    The great tremors that swallowed the crystals,the light of our world, only to spawn monsters

    from the depths of the scarred land,are nothing but harbingersof what has yet to come.

    Something is coming...fathomless, ominous,

    and full of sorrow...But hope is not yet lost.Four souls will be blessed with light,

    and so it shall begin..."- Prologue, Instruction Booklet

    Refia:======Favorite color = BlueHere is the MAIN character of the game. Haha. Well, in my opinion, but Ijust like Refia a lot. Probably because she is cute. :) Anyway! She grew upin the town called Kazus, south of Ur village. She was raised by Takka theblacksmith and is quite rebellious. She always runs away from home becauseof the work her father always wants her to do. She won't hesitate to yell atyou if are mean to her and she hates all types of amphibians. Mostly toads!

    Luneth:=======Favorite color = PurpleLuneth is a very outgoing. He loves to explore and go on adventures, and allthe kids in town wish they were just like him. He grew up in Ur village,raised by Elder Topapa and his wife, Nina. His best friend is Arc and they doalmost everything together. I always assumed that Arc was with Luneth when hefell down the hole in Altar Cave, but ran back to town to get help. (theory)

    Arc:====Favorite color = Green

    Awkward and shy, Arc is the complete opposite of Luneth. He also grew up inthe village of Ur, and was also raised by Elder Topapa and Nina. That willexplain why he and Luneth are so close. They are practically brothers! Sincehe likes to keep to himself, he reads a lot of books and is very smart. Helooks up to Luneth and tries his best to be just as brave. But it's hard whenall the kids in town pick on him and are mean all of the time.

    Ingus:======Favorite color = RedA knight to the King of Sasune, Ingus is responsible and well-mannered. Out ofall the four main characters, he seems to be the oldest and most mature. Hecares a great deal about the Princess and does everything for her. Luckily he

    was out training when the Djinn cast his curse upon the land, allowing him toassist the party in finding the Princess. He never had any parents and wasraised as a soldier in the King's army since he was young.

    Escaping is pretty simple. Each attempt to escape accumulates, meaning yoursuccess rate increases everytime you fail. Also, keep in mind that everytimeyou try to escape from battle, your character's defense is decreased by 50%,but just for that round. So be extra careful when trying to flee from strongenemies! If you want more information on the Thief's Flee ability, check itsprofile in the "Job Guide" section below. Ctrl+F. {FL}

    Run Away Success = Attempt# > 1Run Away Failure = Attempt# < 1

    Chance = Lowest Character Level - Highest Enemy LevelBonus = Agility x (Random # between 0 and 0.4)

    Attempt#1 = ChanceAttempt#2 = Attempt#1 + BonusAttempt#3 = Attempt#2 + BonusAttempt#4 = Attempt#3 + Bonusetc...

    03. Back Attacks & Pre-emptive Strikes:=========================================Occasionaly you will surprise the enemy with a pre-emptive strike. This willallow you to have an extra turn before the battle even starts. There are no

    downsides to this and will help you win the fight much faster than usual.

    Likewise, the enemy party may surprise you with a Back Attack and get to havean extra turn before the battle starts.

    In my experience, it is usually best to escape battles when the enemy gets aback attack. If you have mages in your party, who are in the back row, theywill be moved to the front row and DIE very fast. Some enemies can wipe outyour entire party because of ill luck of a back attack.

    NOTE: You could also try to move everyone back to their normal positions, butdepending on the enemy that back-attacked you, you may not survive.

    If you are trying for a perfect game and consider 0 escapes from battle a keypart of this, then you'll have to be extra careful. Keep in mind that havingzero escapes doesn't get you anything and is for bragging rights, only. :P

    04. Enemies:==============Throughout the game you'll encounter a number of different enemies. They'llattack you in a variety of groups and numbers. Most of the time you'll seegroups of 1 and 2 enemies, but sometimes you'll see a group 3 enemies. Thatis a little bit more uncommon, but it's possible, especially during all thelate-game dungeons. There is ONE battle that has 4 enemies, but that isa special story-related battle. You'll never see a group of 4 enemies during

    random battles. 3 is the max.

    Also, most beginning random encounters will get 1 attack per round. Thereare a few, though, that get 2 attacks per round. Those types of enemies areusually found during the later parts of the game. The very first randomencounter enemy that gets 2 attacks per round is #070 Dullahan, who can befound in Castle Hein.

    All boss enemies get multiple attacks per round, except Land Turtle. Startingwith the Djinn boss, they all get 2 attacks per round. Most boss enemies at

  • 8/22/2019 GameFAQs Final Fantasy III (and) FAQ_Walkthrough

    11/439

    the end of the game have up to 4 attacks per round!

    05. Critical Hits:====================Physical attacks have a small chance to deal critical hits. When an attackis critical, it will deal 50% more damage. The only weapon in the game thatcannot land critical hits is the Harp weapon.

    The % chance of it happening depend on your character's Agility, minus theAgility of your target. The max rate is 10%.

    06. # of Hits:================When using physical attacks, your characters may hit multiple times duringthe attack, thus dealing a lot more damage. The number hits depends on thecurrent Job level and Agility of your character. So naturally, the numberof hits increases as you level up the Job, or increase Agility.

    The max number of hits you will see on-screen is 16 for one hand, or 32 if youare using both hands. (dual-wielding weapons) Even though that is the limitdisplayed on-screen, the max number of hits goes beyond that.

