Anyway I will send it again written "Final Version" on it. Here's what I got. - Basics of the game, like controls, character's bio and such. - Full Walkthrough, side quests and ending. - Complete list of magics, weapons, equipments and items sold at shops. - A boss guide for easy reference to the bosses. - Explanation about the Ability System and the jobs with their abilities. That's it, you should now be able to finish this amazing game with no problems, see you later on my next FAQ/Walkthrough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 2 - [INTRODUCTION] ----------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, here's my Final Fantasy 5 guide from the Final Fantasy Anthology package, this is my second guide for a Final Fantasy game, after having done a guide for Final Fantasy 4, I decided to make a guide for this game even after a long time after its release. I know that there's a lot of good guides at GameFAQs but anyway I wanted to create my own guide. I know it won't be easy for this guide to get posted, but I'm sure that my guide will be good enough. This game has a lot of importance to me because I chose my alias when I first played this game. Boko, Bartz's friend is responsible for my alias, so that is another motive to make this guide as good as possible. I want you to know that this guide may contain some spelling errors 'cause I'm from Brazil and my english is poor, so any corrections will be really appreciated and you'll get your name and e-mail adress posted in the credits section. Finally, I really apreciate if my guide be readed by a lot of people, but I really don't suggest you to use this FAQ/Walkthrough unless you get stucked on a specific part of the game or want to finish the game with 100%, so read it by your own risk, 'cause this FAQ has lots of spoilers. Thanks. Boko. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 3 - [GAME CONTROLS] ---------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____ _____ /L1,L2\_____________________/R1,R2\ / \ | _ Tri | | _| |_ ___ _____ Squ Cir | | |_ _| |Sel| |Start| X | | |_| ____________ | | / LA \ / RA \ | \ /\____/ \____/\ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \___/ \___/ BUTTONS FUNCTIONS ______________________________________________________________________________ | | | | Digital Pad | Move your character, control vehicle, move cursor | | Start | Pause the game when in battle. | | Select | NO USE. | | Square | Opens map on World Map. | | Circle | Cancel button, dash(holding). | | X | Action button, talk, confirm, choose options etc. | | Triangle | Bring the main menu. | | L1 | NO USE. | | L2 | NO USE. | | R1 | NO USE | | R2 | NO USE. | | L1+L2 | Run from battles. | | L1+L2+R1+R2+Start+Select | Quick reset. | | Left analog control. | NO USE. | | Right analog control. | NO USE. | |__________________________|___________________________________________________| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 4 - [MAIN MENU] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a copy of the main menu and what exactly each option does. __________________________________ | | | | Reina W.Mage | Job | | Lv99 Lv.5 0/999 | | | HP 9999/9999 | Ability | | MP 999/ 999 |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| | | Item | | | | | Bartz Ninja | Magic | | Lv99 Lv.5 0/999 | | | HP 9999/9999 | Equip | | MP 999/ 999 | | | | Status | | Krile Hunter | | | Lv99 Lv.5 0/999 | Config | | HP 9999/9999 | | | MP 999/ 999 | Save | | |_________| | | Time | | Faris B.Mage | 99:99 | | Lv99 Lv.6 0/999 |_________| | HP 9999/9999 | GP | | MP 999/ 999 | 9999999 | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ __________ Job ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Here you can change your character's job. __________ Ability ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Here you can see the abilities you've learned and equip them. __________ Item ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Here you can see your items and use them. __________ Magic ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Here you can see/use all magic you have. __________ Equip ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Here you can remove or equip, weapons, helmets, armors and relics. __________ Config ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Have some settings that you can change. -Bat Mode - Active or Wait. -Bat Speed - How fast the battle goes. -Msg Speed - How fast the texts will appear/disappear. -Cm Set - Changes battle menu. -Gauge - Switch on or off the ATB gauge. -Sound - Stereo or Mono. -Cursor - Memory or not. -re-equip - Optimize or not equipments when job is changed. -Controller- One or two players in battle. -Wind Color- You can change the color of the menus. __________ Save ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Saves your game, of course. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 5 - [CHARACTERS] ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here the character's bio, for a better knowledge about the them. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° :--NAME--------: Bartz Klauser :--AGE---------: 20 :--HEIGHT------: 5'10. :--WEIGHT------: 128 lbs. :--DESCRIPTION-: Bartz is a guy who travels around the world where his friend, the chocobo Boko, takes him, as the meteorite falls in Tycoon he goes to investigate it, he meets people and make new friends as his adventure goes on, later on he is chosen by the crystals as one of the four that will defend the Crystal, just like his father once did. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° :--NAME--------: Reyna Tycoon :--AGE---------: 19 :--HEIGHT------: 5'4. :--WEIGHT------: 99 lbs. :--DESCRIPTION-: Reyna is the daughter of the King Tycoon, once, as her father went to check what happened to the Wind Crystal at the Wind Shrine, she decides to follow him.

