• Okay, I give up. I created two parts for this FAQ. It was just too much
of a hassle to type up some walkthrough, then scroll down to the Shops
section and add some info there, then scroll wayyy down to the bottom
of the document to update the Mognet Letters section or ATEs section,
and so on, so I decided to split the guide up into two parts. One
focusing on the main things you want to know while playing the game
(walkthrough, shops info., status effects), while the second part
contains "everything else" that is not necessary to beat the game,
but is very good to know (items/weapons/armor, abilities, 'extras' like
Mognet Letters, ATEs, Mini-Games, and Moogle Locations).

"Here" Icon: This icon is in the shape of a hand (in a white glove), and will
guide your character on the Field Screen. This helps to show
the position of your character on the Field Screen. This feature
can be manually shut on or off on the Configure Menu.
Saving your game: There are two ways that you can save your game in Final
Fantasy IX: Either save your game on the World Map anytime
by summoning a Moogle, or locating a Moogle on the Field
Map. Moogles are those tiny, cat-like animals that are
usually in key-areas in the game, where it's a good idea
to save your game before moving on. When you talk to the
Moogle, you have a few choices on what to do:
Save: Saves your game.
Tent: Allows you to heal the HP and MP of your current
party, if you have a Tent item.
Mognet: Allows Moogles to communicate, and will let
your character deliver letters between
Moogles.
Cancel: Lets you leave the Moogle.
"!" Icon: This icon appears above an area where there is an Item that can be
picked up on the Field Screen. If you happen to come across an
important item, a "!" will pop-up, indicating there is an item at
that spot. This is awesome, because it makes finding extra stuff
like Gil and healing items easier to find than in previous games.
ATB (Active Time Battle): Time during battle is managed by the ATB system.
There are 2 ATB modes: Active and Wait. You can
select them in the Configure Menu:
-ATB Mode-
Active Always real-time (time never stops during
battle).
Wait Time stops while you are selecting Magic and
items.
Wait is better suited for beginners (novices), while
Active is more for advanced players.
Damage Points: Numbers and details pop up during battle whenever your HP and
MP change. Numbers appear in 2 different colors:
-Damage Points-
9999 HP Change:
White numbers indicate damage.
Green numbers indicate HP recovery.
9999 MP Change:
White numbers indicate loss.
Green numbers indicate MP recovery.
-Damage Details-
Miss When an attack misses.
Critical When you deal greater damage than usual.
Death When you get KO'd.
Guard When status attacks and elemental attacks have no
effect.
Order Option: The Order Option involves not only the lineup but also the battle
position. There are 2 battle positions: Front row and back row.
-Front Row and Back Row-
Front Row You can deal big damage with Attack, but you can also
receive big damage.
Back Row You can only deal small damage with Attack, but you
receive less damage from attacks.
You can change this setting in the Option (Config Menu). You can
also switch between the front and back row during battle, by
selecting Change. If you use magic or long-range weapons, you
can deal just as much damage from the back row as you can from
the front row. In tough battles, adjusting battle posistions
appropriately might save your life.
Trance: When Trance occurs, the character transforms. Your power increases
while under Trance. In addition to greater attacking power, you
receive new battle commands. It's really amazing how much you can
change. Some facts about Trance:
-About Trance-
1. The Trance Gauge increases as you take hits from the enemy.
2. The Trance Gauge does not increase if you get hit by other party
members.
3. If you get afflicted by Zombie, the Trance Gauge goes down
completely.
4. When the Trance Gauge fills up completely, it's party time!
-Conditions that Stop/Prevent Trance-
1. End of a battle: Trance Gauge goes back down to zero.
2. During battle: Trance Gauge decreases to zero as you take actions
during battle.
The origin of Trance is hostility. The hostile energy of the enemy's
attacks induces Trance. That's why being attacked by your allies
can't cause Trance. There is also an ability that help you achieve
Trance faster. The Trance Gauge appears both in battle and in the
Status Menu, which is under the Main Menu. Unfortunately, not everyone
can achieve Trance.
Abilities: Abilities are special powers that all characters possess. Using them
wisely is the key to victory. There are tons of different abilites,
but gererally, they fall into 2 categories:
-Types of Abilites-
Action Abilites:
Magic and special moves you can use in battle; consume MP.
Support Abilities:
Special abilities that support you in battle (must equip magic
stones to use them).
You need MP to use magic and special moves. Maximum MP increases
as you level up. Support abilities must be equipped with magic
stones to be functional. Like MP, the maximum number of these
stones increases as you level up. The Main Menu shows 2 numbers
for magic stones: the remaining number and the maximum number.
-Magic Stones-
Remaining Number (Decreases as you Equip Support Abilites.)
|
@99/99
|
Maximum number (Increases as you level up.)
To set magic stones on support abilities, select Ability in the
Main Menu and select Equip. There are round slots next to each
support ability. The ability is equipped if a magic stone appears
inside the slot. The menu shows which support abilities have bee
equipped.
-Ability Status-
Shaded "O" Ability Name: Not Equipped.
Blue "0" Ability Name: Equipped.
In general, you have to equip items to learn abilities. Most items
hold special powers that help draw out your inborn abilities. You
could say the items work to free your latent abilities. Select
Equip in the Main Menu to check which abilities you can learn from
items. The abilities you cannot learn are grayed out.
-Which Abilities Can Be Learned?-
Red "0"-A (Ability Name): Ability that can be learned.
Blue "0"-S (Ability Name): Ability that can be learned.
Gray "0"-A (Ability Name): Ability that cannot be learned.
Gray "0"-S (Ability Name): Ability that cannot be learned.
Abilities can be used as soon as you equip them. However, they
cannot be used once you remove the item. To use abilities without
equipping items, you must learn them by gaining enough AP for
each ability. You can gain AP through battle.
-AP Gauge-
____________
Red "0"-A (Ability Name): |_______*_*_*|
____________
Blue "0"-S (Ability Name): |_______*_*_*|
The character has gained enough AP to use the ability
without equipping an item.
____________
Red "0"-A (Ability Name): |__50/100____|
____________
Blue "0"-S (Ability Name): |__50/100____|
The character must equip the item to use the ability until
more AP is gained.
Press "X" in the Status Menu to view all the learned abilities.
Each ability requires different amounts of AP to learn.
Character Stats: The character stats are displayed in the Battle Menu, and
show specific strengths/weaknesses of your characters
(party members). Here are what they mean:
Speed- Speed determines how fast the character's ATB Guage fills up (the
higher the value, the faster the character can act).
Strength- Strength determines the severity of a physical attack.
Magic- Magic determines the amount of damage caused by magic and summon
attacks.
Spirit- Spirit affects the character's attack and defense. Higher values
enhance your ability to Steal, Counter, and deal critical damage.
Also, the character's Spirit determines how long status effects
remain and how quickly the Trance Gauge fills.
Attack- Attack determines the amount of damage the character deals using
physical attacks.
Defense- Defense reduces the amount of damage the character receives from
physical attacks.
Evade- Evade determines the character's ability to dodge physical attacks.
Magic Defense- Magic Defense reduces the amount of damage the character
receives from magic attacks.
Magic Evade- Magic Evade determines the character's ability to dodge magic
attacks.
Synthesizing: In addition to regular shops where you can buy and sell items,
there are synthesis shops, where you can synthesize items to
create new items. All you need are 2 items to serve as the base
and a few Gil to cover labor. The items you need and the amount
of money you pay vary for each synthesized item.
- Synthesis Example-
The Ogre
(Required item 1) Mage Master
(Required item 2) Mage Master
(Cost) 700 Gil
Desert Boots
(Required item 1) Leather Hat
(Required item 2) Leather Shirt
(Cost) 300 Gil
Long ago, there were rumors saying there's a Legendary Synthesist
who can create the best items...
Elemental Properties: There are a total of 8 Elemental Properties: Fire, Ice,
Thunder, Earth, Water, Wind, Holy, and Shadow. Applying
these Elemental Properties to your attacks and defense
makes battles a lot easier. But your enemies can take
advantage of them as well, so watch out. To apply them,
you'll have to understand their natures.
-Elemental Properties-
Fire Effective against ice and undead monsters.
Ice Effective against insects, large enemies, and
fire and dragon-type monsters.
Thunder Effective against enemies near water.
Earth Ineffective against flying monsters.
Water Effective against fire monsters.
Wind Effective against flying monsters.
Holy Effective against shadow monsters.
Shadow Effective against holy monsters.
There is also a Non-elemental Property, which is not
affected by any elemental property.
Tetra Master Card Game: Tetra Master is a game played world-wide, but the only
way to see if someone plays is to challenge them. Tetra
Masters never back down from a Challenge. To challenge
people, walk up to them and press SQUARE.
-Tetra Master Rules 1-
Select 5 cards in your possession to play.
-Tetra Master Rules 2-
1. Put down a card by your opponet's card.
2. If an arrow on your card points to your opponet's
card, you can win his/her card.
-Tetra Master Rules 3-
If an arrow on your card faces the arrow on your
opponet's card, a card battle begins. If your card
wins the card battle, you win the opponet's card. If
your card loses the card battle, the opponent wins
your card.
-Tetra Master Rules 4-
If you have to battle 2 or more cards, you can choose
the opponent's card that you want to battle.
-Tetra Master Rules 5-
The game ends once all the cards are played, and the
person with the most cards is the winner.
===============================================================================
001: Status Effects:
===============================================================================
Status Effects: Status effects occur during battle when a certain spell or
an item, or even an attack. These status effects change
the "status" of a party member, or even the entire party
itself.
Harmful Status Effects:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Confuse
CANCELLATION METHOD: Ensuna, physical attack.
EFFECT: Target cannot be controlled and randomly attacks enemies
or allies.
NAME: Berserk
CANCELLATION METHOD: Gysahl Greens.
EFFECT: Target's attack power increases, but they cannot be
controlled and attack enemies continuously.
NAME: Stop
CANCELLATION METHOD: Dispel. Remedy.
EFFECT: Target stops and cannot be controlled.
Here is the walkthrough for Final Fantasy IX. If you need to find somethin'
fast without searching through this entire section, just head up to the
Table of Contents, find the semi-section in the walkthrough, find what number
it is, then hit "Ctrl + F" on your keyboard, and enter the number of the
section you are looking for, and ka-ching! You've found your section.
EXAMPLE: Let's say you want to find "Disc 04 Walkthrough" section in the
walkthrough. The number for this section is "005", as seen in the
Table of Contents at the top of this document. So, all you have to
do is press "Ctrl + F", then enter "005" into the box on what to
find, and there ya go!
You will begin the game by watching a spectacular (yet somewhat short) FMV.
Once it all ends, you take control of Zidane Tribal, in a dark place. You'll
be carrying around a candle, and your objective is to light the bigger
candle in the center of the room. But before doing so, check the northwest
corner of the room to find 47 Gil. Now search the area across from it (the
northeast corner), to find a Potion! Check below where you got the Potion to
see a sign that reads:
= M.S. Prima Vista, Theater Ship =
Class: Luxery liner with theater
Tonnage: 8235 tonnes
Guest Capacity: 288
Propulsion: Veil energy
Shipwright: Zebolt Shipyards
Port of Registry: Lindbulm
Now head to the center of the room and light the candle. A large "thing" will
enter the room, and you'll begin a mini-boss fight. This fight is really
easy, since it's basically a tutorial fight. Before killing off the guy,
though, steal all of his items, which include Mage Master and Potion.
After the fight, watch the cut-scenes.
You'll begin this segment of the game as Vivi. After the little girl helps
you out, you will take control of him. Search to your left to find a Potion,
then enter the house to the right. Inside, speak with Grandma, then search
the bed to find grandma's savings of 9 Gil. Now search to the right of the
ladder to find a Potion, then climb the ladder. Up here, you'll find a
Fang Card, then leave the house. Back out here, head north, and you'll find
a Potion to the northwest part of the street, and continue north, to where
all of the little kids are running to. Once in this part of town, enter
the Tavern, and search the southwest part of the room to find a Flan Card,
then 27 Gil on the floor near a table. Check the southeast portion of the
tavern to find a Potion, and speak to everyone here while you're at it.
Exit the Tavern, and check the grass across from it to find the Goblin
Card. Continue into the next part of town (follow the kids), and enter
the Shop here. Search it to find 38 Gil on the floor, then speak to
the shop owner if you'd like:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Leave the shop, and continue north into the Square, and check out the center
ticketbooth, and show the ticketmaster your ticket, and he'll tell you it's
a fake, and he'll give you these to cheer you up: Goblin Card, Fang Card, and
the Skeleton Card. Check out the sign north of the ticketbooth to see that
it reads:
= The Three Heroic Knights of Pluto =
This statue was built to commermorate the three knights who fought bravely
in the 15th Lindblum War, in 1601.
Now enter the house to the right of this sign, and search the floor to find
some Ether. Enter the second room of this shop/house, and read the sign near
the guy looking for swords:
= Recuiting New Knights of Pluto Members =
We are always looking for recuits
for the Knights of Pluto in Alexandria Castle!
Come, all you brave young men!
Let us protect the queen, and our
beautiful country, together!
Captain, Knights of Pluto
Exit this shop, and head into the alleyway to the west, near the jumproping
girls. By the way, you can jump-rope with them if you wish, as a small
mini-game. In the alleyway, watch the little mis-hap, then you will
encounter Rat Kid. Speak to him, and tell him your ticket was a fake. He'll
then offer to let you see the show if you become his slave. Agree, then
watch out for him. Say the coast is clear, and he'll steal the ladder.
He runs off, but after he does, Alleyway Jack comes. Speak to him to
return to the Tavern, and to learn the card game. When you are finished,
return to the alleyway, and head the way the Rat Kid run off earlier with
the ladder.
Continue to follow him into the next area, and try to climb the ladder.
As you do, a moogle named Kupo falls down on you. Climb up the ladder
when told to, then follow Rat Kid along the roof-tops. Along the way,
he'll ask you your name, so name Vivi. After the road across the roofs
is over, you'll both enter the castle to watch the play. Enjoy the
awesome cut-scenes. ^_^
After it all ends, you'll pick up play as Zidane and the others in a
fight on stage. You can't steal, so just take out the two outer goons
first, then attack King Leo in the center. After enough damage, he'll
retreat. Watch some more cut-scenes, until you engage in a swordfight
with someone (Blank) near the audience. He'll give you random commands
(like Square, or Up), and you'll need to follow them as accurately
as possible. The more accurate you do them, the more audience members
(out of 100, plus the Queen herself) will be pleased and impressed
with your performance. The higher the number of audience members impressed
and the Queen, the more Gil they will shower you with. The highest I've
gotten was: 97/100 members impressed, plus the Queen was quite impressed,
and they showered me with 873 Gil.