    Here is a chart with each Job's max # of hits, while at character Lv. 99, Joblevel 99, and melee proficiency at level 99. (a fully leveled character)

    o-------------.----.----.----.----o|Max # of Hits| 1h | 2h |Bows|Harp||-------------|----|----|----|----||Freelancer | 34 | 68 | 62 | -- ||Warrior | 34 | 68 | 62 | -- ||Monk | 31 | 62 | -- | -- ||White Mage | 31 | 62 | -- | -- ||Black Mage | 31 | 62 | 58 | -- ||Red Mage | 34 | 68 | 62 | -- ||Thief | 36 | 72 | -- | -- |

Bows and Harps|Devout | 31 | 62 | -- | -- | show a max of 32 hits on-screen.|Summoner | 28 | 56 | -- | -- |

    |Sage | 29 | 58 | -- | -- | NOTE: Using Bare-handed attacks is just|Ninja | 36 | 72 | -- | -- | like dual-wielding weapons since you are|Onion Knight | 36 | 72 | 66 | 72 | using both of your hands.o-------------'----'----'----'----o

    07. Melee Proficiency:========================According to Penguin Knight's guide, and the Japanese Complete Guide, thereis a hidden statistic for each arm. It is Melee Proficiency. Both arms for

  • 8/22/2019 GameFAQs Final Fantasy III (and) FAQ_Walkthrough

    12/439

    all characters, start at level 1, and the max level is 99.

    The only things Melee Proficiency influences is the amount of damage you dowith physical attacks, and the # of hits. Because it's a stat that can't beseen, it's not something you should be worried about. It will naturally goup as you play the game and defeat lots of enemies.

    For every 33 attacks your melee proficiency will increase by +1. (each armlevels up separately) For bows and harps, they level up at the same time.

    08. What is the Damage Cap?=============================The most damage you will ever see in battle is 9999, but actually, there isno damage cap in this game. The most damage I have ever done with a singleattack is about 30,000+ damage or so.

    Even though you can only ever see 9999 during battle, there is a way to knowthe actual amount of damage dealt. In Gysahl Village Inn, talk to the NPChidden in the wall and he will tell you various game records of your currentplaythrough. He keeps track of the strongest attack you've used and howmuch damage it dealt. I've heard stories of people dealing 80,000+ damage!

    And yes, that means you can kill bosses with 10,000+ HP in only one hit.

    09. Battle Menu:==================Here are the different commands available to you in the Battle menu. To seeall options you'll have to scroll down through the list during battle.

    Attack.......Damage one enemy/ally with equipped weapon(s) or fists. This canbe used to remove Confusion and Sleep from allies.

    Special......The special skill of your current Job will appear right here. Tosee each Job's abilities, please see the Job Guide section.

    Guard........Reduce damage received from physical attacks by 50% for a singleround. (except Knight, Thief, Scholar) Knights will have theDefend ability, Thieves will have the Flee ability, and Scholarswill have the Study ability.

    Item.........Use consumable items, attack items, or cast magic with certainweapons. There are 2 ways to cast the magic with weapons. First,select the weapon from the Item list and choose the intendedtarget. Or second, press UP at the top of the Item list and thenselect the weapon. A job must be able to equip the weapon to beable to cast its magic.

    Equipment....Equip weapons/shields during battle. This can be done anytime

    and doesn't use up your turn for the round.

    Front/Rear...Put your characters in the Front or Back row. In the Front, yourattack power increases, but defense decreases. In the Back, yourattack power decreases, but defense increases. This uses a turnfor the round.

    Run Away.....Attempt to escape from battle. If three party members fail toescape, but at least 1 is successful, everyone will get to escapefrom battle. Does not work during Boss fights.

    Quicksaving.....This is useful if you have to leave the game for a long periodof time and are stuck in the middle of a dungeon. Be carefulthough! This quicksave is temporary and will disappear afterthe next time you load your game.

    Reviving........If you have any KO'd party members, don't waste your PhoenixDowns. Every major town has at least one REVIVE wellspring, souse these as much as you possibly can.

    Phoenix Downs...You can't buy Phoenix Downs anywhere! :( So save them for themoments when you are in *desperate* need of them. Like thosedangerous Boss fights!

    Shopping........When purchasing items at stores, you'll receive a 5% discountfor buying a quantity of 4 of the same item. The discountwill increase the more you buy. At 99 items you'll receive a20% discount max, on the total price.

    Wellsprings.....There are wellsprings almost everywhere, but are most commonlyfound in towns. There are 3 types:

    1. HP/MP = Completely restores HP and MP.2. Revive = Revives all KO'd party members.

    3. Status = Cures all status ailments.

    Shiny Spots.....Use the L Button to Zoom-In the camera. By doing this you canfind "Shiny Spots". A Shiny Spot will often times be avaluable treasure and other times a hidden switch. There aretons of them, so look carefully!

    Mini............Some areas of the game will require your entire party to beMini. To cast Mini you must have a Job that can use it, and asufficient amount of MP. To get out of Mini just recast it onyour party members or use a "Mallet" item.

    Toad............Same deal as Mini. Some areas will require your entire party

    to be Toads. To cast Toad you must have a Job that can useit, and a sufficient amount of MP. To get out of Toad justrecast it on your party members or use a "Maiden's Kiss" item.

    MP..............When you switch your Job from a physical-based Job(Monk), to amagic-based Job(White Mage), your current MP will remain atZERO. Find the nearest HP/MP wellspring or Inn to restore anylost MP. You can also use an Elixir.

