are stuck try to stand on the moving platform while flipping the handle). Remember to pick up the “Elixir” before you enter the next room. Heal and then go up. You will see the Queen of Karnak being possessed by something.

 

BOSS BATTLE 6

Name: Liquid Flame

HP: 3000

Weakness: Ice

Earnings: 6 ABP, Fire Bow

Recommended Party Level: 11-12

 

He will mostly use Fire elemental attacks. Heal often. Use “ICE 2” if you have a Black/Red Mage in your party. This could be pretty hard. When he transforms to a “Fire Whirl”, he will begin to heal him self. Have 2 or 3 Black Mages would be pretty smart. Good Luck!

 

GET OUT OF THE CASTLE!!!

 

After a quick talk go up to the “Crystal room”. A Werewolf will appear and recognize Galuf. Suddenly a possessed soldier will appear and activate the steamship again. The werewolf will offer his live to save the party. The floor beneath the party will collapse and the party will find them self in a room beneath the “Crystal room”. They will go up and check on the Crystal. Unfortunately, it has already shattered. Now you got to hurry out of the castle since it will explode in 10 minutes. Save and get out of the castle (pick up 2000 GIL x3, Elixir x6, Ribbon, Shuriken, Elf Cape, Guardian, Thunder Scroll and the “Heal Spell” out of the chests). Just as you are about to leave, you will have to fight a “Sergeant” and 3 “Karnaks”. The “Sergeant will then transform into a “Iron Claw”. Just keep pounding him until he dies. Finally, leave the castle. The castle will explode and the party will find the crystal pieces of the Fire Crystal. Now go southwest, past a desert, to the Ancient Library. Save before you enter.

 

ANCIENT LIBRARY

 

Enter it and go up to the 2^nd floor. Check the left pot to get healed. Now go back to the first floor and go down the stairs on the left side. Go through the door to reach the 1^st Basement. Go up and the bookshelf will move. Go up and then left. Go to empty space in the bookshelf and the bookshelf will move back. Go right and then south through the empty space in the bookshelf. Go down through another empty space a little further to the left. The go up the stairs and then go right. Go up and the bookshelf will move back again. Go right and go past the stairs all the way right. The bookshelf will move again. Go down the stairs and go up. Check the bookshelf (where the black spot is) and go down the stairs. On the next floor, just try to go down and go through the door (there is an “Ether” in this room). Go down the stairs and go left. Just ignore the door you see (for now). Go up the stairs to the left of the door and check the books. A new passage will open. Go through it and keep going until you reach a room with a book in it. Heal up and be sure to have at least 1 Black Mage in your party. Go up and check the book.

 

BOSS BATTLE 7

Name: Ifrit

HP: 3000

Weakness: Ice and Water

Earnings: 5 ABP, Flame Scroll

Recommended Party Level: 12-13

 

Ifrit is quite easy to defeat. If you have 2 or 3 Black mages in your party, then this should be very easy. Use “ICE 2” to damage him badly. He will mostly use “FIRE 2” and “FLAME”.

 

After the battle, he will give you his power. Leave the room and go back to the door that you ignored earlier and enter it. Ifrit will let you pass the bookshelf. Go up and go left. Go down through the empty space in the bookshelf and go down the stairs. Pick up the “Stealth Robe” and go back to the previous screen. Go through the empty space in the bookshelf (that located further up). Go southeast and just keep going until you come to another room with moving bookshelves. Move up and go past the shelf. Go right, up the small set of stairs and check the books. The Bookshelf will move back again. Go down and the go right to another small set of stairs. Go up the stairs, check the books and fight the book that attacks you. Go through the new passage and save at the save point. Then go down the stairs to your left. Keep going until you find Mid. Some books will then attack you.

 

BOSS BATTLE 8

Name: Byblos

HP: 3600

Weakness: Sacred and Fire

Earnings: 7 ABP, Protect Drink

Recommended Party Level: 12-13

 

This guy is a little harder than Ifrit, but not too hard. Just watch out for his “Wind Slash”. It could sometimes do more 200 damage points. Use “FIRE 2” on him if you have a Black/Red Mages in your party. Heal when needed and you should be ok.

 

Go up to Mid and talk to him. He will take you back to the 2^nd floor. You will get to know that Mid is Cid’s grandson. He will then head of to Cid.

 

GETTING SHIVA

 

Before you continue with the story, lets go and get the Shiva Esper. Go all the way back to the city of Worus. Rest at the Inn and then save. Enter the Worus Castle and go to the 2^nd floor. Go down the stairs to your right and then go out through the lower right door. Keep going until you come to a waterfall. You can actually enter it. Now just keep going until you find red/green glowing thing in the middle of the room. Check it to fight Shiva.

 

BOSS BATTLE 9

Name: Shiva, Commander x3

HP: (Shiva) 1500, (Commander) 600 each

Weakness: Fire

Earnings: 5 ABP, Ice Rod

Recommended Party Level: 14-15

 

This battle should be very easy. Especially if you have a Summoner in your party who summons Ifrit.

 

When you have got the Shiva Esper, leave this place by going south. Now go back all the way to the City of Karnak.

 

GETTING THE STEAMSHIP

 

Go to the upper floor of the Pub and talk to Cid. Mid will appear and cheer up Cid (on his own odd way). They will then go and modify the Steamship. Leave the city and go to the steamship. Mid will tell you to go and rest until they are done. Galuf will then remember his Granddaughter, Cara. He will then tell you that he isn’t from this world. You will then get to know your enemy’s name, EXDEATH. Galuf tells you that Exdeath will be released if all the crystals shatter. Go and check on Mid and Cid. Good, now lets search for the earth crystal. Sail to the southeast part of the world to find the Crescent Island.

 

THE BLACK CHOCOBO

 

Enter the city of Crescent. Suddenly a earthquake will strike the island. Try to leave the town. The party will see the steamship sink. Great, you just got it and now it’s gone. Well, there is nothing to do about it. Play the piano in the house in the southeast part of the city. Talk to the man in the house and he will teach you the “Life Song”. Buy needed equipment and spells. When you are ready, leave the town. Gain a few levels outside (level 17-18 is pretty good). The enemies might sometimes drop the powerful “Doom Sickle”. Collect a few of them since they can be sold for a good amount of money. Go to the forest that is located to the southwest of the town. If you go to the center of the forest, you will reach the Black Chocobo forest. Try to catch the black Chocobo that is running around. Butz will test if the black Chocobo can fly (but it can’t). Faris will find 2 crystal pieces that were stuck between the Chocobo’s feathers.

This time, the Chocobo will be able to fly. Fly to the north part of the world map to find the city of Lix (its surrounded by mountains).

 

BUTZ’S FLASHBACKS

 

Lix is Butz’s hometown. Go north and talk to the man who is going around to the left of the weapon shop. It’s one of Butz’s old friends. You will then see a flash back shows why Butz is afraid of heights. Buy needed things (notice that you will get a 50% discount at the Item shop. Buy the “HEAL” spell if you haven’t got it. Go to the house north of the Inn. Enter it and check the pink little box. You will see another Flashback. This time, about Butz’s parents (and his mother’s death). Talk to the Bard in the house to get the “Charm Song”. Leave the house and go west. You will find Butz’s mother’s Tombstone. Go to the Inn and rest for free. Faris will wake up in the middle of the night and find Butz’s at his mother’s tombstone. You will get to know that it also is Butz’s father’s tombstone. Now leave the city.

