o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<===>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o
Saving..........Save often. This game can be very challenging! You can only
Save on the World Map.
Quicksaving.....This is useful if you have to leave the game for a long period
of time and are stuck in the middle of a dungeon. Be careful
though! This save is temporary and will disappear the next
time you load your game.
Reviving........If you have any KO'd party members, don't waste your Phoenix
Downs. Every major town has at least one REVIVE wellspring, so
use these as much as you possibly can.
Phoenix Downs...You can't buy Phoenix Downs anywhere! :( So save them for the
moments when you are in *desperate* need of them! Like those
dangerous Boss fights!
Wellsprings.....There are wellsprings almost everywhere, but are most commonly
found in towns. There are 3 types:
1. HP/MP = Completely restores HP and MP.
2. Revive = Revives all KO'd party members.
3. Status = Cures all status ailments.
Mini............Some areas of the game will require you to be Mini. To cast
Mini you must have a Job that can use it, and MP. To get out
of Mini just recast it on your party members or use the
"Mallet" item.
Shiny Spots.....Use the L Button to Zoom-In the camera. By doing this you can
11. find "Shiny Spots". A Shiny Spot will often times be a
valuable treasure and other times a hidden switch. There are
tons of them, so look carefully!
MP..............When you switch your Job from a physical-based Job(Monk), to a
magic-based Job(White Mage), your current MP will remain at
ZERO. Find the nearest HP/MP wellspring or Inn to restore any
lost MP. You can also use an Elixir.
General Tips:
=============
- Always keep a stock of beneficial items. (Potions, Antidotes, Phoenix Downs,
Elixirs, Eye Drops, etc...)
- Explore and talk to everyone, you may get some interesting info or sometimes
even treasure!
- Don't sell anything! ONLY follow this advice if you are a perfectionist. ;)
Battle Tips:
============
- Focus on a single enemy until it dies. This will make battles easier.
- Any character with a long-range weapon should be in the back row. This way
they can still do full damage while taking LESS damage!
- You can equip and unequip weapons in the "Equipment" menu. This can be
very helpful if you forgot to do so before battle!
- Reserve MP if possible. Some weapons can cast magic, WITH NO MP COST, when
you select it in the "Item" menu! If the weapon is equipped, go into the
"Item" menu and press "Up". This will take you to the "Weapons" menu so you
can use the spells.
- Casting magic on multiple targets. If you are casting magic on the enemy,
press LEFT to cast it on all enemies. If you are casting magic on your
party, press RIGHT to cast it on everyone!
- When in Mini, make your entire party magic-based.(Mages, etc) Mini will
cause your party members to do TERRIBLE physical damage.
- Stealing can save you A LOT of money, as well as make you rich! ;)
- Dual-Wield. When you equip two weapons, you will witness some incredible
destructive power.(depending on your weapons)
- If you have a good Defensive Job, like Knight and Viking, try Duel-Shields!
Explanations of this Guide:
===========================
This section will explain a few important things that you should know about
while playing a new game and using this FAQ.
1. Navigating. When navigating this guide, it is best to use the search
function and enter the code given. I will only give you a code when it's
important, or when I think you'd might be interested in seeing more
details. So, all you need to do is press Ctrl+F, then copy/paste the code
including the brackets {}.
2. Checklists. At the start of each section in the walkthrough, I will write
out the following checklists:
12. Party: Current party members. Even though you'll never change them. :p
Level: The range of levels you should be. It's ok to be a higher level.
Enemies: Enemy encounters and Bosses.
Treasure: What you will find in treasure chests, containers, secrets, etc.
About level recommendations, this is the MINIMUM level you should be. If
you are lower than what I have suggested, then you might find yourself
having a lot of trouble.
3. Treasure. Throughout the walkthrough, I will type items and treasure in a
special way, like this: Open the chest to find a >PHOENIX DOWN<. This
is so you can skim-read paragraphs if you are trying to find them quickly.
4. Bosses. I've created Information Boxes for every single Boss. They will
include Stats, Item Steals, Item Drops, detailed Strategies, and the best
of all, Level Recommendations. Yahooo!
<OPTIONAL:> and <PERFECT GAME NOTES:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you see these notes, you DON'T NEED to do them to finish the game. I only
included them in this guide to make it easier for PLAYERS who care about
getting that 100% file.
Again, if you don't want to follow the instructions within these notes, then
just ignore them. :P They are there to remind the players on what they need
to do to get everything possible in FFIII. :)

