Version 1.0 1/22/2000
First edition. Solely an appendix, I will never make any kind of walkthru
for the game, it is simply too easy to need one. I would like to include an
enemy steal/win list, as well as what essences you get from them, though I
will need help from all you who read this. Please don't hesitate to email.
_______
Version 1.1 1/23/2000
WOW. I didn't realize there were so many errors in my faq. Thanks to
Garrett for a lot of (actually 12) corrections and/or additions. Fixed some
info on spell book fields, revised "Weak" equipment, some additions to the
Essence section, and I also added a mini FAQ, because a lot of people emailed
me with the same questions. I've also created an "Unconfirmed Items"
Section, which is basically composed of items people have told me about but
which I have not confirmed. If anyone can confirm their existence, once
again, don't hesitate to email.
_______
Version 1.2 1/24/2000
After many trips to the Rebuilt Final Dungeon, I have finally compiled an
Enemy steal list (it was far easier than I thought it would be). This should
prove extremely helpful to those of you looking for rare items. But please,
I would still love to have a monster compendium, so any email is very much
appreciated. Also, a correction from Ronny Boen fixing the error I had with
the feather received from Wood Claws.
_______
Version 1.3 1/25/2000
Confirmed existence of Pink Tag. Also fixed a glaring error in my "How to
find Sylph" answer. Both come courtesy of Brent. Thanks to Garrett for
correcting a correction from yesterday. Added a couple more Frequently Asked
Questions. Now that I figured out how to get Mog to steal in the Secret
Dungeon, it should not take me long to augment the Final Dungeon Chart. I've
already added some enemies. Once again, I love receiving mail, so keep the
letters coming with questions and corrections. The more I receive, the more
complete this faq becomes.
_______
VERSION 1.4 1/26/2000
This update comes courtesy of Ronny and myself, with a FAQ question added
from Brent. Extra feathers added, more stolen items added, and I've finally
started the equipment stat list, as well as changed the format. Also, Ronny
submitted several stats for equipment, and also an equipment break. I feel
like this faq is really getting somewhere now! Just keep sending stuff in
(thank you Ronny!) and soon enough it will be complete.
_______
VERSION 1.5 1/29/2000
2x Edge confirmed by Jordan. Edited format of some tables. I've been adding
and filling in al over the place, so this is a very miscellaneous update.
_______
VERSION 1.6 2/2/2000
Well, I'm sad to say that incoming assistance has been reduced to nil, so the
little email rush I had is now over. This update is completely courtesy of
me, and is basically only extra additions to equipment stats, and a little
more info for the FAQ section. I'm pretty much finished with the game now,
having gotten to level 99 with 999 energy, and Titan Saddle and Claw to +99.
I am so ridiculously powerful, I can kill Life Keeper by attacking. That
said, I thank everyone who helped make this faq what it is, and I wish
everyone good luck on all their gaming endeavors.
Orlando
_______
VERSION 1.7 3/23/00
I was definitely not planning on updating this, but I recently got a little
help from some people, and I felt the need to clarify some thing I am STILL
receiving email about. And I'd like to take the time to say that if you're
looking for a walkthru, look to some other faqs in www.gamefaqs.com, but if
you're looking for the most comprehensive faq on the net concerning equipment
and stolen items, this is it.
_______
VERSION 1.75 5/11/2000
Added location of the Pink Tag. Now I should finally be done.
_______
VERSION 1.8 and 1.85
Funnily enough, I'm still getting email regularly concerning this game, and
one latest one gave me some extra missing info, courtesy of Gaidin. Now this
faq contains the stats for the Mirage saddle, Chaos Claw, and Cross Claw for
your viewing pleasure.

MAGIC BOOKS
-----------
Every time Chocobo uses a spell book, the amount of castings needed to get to
the next level decreases by 1. After a designated amount of castings, that
elemental will raise in level (spell levels can be viewed from the menu).
