$he 1lant rain is a pretty easy boss battle if you use your skills correctly.

All his 01 makes him seem like he will be very har, but he isn't because of 

that. 0e is because he is the first enemy you will fi!ht that oes &party&

ama!e with %teiner, an 264 ama!e with Vivi. %o why even !ive it a %emi-

him, so you mi!ht have to survive a lot of attacks. lank will come in after a

lot of his 01 is !one an help out. From here, 1lant rain is almost ea. 0ave

 both iane an lank steal if you haven't !otten the +ron 0elm alreay. +f you

have, or when you o, !ive %teiner an Vivi the !reen li!ht to finish the 1lant

rain off. A bi! note here is that 1lant rain will often put arkness on you.

$his blins you when you attack. + woul like to say that this is only when you

attack him 107%+*A==7, not MA+*A==7. Ma!ic is not affecte by arkness. %o,

have %teiner an Vivi weaken the 1lant rain for lank to come. $hen lank an

iane steal until they !et the +ron 0elm, while %teiner an Vivi efen "press

$hey are pretty easy, ust use your ma!ic an attacks respectively. $hey !ive

After the battles, lank an iane will !et a couple wors in with each other.$hen all of the 1lant %pier's start to !et to them. We then see another

$he secon lack WaltC is a lot more powerful then the first, but not as smart.

0e oesn't summon anythin! an make life miserable for you. All he oes is

attack. ut boy oes he attack( 0e oes three spells, them obviously bein! Fire,

$huner, an liCCar. After you take enou!h of his 01 away they will turn into

the 'ra forms, Fira, $hunara, an liCCara. 0e also uses Dsmoses to rain M1

from someone at this time. $he !oo thin! about this fi!ht is that, unlike the

 previous battle, you have a full party with you. 0e has some !oo stuff to

steal, so have iane steal until he has at least the =eather 1late. $hen he can

start hackin! away. %teiner shoul use Fire %wor until the lack WaltC says

uncle, or until he runs out of M1. At which case, he shoul ust hack away with

iane. 5a!!er will take the role of a healer, since she is suppose to be a

healer, an has *ure. Lse *ure as neee. =astly, Vivi nees to attack an heal.

ut 5D /D$ use ma!ic on him. Why) +f he oes, the lack WaltC will counterattack 

with the same ma!ic on the entire party. $his is very ba an not worth it. %o,

Vivi is a healer an attacker. With iane an %teiner hackin! away, an 5a!!er 

*urin!, this battle shoul be pretty easy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After this battle, you have the option of restin! in the inn or boarin! the

car!o ship. + hi!hly avise that heal an save before you boar. Dnce you ecieto boar, iane will offer to !o ask the men if they can take a rie. %teiner 

will say that he shoul !o, an iane alreay knows that the plane 'ain't !oin!

woner why...

$hen they see that the ship is bein! run by minless black ma!es. Vivi tries to

converse with them but it's to no avail. Vivi starts to cry, an then iane

!ets on one knee like he is proposin! to 5a!!er an tells Vivi that it is all

ri!ht. After that, we fin out that iane's plan is to take control of the ship

an rie it to =inblum. 7ou will then take control. Walk own the hall to the

We will see %teiner mournin! over takin! off without 5a!!er. Walk a little

iane finally erks the ship an at the same time erks %teiner ima!ination

the last one( More yellin! will occur back in the pilotin! room. %teiner will

try to !rab iane but he is as swift as a monkey( $hen all the black ma!es come

outcome of who wins(

man. Bill it then continue. 7ou are !oin! to want to kill every animal in this

istrict, so look in every nook an cranny. +t's only optional, thou!h.

Why is it optional, you mi!ht ask) ecause when there is less then 8 minutes

left on the clock, a a!hnol will attack aku's niece an nephew in the usiness

5istrict. $he beast will be in the Fountain circle, where the %ynthesis,

E@uipment shop, an +tem shop are. Hemember, thou!h, that you have J minutes to

the other istricts. ;ust remember to !o to the a!hnol when they're aroun 8

minutes left. 0e is worth a towerin! 644 points, so even if you haven't kille

any monsters, you will still win.

 /ow you mi!ht be askin! &%o how o + !et Oinsert name hereP to win)& Well, when

you start to fi!ht the a!hnol Freya will ump in an attack with you. 7ou will

A!ain, + 0+0=7 A5V+%E that you have Freya win, unless you are really low on il

or are obsesse with the car !ame "+ hope not#. et there with aroun minutes

left so you have a little e9tra time to !et to the a!hnol. + hi!hly avise that

you have iane steal even if you want him to win, the a!hnol has both a

Mythril love an a /eele Fork. oth of these items are very !oo to have

e@uippe at this point in the !ame, an can sell for somethin!. Hemember to

%$EA= both items, even if you take some abuse an have to use up some potions,

it will be well worth it.

7ou will then !et reware with the appropriate item to whoever won, an a 0unt

Master title. Afterwars, however, somethin! very une9pecte happens. A

urmecian solier will come an ask for reinforcements, it seems that a !roup of 

lack Ma!es is terroriCin! urmecia( $he He!ent an Minister will talk a bit

about the situation, an they finally ecie that there are no troops to brin!

over, they are all scattere about the re!ion lookin! over rahne( Freya, Vivi,

an iane ecie to !o as reinforcements. 5a!!er is tol that she cannot !o.

$hey all ecie to have a feast before they !o, for some stran!e reason. Another 

weir part is why the He!ent oesn't !ive them a ship. +t woul take them ten

secons to !et to urmecia in an air ship( Anyway, in the feast 5a!!er uses

iane's sleepin! wee to knock everyone out besies her an %teiner. %teiner 

feels... how can + say, left out that he wasn't poisone) Anyway, they both

leave for somewhere that we o not know.

$he rest of the party wakes up, an you are tol to !o to iCamaluke's rotto.

$hen the three of you, iane, Vivi, an Freya will team up. E@uip them with all

the new items you bou!ht an stole. $hen, if you have anythin! else you want to

Also buy one more set of e@uipment that Vivi wears. $his will be a %ilk %hirt"or *otton Hobe#, %teeple 0at, an lass Armlet. When you are reay to !o, take

----------

After you have optionally one that, run north from 5ra!on's ate an you will

$hen, + hi!hly su!!est that you catch all the fro!s in the pon, leavin! only

one male an one female. $his will !ive them time to reprouce, so when you

are reay, leave Gu's Marsh.

Worl Map

---------

 /ow that you are on the worl map, it is time to level up( 7ou shoul have all

the optional stuff one by now "if you ecie to o it#. + recommen that all

 party members be at level 24 before we !o insie the rotto. $his means that

when you fi!ht the boss you shoul all be at level 22. At any rate, level

everyone up on the worl map. y potions if neee in 5ra!on ates shop. 0ave

Freya e@uip an +ron 0elm an have the =evel Lp ability on.

While you are levelin! up, their is a creature calle the he!eho! pie. + want

 powerful blue ma!ic, 1umpkin 0ea. $his attack will o Guina's ma9imum number of 

01 minus the 01 she has currently. %o if you have 24484 01 it will o ?4

ama!e in that turn. +t's very useful for some of the bosses comin! up( When you

are at level 24, an have 1umpkin 0ea, you will fin iCamaluke's rotto if you

oor an rin! the bell. $he oor will open an the bell will shatter. o insie.

At this time + woul like to talk about the enemies. $he %keletons an 0ornets

are pretty easy to efeat. $he skeletons usually come in ones, so they are

really easy to efeat. $hey o aroun J4 ama!e. $he 0ornets come in threes, so

they are harer. $here is one enemy that + woul like to iscuss. $hat is the

=amia. $his... pink worm is ealy. +t oes aroun 244 ama!e with slash, can

cure itself 2J4 01, an can confuse a character into attackin! an ally. $hese

are pretty har to efeat, but if you are awake urin! the battle, an use

ma!ic, they shouln't be very har. 7ou only !et to kill a hanful of lack Ma!e

$ype A's here, as they are not ranom spawns. $hey aren't very tou!h because

they only o aroun 244 ama!e per spell an are slow.

7ou will see two lack Ma!es obliterate a solier, then orn an $horn will

Anyway, the moo!le ens up askin! for Vivi's Bupo /ut. ive it to her, an she

will tell her husban that she has a Bupo /ut waitin! for him. 0e suenly !ets

$ype A's shouln't be somethin! new for you. $hey cast any of the three normal

they are no bi! eal. asilisks also !o own in one hit. $he only tou!h enemy

here is the +ronite. 0e hols court here ust as the =amia i of the last area.

0e can !o own in a couple attacks, but + want you to keep facin! them until you

Dnce you !o throu!h the oor, you will fin yourself in an outer area. +f you !o

it usually sticks on the first try. $hen have him cast $hunara until the cows

come home. +t shoul o aroun 44 ama!e every time( Freya shoul be usin!

=ancer until she runs out of M1, an then ;ump. $his shoul o aroun ?44

%hock. =astly, Guina shoul be a full time healer. %he shoul be throwin!

After the fi!ht, eatri9 will talk some more about her bein! stron! an you

7ou will fin yourself in a whirlpool room. 7ou will most efinitely !et sucke

coul be here for a little while tryin! to ump out the ri!ht way( What's even

worse is that the e9it to the ne9t room is blockae by a whirlpool, so you

coul fin yourself here for a couple minutes tryin! to !o out the correct way.

$o make matters worse, there are also two treasure chests in this room that you

will want to !et. Dne has J44 il an the other has a 0i-1otion. When you try to

!o to the chests an the e9it, !o slowly past the mile of the whirlpools. 7ou

will probably !et sucke in the first couple of times. When you !et sucke own

After the non-important Guina A$E, if you !o up another fli!ht of stairs you

will see a familiar urmecian solier, 5an. 0e will be ne9t to his wife. 5an's

sellin! some pretty arn !oo e@uipment that will help you immensely. After

Most importantly, check out all the A$Es. ;ust !o back an forth between areas

to see the A$Es. +t seems that every hates Vivi, an that Guina is about to eat

a 'shroom.

After you look at both of the A$Es, !o back to the entrance to the *leyra

settlement. Dnce you reach where the two Dracles were, !o ri!ht an you will see

Guina. Walk up to her an converse, an she'll think that the whirlpool is ice

cream an ump in( iane will !o insie with she an we will fall back own a

seems that the urmecian's like to use a wor that starts with the same letter 

of their race name. +f you look at Vivi while they are sayin! this, he oesn'tlook affecte at all. $hen the Dracle will come, all lai back, an preserve the

!ive you a messa!e from Freya. +t basically says to !o wait in the inn. 7ou know

how to !et there. ut you mi!ht be askin! &%o why i we ust rest)& $he simple

answer is that when you are about to !o in the inn, 5an will run up an tell

everyone that a ki is !ettin! maule by an Antlion.

Df course, the Dracle ust basically shru!s him off an walks away. Follow 5an

own to the entrance of the %ettlement. +f you talk to him, he will ust state

the obvious. o to the left, this is the whirlpool that Guina umpe into. $his

time, however, it won't be vacant. 7ou will see the hu!e Antlion tryin! to

$his boss fi!ht isn't very tou!h. $he Antlion has three attacks. $he first one,

which we shoul all be familiar with, is calle Fira. $his will o aroun 644

ama!e on one person. +t's not to ba, it can be heale. $hen we have *ounter 

0orn, which is Antlion's counterattack. 0e will use this often, but it normally

misses. +n my fi!ht it misse times. +t's not a reliable counterattack. When

it oes hit, thou!h, it oes aroun 644 ama!e. $he last attack that Antlion

uses is one that you shoul be oesn't abuse. 0e rarely uses %anstorm. $his is

an attack that hits everyone's 01 to the critical sta!e. $his is the yellow

sta!e in 01, it will brin! everyone's 01 own to aroun 4-I4. $his attack issimilar to eatri9's %hock reak, but you can fi!ht back this time. When Antlion

uses this, you shoul @uickly counter with Guina's White Win. $his will restore

644 01 to everyone in the party an !ive you time to heal more. 0e shouln't

abuse %anstorm, + only saw it once in the whole fi!ht. + say &Whole Fi!ht& as

attackin! an not stealin!. 7ou can !et most of those items a little later in

the !ame. Vivi, who will be your !o of the fi!ht, shoul abuse the usa!e of 

liCCara. %ince Antlion uses Fira, we know that he's weak to liCCara( $his

shoul o a hu!e 2444 ama!e to Antlion. /ow you know why this fi!ht oesn't

last very lon!. Freya shoul use =ancer like theirs no tomorrow. $his shoul o

aroun ?44 ama!e. Also, when Antlion uses %anstorm, have Freya use Heis' Win.

$his will restore everyone's 01 223 every turn. +t is e9tremely !oo when

Antlion uses %anstorm, as it almost completely counters it. =astly, Guina

shoul be the healer of the fi!ht. Guina's ob shoul be throwin! both 1otions

an 0i-1otions as neee. +f Guina has any free turns to attack, please o so.

$he /eele Fork is a !amble, sometimes it will o 644 ama!e an sometimes 344

ama!e. Dbviously, when Antlion uses %anstorm have Guina use White Win. +f,

however, you have kept track of how much ama!e you have inflicte on Antlion

throu!hout the fi!ht, an see how much 01 Guina has an she's ma9imum, you can

finish Antlion off with 1umpkin 0ea. Hemember that 1umpkin 0ea oes your 

ma9imum 01 minus the 01 you have currently, always. When you !et own to

critical sta!e, this mi!ht be the en of the fi!ht(

After the fi!ht, Freya an 1uck will have a little conversation. 7ou can really

see the ifference between the way 1uck an Freya talks. 1uck oesn't want to

see his father, an runs off. efore he !oes, he says hi to Vivi. +f you

remember, 1uck was the rat ki in the be!innin! of isc one. 0e was the ki that

!ave Vivi a &ticket& for the show. $hen the screen will chan!e to Freya at the

have an ancient ceremony. $he ancin! sort of looks +rish, with them overusin!

their le!s. $he music is pretty !oo, however. After the ceremony, thou!h,

two of them. $his time it will be cake with %teiner. 0ave Freya finish of either 

of the other two's anersnatch. /ow you will be back to iane

0ave iane !o own to the circular platform. $his was the area before you foun

5a!!er. +nstea of !oin! up to the 5a!!er room, !o own. $hen run own to the

trap platform room. Fall for it, like the !ame wants you too. Afterwars, orn

an $horn will run out an boast about their trick. $hen, thou!h, Marcus an

%teal: Dak %taff, Aaman Vest

5ifficulty: Very Easy

1arty: iane "2I#, Vivi "2I#, 5a!!er "28#

$his battle is riiculously easy. Halvuima!o is not the other snake you

encountere, he is a little stron!er an has better attacks. When you attack him

 physically, he will become compact. $his will !ive him hu!e efense. 7our 

attacks will be like you have the mini status effect. +f you attack him

 physically while he is compact, he will use a move calle 1ower of the =an. +t

oes a lot of ama!e to everyone, incluin! himself. 0owever, it is earth type

ama!e, so it will heal him. 5on't attack him while he is compact( Halvuima!o

has a move calle Lltra %oun Wave. $hese will mini a character, an rener themuseless. 7ou cannot cure this status effect yet, so it's time to fret. 0e has

$hunara, which will o aroun 24 ama!e to each party member. =astly,

Halvuima!o has %tab, his physical attack. $his will only o aroun 644 ama!e to

one character, so it's no bi! eal. Dkay, so why !ive this !uy a Very Easy, you

mi!ht be askin!) Well, + ust stumble over somethin! to abuse in this fi!ht.

