The Wind Stops. (Level: 1) You start out by seeing the King of Tycoon Castle leaving Lenna in charge. Lenna is the princess of Tycoon Castle, and the King has left because he is worried that the win has stopped. Then, it cuts to the pirates, and Faris, the leader of the pirates. Then you see Galuf, riding the meteor to this world. The meteor crashes into this world and you will gain control of Butz. He will tell Boko, his Chocobo, to stay behind. Go up and around and fight the two goblins that are trying to take Lenna away. Kill them and meet her, then go upward to meet Galuf. Galuf and Lenna leave for the Wind Crystal Shrine. 2. The Pirates. Treasures: Kawa no Boushi (Leather Hat) Walk Butz out of the meteorite site and north of where he started, eventually, Boko will crash into the wall. You will have to fight a few goblins several times until you get Lenna and Galuf to join your party. They find out the road to Tule is down, and they need to get a ship somehow. Go into the cave to the Pirate ship and gain a few levels by the pool that fills your HP and MP up. Go up and through the winding cave, collecting the treasures as you go. Push the switch that the pirate did to go into the cave. Go across the bridge to the ship and press the "A" button the wheel of the ship. You will meet Faris here. After explaining why you were trying to take the ship, Faris will join you and leave for the Wind Crystal Shrine. The pirate will ask you if you know the way to the Wind Crystal Shrine, pick the top answer (Yes) if you do, and pick the bottom one, (No), if you don't. If you pick "No", the pirate will drive you over to where the Wind Crystal Shrine is. Don't go into it just yet, though. 3. Town of Tule. (Level: 4) Treasures: 100 Giru, Potion x 2, Etel, Fenix no O x 2, Tent x 2, 150 Giru, Kawa no Kutsu (Leather Shoes) If you don't have Level 4 yet, I suggest that you walk around outside of the town awhile until you get to that point. Go inside the town, Faris will head inside the Pub and drink for awhile. Go into the various shops, buy anything that you need and make sure to buy the magic. Also, if you're new to this game, you may want to visit the House of Beginners. 4. Wind Crystal Shrine. (Level: 5) Treasures: Tent, Bload Sword, Tsue (Staff/Cane), Kawa no Boushi (Leather Hat) This dungeon is not difficult at all if you are level 5. When you first enter, go off to the left and get some info on King Tycoon and get a few free potions and fill up your HP/MP. Keep going up a few floors, gaining each treasure you come across, until you fight Wingrapter. ********************************************** Boss of the Wind Crystal Shrine: Wingrapter. HP: 250 How to defeat: Only attack it while it's wings are open. Attacking when it's wings are closed will make it counter- attack with Tsume (Iron Nail). An easy way to beat it is to get Bload sword for all members and just keep attacking it until it dies. ********************************************** After you beat the Wingrapter, you get your first jobs. The jobs are: Knight, Monk, Thief, ShiroMadoushi (White Mage), KuroMadoushi (Black Mage), and AoMadoushi (Blue Mage). You'll want to walk outside of the Wind Crystal Shrine and fight a bit with your new classes. Right now I recommend Butz as Knight, Lenna as Black or White Mage (Kuro or Shiro Madoushi), Galuf as Monk, and Faris as Blue Mage or Thief. Doing this will give you good abilities with magic and attack. Also, if you are really strong, go a little bit south of the Wind Crystal Shrine and to the right on the strip of land, fighting the Lion-like enemies gets you a lot of ABP, fighting three of them at a time will get you 3 ABP a battle. 6. Back to Tule and on to the Canal. (Level: 7) Go back to Tule using the ship, and go to the northern house in the city, this is Zokku's house. After your party spends the night here, you will get the "Unga no Kagi" (Canal Key). Leave town and go to the canal a little bit south of the Wind Crystal Shrine. Open the door with the key that Zokku gave you. Syldra will leave at the end of this part. ************************************************* Boss of Torna Canal: Kalablos. HP: 650 Weakness: Thunder How to defeat: He's pretty easy, all you really need to do is attack. A normal state. Just attack her when she's in normal state. When she becomes undead state, a good way to beat her is to use "O Kearu" (Cure), on her with White Mages (ShiroMadoushi). ************************************************ 7. Ship Graveyard. (Level: 8) Treasures: Tent, 990 Giru, Phoenix no O x 2, Flail, Antidote x 2, Potion. Keep following the ships, you should find your way through easily, gain levels as you go through, some of these enemies give you some decent experience. ** **Note: I know many people have problems with this stage of the on the SNES emulators because of the various layering effects of emulators. I don't think there is a good way around this, so if you're here on an SNES emulator, it might be a little harder to navigate around. ************************************************ Boss of the Ship Graveyard: How to defeat: Having one or two Monks or Knights helps when she's in normal form. When she's in undead form, a good way of beating her is to use "O Kearu" (Cure) with White Mages (ShiroMadoushi). Just keep attacking when she's in normal form, though. ************************************************ 8. Karwen Village. (Level: 10) Treasures: Kori no Rod (Ice Rod), Cottage, Antidote. You will learn about Walse Castle and Hiryuus, flying dragons, in this town. Buy whatever you think you need here, and change your jobs according to what you think is best. Now is a pretty good time to gain some levels outside of the town, if you need to. 9. Northern Mountain. (Level: 11) Treasures: Kin no Hari (Golden Needles), Phoenix no O Go through the mountain, collecting treasures as you go, and you'll go through a few forks. You'll eventually fight Forza and Magisa at the middle of the mountain. ************************************************* Boss of Northern Mountain: Forza: Level 8, HP: 850 Magisa: Level 8, HP: 650 How to defeat: If you get hit by strong magic, heal by using either a potion or "O Kearu" (Cure) spell. An easy way to defeat them is to make 4 Monks or Knights and just waste Magisa with attacks before she can even call Forza to come to her aid. ************************************************* You now have control of the Hiryuu. Fly to Walse town, south of Karwen town. You can also go back to Tycoon Castle to get some good treasures if you want, Tycoon will be accessed by the Hiryuu for as long as you have it. 10. Walse Town. (Level: 13) Treasures: Silver Glasses You will learn about the Water Crystal here. Buy the best weapons and armor for every character, and be sure to buy any magic you don't have yet. You may want to gain a few levels outside. After you're done, head to Walse Castle. 11. Walse Castle. (Level: 13 or 14) Treasures: Tent, Phoenix no O, 490 Giru, Elf no Manto (Elf Cloak), 1000 Giru x 2, Supido (Speed). Talk to the soldiers and the King of Walse, you will see the second meteorite crash into the earth. Go with the King to where the meteorite crashed, which is a little northwest of Walse Castle. Don't go into the basement of Walse Castle right now, it is very dangerous, but you'll come back later. 12. Walse Tower. (Level: 14) Treasures: Otome no Kissu (Woman's Kiss), Ether, Silver Bracelet, Siruku no Robe (Silk Robe). Keep heading up the tower, and talk to King Walse, who is on the ground. Proceed up the tower, getting the treasures by climbing the vines. You will eventually get some Crystal Chips, and you must then fight Galura, the boss of Walse Tower. ************************************************* Boss of Walse Tower: Galura Level 3, HP: 1200 How to defeat: An easy way of defeating Galura is to just use "Kaeru no Uta" (Frog Song) on him, so he becomes very weak. He mainly uses physical attacks, so just keep hitting him with Monks and Knights. ************************************************* After this battle, you gain the following jobs: TokiMadoushi (Time Mage), Mahoukenshi (Magic Knight), Shoukanshi (Summoner), Baasaakaa (Berserker), and AkaMadoushi (Red Mage). Now is a good time to get the treasures in Tycoon castle if you haven't done so already, you may want to try out your new jobs and gain a few levels. 