You can also pass by some small water canals with Boko, later in the game he finds Koko, falls in love with her, and has three childs. _______________________ Black Chocobo ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The black chocobo, differently from Boko, can't walk on the world map, but he can fly instead. You can only get, and land the Black Chocobo on forest areas, also he can't fly over high mountains. _______________________ Dragon ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The Dragon does almost the same as the Black Chocobo, he can fly, but with some differences. Neither you can ride nor land the Dragon on the forest areas, you can only do it in grass areas. Also he can't fly over mountains, high or low. _______________________ Steamship ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Of course the steamship can only be used in the water, the steamship is the only vehicle that you will have random encounters while using it. You can't pass through the small canals, and to get out of it you must reach any margin. _______________________ Airship ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ When you find the airship, it isn't working, but with Cid's help the party will be able to use it. With the airship you can fly over any part of the world map. You can't land it on desert, forest or water areas. _______________________ Submarine ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ With the submarine you can move underwater and reach places that you couldn't do with any other vehicle, the best thing about the submarine is that when you are on a bright point of the underwater map, you can rest at the submarine. If you press X you will come to the surface. _______________________ Airship/Steamship ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Is a 2 in 1 vehicle, you can use it as an airship or a steamship. While in the air, press X then down to land on the water, and while in the water, press X then up to fly. _______________________ Airship/Ship/Submarine ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Is a 3 in 1 vehicle, you can use it as an, a steamship or a submarine. While in the air press X then down to land in the water, while in the water press X then up to fly or down to go underwater, and while underwater just press X to go to the surface. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 9 - [HINTS AND TIPS] --------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some hints and tips to help you finish another masterpiece from Square! (^_^) Constantly save your game, I don't know why some people have the stupid habit of skip SAVE POINTS. Always save your game, this way you'll always be safe. (^_^) Use the bow withouth fear, the arrows here are unlimited, so you won't have to buy them. (^_^) Have lots of healing items, like Potions, Tonics and Tents, this way you'll be safe even if you run out of MP. (^_^) Use your magic instead of your items, magic you can recharge by sleeping, or using Tents/Cottages, but your items you'll need money to buy more, try to save your money for best equipments. (^_^) Your experience is shared among the party, what makes harder to gain a level, but you can make it easier by killing the other party members them fighting without them, so if you kill an enemy with only one character you'll win 3x more experience. This is good if you want to build up the level of one character in personal. (^_^) If this is your first time playing a Final Fantasy game, I suggest you to slow the battle speed and putting the battle in WAIT mode, this way the battles will be a lot easier to think what to do. (^_^) Have the strongest characters in front while the weak ones in back row, this way your healers won't take damage as much as in front. (^_^) Try to think fast, the enemies will attack you even if you haven't completed your action turn. (^_^) Ridding a chocobo isn't always the best way to walk in the world, this way you'll lose a lot of EXP, money and maybe items, so only use chocobos as a last resource. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 10 - [WALKTHROUGH] ----------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTICE: This sections may contain spoilers, like location of itens/ weapons and puzzles solves, so read this section by your own risk. This may cut some fun and game challenge. I'm telling you this to avoid some idiots that sends e-mails blaming me for it. ______________________________________________________________________________ | | | F I N A L F A N T A S Y 5 | |______________________________________________________________________________| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- B A R T Z ' S W O R L D ------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game will start at the Tycoon Castle, you will see a scene where the King of Tycoon is about to leave the castle toward the Wind Shrine because the wind stopped. His daughter Reina asks him to don't go alone but he seens to be decided, then the scene shifts to some places where you see that other people are thinking that something is wrong because of the wind, just like the King. The King takes the dragon and before leaving says a last goodbye to his daugther. The scene shifts to a forest where a boy and a chocobo are around a fireplace, then the forest starts to shake making them get worried, you will see a scene where a meteorite falls from the sky, afterwards the boy rides the chocobo and leaves the forest to look out for the meteorite. WORLD MAP: Go eastward and you will find the meteorite, then enter it. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ TYCOON METEOR Items: Phoeniz Down. Enemies: Goblin. Bosses: None. My level: ? lv1. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ Reaching the meteorite the boy will ask Boko, his chocobo, to wait for him while he looks what happened, move eastward and you will find Reina, the daughter of the King of Tycoon taken by two Goblins, the boy will go after the Goblins and you will have to fight them, don't worry, one attack is enough to kill them. After the fight Reina says her name to the boy and asks his name, you have now to name him, there's no defaut name but everyone calls him Bartz then I will call him this way to. Reina says that she would like to do something to show her appreciation but she in a hurry, when she is about to leave both Bartz and Reina hear a voice, move east and you will find a man lying on the ground. They help the man who seems to be with amnesia, he at least knows his name, Galuf. Reina is about to leave when Galuf knowing that Reina is going toward the Wind Shrine offers to go with her since it's his destination too. Bartz says that he prefer to keep traveling with Boko, so they will leave. When you regain control over Bartz move easy and keep going down near the wall always checking the right, so you will find a path which takes to a chest with a Phoenix Down, after that just go back to Boko and leave this place. WORLD MAP: Move west then north. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ HELP ME!!!! Items: None. Enemies: Goblin. Bosses: None.