Halvuima!o has to use a turn to become compact, an he can't attack unless you

hit him while he is compact. %o what is there to abuse) Well, what + i was

have iane attack physically. 0e woul become compact an waste a turn. $hen +

ha everyone efen, an he uncompacte. After that, + ha iane hit him

 physically a!ain an he became compacte a!ain. 7ou see where + am !oin! here)

0e can't touch you if he has to waste a move to compact an uncompact, so this

 battle can even be one slowly with iane attackin! like that. 0owever, most of 

you on't want to o that because it woul be a yawnathon. %o, have Vivi cast

%low an 5a!!er cast lin on the snake. $his makes him !o a lot slower an his

 physical attacks will miss often. /ow, have Vivi spam $hunara until the cows

come home. $his will o aroun I4 ama!e each time. 5a!!er can be the healer 

with *ura. =astly, iane can steal the stuff he has an heal. +f Halvuima!o

uses Lltra 1ower Wave on Vivi, then use the above tactic with iane. +t mi!ht

take a little while, but you will have no chance of losin!.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fi!ht, you mi!ht notice that the snake ies. 0owever, it seems to come

 back from the ea an starts chasin! you on the ar!ant( 7ou fly ri!ht passe

$reno( 7ou finally see the li!ht at the en of the tunnel, but that isn't a !oo

thin!. $hen we !o back to rahne. orn an $horn will say that the Gueen's

!uests have arrive an a solier will in@uire for them. rahne will o some

incomprehensible move an the solier will come back. +t seems orn an $horn

are lookin! for a ob. $hen two ounty 0unters come in an talk to the Gueen.

Watch closely as events unfol. $ake more notice of the silent re hea, thou!h.

Enemies:

--------

%eeker at "344 01#

%an %corpion "44 01#

a!hnol "2644 01#

+t seems that the ar!ant crashe at 1innacle Hocks. $he threesome will !et to

talkin! for a little bit, then a floatin! ol man will appear. 5a!!er will

reco!niCe him once he says his name. 0e is Hamuh, $huner o. $hey talk a

little bit about the estruction of *leyra, an then he will tell you that if 

you fin five manifests, an put them in the ri!ht orer, he will be your 

eiolon.

efore we !o any further, let's talk about the enemies. %eeker ats are no

 problem at all, they o small ama!e. $hey mi!ht absorb 01, but it will only be

a little. 7ou mi!ht of fou!ht %an %corpions at *leyra $runk, an they are the

e9act same as before. $hey shoul be even easier to efeat. An, of course, we

know that in almost every area of the !ame we have one Qbi!Q enemy. $his is the

a!hnol. =ike the =amia, +ronite, %an olem, an uu before him, he is the only

real challen!e of the area. 0e is a stron!er version then the one at the

festival. 0e has more 01, but the same stren!th. 7ou shoul have fairly !oo

e@uipment on, at least better then you ha in the festival, so they shouln't be

much of a problem. $hey come in sin!les, so you can have iane attack an Vivi

cast $hunara for a one-two punch.

Anyway, back to the five-part story. $his can be consiere optional, but it is

e9tremely easy to !et the five an put them in the ri!ht orer. 7ou will also

!et Hamuh pretty early, so you can !et the ability points one with him an !oonto a better eiolon. %o, + really hope that you oin me in oin! this story.

o to the left a little ways from where 5a!!er is stanin! an Hamuh will pop

up. et &e!innin!& from him.

o up to the area you were ust in. $his was where the ar!ant crashe. o near

the le!e an you will !et &0ero&. o back own to the previous area. From here,

!o save an tent at the moo!le. 7our 01 an M1 won't be restore from the last

 battle, an bein! fresh out of M1 here is a ba thin!. o own the slope an

take the Mythril Vest in the barely visible chest to the south. $hen, from the

chest !o north an stay on the ri!ht. 7ou will see Hamuh if you !o up far 

enou!h. $ake &0uman& an continue left.

7ou will see two chests in this ne9t area. Dne will be north of you an the

other will be a little ways away. o to the north one. efore you have a chance

to !rab it, Hamuh will pop up. $alk to him to !et &*ooperation& then take the

chest for another D!re. $hen, !o aroun the slope ne9t to the chest to another 

area. Hun up a little an !et &%ilence& from Hamuh. /ow you have all five parts

of the story.

o back own the last area an this time !o up the slope. o north an take the

 bri!e ri!ht an then follow the path. +f you ecie to ump own to !et the

chest, you will fin a Mythril Armlet, but have to !o all the way aroun an

 back up. 7ou ecie. Anyway, follow the path throu!h an you will see Hamuh. 0e

will tell you that you foun all five parts of the story, but now you have to

 put them in orer. 1lease try to o this before + tell you the orer.

$he orer is e!innin!, *ooperation, %ilence, an 0ero0uman. 7ou can choose

either 0ero or 0uman it's your ecision to which one you think is better. +t

oesn't matter if you choose the first or the latter. +t ens up with you

!ettin! the 1eriot, an a-on for the Hamuh eiolon. $hen iane will stumble

upon why you coul of chose either 0ero or 0uman. Hea the sie @uest section

for more etail.

 /ow you can either ecie to ump off now or later. *hoose to ump off now. Wethen see two of the best FMV's in the entire !ame. Gueen rahne is estroyin!

=inblum with cannons, an she brin!s in lack Ma!es to take care of the !roun

troops. $hey then procee to burnin! up the entire city. $hen rahne summons the

Atomos eiolon. +t opens it's mouth lar!er then Guina ever coul an sucks up a

lot of the city. $his horrifies a!!er.

torturin! a lack Ma!e. *ontinue north an in the ne9t screen !o northeast. 7ou

will remember this as the fountain circle with all the shops. 7ou will see the

Minister talkin! to an officer. $hen everyone will converse an the Minister 

will take you to see the He!ent.

$he o!le looks as sa as ever. $hey will talk a little bit, an then two

soliers will brin! Vivi in the room. +t's all a misunerstanin!, but of course

they cover it up with the first thin! they can think of. $hen they talk about

Bua bein! the Ma!ic 5ealer "almost as ba as supplyin! rahne with ru!s# an

of course iane knows all about the Duter *ontinent. $hen everyone ecies that

if we beat on Bua we can beat on rahne. $hat oesn't soun ri!ht.

Anyway, $he three ecie that they all want to !o fin Bua. $hen, iane asks

for an airship. Well, it seems that is to no availability, either. *i will then

talk about the two conitions of their surrener. $he Airship an the Falcon's

*law. $he weir part is that all of these eiolons have been scattere about the

four !reat nations... why) $his is a @uestion that will efinitely be answere

if we !o to the Duter *ontinent.

$he only way that you can !et to the Duter *ontinent is either to swim or fin

this e9cavation site in the marsh north of =inblum. +' like the latter a

little myself. + think we can all !uess what the Marsh is calle) Anyway, *i

will han you some col har cash an we will !o on a shoppin! spree. uy the

new e@uipment that the !ame has to offer. $he E@uipment %hop an %ynthesis %hop

will still be there, but the +tem %hop will be in ruins. $alk to the woman that

is on top of it to buy items. Dh, an on't for!et to check the %ynthesis shop.

+t has new stuff, incluin! iane's E9ploa, a new a!!er. When you are reay,

talk to the man by the fountain.

7ou will then see a pretty lon! A$E. +t seems that rahne wants to !o to

somewhere... but where) Anyway, iane an 5a!!er will sneak insie the castle

an o own the lift. $hey will talk about !oin! to the outer continent, an

then the lift will reach the base floor. Vivi will meet up with them. $hen, *i

will !ive them a ra!. Err... a ra! of the entire worl. +t mi!ht prove useful.

 /ow, there will be another A$E an then we will be at 5ra!on's ate a!ain. %ave

Ah, finally back on the worl map. ;ust suck in all that nice, fresh mist. Dh,

 back to our story. 7ou can o the same stuff as you coul last time here. 7ou

can !o to *hocobo Forest an wran!le up some *hoco!raphs or !o to Gu's Marsh.

Lh... ust in case you in't know, Gu's Marsh is that flat forest strai!ht

ahea of you. + avise that you at least !o !et *hoco now. 0e will be useful for 

transportation in the for!otten continent. Anyway, when you are reay, enter the

flat forest north of =inblum's 5ra!on ate.

Gu's Marsh

----------

7ou shoul be a re!ular here. o north from the planks then !o throu!h the !rass

a little north of Mo!ster. 7ou will be at a pon. Guina will be here( $alk to

Guina an she will ecie to come with. 7ou all know you misse Guina. Anyway,

!o back own the brush to Mo!ster. $hen, !o ri!ht all the way. 7ou shoul !o to

another area. o own the path ri!ht all the way until you reach the last brush

openin!. 7ou shoul notice it because it is arker. Guina will say that she

Walk own the stairs an into the !uts of Fossil Hoo. 7ou will now be in a

cavern-type room. o own an turn the corner an the !roun will start shakin!(

$hen, a ca!e will !o over an openin! to the stairs an a weir machine will come

out of the sie. +t's time to run( 7ou will have to successfully outrun the

machine throu!h three areas. +n each of these areas there will be throwin!

knifes that will sway back an forth. $hese won't o any ama!e to you, but will

stop you from avancin!.

Fi!htin! the machine, Armoullahan "Wow, lon! name(# really isn't that har. 0e

has three attacks: %pear, =evel eath, an $hunara. %pear will o a little

ama!e. =evel eath will kill any an all party members instantly if their 

current level is ivisible by . $hunara is ust a re!ular seconhan enemy

attack. /o bi! eal. 7ou will only have to o aroun 344 ama!e before he falls

apart. 0e will, however, put himself back to!ether an !o after you in the ne9tarea.

$he first time + went throu!h + specifically stoppe an attacke it throu!h all

three areas. 0e was a piece of cake. Anyway, there will be a crumblin! in the

!roun an the machine will fall in it while iane safely umps over it. $hen

everyone will !o insie the ne9t room an fall on each other. $hen the bounty

hunter that met up with rahne will arrive. $hey will converse for a bit about

rahne bein! ba, an then we have another boss fi!ht.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oss /ame: =ani

01: 3444

%teal: *oral %wor, laius, Ether 

1arty: iane "2J#, Vivi "2J#, 5a!!er "2J#, Guina "2J#

5ifficulty: Meium

=ani really isn't that har of a boss. $he simple reason why + !ive her a meium

is because of her arsenal of attacks. %he has every sin!le one of the 'ra

spells, which will o aroun ?44 ama!e to one character. %he sometimes wastes a

turn to scan someone to fin his or her weakness, an then uses the appropriate

spell. $hat's a bi! waste of two turns, in my opinion. 7ou also mi!ht fin her 

use Aera if the character's weakness is Win. /o bi! eal there either. 0er bi!

attack in this fi!ht is Water. Water is pretty evastatin!. +t oes ?44 ama!e

to every character. $hat's really ba. 0owever, she oesn't abuse this power.

7ou mi!ht see her use it once or twice in the fi!ht, but that's it. Dh, an she

has physical attacks, but they are ust like a spell. + want you to watch out

for 5a!!er an Vivi. $hey have low health, so ?44 ama!e here an ?44 ama!e

there an they are !oners. +f you are the recommene level, then you shoul

have aroun 4 01 with 5a!!er an 34 01 with Vivi. $hese two characters are

key to this battle, so keep them in tip top shape, capiche) Anyway, onto

character uties. iane shoul be physically attackin! =ani, he shoul be oin!

aroun 2444 ama!e each hit. Vivi's ob is to cast any of the 'ra spells or io.

All the 'ra spells will o the same ama!e, =ani is a pretty steay character in

the weaknesses epartment. 5a!!er shoul cast lin on =ani the first turn thiswill make her physical attacks lau!hable. Afterwars, she shoul cure people

with spells an meical items as neee. Abuse *ure, it is still a !oo

restoration ability. Guina's role in this fi!ht is to be on stanby when =ani

oes Water. When she oes, Guina shoul *ounter with White Win. $his will make

her Water attack pretty useless. Guina shoul stick to attackin! an healin! as

Page 92: Final Fantasy Ix Walktrough

7/25/2019 Final Fantasy Ix Walktrough

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-fantasy-ix-walktrough 92/288

neee. When + attacke with Guina + only i aroun 4 ama!e. + in't know

what !ive, but throu!hout the entire fi!ht Guina woul only o 4 ama!e. %o

Guina can also heal. With iane an Vivi attackin!, while 5a!!er an Guina are

healin!, there is almost no way you can lose. =ani !ets a meium because even

thou!h she has some !reat attacks, your party is so meically stron! that it

wouln't make a ifference. %he isn't like eatri9 %he oesn't have any J44

ama!e attack that will completely kill you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fi!ht =ani &will let you !o& an run off. $hat souns like a victory

to me. Anyway, !o own the stairs that she was occupyin!. +n the ne9t screen,

you will hear a ar!ant, an then you will see it !o by. iane will !et the

 bri!ht iea to use it as transportation. $his is possibly the worst place in the

!ame ne9t to the *leyra $runk. 7ou will fin out why.

Hun up the steps to iane's ri!ht an follow the path to yellow flowers. $ake a

flower, then !o over east a little an the fiel icon will pop up. 1ress < an

the ar!ant will come. $his time, however, he will eat the flower, an iane

will hop on its back. +t will then continue !oin! on its small route an iane

will ump off it. From here, !o north up the steps to ne9t area. $hen !o own

the stairs an talk to the treasure hunter.

