- Its....

- F I N A L F A N T A S Y 3 F A Q ! !
- Version 4.0 (Final Version)
- INTRO:
- Sometime in February of '95, Scott Tengelin started a thread on this
- newsgroup involving hidden characters in FF3, which were made up.
- Since there are so many people out there who have done everything
- there is to do in FF3, yet still enjoy the game, the thread became
- rather popular. People not only came up with ideas for secret hidden
- characters, but also places to get to from other video games and
- exciting new endings. I posted to the thread and suggested that
- someone make up a Bogus FAQ, which would include all this humorous
- and exciting stuff. Then I decided, what the heck, why not me?
- Scott and I gathered up all the stuff we'd saved from the thread's
- postings, and I organized it, forming a 17K file, and posted it.
- Lots of people posted more ideas to the thread and some sent me ideas
- directly, so I continued to add them in, all the while organizing,
- improving, editing, and adding lots more stuff. In addition to the
- original version, I posted Version 2 (45K), Version 2.5 (56K),
- Version 3.0 (73K), and Version 3.5 (95 freakin' K), as well as this
- version, which is about that size. This is, in theory, the final
- version of the FAQ (Version 4.0), and I'm finishing it up because it
- takes waaaaaay too much time to write and edit one of these things.
- (Though I am planning to hang on to it so I can repost or send copies
- by request.) I'd like to thank everyone I've listed under the
- writers/ compilers section for sending me ideas to improve stuff and
- more entries, mostly for the Hidden Characters section. (I'd also
- like to be thanked (or thank me) for fitting all this stuff in and
- putting it together, fixing all or most of the spelling mistakes, and
- adding a lot of neat stuff to some of the endings, even though it all
- was, at least to a certain extent, a labor of love.) Anyway, if you
- see mistakes in the FAQ or anything, you can still write me at
- comberia@wam.umd.edu so I can have them fixed in any repost or copies
- I send out. I'd also like to hear comments about what you liked or
- didn't like about this FAQ, so go ahead and send them. Again, I'm
- not planning to add more new stuff or make any more big revisions;
- this file is really long and really complex already. (In fact it
- takes an hour or two just to read through it, let alone edit it.)
- Well, without further ado, the final version of The Completely Bogus
- Final Fantasy III FAQ!!:
- HIDDEN CHARACTERS:
- Ultros: Take the Cross to the Colosseum. Bet the Fireball (don't
- worry;you'll get it back) and you will fight Ultros. He'll only
- join you after thebattle _if_ you have the Cross.
- ULTROS: "Blue... eight arms... sharp teeth... a smelly octopus with a
- heart of gold."
- Ultros's commands are:
- Fight
- Magic
- Tentacle
- Ink
- Item
- Low HP attack: X-Tentacles (Tentacles surround the enemy and attack
- it.)
- Kefka: To get Kefka to join your party, use the Illumina Sword on the
- GemBox; it'll break open and reveal the Amulet of True Light. Kefka
- willsuddenly appear in front of you, repent for all he has done, and
- head off to your airship.
- KEFKA: "Once a follower of the dark, now a student of light. His
- laughstrikes terror in all."
- Kefka's Commands are (to start):
- Y-Fight
- X-Magic
- Special
- Twin
- Item
- Y-Fight is similar to X-Magic; Kefka attacks once with a regular
- blow, then attacks with a special weapon, which Muddles, Poisons, or
- Dooms an enemy. Special makes Kefka attack with Grand Chorus, which
- gives all enemies a random status change such as death and quartr.
- If you have Kefka and Kakef together in the same party, they can use
- the Twin attack. First, it rains 2 X-Meteos on the enemy party, then
- it does a spell similar to Merton, and finally it casts a spell
- similar to Ultima. Unless _both_ twins have the Economizer equipped,
- the spell costs them each 200 MP.
- Kefka's status screen contains these hidden attacks/ special
- abilities:
- Call (randomly calls one of the 3 statues to attack enemies)
- Havok Wing
- Laugh
- Rage
- SwdTech
- KefkaWave (similar to a Dark Knight's "Darkness" attack)
- Light of Judgement
- LeoZ (Kefka briefly morphs into Gen. Leo and does Shock.)
- Laugh makes all enemies mindless slaves, and they either join you or
- fight themselves for the rest of the battle. He uses this
- automatically in the Colosseum against party members you find there.
- When you use the Light of Judgement, all targets take 9999 damage
- regardless. Unfortunately, this only works inside towers.
- Kefka's X-Magic spells include:
- Fallen One
- Moo: Kefka turns opponents into cows.
- You Lose: Doom spell for the whole enemy group.
- Double: Kefka gets 2 turns, every turn, for the rest of the battle.
- Kefka's Rages include:
- Fighter: Powerful Pearl attack.
- Bl.Belt: Multiple hits, not Magic related.
- B.Mage: Does random Black spell from FF1.
- W.Mage: Does random White spell from FF1.
- Thief: Steals with a success rate of 100%.
- R.Mage: Does totally random spell from FF1.
- Kefka's SwdTechs are as follows:
- Havok wing is Swdtech 9.
- Revenger is Swdtech 10.
- Kefka's Laugh is Swdtech 11.
- Grand Chorus (also Kefka's Special attack) is Swdtech 12.
- SwdTech 13 is a Dummy SwdTech, because it's been dummied out of the
- game.
- KefkaBolt is Swdtech 14. It's like AuraBolt, but it does 9999 damage
- 8 times.
- There is also an unnumbered SwdTech called God!. Kefka can learn it
- if you shoot the Black Gun at the White Gun.
- Low HP attack: Magittack (Kefka dons Magitek armor and attacks all
- enemies.)
- Note: If Kefka joins your party, it obviously changes the ending.
- You can still get the Sabin ending, the GoneGone ending, or the M.
- Bison ending, but you can't get the Erdrick ending. However, if you
- don't try to get any of these you'll just end up with the
- Espers-Don't-Die Ending, and you'll win after you kill the third tier
- of the Final Boss. (This is quite a letdown, but it's an easier way
- to get the Espers-Don't-Die Ending.)
- Kakef: (Kefka's good twin) You get Kakef on Gau's father's roof, but
- you have to have Cyan or Celes fix his chair first. There will be a
- BIG reunion scene if you put him and Kefka in a party together.
- KAKEF: "Is he familiar? A stranger? Or just another brother of
- another character? Who can say?"
- Kakef's commands are:
- Fight
- Disappear (only with Invisibility Ring)
- Magic
- Twin
- Item
- Disappear works outside of battle, too. Kakef is highly vulnerable
- against magic after disappearing, but he can walk through walls
- inside castles and some caves.
- Low HP attack: Storm (Similar to Fallen One; Kakef knocks an enemy
- down to less than ten hit points.)
- Note: Depending on which ending you get, Kakef may or may not
- actually be an imposter. (See the Ultra Combo ending.)
- Cid: Put Locke and Kefka in a party together, then go to the Solitary
- Island and talk to Cid. You'll fight Ol' Grandad. Have Locke Steal,
- and you will get the Razor. Cid will grow facial hair, change his
- clothes, and learn the Peep command. He will then admit to building
- the airships and blow himself up. Go to the Dwarven underground and
- find him by the nurse.
- CID: "Technology is his servant, machines are his voice in the
- world."
- Cid's commands are:
- Fight
- Peep
- Repair (sort of like Health, but it works much better on machines
- thanpeople.)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Mecha Drop (Cid morphs into a cybernetic creature and
- Suplexes an enemy.)
- Baram: Use the Vanish-Fire28 (learned from Siggy Esper) trick on
- Intangir to knock him out. While he's unconscious use the Holy
- Scissors to remove his mask (mentioned in the Book of Secrets). It's
- Baram! If Shadow is in the party, he'll agree to join you as soon as
- you feed him 22 pieces of coral. If you sleep at an inn with Baram
- in your party, he has four different fantasy dreams about Mog.
- BARAM: "He comes and goes like the wind. His name is known, but his
- past is hidden."
- Baram's commands are:
- Fight
- Mock (becomes Insult when equipped with Paladin Loafers)
- Steal (he's a thief, remember)
- Item
- The Mock command contains 12 insults which Baram learns with
- level-ups. You can change it to Insult if you equip him with the
- Paladin Loafers, which increases its power.
- Low HP attack: Red Spiller (Baram jumps at the enemy and attacks with
- aknife; similar to Celes's Spin Edge)
- Ken, Ryu, Jax, Akuma:
- (Hard way): If you take Relm into the Colosseum and bet the Black
- Belt, you get Ken. But if you take Celes and do the same thing, you
- get Ryu. Jax appears in the cheap seats of the Colosseum after you
- bet the RealMustache; you can fight him if you bet the Scorpion Doll.
- To convince Jax to join you, send Kefka in when you bet the Scorpion
- Doll, he'll use his Laugh command and Jax will join you. Akuma is
- also sitting in the stands, four rows down and two seats over from
- Jax. He'll challenge you to a Hadoken contest in the Colosseum if
- you use Ryu as your fighter and bet the Purple Belt. Win, and he
- joins you.
- (Easy way): Go to the Colosseum with Cid in your party. Bet a weak
- item to make Chupon appear. The fighter will get sneezed out of the
- arena. Bet another weak item and fight Chupon again. (Remember, you
- _want_ to be sneezed.) Finally, after five tries of this, Cid gets
- disgusted and makessome cold medicine. (It turns out Chupon only
- had a cold! That's why he's been sneezing!) Send Cid into the arena
- after he says he's made the medicine, and he'll give it to Chupon
- automatically. Chupon will be so grateful, he will become Cid's best
- buddy, and he'll give Cid a big wet kiss. Ken, Ryu, Jax, and Akuma
- will become so angry at the whole business that they'll destroy the
- Colosseum and then join your party. (BTW, take Edgar and Cid into
- the ruined Colosseum, and they'll rebuild it, also adding a trap door
- which leads to the Esper Street Fight Arena.)
- KEN and RYU: "A street fighter with an attitude... Shoryuuuuuu...
- KEN!"
- Ken & Ryu's commands are:
- Punch
- Kick
- Shoryuken
- Hadoken (only when equipped with Fireball)
- Item
- Low HP attacks: Super Combo (Just like their super combos, of course.
- Works with either Punch or Kick.)
- JAX: "An interdimensional cop, ready to stop all who break the law."
- Jax's commands are:
- Fight
- Fatality (sort of like Doom, either it kills or it misses)
- Ground Slam (hits all enemies on the ground)
- Wave
- Item
- Low HP attack: Gotcha Grab (Same as in MK2, but always hits 4 times.)
- AKUMA: "Perhaps just another powerful warrior, perhaps the devil
- himself."
- Akuma's commands are:
- Fight
- Uncurse (works outside battle too)
- Mimic (particularly effective with Ryu or Ken)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Devil's Grin (The screen turns white and you see giant
- eyesand a mouth appear vaguely. You then hear Kefka's laugh, and
- the screen returns tonormal. Hits all enemies.)
- Jago: If Sabin or GoneGone becomes the last guy, you'll be able to
- get Jago. (His purpose and location will depend on which last guy it
- is.)
- Sabin Ending: You'll find Jago meditating on the top of Mt. Zozo.
- Jago can get you straight to Sabin from anywhere in Sabin's Tower
- with his spin kick. Just get in a fight and have Jago cast Hangon.
- Then have Jago Spin. Poof! You're at Sabin (after a nifty cinema of
- flying by everything in the tower).
- GoneGone Ending: Since you must be in the W.O.B., you'll find Jago
- meditating on the top of Mt. Koltz. Jago can get you straight to
- GoneGone from anywhere in the W.O.B. with his spin kick. In fact,
- this is the only known way to reach GoneGone (except through the
- Ultra Combo ending).
- JAGO: "One combo-bustin' ninja with a serious attitude!"