Afterwards you will see a scene where Galuf wakes up, Bartz will say that the world is changing because of the meteorite that just fell. Reina wakes up and thanks Bartz again, then Bartz says that the road that takes to Tule Village is destroyed and they can't take it, Reina says that must be a way and Galuf agrees, so Bartz decides that he will go with them because his father's death wish was to him travel the world, Galuf says that he will go just because of Reina. After a short conversation you will be back to the world map. WORLD MAP: Move northward and enter the cave. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ PIRATE'S HIDEOUT Items: Leather Cap Enemies: Diablo, Steel Bat, Stroper.

On the next screen you will notice a treasure chest, the way here is only one, so keep moving until your party spot a guy, this guy uses a switch on the way to open a hidden door. Before moving on get a Leather Cap on the chest you saw earlier, then do the same as the guy did and enter the door. On the next screen your party will notice through a hole that there's a ship sailing to the ocean, but how could the ship sail if the wind stopped ?, it's a secret for now. You can use the hole that you saw the ship to exit to the world map, you will be on a dead end but you can at least save your game. Enter the hole again and keep on moving to the west then enter the next hole. Your party here will spot another guy, now they notice that this guy is a pirate 'cause there's some pirate flags here, they hide themselves and realize that the ship they saw earlier must be a pirate ship. Reina asks if the pirates would give them a ride, that's definetively not a good idea so Galuf suggests to sneak on into the ship. When you regain contro you will notice a switch to the left just like the one you pressed earlier, you can't do nothing right now, so move up, there's two pirates in front of two doors, they are sleeping so you can't enter these doors, so your only way now is to go east, to the ship. On the ship move to the wheel and try to take the the ship, but they forgot that there's no wind, so suddenly a crew of pirates will arrive with the Captain Faris, Faris seems to see something familiar with Reina's pendant, Reina then says that she is the princess of Tycoon and beg for forgiveness, your party get shocked, anyway your party will be jailed. On the cell Bartz asks why Reina was going alone to the Wind Shrine, she says that her father just went to the Wind Shrine some time ago and she thinks he must be in danger, the scene shifts to Faris' room, where he still thinks about Reina's pendant which is just like his. By morning your party will be released and Faris will show how they can sail without wind, he calls his friend Hydra, who comes from the sea, he decides then to head for the Wind Shrine. WORLD MAP: Before going to the Wind Shrine I suggest you to go to the Tule Village, just move a little north then west and you will find it. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ TULE VILLAGE Items: Tonic(x2), Tent, Phoenix Down(x2), Leather Shoes(x2), 150GP, 100GP, Ether Enemies: Goblin.