Once the spell has reached level 9, the spell will upgrade, and deal around
2x more damage. At level 17, the spells upgrade again, this time dealing 3x
the amount as a first level spell. Level 20 is the maximum level. This only
applies to the first 6 spell books.
The Cantrip, Spell, and MegaSpell books act a little differently. The only
spell that can be immediately casted upon receiving one such book is random,
which randomly picks a spell of that type to cast. Otherwise, every other
spell requires its own corresponding feather before it can be casted. These
spells do not level up. Also, they are much rarer than the other spell books
(especially MegaSpell books).
The 'Magic Up' feather is the only way to increase damage dealt by magic
(besides leveling up, of course).
Fire Book | Casts Fire/Fira/Firaga Magic
The 'Fireball' feather enables a fire magic attack which has a 3x3 field
and can be moved to any location on the screen.
Blizzard Book | Casts Blizzard/Blizzara/Blizzaga Magic
The 'Blizzard Storm' feather enables an ice magic attack which covers a
field resembling a pyramid. The field turns to the direction Chocobo is
facing.
Thunder Book | Casts Thunder/Thundara/Thundaga Magic
The 'Thunder Cross' feather enables a thunder magic attack which allows
Chocobo to hit 3 squares in the direction he is facing and 2 in the
opposite direction and to his left and right.
Aero Book | Casts Aero/Tornado/Hurricane magic
The 'Aero All' feather simply enables a wind magic attack that hits
every enemy on the screen.
Quake Book | Casts Quake/Quake2/Quake3 magic
The 'Quake All' feather simply enables a wind magic attack that hits
every enemy on the screen.
Drain Book | Casts Drain/Drain+/Drain++ magic
The 'Drain Up' feather simply increases the amount of damage dealt by
the Drain spell.
Cantrip Book | Casts the following spells:
Slow – Makes the enemy's AT bar charge up %50 slower
Poison – Poisons the enemy, causing it to lose 1 HP every turn
Sleep – Puts the enemy to sleep, unable to attack, for 6 turns
Mini – Causes the enemy to shrink in size, lowering its defense
Frog – Turns the enemy into a Frog
Confusion – Makes the enemy act in an uncontrolled manner
Silence – Disables an enemy's use of spells
Power UP – Uses a random Cantrip spell without the risk of a falling object
Random – Randomly selects one of these Cantrip spells and casts it on a
random enemy unit (May also backfire and drop something on
Chocobo for damage)
Spell Book | Casts the following spells:
Haste – Makes Chocobo's AT bar fill up twice as fast
Remove – Warps the selected unit to another part of the floor
Gravity – Takes away a percentage of an enemy's HP
Meteorite – A weaker version of meteor, attacks 1 enemy for medium damage
Doom – Kills an enemy instantly
Flare – A medium strength non-elemental attack that hits one enemy
Bio – A medium strength attack that also poisons the enemy
Random – Randomly selects one of these Spell magics and casts it on a
random unit
MegaSpell Book | Casts the following spells:
Meteor – A strong attack that hits every enemy on the screen for heavy damage
Ultima – A strong attack that hits every enemy on the screen for heavy damage

ESSENCES
--------
Essences have two purposes. They can be used as a potion or tonic, or they
have the dual purpose as being able to be combined with Chocobo's claws and
saddles. The first column offers an identical nut, card, or potion
counterpart to the essence, the second column describes the essence's effect
on claws, and the third column tells its effect on saddles.
If you have any questions on what an Essence may do, you can bring it to the
Lamia in Tonberry's Restaurant and she will identify it for you.

CLAWS
-----
Claws are what Chocobo equips to enhance his attack. I would like to get
full base stats on these, as well as the saddles, but I'll need some help.
Don't hesitate to email! The base DUR of supposedly identical claws vary, so
the DUR stats are not included.
Perhaps someone will want to know what each stat means.
