Final Fantasy V was first released back in 1992 for the Super Nintendo, I first
experienced it's beauty in 1998 on my PC thanks to Vimm and RPGe. It was the
second RPG I ever played (After FFVI) and it's always held a special place in
my heart as one of the best. I never played the PSX version so after hearing
about the GBA port English version with extra content I just had to have it.
Seeing as there were no FAQ's written I decided I'd  write my own.
This is my first ever FAQ so it wont be anything special and the layout will
probably suck, but if you have any comments, layout suggestions, suggestions
for new sections, flames, notice anything missing, want to correct my spelling
and grammar or want to ask for my children, feel free to send your emails to:

                  =============================
                       4.a) WORLD ONE
                  =============================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          METEORITE AT TYCOON
Items: Phoenix Down
New Monsters: Goblin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After watching a much cooler intro than the one in the SNES version, press any
button and select New Game from the menu. The scene switches to a castle and
you'll see Princess Lenna and King Tycoon. After some dialogue the king leaves
on a miniature dragon and we're treated to shots of some of the games other
characters before taking control of Bartz. Head west and up to the meteorite.

In this area follow the path (jumping of Boko as you go) until you spot two
goblins carrying off Lenna. Bartz will jump in and engage them in combat,
killing them in a single hit. After a bit more dialogue, during which you meet
the Old Man, aka Galuf, and renaming your character, you regain control of
Bartz. Grab the Phoenix Down from the hidden south east path and leave the area
the same way you came in.

Head west and north between the mountains and you'll leave the world map and be
thrown off your chocobo. Head north along the collapsing ground, fighting off
two groups of goblins and grabbing Lenna and Galuf before fleeing north to
another area. After a bit more dialogue, head north into the cave.

Note: Lenna joins the party equipped with a Knife. This is the only one of this
item in the game.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          PIRATE HIDEOUT
Items: Leather Cap
New Monsters: Steel Bat, Devil Crab, Stropper
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Follow the path north and Bartz will point out a healing spring to the west,
move into the next room, grab the Leather Cap from the chest and push the
button to the right of the door to continue onwards. In the next area you'll be
shown a ship without sails, just keep following the path to the pirate hideout.
You can't go anywhere here so just hop on the boat and get your capture over
with by trying to use the steering wheel.

When you get control of the boat, sail north and you'll be asked if you want to
be taken to the wind shrine. Say no if you want to visit the nearby town or
skip ahead in this walkthrough. Sail north east for a bit and you'll see the
town of Tule, so head inside.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          TOWN OF TULE
Items: Potion, Tent, Phoenix Down, Leather Shoes, 150 gil, Tent, Phoenix Down,
      Potion, 100 gil, Ether, Leather Shoes
New Monsters: Killer Bee, Nutkin, Stray Cat (outside Tule)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find the greenhorn's club, where the rpg newbies can learn the
basics, item, weapon, armor and magic shops, an inn, a pub and a house
belonging to Zok.

You can find a Potion in the barrel closest to the bridge by Zok's house and a
Tent in the box to the left of it. If you cross the bridge and go west you'll
find a path leading to a bush that holds a Phoenix Down and a box containing
some Leather Shoes around the other side of the house. You'll also find a
barrel containing 150 gil beside the Inn. Inside the greenhorn's club you'll
find a Tent, Phoenix Down, Potion and 100 gil on the first floor with an Ether
in a chest down a secret passage on the west wall. There's a pair of Leather
Shoes in a trapped chest on the second floor. Inside the pub is a piano you can
play to improve your skill (this is a good thing) and on the second floor
you'll see a scene with Faris. When you're done, get back on your ship and
sail north east to the wind shrine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          WIND SHRINE
Items: Potion x5, Tent, Leather Cap, Broadsword, Staff
New Monsters: Black Goblin, White Serpent, Moldwynd, Mani Wizard,
             Wing Raptor (Boss)
New Jobs: Knight, Monk, Thief, Black Mage, White Mage, Blue Mage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: The Black Goblins here are the only enemies you can get Leather Shoes
from.

There's a healing urn in the southwest room and the guy next to it will give
you 5 Potions. Grab these and head up the stairs. Take the Tent from the chest
on the western side of the room and enter the central door to find a
consecrated circle that will let you save and use a Tent or Cottage. Head out
the south door and up the eastern stairs to find a Leather Cap then head back
down and up the western stairs. There's a secret passage in the room just below
the western door so you don't need to walk all the way round. Take the
Broadsword from the chest inside the west room and attack the creature guarding
the staircase.

*******************************************************************************
* Wing Raptor        * Level: 1  * HP: 250   * Drops: Phoenix down            *
*                    * Rare Steal: Nothing      * Common Steal: Potion        *
* Wing Raptor        * Level: 2  * --------- * ------------------------------ *
* (Closed wings)     * ------------------------ * --------------------------- *
*******************************************************************************
Comments: All you can do is attack, so keep doing that till it dies. Don't hit
it when it folds its wings over (If it even survives that long) as it will
counter with a claw attack.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Move up the stairs it was guarding and head clockwise around the next room,
heading down the secret passage in the south east corner for a Staff. On the
top floor you'll watch a short sequence then gain the jobs; Knight, Monk,
Thief, Black Mage, White Mage and Blue Mage. Assign your team some jobs and use
the teleporter to the north.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          KEY FOR THE CANAL
Magic: Vampire (Blue, Steel Bat), Goblin Punch (Blue, Goblin),
      Goblin Punch (Blue, Black Goblin), Aero (Blue, Moldwynd)
Items: Canal Key (Rare item), Potion x8, Tent, Ether, 300 gil
New Enemies: Gatling, Big Horn, Bandersnatch (Strip of land above Torna Canal)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sail back to Tule and enter Zok's house (The big one at the north end of town)
for a story sequence in which you'll be given the canal key, you may also want
to buy some new magic and equipment for your new jobs as they can't all equip
the same types of weapons.
Before heading to the Canal, head back to the pirate hideout and talk to one of
the pirates wandering around for 8 Potions. You'll need to press the button in
the south west corner to get the Tent, Ether and 300 gil down the northwestern
passage, you'll also find Boko resting in the room to the northeast.
You can learn the Blue magic 'Vampire' from the steel bats here. For those of
you who don't know, blue magic is learnt by having a monster cast the spell on
you while you're a blue mage or have the learning ability then winning the
battle. After you're done here, head back to your ship and sail north to the
Torna Canal, though you may want to revisit the wind shrine and learn the blue
magic 'Goblin Punch' and 'Aero' from the Black Goblin and Moldwynd
respectively.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          TORNA CANAL
New Monsters: Sucker, Octokraken (BOTH MISSABLE), Karlabos (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head over to the big door and Bartz will open it with Zok's key. For some
strange reason (Someone at Squaresoft enjoys tentacle rape?) the enemies here
will only attack Lenna and Faris, stopping altogether if they're both dead so
you may want to move them to the back row until the boss to make the fights a
bit easier. After following the canal east, it turns south and you'll be
attacked by Karlabos.

*******************************************************************************
* Karlabos           * Level: 5  * HP: 650   * Drops: Tent                    *
*                    * Rare Steal: Nothing      * Common Steal: Potion        *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to Lightning |
L-------------------------|
Comments: Karlabos has two moves to watch out for; feeler, which damages and
paralyzes one of your partyl members and tail screw, which reduces a persons
health to single digits.

A group of black mages will kill him with 5 casts of thunder.
If you're level 5, Goblin punch will do about 240 damage to him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the events following combat, you'll end up in the ship graveyard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          SHIP GRAVEYARD
Items: Flail, Tent, 990 gil, Phoenix Down, Potion, World Map, Antidote,
      Antidote, Phoenix Down
New Monsters: Skeleton, Calcruthi, Undead Husk, Mindflusher, Siren (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Move south along the first plank to a rock and sit on it for a few moments to
make more rocks appear. Hop along them to find a Flail. Head back north and
inside the first crashed ship. There's nothing in the first room so head
downstairs. Here you'll find a Tent in the central room so grab that before
continuing onwards. Down the next set of stairs you'll find 990 gil in the box
with the skull on the front of it. When you arrive at the two doors, head into
the northern one first, down the stairs and under the walkway to find a Phoenix
Down. In the southern room, just head down the stairs to the next area. Here,
head up the left passage, grab the Potion and continue on. A couple of rooms on
your party will stop to rest and you'll find out the truth about Faris if you
haven't figured it out already. HE'S A SHE (Must be a pretty flat chested
she...). Just keep following the path until you exit the ship.
Follow the wood and rocks south into the next crashed ship, get the World Map
then go down the stairs for two Antidotes and a Phoenix Down . Once you've got
them leave and head east to the next boat where opening the chest will cause it
to rise out of the water. Continuing north will throw you into a boss fight.

*******************************************************************************
* Siren              * Level: 2  * HP: 900   * Drops: Bronze Armor            *
*                    * Rare Steal: Nothing      * Common Steal: Nothing       *
* Siren              * --------- * --------- * Drops: Bronze Shield           *
* (when undead)      * ------------------------------------------------------ *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to fire (When undead) | Absorbs Poison (When undead) |
L----------------------------------|------------------------------|
Comments: Siren can cast thunder and blizzard on your party, along with sleep
and slow while casting haste and protect on herself. She also has quite high
magic defense in her normal form. During the fight she will become one of the
undead, where her defense rises and she uses a pretty painful attack called
Venomous Clasp, however, she loses her magic defense and can be hurt with
restorative magic like cure.


A group of Monks with !black should take it down without too much trouble.
If you're playing an LLG and have some level 2 characters, Goblin punch should
hit for about 240 damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, head north onto the world map. There, venture south east to
the town of Carwen.

If you want a bit of easy ABP, there are three squares of plains just north
west of Carwen in which you'll fight Garula. This creature doesn't attack you
and runs away after a short while, awarding you with 1 ABP per fight.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          TOWN OF CARWEN
Items: Antidote, Frost Rod, 1000 gil
New Monsters: Tatou, Garula (Outside Carwen)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find an item, armor, weapons and magic shops, pub and inn.

You can obtain an Antidote from one of the barrels lined up near the port and a
Frost Rod from the hidden passage at the south end of the port (Between two
rows of crates). You'll also find 1000 gil in the secret passage in the pub.
Make sure to play the piano there then talk to the woman just south of the pub
and the guy upstairs who saw the wind drake. Leave the town and head north east
to North Mountain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          NORTH MOUNTAIN
Magic: Flash (Blue, Headstone [Needs an Ether]), Aero (Blue, Magissa)
Items: Phoenix Down, Golden Needle, Mythril Helmet
New Monsters: Rock Slug, Gaelicat, Cockatrice, Headstone, Magissa (Boss),
             Forza (Boss, MISSABLE)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Apart from rare steals later on, stealing from Headstones is the only way
to get enough Silver Specs for your whole party.

Move north and enter the cave. Follow the path south for a Phoenix Down then
back north past the entrance. Keep going south past the exit for a Golden
Needle, then head back and through the exit. Keep following the path and make
sure to avoid the purple flowers that grow outside until you reach a savepoint.
Head outside and west and you'll be thrown into another boss battle.

*******************************************************************************
* Magissa            * Level: 8  * HP: 650   * Drops: Whip                    *
*                    * Rare Steal: Nothing      * Common Steal: Nothing       *
*******************************************************************************
* Forza              * Level: 8  * HP: 850   * Drops: Power Drink             *
*                    * Rare Steal: Nothing      * Common Steal: Nothing       *
*******************************************************************************
Comments: Lenna begins this fight poisoned so use a antidote on her ASAP. This
boss will hit you with blizzard, fire, thunder and aero spells and will
occasionally cast drain which can hurt and drag out the fight. After dropping
below half health she will summon Forza to help.

Note: Forza does not appear if you kill Magissa too fast. If you want the
bestiary entry DO NOT KILL MAGISSA BEFORE SHE SUMMONS HIM!

Faris and Lenna as Monks with !White and Bartz and Galuf as Monks with !Black
makes this battle a cinch. Use poisona on Lenna, then Silence Magissa. Attack
her untill she summons Forza then put him to sleep with !black and finish of
Magissa before killing him. If you don't want to wake him just use your
black magic.
At level 8, Goblin punch will do 500+ Damage to both of them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll get the Mythril Helm that you saw before the fight, though there won't
be any text to actually let you know about it.

Continue along the path and you'll find Hiryuu (the dragon).

Once on the world map, fly back to where you started the game, go north over
the meteorite to enter Castle Tycoon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          CASTLE TYCOON
Items: Hi-Potion, Ether, cottage, Phoenix Down, Elixir, Ether, Maiden's Kiss,
      Phoenix Down, Elixir, Healing Staff, Ashura, Shuriken, Diamond Bell,
      Cottage, Cottage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head into the castle and watch the scene. After you're rudely awakened, leave
your room and get a Hi-Potion from the pot. Head to the room on the opposite
side of the castle and find an Ether, Cottage, Phoenix Down and an Elixir.
Return to the central room and move north into the throne room. The eastern
door here leads to an Ether, Maiden's Kiss, Phoenix Down and an Elixir. Once
you have these items, leave the building. Outside, you'll find the chancellor
in the storehouse to the west that was previously blocked. He'll give you a
Healing Staff (again, no text to let you know) and the chests contain an
Ashura, Shuriken and Diamond Bell.

Edit: Thanks to Elke Waanders for pointing this out. On the right side of
the castle in the outside area, there's a hidden passage behind the lone tree
growing against the castle Turret. It leads to two Cottages.

Once you're done here, leave and fly back towards Carwen. Fly south over the
water and you'll find the town of Walse.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          TOWN OF WALSE
Items: Silver Specs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find an armor, weapon and magic stores and an inn.

Get the Silver Specs from the western house, upgrade your equipment and leave
to go to castle Walse.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          CASTLE WALSE
Magic: Speed (Time, Basement), Pond's Chorus (Blue, Elf Toad [When alone]),
      Shiva (Summon), Moon Flute (Blue, Jackanapes [React: Physical])
Items: Tent, Phoenix down, 490 gil, 1000 gil, 1000 gil, Elven Mantle
New enemies: Elf Toad, Ice Soldier, Shiva (Boss),
            Ice Commander (Boss fight), Jackanapes (Basement)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the first room of the castle, head through the double doors and down the
stairs to find a Tent, Phoenix Down and 490 gil. Return to the first room and
go down the stairs. The secret door beside the guard leads outside the castle
and the stairs down lead to the prison. DON'T FREE LONE WOLF. He just steals
some items later and you don't get anything for it. The south door leads to a
secret area containing the summon Shiva, who you need to defeat to obtain and
the north door leads to the basement. Entering the basement will very likely
get you killed at this point in the game unless you have the thief ability flee
or use the quicksave exploit below.

Note: Thanks to Jigglypuff on the gamefaqs board for this. If you take a few
steps in the basement then quicksave and load it back up, the amount of steps
to your next fight will reset (usually about 5-15) so you wont get attacked.

