I-WHY WRITE A FINAL FANTASY GUIDE?
There are a few inspirations that led me to decide to write a guide for
FFV. The first and most obvious reason is the fact no purely US version FAQ is
readily available; there are a few that relate to the Japanese translated ROM
but none for US PLAYSTATION RELEASE alone. Dingo Jellybean has a great
translated version but it uses the Japanese names and storyline from the SNES
ROM. With that in mind, the TRUE REASON I HAVE TO WRITE THIS IS BECAUSE I CANNOT
LIVE WITH THE FACT THERE IS A HERO NAMED "BUTZ". Yes, in the Japanese version
your hero, the guy who is to save the world, the one whose name will be
remembered for ages to come is named BUTZ. I hope this was just a terrible
translation. For crying out loud they named him after a pair of buttocks!! In
the American version they changed his name to BARTZ, which is not too much
better. It sounds like a type of imported European Beer. My suggestion is to
change his name immediately! No wonder your hero's only friend is a Chocobo!!
The taunts of "Bartz Fartz" must have made him a social outcast.
In any case, I wanted to write an FAQ that applied solely to the American
version without confusing the Japanese names and characters. This guide covers
only the US Playstation released on disk one of Final Fantasy Anthology.
************************************************************************
II-THE STORY OF FINAL FANTASY 5
************************************************************************
* Where does FFV fall in relation to the American games?*
Those lucky Japanese always get more games then we in America do and Final
Fantasy is no exception. When Final Fantasy 7 was released for the Playstation,
US gamers had to scratch their heads as to what happened to Final Fantasies 4-6.
In the US, we had Final Fantasy for the NES, Final Fantasy 2 for the SNES, Final
Fantasy 3 for the SNES, then Final Fantasy 7 for the PS. Here's how it worked
out in US to Japanese conversions:
Final Fantasy=Released for BOTH on the NES
Final Fantasy 2(jap only)=No US release
Final Fantasy 3 (jap) = Final Fantasy 2 US
Final Fantasy 4 (jap only)=No US release
Final Fantasy 5 (jap)=Final Fantasy 5 on the FF Anthology for the US
Final Fantasy 6 (jap)=Final Fantasy 3 US on the SNES and also Final Fantasy 6
for the FF Anthology
Final Fantasy 7=Released for BOTH on PS
Final Fantasy 8=Released for BOTH for PS
Why the two FF's released in Japan only is unknown. Perhaps at the time,
American gamers had not yet embraced the RPG to the point where it would have
profitable for Square. In any case that's the skinny on Final Fantasy Japanese
to US conversion charts.
*Storyline*
The game opens at an enormous castle with a dragon perched on a ledge.
Suddenly the King of Tycoon ( yup, another silly name) emerges. He is a man on a
mission! Instinct has told him he must go off to check on the Wind Crystal, of
which he is a Guardian. He warns his young daughter (who has also felt the
disturbance in the force) not to follow him and flies off to the Wind Crystal.
The scene then cuts to our hero, who is camped out in a field with his faithful
Chocobo named Boko. As he awakes from a night of sleeping face down on the
ground, a huge crashing noise can be heard. A giant meteor has plummeted from
the sky above and scarred the land with its presence. When our hero goes to
investigate he finds two people unconscious in front of the space faring
boulder. One is a girl and one is an old man. Fighting off a few weak goblins,
he and Boko bring the two to safety. Upon their awakening, you get to name your
hero (we'll call him Bartz for ease of keeping track) and discover the girl was
following her father to the palace of the Wind Crystal. The old man remember
nothing other than his name and that he had to get to the Wind crystal for some
reason.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the girl and old man decide to
journey on to the palace and Bartz and Boko continue on their way. But wouldn't
you know it, the old man and the girl get in trouble again and Bartz has to save
them. This time Bartz decides to travel to the Wind Crystal because he has felt
the same draw as the others--and he has the hots for the girl! So off they go...
*Characters*
Unlike other Final Fantasy games, there are no pre-set duties for your
characters. The intricate "Job system" (more below) enables any character to
become any profession at any time. The result is you can have your females be
strong fighters, your hero be a puny magic user, or your old man a mighty monk.
The choice is yours! Change professions many times to create a band of balanced
warriors! Each character has some connection to the Crystals. (don't ask me what
happened to the ORBS OF LIGHT because I have no idea! No one ever said the FF
games had much to do with one another!)
BARTZ- This poorly named fellow survived being the "Butz" of many jokes by
having his named mercifully changed in the US version. While traveling the
land ( one of his dead father's wishes) he comes across the meteor that
triggered the destruction of the Wind Crystal. Essentially you are Bartz and I
highly suggest you change his name.
COMES EQUIPPED WITH: Broadsword--Leather Armor--Memento
STARTING STATS: Vigor 28 (highest of group), Speed 25, Stamina 27, Mag. Power
25, Bat. Power 3.
REINA-FF likes to have a lot of "R" named women, huh? Rinoa, Relm, Rydia etc.
Reina is one of the daughters of the King of Tycoon. She disobeys her father's
orders to stay behind and pursues him to the Wind Shrine. A meteor almost
squishes her, BARTZ saves her and we have a game in progress! Out of reflex I
made her my strong White Magic and Summon user.
COMES EQUIPPED WITH: Knife--Leather Armor--Pendant
STARTING STATS: Vigor 25, Speed 26, Stamina 25, Mag. Power 28 (highest of
group), Bat. Power 3.
GALUF-Filling the void of "feisty old man" we have Galuf. He is the bridge
between the older Final Fantasy games and this one. He gets knocked silly by the
meteor but quickly recalls his name and his purpose. Instinct makes you want to
create Galuf as your black mage, but he serves well in any role.
COMES EQUIPPED WITH: Leather Armor
STARTING STATS: Vigor 27, Speed 24, Stamina 28 ( highest of group), Mag. Power
24, Bat. Power 3.
FARIS-A foul mouthed cross dressing pirate, Faris is Reina's long lost sister.
How she can fool a whole group of pirates into thinking she is a man is beyond
me but she does! When the wind crystal is destroyed and the wind stops, her ship
is able to travel with the aid of her pet sea monster HYDRA. Essentially she is
Peppermint Patty meets Boyz in da Hood.
COMES EQUIPPED WITH: Dirk--Leather Shield-- Leather Armor
STARTING STATS: Vigor 27, Speed 27 (highest in group), Stamina 26, Mag. Power
26, Bat. Power 3.
KRILE-Joins your party later in the game. She is Galuf's Granddaughter and has a
lot of animal friends, including Moogles and Dragons. Her stats will depends on
certain events...
So there is your Motley Crew. The job system will determine what armor and
weapons your characters can use, so that will be next.
************************************************************************
IV-WALKTHROUGH*
************************************************************************
WHERE IT ALL BEGINS or SETTING THE STAGE
Items to find: Phoenix Down
The game opens with you (BARTZ) waking up at a small campsite. As you and
your Chocobo groggily awake, a large disturbance can be heard nearby. It turns
out a huge meteor has plummeted from the sky and smashed into the land. Of
course, you must investigate. Hop on Boko the Chocobo and walk onto the meteor.
Once you arrive you find a girl near the meteor. Time to be chivalrous!! Easily
defeat the two goblins that you encounter and talk to the girl. Turns out this
little lass is named Reina and she was following her father to the WIND SHRINE,
where something bad has happened. As Reina brings you up to speed on the story
you hear the moaning of someone in the distance. Nope, it is not the BLAIRWITCH,
rather an old man who apparently has amnesia. It turns out his love affair with
Veronica has gone all wrong and while Blake was trying to get with Melissa,
Rebecca had his baby--on no wait, that's the plot line for DAYS OF OUR LIVES. In
FFV, this old man eventually remembers his name and his purpose. He is Galuf and
was heading to the Wind Shrine, but that is all he can remember. After getting
acquainted, you decline Reina and Galuf's offer to accompany them to the Wind
Shrine and return to your Chocobo. Before doing this, make sure to check the
bottom right hand of the meteor screen. You'll see a treasure chest containing a
PHOENIX DOWN. Wiggle your way through the darkened section to come to the
treasure. Claim it and return to Boko.
The only place you can ride old Boko is to the Northwest. As you enter the
path, you are comedically thrown from your giant chicken as Boko skids to an
abrupt halt. Turns out Boko used to work for the Psychic Network--and wouldn't
you know it, mere seconds after sensing "something wrong" an Earthquake rocks
the land. As you run through the canyon, you rescue Reina and Galuf once again,
battle a few goblins and find the way to the Shrine cut off. After a fun night
of camp songs and roasted marshmallows, you decide to finally join the two on
their quest to reach the Wind Shrine. The only way out is a mysterious cave that
opened up after the Earthquake. Save your game, say farewell to Boko, and enter
the cave.
ARGH MATEY! THE PIRATE COVE!
Items to find: Leather Hat, Healing Spring
Enemies: Stoper
Shortly after entering the cave you find the true source of Poland Spring
natural spring water. Even though it is no where near Maine, it will still
replenish your health. After you heal yourselves, you'll come across a lone
pirate in the cave. He hits a secret switch that opens a secret passage; of
course you have to follow him in! You are greeted by the Jolly Roger flag as you
enter, a dead give away this is a secret PIRATE COVE. After sneaking about and
claiming a leather cap, your group discusses the possibility of heisting a ship
to reach the WIND SHRINE. Against the odds, your group sneaks aboard the Pirate
ship. After snooping around a little, go to the steering wheel at the back of
the vessel. There, you will encounter Faris, the Captain of the ship and a
mighty salty dog. He is ready to make you landlubbers walk the plank when he
sees Reina's sparkling amulet and decides to have mercy. He throws the three of
you under the deck, where you have a strange argument while bound in ropes. A
little later, Faris frees the group much to their amazement. Furthermore, he
agrees to help getting to the WIND SHRINE. Although the Wind has died, Faris has
an ace in the hole: his pet Sea Dragon HYDRA!! The mighty beast pulls the ship
wherever it needs to go. As it turns out, a good place to go next is Tule
Village to the Northwest. Save your game and enter the town.
TULE VILLAGE: NOT TO BE MISTAKEN WITH THE BAND TOOL OR THE THULE CAR RACK
CARRYING SYSTEM
Items to find: Ether, Phoenix Down x2, Tonic x2, 100 GP, Tent x2, 150 GP,
Leather Shoes x2
Tule is a quaint village surrounded by pine trees. If you are unsure about
the basics of the game, the House of Learning can get you up to speed in no
time. The crates and barrels in the middle of town can be searched to find a
tonic and a tent. The barrel to the far right contains 150 gp. A bush near the
top of the screen reveals a PHOENIX DOWN and a path to the LEATHER SHOES. Check
the buildings for the rest of the items, none of which are hidden too well. Also
try your hand at the piano in the pub. You'll hear a little metronome and you'll
clunk out a few notes; it is a good idea to play the piano whenever you find
one. One day you'll grow up to be Yanni. Anyhow, learn of Zok, a friend of the
KING OF TYCOON. You know the drill: talk to everyone, get a bunch of info and
stock up. Once you again save, head to the WIND SHRINE, located to the far east.
THE WIND SHRINE (NOTE* THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOCATED ON THE SUMMIT OF MOUNT
WASHINGTON!)
Items to find: Tonic (5), Tent, Leather Cap, Broadsword, Staff
Finally, you have the means to get to the Wind Shrine! Since there are not
too many places to explore, it should not be too hard to find (it is up North
and to the east in the midst of a ring of dense forest, for those navigationally
challenged.) Upon entering you see a bunch of young blond men fretting nervously
about. No, they are not worried about the cancellation of the Young Republicans
meeting; it seems the King of Tycoon went to see what was shakin' on the higher
floors and has not yet returned. Before rushing off to the rescue, drink form
the Urn at the bottom left to restore your HP/MP and recover any status ailments
you may have. Speaking to the guards will also result in gaining five tonics for
your fine social skills. Once you are feeling fit, head up to find out what in
blazes is going on! There is a tent to be found on the second floor as well as a
save spot, which will help replenish your team if the battles are weakening
them. The third floor holds a sporty leather cap but more importantly a
broadsword. It can be found on the far left door after spiraling around the
perimeter of the level. There is also a very well hidden staff in the vine
covered room. It is easy to miss, but who cares? It's just a stupid staff,
right? Is this thing on?
Keep plugging your way upstairs until you encounter the WINGRAPTOR on the
fourth floor, your very first FFV boss (awwwwww!)
*************************************************************************BOSS
BATTLE: WINGRAPTOR
*Lv. 1
*250 HP
************************************************************************
Wingraptor is not too hard to defeat. Since you don't really have any
other options available, pound him with your weapons. I suppose you can taunt
your TV too. The broadsword is a superb weapon for eliminating his Hit points.
Wingraptor has two main attacks: when his wings are open, he'll fire AIRWING at
you. While it hits your whole party, it doesn't inflict a great amount of
damage. If his wings are closed and you attack him, he may counter with IRON
NAIL, which is stronger than AIR WING but not brutally punishing. After 250
points of damage, Wingraptor goes to that big aviary in the sky and more of the
story unfolds.
Reina finds out her Father has gone to some ethereal state between the
living and....well SOMETHING. After he ominously dissolves into thin air, you
get your first chance to harvest shards of a shattered crystal. With each
crystal you get, you will master a new profession. Just think of the costs we
could save if such crystals existed in real life?!! No college for me, I'm
buying a crystal at Wal-Mart for 5 bucks!! At this point, you learn KNIGHT,
MONK, BLUE MAGE, THIEF, BLACK MAGE, and WHITE MAGE. Since you have the know-how,
try each of them out. Unlike other Final Fantasies, magic plays more than a
supporting roll in FFV. Have a thief is a great asset to the impatient gamers of
the world, for the "O" button allows you to DASH about through towns and
dungeons. Check out the JOBS section for details on professions and abilities.
************************************************************************
BACK TO TULE: ZOK AWAITS!!
Items: same as before!
I guess with a name like "Zok"you have to either be a wise old man or a
sock puppet. While regaining your strength in Tule, make sure to pick up level 1
magic. Now that you have potential magic users, all six of these spells are
going to be useful. As always, chat with the locals. Don't forget to play your
best chops on the piano--your hero's enthusiasm is pretty funny! Also, if jobs
are befuddling you at this point visit the House of Learning to get a better
understanding of what you can and cannot do. After socializing visit the magic
Zok ( real name: Herman.) It seems he is the keeper of the canal but has "lost"
the key. Despite his absentmindedness, he offers you a place to stay for the
night. During the stay, BARTZ has a case of insomnia. As he paces about the
house he runs into Zok and they have a little heart to heart talk. It turns out
that filthy liar Zok had the CANAL KEY the whole time, but didn't want to
endanger REINA. He gives the key and then you knock him out and steal his wallet
for being a liar. Well not really, but at least you have the key to the Canal.
This means it is time to ship out of town!
TORNA CANAL: BETTER THAN A ROOT CANAL
Torna Canal leads to the city of Walz, where the water crystal resides. It
can be found south and a little east of the Wind Shrine. Since you have the key
that filthy liar dirtbag Zok gave you, unlock the gate and enter the canal.
Weeeee this is fun!! For about four seconds!! Out of nowhere, a whirlpool sucks
your ship into a boss fight. You also temporarily lose touch with Hydra, the
friendly sea monster who has been pulling your ship through the ocean. While
this is quite tragic, you have a boss to worry about.
*************************************************************************BOSS
BATTLE: KARL BOSS
*Lv. 5
*WEAKNESS: BOLT
*HP: 650
************************************************************************
Hopefully the funny looking Black Mage was an appealing job for you to
take on because his magic is very useful in this battle. Casting BOLT will knock
Karl's HP down quickly. It is good to have a MONK as well because they can
attack twice each round. If all goes well, you will defeat Karl Boss before he
can unleash the dirtiest sounding attack in any video game, the dreaded TAIL
SCREW. That's one thing you don't want your Mom to hear you talking on the phone
about! "Yeah, then Karl got me with the TAIL SCREW twice!! MAN did that HURT!"
And what kind of name is KARL BOSS? What's next? Robert the Demon? Andrew the
Prince of Darkness? Gregg the Grim Reaper? In any case, sink this seaborn sucker
and cruise onto the next section
************************************************************************
SHIP'S GRAVEYARD: SPENDING SOME TIME IN DAVY JONES' LOCKER
Items: Flail, Tent, 990 gp, Phoenix Down x 2, World Map, Antidote x 2, Tonic
(In case you were wondering, I'm currently listening to "AIR CONDITIONED
NIGHTMARE" by MR. BUNGLE as I type this)
With Hydra sucked into the churning waters, your ship has essentially lost
its engine. You are lost at sea, adrift on an indifferent ocean. Much like that
sea born idiot Gilligan, your three hour tour has become an epic adventure.
Eventually you wind up where all good sea farin' vessels go: THE SHIP GRAVEYARD.
While it seems very confusing, it is actually easy to navigate your way through
the wreckage. There is a lot of good booty to claim, so keep an eye for treasure
chests. Make a point to pick up the world map which allows you to pinpoint your
place in the world by pressing the SQUARE key. It is plastered on the wall of a
ship. No magic brooms or HSUP B TCELES!!* As you hope from shipwreck to
shipwreck, keep an eye out for Leonardo DiCaprio! Eventually you have to swim
through the water, getting you soaked! There is then an awkward scene where
Faris refuses to get out of his wet clothes in front of the others. Well, like
most of the shipwrecked vessels, Faris doesn't have a dinghy**! And he is
actually he is a she! How about that? A cross-dressing pirate! After camping out
on deck, keep making your way to the shore. Along the way, you will have to
raise half of a sunken ship to reach the land. Once you get there, a foxxy but
deadly surprise awaits you...
*HSUP B TCELES=Read backwards for a spell from Final Fantasy 1.
**Dinghy-Etymology: Bengali dingi & Hindi dingI
Date: 1810
1 : an East Indian rowboat or sailboat
2 a : a small boat carried on or towed behind a larger boat as a tender or a
lifeboat b : a small sailboat
3 : a rubber life raft
What were you thinking? ^_^
*************************************************************************BOSS
BATTLE : SIREN
*Lv. 2
*HP: 900
*WEAKNESS: Normal form=None// Zombie form=Cure
************************************************************************
In legend, Sirens were the mythological women (or mermaids) of the sea who
sang to Odysseus and his crew in the epic poem, "The Odyssey." The men were
forced to plug up their ears with wax to avoid the tempting song of Siren! In
FFV, Siren serves as a temptress of the mind rather than the body. She gains
control of the minds of BARTZ, REINA, and FARIS with illusions of their loved
ones. When Siren sends a little girl to "seduce" Galuf's mind, he has no idea
who she is and is thus not affected! He slaps the others back to their senses
and together they battle Siren. When she is wearing the Blue Dress, attack with
black magic and physical attacks. Again, the MONK is a great asset in this
battle. When Siren turns brownish it means she has assumed the properties of the
undead. Hopefully you have a WHITE MAGE or some level of the !WHITE ability;
casting CURE on undead creatures will actually hurt them! After the bru-ha-ha,
you discuss your memories a little bit and you are clued into the fact Reina and
Faris have the same father. Say, wouldn't that make Faris a prin--?
************************************************************************
TOWN OF KERWIN: NAMED AFTER LANCE KERWIN ( a child actor from the 70's and 80's)
http://pics.teencelebsplus.com/kerwin/kerwin.html
http://us.imdb.com/Bio?Kerwin,+Lance (this one is weird!)