    Learn Magic.....When you buy magic from shops, or find them in chests, theyare added to your inventory as items. They aren't consumableand can be used over and over, even after you have removed itfrom a party member. If you want to teach multiple party

    members the same spell however, you'll need multiple copies ofthat spell.

    Weapon Magic....Some weapons can cast magic for zero MP cost. To cast thesefree spells your character must first be ABLE to equip theweapon. (it doesn't have to be equipped, though) For example,Warriors can't use the Fire Staff to cast Fire, but they canuse the Salamand Sword to cast Fire since they can equip it.

    General Tips:

  • 8/22/2019 GameFAQs Final Fantasy III (and) FAQ_Walkthrough

    17/439

    =============- Always keep a stock of beneficial items. (Potions, Antidotes, Phoenix Downs,

    Elixirs, Eye Drops, etc...)

    - Explore and talk to everyone, you may get some interesting info or sometimeseven treasure!

    - Don't sell anything! ONLY follow this advice if you are a perfectionist. ;)

    Battle Tips:============- Focus on a single enemy until it dies. This will make battles easier since

    there will be less opponents attacking you or trying to inflict bad statusailments on you.

    - Any character with a long-range weapon should be in the back row. This waythey can still do full damage while taking LESS damage!

    - You can equip and unequip weapons in the Equipment menu. This can be veryhelpful if you forgot to do so before battle! It also helps a few jobs bymaking them more versatile! Such as the Bard job, who needs to change hisweapons during battle to use different Songs.

    - Reserve your MP for boss fights. Some weapons can cast magic, with a costof zero MP, allowing mages to last longer without having to rest.

    - Casting magic on multiple targets. If you are casting magic on the enemy,press LEFT to cast it on all enemies. And if you are casting magic on yourparty members, press RIGHT to cast it on everyone! Similarly you can canit on a group of the same type of enemy by pressing "UP" instead.

    - Stealing can save you A LOT of money, as well as make you rich! It alsocompliments the Scholar job very nicely.

    - Dual-Wield. When you equip two weapons, you will witness some incredibledestructive power. (depending on your weapons) A sword and shield combo is

    still acceptable, but generally it's better to dual-wield.

    - If you have a good Defensive Job, like Knight and Viking, try using twoshields at the same time. With their ability to defend other party membersa Knight and Viking will absorb a lot less damage with two shields. Thiscan be a great tactic for boss fights!

    out the following checklists:

    -Bestiary Logs: Enemy encounters and Bosses.-Treasure: What you will find in treasure chests, containers, secrets, etc.-Enemy encounters: Enemy encounters in specific areas, and rarity.-Recommended Level: The range of levels you should be.

    3. Enemy % Chance. This is the rarity of the enemy in each given area. It'llgive you an idea of how often you will encounter them. Not all enemies canbe found in just a single area of a dungeon, you must explore all rooms.

    4. Treasure. Throughout the walkthrough, I will type items and treasure in aspecial way, like this: Open the chest to find a [PHOENIX DOWN]. Thisis so you can skim-read paragraphs if you are trying to find them quickly.

    5. Bosses. I've created Information Boxes for every single Boss. They willinclude stats, item steals, item drops, level recommendations, and the bestof all, detailed strategies for victory. Yahooo!

    and ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When you see these notes, you don't need to do them to finish the game. Theyare written for the players-who-want-EVERYTHING, by letting them know what to

    do, to get that perfect 100% save file.

    If getting everything doesn't interest you, then it's ok to ignore them. Youwill still be able to complete the story easily. Following them, though, ishighly recommended because they usually reward you with powerful equipment orsave you from missing something permanently. :)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Cave, level 4:40% - Carbuncle30% - Eye Fang30% - Blue Wisp-----------------------Wellspring:HP/MP

    Recommended Level:1-2

    Once you start a new game, you'll watch a scene where a boy (really?) falls

    down a hole. This is Luneth. As it turns out, this cave is filled to thebrim with monsters! You'll immediately be attacked by Goblins. They aren'ttoo hard, just poke 'em and they'll die. :)

    NOTE: You begin the game on level 3 of Altar Cave. Level 1 and 2 aren'taccessible right now.

    Cave, level 3:==============After the fight, head north through the cave. Along the way you will find twotreasure chests. The left one holds a [LEATHER SHIELD], and the right oneholds a [POTION].

    Further up, you'll come across a rock which you must activate. This willcause a path to open up to the right. On this small path, there will be atreasure chest with a [LONGSWORD] inside, and some stairs.

    Cave, level 4:==============In the next area, level 4, head left to a get an [ANTARCTIC WIND]. Then goall the way to the right to get a [POTION]. After this, head back up and youwill find another [POTION]. To the right is a chest with another helpful[ANTARCTIC WIND] and, even more to the right, a wellspring that will restoreyour HP/MP completely. Yay! It's so pretty. ^_^

    NOTE: If you want to, you can stay around this area and level up, then use

    the wellspring to heal yourself.

    When ready, head left. You will find some stairs. Go up and you will find ashrine or some kind of ruin.

    Cave, level 5:==============You won't get very far because you'll be attacked by an evil creature! Makesure you have at least one Potion, and that you also equipped the Longswordyou found earlier; you just might need it.

    Cave, level 2:30% - Carbuncle30% - Eye Fang30% - Blue Wisp10% - Goblin-----------------------Wellspring:n/a

    Recommended Level:1-2

    This can be done at any time, but why not now? You will get some fantasticitems! Before heading south to Ur go back into Altar Cave. You will enter adifferent part of the cave! This is level 1, which you didn't have accessto at the start of the game.