ATK – The higher this number the more damage Chocobo can inflict
DUR – Once this number gets to 10, the game will warn you and say, "So-and-so
claw has been damaged". When it gets to 5, the game will again warn
you and say "So-and-so claw will break soon". Once the DUR of the claw
reaches 0, the claw breaks, and you may be rewarded with a feather (to
be discussed in the next section).
Toughness – Whatever number appears here is how many times Chocobo can attack
(even if you miss) before his DUR goes down by 1
LV Limit – The amount of times the weapon can be upgraded (eg. if a King's
claw has a max level of 77, then the highest you can upgrade it is
King+77)
Hit Rate – This number designates the percent that Chocobo will not miss
Critical – This number designates the percent that Chocobo will critical
(attack for double damage)
Below these stats may be some special attributes carried by the weapon. Only
one attribute is inherent in some weapon, but thru combining, more than one
can be on a weapon. Because added elements and status changing abilities are
denoted by icons, you really have to decipher what the icon is by yourself,
though it isn't very difficult.
First column is the Claw Name, followed by ATK, Energy, Toughness, LV Limit,
Hit Rate, and Critical. Special characteristics of the claw (if any) follow.

SADDLES
-------
Saddles are what Chocobo equips to enhance his defense. I would like to get
full base stats on these, as well as the claws, but I'll need some help.
Don't hesitate to email! The base DUR stats vary somewhat from supposedly
identical saddles, so the DUR stats will not be included.
Perhaps someone will want to know what each stat means.
DEF – The higher this number, the lower the damage inflicted on Chocobo
DUR – Works the same way as with claws
Toughness – Whatever number appears here is how many times Chocobo can
receive an attack (even missed attacks) before his DUR goes down
by 1
LV Limit – The amount of times the saddle can be upgraded (eg. if a King's
Saddle has a max level of 77, then the highest you can upgrade it
is King+77)
Dodge – This number designates the percent that Chocobo will dodge an attack
SPDEF – The higher this number, the higher the resistance to special attacks
(magic, breath, etc.)
Below these stats may be some special attributes carried by the saddle. Only
one attribute is inherent in each saddle, but thru combining, more than one
can be on a saddle. Because added resistance to elements and status changing
abilities are denoted by icons, you really have to decipher what the icon is
by yourself, though it isn't very difficult.
First column is the Saddle Name, followed by DEF, Energy, Toughness, LV
Limit, Hit Rate, and Critical. Special characteristics of the saddle (if
any) follow.

COLLARS
-------
Collars must be equipped in order for its special ability to take effect.
They are very rare in the beginning of the game, and even towards the end,
your best bet is to steal them from enemies. Some collars are bad, but some
give you an incredible advantage (Endure, No-Trap, etc.) Email me if you
find others.

FEATHERS
--------
In Chocobo's Dungeon 2, Feathers can be acquired in one of two ways. You can
either do an event in the village, which can get you a few, or the more
prevalent way of breaking your equipment, which is for the next section.
There are 51 total feathers (I think), and here is a list of the ones I own
so far. Email me if you can fill the empty spaces.
There are four different kinds of feathers:
1. Spell enhancing feathers (ie, give greater range to basic spells)
2. Cantrip (a), Spell (b), and MegaSpell (c) feathers
3. Stat boosting feathers
4. Summon feathers
In the list, I denote which are which, and give a short explanation.
A little something about Summon feathers... When you have a summon feather,
you have the ability to literally summon that creature for him or her to
follow you around (simply open up your feather list and press X on the
feather of choice). Every time you summon a creature, 30 points of Energy
are deducted from your total, and you begin to lose Energy at an astronomical
rate every turn. Use the Endure Collar to counter that. If for some reason
your summoned buddy dies during battle, it casts its Summon spell, then its
feather is lost and must be retrieved once again. This doesn't apply to
'Random Summon'.

