Hi! I'm Seferaga and this is my very first FAQ. In this guide, I will cover everything you need to know from: Items, Locations, Hidden Treasures, the truth about Mognet, Chocobos, Item Drop Rates, all 23 Jobs, 9999 HP, and much much more! There's A LOT of information in this FAQ, so enjoy it all! Oh yeah, and I even made Area Maps so you can know what the levels look like!

What inspired me to make this guide was Cloud VS Sephiroth's FFVII Perfect FAQ. I used it to complete a 100% file for that game, and it got me very

interested in what it takes to make a guide.

- This guide has been out for quite a while; going on 3 years! :) I'm sure it has found many new homes on other websites by now and I just want you to know that the latest version is found at www.GameFAQs.com, in all its dusty glory! -

Lastly, if you need to, check the "Credits" and "Copyright" sections near the bottom of the document.

And, ......, yeah. Have fun? :)

These sections are basically an "Instruction Manual". I will cover the main aspects of gameplay and all the important things you should know about.

o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>==<===>==<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o| {BEG-01} Controls |o--------------------'

In this game you have an option to use either Button controls or Touch Screen controls. I will go over these briefly, as they are explained in the official instruction manual for the game.

Area Controls (towns, caves, etc): ================================== D-pad = Moving around. B *= Run/Walk(hold), Cancel, Close menu. A = Confirm selection, Talk, Open treasure, etc. Y = Talk to any 'Guest' party member you may have. X = Open menu. L = Zoom-In/Zoom-Out screen; To see shiny spots. R = Open/Close menu. Start = Nothing. Select = Nothing.

* By default, holding B will allow you to run. You can change this option in the "Menu", then select the "Config" sub-menu.

Battle Controls: ================ D-pad = Moving in the menu. B = Cancel. A = Confirm selection. Y = Nothing. X = Nothing. L = Nothing. R = Nothing. L+R = Attempt to escape from battle. Start = Nothing. Select = Nothing.

Menu Controls: ============== D-pad = Moving in the menu. B = Cancel. A = Confirm selection. Y = Nothing. X = Nothing. L = Scroll through characters to the left; in some sub-menus. R = Scroll through characters to the right; in some sub-menus. Start = Nothing. Select = Nothing.

World Map Controls: =================== D-pad = Moving around. B = Cancel, Disembark transportation. A = Board transportation. Y = Talk to any 'Guest' party member you may have. X = Open menu. L = Zoom-In/Zoom-Out screen. R = Open/Close menu. Start = Nothing. Select = Nothing.

Touch Screen Controls: ====================== Moving around:

Run = Touch the edge of screen, press in the direction you want to go. Walk = Touch the middle of screen, press in the direction you want to go. Talk, confirm, etc: Tapping = To talk to someone, enter a location, open treasure, etc., just tap the desired NPC or object. That is basically it for the Touch Screen. For anything else, it's as easy as selecting Menu commands and/or icons.

All characters have these attributes. The values of stats are pre-set and will always be the same no matter what you do. Except for HP. HP is the only stat that can be manipulated by you, the player. Remember that! :)

Over the course of the game, your party members will most likely become inflicted with certain status ailments. (during battles) Here is what they do and how you can cure them! Some ailments remain even after the battle is ended, so you will have to cure them yourself eventually.

NOTE: There are 3 types of wellsprings. One for HP/MP, one for reviving any KO'd party members, and one for removing status ailments. Every town has at least one HP/MP and Revive wellspring. Status springs are rare.

Saving..........Save often. This game can be very challenging! You can only Save on the World Map.

Quicksaving.....This is useful if you have to leave the game for a long period of time and are stuck in the middle of a dungeon. Be careful though! This save is temporary and will disappear the next time you load your game.

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

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

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

1. HP/MP = Completely restores HP and MP. 2. Revive = Revives all KO'd party members. 3. Status = Cures all status ailments.

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

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

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

General Tips: ============= - Always keep a stock of beneficial items. (Potions, Antidotes, Phoenix Downs, Elixirs, Eye Drops, etc...)

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

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

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

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

- You can equip and unequip weapons in the "Equipment" menu. This can be very helpful if you forgot to do so before battle!

- Reserve MP if possible. Some weapons can cast magic, WITH NO MP COST, when you select it in the "Item" menu! If the weapon is equipped, go into the "Item" menu and press "Up". This will take you to the "Weapons" menu so you can use the spells.

- Casting magic on multiple targets. If you are casting magic on the enemy, press LEFT to cast it on all enemies. If you are casting magic on your party, press RIGHT to cast it on everyone!

- When in Mini, make your entire party magic-based.(Mages, etc) Mini will cause your party members to do TERRIBLE physical damage.

- Stealing can save you A LOT of money, as well as make you rich! ;)

- Dual-Wield. When you equip two weapons, you will witness some incredible destructive power.(depending on your weapons)

- If you have a good Defensive Job, like Knight and Viking, try Duel-Shields!

Explanations of this Guide: =========================== This section will explain a few important things that you should know about while playing a new game and using this FAQ.

1. Navigating. When navigating this guide, it is best to use the search function and enter the code given. I will only give you a code when it's important, or when I think you'd might be interested in seeing more details. So, all you need to do is press Ctrl+F, then copy/paste the code including the brackets {}.

2. Checklists. At the start of each section in the walkthrough, I will write out the following checklists:

Party: Current party members. Even though you'll never change them. :p Level: The range of levels you should be. It's ok to be a higher level. Enemies: Enemy encounters and Bosses. Treasure: What you will find in treasure chests, containers, secrets, etc.

About level recommendations, this is the MINIMUM level you should be. If you are lower than what I have suggested, then you might find yourself having a lot of trouble.

3. Treasure. Throughout the walkthrough, I will type items and treasure in a special way, like this: Open the chest to find a >PHOENIX DOWN<. This is so you can skim-read paragraphs if you are trying to find them quickly.

4. Bosses. I've created Information Boxes for every single Boss. They will include Stats, Item Steals, Item Drops, detailed Strategies, and the best of all, Level Recommendations. Yahooo!

<OPTIONAL:> and <PERFECT GAME NOTES:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you see these notes, you DON'T NEED to do them to finish the game. I only included them in this guide to make it easier for PLAYERS who care about getting that 100% file.

Again, if you don't want to follow the instructions within these notes, then just ignore them. :P They are there to remind the players on what they need to do to get everything possible in FFIII. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Area Map....http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/924897-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/59884 Party.......Luneth. Level.......1 Enemies.....Goblin, Carbuncle, Eye Fang, Blue Wisp, Land Turtle.

Once you start a new game, you'll watch a scene where a boy (really?) falls down a hole. This is Luneth. As it turns out, this cave is filled to the brim with monsters! You'll immediately be attacked by Goblins. They aren't too hard, just poke 'em and they'll die. :)

After the fight, head north through the cave. Along the way you will find two treasure chests. The left one holds a >LEATHER SHIELD<, and the right one holds a >POTION<.

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

In the next area, head left to a get an >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Then go all the way to the right to get a >POTION<. After this, head back up and you'll find another >POTION<. To the right is a chest with another >ANTARCTIC WIND< and, ever more to the right, a wellspring that will restore your HP/MP! Yay! It's so pretty. ^_^

NOTE: If you want to, you can stay around this area and level up, then use the wellspring to heal yourself.

When ready, head left. You will find some stairs. Go up and you will be in a shrine of some kind. You won't get far because you'll be attacked by an evil creature! Make sure you have at least one Potion, you just might need it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. Boss: Land Turtle | ---------------------------.------------------------.------------------------| Level: 4 | Drops: | Steal: | HP: 111 | Antarctic Wind....8.5% | 1.

The end. | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Recommended Level is 2-3. | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| My Level: Luneth(1). | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

When you defeat the Boss there will be a couple of scenes. When they end, you will be returned to the surface, the world map. Go ahead and save if you want to, and then head south to the nearest village.

<OPTIONAL:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This can be done at any time, but why not now? You will get some fantastic items!

Before heading south to Ur go back into Altar Cave. You will enter a different part of the cave! Take the first right and you'll come to a "dead end". There are a lot of places like this throughout the game, so keep an eye out for them! ...or I'll just tell you. ;)

Wait, it's not a dead end! Well, it is, but not here. You can walk through the wall to a secret area! Open the chests to find: >LEATHER CAP< and >BRONZE BRACERS<. Now go back, then head down. In the next area, head left and you'll enter a room with lots of treasure and a hole in the middle!