On the southwestern side of the village there's the beginner's house where you can learn the basics of the game, still in the beginner's house you can get a Tonic and a Phoenix down on the pots, an Ether and 100GP on the chests and also a Leather Shoes by defeating a Goblin on the chest in the 2nd floor. If you check the barrels and pots aroound the village you can also get 150GP, a Tonic and a Tent. On the shops I suggest you to buy Leather Caps for everyones and buy all the magic on the shop. By moving all the way to the north you will find a big house, entering it Reina says that she has almost sure that this is Zok's house, her friend, there's no one inside right now so exit it, buy moving northeast you can get a Leather Shoes on a box, and by moving northwest you can get a Phoenix Down on a grass area. Then after doing these things go to the pub after Faris, the mans on the Pub say that the captain is in the second floor, so climb up the stairs but before sit down and enjoy the girl's show, then play the piano 'cause this will be important later. On the second floor you will see Faris sleeping in a room, go near this room and Bartz will check Faris, he will be shocked with Faris' face, Galuf goes take a look too and feels the same as Bartz. Afterwards Faris will wake up and ask your party to leave him alone a little. Try to leave the village and Faris will automatically join you. WORLD MAP: Take your ship and move east then north and you will reach the Wind Shrine. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ WIND SHRINE Items: Tonic(x5), Tent, Leather Cap, Broad Sword, Staff.

Still in this room talk to the man left of the pot and he will give you 5 Tonics, the pot he is near is a recovery pot where you can heal all HP/MP and status ailments, so return here if you want free healing. Then move all the way east and climb up the stair, on the 2nd floor there's a Tent on a chest, get it and enter the door, inside the room save your game on the SAVE POINT, then enter the next door. On the next screen climb up the stair to the right and get a Leather Cap, now move back and this time climb up the stair to the left, you will be at the 3rd floor, follow the narrow corridor and you will find 2 doors and an entrance in the middle, but there's an enemy guarding this entrance, so before fighting it get the Broad Sword on the door to the left and equip it on Galuf, there is nothing on the right door, so let's battle. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- Wingrapter 250 1 None 0 Phoenix Down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A very easy battle, just have everybody use physical attacks and heal using Tonics if needed, his Air Wing attack can cause about 25 HP of damage but he probably won't have time enough to use it more than once, so in three or four turns you will defeat him. After the battle climb up through the now-open-path and you will reach the 4th floor, here by searching the bottom right part of the floor you will find a secret path leading to a chest with a Staff, then go up to the Wind Crystal room. On the Crystal Room you will see that the Wind Crystal is broken, darn, that's why the wind stopped, a little scene will play where the crystals give their essences to the four warriors in order to protect the remaining crystals and prevent the evil from returning, so Faris will receive the essence of Fire, Reina will receive the essence of Water, Galuf will receive the essence of Earth and Bartz the Wind essence, suddenly the King of Tycoon appears and says to Reina to protect the other crystals 'cause you four are the chosen ones. After that he will disappear mysteriously, afterwards your party will receive six crystal shards with the power of ancient warriors, you can now use the following jobs: Knight, Monk, Blue Mage, Thief, Black Mage and White Mage. So a warp will appear beyond the altar, take it to exit the shrine, before you will see an explanation about the Ability System. WORLD MAP: You now can use some of the jobs on FF5, a good thing to do would be put Reina as White Mage, so she can now use the magic you bought at Tule Village, Faris as a Black Mage, she will have magic too, Galuf as a Knight and Bartz as a Blue Mage(just until you learn the ability "Learning"), then exchange to a Monk, these are just suggestions. So once done go back to the Tule Village. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ THE RETURN TO TULE VILLAGE Items: None. Enemies: None. Bosses: None.

At the middle of the night Bartz will wake up and go outside, he will start to think about his parents and you will see some flashbacks of his father's last words before going to protect the crystals. Afterwards Bartz will enter again and Zok will come to talk to him, he gives the key of the canal to Bartz, what he said was a lie just to protect Reina from the danger, so he asks Bartz to protect her. By morning try to leave the town and Faris will join you again, he will tell his crew to leave her 'cause he wants to go with the others. WORLD MAP: Go to your ship and you will see a scene where everybody decides to protect the other crystals once they are the chosen ones, so move just east and you will enter the canal. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ TORNA CANAL Items: None.