EQUIPMENT BREAK FEATHER LIST
----------------------------
Breaking Chocobo's equipment is the most prevalent (and only) way to get most
every feather. Basically what has to happen is that Chocobo wears a piece of
equipment in a dungeon, its Durability hits 0, then the piece of equipment
disappears and turns into a feather. There are basically 2 rules to abide by
to make sure Chocobo gets a feather after his equipment breaks.
1) The Claw or Saddle must be at least upgraded to +1 or higher
2) The Claw or Saddle must have been combined at the Village Stove, or a
stove in the dungeon. If the item is in blue text in Chocobo's inventory, it
has been combined.
Almost every Claw and Saddle have 2 feathers to give after they have been
broken. In almost every case, if the equipment is between levels +1 and +5,
Chocobo will receive one feather, and if the piece of equipment is between +6
and +9, Chocobo will receive another, more rare feather.
If Chocobo already has the feather that will be given to him when his
equipment breaks, the old feather disappears and is replaced by the new
feather. Chocobo cannot store more than one of the same feather. For
example, say Chocobo already has a Quake All feather in his inventory. He
has a Digging Claw +1 equipped, and it breaks. Chocobo will receive another
Quake All feather, but the one he had will have disappeared.

REBUILT FINAL DUNGEON STEAL LIST
--------------------------------
*Note*: Look at the Frequently Asked Questions to find out how to get Mog to
steal.
The Final Dungeon is probably the best place in the entire game to stock up.
Mog's special ability is to steal items from an enemy, and because you are
directly controlling him, you may steal as many times as you want. Not only
does that make his Dungeon very easy (you can steal Hi-Potions in the first
level, X-Potions on the 10th, and LevelUp Nuts on the 18th) but you can steal
VERY powerful items from enemies.
The basics of stealing go as so. Each enemy has 4 items from which to steal,
and these items never run out. Some are rarer than others, but to
differentiate between the rare and common ones for every enemy is too much
work for not enough useful information. As a general rule, Tonics, Cards,
and Nuts are far more common than Claws, Saddles, and Collars. So all this
list does is whenever a new enemy is encountered on a level, I indicate the
first level the monster shows up, the actual monster, and the four items
which can be stolen. Many times, what can be stolen is also dropped by the
enemy, so dropped items will not be included, though if anyone wants me to
include them (or supply them), I will. :)
One last thing... if you don't know by now, enemies can level up by either
killing another enemy, or by being hit with a LevelUp Nut, Level Seed, or
Polish Cards (they can also level down from a LevelDown Nut, or a Dull Card).
Every enemy has three forms, by the way. My point is that though only these
enemies exist in the final dungeon, many of them can be leveled up, and
sometimes the leveled up form gives even rarer and more powerful items than
the weaker version. If I have the data for the leveled up (or leveled down)
enemy, I include it right below (or above) the weaker monster that actually
appears in the dungeon. The leveled up monster will not have a floor number
next to it. There are obvious holes in this list, I ask once again for any
outside assistance. My mailbox is always open. If this list grows large
enough, I may be able to encompass the Secret Dungeon, and dropped items and
HP as well. Hey, it's got to start somewhere!

TIPS: Before you go to steal multiple times from an enemy, it's a good idea
to use a Lost-Child Card, Amnesia Tonic, or Slow Card if that's all you have.
In the first level, find a Wood Eyes, and steal until you find a Lost-Child
Card. Kick it at him, than steal Hi-Potions until your inventory is full.
That'll make the first 10 levels REALLY easy.
Follow that up by stealing all the X-Potions you can from King
Behemoths on the 10th floor. That should hold you well until you face
Vampires in on the 18th floor. Trap one in the corner, and steal all the
LevelUp Nuts and Level Seeds and use them all. Level 30 is plenty to go
through the rest of the dungeon, but you may want to level up even more if
you are planning to stock up on a lot of items. Trust me, there is no need
to go past level 60, not even Glass Goth's special attack takes away more
than 1 after that.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
--------------------------
1) What am I supposed to do with the drunk Malboro?