You can learn the Blue Magic 'Moon Flute' from the enemies Jackanapes in the
basement. They cast it in reaction to physical damage, so the best way to
learn it is have a group of knights with the Two-Handed ability in the back
row so that you actually have a chance of killing it after it hits you with
Moon flute.

In the basement (If you wish to risk it), follow the path until the first
fork, go through the right door to learn Speed and find 2000 gil. Head back and
go through the left door where you'll find an Elven Mantle. Leave after you've
obtained these items.

You can learn the Blue Magic 'Pond's Chorus' from the enemy Elf Toad in Shiva's
tower. they only cast it when alone so kill the other enemies first.

Head through the southern door and you'll be outside the castle. Follow the
water anti-clockwise around the castle and enter the middle of the waterfall to
the north. Head to the top and approach the glowing orb in the center.

| Vulnerable to Fire | Absorbs Ice |
L--------------------|-------------|
Comments: I've received e-mails from S Whyte, Dil, Dan Zanoria, Thodsakan and
Joshua Obritsch with strategies for beating shiva without fire rods. I've taken
bits of their strategies and combined them to come up with a really simple way
of beating Shiva.

Have Bartz and Galuf as knights with the Two-Handed ability in the front row.
Make Lenna and Faris black mages and put them in the back row. Give one of
them the White ability and the other the Blue ability.

As soon as the fight starts, cast the Blue magic Flash. This will render the
Ice commanders pretty much obsolete. Attack shiva with Bartz and Galuf and have
Lenna and Faris cast Fire on her until she dies. By this time she should have
managed to hit both rows with Blizzara so cast cure on your party and kill the
Ice Commanders the same way you killed Shiva.

If you're level 4, Goblin Punch does about 300 damage to the Ice Commanders.
If you're level 11, Goblin punch does about 500 damage to Shiva.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Return to the first room for now and head north to see the king. After the
scene leave the castle and fly north west to the tower.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          TOWER OF WALSE
Items: Silk Robe, Maiden's Kiss, Silver Armlet, Ether
New Enemies: Ricard Mage, Wyvern, Pas de Seul, Garula (Boss)
New Jobs: Summoner, Red Mage, Berserker, Time Mage, Mystic Knight
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The tower is relatively straight forward, you'll find a Silk Robe by climbing
up some vines on the fourth floor, a Maiden's Kiss on the fifth floor and a
Silver Armlet and ether by climbing up the vines on the back wall of floor 8.
On floor 10 you'll encounter a boss.

*******************************************************************************
* Garula             * Level: 3  * HP: 1200  * Drops: Hi-Potion               *
*                    * Rare Steal: Hi-Potion    * Common Steal: Potion        *
*******************************************************************************
Comments: To begin with this looks like an easy battle, it has no magic and
doesn't use any skills, but after its health drops to about a third it begins
to counter all of your attacks with two of its own, often using the rush attack
which damages a character and continues to drain its health at a steady rate,
making it a very damaging enemy.

There are two easy ways to beat this boss. You can either bring a White and
Blue mage, then cast Silence followed by Pond's Chorus to toad it, or you can
bring a freelancer equipped with the Whip to keep it paralyzed. Either way,
just smack it down with physical attacks once you've incapacitated it.

At level 3, Goblin Punch should be doing about 350+ damage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, collect the crystal shards to get the following jobs;
Summoner, Red Mage, Berserker, Time Mage and Mystic Knight. You can't get the
last shard so sit back and watch the death scene. When you regain control,
enter the meteorite and use the warp portal. Walk west from the meteorite  to
Karnak. On the way you'll be able to learn the Blue Magic spell ??? from a Wild
Nakk in the forest.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          KARNAK
New Magic: ??? (Blue, Wild Nack), Transfusion (Blue, Calcruthi [Confuse])
New Enemies: Aegir, Zu, Wild Nakk, Grass Tortoise (Outsie Karnak)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find a magic, armor and weapons store, pub and an inn.

Talk to the weapon or armor salesmen and you'll be arrested. Sit tight in your
cell and you'll eventually be let out. You can't get any items from the castle
so leave and head back to the city. Play the piano at the pub and upgrade your
equipment then head to the fire ship. If you haven't got Shiva yet, now would
be an ideal time to go and defeat her. One fireaga from a Fire Rod and a hit
from a Fira Swordspell will finish the battle. If you go back to the Ship
Graveyard, you can learn the Blue Magic spell 'Transfusion' from the enemy
Calcruthi there if you cast Confuse on it. Back at the fire ship, head forward
to be shoved inside by Cid. Head through the ship until you reach the area
made of metal rather than wood.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          FIRE SHIP
Magic: Self Destruct (Blue, Motor Trap [React: Lightning]),
      Flash (Blue, Crew Dust [when alone])
Items: Mythril Glove, Elixir, Cottage, Elixir, Phoenix Down, Thief's Gloves,
      Green Beret, Moonring blade, Elixir
New Enemies: Crew Dust, Poltergeist, Defeater, Motor Trap, Liquid Flame (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can learn the Blue Magic spell 'Self Destruct' from the enemy Motor Trap.
Motor Traps appear after you win a fight in which the enemy Defeater is the
last enemy you kill.  You'll have to do Thunder damage to a Motor Trap to get
it to cast Self Destruct.
If you didn't learn it earlier, you'll also be able to learn the Blue Magic
spell Flash from the enemy Crew Dust. Crew Dust will only cast Flash when it's
alone, so you'll have to kill all the other monsters with it first.

Head north through the door to get a Mythril Glove then head back out and up
the stairs. Head up the stairs to the west and follow the path to find an
Elixir before returning to the first room.
The stairs to the north lead to a Cottage and the stairs to the east will
reward you with an Elixir. The stairs to the north east lead to an elevator,
using the switch will take you to the next floor. There is a chest to the east
containing a Phoenix Down and a door to the north west with another elevator
to take you down to another area of the first floor. Go up the stairs to the
north west and travel through the air vents you'll end up in a room with seven
exits. Drop down the third vent from the left to get some Thief's Gloves and
return to the room. Enter the right most vent and the vent to your east to
find a Green Beret, use the nearby door to return to the room. Finally, take
the vent second from the left. Go down the stairs and use the switch to find a
Moonring Blade, then back up the stairs and through the door. Ignore the
treadmill and go through the closer door to find a save point.

In the next room, use the only switch you can reach, then both switches to the
west. Use both of the switches against the east wall then the one to the south
west (not the one against the south wall) but make sure to be standing beside
it, not below. Grab the Elixir from the chest and head into the next area where
you'll be thrown into another boss fight.

L-------------------|---------------------|--------------------------|
Comments: This boss has three forms that share HP, but not MP. The human form
will attack and cast blaze on your party, when hit it will cast blaze on your
party and switch form. The hand form will attack and cast ray on members of
your party, a weak attack that can paralyze you and is also immune to magic and
spellswords, when hit it will cast Fira and switch form. The whirlwind form
casts fira on itself to heal, when attacked will cast magnet on your party and
switch form. It's weak to ice magic so blizzara spellsword, blizzara black
magic and frost rods work well here thought the hand form will need a strong
physical attacker to damage.

This boss can be difficult if you don't know it's weakness. Confuse ^_^
Bring a group of four black mages with the !White ability. Cast confuse on him
then just blast away with Blizzara spells, as long as he's confused he wont
counter attack and he wont change form. Easy :)
If you've managed to get to level 19, bring Blue mages instead of black, Goblin
Punch should be hitting for 900+ damage.

For the impatient (read: cheap), breaking two Frost Rods will kill it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before continuing onwards, I heavily recommend you head back to the last save
point and save your game. The next section is timed and you may miss out on
some treasure or not make it in time and want to try again without fighting the
boss over.

Either way, head into the next room and watch things get a little heated. You
now have 10 minutes before everything goes up in smoke. Having a thief would be
a good idea for the ability to flee quickly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          10 MINUTES TO LIVE
Magic: Aero (Blue, Giga [React: Physical]), Aera (Blue, gigas),
      Esuna (White, Chest), Death Claw (Blue, Iron Claw),
      Missile (Blue, Motor Trap [Control])
Items: 2000 gil, Elixir, Shuriken, Ribbon, 2000 gil, Elixir, Elixir, Elven
      Mantle, Elixir, Elixir, Elixir, 2000 gil, Main Gauche, Lightning Scroll,
      Flame Rod [Karnak]
New Monsters: Sergeant, Sorcerer, Cur Nakk, Gigas, Death Claw (Boss)
             ALL MISSABLE, Dhorme Chimera (Desert)
New Jobs: Beastmaster, Geomancer, Ninja
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head north to the prison and grab the 2000 gil from the nearby chest and an
Elixir from the one near the exit, though it is a trapped chest so ignore it if
you don't think you can kill the monsters quickly. Both the chests in the next
room are trapped, the east chest contains a Shuriken and theres a Ribbon in the
western chest. You'll fight a Gigas when opening the eastern chest from whom
you can learn the blue magic 'Aera'. The next two rooms are devoid of items so
rush through them. When you get to the main hall, enter the western door for
two Elixirs in trapped chests and 2000 gil in the chest by the entrance. Go up
the stairs and follow the castle wall to find another trapped chest containing
an Elven Mantle. Return to the main hallway and go through the eastern door to
find three Elixirs in trapped chests and 2000 gil in the one nearest the
entrance. Go up the stairs and follow the wall around for a trapped chest
containing a Main Gauche. Return to the main hall and head south, but before
leaving the room there's the spell Esuna in the chest to the west and a
Lightning Scroll to the east, both of them trapped. Head outside and you'll
enter a boss battle... kinda .

*******************************************************************************
* Iron Claw          * Level: 39 * HP: 900   * Drops: Silver Specs            *
*                    * Rare Steal: Nothing      * Common Steal: Hero Cocktail *
*******************************************************************************
Comments: Kill the Cur Nakks first and the sergeant will morph into Iron Claw.
This guy will get a critical attack every hit and occasionally uses Death Claw
to drop a persons health to single digits and paralyze them.

One target-all Aera spell should kill the Kur Nakks.
Iron Claw has no status immunities or elemental weaknesses, so play with him
as you see fit. I would recommend Pond's Chorus and Aera spells.
If you're level 39 at this point, you don't need a guide. Go away.

Note: If you do kill the sergeant first (For whatever reason), you wont get
Iron Claw in your bestiary and you wont meet him again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle you'll get the following jobs; Beastmaster, Geomancer and
Ninja. If you return to Karnak you can now go up onto the wall, you follow
it west you'll find a barrel containing a Flame Rod. If you want an easier time
learning blue magic, I would advise getting a beastmaster to level 2 to learn
the control command. Once you get it, go back in the Steamship and take control
of a Motor Trap. Have the Motor Trap cast 'Missile' on someone with the
Learning ability.

Head west through the broken wall and south till you reach a desert. If you
want to learn the blue magic 'Aqua Breath' then run around in the sand to
encounter Dhorme Chimera. Beware that this beast will probably kill your party
members in 2-3 hits each. The Aqua breath skill your trying to learn will deal
about 300 damage to your party. If this sounds a bit too much for you
at this point then just walk around the desert to the Library of the Ancients.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          LIBRARY OF THE ANCIENTS
Magic: Transfusion (Blue, Mythril Dragon [Control]), Aera (Blue, Page 32),
      Level 5 Death (Blue, Page 64), Moon Flute (Blue, Page 256),
      Off-Guard (Blue, Page 256 [Control]), Ifrit (Summon),
      Magic Hammer (Blue, Byblos)
Items: Ether, Ninja Suit, Phoneix Down
New Enemies: Silent Bee, Mythril Dragon (Outside the Library), Page 32,
            Page 64, Page 128, Page 256, Ifrit (Boss), Byblos (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Page 64 here has the rare steal Silver Specs, it's one of the only two
places you can get these from. Stealing them in North Mountain is easier.

If you head forward to the next room, you'll find a healing pot and up the
stairs on the roof you'll be able to fight pages 32 and 64 by examining the
book on the right, from these you can learn the blue magics 'Aera' and 'Level 5
Death' respectively. Make sure your blue mage's level is a multiple of 5 and
that someone elses level isn't, otherwise the spell will either miss the mage
or you will all die from it.

Head back to the first room and down into the basement. Walk forward and
examine the bookcase and it will move out of your way, examine the hole to your
left and it will move back over, allowing you to walk through the bookcase to
the other side of the room. Walk through the next bookcase and up the stairs,
causing the first bookcase to move over once again so you can walk along it.
Walk right up to the eastern wall and the bookcase should move back to its
original position, allowing you to move down the stairs and into the northern
end of the room. Examine the bookcase in the corner and it will reveal a
secret passage.

You can learn the Blue Magic spell 'Off-Guard' from the enemy Page 256 in the
next few rooms if you use the Beastmasters's !Control ability.  If you didn't
learn the Blue Magic spell 'Moon Flute' in Walse Castle, then you can learn it
here from a Page 256 as well.

In the next room, move south then east to find a chest containing an Ether.
Head back west and continue south. In the next room, head up the stairs to the
east and examine the bookshelf. You'll find a secret passage leading to Ifrit,
who engages you in combat.

*******************************************************************************
* Ifrit              * Level: 22 * HP: 3000  * Drops: Flame Scroll            *
*                    * Rare Steal: Nothing      * Common Steal: Phoenix Down  *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to Water & Ice | Absorbs Fire | Immune to Poison |
L---------------------------|--------------|------------------|
Comments: Ifrit is a fire elemental, he can cast Blaze on your party, Fire on
a single member and use High Kick to Paralyze one of your party members.

Four black mages, do I have to say more? *hint*Blizzara*hint*
If you're having trouble for some reason, use Stop or break a Frost Rod
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head back to the entrance of the secret passage and enter the door beside the
stairs. The bookshelf will move to block your path but Ifrit will put it in
its place ^_^ Head past and down the stairs to the left for a Ninja Suit.
Return to the room and go into the hole in the bookcase. In the next area
ignore the east path and head west. Head south at the fork for a Phoenix Down
the back up and head east to the next room. Nothing in the next room so move
on. Walk up to the bookcase in your way and it will move over, walk up the
ladder behind it and examine the books and the bookcase will move back over.
Examining the books at the top of the southern ladder will throw you into a
random battle. Head down the passage where the books used to find a save point.
Carry on through the next few rooms to find Mid and get attacked by byblos.

*******************************************************************************
* Byblos             * Level: 24 * HP: 3600  * Drops: Iron Draft              *
*                    * Rare Steal: Dark Matter  * Common Steal: Mallet        *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to Holy & Fire | Absorbs all other elements |
L---------------------------|----------------------------|
Comments: This guy has quite a strong physical attack, so I recommend moving
the whole party into the back row for this one. On top of that he can cast
Magic Hammer to half your MP, Web, which casts slow on a character, confuse,
discord, which halves your level and wind slash, which hits all your party
members for around 200 damage and cast protect on himself. He will also
randomly frog one of your party members to counter magic.