You'll regain control of Zidane in the Castle after the play has ended. Climb
the stairs, and watch the cut-scene as the Princess runs away. After all
of the cut-scenes have ended, you'll take control of Steiner, the soldier.
Head north of the stairway, and enter the balcony. Speak to the soldiers,
then head downstairs, then run right of the screen to enter the library.
Check out the bookshelf which reads:
§ Ice Cavern, Alexandria §
A natural cavern overrun
with everlasting ice.
Exit the library, then enter the room to the right of the stairs, and into
the next library, and check out the northern bookshelf which reads:
§ Village of Dali, Alexandria §
A farming village near
the Lindbulm border.
Return to where you began as Steiner, and head through the door that is
across from the stairway, and into the dressing room of the Knights. Tell
the two Knights to get going, then save your game with the Moogle in here.
Now check out the list near the door that reads:
Knights of Pluto Register
I. Captain Steiner (or whatever you named Steiner)
II. Blutzen
III. Kohel
IV. Laudo
V. Dojebon
VI. Breireicht
VII. Weimar
VIII. Haagen
IX. Mullenkedheim
Sorta ironic who it only lists "IX" soldiers eh? ;) Return to the Queen on
the outer balcony, and get the Silk Shirt from her. Re-enter the castle,
and go downstairs to the room that leads to the library, but instead of
heading left or right, run TOWARDS the screen, and exit the castle. Run
forward, and speak to the knights here, then head south and speak to the
knight near the water. Tell him to go search for the princess, then
head west of the fountains to find two conversating Knights. Speak to
them, then enter the castle here, and run up the stairs, past the guard,
and onto the balcony.
Watch the funny FMV, then you'll take over as Zigane. Follow the Princess,
speak to her in the next room, then follow her again down the stairs. Watch
the cut-scenes, then once you are in the lower-part of the ship, enter
the door near the Princess to meet up with Steiner, and engage in battle
with him. Begin by stealing his Leather Hat, and Silk Shirt. Now just
beat him down until the fight ends. Continue to watch the cut-scenes, and
fight Steiner once more. After it all ends, you'll end up crashed-up in
a forest, and the Princess is missing. It's up to you to find her.
Watch the A.T.E. that the Moogle points out to you to see both Vivi and the
Princess somewhere else in the forest. Save your game with the Moogle, then
check near the ship to find a Phoenix Down. Now run south of the Moogle, and
enter the Evil Forest.
Enter the forest, and head east to the next screen to find Vivi, and a monster
who has taken the Princess hostage. You'll begin a fight with the Prison Cage
enemy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRISON CAGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mini-boss battle isn't too hard, but it's up to you to keep the Princess
alive by healing her every so often with a Potion. Why? Because the Prison
Cage holds her hostage, and it'll use Absorb, which takes HP from her, and
uses it to heal itself. Try to heal her whenever her HP drops below 20 HP.
After enough damage, the Prison Cage will run away, taking the Princess
with it.
Watch the cut-scene, then fight another Prison Cage that holds Vivi hostage.
Use the same tactics as before, but this time, you shouldn't have to heal
Vivi, since he'll cast Fire on the Prison Cage, which will make this fight
a snap. The Prison Cage will poison Vivi and Steiner before it dies, and
you'll end up back in the Ship. When you regain control of Zidane, check
out the hidden chest near the globe for some Bronze Gloves. Now head south
of the Globe to activate a few A.T.E's:
The Escape: Steiner is trapped in a room (still), and he wishes to escape. He
tries to think of a way to get out, but alas, it doesn't work.
He still doesn't feel too good, so he sits down. As he does this,
he finds a ragged doll that says 'Princess Garnet, age 15', and
he freaks out, saying how could someone put her name on such a
ragged doll, and that the Princess is 16, not 15.
The Girl Who was Left Behind: This one shows a girl by the name of Ruby, who
is all alone way back at the Tavern in Alexandria.
She's wondering where "everybuddy" went, and she
doesn't know what to do now that nobody is around.
My Little Baby: This one shows Cinna outside of the crashed ship, and he's
looking for something. He curses a few times, and keeps looking
for his Garnet doll. He wonders how in the world he's supposed
to sleep now, and thinks that it probably caught fire in the
crash.
After watching these ATEs, you'll take control of Zidane once more. Run down
the stairs, and talk to the two people down here to learn about Vivi, and
the Evil Forest. Before checking up on Vivi, search the chest to the left
of the stairs to find a Wrist. Now run right, and enter the door, and into
the room where Vivi is sleeping. In here, check the chest near the door
for some Ether, then speak with Vivi. Now climb the ladder of the bunk-bed,
and you'll find 116 Gil at the top! Leave the room.
Out here, watch the short flashback, then choose to save the Princess. Speak
with the person in red, then head through the door behind him/her. In here,
search the chest to find some more Ether, then head down the stairs, and
into the room with the 2 people. Search the northwest part of the room to
find a Rubber Helm. Now enter the eastern door to speak with Baku, the
boss. After speaking with him, search the chest to find a Potion, then
go back the way Baku left. Ignore him momentarily, then head south and
into the next room. Go right and search the chest for a Leather Hat, then
return to Baku, and fight him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BAKU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is another mini-boss fight, and it isn't all that hard. Start off by
stealing an item from him (I got a Hi-Potion), then go off and begin to
actually attack him. Every few of his turns he'll trip, and give you an
extra attack. You shouldn't have to heal yourself in this fight, since
it's so easy.
After the fight, speak with the people around you, then head back up the
stairs, and enter the chamber where Steiner is. Talk to him, and after
you exit the room, re-enter it, and search the chest for an Ether. Now
head back to the room where Vivi lies. After the conversation, return
to where you fought Baku, then head south, and into the room where you
got the Leather Hat earlier. You will receive Blank's Medicine after
you meet up with Blank in this room, and he'll give you this tip:
Don't forget to
set your _abilities_.
Leaving the band is your business,
but you better keep training!
Learning more abilities is
gonna make you even stronger.
Good luck,
Baku
You'll end up back outside, where you can shop with Cinna:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Now head south, and run to where you met up with Vivi in the Evil Forest (where
you first fought the Prison Cage enemy). This will activate an A.T.E:
Orchestra in the Forest: This shows what is going on back at the Ship, with
the band and a conductor. They all want to liven the
place up, and make their music do the fighting against
the monsters. As they begin, Baku comes downstairs,
and says that he's gonna go take a look around, and
he'll be right back...
When the ATE ends, head north, and into the hole and run downwards. Now run
forward, and go east up the ramp, and into the next area with a Moogle, and
a spring. This will bring up an automatic ATE:
Do as I say, Not as I do: This one shows Blank and Baku talking to each other
on the ship. He gives Blank a map, and says it's
gonna be a long trip back to Lindblum.
Drink out of the spring if you wish, to restore your HP and MP of your entire
party, and use the Moogle to save if you want. Now head east, and onto the
next screen. Now run north across a few screens, until you reach the Princess,
who is being held hostage by a giant, redish plant.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLANT BRAIN:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plant Brain isn't all that hard, but he can become tiresome eventually. He
uses attacks like Pollen, and Thunder which can cause damage to either
one individual, or the entire party. It's best to steal some Eye Drops with
Zidane first, then attack, and to use Sword Magic as Steiner repeatily. Also,
Black Magic (Fire) as Vivi works very well, but not quite as well as Steiner's
Sword Magic (Fire Sword) attacks. Beware though, your chances of connecting
with a physical attack is slim to none, and slim just skipped town. ;) After
enough damage, Blank will enter the fight, and help you out, and finish
off the Plant Brain.
When the fight ends, you'll find that the entire forest is chasing after
you. Along the way out, you'll be forced to fight off a few plants, but
it's not hard at all. Continue running forward until the game takes over,
and a kick-ass FMV starts. After the cut-scenes end, a Moogle will enter,
and start an automatic ATE:
"Teach me, Mogster!" Lesson 1: This ATE shows two Moogles near a swamp, and
the older brother (Mogster) will teach him
several neat things including:
Help Menu
Battles
Abilities
Trance
Icon that appears over the head
Save Moogles
Nothing
Learn all that you can (or need to learn), then return to the game. Monty the
Moogle will give you the Moogle's Flute. You'll exit out onto the Mist
Continent world map. Run forward, and head north (according to your map),
until you reach the Ice Cavern (the blue wall of ice near the side of the
cave). Enter it.
Upon entering the Cavern, check the first chest for a Tent, then run north,
and onto the next screen. Take the northwestern path first, and run north
to the odd wall at the top of the screen. Vivi will break it with his magic,
revealing a chest containing Elixir. Take it, then run down to the chest
in the southeast corner of this room and get the Potion inside. Now examine
the icicle near this chest, and Vivi will make it crash down, allowing you
to access the chest below. Take the Mage Masher from inside, then run
to the next screen to the northeast. Take the Phoenix Down from the chest
here, then run to the west to find another wall that Vivi can break through.
Take the new path south to the chest containing Leather Wrist, then go
back north, and follow the path out of the northern doorway.
On the next screen, take the left-hand path, and un-freeze the Moogle in
the next room. He'll scream at you, and even call you some bastards!!!
Geez. This will activate another automatic ATE:
"Teach me, Mogster!" Lesson 2: You'll return to the swamp with Moggy and
Mogster, the two brother Moogles. This time,
here is what he'll teach you:
Help Menu
Battles
Abilities
Trance
Icon that appears over your head
Save Moogles
Status Effects (NEW!)
Elemental Properties (NEW!)
Card Game (NEW!)
Save your game with the Moogle if you wish, then return to the previous
screen, and take the right-hand path this time. Watch the cut-scene, then
walk towards the ringing-sound you just heard to meet Black Waltz No. 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLACK WALTZ NO. 1 & SEALION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first semi-difficult boss battle so far in the game. You have
to fight 2 enemies: Black Waltz No. 1, and Sealion, the enemy he summoned.
Waltz will attack you and heal Sealion at the same time (he attacks mainly
with Blizzard and Fire), so it's a very good idea to defeat him first, that
way, Sealion won't be healed. Sealion has a colored ball on his chest; it
starts out as blue, but as you damage him, it changes to yellow, then red.
He attacks with various methods of attack, like Fire, Thunder, Blizzard,
Tsunami, and others. Keep up your HP, because it's just you against him.
Eventually, Trance SHOULD take over Zidane, so the rest of the battle
should be a sinch.
After the battle, you hear that Black Waltz No. 2 and 3 will reclaim the
Princess...hmmm...odd. Anyways, watch the cut-scenes, then run north, and
into the room where you fought Black Waltz No. 1, and climb the snowy
ramp. Now head all the way to the top, through the doorway, and back
outside to exit the Mist. From the Ice Cavern, simply run straight ahead
until you reach the town of Dali.
As you enter the Village of Dali, Vivi wants to see the Windmill, but Zidane
insists that they all rest up first. There will be a cut-scene that comes in
and the party will all get some rest. As you awaken, you will hear someone
singing, and a few ATEs will start:
Vivi, Confused: In this ATE, Vivi explores the Village by himself, only to
be confronted by a few snot-nosed kids, who upon seeing him,
run away, and avoid him. Vivi becomes saddened by this, since
whenever he attempts to walk towards them, they run away.
Garnet Tries: See below...
After the ATE ends, you'll regain control of Zidane. Search the chest in the
room to find an Antidote. Now read the bookshelf to see:

the air cab terminal. Look for the
big clock!
Check the hidden chest near the Color Fortune machine to get a Potion, then
head out of the room, and into the lobby to activate the second ATE that
you could not see earlier:
Garnet Tries: This ATE shows Garnet the Princess (who now has a new name,
thanks to you, who changed it) in a small garden with some
pumpkins and a scarecrow. She's wondering about the state
of the Castle, and if it's okay, since there was quite a
ruckus there earlier. She starts to sob, and says that
her mother went too far (the Queen), and that she didn't
have to fire at the ship, even if it was to rescue her.
She also wonders how many people got hurt in the whole
ordeal, then she meets up with an Old Lady. The Old Lady
begins to kill the bugs on the crops, and as Garnet watches
her, an oglop pops out of the crops, and the Old Lady
notices that she likes oglops, when most girls hate them.
So, in an attempt to blend in, she acts like she hates them,
and screams.
Check out the table in the lobby to see what the menu says for the breakfast
service is...
* Dali Inn's Breakfast Service! *
A delicious breakfast for 20 Gil!
- Cold Water, fresh from the well
- Fresh scrambled eggs
- Vegetables, fresh from the farm
* This is a sample menu. *
Leave the Inn, and outside, you'll activate yet another ATE:
Cat's Eye: This ATE shows a cat as he hops off the fireplace, and onto the
desk of the receptionist inside of the Inn. The Innkeeper is
stumped on what he should do. He says that he doesn't wanna
give in to his brother, but everyone else is makin' money
'cept him. He then finds out who that "traveling customer"
was, and says that he won't have to give hin if he tells
him about them, as the cat watches.
Once the ATE ends, head into the shop across from the Inn, and do a bit of
shopping with Shopkeeper Eve:
Dagger................320 Gil
Mage Masher...........500 Gil
Broadsword............330 Gil
Iron Sword............660 Gil
Rod...................260 Gil
Mage Staff............320 Gil
Wrist.................130 Gil
Leather Wrist.........200 Gil
Bronze Gloves.........480 Gil
Leather Hat...........150 Gil
Feather Hat...........200 Gil
Rubber Helm...........250 Gil
Bronze Helm...........330 Gil
Leather Shirt.........270 Gil
Silk Shirt............400 Gil
Bronze Armor..........650 Gil
I strongly suggest picking up anything here that you DO NOT already have (the
only thing here that you shouldn't already have is the Iron Sword, so be
sure to pick one up). Read the paper on the table near the door here for
some useful information:

With this done, head back outside, and run north a bit, and check the wall
near the Shop to find 120 Gil on the ground. Keep running a bit north to
notice a wheel large enough for an airship...hmmm. Cool. Anyways, enter the
house above the shop, and meet Mayor Kapu. He tells you off right away, and
that he's busy. Whatever. Feh. Anyways, leave, and run north to find Vivi
staring at the windmill, and listen to Zidane show off how much of a
ladies' man he is in Lindblum. You two will both hear the sound of chocobos,
but Vivi has no idea what they are...then someone kidnaps him! Great, just
great. Anywho, two more ATEs begin:
Cat's Eye 2: This one shows the Innkeeper again, but this time, he's happy
about something. He laughs, and he says that he "sent someone
to pick it up right away". He also says that he'll have to
keep quiet until the guests leave, and pretend that he's
asleep.
Garnet Tries Harder: This one shows Garnet in the Weapons Shop with Eve, and
she's there to speak with Eve, and learn how common
folk speak, but then some kid comes in and interrupts
her.
