-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Wow, here I am again. Another month, another new FAQ. This month, I chose to do
the award winning (OK, maybe not, but it's still fun, you must admit) game
Final Fantasy IV. Since Final Fantasy Chronicles is now out, and all that fun
stuff, I felt that now was a good time to do a guide for the game. Since I
also have guides for Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy 6, and Final Fantasy 9,
doing a guide for this game would get me closer to having guides for every
Final Fantasy game ever made!
A little note about this guide before I start. This is actually one part of a
two part, co written, guide for Final Fantasy Chronicles. I am doing Final
Fantasy IV, while a kick ass writer named Adrenaline SL will be handling the
Chrono Trigger part of the guide. I am not going to lie to you, my good people.
I would much rather do a guide for Chrono Trigger than Final Fantasy IV.
However, since AdrenalineSL pestered me to do a FAQ for this game, I had
no choice but to obey her. Make sure to check out her Chrono Trigger guide,
as I am sure it kicks even more butt than this guide does!
Final Fantasy IV is a great game from Squaresoft. As some of you may know, it
was originally ported over to the Super Nintendo back in 1992, as Final
Fantasy II. However, it was a pretty crappy translation, in some people's
eyes. Apparently, Squaresoft made the game way too easy for us "stupid
americans", and it was not translated properly, either. Ah well, I still
loved that game, and it also made history, because it was my first review at
GameFAQs. That review has since been updated, but it's the thought that
counts.
So, I decided to get off my duff and download a ROM of Final Fantasy IV, and
play through it, and I can see what all the hype is about. This game is great!
It's not the best game ever, I liked some of the other Final Fantasies
better, but no doubt this game kicks ass in its own way. Now, I have FFC, and
the game rocks!
Peace, and remember, check out Adrenaline SL's Chrono Trigger guide or I'll
break your arm in two! I'll say it once more, please check out AdrenalineSL's
Chrono Trigger guide or I'll um...do stuff to you. Be scared.