    Cave, level 1:==============Take the first right and you'll come to a "dead end". There are many placeslike this throughout the game, so keep an eye out for them! ...or I'll justtell you. ;) Wait, it's not a dead end! You can walk through the wall to finda secret area. Open the two treasure chests to receive a [LEATHER CAP] and

    some [BRONZE BRACERS]. Now go back, then head down.

    Cave, level 2:==============In the next level head left and you'll come across a room with lots of juicytreasure and a hole in the middle. I bet you can't guess who fell down thatvery *OBVIOUS* hole. Geez! Open the chests to obtain some [BRONZE BRACERS],[BRONZE KNUCKLES], two [LONGSWORD], and a [SLEEP] spell.

    You can fall down the hole if you want, but it won't benefit you in any way,except maybe gaining a level or two, and you will have to travel back to theCrystal's Shrine again to teleport out.

    NOTE: You just obtained your first spell item in Altar Cave. Sleep. Let meexplain how these work. If you teach a spell to someone, and decide you wantto give it to a different person later, you can remove it and re-learn it. Oryou can just swap them directly between characters. :)

    When ready, head south to Ur village.

    White Magic:Cure-----------------------Grasslands & Forest near Ur:100% - Goblin

    Ur Village, path leading to Storehouse:100% - Goblin-----------------------Wellspring:HP/MP, Revive

    Recommended Level:2-3

    When you get to Ur, go into the house on the left. (with the blue roof) Inhere you will find two wellsprings. One restores HP and MP, and the otherrevives any KO'd party members. Remember this, it will be very helpful lateron. In the second room of this house, you will find Elder Topapa. Talk tohim and watch the scene.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is just a reminder. Luneth comes equipped with a Knife and Vest. Therest of the main characters, when you get them, also come equipped with aKnife. You must *NOT* sell these items! You can't get them anywhere else.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Now exit the house. Talk to the old man right outside, and he will ask youto use a Potion on him. If you do, he will give you a [PHOENIX DOWN]. Whata nice guy! Phoenix Downs are hard to come by in this game since you can'tbuy them anywhere. Sniff.

    Speaking of buying stuff, let's talk about the various shops and what to get.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==Item Shop=========Gil==Potion...............50Eye Drops............40Antidote.............80

    Potions are definitely the most important thing to get here. Buy a decentsupply of potions and maybe a couple of eye drops and antidotes to be safe.

    ==Magic Shop========Gil==Poisona.............100

    This is the only place to get Poisona. It is really helpful and there arequite a few enemies that can inflict poison on you. Having this is muchcheaper than keeping a hefty supply of Antidotes, though it doesn't hurt tohave a few of those, as well, just in case.

    ==Weapon Shop=======Gil==Atk==Hit%==Effect==Dagger...............60 9 85 -Longsword...........100 10 80 -Staff................40 3 50 -

    23/439

    Bow.................100 10 70 Effective against flying enemiesWooden Arrow..........4 6 80 -

    Don't buy anything in the weapon shop. Everything here can be found for FREEvery soon. You even find 60 wooden arrows for free! :) I know that makesall you archers out there happy, hehe.

    ==Armor Shop========Gil==PDef=MDef==Effect==Leather Armor........90 3 1 -Leather Shield.......40 2 1 Immune to PoisonLeather Cap..........15 1 1 -Bronze Bracers.......80 1 1 -

    The only things you need here are two Bronze Bracers and 1 Leather Armor. Theleather armor is for Luneth since he needs the upgrade. All party memberscome equipped with it, as well as a Leather Cap. You have two Bronze Bracersalready so you'll need two more for the rest of the party. Shields are usuallynot worth it since you can dual-wield weapons for more attack power.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Go east past the Inn. If you talk to the lady by the well, she will tellyou to take the [POTION] inside the well. There are three of them. You don't

    have to talk to the lady, it's just being polite. :)

    Inside the Inn. Here you can buy items, watch a pretty girl dance, andeven play the piano! There are two songs you can play on the piano each withdifferent results from the audience.

    NOTE: I hate to say this, but the dancing girls and playing the piano yieldno rewards in the end. They are for pure enjoyment, only! I see it as amissed opportunity for two really fun sidequests, but oh well. :(

    Now head northeast of the Inn. Up here, you will watch a scene with some kidsbullying another kid. The one being bullied is Arc.

    After the scenes, go to the top of the flower patch, near the water. There isa hidden [POTION] lying on the ground, just waiting to be picked!

    ===============Ur Storehouse===============

    The guy north of the weapon shop tells you to take the items in the store-house, but to be cautious of monsters along the way. Don't worry, they areonly Goblins! When you get to the storehouse, don't enter. There is ahidden [POTION] near the water. Ok, now go in. :)

    In here you will find many useful things. The old man gives you a veryhelpful tip. So go ahead and talk to him if you want to. In the pots to theleft you will find two [ANTIDOTE]. Now talk to candle that the old man toldyou about. :PIn the secret area you will find a [DAGGER], [LONGSWORD], [EYE DROPS],[PHOENIX DOWN], and a [CURE] spell. Once you get the rest of your partytogether, teach cure to whomever you plan on making a healer. It willreally help against the next couple bosses.

    too hard to find.

    NOTE: If you need to, use the Zoom-In feature to see the shiny spots! (Zoom-Inwith the L Button) Shiny spots usually mean you can find somethingimportant... like treasure!