Area Map....http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/924897-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/59884
Party.......Luneth.
Level.......1
Enemies.....Goblin, Carbuncle, Eye Fang, Blue Wisp, Land Turtle.
Once you start a new game, you'll watch a scene where a boy (really?) falls
down a hole. This is Luneth. As it turns out, this cave is filled to the
brim with monsters! You'll immediately be attacked by Goblins. They aren't
too hard, just poke 'em and they'll die. :)
After the fight, head north through the cave. Along the way you will find two
treasure chests. The left one holds a >LEATHER SHIELD<, and the right one
holds a >POTION<.
Further up, you'll come across a rock which you must activate. This will
cause a path to open up to the right. On this small path, there will be a
treasure chest with a >LONGSWORD< inside, and some stairs.
In the next area, head left to a get an >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Then go all the way
13. to the right to get a >POTION<. After this, head back up and you'll find
another >POTION<. To the right is a chest with another >ANTARCTIC WIND< and,
ever more to the right, a wellspring that will restore your HP/MP! Yay! It's
so pretty. ^_^
NOTE: If you want to, you can stay around this area and level up, then use
the wellspring to heal yourself.
When ready, head left. You will find some stairs. Go up and you will be in a
shrine of some kind. You won't get far because you'll be attacked by an evil
creature! Make sure you have at least one Potion, you just might need it.

Before the fight, be sure to equip the Longsword you found in the cave. This|
will really help you out. |
|
Start off by just attacking. Don't use the Antarctic Winds you found in the |
cave. You don't need them and you WANT to save them for the next boss. |
|
When Luneth gets close to about 10hp, use a Potion on him, then continue your|
attacks until the Land Turtle is dead. The end. |

When you defeat the Boss there will be a couple of scenes. When they end, you
will be returned to the surface, the world map. Go ahead and save if you want
to, and then head south to the nearest village.
<OPTIONAL:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This can be done at any time, but why not now? You will get some fantastic
items!
Before heading south to Ur go back into Altar Cave. You will enter a different
part of the cave! Take the first right and you'll come to a "dead end". There
are a lot of places like this throughout the game, so keep an eye out for
them! ...or I'll just tell you. ;)
Wait, it's not a dead end! Well, it is, but not here. You can walk through
the wall to a secret area! Open the chests to find: >LEATHER CAP< and
>BRONZE BRACERS<. Now go back, then head down. In the next area, head left
and you'll enter a room with lots of treasure and a hole in the middle!
14. I bet you can't guess who fell down that *OBVIOUS* hole. Geez!
Open the treasure chests to get >BRONZE BRACERS<, >SLEEP<, >BRONZE KNUCKLES<,
and two >LONGSWORD<. You can fall down the hole if you want, but it won't
get you anything, and you will have to travel all the way to the Crystal's
Shrine again. So you might get a level or two. ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is just a reminder. Luneth comes equipped with a Knife and Vest. The
rest of the main characters, when you get them, also come equipped with a
Knife.
You must *NOT* sell these items! You can't get them anywhere else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you get to Ur, go into the house on the left.(with the blue roof) In
here you will find two wellsprings. One restores HP/MP, and the other
revives any fallen party member. Remember this, it will be very helpful later
on! In the second room of this house, you will find Elder Topapa. Talk to
him and watch the scene.
Now exit the house. Talk to the old man right outside, and he will ask you
to use a Potion on him. If you do, he will give you a >PHOENIX DOWN<. What
a nice guy! Phoenix Downs are hard to come by in this game!
Go east past the Inn. If you talk to the lady by the well, she will tell
you to take the Potions inside the well. There are three Potions down there.
You don't have to talk to the lady, it's just being polite. :)
Inside the Inn. Here you can buy items, watch a pretty girl dance, and
even play the piano! Everyone boos you though. Hehe!
NOTE: Sorry to give up your hopes, but the dancing girls and playing the piano
yield no rewards in the end. They are only for pure enjoyment! I see it
as a missed opportunity for two really fun sidequests, but oh well. :(
Now head Northeast of the Inn. Up here, you will watch a scene with some kids
bullying another kid. The one being bullied is Arc.
After the scenes, go to the top of the flower patch, by the water. There is
15. a hidden >POTION< lying on the ground, just waiting to be picked!
The guy north of the weapon shop tells you to take the items in the store-
house, but to be cautious of monsters along the way. Don't worry, they are
only Goblins! When you get to the storehouse, don't enter. There is a
hidden >POTION< near the water. Ok, now go in. :)
In here you will find many useful things. The old man gives you a
very helpful tip. So go ahead and talk to him if you want to. In the pots
to the left you will find two >ANTIDOTE<. Now talk to candle that the
old man told you about. :P
In the secret area you will find: >DAGGER<, >LONGSWORD<, >EYE DROPS<,
>PHOENIX DOWN<, and >CURE<.
You're done in this town, so go ahead and leave. You can and visit the shops
if you want to.
When ready, exit Ur and head south.