$he $reasure 0unter will tell you all the basics of this hell. 0e tells you that

the only way to !et further insie the site is to hitch a rie on the ar!ant's

 back. $hen he will tell you that if you ust !o onto a ar!ant, it will lea you

to a ea en. %o, you have to control which way the ar!ant !oes by pullin!

water switches. $hese water switches are curiously a little while away from

where you hop own, so you will have to fi!ht a lot of battles. +f this oesn't!ive you a !oo iea of this... place then you will see as we !et further 

insie.

 /ow let's talk about the enemies. + always knew you wante to. Anyway, let's

start off with %eeker at's. $hese little sucker suck, literally suck, your 01

at will. $hey aren't really that har, thou!h. oo one-hit kills with iane.

Abomination's look weir, but aren't that har to efeat. Eat them to learn,

which is a !reat skill to use later in the !ame. e sure to keep tryin! to eat

them until you !et /i!ht. Feather *ircles oin the above two in bein! very easy

to efeat, but annoyin! because of how often you have to fi!ht them. =astly,

riffins oin the =amia an %an olem as the &estroyers& of the area. riffins

have the most 01 an can o the most ama!e. $hat still oesn't mean they are

har to beat.

Dkay, now !o own the steps from the treasure hunter to the moo!les. 7ou will

see a familiar face, %tiltCkin. $alk to him an buy the Ether, Hemey, an

1hoeni9 1inion he has for il. $hen, talk to the other moo!le. 7ou can buy

meical items from him at Mo!shop. $alk to him about Mo!net an he will tell you

about his letters. $hen save your !ame.

 /ow it is time to level up. + want everyone at level 64 before we continue. +t

shouln't be very har the enemies here !ive a lot of e9perience. Hemember that

5ifficulty: Easy

$his is a very easy fi!ht if you are at the recommene levels. 0il!i!ars' is

very easy because your party is a lot more avance then him iane will take

on someone with J444 01 A=D/E ust a little later in this !ame. 0il!i!ars' islucky enou!h to have four attacks. First off, he has Bnock 5own. $his is

 basically a physical attack 0il!i!ars hits one person for aroun 844 ama!e.

5a!!er or Eiko can easily heal this will *ura, an you shoul have Auto-1otion

e@uippe. %o, this can be completely countere with healin!. %econ off, he has

0ishop. $his is an attack where he umps up in the air an falls on someone. +t

mi!ht soun painful, but it only oes aroun 844 ama!e, also. A!ain, it can be

easily countere with 5a!!erEiko or Auto-1otion. $hir off, he has Earth@uake.

$his is the most powerful attack he has. +t will o aroun ?44 ama!e to all

 party members. =uckily, everyone shoul have Auto-1otion e@uippe, so it will

effectively be countere on its own. 0eal whoever !ets hit by a sin!le attack on

the followin! turn. Finally, he has *ura!a. $his may not seem like an attack,

 but 0il!i!ars' oes have a tenency of abusin! *ura!e. +t heals 664 ama!e,

which is really !oo. +t's 28 of his 01. 0e wastes a turn to use this, so you

shoul inflict ust as much or more ama!e with his waste turn. Dkay, let's !o

to character uties. iane shoul not be a thief here, so on't have him steal.

 /either are worth it, you can buy both at your local store. %o, he shoul be

attackin!. 0e shoul be oin! aroun 2644 ama!e each hit. $his is pretty !oo.

 /e9t, we have youn! Vivi. 0is role is to cast io repeately. $his shoul o

aroun 2844 ama!e each time. 0il!i!ars' has pretty low 01 for your level. +f 

you weren't anywhere near the recommene level, then + woul su!!est you have

Vivi cast %low first. 5a!!er shoul heal as necessary "see above# an use Hamuh.

A!ain, if you are at a lot lower level you can have her cast %ilence. $his will

make this battle really easy, as it takes away Earth@uake from 0il!i!ars. 1lease

note that you cannot blin him, he has a !uar to that. Eiko shoul be ri!ht

ne9t to 5a!!er in this battle. + mean this in more ways then one. Eiko shoul

heal with 5a!!er, an use Fenrir. Also have her %ilence if you want to. $his

 battle is very easy Even if you are at an e9tremely low level you can win. +t's

 ust so... easy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the pushover is efeate Eiko will say that 0il!i!ars shows up from time

to time %he ust runs away. %he tells us that what we thou!ht was calle the

5espite what some people say, %carlet 0air is an absolute 1L%0DVEH if you fi!ht

him correctly. %ee, %carlet 0air is e9tremely fast an will move all over the

can't attack you when he moves, either. %o it's actually more beneficial for you

 because while he umpin! aroun you can throw a 0i-1otion on yourself. When he

After the fi!ht, it seems as thou!h the tables have turne. 7ou are now that

unstoppable eatri9 that leaves her enemies to rot( Well, not e9actly. iane

asks for what he stole, an he obeiently !ives it back. %carlet 0air continues

to ask iane to kill him, but it's to no availability. Finally, %carlet 0air

5a!!er will accientally say a line from +spen's play. iane will then say a

story about +spen. +f you notice, we are !oin! to !o to +spen's *astle a little

5a!!er sees the Eiolon Wall a!ain, but it tri!!ers a flashback this time

she became a princess, but 5octor $ot mi!ht have the answer. %he continues to

talk about her mother, who became someone else, an her biolo!ical mother, whoie in her first memory. $hen we see a part of the actual Eiolon Wall. Eiko

the play an walk ownstairs. Huby will yell at you a little, thinkin! you are

lank. $hen *inna walks in an ientifies you as Vivi. + on't know where Vivi

!ot his an!er from, but all of a suen he calls *inna &uncle.& +t's suppose to

 be a oke because he looks ol, but coul it mean more then that) iane is

*inna's &brother&, you know...

Huby will talk to Vivi a little more, an she will be e9cite that someone

 besies $antalus will want to see her play. Vivi sits own at a seat lank an

Marcus !o insie finally. lank will think that Vivi, as a istraction will

cause Huby not to see them surreptitiously sneak in. $his is wron!, however.

1oor lank...

We will then !o back to 5a!!er in the castle. %he will have a lot of thin!s on

her min. 5a!!er will ask %teiner to fin iane so she coul talk to him, but

%teiner of course makes up a reason for her not to see him. 5octor $ot will walk 

in with eatri9. $hen he !ives you the $opal, Dpal, an Amethyst stones. 0e

starts to tell you about rahne usin! the power of the stones for evil, but he

@uickly eviates from the subect. %teiner an 5octor $ot will leave an eatri9

will stay. 5a!!er will plea to see iane a!ain. Mayhaps she thou!ht it woul

work, because eatri9 is a little less strict then %teiner. ut it oesn't, an

the screen faes.

+n the ne9t screen we see Eiko talk about iane a little. %he thinks that if 

she !ives iane a love letter that she will win his heart. $hen 5octor $ot will

come out of 5a!!er's room. 0e will talk a little about 5a!!er an walk own the

stairs. Eiko will see him an basically ask him to write her a love letter. $his

is only after she completely insults him, however. 5octor $ot sees Eiko's horn

an woners for a little bit. $hen we see 5octor $ot woner some more. +t seems

he was the person that foun 5a!!er ship wrecke( 0e talks about how 5a!!er looke e9actly like 1rincess arnet, but with one e9ception. %he ha a horn( $he

 plot thickens(

$he 1rincess will be all resse up. %he has a nice ress on + !uess she

the !ame( Anyway, 5a!!er will be concerne that eatri9 an %teiner won't act

the same for her if they know she is not rahne's real mother. %he speaks her 

min, but eatri9 reassures her that she alreay knows, an that she will act

the same.

 /ow we !o back to Eiko an 5octor $ot a!ain. %he will !rab the letter an leave.

0owever, she will say that she is from Maain %ari before she leaves. $his

strikes interest in $ot. /ow you have control of Eiko. efore you !o, you can

save your !ame in the previous room. $hen, !o back out to the corrior an !o

north to the bi! s@uare room. Eiko will talk about !ivin! her letter to iane,

then aku will bump into her an she will !et hooke onto the stair rail this

time. Aren't we... ust !oin! aroun in circles) Eiko will rop the letter an

ask aku to !ive it to iane. 0e a!rees, an leaves.

aku will be at the ocks an %teiner will come aroun. 0e is Cealously checkin!

aroun the castle for anythin! that moves. 0e talks to aku for a little bit.

$he two !et into an ar!ument an aku rops the letter( $hen he boat comes an

he hops on, happy to be ri of %teiner. Afterwars, eatri9's music will start

 playin! an she comes out to the ocks. Apparently, she hear %teiner's yellin!

an came out to preserve the peace. %he sees the letter an thinks that %teiner 

roppe it for her to pick up. +nterestin!...

We !o back to iane who !ot over his han!over. 0e starts talkin! about 5a!!er a

little. 0e takes the lines from &+ Want $o e 7our *anary& an shouts about how

he can't be!in the ay with her voice, her smile, her-- um... ahem. Huby walks

in an you can blatantly tell it's her because of her corny-western-type

talkin!. lank, Marcus, an Vivi's favorite Lncle will enter afterwars. $hey

will try to !et iane to at least talk to 5a!!er, but it's to no avail. As

iane tries to leave, aku bumps into him. iane pleas to enter $antalusa!ain, but aku siesteps with &our number one rule.& Vivi walks in, an asks

iane if they can !o see 5a!!er. $antalus leaves, an iane forms up with

Vivi.

+ on't care if you want to learn sacrifice or lucky seven, those skills suck.

%o, o yourself a favor an e@uip him with the An!el's less. + also hi!hly

su!!est that you e@uip him with every new thin! you !ot at the Ale9anria shops.

My recommenation is to !ive him a lack elt 0e can learn 01 T64Z with this.

+t is a very important skill to know. $hen !o outsie the bar an an A$E will

 pop up.

+t seems that aku oesn't even care he lost the letter. Dh well, its only Eiko.

Anyway, !o left from the bar entrance. Follow the roa to the towns@uare. o

aroun the ticket booth an north to the castle !ates. $hey are finally open( +n

the ne9t screen, Amarant an Freya stare at each other. $hen both !et into uel

 position an are about to tear their heas off. $he !uars try to stop them, but

they're ust !uars. Finally, iane comes alon! an preserves the peace amon!st

the two of them. iane an Freya will talk about Bua an 5a!!er becomin! a

Gueen. $hen Vivi, with the wie-eye innocence of a chil, will tell iane that

5a!!er shoul want to see him. Amarant will tell iane that he wants to fi!ht

with him soon. + can't wait to beat him a!ain, myself.

 /ow the four of them will form up with iane. 7ou mi!ht notice that Freya is

aroun 24 levels behin you. %he wasn't really !reat from the be!innin!, an we

won't use her in this !ame, so on't sweat it. E@uip Amarant accorin!ly, then

take the boat to the castle. An Ale9anrian %olier will row you there you have

to love the slave status they have now.

Anyway, !o aroun the small fount an north to the bi! castle. ;ust as you are

walkin! in you will see %teiner throw Eiko out in a hilarious scene. Eiko will

then &cry on iane's shouler& an say all the horribly true thin!s that

%teiner sai to her. $hen Amarant says &0e's ri!ht& an it seems %teiner an

Amarant, opposites as they may be, have forme somewhat of a &relationship.&Freya will try to calm own Eiko an %teiner will shout some more at everyone.

$hen Vivi will comman %teiner to show them to the 1rincessGueen, an %teiner 

will a!ree.

arnet til Ale9anros will walk out in her beautiful blue !own. %he looks so

much like rahn- Dh, what the SSSS am + sayin!() %he looks nothin! like

rahne... 5a!!er will speak for a little bit, an everyone will talk about how

 beautiful she looks. iane won't be able to talk to her for some stran!e

reason, an 5a!!er will leave. efore she !ets the chance, however, Eiko runs

over to trae stones. $hey both trae two, an Vivi is astoune by the fact

that iane in't talk to 5a!!er. 0e will continue to say that he ha a whole

fake speech line up, but it woul have ust been a lie.

Eiko will be at the ocks, an + think she finally !ot it throu!h her thick 

skull that iane isn't intereste in her in the least. %he mourns a little

more, an as she is about to leave hies because she thinks iane is comin!.

$hen lank an Marcus come. +t seems that lank !ot the love letter too( $his

letter is bein! abuse by everyone... first Eiko, then eatri9, an now lank(

$his is ust... !ettin! to look better an better as time !oes on. lank will

talk a little, then Marcus says someone's comin! an they ecie to hie. lank 

rops the letter, however. $hen %teiner trots over you coul hear him in his

tin armor from a mile away. 0e is &ti!htenin! security& a!ain. 0e sees the

letter on the !roun. 0e picks it up, an thinks it is for himself. $hen eatri9

comes over from behin him. $hey are about to kiss when aku comes alon!( /ow

everyone hates him for ruinin! potentially one of the best non-FMVs in the !ame(

0e totally ruine it...

We !o back to the bar. Freya, Vivi, an Amarant talk a little about where iane

coul be. As Vivi is !oin! to leave to look for him, Eiko bumps into him. %he

isn't in a very !oo moo, an it seems she is !oin! upstairs to cry. $hen

5octor $ot comes in an asks for Eiko. Eiko leaps own, an the two !et to

talkin! a little. 5octor $ot wants to know more about Eiko Eiko wants to !o to

5octor $ot's house, locate in $reno. $hen iane walks in an with his &+'m

comin! with you& %tar Wars line, he says that he wants to !o to $reno for a cartournament. $hen everyone ecies to !o to $reno, besies 5a!!er an %teiner of

Eiolon. Was this what rahne was after...)

Bua will call his eye to come. +t seems like it is about to take Ale9aner,

 ust like it i ahamut. $hen we see the insies of the eye. +t turns out that

the eye is a ship( A man with a black cape will be talkin! about Bua. 0e will

say that Bua has efie him. $he mystery man will say that he has !iven Bua

freeom on aia, but he broke a rule. $hen he says that the same is for iane.

  /D$ 107%+*A==7 A$$A*B 0+M( 0e will close his book an you will be

  back to ook Form. All you can o is use ma!ic here. $antarian will

  use 1oison in this sta!e only. After you have inflicte enou!h

  ama!e on him a!ain, he will return to ook Form. $his is a pattern

  which you must !o throu!h a couple times before he is efeate.

Attacks: ook Form

-------- ---------

  S E!e is a physical attack that he oes normally in ook Form. +t

  will o aroun 344 ama!e to one character. $his can easily be

  countere with Auto-1otion or Freya healin!.

  S 1aper %torm is a ma!ic attack that he oes in ook Form. +t will

  o aroun 844 ama!e to every character. Auto-1otion can comple-

  letely counter this attack. 0owever, you will have to run out of 

  0i-1otions some ay...

