THIS IS CHALLENGE IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF TWO THINGS:
1. BECAUSE BOSSES ONLY GIVE AP, NOT EXP, SO YOU WON'T LEVEL UP (SOMETIMES)
2. YOU ONLY NEED A LEVEL ONE PARTY, FOUR CHARACTERS AT LEVEL ONE, TO BEAT THE FINAL BOSS

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Legal Things [KAD2]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This document is for Personal uses only. You must ask for my permission if you want to post
this somewhere else besides gamefaqs, other game sites are not optional. Don't ever change
anything in this document and then put your name as the author of this document. Don't even
change anything in this document, only I have the permission of doing so. If your saving
this to your computer, its legal, but showing this to someone else and not having my name
in it, is illegal. I'll sue you if you do. If that someone want to see it, tell them to
copy off of Gamefaqs. Any manipulation of the knowledge that I have given in this document
may be written in other Faqs, but they must credit me, KADFC (aka Fabian Chang), during any
part of their document, printing, etc...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Introduction [KAD3]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This Faqs is for people that have completed FFIX, if not done or first attempted, proceed
with caution, because this isn't a full walkthrough of the game itself. And you shouldn't
start anyways, unless you�re a perfectionist or want a good challenge. Better to have
finished the Excalibur Side quest first. This is based on flash back experience, some parts
would not be clearly explained. The main point in a level one game is not to have everyone
to be at level one at the end of the game, but whole game with the lowest levels. Quote
from Rebirth Flame 2002 'A level one game is not meant to be about having the entire party
at level one but the team you use to defeat the game at level one.' Aramant on the other
hand, when I got him, he was a level 3, so I did use him but not for the last battle. There
is a way to get everyone at level one, including Aramant even though I'm not going through
the process all over again. If you see one of your character levels up before your eyes,
restart, or never use that person in the game anymore. The real reason of why I started this,
is due to the explanation of how stats bonus works, so I decided to upgrade with the
equipment that could offer the most bonuses, while staying at level one to receive them
when I finally get to them. Others include beating Ozma at level one.
Adding more to this FAQ. This is done after this has been on here for quite a while now.
Due to me, the author, having to type one of these for the first time. I can't add too
much to this. First time and all. I promise on my other ones. I'll try to add as much as
I can.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tips [KAD5]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A. Don't recommended stealing all or any thing from bosses; they can be bought later in
the game.
B. Sell Ether and Pinions for emergent money, but keep at least one of each.
C. Flee from each battle, make sure Zidane has equipped a weapon that enables Flee. Always
equip him with Flee whenever knowing that random encounter will occur further on. Ignore
this if Flee is learned.
D. Eat with Quina, only when 2 or more enemies are met, eat one then flee to get no exp or Ap.
Ignore this if Zombie and Virus is present in all active bodies.
E. Use inflecting bad status weapon with the Add Stats ability on forced battles. Also use
Stop or Break when it�s available, so that you can have higher and faster chances of
ending the battle.
F. Tent can be used on bosses to give them blind, silence, or poison only. The after effect
is giving them a restoration in HP and MP.
G. Unequipped all weapons from a party that will not be in a major battle, unless it�s not
possible for that to happen, then everything will depend on luck.
H. Always save before you buy anything that you don't know what the Abilities that it offers
I. No point in catching frogs or Learning Frog Drop. Unless for Silk Robe, Elixir, Ether
J. Always read further for better preparation or start over from the last save.
K. Always make a save after you have played over an hour or passed two places.
L. It might be wise to get the Robe of Lords during your first time to the Chocobo Forest.
M. Always put everyone on the back row, unless you want to try something more dangerous and
different.
N. You must compromise from what you have learned from doing the game the original way plus
this, plus Excalibur 2. Compromise is the Keyword in this walkthrough
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Things You Should Know [KAD6]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are 3 really difficult parts in this challenge.
If you get pass all three of them, the
rest makes it seem like a piece of cake. But when you get one, please don�t feel discourages
and give up. This is better than any other challenge that I�ve done. You�ll be amazed when
people tell you you�re crazy.
1. Rescuing Dagger/Garnet from the Queen Brahne. There is a several battles in there, lose
one of them and you're screwed.
2. First time going into the Tifa Tree. The hard point lies within the 3 consecutive battles
that are given out. The first one is the hardest one to pass by. You have to cast stop
on both or all three of them skeleton creatures. There is an alternative way to beat them
though, if you read that section.
3. Battling the Red Dragon and then Meltigemini. Meltigemini gave me a lot trouble. Hope
you have better luck battling him. I got so pissed off that I started maxing out Zidane's
Thievery. I was going to do to the same for Frog Drop too, but that would be just too
insane.
For you to be able to get the full potential power of your characters, you have to do this
challenge, up until disc 3 or at the end of disc 4. This challenge will party used for Stat
Maxing if you want, I definitely prefer that you keep an extra save when you get there. It
will disappoint you if you don�t have one. For the Stat Maxing part, there is no true stat
max, the player decides what he wants his their characters. Overall if you don�t want to
take the hassle of knowing the basics, just put on the Author�s Choice and level up away.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My Terms (words used in this Faq) [KAD7]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Helper = my definition a person that uses Phoenix Downs, Cures, Potions, etc...Unactive
unless needed. Sometimes these helpers can activate after the opponent has just cast a spell
WOM = Ways of Obtaining Money
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Stats of Character at Level One [KAD8]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Zidane Sarah Vivi Steiner Freya Quina Eiko Aramant***
HP 105 70 60 120 100 90 65 168* 110**
MP 36 46 48 24 32 40 42 27* 26**
Ability 18 14 14 17 18 15 12 19* 18**
Crystals
Speed 23 21 16 18 20 14 19 22* 22**
Strength 21 14 12 24 20 18 13 22* 22**
Magic 18 23 24 12 16 20 21 13* 13**
Spirit 23 17 19 21 22 11 18 23* 15**
This is my table of everyone at level one.
The section with Aramant having the * means that is what I got for him in my level one
game, but he is actually at level 3. Others has got him a level one, so I will post what
they say his stats are at level one. Even though I have no proof, personally, in my saved
data that Aramant's Level one has those stats.
Those Stats are marked with **. These are the levels that I can not prove, of Aramant at
level one, given to me by Rebirth flame 2002.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Unknown and Unproven [KAD9]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A. The 3 forced battles in Pandemonium are inescapable, so the outcome would result
with having a level 30 Zidane or 3 member having level 22, 22,23. So far no one can possibly
get pass these battles without leveling up, if anyone ever finds a way to do so please inform
me by sending me an e-mail.
B. Vivi's focus may not increase the rate in which Stop or Break will succeed. Even if
Rebirth Flame said that it only increases the magic only, in my mind you can�t prove with
words. I said may, it could be correct, so this will be something to think about.
C. Although others have said that if you not level Blank to level 2 and don't level anyone
else Over 1, you'll get Aramant at level one when you get him at the end of Disc 2.

Walkthrough of the Level One Game
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Disc one [KAD10]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For most of the battles that I consider too easy, I'll only give a quick explantion, surely
the challenger has enough experience and that they get by without my help
On the Theatre Ship
Baku Masked (Mage Masher)
Just attack away, steal the Mage Masher if you want, being though it will be quite helful
later on in the game.
Steiner (Leather Hat, Silk Shirt) HP:170
If you want to get some extra cash or save some cash, steal those items.
Evil Forest
Prison Cage 2nd Battle (Broadsword, Leather Wrist) HP:525
Give Vivi a potion when you can tell that he can't take one more hit. Otherwise, aim
Zidane's attack at the Prison Cage
Baku (Iron Sword) HP:202
It's quite hard to steal his Iron Sword, just make sure you have enough potions. Restart
if you wasted it all and still haven't got that sword yet
Plant Brain (Iron Helm) HP:916
This battle should rely totally on Vivi and Steiner. Zidane can steal and give potions
away if you want to heal. Use fire sword and fire. Kill Zidane to bring Blank out. Use
Phoenix down on Zidane to bring him back and potions when needed. Four attackers is
way better than just three.
When facing the next battle, if you have 2, you can achieve Aramant at level one instead
three, this isn't proven, only a guess. Just divide the exp into 4, making everyone get 15
exp, not enough to level up to level 2. (An idea from Jobber)
For me, I wasn't too lucky and I didn't try this out. I thought that it was always have 4
Plant Spiders. I tried it twice and I kept getting 2 of them, so I gave up trying to beat
the Plant Brain and moved on. When I finally learned about this, I was well into the end
of disc 2. No point of starting all over, I just needed a party with Level Ones.
Plant Spiders (2x,x3, or x4) HP: 33 Exp: 22 Forced Battle
Kill all, leaving one alive. Kill off all your people, leaving Blank, then have him kill
the last one so that he will get all the exp. After battle, unequip everything from Blank.
If you�re going for all at level 1 and have encountered 2 of them, keep everyone alive and
kill both Spiders.