Upon entering Kazus, you will see Arc. You can talk to him now, if you want,
or explore the town. You could even level up Luneth so he stays ahead of the
group, in levels! ;)
Either way, this town seems doomed. They are all "ghosts"!
Ok, the first house you'll see is the one with a blue roof. It has a well-
spring inside if you need it! Head left of this house through the trees. You
will find a small pond! Around the pond, by the trees, you will find
a >MYTHRIL HELM< and a >STAFF<. After you get the staff, immediately go to
the right. There is a hidden path in the trees! In here you can pick up a
>ZEUS'S WRATH<.
Now go back to the main part of town. You can find a >POTION< inside the Inn,
and another >POTION< in the house just north of the Inn. They shouldn't be
too hard to find. ;) If you need to, use the Zoom-In feature to see the
shiny spots! (Zoom-In with the L Button)
WARNING: The cave at the north end of town is very dangerous at this point of
the game. Don't go in here WITHOUT saving! In fact, don't go in
here at all. You can't get the treasure within just yet, so we will
come back later! :)
After talking to Arc, go inside the Inn. One of the ghosts in here is Cid.
16. He will ask for your help, and lend you his airship! Awesome!! Since there
isn't much else to do, for now, let's go get his ship.
Leave town and walk to the small desert just west of town. On the airship,
you will meet Refia. Yay! ^_^ Watch the scene and now you can fly!
Head northwest to the castle!

The first thing you will do at Castle Sasune is meet Ingus! After the scene,
you will be in the courtyard of the castle. Head left.
There will be a tower over here called "Sasune: West Tower". Try to be very
careful. There are monsters in here and they are pretty tough!
NOTE: If you want, don't enter this tower until Ingus is in your party. That
way he won't miss out on any experience from monsters and it will make
it a little easier for you. :)
On the 3rd floor, you will find: >HOLY ARROW< and >WOODEN ARROW<. On the top
floor, is a single chest with a >WIGHTSLAYER<. But it's a trap! You'll have
to fight a Griffon! Be prepared!!!

Head back down the tower and then go right towards "Sasune: East Tower". This
is much better. No monsters! Yay! On the 3rd floor you'll get
>HOLY ARROW< and >WOODEN ARROW< both again. On the top floor, it looks like
someone's room! How nice! Open the three treasure chests for a >POTION<,
>WOODEN ARROW<, and >BOW<. You can even take a nap on the bed. Mmm!
Now, go back to the main gate. Then go up and into the main part of the
castle. In the first room there are some ghosts and a couple beds. If you
are still tired, you can take another nap! ;) Go up to the next room. In
here, go left through the cracked wall.
There is a chest with a >PHOENIX DOWN<.
Then head to the opposite side of the room. Go through the cracked wall over
here and then go up the stairs. Follow the hallway to find a >LEATHER SHIELD<
and >BLIZZARD<. There is a cracked wall here too, so go in it and you'll find
a secret room with a >BRONZE KNUCKLES<.
Now go all the way back down stairs. Here, take the other stairs down. Both
chests contain >1,000 Gil<. That's a lot of money! You can go down one
more flight of stairs, but there isn't anything special down there. Just a
clean, refreshing pool of crisp water. Mmmm! ^_^
Now go back up, then up again! Go up until you find the King's Room. Watch
the scene here and you'll be given a job to do. To the cave!

Inside the Sealed Cave, you will fight all undead monsters. If you need to,
level up some! If you rushed everything so far, things might be a little
difficult in this cave.
NOTE: The Wightslayer you got in Castle Sasune will work really well in here.
It's a light based sword and that's the main weakness of this cave!
When you are prepared, go into the Sealed Cave. Take the path all the way
down until you run into a chest with a >POTION<. Then go back up and
take your first right. Follow the path all the way up. You will find a
chest with >CURE<. Then go down and follow the long path.
In the next area, open the chest with >500< Gil. Then talk to the skull
18. in the upper right of the room. A path will open and you'll encounter
the Princess! Watch the scene and she will temporarily join your party. She
can be helpful in battle by casting Aero and Cure! Nice Princess!
Go down to the next area. Follow the path to a fork in the road. Go down
first to find an >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Continue on the path and you'll find
another treasure chest with >EYE DROPS<. Then take the path to the left and
follow it until you meet Djinn standing on his oddly placed..... rug?