  S $his is not an attack, but he normally looks for *ute Form in

  his book. $his oesn't o any ama!e to you, an actually !ives

  you a turn to attack more often. Dverall, you want to see this.

  *ute Form

  ---------

  S 1oison is the only attack that he will use in *ute Form. +t will

  inflict ama!e an the 1oison %tatus on a character. 7ou will

  nee a character to throw an Antiote to counter this.

 iane: iane is !oin! to be the &star& of your fi!ht. 0e is the all star 

  in your team. With his $hievery %kill, he will be able to inflict

  with $hievery is calculate with this formula: /umber of items

  stolen in !ame S 0alf of your current spee. $his means that if you

  stole 4 times in the !ame an ha 64 spee, you woul o 44

  ama!e. $he reason for this is because 4 S 646 K 44. 7our 

  $hievery skill will vary with your current statistics. $his is why

  it is A%D=L$E=7 V+$A= that you stole normally in the !ame. Fifty

  times mi!ht seem like a lot, but it really isn't. 7ou have !one

  throu!h three iscs, an you probably stole a lot in isc one.

  7our current spee shoul be aroun 68, so you will be inflictin! a

  lot of ama!e on $antarian. $his is almost a bu! in the !ame,

  because you shoul only be able to inflict aroun 4 ama!e on

  $antarian every turn. With this, you will be able to o aroun I4

  ama!e every turn( When you run low on M1, have Amarant use the

  *hakra skill on you "%ee: Amarant's 5uty#. $his is basically all

  iane is !oin! to o in this fi!ht.

Amarant: Amarant shoul have the *hakra ability e@uippe. $his will be use

  to heal iane's M1 urin! this battle. Amarant's uty is to o

  this, an to heal the party. $his is his main role. 0e also can phy-

  sically attack if he has an open turn. 0owever, you mi!ht want to

  ust put him on stanby with trian!le.

  Vivi: Vivi is to also heal. $his is only in ook Form, however. +n *ute

  Form, he is to use io until the cows come home. $his will to a ton

  of ama!e on $antarian. +t makes the fi!ht !o by a lot @uicker once

  $antarian !oes into *ute Form. esies this, if Vivi has an open

  slot in ook Form, you can have him efen, or waste M1 by usin!

  Ma!ic on him.

  Freya: Freya is also a full time healer in this battle. 0owever, when an

  open turn in ook Form arrives, you can have her use ;ump or =ancer.

  +n *ute Form, she is to abuse =ancer until her M1 runs out. $hen

  Amarant is to use *hakra to heal her M1 ri!ht back up.

information because /umber 6JJ oesn't want to betray his friens.

Follow him to the *hocobo %hack. acktrack to the entrance, then take the

northeastern path. Vivi will knock on the oor, an a lack Ma!e will say, &+t's

Bua's palace is on the eastern sie of this continent, in the san. $hen wewill see Eiko an 5a!!er talk a little, an everyone will form up. 5on't worry,

 /ow, !o over to the eastern sie of the continent. 7ou will see a lon! isle with

all shores. 5isembark, an you shoul see four san holes ea north. $his is

the tou!h part. Dne of them leas to Bua's palace, the other three lea to a

fi!ht with an Antlion. First, choose the most northern of the four. +f you on't

know which one is more north, ust look at the map. $hen, if you fou!ht an

Antlion, choose the one that oesn't have san puffin! out of it every few

secons. 7ou shoul be able to see this if you look at everyone closely. + ha

to fi!ht the Antlion once before + !ot in an cau!ht onto what to look for. 7ou

 probably fou!ht the Antlion once or twice before you !ot in. 0e is very tou!h

he has this attack calle %anstorm that will brin! everyone's 01 to critical

sta!e. $his completely sucks. 0ave Eiko heal while the other three have at him.

0eal arkness if it !ets onto you. 0e also has counterhorn, which oes aroun

344 ama!e. +t's ealy, so on't attack unless you have more then 344 01. +t's

a fairly tou!h fi!ht, an the e9perience sucks. When you fin the ri!ht hole,

you will fin that the screen will fae instea of fi!htin! an Antlion.

7ou will see iane an *i both insie a small cell. After some conversation,

Bua will come on an intercom an start to talk to you. 7ou will then !et to

choose from &+ on't have a choice(& an &/ever(& *hoose whichever you like, it

will en in not havin! a choice. +f you choose never, Bua will open the lava

 pit a little more. /o bi! eal, eh) Anyway, after you have no choice you will

walk out of the cell.

After *i an iane converse a little, you will have control of iane. +f you

!o aroun the perimeter of the area all you will fin is your other party

members locke insie cells. %o, !o own the bri!e-like path in the mile. 7ou

will meet up with a circle platform an two lack Ma!es. Bua will tell you to

fancy room. Walk east about halfway own an you will have a little chat with

Bua.

iane will be his crabby self, especially in front of Bua, but he will finally

snap out of it. Bua wants you to !o to a place calle Deilvert an retrieve a

ulu! %tone there. 0e says that the place has an anti-ma!ic barrier, so he can't

!o insie. asically, he says he's a cowar that relies on ma!ic. $hen he asks

you to choose three other party members to help you on this trip. %ince you

cannot use ma!ic in the place, you will have to rely on physical attacks. $his

is why + ha you choose iane, Amarant, %teiner, an Eiko before. 0owever, Eiko

will be more then useless insie Deilvert. 5a!!er, Vivi, an Eiko will all be

completely useless characters insie Deilvert, unless someone has the *hemist

ability an you have a lot of 0i-1otions. Freya shoul be at an e9tremely low

level now. "Aroun 2J.# 0er level is so low that you almost have to pick Guina.

%he can still use lue Ma!ic insie Deilvert, coincientally enou!h.

0e will summon them, an they will be transporte to where iane an Bua are.

$hen iane will walk on the teleport platform an they will teleport off. 7ou

woul think that ri!ht now, with iane's other party members, they woul be

able to estroy Bua. +t's weir how he completely for!ets about &kickin! Bua's

 butt.& /o matter, you will arrive at a stone-like place. E@uip Guina

accorin!ly, then !o up the stairs an over to the west. 7ou mi!ht fi!ht 2-6

monsters alon! the way but you shouln't have any trouble.

After iane amaCin!ly sees the 0ila are +, !o own the stairs an over to

the lack Ma!e by the bri!e !oin! to 0ila. Walk up the bri!eramp an the

0ila are + will fly off. 0ila looks pretty sweet it's a cool blue color. +t

will fly out of the current continent. $hen, iane will try to talk some sense

into the black ma!es, but of course it's to no avail. orn an $horn will comeout an the everyone will chat for a little while. + like iane's analo!y of 

orn an $horn bein! puppets as well "[Q[#. Anyway, it will fly over to the

rotto way back when. $hey were in the an!erous area if you trie to climb the

 blue vines. $hey aren't really a problem. Fira!a is their most ealy attack, so

heal as necessary. 7ou mi!ht notice that the Epitaph has a whole lot of clones(

$he Epitaph is actually easy to efeat, since it is stone-type. ;ust throw a

%oft at it an it will become to soft to live. $his is a !reat place to level up

  an easy fi!ht.

Attacks: S 1hoton is his most powerful attack in this fi!ht. +t will brin!

-------- any characters 01 to 2. $his is a crucial attack. Even if you have

  someone with 644 01 or 44 01 it will always brin! it own to 2.

  $he !oo thin! is he oesn't ten to abuse this often. 7ou mi!ht

  fin it 2-6 times in the whole battle. Auto-1otion an a healer 

  shoul almost make a opposite effect. Df course, this only hits

  one character.

  S Whirlwin is another ealy attack if you on't have everyone with

  Auto-1otion an 0i-1otion. +t will o aroun ?4 ama!e to every-

  one in the party. $his can be evastatin! or easy. +f you have

  what + sai, then it will be heale up before he can even attack 

  a!ain. +f not, you mi!ht fin yourself kickin! the $V.

  S oomeran! mi!ht wreak havoc on a party member if you on't heal.

  +t will o in the vicinity of 84 ama!e to one character. $his

  can be ba if he oes it on a weak character, or a character with-

  out Auto-1otion. +t also can be ba if he uses it after he uses

  1hoton. Dverall, thou!h, you will want to !et hit by this attack 

  as a 0i-1otion will recover all the lost ama!e.

  S 1ropeller Win is probably one of the most annoyin! attacks in the

  whole !ame. +t inflicts the *onfusion status upon all party

  members. $his is very ba. 7ou will see your powerhouse characters

  hittin! an killin! each other. +t's sa to watch your party kill

  each other. With all the power your team has, one hit shoul BD

  one of your party members. $his is why you have to have *lear   0eae e@uippe. +t will put a uar up a!ainst this an rener 

  this attack useless. +f everyone has *lear 0eae, you will want

  to see this attack. +t oesn't o any ama!e, all it oes is try

  to inflict the confusion status. +f you on't have *lear 0eae,

  this can be a potentially !ame estroyin! attack. =ike + sai, it

  will make everyone attack each other. $he only way to counter it

  is if someone oesn't !et hit with it an heals everyone. $his

  will take it's toll with all the turns waste, thou!h.

*haracter 5uties:

-----------------

 iane: As you mi!ht have notice, Ark has some of the best items to steal in

  the entire !ame. Well, ust one item. "0oly =ance.# $his is a powerful

  lance for Freya that has T36 attack. $hat's not the only thin!, how-

  ever, it also has 5ra!on *rest. 5ra!on *rest is a very powerful abili-

  ty for Freya that will make your life a lot easier. $he only thin! is

  you have a &ne9t to none& chance of stealin! it. Make sure you have

  anit an Mu! on, so you have a better chance of !ettin! it. 7ou will

  also hit for some ama!e with Mu!. +t really is a har item to !et,

  but worth it. +f you on't want to steal, then have iane stick to

  physically attackin!. 7ou will o less ama!e to the Ark then a

  re!ular enemy. +f your $hievery skill oes more ama!e then have him

  o that. iane is a pure attackerstealer.

Amarant: Amarant is the &star& an all-star of this battle. Even thou!h his

  physical attacks mi!ht not o much ama!e, his throws sure will( $hrow

  the Hisin! %un you collecte before the fi!ht. 7ou will be amaCe by

  how much ama!e it will o. $hen, stick to throwin! 1inwheels or any

  powerful weapon that you mi!ht have more then two of. $he better the

  power on the weapon, the more ama!e it will o when thrown. + woul,

  however, ust stick to 1inwheels as they are somewhat ine9pensive an

  are what Amarant shoul really be throwin!. +f you run out of throwin!

  items, then Amarant shoul be a pure attacker. +f you have an e9tra

  turn with him an on't want to attack, use the *hakra flair. +t will  restore some of a party members 01 an M1. An all-star, he is.

%teiner: %teiner's brutal physical attacks are what is !oin! to make this fi!ht

  !o by fast. Even thou!h the Ark has some maor efense, %teiner still

  pulls throu!h in the clutch an oes some maor ama!e. 7ou will fin

  out that all of his %wor Arts suck, so o not bother to use them.

  %tick to attackin! all the way. 0owever, if he uses 1hoton on you, you

  mi!ht want to use the 5arksie ability. $his will restore all the 01

  you hit the Ark with. 5arksie will make the Ark hittin! %teiner a

  complete an utter oke.

  Guina: $his is the last person you QshoulQ have in this battle. Guina is

  basically the healer of the battle. %he is responsible for the

  healin! of every character. 0i-1otions are a must, even thou!h she

  oesn't have *hemist. + also avise that you !ive at least Guina *lear 

  0eae, so she can heal everyone. +f you fin a open slot for Guina

  to attack, you will fin out that you cannot use lue Ma!ic. "Even

  thou!h you can use Flairs.# + woul avise you woul ust pass Guina's

  turn an wait until someone !ets some ama!e inflicte on them. +f you

  o not want to wait, then ust physically attack Ark.

  Freya: $his is the last person you QshoulQ have in this battle. Freya is

  basically the healer of the battle. %he is responsible for the healin!

  of every character. 0i-1otions are a must, an she really shoul

  have *hemist. + also avise that you !ive at least Freya *lear 0eae,

  so she can heal everyone. +f you fin a open slot for Freya to

  attack, you will fin out that you cannot use 5ra!on %kills. "Even

  thou!h you can use Flairs.# + woul avise you woul ust pass Freya's

  turn an wait until someone !ets some ama!e inflicte on them. +f you

  o not want to wait, then ust physically attack Ark. 5o not, +

  repeat: 5o not ;ump in this battle. 7ou will have to waste a turn with

sometimes irre!ular at best. %ometimes he mi!ht look back @uickly, an sometimes

slowly. +t all epens on how well you i last time. +f he almost saw movement,

then he will !o back @uickly. +f he in't, then you can !et four-five D's in.

+t all epens on how well you can o it. + su!!est that you !o slowly, an try

  person in your party. $hen any attack that he throws at you will be

  thrown back(

  Vivi: Vivi has one of the most important roles in this party. 0e is the main

  attacker. After someone has Heflect up, have him cast Water on him.

  +t will bounce off of them an hit Valia 1ira. Water oes maor am-

  a!e Even more then the 'ra's. 7ou will fin out that Vivi can take

  a serious chunk of his 01 away in one blow. ;ust remember not to

  use Ma!ic on Valia 1ira irectly if he has Heflect up. +f he runs out

  craCy. %he is a !oo backup healer, also. 0ave her throw 0i-1otions

  with her *hemist ability for >44 ama!e heale(

 5a!!er: 5a!!er's role in this fi!ht is simple. 0er main focus in the be!innin!

  is to actually cast Heflect on everyone in the party. $hen, have her 

  be summonin! =eviathan. $his will o maor ama!e to Valia 1ira( %he

  shoul recast it until her M1 runs out. =eviathan rarely misses so

  on't worry about that. 5a!!er is also a parttime healer when the

  party !ets on E. Dh, an before we continue, let us aress her con-

  centration failure. %ometimes, she will not attack because of the

  tra!eies that have happene in her life. "Dbviously.# %o she really

Amarant: Amarant's role in this battle is similar to what it will be in any

  other boss fi!ht you mi!ht have him in. $his role is to throw Hisin!

  %uns an 1inwheels until the cows come home. 7ou will be amaCe by the

  ama!e that he will o with these. Even if you in't !et the loo

  %tones it will o a lot of ama!e. +f you are out of them, then have

  him attack physically.