Items to find: Antidote, Ice Rod, 1000 gp
You thought you would be in Walz after all this, didn't you? Nope! The
nearest town to the Ship Graveyard is Kerwin, a very nice little town. Besides
having some ducky armor and weapons for sale in the shops, there is a lot of
gossip to pick up. There is talk of a Dragon to the North, which Reina assumes
is her father's ( the Blue one from the FMV intro) and feels it would be wise to
investigate. Apparently, some miracle dragon-healing grass grows at the top of a
nearby mountain, but it is also overgrown with poison plants. For the sake of
argument, we'll call it poison ivy. Before leaving, snag the ICE ROD. It can be
found by using the Thief's SECRET ability to locate the hidden passages that
lead to this frosty treasure! Now, onto North Mountain!
NORTH MOUNTAIN: ITS A NORTH MOUNTAIN OF SAVINGS AT MAYNARDS!
Items: Soft, Phoenix Down
North Mountain is located to the NORTH of Kerwin! Wow! It used to be
called North Face mountain until they pulled their sponsorship. The rumor of a
dragon at the top leads you up the parallax scrolling lofty 16-bit cliffs. Once
you get up high enough, there will be patched of purple grass which poisons you
with a single touch. So, unless you are into poison coursing through your veins,
stay away! When you reach the save point, pitch a tent and recover your health.
You'll need them HP's cause you got a boss fight a comin' round the corner!
*************************************************************************BOSS
BATTLE: MAGISSA AND FALZER
*Both Lv. 8
*HP: Magissa=650, Falzer=850
*Weakness=None (all black magic works against them)
************************************************************************
This battle reminds me of highschool: an ultra foxxy girl with an
unbearable meathead for a boyfriend. Apparently Falzer is Magissa's slave boy,
and his presence makes this battle a little tougher than any you have faced
before. Black magic and physical attacks are the way to get it done! Monks are
key. Unleash on Magissa first. After a few rounds, she will summon Falzer who is
quite a bit stronger than she is. He may also be nude, which is disturbing.
After defeating them, you may wonder what they were doing on the mountain in the
first place. I was thinking of having BARTZ ask MAGISSA to the PROM; too bad she
is pure evil.
When you reach the top, you see Reina's father's dragon lying injured
amongst the flowers. Reina risks poison to get the healing DRAGON GRASS. After
feeding the Dragon, she lies down for a while and the DRAGON is healed. Then the
DRAGON heals Reina, everyone is happy, and you can finally fly to Walz (about
time!)
NOTE: I wonder what BOKO the Chocobo is doing at this point?
WALZ TOWN: AT LONG LAST!!
Items to find: Silverglasses
I like to pronounce this town WHALES instead of the conventional WALLS.
After long last, Walz is not that exciting. Stock up on weapons, you'll need
'em! There is also a magic shop selling spells you cannot use yet. If you have
the money, pick them up--you'll have the ability soon enough. After talking to
the people, you discover the King of Walz is harvesting the power of the crystal
to keep water flowing through the town. He got into the same kind of trouble
when he was the king of FLOORZ!! haha get it? WALZ? FLOORZ?! hehe! You know the
drill by now. Talk to the people, including the girl training a beast named
GARULA in the pen on the Eastern side of town. Garula is merely a descendent of
SNUFFALUFAGUS from SESAME STREET. Or so we think...
WALZ CASTLE: A LESSON IN GETTING WHOOPED TEXAS STYLE: HOT N' SPICY
Items to find: Tent, 490 gp, Phoenix Down
Items in Harpy's Lair: Elf Cloak, 1000gp x 2, "Learned Speed"
There is much to do in this castle, including talking to everyone and
getting your butt kicked. First and foremost have an audience with the King of
Walz. As he explains why he must use the crystal for power, a second meteor
crashes near Walz Tower. Seconds later a guard reports that all hell is breaking
loose at the tower and the King rushes to see what is going on. Now, just to
confuse you there is a WALZ TOWER and a WALZ WATER TOWER. The WALZ TOWER is not
in the castle; it is located to the north right near where the meteor falls. The
WALZ WATER TOWER is actually in the castle walls. But first things first--Before
rushing off to save the silly crystal, I'm sure you want to explore the castle,
right? Good!
Very often in video games, townspeople give you shady information. Sure
you hear it, but you ever really LISTEN?! Nope, probably not. So when a certain
fellow mentions HARPY is a very tough enemy you probably think this guy is a
pansy and HARPY is most likely a pushover. Well, go ahead, go through the
basement until you see four very tempting treasure chests. Easy enough, right,
just mosey up and grab them, right? WRONG!! It turns out the basement is guarded
by HARPY, a scrawny enemy whose specialty is waxing your sorry behind. If you
are really driven to get the items, create a Thief with the FLEE command ready
to go. If you encounter Harpy, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! The trick here is that Harpy
is weak against water--but none of the spells you possess right now are water
based! So it's the old DASH AND FLEE routine for now. If you get lucky and save
a lot, you CAN get the chests at this level but it takes a great deal of luck.
Even if you get all the items now, be sure to come back and kill HARPY just out
of spite for making you look like a fool!
WALZ WATER TOWER: SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FROGS
Items to find: SHIVA SUMMON
This is another area of the game you are better off to revisit when you
are a little stronger. That isn't to say you should avoid it all together.
Though short, this section pits you against your first SUMMON BASED enemy,
SHIVA. For now don't challenge her; you could win but it's not worth it. A goal
for here is to use your BLUE MAGE to learn the Elf Toad's TOAD SONG. If you have
!LEARNING equipped as your ability, you will learn this spell if it hits you.
Notice that ELF TOAD will only cast the spell when there is only one of him
present. He has to also hit the individual with !LEARNING, so if he hits other
party members you will not add the spell to your !BLUE list. You can also steal
a Mythril Sword from the Ice Solider if you are lucky. After fulfilling these
goals, head back to Walz and heal up for the trip to WALZ Tower.
*************************************************************************BOSS
BATTLE: SHIVA
*Lv. 11
*HP 1500
*WEAKNESS: FIRE
************************************************************************
It is best to fight Shiva once you have visited Karnak and armed your
Black and Red Mages with FIR2. Between her ICE2 attack and ICE COMMANDER guards,
you will have a barrage of hard hits slamming into your team. If you get even
further in the game before coming back, a NINJA with FIRE SKILL will help your
cause. Hammer the group of enemies with FIR2 and straight attacks. Once the
guards are disposed of, FIR2 will take close to 700 points of damage on Shiva
when directed at her as a single attack. When you defeat her, you earn the right
to call her as a powerful ICE BASED summon attack.
************************************************************************
WALZ TOWER: REVENGE OF THE SNUFFALUFAGAS
Items to find: Silk Robe, Maiden's Kiss, Ether, Silver Arm Band
After you have had fun in WALZ TOWN and CASTLE fly your Blue Dragon North
to Walz Tower. An interesting thing happens if you land right of the meteor. You
may encounter GARULA in battle in the overworld. He's easy to beat and over
gives you one ABP and no EXP or gp. Odd indeed...Go inside the tower and talk to
the face down guards. They inform you that the King is up ahead trying to stop
the very Garula you possibly just fought. When you reach the King, he is in the
middle of a major faceplant. He mumbles something about Garula and the Crystal.
After talking with him go into the pool of water to the left and climb up the
vine to claim a fine silk robe for yourself. Go up a floor to the save point and
save your game. After gathering the treasure chests on the next few floors, save
one more time and go to the top to battle Garula.
*************************************************************************BOSS
BATTLE: GARULA
*Lv. 3
*HP: 1200
*WEAKNESS: TOAD SONG
************************************************************************
When you actually face Garula, he no longer looks like a plump lovable
ball of fun. Now he looks like a Woolly Mammoth shaved like a POODLE. I really
hope you listened to me and learned TOAD SONG, otherwise Garula is going to
knock you around like a shuttlecock in a badminton game. His CHARGE attack can
wipe you out in a matter of seconds, so if you didn't get toad song hit him with
all you have and heal with White Magic. If you were wise and got TOAD SONG ( I
didn't write about it for nothing!) have Faris cast it being that she is fastest
of your characters and can normally cast it before Garula can attack. Once you
turn him into a toad, it's hammer time! A slash here, a slice there and you will
be eating frog's legs in no time! If Garula turns back, simply cast TOAD SONG
again.
After whooping Garula, you get to see another crystal shatter. Late again!
This time you earn the following jobs: BERSERKER (any one ever seen CLERKS? ^_^
my love is like a truck...), SORCERER, TIME MAGE, SUMMONER, and RED MAGE. Don't
worry about the crystal that is out of reach. Of these, it's a good idea to
build up your RED MAGE. He/she is a strong fighter and can learn both WHITE and
BLACK magic. Not too shabby and a good resource early in the game.
************************************************************************
A FAREWELL TO HYDRA
After you defeat the Woolly nightmare, Hydra swims on by and saves your
bacon. As the tower sinks, Hydra picks you up in his mouth (ewww hope you used
mouthwash!) and drops you off on a nearby shoreline. Even though he looks
healthy to me, Hydra passes on to the place where all good serpents go. This is
an emotional moment for Faris who has to be held back from diving into the ocean
after him. Dang, these games are tearjerkers, huh?
RETURN TO WALZ CASTLE: GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONGED!
Fly back to Walz for one last meeting with the King. He tells you the FIRE
CRYSTAL can be found in KARNAK. You might as well try to go there and watch it
shatter like the first two. Fun huh? Before going to Karnak, there are a few
things you should attend to first.
I'LL NEVER GROW OLD, I'LL NEVER DIE, AND THERE WILL BE LOTS OF OATMEAL:
A RETURN TO TYCOON
Items to find: Ether x 2, Potion, Phoenix Down, Elixir x 2, Maiden's Kiss,
Healing Staff, Shuriken, Katana, Monster Bell, Cottage
Wait a minute I was thinking of the WILFORD BRIMLEY BOX OFFICE SMASH
"COCOON" there! Eat your oatmeal, kids! TYCOON is where the whole game started!
There are a ton of goodies to find here, most of which are easy to find. A good
deal of "mini-plot" happens in Tycoon, including an important scene with REINA
and FARIS. After talking to everyone and gathering up the items and use a thief
with the SECRET ability to find the chancellor; for some reason he is lurking in
the hidden passages of Tycoon with a healing staff, which he will gladly give
you if you can find him. Reminisce for a while then it's off to Karnak to
investigate the FIRE CRYSTAL!!
(Now currently listening to GODFLESH'S SLAVESTATE)
TOWN OF KARNAK/CASTLE OF KARNAK: THE ROOF IS ON FIRE!
Items to find: FIRE ROD
To find Karnak, loop North around the mountain and then head southwest.
It's a bit of a hoof, but you'll make it there eventually. First off, Karnak has
a ton of cool stuff for sale. The problem is, since you warped here via the
meteor people think you are some kind of freak from the dark side. Just because
you popped out of a meteor from outer space! Hmph! What snobs! You will be able
to hear a little gossip with the townsfolk before their distrust gets the better
of them. You learn about Cid the engineer who created the crystal amplifier. You
also hear about the great deals on weapons, so naturally you will want to check
them out. When you enter any kind of shop, a security guard will accuse you of
being an enemy and you will be tossed in jail. After what seems to be an
eternity, you'll see a guy stirring about in the cell next to yours. Without
warning he blows a hole in the wall between your cells. Much to his chagrin all
he finds on the other side are a bunch of scalawags! After a little lighthearted
mockery, your group and Cid bond as he finds out you are on a mission to save
the remaining crystals. As you banter, the Chancellor of Karnak comes rushing
in. It turns out the Queen has been a little hasty in her judgment to imprison
Cid. The fire crystal is indeed cracking and the chancellor knows Cid is the
only man who would know how to prevent it from being totally destroyed. Since
the crystal amplifier is on the fire ship, it seems the logical place to go.
As you leave the prison, you are no longer in Karnak but Karnak Castle.
With the Fire Crystal growing increasingly more unstable, flames are popping up
all around. And, as (bad) luck would have it. they all block treasure chests.
Not to worry l'il partner, you'll be able to pillage later; for now just work on
getting to the fire ship. Stop back at Karnak Town and stock up on weapons,
armor, and magic. For the battles ahead, ICE2 and the ICE ROD will be useful.
What's that you say? Fire Rod? Oh yeah, there IS a fire rod in Karnak, but you
can't get it until the flames die down.
THE FIRE SHIP: PRECURSOR TO TODAY'S MODERN NUCLEAR SUB
Items to find: Elixir x 2, Moonring, Thief's Glove, Green Beret, Cottage,
Phoenix Down, Mythril Glove.
After talking to CID about a great many things., it is time to head to the
bowels of the ship to check in on the crystal. The first part of the maze is
enemy free; it is not until you get to the metal/mechanical part that the
enemies start appearing. There are some tough enemies down here and the maze is
somewhat confusing. If you have a BLUE MAGE or the !LEARNING ability you can
pick up FLASH and EXPLODER from the enemies here. There are elevators, steam
shafts, ladders, and moving conveyor belts. There are some great items to get
but they require a good deal of patience and a good memory. Even with maps this
section is confusing. Now you can't say you haven't been warned! After
exploring, you will come across a save point (I would give maps, but in the text
format they are usually more confusing! If you are utterly stuck, send me an
email) The easiest way to reach the boss is to go up the ladder to the left at
the beginning then hook around and descend the stairway at the bottom right of
the upper level. from there go to the "down door" then to the left. Follow this
until you get to a room with four shoots heading down--take the one second from
the left (far right leads to green beret, 2nd from right leads to the Thief's
Glove). After dropping down, go to the door to the left to reach the save point.
For the upcoming boss battle it is a good idea to have at least two black mages
in your party (or at least characters with level 3 !Black ability). A Monk with
the !WHITE and a Knight or Red Mage round out a good party for the upcoming
battle.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: LIQUID FLAME
*Lv: 19
*HP: 3000
*Weak Against: ICE
************************************************************************
Liquid Flame has two distinct forms: a Man and a hand. When he is in the
man form, you can hammer him with ICE2 and your ICE ROD. When he morphs into the
hand, magic will not hurt him and he will counter spells with a powerful fire
attack. When he is in the hand form, limit your attacks to physical non-magical
assaults ( fists, swords and the like.) It's a good idea to be around level 12-
13 when you fight this flaming idiot ( ha-ha!). He can whip BLAZE and FIR2 at
your party so make sure to heal quickly when you take damage. Put your black
mages in the back row for a little added defense.
************************************************************************
JUMP IN THE FIRE? RUN TO THE HILLS? WHICH 80's METAL SONG FITS BEST HERE?
THE ESCAPE FROM KARNAK CASTLE
Items to find: 2000 gp x 2, Elixir x 3, Shuriken, Ribbon, Esna, Lightning Skill,
Elf Cloak, Hunting Knife, Monsters
Race for your life Charlie Brown!! Get out of the castle before it burns
to the ground!! (woah that rhymed!) There are a ton of high quality goods to
pick up along the way. As a sidenote, don't get all nervous because of the
countdown timer and the fast paced music DRIVING INTO YOUR SKULL PUMPING YOUR
ADRENALINE TO UN-NATURAL LEVELS!! A good idea is to have a thief with the flee
ability so you can escape unnecessary battles. This gives you more time to
gather the booty. Make sure to battle the monsters in the treasure chests!! (
hint, hint) Almost all the chests are easy to find; good finds include the
shuriken and the ribbon in the library, the elixirs, and the elf cloak in the
orange room (to the upper right). You have plenty of time to do this all, make
sure you grab as much as you can. When you get to the gates, you will encounter
a sergeant. Some claim he turns into IRON CLAW, but I have not personally
experienced this. I simply defeated him without even considering him a boss; if
you are fast you can do away with this guy lickety-split!
BURN BABY, BURN!!
After you leave the castle it burns to the ground. Three shards of the
fire crystal can be recovered; the jobs of TRAINER, GEOMANCER, and NINJA. Of
these, NINJA is the most useful in my opinion. The other two are more
situational occupations. After gathering them, talk to CID on the nearby Fire
Ship. It seems he blamed himself for destroying the castle and is very
depressed. Eventually you will want to meet up with him in the town of Karnak.
Before hunting him out, grab the FIRE STAFF on top of the city walls in Karnak.
You'll also find things are much more expensive than before; things were cheaper
in the ol' Fire Crystal days. Stock up, rest, and all that fun stuff--
Cid will be on the second floor of the pub. He is drinking himself into a
stupor, riddled with guilt for destroying the castle (which he TECHNICALLY kind
of is). But now is not the time to play the BLAME GAME, its time to play:
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?
(answers at the bottom of the FAQ)
1-What is the capital of Montana?
2-What color is a Polar Bear's fur?
3-Who composed the music for FFV?
4-What weighs more? A pound of feathers or a pound of gold?
5-On what day did the TITANIC hit the ICEBERG?
A JOB IN THE DESERT
(Currently listening to: I Love My Computer by BAD RELIGION)
When the castle burnt to the ground, it effectively destroyed the barrier
to the west of Karnak. After speaking to the Queen on the second floor of the
Inn at Karnak, head to the desert with one mission: Learn the Aquarake spell
from the Quadraharpy with your blue mage. You must have the !LEARNING ability
equipped if you are not a blue mage (and a high enough !BLUE level to cast the
spells). To face Quadraharpy, wander in the desert for a while; trust me, it
won't take long. Be prepared: this is one tough foe but learning Aquarake is
VERY IMPORTANT because at this point in the game, you do not have any water-
based magic (Ice doesn't count.) Once you learn AQUARAKE, return to Karnak and
rest. Quadraharpy has 1000 hp by the way (that last message was sponsored by the
American Beef Council: BEEF it's what's for dinner!)
LIBRARY OF ANCIENTS: Ou est la Bibliotheque?
Items to find: Ether, Ninja Suit, Phoenix Down
The Library of Ancients can be reached by staying on the right perimeter
of the desert then following it to the southwest. When you come to a light green
field, the Library is to the south in a patch of forest. Make sure you know the
ICE2 spell!! Upon entering the library, you will find it over run with scholars!
OH NO!!! Luckily they do not bite so talk to them and get the story. It turns
out that some of the books are possessed, monsters are running amok on the lower
levels, and MID ( Cid's grandson) is missing somewhere. Before getting into the
thick of it, hit the urn on the second floor. For some reason a urination joke
seems appropriate here but I can't think of one. Anyway, said Urn will heal your
HP/MP and status! For ha-ha's, head up to the roof where a few scholars are
burning books. There are three books you can look at; the first two have
interesting entries, one perhaps regarding the Healing Staff. The third has a
monster in it. After a little light reading, head down into the main part of the
library. It is not hard to get through the mazes as long as you know one little
tip: you can manipulate the way the shelves are arranged by going up to random
areas on the book shelves and pressing the X button. The only enemies you will
fight in this area are the "pages" of enemies: 32, 64, 128, and 256. These guys
are not too hard to defeat, but they tend to come at you in waves. When you make
it to the room with a single book, prepare your ICE magic and get ready for a
battle!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: IFRIT
*Lv: 22
*HP: 3000
*WEAKNESS: Ice, Shiva
************************************************************************
Ifrit has some strong FIRE attacks. The best way to finish off the Arabic Jinni
is to hammer him with ICE2 and use the SHIVA summon. As far as bosses go, this
is a pretty cut and dry battle. Heal when you are getting hurt with CURE2 and
keep up your offensive attacks. After defeating Ifrit, you will earn his powers
as a summon magic!