 

TYCOON CASTLE

 

Fly to Tycoon castle (that is located northeast of the first Meteor) and talk to the soldier in front of the gate. He will tell you to pass. Go up and talk to the Chancellor. The party will rest in the castle. You will see one of Faris’ and Lenna’s flashbacks (notice that Faris’ real name is Sarisa). Leave the room and go south. Pick up the “Hi-Potion” in the pot and then leave the room. Go through the door on the other side of the room and go up the stairs. Go up and enter the screen. Pick up the “Phoenix Down”, “Elixir”, “Ether” and the “Cabin” (they are on top of the barrels and inside the pots). Go back to the first floor. Go up and enter the Throne room. Go through the upper right door and keep going until you reach the 4^th floor. Check the pots to find “Ether”, “Elixir” “Phoenix Down” and “Maiden’s Kiss”. Go out on the courtyard and go left. Go down the stairs and keep going until you reach the storage room. Go up and pull the Lever. Go through the hidden passage. Pick up the “Shuriken” and the “Katana”. Talk to the Chancellor and then pick up the “Giyaman’s Bell”. Then leave the castle.

 

ISTORY AND RAMUH

 

Fly to the Northwest part of the world to find the city of Istory. Buy everything you need (buy the rings in the armor shop if you can afford them). Go to the place where all the sheeps are. Stand behind the sheep that is standing in the left corner and talk to it. It will kick over the fence. Talk to the man/woman and answer “YES”. You will then get the “Love Song”. Now leave the city by going northeast. If you want, you can build up some levels in the forest in the east (this is actually the best place to gain level in world one). But watch out! The enemies are strong and you can sometimes run into Ramuh. So I would recommend coming back later. If you want to gain levels now, then save after every battle.

 

BOSS BATTLE 10

Name: Ramuh

HP: 4000

Weakness: None

Earnings: 3 ABP, Ramuh

Recommended Party Level: 18

 

Ramuh has pretty powerful spell. He will mostly use lightning based attacks. Use either “ICE 2” or “FIRE 2” and heal often.

 

You will be awarded with the Ramuh item after the battle. Go to the item menu under the main menu and select the Ramuh item. You will then be able to summon Ramuh. Save!!!

 

THE AIRSHIP

 

Now lets get back to the story. Take the Black Chocobo to the Ancient Library. Enter it and you will meet Cid and Mid again. Cid will tell the party that they have found King Tycoon. You will have to go to the Quicksand Desert in the west. Go west and save before you enter the desert. As you try to cross the desert, Cid and Mid will come and tell you that you should defeat the Sandworm that lives in the desert and walk on the body of it. You will then be asked if you are ready for the fight. IF you are ready then chose “YES” and prepare for a pretty annoying battle.

 

BOSS BATTLE 11

Name: Sandworm

HP: 3000

Weakness: Water

Earnings: 5 ABP

Recommended Party Level: 18-19

 

Along the Sandworm, there will be 3 holes. If you attack one of them they will counter with the “DEMI” spell (it will reduce your current HP with 50%), so don’t attack them. If you keep this in your mind, then this battle should be pretty easy. Just watch out for the Sandworm’s “Quicksand” attack (it will reduce your HP gradually.

 

Walk along the worm’s body and then make it to the south part of the screen. Finally, leave the desert and walk south. You will eventually reach the Ruined City. Enter the city and go north. You will then see King Tycoon running around at the south part of the screen. Go southeast to the building and you will see King Tycoon going north. Go northwest again and go up the stairs. You will see King Tycoon going north. Follow him and you will fall through a hole. Lenna will then finally realize that Faris is her bigger sister. The party will notice that they were split from Galuf. Galuf will then find the party and you can move on with the story. Go through the upper left door and go up to the warp point. You will be warped to the Crescent Island. Meanwhile, Cid and Mid will be on the way to the Crescent Island too. Go up the stairs go through the next room. You come to a room with 6 statues in it. Go through the south door and rest. Go to the left room and push the lever. Then go back to the room where you rested earlier. Check the right-most flower. Then go to the right room and check the papers. Go back to the left most room and check the pots. A frog will jump out and hit into the bookshelf. Check the book (that fell down) and pull the lever. Pick up the Shurikens (x2) and the “SIZE” spell. Now go back to the room with the 6 statues and pull the lever. Cid and Mid will fall through the ground. Go through the door and SAVE! Go through the next room and you will eventually find the Steamship again. Keep going right to find another ship, the AIRSHIP!!! Cid and Mid will appear. After a quick talk they will both go under deck. Follow them and talk to Cid. The Airship will lift of but suddenly a monster will appear.

 

BOSS BATTLE 12

Name: Crayclaw

HP: 2000

Weakness: Thunder

Earnings: 5 ABP, Ice bow

Recommended Party Level: 19

 

This battle is very easy; just have 3 or 4 Black Mages in your party and have them use “BOLT 2”.

 

The airship will be a little damaged after the battle. Cid and Mid will use some parts from the Steamship to repair it. Finally, you get the control over the airship.

 

PIRATE’S BASE REVISITED

 

Head back to the Pirate’s base and go past the left flag. Push the button and the go up. Go through the left door and pick up the “Tent”, “Ether” and 300 GIL. Go back to the main room and go through the upper right door to find Boco. Then leave.

 

JACOLE

 

Fly to the southwest part of the world to find Jacole. Buy the needed equipments and play the piano in the Pub. If you talk to the dancer on the stage (where the piano is) she will dance with Butz (or someone else in your party).

 

UPGRADING THE AIRSHIP

 

Fly north from Jacole to Ruined city. A big thing will rise from the ground and fly up pretty high. Fly back to Crescent Island and land the airship on the platform. Talk to Cid and Mid. They will tell you that the Earth Crystal is inside the flying ruin. You will have to get som Adamantium to power up the Airship. Now take the airship to the Meteor in Tycoon (the place where you saw Lenna and Galuf for the first time. Enter the meteor and check out the upper wall. As you try to leave, AdamanTiMi will attack you.

 

BOSS BATTLE 13

Name: AdamanTiMi

HP: 2000

Weakness: Ice

Earnings: 5 ABP, Turtle Shell

Recommended Party Level: 19-20

 

This guy has a pretty high defense but his HP is low. Attack him with “ICE 2” and he will go down in a few rounds.

 

Take the Airship and fly back to Cid and Mid. They will upgrade the airship and tell you that you first have to destroy the Cannons of the Flying City to enter it.

 

(NOTICE: the next boss could be pretty hard to defeat, so you might want to level up a few levels in the forest east of Istory. Fight the “Mini Dragons” to gain 1125 EXP. You should easily be able to reach level 25. Just be sure to save often)

 

When you feel ready, take the airship and press the confirm button (“A”-button) twice. Fly up to the cannons to fight them. There are 2 pairs of “Flame guns” and 2 pairs of “Rockets”. The “Flame guns” have 2400 HP each and are weak against thunder. The “Rockets” have 2500 HP each and are also weak against thunder. Take them out with “BOLT 2” or summon Ramuh. When you have defeated the 4 pairs of cannons, another cannon will appear. Fly backwards and land near a city. Heal and save. Then head back to the flying city and check out the cannon.