13. Tycoon Castle. (Level: 15) Treasures: Otome no Kissu (Woman's Kiss), Elixer x 2, Ether x 2, Phoenix no O x2, Giyama no Kane (Giyama's Bell), Shuriken, Ashura, Iyashi no Tsue (Heal Rod), Cottage x 3, Hi-Potion. Just grab all the treasures you can. Some are a little hidden, but I'll let you figure out how to get them. Go back to Walse Castle and talk to King Walse, he'll tell you information about Karnak. 14. Walse Meteor. (Level: 15) Go to the meteorite, there is a hole in it. Go through the small passage in the meteor, and you'll eventually find a warp that brings you to the meteor close Karnak. Walk northwest, and then south. Go to Karnak Town. 15. Karnak Town and Cid. (Level: 15) Go to the weapon or armor shop and try to buy something, you will get caught and brought to the Karnak Castle prison. You will meet Cid in the next jail, as he is trying to escape. He'll ask you to help him by stopping the Fire Crystal from breaking. After you talk to Cid, you will be let out of the castle. Buy the best magic, weapons, and armor from the shops here, and talk to the people of Karnak. After you bought "Faira 2" (Fire 2), go back to the Castle of Walse and go behind the castle and to the back waterfall. Keep going until you fight Shiva, use Faira 2 on her, and she should be easy. Now you have your first level 2 summon, Shiva. Now is a great time to gain levels around Karnak. 16. The Fire-Powered Ship. (Level: 17) Keep going through the ship, there are various ways with different treasures. The elevators will switch your levels for you, and there are single treasures in many rooms. When you see a room with four openings, take the one all the way to the right to get the Green Beret. After you got it, you'll end up back at the same four choices room. Take the second opening on the right to eventually get the Thief Glove. You'll return again to the four choices area. Take the second opening to the left, and you'll proceed. When you fall down, take the left door, and you can save. After the save point, you'll find an interesting puzzle that you'll need to complete in order to pass. I'll give the solution to the puzzle, don't read it if you want to try it on your own first. Solution: Click the first switch you can possibly click. Get off that platform and click the switch all the way to the left. Click the switch in the upper-left, and run across the room and click both switches on the other side. Walk downward and click the higher switch while you're standing to the right of it. Click the last switch, and you'll be brought to a place by an Elixer. Grab it and proceed to the boss. ************************************************ Boss of the Fire-Powered Ship: Liquid Flame. Level 19, HP: 3000. Attribute: Fire and Wind. How to defeat: You'll need to heal after you get hit by his Fire Magic. Bulizado (Blizzard) magic series is very effective on him, but don't use magic while it's in the form of a hand. Only attack it with strong attacks when it's in the hand form. ************************************************ 17. Escape from Karnak! (Level: 19) Treasures: 2000 Giru x 2, Elixer x 6, Elf's Cloak, Main Gauch, Shuriken, Ribbon, Esna Spell, Raijin no Jutsu. After you leave the crystal room from the whole, you'll have 10 minutes to escape from Karnak Castle. It's really important that you have one of your characters be a Thief and have the "Dash" skill, because you don't want to waste any time at all. Be sure to save at the save point. Run up the staircase, and get the two treasure chests that you see quickly. Go to upper-right staircase. It's a good idea to run from every enemies that you run into except for the enemies in the treasure chests, since they give you things after defeating them. Get the treasures on the left and the right of the room. In these treasure chests, you will fight enemies. These enemies cast the Blue Magic spell "Aero", so it's a good idea to learn it now. Go to the central door. Run around and go through the door at the bottom. Go through the next floor quickly, there is no treasure here. When you get to the room with the carpet, go to the upper-right staircase. Run to lower exit and get the treasure box, fight and kill the enemy. Run along the left and right castle walls, and in one of them, you will get the "Elf no Manto" (Elven Cloak). Return to the room you left from, and get every treasure chest you see. Run down the central staircase and you'll end up in the carpeted room. Go down and get the treasures on the left and right sides, and fight the enemies. Go down and fight the Sergeant. ************************************************* Boss of Karnak Castle: Sergeant How to defeat: When you get hit with the Death Claw Blue Magic spell, one of your characters will have only a few hit points. Make sure to heal this character quickly. Normal attacks work just fine for defeating him, and Monks are the most effective. *Note: Make sure to learn the Blue Magic spell "Death Claw" here, it's one of the most important Blue Magic spells in the game, and it should be useful throughout. ************************************************* Try to gain a few levels afterward. If you can get to level 25 going past Karnak, the rest of World 1 will be pretty easy. 18. The Ancient Library. (Level: 23) The wall that was blocking your way to the west is now gone, so you can follow the path west. There's a good opportunity to gain a good Blue Magic spell on the way to the Ancient Library. Gaining Aqualung: Before reaching the desert following the western passage, be sure to save your game. Once saved, enter the desert. I recommend changing all of your characters to Monks here. Make sure at least one of the Monks knows the Blue Magic ability "Learn Blue Magic" Enter the desert, and you will fight the Durumu Kimaira (Chivera). He will probably cast a deadly Blue spell, "Aqualung". Once he has cast it, keep hitting hit with everything you've got. Use Store Power or plain attacks with the Monks. After killing him, you will get the Blue Magic spell "Aqualung". When you get to the Ancient Library, save your game and use a Tent. When you enter the Ancient Library, go to the main hall and talk to the scholars. You will learn about Mid, Cid's grandson, and about the Ancient Library. Go to the basement of the library from the left door under the bridge when you entered the library. There is a great Blue Magic spell, "Level 5 Death" that can be gained here from Page 64 enemies. Gaining Level 5 Death: To get this Blue Magic spell, you must first make sure that at least one member of your party is a level multiple of 5, but one or more members cannot be a level multiple of 5, or all of your guys will die in the process. A few of the books in the library have the enemy "Page 64", and when you meet him, he will more than likely cast "Level 5 Death". You'll need a Blue Mage or the skill "Learn Blue Magic" to get it, of course. After he casts it, just win the battle, and you've got a new piece of Blue Magic. :) After you've gotten Level 5 Death, proceed through the library, going into various dead ends and pushing the switches to open up new areas. Going farther into the library, you will meet Ifrit, the Fire Elemental. ************************************************** Boss 1 of Ancient Library: Ifrit. Level 22, HP: 3000 Attribute: Fire Weakness: Ice This battle shouldn't be hard at all. Casting Shiva with a Summoner is very effective, and when you have more than 1 Summoner, it's even more effective. :) Black Mage's Bulizara magics work very well, too. After you've beaten Ifrit, the Summoner can cast the Ifrit Summon. ************************************************** When you get Ifrit, a bookshelf that wouldn't let you pass before now will. Proceed through the library, and at the bottom, you'll fight Biblos. ************************************************** Boss 2 of Ancient Library: Biblos. Level 24, HP: 3600 Weakness: Fire Try your most powerful Faira (Fire) magics on him. Ifrit works well. Attacking Monks also help. A good way to beat him is using "Death Claw" Blue Magic (Ao Mahou) spell. He shouldn't be too hard, but he is harder than Ifrit. ************************************************** 19. To Karnak and back. (Level: 24) You must talk to Mid in the Ancient Library. Then, leave for Karnak. Talk to Cid in the pub. You'll get the Fire-powered ship. When you go back to the Ancient Library again, the scholars will say new things. They'll inform you of Jacole. 