I bet you can't guess who fell down that *OBVIOUS* hole. Geez!

Open the treasure chests to get >BRONZE BRACERS<, >SLEEP<, >BRONZE KNUCKLES<, and two >LONGSWORD<. You can fall down the hole if you want, but it won't get you anything, and you will have to travel all the way to the Crystal's Shrine again. So you might get a level or two. ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <END OPTIONAL:>

<PERFECT GAME NOTE 1:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is just a reminder. Luneth comes equipped with a Knife and Vest. The rest of the main characters, when you get them, also come equipped with a Knife. You must *NOT* sell these items! You can't get them anywhere else. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you get to Ur, go into the house on the left.(with the blue roof) In here you will find two wellsprings. One restores HP/MP, and the other revives any fallen party member. Remember this, it will be very helpful later on! In the second room of this house, you will find Elder Topapa. Talk to him and watch the scene.

Now exit the house. Talk to the old man right outside, and he will ask you to use a Potion on him. If you do, he will give you a >PHOENIX DOWN<. What a nice guy! Phoenix Downs are hard to come by in this game!

Go east past the Inn. If you talk to the lady by the well, she will tell you to take the Potions inside the well. There are three Potions down there. You don't have to talk to the lady, it's just being polite. :)

Inside the Inn. Here you can buy items, watch a pretty girl dance, and even play the piano! Everyone boos you though. Hehe!

NOTE: Sorry to give up your hopes, but the dancing girls and playing the piano yield no rewards in the end. They are only for pure enjoyment! I see it as a missed opportunity for two really fun sidequests, but oh well. :(

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

After the scenes, go to the top of the flower patch, by the water. There is a hidden >POTION< lying on the ground, just waiting to be picked!

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

In here you will find many useful things. The old man gives you a very helpful tip. So go ahead and talk to him if you want to. In the pots to the left you will find two >ANTIDOTE<. Now talk to candle that the old man told you about. :P In the secret area you will find: >DAGGER<, >LONGSWORD<, >EYE DROPS<, >PHOENIX DOWN<, and >CURE<.

You're done in this town, so go ahead and leave. You can and visit the shops if you want to.

When ready, exit Ur and head south.

Area Map.... Party.......Luneth, Arc. Level.......2-3 Enemies.....None.

Upon entering Kazus, you will see Arc. You can talk to him now, if you want, or explore the town. You could even level up Luneth so he stays ahead of the group, in levels! ;)

Either way, this town seems doomed. They are all "ghosts"!

Ok, the first house you'll see is the one with a blue roof. It has a well- spring inside if you need it! Head left of this house through the trees. You will find a small pond! Around the pond, by the trees, you will find a >MYTHRIL HELM< and a >STAFF<. After you get the staff, immediately go to the right. There is a hidden path in the trees! In here you can pick up a >ZEUS'S WRATH<.

Now go back to the main part of town. You can find a >POTION< inside the Inn, and another >POTION< in the house just north of the Inn. They shouldn't be too hard to find. ;) If you need to, use the Zoom-In feature to see the shiny spots! (Zoom-In with the L Button)

WARNING: The cave at the north end of town is very dangerous at this point of the game. Don't go in here WITHOUT saving! In fact, don't go in here at all. You can't get the treasure within just yet, so we will come back later! :)

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

Leave town and walk to the small desert just west of town. On the airship, you will meet Refia. Yay! ^_^ Watch the scene and now you can fly!

Head northwest to the castle!

o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<===>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o | {04} Castle Sasune | -Checklist-o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>==<===>==<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o| || || Treasure: Wooden Arrow (x3), Holy Arrow (x2), Wightslayer, Potion, Bow, || Leather Shield, Blizzard Spell, Bronze Knuckles, 1,000 Gil (x2), || Phoenix Down. || || |o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>==<===>==<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o

Area Map.... Party.......Luneth, Arc, Refia. Level.......2-3 Enemies.....Dark Eye, Red Wisp, Zombie, Griffon.

The first thing you will do at Castle Sasune is meet Ingus! After the scene, you will be in the courtyard of the castle. Head left.

There will be a tower over here called "Sasune: West Tower". Try to be very careful. There are monsters in here and they are pretty tough!

NOTE: If you want, don't enter this tower until Ingus is in your party. That way he won't miss out on any experience from monsters and it will make it a little easier for you. :)

On the 3rd floor, you will find: >HOLY ARROW< and >WOODEN ARROW<. On the top floor, is a single chest with a >WIGHTSLAYER<. But it's a trap! You'll have to fight a Griffon! Be prepared!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.

Head back down the tower and then go right towards "Sasune: East Tower". This is much better. No monsters! Yay! On the 3rd floor you'll get >HOLY ARROW< and >WOODEN ARROW< both again. On the top floor, it looks like

someone's room! How nice! Open the three treasure chests for a >POTION<, >WOODEN ARROW<, and >BOW<. You can even take a nap on the bed. Mmm!

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

There is a chest with a >PHOENIX DOWN<. Then head to the opposite side of the room. Go through the cracked wall over here and then go up the stairs. Follow the hallway to find a >LEATHER SHIELD< and >BLIZZARD<. There is a cracked wall here too, so go in it and you'll find a secret room with a >BRONZE KNUCKLES<.

Now go all the way back down stairs. Here, take the other stairs down. Both chests contain >1,000 Gil<. That's a lot of money! You can go down one more flight of stairs, but there isn't anything special down there. Just a clean, refreshing pool of crisp water. Mmmm! ^_^

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

Inside the Sealed Cave, you will fight all undead monsters. If you need to, level up some! If you rushed everything so far, things might be a little difficult in this cave.

NOTE: The Wightslayer you got in Castle Sasune will work really well in here. It's a light based sword and that's the main weakness of this cave!

When you are prepared, go into the Sealed Cave. Take the path all the way down until you run into a chest with a >POTION<. Then go back up and take your first right. Follow the path all the way up. You will find a chest with >CURE<. Then go down and follow the long path.

In the next area, open the chest with >500< Gil. Then talk to the skull in the upper right of the room. A path will open and you'll encounter the Princess! Watch the scene and she will temporarily join your party. She can be helpful in battle by casting Aero and Cure! Nice Princess!

Go down to the next area. Follow the path to a fork in the road. Go down

first to find an >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Continue on the path and you'll find another treasure chest with >EYE DROPS<. Then take the path to the left and follow it until you meet Djinn standing on his oddly placed..... rug?

Once you beat him, you will be teleported back to the Crystal. Here you will watch a scene, and then some credits? Weird. After this a moogle will appear and tell you about Jobs. Yes, you get the ability to change Jobs! Finally! :)

For more information on Jobs, go to the "Job Guide" section. Ctrl+F. {WIND}

<SIDEQUESTS:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you want to, you can start the Onion Knight sidequest. This can be done at any time during the rest of the game, so don't feel pressured to get it finished. Besides, having the Onion Knight this early in the game won't help you any. It is very, VERY weak when your characters are at low levels. Go to the "Finding the Onion Knight" section if you want it now. Ctrl+F. {OK} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<GETTING 9999 HP:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is something that you shouldn't worry about this early in the game. In fact, you won't need to worry about it until your level 55-60! The first time I reached max HP, I didn't worry about until I was level 55! If this is something that interests you, everything you will need to know is explained in the "Getting 9999 HP" section. Ctrl+F. {HP} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Choose any setup you want. I chose this team:

Warrior-Monk-Thief-Warrior.

The reason I chose this setup is because I'm all about power. I don't like having Mages in my party. :P You might think I'm crazy, huh? Hehe. Well, I do have a lot of yummy Potions and battle items!

Now, head back to Castle Sasune. After the scenes, the curse will be lifted and you'll get your first key item: >FOLDING CANOE<. Double prizes!

Now go get your airship and fly back to Kazus.

When you enter, Refia will run off with her father. Since everything is back to normal, you can go shopping! Be sure to stock up on Potions, Eye Drops, and Antidotes! Those are always helpful!