    After talking to Arc, go inside the Inn. One of the ghosts in here is Cid.He will ask for your help, and lend you his airship. Awesome!! Since thereisn't much else to do, for now, let's go find his ship.

    Leave town and walk to the small desert located to the west. You really can'tmiss it, haha. :P On the airship, you will meet Refia. Yay! ^_^ Watch thescene and fly away.

    Head northwest to the castle.

    tower over here called "Sasune: East Tower". On the 3rd floor you will findtwo chests with [x20 HOLY ARROW] and [x20 WOODEN ARROW] inside.

    NOTE: Whenever you find arrows, they will always be in bundles of 20. So youshould have 20 Holy arrows and 20 Wooden arrows right now. Not bad!

    On the top floor, it appears to be someone's bedroom. How nice! Open the fewtreasure chests for a [POTION], [BOW], and [x20 WOODEN ARROW]. You can eventake a nap on the bed. Soft~!

    Next, go back to the main gate. Then go up and into the main part of thecastle. In the first room there are some ghosts and a couple beds. If youare still tired, you can take another nap. ;) Go up to the next room. Inhere, go left through the cracked wall.

    There is a chest with a [PHOENIX DOWN].Then head to the opposite side of the room. Go through the cracked wall overhere and then go up the stairs. Follow the hallway to find a [LEATHER SHIELD]and a [BLIZZARD] spell. There is a cracked wall here as well, so go in andyou'll find a secret room with some [BRONZE KNUCKLES].

    NOTE: Freelancers can use Lv1. White and Black Magic, so teach Blizzard toyour weakest physical attacker. Now they will be useful during the

    coming boss fights! Heee. You can always remove it and teach it tosomeone else later, if you need/want to.

    Now go all the way back down stairs. Here, take the other stairs down. Bothchests contain [1000 Gil]. That's a lot of money! You can go down onemore flight of stairs, but there isn't anything special down there. Just aswimming pool. Aw, I wanna swim. :(

    Now go back up, then up again! Go up until you find the King's Room. Watchthe scene here and you'll be given a job to do. To the cave!

    Recommended Level:4-6

    Before we rush out to save a cute princess, let's pay a visit to the monster-infested "Sasune: West Tower". Oooo.

    Head back to the courtyard of the castle and head left. Over here you'll seeanother tower like before but this one has monsters roaming on all floors. Itmight be a good idea to save your game, first.

    On the 3rd floor you will find [x20 HOLY ARROW] and [x20 WOODEN ARROW] insidethe two chests. On the top floor is a single chest with a [WIGHTSLAYER].

    But it's a trap! You'll have to fight a feathery beast.

    o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

    Griffon has a 3.1% chance to drop a Silence Seal. This item is 1 of 3 super-rare items that can be found ONLY from monster drops. There is no other wayto get them. Quite a few monsters drop Silence Seals, so if didn't get onehere, don't worry, you'll have plenty more chances later.

    The 40 Holy Arrows you found are your first elemental weapon. They will deal

    light-elemental damage and work well against the many undead enemies that willtry to eat you in the next dungeon.

    Speaking of which, we are done here so let's go find that Sealed Cave. :)

  • 8/22/2019 GameFAQs Final Fantasy III (and) FAQ_Walkthrough

    29/439

    without ever leveling, and if that happens, you won't stand a chance. Whenyou are prepared, go into the Sealed Cave.

    NOTE: Don't forget to equip the Holy Arrows. They deal Light-elementaldamage, remember? Having a bow user in this dungeon is great!

    Cave, level 1:==============Take the path all the way down, ignoring the path to the right, until youfind a chest holding a [POTION]. Then go back up and take that right path,and follow it all the way up. You will find a treasure chest with a [CURE]spell. Then go down and follow the long path. At the end are some stairsleading to the next level.

    NOTE: The Cure spell deals damage to undead enemies. ;)

    Cave, level 2:==============In the next area, open the chest with [500 Gil]. Then talk to the skullnear the upper right part of the room. A path will open and you'll encounterthe Princess! Watch the scene and she will temporarily join your party. Shecan be helpful in battle by casting Aero and Cure. Nice Princess! Go downthe stairs after saying hello.

    NOTE: You can talk to Guest characters by pressing Y. This usually onlyprovides minor character developments. Which is nice, I think.

    Cave, level 3:==============Follow the path to a fork in the road. First, take the path leading down tofind an [ANTARCTIC WIND]. Continue back to the path leading up and you'lleventually find another treasure chest with [EYE DROPS]. Then take the pathto the left and follow it until you meet Djinn, and his oddly placed... rug?

It will deal ||way less damage than if he had only targeted one person. || ||If he KO'd someone in the first round, use a Phoenix Down then defeat him by ||using another Antarctic Wind or Blizzard.

    Once you beat him, you will be teleported back to the Crystal. Here you willwatch a scene, and then some credits? Weird. After this a moogle will appearand tell you about Jobs. Yes, you gain the ability to change Jobs. Wahoo!

    For more information on Jobs, go to the "Job Guide" section. Ctrl+F. {WIND}Or jump to a specific Job using these codes and copy/paste the brackets {}.

    {WARRIOR-02} {MONK-03} {WHITE M-04}

    {BLACK M-05} {RED M-06} {THIEF-07}

    Choose any team that you think would be fun. Just don't choose four Black

    Mages or four White Mages, hehe. That would be really hard! Any good teamwill have an even balance between melee and magic.

