Final Fantasy VI Advance FAQ Version 0.20 By: Steven Patton E-mail: [email protected] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is this? If you read my FFV Advance FAQ, then you know what it is. For those who didn't, read on! In my FAQ, I try not to use Spoilers. I tried my best at this, as this is pretty much my second time playing this game again. Since I know where to go and stuff, I am aiming for a low-level playthrough up to Zozo, so all of your leveling up is up to you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Contents-- I.

Maria and the Wandering Gambler--[W12] M. The Magitek Factory--[W13] II. Acknowlegments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 1: Narshe Infiltration--[W1] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Watch the opening and learn about events. After that, watch or skip the snowfield trotting scene. You will now be in control. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Narshe TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This area is pretty straight forward. Just proceed up and you will be in your first battle. The first against 2 Guards. Defeat them easily with any beam attack or Bio Blast. Go up and you will get into 2 more fights back to back. The first one is against 2 Silver Lobos. They are easy to defeat. The next is against 2 Guards. Defeat them easily. Go up and you will get into yet ANOTHER fight. This time it is an attack from both sides (Surrounded). This is a disadvantageous position, as if a party memeber is attacked physically from behind, he/she will take double damage. In this case, don't panic. They are weak, so just attack. Go up. On the next screen, just proceed as normal and you come to, once again, another fight. This one may be a little tough. It is a fight against 2 Megalodoth and 2 Guards. The main concern is the Megadoloth. They can hit pretty hard, but they are not that tough. After the fight, go up through the cave. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Narshe Mines TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This area has some enemies. Go up and to the left, a save point. Save your game if you wish. Go up and a conversation will unfold. Guess what? THE FIRST BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Ymir HP: 1600 Ymir (Shell) HP: 50000 --This boss is pretty easy. All you have to do to try not to strike the shell. If you do, it will counter with Megavolt, which can target all or target a single party member, and it hurts. The boss uses Slime, which inflicts Slow. Try to take it slow, as the boss does retreat inside of its shell. Like I said, strike the shell and face the wrath of Megavolt. --The strategy: use any beam (even Thunder, since the head, not the Shell, does not absorb it). Have ?????? use Magitek Missile on the head. If you need to heal, use Healing Force or use ??????'s Cure magic. It's possible to defeat the shell, but it is not worth it. Trust me. DROP: Hi-Potion (the head), Ether (the shell) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, proceed up and the party will come across a frozen Esper. Watch the events unfold. After the event, the scene switches to ?????? in a house. Go left and watch the events unfold. After the name selection, watch the events unfold. After the man asks Terra to follow him, go through the door and follow the path. Check the clock for an Elixir. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 2: The Escape--[W2] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AREA: Narshe Mines TREASURES: Phoenix Down, Sleeping Bag -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NOTE: If you see any item boxes, it will be best to leave them alone for now. They will change later on. This area is straight forward. Follow the path and you will come across a save point. Proceed up and open the chest for a Phoenix Down. Proceed onward and you will come across another chest containing a Sleeping Bag. Go up and watch the event unfold. Now Terra is in some unknown area. More events unfold. Now the scene switches as another character is introduced. After the name selection, watch the conversation. After that, the scene then switches to where Locke finds Terra. Watch the events unfold and then we are introduced to a band of Moogles. Then there will be a tutorial about using 3 parties. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Guide Locke to an intersection and the other teams to another intersection. If one of the enemies touch one of your teams, then they will get into a battle. If you the team with Mog in it, Mog will learn a Dance called Twilight Requiem. If any of the party gets defeated, they will restart at 1 HP. When you destroy all of the enemies, go down to the leader. BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Guard Leader HP: 420 Silver Lobo x2 HP: 27 WEAK vs. Poison (Guard Leader), Fire (Silver Lobo) --The Guard Leader uses Net, which inflicts Stop. Watch out the Guard Leader's Charge. It hurts. --Strategy: Use Mog's team and use Twilight Requiem. If you use Locke's team, you can steal a Mythril Knife. To heal, you best off using Hi-Potions. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, watch the events unfold. When you take control of Locke, go to the man in front of the house to gain access. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Narshe TREASURES: Ether, Sleeping Bag -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In the Adventuring School, go to the bucket and examine it to get fully restored. Go through the door near it and save your progress. Open the chest to trigger a fight with a Silver Lobo. Defeat it and you will get...well, nothing (I label these type of chests "Monster Chest".) Examine the pot in front of the man for an Ether. Go out and go right and go through the first door you come across. Inside, open the chest for a Sleeping Bag. Go out and go to the door next to it. Inside, open the chest for a Potion. After exploring, head outside. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 3: To Figaro--[W3] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the world map, from Narshe, head S through a forest and SW through a desert. Proceed SW until you see a castle. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Figaro Castle TREASURES: Phoenix Down, Potion, Antidote, Gold Needle -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Go up and you will be stopped. After recognition, just keep going up and you will meet the king of Figaro Castle. Watch the events unfold. After the conversation, go out and head left or right and then up through a passage. Open the chest for a Phoenix Down. Go down and go right to a room. Inside, open the chests containing a Potion and an Antidote. Talk to the man, as he sells Tools. These are used by Edgar. --------------- | Tool Shop | --------------- ------ ---------------------------------- | Items | Cost | Effect | --------------- ------ ---------------------------------- | Auto Crossbow | 250 | Hits all enemies | | Noiseblaster | 500 | Inflicts Confuse on all enemies | | Bioblaster | 750 | Deals Poison damage and HP Drain | --------------- ------ ---------------------------------- Go out and go to the door to the left. Inside, open the chest for a Gold Needle. The man sells Items. -------------- | Item Shop | -------------- ------- -------------------------------------------- | Item | Cost | Effect | -------------- ------- -------------------------------------------- | Potion | 50 | Restores 50 HP | | Ether | 1500 | Restores 50 MP | | Antidote | 50 | Cures Poison | | Gold Needle | 200 | Cures Petrify | | Echo Screen | 120 | Cures Silence | | Phoenix Down | 500 | Revives a party member | | Sleeping Bag | 500 | Restores all HP and MP of one party member | | Tent | 1200 | Restores all HP and MP of party | -------------- ------- -------------------------------------------- Go down and go to through the left door. Go up and rest. Go downstairs and follow the path. Outside, go left and go into the tower. Talk to the old woman to learn about Edgar. After the event, go outside to the world map and save. Go back in and head to the Throne Room and talk to Edgar. View the conversation and then Kefka appears. Watch him talk and stuff and then Edgar appears. Guide Edgar and talk to the 2 Soldiers and Kefka. After Kefka leaves, go up and talk to Locke. After talking to Locke, guide Terra and follow Locke. View the conversation and watch the events unfold. When Kefka appears, talk to him. Now go up as you would go to the Throne Room and talk to the soldier. Watch the events unfold. BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Magitek Armor x2 HP: 210 --These two bosses are not that difficult. They use Metal Kick and Magitek Laser. Be extra careful about Magitek Laser, since its does a good chunk of damage. --Strategy: Attack and use Edgar's Tools. Use Terra's Fire to deal some good damage. Edgar's Noiseblaster will Confuse the mess out of them, so use it and watch them Magitek Laser themselves. If you use Magic, Edgar and Locke will have a conversation. DROP: Hi-Potion x2 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, more events will follow. After the events, ride SE of Figaro to a cave. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 4: Journey to the Leader of the Returners--[W4] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Enter the cave from the world map and you will see a Soldier. Talk to him and he will move. Press onward. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: South Figaro Cave TREASURES: Ether x2, Phoenix Down -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NOTE: If you see any item boxes, it will be best to leave them alone for now. They will change later on. This area is pretty straight forward. Go up and you will see a spring with a turtle. The spring fully recovers your HP and MP, so you might want to take some time to build up levels. Go right and then down. In the next room, go right and up the stairs to a room with a chest containing an Ether. Go back and take the right path. Follow it and then go right again at the next fork to a chest containing an Ether. Go past the stairs and take the stairs going up the ledge. Follow the path and you will reach a chest containing a Phoenix Down. Take the stairs that was skipped earlier and it is a straight- forward to the exit. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Now that you got past the cave, head SE to a town near a forest. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: South Figaro TREASURES: Potion x3, Elixir, Gold Needle, Teleport Stone, Green Cherry, Eye Drops, Antidote, 500 Gil, 1000 Gil, 1500 Gil, Phoenix Down -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NOTE: If you want better items, leave the items alone. They will change later on. --------------- | Weapon Shop | --------------- ------ ---------------------------------- | Item | Cost | Effect | --------------- ------ ---------------------------------- | Dagger | 150 | Nothing special | | Mythril Knife | 300 | Nothing special | | Mythril Sword | 450 | Nothing special | | Great Sword | 800 | Nothing special | | Noiseblaster | 500 | Inflicts Confuse on all enemies | | Bioblaster | 750 | Deals Poison damage and HP Drain | --------------- ------ ---------------------------------- --------------- | Armor Shop | --------------- ------ ----------------- | Item | Cost | Effect | --------------- ------ ----------------- | Buckler | 200 | Nothing special | | Heavy Shield | 400 | Nothing special | | Hairband | 150 | Nothing special | | Plumed Hat | 250 | Nothing special | | Cotton Robe | 200 | Nothing special | | Kenpo Gi | 250 | Nothing special | --------------- ------ ----------------- ------------------- | Relic Shop | ------------------- ------ -------------------------- | Item | Cost | Effect | ------------------- ------ -------------------------- | Sprint Shoes | 1500 | Doubles walking speed | | Silver Spectacles | 500 | Prevents Blind | | Star Pendant | 500 | Prevents Poison | | Jeweled Ring | 1000 | Prevents Stone | | Knight's Code | 1000 | Protects critical allies | | | | from physical attacks | ------------------- ------ -------------------------- -------------- | Item Shop | -------------- ------ -------------------------------------------- | Item | Cost | Effect | -------------- ------ -------------------------------------------- | Potion | 50 | Restores 50 HP | | Antidote | 50 | Cures Poison | | Gold Needle | 200 | Cures Petrify | | Eye Drops | 50 | Cures Blind | | Echo Screen | 120 | Cures Silence | | Phoenix Down | 500 | Revives a party member | | Sleeping Bag | 500 | Restores all HP and MP of one party member | | Tent | 1200 | Restores all HP and MP of party | -------------- ------ -------------------------------------------- Go to the Pub. You will be in the Pub if the music changes and talk to the ninja. Watch the conversation unfold. After the conversation, time to take a trip around town. First, re-equip everyone with the latest gear from the Armor Shop. Also try to equip some of the Relics, especially the Sprint Shoes. As for items, check the barrel near the entrance to the left of the Chocobo Stable for a Potion. Go down from the Chocobo Stable and turn left to a box containing a Gold Needle. Follow the path and check another box for Eye Drops. Check the barrel above it for an Antidote. Check the box near the Chocobo Stable for a Green Cherry. Go in the house nearby and go upstairs and go in the first door. Go behind the bookcase and follow the path. The first door is empty. The second contains a Save Point. The third has a room with chests containing 500 Gil, 1000 Gil, 1500 Gil, and an empty chest. Go back exit out the right door. Check the nearby barrel for a Phoenix Down. Go around the house to enter another room. Check the clock for an Elixir. Go down from the the boiler-thingy and you will end up in another room. Follow the path. To the right, a bucket contains a Potion. Go up the stairs and follow the path past the Item Shop until you reach a set of barrels. Check one of them for a Teleport Stone. Check the barrel between the Weapon and Armor Shop for a Potion. With all the stuff done for now, time to head out. Rent a chocobo (or whatever) and go N to a house. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Duncan's House TREASURES: Potion -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Go in the house. Edgar will start talking. Head over to the boiler-thingy and examine it. Then check the bucket near it for a Potion. After that, leave the house. Talk to the man outside to learn about some information. After that, head out and go E and then N to some mountains. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Mt. Kolts TREASURES: Main Gauche, Tent x2 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you enter, go into the cave. Follow the path and go into the next cave. In the cave, head right and go down. Go around the wall and exit the cave. You should be near a chest, which contains the Main Gauche. Go back and go up and cross the bridge to go out. When you exit, a dark figure appears. Follow the dark figure. On the next screen, there will be 2 caves. Take the right cave and follow it to a chest containing a Tent. Go out and take the other cave and follow it. Once agian, the dark figure runs. Pursuit it. Go up and cross the bridge and into a cave. On the next screen, there will be a Save Point, so save your game. Go out through the right cave and follow the path, as it is a straight-shot. Then you will see who the dark figure was. Go to him and talk to him. After the conversation...BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Vargas HP: 11600 Ipoon x2 HP: 360 WEAK vs. Poison (Vargas), Fire (Ipoons) --This boss is accompanied by 2 Ipoons. All they do is attack. You can't target yet until you defeat the 2 Ipoons. After they are dead, keep hitting Vargas. After a couple of rounds, Sabin will come and help. Vargas will blow everyone with Blizzard Fist except Sabin. Then it will be Sabin vs. Vargas, mano-o-mano. --Strategy: Use Auto Crossbow, Terra's Fire, and have Locke attack to get rid of the Ipoons. When fighting Vargas, have Locke steal and you may score the Mythril Claws. Edgar should use Bioblaster. Vargas has a deadly attack called Gale Cut, which deals Wind damage to the party. As for healing, use Potions and Cure. When Sabin comes, Vargas will strike Sabin with Doom Fist. Sabin will have 60 seconds to finish off Vargas. If you continue to pummel Vargas, he won't die...in time that is. Then you will learn how to input a Blitz. To finish off Vargas, input the Blitz command Left, Right, Left and press A. The Blitz command should be Raging Fist. This will finish off Vargas. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, a conversation will take place. After the conversation, go through the cave. Open the chest to get a Tent. The rest of the way is a straight-shot to the exit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 5: The Leader of the Returners--[W5] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the world map, go N until you reach a mountain. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Returner Hideout TREASURES: Phoenix Down x2, White Cape, Antidote, Air Knife, Knight's Code, Ether, Green Cherry, Hi-Potion, Gauntlet or Genji Glove -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you enter, go through the cave. When you enter, talk to the man. Follow him and go through the cave. Talk to the man, Banon. A conversation takes place. Now the scene switches to Terra. Talk to Locke nearby and open the nearby chest to get a Phoenix Down. Go left and then up across a bridge. In the next room, go up and open the chests, which contains a Phoenix Down, an Air Knife, and a Knight's Code. Check the bucket and pot to get an Antidote and an Ether. Go around and go down from the right side to discover a secret passage. This takes you to a chest containing the White Cape. Go out and explore some more. Talk to Sabin to learn some information. Talk to the man behind the counter. He sells goods. Oops...forgot the Item data. -------------- | Item Shop | -------------- ------ -------------------------------------------- | Item | Cost | Effect | -------------- ------ -------------------------------------------- | Eye Drops | 50 | Cures Blind | | Potion | 50 | Restores 50 HP | | Hi-Potion | 300 | Restores 250 HP | | Ether | 1500 | Restores 50 MP | | Echo Screen | 120 | Cures Silence | | Sleeping Bag | 500 | Restores all HP and MP of one party member | | Tent | 1200 | Restores all HP and MP of party | | Sprint Shoes | 1500 | Doubles walking speed | -------------- ------ -------------------------------------------- Go around the table and check the pot for a Green Cherry. Go up the stairs and go through the door. Talk to Edgar. After the talking, open the nearby chest to get a Hi-Potion. After that, make your way outside. Talk to the man so he can let you out. Outside, talk to Banon and a conversation will take place. If you select "Yes", then Banon will give you the Gauntlet Relic, which will use both hands to deal more damage, and a meeting will take place. If you select "No" 3 times, this will skip the meeting and you will get the Genji Glove, which enables 2 weapons to be equipped. It is your choice. I personally choose to get the Genji Glove. If you need to rest, do so now. Go back and save your game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 6: The Lethe River Escape--[W6] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go down and you will end up at the Lethe River. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Lethe River TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This area is pretty much guided. Make sure Banon does not bite the dust, or it will be a Game Over. At certain junctions, you have to choose a path. Follow these paths to get to the exit: Any path -> Save Point -> Left -> Save Point -> Boss! When you get to the Left/Up path, you can keep going up to get into battles. This is an excellent way to get some levels. Normally I would keep going up until Terra learns Fira, which I think is at about Level 20. Be sure to save your game at every stop. Since I am trying to get the Magicites at a low level, I pretty much take the correct paths. After the 2nd Save Point, there will be no paths to choose. Put everyone in the back rank before going. While you are going down the River, guess what... BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Ultros HP: 3000 WEAK vs. Fire, Lightning --Ultros can really throwdown if you are not at a high level (at this point, my party is: Terra (6), Edgar (8), Sabin (9), and Banon (4). Ultros will say all sorts of things, which will tell who his attack, Tentacle, will hit. It hurts. This is why the back rank is neccessary. His Tentacle attack can also target all. Beware of Ink, which causes Blind and do little damage. --Strategy: Have Terra casting Fire, Edgar Auto Crossbow-ing, Sabin using his Blitz Raging Fist or Aura Cannon (or other Blitz like Fire Dance?. I find Aura Cannon dealing more in my playthrough, since Sabin does not have it), and Banon using Pray. If you use Fire (or Fira, which can dish out about 1000+ damage), Ultros will take big damage (In my playthrough, 150 damage) and counter with Ink. Revive if neccessary *raises hand*. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, watch the event unfold. *LOL at event* Now...there will be a Scenario Selection: Terra, Sabin, and Locke. Order doesn't matter. For my scenario of choice: Terra and crew (need to get that Genji Glove off of Terra...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 7: Terra's Scenario--[W7] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Terra's scenario begins at the Lethe River. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Lethe River TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= You are almost at the end. Just hold out a little longer on the Lethe River. The Banon condition still applies, so make sure he doesn't bite the dust. There are no junction choosing or anything. When you reach the exit, you will be on the World map. From the starting point, go W and then NW to reach Narshe. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Narshe TREASURES: Nothing in particular -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you reach Narshe, go up and you will get stopped by some guards. After the conversation, go to the hidden cave that Locke found. If you need any healing, go to the Adventuring School and examine the bucket. The cave, if you forgot, is located to the left of the School. Examine it and the passage will open. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Narshe Mines TREASURES: Rune Blade -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Just go through the mines and follow the path. When you reach an area with a sparkling thing moving, try to remember the path. If you are lazy, wasn't looking, have short-term memory, or what has you, refer to the little diagram at the bottom (I tried my best). || | E|________ _| +++ | ___| |::|+|::::| | | |::|+|::::| | | |:| |::|++++++++| | |:|++++++|::::|+| | |:|+|::|+|::::|+| | |:|+|::|+|::::|+| |+++++ +++ +| |+|:::| |::|+|::|+| |+|:::| |::|+|::|+| |+++++++|::|++++++| =====|++++ |==== -- B-- || Screw up once, and you will get into a forced battle. After going through the room, follow the path and take the doorway up ahead. Follow it and you will end up in the Moogle Cave. Go up and then left through a hole. Follow it and open the chest containing a Rune Blade. Follow the path out and you will eventually end up at the man's house (you know, from the beginning). After the conversation, that will be the end of Terra's Scenario. Next up, Locke's Scenario! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 8: Locke's Scenario--[W8] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Locke's Scenario kicks off at South Figaro, which is under the Empire's grasp. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: South Figaro TREASURES: Hyper Wrist, Herme's Sandals, Ribbon, Hi-Ether, Great Sword, Heavy Shield, Iron Armor, X-Potion, Earring, -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This area is crawling with Imperial forces. What is there to do? You could go left and try to get past the Heavy Armor, that is if you are at a high level. You can go into the house at the starting point and go downstairs to a Save Point. Re-equip Locke and go the Item Shop. Talk to the Merchant and engage him. Use Steal to get his clothes from him. Now Locke has a Merchant disguise. Go to the house near the Item Shop. Go downstairs and talk to the kid. After that, go up through the door. Next, go upstairs and go left and talk to the soldier dude with the green hat-helmet thingy. Use Steal on the Cadet to get his uniform from him. Now Locke has a Cadet disguise. Head to the Pub and go downstairs. Go through the door and talk to the Merchant. Now you will engage with another Merchant. Use Steal, once again, to take his outfit. After the fight, Locke will get some Cider. What to do next? Go back to the house where the little kid let Locke through and go upstairs. Go to the left and down and talk to the old man. He will reveal some information. Now go downstairs and talk to the kid. For the password, choose "Courage" and he will show