Here your way is pretty simple and you can't get lost, move your ship until you find a whirlpool, Faris says that Hydra can't hold on for much time and they will end up being sucked. Your ship is about to sunk so a boss fight starts. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- Karl Boss 650 3 Bolt 5 Tent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An easy battle, his only attack that can be a problem is an attack that drops the HP of one character to 1, just have your black mage cast Bolt, your white mage heal your wounds and the others attacking, monks can help you a lot here, having a party of four black mages here can make the fight even easier, cast Bolt with everybody for two turns and he's gone. After the battle Hydra will help your party sacrificing herself and letting the ship free, Faris tries to go after Hydra but Bartz and Galuf hold her. Afterwards you will see a scene with Bartz and Galuf wondering how Faris is, Reina tries to cheer up Faris. So your ship has no longer Hydra to pull and it will sail without destination until you arrive at... ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ SHIP GRAVEYARD Items: Flail, Tent, 990 GP, Tonic, Phoenix Down(x2), Antidote(x2), World Map.

When you reach an area with water they decide to go through it, climb down through the stair and get to another stair on the water. On the next screen get 990 GP on the pirate box, now enter on the door up ahead and get a Phoenix down on the water, then come back and enter the other door just below. Climb down the stairs in the sequence, pick up a Tonic no the chest and exit through the stair up ahead, then climb down another stair and your party will reach a non-wet room, so they decide to make a fireplace to dry their clothes. Bartz and Galuf try to bring Faris near the fireplace too, then when they see Faris' face they get shocked, FARIS IS A GIRL!!!!!, after a funny custscene Faris explains that she was hidding it because she was found and raised by pirates and if they knew that she is a woman they wouldn't take her seriously. Afterwards your party will sleep on the well come beds and by morning you will have control over them again. Take the other door and save your game on the SAVE POINT, then keep going up and you will be outside the ship, you're now on the other half of the broken ship. Move down through the wooden platforms and rocks to reach another broken ship, inside of it you can get the World Map a Phoenix Down and two Antidotes. Outside the ship move east through the rocks and you will find half of a ship, open the chest and the rest of the ship will appear, move up through the rocks and you will finally reach land. There you seem to have company, suddenly Bartz's mother will appear and call him, the King of Tycoon appears too and call for Reina, who goes, Faris goes after Reina too, so a little girl appears and asks for Galuf, this girl seems to by his grand daughter. Suddenly Siren appears, it was just an illusion but as Galuf lost his memories he wasn't affected by the spell, so Galuf will wake the others and the fight will begin. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- Siren 900 2 Holy*, Fire* 5 Bronze Shield. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This boss is really easy, she will start in the humam form, keep attacking with everybody and have your white mage heal anyone how needs it. Afterwards Siren will turn to her undead form and start using the squeeze attack that can damage you up to 80 HP, so heal after it. Now that she is undead you can cast Cure with your white mage and it will do a lot of damage, also use Fire will damage her about 180 HP, so keep using this pattern and you will win. After the battle the party will help Galuf for saving their skins, so exit through the upper way.

Once done with the items speak with the girl just below the pub and she will say that the town of Walz is located south of Kerwin beyond the sea and as there's wind to use ships you should think about another way of reaching there, she says that there is a machine that amplifies the power of the Water Crystal too. Now talk to the girl in front of the inn and she will say that her husband saw a dragon flying toward the North Mountais but no one believes him, she says that he is upstairs. Enter the Inn and there don't forget to play the piano, this is the second, then go upstairs and you will find the man, the man confirms that he saw a dragon going to North Mountain so Reina asks how were the dragon and with the answer she realizes that this is her father's dragon. Suddenly Bartz has an idea, if they can't reach Walz by sea they can go by air, so they decide to move toward the North Mountain. Buy new equipments and all new magic before moving. WORLD MAP: From Kerwin move north east through the forest and you will reach the North Mountain. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ NORTH MOUNTAIN Items: Phoenix Down, Soft.