Once you beat him, you will be teleported back to the Crystal. Here you will
watch a scene, and then some credits? Weird. After this a moogle will appear
and tell you about Jobs. Yes, you get the ability to change Jobs! Finally! :)
For more information on Jobs, go to the "Job Guide" section. Ctrl+F. {WIND}
<SIDEQUESTS:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to, you can start the Onion Knight sidequest. This can be done at
any time during the rest of the game, so don't feel pressured to get it
finished. Besides, having the Onion Knight this early in the game won't help
you any. It is very, VERY weak when your characters are at low levels. Go to
the "Finding the Onion Knight" section if you want it now. Ctrl+F. {OK}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<GETTING 9999 HP:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is something that you shouldn't worry about this early in the game. In
fact, you won't need to worry about it until your level 55-60! The first time
I reached max HP, I didn't worry about until I was level 55! If this is
something that interests you, everything you will need to know is explained in
the "Getting 9999 HP" section. Ctrl+F. {HP}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Choose any setup you want. I chose this team:
Warrior-Monk-Thief-Warrior.
The reason I chose this setup is because I'm all about power. I don't like
having Mages in my party. :P You might think I'm crazy, huh? Hehe. Well, I
19. do have a lot of yummy Potions and battle items!
Now, head back to Castle Sasune. After the scenes, the curse will be lifted
and you'll get your first key item: >FOLDING CANOE<. Double prizes!
Now go get your airship and fly back to Kazus.

Going into the Mythril Mines:
SAVE before doing this!!! Enemies in here are really strong! In the mine,
follow the path to the right and then up the railroad tracks.
In this room, there is a secret switch at the top left, on the pillar. This
switch opens up to a secret area. At the end of this path you'll find two
>MYTHRIL SWORD<. This will save you 1000 Gil! Hooray!
Go to the Inn and talk to Cid. Watch the scene and Cid will temporarily join
the party.
Then head to Refia's house.(the one above the Inn) Watch the scenes here and
the airship will be ready to go! It's waiting just outside of town.

With the new Mythril Ram attached to your airship, you can break through

Now that the rocks are destroyed, you can access a new part of the World Map!
Head south to find Canaan. When you enter Canaan, watch the scene and Cid will
leave your party. It's unfortunate, he was very helpful in battle!
In the house connected to the Inn, you can find a >MALLET< and >GOLD NEEDLE<.
In the northeast part of town you will find some stairs. Up here you'll gain
access to the river that runs through town. Follow the river and at the end
there is a chest with an >ELIXIR<. But don't be hasty! This elixir is NOT
for you!
Head to the northwest part of town and you will find Cid's house! Go in and
talk to him. Mrs. Cid is sick so you'll want to give her the elixir. Talk to
her and give it to her. Don't worry, it's worth it!
After the scene, talk to the lamp and a secret passageway will open! Don't you
just love them? In here you will find 12 treasure chests! 12!! 4 are hidden
in the wall. Told you it was worth it!
Next, go talk to Salina. She is in the house connected to the Inn. She will
tell you about her boyfriend, Desch. He ran off to a mountain! A mountain

Follow the path up the mountain. At the first fork, go down to grab a
>PHOENIX DOWN<. Then continue back up. Take your first right and grab the
chest containing >AERO<. Continue along the path again and grab the treasure
chest with a >GOLD NEEDLE< inside.
That was......short. Go up and watch the scene. OH NO! BAHAMUT!! He'll
pick you up and toss you into his nest. Check out all of those little
baby Bahamuts! So cute! :) Anyways, talk to that funny looking guy hiding
in the nest. Haha. Watch the scene and....Bahamut attacks!!
21. OK, so you can't actually kill this boss. He is way too powerful so you have
no choice but to run! If you leveled up enough, I'm sure you could kill him
but that would take a LONG LONG time!
After you run away from Bahamut, you'll watch another scene and Desch will
jump off the mountain. Genius!
By the way, Desch gives you a >MINI< spell, which you will need to enter