************************************************************************
After you defeat Ifrit, keep pushing bookshelves and climbing ladders to
open secret passages. Eventually you will move a book that leads to a battle;
after winning it advance to the save point. I STILL can't believe they named a
hero BUTZ!!! Just mentioning that-- Anyhow do the save thing and get ready for
yet another boss battle. Also get Black Mages ready with FIR2 and make a
SUMMONER, if only to summon IFRIT in battle. When you enter the room with a man
browsing through some texts, get ready! The man is MID; before you can talk to
him you have to battle Biblos, the meanest librarian to enforce a late fee.
************************************************************************
*BOSS FIGHT: BIBLOS
*Lv: 24
*HP: 3600
*WEAKNESS: FIRE SPELLS, IFRIT SUMMON
************************************************************************
Biblos was fired form his job at the Academy of Learning and Research when
he ate several renowned authors. Much like the books he inhabits, FIRE is his
worst enemy. FIR2 and the newly gained Ifrit summon will help burn the bullish
Biblos. Other magics won't faze him so don't bother trying. Physical attacks are
still effective. The FIRE ROD you got in Karnak is a good choice in this battle
as well.
************************************************************************
(listening to YOU'VE GOT A CHANCE off the NEW AMERICA by BAD RELIGION)
After defeating Biblos, talk to MID who was so immersed in reading a book
on new technology that he didn't even hear the battle behind him. Imagine that!!
How these people manage to get into such monster infested areas is beyond me.
You have a little chit-chat with Mid and he explains that he has found a book
that will help power the Fire Ship without the crystal. He leads you out of the
library via a secret passage. Chat with the scholars and then head back to
Karnak Town-remember to stay out of the desert.
KARNAK: WHAT CID AND MID DID
After defeating Biblos and "freeing" Mid, return to the pub and talk with
Cid who is still getting sauced on the second floor. He will have a little spat
with Mid which turns into an odd inspirational type speech. In short, Mid
convinces Cid to repair the Fire Ship. They get psyched about making the repairs
and dash off to the Fire Ship. Once you meet up with them, you will again have a
vessel to sail the seas with. With Faris as your salty captain, head out and
explore the great seas of...whatever the name of this world is!
JACHOL VILLAGE: TREASURE HUNTER HAVEN
It is very easy to miss Jachol Village if you are not looking for it; it
is also hard to miss if you ARE looking for it. It can be found on the western
continent. While it is the southern most blip on your map, it is a bit tricky to
reach. Dock your boat above the flashing dot to the east and go down a corridor
of mountains. You know you are on track if you see a cave right before the
corridor winds south. Continue down until you reach the town itself. Once there,
you have a few tasks to take care of. First of all, there are some great weapons
to pick up including the CORAL SWORD and the KATANA. There is also a WHITE magic
store in case you missed out on any level 1, 2, or 3 spells. This includes CURE2
and RAISE, two essential spells. Make sure to rock out on the piano ( this
should be your fourth so far). The reason you are playing the pianos is to earn
skills towards a certain Bard's song.
Talk to the local yokels. They will tell you about all kinds of snazzy
treasure in a cave to the north; they will also mention there are some pretty
"tough" monsters. This is another gross understatement! At your level ( probably
around 14-16) you will get beaten hard by...umm..squirrels. Yes, big mean
squirrels...*sigh*...but you can give it a try if you want. Stock up, rest, and
head to the cave if you dare.
JACHOL CAVE: SQUIRREL'S REVENGE
Items to find: Shuriken, Tent, Gold
Jachol Cave will make you feel stupid if you try to get the goodies on a
low level. Unless you are really tough and super lucky, you will get mauled by
nut-bearing rodents. The ironic thing is there is not too much to get in the
cave anyway. There are some extra treasure chests you can get if you left
PICKPOCKET the WAREWOLF in jail. Try it if you want; if you are a purist I'd
suggest coming back here later in the game. *Note-- the other item you get if
you leave WAREWOLF in prison is the shockwhip.
CRESCENT TOWN: YOUR NEXT BASE OF OPERATIONS AND NOT JUST A CLEVER NAME
Items to find: None
Crescent town is named after the fact it is shaped like a finger nail
clipping; or a crescent shaped moon whatever appeals to you more. It is located
on the Mac-Tonight shaped island to the extreme southeast on the map. The
enemies here are tough and annoying to fight, though you can steal some good
junk from them. The weapon shop has some great archery bows for your HUNTER and
the black magic shop offers spells for levels 1,2 and 3. There is yet another
piano to play in this town. If you speak to the BARD after playing it, he will
reward you with the STRENGTH SONG. You'll be on the Pop charts in no time! As
long as you change your name from BUTZ to something hipper! Wander around and be
social, you know the drill.
There is a particularly funny townsperson who makes fun of you--why?
Because your precious Fire Ship has been sucked underwater by the currents in
the little inlet (DOH!!). Your characters are surprisingly calm about this. You
would think their first response would be to give the old man a beat down and
steal his wallet, but I guess our heroes are pillars of virtue. Ah Well. As luck
would have it, a patch of forest to the south just happens to contain a
legendary BLACK CHOCOBO, which ironically is PURPLE. If you have a thief in your
party it will be very easy to catch the Chocobo using the added speed of your
DASH ability. The plus to the Black Chocobo is you can ride him through the air,
though he is not strong enough to fly over snow-capped mountains. When he first
tries to take to the air, he flaps as hard as can but barely gets off the
ground. After he crashes to Earth, he spews forth the very items that were
holding him down: Crystal Shards! The regurgitated crystals award you with the
BARD and HUNTER jobs.
SWEET HOME RIKKS VILLAGE/LORD I'M COMING HOME TO YOU
RIKKS VILLAGE
Items: None, but a lot of cool back story
First let me put on my serious face here o_o. Rikks Village features some
of the best nostalgic music I have ever heard, game or otherwise. The
melancholy, nostalgic mood music really captures the feel of the storyline.
Sorry, I'm not going to give it all away! Amongst the things you will want to
invest in from Rikks are the Ninja Skills, which are very powerful attacks at
this stage in the game. Buy about 5 or 6 of each if you can afford it. If you go
into your old house, touch the pink music box near the window. An interesting
flashback sequence will trigger. After that, talk to the Bard for the TEMPTATION
SONG, another one of the BARD's tunes; it serves to confuse enemies, similar to
MUDDLE. As a footnote, you can stay at the INN for free.
THE IRONICALLY NAMED "EASTERLY VILLAGE"
Items to find: TOAD SPELL
Located at the far Northwestern part of your map, Easterly Village must
have been named after the town's fervent love for the Easter bunny rather than
it's location. In any case, Easterly Village has a few tricks up its proverbial
sleeve. First off there are some interesting shops. Besides a useful TIME MAGIC
shop, there is also a RELIC dealer who charges an arm and a leg for some nifty
rings (Two months salary my butt!). One old man mentions a "sleepy toad" who can
be found in the flower in the northwest corner of the town. Examine the bottom
right patch and the toad will pop out and leave the relatively useless TOAD
spell. Pick it up anyhow just in case one of your team gets amphibionized (is
that a word?)
Another secret in town involves playing with the sheep (Clean your dirty
minds RIGHT NOW!!) Up at the top of town, you'll find a pen with rather passive
sheep wandering about. Go to the one in the left corner and TAP TAP on its butt.
It will respond by punting you over the fence. Once there, you can find a BARD
who babbles something about love and teaches you the LOVE SONG, a skill you will
probably never use. One last thing: in the woods to the east (over the little
bridge) you will encounter RAMUH, a very useful BOLT throwing summon monster. If
you listened to me and bought the WATER SKILLS in Rikks Village, use them to
hurt the old man. Shiva also works well.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: Ramuh
*Level: 21
*HP: 4000
*WEAKNESS: Water, Summon Spells
************************************************************************
Use those WATER SKILLS and SUMMONS on Ramuh and he will be a push over!
This is not a very difficult battle and you are rewarded with the Ramuh summon
when all is said and done. A relatively easy encounter.
************************************************************************
(currently listening to MST3k "A Patrick Swayze Christmas)
YOUR BOOK IS OVERDUE:
RETURN TO THE LIBRARY OF ANCIENTS
Your only real mission on your return trip to the library is to talk to
Cid and Mid. Rumor has it there are ruins to the south past the dessert that
hold a clue to your quest. After talking to them, heal up at the library urn and
head into the desert. When you get there, you will find that the sand is flowing
like water (why your characters don't just use FLOAT to get by situations like
these is beyond me.) Apparently this is caused by a giant sandworm. I'm not sure
how, but if RETURN OF THE JEDI has taught me anything, its that sandworms are
big nasty evil things.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: SANDWORM
*Level: 18
*HP: 3000
*Weakness: Water
************************************************************************
Remember when I told you to get AQUARAKE way back on page 7 or something
like that? Well now is when you need it! Sandworm is extremely weak against
water so you only have to unleash AQUARAKE on him once to send him to the place
all bad worms go. If you have to engage him in battle because you WERE TOO LAZY
TO READ THE FAQ and didn't get AQUARAKE from QUADRAHARPY, use your NINJA to
throw Waterskill at him. Sandworm has some nasty attacks, such as DEMI. Add to
that you have to play WHACK-A-MOLE with him, as he may appear in any of the
three holes in the ground. QUICKSAND hits hard too-- so use water attacks, ok?
************************************************************************
To make it down through the shifting sands...umm, just try to get on the
ones that are headed DOWNWARD. If you follow where the conveyor-like belts are
shifting this isn't too hard. Your goal is to get to the bottom of the screen.
As a note, you CAN be attacked by monsters on your way down.
TOWN OF RUINS: DOES THIS PLACE SMELL FUNNY TO YOU?
Items to find: None
The town of ruins actually has a name: GORN. There isn't much to see here.
No shops, no inns, no nothing (what did you expect, the town is in RUINS!?) As
you search around town, you begin to see the good ol' King of Tycoon appearing
here and there. You can try to catch him but the rat fink will only disappear
when you get close to him. Chase him around until he gets up towards the top. As
you go to talk to him, your group will plummet through the ground (again, why
not use FLOAT?!) You land in a rather charming location...
AIRSHIP: WE LOVE TO FLY AND IT SHOWS!
Items to find: Shuriken X 2, Mini Spell
When you get here, make sure you head south instead of north. First and
foremost, you will see four neatly made beds waiting for your characters to nap
in. You may also see some treasure chests to the bottom of the screen. Time to
get some booty! But it's not that easy. Go to the left hand room and press the
switch you assume would open the way. It tells you that you have to check the
middle room, where you find a piece of paper. Instructions tell you to
investigate the right room. Read the notes on the table that say to go back to
the LEFT room again (DOH!). Check out the URN and an adorable little frog will
pop out and open the way to the treasure chests. Yeahhh about time! You will
find a shiny pair of Shuriken and the Mini Spell.
After getting all that jazz done, head North. Cid and Mid just "happen" to
fall through the floor. It seems they went to Crescent Island to recover the
Fire Ship and ended up here. Cast MINI on them and squash them like the BUGS
THEY ARE BWAA HAA HAA--no wait--they are your friends! Let them fix up the
Airship and prepare to take off!! But before you do, it appears there is
something stuck to the hull...Just be glad it isn't a giant jellyfish!!
http://theshadowlands.net/index2.htm
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: CLAY CLAW
*Level: 43
*HP: 2000
*Weakness: BOLT
************************************************************************
Any BOLT based magic works well against this fiend, who has attached
himself to the bow of your airship. The Ramuh summon and throwing Shurikens with
your Ninja will put the beat down on Clay Claw. He only has 2000 HP, so this
battle will be easier than some of your previous boss encounters.
************************************************************************
After beating this boss your next stop is back at the Town of Ruin. Also
note since you have the Airship, feel free to cruise around and check out the
world. Revisting RIKKS Village is a good idea because of the free inn and the
merchant who sells NINJA SKILLS. When you near the town of Ruins, a huge
transformer-like thing will pop out of the desert. In the immortal words of
Homer J Simpson, "OH CRAP!" Though it will probably only take you two minutes to
figure this out, Cid and Mid are the folks to report this news to, as they are
your tech team. They will explain that the final Crystal is in that big flying
contraption and YOU have to get it. Unfortunately, your little airship doesn't
have the power to fly high enough to engage the flying fortress...that is
without the help of a crazy little metal called Adamantite. Oddly enough, Galuf
remembers there was adamantite on the meteor he cruised into town on. I'll save
your memory the trouble and say it is the meteor near Tycoon where the whole
fiasco started. Tycoon is on the right continent...
METEOR NEAR TYCOON
Items to find: Adamantaim
Your job is simple: go inside and snag the Adamantain. It is plastered on
the back wall of the cave. On your way out, you will encounter a rather grumpy
turtle.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: ADAMANTAIM
*Level: 20
HP: 2000
*Weakness: Ice
************************************************************************
Hmmmm... I'm not sure if Adamantaim comes from this guy's shell, but this
is one ticked off turtle! Shurikens are a good idea to weaken Mr. Halfshelf, as
are strong ICE spells. The SHIVA summon is another way to drain points off this
wily reptile. Again, he shouldn't be a major obstacle and you should be done
with him fairly quickly.
************************************************************************
Return to the AIRSHIP PORTAL near CRESCENT TOWN and visit Cid and Mid--
they will equip your ship with the recently won Adamantaim. Now, no matter where
you are on the map press X and choose to go higher instead of landing. This will
bring you to the flying fortress which sort of looks like something out of the
NES classic 1943. There's a bunch of stuff to do before taking on this massive
flying machine! First off travel to RIKKS VILLAGE and beef up your stock of
LIGHTNING SKILLS. It is not a bad idea to have two Ninjas in your party for the
upcoming battle. All healed? Ready to go? Ok, let's do it!!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: FLAME THROWER and MISSILE LAUNCHERS
*Level: 20
*Hp: 2,200
*Weakness: Bolt
************************************************************************
As you approach the flying fortress, it will shoot blasts of energy at
you! To get into the thing, you have to take out the guns on either side. There
are two guns per side, meaning you will have to fight a total of four separate
battles. Luckily the guns are very weak against BOLT based magic. Lightning
Skill is particularly effective against them, as is the RAMUH summon. Two
ninja's using lightning skills in succession will batter the guns with ease.
After defeating the four guns, head back to the ground and heal your members.
Another boss approaches (NOTE: Now is a great time to land and save your game!)
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: Soul Gun/Launcher
*Level: Soul Gun=36, Launcher=50
*HP: Soul Gun=22,500, Launcher=10,800
*Weakness: BOLT
************************************************************************
After defeating the side cannons, go to the front of the flying fortress.
Here you will face a whopper of a boss! While previous bosses had relatively
medium hit points, the two sections of the gun you face are massive metal
machines; the main section boasts a hardy 22,500 HP!! The battle starts off with
the gun equipped with a safety lock; this means it will not pull out its full
attacks for a while. Take advantage of this. Hammer the two parts with Lightning
Skill and Bolt 2; Ramuh is also a good idea if you have a SUMMONER. My
suggestion is: Two ninja's , a Knight with !Black, and either a SUMMONER or
NINJA with !White. Speed is of the essence, so don't dawdle! Using Ninja Skills
and BOLT 2 on both of the parts, you'll kill the launcher first. Do not let up
on your LIGHTNING SKILLS or BOLT 2.!! Once the safety is off, the soul gun is
gonna HAMMER you! This is why it is good to have Ninja's; they can high vigor
and speed. You may get killed once or twice on this battle, but if you act
quickly you can SURVIVE!! Aiming on both targets is a good idea. Beat the Soul
Gun/Launcher combo and park your ship in the opening.
************************************************************************
THE FLYING FORTRESS: KIND OF LIKE THE FLYING WONKA-VATOR
http://www.borg.com/~superman/index.html
Items to find: Gold Armor, Elixir, Phoenix Down, Gold Shield, Potion, 5000 gp,
Ancient Sword, Shuriken, Moonring, Power Wrist, Cottage, Ether
There is much to see and do in the flying fortress. While it looks
imposing, this area is pretty easy to get through thanks to a well placed save
point. If someone has the SECRET ability here is the place to use it! As you
first enter, a fine suit of GOLD ARMOR awaits you. From here you will pop out
onto the second floor. Go down and left and to the FAR left, then up the
furthest left section. If you are a treasure hunter, you can go down to get the
chest which contains an ELIXIR, a nice item but not a necessity. Loop around
back to the right and gather the Phoenix Down in the treasure chest. If you need
healing, hit the room in the center and use the save point. I hate to be vague
here, but from the save point explore to find other items. It's not hard, but
since the fortress goes away after you beat it, I was not able to make maps
after defeating it. DOH! I'll update it in the future if needed. All I have in
my notes are TRAP DOOR TWO STEPS IN FRONT OF MIDDLE TREASURE CHEST. Check out
the item list and make sure to find all the major ones before confronting the
final boss.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: ARCHEOAVIS
*Level: 19
*HP: 6400
*Second Form: 2500
*WEAKNESS: Variable
************************************************************************
Archeovais is one of the classic Final Fantasy monsters that has the
ability to vary the type of magic that hurts him. If you are insistent with
using magic, cast the white spell SCAN to determine what his current weakness
is. A more universal approach is to attack him with strong fighters, especially
monks and knights. A NINJA with THROW and a few Shurikens also makes this battle
a lot easier. After defeating the first form, he will resurrect himself. His
second form has about half as many hit points as the first; you can usually
knock him out with a single Ninja THROW!
************************************************************************
Once defeating Archeovais, you finally end up catching up with the King of
Tycoon (remember, the guy in the beginning of the game?) who is apparently
possessed. When all looks grim, Krile (Galuf's Grand daughter) appears and
knocks him down with a spell. This breaks the spell on the King of Tycoon. In a
touching scene ruined by the fact one of the characters is named "Salsa", the
King and his daughters are reunited, until 2 seconds later when X-Death shows up
and destroys the crystals . Because of his contract with Square was up, the King
of Tycoon had to be written out of the script so out he goes in a blaze of
glory. On his way out, he banishes X-Death's lock on the crystals. As a result
of all this drama, you earn four more jobs. Samurai and Chemist are both skills
you will find immediately useful while Dancer and Lancer sounds like a pair of
Santa's lost reindeer.
BACK TO THE AIRSHIP PLATFORM
At this point in the game, a good rule is, "If you do not know where to
go, visit CID and MID." Flying back to the airship platform just to the west of
Crescent Town yields a few clues as to the whereabouts of the two wacky
mechanics. As it turns out, they have gone to return the Adamantite used to
power up your ship back to the meteors. This means you have to follow them to
each meteor; it doesn't matter what order you go in, but you must get all four.
After replacing the Adamantite (called by friend Jody "Adam Ant's Tights"
http://www.adam-ant.net/), you will have the ability to warp to Galuf's world to
pursue X-Death and prevent him from destroying another world.
METEOR 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 maybe some Chicken and PORK FRIED RICE?
Ok there are only four meteors, but I wanted to sing along with Mambo
(combo?) number 5. The first one to head to is the one close to Tycoon castle,
where all the craziness began. Upon entering you will discuss with Cid and Mid
the idea of traveling to Galuf's world. This whole process goes rather smoothly.
Unlike the next meteor you visit...
METEOR 2: METEOR NEAR WALZ-Right after the brain boys out the Adamantite into
place, you are treated to a boss battle. You must fight a tribe of hard to
pronounce Byurobolos (or would it be Byurobolui?)
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: BY-YOUR-O-BOWL-OS (or as I call him, BUY YOUR OWN BALLONS)
*Level: 22
*HP: 2200
*Weakness: none
************************************************************************
Buy Your Own Balloons are a group of floating bombs. Not to sound like a
skipping record, but NINJA's lightning and water skills are a great attack as is
the Samurai's $TOSS. Chances are one of your characters will have the MAGE
SWORD, which occasionally casts MUTE on the enemies. This is a good idea against
Buy Your Own Balloons because they cast ARISE on their fallen brothers. Casting
MUTE on them is also a good idea. As far as attacks go, they don't hit too hard
except for the kamikaze EXPLODER attack!