Ice Cavern
3rd Screen Bottom Right (Mage Masher)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(HARD BOSS*)
Black Waltz #1 with Sealion (Nothing Important/Mythril Dagger) HP: 229 HP/HP:472
Put these items on Zidane: Mage Masher, Leather Wrist, Silk Shirt, Leather Hat
Moonstone (optional)
First kill off the Black Waltz #1. Then as the Sealion attacks you, cure yourself with
Potion will he is attacking you. Bring yourself into Trance. Steal if you don't want to
use any more potions. Once in Trance, strike once with a regular attack and then quickly
use Tidal Flame to kill him. When I did first used this strategy, I lost on the first time
because I was too slow selecting Tidal Flame. Set your game speed to low if you're also
experiencing this problem
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norlich Heights
Steal from Python: Phoenix Pinion
Dali (Read WOM)
Make sure to unequip all equipment before entering Dali to buy the necessary junk.
Here are some recommendations to use because you can combine them to make a certain special
equipment when you reach Linblum:
Feather Hats-200 (for the number of Yellow Scarf)
Leather Hat(150) + Leather Shirt(270) (for the number of Desert Boot)
*Note*
It takes
Black Waltz #2 (Steepled Hat, Leather Plate) HP: 1030
Give Vivi and Steiner the highest Magic Defense and Magic Evade. Zidane and Dagger are
helpers. Attack with all you got, you'll need it if you're trying to kill him fast enough
before he kills you.
Black Waltz #3 (Linen Cuirass, Silver Glove) HP: 1128
Use Vivi's Trance to its advantage, enter the command quickly, and doesn�t matter what
the magic is. Do the same with Steiner. Zidane is a helper or stealer.
Lindblum
Once you land and get to control Zidane, unequip all equipment.
Buy the necessary junk and Use WOM. This is the place that it will apply to. (Read WOM)
If you have listen to me and bought the equipment from Dali, then you're very prepared
for the contest.
Recommend for Zidane in Festival of the Hunt:
The Ogre, Yellow Scarf, Leather Plate, Steepled Hat, and Glass Armlet.
And if you have extra cash, or by making some by using the WOM. Buy about 4 Rods, for Coral
Ring Later in the Game. Some Glass Armlets.
Festival of the Hunt
Zaghnol
Use Soul Blade to Blind the creature and before killing him, make sure you steal his
Needle Fork. It is very important that you get the Needle Fork. Without it, you can't
complete this Level One Game
*Note*
If there was a way to kill Zaghnol and let Freya win, so that you can get the
Coral Ring, that would be better than getting the gils for the Prize. The Coral Ring
a excellent accessory in one the hardest part in the game.
Buy equipment until you have one of everything. So that your people can always have something
to learn. You can't get Experience Points, but that doesn't mean you can't get AP for
abilites. That is what Bosses are for right
King Ed/Eunorus Plains
Steal from Lady Bug: Phoenix Pinion
Qu's Marsh
Axolotl: Phoenix Pinion
Get Quina and get her learn these Blue Magics.
Let Quina learn Limit Glove and/or Pumpkin Head/Mighty Guard etc...
Mandorga-Limit Glove, Hedgehog Pie/LadyBug-Pumkin Head, Serpion-Mighty Guard
Vice-Vanish, Axolotl/Clipper-Aqua Breath. The only ones that I must strees over are
Limit Glove, the rest you can just forgot about
*Note*
When letting Quina learn Blue Magics, s/he must use eat. A move that considers killing
the enemy, this will get you experience points. Which is not good. Make sure that there
are two of them instead of one. That way, once you learn the Blue Magic, Flee and get the
**** out of there. You got the magic, you don't want the exp too do you.
Chocobo Forest
Collect all the Chocograph from the forest. This should take some time, but it is fun
isn't it? Well, at least I think so.
Gizamaluke's Grotto
(Steal from Skeleton-Ether)
Eat Hornet-Vanish, Skeleton-Pumkin Head, Lamia-Lvl3 Def-Less
All of these Blue Skills, I didn't get any of them for my game. Just fun facts for you
to know and be attempted to get. LOL.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Mage x2 Forced Battle HP: 398
I suggest you save before entering this battle. Best done after Freya talks outside of
this place.
In this battle, you have to equip Quina with the Needle Fork and s/he must be the only
to attack them. Make sure you have stocked up with at least 20 Potions. This might
become long and boring. The point is to attack them and get them to petrify. You have
to petrify them and not kill them at the same time. Only this way will get you through
the battle and not get any experience points. Use potions to heal them if you didn't
petrify them successfully. Quina trys to stone them and the rest are helpers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get Bronze Vest, Magus Hat, Mythril Gloves from this place (all optional). I highly
consider the Bronze Vest to be useful, protecting you from petrify.
Gizamaluke (Ice Staff, Magus Hat) HP:3175
Save in the chamber with the Moogle before entering this battle
Use Soul blade or tent to silence/blind him. Prepare Quina's Limit Glove by having him with
1 HP. Have Freya use Jump and try to steal Ice Staff (optional).
Dagger and Steiner
When you control them get the Multina Racket,Buy Supply (optional) in case the last battle
has drain most of your supply and want to get some more without going back to Linblum.
Back to Zidane's Company
Go to the Chocobo's Track near Cleyra to get the Chocobo's transformation into Sea Chocobo
Head back to Chocobo's Forest for some extra Chocographs. There should be this Chocoograph
that is near by. You'll get the Oak Staff, access to Stop. Another good weapon with the
magic that you need also
In the Field
Eat Nymph for Night (optional but quite helpful), Lizard Man-Lvl3 Def-Less (optional)
Burmecia
-Eat Magic Vice for Magic Hammer (Ether) HP: 298
This is an excellent Blue Magic and I regretted it for underestimating this move
Black Mage x2 Forced Battle HP: 398
Use the Needle Fork Strategy or use Vivi's Stop or can use Magic Hammer to make them flee
Freya and Zidane are helpers. All three works, I just depends on how you want to take it.
About using Magic Hammer, I don't quite trust it yet because I have never used it on them,
I just heard it from someone else, so don't take my word on it, that it works or not.
Get the Lighting Staff from behind the Moggle and the Mythril Spear for Freya on the
the room across from this one.
Beatrix (Chain Plate, Mythril Sword) HP: 3630
Use Quina's Limit Glove to end the battle very quickly. I did decided to use this on my
ODINS game, but I died before I had the chance to use it. Or keep on using phoenix down
on fallen allies until she quits. She hates battling someone that won't quit, how
womanly of her, not to insult any females out there or anything.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Disc 2 [KAD11]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On the Train and the Events
Black Waltz #2 (Flame and Lightning Staff) HP: 1292
Give Steiner Man Eater with Iron Sword, Yellow Scarf (optional). Steal if you want those
two weapons are a real fine
Treno (Read WOM)
Get the Power Belt, Blood Sword (from the Stellazzio Coins)
Buy the items from the auction and sell them for some extra cash. Buy the necessary junk.
Recommendation (the necessary junk)
-2 Reflect Ring (Auto-Reflect, Distract, Reflect), 2 Madain's Ring (Body Temp,
Chemist, Guardian Mog) (both from Auction)
-3 Coral Ring (Insomnia, Man Eater, Lancer), Ice Staff and 2 Madain�s Ring. Stezallio Coins
get Blood Sword Desert Boots (Protect, Scan), 2 Glass Buckle (Antibody, Add Stats, Thunder),
Cachusa (Bright Eyes, Ability Up, Life), 2 Gold Choker (Auto-Potion, Flee-Gil, Shell) At
least 2 of everything from non-syth equipments. Needle Fork (Barrette)
*Note*
Best you can do is 4 Reflect Rings instead of the other Madain's Ring. With this you're
unstoppable. But Reflecting too much on them isn't really a good thing. Since killing
them means getting Exp, which is not good. Good for some battle, bad for non-bosses
Go kill the monster in the cell by throwing it a tent then killing it. MP attack, Bird Killer
I didn't do this in my game, but other said it was possible, besides it doesn't give EXP
anyways.
Gargant Roo
Grab the Chain Plate
Ralvurahva (Bone Wrist, Mythril Fork) HP: 2200
Make sure Steiner have the Blood Sword, Bug Killer (Bronze Helm), and MP Attack
(PowerBelt). Blank and Dagger are healers, cast Protect. Antibody will make this battle
even more easier. Don't underestimate this guy though.
Back to Zidane and Company and to Cleyra
Get to Quina learn Auto-Life from Carrion Worm (HP: 259). This is really helpful, next to
Limit Glove because this brings Limit Glove to it's main power source. Buy the necessary
stuff from the shop, which is whatever you think you can afford at the time, since you
can't use WOM at the moment
No recommendations
Antillion (Gold Helm, Mythril Vest) HP: 3938
Use Limit Glove with Auto-Life. In the mean time, use Tent or Soul Blade to stall some more time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alexandria Invasion
Going down Cleyra's Trunk, after each battle, save when possible (Run back up trunk to Cleyra)
Do this in each battle, these are some tips to use:
-Lower their hp, with exact calculation making their life low enough forcing them to escape
-Stock Potion and Phoenix downs. Get a lot of Tents as well, for the future.
-Magic Hammer the Black Mages or Stop magic or Needle fork them. Magic Hammer again isn't
approved by me, but it might work
-Remember the pattern is left, right, left, right, till the point in which right is not an option
and left has already been used, then just head up.