Head to the Weapons Shop now that you know Garnet is there, and speak with
her. Agree with her when you have choices to make in dialoge (or at least
say the stuff that is the nicest). Return to the Inn, and talk to Garnet
in the room to activate an automatic ATE:
Queen Brahne's Steiner: This one shows Steiner inside of some place in the
village, helping out Dutiful Daughter Slai. He's
helping her so she'll introduce him to some of
the adults in the village, but she tells him that
the adults don't come there during the day. He then
asks her what the main port of transportation is
in the village, because there is someone he must
escort to the castle. She tells Steiner to go to
the observatory at the top of a mountain along the
outskirts of village, and that an old man named
Morrid lives there. He apparently takes care of
the cargo ship.
Head to the Pub in the north part of town, and talk Slai. Next, check out
the menu for future reference (it's to the left of her):
*Menu*
1. Pickles: 8 Gil
2. Vegetable stir-fry: Out of Stock

Exit the Pub, and return to the left where you first found Vivi, and you'll
hear a sound of a Chocobo. You'll then see that Vivi is trapped underground,
and that "they told him to stay there". You must find a way to get to him.
Head into the windmill to the left of where Vivi lies, and check the back
of the room for Aries. Check the door to see that you need Mayor's Key to
open it. Examine the steel hole that is in the southern part of the room,
and open it. Go down the ladder.
Once down there, hop off the ladder, take the tiny elevator, and open the
chest to find 156 Gil. Now run north to find a Chocobo, Vivi, and his
captors. Enter the small shed near the chocobo to find some Potion inside
of the chest, then open the chest outside of it for some Eye Drops. Go
through the next door, and speak to the Moogle in the barrel, and save
your game. Hop up the crates in the back of this room, and open the
first chest for some Ether. Hop back down, and check out the rope near
the next door, and Kick It to lower another chest. Open it for some Potion,
then head through the next door.
In here, climb up the small steps, and make your way across the crates
to a chest containing an Iron Helm. Check out the chest on the floor for
a Leather Wrist, then head through the northern door. You'll find a
large machine, and Vivi inside of a large box. Before checking out the
large machine, open the chest near it for 95 Gil. Now use the path next
to the machine making eggs, enter the next room, then enter the room
after that to learn something shocking! Watch the cut-scenes, then
you'll take over as Steiner.
Run down the mountain and follow Morrid down the mountain, and into his
hut. After finding out when the Cargo ship gets there, run out of the
house, and onto the field where the Cargo ship is. Once you are near
the large barrel, poke it with your sword to draw out Zidane, Vivi, and
Garnet. They are about to board the ship, but as they do, Black Waltz
No. 2 appears.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLACK WALTZ NO. 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This guy's mission is to take the Princess back to the castle, and he won't
stop at anything to accomplish it, either. He is tougher to defeat than
Black Waltz No. 1 was, but this time, he's alone. The fact that most of
his attacks attack the entire party really hurts you overall. You'll need
to use a few Phoenix Downs, as well as a few potions on your party members.
He casts things like Teleport, Fire, and Thunder, so watch out. Revive
anyone that becomes KO'd, because you need all of the power you can get.
Now at this time, you can either choose to Depart, or to rest at the Inn.
Choose to rest, that way, you can further explore the Village before you
head off. Explore what you want to in the Village, and when you are
ready, go back to the ship, and depart. Once on the ship, head up the
ladder, and talk to Steiner. Afterwards, enter the western cabin, and
you'll turn the ship around, towards Lindblum. In the midst of the
confusion, Black Waltz No. 3 appears, and kills off many of the Mage
dolls. Enjoy the awesome FMV that shows. When you are ready, head out
onto the deck to fight Black Waltz No. 3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLACK WALTZ NO. 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For some strange reason, Black Waltz No. 3 is somewhat easier to defeat than
his previous counterpart was. I'm not sure why, but he doesn't attack you
very often, and even when he does attack, it's not all that potent. Anywho,
by this time, Vivi should have reached Trance-state, so be sure to cast
Fire x 2 on Waltz, and use Steiner's Fire Sword and Blizzard Sword. You
shouldn't have to use any Potions, Ethers, or Phoenix Downs in this fight
if you rested up back in the Village Inn earlier. Repeat the process of
casting spells on him to cause him to run off.
After he runs off, a series of in-game cut-scenes begin, as well as a few
FMVs that pretty much blew me away, and made me cheer for Vivi...er...well,
you'll know what I mean when you see it for yourself. ;)
When you first enter the Castle, all of your party members are marveled at
it's sheer size! A few soldiers enter, and give you the run-around, but
when the Princess shows them tha Falcon Claw emblem, they call in
Minister Artania, who is the Princess's uncle! Follow him through the
first room, past the 2 guards, and onto the lift. He explains the
levels of Lindblum to you, and where you can go, and where you cannot.
Apparently you are going off to meet Regent Cid, who is very wise, and
always thinks ahead. When you meet him, you'll find that he's been
turned into an oglop, and his wife was abducted.
Soon after, you'll enter a pub as Zidane, and meet up with Freya, a new
party member (since you are naming her...). Eventually, after many cut-
scenes, an ATE will begin:
Teach me, Mogster! (My first synthesis lesson): Back we go to the swamp
with Mogster, and this time,
the new thing he'll teach
you about is the Synthesis
Shops. You can also read up
on the previous lessons as
well.
Once that ends, save your game with the Moogle, then head downstairs, and
into the lobby. Read the sign on the bird statue near the stairs:
= Bobo Bird Statue =
Bobo Birds are symbols of good
fortune, according to an Olgan myth.
The founder of this inn bought
the statue, and it has been passed
down for generations.
Leave the Inn, and an ATE will begin:
Small-Town Knight in a Big City: In this ATE, it shows Steiner in the middle
of Lindblum, saying how large it is, and that
he's completely lost. He speaks to a Female
Red Mage, and asks how to return back to the
castle, and she just laughs at him. She also
tells him how he should get rid of his armor,
because of how disgusting it is. He then
speaks to an old lady, and she shows him
some pickles, he falls over, yells, but
then states that they are rather good.
After the ATE, run across the street, and attempt to enter the shop, and another
ATE will begin:
Vivi's Shopping: It shows Vivi inside of a shop, stating how "good a nut
smells". Wow. Ahem, anyways, he begins to look around
the shop, saying all kinds of stuff about the food, and
reads this sign:
= Alice's Item Shop =
Festival of the Hunt Sale ends today!
When Vivi tries to check out, Alice asks him if he is friends
with the Moogles, since he's buying a Kupo Nut, which are
the Moogles' favorite food. She lets him have it for free,
and Viv receives the Kupo Nut. She tells him that the up-
coming festival has animals in it, and Vivi gets excited
and runs off. After he leaves, Alice says something
about "what's so fun about fighting savage beasts...?"
After the ATE, Zidane will be in the Aircab area, so read the schedule on the
wall:
= Provisional Air Cab Scedule =
For the next 3 days, air cabs
will operate on the Festival
of the Hunt schedule.
Air Cab Management
Head back out onto the street, and run north, and into the area where the lady
sells Gysha Pickles. Enter the house to the north of her, and speak to the
Card Game Freak, and read the note on the bookshelf:
= Card Collector No. 7 =
Feature Article: Regarding Rare Cards
Rare cards are priceless!
The cards you're carrying
could become rare cards...
Fabool Publications
There are also two chests in here: One with a Hi-Potion, and the other contain-
ing an Echo Screen. Now leave the house, and take the northeastern path, and
to the part of town with a fountain. Enter the Weapons Shop to the northeast
of the fountain:
Dagger................320 Gil
Mage Masher...........500 Gil
Mythril Dagger........950 Gil
Iron Sword............660 Gil
Javelin...............880 Gil
Rod...................260 Gil
Fork.................1100 Gil
Mage Staff............320 Gil
Wrist.................130 Gil
Leather Wrist.........200 Gil
Glass Armlet..........250 Gil
Bronze Gloves.........480 Gil
Silver Gloves.........720 Gil
Steepled Hat..........260 Gil
Headgear..............330 Gil
Iron Helm.............450 Gil
Linen Cuirass.........800 Gil
Now leave, and enter the Medicine Shop to the left of the Weapons Shop:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Head to the left of the Medicine Shop, and enter the Synthesist shop:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires Mage Masher).......................700 Gil
Cotton Robe (Requires Wrist, Steepled Hat)...........1000 Gil
Desert Boots (Requires Leather Hat, Leather Shirt.....300 Gil
Yellow Scarf (Requires Feather Hat, Steepled Hat).....400 Gil
Glass Buckle (Requires Glass Armlet, Leather Wrist)...500 Gil
I suggest forging either a Butterfly Sword and/or The Ogre when you are
here. Return to the part of town where the Pickle lady is, and this time,
take the northwestern path instead. Run north, and enter the churh. Speak
with everyone here, then climb the ladder to find a Leather Plate on the
catwalk above. Leave the church, and veer right near the trees to find
a hidden Tent. Return to the Air Cab Station (it's across from the Inn),
and ride the Air Cab to [Theater Disctrict]. Exit the air cab area in
the Theater District to activate an ATE:
Steam Engine: This one shows Steiner lost once again, looking for the
Princess. He whines about the size of the City, then asks
someone where he is, and the old man tells him that he
is on the bridge that links the castle and the docks.
He points out the Hilde Garde 2, which is an airship that
can run without Mist, since it has a steam engine.
Exit the air cab station after the ATE, and run south, and check out the
bushes to find 127 Gil. Enter the house near the Gil, and open the chest
here to find some Ore. Leave the house, and run southwest, down the ramp.
Head into the clocktower to your left, and watch a small cut-scene, and
an ATE:
What can I do?: This one shows Garnet in a bedroom, hearing the bell sound.
As she tries to leave to go look around, the Elite Guard
won't allow her to do so. Because of the Festival of the
Hunt, the town is chaotic, making securtiy rather difficult.
He tells her it's for her safety...
Afterwards, Bunce and Lucella enter the scene, and talk to Zidane. They tell
you to go see the Princess at the Castle. Before leaving, open up the various
chests in here to get: 68 Gil, 282 Gil, and 97 Gil! Climb the ladder, and
take the Mini-Burmecia from the bed. Leave the clock area, and an ATE will
start:
Baku and His Crew: This ATE shows Baku and the others as they found a way
out of the Evil Forest before it got petrified. They
did this because Blank showed them a river before he
gave the map to Zidane. Marcus wants to save his brother,
Blank from the Evil Forest, but Baku thinks it's a
better idea to let the Evil Forest stay petrified. They
begin to find a way to get the forest un-petrified.
Run down the stairs, and talk to the Fan Club Chairmen to watch some short
cut-scene, then read the info on the wall about this theater:
= Fuegert Memorial Theater =
We proudly present 'Moogle Wannabe 2':
performed by Zalwicks Company,
the company that gave a stellar
rendition of 'I Wish I Were a Chocobo.'
Lowell Bridges plays Ubobo
A Giant Moogle will run off (Moogle Man), so follow him back to the Air Cab
Station, but instead of going there, enter the house across from the Station
to find Lowell. He'll give you an Autograph if you speak to him. Go to the
station, and fly to the [Industrial District].
Head up the stairs in the back of the area when you exit the station, and
enter the Doom Pub. Read the notice in the back of the pub:
= Airship Engineer Daily Report =
Hilde Garde 2 construction postponed!
The prototype steam engine on board
the Hilde Garde 2 is inoperative.
The engine problem stems from errors
during the manufacturing period.
Exit the pub, and run north to the house where Lindruff is building a
prototype steam engine. Run up the stairs, and check the two chests to
find a Mimic Card, and a Steepled Hat. Okay, nothing else to do here,
so return to the Air Cab station, and fly to the [Lindblum Castle].
Exit the station, climb the red stairs, then go south down the red carpet.
In the room with the fountain, enter the northeastern doorway, and enter
the bedroom with Steiner, where you'll find out that the Princess is
missing. After he runs off, take this time to search the chests in the
room for the following items: Glass Armlet, Ether, and a Moogle save point.
Return to the room with the fountain, and you'll hear Garnet singing from
upstairs. You must find a way to disguise yourself as a guard to get to
the lift, and to find her. Go back to the room that leads to the Princess'
room (where you met Steiner), and head down the stairs, and speak to
the sleeping guard to wake him up. Zidane will lure him into her room,
and will beat him up, and take his disguise. Return to the fountian room,
and run past the guard who is near the lift. He'll let you pass, so
enter the lift.
At the top of the lift, go left, and up the stairs to enter the gear room.
Talk to the Worker to find out that the Princess just went upstairs, so
head up there. Continue up the next few sets of stairs until a FMV kicks
in, and you find her. Watch the series of cut-scenes, until the Festival of
the Hunt starts:
= Festival of the Hunt =
Hunters, on your mark! Ferocious beasts
swarm about the castle town!
The bigger the catch,
the higer the score!
= Festival of the Hunt =
The time limit is 12 minutes.
Use air cabs to go to other districts.
Once you lose in a battle,
you will be forced to retire.
The winner will be crowned Master Hunter
and receive the hunter's reward.
Who will come out on top!?
The point of the Festival of the Hunt is to kill as many of the roaming
monsters that you can in under 12 minutes. Here are some approximate
point values:
If you want to guarentee yourself a victory, simply find as many Fangs as
you can, be sure to have The Ogre weapon equipped, then head to the Business
Disctrict, then take the northeast path to find the largest monster:
ZAGNHOL (Worth over 200 Points)- You'll fight this monster alongside with
Freya. Simply attack it until it dies. It
has a few attacks that can do over 100 HP
of damage, but your Ogre weapon, and physical
attack can do well over 500 HP of damage to
him. If you kill him, you get all of the
points, and Freya gets none. :P
By the way, my highest score so far has been: 215 Hunting Points. If you win
as Zidane, you'll receive the Master Hunter, and 5000 Gil as a reward. As
you receive your reward, a Burmecian Soldier enters, and tells of something
terrible happening to the city of Burmecia. After everything ends, and you
take control of Zidane, exit the room, go downstairs, and take the lift
to [Base Level], then take the left-hand car to [Dragon's Gate]. Speak with
the Moogle, and you'll find a new letter. Save your game, then speak with
the shop-man near the Moogle before you go:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
He also has a letter that you can read.
Head out the Dragon Gate, and onto the World Map. Head north, and you will
eventually find Qu's Marsh. Enter it.
Once here, run north, and you'll find the two Moogles whom you've learned
much about the game from a few ATEs earlier. Speak to them to learn where
the Grotto is (they say it's further north), and you can also re-learn
the stuff they taught you earlier. After speaking with them, continue
north, through the tall grass, and into the area where a Qu is trying
to catch a frog. Catch a frog yourself by standing near one, then pressing
"X" to catch it. Now speak with Qu, and name "it". Watch the cut-scene, and
agree to let him join you and your party.