Now you're back on the world map. Be careful! You have never been to this
part! Walk south just a little bit and you can enter a small forest area.
===============
Healing Copse
===============
In here are 3 wellsprings that heal EVERYTHING! One restores HP/MP,
one revives all KO'd party members, and one cures all status ailments! Mmmm,
water is so cool.
Also, if you talk to the tiny person here, he will give you a >MINI< spell.
NOTE: When you switch from a physical-based Job to a magic-based Job, your MP
will stay at zero. So whenever you do this throughout the rest of the
game, remember to restore your MP using an Inn or an HP/MP wellspring.
To enter Tozus, change one of your character's Job into one that can learn
Mini. I chose a Red Mage.
Now you must cast Mini on ALL 4 party members to be able to enter Tozus, which
is located South, in the southern area of the LARGE forest.
Don't forget that you are MINI! If you have a physical attack team, they will
do HORRIBLE damage. You might want to change them to a magical attack team.
This way you can defeat your enemies! I used 3 Red Mages and a Thief. Hey, I
gotta have my stealing fix! :P Also, put them all in the back row since magic
isn't affected by row.
=======
22. Tozus
=======
Once in Tozus, go ahead and explore. I mean it is a new town!
When you're ready head to the northwest part of town and enter the house. This
is a doctor's house. First off, Zoom-In the camera with the L Button. Then
walk around the room to find 4 shiny spots! You'll get: >MYTHRIL BRACERS<,
>FIRE STAFF<, >FIRA<, and >CURA<. Nice!
When you talk to the doctor he'll ask for an Antidote. Give him one and he'll
open the secret passage. This is your path. Along the way you will see two
very obvious treasure chests. Open them for two >PHOENIX DOWNS<.
NOTE: Make sure you stay at the Inn. You'll want your MP to be full before
going down here. You're Mini after all and need as much MP as possible.
Continue down the stairs and follow the tunnels until you reach the world map!
Don't remove Mini just yet. You will need it up ahead. And also, don't switch
your Jobs back to normal. Not just yet! ;)
Enter the nearby cave.

Inside the cove, follow the path and you'll eventually meet some, well,
Vikings! Sweet!
When you see the group of Vikings sitting at the table, head south. There is
a secret passage leading to a >SPARK DAGGER<. This is a very good weapon at
this point of the game!
Head back up. The door on the right leads to some shops and an Inn. Go ahead
and buy some stuff if you want. Now head up the stairs.
NOTE: Again, make sure you stay at the Inn. You'll want full MP for up ahead.
Here you can go left or right. Go left first to what will seem like just
another dead end. But wait! There is a secret passage here too! Take the
the path and head down the stairs. Down in this room, you will find a
wellspring that revives any fallen allies and a >VIKING AXE< and
>3,000 Gil<. Very nice!
Head back. You'll see a moogle along the way. Send some letters to any of
23. the available FFIII Denizens, if you want to.
Just below the moogle is another VERY well hidden passage. I mean, you can't
see any sign of it!! You'll find 3 treasure chests to get a >BLIZZARA<,
>FIRA>, and >THUNDARA<. Oh yeah! :)
Continue along. You'll see a cannon around here. It's fun to shoot it for
about 10 shots, but that's it. :P Go down and meet the Viking Leader. He
will offer you his ship, to keep, if you help them out! It's a DEAL! Head up
and take the stairs outside.
No matter what you do, DON'T get on that ship!! You'll fight the ultra
powerful Nepto Dragon that deals +10000 damage each round! So yeah, avoid him
at all costs! Except if you are WAY over leveled! Haha. Oh.
Also, if you want a complete Bestiary, don't worry, the Nepto Dragon is
automatically logged into your records.(except without stats, unfortunately)
Walk along the cape until you reach Nepto Temple.

Along this path you will find a >SERPENT SWORD< and another hole! Go down the

After you slay this purple beast, you'll receive the >NEPTO EYE<. Back track

Check out that treasure list!!! Oh my!
Now that you have the Enterprise, you can go explore the world! Well,
mostly. ;) Obviously there are a ton of treasures that you can get right now,
and we'll start by going to Tokkul which is located southwest from the Nepto
Temple.
They are practically touching! Close enough anyway.

25. In Tokkul, go to the northwest part of town. You can find a >LAMIA SCALE< at
the base of the single tree. Now go south of the tree. You can find a
>GREAT BOW< in the crate to the left of the old house. Then go one more house
down, not the one with the blue roof, and you can find a >BACCHUS'S CIDER<.
Now that I look at them, the houses look alike!
NOTE: I sure hope that your party isn't still in Mini. Hehe! ....like mine.
At the east side of town you can find an >ICE STAFF<. Zoom-In if you can't
find it right away. In the house at the north part of town you can find a
>SONIC KNUCKLES<, >KENPO GI<, and >SERPENT SWORD< in the basement.
Leave Tokkul. When you get to the world map, head south, following the
coastline. It will shortly start taking you west. Eventually you'll come upon
a huge forest with a circle of grass in the middle! The small forest here is
a Chocobo's Woods!
Go inside and catch one! They're so cute! ^_^
From Chocobo's Woods, head west. There is a lonely town on, what looks like,
the EDGE of the world!! No way!