-Some say that using Magic Hammer on Soldier, makes them escape. Not quite sure about that
Solder HP: 523/ Black Mage: 526
Alexandria Soldier x2
Alexandria Soldier x2
Alexandria Soldier x2
Black Mage x2
Alexandria Soldier x3
Alexandria Soldier x3
Black Mage x1 Soldier x2
Alexandria Soldier x3
*Note*
I've heard on the board that this was one of the hardest parts for them. I, didn't have any
trouble getting by this part because I did the cheap way and saved whenever possible. Good Luck
to the rest of you that are trying to this. If this is one of your hard points, lets hope that
my hard parts, aren't your worst nightmare.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beatrix #2 (Thunder Gloves) HP: 4,736
Use Quina's Limit Glove to end the battle quickly. Or keep on using phoenix down on fallen
allies until she quits. Remeber that joke that I said before, well nevermind with that, forget
what I said before. and uh..Steal if you want, doesn't matter
Quina leaves, I still wanted to use it though. God Dammit. Odins comes and ...
UNEQUIP EVERYTHING BEFORE LISTENING TO BEATRIX AND BRAHNE TALK!!
And after that You MUST SAVE
Steiner and Marcus vs. 2 Soldiers (Phoenix Pinion) HP: 523
Give all the Exp to Marcus only, meaning that Steiner should be dead. Calculate the amount
of damage they need for them to escape. This might take a while. For some reason, a couple
times before, I've successfully gotten pass both soldiers without ever fighting them.
Yet apparently for this challenge, I lost my power. I wonder why.After that, start climbing
the ladder, unequip everything from Marcus. He shall now leave and never return... into
your party and under your command. Unless you Shark it, which I hope you won't do for this
challenge. If you wanted to do it, do it in the first place.
Back together
Thorn and Zorn (Mythril Armor, Mythril Armlet)
(Partisan, Stardust Rod) HP: 2,984/4,896
Set Man Eater and MP attack on everyone that can equip it. Just keep the one that keeps on
bouncing. Not bouncing means no threat, bouncing and your dead. LOL
YOU MUST SAVE, THE NEXT COUPLE STEPS CAN TAKE FOREVER!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparation
-Move Tent, Elixir, and Ether to the upper column of the menu, for easy excess
-Insomnia for Freya Coral Ring if available
-Reflect Ring, Coral Ring, Madain's Rings might and must have if possible, equip them to
Steiner, Zidane, and Vivi. Give them the other equipment of your desire, make sure the
Reflect ability are checked Freya should get a Coral Ring(optional) and Insomnia. Remember
to give all the exp to Beatrix only, meaning that you must let everyone die except for Beatrix
*Note*
-Beatrix (Ice Brand, Survival Vest) HP: 5,709
-Type C (Tent) HP: 623 Uses Fira, Blizzara, Thundara, Strike
-Bandersnatch (Tent) HP: 899
Round #1 Beatrix #3
Steal if you want, which I hope you do if you're using the Phoenix Down bluffing trick.
Keep using Phoenix down until she quits is the goal, but it wouldn't hurt to steal her
Survial Vest or Ice Brand
Round #2 Beatrix with Freya vs. Bandersnatch
Kill the Bandersnatch with this combination. Freya attacks once or twice (depending on
how much she did), kill Freya, Beatrix attacks and wins. If anyone goes down, be on helper
stance, once you revive the other wait to see what his next attack is. Once Freya is killed
and you have done damage to the beast, attack with Beatrix.
Round #3 Zidane, Dagger, Steiner, and Vivi vs. 3 Dark Mage
Reflect is the major key for safety against magic, but it might backfire. Use Soul Blade to
blind them, there phyical attack can be deadly. Use Silence from Dagger to eliminate Magic,
if reflect isn't available. Vivi Focuses 2 or 3 times, then use Stop, this somewhat increases
the chances. Tent can be used, but don't worry about the poison, it can�t kill them, but the
reflected magic might. If one of them dies, well... start over from the last save point.
Round #4 Same party vs. 2 Bandersnatch
Use tents like mad, until the Blind, Silence, and Poison Snake bite them. Vivi Focuses 2 or
3 times, then use Stop, this somewhat increases the chances to Stop them.
Unequip all accessories from Steiner when you have the chance
Round #5 Zidane, Vivi, and Dagger vs. Bandersnatch
Same Strategy as before:
Use tents like mad, until the Blind, Silence, and Poison Snake bite them.
Vivi Focuses 2 or 3 times, then use Stop, this somewhat increases the chances
Round #6 Freya (dead) with Beatrix vs. 2 Bandersnatch
Quickly use Climhazzard, before they put Beatrix to sleep. If they kill her,
try all over again, and please don't get too pissed off.
Round #7 Steiner, Freya (dead), with Beatrix vs. 2 Bandersnatch
On either Beatrix or Steiner's turn, throw a tent at the Bandersnatch or give Beatrix an
Elixir quickly. When Beatrix has full Mp, wait for Steiner to be killed, then use
Climhazzard. If Beatrix falls to sleep, have Steiner give her a nudge, caution this might
kill her. Depending if it's critical or not and depending if one the Bandersnatchs decided
to attack her as well.
Congratulation you have passed one of three parts of the hardest in the Level One Game. IMO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pinnacle Rock
Old Remarks made before my last update:
(Doesn't matter if you get all five passage or not, it doesn't' matter)
(Doesn't matter if you get all the weapons and chest here)
New Remark made on this update
(Just get to Linblum, I don't care what you get here)
Lindblum (Read WOM)
Buy the necessary junk.
Exploda and Power Belt is a must have, you can't live without them. Unless you want hell.
Exploda (Mage Masher, Mythril Dagger)+1000
Power Belt (Glass Buckle, Chain Mail)+2000
Get Quina from the Qu's Marsh
Go to Fossil Roo and pass that one handed machine... freak...
Entrance of Fossil Roo
Lani (Coral Sword, Gladius) HP: 5,708
Zidane have Man Eater, Mp Attack, and the strongest Armor available. She'll will aim for
Dagger so you must cast reflect on Dagger. Use Limit Glove to end it faster with the
Auto-Life magic of course
Conde Petit: Get the Diamond (Distract) Talk all you want, then save afterwards
Hilgigaris (Fairy Flute, Mythril Fork) HP: 8106
Vivi,Eiko,Dagger,Zidane (Requires luck and preparation)
For this battle, get Zidane life (HP) to end with a seven, if you know what I'm doing,
your actually correct. Hope that Zidane can use lucky seven to quickly end the battle,
before he gets killed. Silence him, but successful rate is low and kind of pointless
since earthquake can�t be silenced, so don't cast silence. Auto-Float Zidane is ok,
Distract is better. When you finally get 7777, don't you wonder why I have to be that
cheap? Oh, yeah for a side note, Vivi's Bio work, it just doesn't do a whole lotta
damage thats all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ifia Tree
Get the highest Spirit for Vivi when facing them and save after you have activated the
elevator on tree trunks. This might take forever to do, It took me personally 5 days to
accomplish.
An idea from Dingus McGee, quoted:
'alright KADFC, I kept fighting random battles until a zombie dragon showed up. Of course,
dagger and Eiko were on the back row so I casted shell on them both and his attack that
inflicts zombie status didn't quite kill them. so I then went on the elevator-thingy and
those zombie pricks there were 3 of them, so I castes life on 2 of them with my white magic
users and kills of Zidane and Vivi with Vivi casting Bio on himself and Zidane attacking
himself(I equipped him with no armor for him to die faster). then I lifted the other zombie.
after the fight I revived and restored and casted stop to kill the zombie dragon auto-fight.
Phoenix down killed the boss.'
In my own words and adding a little bit of my idea into it:
1. Encounter a dracomzombie
2. Remember to put everyone on the back row
3. Cast Protect on those that you think that has a chance of being infected by the breath.
4. Run away and save, rinse and repeat, but make sure the one that's inflected doesn't get
killed or you have to restart because zombie stats inflected characters cant be raised
back onto the battle field, unless its zombie is removed.
Most rules and absolutely the hardest of them all. IMO
You have to walk all the way to the bottom to face these opponents. Stroper can kill all,
with his sweep attack, time consuming random encounters.
Zombies (x2 or x3)
-Hit them all with Stop to end this match, seems impossible?
-Get Vivi very close to Trance, in hopes of that the Zombies will strike him and he will go
into Trance. Be warned Vivi might die from this with low defense, while in Trance have him
use Stop twice instead of once.
-Difficult and Hard points:
1. They use roulette, that if they are killed you have to start over
2. Their attack has a high chance of killing instantly one of your people
3. Their most devious attack known as 'Melt.' It kills themselves and one of
your guys. Start over, please
Note: If you used the strategy made by McGee, it might be more easier and quicker to get pass
these battles.
If you have passed the part from the top, Congratulation. If you ever see me on boards, plz
tell me how long it took you. THIS IS THE HARDEST PART IN THE WHOLE GAME. Two
third way of the way till no more difficulties, through my experience.
*From Author*
I was extremly pissed when I didn't think of this myself. Whatever, like I said before,
I still finished this challenge didn't I.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dracomzombie
Vivi Focuses 2 or 3 times, then use Stop, this somewhat increases the chances.Use Phoenix
Down when one of your guys die
Get the Brigandine and elixir on the floor that you have stopped
Last Boss of Ifia Tree Soul Cage (Brigadine, Magicans Cloak, Oak Staff) HP: 5700
Use an elixir as soon as possible, if you have passed the parts from before this, don't try
using Life or Phoenix Down, that would waste time and that means I hope you can pay the
price.
