Secret
Developer's Room (Final Fantasy 4): The "Secret Developer's Room" is hidden in the Dwarf
Castle in the Underworld. Between the weapon and armor shop is an odd
section of wall that is actually a doorway to the "Rally-Ho"
pub. On the right side of the pub is a fake wall. Walk through this wall
and you will reach a staircase which leads to the Secret Programmer's
Room.
Hint:
Weapon duplication (Final Fantasy 4): Select "Item" and press X on an empty slot
during a battle. Move up until the equipment in that characters left and
right hands appears. Press X on the weapon to be duplicated. Press Circle
and complete the battle or retreat. After the battle, equip that character
with their weapon in the same hand it was in. The weapon should have a
"2" next to it. Un-equip, then re-equip the weapon. You should
now have one copy of the weapon equipped and another one in inventory.
A similar trick can also be
used with Cid, Bersk Cid, or any character that can use a bow and arrows.
Equip the bow and arrows. Make sure the wizard that is casting Bersk takes
his or her turn immediately before the player with the bow and arrows.
Time it so that the Bersk spell can be selected; and while waiting for the
wizard to cast the spell, have the character with the bow and arrows
select the "Item" sub-menu, and Un-equip the Arrows. Do not exit
the items list. While in the items list, the wizard should be casting the
Bersk spell. The character and the Arrows will get Bersked. The items list
will disappear and the battle will continue. Fight or run away to end the
battle. Then, enter the equip menu to find a number in the character's
hand where the arrows were previously held. Un-equip the bow. Equip the
weapon or shield to be multiplied in the hand containing the number. Keep
equipping and un-equipping until a black box appears next to the weapon in
the items list. That character now has 255 of that item to throw, equip,
or sell.
Equip Cecil with a bow and
some arrows. Place the arrows in his good hand. Start a battle, and
un-equip the arrows by selecting the arrows in his hand, then place them
in a blank spot on the items list. Select the Avenger Sword, and equip it
in the hand where the bow is located. Use Cecil to kill all the enemies.
When the battle ends, enter the equip menu to find the Avenger Sword in
Cecil's bad hand, and a number in Cecil's good hand. There will be nothing
next to the number, as an invisible weapon is equipped. Un-equip the
Avenger Sword, and equip the weapon or shield to be multiplied in Cecil's
good hand (that currently has the number). After it is equipped it, a
black spot next to a number will appear. Un-equip that object to create
255 of the weapon or shield that was placed in Cecil's hand.
Hint:
Skip Sealed Cave event (Final Fantasy 4): When you go to the Underworld and go to the Dwarf Kingdom,
after you have to fight the dolls in the secret crystal chamber, Rydia
returns and helps you fight. After you are done and back in the main
chamber, use her warp spell to get back to the crystal room. The crystal
will still be there. Approach and examine the crystal to take it. Later
when you have to go to the Sealed Cave, if you have the Crystal, you will
not have to enter it. You can skip that event and the game will
automatically go to the sequence that normally happens as you are coming
out.
Hint:
Defeating Asura (Final Fantasy 4): Cast Wall on Asura, and she will not be able to use her cure
spells on herself, and they will be cast on your characters. Make sure
your party is at least level 35 or higher. Attack her with Rydia's best
spells and use your best sword with Cecil. Use the Fire Saber because it
damages her the most. Note: The Fire Saber is obtained from the Tower of
Bable immediately after getting the Earth Crystal. The spell you want to
use with Rydia is Virus. It does at least 700 if your characters are up to
level. Also, if you have Kain, make him jump because he usually has the
most HP -- he does not have to be cured from the reflected cure spells
from Ausara. Note: The less people in your group when they get cured, the
more HP that they will get back. In other words, Kain needs to be in the
air at all times.
Hint:
Defeating Dark Elf: Use the following trick to defeat Dark Elf in two attacks on
his second form. Have your characters at level 27 to 30. Keep attacking
him and curing your characters until he changes to his second form. On his
second form, cast Wind/Tornado once with Tellah and have another character
hit him once. He will fall quickly and not get the chance to do d. Breath.
Hint:
Defeating Golbez (Final Fantasy 4): When fighting Golbez in the underworld after defeating
Calbrena, make sure Kain is up in the air before Golbez summons his
dragon. If you do not, he will kill all of your characters before Rydia
appears. You should have Cecil, Rydia, and if your lucky and your timing
is correct, Kain. Note: Kain will really help in this battle; make him
jump, have Cecil use his sword, and Rydia use Virus.