Three Blue Mages with !White and one with !Black. Hit him with death claw then
wait for him to cast Magic Hammer, keeping your health up with Cura. After he
uses it smack him with Fira to end the fight.

Edit: Thanks to Sergio Silva for confirming that Byblos absorbs holy at the
normal damage rate. The weakness in the bestiary seems to be an error.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight, talk to Mid and you'll be taken back upstairs. Exit the temple
and head back to the pub in Karnak to see Cid. After the scene, leave the pub
and go board your new ship.

Check your map and sail to the south eastern most dot on the crescent shaped
island.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          CRESCENT ISLAND
Magic: Goblin Punch (Blue, Sahagin) Mighty March (Song),
      Dark spark (Blue, Black Flame), Flamethrower (Blue, Prototype)
      Self Destruct (Blue, Prototype), Missile (Blue, Prototype)
New Enemies: Sahagin, Thunder Anemone, Sea Ibis, Corbett (Ocean), Doublizard,
            Bio Soldier, Harvester, Black Flame (Crescent island),
            Prototype (two islands southwest of Crescent)
New Jobs: Bard, Ranger
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Apart from rare steals in world three, drops from the harvester is the
only place you can get the Death Sickle.

Here you'll find a weapon, armor and magic store, an inn and a single house.

Upon entering Crescent your ship will sink, stranding you on the island. Back
in town, head into the house and play the piano, talking to the bard to learn
Mighty March. Leave the town and enter the Black Chocobo forest to the south.
Catch the black chocobo and you'll get the Bard and Ranger jobs and be able to
fly around on the chocobo. You can get the blue magic 'Dark Spark' from the
enemies Black Flame. Head back to the library of the ancients to report the
ships loss to Cid.

The next three towns are totally optional and you can skip them if you wish,
just head straight for the shifting desert.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          TOWN OF JACHOL
Items: Shuriken, Tent, Blitz Whip
New Enemies: Bomb, Skull Eater
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find an item, weapon, armor and magic shop, a pub and an inn.

The town is the south western most dot on your map. You'll need to land quite a
distance from the town as the black chocobo can only land in forests, there's
one east of the town.

Upgrade your equipment, rest at the inn and play the piano in the pub. Leave
the town and head back towards your chocobo, entering the cave you see on the
way.

If you want to kill a Skull Eater here for the bestiary, you can use !throw,
!gaia or !control for an easy kill. (It only has 1 health)

Follow the path south and press the switch to move the big rock. Continue down
the path to a row of skull switches, they will randomly disappear leaving just
one switch on the wall witch you need to activate before the others reappear,
this will cause the big rock to move over again. Head back to the open chest
you saw on the way and head east. Examine the chest near the door and flip the
switch to open it then head through into the next area. Head west at the fork
to find a Shuriken and a Tent, then follow the path back east. At the next
fork head east to get a Blitz Whip and then leave the caves and return to your
chocobo.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          TOWN OF ISTORY
Magic: Romeo's Ballad (Song), Toad (Black), Flash (Blue, Ramuh), Ramuh (Summon)
Items: Ramuh
New Enemies: Stone Golem, Mini Dragon, Ramuh (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find an item, armor and magic shop and an inn.

Istory is the north western most dot on your map, there's a big forest to the
east of it. Upgrade and rest as usual, then talk to the sheep near the bard
from behind and it will kick you over the fence. Talk to the bard and he will
teach you Romeo's Ballad. If you run around the square of flowers you'll get
the spell Toad. Leave the town and run around in the forest to the east, you'll
eventually encounter the esper Ramuh.

*******************************************************************************
* Ramuh              * Level: 21 * HP: 4000  * Drops: Ramuh                   *
*                    * Steal: Hi-Potion                                       *
*******************************************************************************
| Absorbs Lightning |
L-------------------|
Comments: Ramuh will cast thunder, thundera and electrocute along with the
blue magic flash throughout the battle so stock up on eye drops. He has no
elemental weakness but his magic defense is super low so a group of black mages
with !White will take him down quite quickly.

Dark Spark, then Level 5 Death will kill him instantly.
The random Death spell from Death Sickles will kill him instantly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          TOWN OF Lix
Magic: Alluring Air (Song)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find an item, weapon, armor and magic shop, an inn and a house.

The town of Lix is located just north of the wind shrine, it's surrounded by
forest. The shops here will sell at half price since it's Bartz's home town,
it's also free to stay at the inn. If you talk to the blonde guy walking around
the center of town you'll have a flashback about your fear of heights. Staying
at the inn will give a scene about Bartz's parents and examining the music box
in his house shows another flashback. Talk to the person in your house after
watching it to learn Alluring Air.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          DESERT OF SHIFTING SANDS
New Enemies: Sandboil, Desert Killer, Sand Bear, Sandworm (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you wanted to skip the optional stuff, here's where you should start reading
again.

Note: Stealing from the Sand Bears here is the only place you can get Javelins.

You'll find the desert west of the library of the ancients. when you try to
cross, you'll be pushed back then Cid and Mid will appear with an idea.
They'll ask if you're ready so say yes to begin a fight with the sandworm.

*******************************************************************************
* Sandworm           * Level: 18 * HP: 3000  * Drops: Nothing                 *
*                    * Rare Steal: Nothing      * Common Steal: Nothing       *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to Water |
L---------------------|
Comments: The sandworm randomly moves between three holes in the ground, make
sure you don't hit an empty hole or it will counter with the Gravity spell,
cutting your health in half. The sandworm will occasionally cast quicksand on
your party which puts a constant drain on their health just like Garulas rush
attack, except this hits your whole party.

Make everyone blue mages and hit it with Aqua Breath, it'll die in one hit.
If you don't have Aqua Breath, throw a couple of Water Scrolls at it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can now walk over the sandworms tunnel to get into the desert. Move to the
end of the path and step south into the shifting sands. Move two steps south to
the next spot, two west and four south to the next spot, one south to the next
spot and then one west and three south to the exit. Back on the world map, head
south to Gohn, the town of ruin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          GOHN, THE TOWN OF RUIN
Magic: Mini (White)
Items: Shuriken, shuriken
New enemies: Cray Claw (Boss), Adamantoise (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head north to the stairs and King Tycoon will appear, chase him around the
ruins for a bit before confronting him and falling down a hole. Head through
the door to the west and you'll get transported to a facility at crescent
island, just before the teleporter is destroyed. Head up the stairs and through
the empty room to hit a switch, causing Cid and Mid to fall through a hole
while opening the door ahead. Ignore that door for now and go into the southern
room.

Edit: Thanks to Tom Barrister for sending in an email saying you don't need to
get the clues in the three rooms to use the switch. Just go down into the left
room and when it asks "Push the switch?", answer "No." It will then ask to
"Pull the switch?".  Answering "Yes" will open the passage allowing you to get
two Shurikens and the spell Mini.

Leave the room and head north past the savepoint to find some ships and watch
a scene. Talk to Cid and you'll be thrown into a fight against Karlabos, uhh I
mean Cray Claw.

*******************************************************************************
* Cray Claw          * Level: 43 * HP: 2000  * Drops: Frost Bow               *
*                    * Rare Steal: Nothing      * Common Steal: Coral Sword   *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to Lightning | Absorbs Water |
L-------------------------|---------------|
Comments: Just like his twin earlier, Cray claw will hit your party members
with Tail screw, reducing their health to single digits. This time however he
has the ability Slimer, which slows your party members and constantly drains
their health. Slimer + Tail screw = Instant death so make sure you've got a
couple of phoenix downs handy.

Black mages, ninjas and mystic knights will be useful here with thundera,
thunder rods and thunder scrolls.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can head to Castle Tycoon and spend the night for a flashback if you wish,
then head back to the ruined city to watch it take off. Head back to where you
got the airship and talk to Cid. Fly to the meteorite near Castle Tycoon and
head inside the get the adamantite, launching you into another boss battle.

*******************************************************************************
* Adamantoise        * Level: 20 * HP: 2000  * Drops: Turtle Shell            *
*                    * Steal: Iron Draft                                      *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to Ice |
L-------------------|
Comments: He only has 2000 health, but his super high defense makes it hard to
damage with physical attacks and his strong attacks will kill your party
members pretty quickly. I recommend the spellsword, black and summon abilities
to end this asap with blizzara and shiva. If you have any frost rods left this
is a good time to use them. If you don't have any rods then move everyone to
the back row as he can hit for 300-400 damage per hit and often hits twice in a
row.

Matthew Gibson and VeghEsther wrote in to mention that it's level 20, so
level 5 Death will kill it instantly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head back to your airbase and give the admantite to Cid and Mid.Once you have
the upgrade, you can select the up arrow when you try to land to attack the
flying ruins. The best place to do this would be near the town of Lix as you
can rest for free at the inn between attacks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          GOHN, THE FLYING RUINS
Magic: Flamethrower (Blue, Flame Thrower), Missile (Blue, Missile Launcher)
New enemies: Flame Thrower, Rocket Launcher (Both have no bestiary entry),
            Soul Cannon (Boss), Launcher (Boss fight)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head up and close in on the ruins, The four battles you fight here are randomly
picked from the following two sets of enemies each time you engage on of the
turrets.

*******************************************************************************
* Flame Thrower x2   * Level: ?? * HP: 2400  * Drops: Speed Shake             *
*                    * Steal:                                                 *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to Lightning |
L-------------------------|
Comments: If you've purchased any flame rings, make sure they're quipped for
this battle. If you managed to afford 4 of them then you can't even get hurt
in this fight. The rest of you will have to fight them normally ;) Summon,
black, spellsword and throw are recommended again for this battle. Just blast
away at them with thunder items/spells/summons/attacks and keep your health up
with white magic. If you learned the blue magic Death Claw it will reduce their
health to single figures and you can kill them in a single hit. You can learn
the blue magic 'flamethrower' from these guys.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*******************************************************************************
* Rocket Launcher x2 * Level: ?? * HP: 2500  * Drops: Iron Draft              *
*                    * Steal:                                                 *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to Lightning |
L-------------------------|
Comments: Almost the same battle as above, except the fire ring doesn't work
here. Their missiles cut your health in half and confuse your party members so
try to make this one quick. Blast them with thunder magic or death claw and
slash. You can learn the blue magic 'Missile' from these if you don't have it
already.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A massive cannon will appear out of the ruins so rest up by flying of the north
of the screen and then engage it.

*******************************************************************************
* Soul Cannon        * Level: 36 * HP: 22500 * Drops: Dark Matter             *
*                    * Rare Steal: Elixer       * Common Steal: Ether         *
*******************************************************************************
* Launcher x2        * Level: 50 * HP: 10800 * Drops: Hi-Potion               *
*                    * Steal: Ether                                           *
*******************************************************************************
| Vulnerable to Lightning (Cannon Only) | Immune to Poison, Wind & Water |
L---------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Comments: Concentrate all your attacks on the two launchers as they're the ones
firing missiles that half your health and cause aging. Level 5 Death will kill
them or you can attack them as normal. Once they're down you'll just have the
main cannon to worry about which has really long delays between its attacks.
It's attack, however, is pretty damaging. Once it charges up it fires its Wave
Cannon at you which does about 200-300 damage to your party and then drains
another 100-150 over time.
A team of black mages with the Blue ability should end it without taking a
single hit from any of the targets.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight, go rest again and then fly into the hole where the cannon used
to be.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          RONKA RUINS
Magic: White Wind (Blue, Enchanted Fan [Control]), Aera (Blue, Enchanted Fan),
      1000 Needles (Blue, Lamia [Control]), Pond's Chorus (Blue, Archeotoad),
      Level 4 Graviga (Blue, Ghidra [On death])
Items: Golden Armor, Elixir, Phoenix Down, Golden Shield, Hi-Potion, Shuriken,
      5000 gil, Ancient Sword, Moonring Blade, Power Armlet, Ether, Cottage
New Enemies: Ra Mage, Ronkan Knight, Stone Mask, Enchanted Fan, Lamia,
            Archeotoad, Hydra, Ghidra !!ALL MISSABLE!!, Archeoavis (Boss)
New Jobs: Samurai, Dragoon, Dancer, Chemist
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leave the ship and head through the first room. In the next room you'll find
invisible floors, these are easily detected by the lack of grass growing along
the edge of it or by using the thief's 'See passages' ability. You can
learn the Blue Magic '1000 needles' from the monster Lamia and the Blue Magic
'White Wind' from the monster Enchanted Fan here, though you need to control
both monsters for their spell.

Head east over the bridges then south over more invisible floor to the chest.
Take the Golden Armor and head south. In the next room head over the invisible
floor to the south west. You'll see four walkways to the east, go up the third
from the left to get an Elixir then the leftmost walkway to continue on.
Ignore the stairs to the north for now and head up the stairs to the east to
save. Leave that room and grab the Phoenix Sown from the chest before heading
down the stairs to the south. Follow this route to the chest containing the
Golden Shield then head back and take the stairs I told you to ignore before.
Keep following this route until you come to a chest containing a Hi-Potion.
Grab it and go down the nearby stairs. You'll come to a room containing five
chests however there's a hidden hole in the middle of the room, so follow the
wall around in a clockwise direction, but don't past the last chest as there's
another hole. You'll find a Shuriken, 5000 gil, Ancient Sword, Moonring Blade
and Power Armlet in the chests.

Once you have the items head back to the chest containing the Hi-Potion and
head south through the door. Follow the path, making sure to avoid the holes,
and take the stairs to your south when you reach a fork to find a save point.
Go back down and through the door to the north. Head down the stairs at the
next fork to find two chests containing an Ether and Cottage then head back up
and go south through the door. Press the switch when you come to it and head
down the stairs to find King Tycoon. Before fighting him run around in this
room until you find a Ghidra, it will cast Level 4 Graviga on your party when
it dies. You'll end up fighting archeoavis.

| Vulnerable to Wind (1) | Immune to Earth |
L------------------------|-----------------|
Comments: This creature starts of at level 21 and vulnerable to wind, it will
occasionally cast Breath Wing on your party.

After you've done enough damage it will go down two levels and lose its
vulnerability while absorbing Ice, you can sometimes tell when this happens
because there will be a pause in the fight even if no ones atb gauges are full.
From now it will cast Frost on your party, wearing a fire ring will negate the
damage from this, so it's a good idea to be wearing those again ;)

After doing some more damage it will rise to level 23 and lose its Ice absorb
in exchange for fire absorb. It will also begin casting Blaze and using Tail,
which blinds the target.

After even more damage, it will raise to level 24 and switch its fire absorb
for lightning and begin casting Lightning.

After it dies it will revive itself (No immune to all elements) and keep
attacking. You didn't think it would be that easy did you? :p It's now level
20 (Level 5 Death for instakill) and can cast Maelstrom, reducing your
entire party to single digit health.
Heal asap. It can also confuse and paralyze your characters so don't start
slacking. Once you've killed it this time it stays dead ^_^

A group of blue mages using your newly acquired 1000 needles works quite well
here.