Back to Conde Petit
Aramant (Poison Knuckles, Ether) HP: 6800
Give Zidane Distract, Man Eater, with some high defense and evasion, and Viola. Auto-Potion
is extremly helpful, but to check this off you have to compromise with the other abilities.
I rather use Distract than Auto-Potion, depending if you have played this match before, to
steal his items. Equip Bandit then. Most simplest way to end this thing is to have Zidane
go into Trance and Dyne away. Use Auto-Potion and Distract, High Tide optional, to wait
for the Trance. And ah, attack when he says 'Here I go.'
Back to Ifia Tree
Prepare with a lot of phoenix downs, people with Insomnia and shadow absorbing equipment,
I believe Madain's Ring should be given to Vivi (IMO).
Mistodon HP: 1473
Have the whole party as healers, except for Vivi, that will do the stop magic casting. This
could waste a lot of phoenix downs. Eiko with the great Phoenix is helpful, but watch their
HP, if you get to close they will die. Use Tent or soul blade to turn them down. Get everyone
to use tent if you have to, but that IMO is a total waste of good profit.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Disc 3 [KAD12]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Alexandria
You must in god's name, get Angel Bless (Thievery) (Sorry for using god's name)
You'll be blessed with the strongest attack in the game, if powered up fully.
Treno
(Read WOM)
Stezallio Coin and Get the Dark Matter from the Auction. Buy whatever else you want
Battle of Alexandria
The order of operation: Protect the People Weimar and Haagen
Contact Lindblum Breireicht and Laudo
Gather Information Blutzen and Kohel
Fire the cannons Mullenkedheim and Dojebon
Using Steiner and Beatrix
Doesn't matter if Steiner is dead throughout the whole thing, because Beatrix can handle it
all. Just remember to keep her alive though, LOL. Give Beatrix an elixir or Hi-Potion with
Ether, to power up to other battles. Equip Beatrix with the best equipment available, giving
the highest Spirit. Keep on using Climhazzard or regular attack, with hi-potion to your desire.
Make sure to unequip your rare equipment off of her before the last time that you can, rare
meaning that you only have one of it.
*Tantarian*
Not recommend, unless up for the challenge, for the Running Shoes earliest in the game
No strategy to beat it yet. I have heard a lot people that have tried to beat him. Not
sure if they succeded or not. Hope you guys will do it, even though it will be meaningless.
Seeing that he'll give you exp and you'll have to restart soon.
Lindblum
Get the stuff you think you need.
(Read WOM, Steeple Hat is N/A)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain of things of recommendation or You can do this later on Disc 3
1. Killing for Thievery Section
2. Teach everyone Auto-Life and Auto-Reflect, if supply of these two are limited.
Don't teach Vivi Auto-Reflect because it�s not useable.
Teach Zidane, Freya, Aramant, Steiner Clear Headed if they are the ones to go to Oeilvert.
*NOTE*
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE CHOSEN TO GO TO OEILVERT HAS A SECOND CHANCE OF LEARNING THESE ABILITIES,
BUT STEALING WON'T BE PERMITTED, UNLESS YOU WANT TO
3. Esta Gaza to buy an early Octagon Staff for Vivi
4. Go to Chocobo's Lagoon and get the Mountain Transformation for Chocobo's, Then the
Deep Sea Chocobo's. Get some Dead Peppers. Have Quina eat a Tick Sparrow near Treno
or Zaghol in Lost Continent for Matra Magic (optional), Cactuar for Thousand Needles
(optional),etc.. (optional) Must read acquiring Zombie/Virus for this. Zombie Whale on
the coast of Esta Gaza, for purposes later in the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Mage Village
Only thing I can say is 'Black Belt'. I mean get it, it's free and all
Desert Palace (Have a spare Save due to any points in which you get stuck)
Send Zidane, Freya, Aramant, Steiner in the Party to Oeilvert. Steiner can be switched
with Quina, if Ark is too hard for you. Then you will need Clear Headed on Quina instead.
Oeilvert
Get the Chocobos, by going to the chocobo track located north of Qu's Marsh. You can learn
abilities for your characters that you now control. Buy a lot of Soft and throw them at the
Epitaphs for an easy 2 AP, Ability Up is useful.
Diamond Sword, Shield Armor, Power Vest, Feather Boots, Gaia Gear are inside Oeilvert. So
if you're thinking about buying them, think about it twice before you start wasting your
money/gils on the not needed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ark (Holy Lance, Power Vest) HP: 20,002
Equip Clear Headed and/or Auto-Life to everyone, without this you're in a world of restarts.
The Highest Spirit for the main attacker, this can be Zidane for thievery, Aramant for his
throws, or Quina for his Limit Glove and/or Auto-life. If Steiner is in your party have him
as a Helper/throwing Dead Pepper. Steal Holy Lance is a must, if you want to see how much
your Dragon Crest can do later in the game.
Another Strategy Mentioned by McGee:
1. Get a high Spirit with Robe of Lords, put this on Eiko. Nevermind I'm going to quote it
again-' the way I killed ark: I brought along Eiko in the party that faces ark. I equipd
her with tiger racket, (insert name of best defensive head armor available at time here),
egoist armlet, lord of robe and protect ring. abilities were clearheaded and auto-potion.
he couldnt do enough damage to kill me soit kept auto-potioning and he couldnt confuse
me so I won with easy ease!! what did u do, kadfc?' This time easier to understand.
*NOTE*
If you getting Robe of Lords is part of your liking, go for it for all I care. I on the hand,
won't ever do that, not even for my perfect game.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile at Desert Palace
This is tricky. Yet can be done with skills and patience. Other than that good luck to you.
Buy Magic Racket for later. Have Vivi with the most spirit. Auto-Reflect isn't possible on Vivi.
Auto-Reflect is a major save for the others, but watch when their HP goes down. Insomnia or
Locomotion should be put to considerations. If Auto-Reflect is not distributed. Get all the
treasure here, this will lower the Valia's power to kill you.
The Treasures are: Promist Ring-Anklet-Shield Armor-(N-Kai Armlet)-Black Hood-(Venetia Shield)
Valia Pira HP:12,119
Set Dead Pepper at the top of the item list, you'll be needing quick access to these. Have
Vivi use Water, after Focusing for a couple of times. Have everyone else use Phoenix Down
on fallen allies, in other cases if no one is dead, have them chuck Dead Pepper on the boss.
Limit Glove if Quina is in the party, or have him use Magic Hammer.
Future Preparations (have a spare save after the battle with Valia Pira)
Eiko must have a equipment that enables Mini (Magic Racket). I'm not quite sure if this will
increase the success rate to mate Meltigemini, but anything is worth a try. Give her also the
antibody ability or Auto-life. Best to give her a equip that gives high spirits, Dagger isn't
a great caster for right now. I'm saying this becaues, if you know the storyline, you won't
be able to, or ever have a slight chance except what I'm telling you right now, equip Eiko
for the Meltigemini fight.
Reunion (#2)
Get Namingway Card, not needed if you hate cards as much as I do.
Esta Gaza
Get the stuff you think you need. Especially the Octagon Staff for Vivi and Flame Saber for
Steiner.
(Optional: Get Quina to Eat a Anemone (Qu's Marsh of Forgotten Continents))
Mt. Gulug
Must enter with Vivi, Zidane and Quina, the other one doesn't matter. Head down a floor with
the rope, go right and save. Give Vivi the highest spirit or evade and no matter what, equip
the Octagon Staff. Keep on entering down on the ropes, this will make the thing fall down,
so that you can face the Red Dragons.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red Dragons (Elixir, Ether)
-Give everyone Auto-Life and/or clearheaded,
-On Zidane's turn have him use Soul Blade or Tent
-Quina cast Auto-Life on the people that have been killed before
-The other one should use tent
-The main point in this battle is to have both Red Dragons blinded before their air powered
assassinations begins. Blind is a part of way to prevent Vivi from Dying so quickly, so that
he may have a longer amount of time to cast stop.
Head back up and save for the ...
The final hardest part of the game, IMO.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meltigemini: (Demon's Vest, Golden Hairpin, Vaccine) HP: 24,348
The fact that I think he is the last hardest boss is because:
1. You have to wait over 5 minutes, with a turbo controller, just to have a chance to play
against him. Meaning if you died before. I counter the time it took, how pathetic of me.
I know, I know, that's what I get for being the one of the first people to do this challenge.
2. His first attack has a higher chance of being Viral Smoke, an attack that kills everyone,
if you�re not prepared with Auto-Life. Even Auto-Reflect can�t prevent you from this. So
better have Auto-Life
3. Bio can kill one or the whole party as the second attack.
My Strategy
-Party containing Quina, Zidane, Eiko (replacing Vivi), and Freya or Aramant
-Have everyone with Auto-Life ( A MUST!)
-Eiko use mini whenever possible (This one I'm not too found of because I didn't have the
power to use it on him myself. It never suceeded in my game.)