the hidden passage. Take the secret passage and you will end up in the same area with the Elixir. Just follow the path and go upstairs in the house. Go behind the bookcase and go down some stairs. Just follow the path and you will reach a point where you can ditch the disguise or keep. It's your call. Anywho...go all the way down (until you can't go down no more) and turn right. You will be in a secret passage. This room contains chests with a Hyper Wrist and the Herme's Sandals. Follow the path and an event will unfold. Another character introduction will come up. After the event, examine the guard and take the Old Clock Key. Go into the next door and save your game. Go all the way to the door at the end and navigate through the room and check the clock at the end. Wind up the clock and a secret passage will be revealed. Follow the path. At the first junction, go down to a chest containing an Iron Armor. Go back and go left and then up. Follow it to get the 2 chests, which contains a Heavy Shield and a Great Sword. Go back and go down all the way. When you go down, check to the left and you should move to the left. Go down and go downstairs. Check the basement for a Hi-Ether and an X-Potion. Go directly down from the X-Potion chest and press A for a chest containing the almight Ribbon. Now, backtrack and go down all the way. Turn left and open the chest containing an Earring. Now just go all the way to the right and up the stairs. Now you will be on the outside of the town. Just go right and you will be on the World Map. From South Figaro, go NW to the South Figaro Cave. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: South Figaro Cave TREASURES: Thunder Rod, Ether, X-Potion -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NOTE: If you see any item boxes, it will be best to leave them alone for now. The items will change later on. If you want, you can get them if you want. Just go through the cave as normal. As you go through the cave, the cave will start rumbling. You may find the Thunder Rod, an Ether, and a X-Potion here if you left all of the chests unopened. Just continue as normal and you will reach the area with the recovery spring. Heal up at the spring and go down. Put Locke and Celes in the back rank and prepare for the worst. BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Tunnel Armor HP: 1300 WEAK vs. Lightning, Water --This boss uses Thunder, Fire, Magitek Laser, Drill, and Poison. Drill can dish out some good damage. Those magic are killers. --Strategy: Simple. Have Celes use Runic to absorb the magic and have Locke attack. If you use Steal, you may score the Air Knife. Heal up with Potions and this boss will go down. DROP: Elixir <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Go out the cave and that will be the end of Locke's scenario. Now for the longest one (in my opinion), Sabin's. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 9: Sabin's Scenario--[W9] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So where in the world are we? Somewhere. So, how do we go about tackling this situation? Easy. Go to the house nearby. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Cabin TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you enter, a man on a chocobo will appear. He sell items. ------------------- | Merchant | ------------------- ------ ------------------------------------------- | Items | Cost | Effects | ------------------- ------ ------------------------------------------- | Potion | 50 | Restores 50 HP | | Phoenix Down | 500 | Revives a party member | | Tent | 1200 | Restores all HP and MP of party | | Plumed Hat | 250 | Nothing | | Shuriken | 30 | Use with "Throw" command; inflicts damage | | Invisibity Scroll | 200 | Use with "Throw" command; bestows Vanish | | Shadow Scroll | 400 | Use with "Throw" command: bestows Blink | | Sprint Shoes | 1500 | Doubles walking speed | ------------------- ------ ------------------------------------------- To the left, there is Shadow. Talk to him and have him join you. You can go into the Cabin and rest in the bed. When ready, venture E and S through a patch of forest until you see what looks like a patch of sand and a bridge. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Imperial Camp TREASURES: Star Pendant, Green Beret, Mythril Glove, Remedy (Doma Castle) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you reach the Imperial Camp, a conversation will take place as well as an event. A character will also be introduced. Fight the Captain with Cyan. To defeat him, use Bushido 2: Sky and wait for him to attack. This should kill the Captain in one swoop. Now the scene switches back to Sabin and Shadow. Go to the right and into the tent. Check the right side for a chest containing a Star Pendant. If you choose to kick it, you will fight Dobermans. If you hit it, then you won't get into a battle. Go back and go down past the bridge and a conversation will take place. After the conversation, the party will engage Kefka. Strike him and he will flee. Chase him and engage in another battle. Strike him and chase him. Go up the hill to a tent with 2 chests containing a Mythril Glove and a Monster Chest with a Green Beret. To beat the enemy, use Shurikens and have Sabin Blitz, though it will counter with Mega Berserk, which inflicts Berserk on Sabin. After the fight, talk to Kefka and fight him...again. After that, follow him and you will fight against 2 Imperial Soldiers and 2 Captains. After the fight, an event will unfold and control switches to Cyan. Go up through the door and go downstairs. Go out through the door and a conversation will take place. After the conversation, go down and down the stairs and hang left and through the door. Go right and check the pot near the fallen soldier for a Remedy. Go back upstairs and go up through the door to the right of the Throne Room. After the event, the scene switches to the Imperial Camp. Go help Cyan with the soldiers. After 3 battles, then the gang will pilot Magitek Armors. Go right and follow the path as if you are going back to the entrance. After a series of fights, the party decides to go to the forest to the south. On the world map, go S and then E past a bridge. To the SW lies Doma Castle, but it is under Imperial seige. When you cross the bridge, the forest is close. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Phantom Forest TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This area is pretty straight-forward. After coming from the area with the recovery spring, take the path to the right of it. Follow it and you will reach the a train station. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Phantom Train TREASURES: Earring, Phoenix Down x2, Hyper Wrist, Sniper Eye, -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= YES! An area with one of my favorite musics. Anywho...a conversation will take place and then Cyan suggest leaving. When you try, it will be too late. After the talking, head right into the next cart. Talk to the ghost and he will join your party. Go through the door and press the switch in the upper- right corner. After the conversation, keep going left until you reach as far as you can go. Go in the cart and try to go out. A ghost will stop the party. Engage it and defeat it. After that, ghosts will start appearing. Climb the ladder when you gain control and go to the end. After the suggestion, go into the cart nearby and press the switch to detach the rail. After detaching the rail, go back in and press the switch again to open a passage. Go through the passage and save your game. Don't worry about healing. There is a healing point at the next cart. Go there and get healed. After that, go outside and go around the cart. Go back into the cart from the right and open the chest containing an Earring. Go into the next cart and go into the door. Try to open and you will get into a... BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Siegfried HP: 1900 --This boss attacks 8 times at the beginning of the fight. They are pretty weak attacks. After that, he attacks once. --Strategy: This boss is pretty easy. If a person is equipped with the Black Belt, the boss will die before it finishes his attack. Even Shadow's dog will destroy the boss if the dog intercepts the attack. DROP: Green Cherry <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, the fool makes off with the chest. Oh well. Anywho...go to the left and continue. In the next cart, go into the room at the end and open the chests containing a Phoenix Down, a Sniper Eye, another Phoenix Down and a monster chest containing a Hyper Wrist. Go out and go left. The next cart is a save point, so save your game. Go to the left and you will be in the engineer's compartment. Press the left switch and the right switch. Go out and go to the front of the train and press the switch at the smokestack. BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Phantom Train HP: 1900 WEAK vs. Holy, Fire, Lightning --The train uses Wheel, which does some small damage. It also uses Acid Rain, which does some big damage to the party and inflicts HP Drain. Saintly Beam hurts big time. Both of those attacks hurt like a mutha. Watch out for Diabolic Whistle. It inflicts a variety of status effects such as Poison, Confuse, Poison, Slow, and Blind. --Strategy: Have Sabin use Aura Cannon, Cyan use Bushido 1: Fang, and Shadow chuch Shurikens. If you are reeeeeeally lazy, hit the blasted train with a Phoenix Down. (didn't know about this 'til I looked it up in the Nintendo Power March issue...). Oh yeah, and the party starts in the back rank. DROP: Tent <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After defeating the train, watch the event unfold. After the event, talk to Cyan and then talk to Shadow. After that, just wait. Now you will be on the World Map. Go S and then E and then N to some mountains. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Cave to Baren Falls TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This area is straight-forward. Just go up and you will reach a cliff. After the conversation, the jump off the cliff. While going down the cliff, you will fight monsters. 1st wave: Opinious Fish x2 2nd wave: Opinious Fish x3 3rd wave: Opinious Fish x2 4th wave: Opinious Fish x3 5th wave: Opinious Fish x3 6th wave: Rhizopas --The Rhizopas can use Blizzard and sometimes may attack. El Nino hurts, so watch out. Bite is not too bad. --Strategy: If only I was a higher level, then it will be Quadra Slice for me. Use Bushido 2: Sky and hope that the "boss" hits Cyan. As for Sabin, do whatever. I used Blitz Aura Cannon. After the fighting, Sabin and Cyan will be on the Veldt. An event and a character introduction will take place. After that, time to figure out what to do. Oh yeah, another of my favorite tracks. While on the Veldt, all, or most, enemies fought will appear. If you finish a fight and you see Gau (that boy a few seconds ago), there isn't much you can do. If you strike him, he will run. Go SE and E and then N until you reach a town. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Mobliz TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= --------------- | Weapon Shop | --------------- ------ --------- | Items | Cost | Effect | --------------- ------ --------- | Mythril Knife | 300 | Nothing | | Mythril Sword | 450 | Nothing | | Mythril Claws | 800 | Nothing | | Kotetsu | 800 | Nothing | --------------- ------ --------- -------------- | Armor Shop | -------------- ------ --------- | Items | Cost | Effects | -------------- ------ --------- | Buckler | 200 | Nothing | | Heavy Shield | 400 | Nothing | | Plumed Hat | 250 | Nothing | | Magus Hat | 600 | Nothing | | Bandana | 800 | Nothing | | Iron Helm | 1000 | Nothing | | Kenpo Gi | 250 | Nothing | | Iron Armor | 700 | Nothing | -------------- ------ --------- -------------- | Item Shop | -------------- ------ -------------------------------------------- | Items | Cost | Effect | -------------- ------ -------------------------------------------- | Dried Meat | 150 | Restores 150 HP | | Potion | 50 | Restores 50 HP | | Hi-Potion | 300 | Restores 250 HP | | Eye Drops | 50 | Cures Blind | | Green Cherry | 150 | Cures Imp | | Phoenix Down | 500 | Revives a party member | | Sleeping Bag | 500 | Restores all HP and MP of one party member | | Tent | 1200 | Restores all HP and MP of party | -------------- ------ -------------------------------------------- -------------- | Relic Shop | -------------- ------ -------------------------- | Sprint Shoes | 1500 | Doubles walking speed | | White Cape | 5000 | Prevents Imp and Silence | -------------- ------ -------------------------- There's nothing you can do here.