Repeatedly speak to the Malboro. After a bit, he will insist that you
use a Thunder Book on him. Continue to hit him with Thunder Books, and after
7 castings, Malboro will reveal his true form. It is actually Ramuh, the
Summon Monster, who stumbled onto a Morph trap and couldn't transform back!
He will then give you his feather.
2) What am I supposed to give Gobly to satisfy his girlfriend?
Gobly needs a gift to give Gobbie, his girlfriend, so she will like him
again. Just speak to him when you have a Summon Stone in your inventory, and
he will give you 500 gil for selling it.
3) Tonberry wants to make a special dish for the two goblins. What do I
give him?
He's asking for either an Octopus Essence or a Worm Essence. Octopus
Essences can be bought on the 10th floor of Cid's Tower, or extracted from an
Octopus in the Sea Floor Dungeon. Worm Essences can be extracted from the
Worm crawling around the forest.
4) Where do I find Sylph?
Before you are able to find Sylph, you must have died at least once.
Once you have filled that prerequisite, treasures will start randomly
appearing on the beach in the village, containing treasures that were in your
inventory when you died. After you retrieve about 3 or 4 treasures, Sylph
will appear and give you her feather.
5) What are the rebuilt and secret dungeons? Where are they? When can I
enter them?
When you start off the game, there are 5 Dungeons you must go through.
Once you finish the last one and Defeat Glass Goth Z, finish watching the
credits and then Shiroma will tell you about the "Rebuilt Dungeons".
Basically, 4 Dungeons have been "rebuilt", the Sea Floor Dungeon, Cid's
Tower, Snow Mountain, and the Final Dungeon. Each can be entered whenever
you desire, and they can still be entered even after you complete them.
There is also a Secret Dungeon that Shiroma talks about. This Secret Dungeon
is in the top-right corner of Chubby Chocobo's shop (where the shortcuts
originally were). You may go in the Secret Dungeon with Chocobo and 1 other
follower, who you get to choose.
6) How do I get Mog to steal while he's with me in the Secret Dungeon?
First off, YOU, the player, cannot manually get Mog to steal. He may
only steal when he is controlled by the computer. Rather than attacking, Mog
will steal. That said, for some reason, Mog steals far more often when there
are very few items in your inventory, and you have a large capacity. Try
going in with at least a capacity of 60 and only the bare essentials: Claw,
Saddle, Collar, Teleport Tag, maybe a spell book or two, and an X-Potion.
You'll find that Mog will steal much more often.
7) How can I easily raise Chocobo's Max HP?
Normally, the only way to raise Chocobo's max HP is by feeding him Life
Nuts or Creature Essences, both of which took a long time to obtain. Thanks
to Brent, however, there is a way to bypass that tedious method. Once you
have beaten the game and think you think you are fit enough to delve very
deep into the Secret Dungeon, make it to level 28 or 29. There, you will
find Demi-Liches who will have a special attack that suck an experience
level. Every time Chocobo loses a level, his stats go down, but his Max HP
remains. Seeing as Chocobo gains 6 max HP every level, it saves a lot of
time versus the other method! You might not want to lower Chocobo's level
too drastically, because both Chocobo and his partner will be affected.
8) Where do you find the Omega Essence?
The Omega Essence is gotten from the enemy Omega on the 24th floor of
the Secret Dungeon.
9) How do I beat Omega and get his Essence??
Under normal circumstances, you would never need to beat such a
difficult enemy, but retrieving its essence is vital to making the best
equipment in the game. Be Prepared: Bring 6-8 Odin or Bahamut Stones, 1
Carbuncle Stone, a Haste Potion or Spell, a few Identify cards, and a whole
lot of empty bottles. After all, he has 8000 HP. When you confront Omega,
start by using Haste on yourself, and follow up with the Carbuncle Stone.