-Zidane using Thievery (9999)
-Freya using Jump (Optional, but being quite effective or just plain luck)
-Aramant can cast Aura on people that used up their own Auto-life already
-Quina use Dead Pepper until dead, rise with one HP, cast Limit Glove (9999). Meaning he comes
in with full HP. Wait till he dies and the Auto-Life will get him back on to its feets. And
by then you should get it to use Limit Glove.
-Don't use Tent
If he uses Viral Smoke as the first attack, too bad, wait another 5 minutes to try again.
Because you'll surely die from it.
Congrats! You've made it through the last of the three hardest bosses in the game! Just hope
that the Three Pandemonium fights, Kuja + Garland, and Kuja + Garland doesn't get the best of
you. There aren't really that hard, really. LOL, you'll find out for yourself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lindblum (getting the Airship)
-Buy whatever you so please
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some Recommendations
Do these things so that you'll have a chance when you're at Terra, the end of disc 3.
-Finish the Chocobo's Sidequest for the chance to face Ozma. The weapons shouldn't be taken
to be useful, but the accessories might and its abilities
-Go to Daguerreo for some better equipment. Opals for Shiva. Get Three or Four Coronets
-The formula of Unlimited money lies within Dark Mage Village and Dali. Read WOM
-Get a extra ribbon from the auction.
-Alexandria to pickup some items
-Killing For Dragon Crest Section
-Easier Way of Getting AP for Disc 3 Section
-Get Running Shoes, for Auto-Haste, quite useful for Zidane's Stealing.
-Go to Treno and give the lady your coins, try to aim for the Robe of Lords
*Note*
To get the most of this game, you probably want to do every single thing that will max
your rate to beat this game. In that case do everything that I listed above. And if you want
you probably want to kill Ozma anyways, staying at the levels that you want. Read Hyprophant's
FAQ if you want to beat him. She has a better strategies for beating him.
If you want to take this game to next level of easy, try to Powerup Frog Drop.
You'll need to catch 9999 frogs, since she is at level one. That is a better challenge than
this challenge any day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ispen's Castle (Party: Zidane, Steiner, other 2 doesn't matter)
Ancient Aroma (optional) (It's really just there for looks)
Taharka (Orichalcon, Mythril Claws) HP: 29,186
Steal Orichalcon and the Mythril Claws if you want. Both are good to sell for gils. Give
Steiner the heat inflicting sword known as the 'Flame Saber.' Add Stats checked off too.
Other two members are Helpers and remember not to attack when he is compact. Once he gets
heat, the battle will be soon over because he is machine and doesn't have a mind of his own.
Four Shrine
Get everyone to their destined location, while Zidane and Quina, being the best useful
character in the game, IMO, goes 2 on 1 against Lich.
Lich vs. Zidane and Quina (Rubber Suit, Avenger) HP: 20,756
Equip with element absorbers like Coral Ring, Madain's Ring, Gaia Gear, Rosetta Ring. He will
cast all these types of magic in your battle, so don't be surprise if your item didn't
absorb his attacks. Auto-Reflect, Auto-Life, Distract are some good abilities to keep in mind
Get Quina a Hp of one, for Limit Glove, which is really cheap, but hey I'm up for it.
Thievery and Soul Blade for Zidane, even cheaper if powered up all the way. Use tent if you
want, even though I never used it on him before.
-Optional: Use Quina's Bad Breath to Inflict the Mini Stats and eat Lich to learn Earthquake
*IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PEOPLE THAT WANTS MAX STAT*
If you are trying to do the whole max stats, thing. I think to say that you should keep an
extra save right here, before going into Terra. Once inside, you won't come back out. So
this save can be used for two things.
1. To show to any of your friends or family memebers that everyone in the game are all at
level one so far. Also if I can find a way to get pass the Pandemonium without getting
any exp.
2. This is in any case in which you want to do some max stating during the Pandemonium fight.
Why not get some better stats will you're getting leveled up. Some higher stats, is better
than no increase, from the normal, at all.
*END OF IMPORTANT NOTE*
Going to Terra
Preparations:
Keep in mind that Dagger and Steiner cant be equippable once they have entered to Terra
until the three mini-boss battles have ended. So I will show you how to prepare before going.
Dagger- Gaia Gear with Auto-Life, Shiva with 99 opals
Zidane- Thievery doing over 9,000; Auto-Life, Distract, Gamble Defense
Quina- Auto-life ability and Magic, the highest magic evade
Aramant- Auto-Reflect, Gamble Defense
Freya- Dragon Crest doing 9,999; Auto-Reflect, Distract
Steiner-Auto-Life, Coral Ring, Distract
*Note*
You might have better items/equipment than me, in which case, you can use this as reference
to make your own battle plans up.
Enter into Terra
Once you enter Bran Bal, immediately proceed right and buy equipment, don't find the place
for Dagger to rest yet. Buy Flash Hat and others. Equip a Flash Hat for Zidane and Quina.
You must buy the Holy Lance, unless you already got one.
This determines how you enter disc 4, with 3 people at level 22 or higher OR with Zidane at
a level 31. If Zidane was at level beside 1, I don't really know if I would be consider a
level one game.
*REALLY IMPORTANT NOTE*
THESE THREE BATTLES ARE FORCED AND THE CHARACTER MUST GET EXP, SOME WAY OR ANOTHER.
THE MINI-BOSSES HERE ARE IMMUNE TO EVERYTHING, THEY ARE UNLIKE THE RANDOM BATTLE ENIMIES
THAT YOU HAVE HAVE FOUGHTEN EVERYWHERE ELSE. ONLY EXCEPTION IS THAT DURING THE SECOND
BATTLE, ABADON HAS THE POWER TO INFLICT VIRUS FLY ON YOU, SO THAT YOU WON'T GET ANY EXP.
*Side Note*
I, for one, have never recieved that Virus Fly and never wanted to do that part over and
over again. It took 5 minutes to get there, ok. I rather settle with beating them with
my desired plan instead.
First Battle
Amdusias vs. Zidane, Freya, and Aramant HP: 6,578
Zidane dies with Bio given to him. Freya comes in once Zidane's ATB bar is filled up
Use Thievery with Zidane to bring out Aramant. Keep as note, When Amdusias is on the ground
he castes magic. When he is in the air, he attacks physically. Deal between 2000 and 4000 to
him. Then kill off Zidane and Freya, do this when Amdusias is not in the air. Aramant uses
No Mercy and he should be dead. Next up...
Second Battle
Abadon vs. Quina, Steiner, and Zidane HP: 12,658
Abadon uses High Wind, Quina and Steiner comes up. Attack with Steiner, Quina cast Auto-Life
onto Steiner. Phoenix down any fallen allies. Once Zidane enters, have him use Thievery
Wait for the second High Wind and make sure Steiner has Auto-Life still with him and the
others do not then kill Abadon with Steiner Or wait for Abadon to have his turn. Quickly
kill off Zidane and Quina, Strike with Steiner. Just hope that the next move used by
Abadon is Thundaga. This one takes a lot of luck to beat.
Third Battle
Shell Dragon vs. Zidane and Dagger HP: 12,661
Wait for the Dragon to kill Zidane, Zidane uses his Auto-life and Dagger comes in. Have
Zidane use Thievery, hope that Dagger isn�t the one being killed, revive them if they do
1. Kill Zidane off after Dragon has used his turn, and Quickly summon Shiva
2. Have Dragon use Smash to kill off Zidane, Dagger comes up, hope that he uses Earthquake,
then summon Shiva.
SAVE NO MATTER WHAT, SAVE! EVEN IF IT'S ON A SEPARATE FILE, SAVE!
My Party: Zidane, Freya, Vivi, and Quina
Don't get any treasure through out the walk, not worth it. Don't change the abilities as
before, except give Vivi Auto-Life. Set the elevator to 4 and go straight up
Keep going up. SAVE AGAIN. On a separate file would be nice, considering that you probably
want to head back and buy something from the moogle and whatnot.
Silver Dragon (Kaiser Knuckles, Dragon Mail) HP: 24,055
For Preparations: Give the Ribbon to the Freya, that can do the most damage because of
Dragon Crest. Vivi with his Octagon Staff and Coronets to Zidane and Quina. If you got
Thievery to attack more than Freya's Dragon Crest. Give the Ribbon to Zidane then and
exchange. Hopes of it not using the Shockwave. Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove,
Vivi as helper
OR
Cast night, wait Quina bar to fill up, use Thievery and Dragon Crest quickly then night,
rinse and repeat, until the dragon dies. This requires insomnia, but Auto-Life is needed
for the other consecutive battles later, so this shouldn't be used.
Garland (Dark Gear, Ninja Gear, Battle Boots) HP: 40,728
Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper. If two allies falls, others become
helpers immeatitly. Auto-Life Quina if she dies, then use Limit Glove. OR Quina as a helper
that castes Auto-Life on others that don't have it. You can use tent if you want.
Kuja (Light Robe, Carabini Mail) HP: 42,382
Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper. If two allies falls, others become
helpers immeatiliy. Quina should use White wind during in times of critical life. Measure
his life, if he cures himself, just send another 2 or 3 9,000 hitters and he should be dead.