After the conversation, he will join your party. Take some time to use his Leap command to get some Rage. When you are ready, head S from Mobliz until you see a cave. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Crescent Mountain Cave TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= There is nothing special about this area. To find Gau's "treasure", just go through the cave as normal. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Serpent Trench TREASURES: X-Potion, Green Beret -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This area has 2 path selectors.

What? That's all I can find in this little town. If you want, go shopping and when you are ready, take the ferry to South Figaro. I knew I shoulda took the Mythril Spear from Mog when I had the chance... When you take the ferry, that will be the end of Sabin's scenario. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 10: Returners vs. the Empire--[W10] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After all 3 scenarios are complete, the scene will shift to Narshe where Banon has a conversation. After the events are over, you will be in the snowfield. Prepare and equip everyone. When you are ready, save your game and talk to Banon. You will have to divide into 3 teams. Since I am doing a low-level run up to Zozo, I may have to put my selfishness and put Gau in a party. Normally, I would have him by himself and do not use him. In this case, I will make an exception. Have a hard hitter and a healer in each team. After a long time thinking, here is my set-up: Team 1: Terra, Cyan, Locke Team 2: Sabin, Celes Team 3: Edgar, Gau This part of the game is pretty difficult at where I am. In my set-up, I have Terra act as a healer more often than a Fire user. Sabin is always using Aura Cannon (I know, everywhere in my FAQ, I say Aura Cannon. This is because it deals more damage) and Celes on healing duty. Edgar with Noiseblaster can Confuse enemies and Gau using Oversoul Rage or Bomb Rage. After disposing the advancing soldiers, move out the team toward Kefka. The soldier that is running left and right is the Hell's Rider. It is pretty darn powerful, especially Silver Lance. Watch out for Reverse Polarity. It switches front rank with back and vice-versa. If you have Locke fight it, steal and you may score the Mythril Vest. I used my first team to defeat it. I had Locke Steal and Cyan use Bushido 2: Sky to finish it. Now, for Kefka! BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Kefka HP: 3000 --This guy can really throwdown, though he looks goofy. I mean, he can use Poison, Confuse, Drain, Thunder, Blizzard, and Blizzara. Blizzara, I say! That Blizzara, at my level, is a OHK. --Strategy: After careful experimenting, I used Team 2. The reason is Celes. Use Runic so that she can absorb Kefka's magic. I had to make sure that Celes's HP is high. After defeating him, he will flee. DROP: Peace Ring <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, watch the event unfold. After the event and the conversation that follows later, you will have to go to Zozo with a party of 4 of your choice. My team: Celes, Cyan, Edgar, Sabin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 11: Chase Terra!--[W11] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TOWN: Narshe TREASURES: Elixir, 5000 Gil, Earring, Thief's Knife, Thief's Bracer, Hyper Wrist -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= While in Narshe, take some time to explore and do some shopping. First off, when you exit the house, follow the path (don't go down the stairs) until you reach a house. Inside, there are chests that containing 5000 Gil, an Earring, Thief's Knife, Reflect Ring, Thief's Bracer, and a Hyper Wrist. Don't worry about the locked chest. That will be discussed later.

Travel NE until you see a little cabin. Go in and examine the pot for a Hero's Ring. Now that we are done, time to head out.