---------------------------------------
CECIL HARVEY
---------------------------------------
Age: 20
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 58 kg
Right-handed
Birthplace: Unknown
Special Commands (Dark Knight):
Dark Wave: A dark wave is created from the force of Cecil's swordstroke
that damages all enemies. Cecil loses some HP's when performing this
attack.
Special Commands (Paladin):
Cover: Cecil will absorb most forms of damage targeted at a specific
party member.
Story (contains spoilers):
In order to fully understand Cecil's past, it is important to cover the
history of the Lunarian civilization and its ties with the planet earth.
When the planet between Mars and Jupiter was on the verge of being
shattered, its inhabitants, the Lunarians, fled to the Earth on
spaceships. The Lunarians arrived on earth, only to discover that the
planet's inhabitants were still evolving. In order to prevent
disturbing this delicate process, they built a second moon where they
entered a deep slumber. Among these Lunarians was Zemus, a spite-filled
man who sought to make the beautiful planet of earth his own. The
manifestation of hatred, Zeromus, took possession through this avarice.
While Zemus's body was ultimately forced to sleep, his foul mind
remained awake, contemplating the destruction of the inhabitatns of
earth. Only a few of the Lunarians, such as Foo-soo-ya, remained awake,
anticipating the day when the people of earth would reach their full
potential and thus learn to understand the Lunarian race. Foo-soo-ya's
brother, Klu-ya, became bored by the humans' slow progress and built a
magical ship to take him to earth. On earth he taught the humans
several aspects of Lunarian technology, including the airships and the
Devil's Road. During this time Klu-Ya fell in love with a human women
who later bore him two children--Cecil and Golbeza. At this point
Klu-Ya forsees the actions of the dreaded Zemus and travels to Mt.
Ordeals to await the day where resolution would be achieved betwen him
and his son.
While Golbeza ultimately fell under Zemus's sinister influence, Cecil
was raised as an orphan until taken in by King Baron early in his life.
While under the juristiction of the king Cecil became a Black Knight
and toiled through the army's ranks, finally securing himself a
position of the Captain of the Red Wings. When Cecil begins to detect
the corruption within the kingdom of Baron, he flees and along with his
friend Cain sets out to inform other nations of Baron's true motives.
The highlight of Cecil's journey occurs when he reaches Mt. Ordeals,
where his father, now referred to as "the Light", tests Cecil's spirit.
In this Cecil redeems his guilt for the atrocities he committed under
King Baron's rule, and is transformed into a Paladin. He also recieves
a legendary sword infused with the spirit of his father and upon which
is inscribed the Mysidian legend.
Eventually Cecil uncovers his father's spaceship and uses it to travel
to the Lunarian moon. Here Foo-soo-ya reveals to Cecil the secrets of
his past and returns with his party to earth to battle the Giant of
Babel, a mechanized devil designated by a Zemus as the catalyst for the
destruction of earth. After the giant's destruction, Foo-soo-ya removes
Zemus's control over Golbeza's mind and Cecil and his allies return to
the moon a second time to defeat the dread force awaiting them there--
the hatred, Zeromus. At the end of the game, Cecil ascends the Baronian
throne with Rosa as his queen.
---------------------------------------
KAIN HIGHWIND
---------------------------------------
Age: 21
Height: 183 cm
Weight: 61 kg
Left-handed
Birthplace: Baron
Special Commands:
Jump: Kain leaps high into the air and sweeps down on an unsuspecting
foe, causing hefty amounts of damage. Kain is invulnerable while he is
in the air.
Story (contains spoilers):
Kain is one of the Dragon Knights of Baron. He is tempted by King Baron
to join the Black Knights like his friend Cecil, but refuses because he
is intent on following in his father's footsteps.
Kain is jealous of Cecil due to his friend's close relationship with
Rosa. It is this jealously that allows him to be manipulated by
Golbeza. Through this possession we learn that Cain does not love Rosa
so much as he is envious of Cecil; while under Golbeza's influence he
does not even seem to care that Rosa's life is threatened by the scythe
that hovers over her head, but is quite eager to demonstrate his
superiority to Cecil, both at the invasion of Fabul and at the events
that build up to the confrontation at the Tower of Zot. However, when
Golbeza's control is not in effect, Cain appears to be excessively
troubled by the harsh actions he commits against both Cecil and Rosa.
At the end of the game Cain walks away from the lives of those around
him in an effort to strengthen himself as a Dragon Knight, and perhaps
to redeem himself for the crimes he committed against his friends.
---------------------------------------
ROSA FARRELL
---------------------------------------
Age: 19
Height: 162 cm
Weight: 47 kg
Right-handed
Birthplace: Baron
Special Commands:
Aim: If equipped with a Bow, Rosa can use this attack to increase her
hit rate to 100% and boost the damage inflicted by her arrows.
Pray: When Rosa uses Pray successfully, the entire party will regain
some lost HP's. This technique is not always effective, however.
Story (contains spoilers):
Rosa is, in many aspects, your standard stereotypical female RPG
character. She is Cecil's girlfriend, and as such the root of much of
the tension that exists between Cecil and Cain. And as with any
stereotypical female RPG character, Rosa has to be rescued--on more
than one occassion. However, Rosa is also a very effective user of
White Magic, having studied under the white wizards of Baron, and is
also extremely talented with a bow and arrows.
Little is revealed about Rosa's past. Her father was apparently a great
knight who was killed when Rosa was still little; as such, Rosa's
mother appears to be quite protective of her, showing great distraught
when she learns that Rosa was kidnapped by Golbeza. Rosa's relationship
with her mother is never fully built upon, but she is especially close
to Cecil, running after him when he leaves Baron and remaining with him
for a great deal of the game. The reasoning behind her overbearing
nature is never fully explained; one could assume that the death of
Rosa's father caused her to channel all of her energies on Cecil.
Rosa ascends the throne of Baron at the end of the game, with Cecil at
her side.
---------------------------------------
EDWARD CHRIS VON MUIR
---------------------------------------
Age: 24
Height: 174 cm
Weight: 51 kg
Right-handed
Birthplace: Damcyan
Special Commands:
Hide: Gilbert hides from the ensuing battle.
Medicine: Edward restores his party members' HP's. Requires a potion.
Sing: Edward sings an enchanting melody that can cause various status
ailments to befall his unfortunate enemies.
Story (contains spoilers):
Edward is the prince of Damcyan. Becoming tired of the hassles of
royal life, he traveled the world under the guise of a singing bard.
During his travels he meets a charming woman named Anna, with whom he
immediately fell in love. Anna's over-protective father, Tella, became
infuriated by this and refused to allow her to continue seeing Edward.
But Anna and Gilbert were too devoted to one another, and decided to
run away. During Golbeza's invasion of Damcyan Anna is mortally wounded
as a result of shielding a barrage of arrows directed at Edward (this
is the first of numerous indications of Edward's cowardly nature).
When Golbeza and his troops have left and Cecil's party shows up, Tella
recognizes his daughter's body and attacks Edward in a blind outrage,
an attack that is halted only by Anna's dying words. As Tella leaves
the party to pursue his revenge on Golbeza, Cecil requests that Edward
travel with him to the Antlion's Cave to help him obtain the Light of
the Desert which he requires to cure a sick Rosa.
The night Rosa is recovering from her illness Edward is confronted by
Anna's spirit, who convinces him to continue to help Cecil on his
journey. However, Edward is seperated from Cecil when the boat from
Fabul is shipwrecked. He ends up in Damcyan, where he undergoes
treatment by a doctor in Troia. When Cecil stumbles upon him in Troia
Edward is too sick to aid the party directly in battle, and instead
offers the Paladin a powerful item called the Twinharp. Whenever
Edward plays his harp, the Twinharp reacts directly. This becomes the
key to defeating the Dark Elf; Edward's enchanting music is emanated
through the Twinharp, causing the Dark Elf's magnetic field to be
lifted and providing Cecil and his party with a chance at defeating
him.
At the end of the game Edward returns to his kingdom, hoping to
someday rebuild it to its former glory.
---------------------------------------
YANG FANG LEIDEN
---------------------------------------
Age: 35
Height: 182 cm
Weight: 76 kg
Ambidexterious
Birthplace: Fabul
Special Commands:
Endure: The physical damage dealt to Yang is reduced. The equivilent of
a "Protetsu" spell.
Gather: Yang accumulates his strength in order to perform a double-
damage attack.
Kick: Yang deals minimal damage to all enemies.
Story (contains spoilers):
Yang is one of the karate masters of Fabul. When Cecil and his party
first come across Yang it is at the summit on Mt. Hobs, were he is
defending himself from an onslaught of enemies sent by Golbeza to
execute him. After helping Yang fend off the monsters the party learns
that he is the last experienced fighter in his kingdom's army and that
in its current state Fabul stands little chance against Golbeza's
minions. Cecil's party travels with Yang to Fabul and the king there
allows them to play a role in defending the crystal of fire. However,
this attempt is unsuccessful, and Golbeza takes the crystal and kidnaps
Rosa in the process. Defeated but sill resolute, Fabul's king makes
arrangements for Yang to travel with Cecil's group to Baron to speak
with Cid on the issue of the war. However, the boatride to Fabul ends
in disaster, and the plan is unable to be carried out. Yang plunges
into the sea in a effort to help Rydia and turns up in Baron, in a
state of amnesia.
Baronian soldiers use Yang's amnesia as an advantage and recruit the
karate master to their side. When Cecil reaches Baron via the Devil's
Road gateway in Mysidia they find Yang and a pair of guards in the town
cafe. After a brief fight Yang comes to his senses and provides Cecil's
party with the key necessary to accessing the underground waterways
beneath Baron.
Yang remains with the party until the assault on the Tower of Babel,
when he sacrifices himself to stop the Gigantic Gun from eliminating
the Dwarves engaged in battle outside. Yang survives, however, and
awakens to find himself under the care of the Sylphs, magical creatures
that later make themselves available to Rydia's beck and call. He
recovers in time to help the rest of the world confront the Giant of
Babel near the end of the game.
Once Zeromus is defeated and Cecil and his companions have returned
safely to earth, Yang is made king of Fabul.
---------------------------------------
CID POLLENDINA
---------------------------------------
Age: 54
Height: 159 cm
Weight: 67 kg
Right-handed
Birthplace: Baron
Special Commands:
Peep: Cid analyzes his opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
Story (contains spoilers):
Cid is long-time friends with both Cecil and Rosa as well as the master
engineer behind Baron's ariships, and as such an integral figure in the
kingdom's military. Over time Cid takes notice of King Baron's unusual
behavior, but is imprisoned when he confronts his Majesty on this
issue. After Cecil's party defeats Cagnazzo they meet up with an