So if you have reach this point don't waste your time with Phoenix Downs.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Disc 4 [KAD13]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In my opinion, it doesn't matter whatever you buy in Daguerreo or Black Mage Village, I
see them as pointless a waste of money and time. Just keep the same equipment until said to
change, same abilities unless said to change.
There is something you can do though. That is go to the Treno Auction and get a second Ribbon
or third one. That would make it way more in advantage
Top of Ifia Tree
Nova Dragon (Grand Armor, Dragon Wrist) HP: 54,940 (Almost the same as Silver Dragon Strategy)
Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper OR Cast night, wait Quina bar to
fill up, use Thievery and Dragon Crest quickly then night, rinse and repeat, until the
dragon dies. Make sure Insomnia is given to everyone. Give the Ribbon to Freya. Vivi with
his Octagon Staff and Coronets to Zidane and Quina. Hopes of it not using the Shockwave
Memoria
Doesn't matter if you get the treasure weapons or not. Get Kain's Lance if you haven't
got the Holy Lance with you.
Maliris (Masamune, Ultima Sword, Genji Armor) HP: 59,497
Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper. Quina's second job is to secure that
everyone has auto-life on them. Even if a player has heat, and another has the ability to
perform a 9999 hitter, doesn't matter if that persons dies. Better to have Auto-Life on them,
so when they die from the heat, they easily get back up and fight on. Once you have defeated
him, even if he can kill everyone. Auto-Life will keep everyone alive. Nice idea if Rosetta
Ring if equipped to any of them, yet that is optional since I didn't have one at the time.
Tiamat (Grand Helm, Feather Boots, Blood Sword) HP: 59,494
Give everyone Clear Headed. Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper.
Coronet and Ribbon must be equipped properly to your main attackers.
Hades (optional)
Save the screen before this one, you never might know, you aren't god in this challenge
you know. Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper, just like before.
You won't ever get bored of this strategy, you know why? Because it works thats why.
This boss is similar to the last boss. Make sure your speed is set to low as possible
Fight him if you want, doesn't matter. A better way to do this and actually have him
count is get Virus status on before you fight on. But by me telling you that, you probably
are right here reading here right now and trying to fight this guy. It's not my problem
that you didn't read this whole thing before coming in here.
Kraken (Glutton's Robe, Wizard Rod, Genji Helmet) HP:59,496
Ribbon and Octagon Staff must be equipped, Octagon Staff on Vivi of course. Use Thievery,
Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper. Attack only Kraken itself, once he dies, he is
done. Body Temp should be optional, since I never had a trouble with him, I was unstoppable.
Lich (Black Robe, Siren's Flute, Genji Gloves) HP: 58,554
Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper, once again. Vivi should give remedy
to people that have been stopped. Equip Gaia Gear or other Earth absorbing equipment Distract.
Locomotion and Tent should be optional. But Auto-Life, IMO, is the best because you won't
ever die, to some luck.
Must Save Beforehand
Deathguise (Duel Claws, Black Belt) HP: 55,535
Beware of the combo that follows: Meteor and Spin, this kills everyone, start over again
Use Magic Hammer and Auto-Life on Zidane, since he takes the lowest number of Mp to use
his attack. Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper. Cast night, wait
Quina bar to fill up, use Thievery and Dragon Crest quickly then night, rinse and repeat.
Make sure Insomnia is given to everyone. Coral Ring or Flash Hat is optional, so other
fire and blizzard absorbing equipment.
*Special Note*
For the best ways of beating the last bosses, its recommended that you give
all characters the Auto-ability �Auto-Life.� Some won�t have enough ability crystals as I
may recall, but have them on the ones that can actually equip it.
*Vivi* He doesn�t have to be the helper really, I just picked him over the others because
he is one my favorite dude and that the fact he is still on level 1, Eiko will probably be
the other choice of opition. I am not sexist, if Vivi did have a sex, but from my point
of view, he should be a male. I think...
YOU MUST SAVE! (This is the ending of this challenge anyways.)
Try to keep your cool and not be too stressed out or too excited.
Trance Kuja (the same strategy as before)
Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper, just like before, how nice. If two
allies falls, others become helpers immediately. Quina should use White wind during in times
of critical life and Auto-Life to get the Limit Glove working as soon as he dies. If it dies
without Auto-Life, use a phoenix down to get it back up and have it cast Auto-Life on itself,
rinse, and repeat or don�t use this whole strategy altogether, since it�s a total waste of
time. Instead hope that Zidane and Freya wipes his HP out fast. Kuja is quite quick for a guy
that steals turns. Loser. Also use elixir for Mp restoration, it is the last battles after
all, there is no point in saving them up. Ether if you ran out of Elixirs.
Necron
Use Thievery, Dragon Crest, Limit Glove, Vivi as helper, for the last time and I mean the
last time when I say it. If two allies falls, others become helpers immediately. Grand
Cross: Depends on luck. If it kills everyone, which could be a good thing and a bad
thing. You will waste your Auto-Life, but you'll get the upper hand of passing from the
only full party killer. Good luck to you for trying to beat him.
*Special Note* In some cases, you might be extremely lucky. In which he tries to attack
someone that has been petrified and it causes no damage or any type of special effect.
Stupid computer program. This will be one extra turn that he hands to you to kill him.
On my 3rd battle with him, he did this 4 times in a row, how stupid can they me?
Congrats! You have now beaten the Level One Game for Final Fantasy IX!
Should I recommend that you that you try these challenge as well:
-No Equipment Game: I did this one
-Attack and Item Only Game: Willing to try this someday
-Excalibur 2: You better have finished this one, before getting started on this one.
-Ozma at Level One: With luck and skills like Hyprophant, you can do this as well.
T H E E N D
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ways of obtaining money: [KAD14]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. Play Chocobo's Forest, Lagoon, or Air Garden to get items and then sell them all.
Phoenix Pinion are the main part of this process, other work as well, this includes
getting raw money. If you want to waste time by getting money, you could also try to get
Robe of Lords, it definitely becomes useful during anytime in the game.
2. Steal from the creatures, like ether and phoenix pinion then sell them. Each are worth
1000. After you have stole the items, you could flee or Stop/Petrify them.
My personal way of doing this:
-Near Lindblum Castle near Pinnacle Rock.
-Steal Ether or Phoenix Pinion from the Axe Beaks.
-Sell and repeat
-Get a lot phoenix down or potion, if early in the game, to restore fallen allies
-Recommend abilities for Zidane: Distract, Bandit, Insomnia, Auto-Haste, Master Thief
optional) Insomnia should be on everyone.
3. Wrist+Steeple Hat=Cotton Robe Trick
Make sure how much to buy what and what, I have left money to make them and sell them.
Steepled Hat = 260 + Wrist = 130 + Synthesis = 1000
So, to make the best calculation, first take what you have and minus 1000 for the Synthesis
of one and also minus the price one of the other item that you can not buy. Next, divide
the remaining money by the cost of the closes item. This will determine how much you would
buy right now.
Ex: Dali has Wrist Lindblum has Steeple Hat
So if I was in Dali and I have 5000. Using my calculations, 5000- (1000+260), I would have
a final of 3640.The first was the cost of one synthesis and the second was the cost of one
steeple hat. Then take the final sum and divide that buy the cost of one steeple hat 260,
which is 3640 / 260 = 14. This means I can buy 14 wrists right now. Once at Lindblum, I
would buy a steeple hat, synth it into a Cotton Robe, sell it, buy another steeple hat,
sell it, rinse and repeat, but make sure that you always have 1000 after you have bought
the steeple hats.
This trick should not be used unless you know what you�re doing. Meaning if you know there
is an important key equipment that needs the money don't perform this trick, unless you
know how to compromise. This is a table of where and when to have this: (Spoilers)
Disc 1
A. Dali 1st time Buy Wrist
B. Linblum 1st time + Steeple Hat = Cotton Robe, then buy Buy Steeple Hat
A-the first time to Dali after getting out of Ice Cavern
B-the first time to Dali after introduction to Cid and Freya
Disc 2
A. Treno - Dali Dagger and Steiner + Wrist = Cotton Robe
Go back and buy Wrist from Dali
B. Linblum Zidane and Party + Steeple Hat = Cotton Robe
Buy Steeple Hat from Linblum
A-When Dagger and Steiner accompanied by Marcus to get Supersoft. You'll have to use the
gate pass to get to Dali
B-After Zidane was defeated by Beatrix and they are about to go to Cleyra. Go
to Linblum.
Disc 3
A. Treno - Dali Zidane and others + Wrist = Cotton Robe
Don't go back to buy Wrist
A-When Zidane and the others went to Treno for the Card Tournament.
Extra knowledge - Don't buy the Wrist because its waste of time and money, due the fact
that Linblum nor any other place will sell Steeple Hat, until you have release the Black
Mages from the control of Kuja.
Got Airship Unlimited Money
Dali for Wrist Black Mage Village for Steeple Hat and Synthesis into Cotton Robe
Just fly back from one place to another. Use Chocobo to make the trip to the Village more
easier. This can be done unlimited times, to the money of your desire.
Disc 4 None of this is Available
Linblum nor Black Mage Village would sell Steeple Hats, so no point of doing it and can't
do it whatsoever. That's why you should have gotten all the money that you needed from Disc
Three, and also the equipment from Daguerreo cost a lot.