- Jago's commands are:
- Fight
- Combo (gets anywhere from 3 to 35 hits)
- Spin Kick (instantly go to the boss of the area you're in)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Car Drop (Jago sits down and meditates, then a car
- falls onone enemy.)
- Luigi: Luigi is sitting on the third level of the Ancient Castle,
- before you find Porom and Palom. Talk to him, and he'll stop eating
- his pasta and join you. There is also a Dark Luigi, which you can
- find and defeat in Wario's Castle in WarioLand.
- Porom and Palom: They're standing in the Third level of the Ancient
- Castle(the switch is 8 steps south of the King's throne). If you
- talk to them,they say something about a time warp. (They don't join
- your party.) If you take the path on the right in the time machine,
- you'll end up at the Mario search game, Mario is Missing. If you
- take the road on the left instead, you'll see Cecil's greatgrandson,
- who will give you a clue about finding Cecil. (He says that
- gathering all the Paladin equipment will summon Cecil, and that Cecil
- will be waiting for you in the Colosseum.) Farther along the left
- path is the entrance to Baron in the Overworld of FF2.
- Mario: After you find Luigi, you will be able to play Mario is
- Missing. At the end, you will have Mario (duh).
- MARIO: "A star in his own right, a plumber with power and an
- attitude."
- LUIGI: "A koopa-stomping plumber with an appetite for pasta!"
- Mario and Luigi's commands are:
- Stomp
- Fireball (only if Fireball is equipped, of course)
- Jump (also breaks ceilings)
- Item
- Low HP attacks: Hammer Toss (Works with Fireball command. Mario
- morphs from small Mario into Hammer Brother Mario and tosses hammers,
- attacking 2enemies. Luigi does the same thing.)
- Toad: Really hard to get. Bet the Dirk at the Colosseum and beat
- Chupon, Ultros, or Darth Vader. You will win the Mushroom. Take this
- to Gau'sFather's House with Edgar in your party. Fix his stove, then
- use the Mushroom while in the house to bake a Mushroom Souffle (only
- Edgar knows how to make this). Take the Mushroom Souffle back to the
- Colosseum, bet it, and you will fight Toad! After the fight, he will
- join you just like Shadow did. (Note: If you destroy the Colosseum,
- you can still get him after it's been rebuilt.)
- TOAD: "He squeaks when stepped on, and has the strength of thirty
- mushrooms."
- Toad's commands are:
- Stomp
- Throw
- Cook Souffle (heals party members)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Buddy Tosser (throws another party member at enemies;
- throws himself when alone)
- Cecil: To get Cecil, you will have to find and uncurse 8 cursed
- items. (Remember, there are two of each cursed item, and only one of
- each can be uncursed. Akuma's Uncurse command works well.) The
- uncursable cursed items you must find are:
- Cursed Ring: Steal from creatures in Kefka's or Sabin's Tower.
- Cursed Boots: Hidden in the Fanatic's Tower.
- Cursed Helmet: Hidden in the cave to the Sealed Gate; use the Paladin
- Boots to walk over the lava to get to it.
- Cursed Armor: Hidden in Narshe.
- Cursed Rod: In the third level of the Ancient Castle, near Cecil's
- greatgrandson.
- Cursed Sword: Hidden in the Cave after the Esper Street Fight Arena.
- Cursed Loafers: Buy them in a hidden shoe store behind a painting in
- Jidoor.
- Cursed Emerald: After uncursing the other 7 uncursable items, you'll
- be teleported to the crystal chamber on the moon. The 8 crystal will
- thenmerge, become cursed, and turn into an Emerald. Once you
- uncurse the Emerald, Cecil's ghost will return to life, and he'll
- head to the Colosseum. Go there and bet the Emerald. Cecilwill
- then join your party if you defeat him.
- CECIL: "The hero of another age, one who has seen both light and
- darkness."
- Cecil's commands are:
- Fight
- Paladin Blitz (a powerful Blitz that doesn't require controller
- motions)
- Cover
- White
- Item
- Low HP attack: Royal Break (Sort of a combo of Royal Shock and Tiger
- Break.)
- GesthalZ: After Kefka and Kakef's reunion scene, fly around in the
- airship until you are attacked by GesthalZ, Gesthal's ghost. Use one
- Fenix Down or Revivify on him, and he'll come back to life and join
- your party.
- GESTAHLZ: "Once a powerful emperor, he, too, has seen both light and
- darkness."
- GesthalZ's commands are:
- Fight
- X-Magic
- Command
- Possess
- P. Morph (morphs into a Phantom, similar to Terra's ability)
- Command is a stronger form of control, in which GesthalZ does not
- losecontrol of the target if it gets hit. It only stops if he or it
- dies.
- Low HP attack: Magimasher (GesthalZ casts a powerful spell and the
- screenturns black. Hits all enemies.)
- Zemus: With GesthalZ and Kefka both in your party, cross over into
- the Overworld of FF2 through the time machine in the Ancient Castle.
- Zemus joins your party as soon as you arrive, filling the new place
- for a fifth party member.
- ZEMUS: "Enemy of millions, he has seen the light AFTER the darkness!"
- Zemus's commands are:
- Fight
- Big Bang
- Black Hole
- Black
- White
- Low HP attack: W. Meteo (Zemus jumps to the center of the screen,
- looks tothe sky, and chants the spell. Hits all enemies, usually by
- 9999.)
- Warning: After you build your own airship from the parts at the
- auction, remember to get the Crystal of Flight from under the statue
- in the Ancient Castle so you can go to the Moon, or else the airship
- will crash and you'll be stuck in the Underworld, and you'll lose
- your chance to get Zemus here. However, once you repair the Airship
- and get the Big Whale, you can find him on the Moon.
- Garland (from FFI): He'll appear once you enter WarioLand, on the
- other side of the Esper Street Fight Arena. You have stop him from
- completing his 1000 year time loop. In order to do this, find the
- Mind-Control Helmet that they used on Terra at the beginning (Look
- around Narshe and tap "a" at various walls.) Use it on him, and
- he'll realize that he can't get back to the future, so he'll join
- your team. He can use the Elemental Orbs which are very powerful.
- GARLAND: "The enemy of all, who was lost in time..."
- Garland's commands are:
- Fight
- Warp (his time warp; it takes you back to the beginning of the
- currentbattle)
- Morph (into Chaos, of course)
- Black
- White
- Elements (Elemental Orbs, used like Espers)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Cure4 (Similar to Zemus's. Cures Garland completely.)
- Meltdown: You can get Meltdown from the original version of KI in the
- Cave to the Sealed Gate. (You though they just renamed him Cinder,
- rather than replacing him, didn't you?) He's near the Cursed Helmet.
- MELTDOWN: "He has left to find his freedom as a fire warrior..."
- Meltdown's commands are:
- Fight
- Combo
- Melt (works like the Fire3 spell)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Inferno (Meltdown kneels down and shoots a stream of
- fire from his hands. Hits one enemy.)
- General Leo: Fight Platinum dragons, sometimes they give up a
- Resurrection Potion when they die. Take the potion to Leo's grave;
- he'll return to life and join you. Leo is always equipped with the
- Offering and Atlas Armlet, so his attacks are much stronger than
- expected. You can also revive him with the powered up Phoenix Esper.
- GEN. LEO: "Back with a vengeance (you thought he was dead!), on the
- side of the right!"
- Leo's commands are:
- Fight
- Shock
- Burn (again, it helps to have the Fireball)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Earthquake (Sort of like a Shock super combo move.)
- Maduin: Enter Kefka's Tower through the secret entrance in the back
- with Cid in your party. When you get to the remains of the Magitek
- Research Facility, Cid will use the Tower's equipment to drain the
- Guardian and put the energy back into Maduin. (If you've already
- beaten Guardian, don't worry, because we're talking about the other
- Guardian, which is invincible.) This revives him, and he then joins
- your party.
- MADUIN: "Yet another relative, with yet another tragic story, an
- Esper with great power."
- Maduin's commands are:
- Fight
- C. Wing (Chaos Wing)
- X-Magic
- Item
- Low HP attack: Magicite (Maduin jumps to the center of the screen and
- calls a random Esper.)
- Sigma: After reviving Maduin, a Sentry 274 (Sigma) will appear and
- challenge you at the exit of the room. Once you wear Sigma down,
- he'll call WarMech to help him. If you defeat WarMech, Cid will
- reprogram Sigma, and Sigma willjoin your party. You'll also receive
- the Dryad esper, which teaches you Mana Magic, Blaster, and Sleep.
- SIGMA: "Forged of energy, strength of steel, a robot pal with power!"
- Sigma's commands are:
- Fight
- L. Saber (Light Saber)
- MagiTek
- Item
- Low HP attack: Takedown (Sigma calls his dog to attack.)
- Note: To find the Tower's back entrance, you have to have a member of
- your party equipped with the True Knight (or you can use Cecil's
- Cover if you have him). Walk in a circle around the Tower and you
- will fight various enemies. Make sure one of your characters is Near
- Fatal, so the True Knight (or Cecil) will protect him/her. When the
- True Knight (or Cecil) blocks a blow, he will be knocked off screen.
- Win the fight, and he'll come back with knowledge of the secret
- entrance.
- Mega Man: Leave Kefka's (or Sabin's) Tower after beating the dragons,
- and go back to the Solitary Island. Downstairs is Mega Man, sitting
- where the raft used to be. (He won't be there if Dr. Light has
- already assembled X for you.) If you use his megablaster on
- Brachosaurs without charging it up, you'll get an Economizer each
- time. If you charge his blast up first, you can get a Gem Box or
- Offering instead (50% chance of either).
- MEGA MAN: "Skin of titanium, a rock-and-roll warrior of great
- technology!"
- Mega Man's commands are:
- Shoot
- Charge
- Rush
- Item
- Using Rush calls Mega Man's dog, Rush. It's similar to when Shadow
- calls Interceptor.
- Low HP attack: None.
- Mega Man X: When going through the Magitek Factory, search for a
- secretpassage (it involves jumping off one of the conveyors into a
- bottomless pit) and you will be alone in a room with a chest. Kill
- the monster-in-a-box (Vanish X-zone works) and he'll give you a
- Detached Arm. Give this to Cid (after you revive him in W.O.R.) and
- he'll give you a Rare item, the Textbook
- of Robotics. (If Cid is in
- your party already, you'll automatically receive it from him in a
- short cinema scene.) Let Gau's father read the Textbook (he won't
- unless you fix his stove) and he gives you an Energy Tank and
- suggests meeting his uncle at the Colosseum. Go to the Colosseum and
- bet the Detached Arm; you'll fight Dr. Light. Beat him (it's tough
- since magic doesn't work, but Edgar's Chainsaw and Air Anchor are
- pretty good) and give him the Energy Tank. He takes your Detached
- Arm, goes into the back (storyline... sigh... tap tap tap tingity
- ting ting ting... etc...) and Mega Man X will appear, telling you
- that it was Kefka who took the arm off in the first place and that
- he'd like to assist you in beating that psychopath, Kefka. (Of
- course, if Kefka is in your party, he'll try to kill Kefka right
- there, but your other party members will convince him that Kefka has
- reformed.) Like the other robot characters, he's immune to the
- effects of Ultima.
- MEGA MAN X: "A robot with abilities as diverse as they are powerful."
- Mega Man X's commands are:
- Shoot
- Device
- Rush
- Item
- The Device command allows Mega Man X to use the abilities of the
- bosses,such as Absolute Zero, S. Cross, N. Cross, etc. Mega Man
- will learn theability from a boss if he's in your party and he
- survives the battle. (After a boss fight, he goes up to the
- disintegrating boss and pulls out some sort of sphere and plugs it
- in. Then he has the ability.) Mega Man's WallChange is particularly
- nice. Gogo can use them too; if you find Mega Man and then go to
- Gogo's status screen to set up his commands, you'll see the Device
- command at the very bottom.