escaped Cid, who reveals a hidden passage in the Castle of Baron which
leads to his latest airship model, the Enterprise.
When the group reaches the underground world, Cid leaves the party to
wrap the Enterprise in mystic silver; without it, the airship is
rendered incapable of flying over the lava. He returns just in time to
save the party from plummeting to their doom, only to find that
Golbeza's Red Wings are in pursuit of their airship. To impede the Red
Wings' progress Cid leaps out of the Enterprise as it is approaching
the gateway leading to the outer world and sets off an explosion, thus
causing a landslide that effectibely blocks the passage. Cid is badly
injured because of this stunt and when Cecil's party returns to the
underground they find Cid being nursed back to health in the Dwarves
Castle. Even in this state, Cid continues to assist the party by
wrapping the Red Wings' stolen airship, the Falcon, in mystic silver
and again later by attaching a large drill to the front of the machine.
Cid makes himself useful again late in the game by helping Cecil's
party enter the Giant of Babel's interior my dropping them into its
mouth.
---------------------------------------
EDWARD GERALDINE (EDGE)
---------------------------------------
Age: 26
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 51 kg
Ambidexterious
Birthplace: Eblana
Special Commands:
Dart: Edge can throw unused swords, spears, and projectiles at an
opponent for massive damage.
Ninja: A type of magic unique to Edge. Mostly variations of different
black and white spells.
Sneak: Edge can steal different items from an array of enemies.
Story (contains spoilers):
Edge is the ninja prince of Eblana. When Rubicante (the most powerful
of the Four Emperors) launches an invasion on Edge's kingdom he kidnaps
his parents, the king and queen of Eblana. Edge, being the hotheaded
indivisual that he is, chases after Rubicante alone and is badly
defeated. Cecil and his party chase after Edge, but when they've caught
up with him Edge has already lost the battle. Edge plans on running
after Rubicante again when, upon viewing Rydia's reaction to the
party's recent turn of events, decides to stay with Cecil's group
instead. Together they invade the Tower of Babel in an effort to take
back the crystals stolen by Golbeza's army, but while ascending the
tower Edge finds that his parents have been transformed into monsters.
Afraid that they are beginning to lose their human mind, Edge's parents
destroy themselves just as Rubicante appears in a visible state of
rage. Rubicante expresses his apologies to Edge, explaining that his
assistant Dr. Lugeie had mutated his parents' bodies without his
consent, but Edge refuses to listen to the demon's words and the party
attacks him. Once Rubicante is beaten, Edge is told about Golbeza and
remains with Cecil's group for the rest of the game to help them
defeat this menace.
Edge appears to have quite a crush on Rydia, and flirts with her
constantly. However, this relationship is never fully developed; Rydia
returns to the Land of the Phantom Beasts at the end of the game, and
Edge, now king of Eblana, retains his love for her.
---------------------------------------
TELLAH
---------------------------------------
Age: 60
Height: 177 cm
Weight: 48 kg
Right-handed
Birthplace: Mysidia
Special Commands:
Remember: Tellah attempts to recall a spell. This command will disappear
after Cecil's transformation on Mt. Ordeals.
Story (contains spoilers):
Tellah was once one of the most renowned sages in all of Mysidia. In his
older years he began to lose his memory, and with that lost a great
deal of his magical powress. When Cecil reaches the town of Kaipo the
villagers tell him of how Tellah's daughter ran away with Edward, the
prince of Damcyan, after the sage refused to consent to their marriage.
Cecil and Rydia later run into Tellah while in the Underground Channel,
and they accompany each other out of the caves. Just as they arrive
outside of Damcyan, the kingdom is bombarded by the Red Wings and
Golbeza storms the castle and retreats with the Crystal of Wind.
When Tella enters the castle he finds his lost daughter Anna among the
dying bodies, and attacks Gilbert in a blind rage. He is stopped by
Anna, who explains that she died shielding Gilbert from arrows fired by
Golbeza's troops. Tella comforts her daughter as she is dying then
strands the party behind and leaves for Mt. Ordeals to unleash Meteo:
the ultimate black magic. Halfway up the mountain he meets up with
Cecil yet again, who is climbing Mt. Ordeals to become a Paladin.
When the Light appears to test Cecil Tellah's mind starts to race, and
he manages to recover all of the spells he had forgotten as well as
discover how to use Meteo.
At the top of the Tower of Zot, after Golbeza has taken the Crystal of
Earth, Tella attacks him. He uses his most powerful magic against him,
but is unable to cause any real damage. He uses Meteo as a last resort,
and while Golbeza's body is devastated by the magic, the shock caused
by the spell destroys Tella altogether. Tella dies, regretful that he
was blinded by such deep hatred.
---------------------------------------
RYDIA OF MIST
---------------------------------------
Age: 7
Height: 107 cm
Weight: 18 kg
Right-handed
Birthplace: Mist
Special Commands:
Summon: An extremely potent form of magic exclusive to Rydia. Calls
upon the aid of phantom beasts from a distant land to do her
bidding.
Story (contains spoilers):
Rydia was born in the village of the Misty Valley, home to the
Summoners. The Summoners are a rare group of humans imbued with a very
special gift: they can conjure phatom beasts from a distant land and
have them do their bidding. However, the Summoner and beast share a
strange bond; if the monster is ever killed in battle, then the
Summoner will perish as well. Cagnazzo, under the guise of the King of
Baron, orders Cecil and Cain to deliver a strange ring to the isolated
village. On the way they kill a dragon that forms from the mist and
hinders their progress. When Cecil and Cain arrive in the valley the
powers of the ring cause the village to become bathed in flames;
apparently Baron felt the Summoners were too dangerous to be left
alive. Cecil hears the cries of a small girl and approaches them, to
find Rydia and her dead mother. Rydia's mother was the one who
summoned the Mist Dragon, so when the dragon fell in battle, the woman
died also. Outraged to learn that Cecil and Cain were the ones who
murdered her mother, Rydia summons a phantom beast called Titan which
causes most of the valley to collapse in on itself.
Cecil awakens to find Cain missing and Rydia beside him, unconscious.
Cecil takes the silent girl to an inn at the desert town of Kaipo where
he encourages her to rest. That night an officer from Baron shows up at
the end and demands the Cecil hand over the girl; Cecil's refuses, and
proceeds to dispatch the officer and his guards. Rydia begins to trust
Cecil at this point, a trust that is strengthened when he and Rosa help
the girl to overcome her fear of fire.
While traveling by sea to Fabul, the boat is submerged underwater and
Rydia is swallowed by Leviathan, a large sea serpent and (as revealed
later) the ruler of the phantom beasts. Leviathan deposits Rydia in the
Land of Phantom Beasts, where she perfects her study of the arts of
magic. She shows up again in the underground world, just in time to
save Cecil from Golbeza and his Dark Dragon. Notably, Rydia now appears
to be a grown woman; when Cecil asks about this, Rydia explains that
time flows differently in the Land of the Phantom Beasts (It is never
explained, however, if she actually has matued both physically and
mentally or if she is still something of a child in an adult's body).
Either way, Rydia is much more open-minded at this point than she was
as a child.
After defeating Zeromus, Rydia returns to live with King Leviathan and
Queen Asura in the Land of the Phantom Beasts, perhaps able to relate
more closely to the monsters with which she shares a psychic link than
with humans since she had matured physically.
---------------------------------------
PALOM/POROM OF MYSIDIA
---------------------------------------
Age: 5
Height: 94/93 cm
Weight: 22/19 kg
Left-/Right-handed
Birthplace: Mysidia
Special Commands (Palom):
Boast: Palom's attack power is increased.
Special Commands (Porom):
False Tears: Porom pretends to cry, prompting the enemies to run away.
Special Commands (both):
Twin: Palom and Porom weave their spells together to unleash a potent
magic attack.
Story (contains spoilers):
When the boat from Fabul is shipwrecked and Cecil winds up alone in
Mysidia, the people there meet him with great discontent--the villagers
are enraged at him for the raid the Red Wings made on the village at
the start of the game. The elder that resides in Mysidia encourages him
to travel to Mt. Ordeals to attempt to become a Paladin. Fearing that
the Black Knight may have an ulterior agenda, he sends spies to
accompany Cecil on his journey to the mountain. Those spies are the
young yet renowned twin mages, Palom and Porom.
Palom, the black mage, is for the most part a very mouthy and arrogant
character. Unlike his sister, he seems to have very little faith in
Cecil the first time they meet (although he does grow to trust him
later). Porom, the white mage, is much more polite and considerate, and
frequently scolds her brother's rash behavior (to the point where she
becomes just as obnoxious). As one might imagine, these two are usually
at each other's throats, but at the same time they have a very intimate
and unspoken understanding of one another.
When Cecil returns from Mt. Ordeals, Palom and Porom beg the elder to
allow them to stay with the Paladin. The elder agrees to this, and
the twins remain in Cecil's party until a sad parting at Baron.
Cagnazzo's magic causes the walls of the castle to move together, and
to prevent the party from being crushed Palom and Porom turn themselves
into stone. They are revived by the elder's magic later in the game.
---------------------------------------
FOO-SOO-YA
---------------------------------------
Special Commands:
Spirit Wave: Foo-soo-ya becomes disabled for the remainder of the bout;
the HP's of his party members count upward.
Story (contains spoilers):
Foo-soo-ya is the guardian of the Lunarians' slumber. When the
Lunarians arrived on earth from their homeworld to find the humans
still evolving, the Lunarians built a second moon where most of them
entered a deep sleep. One of the ones who refused to enter this state,
Zemus, longed to live on the earth and so was forced to sleep by
Foo-soo-ya. When Foo-soo-ya discovered that Zemus's mind is still
active and causing a range of disasters to befall earth, he reveals
the location of his brother's magical ship and calls out to the half-
Lunar, Cecil. Cecil uses the ship to travel to the Lunarian moon, where
Foo-soo-ya reveals his heritage and offers his assistance to the people
of earth.
When the group arrives back on earth they find that the Giant of Babel,
Zemus's tool of destruction, has already appeared. Cecil's party enters
the interior of the Giant through its mouth and destroy its Control
System. Golbeza shows up at this point, but Foo-soo-ya intervenes and
removes Zemus's control over him. The connection between Cecil and
Golbeza is revealed, and Foo-soo-ya and Golbeza travel back to the moon
using the Tower of Babel gate to face Zemus alone. Cecil's party
follows after them, and with their combined efforts manage to force
the emergence of Zeromus.
With Zeromus defeated, Foo-soo-ya states that he will return to watch
over the slumber of the Lunarians. Golbeza goes with him, realizing
that he cannot return to earth considering the atrocities he has
committed.

