Your destination is just to the | | East, a meteor it seems has crash landed. o------------------------------o Step onto the rock to enter the Tycoon Meteor. Now with control of the main character head right to trigger a battle. These things shouldn't be too hard to defeat, simply select the "fight" command twice to defeat them. You'll have a chance to name you main character, choose any name you like as there is no default. Note that in the instruction manual his name is "Bartz" in each of the screenshots so I guess that's as good a default name as any other, for the purposes of the walkthrough I'll be referring to him as Bartz (however I will name him "Alex" because that's a great name, I encourage you to name him that too.) When you have control again go to the upper right to find someone laying on the ground. Return to your Chocobo and leave the meteor. Head around to the left and go up to enter another area. You'll need to fight another couple of battles before you can continue. After the scene here and once you're back on the world map ride the Chocobo up to the cave. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Cave | (00002) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Note that this is the first place in the | | game where you will encounter random battles | Leather Cap............_____ | so watch out, fortunately for you on the | | left side of the first room there is a o------------------------------o recovery spring which will heal your HP & MP back to full when you step down into it. Obviously you can use this if you get seriously hurt in battle. Head up into the next room and climb the first set of stairs/ You'll see a pirate who opens the door using the button on the wall, so now you know how to open the door. Before you do be sure to open the chest on your left and get the 'Leather Cap.' Climb the stairs and press that button on the right to open up the door. Follow the path around to the left side and go up through the door of the cave to reach the pirate's lair. After a quick scene go to the left side, on the left of the flag is another button on the wall, press it then go up. Cross the dock to the right ad when you get onto the ship go to the top and examine the steering wheel to trigger another event. Following this you'll have control of the boat, you can have them automatically take you to the Wind Shrine if you wish. Note that you can go and visit a town first if you wish, you'll find Tule village to the West. You don't need to and it's easy to beat the Wind Shrine first but you may want to stock up, so whatever you choose eventually make your way to the Wind Shrine and head inside. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Wind Shrine | (00003) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Inside the shrine head over to the left side | | where you'll find a gathering of people, | Tonic.................._____ | talk to the man in the centre to learn about | Tonic.................._____ | the situation with Reina's father and then | Tonic.................._____ | go down, you can use that pot at the bottom | Tonic.................._____ | to fully restore your HP & MP, also be sure | Tonic.................._____ | to speak with the guy at the lower left to | Tent..................._____ | receive five 'Tonic.' Head over to the | Leather Cap............_____ | right side of the floor and ascend up the | Broadsword............._____ | stairs. On the left side here you'll find a | Staff.................._____ | treasure chest containing 'Tent.' Go down | | through the door in the middle to find a o------------------------------o save point, here you can access the menu to save the game. You can also use a Tent or Cottage at a save point to heal all your characters to full HP & MP. When you go down to the next room head right and go up the stairs to find a 'Leather Cap' in the chest. Descend back down again and go up the stairs on the right side. Follow the hall around until you reach a door. inside that room you won't find anything but in the room across on the left side past the monster guarding the door is a 'Broadsword,' be sure to equip that on Galuf. When you think you're prepared go up to the monster and begin the fight. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Wingraptor | HP: 250 | Level: 1 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | Since you really don't have the ability to edit your characters and change | | class and such it pretty much boils down to a battle to see who can hit | | harder and faster. The boss has a powerful attack called Air Wing which | | does about 20 damage to each party member so make sure you go into battle | | with full health. As long as Galuf equipped that Broadsword like I said | | you'll almost certainly come out the victor just by tapping the X button. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Climb the stairs that the monster was guarding to find yourself on a floor with many vines around. Check out the lower right corner and you'll see a treasure chest off out in the black area that you can't reach. Well if you go down below the lower right pillar with the vines on it and stand in the absolute lowest right hand corner you can move down into the wall, from there head directly right to find 'Staff.' Believe it or not the Staff is actually more powerful than the Knife so you may want to equip it now. Head through the door in the middle. Watch a scene in here and then you'll get the power of the ancient warriors, new job classes which you can now transform into at will. They include: Knight, Monk. Blue Mage, Thief, Black Mage and White Mage. Step onto the warp portal behind the altar once everything is said and done. You can get a tutorial on the job class system if you wish which is recommended if you've never played this game before. Get on the boat and then ride if South, then West to find the small little village of Tule. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Tule Village | (00004) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o It would be a good idea now to choose what | | jobs you want everyone to be, I'm kind of | Tent..................._____ | set in my ways, each time I play this game I | Tonic.................._____ | always make Bartz the Knight, Reina the | LeatherShoes..........._____ | Black Mage, Galuf the White Mage and Faris | 100 GP................._____ | the Blue Mage. It always works out pretty | Tent..................._____ | well but feel free to experiment however you | Phoenix Down..........._____ | like. Okay, first things first. Head up to | Tonic.................._____ | the Northern side of the village where | Ether.................._____ | you'll find a bridge with many barrels and | LeatherShoes..........._____ | boxes beside it. Check off of them to find | | a 'Tent' and a 'Tonic.' Cross the bridge o------------------------------o and watch a quick scene, then make a right past the fence up toward the spinning water wheel. If you examine the crate beside this shack you'll receive 'LeatherShoes.' Now you're free to explore the town and do some shopping if you wish. o- Weapon Shop ----------------o Note that you'll find the item shop at the | | back of the inn. Check out the house at the | Broadsword............280 GP | lower left end of town. This is the | Wooden Rod............200 GP | Beginner's House where you can learn all | Staff.................200 GP | about the basics of the game. Simply speak | | to the woman and tell her you're a beginner o------------------------------o to be let it. At the upper left side you can open the chest to receive '100 GP.' o- Armour Shop ----------------o Examine the box for a 'Tent,' the barrel for | | a 'Phoenix Down' and the pot for a 'Tonic.' | LetherShield...........90 GP | You may be wondering how to get that chest | Leather Cap............50 GP | in the upper left corner. Access the main | LeatherArmor...........80 GP | menu and change someone into a Thief, you'll | | notice that a white path appears in the o------------------------------o wall. Thieves have the power to see invisible paths so that's one bonus of o- Magic Shop -----------------o keeping a Thief in your party. They also | | let you run super fast. Cross the secret | Fire..................150 GP | path and open the chest to receive 'Ether.' | Ice...................150 GP | Climb the stairs and open the chest to fight | Bolt..................150 GP | a monster-in-a-box. This will happen | Cure..................180 GP | sometimes when you open chests in this game | Scan...................80 GP | so be careful. After defeating the monster | Antdot.................90 GP | you receive 'LeatherShoes.' That's about it | | for this place so leave the house. If o------------------------------o you're ready to proceed with the game go across the bridge and enter the mansion to o- Item Shop ------------------o the North. Speak with the man inside and a | | scene follows including a flashback. | Tonic..................40 GP | Overnight you will be given the key so now | Tent..................250 GP | you can access the canal. Head to the pub | | in the morning and go up to the girls that o------------------------------o are dancing on the stage. Stand on the stool on the left side and a quick little dancing event occurs. When it's over you can access the piano and play it, this is the first of eight pianos in the game that you can play and get better each time. Return to your ship. You will find the canal directly East of the village, it looks like a metal gate around a small river, approach it with the ship. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Torna Canal | (00005) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Approach the gate to automatically use the | | key to open it. Make your way along the | None...................... / | canal until you encounter something in the | | water. Unfortunately it's not exactly happy o------------------------------o to see you and jumps out to attack. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Karl Boss | HP: 650 | Level: 5 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | This boss is powerful but with you're new job classes you will be equally | | as powerful. The key to winning this battle is the Bolt spell which can | | be cast by a Black Mage and deals over 150 damage with each hit. Make | | sure you also have a White Mage available to heal your party as well. The | | boss has an attack called Tail Screw which automatically brings your life | | down to below ten putting you at great risk of dying. Just have your | | White Mage heal every turn and let the Black Mage so all the work. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Ship Graveyard | (00006) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Note that you can go down into your ship and | | rest in the back right hand room to fully | Tent..................._____ | restore your HP & MP. That comes in pretty | 990 GP................._____ | handy especially considering you just fought | Phoenix Down..........._____ | a boss. Cross the fallen mast over to the | Tonic.................._____ | right side and enter the door on the ship at | World Map.............._____ | the top. Descend the stairs and go down | Antidote..............._____ | through the door in the middle to find a | Antidote..............._____ | chest with a 'Tent' in it. Return to the | Phoenix Down..........._____ | previous room and go down through the door | | below the stairs. You can go underwater via o------------------------------o the stairs on the left side and head down the stairs under the water. You'll find a box here marked with a skull and crossbones. Examine it to receive a whopping '990 GP.' Go up the stairs on the left and then through the upper door. There's a staircase in this room on the left side that leads down to a chest containing 'Phoenix Down.' Leave this room and go down through the next one, there's a set of stairs here at the bottom right corner leading down. Grab the treasure chest on the right side containing 'Tonic' and then ascend the stairs above you. Watch out for the holes in the floor here, if you step on them you'll drop down to the room below. Head South out of this room and watch the scene in the next one., you'll get a chance to rest and heal here. Head up through the door at the upper right and save your game here. Climb up the stairs to find yourself back outside once again. Cross the broken mast to the right and go down until you reach another broken ship. Through the door you'll see something in the corner, pick it up to receive 'World Map.' Now go downstairs and open all three chests which contain 'Antidote,' 'Antidote,' and 'Phoenix Down.' Leave this room and jump across the rocks to the right. When you open the chest it reveals the entire other section of the ship. The rocks up at the top lead you across to the other side where a scene triggers. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Siren | HP: 900 | Level: 2 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | The Siren has two forms, a normal form and an undead form and she will | | switch between them periodically during the battle. The first form is | | weak to physical attacks and immune to magic while the second form is weak | | to magic and extremely strong against physical attacks. For the first | | form just attack normally and work on keeping your HP up. Note that you | | can make your cure spell target everybody by press right on the D-pad | | after you select it. When she changes to undead her attacks become a lot | | more powerful but do do yours. She has a weakness to fire and also to | | healing magic. Cast cure on her to do damage! Also in most Final Fantasy | | games using a Phoenix Down on the undead kills them instantly, I didn't | | try it but it may work. Use the appropriate attacks for each form. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Head up to exit the Ship graveyard and you'll find yourself on the world map. Go right and then head Southeast from there, then Southwest to stay along the coast and stop when you come to the small village of Kerwin Town. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Kerwin Town | (00007) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o When you enter Kerwin town go under the arch | | and the next arch on the right side of the | Antidote..............._____ | stairs. You'll find five barrels side by | Ice Rod................_____ | side here, the one second from the left has | | an 'Antidote' in it. Head right and then o------------------------------o down to find some more boxes. Notice that you can fit between the two boxes here, this is a secret route that leads down under the arch. Examine the box at the bottom to get an 'Ice Rod.' That about does it for things to find in this town so head o- Weapon Shop ----------------o around to the various shops and get some | | nice shopping done. Head to the pub and | Dirk..................300 GP | you'll find a piano in the back. Approach | Long Sword............480 GP | this piano and examine it to play, you have | Wooden Rod............200 GP | improved slightly over the last time you | Staff.................200 GP | played in Tule Village! Head up the stairs | | on the right and speak to the man there. o------------------------------o Now you know of your next destination. If you're hurt then sleep at the inn, otherwise o- Armour Shop ----------------o it's time to leave Kerwin Town. Northeast | | of the village you will eventually come to | BronzeShield..........300 GP | the North Mountain. There's a small little | BronzeHelmet..........480 GP | path you can see at the base of the | Bronze Armor..........200 GP | mountain, approach that to enter. | Bronze Plate..........200 GP | | Cotton Robe...........300 GP | | | o------------------------------o o- Magic Shop -----------------o o- Item Shop ------------------------------o | | | | | Fire..................150 GP | | Tonic..............................40 GP | | Ice...................150 GP | | Antidote...........................30 GP | | Bolt..................150 GP | | Eye Drop...........................20 GP | | Sleep.................300 GP | | Maiden's Kiss......................60 GP | | Cure..................180 GP | | Cornucopia.........................50 GP | | Antdot.................90 GP | | Soft..............................150 GP | | Mute..................280 GP | | Phoenix Down.....................1000 GP | | Protes................280 GP | | Tent..............................250 GP | | | | | o------------------------------o o------------------------------------------o __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ North Mountain | (00008) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Head through the open cave door and go left | | at the fork, down at the bottom you'll find | Phoenix Down..........._____ | a chest with a 'Phoenix Down' inside it. | Soft..................._____ | Return to the fork at go up, before you | | reach the door follow the path down and open o------------------------------o the chest to get a 'Soft.' Leave through the door at the upper left corner. Follow the outer path up and enter back into the cave. This just leads you to a door on the other side. Note that once you're outside again you absolutely must not touch those purple flowers, doing so will poison you and that isn't the most pleasant thing in the world. Across the bridge going North and then West back into the cave again you'll find a save point which comes in pretty handy. When you go outside a scene automatically takes over, be sure you're prepared. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Magissa / Faltzer | HP: 650 / 850 | Level: 8 / 8 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | This battle starts as just a fight against Magissa, after she's had her | | fill she decides to summon Faltzer into battle. Faltzer has more health | | than her and his Tackle is extremely powerful. Magissa only has 650 HP | | so you should try to wipe her out as quickly as possible. I find that | | Ice magic seems to be the most effective against her even though it really | | isn't a weakness. The same goes for Faltzer. Just use your most powerful | | attacks to take them down. I believe it may actually be possible to kill | | Magissa before she has the time to summon Faltzer, in order to do this you | | will need to be extremely fast of course, but it eases the fight a lot. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o If you didn't already during the battle you'll need to use an Antidote on Reina thanks to Magissa's poison arrow. You might also want to go back and save your game. Now head left and go through the door to find the dragon at the top of the mountain. Now you'll find yourself back on the world map with control of the dragon, you can fly over pretty much anything except mountains. You also won't get into any random battles which is nice. If you fly directly South of Kerwin Town you'll find another small town called Walz. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Walz | (00009) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Enter the town part first, there isn't a lot | | to do here but what you can do is check out | Tent..................._____ | all the shops and make some purchases to | Phoenix Down..........._____ | upgrade your equipment (especially your | 490 GP................._____ | armour.) Once this is done head left to | 1000 GP................_____ | find Walz Castle. Head up into the throne | 1000 GP................