There is an Auction house, but it is closed for now. The only to do here is to upgrade equipment and re-stock on items. Also go to Owzer's house and check the pot for an Ether. When you are ready, grab a chocobo (if you want) and go NE and N and follow until you reach a "town". -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Zozo TREASURES: Ether x2, Chainsaw, Brigand's Glove, Hi-Potion, Burning Fist, Potion MAGICITES: Ramuh, Cait Sith, Siren, Kirin -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Check it out. It's raining. Go into the building with the Pub sign. Follow the path and go to the right after climbing the stairs. Go through the right door and open the chest for an Ether. Don't worry about the left door. Go back down and go left and up and follow the path until you reach a building with what looks like an Inn sign. Go in and examine the clock. It will ask to set the time. Normally, it would take a long time to figure out the time, so let me tell you what it is: 6:10:50. Follow the opened path and open the chest for the Chainsaw Tool. Go out and go left. Follow the path and you will reach another building with an Armor Shop sign. Go in and open the chest for a Potion. Go out and go back and then go down and go into the building with what looks like a Relic Shop sign. Climb the stair and follow the path. When you reach outside, climb the stairs to the top and go through a door to a chest containing a Brigand's Glove. Go back down and go through the opened door and jump from building to building. From here, it is a straight shot. Be sure to check the pot and bucket for a Hi-Potion and an Ether. Also be sure to go into a door to get the Burning Fist. When you reach the end, you will see a man. Put people in the back rank (if you are low leveled). Talk to him and guess what... BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Dadaluma HP: 3270 WEAK vs. Poison --This boss uses Sweepkick, which does some damage and inflicts HP Drain. Later in the fight, he will call out 2 Iron Fists. When he starts taking more damage, he will use 3 Hi-Potions, restoring a grand total of 750 damage and then uses Protect. He can also Jump, but it is not that bad. Watch out for the Mythril Knife! It really, really hurts...on my file that is. (500+ damage = OHK) --Strategy: Like I always say on my earlier strategies: Blitz Aura Cannon, Blizzard, Drill Tool and Flash Tool, and Bushido 2: Sky. For some reason, he won't hit Cyan. If I was only high enough...that Bushido 4: Flurry would be mighty nice right now. As for healing, Cure or Hi-Potions. PRIZE: Thief's Knife, Twist Headband <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, climb the stairs and go through the door. Go up and talk to Terra. Watch the event and the conversation unfold. Now you will have 4 Esper magicites. Go down and talk to your companion that was left in Narshe. After that, more conversation will take place. Now you have a new destination: the Magitek Factory. You will be forced to take Celes and Locke. Bring two more people that you are comfortable with. My choice: Sabin and Edgar. YES! Now I can start leveling up now! You can take some time and start learning magic. If you want to learn magic with little leveling up, try killing nothing but the Harvester as a single enemy. It will give 3 Magic AP. I pretty much farmed on them until everyone learned all of the magic that is currently available. When you are ready, go back to Jidoor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 12: Maria and the Wandering Gambler--[W12] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Jidoor, go up and go inside Owzer's house, which is the huge house. Inside, talk to the man pacing left and right. Talk to him and a conversation will unfold. After the conversation, go down and examine the letter. After the character introduction, time to go to the Opera house. From Jidoor, head S and SE until you reach it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Opera House TREASURES: None -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you enter, talk to the man. Watch the conversation unfold. After the event, you have control of Locke. Go to the room where Celes ran. After the conversation, have Celes read the score (like you really need it. Besides, this IS a walkthrough, right?). After reading the score (or whatever), go through the door and outside. If you fail three times, it will serve as some sort of Game Over. If you didn't memorize the score, have short-term memory, or what has you, here are the correct choices to the score. You have a limited amount of time to select the appropriate line. If you do not select the line, the line the cursor is on will be selected. Select the right lines and enjoy one of most memorable events in FFVI: 1) "O my hero..." 2) "I'm the darkness..." 3) "Must my..." After selecting the lines and Draco turns into some flowers, go up and go to the end and watch the rest of the scene. After the scenes, you will have control of Locke. Read the letter and go outside and save. Talk to the Impresario. After the conversation and the event, you will have 5 minutes to reach Ultros. Go right and go up to the Stagehand. Press the switch to the far right and go out and go to the left side. Go through the door. Navigate the balcony. When you are fighting, try not to use Blitz all the time. It wastes time. When you reach Ultros, talk to him. After the somewhat funny conversation, you can already guess what's coming... BOSS ENCOUNTER! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> BOSS: Ultros HP: 2550 WEAK vs. Fire, Lightning --The octopus is back and sporting new attacks this time. He also moves to different parts of the stage. His attacks depends on where he is. Center- He can use Acid Rain, which damage inflicts damage on one side and inflicts HP drain. He also has the standard Tentacle attack and Ink. He has Imp Song, which inflicts Imp. Lower-left- He can use L.3 Confuse, which inflicts Confuse on those whose level is divisible by 3. He can also use Imp Song, which will inflict Imp. Upper-center- He can use Fire and Imp Song Lower-right- He can use Megavolt, Drain, and Imp Song. --Strategy: This boss is really easy. Make sure to put the party member that is alone in the back rank so Tentacle won't kill in one hit. All you have to do is pelt the silly octopus with Thundara, if you have it, or Thunder. If you do not have anyone with Thunder or Thundara, just use your best attacks: Edgar on Chainsaw or Drill and Sabin on Blitz Rising Phoenix or Aura Cannon. If Cyan, Bushido 4: Flurry. If Gau, Bomb Rage or some other Rage that can use thunder-elemental attacks or fire-elemental attacks. It took me three rounds of Thundara to finish the silly octopus. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After the fight, watch the event. AFter the event, you will be on the airship Blackjack. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AREA: Blackjack -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= You can un-equip everyone who is not in your party while on the ship. You can also buy items and get a free restoration.