- Low HP attack: None.
- Note: You'll be able to get either Megan Man or Mega Man X, depending
- on whether you find the Detached Arm in the chest or not. If you
- don't find the arm in the Magitek Factory, you'll have to find the
- regular Mega Man in Cid's house. You can upgrade him into X by
- finding the four parts hidden all around WarioLand and taking them to
- Dr. Light.
- Luca: After GeshtalZ joins your party, you can go to the Underworld
- in FF2and find Luca, who has become an incredibly powerful caller.
- (She now calls Espers at will.) She's in the throne room of the
- Dwarf castle.
- LUCA: "Mage with links to another world, all creatures heed her
- call."
- Luca's commands are:
- Fight
- Call
- Call Collect (doesn't use MP, but sometimes the Espers refuse)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Moon Prism (similar to Relm's Star Prism)
- Edge: First, get rid of the really rich guy in the Auction House,
- then buy the Pencil for Relm. Go back to the W.O.B. through the
- Opera House with Relm and 2 other people in your party (don't bring
- Gogo). Head north and there will be 4 miniature Atma Beasts waiting
- for you (they've grown up and flown away already if you try to find
- them in the W.O.R.). If you can kill them, a secret passage to the
- airship Falcon will appear. Fly it to Triangle Island and fight
- Intangir. Sketch him while Relm is equipped with the Pencil.
- Thegame won't crash like usual, but instead a whole pack of
- Intangirs will appear on the screen. (You'll see little penciled
- outlines of them.) Relm will yell for help, then Edge will come from
- above and kill an Intangir with the Vanish-Sneak technique, causing
- the rest to flee. He then will join your party. (Or he'll be in
- your airship later if your party's full.) Edge comes equipped with
- two swords that give him a total of 5000 damage, and he knows lots of
- nice Ninja spells.
- EDGE: "A king, a ninja, a king-ninja, a ninja-king! What a guy!"
- Edge's commands are:
- Fight
- Sneak (Becomes Capture when you equip the Thief's Glove.)
- Throw (Becomes Throw Really Hard when you equip him with a javelin.)
- Magic (Ninja magic, of course)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Royal Blitz (powerful ninja lightning attack)
- Erdrick: This can be done near the very beginning of the game, as
- well aslater on. You must find the Turtle's Carrot in the desert
- surroundingFigaro. Take it to the turtle in the cave to South
- Figaro before you fight Kefka. (You can do it after you fight Kefka,
- but if you do, you won't be able to kill Kefka at Figaro Castle).
- Jump over to the door behind the spring and inside you will find
- Erdrick. The next time you meet Kefka, Erdrick will kill him, ending
- the game. Unfortunately, you can't actually use Erdrick in combat;
- he just appears during any scene with Kefka. (This automatically
- gives you the Erdrick ending.)
- Kappa: Let the man at the auction buy all 1,200 of the airship
- pieces. (Luckily, after 15 pieces, the auctioneer sells the other
- 1185 to him atonce.) He builds a whole airship out of the pieces,
- and flies away. (You can also get rid of him by luring him and his
- daughter out into an alley and beating him up.) Thisleaves you to
- buy whatever you want, including the Imp Robot, a.k.a. Kappa. You
- can also now buy a Pencil for Relm, that she can use on Intangirs,
- and another airship.
- KAPPA: "A strange guy. A really strange guy. A really, really
- strange guy. A green guy. An imp robot."

- Item
- Low HP attack: Imp Rush (similar to Moogle Rush)
- Grant: You can get Grant, the thief from Zozo, by taking Gogo to Zozo
- and talking to the guy who says "Zozo? Never heard of it." Gogo
- will Mimic him, and they will have a Zozo type conversation
- (everything that is said is a lie). When the conversation is over,
- Gogo will have convinced him to join, and he'll tell you that his
- name is Grant. (Whether he's telling the truth now or not is
- anybody's guess.)
- GRANT: "A master thief and a convincing liar. Good thing he's on
- your side."
- Grant's commands are:
- Stab
- Capture
- Steal
- Magic
- Item
- If you equip Grant with the Thief Glove, Steal turns into Rob, and
- Grant can steal from the entire attacking group of monsters.
- Low HP attack: Drop Blade (Works with Stab command. Grant climbs the
- side of the screen and across the top until he's right above an
- enemy. Then he dives at them, knife first.)
- Boel: Get Boel, the merchant from South Figaro, by bringing Edgar to
- the Cider merchant under the Cafe. Boel will go on about how the old
- man is too distraught about the world being ruined that he won't buy
- his Cider! He joins hoping that destroying Kefka will get the old
- man to buy his Cider again.
- BOEL: "A desperate merchant and a master salesman."
- Boel's commands are:
- Fight
- Sell
- Magic
- Item
- When you use Sell, Boel temporarily takes one of the monsters out of
- the fight and tries to sell it something.
- Low HP attack: M. Cocktail (throws a flaming drink at an enemy)
- Scott: To find Scott, first take the Turtle's Carrot to the Chocobo
- hut in South Figaro. Give it to one of the Chocobos and he'll turn
- into a Black Chocobo. Jump on him and he'll fly you to a mountain
- top near Narshe. (In the background you can see the lights of
- Narshe.) Enter the hut on the mountain and there will be Scott! And
- is he ready for war! He comesequipped with Paladin Armor, Paladin
- Shield, Paladin Helmet, Paladin Boots, and the Paladin Pendant. (And
- no, you can't unequip them, and they don't count towards getting
- uncursed items.) The Pendant sets all evade, magicblock and stats
- that are not covered by the other paladin items to max. Fora weapon
- he has the Paladin's Rubber Band! That's right, a rubber band!
- Unfortunately, he can't use magic, but his two commands, Snap and
- Sting, areawesome.
- SCOTT: "Who is this guy? And why does he use a rubber band?"
- Scott's commands are:
- Snap
- Sting
- Item
- Snap does 9999 damage with every hit, even with the Offering.
- Sting paralyzes enemies with a stinging shot from the Rubber Band.
- Low HP attack: Slingshot (similar to Umaro's rage attack, works with
- Snap)
- Anthony: In the Mario Is Missing world, as soon as you reach Paris,
- sell all your Espers. The merchant will turn out to be Tony, the
- compiler of the FF3 Bogus FAQ. (Anthony's more than 6 letters long.)
- He will try to destroy all the Espers you sold him, and you will
- automatically fight him. He's pretty tough, but you should be able
- to beat him if you equip Shadow, Locke, or Luigi with the Offering
- and Genji Glove. (BTW, Vanish-Doom makes him impervious to weapons
- and refills his hit points to max.) Watch out for his Secret Cheese,
- which he attacks you with when he runs out of hit points. After you
- beat Tony, you will see this big cinema scene about ten different
- endings, with some comments about the secret endings. He will then
- join your party,and you'll get your Espers back.
- TONY: "One mean merchant with the powers of the gaming gods..."
- Tony's commands are:
- Fight
- Transform (Temporarily turns Tony into a random hidden character.)
- Esper (Just like using Magicite; he harnesses the Espers' power.)
- Edit
- Item
- Edit: Since he writes the game he can rewrite monsters too! This
- command transforms an enemy into a different enemy. However, it
- might transform them into a more powerful enemy, so use it carefully.
- Low HP attack: Secret Cheese (kills enemy unfairly)
- Siggy: Bet the Chupon Suit at the Colosseum, you will fight Sigfried.
- Beat him, and he'll change his name to Siegfried, then he'll run off
- to the Phantom Forest. Now go to the Phantom Forest a third time (it
- changes each time), and you'll
- be able to find the Mana tree. Use
- the Chocobo Axe (or the Ultima Axe) on it to chop it down. The
- Sprite from Secret of Mana will show up and fight you. He's not too
- tough, but the Vanish/X-zone/Doom trick doesn't work on him.
- Anyway,when you wound him sufficiently, he will explode and take the
- Mana Tree with him. Siegfried will show up, plant a new one, and ask
- you to water it. Cast Aqua Rake or use a Water Skean on it and
- Siegfried will change his name to Ziegfried and run off again. Now
- you'll find him stalking about on the Phantom Train. You have to
- fight him, and he will keep running away. Use the Lead Weight on
- him, and he won't be able to run anymore. He'll finally give up and
- join you, but first he'll change his name to Siggy, so it'll be less
- than 7 letters long. When you get him, he's equipped with the Siggy
- Esper and the Siggy Sword.
- SIGGY: "First Sigfried, then Siegfried, then Ziegfried? Well, he's
- finally joined you!"
- Siggy's commands are:
- Y-Fight
- X-Magic

- to help another dragon, Hero fights you for it. Beat him and he
- joins you, like Shadow and Toad.
- HERO: "A great hero, lost in an unfamiliar adventure, searching for
- his friends..."
- The Hero's commands are:
- Fight
- D. Morph (Dragon Morph, becomes Roast when in dragon form)
- Magic
- Item
- Low HP attack:
- Not Morphed: Dragon Blitz (calls more dragons for help.)
- Morphed: MegaFlare
- Sara: To get Sara to join you, take the Hero from Breath of Fire to
- the Fanatics Tower. Defeat the White Dragon, and it will turn into
- the Hero's sister, Sara. She will release her part of the Crusader
- seal, and join you. (If you've already killed the White Dragon,just
- fight it on the Veldt.)
- SARA: "Sister of the great Hero, she will make any sacrifice."
- Sara's commands are:
- Fight
- D. Morph (Just like Hero's.)
- X-Magic
- Item
- Low HP attack:
- Not Morphed: Dragon Punch
- Morphed: MegaNuke
- Nina: In the World of Ruin, after you get the airship, return to
- theSolitary Island, get the Palidor Magicite, and wait for 5
- minutes. Nina will wash up onshore. Take her to Cid's house to
- heal. Go out for a while, and come back. She will have recovered
- and will join the party.
- NINA: "A magic master with the powers of a bird."
- Nina's commands are:
- Fight
- Palidor (she turns into a bird and executes the move of the Palidor
- Esper)
- Magic
- Item

- again.
- BLEU: "Another magician, with the powers of a snake."
- Bleu's commands are:
- Fight
- X-Lore
- S. Magic (Snake magic.)
- Item
- X Lore is a stronger version of Lore, in which Bleu learns not only
- Lore and regular spells, but Rage attacks too, like Wing Snap, Bite,
- etc. She'll learn any of Gau's Rages the same way she learns Lores.
- Snake magic is used primarily for throwing big rocks at enemies, but
- it also consists of a few powerful spells. Snake Magic is magic that
- only Bleu can use (with a few special exceptions). She joins knowing
- all of her Snake Magic spells. They are as follows:
- Meteo
- W. Meteo
- Meteor
- X-Meteor
- Merton
- X-Merton
- She can also learn ANY other spell by seeing it used. If it is a
- Lore or a special attack, it goes in X-Lore. If it is a normal
- spell, it goes in her S. Magic.
- Low HP attack: Snakebite (VERY strong version of Poison)
- Rydia: Go to the W.O.B., and head for the Serpent Trench. Before
- jumping in, equip one of your characters with the Paladin Sword.
- Keep going right, and eventually you'll run into Leviathan. The
- character equipped with the Paladin Sword will go berserk and kill
- Leviathan. Now Rydia will appear, and your characters will convince
- her to help you out. Follow her through a cave; if you keep up with
- Rydia then you will come to the exit of the cave. Outside the cave
- you find yourself in Eblan. Enter the castle, and Rydia will be in
- the castle's throne room with her husband Edge (unless he's already
- joined you). They'll throw a dinner party with lots of guests.
- After the party, she'll join you, along with most of the guests.
- Then you'll return to your airship through a door in the back of the
- castle, bringing them all along. You won't be able to control the
- guests, but they'll follow you everywhere, like in Dragon Warrior.