%teiner: 7ou shoul of ha %teiner !o with you to Deilvert( +f you in't, then

  +'ll tell you his role. +t's very simple. Attack. 0e oes maor ama!e

  every hit. +f he !ets low on 01 have him use 5arksie to restore his

  01. All the ama!e he oes to the enemy will absorb into his health

  an thus make him very healthy.

  Guina: 7ou in't really leave Guina... i you) +f you i, then she will

  have to heal urin! this fi!ht. 7ou won't have 2,444 neeles so she

  she won't have any real attack in this fi!ht. All she will o is

  heal everyone. Attack with Guina if you have a free turn.

From the !et !o, ecie to !o west at the fork. 7ou will be in a two-story house

complete with its own laer. Dn floor one, !o own to the southeastern corner 

of the room an pick up the il. +t shoul be aroun 24,444 il, + am for!etful.

Afterwars, !o up the laer an !et the Ether near the rubble. $hen !o back

Mo!net, an tent if you are low on 01. o irectly opposite of the moo!le, to

the southeastern corner of the room, an pick up the Win E!e.

 /ow take the oorway to the east. Follow this path until you reach the en.

*ollect the aia ear, an then !o back to the well's rope an the fork. efore

you o so, e@uip everyone with ol *hokers so Win ama!e is reuce by 4Z.

0alfway back you are force to fi!ht a battle with two He 5ra!ons. $hese

5ra!ons are very tou!h if you in't heal up beforehan, or on't know how to

fi!ht them. First off, they have a weakness to +ce. Abuse this by havin! Vivi

cast liCCa!a on them for aroun 444 ama!e. Amarant can finish the one that

Vivi !ot with a Hisin! %un, or he can attack with iane. $hey both have aroun

I444 01, which is not too shabby. %teiner shoul ust attack. $hey cast some ba

moves like $wister an Win. $hey o a lot of ama!e, especially $wister. Beep

on your A !ame at all times Hemember, there is a moo!le that you will see to

tent momentarily. Also, if you !ot an Dcta!on Ho for Vivi, you cannot lose this

 battle. Vivi will absorb all the win ama!e the He 5ra!ons can muster.

After the fi!ht, remember to e@uip your re!ular a-ons back on. $hen walk back 

to the moo!le an save the !ame. Also, $ent as neee. Heturn to the fork with

the well an the rope. /e9t, take the left path. Follow it until you reach a

small house. =ook aroun for a treasure chest, it shoul be close to theentrance. 7ou will receive a 5emon's Mail when you fin it. 5on't e@uip this on

%teiner because it will brin! own your ma!ic statistic. All we fi!ht in this

 place are ma!ic enemies, so there is no nee to make your ma!ic efense lower.

$hen !o back outsie the house.

A little north of it you shoul see a oor. Enter an you shoul see a moo!le on

a secon floor. *limb the stairs an save at the moo!le. 7ou can also buy

meical items if you are runnin! low on them. At this time you shoul be, those

amn enemies shoul be suckin! up all your 0i-1otions like Atomos an =inblum.

After you are one buyin! items, !o up the stairs ne9t to the moo!le. After 

this, walk over to another house. 7ou will see a treasure chest own the room.

When you !o halfway own, you will fi!ht more He 5ra!ons. $his fi!ht isn't one

 bit harer then the previous battle. 0ow many He 5ra!ons you fi!ht in this

 battle varies. + fou!ht one so it was fairly easy. Lse the same strate!y as the

last one above.

After the fi!ht, !o own the room an !et the Eli9ir in the chest. $hen !o all

the way back to the well an rope. 7ou mi!ht want to save at the moo!le, also.

Dnce you reach the well, you mi!ht notice a lever ne9t to it. 1ull it 5DW/ three

times. /ot up, min you. Dn the thir time a rope will !o own to the bottom of 

this hell. ;ump on it, an slie own iane-style. Dnce you reach the bottom,

circle aroun the room once an another He 5ra!on will fi!ht you. $his is

 probably the tou!hest of the three fi!hts simply because two He 5ra!ons attack 

you instea of one. 7ou mi!ht have fou!ht two before, but there is no way out of 

it now. 7ou know how to kill these little bu!!ers easily, thou!h.

After the battle, !o throu!h the open wall that the He 5ra!on mae. $he !ame

will take over from there. +t seems Bua si!ne orn an $horn from the Free

A!ent =ist for one purpose: $o e9tract the eiolons from Eiko. $he party will

see this, an 5a!!er will try to rescue her but iane stops her. We all know of 

what they are oin! unless you were asleep in isc two. We fin out that Eiko

has to be 23 for this e9traction thin! to work without a hitch. +f they

continue, we mi!ht lose a cryin! little si9-year-ol(

Bua will e9plain the situation to orn an $horn. arlan is makin! a &plan&

that will make his soul not his. + think that means he will ie. Anyway, he

nees a powerful eiolon to estroy arlan 0is own power fails in comparison.

0e will eman that orn an $horn shut up "repeately# an continue the

e9traction process. efore they have a chance Mo! will ump out an !et in their

way. 0e will talk to Eiko, an she will wake up( $hen we see Mo! communicatin!

to Eiko. 0e says !oobye. $hen we see iane racin! own to !et Eiko. Eiko will

fi!ht orn an $horn. Mo! will tell her to summon Maeen. %he will, an it will

tear throu!h orn an $horn. $hen we fin out that Mo! is an eiolon( We !et a

Hibbon, a priCe a on that can allow Eiko to summon Maeen( Bua will come

  an look hieous oin! it. When you be!in, you will notice that Vivi

  has been replace with Eiko. $his is not !oo, since Vivi's attacks

  are a lot better then Eiko's. 0owever, Eiko will keep your party

  in tip top shape with *ura so it's not a very ba traeoff. +n the

  be!innin! of the fi!ht, Melti!emini tens to cast Venom on everyone.

  $his is awful because it will take away aroun 644 ama!e every

  sin!le turn. $hese turns inclue when you attack, he attacks, an

  Auto-1otion turns. %o, you coul fin some of your characters ea

  ust because of Auto-1otion( $his is why you have to have a !oo

  supply of Antiotes. Eiko can cure this poison with them. +f you

  have the recommene party then this fi!ht will !o by a lot easier 

  because they shoul have tons of 01. Melti!emini was a meium boss

  for me, mainly because + was at a healthy level 84. + on't e9pect

  you to be here +t took me a lot of fi!hts to scout the past couple

  Hisin! %uns. 0owever, if he abuses Venom 1ower you mi!ht fin your-

  self restartin! the !ame.

Attacks: S Venom 1ower is the tou!hest attack in his arsenal. +t will o

-------- aroun 44 ama!e to one character an inflict the Venom status

  upon that character. $his mi!ht not seem ba, the 44 ama!e, that

  is, but it is more about the Venom status. %ee, Venom is a very

  stron! poison that will not only take own your 01 an M1 abusive-

  ly but will also isallow the character to attack. $his means that

  you cannot control the character for the rest of the battle. $his

  completely sucks. 0e tens not to abuse this, but + saw it twice

  in the battle. +t is very, very, VEH7 ba to have Venom. +t never 

  misses, either. Dverall, this is Melti!emini's worst an most

  powerful attack.

  S Viral %moke takes the secon spot in Melti!emini's ba! of tricks.

  $he reason why it takes the secon spot is because it is a party

  attack. +t will hit the whole party for aroun 44 ama!e each.

  $his really is not that ba if you have Auto-1otion with 0i-

  1otions but + know that most of you still probably on't. +f you

  o not, it can be ba because 44 ama!e is A =D$ of ama!e for 

  Eiko to take. Also, it !ives you a virus. $his virus will allow

  you not to !et the 22 A1 at the en of the fi!ht. $his is really

  no bi! eal because you can !et the A1 some other less crucial

  time. =astly, he oes this attack a lot.

  S io takes the thir spot an it is actually a pretty !oo spell.

  +t will o aroun 44 ama!e to one character an !ive them the

  1oison status. $his will tick away aroun 644 ama!e per turn.

  y turn, + mean every time you take a turn an the enemy takes a

  turn. $his inclues Auto-1otion time. %o every time the party oes

  Auto-1otion from Viral %moke it will take away J44 ama!e. $hat

  is ust awful so have someone throw a Antiote to heal this very

  ba status effect. +f you on't have any, then ust have Eiko use

  her turns to heal you.

  S Win! is probably the worst attack in Multi!emini's arsenal. +t

  oesn't inflict any status effects or anythin!, which is a maor 

  plus. +t also oesn't hit the party( 7ou mi!ht be umpin! up an

  own now. + woul also. +t oes aroun 344 ama!e to 5a!!er, Eiko,

  or Guina an 44 ama!e to iane, Amarant, Freya, or %teiner.

  $his is the attack that you will want to see urin! battle. Even

  if it hits Eiko, it is a lot worse then the other three attack he

  has. +t can easily be heale by *ura or Auto-1otion. $he sa part

  is that in my fi!ht + only saw this attack twice.

 iane: iane's not an all-star in this fi!ht, ust a stealin! avocate. +f 

  you care to take a look at the items that Multi!emini has, you will

  see that they are very !oo items. 5emon's Mail is an avance armor

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-fantasy-ix-walktrough 197/288

  piece for %teinerFreya. $he olen 0airpin is an avance hea armor 

  piece for everyone e9cept %teiner an Freya. $he olen 0airpin is

  e9tremely valuable because it has Auto-He!en. 7ou will use Auto-He!en

  throu!hout the entire !ame so it is very !oo to learn it when you

  on't have that many abilities to learn. Whereas if you learn it

  before you fi!ht the last battle, you will have 24-64 other abilities

  that you will nee. Auto-He!en will keep you in a lot of battles, an

  is probably the best combo in the !ame when combine with Auto-1otion.

  +'m babblin! way too much about Auto-He!en. Anyway, iane shouln't

  have that har of a time stealin! all of the items Multi!emini has to

  offer unless you on't have anit e@uippe. 7ou very well shoul by

  now( 7ou coul of learne it at the be!innin! of the !ame an in the

  last e@uipment shop. +t ha a piece of e@uipment that ha the anit

  ability. At any rate, after you are one stealin! all the items stick 

  to physically attackin! the beast.

Amarant: Amarant, yet a!ain, is your all-star. 0e is turnin! into a full-time

  but not full-blown hero. 0ave him throw Hisin! %uns at Multi!emini. +t

  will o aroun 644 ama!e each turn( $his is pretty spectacular con-

  sierin! his re!ular attacks o aroun 2444 ama!e. $his is why + tol

  you to !et 24 Hisin! %uns 24 will kill Multi!emini's health. +f you

  o not have any Hisin! %uns, use the Win E!e you !ot. Afterwars,

  stick to physically attackin!.

%teiner: %teiner's role, as you all may know by now, is to attack. 0is attacks

  will o a lot of ama!e, aroun 6444 to be e9act. As you can see, if 

  you are anywhere near the proecte level this fi!ht really is not

  that har. %ince %teiner oes not have Vivi in the party, he cannot

  use his hi!hly acclaime ma!ic swor abilities. +f %teiner !ets low  on 01 have him use 5arksie. As we all know, his health shoul be up

  an runnin! a!ain after he uses it.

  Eiko: Eiko, who you actually have to have in the party, is actually pretty

  !oo. 7ou won't be able to use Maeen in this fi!ht because you have

Page 198: Final Fantasy Ix Walktrough

7/25/2019 Final Fantasy Ix Walktrough

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-fantasy-ix-walktrough 198/288

  not ha a chance to e@uip it. $his oesn't mean 1hoeni9 or Fenrir 

  won't o some ama!e. $hey will both o aroun 2444 ama!e. + hi!hly

  avise that you have 1hoeni9. +t is !oo to have this eiolon because

  it heals everyone in your party. Anyway, onto Eiko's fullblown uty.

  $his uty is simple 0eal. *ura an *ure are always your best friens.

  Lse 0i-1otions if you want to use your ma!ic pruently. Eiko can also

  cast Heflect an %hell an whatnot on the party if you want to. =ast,

  it is Eiko's ob to throw a Antiote an Hemey at the people who

  have Venom1oison. $hese are two very powerful attacks, so on't take

  Eiko's ob li!htly. 7ou woul probably want to have Eiko hol by

  pressin! trian!le until someone !ets inflicte with these status eff-

  ects. Also, if you by-happen to chance have Mini keep tryin! to

  inflict it on Mutli!emini until it sticks. $his will make him

  lau!hable. 0owever, + o not e9pect that you have it. 7ou will not

  have ha time to e@uip it beforehan. $his is Eiko's role.

  Vivi: Vivi cannot be in this fi!ht. 0e ran after Bua.

 5a!!er: 5a!!er's role is e9actly the same as Eiko's. $he only thin! is that

  she loses concentration, so you mi!ht fin yourself not !ettin! heale

  an yin!. $his is why + stron!ly isprove of havin! 5a!!er at this

  time in the !ame. %he is not reliable in the least. Also, 5a!!er can

  can Heflect to bounce back some of Multi!emini's attacks. Multi!emini

  has a weakness to Mini. $his is e9traorinary, consierin! that most

  bosses "especially !oo ones# have uars towars all of the status

0ila an *i will be alone in the $hrone room. 0ila knows a lot about what

Bua plans to o, it seems he spille his !uts out to her because he ha no one

to talk to. Well, between the shy black ma!es an orn an $horn talkin! like

nincompoops, + woul think the only reliable person he actually coul talk to is

0ila. +t ust oesn't make any sense, thou!h. Why woul he leave her there) At

any rate, 0ila still is a hater to *i for bein! a skirt-chasin! fro!. *i will

 be! 0ila to turn him back, an it seems she oesn't think he is tellin! the

truth. After a mutually beneficial a!reement, 0ila ecies to turn him back.

%he kisses him, an we see *i's former former self. 0e actually looks... !oo.

$hen he says &wok& an &Hibbit.& 0e's so hilarious. 0owever, + i like him

 better as a fro! an o!lop.

iane finishes his... fantasy about 5a!!er. A %olier wakes him up, an he

 proves my suspicion by talkin! about the ream a little more. /ow, walk over to

the moo!le in the northwestern part of the room. $alk about Mo!net an save the

!ame. $hen !o over to the lift. 7ou shoul know where it is. 7ou have only been

iane still oesn't have any manners an *i still has the brain of a fro!.

He!ent *i says that he nees to continue the construction of another 0ila

are, an leaves. 0ila takes over. %he says that Bua is not from this planet.