Got an e-mail from VeghEsther saying that if it's first form is killed with a
counter attack it skips straight to the last form, when I tried this I didn't
even get the last form., it was an instant win :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the grueling battle, head into the next room and watch the scene. You'll
gain the following jobs; Samurai, Dragoon, Dancer and Chemist.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          METEORITES
Magic: Titan (Summon), Aqua Breath (Blue, Manticore)
New enemies: Titan (Boss), Purobolos (Boss), Manticore (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back on the world map, land the ship anywhere for a scene and then head back to
your seabase to find a note from Cid. Fly to the meteorite near Tycoon Castle
and you'll find Cid and Mid inside, then be given the task of getting
adamantite from all the meteorites. Head west to the Karnak meteorite and head
inside. Talk to cid and he'll tell you there's a monster inside, so go inside
and enter combat with titan.

Comments: This guy can hit you for about 200ish damage and will occasionally
use ground shaker to hit your whole party for around 500 damage so you'll need
a lot of healing for this fight. It doesn't help that you're now fighting with
only three people either. As with the last battle, three monks or ninjas with
the white ability are recommended for heavy physical damage and a lot of
healing. You should be able to take him down before he gets more than three
hits in but he'll use Earth Shaker when he dies if you don't kill him with a
counterattack so make sure to keep your health up for that.

VeghEsther comments: Control Gilacats (north mountain) and force them to cast
float on everybody so earthshaker will always miss and the Death Sickles from
harvesters near crescent town, its random doom spells can instant kill this
boss (and not triggeer earth shaker at all).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight you get the esper titan and Cid and Mid head of to the next
metorite. Get in your airship and head east to the meteorite near Walse. Head
inside and talk to Cid where you'll be attacked by a group of enemies.

*******************************************************************************
Comments: Two black mages and a summoner are perfect for this fight. The Puro's
have an amazingly slow attack time so just use level two magic on the whole
group and keep summoning titan and they'll be dead before they get a hit off
Make sure one of your members have white magic in case something goes wrong and
they don't all die at once so you can silence the remaining enemies before
killing them. Otherwise they will cast Araise when they die bringing the others
back to life.

VeghEsther Comments: Titan Summon or any elemental scrolls x3 ninja's can beat
them in 1 turn.

Note: I question my sanity bringing black mages instead of more summoners.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hop back in your ship and fly south east to where the ruins used to be and
enter the last meteorite. Talk to cid then head inside and you'll enter the
next fight.

Comments: Change your two black mages to physical fighters for this fight as
the creature is highly resistant to magic. Keep the summoner casting Titan and
beat him into submission while keeping your own health up as he uses frost and
Aqua Breath.

Edit: VeghEsther has informed me that three shurikens will take this guy down.
You can buy shurikens in the town of Lix.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight head out and back into your airship. Time to leave this world
behind.

If you were putting off doing anything (like getting the time magic Speed from
Walse, getting the Esper Shiva from Walse, letting Lone Wolf out of jail in
Walse (Don't do this :p) or getting the Blue Magic spell Aqua Breath from the
Dhorme Chimera in the desert south of Karnak), then make sure you go do it
now before you leave this world. You'll have another chance to get some spells
if you leave this world before you get them, but it won't be until much later.
You'll never have another change to get Shiva or the songs Alluring Air or
Romeo's Ballad.

Make sure to stock up on elemtal scrolls and rods along with a supply of tents.
You wont be getting them again for a long time.

Comments: Very low health so use a Ninja or blue mage's 1000 needles to knock
it down.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Win or lose, you'll be captured either way. If you won, Open the chest it
leaves behind to get gassed.

When you get control of Galuf, head through the northern door for a save point
and healing spring then return to the first room. Head down the western set of
stairs and just follow the rooms until you find Gilgamesh.

Note: Stealing from the Shell Bears is the only way to get Spears. They're the
weakers spears in the game but if you want every item, grab a few before you
leave.

VeghEsther Comments: Use a monk for its counter attack + guard only and let
counter attack trigger till he runs.

Jimmy Ngo Wrote in to say that a single use of the Blue Magic Missile will end
this fight (Gilgamesh runs away after taking about 1500 damage).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head back to the first room and leave the castle via the southern door. On the
world map head west to the big bridge and make your way across it. At the
first bridge point you'll encounter gilgamesh again.

*******************************************************************************
Comments: A group of summoners or blue mages will rip him apart pretty easily
with titan and 1000 needles, just make sure they're in the back row so his
attacks don't hurt as much and have the white ability so you don't get killed.
Once he loses about 2/3 health he'll protect and shell himself and start
jumping so keep your health up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After getting thrown around the world, head east to the town of Regole

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find a weapons, armor, item and magic shop, a pub and an inn.

Upgrade your equipment, rest at the inn for a scene and play the piano at the
pub, it's down a hidden passage. You can also dance on stage for 100 gil and
then leave the city as there's nothing else to do here. Head south on the
world map ignoring the creepy looking castle for now. After heading east for a
bit you'll eventuallyleave the world map and enter a forest with a moogle
standing against a tree. Talk to the moogle and follow it down into the hole.

In the hole, just keep jumping in the water till you reach the end. It doesn't
matter which path you take at the fork, just make sure to grab the 4400 gil and
Phoenix Down on the way.

Here you'll find a weapon, armor and magic shop and an inn.

After the scenese, head to the left side of the room and get a Hero Cocktail
from the chest, then south through the hidden passage to get the spell
Teleport. Head up to the fourth floor and talk to Krile outside to learn of
your next destination. then go down to the 1st floor and head outside. The
building on your left is an inn and left of that is a weapon/armor/magic store.
Head to the roof of the store and down the stairs on the right to get an Angel
Robe. Press the switch that you can see on the other side of the wall then
stand between the weapon and armor salemen for Lamia's Harp. Walk into the
water in the south west corner and you'll be pulled into the castles moat, head
round to the other side of the castle and examine the corner that you can't see
for a Great Sword. When you're done, talk to the guard by the gate and you'll
be sent out of the castle, unable to return for the time being.

Comments: Like the gilgamesh battles, this abductor has a seperate bestiary
entrance to the last one, so don't think you can make it up here if you lost
before :p He only has 2500 HP and very low defense so he should pose zero
problem to you at this stage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Move onto the world map and head north to Quelb.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          QUELB
Magic: Requiem (Song)
Items: Potion x8, Potion x8, Potion x8, Kornago Gourd
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find a weapon, armor and magic shop, an inn and Kelger's House.

The shops are shut when you first arrive so head into the building in the
center of town. After the scene the shops will be open and the town will be
active.

Enter the inn and sit down next to the wolf in the back room for 8 potions,
this can be done three times. Examine the well in the south west corner and a
wizard will pop out and ask for a frog, so leave town to the south and capture
a Karnago, then return and give it to him along with 10000 gil for a Kornago
Gourd. Talk to the three wolves running in a cirlce in the north east to get
the song Requiem. Leave the town and head into the cave to the north.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          DRAKENVALE
Magic: Magic Hammer (Blue, Drippy), Golem (Summon)

      Phoenix Down, Dragon Grass (Rare)
New Enemies: Drippy, Lycaon, Bone Dragon, Poison Eagle, Zombie Dragon,
            Golem (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Follow the path and enter the first cave for 5000 gil, leave and enter the next
cave. Just keep following the path making sure to grab the Cottage on the way.
After crossing the bridge and going through a cave, you'll encounter a creature
called Golem. If you can kill of the two dragons attacking it before it dies,
you'll gain the item Golem which teaches you the Summon magic golem.

VeghEsther Comments: USe your newly acquired Requiem to kill the undead
monsters. (In the fight with Golem)

In this same area examine the pile of bones nearest the exit for Bone Mail,
this is the strongest armor in the game but has the unfortunate side effect
of zombifying the wearer. This means they will be hurt by healing magic and
will be unressurectable in combat, however, death magic will heal them.

Head into the next cave and you'll be at a dead end. Wander around the room
and you'll eventually fall through a hole into the room below. Grab the 7000
gil and go through the door to your left to pull the switch you saw earlier.
Backtrack to outside and head down the newly opened path. In the next area take
the left path to get the Hypno Crown and Wind Slash then go down the right
path. Grab the Phoenix Down and head through the door ahead to find a save
point. Walk back and take the door to the left to find the boss.

Comments: Take a summoner along for this battle and bring out golem as soon as
the fight begins to decrese the damage the boss can do to you. Summoning Titan
will kill all the flowers so concentrate your other characters attacks on the
pod. It can confuse, blind and paralyze with its attacks but if you have
Golem up none of its status changing effects will work.

VeghEsther Comments: Doom Claw works on the main boss and doom potion should
instant kill it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, switch someone to a time mage and cast Teleport to leave
Drakenvale then head south to Castle Bal. Head to the top of the castle and
after a lot of talking and falling over you'll be on the wind drake. Travel
through the mountains until you reach the sea then north to Ghido's cave.
After it sinks, head west to Surgate Castle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          SURGATE CASTLE
Magic: Swift Song (Song), Float (Time)
Items: 5000 gil
New enemies: Gobbledygook, Gilgamesh (Boss), Enkidu (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find a weapon, armor, magic and item store and an inn.

Pull the switch beside the door the get ushered into the castle. Head up the
stairs to your left and examine the book to learn Swift Song then head up the
northern staircase to find the library. Head down the stairs and talk to the
old woman who asks you to return the books to the shelves. They're stored
alphabetically so it is a simple task. Talk to her again and she'll open a
hidden door that leads to 5000 gil and the float spell. Upgrade your equipment
leave the castle, flying to ExDeath's castle and landing on the large ship
nearby. Head down and rest ad the ship will get attacked, so run back up on
deck. Move south to the end of the boat and engage Gilgamesh in battle once
again.

| Immune to Earth (Enkidu Only) |
L-------------------------------|
Comments: Make sure to equip the Steal ability on someone for this fight as
you'll definatly want to grab the Genji Gloves from Gilgamesh. This far into
the game you should really know what you're doing so just smash him down with
your strongest attacks.
After taking about 3000 damage he will summon enkidu who will cast white wind,
healing them both for 4000. As he's a flying type he's immune to earth attacks
but is vulnerable to wind attacks. Just keep at it until they're both dead.


Got an email from Hai Wei Shen some tips for this one:

*******************************************************************************
Cast Dark Spark and then L5 Death. Instant win, Enkidu won't show up. (Can
be done before he damages you if you have a speedy team)

If you do want to wait for Enkidu before finishing him. I do have a strat
for Enkidu too.
Cast Death Claw on Enkidu and then attack him with someone.

Both Gilgamesh and Enkidu can also be instant killed with Death Sickle.
*******************************************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head below deck and just follow Xezat and keep talking to him until you're
inside the tower. He'll give you some whisperweed and head downstairs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          BARRIER TOWER
Magic: Level 2 Old (Blue, Level Trickster [Control and reflect]),
      Level 3 Flare (Blue, Red Dragon [Control and reflect]),
      Level 4 Graviga (Blue, Level Trickster),
      Level 5 Death (Blue, Level Trickster [Control and reflect]),
      Time Slip (Blue, Traveler), Off Guard (Blue, Ziggurat gigas),
      Flash (Blue, Neon)
Items: Whisperweed (Rare), 9000 gil, 18000 gil, Blood Sword, Gold Hairpin
New Enemies: Neon, Magnetite, Reflect Knight, Traveler, Level Tricker,
            Gravitator, Ziggurat Gigas, ALL MISSABLE!!,
            Red Dragon, Yellow Dragon (Chests), Atmos (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: For an easier time casting reflect by catching neons to learn blue magic,
get four reflect rings from the Reflect Knights here, that way you'll only need
one neon and it will definatly hit the dragon/level tricker.

Two of the treasure chests here have monsters inside them.  Which monsters
you'll find in a treasure chest can vary, but it's possible to get a Red
Dragon.  You can learn the Blue Magic spell 'Level 3 Flare' from it.  You have
to use the Beastmasters Control ability in order to get it to cast L3 Flare but
it will only cast it on itself so you have to cast a Reflect on it. You can't
get the White Magic Reflect until after the Barrier Tower so if you want to
learn Level 3 Flare here, you'll have to use the Chemist's Combine ability to
make a Dragon Armor (combine a Phenix Down and a Dragon Fang), which casts
Reflect Or you could use the Beastmasters's Catch ability to catch the enemy
Neon and release it during your fight against the Red Dragon. You'll have to
release at least two Neons, since releasing the first one will cast Reflect on
you rather than the Red Dragon, then the second Neon's Reflect might bounce off
the first Neon's Reflect and hit the Red Dragon or it might cast Reflect on one
of your other characters.  Also note that this spell only works on characters
who are at a level that is a multiple of 3.

You can also learn the Blue Magic spell L2 Old from here from the enemy Level
Tricker.  For that too, you have to use the Beastmaster's Control ability in
order to get it to cast Level 2 Old then cast a Reflect on it so Level 2 Old
will reflect off of it and onto you.

You can also learn the Blue Magic spell 'Time Slip' here from the enemy
Traveler.

HEad up the stairs from where you start and grab the two chests, the closest
one contaiing 9000 gil and the other is a trapped chest holding a Blood Sword.
Head outside and up two sets of stairs to the fifth floor and a chest
containing 18000 gil. On the ninth floor, head up the left set of stairs for a
chest containing a Gold Hairpin then exit the room and head up the right set of
stairs. Use the savepoint then continue to the top of the tower, where you'll
be attacked by a mysterious voice.

*******************************************************************************
Comments: This is quite possibly the hardest battle yet if you don't know what
you're doing. Run in blasting of spells and trying to keep everyone alive will
get you dead pretty quick with Atmos throwing meteors at you. The way to win
this battle is to kill off your weakest character before the fight, then Atmos
will spend the fight trying to drag that character into him instead of casting
meteor. Have your other three characters as summoners and crush him with Titan.

VeghEsther Comments: Use Dark Spark, now Level 5 Death will kill it.
The sleep magic spell also works, when it does use Lance (LV 2 dragoon) goblin
punch (blue magic) Gaia (geomancer) and it won't wake up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the scene you'll have control of the submarine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          THE SUBMARINE

Items: Main Gauche
New Enemies: Catoblepas (Boss), Cure Beast, Land Turtle, Dechirer (Near Moore),
            Druid, Ironback (Cave near Catoblepas)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

check your map underwater and you'll see three flashing dots. Head to the
western one first. Move as close to the dot as you can, then surface. You
should find yourself next to the town of Moore.

In town, upgrade your equipment, play the piano and get a Main Gauche from a
barrel beside the Pub, get back in your submarine and head to the northern dot.
Head through the cave until you reach the surface, then run around until you
get into an encounter with Catoblepas.

Comments: He'll counter any attacks made against him with Evil Eye, which
stone's your party members so make sure you have some Golden Needles spare.
His normal attack is pretty weak but he can drain about 300-500 health which
can make the fight drag out if you don't finish it quick. A group of summoners
and Blue mages with titan and 1000 needles should do well, just remember to
use those Golden Needles after every attack.

VeghEsther Comments: Capture a Ironback monster in the cave
leading to it (6000+ damage) killing the summon instantly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you're done, return to the sub and head to the last dot, Ghido's Cave.