 

BOSS BATTLE 14

Name: Sol Cannon, Launcher x2

HP: ????

Weakness: Thunder

Earnings: 100 GIL, 10 EXP, 7 ABP, Dark Matter, Hi Potion x2

Recommended Party Level: 20-21

 

This battle could get very annoying. The “Sol Canon” has more than 10000 HP (the “Launchers” have a little less HP). Attack him with lightning based attacks. For the highest effect, summon Ramuh. When you see a message that says “ENERGY LEVEL 128%”, be prepared to heal since the “Sol Canon” will use an attack called “Surge Beam” (it could do up to 500 damage points). If you can keep your HP above 400-500, you will not have any problems.

 

Fly forward and enter the Flying City.

 

THE FLYING CITY

 

Notice: there are lots of invisible passages here, so I would recommend having a Thief in your party or having the “Passages” ability equipped to see the invisible part of the floor.

 

There isn’t much to say about the first level, so just go through this room and enter the 2^nd level. Pick up the “Gold Armor” and enter the third level.

 

Notice: You will sometimes run into “Whirl Demons”. If you have the “Control” ability (LV 2 Mediator ability), then use it on them and then have them cast “WHITE WIND” on your party. It’s the best healing spell in the game. Just be sure to have a Blue Mage or a character with the “Learning” ability equipped, in your party.

 

Head left and go over the invisible bridge. If you go northwest you will see 4 passages. The 2^nd and 4^th passages from the left are dead ends. Go along the 3^rd passage from left to get an “Elixir” (some parts of the passages are invisible). Then go over the 1^st passage from left and keep going until you see a set of stairs. Save and go back to the previous room. Go right and pick up the “Phoenix Down”. Then keep going right and go down. You will then get to the 4^th level. Go through this room and enter another part of the 3^rd level. Go northeast and pick up the “Gold Shield”. Then, go back to the stairs that leads to the save point. If you go northwest of the stairs, you will find another set of stairs that leads to a different part of the 4^th level. Just keep going until reach the 5^th level. Go right, through the door and go up the stairs to reach the 4^th level again. Pick up the “Hi-Potion” and go right. Go down the stairs (ignore the door for now) and go through the next room. You will reach a room with 5 chests in it (watch out; there is a trap hole in the middle of this room). Pick up the “Shuriken”, “Full Moon”, 5000 Gil, “Power Ring” and the “Ancient Sword”. Then, go back and go through the door you ignored earlier. Keep going until you reach a part of the 5^th level with a door to your left and a set of stairs in the lower-right side of you. Go up the stairs and save at the save point. Then, go back to the previous room and go through the door. In the next room, go through the door and go down the stairs. Pick up the “Cabin” and the “Ether”. Then, go back to the previous room and go through the door that is located to the left of the stairs. Pull the handle and go through the passage that just appeared. You will eventually find King Tycoon. You will then have to fight the Archae Avis.

 

BOSS BATTLE 15

Name: Archae Avis

HP: about 9000 (first part), about 2500 (second part

Weakness: Varies

Earnings: 10 ABP, Hero Drink

Recommended Party Level: 21

 

This guy is pretty hard. He has the ability to change weakness. I would recommend that you attack him physically. Magic isn’t very effective against him and you could accidentally heal him. Watch out for his “Mealstorm” attack, since it will drop your HP to a critical point. Heal as soon as possible and keep attacking him. After that you have done about 9000 damage, the Archae Avis will die, but it appear again and you will have to fight it all over again. But this time, it has only got 2500 HP.

 

After the battle, follow King Tycoon into the Crystal room. The king is possessed and will attack you. Suddenly, another meteor will fall. Galuf’s granddaughter, Cara, will appear and save the party. Galuf will get his memory back. The king will then come to sense again. The Earth Crystal will shatter and the seal will brake… EXDEATH IS RELEASED! Exdeath tells that he is going to destroy Galuf’s world. King Tycoon will then die. The party will pick up the Crystal pieces. The Flying City will crash since the Earth Crystal has shattered. Galuf and Cara will then go back to their own world. Land the airship and a little conversation will take place. The party will decide to help Galuf.

 

REACHING THE OTHER WORLD

 

Fly to the Tycoon Meteor and enter the meteor. The party will find Cid and Mid. The party thinks that it could be possible to reach Galuf’s world if they re-powered the Meteors. Fly to the Worus Meteor and talk to Cid. Suddenly, a bunch of Puroboros’ will attack the party.

 

BOSS BATTLE 16

Name: Puroboros x6

HP: 1500 each

Weakness: None

Earnings: 5 ABP

Recommended Party Level: 22

 

These guys aren’t too hard. If you have a Samurai in your party then use the “GILTOSS”. It can kill all monsters at the same time, which will block the “LIFE 2” spell they cast on each other when they die. Just watch out for the “Exploder” attack, since it could do up to 1500 damage points to a single character.

 

Now, take the airship and fly west to the Karnak Meteor. Talk to Cid and he will the Meteor. He will then come back and tell you that there is a monster inside. Enter the Meteor and fight… TITAN!

BOSS BATTLE 17

Name: Titan

HP: 2500

Weakness: None

Earnings: 5 ABP, Hi-Potion, Titan

Recommended Party Level: 22

 

His HP isn’t to high but he can use some nasty attack (they can do between 400 and 500 damage points). But there isn’t much you can do against that. I recommend using “GILTOSS” to get rid of him fast (I did 4800 damage points on Titan in just one hit, but it depends on which level your character is at). He will use “Earth Shaker” before he dies. Heal when needed.

 

Now fly to the Meteor where the Flying City crashed earlier and talk to Cid. The party will notice that Cid and Mid are taking too long. Enter the meteor and save them from the Chimera Brain.

 

BOSS BATTLE 18

Name: Chimera Brain

HP: 3300

Weakness: None

Earnings: 6 ABP, Phoenix Down

Recommended Party Level: 22

 

This isn’t that hard either. He has more HP than Titan but his attacks are a lot weaker. You have only watch out for the “AQUA RAKE” attack. If you havn’t learned the “AQUA RAKE” spell, then have a Blue Mage in your party to learn it. To kill him, use “GILTOSS” or summon Titan.

 

Cid will show you a map. Try to remember where the spots gather, since you will have to go there later.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE BY THIS

 

-Don’t forget to get the SHIVA and RAMUH Espers before you leave this world since they will be gone forever, if you enter Galuf’s world.

 

-Be sure that you have played all the pianos in the cities.

 

-Level up as much as possible in the forest east of Istory, since you won’t meet monsters that give you such a high amount of experience in world 2 for a long while (if you kill of all characters except 1, you will earn 4500 EXP. That should bring that character to level 30 in no time).

 

When you feel ready, fly to the place where the dots was gathering. Enter the blue thing. After a quick conversation, the party will head of to Galuf’s world.

 

WORLD 2

 

ESCAPING FROM EXDEATH’S CASTLE

 

The party will land on an island. Use a “Tent”/“Cabin” (if you don’t have any, then fight the enemies you encounter, since they drop “Tents”. An “Abductor” will attack the party in the middle of the night. You will have to fight him with just Butz in your party. If you lose against him, he will take you to a cell in Exdeath’s Castle. If you win, you will earn an “Ether”. Then Butz will find a chest and open it. The chest is actually a gas trap. Butz will then wake up in the cell in Exdeath’s Castle. Then, Exdeath will appear and a short scene will take place. After a while you will get the control over Galuf. He will try to rescue the party. After that he takes Butz’s, Lenna’s and Faris’ items out of the chest, go through the upper door and Save. Go back to the previous room and go left. Go down the stairs and go through the 1^st Basement floor. On the 2^nd Basement floor, go to the upper-left part of the screen and go down the stairs. Keep going until you run into Gilgamesh.