----------------------------------------------[ IV. Walkthrough ]------------
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I am going to try a bit of a different approach to this walkthrough this
time. Normally, I will leave out storyline elements in an attempt not to
spoil the walkthrough reader. But I figured, most walkthrough readers won't
mind the spoilers, so I will proceed to include some storyline elements this
time.
Here you go, a suggested levels guide! Also, this is the level I was at during
the point of the game, if they seem weird, it's because characters died during
big battles, I built up two people only, etc. You can do the same as I did to
make characters like Edge have higher levels then they're supposed to.

OPENING STORYLINE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game starts off with Cecil and a group called the Red Wings heading back
from Mysidia from an airship. Cecil was forced to take a crystal from the
Mysidian Wizards, even though he really did not want to. Cecil suddenly demands
silence, and thinks about what he did, when enemies attack. Cecil quickly
dismisses them, but then wonders why monsters are suddenly attacking.
Back in Baron Castle now, Cecil hands the crystal to a man in a red cape named
Baigan. Baigan's job is to give the crystal to the King of Baron. The
king tells Cecil to leave, but Cecil tries to explain to him exactly what his
feelings are. The king will have none of it, however, so Cecil explains some
more. He tells the king that his fellow Red Wings are unhappy with the
decision to take the Crystal from the Mysidian Wizards. Suddenly, the king gets
all bitchy and fires Cecil from his post of commander of the Red Wings.
That was awfully nice of the king, eh? Kain comes in to back up Cecil, and
the King orders them both to deliver a Bomb Ring to Mist Village.
Now, you have control of Cecil. The game has begun!
=============================================================================
BARON CASTLE
=============================================================================
Items to be Found:
Tent
Ether
480 gil
=============================================================================
Head down. On floor 1F, hit the switch and nab the treasure chests. Head left,
then go up the stairs. Keep going, and Rosa will talk to you. Go into the left
tower, and now Cid will talk with you. Go up the tower.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rosa will walk in. Cecil is extremely mad at her for some reason, and refuses
to talk to her. Rosa gets all bitchy, and gets worried because Cecil is
leaving so soon. Cecil then turns into a wuss, reassures her that everything
will be OK (heh heh), then goes back to sleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the morning, you should automatically go through a scene, where you
leave the castle. The result: The start of your journey. Here's the cool
monolague scene that ended after Final Fantasy 6, for some reason. Play FF7,
FF8, or FF9 and see if you get one of these scenes. =/

Go to the Inn. Check the pot on the right hand side to get the Potion. Go
inside the Inn. Check the pot for another potion, and then click the swords and
nab the treasure chests. Go by Rosa's house. You will see a bunch of pots, in
the shape of a cross. Check the bottom pot in this cross, and you will get yet
another potion. In Rosa's house, check the shelves to get a Ether 1, and check
the pot to get a Maiden's Kiss. Go into the back of the town, inside the water
there is a Tent and Hr Glass. Now, but some stuff, and head out into the world
map. Head north, then west. You will be in the Mist Cave.

Enemies to be Fought: Larva, Sandmoth

=============================================================================
SUGGESTED LEVELS: Cecil - 11, Kain - 11
=============================================================================
The first thing I would reccomend for you to do once you get in here is raise
your levels. You start off at Level 10, but I got to Level 11 outside. Like I
said, levels in this game are not extraordinarily important, but they're
important enough. I got Cecil to 13 and Kain to 12, I think. It is harder to
get Kain to a high level than it is to get Cecil. The path through this place
is actually damn easy. You should not need a walkthrough to get through here,
but I will provide one anyways.
Keep on going through the path. Wow, what tough stuff. There will be a warning
soon."Go back....!" After you read the warning, head up and get the Potion from
the treasure chest. Go left, down, and all the way around to get the Tent from
the treasure chest. Go back up and get the Eyedrop from the treasure chest. Now
go back down, and go right. Get the Potion from the treasure chest. Now, head
up, and keep on going through the warnings, until you get to the boss.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MIST DRAGON
475 HP, 200 gil, 700 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Mist Dragon boss should not be too hard. Just have Cecil attack the Dragon
normally, while Kain Jumps it. Just jump it because the Jump attack does more
damage then Kain's normal attack does. It doesn't really matter about the Mist
Dragon's attacks, but this will mean most of them will focus on Cecil alone.
Just keep him cured up, I hope you bought some Cure 1 Potions in Baron Village!
Keep on doing this, and after about five, six rounds, the Mist Dragon will turn
into Mist. At this point, do not do anything. This could be a good time to
cure, as well. If you attack the Mist Dragon while it is in Mist form, it will
counter with a COLDMIST attack which does more than double the damage that the
normal attack does, and it affects both Cecil and Kain! However, if you jump,
it will not counter. Odd. Soon enough, the boss will die.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Head out, save your game, de-equip Kain, and enter the Town of Mist.
===============================================================================
TOWN OF MIST
===============================================================================
Items to be Found:

===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you enter the town, the ring will glow, and bombs will come and destroy
the entire city. Then, you will hear this little girl crying. Head up and help
her out. She tells Cecil and Kain that someone killed her mother's pet dragon.
Uh oh. Cecil will fess up to the crime, and suddenly the little girl gets mad
and frightened. Kain says that the King must want all the summoners to die, so
the little girl must die as well. Fortunately, he regains his senses and
decides to go against those orders of the king. You try to save the girl, but a
battle ensues, and she summons Titan. Nice job. When you awaken, Kain will be
gone, but you will have the little girl (Rydia) with you. OK..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head north, then east, until you get to Kaipo.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The inkeeper will let you stay for free. In the middle of the night, a Baron
General will come in, and say that all summoners must die! Since the girl is a
summoner, that means that she must die soon. Cecil obviously disagrees with
that, so the general orders that Cecil must die!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fight the boss.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OFFICER AND THREE SOLIDERS
Soldiers - 30 HP each. Officer - 120 HP. 162 gil, 471 EXP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle is not bad, at all. Killing all three soldiers, who all die in one
hit, is all it takes to win this battle. You can kill off the Officer first for
additional HP. Kill off all three soldiers and the Officer will just run away.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You promise to protect the girl. Name her and go to sleep. In the morning, you
have control. Go buy stuff, and get all the items. Head into the top right
building, where Rosa will be. The man tells you she needs the Sand Ruby to
survive. Leave the town. When you get outside, fight around the town, gaining
levels. I reccomend getting Rydia to Level 7. Once you do that, save your game
and head up and right to get to the Water Cavern.