Watch the rest of the cut-scenes to advance the story, then you can play
a small, frog-catching mini-game here. Simply catch as many frogs as you
can, and try to get the Gold Frog too. Soon, someone will enter, and give
you some Ore for catching 2 Frogs. If you catch 5 Frogs, Quale will enter
and give you some Ether. The basic rundown in as follows:
2 Frogs: Ore
5 Frogs: Ether
9 Frogs: Silk Robe
When you're all done, exit the Marsh, and back onto the World Map. Head north
some more, and you'll find Gizamaluke's Grotto to your left, in the side of
a mountain.
Enter the Grotto, and turn right and speak with the downed soldier. He'll
give you the Gizamaluke Bell. Take it, then go and take the right-hand path,
and Ring the Bell on the door to open it. Enter the door. When you enter,
you'll be forced to fight against two black mages, but the fight is fairly
easy. Each time you fight a pair of Black Mages, you'll get a Gizamaluke's
Bell, which is used to open up the doors with bells on them. Now enter
the large, northern door with a Bell, and help the Moogle by giving her
the Kupo Nut. When they run off, open the chest to get a Gizamaluke Bell.
If you enter the door in this room, you'll find the Moogles, and you can
save if you want to here. If you tell one of the Moogles that you like
Kupo Nuts, then when you try to leave, she'll give you the Holy Bell!
Leave the save room, and take the stairway to the southeast of where
you saved the Moogles, and follow the path to the north. Along the way,
take the Magus Hat from underneath the stairs. Now go back to the opened
chest, and use the bell to open the door to the left of the chest, and
be sure your party is healed up, and you have plenty of potions, elixers,
and Phoenix Downs upon entering this room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GIZAMALUKE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This boss is probably the toughest boss in the game so far, because he has
at least over 2000 HP of health, and his attacks can do some serious
damage. He uses magical attacks like Fire, as well as Water, which can
hurt your party badly. If you have the Ogre as Zidane, use it to cast
Soul Blade, and blind him. You should also use Vivi's Thunder attacks
against him, and Freya's Jumping Spear attack too. You WILL need to use
plenty of Potions, and Phoenix Downs in this fight, so be ready for it.
After the fight ends, you take over as Steiner in Grand Citadel South Gate.
Run up the stairs as Steiner, and talk to the guards. Enter the area, and
talk to the woman to your right, and choose to Console her to get her out
of your way. Now speak to the man to the south of that woman, and get
him to move. When the coast is clear, attempt to head into the alleyway, but
as you do, the short guard gives you the Gate Pass. Enter the alley, let
her change, then enter the next part of the city, and talk to the old
lady ahead of you to shop:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Open up the chest to the west of the small shop to get a Potion, then save
your game with the Moogle near it. Now head up the northern stairs, and
show the man your Gate Pass, and depart onto the train. Choose a seat on
the train to depart. Watch the cut-scenes, and when you take over as
Zidane on the World Map, run north to enter Bermecia.
Run forward to the north, and onto the next screen. Fight the two Black
Mages that are sent upon you, then enter the door to your left. Open the
two chests to find Soft and a Potion. Now leave the room, and run east,
and into the door there. In here, check the chest in the rear (near the
stairs) to find a Soft, then run up the stairs. Now IGNORE the chest by
the doorway, because it's a fake chest, and it'll start a fight if you
touch it. Enter the doorway at the top of the stairs, and attempt to
run to the next chest. The floor will fall down, so exit back outside,
enter the room where you found the two chests, and climb the stairs.
Now run across the floor that just fell down, and IGNORE the chest
near the doorway, and enter it.
Check around the room, and exit out onto the balcony. Talk to the Bermecian
Soldier in the bedroom, then open the hidden chest in the back of the room
to get some Ether. Now search under the bed to get the Protection Bell, then
leave the room, go back outside, east and up the stairs, back inside,
up the stairs again, and through the western doorway to get back outside
again. Ring the bell in front of this door to shatter it, then enter it.
Run up the large stairs, and enter the northern doorway. Watch the cut-scene,
then climb the right-hand stairs, and enter the doorway to your left. Search
the two chests for a Tent and a Phoenix Down, then run around the path, to
the other side, and enter the northern door. Now enter the lefthand brown
door, and Freya will take the Mythril Spear from the statue. Exit, and
enter the right-hand door. Talk to the Moogle to use a Tent and to save
your game, or Shop if you wish:
Needle Fork.............3100 Gil
Glass Armlet.............250 Gil
Mythril Gloves...........980 Gil
Steepled Hat.............260 Gil
Headgear.................330 Gil
Magus Hat................400 Gil
Barbut...................600 Gil
Bronze Vest..............670 Gil
Linen Cuirass............800 Gil
Potion...................050 Gil
Phoenix Down.............150 Gil
Echo Screen..............050 Gil
Soft.....................100 Gil
Antidote.................050 Gil
Eye Drops................050 Gil
Tent.....................800 Gil
Run forward, and open the chest to find a Lightning Staff. You can also buy
these items from the next Moogle that comes in: Soft, Hi-Potion, and Ether,
all for the super-low price of 333 Gil. Exit the room, and head north, up the
stairs. On the next screen, choose all three options, but do the "Leave Her
alone" one last. Watch the cinemas, end eventually, you'll reach a boss fight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEATRIX
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fight starts off slow and easy, but after a few turns of battle, it
completely changes pace, since Beatrix begins to pummel your party with
physical and magic attacks that can cause over 500 HP of damage, and
that's not the maximum amount she can dish out. Be sure you have Vivi
equipped with the Lightning Staff, and have Freya equipped with the Mythril
Spear you just found earlier, and be sure that Zidane has The Ogre sword,
or something very strong. Use plenty of magic against her, like Blizzara,
Spear, Reis's Wind, and so on. Use plenty of healing items, but don't worry,
you can't die in this fight. Instead, Beatrix will give mercy to your
party and leave your last members with 1 HP of health left before ending
the fight.
Watch the cinemas and the FMV, then save your game, and switch discs.
When you take over as Dagger, head up the first set of stairs nearest to
you, and enter the rest area. Speak with everyone here for details, then
shop with the ShopKeeper here:
Air Racket...........400 Gil
Mythril Rod..........560 Gil
Glass Armlet.........250 Gil
Silver Gloves........720 Gil
Mythril Gloves.......980 Gil
Steepled Hat.........260 Gil
Headgear.............330 Gil
Magus Hat............400 Gil
Rubber Helm..........250 Gil
Iron Helm............450 Gil
Barbut...............600 Gil
Bronze Vest..........670 Gil
Linen Cuirass........800 Gil
Potion...............050 Gil
Phoenix Down.........150 Gil
Echo Screen..........050 Gil
Soft.................100 Gil
Antidote.............050 Gil
Eye Drops............050 Gil
Tent.................800 Gil
Check out the chest near the Moogle (you can save here too if you wish), and
take the Phoenix Down. Talk to the main near the chest, and he'll tell you
the train will be departing soon, but then you'll hear the Lindblum car
leave, and hear a familiar voice. Head outside to see Cinna and Marcus.
Now re-enter the rest area, and speak with Cinna, Marcus, then to Steiner
last. Now go outside, and enter the car that is heading for Alexandria.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLACK WALTZ NO. 3 (His Return)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This final form of Black Waltz No. 3 is much easier to defeat than his first
form, since this one has basically gone insane, and is much weaker than
earlier. He uses attacks like Thunder, Blizzara, Hit, Freeze and whatnot, but
they're not very potent. Use Marcus's steal option to steal a Phoenix
Down, and a Lightning Staff if possible, then attack with his physical
attacks. Use Dagger to Cure your party, and use mainly physical attacks
against him.
After the fight, you'll end up at South Gate/Alexandrian Station. Head
past the train and do some shopping with Part-Time Worker Mary before heading
to Treno. Exit off the screen, and to the fork in the road. Take the right-hand
path and head to Treno. Cross the bridge, then run south to find a chest
containing 1610 Gil inside. Continue eastward, onto the next screen, show the
guards your Gate Pass, then exit out onto the World Map. Now just head forward,
then to your right to find the city of Treno, but if you wish to level up
quickly, then head over to the forested area, and wander around. There
are plenty of Mandragora's that come in packs of 2-3 each battle, and you
can get tons of EXP and Gil from each fight, which allows you to level up
your party pretty fast.
Right as you enter the city, you'll watch a cut-scene, followed by two ATEs:
Treno Tradition
Ambition
Watch an ATE, then head up the northeastern stairs. Once on the next screen,
you will find an Inn to your left. Use it if you need to, then head north, and
to the next screen. Run forward to find a Moogle. Head right and into the
large wooden doors to go shoppin':
Dagger.............320 Gil
Mage Masher........500 Gil
Mythril Dagger.....950 Gil
Mythril Sword.....1300 Gil
Mythril Spear.....1100 Gil
Air Racket.........400 Gil
Mythril Rod........560 Gil
Flame Staff.......1100 Gil
Ice Staff..........980 Gil
Lightning Staff...1200 Gil
Fork..............1100 Gil
Needle Fork.......3100 Gil
Leather Wrist......200 Gil
Glass Armlet.......250 Gil
Bone Wrist.........330 Gil
Mythril Gloves.....980 Gil
Magus Hat..........400 Gil
Bandana............500 Gil
Barbut.............600 Gil
Silk Shirt.........400 Gil
Leather Plate......530 Gil
Bronze Vest........670 Gil
Chain Plate........810 Gil
Linen Cuirass......800 Gil
Chain Mail........1200 Gil
Shop a bit, then ask the lady about the monster below you. Exit, and continue
north a bit, and up the stairs to find the Auction site. Enter the large door.
You'll find Dagger here, then take over control as Dagger. You can return
to the auction and bid on items if you'd like, then return back outside,
run past the moogle, and head south. Once on the next screen, go west, and then
south, and onto the next screen. Now run to the west to find a chest with
a Mythril Dagger. Now return to the previous screen, and then head north
a bit, then go left into the mansion to find a Synth Shop:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires 2 Mage Mashers)....................700 Gil
Cotton Robe (Requires Wrist, Steepled Hat)...........1000 Gil
Desert Boots (Requires Leather Hat, Leather Shirt.....300 Gil
Yellow Scarf (Requires Feather Hat, Steepled Hat).....400 Gil
Glass Buckle (Requires Glass Armlet, Leather Wrist)...500 Gil
Germinas Boots (Requires Desert Boots, Fork)..........900 Gil
Cachusha (Requires Magus Hat, Rubber Helm)...........1000 Gil
Coral Ring (Requires Lightning Staff, Rod)...........1200 Gil
Gold Choker (Requires Linen Cuirass, Soft)...........1300 Gil
Synth a few things, most notably the last 3 add-ons. Leave the mansion,
and continue north, to the next screen, then enter the doors to meet the
queen. Give her Aeires if you have it to get 1000 Gil. Now return all
the way back to where the Inn is located, then head east of it, and down
the ladder. Open the chest here to get a Yeti Card, then speak to the
Shopkeeper:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Stock up on plenty of medicine, then open the next chest to get a measly
1 Gil. Head north of the shop, and explore behind it to get Taurus. Now
return to the Inn, and you'll find Marcus. Say that you're ready to go
with Marcus, then head down to the dock to meet Baku. Watch the cut-scenes,
then meet Doctor Tot, who will unlock the large tower near the Treno
Entrance.
Go to the entrance, and go left from there, and head up the tower. At the
top, you'll get the SuperSoft from the Doctor. Talk to him again to
activate a cut-scene. Watch it, then follow the doctor up the ladder,
then into the hole.
Begin this mini-dungeon by saving your game with the Moogle near the entrance,
then heading to the southwest. On the first screen, open the chest to your
right to get a Chain Plate. Now head to the west of this chest, and go to the
end of the hallway to find a chest containing a Phoenix Down, and the lever
you're supposed to pull. Pull it, then return to the Doctor, and head down
the southeast path now. Head north on the next screen, and the Doctor will
meet with you, and tell you to pull the nearby lever. Do it, and a gargan
will come around, pulling a trolley. Now you must halt it. Go back a screen,
run past the Doctor, down the small steps, and pull the lever here. The
gargan will stop, and your party will step aboard the trolley.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RALVURAHVA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This guy is the one blocking your path in the trolley, so you'll have to
deal with him. Start off by having Dagger cast Protect on everyone, then
have Steiner and Marcus attack most of the time. If you try to steal, do
it fast, because after enough damage, he'll escape (the Ralvurahva).
If you do happen to steal anything, it'll be a Bone Wrist, but remember
that it's hard to steal anything from this guy. If he casts Devil's Kiss
on anyone, heal them fast, because their HP will drop gradually. After
enough damage, he'll run off.
After the cut-scenes, you'll take over control with Zidane, Vivi, Freya, and
Quina. Your goal is to head off to Clerya, west of Burmecia. Head west, and
into that large, swirling sandstorm.
Once you are inside of the tree, run northeast, and pull the lever at the
top of the steps to open the nearby door, then enter it. In the next room,
open up the chest to the northeast to get a Phoenix Down. Run north, and
through the next doorway. Out here, head east, and avoid the sandtraps,
and check out the hidden chest to the south to get some Magician's Shoes.
Take them from the chest before leaving, then out the next doorway. Run
north up the side of the tree, through the doorway, and back inside of the
tree. Open the chest to get an Ether, then run south to the hole in the
tree. Put your hand inside to raise the sand level of the tree. Now exit
this room, and climb the vines and enter the hole on the side of the tree.
Run through this room, and enter the doorway to the west. Open the chest
in the next area for the Needle Fork. Now head up the ramps, and you
can find a Moogle here, so save your game and use a Tent if necessary.
Check out the chest across from the Moogle to get a Tent, then continue
up the sandy ramps and onto the next screen. Now take the left-hand stairs
to find a chest with a Flame Staff inside, so take it, then head up the
other set of stairs. Cross the bridge, and enter the next area.
Run to the center of the room to find a hidden chest with some Desert Boots
inside. Now head out the tunnel behind this chest, and out here, open the
chest to get some Mythril Gloves. Head north, and pull the lever at the
top. Now return to the cave where you got the Desert Boots, and head to
the left of the center cave (where you just were), to find a hidden chest
containing a Mythril Vest! Head through the cave to the far left of you.
Open the first chest to your right to get a Potion, then take the right-hand
path that leads to a chest with an Elixer inside. Go back a screen, and
take the left-hand path instead. Run around the sandtraps, and open the
first chest to get a Hi-Potion, and open the second chest to get 900
Gil! If you happen to fall into one of the sandtraps, mash the X button
to get out. Take the western path, and follow it to the ladder. But before
climbing up it, check the chest behind it to get some Gysahl Greens.
Now climb up the ladder, and follow the short path to...