- Only Rydia will join you as a playable character. (This also gives
- you the special version of any of the endings.)
- RYDIA: "A caller from the far, far past..."
- Rydia's commands are:
- Fight
- Call
- Magic (she can use white, black, and effect now!)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Bird Song (Rydia turns into a big green bird and claws
- enemies.)
- Zero (from Mega Man X): Bet the Radar Tracer at the Esper Street
- Fight Arena (bet the Energy Tank here to get the Radar Tracer first).
- You'll get the Airship Radar. Give it to Cid and he'll equip it on
- the airship for you. The next time you are on the airship, you'll
- see three flashing dots at random locations on the small map in the
- corner. These are the locations of the X hunters from Mega Man X2.
- Head to the cave or town that the light is pointing to and search for
- the X hunter there. Beat it, and you'll receive a Zero Part. (The X
- hunters locations change every time you get on the airship). Once
- you have all three parts, take them to the Colloseum. Dr. Light will
- meet you as soon as you go in. He'll rebuild Zero, then Zero will
- join your party. Like Mega Man X, Zero can gain the powers of the
- bosses.
- ZERO: "Perhaps the finest Maverick of all time..."
- Zero's commands are:
- D. Shot
- C. Beam
- Device
- Item
- If you use Double Shot (D. Shot), Zero can shoot two high power

- choose one target or two. It can do 5000
- damage to two targets or 9999 to one.
- With Crescent Beam (C. Beam), Zero can use his sword to shoot a
- crescent shaped beam at the whole enemy group. It hits for 3000-5000
- damage.
- Low HP attack: None.
- Draco and Ralse: When you get to the W.O.R., go to the Opera House
- withUltros in your party. He'll lead you through a secret pathway
- to the 3rdfloor (where Celes walked with the flowers). You'll see
- Draco and Ralserehearsing. They'll stop to attack Ultros. Beat
- them and they'll join you. While you're up here, look behind the
- pillars and you can get the Sacrifice relic, which is a stronger
- version of the Offering.
- DRACO & RALSE: No quote, they just appear in you airship.
- Draco's commands are:
- Fight
- SwdTech
- Cover
- Sing (Like Edward in FF2)
- Item
- Low HP attack: Deafener (Draco sings a really high pitched note.
- Sounds like the Vacuum2 spell in 7th Saga.)
- Ralse's commands are:
- Fight
- Duel
- Item
- When you use Ralse's Duel command, he jumps up to a single enemy and
- hits it several times. The command only works when he's equipped
- with a sword.
- Low HP attack: Convincer (Ralse convinces enemies to fight each other
- after landing a powerful blow.)
- Maria: To get Maria, fall through the trap door in the Opera house
- 25.5 times, then go to the Inn at Jidoor. The person there will be
- selling Tickets to the Opera. Buy some Tickets, and take Celes to
- the Opera House. Go to the main desk and give the usher your
- Tickets. You will be escorted to your seat. The Opera will start,
- and show Maria singing. Then the rafter rats will jump down and
- attack the audience. You will be drawn into combat, fighting some of
- the rats. When you beat a few groups of them, you'll fight Redrat,
- who's much more powerful than the other rats (and also stronger than
- Rattatooie). After you knock off about 20,000 hit points, Redrat
- will use Cheese Breath on you and blow away two of your fighters
- (just like Phunbaba). Now Maria will jump down from the stage and
- join you. With her help, you will be able to kill Redrat. (You won't
- be able to control her, she attacks on her own, a la Cyan.) After
- after a short conversation with Celes, she'll officially join you.
- MARIA: "She has grace, beauty, and a voice that will blow you away."
- Maria's commands are:
- Fight
- Sing
- Duet
- Magic
- Item
- Duet is a stronger version of Sing, but she can only do it if one of
- the following characters are in your party (the ones who can sing):
- Celes, Setzer, Kefka, Kakef, Darill, Gaze, Draco, or Ralse. It's
- similar to a Twin attack.
- Low HP attack: Sonic Song (Sound blasts all enemies. Damages and
- confuses.)
- Darill, Vargas, and Doomgaze: First, let the man and daughter at the
- Auction House buy the airship and fly away. (You can also get rid of
- them by luring the guy into a back alley and then pounding him
- unconscious.) Then get Kappa, and take him to Kohlinghen to where
- the two people are planting trees. Kappa will use analyze (Mecha),
- and discover that the seeds they were using were Phantom Seeds. The
- people will replace the seeds, and then they'll give you the Phantom
- Seeds. Now, go to the Phantom Forest and throw the seeds into the
- recovery spring there. Theseeds will instantly grow into an
- extension of the forest. Go into the new section of the forest, and
- you will end up at the train platform. ThePhantom Train will come
- by and drop off Darill and Vargas (as well as Shadow if he died on
- the Floating Continent), you will join you or wait in your airship.
- It'll remain stopped, so you can go inside and challenge Doomgaze.
- Doomgaze will know some new spells this time, so he's harder to kill
- than you might think. He will often cast Deathgaze, which casts Doom
- on everyone. Make sure someone is wearing the Relic Ring. After you
- defeat him, Doomgaze will say, "You guys are strong! I'm sticking
- with you!" After warning him not to double-cross you again, you let
- him join. (He changes his name to Gaze.) Gaze always floats when
- he's in your party.
- DARILL: "She flew faster and farther than anyone else. Now she's
- returnedfrom the great beyond..."
- Darill's commands are:
- Fight
- Summon
- Magic
- Item
- With the Summon command, Darill may summon an Esper, and she can do
- it as many times per battle as she wants. The MP Cost to Summon are
- half of what they usually cost, but she must know all the spells of
- an Esper to Summon it.
- Low HP attack: Blue Card (similar to Red Card)
- VARGAS: "The great martial artist, son of Duncan."
- Vargas's commands are:
- Fight
- P. Blitz
- Magic
- Item
- P. Blitz (Phantom Blitz) is similar to Sabin's Blitz, but with a
- twist of "ghost." i.e.,Phantom Dance replaces Fire Dance, and uses
- ghosts rather than people.
- Low HP attack: Bummer (similar to Bum Rush but faster and longer)
- GAZE: "An undead soul who roamed the heavens, searching for prey."
- Gaze's commands are:
- Fight
- Flight (more powerfull form of jump)
- X-Magic
- Command
- Possess
- D-Magic
- Escape
- Item
- D-Magic are Doomgaze's natural spells, so they don't cost MP.
- When you use Escape, you can run away from things that cannot usually
- be run away from, but not bosses.
- Low HP attack: L.2 Doom
- Note: There is a guy in Albrook that says, "I saw Doomgaze in the
- sky. I'd rather take an acid bath than fight that thing!" Take Gaze
- to him and he will have a heart attack. Once he's unconscious, you
- can steal some gold or a Tonic from him. Give him a heart attack
- enough times, though, and he'll go into the Cafe, and will be too
- drunk to to be scared. Talk to him, and he'll give random responses
- which indicate that he's drunk.
- Wedge and Vicks (if you let them die at the beginning): First have
- Mega Man, Mega Man X, Sigma, or Zero bet one of their Energy Tanks at
- the Esper Street Fight Arena (don't worry, you'll get it back).
- You'll fight a giant Hard Hat (it's easy to beat). Win and you'll
- get the Radar Tracer. Have Cid or Dr. Light equip it to Mega Man,
- Mega Man X, Sigma, or Zero. Head to Kefka's or Sabin's Tower with
- Cid and the robot equipped with the Radar Tracer in your party, as
- well as the Phoenix Esper. Go to the part where it looks like the
- old MagiTek factory. The Radar Tracer will reveal a secret passage
- that your robot will blast open. Inside will be a hidden machine.
- Cid will use the machine to drain energy from your robot's other
- Energy Tank and restore the Phoenix Esper to full power. (You'll
- lose an Energy Tank, but it's worth it.) Take the full power Esper
- to the cave in Narshe. The screen will glow and Wedge and Vicks will
- appear back from the dead. They'll join you, but, if either Kefka or
- GesthalZ is in your party or on your airship, they will attack you,
- blaming Kefka and Geshtal for sending them on the mission that led to
- their deaths, and you'll have to beat them to convince them to join
- you. Otherwise they'll just join you. (You can also use the powered
- up Phoenix esper to restore Gen. Leo.)
- WEDGE & VICKS: "The greatest soldiers of the Empire..."
- Wedge and Vicks's commands are:
- MagiTek
- X-Magic
- Item
- Low HP attacks: None.

- Deathgaze: Gaze (a.k.a. Doomgaze) knows this spell when you get him.
- It casts Doom on the entire enemy party.
- Fire!!: Random effect, but it always has something to do with a fire.
- Youcan learn this from the Siggy Esper.
- Fire28: Use with Vanish to knock out Intangir. Learned from Siggy
- Esper.
- Hangon: Jago has this spell when you get him. Just have him cast it,
- and the other characters will all hang on to him. (You can now use
- his Spin Kick to get to the last guy.)
- Imp2: You become immune to the effects of Ultima. The Bowser Esper
- caststhis on your party when you use him.
- Meteor2: If you use the Meteor Ring, it casts Meteor2. It's
- basically the same thing as meteor, but it has little firey people
- instead of rocks (like Fire Dance). This works well against Sabin.
- Moo: Either turns people into cows or has a giant cow fall on them.
- Kefkahas this spell when you get him.
- Snake Magic: Snake Magic is the magic that, for the most part, only
- Bleu can use. She joins knowing all of her Snake Magic spells, which
- include:
- Meteo
- W Meteo
- Meteor
- X Meteor
- Meteron
- X Meteron
- Ultima2: Sabin will always cast Ultima2 right away and all of your
- characters from the airship come to serve him, unless you equip Ryu
- with the Fireball. (Ryu will Hadoken him immediately to stop him
- from casting the spell.) It's basically a more powerful version of
- Ultima, since it affects robot warriors like Mega Man and Kappa also.
- You can learn this from the Chocobo Axe after 255 fights. (It turns
- into the Ultima Axe.)
- Ultima3: You can Steal this spell from some of the really
- powerfulcharacters. Once you cast it, it morphs all of your party
- members intoreally strong Paladins for the duration of the battle.
- (Unfortunately, ituses 999 MP without the Economizer.)
- Ultima4: You can learn this from the Siggy Esper, but you can't cast
- it. Exodus casts this when you defeat him.
- Warp: Nina has this spell when she joins you. It brings your party
- to andfrom Wisdon, where you can get Bleu. (Not to be confused with
- Garland's Warp ability.)

- Airship Horn: You'll get this from the ghost at the Last Refuge. Use
- it next to Necrosaro's Volcano to call your airship. (See the
- Mystery Dragon Ending for the full explanation.)

- You'll get the Airship Radar. Give it to Cid and he will equip it on
- the airship. The next time you are on your airship, you'll see three
- flashing dots at random locations on the small map in the corner.
- These are the locations of the X hunters from Mega Man X2.
- Amulet of True Light: Use the Illumina Sword on the Gem Box to break
- it open, and you'll receive this. Using it will cause Kefka to join
- your party. You can also use it on the FakeMustache to turn it into
- the RealMustache.
- Black Gun: Take the warp from the Opera House to the W.O.B., but,
- whileinside, go to the secret side path rather than straight ahead.
- If youcontinue to the left, you'll eventually find a
- monster-in-a-box, Atma Armor. Defeat him and you'll get the Black
- Gun. Use the Black Gun on the White Gun, and Kefka will receive the
- God! SwdTech.
- Cheese: Fight a group of enemies outside the Opera House in the World
- orRuin, and cheese them by using the Vanish-Doom technique. You'll
- win theCheese. Take the Cheese up to the rafters above the stage
- and use it. In a few seconds, a whole herd of rats will come out and
- fight for the Cheese. Challenge their leader, Rattatooie. If you
- beat him, you'll open up a secret warp to the W.O.B.