Going into the Mythril Mines:

SAVE before doing this!!! Enemies in here are really strong! In the mine, follow the path to the right and then up the railroad tracks.

In this room, there is a secret switch at the top left, on the pillar. This switch opens up to a secret area. At the end of this path you'll find two >MYTHRIL SWORD<. This will save you 1000 Gil! Hooray! Go to the Inn and talk to Cid. Watch the scene and Cid will temporarily join the party.

Then head to Refia's house.(the one above the Inn) Watch the scenes here and the airship will be ready to go! It's waiting just outside of town.

Area Map.... Party.......

Level....... Enemies.....None.

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

Now that the rocks are destroyed, you can access a new part of the World Map! Head south to find Canaan. When you enter Canaan, watch the scene and Cid will leave your party. It's unfortunate, he was very helpful in battle!

In the house connected to the Inn, you can find a >MALLET< and >GOLD NEEDLE<.

In the northeast part of town you will find some stairs. Up here you'll gain access to the river that runs through town. Follow the river and at the end there is a chest with an >ELIXIR<. But don't be hasty! This elixir is NOT for you!

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

After the scene, talk to the lamp and a secret passageway will open! Don't you just love them? In here you will find 12 treasure chests! 12!! 4 are hidden in the wall. Told you it was worth it!

Next, go talk to Salina. She is in the house connected to the Inn. She will tell you about her boyfriend, Desch. He ran off to a mountain! A mountain with a Dragon! Oh no! Go after him and help him!

Area Map....http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/924897-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/59895 Party....... Level....... Enemies.....Helldiver, Ruhk, Firefly, Rust Bird, Bahamut.

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

NOTE: If you encounter the rare Rust Bird, steal a Phoenix Down from it!

Follow the path up the mountain. At the first fork, go down to grab a >PHOENIX DOWN<. Then continue back up. Take your first right and grab the chest containing >AERO<. Continue along the path again and grab the treasure chest with a >GOLD NEEDLE< inside.

That was......short. Go up and watch the scene. OH NO! BAHAMUT!! He'll pick you up and toss you into his nest. Check out all of those little baby Bahamuts! So cute! :) Anyways, talk to that funny looking guy hiding in the nest. Haha. Watch the scene and....Bahamut attacks!!

OK, so you can't actually kill this boss. He is way too powerful so you have no choice but to run! If you leveled up enough, I'm sure you could kill him but that would take a LONG LONG time!

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

By the way, Desch gives you a >MINI< spell, which you will need to enter Tozus.

o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<===>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o | {09} The Healing Copse and Tozus | -Checklist-o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>==<===>==<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o| || || Treasure: Phoenix Down (x2), Mythril Bracers, Fire Staff, Fira Spell, || Cura Spell, Mini Spell. || || |o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>==<===>==<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o

Area Map.... Party....... Level....... Enemies.....(tozus tunnels) Leprechaun, Darkface.

Now you're back on the world map. Be careful! You have never been to this part! Walk south just a little bit and you can enter a small forest area.

=============== Healing Copse ===============

In here are 3 wellsprings that heal EVERYTHING! One restores HP/MP, one revives all KO'd party members, and one cures all status ailments! Mmmm, water is so cool.

Also, if you talk to the tiny person here, he will give you a >MINI< spell.

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

To enter Tozus, change one of your character's Job into one that can learn Mini. I chose a Red Mage.

Now you must cast Mini on ALL 4 party members to be able to enter Tozus, which is located South, in the southern area of the LARGE forest.

Don't forget that you are MINI! If you have a physical attack team, they will

do HORRIBLE damage. You might want to change them to a magical attack team. This way you can defeat your enemies! I used 3 Red Mages and a Thief. Hey, I gotta have my stealing fix! :P Also, put them all in the back row since magic isn't affected by row.

======= Tozus =======

Once in Tozus, go ahead and explore. I mean it is a new town! When you're ready head to the northwest part of town and enter the house. This is a doctor's house. First off, Zoom-In the camera with the L Button. Then walk around the room to find 4 shiny spots! You'll get: >MYTHRIL BRACERS<, >FIRE STAFF<, >FIRA<, and >CURA<. Nice! When you talk to the doctor he'll ask for an Antidote. Give him one and he'll open the secret passage. This is your path. Along the way you will see two very obvious treasure chests. Open them for two >PHOENIX DOWNS<.

NOTE: Make sure you stay at the Inn. You'll want your MP to be full before going down here. You're Mini after all and need as much MP as possible.

Continue down the stairs and follow the tunnels until you reach the world map!

Don't remove Mini just yet. You will need it up ahead. And also, don't switch your Jobs back to normal. Not just yet! ;)

Enter the nearby cave.

o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<===>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o | {10} Vikings' Cove | -Checklist-o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>==<===>==<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o| || || Treasure: Spark Dagger, Blizzara Spell, Fira Spell, Thundara Spell, || 3,000 Gil, Viking Axe. || || |o>==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>==<===>==<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==>=<==<o

Area Map....http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/924897-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/59889 Party....... Level....... Enemies.....None.

Inside the cove, follow the path and you'll eventually meet some, well, Vikings! Sweet!

When you see the group of Vikings sitting at the table, head south. There is a secret passage leading to a >SPARK DAGGER<. This is a very good weapon at this point of the game!

Head back up. The door on the right leads to some shops and an Inn. Go ahead and buy some stuff if you want. Now head up the stairs.

NOTE: Again, make sure you stay at the Inn. You'll want full MP for up ahead.

Here you can go left or right. Go left first to what will seem like just another dead end. But wait! There is a secret passage here too! Take the the path and head down the stairs. Down in this room, you will find a wellspring that revives any fallen allies and a >VIKING AXE< and >3,000 Gil<. Very nice!

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

Just below the moogle is another VERY well hidden passage. I mean, you can't see any sign of it!! You'll find 3 treasure chests to get a >BLIZZARA<, >FIRA>, and >THUNDARA<. Oh yeah! :)

Continue along. You'll see a cannon around here. It's fun to shoot it for about 10 shots, but that's it. :P Go down and meet the Viking Leader. He will offer you his ship, to keep, if you help them out! It's a DEAL! Head up and take the stairs outside.

No matter what you do, DON'T get on that ship!! You'll fight the ultra powerful Nepto Dragon that deals +10000 damage each round! So yeah, avoid him at all costs! Except if you are WAY over leveled! Haha. Oh.

Also, if you want a complete Bestiary, don't worry, the Nepto Dragon is automatically logged into your records.(except without stats, unfortunately)

Walk along the cape until you reach Nepto Temple.

After entering, walk up to the Dragon Statue and talk to it. Watch the scene about the missing eye, and then enter the dragon's mouth. Now you see why you stayed in Mini this whole time?! :) Follow the path until you reach a room with two holes in it.

Go in the left hole first to obtain >SHELL ARMOR< and >SHELL HELM<. Now go back and drop down the right hole.

Along this path you will find a >SERPENT SWORD< and another hole! Go down the hole and at the end of it all you'll find...

After you slay this purple beast, you'll receive the >NEPTO EYE<. Back track all the way to the entrance and stick the eye into its rightful place. Watch the scene and the Nepto Dragon will give you the >FANG OF WATER<.

Next, head back to Vikings' Cove. Talk to the leader and the Enterprise is now YOURS!!! :) Let's go travel the seas!

Check out that treasure list!!! Oh my!

Now that you have the Enterprise, you can go explore the world! Well, mostly. ;) Obviously there are a ton of treasures that you can get right now, and we'll start by going to Tokkul which is located southwest from the Nepto Temple.

They are practically touching! Close enough anyway.

============= {13} Tokkul <OPTIONAL:> ============= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Area Map.... Party....... Level....... Enemies.....None.

In Tokkul, go to the northwest part of town. You can find a >LAMIA SCALE< at the base of the single tree. Now go south of the tree. You can find a >GREAT BOW< in the crate to the left of the old house. Then go one more house down, not the one with the blue roof, and you can find a >BACCHUS'S CIDER<.

Now that I look at them, the houses look alike!

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

At the east side of town you can find an >ICE STAFF<. Zoom-In if you can't find it right away. In the house at the north part of town you can find a >SONIC KNUCKLES<, >KENPO GI<, and >SERPENT SWORD< in the basement.