    Here are some brief descriptions for you:

    Warrior:========The Warrior is the most basic fighting class. It can't cast any magic, butits Advance skill does a lot more damage than a normal attack. At the sametime, however, it also decreases your defense so you take more damage - onlyfor the round it was used. At Job Lv. 1 it has a nice 50% boost in damage,but your defense is reduced by 50% as well. It does have a nice selectionof armor to wear so that's a bonus. Also, they cannot equip the Wightslayer

    which is odd.

    Monk:=====Monks are very powerful. During the beginning of the game, though, they arejust a normal Job, nothing special about them, and they have to equip Clawsto deal any damage. For most of the game Monk's will require that you equipClaws, but when you gain enough character levels, and Job levels, their barehanded attack power will far surpass any claws you dual-wield. Monks gain+2 bare-handed attack power for almost every level/job level up.

  • 8/22/2019 GameFAQs Final Fantasy III (and) FAQ_Walkthrough

    White Mage:===========Starting out they are pretty weak and have very limited equipment pool andoffensive spells. They are great for keeping everyone healthy, but thatisn't really an issue early on. For random battles they aren't very helpfulsince they will probably just sit there most of the time. Pretty soon theywill get their first offensive spell "Aero" which you might consider. Onceyou have access to more spells they will prove to be more useful, especiallyduring later parts of the game.

    Black Mage:===========Like the White Mage, Black Mages have a very limited equipment pool. However,they can equip a few bows so if you run out of MP you still have a decentmeans of dealing damage. Their spells are very powerful and if you take fulladvantage of enemy weaknesses you'll deal massive damage. This will be thestrongest job during most of the early section of the game and is recommendedthat you have one is your party lineup.

    Red Mage:=========Red Mages are basically a super Freelancer. They are also better healers thanWhite Mages in the beginning. (white mage have more MP, though) The main

    reason is because they have a better equipment selection than White Mages andcan even deal decent damage with physical attacks. This is a great additionto any beginning team. The only downside is they have a lot less MP than theBlack Mage and White Mage. Also, they can equip the Wightslayer which is yourbest sword currently! :)

    Thief:======Thieves are my favorite Job. I can only say good things about them since theyhave quite a few perks that help everyone. First, obviously, is the abilityto steal. It may not seem that great, but there are plenty of useful itemsout there just waiting for us to take. If placed at the top of your party, inthe roster, they can pick locked doors later in the game and if you need to

    escape from battle, there is no better option than using Flee. Not only that,but their high agility helps them deal decent damage!

    Here is the party I decided to go with:

    Refia (Thief)Luneth (Black Mage)Arc (Monk)Ingus (Red Mage)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you want to, you can start the Onion Knight sidequest. This can be done atany time during the rest of the game, so don't feel pressured to get itfinished. Besides, having the Onion Knight this early in the game won't helpyou at all. It is very, VERY weak when your characters are low levels. Go tothe "Onion Knight Crystal Shard" section if you want it now. Ctrl+F. {OK}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Don't worry about getting 9999 HP this early in the game. Using jobs with lowvitality (white mage) won't prevent you from getting max HP, even if you useit for most of your playthrough.

    When you get to about level 60-70, which is pretty much the end of the game,you can start working on HP. By then you'll have the Black Belt job, as well,so it will be much easier to get all 9's. :) For more detailed informationand charts, please check the "Getting 9999 HP" section below.

    After you have decided on your team, and are ready to continue, head back toCastle Sasune. After the scenes, the curse will be lifted and you'll receiveyour first key item, the [FOLDING CANOE]. Double prizes!

    Now go retrieve your airship and fly back to Kazus village.

    If you have a Thief, the Mythril Knife is a nice upgrade. Buy 2 of those forsome amazing attack power. The Mythril Rod can be used by Black Mages, butthey can equip bows which are better at this point. Since we don't have anymagic-casting weapons, it's best to use a Bow for your Black Mage, so his MPdoesn't run out quickly and he become unable to deal damage. Don't buy anyMythril Swords. You will find 2 of them for FREE, inside the Mythril Mine.

    Recommended Level:7-8

    With the new Mythril Ram attached to your airship, you can break through therocks in Nelv Valley. It's too bad your ship doesn't survive the collision.

    Now that the rocks are destroyed, you can access a new part of the World Map!

    Head south to find Canaan. When you enter Canaan, watch the scene and Cid willleave your party. It's unfortunate, he was very helpful in battle. In thehouse connected to the Inn, you can find a [MALLET] and [GOLD NEEDLE].

    In the northeast part of town you will find some stairs. Up here you'll gain

    access to the canal that runs through town. Follow the canal and at the endthere is a chest with an [ELIXIR]. But don't be hasty! This elixir is NOTfor you. Haha.

    ======================Visiting Cid's House======================

    Head to the northwest part of town and you will find Cid's house. Go in andtalk to him. Mrs. Cid is sick so you'll want to give her the elixir. Talk toher and give it to her. Don't worry, it's worth it!

    After the scene, talk to the lamp and a secret passageway will open! Don't youjust love them? In here you will find 12 treasure chests. 12! At first younotice only 8 chests. The other four are hidden in the wall. Open the eightto receive a [BLIND] spell, [PHOENIX DOWN], [GOLD NEEDLE], [x20 IRON ARROW],[GREAT BOW], [POTION] and 2 [GNOMISH BREAD]. Eww, bread? It's probably moldy.