Hint:
Defeating Milon Z. (Final Fantasy 4): To kill Milon Z. easily, cast some Cure 4 spells on him, or
give him some Elixirs.
Hint:
Defeating the 4 Fiends (Final Fantasy 4): To defeat the 4 Fiends easily, use their weaknesses. For
Milion, keep using Fire spells and attack. When he dies, he will return as
Milion Z. Use Fire, Cure, and attacks to defeat him easily. For Cagnazzo,
use about two Bolt 3s and he should die, depending on your level. For
Valvalis, have Kain jump and make her come out of her tornado form. Keep
attacking her from there. For Rubicant, use Ice 3 only when his cape is
open or else it will cure him. Have Edge throw swords, have Kain jump, and
the rest attack. Note this strategy also works when you have to fight the
4 Fiends again when in the Giant, only Rubicant never closes his cape.
Hint:
Fighting Pink Puffs (Final Fantasy 4): Pink Puffs are in the bottom fight room in B4, on the moon.
There is only one square where you fight Pink Puffs. It is located in the
very top right square. Do this to increase you chance of fighting a group
of Pink Puffs.
Hint:
Easy experience (Final Fantasy 4): Once you are able to venture through the Underworld with the
Red Wings Airship, you can visit the Land of Summons. Try going there no
earlier then level 30, because the monsters hit far too hard. Reach the
town at the bottom of the cave. Save the game once in the town, buy
potions and armor, and use a Cabin/Tent. Go back to the cave, where the
gray teleporter is located. Circle it for awhile. Sooner or later you will
encounter a Conjurer. There are several different ones. Each calls a
different monster into battle (Imps, Arachnes, and Clappers), but the one
you should look for is HugeNaga. Do not kill the Conjurer. Instead, target
the HugeNaga. This should take two attacks from Kain, Cecil, or Edge, or
one cast of Bio from Rydia. After each Naga is killed, the Conjurer will
call another. Just keep killing the HugeNagas repeatedly, while having
Rosa use Cure 3 each turn. This trick can result in up to 35,000
experience and 9 level ups in a single fight.
When you get Edge, he is only
at level 25. To level him up easily, go to the stairs at the Tower of
Babil as soon as you find Edge, but do not enter. If you do, you will not
be able to return and save. Walk around until you find a group consisting
of a Sorcerer and two BladeMen. Quickly defeat the BladeMen, as they are
capable of casting Bio. Do not touch the Sorcerer. He will call in a Green
D. or a MadOgre. Kill off what he calls in, and he will call another one.
Keep repeating the process and you should get an average of 6,000
experience and 2,000 gil for each fight. If you get hurt, return to the
save point.
Go to the moon as if you were
going go fight the last Boss. Go to the third floor and fight some
monsters. You should get at least 20,000 experience in each fight. A very
special monster is the Pink Fluff. It only appears in one location -- on
the third floor in the top right spot. Defeat it for 100,000 experience
per battle.
Hint:
Good weapons (Final Fantasy 4): After you get the airship, go south of Baron Castle. You will
see a small island. Go left and you will see a castle and a big crater
with a tower. Go inside the castle and there will be two paths. First go
to the left and right. When you walk inside the door, there will be some
treasure chests. Go back to the door, but do not go through it. Go as far
as you can to the door without going through it, then go left and follow
the path. Open the treasure chest and fight the monsters. You will get the
Slumber Sword, which is a good for Cecil at this point. Get the other
chest and go through the right side path at the entrance. After that, go
up the stairs until ypu get to the top. Go to the top of the room and turn
right. There should be a hidden path. Follow it and fight the monsters to
get the Blood or Drain Spear for Kain.
Hint:
Secret passage (Final Fantasy 4): When Tellah joins you, in the same room there is a big
waterfall next to Tellah. Go in there to find many good things.
Hint:
Cast Sylph for free (Final Fantasy 4): Keep your group in this formation: from the top, Kain, Rydia,
Cecil, Rosa, Edge. Place Rydia's summons in the order of MP use, lowest to
highest. She will be able to cast Sylph for free in any regular battle
(i.e. not a back attack).