************************************************************************
METEOR 3: METEOR NEAR KARNAK
Despite being technical geniuses, Cid and Mid have the fighting prowess of
WET COTTONBALLS. Again its's up to you to save their bacon. Walk onto the little
magic tile to battle Terry "Titan" Hogan.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: TITAN
*Level: 1
*HP: 2500
*Weakness: None
************************************************************************
Titan appears to be middle aged, evident in the fact his HAIR LINE is
making a BEELINE for his BEHIND! Make sure to simply hammer away at him with
weapons and the occasional magic spell. After weakening him, start to heal your
characters with CURE 2. When you finally deal the death blow, Titan will cast
EARTH SHAKER, which has the capacity to take off 500 HP of each member of your
party. As long as one of you is still standing, you will defeat Titan, secure
the Adamantite into the meteor and best of all learn the TITAN summon!
************************************************************************
METEOR 4: METEOR NEAR GORN
The fourth and final meteor is south if the desert near the location of
the abandoned town where you played tiddlywinks with the King of Tycoon. As Cid
and Mid go in to secure the final piece of Adamantite, you wait outside. I guess
your group of adventurers has not picked up on the pattern here. After a while,
you have to go into the cave and fight one more battle before big things go
down. Let's get ready to RUMBLE!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: KIMABRAIN
*Level: 19
*HP: 3300
*Weakness: none
************************************************************************
By now, you know the story with these bosses. Use the $TOSS ability with
the Samurai and SHURIKENS with your Ninja. I know its the same old story, but it
works! It's not my fault! Kimabrain has a few tough spells including AQUARAKE
and BLAZE, both of which can hit the entire party for up to 250 HP. The fact you
only have three warriors at this point makes the battle a little harder, but
nothing you can't handle. Oddly enough, Kimabrain does not resemble a KIMA nor a
BRAIN. It's a goat lion kind of monster.
************************************************************************
END OF PART 1
************************************************************************
Yes sir, it has been a mighty fine adventure so far. As you warp off to
Galuf's World (which lacks a formal name) you have a renewed sense of hope. The
great thing about the touching WARP scene is that BARTZ mentions the long
forgotten BOKO, who has left to dedicate himself to making BOKU fruit juice.
That eased my heart, as I figured poor BOKO would be standing in front of the
cave where you left him like a poor sap. Well, maybe he is still is but at least
you thought of him. As you shoot off into a strange new world remember this:
French Poodles are the ugliest animals on earth.
************************************************************************
SECTION 2: GALUF'S WORLD
************************************************************************
I'm not quite sure what to call this other world, so I'll call it GALUF's
WORLD (because that's what they call it in the game.) So off you shoot through
the sky ala Y's for TG-16 or Wild Arms for the PSX. You end up on an island in
Galuf's world; if you remember Galuf ran after X-death when Mr. Death threatened
to destroy his world. This leaves you with two babes, which in my opinion could
be the end of the game right there! Unfortunately, you have the little task of
saving not one but two worlds, thus preventing you from living the ultimate male
fantasy: being trapped on a remote ocean island with a couple of babes! Ok, I'll
end my sexist comments now, on to the game!
WHERE IT ALL BEGINS PART 2: THE L'IL ISLAND
(currently watching THE LEECH WOMAN on MST3k)
After all the fanfare of shooting through time and space, you find
yourself on a small island (very similar to the one CELES finds herself on Final
Fantasy 3/6.) After regaining your senses, you'll have a few petty
conversations. There is only one enemy on this island, the lowly PAO; battling
him will eventually yield unto you a tent. Since there is no where else to go on
the island, pitch the tent to trigger the next sequence of events. In the middle
of the night, a monster tries to run off with Faris and Reina. Fight the beast
(known as ABDUCTOR) with Bartz. I'm not sure if it is possible to lose this
battle, but in any case this fight ends up with all three of you being captured
and thrown in a jail cell in X-Death's castle. While you are held up there, you
get to meet GILGAMESH, one of X-Death's high ranking henchman. He is given the
task of guarding your cell while X-Death goes off and uses a magic mirror to
coerce Galuf to come into the castle and rescue his friends. At this point, you
switch over to playing as just Galuf.
INSIDE X-DEATH'S CASTLE AND THE ONE BRIDGE OUT OF TOWN
Using Krile's Dragon, Galuf makes it into the castle and picks up the
crystal shards, thus preserving all of your hard earned jobs! Once in the main
castle, head to the save room and recovery fountain to the upper left. Heal up,
save your game, and head down into the dungeons. This section is pretty easy to
get through and there are no items to pick up. Before freeing your friends, you
have to battle GILGAMESH, the first of many encounters with this crusty
curmudgeon. (From Merriam-Webster's Dictionary: 2: A crusty, ill-tempered, and
usually old man.) GILGAMESH is just going to run away after you punch and kick
him for a while, so it might not be a bad idea to make Galuf a monk. When
GILGAMESH makes a run for the border, you will end up being reunited with your
friends. The escape from X-Death's castle is surprisingly easy. All you have to
do is walk out the front door!
Exiting the castle brings you into a green field with some odd looking
towers. You can't enter them just yet, so use a tent and save your game. Keep
walking west until you come to a long bridge connecting X-Death's Castle with
the main land. As you enter the bridge, you are treated to some REALLY cool
music! Assorted groups of enemies will pop out and attack you but they are not
too hard to finish off. Keep walking up the bridge until you reach the second
area with lookout towers. All too soon, you will find yourself fighting
GILGAMESH.
This time around GILGAMESH is a little tougher, but in the end he runs
away again. Casting MUTE at the beginning of the battle is a great idea because
it keeps GILGAMESH from casting protective magic on himself. Casting SLOW as a
TIME MAGE will also allow you to get more shots in on him while reducing his
offense to one hit per round. You will also need some healing magic as GILGAMESH
is much more aggressive than when you fought him with Galuf. For whatever
reason, he runs off again and you can continue to the end of the bridge. When
you near the very end you are a frisbee's throw distance from Krile. She is
holding an invisible door open for you (or something like that) but right as you
reach her X-Death turns on a HUGE magical barrier. Similar to that scene from
TOM CRUISE in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE (on the train?) you get blown halfway across
the world from the ignition of the barrier. Luckily you don't land in the middle
of the ocean, you land near...
LUGOR BORDERTOWN: WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS A LUGIE AND A HAWKER
Items to find: None
Ahhh beautiful LUGOR! Lex Lugor?! No, LUGOR BORDERTOWN! This quaint little
outpost can be found east of where you end up after the barrier explosion. There
are a few things to take care of here in Lugor besides the normal conversations.
First off the magic shops offer some good spells, especially BIO which wins the
coveted,"BRUPLEX COOL SOUND EFFECT AWARD." The weapon shop has some good
upgrades and the armor shop has the full line of GOLD armor and few other
goodies. You can stay at the Inn for free and when you visit the PUB you can
dance on the stage for 100 gp. Woo pee! Don't forget to play the piano (this
should be the 6th one you've played it.) The word on the street is there are
MOOGLES to be found 'round these parts, so that's exactly what your next order
of business will be. Before you leave town make sure you have at least one extra
PHOENIX DOWN.
MOOGLE FOREST: TO CATCH A MOOGLE
Items to find: Phoenix Down, 4400 gp
The Moogle Forest can be found to the southeast of Lugor in a distinct
patch of forest in between some white rock bands (no, not like POISON and BON
JOVI, actual rocks!) It might not be a bad idea to take along a cottage for the
trek down as the actual forest is quite far from Lugor. When you reach the
prominent patch of forest, you will cut to a close up scene. When you go over to
the moogle and talk to him, he freaks out and falls into a hole in the ground.
When you follow him underground, you will come to an aquifer of sorts.
This waterway does contain some enemies, so be ready for battle. There are two
treasures to get, neither of which are necessary for battle but quite nice to
have. In fact you want to make sure you have at least one Phoenix down when you
face the boss, so if you forgot to get one in town now is a good chance to grab
one. As you get through the underground cavern, you will come upon the Moogle
bouncing off a skeleton. It appears these two are facing off in MORTAL COMBAT--
so of course it is your virtue to step in an defend the Moogle's honor.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: Tyrannosaurus
*Level: 29
*HP: 5000
*Weakness: Cure, Phoenix Down
************************************************************************
Tyrannosaurus is a tough battle; OR it is the easiest boss fight in the
history of RPG's. Simply use a Phoenix Down and he's gone! That's it, POOF he's
dead! You could go through the trouble of whacking him with swords and casting
CURE magic, but why? Make this toothsome tyrannosaurus terminated with a simple
feather!
************************************************************************
MOOGLE VILLAGE: WHERE THE ELITE MEET TO BEET FEET
Items to find: Elf's Cloak, Ether, Phoenix Down, 10000 gp, 1 gp, Dancing Dirk,
Cottage
Once you have defeated Tyrannosaurus, the grateful Moogle will lead you to
his village. Watch very carefully the path he takes and DO NOT STEP ON THE
DESERT! This will almost always promote a difficult fight with a SANDCRAWLER,
which is not all that fun. If you do stumble across him, you'd better have a
Blue Mage or !BLUE ability with AQUARAKE or else you are gonna get HAMMERED!
(http://www.mchammer.com). If you follow the Moogle and retrace his steps, you
will not encounter enemies so PAY ATTENTION!! Once you reach the Moogle Village,
get ready to search. Wearing a MOOGLE COSTUME will allow you to get the main
group of treasures, so make sure you put it on before talking to the Moogle on
the roof. The suit is in the middle hut. Put it on and ROB THEM MOOGLES BLIN---
er, I mean accept their donated treasures.
Anyhow, when you talk to that particular roofbound-Moogle, it will prompt
a scene with Krile back at Val Castle. Apparently Moogles are telepathic and it
just so happens that Krile shares a room with a Moogle! After a little mental
telepathy, Krile takes off on her dragon (named: DRAGON, pretty original huh?)
to come rescue you guys. It is after this little scene that you find out Galuf
is in fact a KING. This is about as much of a plot twist as the Chicago Cubs
losing baseball games, but act surprised. It'll make your Playstation feel
better.
VAL CASTLE: ALL KINDS OF STUFF TO DO HERE!
Items to find: Hero Drink, Regal Cutlass, Lamia's Harp, Telepo, Angel Robe
Your initial goal is to rest and then speak with everyone you can find.
Val Castle is fairly huge, so you will have to spend some time to locate all the
goodies in the castle. Use your thief (or the secret ability) to find some of
the more hard to reach treasures. The stores are integrated into the castle and
essentially offer the same goods as Lugor. A few items, like the gauntlet, are
new but its pretty much the same stuff for armor, weapons, items and magic.
Finding the Regal Cutlass can be a little tricky; go to the water pool to the
west side of the castle and follow it to the outer rim of the moat. Walk all the
way to the end on the other side and press the action button (when you can't go
any further.) You will magically acquire the REGAL CUTLASS, a very strong weapon
for your Knight or anyone with the !SWORD ability. Retrace your steps and hit
the switch at the far end of the moat to get back in.
Once there, you can find more items by going to the room behind the
merchant via a staircase. If you search the wall next to the treasure chest, you
will find a hidden button that will grant you access to the Merchant's Shop. The
shop keep will give you the Lamia's harp to get you out of his shop. Sometimes
it pays to be annoying!!
Now, before you can go on your little quest a little problem has come up.
It seems that DRAGON has fallen ill from eating at WHITE CASTLE too many times.
Since TUMS have not been invented yet, the only cure for this big guy's gurgling
tunny tantrums is to retrieve a very rare and remote type of weed that will not
only calm his stomach but prevent future bouts of ACID REFLUX. With word from
the recently revealed KING Galuf, your party stocks up and heads north to find
the grass in the valley of the dragons.
KELB VILLAGE: A BUNCH OF DAMN WORE-WILFS!!
http://www.scifi.com//mst3000/experiements/904/
Items to find: Kurango's Gourd
Before getting up into the Valley of the Dragons, you must first go
through the gateway town of KELB. Kelb is in habited with friendly werewolf
types, not unlike the pickpocket you may have freed from Prison in the "Old
World". There is much to do in this town. Your first goal is to talk to Kelga,
who challenges you to a battle. A great deal of the story is revealed at this
point, but all I'm gonna say is that Kelga is one of the Dawn Warriors and he
knew Bartz's father. Once you butter up Kelga and get on his good side, you will
have permission to head up into the mountains to get the dragon grass.
First and foremost, learn the REQUIEM song from the little werewolves to
the northeast side of town. There are a plethora of UNDEAD enemies ahead and the
REQUIEM song is perfect for sending them BACK TO THE GRAVE!! Besides
maintaining/upgrading your weapons, this town offers the chance to earn a very
odd item: The Korango Gourd. This item greatly increases your chances of
catching a creature while you are a TRAINER. Here's the sequence to getting it:
--Check out the well in the southwest portion of town. When you investigate, a
wizard guy will pop out and ask you for a frog. Unlike the little frogs that
sometimes appear in town, you have to actually capture a giant frog to appease
the old man. Luckily, such frogs exist just north of town.
--Get into a battle with a KORANGO Frog and simply put, capture him with a
trainer. Easier said than done, but when you finally do...
--Return to the village and give the man the Frog. In exchange, he will give you
the Korango's Gourd.
--Doesn't the KORANGO Gourd sound like those weird husks of fruit African
Tribesman put over their weiners?
VALLEY OF THE DRAGONS: GRAZING IN THE GRASS IS A GAS!!
Items to find: Cottage, 7000 gp, Coronet, Wind Storm, Phoenix Down, 5000 gp--
special item: BONEMAIL
There are some neato items to acquire in the Valley of the Dragons. It
seems pretty easy at first because you don't get into any battles. But all good
things must come to an end.
***NOTE: FOR THOSE OF YOU ON GAMEFAQS, IT WAS AT THIS IRONIC POINT WHERE MY
WHOLE FAQ WAS ERASED AND I HAD TO RETYPE IT -- WHEN PLAYING GAMES, FEEL FREE TO
CURSE THE NAME OF ROSS FOR ERASING IT**THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
Now where were we? Oh yes, the whole Dragon Valley thing! After crossing
the bridge, you will begin to have encounters. Since some of these creatures are
Undead, Cure and the REQUIEM song work well against them. As you come across
this bridge, prepare for an encounter with GOLEM. It is very important that you
do NOT attack him during your first encounter (this means if you have any
BERSERKERS in your party, change them before the bridge!) When you first see
him, he will attack you once and run away. Make sure you do not attack him. Walk
around for a while after this encounter and you will again run into GOLEM; this
time he is being attacked by a SKELESAUR and DRAGON ZOMBIE. The key here is too
attack the enemies without hurting GOLEM. If you do so, you will earn GOLEM as a
summon spell. The easiest way to do this is to have your BARD sing REQUIEM and
simply concentrate your attacks on the individual enemies. When you defeat the
baddies, you will have won the power of GOLEM!
Another curiosity here on the mountain is the Bonemail. It can be found by
searching the pile of bones to the right of a small path in the green area.
While it offers incredible protection, you cannot cast CURE spells on the person
wearing it or else you will seriously hurt them. Likewise, some enemy attacks
will heal you when wearing this boney shell. If used wisely, the bonemail is a
worthy piece of protection to acquire.
After all that fun, you will reach the top of the peak, where the sacred
DRAGONGRASS is. This is the SECOND time you have to save a Dragon, so maybe you
should have pocketed the Dragongrass from the last time. Before getting it of
course, you have to fight--
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE:DRAGONGRASS and DRAGONBULBS
*Level: 29
*HP: 12,000
*Weakness: None, resistant to FIRE SPELLS
************************************************************************
Start off this melee by casting GOLEM's EARTH WALL. This summon magic will
keep the Pollen from poisoning you. Your best bet is to concentrate your attacks
on the main piece of grass, since the attacks your enemy will throw forth are
pretty weak. Gather the DRAGONGRASS and the BONUS ELIXIR and prepare to head
back to Val Castle to heal KRILE's dragon.
************************************************************************
BACK TO VAL CASTLE: THE SICK AWAIT YOU
Items: You already got em' (SEE VAL CASTLE SECTION A LITTLE WAYS BACK)
When you get back to Val Castle, not only is the Dragon still sick but
Krile isn't feeling too well either. Apparently she made one too many runs to
the border and has SEVEN LAYERS twisting her stomach into a hardball! TACO BELL
will do that to a girl. She does inform you a sage named GILL has requested your
presence in his shrine, so that will be your next stop after feeding the healing
grass to the sick DRAGON. Head to the roof and allow him to munch on the
DRAGONGRASS, thus enabling him to fly you anywhere you need to go (except over
mountains.)
GILL'S SHRINE
Items to find: None
Flying Northeast of Kelb, you will find a small island with a lone cave on
it. This is Gill's home and where you need to be to gather further information.
Unfortunately, the whole place collapses before you get a chance to accomplish
ANYTHING. Despite this unsettling ( ha-ha) set back, your intrepid group should
head to the unexplored castle to the West.
SURGATE CASTLE: SISTER CASTLE TO THE FAMOUS COLGATE TOOTHPASTE MANSION
Items to find: 5000 gp, FLOAT spell
Because of your company with Galuf, the soldiers of Surgate welcome you
like the old friend you are. You are given free reign to take anything in the
castle, which unfortunately is limited to three items: SONG OF SPEED, 5000 gp,
and the FLOAT SPELL. The SONG of SPEED can be found in the King's room, on his
desk. The main thrust of your searching takes place in the library. Once you get
there, a man will ask you to help him put some books back on the shelf. The
solution is as follows: "Forbidden Book" goes on the center left shelf on the
top, "Register of Monsters" goes in the far right shelf in the middle, and
"Weird Ronka" goes center left shelf on the bottom. This prompts the librarian
to exit through a secret door; follow him to get the other two items.
What do you suppose "Weird Ronka" is all about anyhow? What constitutes
normal Ronka? Ronka...hmmm...Anyway, the rest of your Surgate adventure involves
getting knowledge about Zeza, another one of the legendary Dawn Warriors. Your
next stop is to locate and talk to Zeza, who can be found East of X-death's
castle.
ZEZA's FLEET
Items to find: None
Has anyone seen the EGGPLANT WIZARDS from KID ICARUS? For some reason,
that's what I picture Zeza looking like. His ship is the largest in the fleet,
so large that you can land your Dragon on the deck. You get more of the
backstory here, and settle in for the night. While you are off dreaming about
"Weird Ronka", a group of monsters attacks the ship!! You awake in your Scooby
Doo pajamas to fight off the menacing hoards, culminating in another battle with
GILGAMESH!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: GILGAMESH AND ENKIDOH
*Levels: GILGAMESH (runs away)/ Enkidoh=29
*HP: Gilgamesh=Runs away/ Enkidoh=4000
*Weakness: none
************************************************************************
This fight starts off as another GILGAMESH confrontation but he is soon
joined by Enkidoh, who has the power to heal both himself and GILGAMESH. Your
first priority is to silence Enkidoh them hammer away at GILGAMESH. TOSS with
your Samurai is always effective if you have the gold to spare; Monks and TITAN
also put the hurt on this big scare-dy cat. Eventually you will be left with
only Enkidoh to deal with, whom you can easily dispose of. As a side note,
anytime you battle GILGAMESH is an opportunity to steal a GENJI GLOVE, a very
good relic that adds +12 defense and +1 magic defense, with a weight of 6. This
is not to be confused with the non-existent BENJI GLOVE, soft winter mittens
featuring the likeness of the lovable 70's adventure pooch emblazoned on each
glove.