Leave Tokkul. When you get to the world map, head south, following the coastline. It will shortly start taking you west. Eventually you'll come upon a huge forest with a circle of grass in the middle! The small forest here is a Chocobo's Woods!

Go inside and catch one! They're so cute! ^_^

From Chocobo's Woods, head west. There is a lonely town on, what looks like, the EDGE of the world!! No way!

============================== {14} Village of the Ancients ==============================

Area Map.... Party....... Level....... Enemies.....None.

There is only one hidden treasure here! Go ahead, find it! You at least know it's there, right? By the way, it's another >SERPENT SWORD<. OK, if you wanna know where it is now, look below. ^_^

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

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

<SERPENT SWORD:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Did you find it yet? Hehe. :P Go to the well on the right side of the Inn. See that little white flower up North? There it is, hiding away! :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you're done in this town, go back to Chocobo Woods and catch a ride back to your ship. When you are back on your ship, head west from Tokkul. The coastline will curve and start to go north. Keep going until you see a castle. Go over and enter.

=================== {15} Castle Argus ===================

Area Map.... Party....... Level....... Enemies.....None.

This place is disturbingly empty. In the second room of the castle, there are 4 lit candles on the wall and a table in the left corner. Talk to the far right candle to open a hidden passage. In this passage there are some stairs and 3 treasure chests! Walk through the wall to get these. They contain a total of 3000 Gil! Mmmm, money. Now head up those stairs! This next area is LOADED with treasure, too! You'll get 4700 Gil!

Go up the next stairs and you'll be on top of the castle. Go left first and follow the path until you reach a door. It's locked! But guess what, you can pick the lock! To do this, you need to have a Thief in your party. Ooh, my favorite Job! :P

NOTE: To open locked doors with Thief, it has to be at the top of your party.

In this room, talk to the dresser to open up the treasure room. You'll get: >Light Arrow<, >Killer Bow<, and >Medusa Arrow<.

Head back outside and take a right. Another locked door and ANOTHER treasure room! I love this castle! You find: >BOOK OF LIGHT<, >BOOK OF FIRE<, >ICE ARROW<, >SCHOLAR ROBE<, >BOOK OF ICE<, and >FIRE ARROW<. Now head back to the main part of the castle. When you get back to the room with the 4 lit candles, go up the stairs.

First, take notice of the stairs you came up. There are stairs just like this to the right of the round table. You can't see them because they are covered by a roof! In this area, there are 2 treasures: >BOMB FRAGMENT< and >ANTARCTIC WIND<. There is also a secret passage to the right. Enter it between the two chests. You'll find: >ARCTIC WIND<.

If you need it, there are a couple wellsprings outside. Just head south of the round table and you'll be in a courtyard with an HP/MP and REVIVE wellspring! Woohoo! :)

===================

{16} Living Woods ===================

This place is located to the Southwest of Castle Argus. It's a round patch of forest surrounded by some mountains. There isn't much to do here, except talk to some fairies, but I thought you might want to know anyways. ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <END OPTIONAL:>

First you will need to go to Gulgan Gulch. From Nepto Temple, head northwest. Here you will find an empty castle. This is Castle Argus.(for those of you that skipped Section 15) From here head northwest again. Go into the mountains and you will find a Chocobo Woods and Gulgan Gulch! First, let's go to the gulch.

============== Gulgan Gulch ==============

Area Map....http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/924897-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/59897 Party....... Level....... Enemies.....None.

This place is AWESOME! I love the waterfalls! On the 2nd floor talk to the guy in the middle of the group. You learn about Desch's destiny and receive: >TOAD< spell. Then across the "secret" bridge, you'll find: >FIRE STAFF<, >ICE STAFF<, and a >MAGE ROBE<. Now head outside and go north to the Tower of Owen. You can walk, or go get your ship, it's up to you. Oh, and yes, we are done treasure hunting. There was a lot to do, but wasn't it worth it? Ok, to the Tower of Owen!!

=============== Tower of Owen ===============

Area Map....http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/924897-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/59876 Party....... Level....... Enemies.....Petit Mage, Pugman, Far Darrig, Blood Bat, Aughisky, Fury, Medusa.

When you enter here, there may seem like a whole lot of nothing, but there is! To progress into the Tower of Owen, you must use the Toad Spell you just acquired. Don't use it just yet though. Walk down through the frog filled sewer. It will take you left. Then take your first up and then follow the path to a dead end. You'll watch a scene here. Do what Luneth suggests, and turn everyone into toads! Poor Refia! :( NOTE: When you switch from a physical-based Job to a magic-based your MP will stay at zero. Wait didn't I say this already? Hmmm... Anyway, if you want to restore your MP, head to the nearest Inn or Wellspring. :) In this next area follow the path. You'll see a short scene along the way and then head up the stairs when you get to them. Here head across the walkway and grab a >ECHO HERBS< to the right. Continue along and head up another set of stairs! There is nothing in this next area, so just follow the path around to find some more stairs. Up here, head left, across the walkways and grab that chest to the right for a >SPARK DAGGER<. Continue up to the next floor. Head all the way left to trigger another scene. This time he is telling you something useful! Now go to the "door" on the north wall. It's not actually a door, but a SWITCH! Yay! It will open a path to you, so take it! You will find some stairs, and further to the left an >ECHO HERBS<. Now go up. This is another very simple path. It wraps around to the next flight of stairs. On this level, go right first to grab a >BOMB FRAGMENT< and ECHO HERBS<. Then go back to the left and up to the next level. Follow the walkways, then take a right to find a >SONIC KNUCKLES<. Now head all the way to the left, then down to find MORE stairs! Geez! Lots of 'em! Guess what? This is the final floor! Yahoo! Go left, down, then right to pick up the very hot >SALAMAND SWORD<! Then head all the way left again, then go up to find another treasure chest: >FLAME MAIL<. Ok, now go down, then right. Pick up the >ZEUS'S WRATH< next to the stairs, and go up! On this floor you'll encounter a demon!! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------.

Once you beat Medusa, you'll watch a scene of great importance. So focus and pay attention! Hehe. Afterwards, you'll be thrown to your ship and are once again free to explore! With that whirlpool gone, you can access two whole new places! ......yay! ^_^ Onward! <PERFECT GAME NOTE 3:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every sea creature here won't be accessible later in the game.

<OPTIONAL:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As mentioned in the scenes, your next destination is the Dwarven Isle. But let's make and *OUT OF THE WAY* stop! Hehe. Go past where the whirlpool used to be and sail east. Down this long stretch of sea, you'll find a town called Gysahl! In the southeast corner of this town you can find 3 hidden items: >GYSAHL GREENS<, and two >MAGIC KEY<.

Head over to the chocobo stable. It is the house next to the garden. You can find two more >GYSAHL GREENS< in the pots toward the back.

Also, there is a secret tunnel leading to the inside of the chocobo's fence! Fun! Oh yeah, and you might be coming back to this chocobo stable if you are doing a perfect file. ;) In the house north of the chocobo stable, you can buy Magic Keys! They can open any locked door, so I suggest you buy some! There is also a secret passage leading to the area behind the counter. You can open a treasure chest with a >SHURIKEN< inside!

Next, head to the Inn. In this first room you'll find a few people and another secret passage!! This one is located to the right, through the wall. You can find a man in here who will tell you A LOT of coolness. Try it, go talk to him!

The northern cave is inaccessible right now, so enter the southern cave. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <END OPTIONAL:>

If you skipped section 18, the Dwarven Hollows are located Northwest of the Tower of Owen. It's the southern cave on the island. Walk through the first room and down the stairs. This next area is the main hall of the Dwarven Hollows. You can find shops at the north end, the treasury at the south end, and the Subterranean Lake at the southwest end. Talk to the guy standing guard of the shrine in the middle. You will hear his plea and I guess agree to help him! So when you are ready, head to the Subterranean Lake. When you get here, you'll see another scene similar to

the one at the Owen Tower. And again, poor Refia! Hey, she doesn't like toads! :( You'll need a white magic caster to use toad.