 

BOSS BATTLE 19

Name: Gilgamesh

HP: about 2000

Weakness: None

Earnings: None

Recommended Party Level: 21-22

 

His HP is pretty low and his attack power is pretty low to. Give Galuf the Monk or Knight job class to get rid of him fast. He will run off, after that you have done about 2000 damage points to him.

 

Galuf will release the party. Now go back to the room where Galuf found the chest with the party’s items in it. Go through the door in the lower-most part of the room (just go down from the locked door. You will then reach the World Map. Save and go west. Enter the bridge and keep going over it (fighting a few enemies on the way) until you run into Gilgamesh again.

 

BOSS BATTLE 20

Name: Gilgamesh

HP: about 5000

Weakness: None

Earnings: None

Recommended Party Level: 22

 

He is a little stronger than last time. But this time it’s not a “One-on-One” battle. Just keep pounding. After that you have done about 3000 to 4000 damage points to him, he will cast “HASTE”, “ARMOR” and “SHELL” on him self. He will then begin to use stronger attacks. Keep whacking him until he runs away.

 

Keep going along the bridge until you blown away by Exdeath’s castle’s barrier. The party will wake up on the Continent of Grociana. Now go to the Far East until you reach the city of Rugor.

 

THE CITY OF RUGOR

There are some pretty good weapons in this city. Buy them if you need any of them (notice the invisible passage in the armor shop). Buy needed magic since there are 8 new magic spells to buy. Also, buy the “HEAL” spell if you haven’t got it yet. Then go to the Pub. You can earn some money if dance on the stage (the party dances very lousy. No wonder that you only get 100 GIL for that performance. There is a hidden passage on the left side of the Pub that leads to a Piano. Play it and go to the Inn. Rest, even you don’t need it. Galuf will wake up in the middle of the night and leave the Inn. Butz will follow him to the Pub and talk to him.

 

FINDING THE MOOGLE VILLAGE

 

Now leave the city and go south. You will eventually reach a castle. Ignore it for now, since there is a lot of nasty monster in it, named “Shield Dragon” (they are a lot stronger than any of the bosses that have fought this far). They have almost 20000 HP. But if you really have to check it out, then save before you enter it. Go up until you reach the Sealed room (if you encounter an enemy, then run or be toasted). Galuf will notice the 12 legendary weapons. You can check the weapons if you want but you wont get them until later into the game.

 

Notice: The fact that the “Shield Dragons” are strong doesn’t mean that they are impossible to defeat. Equip all characters with the “CONTROL” command (LV 2 Mediator ability) and try to control the “Shield Dragon”. If it fails then keep trying until you success. Have the “Shield Dragon” use “FLAME” on it self (it will do 4999 damage points. Don’t attack it physically, since it cancels the effect of the “CONTROL” command. Defend or heal if needed. Keep it up and you will earn 1000 GIL and 2500 EXP, if your entire party is still alive (10000 EXP if there is only surviving character). I reached level 40 with a single character in no time.

 

Anyways, go south and then go northeast (watch out for the “Kuzar” enemy; it has a high attack power). You will eventually reach a forest. Go east and talk to the Moogle. It will run of and fall into a hole. Follow him by jumping after him. Just keep going by stepping into the water. Pick up the 4400 GIL and the “Phoenix Down” on the way. After getting the “Phoenix Down”, go east and up the stairs.

 

BOSS BATTLE 21

Name: Tyrasuarus

HP: 5000

Weakness: Flame

Earnings: 9 ABP

Recommended Party Level: 23

 

This battle is actually pretty easy. Just use “FIRE 2” or “GILTOSS” and heal when needed.

 

The Moogle will then show you the way to the Moogle Village. Follow it and go the same way as it did (if you go over the desert, there is a big chance that you will run into the strong “Sand Crawl” enemy). But if you really have to take the shortcut then save before you cross the desert. When you reach the forest, go around in it until you find the Moogle Village.

 

MOOGLE VILLAGE

 

As you enter the forest, the Moogles will see you and get afraid. Go to the upper right part of the village and talk to the Moogle there. It will recognize you and reward you with 6 chests (they are containing a “Cabin”, “Dancing Dagger”, 1 GIL, 10000 GIL, “Phoenix Down” and an “Ether”. Now leave the house and go left. Enter the house and put on the Moogle suit that is located in it. Now enter the house that is located to the left of that house and talk to the Moogle. It will open the locked chest. Pick up the “Elf Cape” and go back to the first house. Talk to the Moogle and you will see a scene with Cara in it. She will come and pick up the party. The party will fly back to Bal Castle.

 

THE CASTLE OF BAL

 

The party will get to know that Galuf actually is the King of Bal (great for Butz to know that everyone in the party are royalties except him). After the chat go to the left part of the Throne room and get the “Hero Drink”. There is a hidden passage that leads to the “EXIT” spell, so be sure to get it. Then, go to the right part of the throne room and go up the stairs. Make your way up to Cara and the Hiryuu. Talk to Cara and she will tell you that the Hiryuu is dying. You will have to get the Hiryuu Plant in order to save it. Go back to the throne room and leave it by going south. On the first floor you will find a set of stairs on the right stairs. Go down and save. If you go down the second set of stairs, you will reach the basement floor. You can earn some good amount of ABP (up to 8 ABP). If you need it, then build up your abilities here. But watch out, the enemies can turn you to stone in no time. Save often! Anyways, go out on the courtyard and go left. Go through the door that is located just a few steps away. Rest if you need to and buy needed items. Then, go back out on the courtyard and go left again. You will see another door. Go through it and buy needed equipments. Now go up the stairs that if located in the upper part of the room. You will reach the roof. Go 3 steps to the right of the stairs to find another set of hidden stairs. Keep going and pick up the “Angel Suit”. Then go back out on the courtyard. Go south and talk to the guards. They will open the gate. Suddenly, enemies will appear.

 

BOSS BATTLE 22

Name: Abductor

HP: 2500

Weakness: None

Earnings: 2 ABP

Recommended Party Level: 23-24

 

Just pound this guy with physical attacks…

 

Go down and you will finally reach the World Map again. Go north to reach Kelb.

 

CITY OF KELB

 

At the first look, this place seems empty. Go to the top-most house and enter it. As you try to leave it again, you will be stopped by three wolfs. A wolf, named Kelgar, will appear. He seems to know Galuf. You will get to know that Galuf and Kelgar are 2 of the 4 “Warriors of Dawn”, warriors that fought against Exdeath and sealed him 30 years ago. You will also get to know that Butz’s father, Dorgan, also was a “Warrior of Dawn”. After a little flashback, leave the house. Buy needed equipment and then go to the Inn. If you need to get healed, then enter the room with the beds and talk to wolf that is sitting at the table. Sit on the left side of the table. He will get you some food (it will restore your party). After the meal, he will give you 8 “Potions” (and it’s all for free). You can do this a few times. Now, go to the upper right part of the city and talk to the playing children. One of them will give you the “REQUIEM” song. Check the gate in the upper part of the city and go through it.