************************************************************************
ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS: KNOCKING OUT THE SHIELD GENERATOR
Items to find: Blood Sword, Hair Ornament, 9000 gp, 18,000 gp
The more you talk with Zeza, the more of the battle plan becomes evident.
A sneak attack on the shield generator from underwater is the plan and you
volunteer your services to help Zeza shut it down for a chance to get X-Death.
Feel free to restock your goods and rest up before going down into the sub. When
you finally head into the secret tunnel, Zeza heads to the basement while your
group takes care of business on the upper floors. Before leaving he gives you
the "whisper grass" ( yup, this one is a long shot) that serves as a
communication radio. With Zeza tending to knocking out the power supply, it's up
to you to destroy the antenna. Along the way are some tough fights hidden in
treasure chests; don't be bashful when you battle these enemies. You should have
enough resources to survive the final boss fight, plus there will be a save
point before reaching the top of the tower. After saving, it's time to fight
another burly boss, the fearsome ATOMOS!!!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: ATOMOS
*Level: 41
*HP: 19,997
*Weakness: None
************************************************************************
Atomos is a gollywhomper of an enemy. Not only does he boast an amazingly
high amount of hit points, he also knows the COMET spell and isn't afraid to use
it. He will cast COMET anytime you cast a revival spell, so your goal is to
finish this guy off quickly! He can also suck downed members of your party into
his vortex, making them completely gone until the end of the battle! My best
strategy: 4 Samurais and the $TOSS ability. It may empty your gold reserves but
it is your strongest attack and it beats trying to out stratigize Atmomos. If
you are low on money, you can go with Knights and Monks as well. Make sure
someone has the !White ability to heal when Atomos attacks.
************************************************************************
THIS IS THE END, MY FRIEND:
ZEZA'S DEMISE
After the power is shut off and Atomos defeated, the tower begins to
collapse. While you have the luxury of the Dragon to make a hasty retreat, poor
Zeza is trapped in the bowels of the tower with no way out. This is a
particularly hard time for Galuf, but he will eventually return to the cause.
Give him a little time to himself. When he rejoins your group, he suggests that
you should visit Gill the sage, whose cave collapsed on you when you tried to
enter it. Luckily for you, the location is the same and will be blinking on your
map when you check it out. On to the shrine!!
GILL'S SHRINE: MORE LIKE GILL'S DIRTY CAVE
Items to find: None
When you enter Gill's "shrine", you are confronted with a puzzle involving
some chests and a stone. I'll give you the quick and easy solution: place the
stone from the CENTER chest and put it in the UPPER LEFT chest; this will open
up a passageway with a switch at the end of it. Flip the switch and return to
the main area. Next place it in the bottom left, and that will open the door to
need to meet Gill the Sage. Upon meeting him, you first notice something is a
little odd about him: he is a TURTLE! Despite this slightly unsettling
observation, Gill is a well of knowledge and more importantly he tells you where
to head next: the Magical Living Moore Forest! He gives you the ELDER'S BRANCH,
which serves as a means to enter the forest.
You have a couple options of what to do next. One involves heading
directly to Moore Village/Forest and taking care of business OR you can figure
out a way to reach the secret cave where you can find another summon. How about
we find that summon first, eh?
SECRET TUNNEL: A PLACE TO FIND THE SHOAT SUMMON
Items to find: Shoat Summon
Ok, pinpointing this little cave takes some savvy with the submarine. The
easiest way to find it is to locate the blinking dot on your map way north; it
will only appear when you are underwater. There will be some red "shrubs" right
before the entrance tunnel. Boogie on through and you will pop out in an area
surrounded by mountains. There are a few enemies here; walk around until you
encounter SHOAT, the fierce boar with a jewel in his head. You might also
encounter a certain female Chocobo who has the hots for BOKO...hehe!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE:SHOAT
*Level: 38
*Hp: 5000
*Weakness: None
************************************************************************
There are a few different ways to go about defeating Shoat. The quickest
way is to hammer him with the $TOSS ability with your Samurai. If you want to
save money, making a DANCER and equipping her with a RIBBON will help prevents
SHOAT's most deadly attack: Evil Eye, which turns you to stone. If not, have
lots of SOFTS ready to fix up your marble-ized friends. With the Samurai, it
only takes three TOSSES so a combination of TOSS and other attacks are your most
efficient way to win this little piggy as a summon magic.
************************************************************************
BACK ON TRACK:
MOORE VILLAGE
Items to find: Hunting Knife
Who was your favorite James Bond in the movies? Many like ROGER MOORE, who
was the original Bond and went on to have a small video game village named after
him. You need your yellow submarine to find your way to Moore Village, located
to the north on the western continent. Use your undersea map to pinpoint it with
a blinking dot. There's a few thing to do while visiting this secluded little
villa. There is your seventh piano to play, a hunting knife to be found in the
barrel in the southwest part of town, and a lot of strong Diamond armor to look
into . You'll also have the option to pick up some of your higher level spells
if you haven't already.
As always, stock up on cottages and rest up. The more you talk to the
villagers, the "Moore" clues you get (ha-ha!) about the forest. Moore forest is
pretty challenging section and you want to be ready for it. Don't forget to
save!
MOORE FOREST: ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES....DOH!
Items to find: 2500 gp, Ether, 4900 gp, Phoenix Down, 9500 gp, Cottage, Giant
Drink, Elixir, Mace, Aegis OR Flame Shield, Ash, Flame Saber
Look at all of those items to get! Woo hoo! With your Elder's Branch as
your key, enter the forest and navigate your way though the twisty paths. If you
get stuck look for the WOOD SPRITES in the tiny holes in some of the trees.
Locating them will open up paths needed to reach items and the next area. In the
first section, look to the upper right for the first wood sprite. The second
section has a wood sprite in the top-middle section. After that, there will be
an area with a save point; use a cottage and save.
Continuing north, you eventually hook to the left. There you will see a
treasure chest; if you would like an AEGIS SHIELD, grab it now. If you haven't
noticed, the forest has caught fire! While it looks like the end for our four
friends, a MOOGLE suddenly runs Kramer-style into the scene, caught in a frenzy
of panic. He drills a hole into the ground and your only option is to follow
him. Falling to the ground, you will find a recovery spring and your moogle
pals. Sit around for a while, absorb the ambiance, relax. In about a minute,
talk to the Moogles. They will grant you passage back into the charred forest,
where your party is immediately wiped out by a pissed off Smokey the Bear! Just
kidding! If you grab the treasure chest where the AEGIS SHIELD was you will get
a FLAME SHIELD instead. The AEGIS SHIELD randomly blocks Magic attacks, but the
FLAME SHIELD has stronger defense, magic defense, and evade percentage. I'd say
go with the FLAME SHIELD. Head to the left of the burnt forest, making sure to
grab the items along the way. When you are close to the ELDER TREE, the ELDER
BRANCH will show you the way. MAKE SURE YOU ARE HEALED WHEN TALKING TO THE
TREE!! You have perhaps your hardest battle up to this point ahead of you.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: SEAL GUARDIANS
*Level: 77
*HP: 7777
*Weakness: CHANGES
************************************************************************
The Seal Guardians stand to be your fiercest adversaries at this point, so
get ready! Each of the guardians has their own elemental weakness, so casting
group spells is rather ineffective. The easiest way to beat them is to create
four Samurais and use your $TOSS ability to knock them out in about 5 tosses.
While this is an expensive tactic, it can save you a lot of frustration.
If you'd rather fight them head on (or don't have a lot of money to throw
away), keep this in mind: the properties the guardians have are Bolt, Fire, Ice,
and Earth. Casting FLOAT will help avoid the ground attacks of EARTH BOSS. Once
strategy is to summon TITAN three times in your first turn to knock off three of
the bosses, leaving only the EARTH boss. While this is good in idea, it often
doesn't work as planned. Besides having some awesome attacks, when you kill a
guardian it will cast a powerful spell before it dies (in accordance to its
power.) If you must knock them out one at a time, focus on whatever weakness
that boss may have and hammer it with High Level spells. Make sure you aren't
wearing the BONE MAIL if you want to be able to heal your team because CURE and
resurrection spells won't work with those wearing the BONE MAIL.
************************************************************************
X-DEATH RETURNS AND GALUF EXITS STAGE LEFT
Hurray you beat the SEAL GUARDIANS!! Now it's time to relax and...fight X-
DEATH?!! Not to worry, this is one of those automatic battles so you don't have
to worry about losing your game progress and waiting FOREVER for the friggen
game to re-load. The last remaining Dawn Warrior, Galuf, challenges X-Death Head
on by himself; this prompts Krile to fly in from VAL castle, due to a gut
feeling she has that something is wrong. In the fight, Galuf will be reduced to
0 hp but continue to fight. You will get a taste of what X-Death is capable of
throwing at you as well, including high level FLARE spells and COMET.
In the end, GALUF is able to hold off X-DEATH but sacrifices his life in
the process. Krile joins your party in his STEAD making your hero BARTZ a STUD
because he has 3 women in his party! Lucky dog!! Instead of taking advantage of
this scenario, you decide to run off and avenge Galuf's death.
X-DEATH'S CASTLE: TIME TO OPEN A HEARTY CAN OF WHOOP ASS
Items to find: Diamond Shield, Ether X 2, Ice Shield, Elixir X 2, Gale Bow,
Kotetsu, Blizzard, 9900 gp, 8000 gp, Double Lance, Partisan, MagiShuriken
X-Death's castle is a long and tricky maze to work through. The first
thing you should do is make sure you have a GEOMANCER readily available to your
group. Though this is one of the very few areas where he is useful, it will save
you a ton of trouble. With a GEOMANCER you will avoid trap doors and not take
damage from floors with poison or flames. With that in mind, get ready to enter
the castle. There are thirteen floors to scurry up, though initially it seems
like there are only three. The smooth-castle like interior of the maze is a mere
illusion, but the DIAMOND SHIELD and ETHER you can pick up are not! There is a
save point on the first floor which you should take advantage of. If you get
stuck, head back up to the third floor. Krile will notice the illusion if you
enter the center door on the third floor. This will change the maze into a more
organic, fleshy looking type of structure. There are a lot of treasure chests to
get here. A Thief or someone with the SECRET ability will help you find them
all. Here is a summary of the puzzles you will face:
** On the fourth floor, make your way to the room to the left and hit the
switch; the door to the next level will be the one to the left
**On the fifth floor, the funky door will be your key to reaching the sixth
floor. There are hidden treasures on the sixth floor, so put your secret ability
to good use. If you like archers, the GALE BOW can be find well off the beaten
path to the far bottom right.
** The seventh floor has a relatively easy skill game; press the X button and
stop the platform in the dead center so it is aligned with the door. Proceed to
the save point and use your cottage or tent.
**The eighth floor is straight forward; on the ninth floor head south to reach
the next floor.
**On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, ten lords a leapin'*.
**The tenth floor has a lot going on; it is imperative to have a GEOMANCER in
your party at this point. Pick up a DOUBLE LANCE to the far right and scoot
around to look at the Ghosts N' Goblinsesque wall panel to the middle-far right.
This will pit you against yet another summon monster, CARBUNCLE.
*=Who wants ONE lord a leapin anyways? Why ten? What are you gonna do with em?
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: CARBUNCLE (he's not MY uncle!)
*Level: 44
*HP: 15,000
*Weakness: None
************************************************************************
Wall Rings or Reflect will help you withstand Carbuncle's barrage of magic
attacks. Since he has a relatively high amount of HP's, it will take some time
to knock him out. As always, the SAMURAI's toss is a nice skill to have.
Luckily, Carbuncle doesn't have any real tricky things up his sleeve, so your
normal heal/attack with reflect or wall rings works great. You can also steal a
WALL RING from Carbuncle. So the key to winning: putting up the WALL! We don't
need no education! (famous guitar riff) We don't need no false control! etc.
************************************************************************
(currently listening to: She Thinks She's Edith Head; They Might Be Giants)
After defeating Carbuncle, save your game on the lower floors and return
to the tenth floor and take the stair case at the bottom of the screen. This
will lead to a save point, which you better use and then its off to face...take
a guess here...GILGAMESH!!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: GILGAMESH ( AGAIN!)
*Level: none
*HP: he runs away
************************************************************************
With decent WHITE magic and normal attacks, GILGAMESH will scurry off in
no time. You may want to use TOSS to expedite the process. Casting PROTES isn't
a bad idea either, to boost your defensive position. After a GILGAMESH is sent
off to another place... it's time to fight the man himself...X-DEATH!!!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: X-DEATH
*Level: 66
*HP: 32, 768
*Weakness: Holy
************************************************************************
Here he is, good Ol' X-Death. The best way to knock out X-Death is using
your Ninja to toss SHURIKENS and the $TOSS ability with your Samurai. Casting
GOLEM, HASTE2, and PROTES are also some good ideas to withstand the brutal
barrage of X-Death's attacks. White magic is vital so keep your party as healed
as possible and do not relent your attacks on X-Death. Most high level BLACK
spells, such as BOLT3, are effective. Its good to be around level 33 or so to
give your guys a fighting chance! Of course you don't really KILL X-DEATH, but
once you defeat him it's on to PART 3 of the game...
************************************************************************
END OF PART 2
************************************************************************
Well Galuf is gone, Hydra is gone, the Dawn Warriors all dead... pretty
depressing. With your defeat of X-Death, something very curious has happened;
the two worlds have fused together into one single map! Your goals in this Brave
New World are not immediately obvious, that is until X-DEATH starts sucking
whole chunks of the world into the N-Zone. The whole thing starts off with back
at good ol Tycoon castle...and great news for you BOKO fans.....
************************************************************************
TYCOON CASTLE: BACK FOR MORE FUN WITH THOSE CRAZY SISTERS
Items to find: none
When all is said and done, you will still control BARTZ. Head into TYCOON
castle and join the party there with REINA and FARIS. Talk to everyone,
including KRILE who joins up with you immediately. Also visit Jenica in the
basement; she will tell you tales of the young princesses and remind you of the
awful reality that FARIS was once named SALSA. That name is as bad as BUTZ. I'm
leaving the details for you, plus a VERY exciting event is about to take place
when you exit the castle and head to the west just a bit....
THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF BOKO!!! YES YES YES YES!!!
Right where you left the little bugger is BOKO, who has married KOKO and
gotten himself a little slice of the action, IF you know what I mean. Despite
there being a BUN in KOKO's OVEN, BOKO takes the route of the deadbeat Dad and
joins you on your quest to save the world from the N-Zone. Cruise around the
world with him, rejoice, celebrate, the fabled BOKO is still alive!! You and
Krile are happy for the old Bird, and decide to ride him NORTH OF TYCOON where
you promptly FALL IN A BIG HOLE. Way to go Boko. Loser.
THE CAVE IN CAVE: AIN'T IT A RAVE?
As you explore the rivers and forests, you will eventually fall into a big
ol sinkhole. Your main goal here is to engage in a creature called ANTOLYON,
cousin of JACKOLANTERN, Irish Ancestor of CONANOBRIAN. This is another battle
where the enemy simply runs away, so pound at him with physical attacks and Ant
O'Lyon will return to the crummy hole he climbed out of. After standing around
for a while, a rope will shoot down the beam of light: it's FARIS and you are
again up to three members of your group! She rejoins you and it's off to visit
Gill the turtle-sage.
Journey on to the south west to find Gill's Shrine. You learn a lot of the
plot here, including a nice visit from X-Death sponsored by the department of
PLOT AND BACKSTORY. X-Death's goal is to suck the current world into the N-Zone,
where he will be the supreme ruler and darkness and chaos will rule forever BWAA
HAA HAA!! He also flips ol' Gill upside down, which is always amusing to
witness. Well, its time to head to the LIBRARY AGAIN..*sigh* gotta go get an
edu-macation.
THE LIBRARY OF ANCIENTS: GETTING YOUR BRAIN BEEFED UP BY ARYAN MEN
Items to find: Sealed Book
Gill will ship your party over to the LIBRARY where a great many things
are to be learned. To summarize: There are these lithographs, ok? Four of em?
You gotta get them, bring them to the SEALED CASTLE, retrieve the 12 special
weapons, and save the world. The Scholars give you the SEALED BOOK and
information on TIME SHARE CONDOMINIUMS in BIMINI for listening to them. The
Sealed book lets you open some passages to get the lithographs.
While in the library, return to the book burners ( see what I mean about
ARYANS??) on the roof and talk to one fellow to get another BARD song you will
probably NEVER USE: The SONG OF MAGIC.
>From here its a long trek west, with a pit stop at the ELDER TREE. When you get
to the desert, your Pavlovian fear of SANDWORMS and QUADRAHARPIES is put to
rest: the desert is not as animated as it once was. This means you have clear
and easy passage to the Pyramid. Before you enter the Pyramid, please put aside
a good chunk of time because this section can a take a while to clear--
THE PYRAMID: A MYRIAD OF PUZZLES FOR THE INTELLECTUALLY INCLINED
Items to find:
**Monsters/ Ice Shield
Hex Ring
**3rd Floor
Monsters/Flame Shield
Monsters/Dark Matter
Monsters/White Robe
**4rth Floor
Elixir X 2
Monsters/Black Robe
Thornlet
**5th Floor
Monsters/Dark Matter
Monsters/Black Costume
**6th Floor
Monsters/Dark matter
Monsters/Crystal Mail
**7th Floor (Housing goods, ladies Lingerie, and cook ware)
Monsters/Dark Matter X 4
9000 gp
8000 gp
10000 gp
Elixir X 2
Cottage
Monsters/Earth Hammer
12000 gp
**8th Floor
Ribbon
Protect Ring
Hair Ornament
Lithograph
Whew! Lots of stuff to gather! A ton of Dark Matter to pick up will later
be useful for your Chemist. Most of the good stuff is guarded by monsters, but
worth picking up. It is wise to bring a BARD with REQUIEM and a thief with the
secret ability. Requiem will waste most of the beasts you will encounter, since
it is a song to return the undead to the dead. Before entering the pyramid, you
have to battle the guardians of the Lithograph shrines, the GARGOYLES!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: GARGOYLES
*Level: 32
*HP: about 10000 each
*Weakness: none
************************************************************************
The Gargoyles will rumble to life when you use the SEALED BOOK to enter
the Shrine. Since they don't have any special abilities, a balanced attack with
magic and arms will work to wreck these stone foes. Bolt magic is effective;
make sure that you balance your attacks out between the two of them because of
you kill only one, chances are his buddy will revive him. Defeat them and enter
the Pyramid.
************************************************************************
The Pyramid is a long and tricky maze, filled with scores of undead
enemies. Most puzzles are a matter of trial and error, such as flipping switches
to clear a path through spikes. I'm sure that you shouldn't have a problem with
most of the level puzzles; just check the ITEMS TO FIND guide to see what can be
found on each floor after opening the path to the next floor. There are a few
specialized enemies, such as mechaheads, who you must fight to gain access to
treasures and higher levels (don't worry they are a pushover for bolt based
magic.) Also, the coffins contain many mummies, who are easily injured and
disposed with the REQUIEM song. The only real tricky part of the Pyramid is the
8th floor, where the shifting floors require you to pay close attention to what
and where the panels disappear (those of you who have played Megaman know the
drill.) Surprisingly, there is no boss guarding the lithograph at the top; grab
it and it is your key to opening the sealed castle and gaining access to three
weapons of your choice!