You will be outer part of this mountain, the way is pretty simple, so keep on moving until you reach a bridge, pass the bridge and enter the cave but be sure to not touch the flower because they are poisonous. On this screen there's a SAVE POINT, so don't forget to save your game here, then enter the next cave. Make your way westward and Reina finds her father's helmet, suddenly a poisonous arrow hits Reina who falls down, then a woman called Magissa appears saying that she was looking for a dragon but found something even better. Bartz wonders why she was after a dragon so Magissa says that Dragon's horn are very valuable and she could become rich. Faris tries to go after Reina but ground falls almost killing her, so she does a bridge in a record time allowing the others to pass, so the fight begins. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- Magissa 650 8 None 6 Power Drink. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Faltzer 850 8 None - Whip. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reina will start the battle poisoned, so don't forget to cure her fast. Magissa isn't really that tough, her only attack that can bring some problem is Aero but I think you can prevent this by using the Mute magic. So keep attacking her and have your white mage cast Protes on everybody 'cause this will help later, then after sometime she will call Faltzer, a guy that is a little tough but with the Protes on everybody you will be safe, have everybody attack them and your black mage cast Bolt, heal if necessary, after some turns they will die. After the battle enter the next cave and you will be on the mountain's summit, there you will find the dragon near some poisonous flowers, the flowers are poisonous to humans but seem to be a remedy for dragon wounds, Reina takes some flowes and asks Faris to give the dragon, Faris does it and the dragon get healed but Reina falls down poisoned. The dragon somehow heals Reina who thanks the dragon, so they decide to ride the dragon toward Walz, but Bartz seems to not like much high places.

On the house left of the entrance there's a Silver Glasses, to reach this house you need to go through the water, there's nothing more to do in the town so move to the castle. Once in the castle you can do some things, you can get the first really good summon, "Shiva" but you should be at least on level 13, for more info take a look on the "Side Quests" section. Search through the castle but avoidind entering the dungeon 'cause you are history if you ever encounter a Harpy. You can get 490 GP a Phoenix Down and a Tent on the storeroom that can be reached through the 2nd floor. Once done go ask the King about the Crystal, Reina will ask him to stop amplifying the Water Crystal or else it will end up shattering, the King says that he can't do it 'cause the townspeople wouldn't accept it. So suddenly the castle starts to shake and a scene shows another meteorite falling, this time west of the Walz Tower, the King orders to assemble soldiers and head to the Walz Tower.

This tower is very easy and without much of problem to reach its top, just be sure to search walls, fall on holes and climb some wallls, on your way you will find the King who asks you to protect the Crystal, also you will find a Silk Robe, a Silver Armband an Ether and a Maiden's Kiss before reaching the Crystal Room. There you will find Garula who is now mad, so a fight begin. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- Garula 1,200 3 None 5 Potion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This guy can be very tough battle, his main attack is the physical that does a lot of damage, so you should cast Protes on your party, then keep attacking with your powerful characters, like monks and knights, and casting Bolt with your black mage, heal if necessary and you should win this battle. After the battle the Crystal will shatter, a soldier who is at the room tries to leave the room but he falls wounded, he asks Glauf for forvigeness and calls him Lord, Galuf asks if he knows him and who he is, but the soldier dies. You can now get new jobs by getting the Crystal shards, the new jobs are: Berserker, Sorcerer, Time Mage, Red Mage and Summoner. Don't bother about the last shard that you coudn't get now, you can't get it right now. Suddenly the tower starts to shake and is sinking on the sea, your party tries to exit the tower but they coudn't, suddenly Hydra appears and rescue them on the sea, She takes them to the shore and leaves, Faris think Hydra used her last powers to rescue and she is about to die, so she thanks Hydra. WORLD MAP: You will be on the world map, go to Walz castle and talk to the King, he says that the Fire Crystal is in danger too and you should go to Karnak. Do it, enter the Walz Meteor just on the same place Hydra left you and you will take a warp to another meteor, exit and follow west to find the Kingdom of Karnak. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ KINGDOM OF KARNAK Items: None.

Afterwards you will be told that this guy is Cid, the man who did the Crystal amplifier, he says that he was took to the prison because he tried to stop the machine 'cause it would shatter the Crystal. Suddenly the Chancellor appears and says that Cid was right, but he stopped the machinery and even then the Crystal is still losing its power, so Cid says that it must be the Fire Ship that is draining the Crystal Power, he accepts to help the Chancellor but he will need your party's help, Cid says that he will be waiting for you at the Fire Ship. Leave the castle, you can't get the item nor in the town neither in the castle 'cause there's fire blocking the paths. So exit to the world map.

On the next screen take the Phoenix Down then enter the next door that leads to another elevator, take it. On the next screen there's only one way, through the ventilation hole, so take it.

There's nothing good on the hole #1 and the hole #2 is your main way so skip them for now and enter the #3 hole, you will be taken to a chest containing a Thief's Glove, then make your way back to the four holes and this time take the hole #4, don't enter the door 'cause this why your way back, make your way through the other way and get the Green Beret, now make your way back. Finally take the hole #2, when you exit move to the stair and keep going until you finf an switch, press it and get the Moon Ring, then move back and this time go through the door.

