No battles in Phoenix Tower:
Use the following door order: left, left, right, left,
left, right, left, left, right, left, left, right, right, left,
right, left, left, right, and up.
Finding Shiva:
Go to Waltz Castle and walk into the water on the roof.
Find the large waterfall, walk into the middle of it, and continue
to walk up the stairs until you see a glowing ball. Walk up and
talk to the ball. Fight and After defeating Shiva you will get her as a summon.
Finding Ramuh:
Get the airship and fly to Easterly Falls, up in the
northwest corner of the map. Walk around in the forest until you
encounter Ramuh. Fight and After defeating Ramuh you will get him as a summon.
Hydra Summon:
In World 3, use the airship to return to the pirate's
base in the middle of the mountains. As you enter, Faris will
appear and run to the right side of the base. He sees an illusion
of Hydra. You will then get to summon Hydra, who uses the very
useful attack, Thunder.
Hint Golem Summon:
In the Valley of Dragons, get into a few random battles
until the monsters you fight are a Skelesaurus, Dragon Zombie
and Golem. The other monsters will turn on Golem and ask for help.
If you kill the two monsters before they kill Golem, Golem will
praise you and join your party as a summon. You have to use the
Golem item in order for him to join (just like Ramuh).
Shoat Summon:
In World 2 with the submarine you will find a tunnel
underwater at the bottom part of the northwestern-most continent.
Go through the tunnel and get into a fight. Shoat is difficult
to defeat. His only attack does not miss and turns your characters
into stone. The tunnel (outside in the water) is a yellow circle
in the rock wall. The tunnel is also a good place to level up.
Mirage Town:
Get the airship and fly to Cresent Island. Head to
the middle of the joined continent, and land next to a forest
there. Walk around in the forest until it seems you have gotten
into a battle. The screen will be fuzzy instead of the normal
swirl for starting a battle. This town has extremely good weapons,
6 level six magic spells, and great armor. There are two shops
in every store, so search around the town.
Healing Staff:
Once you have the dragon, fly to Tycoon Castle and
talk to the Chancellor. Then, go to the treasure room on the east
side of the castle and talk to the Chancellor again to enter.
Once there, you can find the very useful Healing Staff, which
restores HP rather than taking it away. It is magic though --
do not use it on someone with Reflect.
Kornago's Gourd:
In World 2 (Galuf's World), have a Trainer catch a
Kornago (the giant frog monster) before entering the Kelb Village.
After entering Kelb, go to the lower left corner of town and examine
the well. An old man will jump out of the well and offer you the
Gourd for the Kornago you caught and 10,000 GP. The Kornago's
Gourd increases the probability of catching a wild monster. REMEMBER:
You must go through with the sequence with Lord Kelga before getting
the Gourd.
Sealed Weapons:
To get all of the weapons, place the Lithograph on
the sparkling platform. You will now be able to break the seal
on three of the weapons. Pick up the Lithograph, put it down again,
and break three more seals. Repeat this until all the weapons
are collected.
Elixir:
You can steal an Elixir from the Zuu outside the castle
with the Fire Crystal. This can give you an early advantage in
the game.
Mime crystal shard:
Go into the water in the third world, below the Phoenix
Tower. Transform the boat into the submarine and go into the tower.
Since it is under water, you will only have seven minutes to get
to the bottom and return. Equip Dash and run to the bottom. Once
there, you will see the crystal shard. A monster will warn you,
but answer "No". He will mimic you. To win, do nothing
as he says.