20. Jacole. (Level: 24) This town is located on the peninsula in the south-western part of the world. Buy new items and weapons, and learn of your next destination, the Dungeon of Jacole. Treasures in the Dungeon of Jacole: Tent, Shuriken, Dengeki Muchi (Lightning Whip). When you enter, press the switch on the left. This enables you to move around. There are a series of switches on the walls. After the switches blink for awhile, a 'true' switch will be revealed. Hit this switch to proceed. In the treasure chest at the end, there is a hidden switch. Hit it to reveal a new door. There really isn't anything you need to do here, but you'll come back later. The wall in the back can be climbed, but don't do it yet. 21. Cresent Island. (Level: 25) When you first go into Cresent town, your ship will sink (Doh!). The village folks speak of the Kuro Chocobo (Black Chocobo). There is an additional song you can get here, "Tairyoku no Uta" (Health Song). You may also learn "Death Sickle" Blue Magic spell here by fighting enemies outside of the town. After you've done everything you need to do in the town, go into the Chocobo Forest (southwest of Cresent town). When you get in, catch a Black Chocobo by pressing 'A'. You will gain two additional classes here. They are: Ginyuu Shijin (Bard), Karyuudo (Archer/Hunter). After you get your new classes and KuroChocobo, head north of the Wind Crystal Shrine, and you'll arrive at Butz's hometown, Lix. 22. From Lix to Istory. (Level: 26) There really isn't much to do in Lix. But, there is a new song that you can learn. Go into Butz's house and get "Yuuwaku no Uta" (Song of Temptation). After you've packed up, head to Istory. It's northwest of the entire world map. When you're in the city, stock up on weapons and armor, and whatever else you think you need. You can get the Black Magic "Toad" by walking on the square flower garden to the west part of the town. If you go into the sheep's pen, talk to one of the sheep, and it'll kick you over the fence. Once you're over the fence, talk to the nearby Bard and get the Song: "Ai no Uta" (Song of Love). Outside and around Istory are very good places to gain levels at this point of the game. It may be wise to stop awhile and fight. You can get Ramuh summon spell here. Go to the forest slightly to the east, and keep fighting until he fights you. He shouldn't be hard at all. ************************************************** Boss of Istory Forest: Ramuh. Level: 21, HP: 4000 Atrribute: Thunder Death Claw works incredibly well in this battle. Use that right away if you have it. If you don't have it, use Monks or Knights to beat him out physically. It shouldn't be too hard, considering your levels. ************************************************** After you've beaten Ramuh, a new item named "Ramuh" will end up in your inventory. Use the item to get the new Summon spell, Ramuh. This is a really great place to stop to gain levels. Most battles yield 2 or 3 ABP, which is pretty good, considering what you've been through so far. It's a good idea to master Magic classes with Lenna and Butz, and Physical classes for Galuf and Faris, for now. 23. The Ancient Library and Quicksand Desrt. (Level: 28) Tlak to Cid and Mid, and you will learn about King Tycoon. Exit the library, and go west past the mountain range, and into the desert. When you enter the desert, the sand worm will attack you. When you get their, you're asked if you're ready to go in or not. Select 'yes' if you're ready to fight it. ************************************************** Boss of the Quicksand Desert: Sand Worm. Level 18, HP: 300 Weakness: Water. Aqua Breath is incredibly useful for this battle. Just one use of this Ao Mahou spell should kill it. If you cast magic on the little holes, they'll revenge with "Ryuusa". "Stop" is a pretty good spell as well. Use anything from the Water magic class. ************************************************** 24. Gosh and Lonka. (Level: 28) It's not very hard to navigate through the quicksand to get out of the desert, just keep trying until you get to the right path. When you get to the southern exit, walk south. Enter the village and you'll see King Tycoon (?). Keep going to where he leaves to, and he will appear and reappear. If you found him, he'll eventually take to the center staircase. Follow him there. When you get their, you'll fall through a pitfall. Go through the door at the end. When you get to the room with the beds, go to the right table in the right room and read the paper on the table. If you follow the instructions written on the paper, you'll get 2 Shurikens and a "Minimum". *Solution to puzzle: Go to the button on the lower-left wall, press "A". Say 'no' to the first question, and 'yes' to the second question. This should reveal your treasure. When you get the airship here, you'll get attacked on it by ClayClaw. ************************************************** Boss on the Airship (Once you get it): ClayClaw Level 43, HP: 2000 Weakness: Thunder Mahouken Sandara will work well. He'll use a special ability on you called TailScrew. This is a devestating attack, but it shouldn't be too hard to help it with healing magic spells. Also, if you're really low on HP, it might be a good idea for a AoMadoushi (Blue Mage) to cast "????", which does greater HP damage when your HPs are low. Also, "Raijin no Jutsu" can be thrown at him to do some huge damage. It's a good idea to steal a "Sango no Ken" (Coral Sword) from him, as this is the best sword for a Knight at this point in the game. ************************************************** When you beat ClayClaw, go to the town of Gohn. The Lonka Ruin will rise. Return to the Catapult (Where your Airship is launched out of, under the sea, near crescent island). 25. The Meteorites. (Level: 30) When you return to the Catapult, Cid will ask for you to obtain some Adamantite, so your airship can fly higher and meet up with the Lonka Ruin. Go to the Meteor near Tycoon (You were here at the very start of the game). When you go inside the Meteor, a boss is guarding it. ************************************************** Boss of the Tycoon Meteorite: Adamantaimai Level 20, HP: 2000 Weakness: Ice (Buluzado) This is a very humorous battle, if you know how to win it right. Just use "Level 5 Death" you learned from the Ancient Library, and that will totally destroy him. ^_^ If you don't have Level 5 Death, use "Protetsu" on your characters, then cast high-level Bulizado attacks. ************************************************** After you have beaten Adamantaimai, return to the catapult and give the Adamantite to Cid. The airship will now be powered up and you can press "B" while in the air to go up to the Lonka Ruins. 