    After you open those, locate the hidden passage in the wall to find the lastfour chests. They hold [4000 Gil], and two [PHOENIX DOWN]. :D Told you itwas worth it!

    Now that we got that finished, let's do some shopping! Hmm...

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==Item Shop=========Gil==Potion ..............50Eye Drops ...........40Antidote ............80Echo Herbs .........100Gold Needle ........100

    then Echo Herbs will cure silence if they ever get inflicted with it. Thatwon't happen at all during these parts, but later we'll need some.

    ==Magic Shop========Gil==Cure ...............100Thunder ............700Poison .............700Blind ..............700

    We just got a free Blind spell so you can skip it. Definitely get Thunder andmaybe Poison. Thunder is an excellent damage spell. Poison deals about thesame amount of damage as Thunder, but it can miss, though. Accuracy for yourstatus inflicting spells depends mostly on your Intellect and Job level.

    You don't need anything here. Well, I guess you might want some more IronArrows if you use a bow at all, otherwise, move on. Make arrows the lastthing you purchase so you don't overspend gil on excess arrows.

    Next, go talk to Salina, who is found in the house connected to the Inn. Shewill tell you about her boyfriend, Desch. He ran off to a mountain. A scarymountain with a Dragon! Oh no! Let's go after him and help him.

    Before leaving town, I thought I'd mention that there is a new dancing girlnear the magic shop. Beware, though, she is pretty cute. =_=

    Anyway! Leave town and head toward Dragon's Peak.

    Recommended Level:8-9

    Enemies here can cause petrification, so stock up on some Gold Needles. Youcan buy them at Canaan Item Shop.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you encounter the rare Rust Bird enemy, you can steal a Phoenix Down fromit! This is the most reliable source of Phoenix Downs in the whole game.Having said that, you don't need to sit around here and stock up. You'll findplenty of Phoenix Downs throughout the game in treasure chests and stuff.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Follow the path up the mountain side. At the first fork, go down to grab a

    [PHOENIX DOWN]. See! :p Then continue back up. Take your first right andgrab the chest containing an [AERO] spell. Continue along the path again tofind another treasure chest, but with a [GOLD NEEDLE] inside.

    NOTE: Using a White Mage, now that you have the Aero spell, isn't such a badthing. All flying enemies are weak to wind-elemental attacks. If youdo have a White Mage, though, it's most likely for its healing spellsso you won't probably use Aero that much, anyway. At least Aero is aLv. 2 spell and won't consume MP for Cure or Cura, when you get it.

    That was......short. Go up and watch the scene. OH NO! BAHAMUT!! He'llpick you up and toss you into his nest. Dude, check out all those littlebaby Bahamuts. So cute! :) Anyways, talk to that funny looking guy hiding

    in the nest. Haha. Watch the scene and....Bahamut attacks!

    OK, so you can't actually kill Bahamut right now. He is way too powerful,giving you no choice but to flee. If you leveled up enough, I'm sure it ispossible you could kill him but that would be ridiculous and insane.

    NOTE: Because we had to flee from Bahamut, he won't be recorded into thebestiary. You actually have to kill him, and that won't happen untilmuch later in the game.

    After you run away from Bahamut, you'll watch another scene and Desch willjump off the mountain. Genius!

    By the way, Desch gives you a [MINI] spell, which you will need, in order toenter the next village, Tozus.

    White Magic:Mini-----------------------Wellspring:HP/MP, Revive, Status

    Recommended Level:8-9

    In here there are 3 wellsprings that heal EVERYTHING! One restores HP/MP,one revives all KO'd party members, and one cures all status ailments! Mmmm,water is so cool. Also, if you talk to the tiny person here, he will giveyou a [MINI] spell.

    NOTE: This NPC only gives you a Mini spell if you don't have one in yourinventory. So you could technically get 4 Mini spells from him if youwanted to, hehe. Including the one from Desch, that's five! ;)

    NOTE: When you switch from a physical-based Job to a magic-based Job, your MPwill stay at zero. So whenever you do this throughout the rest of thegame, remember to restore your MP using an Inn or an HP/MP wellspring.

    To enter Tozus, change one of your characters into a Job that can learn thespell Mini. I chose a Red Mage since it can equip much better armor thanthe White Mage.

    Next, use the Healing Copse to replenish your MP. Now you must cast Mini onALL 4 party members, so they all shrink. Now you can enter Tozus.

    Don't forget that you are Mini. If you have a physical-based attack team,they will do crappy damage. You might want to turn them into mages. This wayyou can defeat your opponents.

    Refia (Thief) --------> (Thief) - or another mage

    Luneth (Black Mage) ---> (Black Mage)Arc (Monk) ---------> (Red Mage)Ingus (Red Mage) -----> (Red Mage)

    Here is my current team. I'm going to change Arc and Ingus into Red Magesand a keep my Refia a Thief. Hey, I gotta have my stealing fix! :P Lunethstays as a BM since he does fine. Also, put them all in the back row sincemagic damage isn't affected by row.

    If you don't want to have a Thief, then you can change it to a Black Mage oranother Red Mage. It's just my personal preference. (having a Thief willmake battles more difficult)

    Now we are ready for our itty bitty adventure~! Tozus is located south ofHealing Copse, near the very bottom of the large forest.

    will get to use a Fire Staff very soon which casts Fire for free, when usedas an item during battle. Yay.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    When ready, head to the northwest part of town and enter the house. This isa doctor's house. First off, Zoom-In the camera with the L Button. Thenwalk around the room to find 4 shiny spots. You'll receive a [FIRE STAFF],some [MYTHRIL BRACERS], a [FIRA] spell, and a [CURA] spell.