- Chocobo Axe: Go to the Chocobo forest right outside Baron in the
- FF2Overworld; in there you can choose between the Chocobo Esper and
- the Chocobo Axe. After 255 fights, the Chocobo Axe turns into the
- Ultima Axe, which
- teaches Ultima2. Go back to the Phantom Forest the
- third time (it changes each time you go there), and you'll be able to
- find the Mana tree. Use the Axe on it to chop it down and to get the
- Sprite from Secret of Mana to fight you.
- Chupon Suit: You can win the Chupon Suit by killing Chupon Behemoths.
- Betthe Chupon Suit at the Colosseum and, surprisingly, you'll
- challenge Sigfried instead of Chupon. (This is the first step for
- getting Siggy to join you.)
- Cross: The Cross is found by uncursing the Cursed Rod. Take it with
- you to the Colosseum and bet the Fireball. You'll fight Ultros, and
- he'll only join your party after you beat him if you have the Cross.
- Crystal of Flight: Search for this under a statue in the first floor
- of the Ancient Castle. You can equip this on Edgar's throne in
- Figaro Castle or you can equip the Auction House airship with this.
- Either vehicle will then be able to fly to the FF2 Moon.
- Demon Ring: Get this at the Paladin Castle by showing the Demon Sword
- to the guards. After you receive this, go in the castle, and Kefka
- will get down on one knee and propose to Celes. He'll give the Demon
- Ring to her as an engagement ring.
- Demon Sword: This is in the fourth chest in Wario's Castle. You can
- get it after you fight the DarkLuigi. The room with the chests can
- be found by searching the north wall and pressing the "A" button.
- Use this at the Paladin Castle to get the Demon Ring.
- Detached Arm: Get this by defeating a monster-in-a-box in the
- MagitekFactory. Take it to Cid to get the Textbook of Robotics,

- fight Dr. Light; beat him and Mega Man X will join your party.
- Dragon Crowns: You can get the 8 Dragon Crowns from the Greater
- Dragon King if you send him the Note by pigeon. Take the Dragon
- Crowns with you to give to each of the 8 Dragons when you fight them.
- (If you've beaten them already, they'll all appear on the Veldt as
- soon as you get the Dragon Crowns.) After you give out all 8 Dragon
- Crowns, you'll fight the Great Flying Darth.
- Dragon God Sword: Defeat Kakef inside the Black Hole Dragon to get
- this. Kefka will automatically use it against GoneGone in the final
- battle.
- Elemental Orbs: Garland can use these at any time when you control
- him. They work like Espers (since he can't use Espers), and include
- Lich, Kary, Kraken, and Tiamat.
- Energy Tank: You can get one of these from Gau's father if you show
- him the Textbook of Robotics after you fix his stove. Take it with
- you to the Colosseum when you bet the Detached Arm, and Dr. Light
- will use it and thearm to revive Mega Man X. Mega Man, Mega Man X,
- Sigma, and Zero are alsoeach equipped with two of these when you get
- them. You can also bet it at the Esper Street Fight Arena to get the
- Radar Tracer. (Energy Tanks are Relics.)
- Fireball: You can obtain Fireballs easily by using the
- Vanish-Fire28-Combo trick on Fireball Dragons. (And you usually get
- a Killer Combo from this trick, too.) When fighting Sabin or
- GoneGone at the end, equip Ryu with the Fireball, and he'll Hadoken
- him at the start of the battle to stop him from casting Ultima2,
- which forms a tower under Sabin or GoneGone consisting of all the
- characters in your airship.
- Flammie Drum: You can get this by beating the three characters from
- Secret of Mana in Cyan's dream. It only appears in the SUPER SUPER
- SUPER SECRET ULTRA ENDING.
- Holy Scissors: Take Locke back to the Barber Shop where Gau got his
- hair cut before he went to see his father (It's in Jidoor). Have
- Locke talk to the barber, and he will fight him. ("I'm a
- treasure-hunter, not a thief! And I don't need a haircut!") Just
- Steal the Holy Scissors!
- Iceball: Go to WarioLand with Baram in your party, and sleep in
- Wario's bed. You'll see a dream of Meltdown and Baram walking around
- Wario's castle, and they'll hide a mysterious object in the castle
- basement. After you kill the Dark Luigi (who storms into the room
- and wakes you up), look in that location to find it.

- with. (The first Cursed Ring turns into the Paladin Ring.)
- Kefka Suit: Fight Pink Pugs to get the Pug Tail, and equip it for
- 2.55battles to uncurse it and get the Kefka Suit. Equip Kefka with
- this and the Paladin Sword to get sucked into the Black Hole Dragon
- and get the Ultra Combo ending.
- M. Souffle: Take the Mushroom to Gau's Father's House with Edgar in
- yourparty. Fix his stove, then use the Mushroom while in the house
- to bake aMushroom Souffle (only Edgar knows how to make this). Take
- the MushroomSouffle back to the Colosseum, bet it, and you will
- fight Toad! After thefight, he will join you just like Shadow did.
- (Note: If you destroy theColosseum, you can still get him after it's
- been rebuilt.)
- Mega Armor: Find this in WarioLand; Cid can use it along with the
- other three parts to convert Mega Man into Mega Man X. The Armor is
- hidden on the first floor of Syrup Castle.
- Mega Boots: The boots are hidden in WarioLand, on the train in the
- Parsley Woods Zone.
- Mega Blaster: The blaster is hidden in WarioLand, in the Stove
- Canyon. You need either the Mega Boots or the Paladin Boots to walk
- over the lava to get this.
- Mega Helmet: The helmet is hidden in Warioland, on the S.S. Teacup.
- Meteor Ring: Getting this is hard. Go to Mysidia with Kefka, Baram,
- and Shadow in your party. Kefka will see Golbez, and they'll get
- into a big argument and start mud-wrestling. Kefka wins, but the
- villagers tell you that you'll have to stay overnight at the Inn
- while they clean Kefka up. Since Baram and Shadow are in your party,
- you'll see Shadow's sixth dream and your party will go inside
- Shadow's soul for an adventure. At the end of this you'll battle
- Zemus's uncle Steve and his henchmen. The best way to kill Steve is
- to use the Slave Crown or Mind Control Helmet to give you control of
- one of the henchmen. Beat him and you'll get the Meteor Ring. You
- can use this ring to cast Meteor2, which works well against Sabin.
- Mind Control Helmet (from beginning): Look around Narshe and tap "a"
- atvarious walls. Use it on Garland to convince him to join your
- party. (Works the same way as the Slave Crown.)
- Mushroom: Bet the Dirk at the Colosseum and beat Chupon, Ultros, or
- Darth Vader. You will win the Mushroom. Take this to Gau's Father's
- House with Edgar in your party. Fix his stove, then use the Mushroom
- while in the house to bake a Mushroom Souffle (only Edgar knows how
- to make this). Take the Mushroom Souffle back to the Colosseum, bet
- it, and you will fight Toad! After the fight, he will join you just
- like Shadow did. (Note: If you destroy the Colosseum, you can still
- get him after it's been rebuilt.)
- Note: (The Note is an item, this isn't just another note about
- something.) You'll see this on the table in the Returner's Hideout,
- and either you (Terra) or Banon will throw it away. To get the
- Mystery Dragon ending, take Cid back to the part of the Serpent
- Trench in the W.O.R. where the Hideout was, and he'll find the Note.
- Give the Note to a passenger pigeon in Maranda.
- Pencil: Get rid of the rich man in the Auction House by letting him
- buy a whole airship and flyingaway, or by luring him out into an
- alley and beating him up. Now you can buy whatever you want,
- including another airship and a Pencil for Relm. (If you get rid of
- him by beating him up, no one else in the Auction House will ever
- overbid you again.) Take Relm, equipped with the Pencil, to
- Intangir's island and Sketch an Intangir. You'll draw a whole herd
- of Intangir shapes, and Edge will save you and join your party.
- Pug Tail: While on the FF2 Moon, go to Bahamut's Cave Subteranne 2,
- where you can fight the Pink Pugs. The Pink Pugs always give you the
- Pug Tail if you beat them. Equip this (it's cursed) and fight for
- 2.55 battles. (It gets uncursed just after you've killed half the
- bad guys in the third battle.) It will turn into the Kefka Suit.
- Purple Belt: Ryu, Ken, or Toad can win this from Intangir if they
- kill him while he's visible.
- Radar Tracer: Have Mega Man, Mega Man X, Sigma, or Zero bet one of
- their Energy Tanks at the Esper Street Fight Arena (don't worry
- you'll get it back). You'll fight a giant Hard Hat (it's easy to
- beat). Win and you'll get the Radar Tracer. You can bet this at the
- Esper Street Fight Arena to get the Airship Radar, but first have Cid
- or Dr.Light equip it to Mega Man, Mega Man X, Sigma, or Zero. When
- equipped, the Radar Tracer will reveal a secret passage in Kefka's or
- Sabin's Tower in the part where it looks like the old MagiTek
- factory.
- Razor: After you get Kefka, take him and Locke to the Solitary Island
- tofight Cid. During the fight, have Locke Steal or Capture; he'll
- get theRazor (it's a Rare item).
- RealMustache: Use the Amulet of True Light on the FakeMustache, and
- it will become the RealMustache.
- Resurrection Potion: You can win this after killing a Platinum
- Dragon. Takeit to General Leo's grave to revive him.
- Sacrifice: Go up to the upper balcony in the Opera House. Search
- behind the pillars and you'll find the Sacrifice, a stronger version
- of the Offering.
- Scorpion Doll: The Scorpion Doll is buried with General Leo, you'll
- get itwhen you bring Leo back to life with the Resurrection Potion.
- Bet it at the Colosseum with Kefka as your fighter to get Jax.
- Sealed Weapons: At the top of the Cult Tower in the Timeless World,
- you'll fight Cowkef and the soldiers from the Order of the Ebon Cow.
- After you defeat them, you'll receive the 12 Sealed Weapons, which
- you need to defeat Exodus. They include:
- Excalipur
- Masamune
- Doom Bow
- Berserk Axe
- Pink Pug Tail (whip)
- Cow Bell
- Excalibur
- Love Bow
- Cupid Arrows
- White Wizard Sword
- Moon Staff
- Moon Rod
- Go to the FF2 Moon and enter FuSoYa's cave. Head down to the center
- ofthe moon and equip all the Sealed Weapons. Exodus will appear,
- and you'llfight him.
- Siggy Sword: Siggy is equipped with this when you get him. When you
- equip it, it increases your defense and magic defense as well as your
- attack.
- Slave Crown: This gives you control of an enemy character in battle,
- much like Relm's Control ability. You can win this from Rattatooie
- or from some enemies on theFF2 Moon.
- Textbook of Robotics: Take the Detached Arm to Cid in the W.O.R. to
- get the Textbook of Robotics, a Rare item. (If Cid is in your party
- already, you'll automatically receive it from him in a short cinema
- scene.) Let Gau's father read it (he won't unless you fix his stove)
- and he gives you an Energy Tank which you can bet at the Colosseum to
- get Mega Man X to join your party.
- Tickets: Fall through the trap door in the Opera house 25.5 times,
- then go to the Inn at Jidoor. The person there will be selling
- Tickets to the Opera. Buy some Tickets, and take Celes to the Opera
- House. Go to the main desk and give the usher your Tickets. You
- will be escorted to your seat. (After completing the scene that
- follows, you'll be joined by Maria.)
- Turtle's Carrot: Find this in the desert near Figaro. Give it to a
- Chocoboto find Scott, or give it to the Turtle to find Erdrick.
- Ultima Axe: If you equip the Chocobo Axe for 255 fights, it turns
- into the Ultima Axe. This teaches you Ultima2.