26. The Lonka Ruins. (Level: 31) There are 4 cannons around the opening, and you'll have to defeat these cannons first before moving into the interior of the Lonka Ruins. It's easiest to beat these by using the Ramuh summon spell, and they shouldn't be a big problem at all. Once you beat all of the smaller cannons, the middle cannon will open up, and you will have to fight it, as well. If at any time you need to leave this flying area, you can take your airship out of here to sleep at an Inn or buy items. ************************************************** Boss of the beginning of Lonka Ruins: Sol Cannon. Level 36 Just use "Level 5 Death", as it will destroy 2 of the 3 launchers. Sandara will work very well on the remaining cannon. This battle should be really easy. ************************************************** Treasures in the interior of Lonka Ruins: Gold Armor, Gold Shield, Elixer, Hi-Potion, 5000 Giru, Shuriken, Kodai no Tsurugi, Power Wrist, Engetsurin, Cottage, Ether. It's a REALLY good idea to have a Thief in the party for this area. This allows you to see all of the hidden passages within the area. It shouldn't be too hard, just keep searching for treasures, and moving along, and you will eventually fight ArukeoEibis. ************************************************** Boss of the Lonka Ruins: ArukeoEibis. ArukeoEibis has 2 phases: Phase 1 - Level 19, HP: 6400 Phase 2 - Level 20, HP: 2500 This is one of the harder battles in the game, I think. Since Arukeo is fairly strong, and he can change his weakness with "Barrier Change", this will be a tough battle. You can see his weakness by casting the Shirmahou spell "Raibura". Monks are very good for this battle, as well. After he revives, notice his level is multiple of 5, so you know what that means, Level 5 Death time. ^_^ ************************************************** Jobs Obtained after beating the Lonka Ruins: Samurai, Ryuukishi (Dragon Knight), Kusurishi (Chemist), Odoriko (Dancer). After the last crystal breaks and gives you those classes, Exdeath returns, because the seal is broken. Galuf leaves back to his planet, and you will only have 3 characters in your party. Go to the catapult and read the letter that Mid wrote. He's returning the adamantite to where you found them. Go to Tycoon, to the first Meteorite. There is nothing to do here but just let the meteorite destroy the power in the adamantite. Then, you have to go to the Karnak Meteorite. Here you will fight Titan. ************************************************** Boss of Karnak Meteorite: Titan. Level 1, HP: 2500 Attribute: Earth. It shouldn't be too hard to beat him. You'll need at least one person to heal, though, as his attacks can be devastating. He will cast "Earth Shaker" when he dies. After you beat him, you will receive the "Titan" summon spell. ************************************************** Next, go to the Walse Meteorite. You'll have to fight PyuroBoros. ************************************************** Boss of the Walse Meteorite: PyuroBoros Level 22, HP: 2200 This is one of the simplest battles in the game. All you have to do is have a Samurai on hand and have him do "Zeninage" (Coin Toss). It should die within one throwing of this. Simple enough. :) ************************************************** Now go to the meteorite near the Tower of Gone. You have to fight Kimaira Brain. ************************************************** Boss of Town of Gone's Meteorite: Kimaira Brain. Level 19, HP: 3300 Do not use any of your Bulizado (Ice) mahou, as it will be absorbed. Make sure someone has "Kearura", because it will cast Blaze, a very powerful spell. Death Claw AoMahou (Blue Magic) is the best strategy here. If you don't have it, use "Gravite" spells, as it has a weakness to it. ************************************************** *Note: You are about to leave the first world. You can do whatever you want, but there are a few things I recommend that you do before leaving. 1) Get the Elf no Manto (Elven Cloak) and Speed Magic from the basement of Worus castle if you haven't done so. 2) Gain a few levels. If you're high levels at this part of the game, great. But if you aren't, it might be really wise to gain a few, as there are much harder enemies in the next world. Once you think you are prepared, follow the arrows on the map and head to the warp zone. This is the end of the first world. ----------------- World 2: ----------------- 1. The Solitary Island. (Level: 32) The first thing you need to do in this world is use a Tent. If you don't have one, you'll have to keep fighting the enemies around this area until you can find one. If you don't find one, tough luck. :) Use a Tent. When you are getting to sleep, Abductor tries to take Faris and Lenna. You'll have to fight it with only Butz. ************************************************** Boss of Solitary Island: Abductor. Level 22, HP: 1500 Very simple. Just attack, really. It doesn't have very many good attacks, and you can easily nail it out of the sky with just plain attacks. I wish most of the other bosses in the game were this easy. :) If you don't think you're strong enough, just use your Death Claw AoMahou. ************************************************** 2. Exdeath's Castle Basement. (Level: 32) This is where you have to rescue Butz, Lenna, and Faris with Galuf. It's good to have Galuf as either a Monk or Samurai (I normally put him as a Monk, because he inflicts huge damage with it). After a few corridors, you'll find your friend's items. Then you'll have to fight Gilgamesh. (Cool music! ^_^) ************************************************** Boss of Exdeath Castle: Gilgamesh (Ya' think it'd be Exdeath!) Level ??, HP: ?? This is probably also one of the more simpler battles in the game. Just use normal attacks again. He doesn't have a set ammount of HP, but once you inflict a certain ammount of damage, he'll run away. ************************************************** After beating Gilgamesh, you escape from Exdeath Castle. Once out, you have to go to Big Bridge. There you will have to fight a few enemies, and then Gilgamesh again. ************************************************** Boss of Big Bridge: Gilgamesh. Level: ??, HP: ?? Don't just attack him out of the blue, because he'll power up so that he's much stronger (He casts Shell and Protetsu). Cast "mahouken-sairesu" at the very start of the battle, so he can't cast those magics to power up. It shouldn't be too hard after that. ************************************************** 3. Rugoru and Koozer. (Level: 33) Not much to do here, but buy all of the new mahou and weapons and armor. Also, when you sleep here, Galuf will get up and leave to the Pub. Just walk Butz over to the Pub and talk with Galuf. It's a good idea to gain a few levels outside here, as the enemies are not too hard, yet give good gold and experience. After you think you're ready, head south to the castle of Koozer. When you get here, make sure you save outside. The enemies inside are extremely hard, so run from all of them. You can go to see the 12 legendary weapons here. You will eventually get these weapons later in the game, but not now. 4. Mouguli Forest and Town. (Level: 34) Treasures here: 4400 giru, Fenix Down. When you come here, talk to the Moogle and head with him down to the underground river. You have to fight Tirasaurs here. ************************************************** Boss of River: Tirasaurs. Level 29, HP: 5000 Weakness: Fire This is an undead monster, so it's very good to use Faira 2 and Kearura (Cure 2) on it. These spells should knock off considerable ammounts of damage, as should the "Gravite" spell. After blasting him with a bunch of spells, and healing here and there, he's dead. ************************************************** Wen you get across the Grociana desert and enter the forest, you come to Mouguli village. Try not to wander off into the desert while you get there, because "SandCrawler" will surely kill you. If you wear the Mouguli doll you can get the Elf no Manto here. 5. Bal Castle and Quelb. (Level: 35) Whats going on here: It turns out that Galuf is actually the king here, which you find surprising. There are a lot of enemies outside the castle that you can fight for experience and gold, but don't exit right away, because you won't be able to get back in. Make your way to Bal Castle. There are many things you can get and do at Bal Castle. If you walk counter-clockwise around the Bal Castle moat, and search the dead end, you can get a Great Sword. There is a Tenshi no Hakui (Angel Robe) behind the back of the armor shop. There's a hidden switch between the weapon and armor shops. The weapon shop clerk will give you the "Ramia no Tategoto (Ramia Harp). *Note: This is one of the best places in the game that you can get ABP fast. In the basement of Bal Castle, many Sekizou enemies attack you. These are easily slain by Level 5 Death. It gives you 4 ABP if killed in a group of 2, and 8 ABP if they're killed in a set of 4. It is imperative that you up jobs here, as you will need to master a few to beat the game efficiently. After doing all that you can with level gaining and information, leave the castle and head north, to the town of Quelb. Enter the house in the center of Quelb. This is Kelgar's house. He was one of the 4 Knights of Dawn that Sealed Exdeath away. Kelgar will open the door on the north side of town. You can learn the spell "Reqiem" from the wolves in the northeast corner of the town. In the inn, a wolf gives you 8 potions each time you talk to him, and you can possibly get a maximum of 24 potions. Just a little freebie that you can pick up. :) You'll gain more information about the story here, and your next destination is the Valley of Flying Dragons. 