                          GHIDO'S CAVE
Magic: Pond's Chorus (Blue, Metamorph), Aeroga (Blue, Whirl Demon [Metamorph])
Items: Guardian Branch (Rare)
New Enemies: Dark Aspic, Metamorph
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can learn the blue magic Aeroga and Pond's Chorus here from the enemies
Metamoprh. The Metamorph will switch between three different enemies in combat
but there's four different Metamorphs with three different forms. One uses
Shiva, Caith Sith and Elf Toad (From who you learn Pond's Chorus), another uses
Ramuh, Zombie Dragon and Crew dust (Who teaches Flash) the third uses
Wyvern, Ifrit and Enchanted Fan (From who you learn Aeroga) and the last uses
Ifrit, Shiva and Ramuh.

Head into the cave until you come to a room with five chests. Examine the
middle chest for a stone and place it in the north west chest. Head through the
newly opened door and pull the lever there, then return and get the stone out
of the chest. Put it into the south west chest and carry on through the cave.
In the next room, it looks like a dead end but if you move down to the south
west corner a secret path will be revealed leading to a switch which causes
some stairs to appear. In the next room, head south west through two hidden
passages then east through a third. Hop into the pond and head north to find
the sage. Leave the cave and head back to Moore, but instead of entering the
town, head east to the forest.

            Crystal (Boss), Crystal (Boss), Crystal (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head forward and the Guardian Branch will clear the way into the forest.

You can learn the blue magic Lilliputian Lyric from the Mini Mages here, you
can't use it with control and it only hits one person so give everyone the
learning ability for an easier time.

Head north to find a chest containing 2500 gil, then all the way east for an
Ether. Examine the hole in the tree and a ramp will appear leading underground.
In the next forest area, head north at the second tree from the left to find a
chest containing 4900 gil, a little to the northeast you'll also find a Phoenix
Down. Return south to the path and follow it until it turns north, head north
east instead to find 9500 gil. Return to the path and you'll find another tree
with a hole, examine it for another ramp.

In the next forest area, walk around the tree to your left for a Cottage, then
east for a Goliath Tonic, you'll also find a save point to the north of it
between some flowers. North west of the save point you'll find an Elixir and
thurther north, a Morning Star. Head west from there and the forest will be set
on fire. To the north you'll find a chest containing an Aegis Shield, if you
leave it for now though, you can get a Flame Shield from the chest a little
later. After a few moments a moogle will pop out of the ground and save you.

The moogle by the door will eventually move and you can return to the ashen
forest. Head west to find a chest contaiing some Ash, then west some more
to get a Flametounge. Head north and you'll enter a boss fight.

Comments: The top Crystal absorbs fire, the bottom Crystal absorbs earth, the
front crystal absorbs water, the back crystal absorbs wind and
they are all immune to ice, poison, holy and lightning.
When the right boss is low on health, it will cast Aqua Breath, when the bottom
boss is low on health, it will cast Earth Shaker, when the left boss is low on
health it will cast Aeroga and when the top boss is low on health is will cast
Firaga. If you have four flame or coral rings equipped, taking the top or right
boss down to low health and leaving it alive throughout the fight ensures your
health stays high. They are suceptiable to Death Claw and Missile blue magics,
so a team of blue mages will end this fight rather quickly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now you can go smash your head against the wall because you just helped ExDeath
break the seals, Or you could just let him do it for you with his new power.

After a scene you'll be thrown into a fight with ExDeath

*******************************************************************************
Comments: This battle is really boring and stupid as 1) you can't die 2) You
fight alone and 3) ExDeath has a ton of health. If you followed my advice in
the last fight and used a group of blue mages, self destruct to get this battle
over with.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some more waiting and Krile will join you. She'll have the same abilities and
job levels and Galuf had so don't worry about having to do all that again.
Now you have the wind drake, You can skip the next part and head straight to
ExDeath's castle, or fight an optional boss and make a load of gil.

                          GIL TURTLE
Items: 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280, 2560, 5120, 10240, 20480, 40960 gil
New Enemies: Gil Turtle (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head back to Castle Bal and you'll find a cave to the north east, go inside and
find the hidden passage to the south, just after the first set of stairs. When
you come to a door, make your your party are fully healed as you'll randomly
encounter the Gil Turtle on the other side (You can encounter him more than
once). Also note that for every step you take further down the passage past the
door, you recieve gil.

Note: Zyther wrote in the point out, you can use the quicksave/reload cheat
from Walse castle basement to avoid the fights with Gil Turtle here as well if
you just want the money.

Comments: For this battle I reccomend a group of two black mages, a time mage
and a summoner all in the back row. Equip the two black mages with frost Staves
and have them constantly cast Blizzaga while the Summoner keeps using Golem to
abosrb his damage. The time mage should hastaga and float your party then cast
slow on the turle. After that just have him regen anyone who the turtle
manages to hit through Golem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you've reached the end of the path, you can leave the cave and come back
to get the gil over and over. When you're done, head to ExDeath's castle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          RETURN TO THE CASTLE
Magic: Level 2 Old (Blue, Magic Dragon), Off Guard (Blue, Magic Dragon),
      Aeroga (Blue, Magic Dragon), Carbuncle (Summon)
Items: Diamond Shield, Ether, Ice shield, Ether, Hayate Bow, Elixir, Kotetsu,
     Icebrand, Elixir, 9900 gil, 8000 gil, Twin Lance, Partisan, Fuma Shuriken
New Enemies: Twin Lizard, Blind Wolf, Hellraiser, Reflect Mage, Magic Dragon,
            Black Warlock, Adamantite Golem, Bandercoeurl, Iron fist,
            Blue Dragon, Carbuncle (Boss), Gilgamesh (Boss), ExDeath (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head past the wounded guards into the door ahead and up the stairs to the
second floor. Walk around the edge of the room to get a Diamond Shield and
Ether before heading up to the next floor. Walk into the large hall to the west
then try to return to the second floor as it looks like a dead end. Krile will
prove you wrong so continue up the stairs.

At the fork, head north and pull the switch to gain access to an Ice
Shield then continue south to the next floor. On this floor, ignore the hidden
passage and head all the way north, passing through the secret passage to your
right to get an Ether and exit to the next area. In the room with the lava,
give someone the Time ability and cast Float on your party. Walk south over the
lava to find a headen passage leading to a Hayate Bow. Return to the path and
follow it round for an Elixir before heading up to the next floor.

Note: Rare steals from the Iron Fists here is the only way to get enough
Beat Killers for your whole party, though if you only want one you can find one
later on.

Here you'll find a floor moving back and forth over a gap, you need to press A
to stop it so you can move over it. Stop it in front of the chests for an
Icebrand and Kotetsu. Stopping it in front of the pillars will put you in a
fight with either an Imp, Abductor, Jackanapes or an Oiseaurare (Though they
don't get added to your bestiary here). Once you get to the 8th floor, head to
your right to grab an Elixir from down a hidden passage, then head to your
left to continue. Get the 9900 gil at the end of the path then backtrack
slightly and head north. Head up the stairs to the tenth floor (take note of
the summon orb) then down to the ninth, make sure your party still has float
before heading into the lava. Walk all the way to the east end of the room
and up the stairs for 8000 gil, then head back down and take the central
staircase.

You'll be in a room with 16 skull plates on the floor. Stepping on the first
one will remove the bridge to the next area.

To Reach Carbuncle, step on the top plate of the western set, then the right
plate of the northern set then the northernmost plate.

Comments: I miss the cute little guy from FFVIII :(
For an easy win, use the Break Swordspell on a Mystic Knight and hit away at
him until it lands.

VeghEsther comments: Catoblepas also works for a instant kill (the reflect ring
steal is practically requried so do steal it.)

Edit: It seems that carbuncle can only be petrified at a certain time during
the fight. Untill I can verify exactly when it can be petrified, (Or if I was
wrong and it died due to damage, not petrfication) Troskyrovt wrote in to say
that using Silence Swordspell along with Aim or Rapidfire will stop carbuncle
from being able to attack, so hit him with that then beat it do death.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To reach the chest, step on the top plate of the western set, then the top
plate of the eastern set. It contains a Twin Lance.

To continue on, step on the bottom plate of the western set, the left plate
on the southern set, the middle plate on the southern set and then the
southernmost plate.

In the next room you'll find a save point so rest up. Make sure to open the
chest before heading through the next room to encounter Gilgamesh.

*******************************************************************************
Comments: He has no elemntal strengths or weaknesses so just pull out all your
strongest magic and skills, by now you should really know what you're doing
against these types of enemies. Someone with the summon skill is recomended
to keep Golem up as his attacks are mostly physical. Three black mages
casting spells on your own party once they've been reflected by carbuncle is
a pretty nice way to deal large amounts of damage here. Make sure someone has
the steal ability to grab the Genji helmet after he transforms.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight, head up the stairs to the right to get a Partisan and Fuma
Shuriken before heading on to ExDeath.

Once you engage ExDeath you'll be sent to the next world. Make sure you have
everything done here before heading onwards.

Comments: Again, three black mages and a summoner will make this an easy fight.
As soon as the fight starts summon carbuncle then just blast yourself with
firaga spells to inflict maximum damage. If he pulls your party into the front
row, don't waste a turn moving to the back, just summon golem to negate his
physical damage. Make sure you have the learning ability on some or all of your
party to learn Doom during the fight, you should be able to take him down
before the timer runs down even once.

VeghEsther Comments: Capture 4 yellow dragons and release all of them and it
will "die" in his castle in 1 turn.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Mykales have the Death Sickle as a rare steal. Apart from drops from
harvesters this is the only place to get them.

You don't have anywhere else to go, so head to the castle. Go inside and the
Chancellor will talk with you. When the party splits up, you can head to the
kings room for a flashback, then head out onto the balcony to talk to Krile.
Head out of the castle and west over the new bridge to the Pirate Hideout.
Boko will join up with his all time best friend ^_^ He can run over rivers
and you wont get attacked while riding him so head to the Town of Tule and then
westward. You'll end up in a big hole, being attacked by an Antlion (probably
the same one from FFIV :D ).

Comments: An easy battle, just use your strongest attacks to take him down.
Don't bring a summoner as he's immune to earth attacks. Aqua breath should work
well here, but I never tried it when I fought him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More waiting and eventually Faris will save you. Head south and enter the cave
for a really long scene. When you regain control, head up to the roof of the
library and talk to the scholars to recieve the song Mana's Paean.

Before heading to the desert, there are a few other things you can do, so read
on or skip ahead as you want.

Head north to Castle Surgate and continue through to the Library, reshelve the
books again for the old lady and head through the secret door to where there
was a man standing before. You'll find a Cottage in the box against the north
wall.

Head back south to the Library then west to the desert, head west past the
pyramid to the town of Moore. Circle around the pub to the west side and south
through the southwestern most building. You'll eventually end up at a Wizard
who asks if you're a coward or not. He gives you the choice of two crates, the
one on the left holds the Brave Blade, the one on the right holds the Chicken
Blade. If you've never ran from a fight, then the Brave Blade will be at full
However, the more fight's you've run from the weaker it will be and the
stronger the Chicken Blade will be (Up to 127 power). I recommend picking the
Chicken Blade as it can become stronger than the Brave Blade, it has
the side effect of sometimes making you run from battle but that can easily be
avoided.

When you're done, head back to the desert and enter the pyramid.

Comments: Give everyone the blue command and three casts of Level 3 Flare will
kill them both
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VeghEsther Comments: Lamia Queen, Rajiformes, Archeosaur, Mummy, Cursed Being
  and Grand Mummy are all undead. Abuse requiem. if you learned Doom from
  ExDeath at end of World 2, control mecha Heads and it will kill them.

Head inside after you win. Ignore the stairs for now and follow the path
round, hit the left and right switch to create a path and then jump into the
flowing sand to fall to the floor below. Get the Ice Shield from the trapped
chest and head up the stairs. Walk back round and hit the switch to stop the
sand. Head up the stairs to your right, through the hidden passages between
the rooms and then down the stairs. Examine the sarcophegus to fight a Grand
Mummy then enter the coffin for a Cursed Ring. When you have that head back
to the entrance and up the western set of stairs.

Head into the small room and hit the three switches, then carry on up to the
next floor. Open the three trapped chests to the north for a Flame shield,
Dark Matter and a White Robe. In the next room, there's two chests both
containing an Elixir at the north end and a Thornlet between them guarded by
some Mummies. There's a switch at the west side of the room which lowers the
spikes leading to a trapped chest containing a Black Robe. Examine the left
sarcopheus to clear the way to the next floor and a save point.

On the fifth floor, follow the path west to find two trapped chests containing
Crystal Armor and Dark Matter then head back and follow the path north.
There's a hidden passage at the end of the eastern wall leading to a
trapped chest with a Black Garb. Head back to the patch and continue to
floor six.

Step onto the falling sand to drop into a room with a trapped chest containing
Dark Matter then head back up to floor six. Hit the switch on the wall to stop
the sand then proceed through the door to the right. Hit the left switch to
move the wall back then open the two chests on the right for 8000 and 9000 gil
then the two trapped chests on the left for two Dark Matters then return to
the sixth floor. Hit the switches and proceed over the sand to the seventh
floor.

Head up the stairs and drop down to get the Elixir, then go through the door
and west to open the trapped chest containing and Gaia Hammer. Head east
down the hidden passage to find 10000 gil and a Cottage then return to the
main room and back up the stairs. Wait a few second for the floor to start
shifting then open the chests for a Gold Hairpin, Ribbon and Protect Ring.
Head up the stairs on right side of the room to get to the next floor.

Get the 12000 gil and trapped Dark Matter from the chests then head back down
and up the left set of stairs. The chests in the left room contain an Elixir
and another trapped Dark Matter, grab them and head through the central door.
Head forward and grab the tablet.

Leave the pyramid and head back past the great tree to get attacked.

Comments: I totally forgot to even write a strategy for this one.

VeghEsther Comments: Weakness all, (constant elemental changing barrier but
starts out weak to fire).
With Carbunkle summoned and Firaga targeted on all party members it does 9999
to her, 2 of them should easily kill her before she barrier changes even once.
Immune to Zeniage/most physical attacks without guard off casted so don't use
it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight head east to find your ship. Pretty much everything after this
point is otional as you can head to where Tycoon Castle used to be and enter
void straight away, you'll probably die rather quick at this point though.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          THE WORLD
Magic: Sinewy Etude (Song), Mighty Guard (Blue, Stingray), Syldra (Summon)
Items: Three legendary weapons, Ribbon, Cottage, Magic Lamp
New Enemies: Lots
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, head to the Sealed Castle to pick up some Legendary weapons.
Starting from the top, in a clockwise direction your choices are; Excalibur,
Assassins Dagger, Sasukes Katana, Holy Lance, Rune Axe, Masamune,
Yoichi's Bow, Fire Lash, Sages Staff, Magus Rod, Apollo's Harp and Gaia Bell.