TO ELDER'S TREE TO REGAIN REINA
Items to Find: none
Heal your wounds after the battles in the pyramid and head to the Elder's
tree. There you will find Reina possessed by the foxxy and pretty much naked
MELLUSION.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: MELLUSION
*Level: 31
*HP: 20000
*Weakness: varies
************************************************************************
The foxxy Mellusion also has the trademark Final Fantasy changing
weaknesses. Scan her for her weakness, but watch out when she cast WALL CHANGE;
that will (surprise!) change what attacks will hurt her. Since there are three
you, you may want to TOSS or THROW at least once to eliminate about a quarter of
her health. Physical attacks are effective too, especially with your stronger
weapons. Destroy the pretty lady and heal Reina. She will rejoin your party.
************************************************************************
Your Airship will be waiting for you on the Eastern coast, so hop to it.
While your goal is to head to the sealed castle, you may want to fly around for
a while and see what there is to see. The Sealed Castle is northeast of Tule
village, but there are a lot of things to see now that the two worlds have
become one. Fly around and piece together where everything has fallen into
place. Basically, the two worlds are overlapped.
THE SEALED CASTLE: WHERE GREAT THINGS LIE IN WAIT
Items to find: Legendary Weapons
Way back when WORLD 1 was still WORLD 1 ( Bartz's world), you probably
tried to enter the SEALED CASTLE to no avail. Now that you have the Book and a
Lithograph, entering will not be a problem. Talk to all the nerdy scholars here
and make sure to hit the healing spring before entering the main hall. This
lithograph allows you three of the 12 weapons; there are as follows:
(note: you don't have to guess which is which; you will have the option to
refuse a weapon you don't want)
MASAMUNE: Allows first attack in battle ability
RUNE AXE: MP used for critical attacks.
HOLY LANCE: A lance strengthened with HOLY.
NINJA BLADE: Increases your evade rate.
EXCALIBUR: Another weapon fortified with the HOLY power.
EARTH BELL: It will randomly cast QUAKE.
APOLON HARP: Increases critical hit % when fighting Dragons.
MAGNUS ROD: Fortified with ALL elements, increases Magic power.
YOICHIS BOW: Increased Critical hit %.
FIRE BUTE: Hehe-- err, I mean will randomly cast FIRE3.
SAGE STAFF: Increases the power of HOLY.
ASSASSIN DAGGER: Can kill Random targets.
As you enter the area with the weapons, you may be confronted by a SHIELD
DRAGON, a strong foe of the undead variety. He has 19,999 HP and starts the
battle equipped with REFLECT. He is still vulnerable to REQUIEM and a trainer
can make the Dragon cast FLAME on itself. If you don't kill him, he will still
there when you come back, so it's a good idea to finish him off when you can.
Select whatever weapons will best suit your party. After choosing three, you
have an unexpected visitor on your way out...
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: X-DEATH SOUL
*Level: ??
*HP: 22,00 or so--
************************************************************************
Another one of those battles where you have to fight your heart out only
to have the guy you are fighting run away. X-Death SOUL is pretty much the same
battle as X-Death; you do have the option of running away if things get too
hairy. When you are strong enough, you can actually defeat him and be rid of his
presence.
************************************************************************
At this point in the game, you have earned a quarter of the weapons from
the sealed castle, so you have a few options as to where to go next. Going to
WALZ to SLAUGHTER THE HARPY in the basement out of spite might be fun! There is
also a place called GILGAME's CAVE that features a very good place to increase
your levels and gather gold, provided you are strong enough to do so. So let's
start there.
GILGAME'S CAVE: NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART
Items to find: GP strewn about everywhere.
GILGAME'S CAVE can be found in a white cave just west of where the big
bridge leading to X-Death's castle was. Pressing X in the cave at random spots
will often yield unto you gold deposits, a great find indeed! While there is
nothing else of importance here, it is a good place to test your meddle and get
some GP in the process.
PIRATE'S HIDEOUT: TO ENLIST THE HELP OF YOUR SERPENTINE FRIEND.
Items to find: Tent, 300 gp, Ether, HYDRA Summon
Do you remember where the Pirate's Hideout was? It was in the cave in the
very beginning of the game, North of where the Meteor Landed in Tycoon. Return
there via Airship and talk to Faris's loyal crew. A few cheap items can be
gathered here, but the main reason you come back is to earn the powerful HYDRA
summon (the big dragon that pulled your ship in the beginning of the game,
remember?) Not too hard, but you probably wouldn't think to come back here
otherwise.
NEXT AIRSHIP STOP: VAL CASTLE VIA JACHOL CAVES
Items to Find: Odin SUMMON MAGIC
Make sure that you save and heal yourself outside of Jachol Caves. Because
of the new world alignment, going through the once perilous Jachol Caves will
lead you to a very hard battle with Odin. The caves themselves won't be hard at
this point, so move quickly through them hitting the switches to open new
passages. Soon you will come to Odin.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: ODIN
*Level: 2
*HP 17,000
*Weakness: BREAK
************************************************************************
When you encounter ODIN, he will challenge you to a battle. You are given
a mere minute to defeat him, so you better hit him fast and hard. While he is
occasionally susceptible to the BREAK spell, it will normally miss so rely on
your high level magic and your recently found HYDRA summon to hurt Odin. $TOSS
is extremely useful in this battle, if you haven't already blown your money on
other stuff. Besides the Time limit, Odin hits hard so be sure to have a White
Mage or !WHITE on standby. It's a good idea to wait until you are about level 38
to confront ODIN, otherwise you will have a frustrating time defeating him. Once
he is sent to Valhalla, you earn him as a new SUMMON MAGIC.
************************************************************************
MORE MEMORY GAMES: FINDING MOORE VILLAGE
Items to find: Chicken or Brave Blade
Though I didn't use this sequence to get these items, most of the guides I
read have them around this time in the game, so I'll go with it. If you remember
where Moore Village was (you could only get there via submarine before, but now
you can fly there). It is distinctly surrounded by mountains, similar to how
Rikks Village was. Anyhow, once there sneak through the woods near the cottage
to the bottom left. A mage at the end of the maze will ask you to pick a box. If
you are BRAVE, get the BRAVE BLADE, if not get the CHICKEN BLADE--
The strength of these weapons depends on how many times you've run from
battle. The BRAVE BLADE will be very strong if you have never run away, and the
CHICKEN BLADE gets stronger the more you run away. This includes future run
aways as well as past. Not a necessary item, but a fun little thing to have.
CRESCENT TOWN: TO EARN ANOTHER LOUSY SONG
Items to find: POWER SONG
I'm sure you can find CRESCENT to the east. Go into the Bard's House to
the bottom right and learn the power song. 'Nuff said!
MIRAGE VILLAGE:THE BRIGADOON OF FINAL FANTASY 5
Items to find: Thief's Knife
If you follow the tract of land SOUTH WEST of Crescent town, you will find
another one of those almost-square patches of forest below you. Explore it and
it will look like you are getting into a battle, but low and behold you will end
up in a small, mysterious town. Much like DAWN from the ULTIMA:EXODUS game for
the NES, this is a magic place with some happening weapons and items. There are
lots of hidden merchants to hunt out in town, so have your SECRET ability ready.
Also, check the barrel at the bottom behind the bar to score the thief's Knife.
Now, besides hunting out the Merchants, there are a few other nifty things
to uncover in MIRAGE. Your FINAL PIANO is waiting in the southern part of town.
Tickle the ivories one last time, then head to the Minstrel in Crescent. The BIG
REWARD, the one you've waited ALL GAME FOR is: YOU GET CALLED A MAGNIFICENT
PIANIST!! Ewwwwww...and you get the LEVEL SONG, a Bard's tune. I know, you
wanted more, but hey at least you were called a PIANIST. Butz the pianist.
A second little quest that you can embark is the challenge of the man who
tells you to ride around the world on a yellow Chocobo. The way this works is
you get your reward when you get there with the Chocobo, you don't have to
return to him once you've ridden around the world. Find the Yellow BOKO head on
your map and fly your airship there. Ride him all the way through rivers to an
area near Easterly Village (generally aim northwest). Search the WATERFALL there
to find the MAGIC LAMP; which will SUMMON random SUMMON monsters. A nice but
unpredictable prize.
Also note, there is a BLACK CHOCOBO, which offers the only transportation
to a few areas in the game, so keep this in mind-- he's not just there for
decoration!
INTERMISSION:
WHEW, THESE THINGS TAKE A LOT OF WORK!
*watched GORGO in its entirety*
ISLAND SHRINE: TO THE NEXT LITHOGRAPH!!
Items to find: 12000 gp, Razor Ring, 9000 gp, Elixir, Protect Ring, Crystal
Helmet, Ether, Beast Killer, Ether, Dragon Fang, Circlet, Dark Matter,
Lithograph
The ISLAND SHRINE can be found to the northeast of VAL CASTLE, in the
middle of two very nice bridges connecting two seemingly useless pieces of land
together. You have the standard GARGOYLE BATTLE before you can enter. When you
get in, you will see two switches. Of the three possible patterns, only one
brings you to the right place-- here's a summary:
BOTH UP: Regular Air duct; you'll return to the room you were just at
BOTH DOWN: Brings you to a chest with 9000 gp, then back to where you started
RIGHT DOWN, LEFT UP: Brings you to an ELIXIR and back where you started.
LEFT DOWN, RIGHT UP: RAZOR RING, Save point, and the rest of the shrine.
With that under your belt, the way is pretty straight forward. As a note,
using a GEOMANCER will help you find traps and the CAUTION ability will prevent
you from being surprised by some of the tougher enemies, like TOTE AVIS. You'll
also need to scan for a few secret passages, so make sure you use SECRET from
time to time. When you get to the top of the whole thing, you will gather a
lithograph and have yet another BOSS BATTLE.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: STOKER
*Level: 7
*HP: 20000
Weakness: None
************************************************************************
Unlike the other bosses you have faced, if you want to use $TOSS against
this guy, know that he will counter attack with BLAZE four times if you use any
group spells or attacks against him. Only one image is real, so there are a few
options available to you. If you have them, equip FIRE SHIELDS and FIRE RINGS to
absorb Stoker's fire based attacks. This makes him OK to hit with Group Spells
or $TOSS because his BLAZE SPELL will heal you. The PROTECT RING is another item
worthy to have equipped. Summoning GOLEM will boost your defensive properties.
If you do not have FIRE gear, you'll have to take your chances attacking the
images until you hit the right one. When you know he is close to dying, try a
spell or $TOSS to finish him off!
************************************************************************
After getting another LITHOGRAPH, feel free to head back and pick up three
more weapons from the SEALED CASTLE. Heal up your party. You'll notice that you
can now enter FORK TOWER, the place that holds your most powerful WHITE and
BLACK offensive spells (FLARE and HOLY.) It can be found west of CRESCENT TOWN,
so after you have re-stocked your group it's off to earn some Enemy thumpin'
spells.
FORK TOWER: THE ONLY BUILDING NAME AFTER AN EATING UTENSIL
Items to find: Potion, Defender, Ether, Wonder wand
Fork tower requires you to split up your groups into two groups: send your
magic users left, warriors go right. The tower itself is surprisingly easy to
work through and even though there are some battles here and there. The magic
group reaches it's destination first, followed by the fighters. I suggest using
a LANCER with !WHITE and a KNIGHT with $TOSS for your fighters, BLACK MAGE and
SUMMONER for your mages. When you reach the top with the fighters, each group
will have a boss to fight; lets examine them, shall we?
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: MINITAURUS
*Level: 37
*HP: 19,850
*Weakness: none
************************************************************************
Despite his diminutive name, MINITAURS is a pretty big guy. The first
thing you have to know is that HOLY based weapons are useless against him, so UN
EQUIP EXALIBUR, HOLY LANCE, or any other weapons imbued with HOLY POWER. Now,
you can use the good ol $TOSS ability with your KNIGHT, while sending your
LANCER high into the air to knock him silly. A NINJA with the newly found RAZOR
RING packs a pretty decent punch as well. If you went the EASTERN MARTIAL ARTS
route, use a NINJA and SAMURAI with their respective Legendary weapons (Masamune
and Sasuke). Minitaurus only hits you with physical attacks, but they can hit as
hard as 700 hp, so make sure you have some way to heal yourself ( potions, since
MAGIC is nullified in this battle.) With enough persistence, this shouldn't be a
super-difficult battle. You win the HOLY spell for WHITE MAGIC when you are
victorious.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE:OMNISCIENT
*Level: 53
*HP: 16,999
*Weakness:WIND
************************************************************************
While your fighters are off battling MINITAURUS, your magic group has to
square off against OMNISCIENT. If you have WALL Rings, use them-- if not, SUMMON
CARBUNCLE from time to time to guard against elemental magic attacks. BOLT3 and
HYDRA work well against Omniscient, just make sure you DO NOT USE THE MAGIC
LAMP!! While SUMMONS are the way to weaken him, using the lamp causes him to
cast RETURN and start the whole friggen battle all over again. So stay clean and
hit him with SUMMON SPELLS and the OCCASIONAL BOLT3. If you have AERO with a
BLUE MAGE, now is a great time to use it! If you went with a GEOMANCER's EARTH
ability, you might get lucky and get WIND SLASH. You win the FLARE magic for
finishing off this bearded behemoth.
************************************************************************
BACK TO THE AIRSHIP BASE
Remember way back when I suggested that when you are stuck, simply find
CID AND MID to further your journey? Well once again, you are in that situation!
Fly over to Crescent, which is now a bit more DONUT shaped and land on the
AIRSHIP BASE. Once there, you will encounter CID getting ground up in the gears;
while this doesn't seem to phase him, he does go on to modify your ship so it
can be a submarine, boat OR airship. How 'bout that! Krile and MID also have a
flirty little conversation and it's back under the sea for you scalawags!
GREAT SEA TRENCH: TO THE DEPTHS OF DAVY JONES LOCKER PART 2
Items to find: Water Skill, Dragon Fang, Fire Ring, Phoenix Down, Ether,
Kaiserknuckle, Lithograph # 3
To find the GREAT SEA TRENCH, go underwater and check out your map. It
will be a prominent BLIP to the east of Crescent and appears as a giant slash in
the sea floor. Descend into the hole and have your GEOMANCER ready to walk
around on LAVA FLOORS. The TRENCH is a rather non-linear place and even features
a DWARF VILLAGE deep in the Earth. The BARD's REQUIEM song will make this realm
a breeze to get through, as almost all the enemies will get severely injured by
this Torturous Tune. There are a ton of switches to flick, though a majority of
them just lead to treasures. Because of an unusually high enemy encounter rate,
you may want to just take the straight forward paths and get to DWARF VILLAGE to
regain your energy and pick up things from there!
After talking to the DWARF drilling his way under Mirage VILLAGE, you'll
come to a treasure chest that, when you open it, knocks you down the stairs. To
access this center area, run down to the bottom and flick the three lower
switches then come back and open the Chest; it will open a door and lead you to
the third LITHOGRAPH. You also have a weird BOSS BATTLE with three very large
headed fiends.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: Nergade, Triton, Phobos
*Level:Nergrade=20, Triton=37, Phobos=39
*HP: 13,333 each
*Weakness:BOLT
************************************************************************
This TRIO of bosses each has a different elemental Strength:
BLUE (Nergade)= Absorbs ICE
RED (Triton)= Absorbs FIRE
GREEN (Phobos)=POISON
Your best bet is to use BOLT3 and HYDRA SUMMON to inflict heavy group
damage on all of them. REQUIEM works decently and you always have the tried and
true method of $TOSS. By now you should have a few FIRE and ICE shields, so
equipping those will randomly heal whatever character is hit by the spell that
corresponds to the elemental attack. This is yet another battle where you have
to evenly spread the damage because the fiends will RESURRECT any fallen
comrades if you are not fast enough to finish them off. Use $TOSS when they are
all weakened to end it! As a reward to earn METEO, a TIME MAGES strongest
offensive spell; and speaking of TIME MAGES after you win, create one to TELEPO
your way out of there!
************************************************************************
SUNKEN TOWER OF WALZ: TOO BAD THE HARPY ISN'T DEAD IN THERE
Items to find: FINAL MIME CRYSTAL SHARD
Now you have your SUBMARINE CAPABILITY, fly to the upper continent on the
eastern side of your map. In a little inlet similar to HUDSON BAY, you can dive
to explore the SUNKEN WALZ TOWER. You'll know you are close when the little gray
PHOENIX TOWER appears in a mountain locked desert just to the north. Land your
ship in the water and descend into the depths. Once you exit the SUB, your
characters, showing SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING type lung capacity, have 7 minutes to
fulfill your objective.
http://www.usasynchro.org/ -- Man what an odd sport...
Anyhow, your objective is to gather that one shard you couldn't reach when
WALZ TOWER broke apart so long ago. Remember? You stood at the bottom of the
stair-thing, hitting the X button like MAD WONDERING WHY YOUR STUPID CHARACTERS
WOULDN'T JUST HOP UP THERE AND GRAB IT, THE MORONS!! Well now is your chance to
retrieve it. When you enter, go into the one room you can go through and drop
through the hole in the floor. Rip your way down the tower, running from any
battles (Including a phantom HARPY) until you reach the bottom floor. Here you
will encounter GOGO, the wacky music themed MIME, who talks some trash. To win
this battle, sit there and DO NOTHING for like 3 minutes in real life time (yes
it takes a LONG GAME TIME). After a while GOGO will speak up and to make matters
short: you'll earn the MIME ability. Just make sure to DO NOTHING during the
encounter with GOGO. TELEPO the heck out of there when you are finished and
you'll have earned your FINAL JOB (see JOB SECTION for more info on the MIME
job.)
MIRAGE VILLAGE:CLAIM A BLACK CHOCOBO!!
After your undersea adventure, head back to MIRAGE VILLAGE and buy some
cottages. Heal yourself good and plenty and sneak around to the Black Chocobo's
pen and hitch a ride. (The secret path to the left in the room with the
unopenable door). Once you get him, fly north to where you just saw the TOWER
in the DESERT. Park your CHOCOBO in the forest to the EAST and head NORTHEAST
from there. You'll recognize NORTHERN MOUNTAIN from your previous adventures
when you fought the FOXXY MAGISSA! Work your way up to the top and MAKE SURE YOU
ARE HEALED! It's time to fight an old Final Fantasy Friend...BAHAMUT!!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: BAHAMUT
*Level: 99
*HP: 40,000
*Weakness: None
************************************************************************
I'm not going to even offer any other strategies. Go in with at least
15,000 gp and FOUR SAMURAIS. $TOSS a total of eight times (two full rounds) and
you will defeat BAHAMUT. Anything else is going to be ludicrously hard at this
point because Bahamut can really hit you with some hard spells, including
MEGAFLARE which will instantly kill your party when he unleashes it--after about
4 rounds. This is the ONLY BATTLE where I would not recommend doing anything
else. When you defeat the KING OF DRAGONS, you will earn him as a super powerful
SUMMON spell.
************************************************************************
WHILE YOU'RE IN THE DESERT HIT:
THE PHOENIX TOWER: AKA FOXXY TOWER
Items to find: Magic pots, Gold!, Phoenix Summon
The foxxiest tower in FFV can be found in the same dessert where you
parked your Purple-- I mean BLACK-- Chocobo. It is down and to the far right.
Phoenix Tower is a bit of an odd adventure and a difficult one at that! Before
you go in, make sure you have about 15 Elixirs if possible. The reason being is
that there are Demons in some Magic Pots that will trade ELIXIR for 100 ABP!!
