Skip Gilgamesh battle ("Final Fantasy 5)
"At the end of World 2 when you are infiltrating X-Death's castle, immediately before you reach X-Death's room you will encounter a chest with nothing in it. When you leave this room, Gilgamesh will attack you. However, if you do not open the chest in this room, you will not have to fight Gilgamesh.
Defeating Gilgame ("Final Fantasy 5)
"First, make sure you have one chararcter that has learned White Magic Lv5, another that knows Black Magic Lv5, a third one with Time Magic/Jikuu Lv5, and the last one with Summon/Call Lv3. You will need to use Cure3 and Golem most of the time to protect yourselves. Start the battle with Haste2 and Float and hit Gilgame with Ice3. Make sure to have all of these spells up and running. Then, make everyone in your party change to Monk to get a good amount of HP, then put everyone in the back row. Gilgame is tough and evades easily; there is almost no need to hit him with a weapon. Before you get to his lair (behind a door in the cave linking the Big Bridge to the plains of Val), cast Float on everyone. Then, start picking up Gil until Gilgame gets you. Starty by casting Haste2 and Golem. Every time you hit Gilgame with Ice3, this big turtle will counter twice with his Carapace attack, causing Blind and Poison. However, Golem will take the damage for you. Normally, Golem will take five hits from Gilgame before you have to resummon him. Keep casting Ice3 and defending yourselves with Cure3 and Antidote. You may also cast Blink to avoid your opponent's attacks and make Golem last slightly longer. Once Gilgame dies, he will destroy you with a Quake, which will be fatal to all of you if you are not floating. Winning the battle will award you 3 ABP and 5000 Gil. If you continue picking up Gil in the cave after that, Gilgame might appear again.
Defeating Bahamut ("Final Fantasy 5)
"Either get four Wall Rings or have a Summoner that can cast Carbuncle. Make Black or Time Mages and one Summoner (if you do not have four Wall Rings equipped. Have the Mages cast their strongest spells (Flare for Black Mages and Meteo for Time Mages) while the fourth person heals the party. You can get the Wall Rings from enemies in the Phoenix Tower. Bahamut's spells will bounce back to him (putting the fight into you favor) when you have Wall on the party. The instant kill spell he does at the end will also be reflected back to Bahamut.
Defeating enemies ("Final Fantasy 5)
"The following is an easy way to defeat most enemies. If you have a Sorcerer and any of the level 5 Black Magic spells (Fire 3, Ice 3, etc.) you can instantly kill enemies that are weak against that element. This also works on some Bosses.
Have one character master the character that holds two weapons and the Hunter. Make him the bare class and give him two swords and the Sshot ability. Equip two weapons then use the Sshot ability in battle for an eight hit combination.
Extra ABP ("Final Fantasy 5)
"In Phoenix Tower, after every few stairs you will reach a room with two pots, one on each side of the room. One of the pots contain money, but the other contains a monster. The enemy is called "Magic Pot" and will not attack you. He will say "Gimme Elixer". Use an Elixer on him and he will reward with 100 ABP and an item. This is possibly the easiest way to master items like Mimes, Samurais, Chemists, and Ninjas.
In The Void (the last area of the game), all of the monsters give 20+ ABP after a battle. To easily win Behemoth battles, first cast Berserk on it. Next, cast Golem on your allies. You can now use physical or magic attacks to defeat them. If Golem wears out, simply recast it. Also in The Void is a monster called a "Mover". They are very rare, but if you are lucky enough to encounter them (they appear in sets of three), kill them all quickly with attacks such as Bahamut or Leviathan. If you let them live too long, they start to move around and eventually turn one of your party members into stone. When this happens, the battle automatically ends and you get nothing. The reward for defeating the Movers is 199 ABP and 100,000 gil.
Easy experience ("Final Fantasy 5)
"In the first world, once you get the airship go to the chain of islands at the bottom of the map. The ones above crescent island have an enemy called Black Flame which has the Blue spell Black Shock, and gives high experience, gold and ABP when defeated. Also, some of the islands have a monster called Prototype which you cannot hurt to defeat. Use the Control command and have it cast Exploder on itself You can also learn the Blue spells Missile and Burn Ray from it. It also gives 500 experience and 4 ABP when defeated.
The Quar Harpy gives 250 experience to everyone if four are alive, 333 experience if three are alive, 500 experience to two or 1000 experience to one person. This can help early on in the game, if you are strong enough.
In the second world, after X-Death turns on his barrier, you will get sent to another part of the world map. There are two places that actually show up on the map when you use it -- a town and a castle. Villagers in the town warn you about the castle, and they also mention that the legendary weapons are all sealed there. If you investigate, you will find absolutely nothing to do, and a very difficult (in fact, impossible at your level) monster called a ShieldDragon. The dragon is technically invincible to you. He has Reflect, and you do not. He can kill you in a few blows, and you (most likely) cannot seriously hurt him. However, if you have someone become a trainer long enough to learn Control, then you have a chance. Simply have everyone defend or heal while one of the party tries to Control until they are successful. Once you are controlling him, you can attack him with Blaze for 4999 damage. Being a magical attack in nature, Blaze will not break the Control. Repeat this until he is defeated. By defeating it, you will get 1000 gil, 2500 experience per character (10,000 experience total), and 5 ABP. To add insult to injury, you can steal a Mythril Shield from him every time (and occasionally a Gold Shield), and sometimes you will win a Gold Shield from the fight.
Easy gil ("Final Fantasy 5)
"Go to the Valley Of Dragons in Galuf's World (World 2). Go in a cave and find a Zombie Dragon. Kill it. This may be difficult, considering it has about 8,000 HP. After the battle, it should give you about 1000 to 1500 gil, 500 to 1000 experience, and 2 to 7 ABP. A subscreen will appear. Take the Dragon Fang or Dragon Tooth, and kill some more Zombie Dragons. Each Dragon Fang or Dragon Tooth is worth 2500 gil. Also in the Valley Of The Dragons is a Bone Mail that resembles a ribcage. It has good defense, and can be used by Samurai, Knights, Sorcerers, Lancers, and most other fighting classes.