- White Gun: Go into Kefka's or Sabin's Tower through the secret rear
- entrance and head downward. Eventually you'll go through a cave and
- enter the Focus Tower. Inside the Focus Tower you can find the White
- Gun. Fire the Black Gun at the White Gun and Kefka will receive the
- God! SwdTech.
- Zero Parts: Bet the Radar Tracer at the Esper Street Fight Arena
- (this is the only item you can bet here). You'll get the Airship
- Radar. Give it to Cid and he will equip it on the airship. Next
- time you are on the airship you'll see three flashing dots at random
- locations on the small map in the corner. These are the locations of
- the X hunters from Mega Man X2. Head to the cave or town that the
- light is pointing at and search for the X hunter there. Beat it and
- you will receive a Zero Part. (Note the X hunters locations changes
- each time you get on or off the airship). Once you have all three
- parts, take them to the Colloseum, and Dr. Light will rebuild Zero
- for you.
- CURSED ITEMS:
- Note: there are two of every cursed item, but it's only possible to
- uncurseone of them. The best way to do this is with Akuma's Uncurse
- command, though it doesn't work on some of the cursed items which
- have particularly strong curses. If you lose any cursed items, you
- can find them in the FF2 Underworld, in the magma near the Dwarf
- castle.
- Cursed Ring: Kakef is equipped with one of these when you get him.
- If you uncurse it, Kakef gains the Invisibility ability when equipped
- with it. You can Steal the other from enemies in Kefka's or Sabin's
- Tower.
- Cursed Helmet: Jax is equipped with the first Cursed Helmet when you
- get him. To get the other Cursed Helmet, you have to uncurse the
- Cursed Boots so you can walk over the magma in the Cave to the Sealed
- Gate.
- Cursed Armor: Kakef is wearing one of these when you get him. The
- other one is hidden in Narshe, near the Mind Control Helmet.
- Cursed Rod: One is found in a treasure chest in the third level of
- theAncient Castle. You can uncurse it in 255 battles.
- Unfortunately, it casts Ultima on your party every time you use it,
- so it is best to use Akuma's Uncurse command. After you Uncurse it,
- you'll get the Cross, as well as the Paladin Rod. You can get the
- other one from killing enemies in the FF2 Underworld.
- Cursed Arrows: A character becomes equipped with this after being
- brainwashed by the Ultima2 spell, and your characters can get
- confused when they're hit by these.
- Cursed Sword: One of these is hidden in a chest in the cave leading
- from the Esper Street Fight Arena to WarioLand. The other is
- equipped by Zemus when you get him.
- Cursed Loafers: Buy the first pair of Cursed Loafers from the hidden
- shoestore behind the painting in Jidoor, and uncurse them with
- Akuma's Uncurseability. The second pair is equipped by the guy at
- the end of Mario isMissing, Lemmy Koopa. He'll give them up when
- you beat him.
- Cursed Boots: The first pair is hidden in Fanatics Tower, right
- behind the third staircase from the top. The second pair is equipped
- by Jago when you get him. (Don't unequip them, or he won't be able
- to use his spin kick.)
- Cursed Beret: The most mysterious cursed item of all. If you equip
- Gogo with any four cursed items, Gogo casts a Muddle spell on your
- airship and all the characters in there will attack your current
- party. While you're fighting them, the moon from FF2 will crash
- lands on one of your party members and FuSoYa and Golbez will attack
- you with the White Meteo spell. If you defeat them all, Golbez gives
- you the first Cursed Beret. Rayden (from MK2) flies out of the cave
- where Umaro first appears if you return to Narshe after getting the
- Ultros Esper. He's wearing the second Cursed Beret, but, being a
- thunder god, he won't give it to you. (He just flies over to you and
- says, "Ha ha. I've got the second Cursed Beret and you can't have
- it," then he flies off.)
- Cursed Emerald: The first Cursed Emerald is hidden on the FF2 Moon.
- Just enter the crystal chamber, and the 8 crystals will combine to
- form the Cursed Emerald. To get the other Cursed Emerald, get out
- your Sonic & Knuckles cart for the Sega Genesis; the Lock-on
- technology works for FFIII, too! Just plug FFIII into Sonic &
- Knuckles, and you will be able to find the Hidden Emerald Chamber.
- If you collect 100 rings with Knuckles, you will win the Cursed
- Emerald.
- ESPERS:
- Bahamut: In the SUPER SECRET SECRET SECRET ULTRA ENDING, you'll get
- this in Bahamut's cave after you defeat Bahamut. It teaches you
- Nuke10 and Bio8. If you play through regularly and get it by killing
- Doomgaze, you can bet this Esper in the Colosseum, and you'll fight
- and join up with the Hero from Breath of Fire.
- Bowser: Challenge Bowser in the Esper Street Fight Arena, beat him,
- andyou'll get his Esper. Make sure to equip it on Luigi, because if
- *anyone*else tries to use it (yes, including Mario and Toad) you'll
- lose Relm --Bowser thinks she's Princess Toadstool. (You can fight
- Bowser if you really want her back.)
- Chocobo: You can get this in the Chocobo forest outside Baron. It
- teaches you Vanish2, whichworks well against Sabin. Warning: You
- must choose between the Chocobo Esper
- and the Chocobo Axe, which
- teaches you Ultima2 after 255 fights.
- Dryad: Teaches you Mana Magic, Blaster, and Sleep. You'll receive
- this after defeating Sigma's WarMech.
- Siggy: You'll get this when Siggy joins your party. It teaches you
- Fire28, Fire!!, Ultima4, Shock, Shock2, and Shuck.
- Splitting up the Ultros/Odin/Raiden Esper: Take the Ultros Esper back
- to the Esper village. Talk to Madonna, after you have General Leo
- resurrect her. She will betray Maduin's love and fall in love with
- Odin (Madonna is Odin's second secret mistress eluded to in the Odin
- dream of Mog. There was a secret mistress to Odin already, wasn't
- there?). Madonna will make love to Odin, and form _another_
- half-esper child. This one will fly away and turn into Raiden.
- Madonna will be distraught and become an Esper herself. Odin will
- explode into three pieces; the Ultros Esper, the Odin Esper, and the
- Raiden Esper. (Odin was inside the Ultros Esper all along, which is
- how he was able to communicate to Madonna.) Note: To do this scene,
- you first have to have transformed Odin to Raiden, then Raiden to
- Ultros.
- Statue Espers: Kefka can call these when equipped with the
- appropriatecommand.
- Ultros: You can upgrade Raiden to become the Ultros Esper in the
- underwater cave. If you equip Ultros with the Ultros Esper, it
- teaches everyone the Tentacle spell, and it does a cinema scene where
- Ultros realizes, for the third time at least, that he is just an
- octopus.
- HOW TO GET WHERE:
- World of Balance: First fight a group of enemies outside the Opera
- House in the World or Ruin, and cheese them by using the Vanish-Doom
- technique. You'll win the Cheese. Take the Cheese up to the rafters
- above the stage and use it. In a few seconds, a whole herd of rats
- will come out and fight for the Cheese. Challenge their leader,
- Rattatooie. If you beat him, you'll open up a secret warp to the
- W.O.B. Once there, head north and fight the four miniature Atma
- Beasts. If you kill them, a secret passage to the airship Falcon
- will appear. You can now use this airship to fly anywhere you want.
- Points of interest include Intangir's island (where you can get
- Edge), and the Cave to the Sealed Gate, where you can get Meltdown
- and the Cursed Helmet. You can go back through the warp to return to
- the World of Ruin.
- If you bring Gogo through the warp with you, he'll go crazy and
- leave,changing his name to GoneGone, and you'll be stuck in the
- W.O.B. and unable to save your game. You can then find Jago if you
- fly to Mt.Koltz. Take him and your other three party members to
- GoneGone with Jago'sspin kick.
- FF2 Overworld: You can cross over to the Overworld of FF2 through the
- time machine in the Ancient Castle, which is right past Cecil's
- greatgrandson inthe third basement. (Like the W.O.B., only four
- characters can go at once.) If you have both GesthalZ and Kefka in
- your party, Zemus will join you as soon as you arrive. (He'll take
- the 5th character spot, which you have whilein FF2, and he'll meet
- you in your airship if you return to FF3.) Otherwise, you'll fight
- Zemus and he'll suck you back through the portal with Black
- Hole.
- After Zemus joins you, sneak up on the engineers and steal
- the airship Enterprise, which you can use to fly anywhere. Points of
- interest: Drill through the mountain north of Agart to reach the
- Underworld, or fly to Mysidia and get the Big Whale to go to the
- Moon. From the Moon, you can fly back to FF3 through some hole in
- the Space-Time continuum to get your other party members.
- FF2 Underworld: There are two ways to get here. 1. You can steal
- theEnterprise while in FF2 Overworld, and drill down through the
- mountain north of Agart. 2. Build your own airship from parts at
- the auction, then take off without attaching the Crystal of Flight.
- You'll crash and end up in the Underworld. However, once you find
- Cid (if you haven't done the scene where he admits to building the
- airships and blows himself up, it'll skip the scene and he'll appear
- here anyway), he'll repair your airship. If you take this route,
- you'll lose your chance to get Zemus in the Overworld, but he'll
- appear on the Moon later. While here (by either route), you can join
- up with Cid, as well as Luca. You can also find any Cursed items
- that you've dropped in the magma near the castle.
- FF2 Moon: There are two ways to get here as well, but they depend on
- your route to the Underworld. 1. Equip the Crystal of Flight on
- either Figaro Castle (Edgar's throne) or on the airship you built
- from the parts at the auction (don't worry, they sell a second one
- after the guy and his daughter fly away), and you can fly to the FF2
- Moon from anywhere by talking to the crystal. (Afterwards, fly to
- the FF2 Overworld and enter Baron with Kefka and GesthalZ in your
- party to get Zemus.) 2. If you crash the airship into the
- Underworld, find Cid, so he can repair it. After this, fly to
- Mysidia and talk to the Elder. The Elder and all his followers will
- start wishing away, and eventually the Big Whale will rise out of the
- water. Once you enter the Big Whale, it'll show a cinema scene of
- Zemus flying off to the Moon. Follow him into Lunar Subteranne, and
- he'll join your party. (You'll need Kefka and GesthalZ to convince
- him that you're bad guys.)
- Note: If you find and defeat Bahamut, you'll get X-Morph for Terra.
- When you use it, X-Morph turns her into a dragon like Bahamut (the
- Fight command in battle is replaced by MegaFlare when morphed) and
- lasts twice as long.
- Esper Street Fight Arena: Take Cid to the Colosseum. Have a party
- member bet something cheap to make Chupon appear. The fighter will
- get sneezed out of the arena. Fight Chupon again. (Remember, you
- _want_ to be sneezed.) Do this 5 times, and Cid will get sick of
- this and makes some cold medicine. (It turns out Chupon only had a
- cold! That's why he's been sneezing!) Send Cid into the arena after
- he says he's made the medicine, and he'll give it to Chupon
- automatically. Chupon will be so grateful that he will become Cid's
- best buddy and give Cid a big wet kiss. Ken, Ryu, Jax, and Akuma
- (whether they're in the airship, in your party, or in the stands)
- will become so angry at the whole business that they'll destroy the
- Colosseum. Now, you will need to take Edgar and Cid into the ruined
- Colosseum. They'll rebuild it in their own image (kind of a bizarre
- mix between Castle Figaro and the Magitek Research Facility). In a
- trap door, there will be a special arena designed specifically for
- the Street Fighter characters, Ken and Ryu, but you can take anybody
- you want in there. A whole bunch of Espers fly in there and take it
- over, and it becomes the Esper Street Fight Arena. (BTW, the New
- Colosseum will work just like the old one, but Chupon will be
- replaced
- with Siegfried, or Ultros if Siggy joined you, or Darth
- Vader if bothSiggy and Ultros joined you. And no, you can't get
- Darth Vader to joinyou!!!) While in the arena, defeat Bowser to get
- his Esper.