7. Valley of the Flying Dragons. (Level: 36) Treasures here: Cottage, 5000 giru, Bone Mail, 7000 giru, Kazekiri no Yaiba, Hyupuno Crown, Fenix Down. It is essential that you get the "Golem" summon here. It is fairly easy to get. After awhile, you will eventually get into a fight with Golem, who is being attacked by 2 monsters. If you beat the two other monsters without having Golem die, he gives you his summon spell for helping him. This summon is a really good one, too, since it can protect you from a lot of damage. You will eventually have to fight the next boss, Hiryuu sou. ************************************************** Boss of Valley of the Flying Dragons: Hiryuu sou. Level 29, HP: 12000 Your newly accquired summon, Golem, works very well here, as it will block a lot of Hirryu sou's attacks. Zeninage "Coin Toss" will work incredibly well on this boss, if you have the money to spare, this is a good idea. Otherwise, use "Gravite" spells and normal attacks. It has a lot of HPs, but it will eventually die. ************************************************** 8. Back to Bal and Ghido's Dwelling. (Level: 37) You just have to give the Hiryuusou to the Hiryuu. It'll revive and you can use it in this world now. Go northeast from Bal, and you will reach Ghido's Dwelling. It's really too bad that once you get to, the entire island sinks. :) Not to worry, though...head west to Surgate Castle. 9. Surgate and Zeza's Fleet. (Level: 37) You will learn a lot about another of the 4 Knights of Dawn here, Zeza. Make sure you buy the best weapons and armor availabe for your party members, and if you go to the king's bedroom, you can get the "Subayasa no Uta" (Song of Speed). There is a special trick to do here, if you go to the library and arrange the scattered books correctly. From left to right, the books are: "Kindan no Sho", "Mamono Daijiten", and "Ronka no Himitsu". Here is a small picture of what the bookshelves will look like: __1__ __2__ __3__ __4__ __5__ __6__ __7__ __8__ __9__ __10__ __11__ Put "Kindan no Sho" into bookshelf 7. Put "Mamomo Daijiten" into bookshelf 2. Put "Ronka no Himitsu" into bookshelf 9. Once you have put the books in the right shelves, you will be rewarded with the magic "Leviteto". Leave Surgate, and head to Zeza's Fleet (It's east of Exdeath's Castle). You meet Zeza, the Knight of Dawn, and you sleep on the ship. When you are sleeping, monsters raid the ship. Ignore the wandering enemies and head straight for Gilgamesh, on the bow of the ship. He'll show up this time with a new posse, Enkidou. :) ************************************************** Bosses of Zeza's Fleet: Gilgamesh, Enkidou. Gilgamesh: Level ??, HP: ?? Enkidou: Level 29, HP: 4000 Physical attacks work well on Gilgamesh. Enkidou can be beaten by "Gravite", or by just casting "Confuyu" on him. Just keep hitting Gilgamesh with physical attacks, and Enkidou with magic, and it shouldn't be too hard. *Note: Gilgamesh carries the "Genji no Kote" (Genji Gauntlet). This cannot be found anywhere in the game but here, and is the best Gauntlet in the game, so make sure to steal it here. ************************************************** 10. Barrier Tower and Ghido the Sage. (Level: 37) Treasures here: 9000 giru, 18000 giru, Blood Sword, Kin no Kamikazari (Gold Hairpin). You start at the very bottom, but keep working up to the top of the tower. It's pretty straightforward, so it shouldn't be too hard going through here. Once you get to the top, you'll have to fight Atomos. ************************************************** Boss of Barrier Tower: Atomos. Level 41, HP: 19997 He is a pretty hard enemy, but not too hard to beat if you have the right combination of characters. Get 2 Monks, a Samurai, and a ShiroMadoushi (White Mage) here. Have both of the Monks attack, have the Samurai use "Zeninage", and have the ShiroMadoushi keep healing whoever needs it, as his "Comet" attack is really powerful. "Slow" also works on him. ************************************************** After you've beaten the Barrier Tower, you acquire the submarine. Head to Ghido's Dwelling underneath water (It's on the island that sunk, remember?). You'll have to go through a small cave, and when you get to the end, you meet Ghido. He will tell you a lot about Exdeath and Muah Forest, and give you more about the storyline of the game. He will also give you the "Chourou no Eda" (Stem of Elderly Tree), and tell you to go to Muah Forest. *Note: Now is a good time to get the summon spell of Katoblepas. Use the submarine, and go undersea. There is a small white dot on the north-western part of the world map. Go to that place by the underwater cave. Go around inside that cave until you fight Katoblepas. After you beat it, it will give you it's spell. ************************************************** Katoblepas: Level 38, HP: 5000 It's best just to use physical attacks here. Keep in mind that it can use a "Devil's Eye" spell on you to turn a character into stone. This shouldn't be much of a problem if you have an Odoriko (Dancer) with a Ribbon, though. Physical attacks by Monks and Ninjas work the best. ************************************************** 11. Muah Forest and Town. (Level: 37) To get to Muah town, just use the submarine and go to the western part of the world. Once there, look around to where Muah town is (it's surrounded by mountains). You can go underwater and come up, and you'll be close Muah town. Enter. You can get the "Main Gauche" here to the left of the Pub. The locked doors to the southwest cannot be opened yet, but you will come back much later in the game. Gather information here, and head to the Great Muah Forest. Treasures in Muah Forest: 2000 giru, Etel, 4500 giru, 9900 giru, Fenix Down, Elixer, Cottage, Kyojin no Kusura (Medicine of the Giants), Aegis Shield, Flame Tongue, Morning Star, Susu, Flame Shield (If you didn't take the Aegis shield). Use "Chourou no Eda" to enter the great forest. Once there, keep collecting all the treasures here, and fight the enemies. It is a good place to raise levels and ABP. After collecting all the treasures that you can and finding the right way through the forest, Exdeath will set fire to it. After you collect the remaining treasure, enter the Mouguli hole. 12. The Elderly Tree. (Level: 38) Use "Chourou no Eda" and the tree will open. Inside, you must fight "Fuuin wo Mamoru Mono" (Guardian of the Seal). ************************************************** Boss of the Elderly Tree: Fuuin wo Mamoru Mono. Level 77, HP: 7777 (each part) This battle is extremely easy if you have 4 Samurais, and just use "Zeninage". However, if you don't do that, "Gravite" spell works well, and "Titan" summon works well, too. After a few spells or Zeninages, it will die. ************************************************** ************************************************** BIG SPOILER ************************************************** After the battle, Exdeath kills Galuf. Don't fret, though, because Galuf's grandaughter, Kururu will join. She gets all of the abilities that Galuf used to have, and is pretty much the same in terms of strength and individual stats. ************************************************** After you have gotten out of this big scene, and you don't have very much cash, it's a good idea to go to Gilgame's cave. There is a lot of treasures here, all filled with giru as high as 40960. However, in this cave, you could fight Gilgamesh. To beat him here use the Bulizado magic and nail him with Monks and Ninjas. He shouldn't be that hard here, although he does have 32768 HP. 13. Exdeath Castle. (Level: 40) Treasures here: Daia no Tate (Diamond Shield), Etel x 2, Elixer x 