Pick your three weapons and head outside. Next, head to Regole and enter the
armor store. Walk through the hidden passage and talk to the girl to recieve
a Ribbon.

Go to the town of Carwen and you'll find a Cottage in one of the barrels in
the north east corner of town.

Fly to Crescent and play the piano in the bards house then talk to him to
learn Sinewy Etude. You need have have played seven pianos to get this.
(They're all still available if you missed any)

Go find your chocobo (Who should be outside Ghido's cave) and ride him back
east to Tule, then north east to Regole and west from there all the way to
the waterfall where Istory used to be. Follow the rivers to the top of the
waterfall and aproach it to find a Magic lamp. Once you have it head back to
your ship.

Fly to the town of Carwen and drop into the water to the south west. Here
you'll encounter the enemy Stringray. You can control it and get it to cast
the Blue Magic Mighty Guard on your party. It might take a while to kill as
it has 30000 health.

Note: Apart from a rare steal from Shinryu (boss), drops from Stingrays is the
only way to get a Dragon's Whisker

Fly back to the pirates cave to gain the Esper Syldra.

Fly to the southern most piece of land, south west of Crescent and you'll
see a lone forest. Land nearby and walk into the forest to find yourself in
Phantom Village.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          PHANTOM VILLAGE
Music: Hero's Rime (Song)
Items: Thief Knife, Mirage Vest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you'll find two weapons, armor, item and magic shops, a pub and an inn

Give someone the hidden passages ability as there are quite a few here.

Head round to the back of the pub and enter through the back door, search the
barrels behind the bar for a Thief Knife. Head down the stairs and you'll find
a guy who will reward you with a Mirage Vest for riding your chocobo once
around the world. Leave the pub through the south door and head into the next
building. Go past the healing pot and down the stairs, then take the hidden
passage all the way east to find the last piano. Enter the door just east of
the piano to find a Black Chocobo, catch it and it's yours. Back inside the pub
head up the eastern passage to find the two weapon salesmen. Head back to the
pub and out the back door.

You can enter the magic shop from the left side to find the second merchant
and examining the box in the armor shop will open the path to the second
salesman. When you're done here, head to crescent and play the piano there
to get the Hero's Rime from the bard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          GETTING ODIN
MAgic: Odin (Summon)
New Enemies: Odin (BosS)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're not at least level 32 with good armor you might want to leave this
for now. Odin's Zantetsuken can do 1000+ damage to your whole party.

Fly over to Jachol cave and head inside, if you didn't come here in world one
you'll have to scroll up for a guide on getting through. Once you're in the
basement of Castle Bal, you can unlock the door and head up to rest and save
and it will stay ulocked. Just keep heading north, taking out the enemies with
Level 5 Death to keep your strength up until you reach odin. Examine the
summon orb to fight him.

Comments: HAving a Blue Mage with mighty guard is a Must Have if your team
isn't above at least level 33. Even if you are, it's still a difinate
recomendation as Odin's Zantetsuken can hit your whole party for 1000+ damage.
My recommended team would be, make your fastest member a summoner with the
steal ability, your second fastst member a black mage with the blue magic
ability and your last two black mages with the steal ability. As soon as the
fight starts, Summon carbuncle and cast Mighty Guard on your party then start
throwing Fireagas on yourself. When you've only got one hit left, start
stealing to try and get his Protect Ring, just make sure to kill him before
the timer hits 0.

VeghEsther Comments: Weak to break. When you've got the ring Spellsword and
break for instant win or use Catoblepas (though break spell blade is cheaper).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations, you now have the summon Odin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          GETTING BAHAMUT
Magic: Bahamut (Summon)
New Enemies: Bahamut (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mount your Black chocobo and fly to the forest nearest to North Mountain,
you have to head through a lot of desert to get there and some of the enemies
are fairly tough. Head up north mountain to the peak and Bahamut will attack.

Comments: A group of summoners will rush through this battle with ease, summon
Golem and Carbuncle in the first turn then use Odin over and over (Syldra if
you didn't manage to beat Odin). Any Physical or magic attacks he gets of will
be blocked or reflected and if he gets of one of his skills like frost or
maelstrom, he'll be dead before you feel any pain from it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For winning the battle you'll be able to summon Bahamut.

While you're in the neighbourhood, you might as well head down to the southwest
corner of the desert to find Phoenix tower.

You can learn the blue magic 'Roulette' here from Parthenope, it's easier if
you give everyone the learning ability as it will hit a random person (even the
enemies). You can learn Aeroga, Liliputian Lyric and Time Slip from the
enemy Cherie if you control one and from a lemure you can learn Pond's Chorus
or control it for 1000 Needles.

On some of the floors here you have to examine the wall to make stais appear,
You can either examine the left or the right of the wall, on the front portion.

|----|LEFT|----|RIGHT|----|

All hail my lame ASCII skills.  Imagine that line was the wall and the five
sections were the 5 squares you can stand in in front of it. Picking one square
will open the stairs, picking the other will open the stairs after a fight.
To make it up without a fight, pick the following sides:

#1 - Left
#3 - Left
#4 - Right

On the fifth floor you'll find 5000 gil in the left pot and a Magic Pot
monster in the right. Giving these creatures an Elixir will cause them to
flee, awarding you with 100 ABP, however you may need to give them up to 10
Elixirs.

#7 - Left
#8 - Left
#9 - Right
#10 - 10000 gil in the left pot, the right is a Magic Pot with a Phoenix Down.
#12 - Left
#13 - Left
#14 - Right
#15 - 15000 gil in the right pot, the left is a Magic Pot with a Phoenix Down.
#17 - Left
#18 - Left
#19 - Right
#20 -  20000 in left pot, the right is a magic pot with a Phoenix Down.
#22 - Right (HA! Didn't see that coming.)
#23 - Left
#24 - Right
#25 - 25000 gil in the right pot, the left is a magic pot with an Aevis Killer.
#26 - Left
#27 - Left
#28 - Right

On the 29th floor, there's just the center of the wall and you'll have to
fight for it. It doesn't matter what you pick in the flashback, you'll get
the summon Phoenix.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          ISLAND SHRINE
Items: 12000 gil, Hi-Potion, <Missing item>, Elixir, 9000 gil, Rising Sun,
      Protect Ring, Ether, Crystal helm, Beast Killer, Ether, Dragon Fang,
      Dark Matter, Circlet, Tablet (Rare), Three legendary weapons
New Enemies: Executor, Oiseaurare, Shadow Dancer, Numb Blade, Tot Aevis,
            Wendigo (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll find the Island shrine in the middle of the big bridge, east of Castle
Bal. You may remember it from world one, surounded by mountains.

You'll fight two gargoyls when you enter, they're the same ones from the desert
so use the same tactics. Head forward and you'll open the door with the book.
In the next room, there's a hidden passage leading to 12000 gil.

Get sucked up the pipe in the next room and you'll end up in a room with two
switches, they change the pipes destination. Examine the wall beside the pipe
for a Hi-Potion and a <Missing item> (There's no chest or hidden passage).

Hit the switch on the right and go down the pipe to get an Elixir, hit the
switch on the left (Leave the other down) to get 9000 gil, then hit the right
switch again to find a trapped chest containing a Rising Sun. Head through the
door to find a save point.

In the next room, head staight to find a trapped chest containing a Protect
Ring. You'll find an Ether in the north west corner of the room and a hidden
passage leading to a Crystal helm on the east wall.

In the next room, head into the door ahead for a Beast Killer. Ignore the
hidden passage to your right and follow the path west. The next floor is
empty so continue on to the fifth. There's holes in front of both chests so
approach them from the side or rear to gain an Ether and Dragon Fang. On the
sixth floor you'll find another save point so heal up and carry on.

Get the Dark Matter and Circlet from the left and right side of the room then
head into the middle to find a Tablet and your next boss fight.

Comment: This is quite a tough battle as he has three decoys that can't be
hurt. When you do hit him, he'll randomly switch places with one of the decoys
and you have to find him again. Using any magic or skills that hit all targets
will cause all the decoys to counter with frost so make sure you have Coral
Rings equipped. I don't know any way to predict his movements so just keep
hitting out randomly until you get him. Your three strongest physical attacks
and a white mage are recommended for this fight, at least until someone can
give me a better strategy. Make sure to get the ability Mind Blast from him.

Edit: Since soooo many people have emailed me about this, I'm gonna go ahead
and put it in. Zeninage makes this fight super easy if you have Ice Shields or
Coral Rings equipped.

For the record, I hate Zeninage, I think it's quite possibly the cheapest move
in the game and I never use it myself, nor do I want to recommend it to anyone
else. Go buy some Elixirs or something and fight like men! And ladies! And
ladies who dress like men!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teleport out with your new tablet and go get three more legendary weapons.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          FORK TOWER
Magic: Holy (White), Flare (Black)
Items: Ether, Wonder Wand, Hi-Potion, Defender
New Enemies: Tiny Mage, Chrono controller, Flaremancer (Magic side)
            ALL MISSABLE!!!
            Dueling Knight, Iron Muscles, Berserker (Physical side)
            ALL MISSABLE!!!
            Minotaur (Boss), Omniscient (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll find Fork Tower just west of Crescent, before the entrance was blocked
but now you are free to enter. When you enter you'll have to split your party.
Send your strongest pysical attackers right and your best magic users left.
You'll start with the two magic users, so enter the tower and head up to the
third floor. Grab the Ether on the fourth floor, the Wonder Wand on the seventh
floor and make sure you heal before heading onto the ninth floor.

The other side is identical to the first, grab the Hi-Potion on the fourth
floor and the Defender on the seventh. Heal up and head up to the ninth. Grab
the orb inside and you'll be attacked by Minotaur.

| Absorbs Poison, Holy, Earth & Water |
L-------------------------------------|
Comment: He absorbs Holy damage so if you brought holy weapons with you,
take them off before you enter this fight. You can't use any offensive magic
in this fight so just keep hacking away at him until he dies. He tries to cast
Holy on you at the end of the fight but doesn't have enough MP...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back over in the other tower, your magic group will fight Omniscient.

*******************************************************************************
* Omniscient         * Level: 53 * HP: 16999 * Drops: Nothing                 *

| Vulnerable to Wind |
L--------------------|
Comment: I recommend a team of two summoners with reflect rings and black magic
for this battle. Summon carbunle if you don't have the reflect rings then just
keep hitting him with Syldra until he dies. He'll cast flare when he dies but
if you have reflect up he'll just hit himself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fights you'll have Holy and Flare magic and the tower will be gone,
revealing the entrance to the underground area. Head inside and you'll find
Cid who will upgrade your ship to a flying submarine. If you head to Karnak and
dive under the water to the south of it, you'll find a cave containing a Wizard
who will give you some misc details about your game.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          RETURN TO WALSE TOWER
New Enemies: Gogo (Boss)
New Jobs: Mimic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take your newly aquired submarine to the area that Walse tower sunk in world
one, dive underwater and enter it. You'll have seven minutes to run down to the
bottom of the tower, though if you climb up the vines onthe fourth floor and
open the chest it will reset the timer. Once you get to the bottom, tell GoGo
that you're not going to leave and he'll attack you.

Comment: Gogo tell you that to win this battle you'll have to mimic him, so go
right ahead and mimic him. 'But he's not doing anything!' I hear you say and
you're right. To win this battle, do nothing (Paladin in FFIV anyone?). Just
sit there and stare at him for about two minutes and he'll banish himself.

Note: Bestiary says he's weak to water but immune to water. Could someone test
this please?

Edit: Got a response from Rayboy La to say that he's neither weak to or
absorbs water attacks, but he's immune to them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you get the Mimic job, return to your sub.

Fly to Cresent and dive under the water to the east, if you check your map
you'll see a flashing dot just north of you, that's your next destination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          GREAT SEA TRENCH
Magic: Meteor (Time)
Items: Water Scroll, <missing item>, Dragon Fang, Ether, Phoenix Down,
      Kaiser Knuckle, Tablet (Rare), Three legendary weapons
New Enemies: Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Triton (Boss),
            Nereid (Boss), Phobos (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll fight the gargoyles again, they shouldn't even bother you by now so head
inside.

Follow the path, heading south at the fork for a water scroll then back and
east to a save point. In the next room, hit the first switch to proceed but
ignore the second as it removes the bridge over the lava. In the next area
there are five switches, hit the one fourth from the left then the one second
from the left to fall down to the floor below. Grab the Dragon Fang from the
chest in the north end of the room and then down the stairs. Head south into
the lava (Cast float on your party) and get the Ether, then follow the path to
the east, grabbing the Phoenix Down on the way. USe the save point on the next
floor and you'll be in the great dwarven kingdom. Lali-Ho! Head down the stairs
and into the water. There's a small alcove in the south wall on the west side
of the room that will re-power your Magic Lamp if you've used it. Head through
the door behind the waterfall and onward down the path. Ignore the chest in the
room of lava for now as it will just dump you back in, push the three switches
to the south and the one to the west then open it. Make sure the grab the
Kaiser knuckle from the central staircase before heading onward. Try to take
the tablet and you'll be stopped by the next group of bosses.

Comment: If you got Odin before, summon him and he'll kill them. It you don't
have Odin, summon Bahamut a couple of times to wipe them out. If you didn't
get Bahamaut either then a group of bards using Requiem should work.
The red one is weak against ice and absorbs fire, the blue one is the opposite.
The green one is weak against earth attacks and absorbs poison.

Edit: Thanks to AGGRONM, aka Zulu, for pointing out that the Requim song is a
free and easy way to win this battle in one round.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teleport out and head back to the castle for another three legendary weapons.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          THE FINAL TABLET
Items: Ether, Turtle Shell, Air Knife, Goliath Tonic, Rune Blade, Protect Ring,
      Phoenix Down, Reflect Ring, Artemis Bow, Enhancer, 12000 gil,
      Aegis Shield, Fuma Shuriken, Titan's Axe, Tablet (Rare),
      Three legendary weapons
New Enemies: Mercury Bat, Coral, Tonberry, Aquagel, Steel Fist, Alchymia,
            Leviathan (Boss)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fly to the waterfall east of Istory, there's a small lake just southeast of it
and if you head directly south of that to the sea and submerge, you'll see a
cave. That's you're next destination. Head through the cave and into the
waterfall.

You'll fight two gargoyles again, kill them, open the door and head inside.

Head up the stairs, grabbiong the chests as you go for an Ether, Turtle Shell
and Air Knife. In the next room head down the right set of stairs and go south
for a Goliath Tonic, south of that is a hidden passage leading to a Rune Blade.
Head to the west side of the room and you'll see a switch on the north wall.
Equip the Thief's Sprint ability, hit the switch and run to the chest for a
Protect Ring. Once you have it, head south to B3. Head north at the first fork
for a Phoenix Down, then return and take the south path. West at the next fork
for a Reflect Ring then continue south to B4. Save and rest at the save point
then continue into the next room.

Head south then into the cave on your left for an Artemis Bow, then up the
path to your left (watch out for the pitfall) to get an Enhancer from the
chest you may have noticed earlier. Head back south and south some more for
12000 gil, then back east and down the stairs to the next floor.