_____ | room and speak to the king. Head down from | Elf Cloak.............._____ | the throne room and go into the large door | | on the right above the stairs leading down. o------------------------------o Take the stairs in the lower right corner down to the storeroom and examine all the pots and boxes here to find 'Tent,' 'Phoenix Down' and '490 GP.' Now leave the castle and save your game on the world map. Return to the front hall and go down o- Weapon Shop ----------------o the stairs. Take the upper right door down | | another flight of stairs, now you'll find a | Battle Ax.............650 GP | thin path going around this floor. Here's | Long Sword............480 GP | the deal, a super dangerous enemy lurks on | Dirk..................300 GP | this floor and it's pretty much guaranteed | | you can't win so if you get into battle you o------------------------------o need to try your best to run away. When you come to a fork take the right path and o- Armour Shop ----------------o examine the three pots for '1000 GP,' '1000 | | GP,' and the last one will teach you the | Iron Shield...........390 GP | magic spell Speed. On the left side of this | Iron Helmet...........350 GP | floor in the treasure chest you will find an | Iron Armor............500 GP | 'Elf Cloak.' If you actually accomplished | Kung-fu Suit..........450 GP | that go out and save again, because you're | Cotton Robe...........300 GP | about to go through a dungeon and fight a | | boss. On the lower floor, one down from the o------------------------------o front hall but one up from the basement go through the lower right door to find o- Item Shop ------------------o yourself outside. Climb the stairs and head | | up when you get into the water. You'll come | Tonic..................40 GP | to a large waterfall and if you walk into it | Antidote...............30 GP | you'll enter a hidden cave. Follow the | Eye Drop...............20 GP | water through the area up and up and up | Maiden's Kiss..........60 GP | until you reach the fourth floor. Here | Cornucopia.............50 GP | you'll find a large wide open area with a | Soft..................150 GP | glowing green thing in the centre. That | Phoenix Down.........1000 GP | glowing green thing is actually a boss, it | Tent..................250 GP | signifies a new summon spell actually. When | | you defeat that boss you will be able to o------------------------------o summon it, but it isn't going to be easy. o- Magic Shop -----------------o O====================o==========o==========O | | | Boss: Shiva | HP: / | Level: / | | Slow...................80 GP | O====================o==========o==========O | Regen.................100 GP | | | | Mute..................320 GP | | Trying to win this battle at this point | | Haste.................320 GP | | in the game as opposed to coming back | | Chocobo...............300 GP | | later can be extremely difficult because | | Sylph.................350 GP | | Shiva is well... really powerful. It | | Remora................250 GP | | doesn't help that she's got a bunch of | | | | icy henchmen helping her out. One of | o------------------------------o | the few ways I find to win this battle | | besides excessive leveling is just to o---------------------------------o | turn every single person in your party | | into a Black Mage and cast Fire magic on all of them each turn. It should | | eventually take them out after a few casts then you can focus on Shiva. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Walz Tower | (0000A) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Start making your way up the tower, head all | | the way up to the fourth floor where the is | Maiden's Kiss.........._____ | a man lying on the ground. On the upper | Silk Robe.............._____ | left side is a small set of steps leading | SilvrArmBand..........._____ | down into the water. Climb those vines on | Ether.................._____ | the pillar and you'll pop out next to a | | chest containing 'Slik Robe.' Drop back o------------------------------o down and climb the stairs up to the save point. Save your game and open the chest on the right to get 'Maiden's Kiss.' Head up two more flights of stairs until you are faced with a choice of three vines. Take the one on the right and grab the chest at the top containing 'SilvrArmBand.' Drop down again and this time climb up the vine on the right. Grab the chest below you which contains and 'Ether' now head up the stairs and get ready for a quick scene before... O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Garula | HP: 1200 | Level: 3 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | Now here's an easy boss, there's a great trick that works here. Those | | Elf Toad enemies that appear in the tower can teach you the Blue Magic | | Toad Song and guess what, one cast of Toad Song turns Garula into a frog! | | When Garula is a frog it will continue to cast Toad on itself over and | | over to come back to normal shape so you're going to have to cast Toad | | Song every single turn. Garula has a powerful double counterattack so you | | should do your best only to attack him while in frog form. The physical | | attack from a Knight and the Fire spell from a Black Mage work well. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Once the boss has been defeated move around and gather all the crystal shards. You'll find Time Mage, Berserker, Red Mage, Summoner, and Sorcerer. After all the shards have been picked up a door opens up for you to use to escape. Watch the scene then you'll be back on the world map again. You may want to return to a town, rest at an inn and save your game. Once you're ready return to the Walz Meteor and go inside, here you will find a warp portal. Step onto it and it warps you to another meteor you haven't yet visited. This next town is actually quite far away, you need to first go West, then North, then Southwest through the forest and mountain area to reach the Town of Karnak. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Town of Karnak | (0000B) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Save your game outside this town and then go | | into the weapon shop.

Now go back up | | and through the door at the lower left. Run o------------------------------o across this upper walkway to the right side and go through the door to find a chest with an 'Elixir' inside. Return to the first floor and this time take the door at the top. Press the switch on the left to make the elevator go up and when you get to the top exit the elevator and open the chest on the right which has a 'Phoenix Down.' Head left and go up thorugh the door where you'll find another elevator. Ride it up then climb the stairs on the left when you come out to find yourself in a vent. Follow the linear path until you come to a door, through it is another elevator. Coming out of the elevator you've got your choice of four vents and three doors. Take the vent that's second to the right and you'll land right beside a treasure box. Open it to receive 'Thief'sGlove.' Ride the conveyer belt across and take the vent again to get back where you were. Now take the far right vent. When you drop head right then down and run through the vents until you reach a chest containing 'Green Beret.' Descend the stairs and ride the conveyer belt back across to where you came from, then go up through the door and ride the ladder up. Now take the vent that's second from the left. Use the stairs at the upper right then press the button to open a door. The room has a chest with 'Moonring' inside. Return back up the stairs and enter the room on the left. Don't cross the conveyer belt but instead go through the door on the left and save your game. Head through the door above the save point to reach a large room. Go up and press the button on the left to ride the platform up a bit. Now press the button just above you to move the platform below the chest over one square. Head down and around to the switch on the left and press it. Run across to the right side and press both the switches that you come to. Head down and left. There are two switches here, get on the platform beside the upper switch and press the switch while standing on it. When you reach the top you'll be able to access the chest and get the 'Elixir.' Heal your characters and head up through the door, prepare yourself for a boss fight. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: LiqudFlame | HP: 3000 | Level: 19 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | Depending on how your party is set up this will either be a very difficult | | boss, or a somewhat difficult boss. It has a weakness to ice, an extreme | | weakness so much that the Ice2 spell deals 900 damage and with only 3000 | | HP you can see it isn't going to last long. The problem is that its | | attacks are extremely powerful, just the Fire2 spell can deal nearly 300 | | damage to a single character. Fortunately he only casts this as a | | counterattack which means that Ice2 is the only thing you should be using | | to hurt him so all your attacks count. There is one exception however, | | the boss has three forms, humanoid, hand and tornado. During the hand | | state magic cannot be used and in order to get him to the next phase he | | must take damage so the only time you should use a physical attack is in | | the hand form. Cast Ice2 a few times in other forms and he'll go down. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Following the boss battle head up to the crystal and watch the scene. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Karnak Castle | (0000D) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o When you find yourself in front of the save | | point go back down and examine the pot to | 2000 GP................_____ | restore your HP & MP back to full again. | Elixir................._____ | Save your game and then head up through the | Ribbon................._____ | door. Open the cell door on your right and | Shuriken..............._____ | grab the chest containing '2000 GP.' Note | 2000 GP................