The problem is sometimes it only takes one Elixir, sometimes as many as four! In
any case, you'll need some for your characters too. Also, a hearty supply of
ETHERS and POTIONS to heal your little bodies as you march up the 30 floors of
the PHOENIX TOWER.
Now a few things to know; first of all most of your enemies are going to
be SEXXY WOMEN who utterly MESS YOU UP ( kind of like in real life, eh?)
Serpentina regularly casts ROULETTE which is going to wipe out SOMEONE randomly;
either you or an enemy. ODIN works wonders as long as he attacks with VENGEANCE
SWORD and not JAVELIN. Now, how to go about getting to the top? When you enter
you will notice there are NO DOORS to be found. The way you have to get up many
levels is by examining the wall on either the left or right side. This is on the
bottom part of the square, where you might see a switch or something like that.
Each time you are confronted with the blank wall, you have to choose left or
right. Choose correctly and you will have safe passage to the next level; choose
wrong and you will have to fight an old boss like SOUL CANNON or LIQUIDFLAME.
Below I have given a summary of what sides to pick to avoid those battles all
the way up. Before that, there is also the issue of the magic pots. As
mentioned, if you give the demons an ELIXIR, you can get 100 ABP when they
escape. It's pricey, but it sure saves a lot of time. Other non-possessed pots
will yield unto you greater amounts of gold. starting at 5000 gp and increasing
by 5000 for each pot you find, up until 25,000. Got it? Great! Now the summary:
FLOOR:
1=check left
2=staircase
3=Left indent in the M shaped block
4=Right
5=Magic pots on this floor; use the staircase
6=Stairs
7=Left
8=left
9=right
10=Magic pots on this floor, use the staircase
11=Stairs
12=Left
13=Left
14=Right
15=Magic Pots, take the stairs
16=Stairs
17=Left
18=Left
19=Right
20=Magic Pots, take the stairs
21=Stairs
22=Right
23=Left
24=Right
25=Last two magic pots; use the stairs
26=Left
27=Left
28=Right
29=CENTER (I think this fight is unavoidable)
30=Hurrah!
When you reach the top, you will find Reina's Dragon waiting for you.
There will be a little scene where the dragon turns red and flies towards the
ground; then you will see a cut scene involving Reina's father and sick mother.
You will be asked if you want to CUT OUT THE DRAGON'S tongue to save your
Mother; say NO to receive the PHOENIX SUMMON. If you say YES, you will not get
the magic, so leave the damn tongue in his fool mouth. I wonder what Dragon
Tongues are made out of? Probably Fire-Proof asbestos and Teflon (tm).
Of course this is much easier said than done; fly back to MIRAGE on your
Chocobo when you are done-- Don't forget to save!!
A SIDE TRACK: THE OCEAN AREA BENEATH PHOENIX TOWER
You have but one goal here: to fight a hard to find STINGRAY. Use your
TRAINER to cast CONTROL on it, then have it case GUARDIAN on your BLUE MAGE to
learn it as a BLUE MAGIC SPELL. It is a very helpful spell in the final areas
and worth learning if you have the patience to do so. So do it! As a note, the
STING RAY can appear anywhere in the sea below PHOENIX TOWER, which is self
contained like a small lake. YOU SHOULD TAKE THE TIME TO DO THIS!!!
A DEEP BREATH: ONE LITHOGRAPH TO GO
You've been through a LOT by now and the end is near; you are one
lithograph away from opening the gate to the N-ZONE. To reach the final
lithograph, head towards EASTERLY VILLAGE or at least where it USED to be. If
you splash down in the water south of the waterfalls and use your sub, you will
see a bright circle on the ocean floor. This will lead to an open field just
east of EASTERLY FALLS. Use a tent or cottage, heal up and get ready.
EASTERLY FALLS:TO THE FINAL LITHOGRAPH
A few notes before heading into Easterly Falls; it may not be a bad idea
to invest in a Coral Ring or two from Mirage before heading into the falls. If
you were lucky, you may have gotten one from a Yellow Dragon somewhere earlier
in the game. You can make it through the area fairly quickly, depending on your
thirst to collect treasure. The whole fiasco starts off with another battle with
the ol' Gargoyles. By now, you should have these guys down. Despite the complex
looking series of waterfalls, this area is surprisingly straight forward. On the
first floor, work your way to the left which should not be too hard if you
follow the paths of the stairs ahead of time. There is an AIR LANCET, ETHER, and
TURTLE SHELL to be found on this floor if you feel like searching them out.
On the next floor, there is a hidden passage in the lower right that leads
to the RUNE EDGE, a decent sword but one you probably won't need at this stage
in the game. There is also a GIANT DRINK near where you enter. After working
your way to the left, you'll see the way out to the south. Before exiting, head
to the north to a switch on the wall. Make sure one of your characters is
equipped with the DASH skill; hit the button and DASH to the right. If you don't
you will not be able to gather the valuable PROTECT RING inside! The next area
is easy to navigate through; a PHOENIX DOWN, ENCHANTER, and WALL RING are the
prizes to be gathered on this floor. The exit can be found by going left, down,
down right for those in a hurry. Down left leads to the WALL RING while going up
leads to the aforementioned PHOENIX DOWN. Go down to the next floor. If you wish
to pick up the ENCHANTER, use the door to the far upper right. Having a
GEOMANCER equipped for this section will help you avoid the pit fall (which is
two steps south of where the corridor heading up gets wide):
| |
| |
| |
/ |
/ P |
You can avoid it by sticking to the wall on the right before entering the
corridor. The middle door offers passage to the Artemis Bow while the lower path
leads to a 12,000 gp treasure chest. The secret to getting to the next level is
to purposely fall into the Pitfall. This will drop you into a rather open area
with a few treasure chests. With the ones to the upper left and upper right,
make sure you hit the switches on the nearby walls to reveal where SPIKES will
jolt up through the EARTH and injure you. An AEGIS SHIELD and MAGICSHURIKEN
await your treasure hunting prowess. In the small anti-chamber to the south, hit
the switch on the left of the wall to reveal a few pitfalls. Grab the DOUBLE AXE
and fall into one of the holes. This leads right to the final Lithograph!! Haha
what luck, eh? And when you grab it, no boss challenges you! Whee, time to go to
TGIF's and get that big fried Onion thing they have!!! Awesome Blossom!! Well,
not quite. After snagging the lithograph head up towards the base of EASTERLY
falls. A voice says:
"Drop...That... Lithograph!" It is one of X-Death's goons! Looks like you are in
for another battle. As he talks his trash, he doesn't notice the HUGE SEA DRAGON
emerging from the water behind him. Leviathan kindly disposes of this foe and
challenges you to a battle, saying he will follow anyone who can defeat him--
well, you better defeat him then, eh?
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: FINAL BOSS BEFORE THE N-ZONE!! LEVIATHAN
*Level: 37
*HP: 40,000
*Weakness: BOLT
************************************************************************
Leviathan is all that stands between you and the N-Zone, but be warned
this sea beast is no pushover. Before you can make him an appetizer for LONG
JOHN SILVER's, you need to take a few precautions. Equipping CORAL RINGS will
prevent his strongest attack, Tidal Wave, from hurting you. In fact it will heal
you quite a bit with the CORAL RING equipped. GUARDIAN and GOLEM will help boost
your defense. If you have a character with !TIME and !BLACK mastered (or at
least level 5), a good strategy is to cast QUICK then BOLT 3 Twice on him, then
use a MIME to mimic the BOLT 3 attack. I made my BLACK MASTER MAGE into a TIME
MAGE for the battle just for that purpose. Two MIMES will help support the
attack, while a NINJA throwing Shuriken or MAGIC SHURIKEN or using the good ol'
!TOSS ability helps beat this guy up. If he's weak enough, bring ODIN in to
finish off this SEA BISCUIT. Woo hoo-- on to X Death!! *Note: you should be
around level 37-38 by now.
************************************************************************
PREPARATIONS BEFORE ENTERING THE X-ZONE
If you haven't already, make sure you have the GUARDIAN SPELL learned with
your BLUE MAGE. This is a very important spell to learn and a must for the meaty
foes you'll encounter in the X-Zone. Remember it is found in the small sea
beneath the PHOENIX tower on the right-upper continent. It takes a while, but
when you encounter the STINGRAY, Control him with a trainer and have him cast
GUARDIAN on your blue mage. Stock up on about 50 cottages and a lot of PHOENIX
DOWN and ETHERS. If you can afford them, ELIXIRS are nice but at 50,000 a pop
there are better ways to regain your MP and HP. About 40 potions should do the
trick in that regards and make sure you have a healthy stock of SOFTS and HOLY
WATER ready to go, as many enemies can change your status with a single hit. If
you took the time to earn EQ RIBBON with your Dancer, you can use that ability
to avoid most ailments, or you can have a BARE character equip the RIBBON. Max
out your weapons, spells, and all that. This is the FINAL BATTLE so head in
prepared!
Before entering the X-Zone, here are a few other tips you should know:
*There is only one given SAVE POINT in the X-ZONE and two more save points you
can open up by defeating bosses. All three are crucial. Brings lots of cottages
so you can fight the enemies and raise your levels.
*Once you are in the N-Zone, it is always possible to come back out if you need
to power up or want to explore more of the world. You can not TELEPO out, but
backtracking through the N-Zone doesn't take that much time. If you want to come
back out to get supplies or whatever, have a thief with the FLEE ability to save
yourself the trouble of escaping from fights. You can return to the normal world
even from the farthest area so there is no "point of no return."
*There are a bunch of optional BOSSES in the N-ZONE; they will be described in
the OPTIONAL BOSS section after the N-ZONE section; these include Alta Roit,
Shinryu, and Omega. Be careful not to engage these foes before their time, it
could mean the loss of a great deal of progress into the N-Zone.
*Curious how many battles you have fought? Check out the OLD MAN in the cave
just below KARNAK when in your SUBMARINE (Karnak is to the upper right of the
PYRAMID if you forgot). This "Psychic Friend" will report some interesting stats
if you ask him.
*Reasonable levels to defeat the final bad guy: 39-40. Having CRYSTAL ARMOR,
strong relics, and balanced jobs mastered is a plus. Mimes are essential, so if
you passed up GOGO in the SUNKEN TOWER of WALZ go back and get him!
************************************************************************
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!TO THE N-ZONE TO THRASH THE BAD GUYS!!
Remember where Tycoon used to be? Flying over the black hole there will
most likely scare the crap out of you if you don't expect it because this will
suck you into the N-Zone! After some dramatic shaking, you'll find your ship
sitting peacefully in the N-Zone; exit to the left.
N-ZONE SECTION 1: THE DESERT
Items to Find: None
This short introduction to the N-Zone is easy to get through, simply ride
the sand-conveyor belts towards the right. There are a few tough enemies here
including QUADRAHARPY, but you should sail through this area with ease. Before
going through the door to the next area, some of X-Death's goons talk trash to
you, but you won't have a boss battle just yet.
N-ZONE SECTION 2: THE CHAIN TOWER
Items to find: Ether, Dark Matter, Elixir x 2, Blood Sword
This section is also easy to navigate through. Four of the five treasures
are found in the second room and are very easy to reach. The only mildly tricky
part is where you have to choose between three chains to ride up: the right
leads to the blood sword, the middle is a dead end and the left brings you to
the next section. Still no bosses yet! The enemies here are somewhat tough and
the LEVEL CHECKERS can cast Lv. 5 Doom on any character of a multiple of five
level, so give anyone level 35 or 40 a wall ring through this area.
N-ZONE SECTION 3: THE FROZEN MIRAGE VILLAGE: IT'S WORSE THAN THAT, THEY'RE DEAD
JIM!
Items to find: Healing Pot
Remember that door in Mirage that flashed blue when you tried to open it?
Well lookie here, because that's where you pop out! Unfortunately, everyone here
is frozen, even the pur--I mean BLACK-chocobo, the piano, and all the people.
Luckily the Hp/MP regain pot still works, so use that to max out your power and
exit the village after teasing the frozen people as if they were those British
beefeater guards.
N-ZONE SECTION 4: THE FOREST
Items to find: Dragon Fang, Power Rod, Enchanter, Ribbon
This is only area that is a pain to get through, thanks to the limited
circle view you have. Your goal is to work towards the bottom right hand part of
the screen, which isn't too bad because there aren't many other paths to lead
you astray and those that do are short and lead to treasures. The annoying thing
here is the high encounter rate. When you get to the bottom right, you will see
a tree with a hole in it similar to the trees in MOORE FOREST. Examine it and a
tunnel will open up at the foot of the tree. Time for your first N-Zone boss
battle!!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: WOODSPRITE
*Level: ??
*HP: Around 25,000
************************************************************************
Woodsprite comes equipped with REFLECT so don't bother using elemental
magic on it. Instead, stick to physical attacks, SUMMONS, and $TOSS to knock out
WOODSPRITE. While she is not very aggressive, you'll want to heal with your
!WHITE ability if you get hit hard. As far as N-ZONE bosses go, she is a push
over. FLARE is also effective against her. Defeat her to gain access to the next
area.
************************************************************************
N-ZONE SECTION 5: THE WATER FALL
Items to find: Coral Ring, Angel Robe
The waterfalls are another easy to get through area. In your first trip,
hit the cave to the north and grab the Coral Ring and the ANGEL ring in the far
right waterfall. When you head into the next section you'll find the only free
SAVE POINT in the N-Zone; pitch a cottage and save your progress. On your way
out you will see a goofy looking ant-like robot. This is OMEGA and you will want
to avoid him at all costs!! He is extremely powerful and you do not have to deal
with him now as he doesn't give you any useful items. Read the OPTIONAL BOSS
SECTION if you want to challenge him, but believe me you are better off leaving
him for later. He walks back and forth in the same pattern, so sneak to the
bottom of the screen and run by when he is walking up. Go through the door and
you'll find yourself in a study room. Read the two books on the shelf for some
interesting information, then open the book on the desk for your next boss
battle.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: APPREHENDER
*Level: ??
*HP: About 35,000
************************************************************************
Apprehender is another enemy that comes from a book, so that should be
your clue that he is weak to FIRE. Be careful though, because summoning IFRIT
will HEAL him, so stick to hitting him with FIR3 and Miming it with your other
characters. Its not a bad idea to cast GUARDIAN to help decrease the damage you
will take from Apprehender's attacks. The ol' no brainer: Use CURE 3 if you are
getting badly injured. You should take down APPREHENDER pretty easily if you are
level 38 or higher.
************************************************************************
When you go through the door you entered and the book is OPEN, it will
lead you to the next area, the N-ZONE CASTLE. If it is CLOSED it will lead you
back to the waterfalls. If you are nervous about making it further without
dying, close the book and return to the nearby save point, avoiding OMEGA on
your way over there. Otherwise open the book and head to the next area.
N-ZONE SECTION 6: THE CASTLE
Items to find: Winged Shoes, Red Shoes, Thor's Hammer, Prism Dress, Man-Eater
You'll find yourself in a series of platforms with invisible bridges in
between them ala Indiana Jones after going through the door with the book open.
You can use a Thief's secret ability if you don't feel like dealing with
guessing, which will lead to a lot of annoying battle thanks to the high
encounter rate here. After a few sky high battles, you will come to the gates of
the N-ZONE castle. When you reach the atrium of the castle, head to the LEFT AND
RIGHT towers to gather the WINGED SHOES and THOR'S HAMMER. The Block in the
middle has stairways on the bottom and the top; since the bottom one is a dead
end go into the top door which will lead to the basement. Be careful not to rush
into anything here!! READ THIS!!! There are a flurry of green wizards seemingly
imprisoned in cells to the upper middle and lower right; avoid them for now.
Instead focus your energies on a battle to the lower left. Heal your party, make
one character a SORCERER, and get ready for another tough fight.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: AZULMAGIA
*Level: ??
*HP: Around 27,000
*Weakness: BIO
************************************************************************
When Azulmagia asks if you are the ones with the Crystal Shards, say YES!
No need to lie! AZULMAGIA has the somewhat rare weakness of BIO, so casting BIO
SWORD with your Sorcerer, BIO with your black mage, and strong physical attacks
are effective strategies. You can MIME the BIO attacks if you need to, but your
HOLY weapons are actually pretty strong against her. She has a little over
25,000 HP so you can always resort to $TOSS or THROWING MAGICSHURIKENS if need
be, this is a pretty important battle to win.
************************************************************************
After defeating AZULMAGIA, not only will you get a sense of pride and
accomplishment but another SAVE POINT! YES! Use a cottage and save immediately!
Now about those bouncy little wizards: they are an enemy called ALTE ROIT, a
tricky wizard who transforms into JURA AVIS after you've inflicted enough
damage. Check out the OPTIONAL BOSS section for more on this chump; each trio of
Wizards guards a treasure chest; the top one contains a pair of RED SHOES while
the lower chest has the PRISM DRESS. Neither of these are necessary items so you
can bypass them altogether if you want. For every chest, you will most likely
have to fight all three of the guys individually.
You will, however, have to fight a giant eyeball if you want to get
further in the castle. In the upper right you will see a woman in prison; what
you may not see is the gray eyeball to the left of the door waiting for you.
When you see him, he will open the door and bully you to the end of the hallway.
BEFORE FIGHTING HIM READ THE BOSS STRATEGY TO SAVE YOURSELF A WORLD OF TROUBLE!!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: CATASTROPH
*Level: ??
*HP: Around 32,000
Weakness: none
************************************************************************
This guy can be your easiest N-ZONE boss if you go into the battle
prepared. For the easy win, use the following well known strategy. Cast FLOAT on
all your characters and equip ONLY one of them with a WALL RING before the
battle. When you get into the fight, Catastroph will try to ground your guys by
casting GRAVITY100. While this WILL ground three of your characters (and make a
cool sound!), it will reflect off the WALL RING. Catastoph will continue to cast
GRAVITY100 like a madman, so just pound on him with your weapons for an easy
win! Equip really weak ones if you want to insult him, it doesn't matter. He'll
just keep casting GRAVITY100 until you kill him! Such hangups can be fatal, eh?
************************************************************************
Save your game after the CATASTROPH battle, and head towards the stairs to
the upper right. A rather flirty woman will come over to you with the thoughts
of HEARTS IN HER HEAD. After a little SWEET TALK, she dashes upstairs. You look
like a pretty big sucker, so you might as well follow her. You come to a throne
room. There is a door to the left that seems like a logical choice, as the other
exit is a shortcut to the door you couldn't open in the atrium. *NOTE: If you go
through the door from the throne room, it will lock behind you and you'll have
to go back through the basement to get back to where you once belonged (JOJO WAS
A MAN WHO THOUGHT HE WAS A WOMAN? WHAT?!)
http://www.geocities.com/Augusta/8493/
Now, if you try to get through the upper left door it will just bounce you away.
After a few attempts, the lady in the prison comes back and decides to reveal
her true colors. Time for another fight!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: HALYCANOS
*Level: ??
*HP: Around 36,000
*Weakness: none
************************************************************************
Halycanos has the reverse power of your normal princess: her kiss turns
your party into a bunch of slimy frogs! Doh! Break out the MAIDEN'S KISS or ESNA
with your White Mage to get back in fighting shape. Cast GUARDIAN as soon as you
are back on you feet. Since HALYCANOS is a straight up powerful boss, FLARE,
HOLY, and BAHAMUT all do wonders against her. Haste isn't a bad idea for your
characters in this bout. You can try to cast MUTE, but since it will usually
fail you are better off concentrating your powers to offensive magic. A mime
here or there to mimic FLARE or BAHAMUT and a LANCER TO LEAP THROUGH THE AIR are
both good ideas. Good old GOLEM provides another barrier of protection against
her (him?). When you defeat this harlequin, return to your save point, use a
cottage and save!