The it will start to change between forms, his only form that can bring some problem is when he turns to a hand, it can attack you with Blaze and damage you about 100 HP to everybody and also 'cause your spells won't work on him, so keep healing your party and when he turns to human again finish him with all you have. After the battle the Queen Karnak will be back to normal, she says that there's an evil force that's trying to break the crystals, that's the same force that just possessed her. After that move through the hole to the Crystal Room, there the Fire Crystal, a scene will play, I prefer to let you see it by yourself, so after the Crystal have broken you will be on the Karnak Castle. ˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘˘ ESCAPE FROM BURNING CASTLE Items: Elixir(x6), 2,000 GP(x2), Shuriken, Ribbon, Esuna, Lightining Skill, Elf Cloak, Hunting Knife.

If you check the upper floors you can heal your party on a recovery spring(pot), there's also a possessed book on the higher floor, it is just a normal fight, so there's no need to do it. Then on the main floor go down through the door to the left, here there's a little puzzle before you have your way clean, so follow this: Move ahead and a path will open, then check the upper left hole and another path will open, go through the holes and climb up a stair then check a thing like-door, now check the wall all to the right then climb down the stair, check the booksheld near the black point and your way will open. On the next screen get an Ether on a chest in the right side then enter the door below, climb down a stair then climb up another, check the bookshelf and a hole will open, follow this path until you find a book, where a summon is sealed. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- Ifrit 3,000 22 Water, Ice 5 Fire Skill. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This battle is not much hard, Ifrit's attacks that can bring some problem are Fire 2, that he will cast on a single target dealing about 300 HP damage, and Blaze which will hit everybody with about 100 HP of damage, so make sure to have a white mage to heal your party after these attacks. So your party here can easily be three black mages and a white mage(or summoner with white magic), Ice 2 will damage him with about 800 HP and Shiva with 500 HP, so just keep your HPs above 300 and keep using this pattern and you should win. After the battle move back and this time enter through the door. Here there's a bookshelf that will try to stop you but as you have Ifrit it will let you through, then climb down the stair to the left and get a Ninja Suit on a chest that you saw earlier for sure.

Here move up and the way will open, then climb up the stair and check the book, it's a possessed book too, so kill it or just run away to reveal a new hole, enter through this hole and save your game on the SAVE POINT, then keep going on and you will find Mid(Cid's grandson) he is reading some books, then some books attack you. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- Biblos 3,600 24 Fire, Holy 7 Hard Body. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This battle requires more than the last one, here the weakness is Fire, so keep using Fire 2 on him, have two black mages, a white mage and one summoner, so keep using Fire 2 and Ifrit, then heal your wounds, Biblos' physical attacks can easily reduce your HPs to single digits(if don't kill you), so keep track of your HP and you will win. After the battle Bartz gets mad 'cause Mid did not even noticed that you were fighting, after the conversation Mid will take you back to the main floor through a short cut, when he knows that Cid is giving up on his work he goes after Cid. Now move back the the Pub at Karnak Town and talk to Cid, when Mid arrives he convinces Cid to keep working on, so Mid says that they can now make the Fire Ship sail even without the Crystal 'cause he found a book which describes how to do it, so they decide to do it for you.