Be very careful in this area! There is a monster called Manticore that can petrify your whole party! I was typing stuff in this guide and then looked over at my DS to see that 3 of my characters were petrified and I hadn't saved for quite a while! Lucky for me I made it out alive! So, BE CAREFUL! ;) Follow the path across the 2 bridges and grab the >GOLD NEEDLE< along the way. Then next room is empty. Just go down the stairs to proceed. Across the bridge, open the chest for a >ZEUS'S WRATH<.

Go across the next bridge and left to find another >ZEUS'S WRATH< and >GOLD NEEDLE<. Head north across the bridge and get the >GOLD NEEDLE< there and then go up the stairs on the right. You'll find >6000 Gil< on a straight path leading to the reason you are down here in the first place, GUTSCO!

The Molten Cave is just north of the Dwarven Hollows, and now that you have a Horn of Ice, the scorching Flames will burn out. Follow the path down and then head left past the lava. Up here you will find an >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Now for the scary part! You have to run on the lava! It slowly damages your HP, so be sure to keep healed with potion or Cure spells. At the fork, head right to find another >ANTARCTIC WIND<. Go back and then go on the left path. Follow it to the next area. Here you will have to travel on the lava again, so be careful! At the fork in this lava, go down first to find a chest containing a >FREEZING BLADE<. Mmm, delicious! Go back and the turn left to go under a waterfall of lava! Here, go down and get a >HI-POTION<. Go all the way up now to get a >PHOENIX DOWN<. Then head down then left to find some stairs leading to the next area. Follow this easy path grabbing >IMPACT CLAWS< and >PHOENIX DOWN< along the way. At the end of the path, there is a rock you need to talk to. It will open your way to the left. After the following room you'll be in a room with very familiar music! ;) You know what THAT means!!!

After defeating the powerful, transformed Gutsco, watch a scene involving the crystal. NEW JOBS! Alright! For more information on Jobs, go to the "Job Guide" section. Ctrl+F. {FIRE} Go to the back of the crystal room and warp on out! Then head back to the Dwarven Hollows and return the Horns of Ice. The Dwarf you return the horns to will also give you a >MAGIC KEY<.

<DWARVEN TREASURY:> {DT} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For saving the Horns of Ice, the dwarves will give you access to their HUGE treasure room!! Just go talk to the dwarf who is guarding it and he will show you the way. Inside you will get the following items: Elixir, Ottershroom, Gauntlets, Killer Bow, Gold Needle, Echo Herbs, Scholar Robe, Book of Fire, Book of Ice, Scholar Hat, Knight Armor, Book of Light, Phoenix Down (x2), Heroic Shield, and Gysahl Greens. WOW!!! Now that is one GIGANTIC reward! :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now you say goodbye to the Dwarven Hollows. On your way out you will encounter an injured fellow. Watch the scene and head to Tokkul to help those people. If you didn't go there earlier it is located southwest of the Nepto Temple. In Tokkul, all you can do is watch the very intense scene.

You can't come back here once you have defeated the Boss! Here's a quick list of the enemies: Demon, Pharaoh, Lemur, Dullahan, Lamia. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You've been imprisoned! How rude! Walk to the right, through the wall, and talk to the soldiers who have been imprisoned, too. You'll learn what has happened to their Kingdom. One of the soldiers is a spy and will attack you! Hehe, he isn't hard to beat. ;) The far right cell has an open gate so go through it and take a right. Go into the next open cell and you'll find a guard lying down. He'll give you a Mini Spell so you can enter the tiny hole. That pot next to the hole will fully cure your party! Thanks Hein! ^_^ Enter the hole once you have cast Mini on your entire party. When you are through the hole, take your party out of Mini. Follow the path up and around to a large spaced area. Immediately go down to find a treasure chest with a >HOLY ARROW<. Go back and then head up into the other path. Here you'll get two >PHOENIX DOWN<. Go back again and head left into the next part of the castle. There are two paths you can go up here. The right one has a >PHOENIX DOWN< and the left one has some stairs to the next floor. In this area you'll have 3 doors right in front of you. Within these rooms you will find: >BOMB FRAGMENT<, >ANTARCTIC WIND<, >ZEUS'S WRATH<, and 9000 Gil. Now take the path outside of these doors either left or right and it will wrap around to another staircase. Up here, grab the chest straight ahead to get a >ROYAL SWORD<. Then continue to the left to the next area. Go up the stairs in this room and you'll then be outside!

Follow the tree branch all the way up, grabbing the >PHOENIX DOWN< on the way. Back in the tree, go left first to grab an >ELIXIR<. Then head all the way up to find a >RUNE BOW<. Go back down a take that left. Go up the stairs to the final area and you will meet Hein. He's......a skeleton?

After the battle, you'll watch a short scene and a little fairy will give you the >FANG OF WIND<. The tree will tell you something VERY exciting after this so pay very close attention! Ooo, aren't you excited for what's to come? :D NOTE: In case you missed it; During the cutscene, you were teleported to the Living Woods. Don't worry, there wasn't any treasure there. ;) After this you won't be able to access the Living Woods ever again. Back on the world map, head to your ship. Now that you have saved the Argus Kingdom, the castle will be re-occupied! Let's go pay them a visit! Once you make it to Castle Argus go inside. Remember the second room with the 4 lit candles? Take that secret passageway that you opened. Keep going through here until you reach the roof of the castle.

Head left, then up, and enter the door here that used to be locked. There is a lady in here. Talk to her and she will give you two >ELIXIR<. Thanks! Now head back through the castle to the round table room! The King and his men are sitting at the table. Talk to the King and he will give you the >WHEEL OF TIME<! This is what Cid needs take make another airship, so let's go see Cid! Head to Canaan, that's where Cid lives. Remember? :P Go to his house and talk to him. He will use the Wheel of Time to turn your little boat into an airship! Yay!! The scene shown here is probably the most important one so far. And it lasts for more than 3 seconds, too! Haha. To board your ship, push A. To land, push B. You can only land in water.

When you are fully prepared, fly off the edge of the continent. You'll watch a scene with Luneth, Arc, Refia, and Ingus trying to break through the clouds.

When they make it through, you will be on the surface of the world. To make it even *BETTER*, is the wonderful music that plays in this new world map!

Ahh. :) This place is huge! The map seems rather....empty, but there are a few pieces of land that you can see on your map. Make your way to island farthest north. At this island you will find a tiny forest and a deserted ship. Enter the ship. <PERFECT GAME NOTE 5:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know they're kind of hard to miss, but make sure you get the Zeus's Wrath and Blood Sword. You can't get these chests again! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Head down to the bottom deck. You'll find two chests with a >ZEUS's WRATH<, and the excellent >BLOOD SWORD<. Now talk to the Old man standing near the beds. After the scene, give Aria an antidote. She will be cured and wake up! She'll suggest that if you take her to the Temple of Water that you might be able to return light to the world. Let's GO! ;)

Once you leave the ship, sail or fly over to the largest island. On this island, you will find the Temple of Water and the Cave of Tides. First, enter the temple. Follow the hallways back to the Crystal's room and Aria will find a Crystal Shard. Now go back outside and into the cave. Inside the Cave of Tides, head south across the bridge and follow the path until you reach a door. Aria will open it. In this next area head across the longest bridge in the world. Enjoy the pretty waterfalls, too! At the other side, head down. This place is very simple, so just head through it until you finally reach a bridge heading east, and a staircase heading north. Take the stairs, and at the end of this LONG path you'll find >BLIZZAGA<. Enjoy! Now go back to that bridge. Across here is another bridge and then a path leading to some

more stairs. Go down to the next level. In this area, there is water everywhere! Follow the path around the pool and go up the stairs when you see them. Up here is the Crystal of Water. After the events, you'll be attacked by Kraken! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------.

After the fight, some very sad events will occur. Watch them and try not to get too emotional. Before it's all over...*sigh*... Aria will bless you with the Crystal's power... YAY! More Jobs! ...and pass away. :( For more information on Jobs, go to the "Job Guide" section. Ctrl+F. {WATER} When it's all over, you'll awaken in Amur.