************************************************************************
There are a few things to consider before going on to your next boss.
There is an enemy called YOJIMBO that you will encounter on your way up; though
it is an extremely rare occurrence, there is a chance you can steal a STRATOS
katana from him, which is the strongest weapon in the game (Provided you haven't
boosted the power of your chicken or brave blade). This takes FOREVER though, as
you first have to go through the trouble of encountering him, enduring his
attack, and normally all you get from him is a stinking cottage! But if you
really want the strongest blade in FFV, this is the place to do it (in the
courtyard.) Also you can scoot downstairs and snag the MAN EATER sword if you
want. Save after all these events. Hopefully, you will be about level 40 at this
point because you have your hardest battle so far ahead of you.
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: TWIN TANIA
*Level: high!
*HP: over 50,000
*Weakness: HOLY, WATER
************************************************************************
Make sure you go into this battle prepared for an epic battle! This guy is
both fast and versatile, so prepare accordingly. If you have CORAL RINGS, equip
them: TWIN TANIA knows Tidal Wave and isn't afraid to use it! Cast GUARDIAN as
soon as possible and the strongest level HASTE on your guys. Two MIMES, !BLUE,
!TIME, !WHITE, !SUMMON and Holy Lance and Excalibur will all help big time. If
you choose to summon, send LEVIATHAN after him and MIMIC it twice if possible.
EXCALIBUR and the HOLY LANCE hit hard, but TWIN TANIA has a lot of hit points.
If you have the !DRINK ability, it might not be a bad idea to have a GIANT DRINK
to double your HP for this battle because TWIN TANIA knows GIGAFLARE, a
devastating attack if you are not at MAX HP with GUARDIAN cast. Stay at him with
your HOLY and WATER attacks (but forget about AQUARAKE as it hardly hurts him).
Of course, the spell HOLY works well too! Keep you HP high and fight hard!
There is also a minuscule chance you can summon ODIN and kill TWIN TANIA
in one shot! This occurs only if you call ODIN while TWIN TANIA is gather power
to unleash GIGAFLARE on your party. If you want to try this tactic, make sure
you've cast SLOW2 on him first, otherwise your window of opportunity will be
almost impossible to time. And yes, its a little bit of a walk, but save your
game in the basement when you defeated this guy!
************************************************************************
N-ZONE LEVEL 7: THE FINAL MAZE!! ARE YOU FEELIN' IT EVIL?!!
Items to find: Magicshuriken x 3, Elixir, DRAGON SEAL AND RAGNAROK*
*OPTIONAL BOSS ITEMS
Oh man, you are so close you can smell X-Death's socks! The final dungeon
features the following:
*Really hard enemies
*One save point
*The ASS-WHOOPIN' BOSS Shinryu
*The Rare MOVER enemies, the METAL SLIMES of FFV-- Defeat them for 100,000 gp
and 199 ABP!!
*and much much more! Order now and we'll throw in some cool music!
When you start off, you will see chest with an easy to get MAGICSHURIKEN
down and to the right a little. Snag it and continue downwards. Luckily the
encounter rate isn't too high here, so you can cover big chunks of land without
interference. If you want to avoid conflict (like the DINOSAUR in TOY STORY),
have the FLEE ability in one of your slots. Go down the stairs to the left, hook
up and around to the warp point. Standing there, waiting like an old friend
is....
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: GILGAMESH
*Level: ??
*HP: Of course he runs away!
************************************************************************
You encounter GILGAMESH as he is in the middle of a SPAZZ ATTACK.
Apparently, he is trying to find a way out of the N-ZONE and has hit the
proverbial PANIC BUTTON. It's still a good idea to cast GUARDIAN because
GILGAMESH will get in a few hits before recognizing you. Hit him hard before he
starts his "It's you..." speech. Once he recognizes you, he'll babble some
random stuff about getting out and disappear. This shouldn't stop you from
stealing a GENJI SHIELD from him if you have a thief. So he runs away
again....sigh....
************************************************************************
After GILGAMESH clears out, use the warp zone to zap to the next section.
Go up and to the right, then down the stairs. There will be a chest with a
MAGISHURIKEN on this level, so snag it and continue down and to the left. For
those of you who have read the OPTIONAL BOSS section, this is good place to
encounter the CRYSTAL DRAGON. Go under the bridge and work your way to the
right. There is a chest down the stairs to the far right with an ELIXIR in it.
It's a great idea to get it! Hit the Warp zone. When you come out, go to the
left and up. After going up the stairs you will see a staircase and a gray
treasure chest at the bottom. DO NOT GET THIS CHEST NOW!!! This is where Shinryu
waits *SEE OPTIONAL BOSS SECTION** and the Ragnarok Sword resides. While it is
very powerful, you are better off leaving it for now. Continue upwards; hook
left if you want to get another MagicShuriken. Go right to the Warp to the next-
to-last area.
Now that you are in this area, hook up and around until you see a
glimmering Green Glob. This is going to be your ticket to an awesome save point
and your last boss battle before X-Death!!
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: NECROPHOBE
*Level: ??
*HP: 50,000
*Weakness: HOLY
************************************************************************
NECROPHOBE comes from the latin, FEAR OF THE DEAD. Apparently this guy
wants to live forever and thinks his body is immortal enough to do just that. He
is protected by four small but powerful barriers that all come equipped with
WALL RINGS or something like that because they all have REFLECT cast on them.
When the fight starts, each of these little barriers will cast FLARE on your
party, which can really put a big hurt on you. Your first priority is to heal
the wounded and cast GUARDIAN. Now you can use the venerable $TOSS and BAHAMUT
summon to hurt the barriers, as casting elemental magic will simply reflect off
them. Miming BAHAMUT is a great way to knock the barriers out. If you want some
added protection, call upon GOLEM. After you defeat the barriers and beat up
NECROPHOBE for a while, GILGAMESH returns! From this point on you don't have to
fight, but you CAN try to steal from both enemies. GILGAMESH gives a GIL-GA-
MUSHY speech to each of your characters, then redeems himself for casting the
world into evil by finishing off NECROPHOBE with the suicidal EXPLODER attack.
This will kill both of them; guess GILGAMESH was kind of a good guy after all.
************************************************************************
The most important aspect of this battle is it opens a VITAL SAVE POINT
that not only heals your party but serves as a safe haven while increasing your
levels if needed. Ok, are you ready? You are a staircase and a warp zone away
from the big guy himself! It goes without saying you should save and heal here.
It is suggested that you have some high levels here, so if you get beat up by X-
Death feel free to get stronger...
************************************************************************
*BOSS BATTLE: X-DEATH FORM 1; AN EARTH FIRST FANTASY COME TRUE!
or THE ONLY PART OF THIS GUIDE MOST PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ, DESPITE ALL THE COOL
JOKES AND REFERENCES IN THE PREVIOUS 47 PAGES!
*Level: HIGH
*HP: A whole lot
************************************************************************
X-DEATH is an ass kickin' tree. Of course, before the battle starts he
gives a speech on how much you suck. While this isn't too big of a deal, he then
starts to suck your friends into the N-ZONE. Cid and Mid; no big deal. Val
Castle, who cares...but then that SON OF A SCREWBALL sucks your BELOVED BOKO
INTO THE N-ZONE, THE CREEP! NOW IT'S PERSONAL!! He also sucks Faris's pirate
crew into the N-ZONE for those who care. Then he sucks YOU into the N-ZONE, and
it takes the power of the DAWN WARRIORS and THE KING OF TYCOON to get you out.
Although it ruins some of the DRAMA, you have a chance to go back and save
your game after the whole X-DEATH speech. This will save you about 5 minutes of
cinema scenes if you lose to X-DEATH, which is very possible. So you might want
to run back and save, then face the meanest tree to ever grow a face!
5 THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK AGAINST X-DEATH:
*Taunting him with yo' Mamma jokes.
*Using ORTHO BRAND weed killer.
*Subjecting him to listen to N'SYNC, NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK, and BACKSTREET BOYS
(man he's tough).
*Making him eat ARMOR POTTED PORK PRODUCT.
*Tying his shoelaces together.
WHAT DOES WORK!
Having the right combination of warriors is vital to defeating this ugly log! My
suggested party is as follows:
JAYMZ...err I mean BARTZ: (I refuse to call him BUTZ)-
JOB: MIME
ABILITIES: !DRINK, !MIX, $TOSS
This allows Bartz to drink the GIANT DRINK and double his HP, MIX ether and
Phoenix Down together to cast the equivalent of ARISE (full mp/hp), Mimic the
strong attack spells, and $TOSS if the person before him cast a healing spell or
use an item.
REINA
JOB:MIME
ABILITIES: !WHITE, !SUMMON, !ITEM
Reina's main purpose is her WHITE magic, which will be needed badly. Expect to
use ARISE often, as well as ESNA to cure MINI, POSION, and other such ailements.
The ITEM slot will save MP if you need to use SOFT to cure a stoned character
(stop that giggling!) If you get a chance to go on the offense, a strong SUMMON
such as BAHAMUT will be most useful, though hopefully you can MIMIC another's
attack if possible. The ITEM slot also lets you use an ELIXIR when you're MP is
low.
KRILE
JOB:MIME
ABILITIES: !SUMMON, !BLACK, !ITEM
Krile is your main offensive weapon, firing off BAHAMUT, FLARE and GOLEM if
needed. A HAIR ORNAMENT will 1/2 the amount of magic she'll use; either KRILE or
FARIS should get this worthy prize. She can MIMIC METEO from FARIS with the MIME
command, and ITEM will allow her to use a SOFT or PHOENIX DOWN if needed.
FARIS
JOB:TIME MAGE (or if time is mastered, MIME)
ABILITY: !BLUE (or !BLUE, !TIME, !ITEM)
I used the HAIR ORNAMENT on FARIS. Cast QUICK then GUARDIAN and METEO on X-
DEATH. METEO is going to be your strongest attack against this form of X-DEATH
and its a good idea to MIMIC it to save MP. Cast GUARDIAN when revived
characters need to be brought back to life or is your protection is DISPELLED.
ITEM serves the same purpose as it does with Reina, with the ability to use SOFT
and PHOENIX DOWN.
With this party, you should be able to knock out the first form of X-Death
somewhat easily. X-DEATH's twisted face resembles my HIGH SCHOOL ALGEBRA
TEACHER. The worst attack this form has is WHITE BALL, which will kill your
character and turn him to stone. He also knows METEO and FLARE, which can be a
pain. Your first turn should consist of attacking X-DEATH with FLARE with Krile
(she usually is fastest), then casting QUICK with FARIS; then using your two
spell option to cast GUARDIAN and METEO. If X-DEATH hasn't WHITE BALLED anyone,
MIMIC METEO with REINA. FLARE and METEO are your strongest attacks against this
form of X-DEATH. Have BARTZ DRINK the GIANT DRINK to double his HP to up around
4000 HP or so. It is important to keep an eye on FARIS'S MP, even with a HAIR
ORNAMENT equipped. If you can, cast HASTE2 or HASTE on your characters at this
point. Depending on what attacks X-DEATH unleashes on you, you'll want to keep
everyone alive and max healed with CUR3. Then on offense, hit him with METEO and
MIMIC it as many times as possible. If FARIS is a MIME, you can save a ton of MP
by doing this. FLARE also works if the chain gets broken. BAHAMUT is strong, but
you don't need to call him out yet as you are only attacking one target. If your
character dies, try having REINA cast ARISE or have BARTZ MIX and ETHER AND
PHOENIX DOWN to bring them back to 100% HP/MP. Hopefully you have about 6 or
more ELIXIRS for this battle; if not it can actually be a blessing when a
character dies and you are out of ELIXIR because the MIX TRICK and ARISE will
restore full MP and HP! Remember to re-cast GUARDIAN if needed, with a
HAIRORNAMENT it should only cost about 36 MP. When you Crush the ugly tree, get
ready for the final form of X-DEATH!!!
************************************************************************
*FINAL BOSS BATTLE: NEO-X-DEATH: HOW TO KILL HIM AND ALL HIS 2000 PARTS!
*LEVEL: 99
*HP: 50,000 x 5 body parts=250,000
*Weakness: Double Chocolate Fudge Cake with Chocolate Frosting (even though it
goes right to his thighs where-ever those may be!)
************************************************************************
HAHA--just a little humor to help you relax against this mess of Organic
Leftover parts. NEO-X-DEATH looks like an enemy from GRADIUS, so too bad you
can't get the spell SUMMON LITTLE SHIP WITH TWO FULL POWER OPTIONS! Besides
REALLY getting into your personal space, NEO-X-DEATH shakes like a YUGO going 80
MPH (or a 8 year old after eating 10 packages of FUN-DIP!) First of all, let's
look at NEO-X-DEATH's nasty attacks. His worst spell is probably, GRAND CROSS,
which looks really pretty, like a bunch of colorful pinwheels spinning through
the air! Unfortunately, it causes a catastrophy of ailments on your party,
including MINI, TOAD, STONE, POSION, DEATH, and any other bad things you can
think of! ULTRA GUST can hit you for up to 2500 Hp PER PERSON, so MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE GUARDIAN and GOLEM cast for protection. METEO and MEGAFLARE will also put
the hurt on you and his normal attack can drain up to 2000 hp!! Ouch! Keep in
mind, he still has some of X-DEATH's nasty attacks including DELTA ATTACK and
WHITE BALL.
Your Priorities are as follows:
*Keep your HP high and keep BARTZ and REINA alive, as they are your healers.
*Bring the dead back to life.
*Keep your MP high to stay on the offensive.
*Keep GUARDIAN on all your characters.
*Attack NEO-X-DEATH with either BAHAMUT or $TOSS (METEO is STRONG but can hit
weakly or target already defeated body parts.)
*Mimic BAHAMUT or $TOSS.
Since you drank the GIANT DRINK with BARTZ, he stand the best chance of
staying alive the longest, which is great because his MIX of ETHER and PHOENIX
DOWN is vital to winning. Keeping GUARDIAN up is vital to survive METEO and
other strong attacks, including the rare ICE3 and FIRE3 that NEO-X-DEATH will
cast at will. MIMIC BAHAMUT as much as possible but only if everyone's HP is
high and no one is STONE. Chances are GRAND CROSS will really mess your guys up,
turning some to STONE and shrinking others. If you do get SHRUNK, don't worry
about it because you can still use your magic and MIMIC and chances are you
won't throw a single physical attack at NEO-X-DEATH anyway. In a pinch , you can
have Bartz $THROW and then MIMIC that if the other characters have had to heal
during their turns.
NEO-X-DEATH has five main body parts, each of which has a whopping 50000
HP! For this reason, you need to stick with BAHAMUT as much as possible. $TOSS
is the next best thing. There will be many times when you have only one
functioning character, but NEVER give up! I had REINA ONLY alive with 39 HP and
came back to defeat NEO-X-DEATH with all 4 characters alive!! You'll know you
are getting close to killing him because some body parts will take 0 damage when
you cast spells or $TOSS. Make sure you have GUARDIAN up and use the following
strategy for victory!!! As a note, for every living character you have at the
end, you will see a little bonus scene for them-- not a huge deal, but a nice
incentive to keep everyone breathing!! If you start to feel weak, just tap into
the anger within your soul for being named BUTZ and you'll be sure to win!
************************************************************************
THIS IS THE END, BEAUTIFUL FRIEND
When you finally get that last crucial hit, you'll hear the famous I JUST
BEAT HIM PAUSE and NEO-X-DEATH will fade into nothingness!! YEAHH!!! As usual,
you save the world, talk to the dead, and end the game riding majestic....wait,
you have to get the ending yourself, you lazy bum!! I will say BOKO certainly
proves his STUDLINESS, all the towns return from the N-ZONE. Along with the
standard ending credits, you get a cool new FMV with great graphics depicting
certain parts of the game, though I'm not sure why BARTZ is dead-body gray with
white hair. You'll also get to see each of your characters stats along with
their skills they learned and whatever job they had in the final battle. If you
wait while the THE END screen is up, you can see the FMV movie again, which is
worth watching twice (if only for the MOOGLES!)
************************************************************************
CONCLUSION:
WHEW! I finished this walkthrough on JULY 4th, 2000 time to CELEBRATE!!
I'll pretend the fireworks are in celebration of my accomplishment!!
Why this FAQ is a major accomplishment:
*Started March 20, 2000 then got erased completely on MAY 15 when my company
went out of business!! Luckily I still had a 28 page print out to re type from
which took many hours since it was 10 pt no spacing!
*I put a lot of time and heart into it and tried to stay funny even when bad
things happened in my life!
*It is twice as long as my college thesis paper!
Anyway, now is a good time to get those OPTIONAL BOSSES and unlock any
secrets you may have left behind. Final Fantasy 5 is a great game and FF
ANTHOLOGY is just about the best deal you can get in gaming history! Again
special thanks to DINGOJELLYBEAN, GOD OF FAQS, JODY PRATT, and MARC DZIEZYNSKI

V-ANSWERS TO QUIZ QUESTIONS!
1-Helena is the capital of MONTANA.
2-Polar Bear Fur is actually CLEAR!! Sun light reflecting off the fur causes
it's yellowish or white appearance. Also, Polar Bear feet have little suckers on
the bottom. Neat, huh?
3-The Great Final Fantasy Music is composed by Nobuo Uematsu.
4-They weigh the same, sucker! hehe
5-The TITANIC hit the ICEBERG on April 14, 1912. April 14th was also the start
of the CIVIL WAR as ABRAHAM LINCOLN was assassinated on that same day; US also
bombed LIBYA in 1986-- but MOST IMPORTANTLY APRIL 14, 1976 is MY BIRTHDAY! So
now you have no excuse to forget! ^_^

VI-WHERE DO THE SUMMONS COME FROM?!
Here's a brief synapsis of the real life legends that spawned the SUMMON
creatures in FFV-I will update this more when I get time to conduct a little
more research: Version 1.1 will have the complete work I have done:
CHOCOBO- Made up by Square, obviously a CHICKEN in disguise!
SLYPHS: Irish myths have SYLPHS as a type of playful and provacative fairy.
REMORA: Simply a fish that has a sucker that clings to a sharks side, like a
parasite.
SHIVA: Hinduism; She will dance her divine dance at the end of time. A goddess
in HINDU mythology.
RAMUH- HINDU, but I need to look into it a little more.
TITAN-Greek mythology. The name of a race of giants born from the mating of Gaia
and URANUS. 12 were born at first, then they mated to make over a million.
GOLEM: Jewish; Giant old testament protectors made of mud or stone. Has "truth"
in Jewish inscribed on its hand. In order to kill one, you have to get it's
creator to take off the last two letters on its hand so it spells DEATH instead
of TRUTH.
SHOAT: Greek in origin, need more info.
CARBUNCLE: Something to do with the jewel in it's head...more research...
HYDRA: Greek mythology; Monster with huge dog like body and may serpentine
heads. The offspring of Echidna and Typhon. Killed bt Hercules as his second
labor.
ODIN: Norse GOD, son of BOR and BESLA; breathed life into man.
PHOENIX: Egyptian; It lives for 500 years then consumes itself in flames, only
to rise fom the ashes and live again.
BAHAMUT: Hindu. Need more research...
LEVIATHAN: Biblical; was the embodiment of chaos and a beast symbolizing the end
time.
FUTURE PARTS AND LISTS WILL BE UP IN VERSION 1.1; I WANTED TO GET THE ACTUAL
WALKTHROUGH UP FIRST -- SHOULD BE UP BY 7-10-00 thanks!