===============================================================================
Head up from the entrance, and grab the two teasure chests, which contain a
Heal and Cure 1. Head left, and take the treasure chest, which contains a Tent.
Talk to the old man, and he will tell you that a bard has tricked his daughter
into running away with him. Tellah will join your party. Go up, and take the
treasure chest on the right hand side for an Iron Ring. Equip it on Tellah. Go
left and enter the waterfall. There is some stuff in here. Now, head out, and
go up to the next floor.
Keep following the path, collecting treasures from treasure chests along the
way. The next room is a save room. Follow the conversation. Follow the path,
grabbing the Ice Rod along the way. In the next room, grab the chests (Cure 1
and Feather Hat), and go left of the stairway, go around to get the Feather
Cap. Now, take the stairway. Get the rest of the treasure chests, and leave to
the overworld. Use a tent, and go inside the cave (up). Walk into the waterfall
and you will fall down into it. Collect the Dark Knight stuff and equip it. Grab
the armor, cure everyone, and get ready for a boss fight!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCTOMAMM
2300 HP, 500 gil, 1200 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This guy is pretty simple. The thing you should notice most about him is how
slow his attacks are when you finally defeat him compared to when the battle
starts. I guess he just wears down as battle goes on. Have Rydia and Tellah
attack with Bolt 1, although Rydia could use the Chocobo summon magic if you
wish, since it will actually do more damage than Bolt 1. However, Tellah's most
powerful attack is Bolt 1, so use it for now. Also, Tellah should be the healer
for this battle, as he has Cure magic. Cecil's attacks should do at least 115
HP per attack, so that alone will help out. As you wear him down, he will start
to lose legs. That is how you can tell if he is going to die or not. When
Tellah mentions something about the monster slowing down, just pound away on it
and it will die. The battle is not tough at all as long as you keep your HP up.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Leave and head to Damcyan Castle. Unequip Tellah when you get there. When you
get to the town, save and head in, but before you do, the Red Wings fly by and
attack it! Yikes!
===============================================================================
DAMCYAN CASTLE
===============================================================================
Items to be Found
Tent
Crossbow
Feather Hat
Ruby Ring
Ether 1
Life
Soft
Eyedrops
Antidote
Potion
Holy Arrows (x10) x2
Iron Arrows (x10) x2
===============================================================================
Grab the tent and head to the top of the castle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon entering the castle you will see the remains of the once beautiful castle
of Damcyan and also the downed guards. Once you have reached the center of the
castle you will see Tellah's only daughter Anna lying on the floor almost
dying. Tellah becomes enraged as he attacks the "Spoony Bard." You can't
control this battle and everything the Bard is trying to say Tellah ignores,
when Anna speaks Tellah comes to his senses and stops his attack against the
Bard. Here Anna explains what had happened, it appears that when Edward and
Anna was about to leave they were attacked by the Red Wings of Baron, also they
had taken the Crystal of Fire. Anna explains that Edward is the prince of
Damcyan and he was disguised as a Bard so that he can go to Kaipo and find
Anna. Anna saved Edward's life by shielding him from the arrows that were
brought upon by the Red Wings fleet. Afterwards Anna dies and Tellah is once
again enraged, he wishes to take vengence upon the one called Golbez, who led
the Red Wings' attack against Damcyan. Cecil says he can't go alone but Tellah
is too fustrated and angry to listen and he goes off on his own. Here Edward
cries over Anna's death and Rydia calls him a "Crybaby!" she tells him that he
is not the only one who has lost the ones he loved and tells him that he is a
grown man. Edward does not care and he wishes to stay with Anna, Cecil comes
over and literally knocks some sense into him. He tells Edward that Anna would
not like it if he was just to stay here and Cecil desprately needs Edward's
help. Edward wonders how he can help and Cecil tells him that he needs to find
the Sandruby to cure Rosa's fever. Edward tells him that he has a Hovercraft
and with it you can reach the cave of the Antlion. Before the party leaves out
of the castle, Edward comes and says the final goodbye before leaving to help
his new friends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow. That was damn cool stuff. Go out through the front entrance, then swing
around the side. Enter the side building, open the secret door, go through the
sercet passage, and go through the first wall in the second cell. Get the
Leather Hat and Crossbow, leave, move to the next cell, and get the Ruby Ring.
Now, exit, and take the stairs down. Grab the items in the six cheats (Ether 1,
Life, Soft, Eyedrops, Antidote, and Potion) and get the Arrows from 4 pots.
Now, go outside. Use the hovercraft to go northeast, through the shallow rocks.
Head to the cave below Mt. Hobs.

There are six tresure chests in the first room. On the left side, there is a
Cure 1 and 190 gil. To the right side, there is 210 gil and a Cure 1. On the
bottom left, there is a Tent and Cure 1. Collect all the treasure then head
down to the bottom right. Get the Life potion and go in the door to get Lamia
Harp. Equip it on Edward, as it doubles his attack power.
Head around, go up the door, and get the Heal Potion. Now go into the door,
and use the save point, and get the three treasure chests, which contain a Life
Potion, Ether 1, and Tent. Head into the left side of the room and get the 250
gil from the treasure chest. Head towards the center of the room and into the
Nest of the Antilon.

ANTILON

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This boss fight is damn easy. The main thing you have to worry about is the
Antilon's counter attack. It wil basically counter any physical attacks, so
don't use them much. Have Cecil do physical attacks, since he can take the
pain, Rydia could use her Chocobo summon magic, and Edward can heal and do
attacks, he can somewhat take them if you built him up enough. This boss is
pretty easy, just make sure to heal whenever possible, and he will die soon
enough.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Get out of here and head back to Kaipo.
===============================================================================
KAIPO
===============================================================================
Hand Rosa the Sand Ruby and she will recover.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She wakes up and tells you she followed you. Golbez is now the new captain of
the Red Wings, which means that the king has truly lost his damn mind. Golbez
already has the power of one crystal, and of course, he doesn't want to stop
there, so he will go after the other three next. Edward will say that he
already has the Fire Crystal of Damycan (hmm, I thought they gave him the Water
Crystal of Mysidia at the beginning of the game..) and so he must be going to
Fabul next. However, they cannot get to Fabul because the path to Fabul goes
through Mt. Hobs, and Mt. Hobs is being blocked by ice. Rosa asks Rydia if she
can cast Fire magic, but Rydoia can't. Rosa can, I guess, because she joins
your party.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the night, Edward will play his harp by the water, when a water hag
comes to attack him. Beat him up, as a ghost of Anna cheers him. This turns out
to be all a dream, so the game continues.. Put Rydia, Rosa, and Edward all in
the back row. Hop on the hovercraft and go to Mt. Hobs, which is near the
Antlion Den.