Getting Virus and Zombies Stats [KAD15]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Getting Virus On Disc 3 (After getting Hilda Garde 3)
1. Go to Vile Island
2. Pack yourself with a lot Phoenix Downs
3. Save
4. Go into battle, not near the forest
5. Best formation to get is 1 Yan
6. Hope that it inflects Virus Stats on you with their Virus Breathe
7. Revive any fallen Men with Phoenix Downs
8. Choose Remedy to see if truly the Virus Stats is inflicted.
You may want to press L1 to see this screen, while remedy is selected and blinking.
9. If inflicted, Have Zidane use Flee
10. Change People, save, rinse and repeat until satisfied
11. Can't get any AP or Exp
12. Virus can only be removed with a vaccine. Even if you take a rest with 100 at an inn,
it will stay on you, until you use a vaccine on them. This does not apply to places that
intentionally say that your stats have been restored
Getting Zombie On Disc 3 (After getting Hilda Garde 3)
A. Get the best possible armor with the highest defense
B. Really see the point of getting this.
C. Go to the Ifia Tree, have one the Dracomzombie use their Zombie Breathe on you
D. Color change means you have infected
E. Can't get any life, AP, or Exp
F. Now flee from the battle and Save.
*Note*
I have never gotten zombie when I was playing this challenge. I prefer getting Virus.
Overall, Virus is better than Zombie, there is no side-effects, only support. Unless
you're trying to learn a new ability.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Stealing For Thievery [KAD16]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By far, one of the best moves to powerup in this challenge. It takes time and lots of it.
-Make sure you have Bandit, Auto-Haste, Auto-Potion, Distract, Auto-Regen
-Make sure that the place you�re at is either outside the gates of Linblum from the Business
District or outside of Dali.
-Better for Linblum because you get to steal Phoenix Pinions and Ethers from the Axe Beaks.
Con: you have to have good equipment to stand the heat and Insomnia
-Better for Dali because the items can be stolen very easily, depending if your Speed is high.
Con: only the Python has the pinions and the Carve Spider is useless, unless to steal only
for Thievery.
-Each steal made successfully by Zidane will increase Thievery by 13-16 points of damage.
-Making it that you need to steal over 800 times to reach 9999
-Thievery can only be tested if you got Angel Bless or the Tower on the beginning of disc 3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Killing For Dragons Crest [KAD17]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To me, this move takes less time to powerup, but it can very dangerous if you don't
save often and are hit with many attacks and then you die, of course. So make sure
you save often when powering up Dragon Crest.
To able to do this you must:
-Acquire Zombie/Virus for the people that are planned to kill the Dragon
-You may have them dead if they are not valuable in the Fight
-Have the Holy Lance/Kain's Lance to see how much he deals so far. (optional)
-Have the Gold Chocobo/Airship to get to Daguerreo
-Reflect Ring or Auto-Reflect on the Dragon Killers, Distract and Anti-Body is also good
-Optional: Get Quina to eat a Zombie Whale to learn Lvl5 Death. Must have Vigilance.
This will make it more easier then killing the Dragon by damage.
Main Task: After doing the things said above. Move on to the next step: To kill as many
Grand Dragon, as it takes to make Dragon Crest deal 9999. I don't know how much to kill,
but you should check often, after every hour or so.
To check Dragon Crest:
Use Dragon Crest, if you stole one from Ark. There means that you are either on end of
Disc 3 or 4. You've already got the Skill, use it.
OR, Save, go to Terra then Bran Bal to buy one. Test it there only. Restart when you want
to go back on the world map on the game save before. Meaning that you don't want to face
the three forced battles, Kuja, and Garland, yet.
Summarization:
- Make sure Freya is in your party when you enter Bran Bal
- Buy a Holy Lance and Try it out to see how much it does on enemies there.
- After testing restart, and do what you were doing before Dragon Crest should be increased
after you have gotten Hilda Garde 3, you could do some with the Ironite but that's not
recommended
*Opinion*- I think its better to steal and kill Grand Dragon at the same time, this will
increase the ablility go further into the game wihout getting sleepy. Killing 2 birds with
one stone.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Easier Way of Learning Abilities on Disc 3 [KAD18]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A. You must have access to go to Oeilvert
B. Must be on disk 3
C. Airship or Part of the Expedition of Getting the Gulug Stone
This is simple, all you need is some patience, if you really want to learn the abilities so
that you may not have to equip them the character. This is handy in cases if the equipment
is limited like: Reflect Ring, Rebirth Ring, etc...
(Optional) Equip Auto-Haste, Auto-Life, Distract, Ability Up or Gamble Defense. Must have
Jelly for everyone. Do not attempt to anything else, like other moves not mentioned below:
A. Buy a lot Soft (99 softs Preferred) and put it as the first of your item list
B. Go inside Oeilvert until you're in the screen with the Moogle
C. Save first
D. Walk around in circles to encounter an enemy
E. If it�s a Ogre or two Ogre quickly flee, if it�s a Epitaphs use a soft on it.
F. That the way to gain easy APs. Rinse and Repeat, and always remember to Save ever so often.
G. Once your done, continue what you will.
Buy more Softs if your stock goes low, switch with other people that you want to give
abilities to. Use the Chocobo to get near the Airship, Once at the Airship switch with others
that you want them to learn abilities, Hop on back onto the Chocobo and go back to Oeilvert.
Repeat these steps. Sooner or later, you'll catch on.

Personal Comments from the Author [KAD19]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Most of these stuff that I have wrote are tested, but when I did it, I didn't have any
Blue Magics for Quina until the end of Disc 3. So its possible to add my knowledge to
your already started level one game, nothing is impossible in the game world. The difficult
points Escape from Alexandria, Ifia Tree forced battles, and Meltigemini are based on what
I have experienced only. So I added the new knowledge from my good friend on the board for
some good advice, although I have passed the point in which they were talking about and
I never got the easy satisfaction. At the end I sill beated Necron though, I feel so
proud of myself, but you can do it too, unless you�re not a full time gamer like most of
the experts, including myself, on the message boards, that share our knowledge, sometimes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FAQs [KAD20]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Wow, you finally added a FAQ section, KADFC," you might say, 'Are you mad?'
I know, I know, this was suppose to be a Walkthough/FAQ. I had the walkthrough, but
nothing at all for FAQ. You know why? Because very few people are not willing to take
this challenge. Recently, I've heard people asked these questions on the boards related
to this challenge, so I decided to use them as part of this section. AND I personally
added a few parts my self.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Is this challenge possible?
A: Yes, very possible. You should read the beginning of this FAQ. I mean the very top,
in in caps.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why is this challenge possible?
A: Why isn't it possible? Have you tried it yet? If you have and got stuck on a certain
part in the game, use this guide to guide to finishing the rest of it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Doesn't Bosses give Experience Points, making you gain level?
A: No, they only give APs. Meaning that you can learn abilities from them and not gain
a single level. If you don't believe me, see for yourself, test it out. AND if you
still don't believe me, read one of those guide books made by Prima or BradyGames.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: How do get gils if you keep on fleeing from random battles?
A: You can use my WOM (Ways of obtaining money) section. It will basically tell you how
to get more gils for your equipment. To summarize it, you steal ethers from random
encounters and then you flee. You then sell those Ethers for gils.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: By staying at level one, how are you suppose to beat the bosses, aren't you too
weak to kill them?
A: In the early of the game, you can use Magic to kill your opponent. Then you can use
dead peppers and your abilities to guide you in the middle. Near the end when things
get really tough, you can use Thievery, Dragon Crest, and Limit Glove. All three
can do 9999 worth of damage. Note that Limit Glove can also be obtained early in the
game to kill weak bosses with only one hit. Most of the bosses in the beginning are
considered weak bosses. You may dispute over this, but once Limit Glove comes... Wwam!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What about the 3 Force Battles at Pandemonia? Don't they give Experience points as well?
A: Correct, they are the only ones that give Experience points, and you can't destroy
them or not take the exp that they give out. So the only way you can go throught those
battles is by dividing the exp up. Give exp to those who don't want to use for the final
fight and the other fights after this one. Kill the ones that you're going to use, making
sure that they won't get any exp on the way out. Theses 3 Mini-Bosses aren't like
your regular random battles. They are immune to everything and I mean everything. If you
don't believe me, just try it yourself. For those who wants to find a way, stop, you'll
never suceed. Getting into Virus form won't help because Zidane and everyone else gets
healed before ever battle starts. Zombie also won't help. This heal even get Virus away,
dam it must be strong. You can try this, get Virus on Zidane and go sleep at a inn, any
inn. The outcome is that the Virus will still be there. Yet the one in Pandemonium will
remove it. What a nice thing to learn from this game. For the second boss though, you
can have Abadon cast Virus fly on you, if you can stay alive that is, you can make it
through that one without getting EXP. But then, you'll need to get pass the
Dagger/Garnet fight without having to lose the battle and sticking to the plan.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I thought everyone needs to be at level one for it to be a level one game?
A: Well, if you can't settle with the best, you'll going have to settle with you can
get. That in case, is why you should only require one full party at level one. If you
want to shark it and make it a true level one game, go ahead. It will have the same
difficulty because you aren't using the ones that have leveled up anyways.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can you learn abilities in this challenge?