$his planet is aia, while Bua calls his birthplace $erra. $his comes as a

shock to everyone. + !uess Bua neee a psycholo!ist an 0ila was the best he

!ot. We have an A$E of $antalus an %teiner. %teiner says that 5a!!er is missin!an aku tells his men to !o lookin! for her. + think %teiner finally sees the

li!ht at the en of the tunnel( +t's only been aroun 64 years since they

capture the princess. "With He!ent *i's orers, mi!ht + a.#

ack to the conference room, 0ila says that the only way to !et to $erra is

throu!h %himmerin! +slans somehow. Bua sai that you nee to break a seal to

make it so you can !et to $erra from the %himmerin! +slans, however. 0ila

talks about a castle in the For!otten *ontinent where you mi!ht be able to break 

the seal. $he !roup ecies to call the castle +spen's *astle, after the famous

e9plorer. $hen we !o to *i. All the workers fin out that *i is a human a!ain(

*i says that they will use the parts of the lue /arciss for the hull, an that

he has a blueprint in his hea. With him human a!ain, this airship shoul be

one in no time(

0ila will finish talkin! about +spen's *astle. $here mi!ht be somethin! there

to break the seal so we can !o to $erra. Everyone ecies to !o but they are

stoppe by havin! no means of transportation to !et there. Amarant says that

even if they !ot there Bua is still more powerful then the party. An with

that, %teiner runs in an tells everyone the ba news. $he princess is still

missin!, even after the e9perts looke for her( iane says that he knows where

she is, an runs out to look for her without sayin! anythin!.

1arty: iane "86#, Vivi "86#, %teiner "86#, Eiko "?#

5ifficulty: Easy

1reparation: S All characters must be at least at level 84 with e9ception to

------------ Eiko, who shoul be at level ?. "+ was at 86 because of the

  mistakes + mae in the previous areas. + ha to fi!ht a lot

  of monsters.#

  S Every character must have Auto-1otion with 0i-1otions. $his

  shoul !o without sayin!.

  S Vivi shoul have the lack Hobe so he can use Flare.

  S Eiko shoul have a 1hoeni9 1inion e@uippe. "For 1hoeni9.#

  S +ce absorbin!efenin! e@uipment will make this fi!ht sa.

  S Everyone shoul be e@uippe with their weakest weapons an

  stron!est armora-ons.

Dverview: $his is a pretty easy boss fi!ht. Why) $aharka oesn't have any

--------- attacks in his arsenal that are very !oo. 0e oesn't have any !oo

  status effects that kill players, either. 7our characters shoul be

  more avance then he is, so it shoul be easy. $aharka's efenses  to physical attacks are pretty hi!h, almost like the Ark. 7ou will

  still o a !oo amount of ama!e with physical attacks, however. 0e

  has a tenency to *url up. When he oes, physical attacks on't o

  much ama!e. +t's like you are Mini'. 0e usually uses liCCa!a, but

  it is really no bi! eal. ;ust thir level ma!ic. 7ou mi!ht want

  to e@uip +ce absorbin!efenin! e@uipment before the battle.

  $here's nothin! @uite like havin! him heal you every other turn. 7ou

  also mi!ht want to consier e@uippin! the Heflect ability. $his will

  bounce liCCa!a back at him.

Attacks: S *url is not really an &attack,& but yet it is the worst thin! he

-------- can o. %ee, *url is like bein! Mini' with physical ama!e. 7our 

  attacks o aroun 84 ama!e. 0e mi!ht *url for a couple turns, so

  you can either efen, heal up, or fi!ht when he oes this. 0e

  cannot attack you while he is *urle. 0e uses this from time to

  time in battle, usually when you abuse his 01 a little.

  S *hop is his secon best attack, an that's for one reason. What's

  the reason) Well, even thou!h *hop is physical ama!e, it will o

  a lot of ama!e. 0e uses this rarely, however. +t only hits one

  person, also. +f it hit the whole party this battle mi!ht be a

  little tou!her. All in all, *hop is a powerful attack but ust not

  @uite at your level.

  S Ham is a physical attack like *hop but it hits for less. $his is

  his weakest physical attack. +t only hits one character for aroun

  44 ama!e. 0e uses this every once in a while, but on't fret

  if you on't even see it in the fi!ht. Ham is a pretty pathetic

  attack. Maybe if they mae it so it woul hit all the characters

  it woul be better. +t is ust nothin! ri!ht now, thou!h.

  S liCCa!a is his only ma!ic spell. +t is thir level ma!ic, an it

  oes aroun 44 ama!e to one character. +f you e@uippe +ce

  absorb armor, it will !ive you 44 01 when he oes this attack(  $his is very !oo, because he uses this attack A =D$. +f you !et

  4Z reuction to ice armor then it will only o aroun 64 ama!e.

  +n my fi!ht + ha Heflect on two people in the party. $aharka

  wante to hit those two characters with liCCa!a throu!hout the

  entire fi!ht, an every sin!le time it backfire on him(

*haracter 5uties:

-----------------

 iane: + think we all know iane's role in this battle: %teal, %teal, an

  %teal( $he Drichalcon is one of iane's best weapons in the entire

  !ame. +t is worth while to !et it now. $his item has TI2 power but

  saly has the etect ability. +t is efinitely worth it to !et this.

  +t shoul be a lot easier with Master $hief, anit, an Mu!. $hese

  three skills will make stealin! it %D much easier. iane's sole

  purpose in this battle is to steal until you !et it. An Eli9ir is also

  very !oo, an you will probably !et that before you !et the a!!er.

  After you have both of those items, iane can stick too physically

  attackin! $aharka. 7ou mi!ht now be sayin! &What()& an the reason

  for this is because even thou!h he has hi!h efenses, iane will

  still mana!e to o aroun J44 ama!e. When he uses *url, have iane

  use his $hievery skill. $his will o a lot of ama!e on him if you

  have stolen a lot throu!hout the !ame. Also use $hievery if it oes

  more ama!e then your physical attacks after he uncurls.

  Vivi: Vivi is the all-star of this fi!ht( 0ave him cast Flare repeately on

  $aharka. $his will o aroun 444 ama!e( Flare is truly a wonerful

  attack that will save you from a har battle. +t costs 84 M1 for each

  usa!e, so you shoul be able to use it aroun times. Flare is a

  truly wonerful attack in this fi!ht. +f you on't have Flare then use

  Fira!a, or somethin! else. +t won't o as much ama!e but alas, it is

  a substitution( After Vivi runs out of ma!ic, he can efen an what-

  not. 0ave him heal people up an thin!s like that. Also, you mi!ht

  want to cast %low on him to slow $aharka's attacks own.

%teiner: + foun that when my %teiner attacke he only i 84 ama!e. $his was

  with Flare %wor( $his mi!ht ust be a fluke for me or somethin!. +f 

  it is the case for you, then %teiner shoul stick to physically att-

  ackin!. Even thou!h the enemy has hi!h efense, %teiner will still

  Heis' Win if thin!s start to !et sticky. $his will cast He!en on the

  whole party.

  Guina: Guina is actually a pretty soli choice. %he can use Earth@uake,

  White Win, 2,444 /eeles, an Mi!hty uar. Earth@uake is a pretty

  !oo attack a!ainst $aharka, as it is stron! lue Ma!ic. White

  Win is !oo if you fin yourself in a ba situation. +t will recover 

  the party's health by a lot. 2,444 neeles is by far one of she's

  best attacks, as it will always o 2444 ama!e. $his attack is com-

  pletely reliable, never misses, an oesn't cost much lue Ma!ic.

  Mi!hty uar will lower his efenses, but it costs a lot of M1 for 

  what it is worth. Also, if you fin Guina low on 01 use 1umpkin 0ea

  for some @uick, reliable ama!e. 7ou in't for!et about it, i you)

  +t oes Guina's full 01 minus Guina's current 01. Dnly use it if you

  are low on 01.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fi!ht, $aharka will chant his two last sentences. &All is one, one is

all. 7ou'll never break the seal.& /ow it's time to !o all the way to the

entrance. 7ou shoul know how to !et back there. + won't say so, because it is

minless backtrackin!. When you !o up the pole Vivi will almost fall in a trap

oor. iane is happy that Vivi is all ri!ht. *ontinue onwar to the e9it.

Everyone will !o own the stairs to the other three party members. $hey will

talk about Amarant a little, an it seems that he has never mae it out of the

castle. iane tells everyone to wait here an that he will !et him.

From the !et !o you will have to minlessly !o back to the pole leain! own. o

north from the entrance an you will be in the pole room. o to the eastern siean slie own. iane will hear someone say &Lh...& +s this Amarant) Walk own

a little an Amarant will ask why he came back to !et him. iane will say that

it &!oes a!ainst his nature.& $hen they will make up an he will be back in the

team. From here, !o back to the entrance. Lp the pole, then to the western sie

of the room, an finally south to the outsie.

iane will !ather everyone an tell everyone what he foun. 0e will talk about

the four mirrors, an how they were on four ifferent areas of the map. 0e will

say their clues. $his is somewhat crucial to finin! out e9actly where they are

so listen to them. $hen he says that $aharka's last wors are another clue.

Afterwars, they all hea onto the airship. $hey talk for a little bit an

iane ecies that we shoul split up in twos an !o to every one. Eiko says

that she wants to !o with 5a!!er. A sailor then !ives us some information on the

Water %hrine. $hen you have control of the ship. efore you continue, make sure

that Guina is at a respectable level. %he is !oin! with iane. +f she isn't

anywhere near ?, then try to level it up a bit. $o !et Guina in your party talk 

to the sailor that's not Erin at the wheel eck. $hen we will !o take the

%hrines on. Also make sure you have two Feather oots hany. E@uip them on

iane an Guina before you start up the %hrines.

Water %hrine

!ame to automatically take you there. Dnce you are there, !o aroun the small

continent until you see lava. +t shoul be in a mountain like a volcano. +t's at

the eastern part of the continent. $hen we have a funny FMV where the ship'

en!ine starts to overheat. Amarant is havin! a fit about !oin! with Freya, but

that @uickly subsies when iane asks if he wante to !o with Eiko instea.

$hen they leave for the shrine.

Win %hrine

you will see two vines. o up to them an press D. Vivi an %teiner will be

shown on the ship. %teiner says that the win is not ba but when Vivi comes out

he slowly !ets blown back. %teiner !oes in front of him an he oesn't fall.

iane starts to worry about them. $hen he ecies that he has to eal with his

own problems Guina.

%teiner, however, can be chan!e with Amarant if you like. %teiner is a pretty

  Heis' Win if thin!s start to !et sticky. $his will cast He!en on the

  whole party. Df course, if everyone has Auto-He!en on then there is

  no plausible nee to o it. Freya coul also cast a better 5ra!on

  %kill if she has it. %he mi!ht ust want to heal herself in this

  battle, Amusias tens to !an! up on her. +f he oes that, then you

  mi!ht fin Freya ea. $his oesn't matter much, however.

Amarant: Amarant, yet a!ain, is your all-star. 0e is turnin! into a full-time

will even call him a loner. +ma!ine that, a loner labelin! a loner. iane will

i!nore then, an press onwar. +n the ne9t screen we will see Guina an %teiner

Dverview: + foun this battle to be about your characters' level. +t isn't

--------- nearly as easy as the first battle, but then it isn't very tou!h,

  either. Abaon only has two attacks to be!in with. Dne oes minimal

  ama!e to the party while the other oes a lot of ama!e on one

  character. $he ba part is Abaon is very very very fast. %o he

  mi!ht be able to !et two attacks in before you can even heal. $his

  mi!ht make this fi!ht annoyin!. 0e tens not to abuse his physical

  attacks, however. After you !et aroun a fourth of his 01 taken away

  iane will oin the fi!ht. $hen it will be really easy to estroy

  Abaon. iane an %teiner will o aroun 444 ama!e each, takin!

  make it to about half. $his fi!ht won't last very lon!. + !ive it

Attacks: S 0e has a ma!ic attack "+ for!ot the name# that oes aroun 44

  is pretty ba, consierin! Guina shoul only have aroun 6444 01.

  0e uses this attack often, also. $here is no real way to counter 

  this e9cept to heal, heal, an heal. 7ou mi!ht fin your charact-

  ers ea ust because he abuses this attack. 0e is fast so he

  mi!ht be able to !et two attacks in before Guina or %teiner can

  heal up. +t only attacks one character, however.

*haracter 5uties:

-----------------

 iane: iane comes into the battle pretty late. + on't know why he comes

  in so late, he must be feelin! really ba. Anyway, iane's top pri-

  ority in this fi!ht is to attack. $he items that Abaon has to offer 

  really aren't that !reat, you shoul have all of them by now. $he only

  one that you mi!ht be curios out is the arnet, but you shoul alreay

  have that because eatri9 !ave it to you. $he other two items are

  low items that make no sense to steal. iane shoul o aroun ?444

  ama!e with his attacks in this fi!ht. + on't avise that you use

  $hievery unless pro!ressively better then his attacks.

%teiner: %teiner's role, as you all may know by now, is to attack. 0is attacks

  will o a lot of ama!e, aroun 6444 to be e9act. As you can see, if 

  you are anywhere near the proecte level this fi!ht really is not

  that har. %ince %teiner oes not have Vivi in the party, he cannot

  use his hi!hly acclaime ma!ic swor abilities. +f %teiner !ets low

  on 01 have him use 5arksie. As we all know, his health shoul be up

  an runnin! a!ain after he uses it. 0e shoul also use any better 

  ability that you may have picke up in %ie Guests.

  Guina: Guina is actually a pretty soli character. %he can use Earth@uake,

  White Win, 2,444 neeles, an Mi!hty uar. Earth@uake is a pretty

  !oo attack a!ainst $aharka, as it is stron! lue Ma!ic. White

  Win is !oo if you fin yourself in a ba situation. +t will recover 

  the party's health by a lot. 2,444 neeles is by far one of she's

  best attacks, as it will always o 2444 ama!e. $his attack is com-

  pletely reliable, never misses, an oesn't cost much lue Ma!ic.

  Mi!hty uar will lower his efenses, but it costs a lot of M1 for 

  what it is worth. Also, if you fin Guina low on 01 use 1umpkin 0ea

  for some @uick, reliable ama!e. 7ou in't for!et about it, i you)

  +t oes Guina's full 01 minus Guina's current 01. Dnly use it if you

  are low on 01.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the fi!ht, Guina an %teiner !ive iane reasons to stay an not confront

arlan. Guina says that iane nees to teach himher more about foo, an

%teiner wants to know if iane is the ri!ht man for iane. iane tells them

to leave him alone an then walks off. +n the ne9t room, iane says that they

are all a bunch of babysittin! bastars. $hen he says that he is the worst

 bastar. After this, we encounter another battle.