 

HIRYUU VALLEY

 

(SAVE) Go north and enter the mountain area. This is the “Hiryuu Valley”. Go northeast and go through the crack on the right side. Pick up 5000 GIL out of the chest. Go back to the previous screen and go left. Go up and enter the next screen. Just go through this and the next screen. Then go and pick up the “Cabin”. Then leave through the passage in the lower left part of the screen and go over the bridge. Keep going until you reach a screen with lots of bones on the ground. Check them to find a “Bone Mail” (it’s a very good armor but you will take damage when you get healed). You will sometimes run into an enemy called “????” (This is the Golem Esper). He will attack you and then run away. Keep fighting until you run into him again. This time with a “Zombie Dragon” and a “Bone Dragon”. Golem will ask you for help. Kill the Dragons and try to keep Golem alive (he has 2500 HP, so heal him if he gets to much damage). Attack the dragons with Fire-based attacks. When you have killed the dragons, just wait until Golem joins you. Go to the item menu and use the “Golem” item to get access to the Esper. Then leave through the passage in the middle of the screen. Check the right area of the room to find a trap hole. Jump down into it and pick up 7000 GIL. Go through the door, flip the switch and go back to the previous screen. Go up the stairs and enter the next screen. Leave trough the same way you entered and take the new passage. In the next screen, take the left path and pick up the “Coronet” and the “Airblade”. Go back and take the right path. Pick up the “Phoenix Down” and just keep going down until you reach a room with a Save point in it. Save and go back to the previous room. Go left and leave the screen. Go left and just keep going until you find the Hiryuu Plant. It will then suddenly attack you.

 

BOSS BATTLE 23

Name: Hiryuu Plant

HP: 12000

Weakness: None

Earnings: 10 ABP, Elixir

Recommended Party Level: 24-25

 

The Hiryuu Plant will summon a few Hiryuu Flowers. You can kill either them or ignore them. They will regenerate quite fast, but they are the only parts of the Hiryuu plant that attacks. The Hiryuu Plant itself actually doesn’t have any attacks. Use “GILTOSS”, if you are at a 24, then you should easily be able to do between 2000 and 5000 Damage points. Use “HEAL” when the Hiryuu Flowers casts status-changing spells.

 

GUIDO’S DWELLING

 

Pick up the Hiryuu plant and go back to the castle. As you reach the castle, the guards wont open the gate, since they think that you are Exdeath’s Minions. The party will jump into the water. Follow the moat until you reach a switch. Flip it to enter the castle. Go to the Hiryuu. You will get to know that Cara has gotten sick. She will tell you that Guido is calling you. Now go and give the Hiryuu the Hiryuu Plant. You will then get the control over the Hiryuu again. Fly north, past Kelb and fly east of the Hiryuu Valley. Then fly north to reach the ocean. Fly a little further north to find a island. Land on it and enter the cave. That’s Guido’s dwelling. Suddenly the island will be struck by an earthquake and will sink into the ocean. Now, fly west to reach castle of Surgate.

 

SURGATE CASTLE

 

Check the switch to the left of the gate and flip it. The guards will recognize Galuf and invite him into the castle. The guards will tell that King Zeza, the 4^th “Warrior of Dawn”, is leading the Surgate fleet to Exdeath’s Castle. Now, go up the lower left stairs and check out the red book to learn the “SPEED SONG”. Go back to the throne room and go up the upper left stairs. Keep going until you reach the library. Go left and go up the stairs. Now check the “FORBIDDEN BOOK” next to the World globe and but it in the “DEF” bookshelf (it’s the middle shelf in the upper row). Then take the “MONSTER ENCYCLOPEDIA” and put it in the “MNO” bookshelf (it’s the right-most shelf in the 3^rd row). Finally, take the “SECRET OF LONKA” book and put it in the “STU” shelf (it’s the 2^nd shelf in the lower row). Then go and talk to the woman. She will open a new passage and leave (just for fun; check the book case in the upper left corner. Butz will search for a Playboy Magazine). Anyways, go though the new passage and keep going until you reach a room with an old man in it. In the lower right part of this room is a chest that contains 5000 GIL. Now leave through the door, that is located just 3 steps right of the stairs. Go 2 steps down and the go left (go under the bridge). Go up the stairs and keep going until you reach a storage room. Pick up the “FLOAT” spell and go back to the Throne room. Now take the stairs on the right side of the throne room. Go left and go down the next set of stairs. Rest if you need to and buy needed things (there are a few new weapons to buy). Now leave the castle.

 

PREPARING FOR THE ATTACK

 

Fly back to the place where Guido’s Dwelling was located earlier. Fly southeast to find the Big Bridge. Fly east, along it, past Exdeath’s Castle and land on the big ship east of the castle. After a quick talk with King Zeza, you will be told to rest a little. Go down the stairs (behind the Hiryuu) and rest in the resting room. Monsters will then attack the ship. Run up to the deck and talk to Zeza. Then talk to all monsters on the ship to fight them (there are 4 of them). Then go down to fight Gilgamesh again.

 

BOSS BATTLE 24

Name: Gilgamesh, Enkidou

HP: 8888 (Gilgamesh), 4000 Enkidou

Weakness: None

Earnings: Gold Shield

Recommended Party Level: 25

 

The most important thing of this battle is; STEAL THE GENJI GLOVE!!! Otherwise just pound him with your best attacks (“GILTOSS” is one of them). After a while, Gilgamesh will summon “Enkidou”. It will use “WHITE WIND” on Gilgamesh and him self. If you haven’t learned “WHITE WIND” yet, then do it know!!! Use the “CONTROL” command on “Enkidou” and have him cast “WHITE WIND” on your party. Anyway, take out Enkidou first, since he heals Gilgamesh. Then go for Gilgamesh again.

 

BARRIER TOWER

 

Go down the stairs, go through the next screen and enter the room on the left side. Talk to Zeza and check out the other side of the chest. Talk to Zeza again. He will tell you that they are in a submarine. Zeza will then leave. Go down the stairs on the lower right part of the room and take a nap. Then follow Zeza and talk to him. Zeza will blow up the wall. You will now have to destroy this tower to make the barrier disappear. Go to the left part of this room and then go up. Save and enter he next room. You will reach a room with a lot of pipes on the floor. There are 2 chests here; one of them contains 9000 GIL and the other is a “MONSTER-IN-A-BOX” chest. Fight the monster/monsters and pick up the “Drain Sword”. Enter the next room to and go up to enter the 4^th floor. Just keep going until you get a call from Zeza (pick up 18000 GIL on the way). He will tell you that he has reached the power room. Go through the door and go up to the 9^th floor. Go left and go through the door. Fight the enemy in the chest to get a “Gold Hairpin”. Then go back and go the right way. Save and heal. Then, continue going until you reach the antenna.

 

BOSS BATTLE 25

Name: Atmos

HP: 19997

Weakness: None

Earnings: 12 ABP, Darkmatter

Recommended Party Level: 26-27

 

Now, THIS is a boss battle. He has a high HP rate. His “COMET” attack can do some serious damage, even kill you if you don’t have a good equipment (it could kill you even IF you have good equipment). If he manages to kill some body, then bring them back to live as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will draw them to an other dimension. Samurai’s could do good damage with their “GILTOSS” ability. GOOD LUCK!