From then on, it gets much easier. Use your Summon Stones to whittle away at
his HP, keeping an eye on it with your identify cards, until it gets below
100. From then on, keep kicking those empty bottles, and the Omega Essence
is yours.
10) How do I defeat Doom?
Well, let me start off by saying that there is no such enemy "Doom".
That is the reaper character that randomly appears on Dungeon floors to sell
items. The actual name of the enemy is Store Keeper, and his leveled up
versions are Loot Keeper and Life Keeper. Now that that's out of the way,
let me tell you defeating any three incarnations of "Doom" is completely not
worth it. You'll end up wasting precious Odin and Bahamut Stones, for measly
experience if you are on a high level. Still, if you insist on defeating any
three of those enemies, here goes:
Store Keeper – The easiest of the three. 3 or 4 Odin or Bahamut Stones
should do the trick if you are on a high level (around 70). You may need
more if your level is lower. He only has 3200 energy.
Loot Keeper – The Loot Keeper has 32,000 HP, which is a huge jump from
the Store Keeper's 3200. It helps if you have armor with high defense, a
Haste Tonic/Spell, and a Carbuncle Stone. Better yet, don't even bother.
Life Keeper – With 32,000 HP, he has the same amount of energy as the
Loot Keeper, only with far higher attack and defense. Amounting 32+ Odin or
Bahamut Stones is almost impossible without hours of work. I simply don't
see why anyone would want to even attempt it for miserable experience
(10,000). If you need to defeat a difficult enemy, fight Omega (Question 6).
It is much more rewarding.
UPDATE: I have been able to beat the Life Keeper, very easily in fact. To
save trouble for those who would like to fully "complete" the game, there are
two thing that are vital in this fight. The ability to defend against his
prodigious attacks, and to be able to attack hard despite his near-
impenetrable defenses. The only armor or claw capable of standing to the
Life Keeper is the Titan Armor, upgraded to about +50 or more. I myself have
gotten both to +99, and the task is ridiculously easy now, with Life Keeper
taking away more than 1 only on a critical, and me taking away 200 with each
attack.
11) How do I get the Energy UP feather?
If you are trying to complete your collection of feathers in Chocobo's
Dungeon 2, you may run into a problem. Every single feather on the list can
be obtained from breaking various equipment, with one exception. The only
feather that cannot be obtained by that method is the Energy UP feather,
which is quite a useful feather. Anyway, the only way to get one is by
beating the Final Dungeon. After the Dungeon, Chocobo will receive a Random
stat-boosting feather. Simply save it before the final battle, then reset
the game until he gets the Energy UP feather. (For reference: completing the
Sea Floor Dungeon will net you a spell-enhancing feather, finishing Cid's
Tower gets you a Cantrip, Spell, or MegaSpell feather, and finishing Snow
Mountain with Kuz gives you a random Summon feather).
12) What is the point of the Tree of Life?
I have come to the conclusion that whatever the hell IS the point to
the Tree of Life, it is most certainly not worth it. All I have received is
an incessant supply of nuts, some useful, but for the most part not worth the
feather it took to get them. Some people told me that you get a feather or
two, though I have not found a way to prove that. I myself fed the Tree
countless times, only to have reached the point where Gotton and his friend
change their dialogue. After many feathers, Gotton says that the tree
doesn't need much more, and after many more feathers, he replies to you that
the tree has had enough, and the Tree now has apples or something growing on
it. However, despite that, I finished the Secret Dungeon with no
reciprocation whatsoever.
13) Where, oh where, do I find the Pink Tag?
One of my contributors originally told me that the final form of the
Lamia enemy dropped it, and they can be found in the Sea Floor Dungeon when
you have Shiroma. However, I have never been able to confirm that. The only </pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
place I was able to find a Pink Tag was after Omega dropped it when I beat
him. So I can say with complete certainty that there is a chance Omega will
drop it when you defeat him.