===============================================================================
Cecil - 19, Rydia - 16, Edward - 14, Rosa - 11
===============================================================================
After a lot of talking, Rydia will cast Fire, and will learn Fire 1. Take the
door on the left hand side (I love this music!), get the four treasure chests
(Tent, Cure 1, Heal, 350 Gold) and save your game at the save point. Now, head
to the right side of the mountain. Head to the Summit, and this is when you
meat Yang for the first time. Boss time!

MOMBOMB
3200 HP, 543 gil, 2415 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle can get to be pretty tough. The toughest part about this battle is
how the boss will change forms. It starts off the battle as the one Mombomb.
Have Rydia use the Chocobo summon magic, have Cecil use his normal attacks,
have Yang attack, Edward can heal or attack, and Rosa can use Aim. Soon enough,
the Mombomb will change form. So far, so good. Keep your party healed, because
sooner or later it will explode, which sauses 50 to 60 HP of damage to every
character, and then turn into 3 Bombs and 3 Grey Bombs. Have the same attack
pattern continue, but have Yang kick, and these bombs should be dead, although
I did have a bit of trouble with them, since I was not too well off on HP after
the Mombomb exploded on me like that.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After this battle, Yang is warned about Golbez. Keep on going down the
mountain. Exit and head to Fabul Castle.

Buy some stuff and check around the town for items. Go inside the left tower
and get the Thor's Rage from the pot. Talk to Yang's Wife then head back down.
In the right tower, you can get a Tent (king's bedroom) and a Bacchus (pot). Go
to the throne room. Rydia and Rosa will stay behind behind, Cecil, Yang, and
Edward till help protect the castle. Go through all the battles here. They're
not that tough, just use Edward as a healer and have Yang do Kick and Cecil do
normal attacks and you will do fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Afterwards the party makes their last retreat back to the Crystal Room. Here
Kain comes in and Cecil is shocked to see Kain alive. Here Kain wants to fight
Cecil and Cecil has no choice. Here you shouldn't bother trying to fight Kain
because he keeps using that JUMP attack and it will knock you out in a few
blows. Here afterwards Kain will try to put Cecil out of his misery and Rosa
comes in and tries to stop Kain, but Kain is somehwat startled and then Golbez
finally meets the party. Here, Golbez knocks out both Edward and Yang, and
commands Kain to take the Crystal of Air which Kain happily ablodges. Here
Golbez realizes that Rosa is important to Cecil and he kidnappes her and Kain
tells Cecil he had a narrow escape. Afterwards Rydia is helpless against Kain
and she performs the CURE magic towards the party and they are revived out of
their wounds. Here, Yang will help Cecil this time, but Cecil's spirit has
taken a hard punch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, head to the King's Chamber, and rest in the inn. Go talk to the King in
ther morning to get the boat, and the Death Sword from the King.
After doing everything, unequip everyone except Cecil, and head to the boat.
(Sorry I am not being more detailed about this storyline stuff, I am not used
to writing a walkthrough involving storyline elements. =). The boat is
northeast of Fabul Castle, you'll see it when you leave the town. The boat
takes the long route to Baron. The party wonders why, when a whirpool sucks
them in! The boat crashes, and Cecil wakes up.. alone. Go to Mysidia. Hoo boy.
I bet you're glad to be here, eh?

May I reccomend not talking to anyone. See, you stole their crystal, so you're
not exactly their best friend. Talk to the elder in the norhtern building. He
will tell you to go to Mt. Ordeals to become a Paladin. He offers you the duet
of Palom and Porom, who kick butt. Buy each twin a Magus Hat, Gaia Hear, and
Silver Arm. In terms of weapons, Palom should have a Flame Rod, while Porom
should have a Cure Staff. Buy all the Paladin stuff for Cecil.
Now, head out and head east until you get to Mt. Ordeals. I reccomend raising
levels before going there. Below Mt. Ordeals, there is a Chocobo Forest. Use
the Fat Chocobo to keep your items for you, while the White Chocobo will regain
your MP for you. The yellow chocobo is the classic one that you can use for
riding.

===============================================================================
SUGGESTED LEVELS: Cecil - 23, Palom - 13, Porom - 13
===============================================================================
Make sure you enter this place with Paladin Armor. Now, head up, and find
Tellah. He will rejoin you. Put Cecil in the front row, the other three in the
back. Now, head up the cliff, fighting enemies along the way. You will have to
use Palom and Porom a lot. Don't worry about gaining levels for Cecil here.
When you get to the top, save your game, go upi and left across the bridge to
fight the boss.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MILON AND 4 GHASTS
Milon: 3500 HP, 2000 gil, 3200 experience
Ghasts: 200 HP each, 100 gil, 50 experience each
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kill off the 4 Ghasts first. Using Fire 3 or Cure magic on them should kill
them. Have Cecil focus on the Milon, even if the Ghasts aren't dead. When the
Ghasts have died, have Palom and Porom do twin magic, while Tellah does Fire 2
or Fire 3. Cecil should attack normally throughout the fight. Milon will do
bolt spells a lot, so make sure Porom heals the party after he does the Bolt
spell. This guy really should not be that tough at all.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Now, go back and save, and go back to the bridge, go across and you will be
attacked again!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MILON ZOMBIE
3523 HP, 2500 gil, 3600 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will notice about this battle the fact that Milon Zombie attacks you from
behind, which means that you will have your back row characters in front, and
your front row characters in back. There are two simple ways to combat that.
One, before you go into battle, make sure Cecil is in the back row, and the
other 3 are in the front row. That way, when the battle begins, Cecil will be
in the front row, and the other 3 will be in the back row. Or, when the battle
begins, have your first character do Row. Now, to the battle itself. Have
Tellah cast Fire magic every around, and Palom do Fire 2. If he does not have
Fire 2, then have Porom and Palom do twin magic every round. Cure as needed.
Milon Zombie has a nasty poison attack, either let it ride out or have Tellah
cast Esuna.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You do not have to go back and save, since this next boss fight is almost
impossible to lose. (even though I lost it, heh)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

DARK KNIGHT
100,000 HP, 0 gil, 0 experience

Parry for 3 rounds and it's over. Whoo hoo.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, the cool music plays and Cecil has become a Paladin! Oh, what
now! You will notice that he is quite a bit stronger, despite the fact he is
Level 1. Anyways, the light will speak, and call him son. Why is the light
calling him son? Tellah becomes the center of attention and learns Meteo, as
well as the rest of his spells. Cool.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now then, I stayed up here until Cecil got to Level 20. It's not as bad as it
sounds. You don't have to get that high, but I did, and it made the next place
easier. Make sure to equip that Paladin stuff, though. When you are at a high
enough level, head out, go to the chocobo forest, heal using the white one, use
the yellow one to go back to Mysidia.