_____ | that the Gigas enemies you find in the | Elixir................._____ | treasure chests here can teach a Blue Mage | HuntingKnife..........._____ | both Aero and Aero 2. Head up and when you | Elixir................._____ | reach the door then go down into the cell, | Elixir................._____ | there's two chests here and the one that | Elixir................._____ | isn't open has a monster-in-a-box. After | Elixir................._____ | defeating them you get an 'Elixir.' When | Elf Cloak.............._____ | you go through the door make a left and open | LgtningSkill..........._____ | the one chest among the three of them, | Fire Rod..............._____ | there's monsters inside and once they area | | defeated you receive 'Ribbon.' Run to the o------------------------------o right and open the chest for more monsters and a 'Shuriken.' Go up through the double doors and around to the lower doors, from here continue up the stairs to the main hall and then take the upper right door. Open the two chests here for '2000 GP' and 'Elixir.' Take the stairs at the upper right and follow the path around to reach a chest with monsters in it and then a 'HuntingKnife.' Return to the room with all the chests and run to the bottom where you'll find two more both containing monsters and two 'Elixir.' Take the bottom exit and go left into the next room ,right here are tow more chests and two more 'Elixir' with monsters. At the top is one 'Elixir' with monsters and '2000 GP' without. Follow the upper left stairs around to the bottom again and battle the monsters in the chest for an 'Elf Cloak.' Finally it's time to return to the front hall, before leaving the castle take the path left of the front door and battle the monsters in the chest, afterward you automatically learn the magic Esna. Open the chest on the right side and defeat the monsters for a 'LgtningSkill.' Now leave the castle and get ready for... O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Iron Claw | HP: 900 | Level: 39 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | This boss actually starts out as a Sergeant but transforms soon after, you | | should start by casting Ice2 on all of them to eliminate the guard dogs. | | Luckily damage you do to the Sergeant counts toward damage to Iron Claw | | when he transforms. This isn't really a boss so much as its a slightly | | more difficult normal battle. If you've got extra time you might want to | | wait until he casts Doom Claw on your Blue Mage so you can learn it. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Escape from the castle now just by running down and you're home free. You'll get three new crystal shards and thus, three new job classes: Trainer, Geomancer and Ninja. Head back to the town of Karnak. If you go to the upper right corner fire is no longer blocking the stairs. Climb them and run around to the left side where you'll find a barrel with a 'Fire Rod' inside. That's it, time to leave Karnak (after saving and resting of course.) Make your way Southwest on the map and then Southeast. Watch out when passing through the desert for the dangerous Quadrharpy enemy, however this enemy can teach a Blue Mage the Aqua Rake spell, one of the most powerful Blue Magic spells in the game. Eventually you will reach the Library of Ancients in a forest. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Library of Ancients | (0000?) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Head into the library and go up to the | | second floor, if you examine the pot here | Ether.................._____ | you will heal HP & MP fully. On the top | Ninja Suit............._____ | floor there are three books on the ground, | Phoenix Down..........._____ | examining the one on the right triggers a | | battle, different pages correspond to o------------------------------o different enemies here. Page 32 can teach a Blue Mage Aero 2, Page 64 can teach a Blue Mage L.5 Doom and Page 256 can teach a Blue Mage Moon Flute so it's a great battle to learn some new skills. Now return to the first floor and go down the stairs on the left. Head up and the bookshelf moves out of your way. Step into that little hole in the shelf above you to move it back. Run right and go down through the two holes to reach the ladder. Climb it and go up to the right, the shelf will automatically move. Walk across the top of the shelves and examine the far right wall to move it again. Go down the stairs and check the shelf with the crack in the floor to reveal a hole. Drop down the hole then head right at the fork to find a chest with an 'Ether' in it. Now take the door at the bottom of this room. Descend the stairs and climb up the ladder next to the opening. Examine the books at the top to reveal a secret opening. Head through and walk along the tops of the shelves until you reach a book at the end. Be sure you're fully healed then examine the book. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Ifrit | HP: 3000 | Level: 22 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | The trick to beating this boss is being very quick, since his attacks are | | powerful you'll want to beat him as fast as you can so he doesn't have a | | chance to lay waste. Unlike most recent bosses he has no counterattack | | so you're free to use whatever offensive attacks you've got. Ice2 will | | deal about 1100 damage and with only 3000 life you know what that means. | | Ifrit also has a weakness to water so if you learned the Aqua Rake Blue | | Magic from the Quadrharpy then you're even better off than most. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Now return to the previous room where you found the secret entrance and go through the normal opening at the bottom of the stairs. Thanks to the power of Ifrit you can get past this shelf. There's a hole on the left side leading down out of this room to a chest with a 'Ninja Suit' inside. Return to the previous room and continue on through the hole at the top. Descend down the stairs and make a left, when you come to a fork take the South branch and open the chest for a 'Phoenix Down.' Take the right path at the fork and go through the door. There's another opening here right beside you, now the bookshelf in this room will move automatically, to move it back climb that little set of steps and examine the shelf. Go down and right, climb the small steps here and examine the shelf to reveal a book that triggers a battle. Following the battle go through the hole and save your game. Head down the stairs and enter the room at the end, someone is there but all isn't well... O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Biblos | HP: 3600 | Level: 19 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | Lucky for you Biblos has an extreme weakness to fire which will make that | | Ifrit summon spell you just obtained that much more appealing. Biblos' | | most dangerous attack is the Wind Slash which deals nearly 250 damage to | | everyone in your party. Cast spells like Ifrit, Fire2 and have a Ninja | | in your party throw the Fire Skill that Ifrit dropped in the previous | | battle for an extra 1000 damage. Any physical damage you want to do you | | will have to do early on in the fight before he casts Protes on himself. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Now there's a quick scene here and then before you know it you need to make a trip back to the town of Karnak. You'll find Cid upstairs at the pub, speak to him and then return to the Fire Ship. After a scene you'll be in control of the ship, you can return to the library and speak to Cid and Mid. Get back on the Fire Ship and press square to look at the world map. You'll see a crescent shaped island at the Southeast corner of the world with a flashing dot on it, that's your destination. Disembark there and enter the town. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Crescent Town | (0000E) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o A quick event occurs just as you get inside. | | Try to leave the town only to find you won't | None...................... / | be going anywhere anytime soon. Oh well. | | Start by going into the house at the lower o------------------------------o right corner of town and speaking to the blue haired person. You'll learn the "Strength Song" for a Bard to sing. Now play the piano to bring your total up to four. Now check out the various shops in this town, that's about all there is to do o- Weapon Shop ----------------o here. Head South to the small forest and go | | into it, here you'll find a Black Chocobo. | Fire Bow.............2500 GP | You simply need to run up to it and press X | Ice Bow..............2500 GP | to catch it, afterward you'll be ready to | LightningBow.........2500 GP | fly it but first you get a special presant, | Silver Harp...........800 GP | two new job classes: Hunter and Bard. | | Nifty. Anyway now that you can fly this o------------------------------o thing, follow the chain of islands West until they stop and reach land again at the o- Armour Shop ----------------o bottom of the large continent. Note there | | is an area of forest here which is good | Plumed Hat............350 GP | because Black Chocobos can only land in | Poet Robe............1000 GP | forested areas. You'll find a forest here | | and along the way you'll pass a cave. This o------------------------------o is Jachol Cave and is entirely optional, no bosses or anything in fact just a short o- Magic Shop -----------------o couple rooms with three chests at the end. | | | Fire2.................600 GP | o- Item Shop ------------------------------o | Ice2..................600 GP | | | | Bolt2.................600 GP | | Tonic..............................40 GP | | Poison................290 GP | | Antidote...........................30 GP | | Sleep.................300 GP | | Eye Drop...........................20 GP | | Fire..................150 GP | | Maiden's Kiss......................60 GP | | Ice...................150 GP | | Cornucopia.........................50 GP | | Bolt..................150 GP | | Soft..............................150 GP | | | | Phoenix Down.....................1000 GP | | | | Tent..............................250 GP | | | | | | | o------------------------------------------o o------------------------------o Note that the next two sections are optional, but one is a very short cave and the other is a town where you can upgrade your weapons for an upcoming dungeon so checking both of them out is still highly recommended, it won't take long. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Jachol Cave | (0000F) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o When you enter Jachol Cave press the button | | to move the wall. The only enemies you will | Shuriken..............._____ | encounter in here are squirrels, ones that | Tent..................._____ | you fought at the beginning of the game and | Spark Whip............._____ | another called SkullEater that cannot be | | killed at the moment and you must run from o------------------------------o because its attack deals over 1000 damage. They're not too hard to run from so you should be okay. Go down to the bottom where you will see a whole bunch of buttons but only one is the real one. After a few seconds it reveals itself and you have to press it before they all come back, otherwise it changes position and you must try again. When you hit it the wall moves and you can get to the upper right corner. Examine the open chest to find a switch that unlocks the door. Now in this room go up and head left to find a chest with 'Shuriken' inside. At the bottom the chest has a 'Tent' and at the top around the left side of the path and down is a chest with a 'Spark Whip.' If these chests are empty then it means you let that pickpocketing wolf out of jail, and empty chests are your punishment for your jailbreaking habits. Anyway leave the cave through the same way you came in. Once you're back on the world map again head West and then South to reach the small village of Jachol. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Jachol Village | (0000G) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o All your have to do here is upgrade your | | equipment, the armour shop kind of sucks as | None...................... / | do the magic and item shops but the weapon | | shop has new and powerful weapons for just o------------------------------o about every job class you have right now. The other thing you'll want to do is head into the pub and play the piano bringing your total up to five. Now from here return to your Black Chocobo and ride it North to the Library of Ancients. Head o- Weapon Shop ----------------o inside and speak to Cid and Mid. | | | Cleaver..............3200 GP | o- Armour Shop ----------------------------o | Coral Sword..........2800 GP | | | | Mage Slasher..........900 GP | | Green Beret......................2500 GP | | Trident..............2700 GP | | Ninja Suit.......................3000 GP | | Katana...............5800 GP | | Poet Robe........................1000 GP | | Silver Bow...........1500 GP | | | | | o------------------------------------------o o------------------------------o o- Item Shop ------------------------------o o- Magic Shop -----------------o | | | | | Tonic..............................40 GP | | Cure2.................620 GP | | Antidote...........................30 GP | | Raise.................700 GP | | Eye Drop...........................20 GP | | Muddle................650 GP | | Maiden's Kiss......................60 GP | | Mute..................280 GP | | Cornucopia.........................50 GP | | Protes................280 GP | | Soft..............................150 GP | | Cure..................180 GP | | Phoenix Down.....................1000 GP | | Scan...................80 GP | | Tent..............................250 GP | | Antdot.................90 GP | | | | | o------------------------------------------o o------------------------------o __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ The Sand Tides | (0000H) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o When you arrive at the Library of Ancients | | it seems Cid and Mid have a plan but first | None...................... / | you must go to the Sand Tides. The Sand | | Tides are located West of the Library of o------------------------------o Ancients, you must travel there on foor as there is no forest to land your Chocobo. Enter the tides and try to cross to trigger a scene with Cid and Mid. Select yes or no depending on whether you're ready to fight a boss or not. You can leave and save your game, then return and speak to Mid to trigger the fight. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Sandworm | HP: 3000 | Level: 18 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | This boss shouldn't be too difficult even if you can't exploit his | | weakness. The boss has a weakness to water meaning that you probably | | don't have any magic of this element unless you dared to go up against the | | Quadrharpy and learn the Aqua Rake spell, if you did then you can totally | | annihilate this boss. If not than stick with normal attacks and ice magic | | which won't be too effective but slowly but surely you can take him down. | | Usually the boss seems too busy changing from hole to hole to attack you, | | if he uses Quicksand on your party simply counter it with a Cure2 on all. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Cross on the dirt bridge and step off into the sand on the right. You'll be brought down to another safe place. From here take a couple of steps down and ride the sand to the next safe place where you can walk off the bottom again, then take a couple of steps left and drop off the bottom. At the final one right above the exit walk left once and go down to reach it. Leave the Sand Tides and make your way South to reach the abandoned town of Gorn. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Gorn Town | (0000I) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Head up toward the stairs to see a | | mysterious figure, then to the lower right | Shuriken..............._____ | to see it again. Follow it up the stairs | Shuriken..............._____ | and into the broken building at the top, | | you'll be dropped down into a rather odd o------------------------------o looking area. Gather your party and head through the door at the upper right corner. When you step into the square you'll be warped to a completely different part of the world. Climb up two flights of stairs and then go around through the door leading down. Take the door on the left and check the bottom corner, you'll see three chests behind a wall. Pull the switch on the wall and the path opens up. Check the three chests to receive two 'Shuriken' items and the third one teaches you the Mini spell. If you go into the middle room you can rest and heal back to full HP & MP. Now exit back to the room you came from and press the switch on the upper left wall to unlock the door. Save your game here and then continue up along the linear path until a scene takes over. Follow Cid down into the ship and speak to him. Prepare for a boss battle. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Clay Claw | HP: 2000 | Level: 43 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | Well this is pretty much just a filler boss because its HP is painfully | | low, its attacks aren't strong and its weakness is easy to exploit. All | | you have to do is cast Bolt2 about three times, maybe throw a Lightning | | Skill item with a Ninja too. If you have a Knight equipped with a Coral | | Sword from Jachol Village you'll be seeing some massive damage too. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Now you'll be able to pilot your very own airship. The next thing you want to do is fly it back to Gorn Town, when you get close a scene occurs as something comes up out of the sand. Return to Crescent Island and land your ship on the dock where you came from and speak to Cid and Mid. When you learn of your next destination you can head there immediately (Tycoon Meteor) or you can check out a couple villages you haven't been to before. Skip ahead to the Tycoon Meteor section if you aren't going to bother exploring the world. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Rikks Village | (0000J) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Rikks Village is Bartz's hometown, it's | | located directly Northwest of the Wind | None...................... / | Shrine, just past the mountain range. | | There's a single space of green grass where o------------------------------o you can land your airship here. Staying at the inn here is 100% free and it triggers a scene during the night if you wish to view it. Head to the small house at the upper left corner of town and examine the purple music box on the table to trigger a o- Armour Shop ----------------o flashback. Afterward speak to the person | | who lives in your house to learn the | Green Beret..........2500 GP | "Temptation Song."

When you enter this | Ramuh.................._____ | village the first thing you should do is | | make your way to the upper right where o------------------------------o you'll find a bunch of sheep grazing. Go behind the sheep at the left corner and examine it, remember you must be BEHIND it. The sheep will kick you over the fence, then you can talk to the Bard and say you're here to save the crystal. The Bard o- Armour Shop ----------------o teaches you the "Love Song," now just follow | | the path to exit the town, and immediately | Fire Ring..........50,000 GP | head back in. There's no weapons shop and | Coral Ring.........50,000 GP | this town and good luck trying to afford | Angel Ring.........50,000 GP | anything in the armour shop.