Mirage Town ("Final Fantasy 5)
"Get the airship and fly to Cresent Island. Head to the middle of the joined continent, and land next to a forest there. Walk around in the forest until it seems you have gotten into a battle. The screen will be fuzzy instead of the normal swirl for starting a battle. This town has extremely good weapons, 6 level six magic spells, and great armor.

Wander around until you find a wizard who will tell to pick from two crates. Pick the right one for the Chicken Knife, or the left one for the Brave Sword. The Chicken Knife can be easily powered-up, up so it is even more powerful than the Excalibur. The Brave Sword powers up when you win battles, the Chicken Knife powers up when you run.
Double Lance ("Final Fantasy 5)
"Once you get to Val castle in the second world, you will notice there is a basement in one of the lower levels that has a locked door.

"Once you have the dragon, fly to Tycoon Castle and talk to the Chancellor. Then, go to the treasure room on the east side of the castle and talk to the Chancellor again to enter. Once there, you can find the very useful Healing Staff, which restores HP rather than taking it away. It is magic though -- do not use it on someone with Reflect.

Go to Tzen and look behind the trees in the top right-hand corner of the town. You can buy the Sraphim Esper for 3000 GP. Also at this time, if you go to Jidoor you can buy the Golem and ZoneSeek Espers for 20,000 GP at the auction house, but it may take a while because some other things are sold there as well, such as Cure Rings, Cherub Downs and talking Chocobos (which you cannot actually buy).
Easy Catrot battles ("Final Fantasy 6)
"You will find a creature called the Cactrot in the desert southwest of Maranda. It only has 3 HP, an extremely high Evade. Equip your characters with a Sniper Sight and a Genji Glove to take off 2 HP every time it is attacked. This can also be helpful when you face a Catrot in the coliseum.