There is only one hidden treasure here! Go ahead, find it! You at least know
it's there, right? By the way, it's another >SERPENT SWORD<. OK, if you wanna
know where it is now, look below. ^_^
There is also a little mini-quest you can do in this town! From the entrance,
head up all the stairs, going to the center of town. Did you see that little
kid with BRIGHT orange hair? Talk to him. You know what to do! Hehe. Let's
go for a ride on a Chocobo!
When you get back, he'll give you......Gnomish Bread? Yeah, thanks, I guess.
You can do this as much as you like, if you really want. I did it 10 times to
see if something might happen, but nothing! Oh well.
<SERPENT SWORD:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you find it yet? Hehe. :P Go to the well on the right side of the Inn. See
that little white flower up North? There it is, hiding away! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're done in this town, go back to Chocobo Woods and catch a ride back to
your ship. When you are back on your ship, head west from Tokkul. The
coastline will curve and start to go north. Keep going until you see a
castle. Go over and enter.
===================
{15} Castle Argus
===================
26. Area Map....
Party.......
Level.......
Enemies.....None.
This place is disturbingly empty. In the second room of the castle, there
are 4 lit candles on the wall and a table in the left corner. Talk to the far
right candle to open a hidden passage. In this passage there are some stairs
and 3 treasure chests! Walk through the wall to get these. They contain a
total of 3000 Gil! Mmmm, money. Now head up those stairs! This next area is
LOADED with treasure, too! You'll get 4700 Gil!
Go up the next stairs and you'll be on top of the castle. Go left first and
follow the path until you reach a door. It's locked! But guess what, you can
pick the lock! To do this, you need to have a Thief in your party. Ooh, my
favorite Job! :P
NOTE: To open locked doors with Thief, it has to be at the top of your party.
In this room, talk to the dresser to open up the treasure room. You'll get:
>Light Arrow<, >Killer Bow<, and >Medusa Arrow<.
Head back outside and take a right. Another locked door and ANOTHER treasure
room! I love this castle! You find: >BOOK OF LIGHT<, >BOOK OF FIRE<,
>ICE ARROW<, >SCHOLAR ROBE<, >BOOK OF ICE<, and >FIRE ARROW<. Now head back
to the main part of the castle. When you get back to the room with the 4 lit
candles, go up the stairs.
First, take notice of the stairs you came up. There are stairs just like this
to the right of the round table. You can't see them because they are covered
by a roof! In this area, there are 2 treasures: >BOMB FRAGMENT< and
>ANTARCTIC WIND<. There is also a secret passage to the right. Enter it
between the two chests. You'll find: >ARCTIC WIND<.
If you need it, there are a couple wellsprings outside. Just head south of the
round table and you'll be in a courtyard with an HP/MP and REVIVE wellspring!
Woohoo! :)
===================
{16} Living Woods
===================
This place is located to the Southwest of Castle Argus. It's a round patch of
forest surrounded by some mountains. There isn't much to do here, except talk
to some fairies, but I thought you might want to know anyways. ;)

First you will need to go to Gulgan Gulch. From Nepto Temple, head northwest.
Here you will find an empty castle. This is Castle Argus.(for those of you
that skipped Section 15) From here head northwest again. Go into the
mountains and you will find a Chocobo Woods and Gulgan Gulch! First, let's go
to the gulch.

>ICE STAFF<, and a >MAGE ROBE<. Now head outside and go north to the Tower of
Owen. You can walk, or go get your ship, it's up to you. Oh, and yes, we are
done treasure hunting. There was a lot to do, but wasn't it worth it?
Ok, to the Tower of Owen!!

When you enter here, there may seem like a whole lot of nothing, but there is!
To progress into the Tower of Owen, you must use the Toad Spell you just
acquired. Don't use it just yet though. Walk down through the frog filled
sewer. It will take you left. Then take your first up and then follow the
path to a dead end. You'll watch a scene here. Do what Luneth suggests, and
turn everyone into toads! Poor Refia! :(
NOTE: When you switch from a physical-based Job to a magic-based your MP will
stay at zero. Wait didn't I say this already? Hmmm... Anyway, if you
want to restore your MP, head to the nearest Inn or Wellspring. :)
In this next area follow the path. You'll see a short scene along the way and
then head up the stairs when you get to them. Here head across the walkway
and grab a >ECHO HERBS< to the right. Continue along and head up another set
of stairs!
There is nothing in this next area, so just follow the path around to find
some more stairs. Up here, head left, across the walkways and grab that chest
to the right for a >SPARK DAGGER<. Continue up to the next floor.
Head all the way left to trigger another scene. This time he is telling you
something useful! Now go to the "door" on the north wall. It's not actually
a door, but a SWITCH! Yay! It will open a path to you, so take it! You will
find some stairs, and further to the left an >ECHO HERBS<. Now go up. This
28. is another very simple path. It wraps around to the next flight of stairs.
On this level, go right first to grab a >BOMB FRAGMENT< and ECHO HERBS<. Then
go back to the left and up to the next level. Follow the walkways, then take
a right to find a >SONIC KNUCKLES<. Now head all the way to the left, then
down to find MORE stairs! Geez! Lots of 'em!
Guess what? This is the final floor! Yahoo! Go left, down, then right to
pick up the very hot >SALAMAND SWORD<! Then head all the way left again, then
go up to find another treasure chest: >FLAME MAIL<. Ok, now go down, then
right. Pick up the >ZEUS'S WRATH< next to the stairs, and go up! On this
floor you'll encounter a demon!!