Right when you enter the Settlement, Freya runs off to meet the King. So,
after she leaves, the Forest Oracle Kildea offers to give you the tour
of the settlement, so agree to go. He'll show you stuff like the market,
the waterwheel, the observatory, and the cathedral. After the tour concludes,
you take over as Zidane. Head up the first set of stairs, and turn right
to find a hidden area with a Phoenix Pinion. Take it, then head up the
next set of stairs, and to the right to activate an ATE (No Yummy-Yummies!).
When the ATE ends, head to the right, and search the ground to get some Ore.
Take it, then go left, and across the small bridge to the southwest, and an
ATE will begin (Don't Hate Me). Watch it, then search the ground near the
steps to get some Thunder Gloves. Return to the market area of town,
and where the "Don't Hate Me" ATE just took place, and speak with Dan to
buy some weapons:
Partisan...................1600 Gil
Multina Racket..............750 Gil
Mythril Rod.................560 Gil
Flame Staff................1100 Gil
Ice Staff...................980 Gil
Needle Fork................3100 Gil
Bone Wrist..................330 Gil
Mythril Armlet..............500 Gil
Mythril Gloves..............980 Gil
Thunder Gloves.............1200 Gil
Magus Hat...................400 Gil
Bandana.....................500 Gil
Mage's Hat..................600 Gil
Mythril Helm...............1000 Gil
Chain Plate.................810 Gil
Mythril Vest...............1180 Gil
Chain Mail.................1200 Gil
Mythril Armor..............1830 Gil
Be sure to stock up on any of the more powerful weapons you have yet to get
(Ice Staff, Fire Staff, Needle Fork), as well as lots of Defensive armor
(Bandana, Chain Plate, Chain Mail, Mythril anything...), because you'll
need it. Enter the Inn right above Dan, and check the ground to the right
of the Innkeeper to get 1250 Gil. Now check the corner to the left of the
Innkeeper to get an Echo Screen. Climb the stairs, and check the dresser
near the bed to get some Ether. Now you can also find a Moogle here, near
the window. Check for mail, and you should have a letter for Zidane. Read
it, then save your game. Also rest up if you need to.
Leave the Inn, and run up the right-hand stairs, and along the way, you'll
find a Remedy on the ground. Continue up the steps, and a few ATEs will
pop up ("I-I Haven't Hurt Anyone", and "There's a Mushroom!"). Head to
the observatory, and speak with the girls, then head east across the bridge.
On the next screen, you will find a Phoenix Pinion on the ground near some
mushrooms, and a few people, like Star Maiden Nina:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Annoyntment...........150 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Head north, to the area outside of the cathedral, and search the grass to the
south to find some Gysahl Greens, and search the area in front of the
cathdedral to find an Echo Screen. Enter the cathedral, and get the message
from Freya, saying for you to wait for her at the Inn. Return back to the
Inn. As you get near the Inn, someone reports that the Antlion has mauled
a kid. Follow Dan to the entrance of the town, then head east to find
the Antlion attacking Puck.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANTLION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start off the fight by having Vivi cast Blizzara as soon as possible, then
have him cast it for the entire fight. Use Zidane to steal items (you can
get stuff like Annoyntment, a Gold Helm, and other stuff too), and use
Freya's ability, Reis's Wind to heal the party as you go. This fight is
a cinch if you have Vivi cast Blizzara, because it deals out around
1200 HP of damage each time.
When the fight ends, watch the little dance sequence with Freya, then the
FMV that shows. Watch the next few cinemas, then meet the rest of the
party at the entrance of Cleyra. Make your way down the tree, and all
the way to the bridge (you'll have to fight pairs of Alexandrian Soldiers
along the way. At least one pair in each room). Once you reach the bridge,
you'll meet Puck, who tells you to return to the town.
Right away, you'll have to fight a Black Mage, then some Alexandrian
Soldiers, then another Black Mage or two. If you go to where you fought
the Antlion, you'll find a Moogle who has a letter, and a task for you.
Save your game here, then head up the stairs. At the top, you'll have
to make a decision. If you choose "Head up", then two of the citizens
will die, so choose this one:
- Head to the Right
Now head to the next area, and when Dan's Family enters, choose:
- Let's go to the left
This will save them, and make you fight another Black Mage, and two Alexandrian
Soldiers. On the next screen, choose:
- Head to the right
Now when you are near the observatory, choose:
- No, we're not safe yet
And you'll head to the Cathedral to make your stand. As you try to enter,
a lot of Black Mages will surround you, but a Stranger with a huge spear
comes and saves you. When you enter the cathedral, you'll learn that it
was Fratley, the one Freya has been searching for. After he leaves,
Beatrix returns, and steals their Magic Stone. Follow her outside,
and in the cathedral lobby, speak to each of the surviving citizens
to get items that include:
And more items can be found too. Talk to the Moogle to use a Tent to rest
up, and save your game, then agree to deliver his letter. Now leave,
and follow her outside.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEATRIX
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right away, use Vivi to cast Slow on her, then continue to cast it when it
wears off. Use Vivi to cast Blizzara and Fira on her coninuously, and
use Zidane to steal items from her like Thunder Gloves, Phoenix Down, and
an Ice Brand if you're lucky. Use Freya to cast Reis's Wind to heal the
party, and use plenty of potions and Phoenix Downs to heal your party.
Also use Lancer with Freya to do some good damage. Her most powerful
attack (that can kill you), is Shock, which can deal at least 800 HP
of damage. After she takes enough damage, she'll cast Stock Break, and
make your entire party go down to 1 HP, and run off with the Stone.
You'll end up back on a ship, where Beatrix ran off to, so head up the stairs
when you take over as Zidane, and follow Beatrix to watch a cut-scene. When
it ends, Vivi runs off, so follow him down the stairs. As you do this, Serino
the Moogle appears, so go back up and chase him. Give him the letter that
was from Mopli, and he'll give you a Kupo Nut for delivering it. Accept his
offer to deliver his letter to Moodon, then save your game, and go back down
and follow Vivi again. Use the Pods to return to Alexandria...
When the game takes over, you play a small mini-game where Steiner and Marcus
have to escape their hanging cell by swinging it back and forth until it
crashes into the wall. Hit either left or right on the control pad to
swing your weight back and forth until it crashes. When it does, run around
the outer area to the large ladder on the other side, and make sure you
remove anything valuable from Marcus. Now go left and enter the room, and
watch as Marcus runs off. Good thing you removed anything you had on him, eh?
After you get back together with your party, head out where Marcus left, and
run outside. Head north, and avoid any guards that chase you. Enter the
castle, and run up the stairs as fast as you can. Head around the outer
balcony, and through the southern doors, then go left and up the next
set of stairs, and through the wooden doors to the north. Now head up the
stairs, and through the next doors at the top. In here, examine the purple
flame to the northwest of the room. Pull it to reveal a hidden path, so take
it.
In the next room, hop onto the rotating platform, and ride it to the ledge
with the two chests to get a Tent, and the Ice Brand, a powerful sword
for Steiner. Immediately equip it to him, then hop onto the platform
again, and take it to the other side of the room. Run down the spiral
stairs, and take them all the way down to the bottom of the area. Once
on the circle platform, head north, and through the double doors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ZORN & THORN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These two aren't hard to beat at all. All you have to do is use Vivi to
case Blizzara a lot on them, have the Ice Brand equipped to Steiner, then
use his Blizzara Sword attack on them, use Freya to either heal the
party with Reis's Wind, or just attack with Lancer, and use Zidane to
steal items from them, particularly the Mythril Armlet and Armor, and
the Stardust Rod from Zorn. After enough damage, they'll run away from
the fight.
When you take control of Zidane, you have Dagger in your arms. Talk to the
Moogle here to use a Tent and to save your game, then take her all the
way back upstairs and to the Queen's Lair at the top of the stairs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEATRIX (Yes, again...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fight is like the other fights with Beatrix (what was it, 2 other fights
too? Geez...), in that you should use Vivi to cast Slow on her, and use
Steiner and Zidane to attack her, and use Steiner's Blizzara Sword attack
to do some good damage. Use Vivi to continue to cast Slow and Blizzara on
Beatrix, and use Zidane to steal items from her, like Phoenix Down and
an Ice Brand. If your health gets low, use Freya to cast Reis's Wind on
the party, and be sure to heal often. Beatrix uses the same attacks as
before, and also like before, when she takes enough damage, she'll drop
everyone down to 1 HP, then stop the fight.
Watch the cut-scene, and when you take over as Freya and Beatrix in a battle
against a Bandersnatch, use Beatrix's Climhazzard attack (remember what it
did to you in the last battle? Good, that's why you should use it). You'll
take over as Zidane, so quickly hop across the rotating platform before
the Bandersnatch catches you, then run down the stairs until you reach a
few Black Mages. Fight 'em, kill 'em, then dump 'em. Continue down the
stairs, and kill the next Bandersnatches, and watch as Steiner leaves
to help Freya and Beatrix. Kill the next set of Bandersnatches with Freya,
Beatrix, and Steiner.
When you take over as Zidane, return to the Moogle where you saved Dagger,
and get a letter from him to deliver (his letter to Monty). Now head
down the stairs south of the Moogle room, and continue until you get
trapped. Watch in pain as Thorn and Zorn laugh at you, then laugh your
ass off when some "special" guests drop in. :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RALVUIMAGO
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The worm returns, and this time, he's not that easy to beat. Right away, use
Dagger to cast Shell and/or Protect on the party, then use Vivi to cast
Blizzara on it. When it coils up and reacts to the attack, use Zidane to
steal stuff from it, and heal the party with Dagger. Since this fight is
long, you can steal everything from Ralvuimago: Phoenix Down, Oak Staff,
and an Adaman Vest. Don't try to attack it when it's coiled up, because
it barely does any damage at all.
When you start, you'll speak with Ramuh, who says that if you can find his
5 shadows, and compile the story correctly, he'll join his powers with
yours. You'll take control of Dagger, so run forward and give the letter
to Monty, then save your game. Now, on with the 5 stories:
Beginning Story: To find the Beginning Story, head north of Monty the Moogle,
and then west up the side of the green branch, and Ramuh
will tell you this story.
Hero Story: This one is simple. Just go to where you first met Ramuh, and he'll
tell you this story.
Cooperation Story: Head past where you heard the 'Hero' Story, and onto the
next screen. Now run north, then south, and down the branch
until you reach another screen with a chest to your left.
Run forward to talk to Ramuh, and get this piece of the
story. While you're here, open the chest to get The Ogre
weapon for Zidane.
Silence Story: After getting the 'Cooperation' Story, head north of the branch
you ran down earlier, and onto the next screen. There is a
chest to your right, and as you approach it, Ramuh appears.
Talk to him, then go back a screen, and run back up the green
ramp.
Human Story: Once you are at the top of the ramp, run around to the right, and
go across the bridge. Now run down the left-hand ramp, and past
the point when a "?" appears over Dagger's head, and Ramuh will
appear. He'll ask you if you give up, so say "no", then hop
off the ledge and open the chest below to get the Mythril Armlet.
Return to Monty the Moogle, and run south of him. Open the chest
to get a Mythril Vest, then run north, and towards a corner in
the swamp to meet the last Ramuh.
Now return to where you met Ramuh, and he asked you if you want to give up,
and speak to him. He'll ask you to put the story in the correct order, which
is:
- Beginning
- Cooperation
- Silence
- Human
If done correctly, he'll ask you if you are satisfied with your choices, so
say "yes". Now after his speach, you will receive the Peridot, which allows
you to summon Ramuh in battle. After viewing a few FMVs, you'll end up
back in Lindblum, after it took a devistating blow.
Enter the Inn to the left of you, and run upstairs, and give Moodon the
Moogle a letter if you have one. Now take the letter that he wants you
to deliver if you haven't done so already, then exit the Inn, and head
north. On the next screen, head north again, to the rubble, and search
it to get the Lindblum Card. Now enter the house to the right of the
rubble, and search the two chests to get an Ether and a Phoenix Pinion.
Exit the house, and head north, and onto the next screen to meet up
with Minister Artania.
Watch the cut-scene to learn of your next objective, and you'll get 3000
Gil from Cid. Now take this time to explore the only area left in the
city of Lindblum, and go shopping. Buy plenty of items from the medicine
shop, as well as some weapons, and forge new ones at the Synth shop. It's
recommended that you buy Exploda from the Synth Shop, as well as equipping
the Peridot to Dagger before you leave:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires 2 Mage Mashers)....................700 Gil
Exploda (Requires Mage Masher, Mythril Dagger).......1000 Gil <--- Get this!!!

Head to the aircab station, and ride the aircab to the [Theater District].
Enter the artist's house to find some Ore in a chest, then go south down
the steps, and enter the Clock Tower. Open up the scattered chests to find
340 Gil, 262 Gil, and 993 Gil. Exit the Clock Tower, and run south to
find Lowell, so speak with him, and he'll run off to Alexandria to find
an acting job. Now go back to the [Business District], and speak with
the man in the part of town with the fountain, and you'll go off to
meet with Cid on the base level of the castle.
He'll tell you not to get lost in the Excavation Site, and he'll give you
the World Map before you head off. Once you reach Dragon's Gate, speak to
Moonte, save your game and use a Tent if you need to, then give him a letter
from Moodon if you have it. Read it, then shop with the merchant once more
before leaving:
Ice Brand...............3780 Gil

Exit onto the World Map, but before heading to Qu's Marsh, head right (east)
and cross the small bridge over the river, then enter Chocobo's Forest which
is directly across from the bridge.
This is the place that you want to go before heading off to Qu's Marsh again.
Once you are here, talk to the Moogle, and he'll tell you to take his Chocobo,
who he calls Choco. Choco runs away, however, but the Moogle tells you to
catch him outside of the forest by finding the Chocobo foot prints, then
using the Gysahl Greens to call him. When riding a chocobo, you won't come
into any random battles while on the World Map. Go outside, and step on
the chocobo marks, then use the Gysahl Greens to call Choco. Return to the
forest, and speak with the Moogle to learn about the chocobo, and what
it can do: It can seek hidden underground treasures. Now he'll ask you if
you want to play a game for 60 Gil per minute. Say yes, then begin a game:
- How to play Chocobo Hot & Cold -
Directional Pad: Move Choco
[Square]: Dig
When you dig with [Square],
Choco lets you know how close you are
to a treasure. When he finds it,
just dig, dig, dig, Kupo!
- Choco's Cries -
'Kweh' means nothing.
'Kweh!?' means it's far away.
'Kwehhh!?" means you're close.
'K-KWEHHH!!!' means you've found something!
Rare treasures are buried deep.
Once you find something, dig with [Square]!
until Depth reaches 0.
- Other Rules -
POINT SERVICE: You rack up points for each item you find. After enough points,
you can exchange the points for items! This is what it keeps
track of:
High Score (Area)
# of games played (Area)/Total
Current points
DIGGING DEPTH: Each time you press [Square], Choco digs 6 feet underground. The
deeper the item, the more valuable it is, and the more points
it's worth.