2, Ice Shield, Hayate no Yumiya (Gale Bow), Ice Brand, Kotetsu, 9900 giru, 8000 giru, Twin Lance, Partisan, Fuuma Shuriken. Go to the front door. You'll have to go through all of the floors to reach Exdeath. In the 3rd floor, there is an illusion of Exdeath. Just go back a bit. It isn't hard to progress up the tower from here, because it's fairly linear, but when you get to the 10th floor, get Karbunkle summon here by beating it. He always has "Reflec" cast on him, so your mahou that you cast on him will bounce back and hit you. However, if you cast "Reflec" on your own party members, and hit them with mahou, it will bounce of them and hit him. Also, Katoblepas can sometimes kill him in one cast. You will have to fight Gilgamesh on the 12th floor. ************************************************** 12 floor: Gilgamesh Level ??, HP: ?? This is an incredibly easy battle. Normal attacks will beat him. Just make sure to have a healer on hand if you need it, otherwise, just use normal attacks, and waste him. ************************************************** On the 13th floor, you'll have to fight Exdeath... ************************************************** 13th floor: Exdeath Level 66, HP: 32768 Make sure to cast both "Golem" and "Karbunkle" to protect your party during this fight. After you're all protected, pound away at him using Zeninage, normal attacks, and Ninja's Double Hits or Monks. After awhile of dueling, he will die. ************************************************** After the battle with Exdeath, he merges the two past worlds together into one world. Are you ready?! End of World 2. ----------------- World 3: ----------------- 1. Tycoon and Western Valley. (Level: 40) Boko will come back to you. Ride it north and fight Antolion at West Valley. You'll regain Faris. 2. Ghido, the Ancient Library, and the Pyramid. (Level: 41) Go to Ghido's dwelling, and Exdeath will come here. He'll talk of destroying you, but won't succeed. :) After he leaves, head over to the Ancient Library. Get the "Maryoku no Uta" (Song of Mahou) on top of the library. Get "Fuuin no Sho" (Concealed Book). This is used for opening the seals around the temples. Once you have it, go to the Pyramid. Treasures here: Noroi no Yubiwa (Cursed Ring), Ice Shield, Flame Shield, Dark Matter x 7, Shiro no Robe (White Robe), Kuro no Robe (Black Robe), Elixer x 4, Ibara no Kanmuri (Thornlet helmet), Kuro Shouzoku (Ninja Wear), Crystal Mail, 8000 griu, 9000 giru, Daichi no Hammer (Earth Hammer), 10000 giru, Ribbon, Cottage, Mamori no Yubiwa (Ring of Protection), Kin no Kamikazari, 12000 giru. This isn't such a hard of a dungeon, but there is a hard enemy that is randomly encountered here, "Machine Heads". You can't run away, and they have 7210 HP, so be careful. When you get to the very top, you'll get your first Sekiban. These are used to get 3 of the 12 legendary weapons (3 x 4 is 12, so that must mean that there's 4 dungeons with Sekiban in them ^_^). Also, Bahamut will show up, and then he flies to North Moutain, where you will have to face him later. 3. Exdeath appears and the new Airship. (Level: 42) You will meet with Exdeath as you are walking back to the Ancient Library. He sucks the library into "mu" (nothingness). and you will have to fight another boss, Meryujinnu. ************************************************** Boss at the Library "mu" site: Meryujinnu. Level 33, HP: 20000 It is imperative that you have 4 KuroMadoushis (Black Mages) here. She can use "barrier" change, and change her weakness to Fire, Ice, or Lightning. So use magic like Gravite, Aero, Bio, and things other than those, and her gaining life on account of you using the wrong magic shouldn't be a problem. ************************************************** After you beat her, Lenna will join up again. Travel to the east coast. You will find a new airship here. If you ride the airship, Exdeath will suck some more towns or castles into "mu". It's a good idea now to go back to the Pirate's base, as you will learn the "Syldra" (Faris's dragon) summon here. Now, head to the castle of Koozer for your choice of 3 of the legendary weapons. Because of the classes I like the most, I usually take the Excalibur, Assasin Dagger, and Sasuke no Katana on my first visit. However, take the weapons according to the classes you use most often. *Note: There are really hard enemies here, so be sure to save the game at the entrance. 4. Crescent and Solitary Island. (Level: 43) You will get information about Mirage town from the citizens here. Go to the town by heading into the forest south-west of crescent. Buy all of the Level 6 magic spells here, and you will find the last piano here to play. There is a Black Chocobo here that will be very useful later. Now, head to the Shrine on the Solitary Island. Treasures here: 12000 giru, Elixer, 9000 giru, Rising Sun, Etel x 2, Beast Slayer, Ryuu no Kiba (Dragon Fang), Dark Matter, Circlet, Mamori no Yubiwa (Ring of Protection), Crystal Helm. You have to go through an air duct in this dungeon. If you hit the switch to the right, you will get an Elixer. Head back to the switch room, and hit the left switch for 9000 giru, and hit the fight switch up to go forward. This isn't too hard of a dungeon if your levels are pretty high, but when you get to the end of it, you'll have to fight Stalker. ************************************************** Boss of Solitary Island Shrine: Stalker. Level 7, HP: 20000 This enemy is very strange, in that it changes it's form to 4 creatures. Only one of them is the real monster. Don't use mahou on everything, as he will counter with a powerful magic. It's really good to use "Zeninage" here, as it will attack all of the segments with physical damage, hitting the true Stalker as well. ************************************************** 5. Fork Tower. (Level: 43) Treasures: Etel (Ether), Hi-Potion, Wonder Wand, Defender. In this tower, one party goes to the "Tower of Mahou" (left), and the "Tower of Power" (right). Only mahou attacks are allowed in the Tower of Mahou, and only physical attacks are allowed in the Tower of Power. At the top of each tower, you will have to fight two bosses. For the Tower of Mahou, you must fight Subete wo Shirumono. ************************************************** Boss of Tower of Mahou: Subete wo Shirumono. Level 53, HP: 16999 Weakness: Wind You can only do magic attacks on him, or you will have to begin the battle again. It's really easy to beat him if you cast "Baasaku" (Berserk) on him. He won't be able to use any more of his mahou anymore, but he can still use normal attacks on you, so you might want to use a "Golem" summon. He isn't that hard from there, just use "Earoga" on him, and any other wind mahou you might have. ************************************************** You'll also have to fight the Minotaur in the Tower of Power. ************************************************** Boss of Tower of Power: Minotaur. Level 37, HP: 19850 No magic at all can be cast in this battle. You'll have to heal your characters with normal items. Just make two Monks, or a Monk and a Ninja, and keep beating him with normal attacks. If you put the Monk on "Guard" status, he will take no damage from Minotaur's physical attacks, and he'll counter-attack sometimes if you are hit. This shouldn't be too hard with 2 physical fighters in your party. ************************************************** *Note: Keep in mind that whenever you receive a "seikban", you can take 3 additional weapons from the legendary weapons display in the Concealed Castle of Koozer. Just head back there to get your weapons after you've collected them. 6. Improved Airship and the Great Deep. (Level: 44) Go to the catapult and get airship modifications from Cid. You'll now be able to use your airship as a submarine, as well. After you've gotten this, go through the Dwarf Kingdom and head to the bottom floor. Treasures in the Great Deep: Suiton no Jutsu, Honoo no Yubiwa, Ryuu no Kiba, Etel, Kaizer Fist, Fenix Down. There are a HUGE number of undead monsters in this dungeon, so you might even want to use your healing magic on them. Also, "Requiem" doesn't take any MP to use, yet it gives undead monsters a lot