Secrets
Ozma (Located in the Chocobo Sky Garden) ---------------------------------------- In the north of the garden, examine the huge rock. This will trigger a battle will an extremely tough optional boss. If you have satisfied all 9 Land Spirits in the game, the FIGHT command will be enabled. You will be rewarded with Garnet's last summon, Ark, upon defeating it. I've came out with a sure win way of defeating it: 1) Have all characters' level above 70(LV99 comes to mind). 2) Have Quina learn the "Magic Hammer", "Angel's Tear" and KaeruOtoshi. 3) Make sure all characters have auto-haste, auto-regen and protection from confusion abilities. 4) Choose Eiko, Garnet(Dagger), Zitan(DUH!) and Quina. 5) When the fight starts, let Garnet be the main healer. Eiko should attack with Holy and assist Garnet in healing when there is a need.(Don't use Maduin. It's too costly. You're going to need all the MP you can get.) Zitan should just fight or use his Grand Result trance. Quina should use his "Magic Hammer" blue magic and attack randomly with KaeruOtoshi. Just use that hammer move 3 times and Ozma will be drained of all MP! YES, THAT MEANS NO MORE METEO OR JIHAD SPELLS FROM HIM! 6) If Ozma uses gas, heal with Quina's "Angel Tear". 7) With patience, you'll be able to defeat Ozma. Dargeleo Library ---------------- It's located northwest of the Chocobo Lagoon. You'll need an airship or golden Chocobo to get there. Alexandria's Book Boss(Sorry, but I forgot its name.) ----------------------------------------------------- He's located in the Alexandria Library. You have two chances to fight him. In disk two, where you have to rescue Garnet.(The exact time where Beatrix "joins" you.) And in disk three, at the time where Garnet and Eiko summoned Alexander. Kuwan Cave (Quan Cave) ----------------------- It is located near Treno. Take Vivi and Quina there to trigger an event. After the event, check the clock to get Elmace Shoes which allows the user to learn the Auto-Haste ability. If you have a Gold Chocobo and a dead pepper, then you might want to check the bucket near the clock for some goodies. Garnet's Real Name: ------------------- One of the "hidden" secrets in the game. 2.1-In any of the party you'll make to visit Madain Sari MUST NOT have Salamander; 2.2-First go there without Garnet nor Eiko. Try to talk to Rani. If she does not respond you anything, try to invite her to play cards and then abort it. 2.3-Get out from Madain Sari and make a party including Garnet. IF you try to talk to Rani she shall run away. 2.4-Get out from Madain Sari and then make a party composed by Zitan, Vivi, Steiner and Quina*. Talk to Rani and she will tell you why she remained in Madain Sari. Additionaly she shall tell you there's a note in the room just behind her. 2.5-Get in in the room behind her. Check CAREFULLY the room. When you're moving Zitan, try to make him turn his face to you and keep moving slowly. A message like "!" or "?" shall appear. Press the action button and the camera's angle shall change, showing Jitan reading the message. 2.6-Just after reading the note, go to the summoner's wall. Once entering there first go to the right until you hear a sound. After hearing the sound, go left until you hear the same sound again. Keep doing this until a message telling your party's HP/MP and abnormal status are healed. 2.7-Now you shall be able to read all the notes near the summons except for Ifrit's. Read all the possible notes then go near Ifrit's drawing. Now you can read the note which reveals the real name of Garnet as well as her mother's. *It looks like all the characters appeared in an ATE (Active Time Event) with Salamander** make Rani to run away or make her act indifferent to your attempt in trying to talk to her (i.e. if she doesn't runaway she won't react when you try to talk to her). **It includes Eiko and Freya. Changing Names: --------------- Just get a Namingway Quadmist card in the Desert Empress in Kujah's throne room. Then go and find a brown-clothed man in Dagelero and he'll change your characters' name. Revival of Mognet HQ: --------------------- This can be done only in Disk 4. You must have a flying chocobo. Go to the island north of Madain Sari. Look for a crack in the mountain. Use a dead pepper to open the crack. Visit the moogles in this order: Alexandria's moogle-> Burmecia's Moogle - > Black Mage Village's moogle - > Ipsen Castle's moogle- > Mist Continent Qu's Marsh's moogle* - >Dargeleo Library's moogle You will be rewarded with a Protect Ring for your efforts. *= You'll need to have Quina in your party to find it. FF3(Japanese) OST: ------------------ If you manage to buy the Une's Mirror and Doga Magic Box at the Treno Auction, go to the Black Mage Village Inn and check the gramophone for a surprise. Note that this event can only be triggered after Terra has been destroyed. Legendary Combination Shop: --------------------------- In the Last Dungeon called "Memory Room/ Birth", there's an "underwater" room. Move to the right of the room and search for Hades. (Takes a few tries.) Remember : There will be no '!'. Upon locating him, a boss fight will be triggered. Defeat him and you'll be able to excess the Legendary Combination Shop. Garnet's last summon can also be combined here. Getting EXCALIBUR: ------------------- Just buy the "Magic Finger" from the Treno auction and give it to the old man in Dargeleo Library. You 'll need to sell ALL rare items you have bought from Treno to people in Treno. Getting EXCALIBUR II: --------------------- Reach the final stage and defeat Hades in under 12 hours. After doing so, search the right pillar in Memory Room. Ultima Weapon: -------------- Take a chocobo and "dig" around the Island of Light right where Terra used to be. You'll need a dead pepper. Four Armed Man: --------------- He is located at the right path of Dargeleo Library. He rates your Collector Level. There is also a number of rare cards on him. Carbunkle/Fenrir's New Skills: ------------------------------ Emerald+Carbunkle= Emerald Light Diamond+Carbunkle= Dia Light Moonstone+Carbunkle= Pearl Light Virgin's Hope+ Fenrir= 1000 Year Dust Chocobo Paradise ---------------- Fly to the north-western most corner of the map and use a dead pepper to open that crack in the mountain. Play Blackjack -------------- Play BlackJack while listening to the ''Crystal Theme''! All you have to do is to input in this code once you get to see the The End screen after everything (note that it will not work if you try the short-cut-to-The-End method): R2, L1, R2, R2, Up, X, Right, Circle, Down, Triangle, L2, R1, R2, L1, Square, Square Final Fantasy IX's "Second Ending": ------------------------------------ Simple. Just complete the zodiac coin side quest and keep Shina's hammer. DO NOT USE THE HAMMER IN THE LEGENDARY COMBO SHOP. Keep it in your inventory and complete the game. *SPOILER*: You'll get an additional scene where Baku will "execute" Blank with the hammer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