First thing you will notice is that a lot of tough enemies in here. I advise
using the Bolt spell a lot, and then raising Levels until you are good to go.
You can always heal back at the Inn if you have to.
B4F: When you are finally ready to go, go down, and when you see a split in the
path, go down, and right, and take the three treasure chests (Hi Potion, Ether
1, Thor's Rage), then go right, and up, and left, then up, and follow the path
until you get to the next room.
B3F: Well, this is fun. Go into the water, and head down, through the secret
passage, and get the Hr Glass 1. Go down again, and go through the sercet
passage to get the Silk Web. Go down, then when you get to the bottom, go
right, and follow until you get out. Go up, and go left when you see the water
on the left hand side. Go into the middle platform here to get the Hermes, go
back right, and then follow the path up.
B2F: Go through here, go up the stairs, go left through the passage to get the
Ether 1, then go out and up.
B1FG: Before you save your game in the room, find the sercet passage and go
through it to get the Ancient Sword. Now, go back and save. Go out, and go
right, then up, through the door. Remember this place?

Baigan, and you will fight him.

Left Arm: 444 HP, 0 gil, 10 experience
Right Arm: 444 HP, 0 gil, 10 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This boss is pretty easy, all things considering. Just make sure to focus on
the body. The arms are good to hit and all, but they just keep on regenerating,
so why bother? If you have Tellah cast a powerful spell on the body, it will
cast Wall. I just had everyone attack the center, and healed when neccessary,
and he died soon enough. Not that bad.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Go back and heal in the bed. Now go to the right side of the castle. Press the
wall switch to get the two Unihorns, two Ether 1's, and two Lifes. Go to the
northeast tower, and get the two Hermes and two Bacchus. In the basement, get
the Elixir. On the third floor, get the two Tents and the Ether 1. Get the
other Ether 1 in the pot. Now, go back and into the throne room.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAGNAZZO
5312 HP, 4000 gil, 5500 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lightning. I cannot stress this enough, but this guy is really weak against
Bolt magic. Equip Yang with the Bolt Claw, and have him do Power, that will
take off some huge damage. Tellah and Palom should do either Bolt 2 or Bolt 3
each around, while Polom cures, especially after Cagnazzo does his one big
attack, the Big Wave. However, as long as you do Bolt magic, it will break his
barrier, so don't worry about it. When he goes into his shell, just use that
time for curing and stuff. He ain't that bad, trust me.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here after the battle Cid comes in, and the party introduces themselves to
Cid. Now the party must hurry to retrieve the airship. But before they can do
so Cagnazzo has already set a trap, the doors are locked and the walls are
caving in. Here the twins turn themselves into Stone and stop the wall from
caving in. Tellah tries to break the spell but to no avail, the twins
willingly let their lives go to save the rest of the party. Tellah was the
one who wanted to go first, but Cid re-groups the party.
Meanwhile...In the Tower of Zot, Kain plans up a plot to capture the last
crystal, they will exchange Rosa for the crystal, and Kain will be the
messenger, Rosa tries to stop Kain, but Kain is too much under the influnce
of Golbez's powerful mind control. Meanwhile back at the castle of Baron...
Cid unlocks the hidden entrance to his airship and the Enterprise flies off,
then suddenly the Red Wings come but they do not wish to fight this time.
Kain delivers a message to Cecil, about trading in Rosa for the Crystal of
Earth in Toroia. Now land your airship infront of Baron and return to the
King's chambers in the basement below, remember the place with the mysterious
force? Its gone now so enter it and the real King of Baron wishes to tell you
something. He tells you to go to the Land of Summoned Monsters and return
back after your trip, then he leaves.

OVERWORLD AROUND TROIA

Enemies to be Fought: Cannibal, Panther, Python, Sting Rat, Treant
===============================================================================
This is a very interesting part of the game, and this is one of the few times
where I will include the overworld. Basically, you should level up here. If you
are not on Level 25 for Cecil, get there. But the enemies around here are tough.
Treants are Trees and usually come 2, along with 3 Sting rats. Have Yang Kick
here, but be careful, because it probably won't kill the Sting Rats, and they
will proceed to do Needle 3 times. Needle hurts, and is a powerful
counterattack.
If you see a Panther, KILL IT. First. because I died twice when i was gaining
levels, their damn Bluster Attack kills a character instantly, and it's not
like I had many guys alive to begin with. I had to raise levels fore a lot
longer than I wanted because I had to start over. Anyways, buy non metallic
weapons for all your characters, and then head into the Castle.

Items To Be Found:

There are three chocobos here. White ones let you regain your lost MP (it's
basically a free inn, as you can use Cure magic to regain your HP, then the
white chocobo to regain lost MP). A Fat Chocobo is in the northern part of this
area, use a Gysahl to summon it, it will let you store items. Now, take a black
chocobo, and go east across the water, land it in the forest, save
(reccomended), and then go inside the cave.

===============================================================================
You can work this one of two ways. One, you can be smart and use non metallic
weapons to work your way through the cave. Two, you can be a dumbass like me,
and just go through the cave without any weapons or armor, running from every
battle. If you choose the first route, Usew Fire 3 to kill Bats, and the Power
attack and Holy Arrows to kill Ogres. Just hack away on Mages.
B1F: Walk right, and get the Hi Potion from the treasure chest. Go back left,
and head down. Keep going along the path, and get the treasure chest along the
way. Go into the door.
B2F: Go up, and whne you get to the bridge, go in the door, and you will be in
a room with 2 chests. Get the chests, go out, and go left.
B3F: Go left, into the door, and save your game. Go out, and right, and down.
Go into the room and get the three chests. Exit, go left, keep on going until
you get to the next door. Get the Fairy Claw for Yang, go left, and go down
through the door.
B4F: Keep on going up the bridge, and head right when you can to the save
point. Then go back, and up. Get the chest, then go into the Crystal Room.

DARK ELF
23890 HP, 1000 experience, 4000 gil
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first fight, do nothing. Just don't waste your power doing anything,
because he will kill you. Then Edward plays his harp, and the control is
broken. In the second battle, have Tellah cast Wall on every member he can,
Have everyone attack normally, while Yang does power. Use Diet Food when he
casts Pig on you, that's the most annoying attack he does.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DARK DRAGON
3927 HP, 6000 experience, 5000 gil
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This guy is pretty tough. Have Cecil attack, Yang power, Tellah use Level 3
spells or Cure 3 when the enemy does its Breath attack, and that should do it.
I died twice, but if you are on Level 30, you should have no problem beating
him.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Afterwards the DARK ELF dies, so take the Crystal of Earth and return to
Toroia. To make a short cut have Tellah use his WARP magic(or use the Exit
item you found earlier) once he is outside the Crystal Room. Now head back to
the center of the Castle of Toroia where the Clerics are. Inside the Clerics
greet you, then suddenly Kain tells you to take the Crystal to his airship
and he will show him where Rosa is. Beofre you leave go to the room where the
lady was guarding the treasure earlier, now the treasure of Toroia is now
yours!
Now head back to Edward's room, and a short scenario will take place, Tellah
now respects Edward and will avenge Anna's death and also avenge Edward's
injury. Now leave Toroia and head for your airship and make sure you save
your game before you enter you airship.