 

The tower will explode. The party will manage to save them self but Zeza dies. The barrier will disappear. Talk to Galuf and Go around a little. After a while Faris will tell you that there might be a way to get to Guido’s Dwelling with the Submarine.

 

SHOAT

 

Bring up the world map. You will see a dot in the upper left part of the world map. Go there and enter the cave. Go through the cave to reach a forest. Save and walk around until you run into Shoat. He isn’t too hard to defeat (he has 5000 HP). Just pound him with physical attacks and use “HEAL” if he turns you into stone. After the battle choose the “Shoat” item in the item menu to get access to the Shoat Esper.

 

VILLAGE OF MUA

 

Take the sub to the west part of the world (to the whit dot). Dive up to reach the Village of Mua. Buy the needed equipment and spells. Then, go to the Pub and Play the piano (begins to sound good, huh?). And that’s it! Take the sub and stear to the place where Guido’s Dwelling was located.

 

GUIDO’S CAVE

 

Go to the 2^nd basement floor. Go down and enter the next screen. You will reach a room with 5 chests in it. Check the middle chest and take the big rock. Put it in the upper left chest and go through the new-opened passage. Flip the switch and go back. Take the rock and put it in the lower left chest. Go through the passage and keep going until you reach the 3^rd basement floor. Go to the lower left are of this room to find a passage in a dark area. Flip the switch and go down the set of stairs that just appeared. Just keep going until you reach 5^th basement floor. Go up to the spring and jump onto the turtle. Go up until you meet another turtle. Butz will whack it a little bit. Galuf will tell him to stop but Butz continues, since he thinks that it is fun. You will get to know that the turtle actually is Guido. He will tell you that Exdeath actually was a tree in the beginning. Your next destination is the “Great Forest of Mua”. You will then get the “Elder Branch”. Go back to the Sub or use the “EXIT” spell (Time Mage magic).

 

GREAT FOREST OF MUA

 

Make your way to Mua. Rest and then leave the town. Go east and cross the bridge to reach. Go up until you reach a dead end. The branch will react and will open a passage. Keep going up to find a chest with 2500 GIL in it. Then go all the way east to find another chest with an “Ether” in it. Check the tree to the left of the chest to open an underground passage. Go through it to reach a different part of the forest. Go northeast to find 4900 GIL. Go east and then north to find a “Phoenix Down”. Go southeast and then go northeast to find 9500 GIL. Then go back a little (southwest) and then go north, to a tree with a hole in it. Check it out and a new passage will open. Go through the underground passage and you will reach another different part of the forest. Go north a bit and then go east to find a “Hero Drink”. Go northeast to find a weird looking Save point. Save and go northwest to find an “Elixir”. Keep going north until you find a chest with the “Morning Star” in it and then go west. The forest will begin to burn. Just wait until a Moogle appears and follow it. You will find yourself in an underground-chamber. Check the spring to get recovered. Wait until the Moogle in the upper-right part of the screen begins to move and then go through the passage. You will reach the surface again. Check the chest to your right to get a “Flame Shield”. Go east, pick up the “Soot” and go north. You have finally reached your goal. Enter the Elder tree, Interior. Cast “FLOAT” on your party and go up. Suddenly you will be attacked by 4 Crystals.

 

BOSS BATTLE 26

Name: Elemental Crystal x4

HP: 7777 each

Weakness: None

Earnings: 15 ABP

Recommended Party Level: 28

 

This could be pretty hard. Try to avoid using elemental attacks, since you could risk healing them. Instead, use “GILTOSS” or physical attacks. Try to concentrate on only one crystal each time. Just watch when they begin to get serious. The will use strong spells, such as “Aqua Breath”, Earth Shaker”, “Aero 3”, “FIRE 3” and “ICE 3”. “Earth Shaker” shouldn’t be any problems since I told you to cast “FLOAT”. Otherwise, use “CURE 3” or “WHITE WIND”.

 

Exdeath will appear. Lean back and watch the dramatic sequence. Cara will appear and save the party. Exdeath will try to kill Cara but Galuf will save her. He will then attack Exdeath.

 

BOSS BATTLE 27

Name: Exdeath

HP: ????

Weakness: None

Earnings: None

Recommended Party Level: -

 

This is the final boss battle… just kidding!!! This is actually a one-on-one battle between Exdeath and Galuf. Just pound him with all you got. Don’t bother with healing, since Galuf will continue fight even if his HP drops to 0. After a while, Exdeath will get mad and begin to cast the ultimate magic spells; “FLARE”, “HOLY” and “METEO”. But it is STILL not enough to get rid of Galuf. Keep pounding Exdeath and he will eventually go down. GALUF DEFEATED EXDEATH!!!

 

But it’s unfortunately not enough to kill him. He will disappear and Galuf will…DIE! Walk around a little. Cara will suddenly say that she can hear Galuf. Cara will then inherit all Galuf’s abilities and join your party. Fly the Hiryuu to the west of Mua and land it. Take the Sub to Exdeath’s Castle.

 

EXDEATH’S CASTLE

 

Let’s make him pay for Galuf’s death. Go up to the 2^nd floor and check the lower part of this room to find the “Diamond Shield” and the “Ether”. Then go up to the 3^rd floor. Go to the end of this room to realize that it is a dead end. As you try to go back Cara will notice that it actually only is an illusion. Kelgar (the last surviving “Warrior of Dawn”) will sacrifice his life to show the castle’s true form. Go through the new opened passage to the 4^th floor. In this room flip the green-blue switch to open a passage to the “Ice Shield”. Then enter the next screen, the 5^th floor. Just go all the way up and go right, through the wall to find a shortcut. Pick up the “Ether” and enter the 6^th floor.

Have a Geomancer in your part and go 2 steps left and go down into the lava. Go all the way down and go right to find the “Gale Bow”. Get out of the lava and go up to the next floor (don’t forget to pick up the “Elixir” in the middle of the room before you leave). On the 7^th floor, you’ll have to step on the switch and press “A”-button. By pressing it at the right time you will be able to get access to 2 chest and the Exit (if you press it at the wrong moment, you will have to figh an enemy). The left chest contains an “Ice Brand” and the right one contains the “Kotetsu Sword”. When you have got them, enter the next screen, save and leave to the 8^th floor. Now go left, into a hidden passage to find an “Elixir”. Go all the way left to find 9900 GIL. Then enter the next screen. Just keep going until you have to go through lava. Go to the right part of the room and go up the stair to get 8000 GIL. Then go back a little and go up the stairs. Go right and try to get the “Double Lance” with out falling down. Then go up to the upper part of this area to reach the Carbuncle Esper.

 

BOSS BATTLE 28

Name: Carbunkle

HP: 15000

Weakness: None

Earnings: 11 ABP

Recommended Party Level: 29

 

What a beast! It’s almost unimaginable that this is the same creature as the cute Carbunkle in FF8. Attack him physically, since has “WALL” cast on himself all the time (magical attacks will be reflected). Another option might be to cast “WALL” on your self and then cast the spell (that you wanted to cast on him) on yourself and let the magic reflect against him. But I would recommend going for physical attacks. Heal when needed!

 

Go down the stairs and go back to the place, where you go the “Double Lance”. This time step on the lower part of the area and enter the next screen. Save and go up to the 11^th floor. Go up and check the chest. Then go up. As you try to leave for the next room, Gilgamesh will appear.

