Learning spells
Once the airship is obtained from Setzer,in the World
Of Balance, go to a small triangular island and start a fight.
Eventually a invisible creature called Intangir will be encountered.
Cast Doom on the Intangir and he will use his final meateo attack
on a single character, taking about 900-1200 HP. After he is defeated,
10 esper points will be awarded. Which is a good way to learn
spells for your characters.
Healing with Doom
You must have the Relic Ring to do this trick. Have
one of your party members equip the Relic Ring. When you cast
the Doom on the person wearing the Relic Ring, it will heal your
entire party to full health. This trick is especially useful when
you are fighting a Boss and are running low on HP.
Getting another Genji Glove
You can get another Genji Glove during your stay at
Banon's Hideout. When Terra talks to Banon alone, he will ask
you to be their hope, light, etc. Answer "No". Return
outside and he will ask you again. Answer "No" again.
You will do this three times, and Terra will come inside and ask
how anybody could depend on her. Then a wounded soldier will come
in. When you leave, instead of getting the gauntlet, you will
receive the Genji Glove.
Unlimited Muscle Belts
Muscle Belts will double your maximum HP. Go to ZoZo
mountain and the giant green monster that is similar to the monster
was first fought when you arrived in ZoZo. It resembles an overgrown
humans. Have Locke in your party with the Thief Glove relic equipped
and can steal a Muscle Belt from it. Note: This takes some time,
as most of the time you will only steal potions.
Unlimited Magicite
Go to the Coliseum, then bet a Phoenix Down. You will
have to fight a Cactuar. Make sure you equip yourself with Atma
Weapon and you will defeat it easily. Everytime you win, you get
a Magicite. Repeat the process to get as many as needed.
Cheap Saraphim Magicite
If you do not buy Saraphim in Tzen before the world
changes, you can buy it afterwards from the same man for only
10 gil.
Increase speed with Odin Magicite
After acquiring the Odin Magicite, instead of immediately
transforming it into Raiden, keep it with you as is. Not only
will you be able to learn Quick without having to kill all the
dragons, but the character equipped with Odin will receive +1
Speed every time he or she levels up.
Finding the Magicite Palidor
In the World Of Ruin, get off the island you start
out on. Find Sabin, Edgar, and Setzer. Then, fly the airship to
the abandoned island you started out on. Go to the beach, and
you should find the Magicite Palidor washed up on shore.
Ultima Spell
Get the Cursed Shield and the Rangnarok Sword (not
the Esper). Break the spell on the Cursed Shield to learn the
Ultima spell faster than by the Esper. Then, go to the coliseum
and bet Ragnarok Sword. You will get a new sword. Try it out,
and if it is not stronger go back and bet it. Do this repeatedly
and you will eventually get a sword stronger than the Atma weapon.
Alternate Air Anchor
To get a second Air Anchor, you can initiate a system
of trades in the Dragon's Neck Coliseum as follows. Tabby Suit
for a Chocobo Suit. Chocobo Suit for a Moogle Suit. Moogle Suit
for a Nutkin Suit. Nutkin Suit for a Air Anchor.
Unlimited Tintinabars
You must be in the World Of Ruin have the Ragnarock
Esper. Go to ZoZo mountain and use Ragnarock Esper on a monster
called Spec-tor to get a Tintabar.
Get another Tintinabar
Another Tintinabar can be obtained in the world of
Balance. Once getting the Airship and at least 3000 GP to spare,
fly to Mobliz and read the letter from Lola to the soldier. Then,
send one for him to Maranda. Fly there and talk to Lola. Fly back
to Mobliz, stay at the inn, and another letter should arrive.
Continue to do this, eventually send a letter, a record, some
tonic, another letter, and a Book. After sending the book, sleep
in the inn one more time, then talk to the soldier. He will thank
you for sending all the items in his name and give your character
another Tintinabar.
Getting Ragnarok Sword and Esper
In order to get the Ragnarok Sword and the Esper, simply
choose the Esper when the man in Narshe in the World Of Ruin asks
you. Then, if you want to beat Kefka easily, have Locke in you
party when fight Kefka after going through his temple. When he
makes you fight the three sub-Bosses after you talk with him,
have Locke steal from the giant head on the third sub-Boss to
get the Ragnarok Sword. This is a good way to teach your characters
Ultima, and to easily beat Kefka -- have Shadow throw the Ragnarok
Sword at Kefka in the final battle.
Getting Edgar's Bio Blaster and Noise
Getting Edgar's Drill and Flash
When you get Edgar in the world of ruins, go to Figaro
Castle. Keep moving north until reaching the room with the Chancellor.
When first entering the room, go three steps north, then all the
way to the right. Go north again to arrive at a door. Enter and
talk to the man. After a a short conversation, Edgar's drill,
flash, and one other tool can be bought.
Getting Edgar's Air Anchor
Go to the Kefka Tower in the World Of Ruins. Climb
to the very top, defeat the Magimaster and get the gem box. Get
down (an easy way is to give MOG the Moogle Charm relic which
prevents random battles) and leave the tower. Save the game, then
re-enter the tower. Walk inside, then go up the stairs. Enter
the first door and move to the right of the chest. Press [A],
then leave and go down one flight of stairs to the door which
just was enabled beside the chest. Edgar's Air Anchor tool is
found at this location.
Getting Mog's Water Dance
The only chance to get Mog's Water Dance is to get
him before the world changes. Have him fight a battle in either
the river where you first fight Ultros or the under water trench
that Sabin, Cyan, and Gau take in Crescent Mountain (located to
the south of the Veldt). Crescent Mountain is faster, because
after arriving at the port town you can ride a Chocobo to the
waterfall (the landslide is now clear). Then, cross the Veldt
to the airship. The river requires you to go through Mt. Kolt.
Sabin's easy blitzes
Aurabolt: Press [Down]x2, [Forward].
Dance: Press [Forward]x2, [Down]x2, [Back].
Bum Rush: Press [Forward]x2, [Up]x2, [Back]x2,
[Down]x2, [Forward].
It is rather difficult to individually press the buttons for attacks
such as the Bum Rush. Instead of pressing them individually, press
[Down] at the starting point and just move your finger for
the move combo without lifting it. This allows you to get diagonal
directions for the moves without making a mistake.
