Gau's Rages List
Here's the latest version--there are some more additions to the
list (only 9 missing now).
V1.1
This is a mini-FAQ on GAU's rages in Final Fantasy 3. Enjoy!
Rages are learned by using GAU's 'Leap' command in combat. Once you
have lept, you will exit combat with your party minus GAU. After one
or more combats, GAU will find your party again with new rage technique(s).
You will learn rages for all monsters in the initial combat and for the
combat in which GAU returns. LEAP CAN ONLY BE USED ON THE VELDT! The
Veldt will contain (virtually) all of the monsters you have encountered
so far in the game (so return here after you have fought new monsters).
A few monsters, mainly bosses will never appear, though. Also, there are
a few monsters that rages cannot be learned from (possibly a bug in the
game). So far, these include ProtoArmor, Pugs, and I believe one other.
No matter how many times you Leap at them, you will never learn their
rages.
Rages, once initiated in combat, cause GAU to go into a berserk-like
frenzy, which cannot be broken--IOW you no longer control him. The only
way to stop a rage is upon the end of combat or by dying. Each rage has
a normal attack form and ONE special power--ONLY ONE, even if the monster
had several. The CPU will randomly have GAU attack or use his special
power each time he gains initiative. The special powers vary widely in
effect and usefulness, and often replicate spell effects (but at no MP
cost). Rages can also give protective/enhancing spell effects inherent
to the monster, such as Haste, Float, Vanish, Shell, Safe, etc. (I have
not listed which Rages give which enhancements here, but possibly in the
future...)
NOTES:-You receive NO experience for fighting monsters on the Veldt.
-Monsters you have fought at the Colloseum will not appear on the
Veldt. You must fight them elsewhere for them to appear.
-There are several rages called 'Mag Roader'. They are all
different, so check each one for its effect.
-Rages for undead monsters transform GAU into undead with regard
to such things like healing (heal/drain/death spells are inversed)
So be careful! Cure spells now damage him in this state.
-Don't worry about being able to return to the Veldt after you have
left. You will can always come back sooner or later.
There are 256 slots for Rages, and I think there are 255 total (the magic
number for this game!) Here is a list of the special powers produced
by Rages (there are still a few missing). This list is divided into
16 pages of 16 rages (ooh, that rhymed). this is how they are displayed
in precise order, using L + R buttons to scroll down the list.