Dverview: $his fi!ht can be very har if you on't have Auto-1otionAuto-

--------- He!en. %hell 5ra!on has some very mean attacks. Anyway, the battle

  starts off with iane fi!htin! %hell 5ra!on alone. %hell 5ra!on

  will use smash on the thir turn an brin! iane's 01 own to one.

  Dut of nowhere, someone will use *ura!a on iane( $his is 5a!!er(

  Even if 5a!!er in't have *ura!a, she still heals iane complete

  ly. /ow the battle is a lot easier with 5a!!er to heal everyone.

  %hell 5ra!on mi!ht abuse the usa!e of %mash if you hurt him to much.

  $his still can be heale with *ura*ura!a. $his battle really isn't

Attacks: S %nort is %hell 5ra!on's most ealy attack. $hou!h you mi!ht not

-------- see it, if you o you will be throwin! the television out the

  character until the en of the battle, which you mi!ht not even

  !et to. 0e never uses %nort, really, unless you are ultra powerful

  an estroy him in a couple hits. $hen he mi!ht use it, but on't

  worry about it if you are at the proecte level. $here is no way

  to &counter& its effect an it only hits one person. "Dbviously.#

  S %mash woul probably be consiere more ealy then %nort. Why)

  ecause it reuces a characters' 01 to D/E( $his is an insane

  attack that he uses a lot more often then %nort. +t hits one per-

  son an no matter how much 01 they have, it will be reuce to

  one. Auto-1otionAuto-He!en will really come in hany here. 7ou  can have most of your 01 back before your ne9t turn. Also 5a!!er 

  can @uickly heal this away. %hell 5ra!on won't use it at first,

  so on't worry about that. Dverall this is one ealy attack.

  S Earth %hake is a ma!ic spell, which he loves to cast. +t will o

  earth-type ama!e on all characters. $his shoul o aroun 44-

  2444 ama!e, epenin! on the character an their e@uipment. +t

  can be ealy to 5a!!er, because of her low 01, but Auto-1otion

  shoul heal it ri!ht up. 7ou shouln't really worry about this

  attack, but it can be life threatenin!. 7ou mi!ht want to e@uip

  the Feather oots to absorb Earth ama!e. $hat woul mean that

  the attack that he uses most often woul heal you( $his woul

  make the boss such a pushover.

  S *har!e is the weakest attack in his arsenal, but efinitely not

  one to be taken li!htly. +t will o aroun I44 ama!e to one

  character which isn't that ba. 0e oesn't use this attack much

  but it will be a nice finishin! move for him to o after %mash.

  5on't take this attack li!htly an heal all the ama!e you lost.

  Auto-1otion shoul be able to take care of it on its own.

*haracter 5uties:

-----------------

 iane: First off, you mi!ht notice that %hell 5ra!on has nothin! to steal.

  5on't waste turns tryin! to steal stupi stuff like that. $he first

  three turns will be without 5a!!er. $his is fine, thou!h. %hell 5ra!on

  tens to use Earth %hake an *har!e urin! these turns. $hese are very

  weak attacks that Auto-1otion can suck up. ;ust attack physically for 

  three turns. Dn the thir %hell 5ra!on will use %mash. $hen 5a!!er 

  will appear an heal all of your health( /ow you can procee to hack-

  in! away at %hell 5ra!on without havin! to worry about 01. 7ou're at-

  tacks shoul o aroun 644 ama!e. $hat means that after five attacks

  he shoul be ea. /ote that your first three attacks on't count in  his proecte 01 of 2644.

 5a!!er: 5a!!er will appear after the thir turn in savior attempt. %he will

  heal iane's 01 after that malevolent attack calle %mash. /ow that

  you have her, too, you won't have much trouble with this fi!ht. 5a!!er

  shoul be a full-time healer when %mash comes aroun. $he other two

  attacks are really nothin! to worry about. 5a!!er shoul be usin!

  %hiva if she can. %hell 5ra!on is weak verse ice so it will o a lot

  of ama!e. +f you on't have that, then have her use ahamut. 7ou

  very well shoul have one of these. $hey will o aroun 644 ama!e

  each. Df course, if you !ot tons of A@uamarines then use =eviathan.

  5a!!er mi!ht !et eecte, but iane can wrap thin!s up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the short battle 5a!!er will try to knock some sense into iane. $hey

will talk for a bit, an then she will say that she wants to protect him. $hen

 both %teiner an Guina will walk in an say why they want to protect iane.

$hen everyone woners about the other four an ecie to !o back to !et them. We

all form up, an now you have to ecie which way to !o. o ri!ht an throu!h

the oors. *ontinue ri!ht an past another oor. 7ou will see the other four 

members. $hey will talk for a bit, an everyone will ecie to !o !et arlan.

$hen you !et to choose a party. + woul hi!hly avise you choose iane, Vivi,

%teiner, an 5a!!er.

Why) Well, you have to have iane in your party. Amarant is !oo if you have a

!oo supply of Hisin! %uns. $hese will o more then %teiner's attacks. 0owever,

%teiner has Flare %wor, which will o a lot of ama!e. $herefore, it is better 

to have %teiner in your party. 7ou mi!ht want to substitute Amarant for 5a!!er 

if you want a truly offensive party. $his shoul only be one if you have >> 0i-

1otions an every has Auto-He!enAuto-1otion, thou!h. 0owever, 5a!!er will prove

useful with %ilence in the upcomin! battles. /ow, save at the moo!le. 7ou can

also buy stuff at Mo!net here, so if you are runnin! short on supplies ust ask 

him. /ote that it is the same stuff as before, so you have a secon chance to!et some truly !reat stuff.

7ou shoul have everyone besies %teinerFreya with the Auto-1otionAuto-He!en

combo. 7ou can !et Auto-He!en from the olen 0airpin, which any of the other 

si9 characters can e@uip. %teiner can ust use 5arksie if he !ets low on 01. As

level. Dh, i + tell you that you coul save here, as well) $his moo!le is

  S Vivi shoul have the lack Hobe so he can use Flare.

  S 5a!!er shoul have ahamut reay to use.

  S Auto-Heflect on all characters is nice, but not necessary. +f 

  your characters are still learnin! stuff like ahamut an

  such then ust have 5a!!er cast Heflect on everyone.

  S iane mi!ht want to have Master $hief, anit, an Mu!

  e@uippe. $his is only if you think the items are worthwhile.

  S %tron!est weapon an armor is a must in this fi!ht.

  S Win absorbin!efenin! e@uipment will make this fi!ht sa.

Dverview: %ilver 5ra!on is no pushover unless you have playe this !ame a ton

--------- of times like me, then it was easy. %ee, %ilver 5ra!on can be a

  pretty easy or pretty tou!h boss epenin! how lon! you let him

  live. + say this because some people will use ma!ic up the yin yan!

  when fi!htin! him while others will preserve it for the other 

  battles. %ince we are late in the !ame, however, you are allowe to

  abuse usa!e of ma!ic to an e9tent. 7ou shoul have ac@uire enou!h

  Ethers so in the followin! battles you can ust heal your M1 ri!ht

  up. $his makes for easy boss fi!hts Ma!ic completely estroys the

  enemy. Anyway, if you ecie to use ma!ic %ilver 5ra!on will be

  very easy to efeat. 0e only has aroun 68444 01. +f you ecie to

  brin! Win E@uipment alon! then it will be even easier because you

  will absorb a couple of his attacks.

Attacks: S %hockwave is probably the best attack in %ilver 5ra!on's arsenal

-------- ust because it oes a lot of ama!e. 7ou will see aroun 2444

  ama!e to the whole party with this attack( +t can be very ba if 

  you in't take the time to e@uip your abilities correctly. +f 

  you i, however, e@uip Auto-1otion an Auto-He!en this fi!ht will  be very easy. After he oes this everyone will use Auto-1otion an

  !ain all there 01 back with Auto-He!en while they are all Auto-

  S Aerial %lash is win elemental type ama!e so, if you have any

  win! absorbin! e@uipment e@uippe, it will !ive you 01. $his can

  be !oo, especially with Vivi because the Dcta!on Ho has absorb

  versus Win. For the other characters, this mi!ht be a problem.

  Aerial %lash is similar to %hockwave, only it oes less ama!e.

  +t hits the whole party an such. 7ou shoul know how to counter 

  it.

  S *law is %ilver 5ra!on's only physical attack. +t will o aroun

  I4 ama!e to one character. $his attack shoul be the least of 

  your worries for the simple reason that I4 ama!e isn't much.

  0ave your Auto stuff restore the 01, or have 5a!!er heal. 7ou

  won't be seein! this attack often.

  S $wister is a fairly o attack. $he reason for this is because it

  is completely ranom in ama!e. %ometimes it hits for 644 ama!e

  an sometimes 2444 ama!e( +t's sort of like Guina's weapons, only

  it !ets more tenacious if you are oin! better in the fi!ht. When

  + saw this attack two times in the fi!ht. $he first was in the

  be!innin!, an it i 44 ama!e to the party. $he secon was at

  you have at least anit e@uippe. Master $hief woul help a lot,

  also. +t will take a while to !et the Bnucklers as they are the most

  important item. $his coul be very ba if you on't have a !oo heal-

  in! efense. Anyway, after you steal, or ecie not to, iane will

  be left with plain attackin!. 0e shoul be oin! at least 644 ama!e

  each time. +f his $hievery skill is better, use it. M1 oesn't matter 

  because you probably have at least 24 ri!ht now.

  Vivi: + consier Vivi to be a powerful character at this point in the !ame.

  0is ma!ic, in short, is wonerful. Flare will o a terrific amount

  of ama!e to %ilver 5ra!on. 7ou can preserve ma!ic if you want, but +

  on't think you shoul. Flare will take away aroun 23 of his 01

  very easily. +f you are uneasy about usin! Ethers, then use a weaker 

  level ? version spell like Fira!a.

%teiner: %teiner will make this battle lau!hable. Flare %wor oes a ton of 

  ama!e to %ilver 5ra!on. Aroun 444, to be precise. $his is a lot,

  but then Flare costs a whoppin! 34 M1 to use. + woul ust use an

  Ether, but o whatever you esire. Attack if you really want to save

  M1. Also, you mi!ht want to have %teiner have Auto-0aste e@uippe ust

  for a lau!h. 7ou can't !et Auto-He!en up to this point so he actually

  has some ma!ic stones to be covere. Auto-0aste will make him attack 

  pretty fast. [Q[

 5a!!er: 5a!!er won't have much of a ob in this fi!ht. %he shoul really o

  the healin!, but it seems Auto-1otion an Auto-He!en have taken her 

  ob away from her( %he shoul be on stanby, ust in case %ilver 5ra-

  !on's $wister oes an insane amount of ama!e or somethin!. Hather 

  then that, you can have her cast ahamut or some semi-ba eiolon if   you feel like it. With your offense, thou!h, you mi!ht ust want her 

  to waste turns by attackin!.

  Eiko: Eiko is a powerhouse in this battle. %he can use Maeen for aroun

  ?444 ama!e( $his attack will vary sometimes it will o 6444-8444

Page 251: Final Fantasy Ix Walktrough

  ama!e. Maeen is a killer skill, but it has a killer M1 cost. Lse it

  wisely. Also, if you have oost then please o it. +t will make Maeen

  even stron!er( Anyway, onto Eiko's full-blown uty. $his uty is

  simple 0eal. *ura!a an *ura are always your best friens. Lse 0i-

  1otions if you want to use your ma!ic pruently. Eiko can also cast

  Heflect an %hell an whatnot on the party if you want to. Heflect is

  actually very !oo because it some of %ilver 5ra!on's spells an it

  hurts him instea of him absorbin! it.

Amarant: Amarant's role is simple $hrow Hisin! %uns. $hese little thin!s will

  o immense ama!e to %ilver 5ra!on. + tol you to only use Amarant if 

  you ha tons of Hisin! %uns an the reason for this is all Amarant has

  over %teiner is throwin! stuff. %teiner oes have Flare %wor, thou!h,

  which sort of makes up for throwin! stuff. +f Amarant oesn't have

  anythin! to throw then stick to physically attackin! an throwin!

  "not literally# some skills in there if necessary.

  Freya: At this point in time, you shoul have a skill that's better then

  =ancer. + avise that you use it. +'m not upate with Freya so +

  wouln't know. + in't really use Freya that much. Lse Heis' Win

  if everyone oesn't have Auto-He!en. After you run out of M1, stick 

  to ;umpin!.

  Guina: +f you i choose Guina, + hope you substitute she for one of the

  healers or you really will have a tou!h fi!ht( Guina shoul use White

  Win an 0i-1otions to heal people. $hat is Guina's minor priority.

  %he shoul also use 2,444 neeles because it, yet a!ain, is a re-

  liable attack that will always o 2444 ama!e. At this point in time,

  2444 ama!e mi!ht seem like nothin!. 0owever, Guina's attacks really  aren't that hot, an vary !reatly. Guina shoul also use 1umpkin 0ea

  if Guina's 01 !ets low. Finally, Guina mi!ht want to use =imit love

  Dnce you have this own arlan really isn't that !reat. 0e still

  has some pretty powerful attacks, but %ilence took the !uts out of 

  him. After you cast %ilence, you will want to cast Heflect on every

  sin!le party member. $his is so arlan oesn't %top anyone, which

  stinks. 0e also won't use Flare so oy. arlan's 01 mi!ht be a bit

  iscoura!in!, but when you see all the ama!e that your characters

  is pretty much brutal on all of your characters, since they all

  $his is the main reason why Heflect is key in this battle.

  S Dh, arlan oes an attack, + for!ot the name of it... +t is

  &Wave& or &*har!e& or somethin! like that. 0e oes his 5ra!on all

  stance an ma!ically makes an ener!y ball an throws it at one

  character. A complete rip off of 5ra!on all , + know. Anyway,

  this attack only hits one character for aroun 2444 ama!e. +t

  isn't that ba, consierin! 5a!!er can heal it ri!ht up. +t is

  arlan's most ealy attack if you caste Heflect on everyone. +

  avise that you look out for this attack. Dn characters like Vivi

  an 5a!!er it can kill them.

  S 1sychokinesis is, like the name, a psycho weir attack. +t will

  pick a character up an throw them own on there hea. +t souns

  very painful, but it isn't. +t will o aroun I4 ama!e to one

  character. $his shoul almost be pathetic at your point, I4

  ama!e as up, however. +f he oes it I-J times on one character,

  which he oes sometimes, you mi!ht fin yourself in a sticky spot.

  7ou shouln't worry to much about this attack, all in all, but

  look at the characters he oes it on. +f he keeps oin! it on

  one character, then obviously you woul want to *ure them, or 

  possibly cast %hell on them.