of damage. There are a series of switches here, and it shouldn't be that hard to find your way through, so keep moving on, collecting all the treasures that you can here. At the end of the dungeon, you'll have to fight 3 bosses. ************************************************** Bosses of the Great Deep: Toraiton (Red Creature): Level 37, HP: 13333 Weakness: Ice Phorbos (Green Creature): Level 39, HP: 13333 Weakness: Earth Neregeid (Blue Creature): Level 20, HP: 13333 Weakness: Fire All of these bosses are immune to mahou other than their weakness, so it's a good idea to use the summon "Syldra" here. Also, have KuroMadoushis use individual mahou on the monsters, according to their weaknesses. "Requiem" also works here, and hits 2 of the 3 enemies. ************************************************** After this, you can get 3 more weapons from Koozer. There should only be 3 weapons left now. 7. Getting Odin. (Level: 45) Now is a good time to get another useful summon, Odin. To get him, go to the Jacole dungeon, and climb the wall in the back (You should have already been here...remember?). Go up and meet Odin. ************************************************** Odin. Level 2, HP: 17000 You have to beat Odin in 60 seconds, or else he will automatically destroy the party. "Holy" and "Flare" mahou work very well here, and so do throwing Shurikens. Even high level attacking Monks will work. If you can't beat him the first time, keep trying. After you beat him, you get his summon. Also, you can steal "Mamori no Yubiwa" (Protection Ring) from him. ************************************************** To get to the Phoenix Tower, you need to pick up that Black Chocobo you found in Mirage, and bring him here, since the airship can come here, but it can't land in the forests like the Chocobo can. 8. Phoenix Tower. (Level: 46) Treasures: 5000 giru, 10000 giru, 15000 giru, 20000 giru, 25000 giru. When you get into here, search the middle wall. You will be brought to a series of rooms, each with 2 staircases in it. If you pick the right one, there will be no enemies, but if you don't, you can be attacked by enemies. Try to do this on your own, but if you're the cheating type... Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, door. On some floors, you will meet the enemy "Magic Pot". If you feed him an Elixer when you meet him, he will give your entire group 100 ABP each. This is great for mastering classes, and is well worth it, I think. Also, a lot of the enemies here have great items to steal. Make sure to steal them. When you get to the tower, you will get the Phoenix summon. 9. North Mountain. (Level: 46) North Mountain is right above the forest you landed the Black Chocobo in earlier as you went to the Phoenix Tower. You will have to beat Bahamut at the top, and he is a very tough opponent. ************************************************** Boss of North Mountain: Bahamut. Level 99, HP: 40000 This is one of the toughest battles in the game. The best mahou in the game works best here, like Holy, Flare, Meteo, and Syldra summon. "Slow" and "Stop" also will work, but Stop doesn't work that well. This should be a long battle, but hopefully, you'll win. :) ************************************************** 10. Getting the Mimic Class. (Level: 46) When Walse sank in World One, there was one crystal shard that wasn't reachable. Well, you can get that shard now. Use the submarine, and search around until you find it (Hopefully, you'll remember where Walse was). You start at the top, and you have to go toward the bottom of it. You only have a certain time limit for this (people can't hold their breath that long, ya' know! ^_^). At the very bottom, you'll fight Gogo. ************************************************** Walse Sunken Tower: Gogo. Level ??, HP: ?? This is probably the easiest battle in the game, if you know what you're doing. Otherwise, it's the hardest. :) When you first meet him, he'll say "If you do what I do, you can win". Well, he won't do anything at all, so just sit there. You'll win in a matter of minutes. :) After this battle, you'll receive the Mimic class, the best class in the game. ************************************************** 11. Istory Falls and extra things. (Level: 47) Treasures here: Etel, Air Knife, Kame no Koura (Tortoise Shell), Mamori no Yubiwa, Reflec Ring, Enhancer Sword, 12000 giru, Aegis Shield, Artemis no Yumi (Artemis Bow), Fuuma Shuriken, Kyojin no Ono (Giant Axe), Kyojin no Kusuri (Giant Medicine), Rune Blade. There is a white spot on the map near Istory Falls. You have to get here via underwater cave. There are a few tricks to getting the chests here. On floor B3F, you need the Thief's "Dash" ability to get the chest on the other side of the water, but it is still very hard. Also, on B5F, you get to the bottom floor by jumping in the holes. You open the hole by the switch to the side of it. There is a hard enemy here that you can encounter randomly, Tonberi. He has 39393 HP! After you beat him, though, you can sometimes win a very great piece of armor, the Mirage Vest. After awhile, you'll have to fight Rivaiathan. ************************************************** Boss of Istory Falls: Rivaiathan. Level 39, HP: 40000 Weakness: Lightning/Thunder Mahouken Sandaga work very well on him. He is weak to thunder, so summon "Syldra" also works very well. I found that Knights with Two Hands ability and two strong swords will also do a lot of damage. After awhile, you'll kill him, and receive his summon. ************************************************** Now you can go back to Koozer, and get the last of the 12 legendary weapons. *There are a few more additional things you can do to help you beat the game more easily, and I'll list a few that are most notable. Getting the Chicken Knife or Brave Sword: Go back to the town of Muah. The locked door that was here before can now be opened. Go in, and you'll have to walk through a small forest. When you get to the end of it, you'll talk a person, and he will offer either to give you a Chicken Knife or Brave Sword. If you've run away from a lot of battles in the game, take the Chicken Knife. If you haven't run away much, take the Brave Sword. The Chicken Knife's power is increased by running from battles up until the point you get it, and the Brave sword is just the opposite...it's strongest if you haven't run away from many battles. It also decreases every time you run. Also, the Chicken Knife sometimes has the effect of making you run away! It's really a matter of personal preference, but if you run away a lot throughout the game, I prefer the Chicken Knife over the Brave Sword. Master Pianist: (That's playing the piano. ^_^) If you've played all of the pianos in each of the towns, you can become a piano master. After you've played them all, go to Crescent Town, and a Bard tere will give you "Eiyuu no Uta", which raises your levels during battle. Also, if you want, it's not very important, but you can go to a bay south of Karnak, and to a cave to the right side of the bay, and a man will tell you the number of fights you've been in, the number of monsters slayed, your average experience points per battle, your treasure box collection percentage, and number of times you've saved. It's now time to go to the final dungeon, slay Exdeath, and restore peace to the world. It's time to enter the void to the Cleft of Dimention. 