"If you are fighting foes who primarily do not use magic, cast Vanish on all your party members. Afterwards, most battles can be fought without taking damage. Occasionally, you will have to recast Vanish when magic is actually used. This works very well if you battle Bosses, such as Umaro, who do not use magic, and you are tired of using the Vanish/Doom trick.
Good Coliseum techniques (Final Fantasy 6)
"The following is a good setup for either Terra or Celes in WOR, , but before gaining the Marvel Shoes. Equip the relic that allows you to hold two weapons. 2. Equip Drainer with the right hand, and Atma Weapon with the left. This allows you to gain HP first, which makes the Atma weapon more powerful immediately on the same attack. The Mystery Veil, Force Armor is good for armor, and Running Shoes and another relic is also good (Cure Ring is not necessary). After gaining the Marvel Shoes, equip the Soul Sabre, which you also win in the Coliseum instead. With the Marvel Shoes and good armor, you should be near the maximum HP most of the time, and will instead need to gain MP back.
Level up strategy ("Final Fantasy 6)
"When leveling, make sure you have the right Esper you want equipped to give you bonus leveling points. Once you gain Bahamut, make sure the person with the Atma Weapon is using it to gain HP +50%,. This will make the Atma Weapon even more powerful.

You will need to use Cure3 and Golem most of the time to protect yourselves. Start the battle with Haste2 and Float and hit Gilgame with Ice3. Make sure to have all of these spells up and running. Then, make everyone in your party change to Monk to get a good amount of HP, then put everyone in the back row. Gilgame is tough and evades easily; there is almost no need to hit him with a weapon. Before you get to his lair (behind a door in the cave linking the Big Bridge to the plains of Val), cast Float on everyone. Then, start picking up Gil until Gilgame gets you. Starty by casting Haste2 and Golem. Every time you hit Gilgame with Ice3, this big turtle will counter twice with his Carapace attack, causing Blind and Poison. However, Golem will take the damage for you. Normally, Golem will take five hits from Gilgame before you have to resummon him. Keep casting Ice3 and defending yourselves with Cure3 and Antidote. You may also cast Blink to avoid your opponent's attacks and make Golem last slightly longer. Once Gilgame dies, he will destroy you with a Quake, which will be fatal to all of you if you are not floating. Winning the battle will award you 3 ABP and 5000 Gil. If you continue picking up Gil in the cave after that, Gilgame might appear again.

Defeating enemies ("Final Fantasy 5)
"The following is an easy way to defeat most enemies. If you have a Sorcerer and any of the level 5 Black Magic spells (Fire 3, Ice 3, etc.) you can instantly kill enemies that are weak against that element. This also works on some Bosses.
Have one character master the character that holds two weapons and the Hunter. Make him the bare class and give him two swords and the Sshot ability. Equip two weapons then use the Sshot ability in battle for an eight hit combination.
Extra ABP ("Final Fantasy 5)
"In Phoenix Tower, after every few stairs you will reach a room with two pots, one on each side of the room. One of the pots contain money, but the other contains a monster. The enemy is called "Magic Pot" and will not attack you. He will say "Gimme Elixer". Use an Elixer on him and he will reward with 100 ABP and an item. This is possibly the easiest way to master items like Mimes, Samurais, Chemists, and Ninjas.
In The Void (the last area of the game), all of the monsters give 20+ ABP after a battle. To easily win Behemoth battles, first cast Berserk on it. Next, cast Golem on your allies. You can now use physical or magic attacks to defeat them. If Golem wears out, simply recast it. Also in The Void is a monster called a "Mover". They are very rare, but if you are lucky enough to encounter them (they appear in sets of three), kill them all quickly with attacks such as Bahamut or Leviathan. If you let them live too long, they start to move around and eventually turn one of your party members into stone. When this happens, the battle automatically ends and you get nothing. The reward for defeating the Movers is 199 ABP and 100,000 gil.
Easy experience ("Final Fantasy 5)
"In the first world, once you get the airship go to the chain of islands at the bottom of the map.

Also, some of the islands have a monster called Prototype which you cannot hurt to defeat. Use the Control command and have it cast Exploder on itself You can also learn the Blue spells Missile and Burn Ray from it. It also gives 500 experience and 4 ABP when defeated.
The Quar Harpy gives 250 experience to everyone if four are alive, 333 experience if three are alive, 500 experience to two or 1000 experience to one person. This can help early on in the game, if you are strong enough.
In the second world, after X-Death turns on his barrier, you will get sent to another part of the world map. There are two places that actually show up on the map when you use it -- a town and a castle. Villagers in the town warn you about the castle, and they also mention that the legendary weapons are all sealed there. If you investigate, you will find absolutely nothing to do, and a very difficult (in fact, impossible at your level) monster called a ShieldDragon. The dragon is technically invincible to you. He has Reflect, and you do not. He can kill you in a few blows, and you (most likely) cannot seriously hurt him. However, if you have someone become a trainer long enough to learn Control, then you have a chance. Simply have everyone defend or heal while one of the party tries to Control until they are successful. Once you are controlling him, you can attack him with Blaze for 4999 damage. Being a magical attack in nature, Blaze will not break the Control. Repeat this until he is defeated. By defeating it, you will get 1000 gil, 2500 experience per character (10,000 experience total), and 5 ABP. To add insult to injury, you can steal a Mythril Shield from him every time (and occasionally a Gold Shield), and sometimes you will win a Gold Shield from the fight.