- WarioLand: Go through the cave just past the Esper Street Fight
- Arena; you'll appear in Wario's castle. The castle will appear to be
- vacant, but sleep in Wario's bed and you'll be attacked by the Dark
- Luigi. (You can also find the Iceball after you beat him.) The shop
- near Wario's castle is run by Tony, so you can get him here if you
- missed him in Mario is Missing.
- The restored world: Take the Crystal of Flight with you into Figaro
- Castleand place it on Edgar's throne. Now talk to the crystal and
- Figaro Castle will fly through the air. While on the Moon, go to
- Bahumut's Cave Subteranne2, where you can fight the Pink Pugs. The
- Pink Pugs always give you the PugTail if you beat them. Equip this
- (it's cursed) and fight for 2.55 battles. (It gets uncursed just
- after you've killed half the bad guys in the third battle.) It will
- turn into the Kefka Suit, the only suit in the game which can bring
- the world back into balance. To do this, first equip Kefka with both
- it and the Paladin Sword, then go to Bahamut's Cave Subteranne 4,
- where you fight the Black Hole Dragon (looks like a Zone Eater). As
- soon as the fight begins, the dragon will suck Kefka in and lights
- will flash. You'll then control Kefka alone inside a secret cave.
- Go through the cave (it's similar to GoGo's cave) and you'll meet
- Kakef at the end. It turns out that's Kakef is really Reptile from
- MK2, and he's just been disguised as your brother all along. The
- Paladin Sword with Y-Fight works well on him, but you can beat him
- easily when he disappears by casting the You Lose spell. After you
- kill him, the dragon will spit you out along with the Dragon God
- Sword. (If you fight the dragon without Kefka and the right
- equipment, he'll die and return to life later.) Pick the sword up,
- and the World will be restored to Balance when you return. As soon
- as you land, GoGo will go berserk and turn into GoneGone, just like
- if you brought him there the other way. However, now it'll do a
- scene where Kefka challenges GoneGone alone, equipped with both the
- Paladin Sword and the Dragon God Sword. Since Gonegone will
- summonall of you other characters from the airship, the battle
- against GoneGone and his tower will be a long hard one, but
- fortunately GeshtalZ, Zemus, and Garland will join you as you fight.
- (You heard me right; you use the _bad_ guys and you fight the _good_
- guys.) When you win, it does the GoneGone ending and the Bad Guys
- Win ending.
- Timewalk: Take the warp from the Opera House to the W.O.B., but,
- whileinside, go to the secret side path rather than straight ahead.
- If yougo to the left, you'll eventually find a monster-in-a-box,
- Atma Armor. Defeat him and you'll get the Black Gun. If you take
- the path to the right, you'll end up in the Timeless World, at the
- entrance of the Paladin Castle. Show the guards at the entrance the
- Demon Sword, and you'll get the Demon Ring. Inside the palace,
- you'll see a scene between Celes and Kefka where Kefka gives her a
- ring (presumedly the Demon Ring) and Celes promises to marry him.
- Timeless World: Leave through the rear of the Temple of the Paladin
- andfollow the path. You'll reach the Cult Tower (not the Fanatics
- Tower, but similar.) Youcan't use magic or Espers inside, so it is
- difficult to get through. At the top of the Tower, you'll find the
- cult's leader, Ishmu (he looks similar to Kefka). When he sees you,
- he'll order his general, Cowkef, to attack you. He'll fight you
- while assisted by soldiers from the Order of the Ebon Cow. After you
- defeat them,
- you'll rescue another character also called Cid, who is
- from FF4 (FF7 in Japan). You'll also receive the 12 Sealed Weapons,
- which you need to defeat Exodus.
- Focus Tower: Go into Kefka's or Sabin's Tower through the secret
- rearentrance and head downward. Eventually you'll go through a cave
- and enterthe Focus Tower, from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. Inside
- the Focus Tower you can find the White Gun.
- City in the Clouds/ Necrosaro's Castle: Send the Note to the Greater
- Dragon King by passenger pigeon, and he'll take you to the City in
- the Clouds. While here, you can find the 8 Dragon Crowns. Give the
- 8 Dragon Crowns to the 8 Dragons and kill the Great Flying Darth.
- You'll now return to the City in the Clouds. Climb up to the top of
- the highest cloud and jump off; you'll end up at the entrance of the
- cave surrounded by mountains on Necrosaro's Island. Go through the
- cave to reach Necrosaro's Castle and the Last Refuge. (This is
- explained fully in the Mystery Dragon Ending.)
- ENDINGS:
- There are ten secret endings. However, during the game, you can go
- through a series of events which, when completed, changes your ending
- slightly. The events are as follow, and the ending changes are
- listed below each ending (under Special):
- SPECIAL ENDING EVENTS:
- 1. You'll need the Paladin Sword to start. Equip it on any character
- besides Gogo. (See ending 3 for explanation.) It also helps to
- bring Mario in case you mess up.
- 2. Go to the Opera house with a party including Mario and the
- character.
- 3. Fight the rats and warp back to the World of Balance. (If the
- rats areall gone, just cheese the bad guys outside the Opera House
- by usingVanish-Doom. You'll get the Cheese. Use it on the rafters
- to call morerats.)
- 4. Travel to the Serpent Trench.
- 5. Dive in, making sure that Mario is leading the party.
- 6. Go RIGHT at every decision point.
- 7. Eventually you will come to a dead end. Instead of spinning you
- aroundand making you go back like the game used to, it will stop.
- After a fewseconds, Leviathan will attack. Your character will go
- berserk (apparently the Paladin Sword wasn't Uncursed completely) and
- continually attack Leviathan with the Paladin Sword. This should
- kill Leviathan.
- 8.When Leviathan dies, Rydia from FF2 will appear. She will be mad
- and want to destroy you for killing Leviathan. She tells you how her
- parents were killed and all that good stuff. She says, "You
- murderers can't understand!" and is about to attack, but your
- characters explain about their war against the Empire, about the
- poisoning of Doma, etc., and she understands and accepts you as
- friends. She tells you to follow her.
- 9. This is hard. You have to follow her through a cave, and if you
- don'tkeep up with her you'll lose her and have to start right after
- Leviathan
- again. Besides getting through the maze, the only way out
- is to have Mario smash the ceiling, which puts you back out on your
- airship. (That is why you brought Mario.)
- 10. If you keep up with Rydia, then you will come to the exit of the
- cave. Outside the cave you'll find yourself right near Eblan, in the
- FF2 Overworld. (If you try to get here by the other way, the castle
- will be locked.) Enter the castle, and Rydiawill be in the castle's
- throne room with her husband Edge. They will invite you to dinner
- with them that evening. Accept the invitation, then sleep in one of
- the castle beds. The dinner will begin when you awake. (Note: If
- you've already found Edge, Rydia will host the dinner party herself.
- If Edge is in your party, he'll welcome you to the castle, but he
- won't leave to fight Intangirs later.)
- There are many guests at the dinner party.
- They are:
- Rydia
- Edge
- Pit (from Kid Icarus)
- The Sprite from Secret of Mana
- Diddy Kong
- Ridley
- Bill and Lance (The two guys from Contra)
- Princess Zelda (She is a snob!)
- Bubsy
- Kirby
- Ryu Hayabusa (from Ninja Gaiden)
- Chewbacca
- Lots of people!! After the party, they'll all join you except Edge,
- the Sprite, and Zelda. (Edge says something about leaving to fight
- Intangirs, a clue to finding him later.) You won't be able to
- control them, but they'll follow you everywhere, like in Dragon
- Warrior. You'll return to your airship through a door in the back of
- the castle, bringing them all along. At this point, Rydia will join
- you as a playable character.
- REGULAR ENDINGS:
- 1. Sabin Ending: If you equip Sabin with any four Cursed Items
- simultaneously (I recommend the Cursed Sword, the Cursed Armor, the
- Cursed Shield, and the Cursed Helmet), Sabin turns to a Dark Knight,
- KILLS Kefka,and takes over the world for himself. Pretty cool.
- Instead of fightingKefka at the end, you fight him. He is almost
- impossible to beat. The Vanish and X-zone or Doom trick does not
- work on him and almost nothing can hit him. A good group of
- characters to attack Sabin with are Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and any fourth
- party member. If you bring Ryum make sure he has the Fireball
- equipped; he'll stuff Sabin at the beginning of the fight and stop
- him from chanting Ultima2. Otherwise, Sabin will always cast Ultima2
- right away and all of your characters from the airship will form a
- tower under him, just like in the GoneGone ending. (Talk about an
- impossible fight; they all have Cursed Arrows equipped!)
- Special: You'll see the ending for the groups of friends all
- together. They all come out and each do a little move characteristic
- of them while escaping from the Tower. The Contra guys blast a hole
- in a wall through which you escape, Pit flies over a hole and throws
- a switch to extend a bridge and allow the rest to cross, etc. I
- don't want to tell you all of them; beat it and see for yourself.
- 2. Bad Guys Win Ending: If you use Kefka, Kakef, GesthalZ, and
- Zemus together to infiltrate Sabin's Tower and fight Sabin, you'll
- get to see aspecial ending. Kefka takes over the world and the
- following scenes are really neat,but unfortunately Exodus kills him.
- It also shows a scene of Garlandlaughing in some remote castle.
- Special: No difference, except that you see the new characters get
- killedtoo.
- 3. GoneGone Ending: If you take Gogo back to the World of
- Balance, he'll become GoneGone and proceed to take over the world.
- After you do this, you'll be stuck in the W.O.B. and won't be able to
- save your game. Climb to the top of Mt. Koltz and find Jago, then
- use his Hangon spell and his spin kick to reach GoneGone. When the
- fight starts, GoneGone casts the Figual spell (from Lufia) and
- Muddles all the characters on your airship, which you then have to
- fight tier by tier, just like Kefka's Tower of Monsters. (If you
- equip Gogo with four cursed items at any point in the game, the same
- thing happens.) When you defeat them, you face GoneGone. The best
- characters to use against GoneGone are Kefka and Kakef (their Twin
- attack works well), Akuma (just Uncurse GoneGone four times to defeat
- him), or Leo (Burn works really well). You also have Jago, because
- it's impossible to get to GoneGone without the Spin Kick. (Unless
- you do the Ultra Combo Ending.)
- Special: None.
- 4. M.Bison Ending: Contrary to popular belief, it _is_ possible
- to fight M.Bison at the end. Put Ryu, Ken, and Akuma in your party,
- and enter Tzen. A warp zone will open up, and you'll find yourself
- at M. Bison's stage in Thailand. It'll switch to a one-on-one battle
- of Akuma vs. M. Bison and the screen will turn white. Use the Fight
- command six times consecutively, and M. Bison will be dead (Akuma
- does two 3 hit combos, just like in the arcade). Though you don't
- actually save the world from Kefka, Sabin, or GoneGone, the credits
- now start rolling and you have to reset the game to keep playing, so
- this is considered an ending.
- Special: None.
- 5. The Espers-Don't-Die Ending: If you find Meltdown, Leo,
- Mario, and Baram, you can see a special ending. Bring those four
- characters (along with any others you want) into Kefka's Tower. To
- help you get through the tower, we recommend using the following
- Character -- Esper pairs:
- Meltdown -- Bowser Gen Leo -- Alexandr Kappa -- Starlet
- Terra -- Chocobo Gogo -- Maduin Baram -- Raiden*
- Locke -- Kirin Ryu -- Tritoch Luigi -- Zoneseek
- Sabin -- Odin Gau -- Ultros Mario -- Dryad
- * You have to separate the Ultros Esper back into the three parts to
- get Raiden, Odin, and Ultros.
- When you win the game, the Espers will not die, but change back to
- living beings.
- Special: Same as ending 1.