    NOTE: The Fire Staff is extremely helpful. When you select it in the itemmenu, during battle, it will cast Fire at no MP cost. Lucky!

    NOTE: Only the jobs that can equip the Fire Staff, can use its magic. Also,you don't have to equip it to be able to use it.

    NOTE: Set your Cursor to "Memorize" in the config menu. This way you don'thave to scroll though your items everytime to cast magic with weapons.

    When you talk to the doctor he'll ask for an antidote. Give him one and he'llopen the secret passage. Make sure you stay at the Inn if your MP reserve isalmost out. You'll want full MP before going down here.

    Head back. You'll see a moogle along the way. Send some letters to any ofthe available FFIII Denizens, if you want to.

    Just below the moogle is another VERY well-hidden passage. I mean, you can't

    see any sign of it! You'll find 3 treasure chests with a [BLIZZARA] spell,[FIRA] spell, and a [THUNDARA] spell. Oh yeah! :)

    NOTE: Having a character Lv. 10 Black Mage will give you 1 MP to cast theseamazing Lv.3 spells. This is a great strategy for the next boss if youdivide these up between three Black Mages. Likewise, Red Mages thatare character Lv. 11 will also have 1 MP to cast Lv.3 spells.

    Continue along. You'll see a cannon around here. It's fun to shoot it forabout 10 shots, but that's all it does, unfortunately. :P Go down and meetthe Viking Leader. He will offer you his ship, the Enterprise, if you helpthem out. It's a DEAL! Head up and take the stairs outside.

    ==============NEPTO DRAGON==============

    No matter what you do, DON'T get on that ship!! You'll fight the ultra-powerful Nepto Dragon that deals 10000+ damage each round! So yeah, avoid himat all costs. He is basically programmed to be stronger than you no matterwhat, so even if you were high level you'd still die. Hmph!

    Also, if you're worried about missing his Bestiary entry, have no fear, theNepto Dragon is automatically logged into your records. (except without statssince his power is off the charts) :p

    There is a TON of treasure to find in this section, but first, I want to talkto you about the game's three rarest items.

    They are the Shell Breaker, Shining Curtain, and Silence Seal. These itemscan be found ONLY as monster loot at the end of battle. You may have noticedthat a couple bosses from earlier in the game had a rare chance to drop a

    Silence Seal, but that was pretty unreliable. Now random encounters can dropit, as well as the Shell Breaker! Shining Curtains will be dropped later inthe game. The drop rates are pretty low, but that's what makes it fun! :)

    NOTE: You can try to get these items at any point during the game, so don'tfeel like you -have to- get them now.

You have a long way to go, though, beforeyou can't fight them anymore, but just to be safe, find them all now.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Let's continue. :) Now that you have the Enterprise, you can go explore theworld. Well, for the most part. We will start by going to Tokkul which islocated to the southwest of the Nepto Temple. They are practically touching!

    NOTE: I sure hope that your party isn't still Mini'd. Hehe! ....like mine.

    At the east side of town, along the trees, you can find an [ICE STAFF]. Usethe Zoom-In feature if you can't find it right away. In the house at thenorth part of town you can find some [SONIC KNUCKLES], a [KENPO GI], and a[SERPENT SWORD] in the basement.

    Leave Tokkul.

    When you get to the world map, head south, following the shoreline. It willshortly start taking you west.

    ===============Chocobo Woods===============

    Go inside and catch one. They're so cute! ^_^ While riding a chocobo, therewill be no random encounters. This makes traveling soooo much faster. Ifyou dismount the chocobo, though, it runs back to its home so be careful thatyou're not 1000 miles away from the nearest locale. :p

    From Chocobo's Woods, head west. There is a lonely town on, what looks like,the EDGE of the world!! That's just awesome.

    =========================Village of the Ancients=========================

    There is only one hidden treasure here. Go ahead, find it! You at least knowit's there, right? By the way, it's another [SERPENT SWORD]. OK, if you wannaknow where it is now, look below. :p

    Chocobo Ride:

    =============There is also a little mini-quest you can do in this town. From the entrance,head up all the stairs, going to the center of town. Did you see that littlekid with BRIGHT orange hair? Talk to him. You know what to do! Hehe. Let'sgo for a ride on a shiny yellow Chocobo!

    When you get back, he'll give you......Gnomish Bread? Yeah, thanks, I guess.You can do this as much as you like, if you really want. I did it 10 times tosee if something might happen, but nothing! Oh well.

    Serpent Sword:==============Did you find it yet? Hehe. :P Go to the well on the right side of the Inn. See

    that little white flower up north? There it is, hiding away! :)

    There isn't much else to do here but go shopping. And wow is there a lot ofnew items for sale. But guess what! We aren't gonna buy most if it, hehe.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==Item Shop=========Gil==Potion ..............50Hi-Potion ..........600Gold Needle ........100Maiden's Kiss ......100Echo Herbs .........100

    Mallet .............100Eye Drops ...........40Antidote ............80

    You honestly don't need Hi-Potions right now. At 600 gil a piece, we can'tafford them, yet. Besides, we have better things to buy! Get at least 4 ofthe Maiden's Kiss since we will run into some toads, very soon. Also, buy afew of the Echo Herbs and Gold Needles. Enemies in the next dungeon can useSilence and the Boss can Silence/Petrify you.