POINT VALUES FOR ITEMS:
Echo Screen............01 Point
Soft...................01 Point
Potion.................01 Point
Antidote...............01 Point
Gysahl Greens..........01 Point
Eye Drops..............01 Point
200 Gil................02 Point(s)
Ore....................02 Point(s)
Remedy.................04 Point(s)
Stone with Pattern.....20 Point(s)
NOTE: You also get to keep whatever he digs up, even the Gil
that he digs for you.
POINT BONUSES: If you find a treasure within the 5 seconds of another treasure,
you'll get an additional 5 bonus points.
DIGGING BONUS: If you happen to dig up 4 or more items in one 60 second game
session, Mene the Moogle will give you a bonus, which is that
he'll DOUBLE the amount of points everything is worth for the
remaining amount of time left in your session, and he'll add
an extra 10 seconds to the game clock for you.
POINT EXCHANGE SYSTEM: When you exchange your points for items, you'll get a
list to choose from:
Use your points wisely, and be sure to save up as many
points as you can before trading them in for items. ^_^
LEVELING UP WITH CHOCO: As you collect points, Choco the chocobo can level up.
There are different parts of him, like his Beak. The
more points you rack up, the higher he levels up.
CHOCOGRAPH: This is also known as the "Stone with Pattern", and this area is
located somewhere outside of the Chocobo Forest, and it contains
tons of valuable treasure...
When you're ready, begin to play Chocobo Hot & Cold! Also note that you can
always purchase additional Gysahl Greens from Mene the Moogle for 80 Gil per
Gysahl Green. Here are the Chocobo Commands:
- Chocobo Navigation -
[X] : Enter Chocobo's Forest
When you meet certain requirements...
[Triangle] : Open Menu
[Square] : Look for treasures
[Circle] : Dismount
[Select] : Switch navigation map
[L1] [L2] : Camera Control
[L2] : Lock/unlock camera rotation
[R2] : Switch perspective
Now if you exit the Forest, and equip the Chocograph, it'll say to search
the Stream, where it meets the ocean. To find it, simply cross the bridge
again, then run left, and to the beach, and search there for a chest. Here
is what I found in my chest:
2 Elixer
3 Hi-Potion
4 Ether
2 Germinas Boots
When you are done, head back west, and enter Qu's Marsh. Head north to find
Quina in the frog pond, and she'll rejoin your party once more. If you wish,
you can catch some more frogs to earn more items:
2 Frogs: Ore
5 Frogs: Ether
9 Frogs: Silk Robe
When you finish, head north again, and enter Quale's house and speak with
him. Now head back outside of his house, and veer around the back of it,
and Quina will chase some frogs off the screen. She'll lead you to the
excavation site!
Once you enter, you'll have to run away from a killer machine across three
different screens, all containing swinging blades. Be sure NOT to let him
catch up with you, or you'll have to fight him. Try not to touch the blades
either, since they'll slow you down. On the third screen, stay on the top
of the screen, to avoid the large gap in the road. After the three screens,
you'll be safe from him, but then you'll have to fight a boss battle...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LANI:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fight may seem difficult at first, but it's not. Start off by having
Vivi cast Slow on Lani, then have Dagger summon Ramuh on her. Also, be
sure to have Dagger cast Protect and Shell on herself and her party
members during the fight. Use Fira and Blizzara on Lani with Vivi, and
use Quina to mainly heal the party. Use Zidane to steal items such as
Ether, Gladius, and even a Coral Sword, but the latter two items are
very hard to come by. Another note: Be sure to have the Auto-Potion
ability equipped to any party members who can use it, since it's a very
useful ability to have.
Head down the stairs, and at the bottom, run left, and up the stairs until
you find some yellow flowers. Pick one, then move in front of the hole in
the wall, and hit [X] when a "!" appears over Zidane's head. This will
cause the Gargant to eat the flower, allowing you to hop onto it to ride
it to the other side. Once he drops you off, head up the northern stairs,
and speak with the Treasure Hunter to get directions on where to go. Now
run down the stairs, and speak with Mogki to do several things, like save
and such, but also to shop with Mogshop:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Annoyntment...........150 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
You can also purchase a Phoenix Pinion, Ether, and a Remedy for 555 Gil from
Stiltzkin, the gold Moogle.
NOTE: For this part of the walkthough, you'll have to call many Gargants with
flowers (yellow ones). Instead of telling what to do exactly, I'll just
say "Call the Gargant", which means for you to pick a nearby yellow
flower, then standing near it to call the Gargant.
Run down the path to the right of the two Moogles, and call the Gargant with
the yellow flowers here. When he drops you off, head north to find a chest
containing Fairy Earrings. Take them, then return south to where he dropped
you off, and call the Gargant again. Run back to the Treasure Hunter, and
run north of him, and onto the next screen. Call the Gargant here.
After he drops you off, head to the right, onto the next screen, and hit the
switch. Go back a screen, and re-call the Gargant. When he drops you off,
run up the set of stairs, then north and onto the next screen to find a chest
with some Ether inside. Go back a screen, and go to where it dropped you
off. Once here, head north, and onto the next screen, and run around the
bend, and onto the next screen. Here you'll find Switch No. 2, so hit it,
then go back to where the gargant dropped you off, and call it again.
After it drops you off, hit Switch No. 1 again, and ride the gargant back
to the first area. Run back past the Treasure Hunter, and run to the south-
east path, and ride the Gargant here to a new area. Run up the stairs, and
hit Switch No. 4, then head through the doorway to the right of this
switch, and call the gargant. Once you've been dropped off, head to the
right, and open the chest to get Lamia's Tiara. Now return to where it
dropped you off, call the gargant, hit switch 4 again, then go back to
the right, and call the gargant once more.
In the new area, run to the right to find tons of vines. Climb across the
bottom of the vines, and head through the door. Talk to the Treasure Hunter
here, and give him a potion to dig. Dig up the rocky wall here to find
Kuppo the Moogle hidden behind it (just wait for an "!" to appear to know
when to dig). Here, you can save, use a tent, shop with MogShop, or get
a letter from him that he asks you to deliver. Do this, and begin your digging.
It takes anywhere from 9-50 independant strikes with your axe pick on the
areas here, but you can find numerous Hi-Potions here if you are patient
When you are done, head down the southeast path, and on the next screen, head
west, and search the corner to find a Survival Vest. Now return to the vine
area, and climb up to the northwestern ledge, and hit the Exit switch, then
climb back down to the lowest ledge on your right and enter the next area.
Call the last Gargant to exit this place.
Your goal in this area is to reach the yellow building above the open
canyon. Run underneath the suspended building, and around the canyon to
the right, then run onto the raised area in the center, then make your
way across it and into the new area.
NOTE: There is one particular enemy in this area which is a pain in the ass,
and that is the Cactuar enemy. This green guy may look small, but his
1000 Needles attack can whipe out your party in a matter of minutes,
since it takes off 1000 HP of damage if it hits someone. My advice is
to Flee from a fight with this guy, unless your party is EXTREMELY
powerful at this point in the game.
When you first enter Conde Petie, you'll be greeted warmly by the locals
with a solid "Rally-Ho!" from each of the citizens. Search the area if
you wish to activate a few ATEs, then head into the Item Shop (Wendy's
Item Shop), and do some shopping, then save the game with the Moogle here.
When you're done, head up the stairs, and talk to Vivi, who is speaking
with two dwarves. After he runs away, follow him back down the stairs, and
into the Item Shop to find a Black Mage who's talking to Wendy, then
Vivi enters, and chases the Black Mage away.
Now it's time to head to the Southeast Forest, and into the Black Mage Village,
but you should first buy some weapons and items:
Grocer:
Potion................050 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Annoyntment...........150 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Conde Petie Weapon Shop:
Poison Knuckles....................5000 Gil
Multina Racket......................750 Gil
Stardust Rod........................760 Gil
Flame Staff........................1100 Gil
Ice Staff...........................980 Gil
Lightning Staff....................1200 Gil
Oak Staff..........................2400 Gil
Mythril Fork.......................4700 Gil
Mythril Armlet......................500 Gil
Lamia's Tiara.......................800 Gil
Ritual Hat.........................1000 Gil
Adaman's Vest......................1600 Gil
Magician Cloak.....................1850 Gil
When you're ready, head out of Conde Petie, and run south of it and enter
the Southeast Forest. To find it, head south of Conde Petie, and near the
ocean. Now head east through the brush, until you find the green forest
towards the end of the forested area. Once you enter, you'll spot the
Black Mage run off to the right. Now follow the signs in the forest where
an owl sits. If he flys away as you run down a path, then that means that
you are running in the correct direction, which you can find out by reading
the sign in the middle of the fork in the road, and follow the direction
that says "Where there are no Owls". Continue to do this until you spot
the Black Mage, so chase him.
As you enter the village, everyone in your party runs off somewhere else, and
you're left with a few ATEs to keep you company:
Life On The Run
Gourmand's Nose
Everyday Life (And many more...)
Enter the Weapon Shop to Zidane's right, and purchase whatever you need in
weaponry and/or armor. Now head to the north, and onto the next screen.
Run across the bridge and enter the Inn, and search the bed for some Virgo.
Exit the Inn, and enter the Medicine Shop across from it, and search the
bookshelf for some Ether, then do some shopping if you need to. Now exit
out of the Medicine Shop, to the south. Run to the left, and enter the
next door, and you'll find Dagger here. Speak to her, and she runs off
to find Vivi. This is the Synth Shop, so be sure to get some goodies before
leaving:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires 2 Mage Mashers)....................700 Gil
Exploda (Requires Mage Masher, Mythril Dagger).......1000 Gil
Rune Tooth (Requires 2 Mythril Daggers)..............2000 Gil
Cotton Robe (Requires Wrist, Steepled Hat)...........1000 Gil
Silk Robe (Requires Silk Shirt, Bandana).............2000 Gil
Desert Boots (Requires Leather Hat, Leather Shirt.....300 Gil
Yellow Scarf (Requires Feather Hat, Steepled Hat).....400 Gil
Glass Buckle (Requires Glass Armlet, Leather Wrist)...500 Gil
Germinas Boots (Requires Desert Boots, Fork)..........900 Gil
Cachusha (Requires Magus Hat, Rubber Helm)...........1000 Gil
Coral Ring (Requires Lightning Staff, Rod)...........1200 Gil
Gold Choker (Requires Linen Cuirass, Soft)...........1300 Gil
Magician Shoes (Requires Germinas Boots, Bone Wrist..1500 Gil
Barette (Requires Needle Fork, Barbut)...............1800 Gil
Power Belt (Requires Glass Buckle, Chain Mail).......2000 Gil
Madain's Ring (Requires Bone Wrist, Stardust Rod)....3000 Gil
Fairy Earrings (Requires Magic Armlet, Soft).........3500 Gil
Reflect Ring (Requires Anklet, Madain's Ring)........7000 Gil
The Rune Tooth weapon is a very good deal, since it's the most powerful
weapon you can get for Zidane so far in the game.
As you exit the Synth Shop, run left, and watch as Vivi runs past you. Enter
the area he came from, and speak to the two Mages here, then run the way
that Vivi ran off to earlier. On the first screen, head to the northeast, and
to the outside of a hut with Mogryo the Moogle. Use him to save your game,
then enter the hut. Speak to the Mages who are guarding a chocobo egg from
the hungry Quina Qu, and search the room to get some Gysahl Greens. Now
run back to the Inn to find Vivi.
Speak to him inside of the Inn, then rest when Dagger comes in. Watch the
cut-scenes, then after they all end, you learn that you have to reach
the Northwest area of the Outer Continent. Before you leave the village,
return to the Synth Shop, and climb the ladder inside. Once outside,
run to the north, and then to the right to find a hidden chest with 843
Gil! Also while you are here, stock up on tons of Hi-Potions, and sell
all of your normal Potions. Also, you can find a hidden chest inside of
the Synth Shop, with 2000 Gil inside! Return to Conde Petie.
Once you are back here, head to the area guarded by Richard Watchman. To get
here, simply locate the Medicine Shop, and head through the northern exit.
Speak to him, and he tells you to find "His Holiness". To find him, simply
run to the Inn, and you will find him (David Heavenguard) outside of the
Inn. Speak to him to learn that only a married couple may pass by the
guarded area. Dagger agrees to tie the knot with Zidane, and off you both
go.
Watch the funny ceremony, and either choose to go and see the twins at
the gate, or to have Quina and Vivi get married (this is not required,
since Vivi and Quina join you anyways). Head to the guards, and they'll
let you through, but not before a thief runs by, and out of the town.
When you regain control of Zidane, run forward, and into the next area.
As you first enter here, you'll find the little thief hanging alone on a
branch, since her Mog ran away. Quina runs off too, and you get to now
name Eiko, and she joins your party. Right when you take control of Zidane,
equip Eiko with the proper equipment, as well as some good Accessories,
so she can learn some abilities. Now run to where Eiko was hanging earlier,
then climb up the vine, and open the chest for a Remedy. Now run to the
right, and onto the next screen. Once you reach the stone statue, take
out the Blue Stone. Now go back to where you began.
Run the way Quina ran off to (to the right), and onto the next screen. Head
up the vine to the north right away, and run left and open the chest to get
a Tent. Check the stone statue here, and take the Red Stone. Go back down
the vine, and head right again. On the next screen, head up the northern
ramp, and speak to the Gold Moogle, and buy a set of Magic Tag, Tent, and
Ether for 666 Gil. Give Suzuna a letter if you have one, then save your
game and use a Tent. Head to the southwest path, up the ladder, then to
the right, running along the giant roots.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HILGIGARS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This guy may seem very powerful, but he's actually rather easy to defeat, just
as long as you use the proper tactics. First off, use Dagger to cast Protect
and Shell on as many party members as you can, then use her to summon Ramuh
during the fight. Use Zidane to attack him at first, but as you weaken
Hilgigars, use Zidane to steal items like Phoenix Downs and Fairy Flute
from him. Be sure to use Eiko to cast Float on the party, as well as her
Phoenix summon, which is very potent. Vivi's Slow and Thundara attacks work
well against Hilgigars too.
After the fight, take the Yellow Stone from the statue, then head right. At
the next fork, head to the bottom path, and take the Green Stone from the
statue here, and take the Ether from the chest too. Return to the fork, and
take the other path. Continue north until you exit this area, and you are
back on the World Map. Run forward, and enter the next town.