12. Cleft of Dimention. (Level: 50) Yes, I think it'll be a lot less work for you if you're on level 50 or above here, because some of the later bosses here are really tough, and you'll be able to insure getting out of here and beating the game quickly. :) There are 6 sections to the Cleft of Dimention. The Ruins, Forest, Dungeon,Towers, Castle, and Last Floors. Cleft of Dimention Ruins: Treasures here: Etel, Cottage, Elixer x 2, Blood Sword, Dark Matter. There isn't much to do here. You climb up by using the chains on the walls. Just make your way through, but you haven't seen nothing of this dungeon yet. :) Cleft of Dimention: Forest Treasures here: Ryuu no Kiba, Riris no Rod (Riris Rod), Enhancer Sword. This isn't hard at all to make your way through, either, but there is a boss at the end. ************************************************** Boss of the Forest: Karophysteli. Level 68, HP: 18000 She uses "Reflec" to deflect mahou to you, but you can use "Dispell" to get rid of that. She doesn't have a particular weakness, so just pound away with normal attacks, or Zeninage, or anything you've got that you think will destroy her. ************************************************** Cleft of Dimention: Dungeon Treasures here: Tenshi no Yubiwa (Angel Ring), Honoo no Yubiwa (Flame Ring). You enter from the top of the waterfall. Make sure to heal up and save on the save point here. Right after, you will see a mechanical creature walking around. This is Omega. You can ignore it and walk on, but you can also fight it. It's a very hard enemy. ************************************************** Boss of Dungeon Zero: Omega. Level 119, HP: 55530 Omega is the second toughest boss in the game, right behind Shinryuu. First of all, Omega is weak against lightning attacks. A very good way of beating him is to make three characters Mahoukenshis. Also, have one character that can heal the party. Having double cast is also a really big asset. It is really preferred if you have at least one master Mahoukenshi, because then you'll be able to cast the most powerful lightning spell on your sword. It's also a really good idea to give two swords to each of your Mahoukenshi. After you have made all of your Mahoukenshis (or Suppins, anyone that can use sword mahou), have them cast the most powerful lightning spell that they have on themselves (or each other). After you do this, just attack him very quickly, and if you are consistent on this strategy, he should go down quickly. Make sure to have your healer constantly casting Cure 3 on your party, and having double cast ability is even better, because you will get twice the HP restored. I just beat him recently when all of my characters were level 65 Suppin masters. It might take a few tries, but if you follow my strategy, you shouldn't have too much trouble on him. ************************************************** After you get past Omega, you fight Apanda. ************************************************** Boss of Dungeon: Apanda. Level 59, HP: 22200 Weakness: Fire Cast "Baasaku" (Berserk) on Apanda, and use Fire Magic, but not "Ifrit" summon, because he will heal himself and the beserk status. Keep blasting him with your KuroMadoushis. ************************************************** Cleft of Dimention: Towers Use the Thief's "Kakushi Tsuuro" ability to see all of the hidden paths. Otherwise, they're invisible. There are a few really tough enemies here, so use your best fighters. Especially Ninjas and Dragon Eibis. There isn't any boss to this section, and it's not very long to beat. But, it is quite hard, because of the ultra-tough enemies. Cleft of Dimention: Castle Treasures here: Tooru no Hammer (Hammer of Thor), ManEater, Erumesu no Kutsu (Herme's Shoes), Akai Kutsu (Red Shoes), Rainbow Dress. Go straight and dwon the staircase to the left. You will go to a jail-like place, and you will have to fight Apocaryopus. *Note: Apocaryopus has the ability to cast every single AoMahou (Blue Magic) spell in the game. You might want to learn some important ones if you don't have them already. ************************************************** Boss of Castle: Apocaryopus. Level 57, HP: 27900 Weakness: Poison Use Bio! It inflicts about 7500 damage each cast, so just keep pelting him away with Bio spells from KuroMadoushis, and normal attacks with Monks, Knights, Ninjas, or Samurais. ************************************************** After you beat him, it opens up a save point, so make sure to heal and save. After you save, explore the rest of the areas in the Castle, and get the Herme's Shoes in the left wing, and Thor's Hammer in the right wing. You'll eventually have to fight Catastrophe. ************************************************** Boss 2 of Castle: Catastrophe. Level 71, HP: 19997 Any strong normal attacks here work. Be sure to have someone on hand that can heal the party at any given moment, though, as this could be a hard fight. If he uses "Akuma no Hitomi", use Kin no Hari items to cure it. ************************************************** Then, enter the central door. You fight Harikarunassosu as you are walking up the staircase. ************************************************** Boss 3 of Castle: Harikarunassosu. Level 97, HP: 33333 Most any normal attacks work here, but she can dish out some pretty tough spells. Again, have at least one ShiroMadoushi (White Mage) on hand to cure the party when needed. Also, you can cast "Baasaku" to stop her "Kururururu!" attack. ************************************************** After a bit of walking , you will have to enter up on top of the castle, and fight Twin Tania. ************************************************** Boss 3 of Castle: Twin Tania. Level 39, HP: 50000 He has a really high ammount of HP. This was one of the harder battles in the game for me, because I didn't have enough HP, and couldn't do enough damage in the time alotted. When the message "Gig Flare no tameni power up!" appears, use Odin. This is pretty much the only trick into beating him, but he is very vulnerable to Holy attacks. Also, it's possible to steal a "Kyojin no Ono" (Giant Axe) from him. ************************************************** Cleft of Dimention: Final Floors Treasures here: Ragnarok, Fuuma Shuriken x 3. A long time ago, Gilgamesh was sent to the Cleft of Dimention. Well, he shows up again. Then, he runs away. When you warp 2 times, you will find a treasure. You will have to beat "Shinryuu" (God of Dragons) to receive it, though. ************************************************** Boss of Final Floor: Shinryuu. Level 97, HP: 55500 This is very, very tough. Probably the toughest battle of the game. To have ANY chance in this battle, you'll have to have 4 Coral Rings from Istory (they cost 50000 giru). This blocks his initial "Tital Wave" attack, which can hit for up to 6000 damage. Then, pound him with everything you've got, and quickly. Don't attack with anything Holy attributed, because that's his attribute, and he will gain HP from it. ************************************************** Don't go straight (Exdeath is there, you will fight him last). If you go on, you will fight Necrophobia. ************************************************** Boss 2 of Final Floor: Necrophobia. Level 66, HP: 44044 You have to beat 4 small segments before you can attack the actual monster itself. "Golem" is really helpful here, as it will take the blows of a lot of Necrophobia's attacks. Bahamut, Flare, and Meteor all work great here. *Trick: You can defeat Gilgamesh here, if you take the right steps. Kill all of the barriers, then reduce Necrophobia's HP to about 6000. Make sure NOT to kill him. Gilgamesh will eventually show up. You can steal the greatest armor in the game from him, the Genji Armor. You can then wipe the 2 off the earth. :) It's time. Head up the center and fight him. Are you ready? Yes, I think you are. :) ************************************************** Round One of the Final Battle: Exdeath. "Golem" is really useful for protecting the party. "Heisuga" works very well for speeding you up, so you can have the edge in battle. Pelt him with all you've got, Flare, Holy, Meteor, Bahamut, Syldra all work here. He will eventually morph into NeoExdeath. Round Two of the Final Battle: NeoExdeath. There are 4 places you can hit. The 2 places in the back are in the back row, so your normal attacks will inflict half damage. Did you save up cash? Let's hope you did. :) "Zeninage" (Coin Toss) works VERY well on him...very strong attacks and mahou will work again, just keep fighting until the bloody end. :) ************************************************** The Ending.... *Note: The ending of the game depends on which characters were living when you defeated Exdeath (characters turned to stone are considered dead). If you have all characters alive when you defeat him, you will get the most sequences in the ending. ------------------------ Abilities: ------------------------ There are exactly 100 abilities in the game.