Examine all the pots | | here to get 'Ether,' 'Elixir,' 'Phoenix o------------------------------o Down,' and 'Maiden'sKiss.' Leave the through the front door of the castle but before you take the stairs out of here entirely head left, the guard that was blocking the archway before has now stepped aside. Follow the path up and into the room. Press the button on the wall to reveal a secret door and a secret path that leads to the upper left where you will find 'Shuriken,' 'Katana,' and after speaking to the guy, a 'Monster Bell' in the chest behind him. Speaking to him also put the 'HealingStaff' in your inventory which is incredibly useful. Equip it on a White Mage and have him attack your party for a free healing spell. Now it's finally time to head for Tycoon Meteor. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Tycoon Meteor | (0000M) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Approach the front of the meteor and examine | | it to open the door, now head inside and | Adamantite............._____ | grab the 'Adamantite.' When you try to | | leave however a boss attacks. When the boss o------------------------------o has been defeated return to the airship dock at Crescent Island and give Cid and Mid the Adamantite to install. Now whenever you press X an arrow appears near the ship and you have the choice of either landing or flying up to the sky. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Adamantaim | HP: 2000 | Level: 20 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | His health total may seem low but that's deceptive considering his defense | | is so high. The only way you're going to be able to deal a good amount | | of damage to him is using spells like Ice2 and Shiva, but even though he's | | weak against them they still only deal about normal damage, but at least | | they aren't significantly reduced like physical attacks. Have Cure2 | | ready because he does a dangerous double attack, you had just better hope | | he doesn't do both of them to the same person, or they're as good as dead. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Ruins of Ronka | (0000N) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o When you ascend up into the sky you'll have | | the Floating Castle right in front of you. | Gold Armor............._____ | before you can go inside you must first | Elixir................._____ | defeat all the guns however, there are four | Phoenix Down..........._____ | of them, two on the left and two on the | Gold Shield............_____ | right. Note that you can learn the Missile | Potion................._____ | Blue Magic from the Rocket Gun and the Burn | 5000 GP................_____ | Ray Blue Magic from the FlameThrow enemy. | Shuriken..............._____ | If you make a stop at Rikks Village before | Power Wrist............_____ | this and pick up a few extra LgtningSkills | Moonring..............._____ | you can really speed these battles up, not | AncientSword..........._____ | that they're that hard anyway, just exploit | Cottage................_____ | their weakness to lightning magic and | Ether.................._____ | attacks (including the Coral Sword) and | | they'll be down in no time. If you return o------------------------------o to the surface in between battles the guns will still be destroyed when you come back up again. When the four cannons have been defeated a central cannon pops out, approach it and press the X button to examine it and trigger the battle. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Soul Gun | HP: 22,500 | Level: 36 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | What this boss has going for it is a lot of HP but not a lot else. There | | are three parts, the main gun part and a couple of Launchers which will | | be taken out quickly. The two most effective things you can do are | | summon Ramuh and throw LgtningSkills. After that there's a Bolt2 spell | | targeting all. A knight with the 2-handed ability and a Coral Sword | | equipped is devastating here as well. After the Launchers are gone the | | gun will spend the rest of the battle chanrging up its super attack. The | | beam cannon is powerful but at only about 200 damage to each person in | | your party, the power doesn't live up to the charge time it takes. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Fly the ship into the opening created by destroying the cannon. Enter the Ruins of Ronka and descend the stairs on the left side. You may want to place a Thief into your party at this point because there will be a few hidden paths in this area, but it's not required. Cross the invisible bridge to the right and then another one below you to reach the chest containing 'Gold Armor.' Descend the stairs to the next room. The secret path is on the left side, next you'll come to a choice of four paths. Take the second from the right path up and go left on the second highest panel, from there head up to reach the chest containing 'Elixir.' Return to the bottom and take the far left path. Now you'll come to two staircases, ignore both of them and head right to find a chest with a 'Phoenix Down' in it. Go right then down. Take the stairs down and back up again to find yourself in the same room. Up at the top of this path there's an invisible panel leading across to the other side where you'll find a chest with a 'Gold Shield' in it. Return back down the stairs and up again. Make your way to the two staircases you passed before. Take the stairs that are leading up to reach a save point where you should save your game (obviously) and you'll probably need to use a Cottage by now. Head back down these stairs and then down the ones on your left. Up the stairs on the right and then up the stairs again. Then down the stairs. Go right and down through the door and then up the stairs again. Open the chest right above you to receive 'Potion' and then take the stairs down on the right side, they lead up around to a super treasure chest room. Note that the panel exactly two steps up from the stairs is a booby trap and will drop you down, but only the floor you just came from and it takes about two seconds to get back. Walk around the edge regardless. The chests contain '5000 GP,' 'Shuriken,' 'Power Wrist,' 'Moonring,' and 'AncientSword.' Drop down the hole in the middle and head up the stairs below you. This time go through the door leading down beside the stairs and continue down the stairs at the bottom. Climb up the stairs and go through the door below you, watch out for that little open space you'd be surprised how easy it is to actually fall in. Make your way to the upper left corner and go down the stairs. There's another set of stairs here and a door, take the stairs up to find a save point which should come in handy around now. Return to the previous floor and this time go through the door to reach another set of stairs. Proceed through the door on this floor and go down the stairs on the right. At the bottom of this path is an invisible platform you can walk on to reach the two chests containing 'Cottage' and 'Ether.' Back up the stairs again head down through the door and press the button on the wall. This reveals a staircase down to the lower level. Speak to the man and prepare yourself for the boss battle. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Archeoavis | HP: 6400/2500 | Level: 21 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | By far the hardest boss in the game up to this point Archeoavis is going | | to truly test your team's worth. You had better not come into this battle | | until you are fully prepared. Archeoavis has multiples weaknesses and | | immunities that change without any warning and the only ways to know | | what his immunity is, is to either Scan him or watch his attacks. If he | | casts Lightning he's immune to lightning, if he casts Blaze he's immune to | | fire. That's the idea. Personally I try to avoid keeping up with all | | his immunities and focus on other methods of damage. A 2-handed knight | | equipped with the AnceintSword can do fairly good damage but to be honest | | most of the damage for me came from throwing the Skurikens I had been | | picking out of treasure boxes up to this point, each one you throw will | | deal about 1000 damage. The tricky thing is that when you beat the boss | | he just comes back to life again with between 2000 and 3000 HP and extra | | powerful physical attacks. Annoying yes, but it seemed like his physical | | resistance disappeared after being killed once, suddenly the Knight was | | deal twice as much and the Ninja could hit for more than 50 so... attack. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Follow the man up into the crystal room and watch the scene here. Afterward you'll get four new job classes: Samurai, Lancer, Dancer, and Chemist. When you've got control of your airship again simply land it anywhere to continue the scene. Return to the ship dock at Crescent Island and speak to Cid. You'll find a note in the room with the bookshelves, the one beside the resting room. The note is on the table. Off to Tycoon Meteor. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ The Meteors | (0000O) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Visit Tycoon Meteor and speak with Cid and | | Mid, now your job is to visit all the other | None...................... / | meteors which isn't really a problem. Head | | Northwest to reach the Karnak Meteor. When o------------------------------o you arrive it seems the place is a "den of monsters." Enter the meteor and you'll see an odd shape on top of the warp panel. Examine it to trigger a boss fight. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Titan | HP: 2500 | Level: 1 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | Titan is a fairly basic boss with some powerful physical attacks and not | | much else. Have someone designated to be be able to cast Cure2 on whoever | | was hit by the most recent physical attack. Keep their HP up as much as | | possible (or correction, keep ONE person's HP up as much as possible) | | because when Titan is defeated he lets loose the Earth Shaker attack | | before he dies which deals about 500 damage to everyone in your party. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Following the battle you get the ability to summon Titan in battle from this point on which is kind of nice. Leave the meteor and make your way East to reach the Walz meteor. You might think this one is safe, but think again! O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Byurobolos | HP: 2200 | Level: 22 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | Seriously for 600 GP you can win this fight easily. Head to Rikks and | | buy three LgtningSkills and just use them when the battle starts for a | | guaranteed win. Regardless of what your strategy is you MUST NOT use | | any attacks under any circumstances that do not target every single | | enemy. When each of them dies they cast the Arise spell which revives | | every single other one automatically, but doesn't work if none are dead. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o The next meteor is of course the Gorn Meteor right below where the floating castle used to be. Enter the meteor to find Cid and Mid and a boss as well. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: KimaBrain | HP: 3300 | Level: 19 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | Well this boss is just a test to see whether you can survive the Blaze | | attack or not. If Galuf was you're White Mage turn your Black Mage into | | a White Mage for this battle because you're going to need someone capable | | of casting Cure2 on everyone. The boss will also occasionally cast the | | Aqua Rake spell so if you haven't learned it by now that I guess this | | would be the perfect opportunity since you'll probably be hit anyway. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o On your map now are four moving indicators showing where you need to go, where they all meet. Fly your airship to this peninsula and step on the warp panel to trigger a scene. This is you last chance to do whatever you want to do in this world so GET IT DONE before stepping on to the warp portal. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ The Island | (0000P) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o When you arrive in Galuf's world you'll find | | yourself on an island with nothing to do but | None...................... / | get in random battles. What you need to do | | is use a Tent to continue the game, and the o------------------------------o enemy Pao you fight on this island will drop one every time so if you want an infinite supply of Tents then keep fighting battles. Something I just noticed while typing this that I've never seen before is that if you just stand still on the island for long enough you'll get a quick little scene suggesting you use a tent. Do so to proceed with the game. You'll get into a fight with the Abductor, whether you win or lose this fight makes no difference. If you win you get an Ether but you're still kidnapped when you open the chest. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ X-Death's Castle | (0000Q) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o You'll be in cntrol of Galuf when everything | | is all set. Through the door at the top of | None...................... / | the room you'll find a save point (which you | | need to use) and a couple of healing springs o------------------------------o in the next room up. Back in the front hall again take the stairs on the left side down and go down again on the next floor and the floor after that. Now prepare yourself for a boss fight... kind of. It's just you against Gilgamesh. His attacks are weak considering you battle him with only Galuf. You'll need to deal about 1500 damage before the battle ends. I recommend changing Galuf to a Monk with the ability to use White magic, that's pretty much a guaranteed, so is changing to a Monk and just using items. If your level is too low simply level up against the enemies and heal back to full at the springs on the main floor. When Gilgamesh is defeated you'll have your entire party back together again. Return to the main floor and leave X-Death's Castle. Head West until you reach the Big Bridge, save your game and step onto it. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Big Bridge | (0000R) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o As you make your way across the Big Bridge | | you'll have to fight your way through hordes | None...................... / | of enemies. You'll have to fight probably | | around seven or eight groups of enemies o------------------------------o before you can finally reach the other end of the bridge. Now head through the door. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Gilgamesh | HP: N/A | Level: N/A | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | Do not underestimate this boss or he will absolutely waste you. I say | | this because it's easy to underestimate him at the beginning, his attacks | | are weak and his spells are weaker. After awhile of pummeling you'll be | | wondering if the battle actually started yet. Eventually Gilgamesh | | surrenders saying you're too strong... NOT! While pretending to surrender | | he's casting all sorts of support magic on himself including Haste which | | makes him move lightning fast in this battle, he has higher defense now | | and he's got the Jump attack which deals about 400 damage or more when it | | connects with a single character, and despite this only being a single | | character hit, his incredible speed will make you wonder what happened to | | your party at the game over screen. Hit as hard as you can with whatever | | magic you have and if you've got any Shurikens left throw them now. You | | might also want to pick up the GobPunch and Aero 2 Blue Magic spells. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Following the battle make sure to heal because you're still going to have to face two more normal fights after this. Eventually a number of events occur and you find yourself on the world map. Begin the long trek East until you reach the small village Lugor Bordertown, there's no way you can miss it. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Lugor Bordertown | (0000S) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o The most important thing in the game, | | there's a secret here you can do to make | None...................... / | infinite money. Enter the bar and step onto | | the stage. Agree to dance and you will make o------------------------------o 100 GP. Do it again and you'll make another 100 GP. Keep doing it. Infinite money! Well in practice it doesn't quite work out as well as you would think because it takes to long and 100 GP is pretty insignificant at this point, you'll get more o- Weapon Shop ----------------o than that in the same amount of time | | fighting outside and you'll get experience | HalcyonBlade.........3400 GP | for that. Before you leave the pub there's | War Hammer...........6400 GP | a secret path through the wall below the bar | Katana...............5800 GP | that leads up to the sixth piano. Getting | Half Moon............5600 GP | there. Anyway all there is left to do now | Wind Lance...........5400 GP | is some shopping, the weapon and armour | Dark Bow.............3800 GP | shops are pretty well stocked and the magic | Dream Harp...........1600 GP | store has new new (albeit not very useful) | Chain Whip...........3300 GP | spells. Before you leave town stay at the | | inn for a scene during the night, it's free o------------------------------o too. Leave the town and head South past the castle, then East, then North and finally o- Armour Shop ----------------o East again to reach the Moogle Forest. | | | Gold Shield..........3000 GP | o- Item Shop ------------------------------o | Gold Helmet..........3500 GP | | | | Green Beret..........2500 GP | | Potion............................360 GP | | Wizard Hat...........1500 GP | | Tonic..............................40 GP | | Gold Armor...........4000 GP | | Phoenix Down.....................1000 GP | | Ninja Suit...........3000 GP | | Soft..............................150 GP | | Earth Robe...........2000 GP | | Maiden'sKiss.......................60 GP | | | | Cornucopia.........................50 GP | o------------------------------o | Eye Drop...........................20 GP | | Antidote...........................30 GP | o- Magic Shop -----------------o | Ether............................1500 GP | | | | Holy Water........................150 GP | | Drain................3000 GP | | Cottage...........................600 GP | | Break................3000 GP | | Giant Drink.......................110 GP | | Bio..................3000 GP | | Power Drink.......................110 GP | | Blink................3000 GP | | Speed Drink.......................110 GP | | Shell................3000 GP | | Hard Body.........................110 GP | | Esna.................3000 GP | | Hero Drink........................110 GP | | Comet................3000 GP | | | | Slow2................3000 GP | | | | Return...............3000 GP | | | | | o------------------------------------------o o------------------------------o __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Moogle Forest Cave | (0000T) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Enter the forest and watch a quick scene, | | now drop down the hole. Step into the water | 4400 GP................