Random hat replacement ("Final Fantasy 6)
"Un-equip the hat of the character you like the most. Sell all other hats you have. Then, go to the hatless character's equipment screen and select "Optimum". Sometimes a random item (usually a Genji Glove) will be equipped as a hat, and boosts defense up to 255.
Stealing a Gengi Glove ("Final Fantasy 6)

Merit Award "(Final Fantasy 6)

Economizer relic "(Final Fantasy 6)
"This relic turns all MP used on any magic move to only 1 MP. You can only get it the second world, after Kefka blows up the world, above the Veldt (the place where you teach Gau new moves). It is a small forest patch on the island just north of the Vedlt Island. You will be close when Tyranos start attacking. Keep fighting them and every once and a while a monster called a Bracosaur will attack. Have Locke steal from it. If that was unsuccessful, kill it and hope that it appears after the battle.
Make sure Lock is level 35 or higher. Equip him with an Off Ring, the Theif Knife, and your best armor. The Marvel Shoes also help. Save the game and bet the Strato at the Colosseum. You will fight an Aquila. Locke will attempt to steal about 50% of the time. When he is successful and if you are lucky, you will get an Economizer. If you get a Phoenix Down, use the in-game reset, reload, and try again. Once he is successful and you win the fight, you will get a Pearl Lance. Bet that in the Coliseum, and you will win another Strato. You can repeat this as many times as desired.
Elixir ("Final Fantasy 6)
"Go any town and check out the houses. Many houses have a grandfather clock. Walk up to the clock and press [X]. You will most likely receive an elixir. Note: This only works once per clock.

Getting Gogo ("Final Fantasy 6)

It uses Demi, but also uses an attack called "Engulf" that sucks a character into him. Allow him to use "Engulf" on all of your characters. The game will not end. Instead, you will end up in a cave.

Walk through the door and you will see a covered-up person. Talk to him and he will join your party.

Getting Odin Esper ("Final Fantasy 6)
"Use the following trick to get the Odin Esper quickly, without getting into battles. After receiving the Airship in the World Of Ruins, go to Narshe. Go to where the Moogle Village is located. Talk to Mog and he will join the party. In the location where you found Mog, search the wall to retrieve the Moogle Charm (when equipped on Mog, you will fight no random encounters). Go to Figaro Castle and talk to the engineer to head back to the desert. When the castle is moving, you will suddenly stop and the engineer will mention something. Go to the prison cell with the door and go through. Have Mog in the party with the relic Moogle Charm equipped. Follow the path until you reach the Ancient Castle. Go to the throne room and search the statue to retrieve the Odin Esper. You will never encounter an enemy unless you open two chests that contain monsters. If this happens, just cast Vanish then Doom to dispose of them. This is an easy way to get Odin and learn the rare spell Meteor.
Getting Ragnorak Esper ("Final Fantasy 6)