Once you enter Eiko's home, you'll see that she keeps several Moogles as
pets, but Mog is her favorite one. She'll ask Zidane TONS of questions, and
go to prepare dinner. After she does this, head to the northeast path. Here
you'll find Quina and a Moogle, blocking off a restricted area. Return back
a screen, and an automatic ATE will begin, and it requires you to help
Eiko cook a good meal. Choose whatever you wish, and go to the left path,
and speak to Vivi. Attempt to enter the kitchen, and you are not allowed
to enter, since dinner is not ready yet. The Moogle will take you to Eidolon
wall if you follow him, so do so.
When you reach the "Eiko's Kitchen" ATE, select 12 people to cook for. When
it ends, go back to where you found Quina earlier, and you'll learn about
the Eidolon Wall. Go back to the main area of the town (where the fountain
is), and search the southern region for a hidden chest with a Tent. Take
it, then go to the entrance of the town to find Dagger. View the wall, then
return back to the kitchen area, and a ATE will begin (Eiko's Kitchen 2).
Go to the kitchen to have a meal, and to watch a cut-scene. Search the
chest here for an item, then carry the pot into the kitchen for Eiko.
Now just watch the next few cut-scenes, and head back outside. When you do,
you'll be offered to rest up, so do this, then head back to the entrance of
the town. Watch the next cut-scenes, and you'll convince Eiko to go with
you to the Iifa Tree. When you exit back onto the World Map, take this
time to search around and level up as much as you can, since the Iifa Tree
is hard, and there are a few tough boss fights coming up. Another good
idea is to SELL all of your normal Potions, and purchase as many Hi-Potions
as you can, then equip the Auto-Potion ability to as many characters as
you can. This way, when they use an Auto-Potion in battle, you'll heal
them 450 HP instead of a measly 150 HP. Also, be sure to have Eiko learn
Auto-Regen, and Fenrir, as well as High-Tide. Make sure Dagger has learned
High Tide and Chemist, too.
When you are all ready, head back to the Mountain Path, and make your way
north, and onto the World Map, then run forward to the giant Iifa Tree.
When you first enter the Iifa Tree, you'll find that you need to break a seal
outside it. What you need to do is have Eiko break it for you, and she'll
receive the Ruby. Equip this accessory to her right now, then run forward, and
enter the Iifa Tree. Run north along the branches until you reach a Moogle
(Mocchi). Give him a letter if you have one, then save your game with the
little guy. Now continue forward a few screens until you reach the elevator
which takes you down to the center of the tree. (Have Zidane step on it to
activate it).
When you reach the inside of the tree, run down along the branches, being
sure to check each little side-branch that have chests. You should first
hit the switch on the second-lower branch to the right, and a chest will
drop down. Open the chest for a Phoenix Down, then continue your way
down the tree. Along the way down, you'll find a few chests containing:
- Hi Potion
- Ether
- Lamia's Flute (weapon for Eiko, so equip it)
- Remedy
Search the area for the chests (they're very easy to find, since they don't
require much searching to find), until you reach a green leafed area, and
a leaf-elevator. Your party will step on it, and ride it down to the bottom
of the tree.
As you ride down, you'll have to fight a few battles with some enemies, but
after a while, you'll end up at the bottom of the tree. Your party will run
off, so search the area for two chests. One is at the bottom of the ramp, and
it holds an Elixer, and there is one hidden behind the center region, and is
hidden. It holds the Brigandine armor for Zidane, so equip it to him right
away. When you are ready, examine the left-most part of the area, and when
you see a "?" above Zidane, hit [X] to activate something. Run up and check
with Dagger, and a new enemy will enter the frey.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOULCAGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle can either be very hard or pretty easy. Be warned though, since
at least 2 of your party members will be KO'd, so have Eiko's Phoenix summon
ready to revive them. Have all of your party member's Auto-Potion abilities
on, and have Eiko's Auto-Regen ability on, too. Use Vivi to cast Bio and Fira,
and have Zidane mainly attack physically for the whole fight. Have Eiko heal
and use summons, and have Dagger use her Ramuh summon, and heal also. If you
can, try to steal with Zidane, but you'll probably be too busy attacking and
healing to try it.
When the boss dies, you'll have to head back to Madain Sari, so go back to
the World Map, and make your way through the Mountain Path, and back to Madain
Sari.
Once back here, run to Eiko's house, and search the kitchen for any items
that you might have missed, like the hidden chest behind the table, which
holds a Phoenix Pinion. Run through the outside kitchen, down the stairs,
and enter the doorway underneath the kitchen, near where all of the Moogles
are.
Inside here, watch the cut-scenes, then when you take control of Zidane again,
open the chest for a Survival Vest, then exit this room. Now run to the
Eidolon Wall, and speak with the Moogles to find out that Lani has taken
Eiko hostage. Have the Moogle restore your MP and HP, then choose to save
Eiko. Watch the cut-scene, then fight the new Red-Haired man one-on-one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AMARANT:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fight is really easy, even though Amarant can be decieving. Simply
attack him a few times (have Auto-Potion on), then when he retreats,
wait for him to say "Here I go!" and run back in the fight, then attack
him a few more times. Repeat this until the fight ends.
After the fight, return to the spot where you talked with Eiko earlier
near the kitchen, and you'll get the Memory Earring from Eiko. Watch
the cut-scenes, then exit the room. Rest up with the Moogle in the
kitchen if you wish, then head outside. When you see a "!" above
Zidane's head, press [X], and you'll hear Dagger's song. Watch the
lengthy cut-scenes, and eventually, you'll have Amarant join your party
at the entrance of Madain Sari, then you can choose your party. Choose
whatever party you want to, but be sure to have both Eiko and Amarant
in it, so you can level them up right away, and teach them some abilities.
When you are prepared, return to the Iifa Tree.
Once back here, make your way to the tree, and Zidane as well as the rest of
the party will make their way up to the top of the tree. Watch the cut-scenes
as the story advances, and you'll be forced into a small boss fight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISTODON(S):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fight is very easy, but it can become troublesome, since there are
two of these guys. They're weak against fire, so use Vivi to cast either
Fira or Bio (Bio works better), and have either Eiko or Dagger (whoever
you have with you) to use a summon spell, then use Zidane and Amarant to
use physical attacks.
Watch the even MORE cut-scenes that follow, and when you take over as
Zidane again, run north to find a hidden Moogle, and save your game.
Save it, then run south down the branch. Once you start running, keep
running WITHOUT stopping, because there are Mistodon's chasing you.
If you go fast enough, you can get to the bottom of the tree by only
fighting once. At the bottom, Dagger will summon Leviathan to help
her mother, but it will only do worse. She'll also get the Aquamarine,
which allows her to summon Leviathan at anytime. Now just watch the amazing
FMVs that follow, and save your game when it asks you to, then switch discs to
Disc 3!
This is your return to Alexandria. You'll watch as the Princess, Steiner, Dr.
Tot, and Beatrix head into the castle, then as Zidane stays at the pub for
a while, while the rest of his gang goes off to watch Ruby's show. Marcus and
Blank meet up with Vivi outside of the pub, and this is where you will begin
the 3rd Disc.
Head right, and into the main part of the city. Talk to Hippaul's mother down
the street to learn that her son, Hippaul, plays too many card games, and
he needs excerise. Agree to race him, and play the game where you must press
[Square] and [Circle] back and forth to race. If you do this twice, you'll
get the Wyerd Card. Get Hippaul to Level 20 to get a Carrion Worm Card, and
so on. Head south and into the main square of town. Search the lower-left hand
area of the screen to find a hidden Zombie Card. Check the northern part of
the square (where you can't see Vivi because of the statue), and search the
area for a Lizard Man Card. Now check the area to the northwest to find the
Sahagin Card. Now return to the Pub, and speak with the bartender to learn
that your friends went to the mini-theater. Exit the pub, and go left.
On the next screen, you can find Doug's Item Shop:
Potion................050 Gil
Hi-Potion.............200 Gil
Phoenix Down..........150 Gil
Echo Screen...........050 Gil
Soft..................100 Gil
Antidote..............050 Gil
Eye Drops.............050 Gil
Remedy................300 Gil
Annoyntment...........150 Gil
Tent..................800 Gil
Stock up on plenty of Hi-Potions and whatever else you are low on, then exit
the shop. Head north and into the second square of Alexandria. Talk with the
surrounding people, and you'll even find a Flower Girl to speak to...
Anywho, stop by the surrounding shops (Weapon, Synth Shop, which are right
next to each other...very convienient). Be sure to synth some new armor, and
the Angel Bless weapon. Head north to the dock area, with the two Alexandrian
guards, then search the northwestern stairway to get a Phoenix Pinion, then
search the northeastern stairway to get 3927 Gil! Return back a screen, and
head west to the ally, and decline Blank's request to see Ruby's play, and
continue south. On the next screen, enter the first house on the left, and
search the corner to the left of the table to get some Eye Drops, then exit
the house. Now enter the door below it to find 3 Moogles. Give Kupo a letter
if you have one, then climb up the ladder. Pull the rope at the top, and a
chest will drop. Open it to get Hippaul's treasure, Ironite Card, Goblin Card,
Fang Card, Shiva Card, and Ramuh Card! What a deal!
Climb back down the ladder, and search the eastern part of this room for a
Potion. Now return to the ally where Blank and Marcus are, and agree to see
the play with them.
Run down the stairs, and begin to watch the play. As this starts, you'll
watch a cut-scene with Steiner, Dagger, Tot, and Beatrix. Tot gives Dagger
an Opal, a Topaz, and an Amethyst item. These are great, since they allow
Dagger to summon more eidolons. Also, after that ends, another cut-scene
continues, which shows Eiko talking to Dr. Tot. When you take over as Eiko,
run north, and she'll get knocked over by Baku. He'll deliver the letter to
Zidane.
When you take over as Zidane, head to the left of the Pub, and run to the dock
area near the square (where you found over 3000 Gil). Here is where you will
meet up with Freya and Armarant once more. After watching the cut-scene, head
on the boat that comes for you. Search the dock at the castle to get an Ether
and a Phoenix Pinion. Go left and enter the inner area here to find another
Phoenix Pinion, then return to the dock, and head to the north this time.
You'll find that Steiner has kicked Eiko out of the castle for being annoying,
but Vivi asks if they can see Dagger, so he agrees. After a long line of cut-
scenes, everyone decides to head to Treno, for the Card Tournament.
Upon entering Treno, your party splits up to go sightseeing, and Dr. Tot
reccommends that you go off and register for the card tournament, since it
is the last day for it. When you get the "How He Ended Up Here" ATE, choose
for Vivi to visit home. Head to Queen Stella's house, and trade in these
Stellazzios for some items:
Virgo: Phoenix Pinion.
Taurus: 2000 Gil
Now head off to the King's Mansion auction house, which lies south of Queen
Stella's house. When the "City People" ATE occurs, Eiko will get the
Chimera Armlet that the Four-Armed Man drops. Enter the auction house, and
bid on a few items, but be sure to get the Dark Matter item, because it
is very rare. I suggest entering the Weapon Shop, and fighting the monster.
If you win (which is easy if you have the Angel Bless weapon on Zidane; you
can kill him in about 2-3 hits), you will get 15,000 Gil! If you really want
to make some cash, find the Treno citizens, and they'll offer to buy the
items you bought in the auction. If you refuse their offer at first, they
will rise their offer. But the good thing about this is that you can always
re-purchase whatever you sold back at the auction. I don't recommend selling
the Dark Matter though, since it's the best item you can get. Head to the
Card Stadium now, and enter it to start the tournament (NOTE: You can buy
four cards from the Card Seller outside of the stadium; Goblin Card, Flan
Card, Skeleton Card and a Fang Card for 100 Gil each.).
Card Game Tournament
First Round
Opponent: Attic Man Wake
Difficulty: Medium
For this battle, use as 1P, 2P, 1M and 2M cards.
Card Game Tournament
Second Round
Opponent: Cardona Bishop
Difficulty: Medium/Hard
For this battle, use cards with good defense (lots of arrows), and use ones
that are 1P, 2P, 1M and 2M, and higher if you can, but try not to lose
rare, powerful cards, because you will need them.
Now you can challenge the champion, but before doing so, go find the Moogle
near the Weapon Shop, and save your game. Now go back to the tournament
when you are ready.
Card Game Tournament
Final Round
Opponent: Sailor Erin
Difficulty: Hard
This is an easy fight if you use cards with good defense, and ones that are
1M, 2M, 3M, 2P, 3P, or even 4P. Just place your cards well, and you should
be able to win with ease.
If you win, you will get your pick from a few Oglop Cards, and you will get
the Rebirth Ring. After the fight, you will find that you have beaten
Erin, the pilot of the Hilde Garde 2 airship, which can fly without Mist.
Regent Cid is with her, saying that the ship can't go very fast, but they
made it to Treno. After the talk with Cid, Eiko runs in, and tells about
something terrible happening to Alexandria.
After watching the phat-ass FMV showing Bahamut blowing up Alexandria's small
houses, you'll take over as Dagger, making an important decision. Assign
different tasks to different sets of knights, then begin to save the
citizens of Alexandria with Steiner and Beatrix. You will have to fight
in a battle in each area of Alexandria, which is about 7 fights. You can get
around 1274 EXP from a single Mistodon, so you can level up quickly here. To
beat them, simply use normal attacks from each of the two soldiers, and
use Beatrix's Climhazzard ability when you are fighting the two Mistodons
at once.
After the fights end, you will regain control of Dagger. Run up the stairs,
then head south on the balcony. Now go left and up the stairs, and through
the northern doors. Run to the left again, and run up the stairs and through
the door. Now make your way up the stairs, past the knight statues that
block your route back down with their swords once you pass them by. Once
outside, a FMV shows the castle changing, so head up the stairs, then continue
your way up the stairs until you reach the roof with the eyeball in the center.
Watch the cut-scene, and as Eiko jumps off the airship, and begins a bitchin'
FMV sequence that doesn't end right away.
When you take control of Zidane, head to where Dagger and Eiko are, and if
you wish to, save the people in the castle along the way. Once at the top,
the game takes over, and you'll watch as Alexandria is destroyed by a strange
man, who seems to be even more powerful than Kuja...
Once you get into Lindblum with Zidane, open the chest near the bed to get
the Egoist's Armlet, then climb the stairs and open the chest near the Moogle
to get an Elixer. Now save your game with the Moogle. Try to leave the guest
room, and Blank enters, and will tell you where Dagger is. Exit the room, and
head to the elevator, and ride up to the [Upper Level]. At the top, run north
through the doorway, then run through the lower path, in between the two sets
of stairs, to find your party in the next room. They'll tell you that Cid wishes
to meet you in the Royal Chamber, so leave the room, and head up the stairs,
and enter the double doors at the top. The meeting will start in the conference
room, so watch the cut-scenes and the ATEs. When you take control of Zidane, run
back to the guest room to find Dagger.
After finding out that you need to find the Unusual Potion, Beautiful Potion,
and the Strange Potion, and they have to be mixed at a 5:2:3 ratio, exit the
Castle by heading down to the Airship area, and ride to the [Theater District].