_____ | to have the current carry you. You will | Phoenix Down..........._____ | encounter random battles as you float along. | | Note that if you get into a battle with the o------------------------------o BloodSlime enemy you can learn the Red Feast Blue Magic. When you reach a safe area use this as a chance to access your menu since you can't do it while in the water. Go down the stairs and back into the water again. When you reach the second platform go right and open the chest to receive '4400 GP.' Drop down the waterfall then when you hit the wall go up and left to find a 'Phoenix Down' in the treasure box. Hang onto that. Make your way over to the right and climb up the stairs, there you will encounter a boss when you approach. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Tyrasaurus | HP: 5000 | Level: 29 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | You should be able to defeat this weak boss no problem, it's more like | | a random battle than a boss. I'm not sure if he's weak against cure | | magic (using a Phoenix Down on the boss may kill it if it actually | | succeeds, but mine didn't an I only had one) but really no matter what you | | do as long as it has the element of fire, then you just can't lose. Going | | back to fight this boss I realize that simply using an Elixir on it will | | bring it's health from 5000 to a single digit number, there's an easy win. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o The Moogle traces a path for you to take to reach the forest, you cannot step onto the sand otherwise very bad things happen. Follow his path North until you reach a large forest, then East along the thin path, North at the fork then Southeast at the top. When you reach the opening in the rocks leading to the large forested area, from standing on the very first forested panel take three steps up and five steps right to reach the Moogle Village. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Moogle Village | (0000U) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o You'll find the Moogle that you just saved | | at the upper right corner of the village. | Ether.................._____ | Speak to him and then follow the Moogle into | Cottage................_____ | his house to find a gold mine. There are | Dancing Dirk..........._____ | six chests here containing 'Ether,' | Phoenix Down..........._____ | 'Cottage,' 'Dancing Dirk,' 'Phoenix Down,' | 10,000 GP.............._____ | '10,000 GP,' and '1 GP.' Leave the house | 1 GP..................._____ | and enter the house in the middle to find a | Elf Cloak.............._____ | Moogle costume, put it on then enter the | | house on the left. Speak to the Moogle in o------------------------------o here and then open the chest to receive 'Elf Cloak.' Exit the village to get the costume off then go back in and talk to the Moogle in front of his house at the upper right corner. This will trigger a scene and then you'll be brought to... __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Val Castle | (0000V) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o Following the events in the throne room you | | might want to put a Thief into your party so | Hero Drink............._____ | you can see the hidden paths. Open the | Angel Robe............._____ | chest on the left side to get a 'Hero | RegalCutlass..........._____ | Drink' and then below that down the hidden | | path is a chest that teaches you the spell o------------------------------o Telepo when opened. Ascend the stairs on the right side and to all the way to the top of the castle. Speak to Krile to learn about your next destination and then return to the throne room. Head down two rooms to reach the outside courtyard of the o- Weapon Shop ----------------o castle. The first door you come to has an | | inn and an item shop inside. Enter the door | HalcyonBlade.........3400 GP | on the far left side. There's weapon, | War Hammer...........6400 GP | armour and magic shops here but your | Katana...............5800 GP | destination is the set of stairs at the top. | Half Moon............5600 GP | Go up until you're on the roof and then go | Wind Lance...........5400 GP | down the hidden steps on your right that | Dark Bow.............3800 GP | cannot be seen because of the tower in | Dream Harp...........1600 GP | front. At the bottom you'll find a chest | Chain Whip...........3300 GP | with 'Angel Robe' inside. Leave this whole | | shop area. If you go down you'll find a o------------------------------o pool of water and when you stand at the lower left corner it sucks you outside of o- Armour Shop ----------------o the castle. Run all the way around to moat | | the the far upper right side and examine all | Gold Shield..........3000 GP | around that area until you find something | Gold Helmet..........3500 GP | called a great sword which is in fact the | Green Beret..........2500 GP | 'RegalCutlass.' Return to the upper left | Wizard Hat...........1500 GP | side and pull the switch to be brought back | Gold Armor...........4000 GP | into the castle. Once you leave the castle | Ninja Suit...........3000 GP | it'll be awhile before you are allowed back | Earth Robe...........2000 GP | in again so make sure you've done everything | Gauntlet.............3000 GP | you want to do and found the items before | | you actually go.

The first thing you want to do is leave the house. You'll find three wolves at the upper right corner, speak to all three of them to learn the o- Weapon Shop ----------------o "Requiem." After that it's all about the | | shopping here, there's a ton of stuff to | Cluster..............5100 GP | buy, unfortunately only a small amount of it | Crossbow.............5000 GP | is new stuff.

You'll find a chest with a 'Cottage' inside at the bottom of the stairs. Now leave the cave and cross the bridge. Follow the path down, through the cave and outside again. Here's something you may want to keep in mind, there is a special random battle you can encounter in this area, actually two of them but the first really doesn't do anything. The first is just a ???? enemy attacking you and then running away. The second however is when you get into a battle with the Golem and a Skelesaur and an undead dragon. You must save the Golems life here which is so painfully easy. Think of a good way to hurt those two enemies without hurting the golem? The Requiem song will deal about 2000 damage to each of them while leaving the Golem untouched since it's not an undead creature. After the battle the Golem joins you as a new summon spell, simply use his item in the menu. Head down until you reach a cave room with a blocked door and a button you can't reach. There's a trap door in the floor on the right side here, drop down and open the chest to receive '7000 GP.' Go through the door on your left and press the button. Return to the previous room and exit through the door at the top. Now when you leave the cave there is a new path leading down. When you enter the next cave make a left and go down to reach two chests with 'Coronet' and 'Wind Sword' in them. Head to the other side and grab the chest at the bottom containing 'Phoenix Down.' Through the door at the bottom of the stairs is a save point, save your game and use a Tent or a Cottage. Leave the cave via the left exit and follow the path right until you eventually reach the Dragon Grass... actually... the EVIL Dragon Grass. O============================================o===============o===============O | Boss: Drgn Grass | HP: 12,000 | Level: 33 | O============================================o===============o===============O | | | You can defeat this boss without getting hit, quite easily I may add | | though it will require about seven or eight of the Skill items that can | | be thrown by a Ninja. What the boss does is summon its little helpers | | to attack you, but if you throw a LgtningSkill or something similar, | | perhaps a summon spell, they will all be killed and the boss will not | | attack you, instead it will just summon them again on its next turn. Have | | the rest of your party attacking the boss between sessions of killing the | | little Dragon Grasses to eventually take it down. Note that the grasses | | attack using dangerous status effects so if they manage to stay alive for | | even a single turn it might get VERY dangerous. To be on the safe side | | you might want to change your best attacker like your Knight to the Bare | | job class before the battle just so they can equip the Ribbon headgear. | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Following the battle your party receives the 'Dragon Grass' for their efforts. Rather than climbing all the way back down the mountain simply change someone into a Time Mage if you don't already have them in your party and cast the Telepo spell that you learned while in Val Castle to get back to the bottom. Return to Val Castle and jump into the moat. The switch at the upper left corner still works to get you back in the castle. Head up to the top and speak to Krile, then give the Dragon Grass to the dragon. Now you'll have control of the dragon, fly North and then East of the valley. When you head North over the edge of the continent you'll find Gill's cave on the island right above you. Enter it and watch the scene. Well now you have to go somewhere else, head West until you reach a castle and pull the door switch. __ |__ inal Fantasy V /---------------------------------------------------------o | -------o--------\ Surgate Castle | (0000Y) \--------------------------------------------------------o o------- Item Checklist -------o When you find yourself in the throne room | | take the lower left set of stairs up and | 5000 GP................_____ | examine the book to learn the "Song of | | Speed."