Also at this time, if you go to Jidoor you can buy the Golem and ZoneSeek Espers for 20,000 GP at the auction house, but it may take a while because some other things are sold there as well, such as Cure Rings, Cherub Downs and talking Chocobos (which you cannot actually buy).
Easy Catrot battles ("Final Fantasy 6)
"You will find a creature called the Cactrot in the desert southwest of Maranda. It only has 3 HP, an extremely high Evade. Equip your characters with a Sniper Sight and a Genji Glove to take off 2 HP every time it is attacked. This can also be helpful when you face a Catrot in the coliseum.
Equip the Sniper Sight and the Atma Weapon (which should be found before you even get to World of Ruin). This will kill Cactrot with one hit.
When trying to kill the Catrot, use Edgar's tool command, then use the Drill.
Cast Ultima five times for 1 MP ("Final Fantasy 6)
"Equip the Economizer and Gem Box relics to allow you attack two times for 2 MP. Make sure you know the magic Quicke, then enter a battle. Cast Quicke followed by Ultima, then just Ultima four more times.
Throw anything twice ("Final Fantasy 6)
"The following trick allows you to throw anything twice, even if you only have one of the item. Have Gogo mimic Shadow to throw the same item twice. Note. If you throw an item that you have more than one of, Gogo will use his own and you will lose two items instead of one.
Get through tough levels without avoiding battles ("Final Fantasy 6)
"If you are fighting foes who primarily do not use magic, cast Vanish on all your party members. Afterwards, most battles can be fought without taking damage. Occasionally, you will have to recast Vanish when magic is actually used. This works very well if you battle Bosses, such as Umaro, who do not use magic, and you are tired of using the Vanish/Doom trick.
Good Coliseum techniques (Final Fantasy 6)
Get the Marvel ShoesGood setup for either Terra or Celes in WOR ("Final Fantasy 6)
Bet the Flame Sabre to get something (face a "hard" Ninja). Bet that item to get the Rename Card (face Cactrot). Bet the Rename Card to get the Marvel Shoes (face DoomDragon)
Cactrot battle
It helps if your other relic are the Marvel Shoes. If you do not have them, get the Cure Ring, as he has a 1,000 point attack.
Most other battles after getting the Marvel Shoes
Equip the Marvel Shoes and Dragoon Boots. It also helps if you have made it to at least level 35, and have either the Genji or Aegis shield, plus the Force Armor. Do not use the Atma Weapon here. It also helps if you know some spells, such as Stop.
The Doom Dragon
Equip the same relics and armor as above, also equip the Flame shield. The dragon know S.Cross, a powerful "fire" spell -- this will absorb it. If you have good magic defense, his N.Cross "ice" spell will rarely, if ever hit. With the Dragon Boots you can be in the air and gain some life back with the Marvel Shoes. He does use Fallen One, which takes your HP down to 1, but rarely attacks so you can gain life back. It helps if you are at a higher level so you can evade his rare non-magic attacks.
Rename Card
Another way to get the rename card in the coliseum, which you need to get the marvel shoes, is to bet an Elixir. Then you can fight and should easily beat Cactrot.
"The following is a good setup for either Terra or Celes in WOR, , but before gaining the Marvel Shoes. Equip the relic that allows you to hold two weapons. 2. Equip Drainer with the right hand, and Atma Weapon with the left. This allows you to gain HP first, which makes the Atma weapon more powerful immediately on the same attack. The Mystery Veil, Force Armor is good for armor, and Running Shoes and another relic is also good (Cure Ring is not necessary). After gaining the Marvel Shoes, equip the Soul Sabre, which you also win in the Coliseum instead. With the Marvel Shoes and good armor, you should be near the maximum HP most of the time, and will instead need to gain MP back.
Level up strategy ("Final Fantasy 6)
"When leveling, make sure you have the right Esper you want equipped to give you bonus leveling points. Once you gain Bahamut, make sure the person with the Atma Weapon is using it to gain HP +50%,. This will make the Atma Weapon even more powerful.
Get Cyan in World Of Ruin ("Final Fantasy 6)
"Go to the town of Zozo. Talk to the only man that is walking around (not jumping from building to building or laying down). He will give you an item. Then, go to the top of the building with the door that is rusted shut and use the item that the man gave you. It will open the rusted door, which leads to Mt. Zozo. There, you will get in a lot of fights and eventually meet up with Cyan.

At the start of battle, have Cyan perform the "Retort" SwordTech (or SwdTech 2), then have another party member cast the "Imp" spell on him. Next, kill Cyan by attacking him with a physical attack in one blow or several magic attacks. This is to not trigger Retort and cancel the process. After he is wounded, revive him with a Life spell or Fenix Down. After any character/enemy attacks, Cyan should automatically and continuously attack all enemies uninterrupted until they are all dead. Use this process to instantly defeat Bosses and tough enemies, including Kefka.
Glitch: Misspelling ("Final Fantasy 6)
"Before battle, equip someone with the Esper Fenrir. Then while in battle, go to the person with Fenrir, select "Magic", and press [Up]. The game will have "Fenris" printed instead of "Fenrir".