A: I encourage you to do so and that is the whole strong point of this challenge. You can
even try to learn every single ability that you can get your hand onto. The sad part
is that you won't be able to equip them, or no more than 2 because you don't have
enought Ability Crystal, seeing that you're apart of the level one game. So you can
probably equip one really good one, like Auto-Life, and that will be it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: In difficulty wise, how does this challenge compare to Excalibur 2, No Equipment Game,
and the Attack and Item Only Challenge?
A: Personally for me, I think this challenge is as hard as Excalibur 2. The other two
No Equipment and Attack and Item Only, doesn't require as much skill and luck compared
to the level one game. The only challenge I haven't done is the Attack and Item Only,
the rest I've done. Don't take my word on it, but I believe this could possibly the
hardest challenge for FFIX. Being that Ozma at level one require the same concept as
this one. Ozma at level one means you have to beat Ozma with a level one party. Level
One game require you to beat Necron with a level one party. Ozma might have a greater
power than Necron, so Ozma at level could well be harder than this challenge.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: How long does it take me to finish this challenge?
A: For me, it took about 40-50 hours. You could do it in less. Since I did powered up
Thievery and Dragon Crest all the way up. Hyprophant seems to have not powered it
up all the way and still managed to beat the game. So that is proof enough. If I wasn't
powering Thievery nor Dragon Crest at all, I think I could beat the game at 30 hours.
But then, how would I kill Kuja and Necron?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why is this called a Low Level Walkthrough/FAQ instead of a Level Game Walkthrough/FAQ?
A: For this one, why don't you ask the people of gamefaqs. I would hope that they could
name this a Level One, but it seems that that everyone there doesn't agree with this
concept. So I'm stuck with this Low Level crap.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why is this so crappy compared to the Ozma Level One FAQ?
A: Well, you can go to hell! Nevermind. I've a good explantion why. It's because most
of this FAQ is based on my memory alone and with help of the people on the FFIX
Message Board. They gave me clue and reminded me what to add for this thing. Hyprophant
on the other hand, probably wrote her FAQ while she was doing the challenge. So she
has a lot of insight of what the challenge meant to her. I wish I could start this
challenge all over again, but I decided to only give one shot for challenge. I rather
move on to other final fantasy game or make one on my own.
Remember my Quote: 'I take challenges and I make challengs. What! You think I'm
crazy? I'll show you CRAZY!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Do you get anything special for doing this challenge?
A: No, unlike the Excalibur 2 challenge, you won't get a new fancy sword or anything
at all. You'll become apart of my Level One Completers list though. So that you can
be knowned throughout the boards. It's currently under construction though. Hopefully
I'll try to get it on, ASAP. I promise.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Is there a certain part that I'm suppose to keep a save for the stats maxing part in
this game?
A: Yes, there is. One before you into Terra at the end of disc 3 and one in the
beginning of disc 4. You should know that, I don't quite have the equipments
needed for you guys at the end of disc 3, not yet anyways. I'll try to work on that
part somemore, if I can find the time and get myself away from doing the challenge
that I'm currently doing. For a little part in the max stats guide, try to exchange
the equipment if you are at the max for that person, that person should get something
new now that will increase some other stats and Freya doesn't have a Author
recommendation because her equipment list is too diversed. She can become whoever
she wants to be or at least what the player wants to make with her.

Game Challenges Done by Author [KAD21]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not to brag about my accomplishments or anything. These are the challenges I've done
when I've started to become a true gamer. And I've also listed some of the challenges
that I'm wanted to do and complete.
Final Fantasy IX: Level One Game
No Equipment Game
Excalibur II
Perfect Save Without Maxing Stats
Final Fantasy VIII: No Junction Game
ODINS Challenge (One Day In No Saves
Perfect Game (Maxing out every stats, except for Speed and Luck)
Final Fantasy VII: Initial Equipment with No Materia Challenge
Perfect Game (With Best Materia Combo for everyone, missing one KOTR though)
Final Fantasy X: Perfect Game
Super Marino RPG: ODINS (One Days In No Saves)
Perfect Game
Zelda OOT: Perfect Game
Other Challenge I hope I can complete in the future:
Final Fantasy X: NSG
NSGNCNONS
ODINS (One Days In No Saves)
Final Fantasy X-2: Six Iron Dukes (I got 5 so far, working on 6)
Level One, One, Two Game
ODINS
Final Fantasy IX: Attack and Item Only Game
ODINS (One Day In No Saves)
Zelda OOT: Three Hearts, No Death, Minimum Requirements Game
ODINS (One Days In No Saves)
Zeld MM: Three Days Game (Even better than ODINS)
Super Mario RPG: Level Three Game
Starcraft: Get over 1000 wins (Currently have 700s)
*Note*
If you don't know what ODINS is, it stands for 'One days in No Saves.' Also known as a No Save
Game, except that you have to beat it within 24 hours. The concept of a No Save game doesn't
really explain it's true meaning. You can just leave the system on and go to sleep and by
tomorrow you can play it some more. That isn't a real challenge. ODINS give you the full
name that you should do it. It's a very enduranced base challenge. You must know the game very
well and you must not sleep throughout the whole process, even if you're using a automatic
turbofire controller.

Dingus McGee
Xyphs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks and Credit to (In Alphabetical Order) [KAD23]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I know the first part isn't in the order, but they must be thanked first.
Like to dedicate this to my late father, who didn't always treat me with much love, but
who I really miss to this day. I hoped I could've known him a little bit better.
To my brother and mother who has been with me for the last 17 years, one year out because
I was sent to my home country, which I have no memory off, how ironic.
Gui Ling Chang and Elton Chang
Armik for the words 'If you really have a lot of skill and patience, kill 100 Grand Dragons
and power up Dragon's Crest to 9999, while remaining virused. Also, remember to steal from
the Dragons to power up Thievery.'
Blue Tonberry: for starting me off with the idea that it�s possible to beat the game at
level one. Also reposting some words of Dycedarg and doing this himself. He even asked some
questions that I ought to put into this document and I did. Magic Hammer and the Black Mage
Technique are some of them.
Dycedarg: for the Inspiration of leading me to do this game. Also the inner scope of what
need to know to get pass the Alexadrian Rescue in Disc 2. I give you all the credit of
showing me how to get pass that point quickly. Also some info and things for me to try
during my quest.
Dark Star: words of encouragement and facts to remind me how the game was made to be.
Dingus McGee: for the advice that he gave me when he did his own level one game. I used
some of it but not all of it, since I felt the satisfaction when I did it my own way and
got passed it. Although he couldn't remember most of what he did in the past, he intrigue
me about getting the Robe of Lords so early in the game, I should have done that too but I
didn't, don't know why.
DivineDragoonKain: Reminding me of what I have passed before, the Oak Staff thing and
others as well.
Hyprophant: for reminding me of things that I have forgotten. Also giving me suggestions
about the way I should write this Walkthrough, I just hope its good enough to fit his
satisfactions. To the fact that he is attempting to do this, gives me impression that I'm
not the only one crazy enough to do this. She also placed this my name under her Ozma
Level FAQ, horray.
Junglejim: For showing me a lot of support and encourage me to type more than needed during
these FAQs. I think he typed some FAQ as well.
Jobber2022497: for saying what I needed to hear. So that I could get a contradiction of what
lies of ahead of my journey before I get there.
KADFC: The author, me of course, I typed this thing up and I should get credit for doing it.
I was the first person to finish this challenge anyways. I didn't beat Ozma first though,
I was the one to beat Necron with a Level One Party. Horray for me.
Rebirth Flame 2002: for something. I don't know what because HE KEEPS ON DELETING HIS OWN
MESSAGES, WHAT THE HELL! I have to put your name in here, but don't know what to credit
you with. The only thing that I remember you telling me, is that Ark held the Holy Lance
and the Stats of Aramant at level one. His name now probably is Rebirth Flame 200*.
Split Infinity: For making me explain certain area in more detail. He is, in fact now, one
of the best walkthrough typing peoples that I know. Seriously, he wrote so much for Final
Fantasy X-2, why won't he stop? I don't know.
Theoden: for giving me inside info of what he attempted before. To bring my hopes up and
when I finally tried it, it brought me pounding to the ground, but I learned from why
experiments. I felt satisfying in some ways. Thanx
Ultima13: making the No Equipment Game FAQ and placed my name on the credits page. Horray
and Also to CJayC for the chance of me be able to post my knowledge on GameFaqs. And for
the great Message Board that gives me the power to know stuff that other so called �Game
Magazines� misses out. Extra details of certain secrets and side quests in games are chanted
throughout the boards. A great place to learn every inch of every game, as long as there are
people helping you on your way.
Soon I�ll start writing challenge FAQs/walkthrough for all final fantasy games. This challenge
will be know as ODINS challenge, a challenge that requires one player to beat the game in one
day without ever saving, or rather beat it in one sitting without ever falling asleep in less
than one day. As I revise this FAQs right now, I have already finished this challenge for
FFVIII and have already started writing the FAQs for it.
The last and finally last thing that I want to say. To everyone that went into my topic and told me
it felt/seemed/sensed/looks/believe that this was impossible, for you guys Fuck You!
For everyone that has gave their opinions and advises, I thank you with all my heart.