When awake, go explore the new town. Talk to everyone you see to learn what you have to do next. Buy whatever you might need. The Armor and Weapon Shops have a ton of new equipment. If you are planning to buy it all, you'll need some serious Gil. To be exact, you will need 96,400 Gil! Whoa! That's a lot! NOTE: Go outside the village and save. ;) If you do go outside, to level up or something, try to avoid going too far to the north. Up north are some Guardian Statues that will kill you if you don't have the required items. Also if you go south, don't cross the Bottemless Bog. You will sink and die. Hehe. This place is DANGEROUS...ly.....cheesey. >_> When ready, go and talk to the person south of the Armor Shop. Here you will meet the TRUE Warriors of Light!! Haha, not! After the scene, head over to the house east of the Weapon Shop. The Old Man in here will grant you access to the water canal. When you get into the water, head up first. Enter the garden and there you can pick four >GYSAHL GREEN<. Back in the water, head left. When you pass the Weapon and Armor shops, take the first path going north. You can walk up this waterfall. Keep going north and onto the tiny island. You can find: >BLACK GARB<, >BLACK COWL<, and >THIEF GLOVES< hidden on the ground. This is an excellent find for my lovely Thief! Yours too, if you have one! Now go to the southeast corner of town via the water canal. Here you will find the entrance to the smelly sewers! Down here, make your way across the first room. Go down the stairs to the next level and do the same as before. Once at the other side of the room, grab the >CAT CLAWS< before heading down. On this next floor, follow the path and a scene will take place when you go to cross the bridge. Save the Old Guys! After they are rescued, head to the right and go down one more level. Down here enter the pathway to the right.

This will take you to a room with a >DIAMOND BELL< and >HAMMER<. Go back out and go left across the bridge. Enter the doorway here. Grab the first chest for some >KAISER KNUCKLES< and go into the water and up the other side to find two more treasure chests! They contain: >POWER BRACERS< and >POISON DAGGER<.

Leave this room and continue the path to the up, left, down, right, stairs. Up here, head right to find Delilah! After the scenes, you will get the >LEVIGRASS SHOES<. Yahoo! Let's go cross the Bottomless Bog! Leave Amur and head south to Goldor Manor!

<MY PROGRESS:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since we're at a HUGE turning point in the game, I will share my party info with you. From the start of the game I've kept the same Jobs, except when I needed to use Mini or Toad. NOTE: I leveled up a little before heading to Goldor Manor. Luneth - Lv. 27, Warrior - JobLv. 78, HP = 771 Arc - Lv. 27, Monk - JobLv. 91, HP = 771 Refia - Lv. 27, Thief - JobLv. 99, HP = 781 Ingus - Lv. 27, Warrior - JobLv. 81, HP = 771 Because I love stealing so much, I leveled Refia's Thief Job to 99 at the beginning of the game. So my levels are probably higher than average. ^_^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <END MY PROGRESS:>

When you enter Goldor Manor head north. It's tempting, I know, but don't take any of the other paths. Ok, head north. Through here, follow the path up and around. You'll then head down, passing some book shelves along the way. Ignore them, there is nothing there. On the last row, go right and you'll find a huge line of treasure! Open them all for eleven >GOLDEN SWORD< and one >WYVERN CLAWS<. What the heck are we gonna do with THIS!? Eleven golden swords? Wow... <PERFECT GAME NOTE 6:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the only place to find the Gold Sword! So if you want a Perfect Item list, then DON'T SELL any of them! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Head back to the entrance of the manor. In here there are 4 locked doors. You need to use Magic Keys to open these doors, or a Thief. So, which one is it going to be? NOTE: If you use a Thief to unlock doors, it must be at the top of your party. They're all pretty empty. But the way to go is the northeast room. In this room you will find a path to the left. Take it. This path will go down then back up to another area. This area is easy if you know where to go. There aren't any items, so just run through it as fast as possible. From the start of this room: take your first left, take your first down, first left, go all the way left until you can't anymore, then head up. In here is the idiot who locked up your Enterprise!

After the fight watch the scene and take the >CHAIN KEY< from off the floor. Now venture all the way back to your ship and free it from its chains! Yay! <PERFECT GAME NOTE 7:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once you have your Enterprise back, you MUST encounter a Sea Dragon! He can be found anywhere in the sea. If you don't do this before you get the Nautilus, you'll miss him forever!

When cruising in your new airship, avoid flying over Saronia Kingdom. You'll recognize it as the HUGE castle in the Northwest of the World Map. If you fly over it, bad things will happen and the story will continue. Wait, don't we want that to happen? NO! Need more treasure. First, let's visit Duster Village. It is located on a tiny island in the middle of the World Map.

===================== {28} Duster Village <OPTIONAL:> ===================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Area Map.... Party....... Level....... Enemies.....None.

Inside town, there are a bunch a weirdos. Hehe. Talk to everyone. When you find the guy that talks about Items, and the guy who talks about chocobos, look close by. You can find two >EARTHEN DRUMS<, one by each guy. Sadly, that's all there is to do in this town, so you can leave. If you want, go shop! ;) Back on the World Map, head northwest. On the north part of this continent, there is another town we can visit. ============== {29} Replito ============== Area Map.... Party....... Level....... Enemies.....None.

At the east side of this town, there is a Gulgan hiding in the trees. Next to him is a hidden >PHOENIX DOWN<. You can find a >TURTLE SHELL< on the tree to the left of the moogle, and another >TURTLE SHELL< above the 2 houses at the west side of town.(by the trees) And right above this turtle shell, in that hidden area in the trees, you can find an >ELIXIR<. Next go to the house at the northeast part of town. (blue roof) You can enter the back of this house. In here you can find an >ELIXIR<, and talk to an Old Man, who will give you a useful tip! Well, that is all in this town, so let's continue the journey! :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <END OPTIONAL:>

To continue your journey, fly over Saronia Kingdom, near the castle. A scene will occur and you will be shot down! Nooo!! :(

When you gain control again, there will be two lines of soldiers in front of you. One on the left and one on the right. Looks like they are gonna fight! Instead of heading north into the castle, go south. Here you will be taken to the middle of Saronia Kingdom. You can access 4 parts of this Kingdom so have fun exploring! Choose whichever one you want to go to first! ;) Be sure and talk to everyone you see! You'll learn a lot about what going on in this War-filled Kingdom. You may also find what you need to do next! ;)

==================== Northwestern Saronia ==================== Ok, so there isn't much to do here at this time. The magic shop is locked and some retard is blocking the library. Grr. There are a few townsfolk that you can talk to, if you want.

==================== Northeastern Saronia ==================== There are more people here you can talk to. Also, there is a weapon shop open! You can buy a Thunder Spear and Wind Spear, just so you know. At the base of the trees just south of the locked Weapon Shop is an >ELIXIR<. ==================== Southwestern Saronia ==================== In the HUGE house at the east side of town, you'll find a guy in there who has found the secret to finding Fat Chocobo! Talk to him and he will demonstrate! At the right side of this room, is a secret passageway that leads to a very full treasure room! Oh yeah! You'll find....whaaaaat? 11 gysahl greens? How disappointing! At least you know how to find Fat Chocobo now, right? ;) When ready, go to the tavern at the north part of town. When you enter here, you'll watch a scene. Feeling his pain, Arc sticks up for Prince Alus. Defeat the bullies and watch the scene. <PERFECT GAME NOTE 8:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you don't get these items right now, you will lose your chance to get them later. This is because Alus will leave your party soon.

So with Alus in your party, go talk to the orange guy at the southwest part of town. He will give you a >WIND SPEAR<. And the other orange guy on the "island" in the middle of town, will give you a >DRAGON MAIL<. Thanks Alus! :P ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ==================== Southeastern Saronia ==================== Here there is something worth actually doing! In the middle of town you will find the Dragon Spire. NOTE: The 2 wooden doors on the outside of the Spire have no purpose. :(

Climb this tower to find some nice treasure at the top! Of course, you'll have to fight some monsters on the way, but they shouldn't be too mean! At the top you will find: three >DRAGON MAIL<, three >THUNDER SPEAR<, two >PHOENIX DOWN<, four >DRAGON HELM<. If you have a dragoon in your party, you must be feeling pretty lucky! :P When you are all ready, take Prince Alus to the castle. Watch the very dramatic scenes, and you'll find out the truth behind the King's madness!! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------.