1F: When you can finally move, head to the upper left hand corner and get the
Flame Armor, and equip it on Cecil. Now, move directly right, in the northeast
corner you will find the door to 2F.
2F: Go down, and make the first left you can make. Keep going until you can go
down (there will be an opening in the wall), and do so. Head right, then down
when you can. Head left, and then follow the path up. Head right when you can,
and go up. About halfway up, on the left hand side, open the chest. Defeat the
enemies to get the Flame Sword. Equip it on Cecil. Now, move back down, left,
and up to go through the door.
3F: Basically, just follow the path. There are two paths you can take, and both
lead you to 4F.
4F: Go down, then right, then go up when you can. Take the first door to your
left. Go in, head right, and get the Hell Claw. Yang can equip this. Go all the
way down and get the Flame Shield. Put it on Cecil. Now, go back up through the
door. Go down, right, and go up through the next door. Grab the Gaia Hammer
from the chest. Cid can use this. Now, go back out, go down, and head right,
and up through the next door. Get the chest (Wizard Robe) and head back out.
Equip Rydia with the Wizard Robe. Now, go down until the bottom, and head
right, and go through that door.
5F: Go down, left, and go through the door. Use a tent and save. Go back out,
left, and up, and engage in the first of two boss fights.

MAGUS SISTERS x3
Sandy: 2591 HP, 3000 gil, 2500 experience
Cindy: 4599 HP, 3000 gil, 2500 experience
Mindy: 2590 HP, 3000 gil, 2500 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This boss fight is really easy if you know how to handle it. Kill off the
middle sister (Cindy) first, since it can heal people. It casts Wall, so don't
use magic. Instead, use physical attacks. Once she is dead, kill the one in
front (Mindy). Once she succumbs, take out the final sister. Easy enough, just
make sure you heal when you have to (I didn't even have to), and the battle is
yours.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Now, go back, and rest/save. Remove all items from Tellah, and go back up
through where you fought the Magus Sisters. Watch the scene, Tellah leaves your
party, but Kain and Rosa join. Equip them, then leave the room, and Valvalis,
the third element, will attack!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALVALIS
8636 HP, 5500 gil, 9000 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot stress how important patience is in this battle. Do not just hit the
attack button when it is your turn to attack. Valvalis will turn herself into a
tornado, and when she does, she will counterattack you with a powerful wind
attack which leaves all party members with single digit HP's. To get her out of
this state, have Kain jump her. When she is normal, have Cecil and Cid attack,
Rosa heal, Kain jump, and Yang use power. This battle wasn't bad, as long as
you remember to keep healed, at all times.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After this battle, Rosa will teleport you out of here to Castle Baron. Remember
this room from the beginning of the game? Anyways, Kain will hand over the
Magma. Now where can you use it? Before leaving here, by the way, go down to
the basement of the northeast tower, where the king will tell you to return
later.
Now, head back to the airship. Fly south of Baron until you get to Agart. Land,
go inside, go into the well in the center of town, and drop the Magma in it. Go
out, go in the aircraft, fly over the crater, and press X. Watch the scene and
you will land in Dwarven Castle.

Items To Be Found:

Bosses: 3 Cal/3 Brina, Calbrina, Golbez/Shadow
===============================================================================
SUGGESTED LEVELS: Cecil - 34, Rosa - 33, Kain - 36, Yang - 35
===============================================================================
Go north, watch the scene, and fight the 3 bosses. Whoo hoo.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 CAL, 3 BRINA
Cal: 1369 HP each, 500 gil each, 1000 experience each
Brina: 369 HP each, 500 gil each, 1000 experience each
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have Cecil and Kain take out the Brinas in front while Kain uses Jump and Yang
uses Powers to take out the Cals in back. Take out as many as you can, as you
gain more experience this way. Have Rosa heal everyone when there is only 1 or
2 enemies left.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALBRINA
5315 HP, 5000 gil, 12000 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see why this boss is such a big deal. All I did was have Kain Jump,
Yang use Power, Rosa use Aim, and Cecil attack normally, and the doll died
before I knew it.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOLBEZ/SHADOW
???? HP, 11,000 gil, 15000 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Golbez casts Hold Gas on the entire party, then summons Shadow, who pretty much
kills everyone. Bring everyone back to life once the battle starts. This battle
is easy since Rydia returns. Have her do Titan, and have Cecil attack, while
Kain jumps. Rosa can heal and cure as neccessary, while Yang does Power, and
this boss will die before you know it. Just make sure to take out your
frustrations on Golbez.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Afterwards, watch the scene, where basically Golbez's hand will steal the
crystal. The King wants you to take back the crystals from the Tower of Babil.
Notice how the weapon and armor shops are now open, so buy some weapons. Here
is what you should buy for each character.
Cecil: Nothing.
Rosa: Rune Ring, Wizard Helm
Kain: Flame Harpoon, Fire Armor, Fire Shield
Rydia: Rune Ring, Wizard Helm
Yang: Rune Ring
You can go between the two shops to get to the Developers Room. Head up the
stairs in the weapon and armor shops room. On 3F, get the Dwarf Axe. On 4F, get
the Bacchus from the secret passage. On 5F, get a Strength Glove, Elixir, Ether
1, and Hr Glass 2.
Go to the left side of the castle now, by the Inn and items shop. Search the
pot to get 5000 gil. Head upstairs. Get the Bacchus from the secret passage. On
5F, get the Elixir, Hi Potion, Black Belt, and Ether 1.
Go down the stairs in the Inn room now. Talk to the guard and he will open a
secret passage. Move to the right and search the pots to get 3 Gyshals. Go up
the stairs to summon the Fat Chocobo. Now enter the secret passage. Move
through this place. Drink from the Water of Life to restore HP and MP.
Head outside here, and level up. Get Cecil to AT LEAST Level 35, then head up,
until you get to the Tower of Babil. Save, then go inside.

He will automatically poison everyone, and will keep on poisoning you if you

while Kain jumps, Yang Power attacks using the Bolt Claw. Have Rydia cast Bolt
2, and have Rosa chip in with aiming with Bolt arrows when she can.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After the battle, get the Tower Key, go back and save, go back down to 5F and
go in the center room. Remove everything from Yang, kill the Dark Imps, and
head back to the first floor. Watch all the scenes, and you will be back in the
overworld. Go to Baron Castle, and go to the east side of the courtyard, and
talk to Cid's assistants to get a attachment for the hovercraft. Fly back to

ASURA
31005 HP, 0 gil, 20,000 experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cast Wall on Asura to start, so all her recovery spells that she casts on
herself will bounce off her and go onto you. Attack her with powerful attacks,
summons, etc. Regular attacks would work just fine, but you know. JUmp with
Kain, have Cecil do regular attacks, Rosa use Aim, Rydia summon Titan, and Edge
attack. No magic should be used on her, because you casted Wall on her,
remember?

LEVIATAN

Make sure no one is wearing Ice Armor. Now then, have everyone equipped with
bolt weapons, have Rydia cast Bolt 3, Edge should Blitz, and Rosa should heal
or Aim with Bolt arrows. Leviatan does the majorly awesome attack called Big
Wave, which causes a lot of damage to every character. Just have Rosa heal, and
attack as normal, and you are good to go.

Don't forget to cast Float on yourself every level.
Enter, and go right and get the 2 chests. Go down, and left, then down through
the door. Go straight down, and go through the door. Go right, and save your
game. Go up to the top here, and go right through the secret passage. Go up and
nab the chest. Now, head out, go back to the save point, and save again if you
wish. You will probably fight a lot of Tiny Toads and Toad Ladies around here,
the trick is to let them cast Toad on you twice, so you won't be affected.
>From the save point, go left, then up, and get the 2 chests. Now, go down and

up to get the chest, then go down, and over and up, and go into the house. Look
in the secrets section to see what to do here.