As mentioned in the scenes, your next destination is the Dwarven Isle. But
let's make and *OUT OF THE WAY* stop! Hehe.
Go past where the whirlpool used to be and sail east. Down this long stretch
of sea, you'll find a town called Gysahl!
In the southeast corner of this town you can find 3 hidden items:
>GYSAHL GREENS<, and two >MAGIC KEY<.
Head over to the chocobo stable. It is the house next to the garden. You can
find two more >GYSAHL GREENS< in the pots toward the back.
Also, there is a secret tunnel leading to the inside of the chocobo's
fence! Fun! Oh yeah, and you might be coming back to this chocobo stable if
you are doing a perfect file. ;)
In the house north of the chocobo stable, you can buy Magic Keys! They can
open any locked door, so I suggest you buy some! There is also a secret
passage leading to the area behind the counter. You can open a treasure
chest with a >SHURIKEN< inside!
Next, head to the Inn. In this first room you'll find a few people and
another secret passage!! This one is located to the right, through the wall.
You can find a man in here who will tell you A LOT of coolness. Try it, go
talk to him!

The only thing left to do here is go shopping if you need to. So leave town,
and head ALL the way back to the Tower of Owen *area*. From here, head west
to find an island with 2 caves and a Chocobo Woods.
The northern cave is inaccessible right now, so enter the southern cave.

If you skipped section 18, the Dwarven Hollows are located Northwest of the
Tower of Owen. It's the southern cave on the island.
Walk through the first room and down the stairs. This next area is the main
hall of the Dwarven Hollows. You can find shops at the north end, the
treasury at the south end, and the Subterranean Lake at the southwest end.
Talk to the guy standing guard of the shrine in the middle. You will hear
his plea and I guess agree to help him! So when you are ready, head to
the Subterranean Lake. When you get here, you'll see another scene similar to
the one at the Owen Tower. And again, poor Refia! Hey, she doesn't like
toads! :(
You'll need a white magic caster to use toad.

Follow the path across the 2 bridges and grab the >GOLD NEEDLE< along the way.
Then next room is empty. Just go down the stairs to proceed. Across the
bridge, open the chest for a >ZEUS'S WRATH<.
31. Go across the next bridge and left to find another >ZEUS'S WRATH< and
>GOLD NEEDLE<. Head north across the bridge and get the >GOLD NEEDLE< there
and then go up the stairs on the right.

healed with potion or Cure spells.
At the fork, head right to find another >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Go back and then go

on the lava again, so be careful! At the fork in this lava, go down first to
find a chest containing a >FREEZING BLADE<. Mmm, delicious! Go back and the

to will also give you a >MAGIC KEY<.

For saving the Horns of Ice, the dwarves will give you access to their HUGE

an injured fellow. Watch the scene and head to Tokkul to help those people.
If you didn't go there earlier it is located southwest of the Nepto Temple. In