Open the chest to the west from the front to avoid being spiked and you'll
recieve an Aegis Shield, the chest to the east should also be opened from the
front for a Fuma Shuriken. There's a switch near the chest to the south which
will lower the spikes and allow you to walk round to the front of it for a
Titan's Axe. Drop down into one of the holes by the southern chest and you'll
see the final tablet. Walk round and grab it then try to leave to iniate the
next boss battle, although it's not with who it first appears.

Comment: Four black mages are recommended for this fight. Give two the Blue
ability and the fastest two the Summon ability. As soon as the fight starts,
summon Golem and Carbuncle then hit your party with Thundaga spells. If he uses
his Tidal Wave attack, two uses of White Wind should restore your party to
full health (You can't use white magic or it will reflect). He dies in a couple
of rounds.

VeghEsther Comments: if you have 200,000 gil buy 4x coral rings (phantom
village) and white wind won't be needed since tidal wave will be absorbed.
Rapid Fire after using spell blade thundaga with Dual Wield. Or Quick + 2
Thundaga spells casted using all 4 party members.

Note: After all the fire ring use, I can't believe I forgot about the coral
rings. -_-''
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll recieve the summon Leviathan after the fight. Head back to your ship and
grab the last three legendary weapons.

If this was the SNES version, you'd have done everything possible in this
world, but when you try to leave the sealed castle one of the scholars tells
you of an earthquake to the south. Fly down to Phantom Town and you'll see
some bubbles in the sea to the south. Submerge and move over to the hole in
the floor to get sucked in.

Head through the cave and the door will shut behind you. To the south are three
crystal shards holding the Jobs Gladiator, Oracle and Cannoneer. Some random
guy will then walk in and explain the new jobs. The exit will now be open
again and you can leave.

Now you've completed everything possible in the third world :)
For now at least.

Note: The guy from the hole is located in Crescent Inn where he'll sell you
ammo for the cannoneer Job.

Checklist of things to have before heading onward:

Bestiary entries: 1-203, 243-298

Everything else. You should now have every single available magic, including
blue magic, all the jobs (except one gba exclusive), legendary weapons,
Everything.

When you're done, fly to where Tycoon castle used to be and enter the big
portal there. None of the other portals work.

                  =============================
                            4.d) THE RIFT
                  =============================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          INTO THE RIFT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to leave at any time, just head back to your ship and use the
wheel to be warped back to the sky above Tycoon Castle.

Follow the desert to the east and aproach the building there, a group of
monsters threaten your life then dissapear so head inside.

Climb down the chain ahead and south into the next room. Here you'll find an
Ether, Cottage, Dark matter and an Elixir. In the next room, hop down the two
chains, head east then up the right chain for an Elixir then the left chain to
get to the next area.

Head up the stairs to the east for a Blood Sword, then back and up the left set
into the next room. Head up the chain and you'll be in Phantom Village, though
you can't do anything here so leave as if you were going to the world map.

In the forest area, head north past the fork for a Dragon Fang, then back and
west. When the path widens into and open area, head south for a Ribbon,
further south for an enhancer. to the north east of that you'll find a Lilith
Rod and south of that is a tree with a hole in it. Examine the hole and a ramp
will appear just like in the original forest. Try to go down it and you'll be
stopped by Calofisteri.

Comment: Rapid Shot + Dual weild = Dead in first round.
My boss strategies have become less strategy and more 'spam your strongest
attack'. :p

VeghEsther comments: If you don't have rapid fire, I didn't yet, Bahamut
using 4x mimes till she dies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head down the ramp and stairs to the room with waterfalls. Watch out for the
Orukat if you're just pounding enemies with physical attacks as they absorb
holy. Follow the path east and enter the cave that you come to. There's a
coral ring in the chest above you and a save point down the stairs to the east.
In the next area you'll see a robot wandering around, avoid it if you dont want
to be sent straight back to that save point (Via the game over screen :p) and
head into the cave to the east to end up inside a library looking room. The
two books on the shelves will tell you about Omega (the robot outside),
Shinryu and Gigaflare. Touching the book on the desk will get you attacked.

Comment: This guy is pretty strong against physical attacks so give your team
dualcast and summon then spam Bahamut to end it in the first round (or the
second if he frogs you and you lose a turn using maidens kiss).
If you're really anal about MP usuage spamming bahamut, then make the three
slower people Mimes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head outside after the fight and you'll be in a floating castle with invisible
floors, so give some the hidden passage ability. Just follow the path west and
into the castle at the end.

Ignore the stairs ahead, the doors are locked and head west. Take the door on
the south wall (the other one's empty) and enter the tower to find a Thor
Hammer. The door on the other side of the castle leads to a Hermes Sandles.
Back in the center room, head up the top set of stairs to reach a prison.
Enter the south west cell and say yes to fight Azulmagia.

Comment: I couldn't actually find a way to kill this guy in one round...
Don't I suck? I think you know how to kill mages by now.

Edit: Got a couple of lucky crits with rapidshot and one rounded him. Woot!

VeghEsther comments: Weak to bio spells. Use that via spell blade or just cast
it normally then mime it (boss has nearly every blue mage spell in the game if
you miss any.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After killing him, he'll turn into a save point so save and rest up.

In the south east cell is a couple of Alte Roite's, these things will
transform into Jura Aevis' when you kill them. The chest contains a Rainbow
Dress and the chest in the other cell contains some Red slippers.
Cast float on your party then examine the grey thing beside the last cell door
and you'll be attacked by Catastrophe.

VeghEsther comments: Float + Equip reflect ring before starting then the boss
will NEVER attack even once.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Go save the girl for your 'reward' then head up the stairs after her (You
stalker, you). At the top, head over to the other side of the castle and down
into the cell with no door for a Man-Eater. Head back up and into the central
building. You can go down the stairs here and unlock the door from earlier if
you want, then try and carry on through the door by the throne twice and
you'll be attacked by the woman from the cell.

Comment: This SOB actually killed me :( My killing spree is over.

Edit: One rounded him. Dual cast holy with three of the characters and have the
other one rapid shot with Excalibur and Holy Lance. He's weak to holy so the
damage is massive.

VeghEsther Comment: Bahamut with 4x wall rings/carbunkle if you don't have
rapid fire yet or take the cheap way out. Wait till it attempts Giga Flare
then 1 cast of Odin and its instant death effect will instant kill it.

Ng Yitkenn also wrote in to let me know about summoning Odin during the Giga
flare Charge. It's apreciated :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After he dies, head up the stairs that appear and you'll be in the void.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          THE VOID HAS YOU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head down the stairs and over to the right for a Fuma Shuriken. Head round to
the funny looking guy in red and you'll fight Gilgamesh again.

Note: Gilgamesh will only be there and will only appear in the Necrophobe fight
if you opened the empty chest in Exdeath's castle.

Comment: I one rounded him, but then I had to go back and fight slower so that
I could steal the Genji shield from him. Make sure you grab that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight, enter the magic circle to get to the next area.
Just follow the path here, grabbing the Fuma Shuriken and Exlixer on the way.
Ignore the chest in the next area, it holds the Shinryu that the book near
Omega spoke about. If you fought Omega then you know what will happen here.
Head left at the fork for a Fuma Shuriken then back and continue right.
In the next area, you'll come across a glowing green light. Examine it for a
fight with Necrophobe.

Comment: Four mimes with Dualcast, Summon and Steal will get this battle
sorted. You can't one round him because he's protected by some barriers at the
start of the fight. Dualcast bahamut to take them out, then wait for him to
talk or you're next attacks will still miss. Once he loses a lot of health
Gilgamesh will appear. Steal his Genji armor and wait for him to self destruct
to end the fight.

Comment: I got really impatient to get to the bonus dungeon here so you wont
get a real strategy untill I replay the third world.
Cannoneers Combine ability, Mix a Blitzshot and Dark Matter then just keep
miming it until he dies. Instead of transforming you'll win the fight.

VeghEsther Comment: For beating it without Chaos Shot via combine, cast
Holy + Mime 1st round (after hastaga + mighty guard) then for Neo Ex Death
Zeniage + mime till all parts die (recast hastaga + mighty guard if you need
to.)

Comments: didn't fight it. No strategy yet.

Sit back and watch the ending. I certainly didn't earn it ;)

(If you earned all 111 abilities on all 4 characters, be prepared to watch a
LOT of text scrolling over your screen. Bwahahahaha)

                          4.e) CLEAR GAME
                  =============================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          THE BONUS DUNGEON
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To help you out white traveling in the bonus dungeon, I made a little ascii
map of the areas and how to move between them.

 |-> Right door --> Tower --> Caves
 |           @                @
 |            @               @
Begin        Waterfall --> Ancient

Key:
 @  = Teleport. This only leads down.
 -> = Doorway. This goes both ways.
 !! = Boss fight
 () = Notes.


Load up your clear data and you'll find yourself outside Tule with your
airship. Get in it and fly south of Crescent to the place you got your last
three Jobs. Head inside and pull the switch that was broken before and the
room will move. Once you're back on your feet head into the door in the top
left corner.

You'll find a save point here, head past it and down the stairs to
the north. You start in a grassy area, head south and down the right set of
stairs, follow the path west to a door and enter it. Follow the path, ignoring
the south path at the fork and enter the door into the Tower area.

Head south a bit and you'll see a hidden passage on your left, go down it then
south and the pthe passage on your right to find two Blitzshot's. Head back
down the hidden passage (The way to the crossroads it blocked by pitfalls)
then south to the crossroads and take the western path. Go through the hidden
passage here and pick up the two Blastshots from the chests before returning
to the crossroads. Move down the west passage and then north to drop into a
pitfall to the cave area. Follow the path round west to find a Blitzshot,
then head back to where you dropped down and head north. At the north end,
head north west for an Elixir then head back and go east. Ignore the first
passage south and hit thw switch you see at the end to move the rock, then head
south and east to find a Dark Matter. Head back to where you turned east and go
south west.When the path splits, head north for a Mace of Zeus then west and
north to drop into the Ancient area.

To save backtracking later, head west and into the door to reach the waterfall
area, get into a fight with a Behemoth and catch it with the Beastmasters
Catch ability. When you have one, head east through the Ancient are and use
the teleporter to get to the Water Caves area.

Hea down the stairs into the water twice and you'll end up on a different
platform. Head east past a fork and you'll find an Iron Draft, head back to
the fork and go south into the water. Grab the Power Drink from the chest
then drop into the hole to the south east. Grab the Dark Matter to the west
then head south into the water. Head west from here and you'll find a Turtle
Shell, grab it and follow the path north. When you get to four sets of stairs,
take the second from the left to get the Elixir, then hop into the water
again to be returned to the eastern platform. Head up and west at the fork,
into the cave to get back to the first area. Follow the path to two sets of
stairs and go down the right set to get a Goliath Tonic. Jump into the water
again the back down the hole to the south east. Head north here to the fork you
were at earlier and head east this time to encounter the Gil Turtle.

CAST FLOAT BEFORE YOU FIGHT HIM!

*******************************************************************************
* Gil Turtle         * Level: ?? * HP: ????? * Drops: Grand Helm              *
*                    * Steal:                                                 *
*******************************************************************************
Comment: Give your fastest person Dualcast + Summon, next dualcast + black,
next Summon + black, next dualcast + black.

When the fight starts summon Golem and Carbuncle, have the next person
dualcast blizzaga on your whole party doing about 5000 damage each time, he'll
counter with 4 attacks and may hit for a fifth, have the next person resummon
golem then the last person dual cast Blizzaga. Repeat untill death.

He'll end the fight with earthquake, doing 3500 damage to everyone without
float.

Note: I don't think this is the same Gil turtle from World two, as he dropped
a Grand Helm. The Bestiary says he drops nothing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Grand Helm is better than even the Genji Helm, so be happy with your new
trophy. Head south into the next area.

Go east for Cottage, then come back and head west to find a Fuma Shuriken.
Take the north path by the Shuriken to find a person who wants an ikkle wikkle
Behemoth pet... or something. If you listened to me you already have one, if
not, follow the map to the waterfall area and get one. He'll unlock the middle
door back at the top floor. Head back to the last area, head west to a cave
entrance to go back another area then follow the path east and into another
cave entrance to get back to the castle. Follow the path round to the exit,
but before leaving, there's a hidden passage to your right that leads to a
Buckshot and a Blastshot. When you have them head outside to the beginning
then into the double doors in the center.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          THROUGH THE DOUBLE DOORS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head west, taking the south path at the split. Get the Dark Matter, the Hero
Cocktail through the hidden path to the west and the Holy Water to the south.
Move east into the big room and get the Gladius from down the hidden passage,
then examine the statue to the north, you can't do anything with it now so
head back outside (You have to examine it here to get the key item in the next
bit).

Head into the door on the right, taking the south path at the fork this time,
and use the left teleporter to get to the waterfall area. Take the Dark Matter
in the chest and drop down one of the waterfalls to the west. Grab the Vishnu
Vest and head east into the next area. Head south down the stairs to get an
Elixir then follow the path east to the Ancient area. Make sure someone has
the sprint ability and whoever goes first has Flee, head east then north
and talk to the person there to be given a potion that softens stone and a
five minute timer. Run south and use the teleporter to the east to get to the
Water Cave area. Enter the cave right above you to get back to the castle and
follow the path outside. Enter the central door and run back to the snake
statue from before, prepare yourself for combat and examine it to remove the
petrification.

| Absorsbs Fire, Ice, Lightning & Wind |
L--------------------------------------|
Comment: The Aevis absorbs Fire, Ice and Lightning and is immune to Earth.
The two Dark Elementals have extreme Magic Defense and only summons and
level 6 magic will hurt them.
The Dark Elementals will cast Aeroga and White Wind throughout the fight, while
the Aevis will cast Zombie Breath, Poison Breath, Zombie Powder, Maelstrom,
Wing attack and Breath Wing.
Four Angel Rings and ribbons are heavily recommended for this fight.

The only way I've been able to kill this boss is with dualcast and summon
Bahamut. The Dark elemntals Aeroga hurt too much to not summon carbuncle, but
then I don't have enough healing to survive the Aevis' attacks in a drawn out
fight. Have fun being cheap ;)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Follow the path that the monster was guarding, taking the north eastern path at
the exit to grab an Ether before exiting into another Ancient area.

Open the chests around you for two Fuma Shurikens and two Ethers. Head south
and open the chests there for a Dark Matter and a Cottage. Further south is a
Cottage, Blitzshot and Sorceror's Mantle. Return to the crossroads and head
east to find two Holy Waters then move south into the next area. Get the
Kagenui here and return the the previous area. Head back to the crossroad
and go west to find a Phoenix Down and a Blitzshot then head south into the
next area. Head south and you'll find five chests like the ones in Ghido's
cave. Take the stone out of the central chest and drop it in the north western
chest. Head into the open door and get the Blastshop and Buckshot, then return
and pick up the stone. Drop it into the south eastern chest and head through
the door to get a Hyper Wrist, return and pick up the stone. Drop it in the
south western chest and head through the door into the next area.