- 6. Erdrick Ending: After finding Erdrick, a scene happens
- immediately after the next time Kefka appears on screen. (Note: Like
- the Mega Man X Hadoken trick, you have to find Erdrick and do the
- scene without saving it.) Kefka and Erdrick warp to Mobliz and begin
- fighting. Kefka attacks with Laugh and Moo, but Moo hits just as
- Erdrick is jumping, changing Erdrick into a cow. For about 5
- minutes, Kefka keeps casting spells until the cow falls on him. The
- credits roll and the cow breaks the ledge it's standing on. With
- Kefka under him, he falls into the lava.
- Special: None, since this doesn't show your characters at the end.
- 7. Mystery Dragon Ending: This ending is so secret, even the
- programmers at SquareSoft don't know about it yet. There's a Note on
- one of the tables when you first visit the Returner's Hideout. If you
- have Terra look at it, she has the option of throwing it away or
- leaving it alone. If she leaves it there, Banon will show up and
- throw it away a little later. In the World of Ruin, get Cid to join
- your party, and take him back to where the Hideout would be in the
- Serpent Trench. Cid will dig up the Note. Take it to the passenger
- pigeons in Maranda, and send it off. The Greater Dragon King will
- show up, and take you to the City in the Clouds, where you get the
- Eight Dragon Crowns. Give the eight Dragon Crowns to all eight
- Dragons. (If you've already killed them, just wander around the
- Veldt for a while and they'll fight you again.) Once the last Dragon
- gets its Crown, the sky will turn black and you'll fight the Great
- Flying Darth. Beat it, and the Greater Dragon King will appear and
- once again carry you back up to the City in the Clouds. Go to the
- top of the highest cloud and jump off. You'll end up on Necrosaro's
- Island in Dragon Warrior 4, at the entrance of the cave blocked by
- mountains. Go through the cave and come out; you'll end up at the
- Last Refuge and the entrance to Necrosaro's castle will be unlocked.
- The ghost at the Last Refuge will give you the Airship Horn. Go
- through the castle and use the Airship Horn on the other side. Your
- airship will appear with all of your other party members, and it will
- follow you like a wagon. Climb the volcano to where Necrosaro stood
- and you'll find Garland. As you fight him, he'll morph into Chaos,
- piece by piece, while you knock off 200,000 hit points. When he
- appears to be dying, he'll morph again and turn into Zeromus. After
- you take off about 106,000 more hit points, he'll turn into Exodus (a
- giant tree). Knock off about 50,000 more hit points, and he'll
- finally turn into Kefka. Now you only need to knock off about 65,000
- more hit points to kill him. He returns to his original form,
- Garland, as he dies. Though 421,000 hit points seems a little high,
- you should be able to beat him easily if you have 30 or more secret
- characters, in addition to the 14 original ones. The ending shows
- your characters in black and white as they climb out through
- Necrosaro's castle and cave, then it takes you back up to the City in
- the Clouds for a Dragon Warrior 4 type conclusion.
- Special: It shows all the extra characters in the City in the Clouds,
- and they each say a line or two.
- 8. Ultra Combo ending: (This is tricky to do. Note: All
- characters except Kefka will appear in these scenes whether or not
- they've joined you.) Put Kefka in your party. Take the Crystal of
- Flight (from the Ancient Castle) with you into Figaro Castle and
- place it on Edgar's throne. Now talk to the crystal and Figaro
- Castle will fly through the air and land on the FF2 Moon. While on
- the Moon, go to Bahamut's Cave Subteranne 3, where you can fight the
- Pink Pugs. The Pink Pugs always give you the Pug tail if you beat
- them. Equip this (it's cursed) and fight for 2.55 battles. (It gets
- uncursed just after you've killed half the bad guys in the third
- battle.) It will turn into the Kefka Suit, the only suit in the game
- which can bring the world back into balance.
- Now, equip Kefka with both the Kefka Suit and the Paladin
- Sword, and he'll be able to unlock the seal on the entrance to
- Bahamut's Cave Subteranne 4. Take him down there and you'll fight
- the Black Hole Dragon (looks like a Zone Eater). As soon as the
- fight begins, the dragon will suck Kefka in and lights will flash.
- You'll then control Kefka alone inside a secret cave. Go through the
- cave (it's similar to GoGo's cave) and you'll meet Kakef at the end.
- It turns out that Kakef is really Reptile from MK2, and he's just
- been disguised as your brother all along. The Paladin Sword with
- Y-Fight works well on him, but you can beat him easily when he
- disappears by casting the You Lose spell. After you kill him, the
- dragon will spit you out along with the Dragon God Sword. Pick the
- sword up, and a scene will start where you flythe airship back to
- FF3, but the World will be restored to Balance when you return.
- You'll land outside the Opera House.
- As soon as you land, GoGo will go berserk and turn into
- GoneGone, just like if you brought him here through the Opera House
- warp. Now it'll do a scene where Kefka challenges GoneGone, equipped
- with both the Paladin Sword and the Dragon God Sword. Since Gonegone
- will summon all of your other characters from the airship, the battle
- against GoneGone and his Tower of Heroes will be a long, hard one,
- but fortunately the Dragon God Sword randomly casts Life3 on your
- party while you fight, and GeshtalZ, Zemus, and Garland will join you
- as you progress up the tower. (You heard me right; you use the _bad_
- guys and you fight the _good_ guys.) Kill all the good guys, then
- you'll face GoneGone. Since you can't use Kakef, Leo, or Akuma
- against him, he's harder to beat, but a good strategy is to use
- Kefka's Double spell and keep attacking, GeshtalZ's PMorph and keep
- attacking, Zemus's Big Bang repeatedly, and Garland's Morph and keep
- attacking. If you're about to lose, do Garland's Warp to start the
- battle over again.
- After you win, it'll do a short scene in the basement of the
- rich man's house in South Figaro. Kefka and Celes will be walking
- through, looking for Kefka's tux so he can marry Celes. (This makes
- sense if you did the scene in the Paladin Castle.) They'll walk past
- the second prison room and hear a muffled cry for help, then this
- dialogue commences:
- KEFKA: "?? What was that noise?"
- CELES: "What is it, Kefka?"
- KEFKA: "I thought I... what?? Could it be?" (He looks into the
- prison room.)
- CELES: "What? What?"
- KEFKA: "It's Kakef! Kakef's in there! Kakef!" (At this point, Kefka
- rips the door from its hinges.)
- KEFKA: "Kakef!" (Kakef is in shackles on the wall.)
- KEFKA: "Brother! Are you all right?" (Kefka unties and ungags
- Kakef.)
- KAKEF: "Re... Reptile! Where is that stinking lizard? I'll tear
- him to pieces!"
- KEFKA: "He's gone, along with all the other bad guys. This world's
- going to be a fun place to live in again!"
- KAKEF: "You mean you're a good guy now, too? All right! Who's
- that?"
- KEFKA: "This is my bride-to-be, CELES. We're getting married as soon
- as I find my tux. Say, would you be my best man?"
- After the wedding, it shows the GoneGone Ending and the Bad
- Guys Win Ending. Then it shows the Espers Don't Die Ending, then the
- Erdrick Ending, then the Mystery Dragon Ending, and finally the SUPER
- SUPER SUPER SECRET ULTRA ENDING. (Then the words "6 ending, 1
- wedding ULTRA COMBO" appear on the screen, and it says
- "Ultraaaaaaaaaa Combo!!" That's why this is called the Ultra Combo
- ending.)
- Special: It does the special version of each of the 6 endings instead
- of the regular version, and it writes "6 special ending, 1 awesome
- wedding ULTRA COMBO" on the screen at the end instead of the normal
- writing.
- 9. SUPER SUPER SUPER SECRET ULTRA ENDING: I bet nobody found the
- SUPER SUPER SUPER SECRET ULTRA ENDING in FF3. At the start of the
- game, get Wedge and Vicks to level 59 before you find the Esper.
- (Make sure you found all of the cursed items; just wait 2 hours in
- front of the cave and Umaro will jump out and give them to you.) The
- Esper will kill Terra but spare Wedge and Vicks. You'll then head
- back to Vector where you'll get to control the Empire. Gesthal has
- wicked magic (just like GeshtalZ), and Kefka rocks, even before he
- gets the statue powers. Leo is good but you have to kill him when he
- switches sides. Head to the Opera House; Kefka and Gesthal will
- start to sing a duet, and when the audience starts to boo they will
- use their magic to destroy the whole place. The Impresario will then
- turn into Dr. Lugae from FF2. Kill him to get the Bahamut Esper
- (Teaches Nuke10 and Bio8). Head to Doma and brainwash Cyan with
- Kefka's Laugh. Then head to every town and wreak massive
- destruction. (You'll fight Returners as bosses.)
- After you get bored of wreaking destruction, revive the
- Floating Continent and destroy the world. (Kefka will kill Gesthal,
- but then he will have a tough fight against Wedge and Vicks.) Now,
- just use the Light of Judgement to destroy all the new towns until
- you get bored. When the heroes come, use Fallen One and Havok Wing
- to destroy them. Go find Gogo and Umaro and take them plus Cyan (who
- is still brainwashed) to Doma and enter Cyan's dream. Instead of
- Larry, Moe, and Curley, you'll fight the Hero, Girl, and Sprite from
- Secret of Mana. Once you win, you'll get the Flammie Drum. Call
- Flammie and head to the fortress. Use the time machine and head to
- FF2, then use the fortress's power to make the moon crash into the
- world. The screen will go black and the game will become FF1 (only
- you use Kefka, Akuma, Zemus, and GesthalZ as characters). Play
- through FF1, and when you win (Laugh works well against Chaos) a
- really long ending will start. I can't tell you what happens because
- I always have to eat supper just when it starts. That is how you get
- the SUPER SECRET SECRET SECRET ULTRA ENDING.
- Special: You can't possibly get the secret characters with this
- ending.
- 10. Ultimate Ending: First, get the Sealed Weapons from the
- Timeless World by beating Cowkef. Then go to the FF2 Moon in either
- the Big Whale, the Auction House airship, or Figaro Castle. Enter
- FuSoYa's cave and head down to the center of the moon. Equip all the
- Sealed Weapons, which include:
- Excalipur
- Masamune
- Doom Bow
- Berserk Axe
- Pink Pug tail (whip)
- Cow Bell
- Excalibur
- Love bow
- Cupid arrows
- Paladin Sword
- Moon Staff
- Moon Rod
- Exodus will appear, and you'll fight him. When you beat him, he'll
- cast Ultima4 and wreak havok across the W.O.R., FF2 World, and the
- Timeless World, merging them into the World Beyond Ruin (W.B.R.) A
- lot of places will be gone now and Terra's Castle (Teratio) will
- appear. The screen will go dark, and you'll end up right outside
- Teratio with only Terra, Cecil, Zemus, Kefka, and ????? in your
- party. ????? claims to be the last guy from FF4 (FF7 in Japan), and
- you can't control him. Go inside the castle and head up to the 7th
- floor throne room. Inside is Garland, who explains that the entire
- FF series is just a time loop, and that your characters are actually
- all good guys, and that he's been tricking you into fighting each
- other all along. (He says a little and takes a step back twice, just
- like in FF1.) Garland will then Morph into Chaos, and you'll fight
- him. The best strategy is to use Terra's Morph and Atma Weapon/
- Excalipur attack, Cecil's Paladin Sword attack, Zemus's Black Hole
- and Meteo spell, and Kefka's Double spell, followed by the R. Mage
- rage. ????? will attack and use some really strange spell called
- Moogual, which works pretty well. Garland has 200,000 hit points.
- Once you beat him, you'll see the modified FF1, FF2, FFE, FF3 combo
- ending, which is similar to the endings of the four games combined,
- and goes on for over an hour.
- Special: What, don't you think the ending is special enough already?