*haracter 5uties:

 5a!!er: 5a!!er has a pretty bi! role in this fi!ht, also. +n the be!innin! of 

  the fi!ht, she is to cast Heflect on everyone in the party. $his is

  so arlan's best attacks will be Heflecte, an thereby not be use.

  Dnce you have that taken care of, you will also want to cast %ilence

  an possibly lin of arlan. $hese shoul stick in the first turns

  an make your life a lot easier. /ow arlan is severely weakene, an

  won't be able to use his best attacks. /ow it's time to be a full time

  *ure an *ura, but not *ura!a. +t oesn't matter, you shouln't fin

  your characters neein! that much 01. Lse 0i-1otions instea of *ure

  if you have *hemist e@uippe. =astly, 5a!!er can open a can of worms

  an cast ahamut if you like. $his will o a lot of ama!e to arlan.

  7ou mi!ht want to save 5a!!er's M1 for the last battle, however.

  Vivi: At first, you mi!ht have one minor ob before you have Vivi cast Flare

  up the yin yan!. 7ou mi!ht want to cast %low on arlan. $his will

  slow him own, an he will attack less often. $his mi!ht help, but if 

  you are at the recommene level then + woul ust stick to castin!

  Flare. Vivi will o aroun 444 ama!e on him. $his is really !oo.

  +f you want to be pruent about ma!ic, then switch to Fira!a or any

  of the better '!a's. $hey shoul o at least 8444 ama!e. Vivi shoul

  keep castin! these attacks unless you !et in a sticky situation.

%teiner: %teiner will be suckin! all those precious Ethers that you !ot

  %teiner a Ether ever so often because Flare %wor costs a towerin! 34

  M1. +f you want to be pruent ma!ic-wise, then stick with Fira!a. +t

*haracter 5uties:

-----------------

 iane: We have somewhat of a ilemma here toay, Folks. Bua has some pretty

  !oo armor, but is it worth stealin!) Well, if you are playin! the

  !ame with the cotton robe trick then + woul say yes. $he =i!ht Hobe

  an *arabini Mail are !oo items on their own, an can be sol for 

  a hefty profit. After this, have iane attack the cross resser. 0e

  shoul o aroun ?444 ama!e, which is pretty !oo. 5on't be iscour-

  a!e when Bua says &+s that all you !ot)& because he is all talk.

  iane will unoubtely !et into $rance in this fi!ht. $his is very

  !oo, because he will be able to use ran =ethal. $his shoul o

  >>>> ama!e every turn, an make you want to ump up an own with

  oy. Dh, an use ran =ethal because you have enou!h M1 to kill him

  without Ether usa!e.

  Vivi: 7ou mi!ht be thinkin! that Vivi is out of the ob in this fi!ht, but

  he isn't. 7ou will still want him to cast Flare every sin!le turn, as

  usual. ;ust because Bua will use Flare %tare if everyone casts ma!ic

  oesn't mean everyone is !oin! to cast ma!ic. Flare is Vivi's best

  option here. 0e shoul still be oin! a stron! 444 ama!e. Also, toss

  him an Ether if he !ets low on M1.

%teiner: %teiner cannot an shoul not an will not use ma!ic swor attacks in

  this battle. $he simple reason for this is Bua will !o bonkers an

  cast Flare %tare until you want to kill him. %teiner shoul stick with

  physical attacks. 7ou mi!ht want him to use Flare %wor at the en of 

  the fi!ht to @uickly e9pose of Bua. Also, if %teiner !ets low on 01

  have him use 5arksie. 0e oesn't have hi!h spirit so Auto-He!nen will  not re!enerate as often.

 5a!!er: 5a!!er is really the one that was left out in the col. +f you have

  Auto-Heflect on, which was an absolute !osen in the previous

  battles, it will Heflect ma!ic off of the characters an hit Bua.

Page 260: Final Fantasy Ix Walktrough

  $his is very ba. 7ou wouln't want to heal the boss( 5a!!er shoul

  use 0i-1otions an 1hoeni9 5owns. %he can use *ura=ife on the charac-

  ters that on't have Heflect, however. 5on't have her use ahamut an

  keep her on hol via trian!le so she can be a full time healer. %tatus

  effects on't affect Bua, so on't waste turns with those.

  Eiko: Eiko is a powerhouse in this battle. %he can use Maeen for aroun

  ?444 ama!e( $his attack will vary sometimes it will o 6444-8444

  ama!e. Maeen is a killer skill, but it has a killer M1 cost. Lse it

  wisely. Also, if you have oost then please o it. +t will make Maeen

  even stron!er( Anyway, onto Eiko's full-blown uty. $his uty is

  simple 0eal. *ura!a an *ura are always your best friens. Lse 0i-

  1otions if you want to use your ma!ic pruently. Eiko can also cast

  Heflect an %hell an whatnot on the party if you want to. Heflect is

  actually very !oo because it some of arlan's spells an it

  hurts him instea of him absorbin! it. +n fact, Heflect is absolutely

  neee an you shoul cast it at the be!innin! of the fi!ht.

Amarant: Amarant's role is simple $hrow Hisin! %uns. $hese little thin!s will

  o immense ama!e to %ilver 5ra!on. + tol you to only use Amarant if 

  you ha tons of Hisin! %uns an the reason for this is all Amarant has

  over %teiner is throwin! stuff. %teiner oes have Flare %wor, thou!h,

  which sort of makes up for throwin! stuff. +f Amarant oesn't have

  anythin! to throw then stick to physically attackin! an throwin!

  "not literally# some skills in there if necessary.

  Freya: At this point in time, you shoul have a skill that's better then

  =ancer. + avise that you use it. +'m not upate with Freya so +

  wouln't know. + in't really use Freya that much. Lse Heis' Win  if everyone oesn't have Auto-He!en. After you run out of M1, stick 

  to ;umpin!.

  Guina: +f you i choose Guina, + hope you substitute she for one of the

  healers or you really will have a tou!h fi!ht( Guina shoul use White

Page 261: Final Fantasy Ix Walktrough

7/25/2019 Final Fantasy Ix Walktrough

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-fantasy-ix-walktrough 261/288

  Win an 0i-1otions to heal people. $hat is Guina's minor priority.

  %he shoul also use 2,444 neeles because it, yet a!ain, is a re-

  liable attack that will always o 2444 ama!e. At this point in time,

  2444 ama!e mi!ht seem like nothin!. 0owever, Guina's attacks really

  aren't that hot, an vary !reatly. Guina shoul also use 1umpkin 0ea

  if Guina's 01 !ets low. Finally, Guina mi!ht want to use =imit love

  if you somehow have 2 01.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bua will collapse like arlan, but then it seems he has !otten a $rance. 0is

hair will turn re an he will look stron!er. $his is almost a complete 5ra!on

all rip off( Anyway, Bua will o Lltima an it will, neeless to say, en

the battle. $hen Bua will talk about what he i to !et such a powerful $rance.

+t seems that, even before the moo!le $rance, he knew about what power it ha.

%o he !ot the eye-ball in the sky an took everyone's souls. $hen someone use

it to make his $rance more powerful. Afterwars, Bua will kick arlan off the

cliff in a FF rip off that they i before. 0e will threaten the party, an then

arlan will somehow speak to him. arlan will infuriate Bua, sayin! that he

will ie soon because he is a mortal. $he ironic part about it is that he is

nothin! more then the black ma!es that he create. Bua ust loses it now, an

we see a terrific FMV where Bua starts to estroy all of $erra.

We !o back to the team who has apparently !otten up an are DB. Eiko will say

that the only way out of here is to !et the +nvincible. $he team will !o !et the

+nvincible while iane an 5a!!er ecie to rescue the enomes. Follow this

 path until you !et to a teleporter. Eyes will pop up but 5a!!er ecies they

nee to press on an save the enomes. $hen you have control of iane a!ain.

;ust follow her to the teleporter. $hen we see one of the most romantic sceneson isc three. 0owever, before they can kiss, the teleporter beams them up. We

!o back to the other party. Everyone will run to the +nvincible besies Amarant

an Guina. Amarant will continue bein! &baass& an walk. Guina, of course as

you mi!ht know, will be starvin! to eath an ecie to eat an eye. =uckily

Freya comes back an yells at Guina. We ust o!e two !reat scenes. Why must

$hen iane an 5a!!er will teleporter to a familiar place. Follow this path

south until you !o into the !reen li!ht room. $hen iane an 5a!!er will ecie

to split up so they can evacuate the enomes easier. We !o back to the party,

who is without Guina. %he arrives at the teleport, an everyone woners why

she was at the bottom of the ship. $hen they !o up to the bri!e. iane runs

own to the !irl an we fin out that her name is Mikoto. More importantly, we

fin out that she was a replacement for iane an Bua. arlan finally !ot his

act to!ether, there is a woner why he in't make them all !irl specimens...

Lh, anyway, the two will talk about all that life stuff. $hen they will all

 boar the ship.

We see another beautiful FMV of everyone escapin! $erra in Bua's ship. $hen we

!o insie the +nvincible. Amarant will woner if Bua will really have perishe.

0e says it in a way as if he wants him to be alive. iane talks about the +ifa

$ree, an how arlan sai it was the !ateway between $erra an aia. %teiner 

will run own an everyone will !o up to the bri!e. $hen we see clous.

Actually, the rest of the party corrects iane an tells him that this is

actually mist. We en isc three, knowin! that Bua is still out there.

  %hock oes QsoQ much ama!e that even if you use 64 Ethers it is worth

  it completely. %teiner's role is to cast %hock, or any other !oo

  swor art. +f you have a very powerful weapon, like the E9calibur +

  or ++, then you mi!ht want to ust attack. 0owever, you shoul mainly

  be usin! %hock in this fi!ht. +f you somehow have Vivi in your !roup,

  on't min the Ma!ic %wor. +t won't o as much ama!e.

  have Auto-He!en on all characters cast Heis' Win please.

  Eiko: Eiko can be on offense or efense, epenin! on how you want to fi!ht.

  +n most cases, you will want her on offense. $his is because Auto-

  1otionAuto-He!en will take up her ob of healin!. %o, it is your ob

  to cast 0oly over an over. $his will o aroun >>>> ama!e to 5eath-

Dverview: $rance Bua is /D$0+/ like your previous encounter with him. $his

--------- time he oesn't o attacks that instantly en battles, or any other 

  crap that %@uare shoul of put in here. $his time all Bua has !oin!

  for him is he is fast. Almost all of his other attacks are the

  e9act same as the last fi!ht you ha with him. 0e isn't very tou!h,

  an a bi! isappointment.

Attacks: S Flare %tare is by far Bua's mostly ealy attack. +t oes the

-------- character's level times ?. %o, if you ha a character at 8 it

  woul o 8 S ? which is 2I ama!e. $his may seem like a lot,

  but that's why you have 5a!!er an Auto-1otion e@uippe( %ome

  characters shoul have Auto-He!en, also. $his attack hurts every-

  one, an it is by far one of the most annoyin! attacks on isc

  three. "Lnless you fou!ht DCma, then any of his attacks take ibs

  over Flare %tare.#

  S Flare is his secon ealy attack. +t seems that Bua has learne

  from the black ma!es that black ma!ic rocks. Flare will o aroun

  244 ama!e to one character. +t is more then feasible if you

  have a !oo healer at han. Auto-1otionAuto-He!en will suck it

  ri!ht up, also. Dverall, this is a ealy attack.

  S 0oly oes holy ama!e on a tar!et. Well, not really. 7ou will fin

  it oin! aroun 2644 ama!e. $hat is not ba, consierin! the

  above two attacks make this attack look like re!ular Bua. $his

  attack is not, in my opinion.

  S Heflect ust puts up Heflect on him. 7ou can counter it by puttin!

  Heflect on someone in your party. $hen have them bounce ma!ic on  that person an it will hit Bua. Heflect really i!s Bua's

  !rave, as now he cannot heal himself.

  S =astly, Bua has *ura!a. $his will o a pathetic 6844 ama!e

  heale every turn. $o make him stop castin! *ura!a, because he

  that oes the most ama!e.

%teiner: %teiner's main uty is to cast %hock over an over an over. +f he has

  better %wor Arts, then please use it. +f he oes more ama!e with

  re!ular attacks, then of course you woul use those. 5on't use %wor

  Ma!ic, however. +t is a waste of M1.

  Eiko: Eiko is &not yet an attacker, not yet a healer.& 0er main focus in

  at the be!innin! of battle, so it is almost unavoiable. Also,

  /ecron has an arsenal of re!ular attacks alon! with stuff that will

-----------------

 iane: %tealin! is not an option because /ecron oesn't have anythin! !oo to

  steal. iane shoul either be physically attackin! or usin! $hievery.

  Whichever one is better. +f you have been stealin! &re!ularly&

  throu!hout the entire !ame it shoul o aroun ?444 ama!e, which is

  not ba. 7ou have to consier %hell an 1rotect when you physically

  attack /ecron. $hievery will A=WA7% o the liste amount of ama!e.

  %o, play with both attacks an see which one oes more ama!e. Also,

  you mi!ht want iane to be the 5ark Matter thrower.

%teiner: %teiner's main ob in this fi!ht is to cast %hock, or anythin! better 

  he mi!ht have up his sleeve. *limhaCCar, %tock reak, an Minus

  %trike are ust to name a few of the other ones. +f you fin yourself 

  low on 01 with %teiner, you have the option to use Minus %trike or 

  5arksie. Minus %trike will o %teiner's ma9imum 01 minus his current

  01, while 5arksie will restore nearly all of his 01 in a physical

  attack on /ecron. 7ou ecie which one is better in the situation. +

  woul use Minus %trike at the en of the fi!ht an 5arksie at the

  be!innin! of the fi!hts.

  Freya: Freya's role in this battle is 5ra!on's *rest. $his attack is ecie

  by how many ra!ons you have kille thus far in the !ame. +t is a

  really !oo attack that shoul o aroun 644 ama!e at least. +f she

  runs out of M1 then you can !ive her an Ether or Eli9ir. $hen she can

  procee to usin! 5ra!on's *rest. Dptionally, you can have her use the

  0i!h ;ump ability an see if it oes more ama!e to /ecron. +n some

  cases it will, an in some it won't.

  Eiko: Eiko's uty in this fi!ht is simple. %he is to heal the whole party

  throu!hout the fi!ht an /EVEH A$$A*B. $his is because /ecron will

  probably !et an attack in before Eiko can attack an thus cause havoc.

  7ou have to keep Eiko on hol until you nee her. When ran *ross an

  /eutron Hin! roll aroun she will be almost invaluable with her 5ispel