Enter the Artist's house along the way, and search the area near the stairs
to find the Strange Potion after speaking to the artist. Check the chest in
here to get a Lapis Lazuli. Now head to the clock tower, and Cinna will
get the Unusual Potion for you to borrow. Go back to the clock tower, and
enter it. Search the various chests to get 970 Gil, 4826 Gil, and 1273 Gil!
Return to the airship area, and fly to the [Business District]. Head to the
Inn, and give Moodon a letter if you have one.
Head north to the town square, and enter the house directly to the north,
and search the two chests for an Elixer, and a Remedy. Now head to the next
screen to the northeast, and speak to Alice outside of her shop, and ask
about the Potion. She'll give you the Beautiful Potion. Now do some shopping
at the Weapon/Item and Synth Shops:
Butterfly Sword (Requires Dagger, Mage Masher)........300 Gil
The Ogre (Requires 2 Mage Mashers)....................700 Gil

Now with all three Potions in your sweaty palms, return to the Throne Room
in the Lindblum Castle. Everyone decides to go to the Black Mage Village,
so head down to the [Base Level], and hop aboard the Blue Narciss (you
have to ride the trolly to Serpent's Gate). Once at the gate, you'll find
a chest with a Chimera Armlet, so take it, then head to the dock, and board
the airship.
On the ship, you meet Quina again, and you get to choose your party. I suggest
taking along those members who need to level up, like Quina, Freya, and Steiner.
Choose your party, then control the Blue Carciss:
- Blue Narciss Controls -
[X]: Forward
[TRIANGLE]: Return to the deck
[SQUARE]: Reverse
[CIRCLE]: Disembark
[SELECT]: Switch navigation map
[L1, L2]: Camera Control
[L2]: Align Camera
[R2]: Switch perspective
Fly all the way to the northern continent, and head to the shore that is south
of Black Mage Village, and run through the forest, and enter the Village.
Right when you enter the village, Vivi runs off and leaves you. Run into the
Item shop to find that nobody is there, so the ladder behind the counter is
now available to you. Climb up it, then hop on the bed, and open the hanging
chest to get a Black Belt. Head to the cemetery, and speak with Black Mage
No. 288. Run to the house where the two mages watch a chocobo hatch, and
where Vivi goes. Watch the next few cut-scenes, then exit back onto the World
Map, and return to your ship. Head north of the Outer Continent, until you
reach a sandy beach. Run on it, and find four sandholes. Enter the one furthest
from you, and more to the north than the others. If you try to enter any other
one, you'll just end up in a battle with a monster.
Once you fall into the hole, you'll find out that you've been trapped by Kuja,
in his home lair. He'll say that he'll let you and your friends go if you
do him a favor, so agree. Walk outside, then south to the two Black Mages,
and you will be transported to Kuja himself. He'll ask you to get the Gulug
Stone for him from Oeilvert, a place with an anti-magic barrier around it. He
doesn't want to go himself for this very reason. When he asks you to choose
a party, I suggest taking along Amarant, Steiner and Quina, since they don't
rely heavily on magic (Oeilvert has an anti-magic barrier, remember?).
Watch as your party is summoned, then transported to the dock where the Hilde
Garde 1 lies. Run to the right, and up the stairs, then run to the left, and
to the ship itself, and board it.
Once you have landed in the Forgotten Continent, you'll appear on the World
Map there right away. Activate your mini-map on your screen, then head
to the south through the canyons. Once in the first part of the canyons, head
west, and the sky should start to turn darker (a darker shade of orange), which
means that it's turning to nighttime, and you are heading in the correct
direction. Eventually, the path should start to spiral, and become linear.
After a while, you will reach a new beach. From there, head west some more,
and enter the next canyon, which also spirals around. Follow it, and you
will reach Oeilvert in no time.
Right away, you will meet a Moogle (Mimoza). Speak to him to go shopping, to
save your game, and to deliver his letter to Mooel the Moogle:
Diamond Sword..................4700 Gil <---
Trident........................3580 Gil \

***LARGE NOTE***:
THIS AREA CONTAINS ENEMIES KNOWN AS EPITAPHS. THESE STONE-LIKE ENEMIES
CAN BE STRONG AT TIMES, BUT IF YOU BATTLE THEM RIGHT, YOU CAN GAIN
TONS OF EXPERIENCE POINTS FROM EACH BATTLE:
7000+ EXP. FROM A BATTLE WITH ALL 4 OF YOUR PARTY MEMBERS ALIVE
9000+ EXP. " " " " JUST 3 " " " " "
14000+ EXP " " " " " 2 " " " " "
30000+ EXP " " " " " 1 " " " " "
YA CATCH MY DRIFT? SO IF YOU FIGHT THE FIGHT WITH ONLY ONE CHARACTER
LIVING AT THE END, YOU CAN GAIN SEVERAL LEVELS WITHIN JUST A FEW
BATTLES. THE CATCH? WELL, THEY CAN CAST MIRROR, WHICH "MIRROR"'S
ONE OF YOUR PARTY MEMBERS (NOT NECESSARILY ONE IN YOUR CURRENT
PARTY, THOUGH), AND IT WILL CAST MIRROR A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES IN
THE BATTLE, ONCE AFTER EACH TIME YOU HIT IT OR STEAL FROM IT. THE
MORE MIRROR IMAGES YOU FACE, THE MORE EXP YOU CAN GAIN. BUT TO MAKE
THE BATTLE EVEN EASIER, SIMPLY EQUIP JELLY, LEVEL-UP, AND ABILITY-
UP. JELLY MAKES THE EPITAPH'S ONLY ATTACK, PETRIFY, UN-USABLE.
SO HERE IS HOW YOU SHOULD FIGHT HIM:
- ATTACK ONCE TO BRING ON THE MIRROR
- KILL MIRROR IMAGE
- ATTACK AGAIN TO BRING ON SECOND MIRROR
- KILL SECOND MIRROR IMAGE
- ATTACK ONCE MORE TO BRING LAST MIRROR
- KILL LAST MIRROR
- KILL EPITAPH
I SUGGEST KILLING OFF TWO OF YOUR CHARACTERS, THEN FIGHTING
THE BATTLE WITH ONLY 2 CHARACTERS, THAT WAY, IF IT CLONES ONE OF
YOUR CHARACTERS, THE OTHER WILL NOT BE CLONED (IT CLONES THE SAME
MEMBER CONSISTANTLY THROUGHOUT THE BATTLE). AND IF YOU SURVIVE
THE FIGHT WITH EITHER 1 OR 2 MEMBERS, YOU CAN GET ANYWHERE FROM
14000-40000 EXP FOR EACH FIGHT!!! BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE
AUTO-POTION AND JELLY ABILITIES ON, OR ELSE THIS METHOD MIGHT NOT
WORK, AND YOUR CHARACTERS WILL EITHER DIE OFF, OR BECOME PETRIFIED.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST STAYING HERE FOR A FEW HOURS, AND LEVEL UP YOUR
CHARACTERS UNTIL THEY ARE AROUND THE LEVEL 50-60 RANGE, THEN MOVING
ON. THIS ALSO WORKS WONDERS FOR LEARNING ABILITIES, SINCE YOU LEARN
THEM MUCH QUICKER HERE. ENJOY!!!!
Equip the most powerful weapons on your party members, then continue north.
Enter the large doors, and go inside. Head north once inside to find a chest
with a Remedy, then climb the stairs next to it, and go right to find another
chest, this one with a Rising Sun item. Now go back down the stairs, and enter
the door to the left. Inside here, open the southern chest to get a Diamond
Sword (crap, shouldn't have bought that one from the Moogle...oh well, it's
great for Amarant to throw in a boss fight...). Open the northern chest for
a Shield Armor. Go back a screen, and go back up the stairs, but now go left,
and onto the next screen. Open the chest for an Elixer, then check out the
globe, and make it red. Go back downstairs, and re-enter the room to the left.
As you walk past the center of the room, a hologram will appear, and so will
a short cut-scene. When it ends, go down the southern stairs, and in the
room with two flaming torches near some stairs. Check out the chest to the
right to get a Power Vest, then run up the stairs to find two yellow
floor lights, and a chest with some Feather Boots. Now run to the light
on the floor to the far-left, then activate it. This is the ANCIENT SHIP.
Now continue to activate the next 3 hologram projectors in this room in
a clockwise fashion. Once done, climb the stairs again, and head out the left
exit. Run across the large archway to the left, until you reach another globe.
Check it out, and watch the cinema. Now when it ends, continue to the right,
onto the next screen, then through the blue door that unlocks for you.
Watch the weird cut-scene, then exit the room, and pass through the hologram
room, and re-enter the first main room. In the main room, head to the right,
and enter the doorway. At this time, equip the Clear Headed and Jelly abilities
to your party, as well as Auto-Potion, and your strongest weapons and armor.
Save your game with the Moogle, then head right some more, open the chest
for the Gaia Gear, and through the next area. When a hologram appears, watch
it, then head through the next door. Step on the rear platform, and you will
be taken wayyy down to the bottom of this area, where you can find the Gulug
Stone. Attempt to take it, and a boss fight begins.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARK
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For this battle, you'll need to use as many weapons and abilities as you
can. Start off by stealing with Zidane, and try to get the Holy Lance
weapon. Use Quina or Freya to heal the party when required, and be sure
to have a Phoenix Down or two ready. Have Steiner use the Power Break attack,
as well as just normal physical attacks. Amarant should use his throw
ability and toss some EXTRA weapons (extra meaning ones where you have
1 or more lying around), which causes some good damage. If you need to
replentish MP, use his Chakara ability to replentish MP of a character.
This guy has tons of HP, so keep up your attacks unrelentlessly until
he dies off.
When the fight ends, take the Gulug Stone that you've been dying to get,
and watch as you are transported back to Kuja's home.
When you take over as Cid, hop south to the platform, then go right, and
into the room to start a small mini-game. Here, you'll have to get
past the giant red beast without him seeing you. To do this, you have
to press circle many times to take just a few steps. Press it as fast
as you can while he's looking away, then stop when you hear his noise.
You only have six minutes to do this, then set the weight on the scale
and turn the hourglass, so be quick about it. If you get caught, you'll
have to start over. Once you have the key, place the Clay, Stone, and
Iron weights on the scale, then choose to climb on the scale, and
Cid will turn the hourglass over.
When you take over as Eiko, run into the right-hand room again, and
save your game with the Moogle. Leave the room, and this time, go
left, and onto the next screen, and up the stairs. Light the candle
to your left, then watch as a bloodstone activates to the right.
Check it out, and take the Promist Ring. Equip this to Vivi right
away so he can learn the abilities, then run up the stairs. Examine
the statues to the right of the stairs, then attempt to go to the
left exit. Some clear stairs appear, so take them to the next area.
Run right, and light the candles here. Now go back a screen, and
run to the west. Run up the next stairs, and light the three
large candles, and watch as two mirrors dissappear. Run through
the new path, and take it to the north to re-enter the same
area, only now on the other side. Light the southwest candle here
to make the statues on the other side dissappear, and return there,
and light the two candles near the stairs (one on each side). Now
the other statues should dissappear, so run to the right, and
finish lighting the rest of the candles here. Run down the stairs,
and light the last candle here, and a bloodstone will appear
at the top of the stairs. Examine it to get the Anklet.
Now run through the new doorway to the right, and in the narrow
hallway, light the candle that is about halfway down on your
right, then examine the new bloodstone to get the Shield Armor.
Run to the end of this hallway, and run towards the screen, and
up the stairs. On the balcony here, light the first candle, then
run around the balcony, and enter the next room. In the library,
run to the far left, and light the candle to cause some stairs
to lower. Run up them, then run to the left again, and light
the next candle to reveal a hidden passage. Enter it to find the
Bloodstone containing a N-Kai Armlet. Take it, then return to the
library, and climb up the smaller set of stairs here. Run right
and light the candle, then head through the new passageway.
Run left up the stairs, and light the candle on the way up. At
the top, light the candle, then run back down the stairs, and
re-enter the library. At the bottom of the bookshelves, there
is a statue with an unlit candle near it. Light it, then head
through the newly opened path. Light the candle out here, then
go back, and run to the left, where the library has expanded.
Save your game with Mogsam if you wish to (it's recommended),
then run left.
On the next screen, there are two candles. Light them, take the Black
Hood from the new Bloodstone that lights up afterwards, then head
through the door, across the balcony, and onto the opposite balcony.
Light the next three candles here, and take the Venetia Shield from
the new bloodstone. Now put out the candle that is near the statue
of the angle, but the one that is to it's left. This will cause a
shadow to come up. Now run back across the balcony, and put out the
candle that is to the left of the demon statue here, and another
clear, crystal stairway will pop up. At this time, be sure to equip
the N-Kai Armlet to Vivi, so he can cast Water. Run up the next sets of
stairs, and at the top, light the last candle, and the defense system will
activate, causing a boss battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALIA PIRA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fight will be very easy if you have deactivated every Bloodstone in
the Desert Palace, since for each bloodstone you deactivate, the boss
loses an enchancement (a Magic enhancment, Defense, Magic Evade, etc...),
and therefore becomes weaker and easier to defeat. It's weak against
water, so use Vivi to cast Water on it, and use Dagger to cast her
Leviathan summon onto the boss as much as you can. You shouldn't need
to heal much in this fight, but if you do, use Eiko to heal, since she
has tons of healing spells at this time. This fight can also become
much easier (and more fun), if you toss a Tent onto the boss himself.
If successful, this will cause the boss to get poisoned, and become
cursed with darkness and become blind (Note: Only do this at the
beginning of the fight, or else you will heal him).
After the fight ends, light the candle once more, then hop into the
light portal that appears.
Once you regain control of Zidane, run off the ship, and back to Kuja's
room to give him the Gulug Stone. Watch as your friends are freed, but
as Kuja kidnaps Eiko, and runs off with the Gulug Stone. Run back
to the teleporter you arrived in, and take it. Once back near the
ship, run towards it to see that it's gone. Run off the screen to the
north, and watch the short cut-scene. Now hit the ground switch behind
you to lower a ladder, then climb down it. Head to the northwest, and
exit this area, and follow him on the Blue Narciss. Make a party that
has Zidane, Steiner, Amarant, and Vivi/Freya.
You'll land on the Lost Continent, and your goal here is to reach
Esto Gaza, which is to the west of where you land. I suggest running
a bit north to find the Chocobo tracks, and calling a chocobo to
get there faster.

Me- For making this FAQ! :p
Final Fantasy IX Instruction Booklet- I used the Status Effects info from the
book in my FAQ.
Dan Birlew/Squaresoft/Brady Games- I referred to his/their official strategy

attack power for a lot of the weapons in
my weapon/equipment lists, as well as some
of the equipment stats.