When you gain control again, head to the right of the room. There is a secret passage in this wall. Follow the stairs down to find a treasure room! You'll find >BOOMERANG<, >SELENE BOW<, >TOME OF LIGHT<, >SCHOLAR HAT<, >MAIN GAUCHE<, >TOME OF ICE<, >GOLEM STAFF<, >DRAGON HAMMER<, >TOME OF FIRE<, >MEDUSA ARROW<, >RUSTY MAIL<, and >ICE ROD<. Now that is one hefty prize! For even better results, head down the stairs until you reach the end. There is ANOTHER secret passage to the right! AHH! I wanna scream for joy! In this secret room you'll find: >RUSTY MAIL<, >VIKING HELM<, >EARTHEN BELL<, >DRAGON HELM<, >GAIA VEST<, and >VIKING MAIL<. Woooooooow! You've just hit the jackpot! <PERFECT GAME NOTE 9:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Rusty Mails are simply that. Rusty. Not special. :( I'm just letting you know, because they aren't used for anything in the game other than having a spot in your treasure collection, so don't sell them! >_> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When finished looking at your new treasure, head back up to the room where you started. You can go up to talk to some castle people or go down to leave the castle. Let's go down. Out here, you'll be in the courtyard of the castle.

Talk to the guard at the northeast part of the courtyard. GRRR!!! Go into the left building first. There is a secret passage to the right. Find your way through these passages and you'll find two >PHOENIX DOWN< at the very end. NOTE: Don't worry about the room to the left of this dead-end. You can't get there at this point, but will be able to later on from a different area. Now head back to the courtyard. Enter the building on the right. Talk to the four guys in here and they will upgrade your ship!! Excellent!!! Leave the castle and board you brand new ship! Yay! With Saronia Kingdom back in order, you can visit the towns for some new excitement! ==================== Northwestern Saronia ==================== The library is now open and has some very interesting information inside! Go check it out! Use the Zoom-In feature and read all the shiny spots! There is also a magic shop now open. ==================== Northeastern Saronia ==================== There is a lot here! Try going to all the different shops and upgrading your party members. The shops have new equipment and magic that don't have yet! ==================== Southwestern Saronia ==================== An Armor Shop is now opened. ==================== Southeastern Saronia ==================== Nothing new. >_> After you are all finished, and are confident in your levels and equipment, go to your next destination!

Now that you have the Nautilus, you can pass through the harsh winds of Dalg Continent. This continent, if you don't know, is located to the south west of Amur Village. When you get there, circle around the continent looking for the opening. Go in and make your way through the mountains to Doga's Manor. Inside the manor, follow the path and a scene will occur. Doga himself will join your party and ask you to escort him to the Cave of the Circle. Continue through his manor and you'll find a room with moogles! There is an Item Shop and Magic Shop for your needs! There is also a Fat Chocobo! :P Stock up and proceed! Beyond this shop room, you will find a room with junk everywhere. Some of the junk will heal your party, so I guess I'll call it, useful? ;) Talk to the candle in the northeast part of the room. It will open a pathway to a room. In this room, use the Mini Spell or Mallet, to enter the hole. Welcome to the Cave of the Circle. Head right following the path. Just keep going until you reach the end. In the last room, Doga will cough and then cast a spell on the Nautilus! It can now go underwater!!! Sweet! He will tell you to go to the Temple of Time. Temple of Time? That sounds familiar. Hmm... Anyways, it is located in the water by Cape Twin Horn, so let's get a submarining! :P Sections 32-35 are optional. If you wanna skip, go to Section 36. Ctrl+F. {TT}

There isn't any treasure here,(so sad) but you can buy all Lv. 3-7 Black and White magic and also the Lv. 1-5 Summons! Delicious. To get to this seemingly elusive "village", head to the eastmost part of Dalg continent. With your waterproof Nautilus, dive underwater. If you are at the eastmost part of the continent, you will see a secret passageway. Follow it to the end and the emerge from the depths. There it is! I see it!!! :) ======================== {34} Saronia Catacombs ======================== Area Map....http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/924897-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/59890 Party....... Level....... Enemies.....Balor, Fachan, Boss Troll, Kyklops, Cenchos, Ouroboros, Odin.

To find this place, dive just south of Southeastern Saronia. There will be a cave here. Enter it. Follow the path until you have an option to go left or right. Go right and grab the treasures: >AEGIS SHIELD<, >RUNE BELL<, and >GOLEM STAFF<. Head back down and take the left path. You will go up some stairs here, and at the top, grab the >REFLECT MAIL<. Keep following the path and when you get to the stairs that lead to the next area, keep going right. Grab the >HEAVY LANCE< in the treasure chest. Continue to the next area. In this area, there is a huge blue rug. Head to the right. There is a secret pathway leading to 8 treasure chests! They are all traps, but you get 4 Elixirs and 4 Phoenix Downs! This may not seem like much, but these items are very rare! When ready, go to the blue rug and head north. Up here you will find the legendary warrior, Odin! <PERFECT GAME NOTE 10:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For a perfect item list, you MUST steal the Gungnir from Odin. Your Job level has to be 71+ or you will only steal Elixirs. It is also possible to win a Gungnir after battle, but it's very rare! If you are going for MAX items, you will need to get *BOTH* Gungnirs! Good luck! ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you defeat Odin, he will give you his power and you will get the ultra cool Catastro Summon! NOTE: If you haven't gotten it yet, you will notice a treasure chest to the right of Odin's room. (there are actually two) You can only get these by going through a secret passage in Saronia Castle. Now that we are done here, let's go to the next area! ================== {35} Sunken Cave ================== Area Map....http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/924897-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/59879 Party....... Level....... Enemies.....Killer Hermit, Sea Witch, Aegir, Ologhai, Kelpie, Dozmare.

Back in the Nautilus, fly to the tiny island in the southeast part of the World Map.(looks like a triangle) Dive in the water and you will find that there is a cave in the base of this island! In the cave, make your way through the first area. In the second area, there is a treasure chest to the left and up. It holds a >CHAKRAM<. The path to the right and up has a chest with >TIGER CLAWS< inside. Next, head south. At the fork, go left to find a >DUAL TOMAHAWK<. Go back and head to the right. You'll find some stairs to the next level. In the next area, go across the first bridge. Here you'll have a choice to go left, or down. Go down to find the following: >COGNITOME<, >DIAMOND HELM<, >DIAMOND SHIELD<, >METAL KNUCKLES<, and >ANCIENT SWORD<. Go back and take the left bridge. Here you will find: >DIAMOND MAIL<, >LOKI HARP<, >DIAMOND BRACERS<, and an >AIR KNIFE<. Go down the bridge from hear and grab the >PHOENIX DOWN<, >ELIXIR<, and >DIAMOND GLOVES<. From here, there is a secret passage leading to the left. You can find 4 treasure chests in here. NOTE: Each chest is guarded by a really strong monster. If you are feeling

lucky, open them. But it's ok if you want to go back to the World Map and save first! These 4 chests contain: >TRIDENT<, >REFLECT MAIL<, >TRITON HAMMER<, and an >AEGIS SHIELD<. Well that's it, there are no more treasures to get at this point! But you don't mind right? You just found the thousands of Gil worth of treasure!!!

You're happy! :) On to the next destination! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <END OPTIONAL:>

The only clue Doga gave you, as to where you need to go, is "Cape Twin Horn". If you want to find it on your own, you can do just that. If you want to know now, the answer is 2 paragraphs down. The Temple of Time is a dangerous place! It is filled with really strong monsters that can wipe out your party without you even noticing! *looks over at Chimera Mage* Arg! So if you need to stock up on items and level up a little bit, go ahead! ;) Are you ready to go? The Temple of Time is located at the southern tip of Saronia Continent. When you get there you will see why it's called "Cape Twin Horn". Dive underwater and you will see the temple. Enter. NOTE: As I barely just mentioned, the monsters in here are tough. After EVERY battle, fully heal your party. You just never know if Chimera Mages will "Back Attack" you! Haha! ^_^ But I won't give all the credit to them, because there are other nasty beasts around! Once inside, follow the corridor. Take your first left. Along this wall you will find 2 doors. They are locked so you will need a Thief or Magic Key to open them up. Inside these rooms are: >DIAMOND HELM< and >DIAMOND BRACERS<. Continue along to the left, enter the watery area and head north.