 

BOSS BATTLE 29

Name: Gilgamesh

HP: about 15000 before transformation

Weakness: None

Earnings: Excailbur

Recommended Party Level: 29

 

He is a little more difficult to defeat this time. He will use a lot of status changing spell, so be prepared to use “HEAL” and status recovering items. Keep attacking him with all you got. As usual, “GILTOSS” works very well. After a chat he will use “Gilgamesh Change” (now, THIS is the Gilgamesh I remember from FF8). While he is transformed try to steal the ultra-valuable “Genji helmet”, one of the best helmets in the game! Gilgamesh will try to attack you with the “Excalibur”. To everyone’s surprise, it will only do some lousy damage points. Suddenly you will hear Exdeath’s voice. He will send Gilgamesh to the “Cleft of Dimension” (poor Gilgamesh, he wasn’t such a bad guy after all). Gilgamesh will then drop the “Excailbur”. It’s actually a fake Excalibur (it’s even wrong spelled). Anyways, now we have 2 persons to avenge: Galuf and Gilgamesh.

 

Be sure to equip the “Genji Helmet” on somebody and be sure NOT to equip the “Excailbur” on anybody! Go back to the previous room, save and heal! Then go back to the room where you fought Gilgamesh and go up the stairs. Then you will finally get to fight Exdeath! (Cast “FLOAT” before the battle begins and have a summoner in your party)

 

BOSS BATTLE 30

Name: Exdeath

HP: 32768

Weakness: None

Earnings: None

Recommended Party Level: 29

 

This is not going to be easy. First of all be sure to summon Golem and Carbunkle (heal with items when Carbunkle is active. Attack him physically if you have a Knight in your party or use “GILTOSS”. Have the summoner summon Golem and Carbunkle if their effect wears of. Otherwise have him/her summon Titan. “FLOAT” should protect you against earth-based attack, but watch out for the “Gravity 100” attack (it will neutralize the effect of “FLOAT”). Just cast “FLOAT” again and the problem is solved. Exdeath will surely use “CONDEMN” (it will give you character a certain amount of seconds to live). When the character dies, bring him back to live and keep pounding Exdeath. Don’t hold back on “Elixirs”; use them if you have to!!! Keep it up and he will eventually go down.

 

The party will find them self outside the Tycoon Castle. Have they finally have returned to their own world??? (And what about Cara?)

 

WORLD 3

 

GETTING BOCO AGAIN

 

Enter the castle and talk to the soldier. He will open the gate for you. Go up and you will eventually find the Chancellor. He will get to know that Faris is Princess Sarisa. A banquet will take place. Cara will go out on the balcony. Follow her and talk to her. Go through the door in the upper-left part of the throne room and go up the stairs. Check the red book to see a one of Faris’ flashbacks. Leave the castle. At the gate, Butz and Cara will begin to fight (Butz gets actually beaten up by a girl! What a wimp). On the world map, go southwest and cross the bridge. Go north and get Boco. Boco has got a wife (her name is Coco). Now take Boco and go back to Tycoon Castle. Go north of the castle and then go northwest. Cross the river and go to the far west. You will then pass the city of Tule. Save and keep going west. The party will then fall into a hole in the ground. Suddenly, Antlion will attack you.

 

BOSS BATTLE 31

Name: Antlion

HP: 8100

Weakness: Water

Earnings: None

Recommended Party Level: 29-30

This guy is very easy to defeat. Just attack physically and he will eventually go down.

 

Wait a little until a rope appears in the upper part of the screen. Go and check it out. Try it out a few times (it’s pretty fun to watch). You will then finally be brought up to the surface. Faris was joking with you because you left her behind. Cara will then say that she has got a splinter in her leg. That isn’t too dangerous… or is it?

 

THE NEW MISSION BRIEFING

 

Go southeast to a cave and enter it. Go up to find… Guido!!! He will tell the party that the Cara’s world and Butz’s world have merged into one world. Suddenly the splinter in Cara’s leg will plop out and transform into EXDEATH! Exdeath will say that he is trying to get the power of “VOID”. The “VOID” is sealed in the “Cleft of Dimension”. After a short dramatic scene Guido and Exdeath will begin to fight. Exdeath will then leave. The party will go to the Ancient Library. You will have to go to the “Cleft of Dimension” in order to stop Exdeath. But since there are a lot of powerful monsters sealed in the “Cleft of Dimension”, you will have to get the 12 legendary weapons. They are sealed in the Castle of Kuzar and you will have to get the 4 stone tablets to break the seal. You will also have to get the Ultimate Black and White spells (“FLARE” and “HOLY”), the Ultimate Dimensional spell (“METEO”), the Sea King “Leviathan” and the King of Dragons “Bahamut”. Now, go east of the Ancient Library and go past the Master tree. You will eventually see a pyramid. Save and enter it.

 

PYRAMID

 

As you go up and check the door, 2 statues will attack you.

 

BOSS BATTLE 32

Name: Gargoyle x2

HP: 5000

Weakness: None

Earnings: 10 ABP

Recommended Party Level: 30

 

This battle is pretty easy. The only thing you should put on your mind, is that you have to try to kill them at the same time (use Summon magic or “GILTOSS”).

 

The door will open and you are free to enter. Go through the door on you left side and go up to the 2^nd floor. Go through the first door to your left. The door will close and monsters will pop out. Flip the 1^st and the last switch. Then go down and enter the 3^rd floor. If you go up, you will see 3 chests. Each of them is a “MONSTER-IN-A-BOX” chest. By defeating them, you will get “Flame Shield”, “Dark Matter” and “White Suit”. Then go right and enter the 4^th floor. On this floor, watch out for the “Machine Head” enemies. Go to the upper-right part of the room to get the “Elixir”. Go to the coffin to your left and open it to a few “Mummy” enemies. Go up and pick up the “Thornlet” (the best helmet in the game, but watch out; it will reduce your HP during battle). Now, go left of the coffin to get another “Elixir”. Go down a little to the left to find another coffin fight the “Mummy” enemies and enter the next screen (you might want to go down, flip the switch and get the Black Suit before leaving). Save and enter the 5^th floor. You might want to have a thief in your party to see the hidden passages in this room. First of all go left and follow the path. Go up the stairs. Check both chests and take the “Crystal Armor” and the “Dark Matter” (both chest are “MONSTER-IN-A-BOX” chests). Go back to the entrance of the 5^th floor and go up. Go to the lower part of the room to reach the hidden passage (have a thief in your party to see the passages). Check the “MONSTER-IN-A-BOX” chest and take the “Dark Robe”. Go back to the beginning of the hidden passage and go left. Follow the path and go up the stairs. Go right and let the sand flow but you down. Check the chest, fight the enemy and pick up the “Dark Matter”. Go through the hidden passage and go back up to the 6^th floor (there is a chance that you run in into an enemy called “Sekmeth” on the 5^th floor. He looks just like one of the “Minotaur bothers” in FF8. When you defeat him, he will say that his brother will avenge him). This time flip the switch, before cross the sand flow. Go right and ignore the next switch for now. Go through the door on the right side and flip the LEFT switch (the right one will push you down to the 5^th floor again). Check the chest on the right side to get 8000 GIL and 9000 GIL. Check the “MONSTER-IN-A-BOX” chests on the left side, to get 2 “Dark Matters”. Go back to the previous room and flip the switch that you ignored earlier. Go through the rest of this room to reach the 7^th floor. Go left (ignore the stairs for now) and go through the door left of the stairs. Go up and go through the hidden passages. Pick up the “Earth Hammer”, 10000 GIL and the “Cabin” (one of them is a “MONSTER-IN-A-BOX” chest). Now go back and go up the stairs that you ignored. On the 8^th floor, you will have to try to reach the upper left part of the room. Pick up the “Ribbon” to your left and the “Gold Hairpin” to your right. Pick up the “Guard Ring in the middle of the room. Go down the stairs in the upper right part of the room and pick up the “Dark Matter” and 12000 GIL. Go back to the 8^th floor and down the stairs in the upper left part of the room. Pick up the “Elixir” and the “Dark Matter”. Finally go left, on the dark areas and go through the door to get the first stone tablet. You will be brought to the top of the pyramid. Suddenly, Bahamut appears and tells you that he will be waiting for you at the north mountain. Go down and leave the pyramid. Save and go east to the forest with the master tree in it. The Hiryuu will appear with Lenna (she is unconscious). Suddenly, Exdeath appears and tells you that the monsters in the “Cleft of Dimension” are his minions now. The ancient library will disappear in the “Cleft of Dimension” and Merugene will attack the party.