Open the chest to your right for a Cottage and the head west. Climb down the
chain and head south (If you head east and north instead you'll find a
teleporter to take you back to the beginning [one way]). To the east you'll
find five chains, climb up the second from the left. Through the hidden passage
to the west you'll find an Apocolypse. Head back to the room with five chains
and climb up the left one. Go through the hidden passage to the east and all
the way north then down the stairs to your left to get to another waterfall
area.

Head down the stairs to the second platform, then cross over to the other side
of the waterfall. Go down the stairs for a Cottage then down the next set for
a Royal Crown. Head down tht next two sets of stairs then east to the next
area. Head down the stairs ahead, then take the right set of stairs to the
bottom and then the stairs to your right to enter another area. Head down to
the bottom and you'll find Dark Matter, Turtle Shell, Dark Matter, Water Scroll
and Cottage. Once you have them head back up into the previous area. Move east
into the waterfall, then open the chest for a Coral Ring. Hit the switch and
run quickly into the next Water Cave area.

Head north at the fork to find a Longinus and enter the waterfall to find a
save point. Talk to the person in the center of the room then backtrack to the
Anceint area, to the teleporter I mentioned earlier to get back to the
Beginning. Once there, head into the left door and open the middle cell that
contains a creature, in return for saving it, it will attack.

L----------------------|
Comment: Make sure not to have the Gladius, Excalibur or Holy Lance equipped
for this one.
Uses drain touch to steal about 700 HP, can cast Flare for about 2300 damage,
megaflare and gigaflare which does about 2300 damage to your whole party.

Dualcast + Time, Quick + Meteor, Meteor + Meteor. One rounder ^_^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When it dies you'll see a portal open all the way back down in the Water Cave
area, now you get to run all the way back down there :)

These next two bosses are optional, you don't need to fight them to beat the
dungeon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          OMEGA MK II
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head west into the Pyramid area. Through the hidden passage on your left you'll
find an Ash, head back through and go north. Here you'll see a bunch of robots
running around, each one is Omega, the super enemy from back in the final
dungeon, you should be strong enough to kill it by now (Why are you here if
you're not?) so take them all out for 100 abp each. Head east around the edge
of the room and down a hidden passage in the eastern wall to find an Elixir.
Head back down the passage and continue around the edge of the room into the
next area. Head forward and hit the switch on the wall to remove the forcefield
from the door back in the waterfall area. Head back south and follow the path
west, ignore the first switch you come to and hit the one at the end to open a
door in the room with the Omegas. Head back to that room and into the center to
find a chest containing a Demon's rod then go west to the door that you opened
with the swtich. Go down the stairs into the next area.

Head south to the two sets of stairs then into the hidden passage on the east
wall. Head down the second split for a Dark Matter and the third split for a
Blitzshot then return to the stairs. Head west to find a chest holding a Hero
Cocktail, but watch out for the pitfall on the right of the chest. Go down the
hidden passage to the left of the chest for a Dark Matter then drop down the
pitfall below you.

Grab the Ash from the chest and move north for a Blitzshot, hit the two
switches on the wall then go out the door that just opened. Head east past the
crossroads and south at the fork for a Holy water, then go north and hit the
switch on the wall. Head back to the crossroad and venture north to encounter
Omega MK II

L-----------------|-------------------------|
Comment: The strategy I had doesn't seem to work any more. I think my game was
just screwing up because of some codes I used. Gotta find a new one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight, head south to the door back to the previous area, then north
up the stairs into the first pyramid area. Head south east from there to get
back to the water cave area with the save point.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          NEO SHINRYU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This bit's coming later

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          RETURN TO THE VOID
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter the teleporter south of the save point to be warped to the void area.

Head south then east to get a Mutsunokami, the west to find an Elixir. Head
down the stairs and follow the path west and north to get to the next area.
Just follow the path to the next two teleporters, there's no items.
Head up the stairs on the right in the next area for a Robe of Lords, then back
down and up the left set of stairs to find an upgraded version of the Soul
Cannon.

Comment: A group of four mimes with with dualcast, time and summon are
recommended for this fight. Just have everyone cast Bahamut, Quick, Bahamut,
Bahamut, Mimic. If you run out of MP just keep using Mimic, though
you'll only get two bahamuts a turn instead of five. The Wave Cannon and two
Launchers will go down in the first volley, then you'll have to wait a couple
of second for the Guardian to become attackable (The ATB guages will freeze for
a second when this happens) before continuing the assault.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight, enter the teleporter to the north. Go north in the next room
to find Enuo.

Comment: Have everyone in the freelancer job for this one with dualcast and
summon. Equip them all with ribbons and angel rings then spam him with Bahamut.
If he kills one of your people, use the phoenix summon to revive them and keep
on attacking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fight you'll be pulled all the way back to the first room along with
the crystal shard containing the Necromancer job.

Congratulations, you've completed the bonus dungeon and defeated the master of
the void.

The door in the middle of the room that was sealed is now open and takes you
to boss rush mode where you'll fight bosses from the game in groups of five,
I'll detail that in it's own section. There's nothing else left to do in the
game except fill out your bestiary, have fun.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
5) Cloister of the Dead
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Note: All bosses in this section get added to your bestiary if you missed them
earlier in the game.

After you've beaten Euno and gained the Necromancer job, the center door in the
bonus dungeon will become unsealed and you can enter it to fight powered up
versions of some of the older bosses. You have to fight them in groups of five
with no chance to rest or change formation between each fight, though you get
to rest between each seperate group.

Zombie Dragon: Casts Poison Breath on the enemy.
Rajiformes: Casts Aqua Breath on the enemy.
Flaremancer: Casts flare on a random enemy.
Skeleton: Casts lightning on a random enemy.

This list is very likely incomplete, but the damage done by the summoned
creatures is absolutely pitiful and i heavily advise against ever touching this
ability.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
12.7) Condemn
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Condemn is the primary ability of the Oracle. It activates a timer on the
target that counts down from 5 to 0 before using the selected skill.

Note that even if the oracle dies after using Condemn, the move will still
triger when the timer reaches 0.

Following is a list of the skills given by Condemn and their effects:

Rejuvenation: Restores health to the target.
Recuperation: Removes status effects from the target.
Brimstone: Deals fire damage to the target.
Black Frost: Deals ice damage to the target.
Judgement: Deals thunder damage to the target.
Salentia: Casts Toad on the target.
Doom: Casts death on the target.
Still wing: Casts stop on the target.

As with Oath, the damage done it pitiful, the status effects are useless and
they can be replicated with the more usefull commands Time and Black.
Stay away from this ability.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
12.8) Predict
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Predict is another one of the Oracles secondary abilities. When selected in
battle you get to choose one of three ranks and then a random ability will be
selected and a timer will count down for the ability to trigger.
First Degree counts down from 5 and is the strongest,
Second Degree counts down from 4 and is slightly weaker,
Third Degree counts down from 3 and is the weakest.

Following is a list of effects, depending on what is said after
"The future brings ":

Starfall: Deals damage to enemies and party. Can inflict death.
Cleansing: Deals damage to the enemy.
Pestilence: Poison damage to the party. Can cause poison status.
Rockslide: Randomly deals earth damage to various targets.
Hurricane: Deals wind damage to enemies and party. Can cause silence status.
Deluge: Deals water damage to enemies and party. Can cause Toad status.
Eruption: Deals fire damage to enemies and party.
Healing Wind: Heals the party and removes some status effects.
Blessing: Heals the party.
Divine Judgement: Deals holy damage to the enemy and heals the party.

As with the last two Oracle abilities, stay away from this one. the damage is
pathetic and you can end up casting multiple status effects on your own party.

12.9) Combine List
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Combine is a secondary ability of the Cannoneer, one of the four new jobs in
Final Fantasy V Advance. Their ability is simmilar to the chemists mix, in
that they use items from your inventory to attack the enemy, but unlike the
chemist they mix items with special ammo that you can purchase in Crescent
after you have gotten the job.

The following section was sent to me by Oboyo Jinsaka from gamefaqs. All credit
and lots of thanks go to him for the following information:

*******************************************************************************
There are three ammo types, and they can be mixed with ninja throwing items,
chemist drinks and mixing items, and a few recovery items.

One shot must be used, and one of the other items listed must be used. No shot
can be combined with another. The type of shot effects its damage, and each can
be purchased in the inn at the crescent island. Every !Combine effect hits
-all- enemies, but the weaker the shot, the weaker the damage.

This is the order of strength:
Buckshot -> Blastshot -> Blitzshot

All status effects are the same regardless of ammo type, with the exception of
Dark Matter. Ammo type -only- affects damage and animation (All of which are
pretty cool by the way). I listed them under the Blitzshots.

And here are the combinations:

Buckshot + Gold Needle = Needle Shot (Always 1000 damage)
Buckshot + Mallet = Mini Shot
Buckshot + Goliath Tonic = Quake Shot
Buckshot + Speed Shake = Silver Shot
Buckshot + Power Drink = Power Shot
Buckshot + Iron Draft = Vulner Shot
Buckshot + Hero Cocktail = Divine Shot
Buckshot + Turtle Shell = Slow Shot
Buckshot + Dragon Fang = Dragon Shot
Buckshot + Dark Matter = Chaos Shot (Confuses Enemies)
Buckshot + Flame Scroll = Flame Shot
Buckshot + Water Scroll = Water Shot
Buckshot + Lightning Scroll = Spark Shot
Buckshot + Ash = Dark Shot
Buckshot + Shuriken = Normal Shot
Buckshot + Fuma Shuriken = Killer Shot

Blastshot Combinations

Blastshot + Gold Needle = Needle Burst (Always 2000 damage)
Blastshot + Mallet = Mini Burst
Blastshot + Goliath Tonic = Quake Burst
Blastshot + Speed Shake = Silver Burst
Blastshot + Power Drink = Power Burst
Blastshot + Iron Draft = Vulner Burst
Blastshot + Hero Cocktail = Divine Burst
Blastshot + Turtle Shell = Slow Burst
Blastshot + Dragon Fang = Dragon Burst
Blastshot + Dark Matter = Chaos Burst (Poisons Enemies)
Blastshot + Flame Scroll = Flame Burst
Blastshot + Water Scroll = Water Burst
Blastshot + Lightning Scroll = Spark Burst
Blastshot + Ash = Dark Burst
Blastshot + Shuriken = Normal Burst
Blastshot + Fuma Shuriken = Killer Burst

Blitzshot Combinations

Blitzshot + Gold Needle = Needle Cannon (Always 3000 damage)
Blitzshot + Mallet = Mini Cannon (Minis some enemies)
Blitzshot + Goliath Tonic = Quake Cannon (Earth Damage)
Blitzshot + Speed Shake = Silver Cannon (Olds some enemies)
Blitzshot + Power Drink = Power Cannon (Berserks some enemies)
Blitzshot + Iron Draft = Vulner Cannon (Def-Down maybe?)
Blitzshot + Hero cocktail = Divine Cannon (Holy Damage)
Blitzshot + Turtle Shell = Slow Cannon (Slows some enemies)
Blitzshot + Dragon Fang = Dragon Cannon (Double damage to Dragon targets)
Blitzshot + Dark Matter = Chaos Cannon (Deaths some enemies)
Blitzshot + Flame Scroll = Flame Cannon (Fire Damage)
Blitzshot + Water Scroll = Water Cannon (Water Damage)
Blitzshot + Lightning Scroll = Spark Cannon (Thunder Damage)
Blitzshot + Ash = Dark Cannon (Blinds some enemies)
Blitzshot + Shuriken = Normal Cannon
Blitzshot + Fuma Shuriken = Killer Cannon (Double damage to Human targets)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This section is based on the lists created by Zelloss, aka Genis Irving, who
created them on the gamefaqs message boards through his own experience and the
input of many of the boards inhabitants. to see you original thread containing
these lists, look here:
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=930369&topic=31674973

I have expanded on the original lists by Zelloss by including all monster
names, more accurate locations for some of the creatues and noting if creatures
from the first two worlds are still available in the third.

3: If there is a star in this column, the creature is still findable in world
  three.
M: If there is a star in this column, the creature cannot be found again once
  you have completed the area in which it is located, make sure to get them
  before you leave.
WM: The creature is found on the World Map.

Note: The listing for which enemies can still be found at the end of the game
     is not yet complete. Please don't email me saying I've missed something.

10/11/2006 - 0.4 - Finished the walkthrough and lists up to the end of the
                  first world. Still need to start the item list and decide if
                  I'll include a bestiary. Submitted walkthrough to gamefaqs.

11/11/2006 - 0.7 - Finished the walkthrough and lists up to the second world.
                  Decided to leave item list until walkthrough complete.
                  Still not sure about bestiary.

13/11/2006 - 0.8 - Completed the basic walkthrough up to the end of world
                  three, but need to go over it and fill in missing
                  information. Spell checked walkthrough up to the end of
                  world one and updated the lists.

14/11/2006 - 0.9 - Got the walkthrough finished up to the end of the game,
                  but it is far from complete. Started on the Bonus dungeon
                  and swore that as soon as it's done I'll complete World 3
                  and the Rift. Updated the legal section.

14/11/2006 - 0.9 - (Revised) Screwed up some boss info, had to go through and
                  fix it. Added boss information I had left out in earlier
                  updates as well.

15/11/2006 - 1.1 - Well, the main game walkthrough is finished and I ran out
                  of numbers so I hopped to 1.1, all boss info is now complete
                  and correct, still got a few strategies to put in and the
                  world three and onwards bestiary and item information is
                  still missing, but I've written up to the third boss in the
                  bonus dungeon. Don't know whow long it will take to complete
                  as I have no idea how big it is.

17/11/2006 - 1.3 - Finished the walkthrough for the bonus dungeon, added a few
                  more sites to the allowed list in the legal section, put
                  in the monster location list from Zellos and compiled a list
                  of Dark Arts skill locations and effects.

18/11/2006 - 1.4 - Added the boss rush section, fixed some layout discrepancies
                  and spelling errors. We wrote the intro section and fixed
                  up some grammar in the first half of the walkthrough.

22/11/2006 - 1.5 - Added information in various different areas of the
                  walkthrough, but also got some info written up that isn't in
                  this document yet so I'll be working on getting as much of
                  it as I can implemented by the next update.

12/12/2006 - 1.6 - Added in the weapons list along with where to buy them.
                  Expanded on the blue magic list and started adding in where
                  to find them in world three. Rewrote a couple of parts of
                  the walkthrough in the first two worlds. Expanded the
                  monster location list to add more detail.

03/01/2007 - 1.7 - Added the false rumors and FAQs section, havn't done
                  much with theym yet though. Expanded the boss data to
                  include level and rare steals, put in some more Blue Magic
                  locations, fixed a couple of typos and grammatical errors,
                  filled in my Credits and Thanks sections with everyones
                  names and contributions and added more job information
                  in the relevant section.