At the north end of the waterway, there are some stairs to the right. So go right and there will be another staircase, but heading down to the next level. Down here, head all the way right to find the >DEFENDER<. Oh yeah! This sword is great at point of the game!! Now, head down the stairs that you passed to get this sword. In this area, head all the way to the right to find another locked door. A >DIAMOND MAIL< rests inside. Now go back and into another waterway. At the north side of the waterway, head left first. Another locked door! Grab the >DIAMOND GLOVES< and the >BEHEMOTH KNIFE<. Yay for my Thief! ^_^ Back at the waterway, head right. Go in the locked door here. Follow this next room until you find the stairs to another area. When you first get to this area, you will see a waterfall on the left and right, and some stairs in front of you. You can walk behind the waterfall on the right to find a secret passage! Down here is some VERY rare treasure! >BLOOD LANCE<, >PROTECT RING<, and >LAMIA HARP<. After you get these, head back to the waterfalls. Go down the stairs.

Down, down, and down.

When you get to the fork, go left to find a door. Don't worry, it's locked!

In this room is a >DIAMOND SHIELD<. Go back out and head right to open the *FINAL* locked door in the Temple of Time. Inside this room you will find the instrument, Noah's Lute. With this, we can go wake up Unei! Head all the way back to your airship! When you get back to the World Map, resurface. Unei's Cave is *DIRECTLY* north of the Temple of Time. So, follow the coastline up the west side of the continent. Take your first right into the mountains and you will see a cave. Go inside and wake up Unei! Watch the scene and you will learn what you are supposed to be doing. She will give you the Fang of Fire as well as join the party! Talli-ho...away!

The Ancient Ruins are to Unei's Cave, as Unei's Cave is to the Temple of Time! Haha, in other words, *DIRECTLY* north. Just head west from Saronia Kingdom, and make your way along the rivers and through the mountains. You will

eventually find it! Once inside the ruins, follow the hallway down and the right. Over in this area there are 3 researchers. Their path appears to be blocked by some rocks, but that's NO problem for Unei! Haha! Approach the boulder and watch the scene. Now that your path is clear, continue into the ruins. Follow this path down and the left. There are 2 doors along the wall. Enter into the first one to get a >REFLECT MAIL< and then enter into the other door. In this area, head north passing the stairs on the right. Up here there are 3 rooms you can go into. You can buy items, weapons, armor, and take a rest. When ready, head back down and take the stairs on the right. Head down this path and you'll eventually turn right. Here there are many paths you can go.

First go all the way down. The right path is a dead end, so go left. In the room over here you can find a >BLACK BELT GI<. Head back out and start going up.

Take your first right to find another room. There is a >CHAKRA BAND< in here.

Continue going up in the main hallway. Ignore the first left, because that is the way you came in. Keep going up. Take the first left AND right. Not at the same time, duh! :P

In these two room you can get >FAERIE CLAWS< and a >RUNE BELL<. Again, continue heading north in the main hallway. The path will go right and then down to the next area. Just keep following the paths until you reach the end. At the end, you will find the legendary INVINCIBLE! Yay! NOTE: Pay very close attention to Unei!! She will explain everything you need to know about your brand new airship! When you gain control, and are ready to leave, go to the helm of the ship and fly off the World Map!! :) The following section, Section 38, has an explanation on how to use the Invincible, but if you want to skip it, go to Section 39. Ctrl+F. {CS}

<OPTIONAL:> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hmm, what is an easy way to explain the ability of the Invincible? OK. The Invincible can fly over "smaller" mountains. To explain further, follow these steps. Fly over to Saronia Castle. Position yourself right in front of the castle and go directly southwest. When you hit the mountains, go west into the mountains. When you are out of the forest and over the grass, STOP! Do you see the really thin mountains south of you?

THESE are the mountains you can fly over! Just go up to them a push A! Yay! Since we are here, fly over the mountains. Follow the small path and fly over a single thin mountain. In this area is Falgabard Village! How nice! :P If you have a Dark Knight in your party, you'll be in heaven! There are lots of goods here. First, you might want to check the shops for new equipment. And afterwards, go to the huge waterfall in the northeast part of town. You can walk behind this waterfall to find a hidden cave! Neat! Go to the north of the cave to find an Old man. Talk to him and LOOK OUT!!! Shinobi!

After the fight he will give you a long-named dark blade: Kiku-Ichimonji. As you leave the cave, take the waterway out instead. Follow the little stream until it wraps around a huge rock. Take the stairs by the rock and pick up 4 hidden items! >DEMON MAIL<, >HI-POTION<, >BLESSED HAMMER<, and a >DEMON SHIELD<. Next, head to the northwest part of town to find a cave. NOTE: If you aren't using a Dark Knight, equipped with a dark blade, then the enemies in this cave will Divide if you don't kill them in one hit. This

is referring to physical attacks. You can cast magic without them dividing. In this cave, grab the chest just off to the left. You'll get another >BLESSED HAMMER<. Go further into the cave by heading right. Walk through a secret passage and follow the path around the pool of water. Further up you will find a treasure chest with a >DEMON MAIL< inside. Here, go to the right to find another secret pathway. At the end, you will find an >ASHURA< and a >KOTETSU<. You are done here, so you can now go back to your airship! :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <END OPTIONAL:>

To locate the Cave of Shadows, head east from Duster Island. (it's the island in the middle of the World Map) When you reach the desert on the Eastern Continent, go north. You should see an opening that leads into the mountains! Go in here and you will see a ton of thin mountains that you can fly over with Invincible.

Make your way through the mountain maze and the cave is at the end. NOTE: Just like in Falgabard, if you aren't using a Dark Knight, equipped with a dark blade, then the enemies in this cave will Divide if you don't kill them in one hit. This is referring to physical attacks. You can cast magic on 'em without them dividing. Inside the Cave of Shadows, head right into a secret area. You can find your first >BLACK MUSK< in here. Yay! Go back and then down into the cave. Along the way, grab the >DARK CLAWS<. To the right of here you can find an injured Dark Knight. Talk to him and he will give you a >KOTETSU<. Thanks! :) Go down into the next part of the cave. Follow this path to the right. It will start to go up. Stop here! There is a secret passage to the left. You can find a >TRANQUILIZER< in the chest. Ok, continue back up the path. Further up you will find another secret passage, but since it's the main path, it's hardly secret! :P Through here you will immediately find a chest with a >LILITH'S KISS< inside. Go down from

this spot into the blackness. Find the next room, the go left into some more blackness. Go down from here into the next area! Follow this path down and around to the stairs to the next area. There is a secret passage here, but it's pointless. In the next area, there are a ton of secret passages! Don't worry, I will take you only where you need to go, getting you all items possible. First, go right. In this next room, you'll have 3 options to go into. Option 1 (left), leads to the >GENJI GLOVES< and stairs to next area. Option 2 (middle), nothing. Option 3 (right), nothing. The next area is pretty simple. Even though there are secret passages, it's just a straight shot to the end. In the area after this, go right. Follow the long path right, down, then left. Grab the treasure chest here with holds a >KIKU-ICHIMONJI<. Now go down the stairs. Here, grab the >GENJI SHIELD< on the left. Take the path to the right. You will do the same thing you just did in the last room. Right, down, then left. Finally!!! No it's not the end, but something exciting and new to look at! It's a huge spine! And you use it as a bridge! How awesome is that!? :D At the right side of this skeleton, you can find the >GENJI HELM<. Go up to the FINAL area of the cave!!! Yay! ^_^ In this final area, immediately go right to find a secret passage. You will find the final piece of the Genji set. >GENJI ARMOR<. Go back and head up another cool spine. The Fang of Earth is on the pedestal!

Afterwards, you'll obtain the >FANG OF EARTH<. Now we have them ALL!! Yahoo! Guess what? You have to backtrack ALL THE WAY to your ship! I'll just use an Ottershroom, so see ya there! ;)

NOTE: After you beat the Cave of Shadows and get the Fang of Earth, you can go ahead and make your way to the Ancients' Maze. This will result in you getting the final set of Jobs earlier than usual. If you want the Jobs now, go to the "Ancients' Maze" section. Ctrl+F. {AM}

Make SURE you come back here when you are done! There is still one more required task you need to do. :P Sections 40-42 are optional. If you wanna skip, go to Section 43. Ctrl+F. {DG}