WOW!!! Eh… I mean let’s get ready for this battle. Have 2 Black mages and 1 Blue/White Mage in your party. Have the Black mages use “FIRE 3” and have the Blue/White Mage use “WHITE WIND”/“CURE 3” when needed.

 

Lenna will wake up and join the party again. Go east, to the place where the ancient library was located earlier and go north to the Surgate castle. Rest and go northeast to find the airship. You will see a scene with Exdeath in it. He will destroy many cities with the power of “VOID”. Now fly north (a 3 seconds flight) and you will eventually see a small forest. Land next to it and and walk around in it until you find the Hidden Town of Mirage.

 

TOWN OF MIRAGE

 

This is probably the best city in this game. I hope you have some cash with you, since this town is EXPENSIVE!!! First of all enter the Inn and go up to the 2^nd floor. This is the Item shop. You can actually buy “Elixirs” here. They are pretty expensive so come back for them later, since you will need the cash you have right now for other things. Now go BEHIND the PUB and go down to find an entrance to the tavern. Go left and down the stairs. Go down to leave the house. Go down and enter the house on you left side. Go up and go down the stairs. On the 1^st basement floor, go down and left through the hidden passage. You will come to small room with a set of stairs. Ignore it and keep going left through another hidden passage. Play the piano to finally master it. Now go all the way back through the hidden passages and go right, past the door that is impossible to go through. Go up, through the passage to the right of the door to reach the weapon shop. You can buy a few good throwing weapons from the man near the stairs. Go down to buy equip able weapons. Now go ALL the way back to city entrance. Go to the magic shop and buy any spell that you don’t have. Go out of the magic shop and go along the left wall of the magic shop. When you cant go any further up, go right and buy some more spells. Then go to the Armor shop and buy the needed armors. Check the upper part of the desk (near the shield sign) to find a passage. Go left, through the hidden passage and talk to the man near the chests and barrels, to buy accessories. Now leave the town.

 

THE HERO/POWER SONG AND THE SEALED WEAPONS

 

Take the airship and fly northeast to reach the city of Crescent. Go to the house in the lower right part of the town and play the piano. Then talk to the Bard to learn the “POWER SONG” and the “HERO SONG”. Then take the airship and fly north to a BIG desert (fly for 4 seconds). Fly west for 2 seconds to reach the “Sealed castle of Kuzar” (check where it is on the map, since you will come a few times. Enter it and go up. Watch out, since there are a few strong monsters in the Grand Hall (except the “Shield Dragon”, there is also monsters called “Exdeath Soul”). Go up until you reach the sealed room. Put the stone tablet on the sparkling table. You can now take 3 of the 12 legendary weapons. I will list them below:

This “MONSTER-IN-A-BOX” chest is actually a boss battle. Use “FIRE 3” and physical attacks. Use “WHITE WIND” or “CURE 3” when needed and use “LIFE 2” if he uses “Blaster”. After a while, he will use “Image”, making 2 clones of him self. Just concentrate on the one in the middle (you might want to cast “HASTE 2”/“SLOW 2” to make this battle a little easier). Keep pounding until the original Pantera dies. The other 2 Panteras will then run away.

 

Take the “Rising Sun” and go through the door in the upper right part of the room. Save and enter the next room. Go straight up and pick up the “Guard Ring” after fighting the “Machine head”.

Go up to reach the 5^th floor. On this floor, there are a few more traps. Pick up the “Ether” and the “Dragon fang” and then go up (watch out for the traps). Save and go up to the 7^th floor. There is a “Dark Matter” in the upper left of the room and a “Circlet in the upper right part. Anyways, go up to find the 2^nd Stone tablet.

Finally, pick up the 2^nd stone tablet. The door to the “Fork tower” will open and give you access to the Ultimate Black and White Magic spells. Now leave the Solitary Island Temple, by using “EXIT” or going all the way back.

After getting 3 more weapons, fly east for one second and fly south for one second. You will see a small area surrounded by mountains. Land there and enter the cave. Go through the door in the left part of the room. You will then reach the pirates base. As you try to go up, Faris will hear a sound. Syldra’s soul will appear. It is willing to help you and transforms into the Syldra Esper. Now leave the pirate’s base and go back to the airship. ‘

 

FORK TOWER

 

Fly to the Fork tower, west of Crescent Island. You will now have to split in 2 groups. Divide into 2 WELL BALANCED groups. As you are supposed form groups, take them to the door you want them to go through. The party that went through the left door will only encounter enemies that use magic. Be sure that they can use magic. Just move up to the top and pick up the “Ether” and the “Wonder Rod”. As you reach the top, the scene will change to the other party.

This is actually Sekmeth’s big brother. Anyhow, you wont be able to use magic spells in this place, so attack him physically or use “GILTOSS”. Just be sure not to have Holy-elemental weapons equipped (Excalibur, Holy Lance etc). this battle shouldn’t be so hard, especially if you use “GILTOSS”. Heal with “Hi-Potions” if you need it.

 

The “HOLY” spell then be unsealed and it is finally yours.

 

Meanwhile, the other party is still fighting.

This is a little harder that the “Minotauros-battle”. The most important thing in this battle is: DON’T USE PHYSICAL ATTACKS. It will reset the battle and you will have to fight him again. Use “AERO 3” or “FIRE/ICE/BOLT 3” and cure when need it. He will cast “FLARE” before he dies.

 

Finally, you have gotten the Ultimate Black spell: “FLARE”! The tower will then disappear.

 

THE HIDDEN CAVE OF THE PSYCHIC

 

Take the airship and land it on the spot were the tower was located. You will the reach the underwater-hangar again. Go left and save at the save point. Go through the door and go down the stairs to find Cid. He and Mid will upgrade the airship again. Fly north to the big desert and fly west for 4-5 seconds to reach the City of Karnak. Land in the sea south of the city and dive. Search the area to find a underwater-cave. There is a man in this cave that tells you about your journey (total amounts of battles, number of enemies killed etc).

 

End of walkthrough (for now)