Go forward until you reach the forest area again. Here go up and get 4,900 GP, then go right and go up through a narrow path and get a Phoenix Down. Now go all the way to the right and you will find another suspicious tree, check it to open another way through the tree. Cross this path until the next forest area. Here get a Cottage to the left and a Giant Drink to the right, then go up and save your game at the SAVE POINT, using a Tent is very helpful here. Now go up and get an Elixir and a Mace, then move to the left and the the Forest will start to burn, your party gets stuck because all ways are covered by the fire, suddenly a Moogle comes from hole in the ground, he/she seems to want to help you. Enter the hole and the party decides to wait for the fire to put out, heal your wounds on the recovery spring and wait for some time, the Moogle will let you pass. The flames have put out, get the Flame Shield and go to the left, get an Ash and a Flame Saber. Before going up, exit the forest through the bottom part and use a Tent then save your game on the world map. Now enter the forest again and go up, the party will find the Elder Tree, that probably is the last seal that is holding X-Death. The Elder Branch will shine and open the way, cast Float on all the party and enter the tree, a boss battle will start. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- Crystal(x4) 7,777 77 Varies 15 None. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This battle will be very tough and you will probably get killed once or twice before winning. You will fight the four elemental crystals, and each one absorbs a different element. The bottom one absorbs earth attacks, the top one absorbs fire, the left one absorbs wind and the right absorbs ice. Then have at least two summoners or white/black mages that can summon Titan. Have also someone that can cast Cure 3 and Fire 3, Then keep using Titan with the summoners and healing the party if needed, you should have a samurai or a knight equipped with the Blood Sword and able to use $Toss. The crystals can use strong attacks like Fire 3 and Aero 3, so keep track of your HP. You should have noticed that the Titan will heal instead of damaging the bottom crystal, but it doesn't matter since you're damaging three of the four crystals. Then after killing three crystals attack the last one with Fire 3, $Toss and physical attacks. Anyway if you're having problems with this battle, have a party of 4 samurais, use $Toss with everybody and you will win this battle in one turn, but will lose a lot of GP. After the battle X-Death appears and congratulates the party for releasing the last seal that was keeping him sealed. He uses the power of the crystals to attack the party, meanwhile you will see a scene where Krile feels that Galuf is in danger, then, she appears and hits X-Death, but it only stops him for a short period of time, he knocks Krile out and starts to attack the party again. Galuf somehow is able to stand against X-Death and his power breaks one of the crystals. Then a battle starts. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- X-Death 24,000 ?? ???? 0 None. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this battle Galuf will fight X-Death alone, X-Death will attack Galuf with his most powerfull attacks but even with 0 HP Galuf still keeps fighting. After some time X-Death will run away and Galuf will fall. After the battle Galuf is too wounded that he can't resist, it's a miracle that he could fight X-Death at this conditions. Before dying Galuf asks Krile to fight alongside the party and put an end in X-Death. Krile receives all abilities, stats and everything Galuf had, so she decides to join the party.

Then go back and enter climb up the stair below, on the second floor get a Diamond Shield and an Ether before climbing up the next stair. Now it's the third floor. Keep going until you reach an open area, it's a dead end but the party thinks it may be a mirage, then Galuf and Zeza with their last powers open the way to the real castle. Now make your way until you find a switch, press it to open a wall that allows you to get an Ice Shield. Then go down and enter the next door. It's the fifth floor now, don't lose the count! Move up equipped with the "Secret" ability, it will allow you to see some shortcuts, get an Ether and go to the next floor. Now you're in a floor with lava pits, to avoid the damage while you're walking on the lava cast the Float spell on all the party. Then go down and enter the hidden path to the right, get a Gale Bow and come back to the right way. Get an Elixir and take the next stair, here go up and step on the skull mark on the ground, it will activate a mobile platfor, if you press the action button on the right time you can get a Kotetsu and a Blizzard Sword, can also proceed to your destination, but if you do wrong you will have to fight a monster, then try to master the timing.

None 11 None. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For an easy fight, have a summoner cast Shoat, but if you like the hard way, it is ok. You should have noticed that Carbuncle has Reflect on him, so most of the magic will be reflected if you cast on him, then, cast Reflect on someone of your party and have him reflect your magic on Carbuncle, Titan here works well. With the other characters keep attacking him physically, use Shuriken or $Toss to make it even easier, anyway, you will defeat him. After the battle your party receives another summon magic, the Carbuncle. Now go again to the trap floor and step on the bottom square, it will make your main way open, don't lose time and go there. Save your game in the SAVE POINT and climb up the stair, check the chest and you will notice that it's empty, now climb up the stair to the right and get a Partisan and a Magic Shuriken, move back and check the empty chest again, and Gilgamesh shows up. --- NAME -------- HP ------ LEVEL --- WEAKNESS ---- ABP ------ ITEMS ----------- Gilgamesh ?????? 53 None 0 Excalipur. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A very easy fight, Gilgamesh is a fool to believe that the stupid and weak Excalipur Sword would be the legendary and super powerful Excalibur. He will attack you but almost won't hurt you, so choose the best way to defeat him and finish him off. When you defeat him X-Death will send Gilgamesh to the N-Zone, ha ha ha ha!!!! Now climb up the stair and you will find X-Death, who finally reveals what he is planning, he wants to return the world to its original form, when the two world were one. Without much talk, a fight begin. ---