To get a Complete Bestiary and 100% Treasure, you will need to get every chest
and encounter all the enemies in this area. You can't come back here once
you have defeated the Boss!
Here's a quick list of the enemies: Demon, Pharaoh, Lemur, Dullahan, Lamia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You've been imprisoned! How rude!
Walk to the right, through the wall, and talk to the soldiers who have been
imprisoned, too. You'll learn what has happened to their Kingdom. One of the
soldiers is a spy and will attack you! Hehe, he isn't hard to beat. ;)
The far right cell has an open gate so go through it and take a right. Go into
the next open cell and you'll find a guard lying down. He'll give you a Mini
Spell so you can enter the tiny hole. That pot next to the hole will fully
cure your party! Thanks Hein! ^_^ Enter the hole once you have cast Mini on
your entire party.
When you are through the hole, take your party out of Mini. Follow the path up
and around to a large spaced area. Immediately go down to find a treasure
chest with a >HOLY ARROW<. Go back and then head up into the other path.
Here you'll get two >PHOENIX DOWN<. Go back again and head left into the next
part of the castle. There are two paths you can go up here. The right one
has a >PHOENIX DOWN< and the left one has some stairs to the next floor.
In this area you'll have 3 doors right in front of you. Within these rooms you
will find: >BOMB FRAGMENT<, >ANTARCTIC WIND<, >ZEUS'S WRATH<, and 9000 Gil.
Now take the path outside of these doors either left or right and it will wrap
around to another staircase. Up here, grab the chest straight ahead to get
a >ROYAL SWORD<. Then continue to the left to the next area. Go up the
stairs in this room and you'll then be outside!
Follow the tree branch all the way up, grabbing the >PHOENIX DOWN< on the way.
34. Back in the tree, go left first to grab an >ELIXIR<. Then head all the way up
to find a >RUNE BOW<. Go back down a take that left. Go up the stairs to the
final area and you will meet Hein. He's......a skeleton?

After the battle, you'll watch a short scene and a little fairy will give you
the >FANG OF WIND<. The tree will tell you something VERY exciting after this
so pay very close attention! Ooo, aren't you excited for what's to come? :D
NOTE: In case you missed it; During the cutscene, you were teleported to the
Living Woods. Don't worry, there wasn't any treasure there. ;) After
this you won't be able to access the Living Woods ever again.
Back on the world map, head to your ship. Now that you have saved the Argus
Kingdom, the castle will be re-occupied! Let's go pay them a visit!
Once you make it to Castle Argus go inside. Remember the second room with the
4 lit candles? Take that secret passageway that you opened. Keep going through
here until you reach the roof of the castle.
Head left, then up, and enter the door here that used to be locked. There is
a lady in here. Talk to her and she will give you two >ELIXIR<. Thanks!
Now head back through the castle to the round table room! The King and his
men are sitting at the table. Talk to the King and he will give you the
>WHEEL OF TIME<! This is what Cid needs take make another airship, so let's
go see Cid!
Head to Canaan, that's where Cid lives. Remember? :P Go to his house and
talk to him. He will use the Wheel of Time to turn your little boat into an
airship! Yay!!
The scene shown here is probably the most important one so far. And it lasts
for more than 3 seconds, too! Haha.
To board your ship, push A. To land, push B. You can only land in water.

When you are fully prepared, fly off the edge of the continent. You'll watch
a scene with Luneth, Arc, Refia, and Ingus trying to break through the clouds.
When they make it through, you will be on the surface of the world. To make
it even *BETTER*, is the wonderful music that plays in this new world map!
Ahh. :)
This place is huge! The map seems rather....empty, but there are a few pieces
of land that you can see on your map. Make your way to island farthest north.
At this island you will find a tiny forest and a deserted ship. Enter the
ship.
<PERFECT GAME NOTE 5:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know they're kind of hard to miss, but make sure you get the Zeus's Wrath
and Blood Sword. You can't get these chests again!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Head down to the bottom deck. You'll find two chests with a >ZEUS's WRATH<,
and the excellent >BLOOD SWORD<. Now talk to the Old man standing near the
beds. After the scene, give Aria an antidote. She will be cured and wake up!
She'll suggest that if you take her to the Temple of Water that you might be
able to return light to the world. Let's GO! ;)

Once you leave the ship, sail or fly over to the largest island. On this
island, you will find the Temple of Water and the Cave of Tides. First, enter
36. the temple. Follow the hallways back to the Crystal's room and Aria will find
a Crystal Shard. Now go back outside and into the cave.
Inside the Cave of Tides, head south across the bridge and follow the path
until you reach a door. Aria will open it. In this next area head across the
longest bridge in the world. Enjoy the pretty waterfalls, too! At the other
side, head down.
This place is very simple, so just head through it until you finally reach a
bridge heading east, and a staircase heading north. Take the stairs, and at
the end of this LONG path you'll find >BLIZZAGA<. Enjoy! Now go back to
that bridge. Across here is another bridge and then a path leading to some
more stairs. Go down to the next level.
In this area, there is water everywhere! Follow the path around the pool and
go up the stairs when you see them. Up here is the Crystal of Water. After
the events, you'll be attacked by Kraken!

After the fight, some very sad events will occur. Watch them and try not to
get too emotional. Before it's all over...*sigh*... Aria will bless you with
the Crystal's power... YAY! More Jobs! ...and pass away. :(

When it's all over, you'll awaken in Amur.
