Introduction

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



Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have alot more important stuff to do than sit at home behind a computer.   

Anyways, I got alot of e-mails lately asking for help and some offering help.  Yes, I have read all of your e-mails.  Every last one of them.  Sorry I couldn't get back to everyone, though.  Understand that I'm not doing that just to piss you off.



So to help everyone with the e-mail thing, here's what I like.  If you send me something from the list below, you'll make me ever-so-happy and  I'll try to get back to you.  I like :

-Someone asking help with FFIX (a secret or subquest or any part of the game).  I only accept questions that make atleast a slight bit of sense.

-I like someone that has advice for a subquest that I have written or a NEW subquest that I don't know about.

-Boss guides!  I love my boss guides!  Please feel free to send me Hades and Ozma boss guides!

-Comments.  Good or bad.



Here's what I don't like :

"Wut up bloodsin i need help with the spinnin ball dude when you go to chocobos air garden can you help me"

Need I say more?

If you need help, tell me who's in your party, your levels, etc.

But also note that I'm not all that great with boss guides, so ask me for help with something that I know.



Also, the one thing that I have changed my mind on is this :

You can use my FAQ on your website by simply e-mailing me your URL.  You don't even have to ask my permission.  I just want to see your site.  Once you have the FAQ on your website, be sure to update it as much as possible.  I will gladly send you an update (that is half the purpose of you e-mailing me; I need to see YOUR e-mail).



Anyways, let me get on with it...





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

Tetra Master : Explained

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



-----------

Basic Rules

-----------



The card game is simple, but very much different from FFVIII, so it takes some time getting used to it.  You start off with 10 cards (5 for each player) and you play on a 4x4 grid.  The cards have arrows in different directions.  Your goal is to point one of your card's arrows to one of your opponent's card's open areas.  If two arrows meet, the cards will battle.  The numbers of the cards are then subtracted from each other and whoever's left with the larger number wins the battle.  When you win the battle, you flip your opponents card, just as if you would have pointed to an open space.  Whoever flips the most cards wins.  In the end of the battle, you get to take one of your opponent's cards if you win (you can only take one of the ones that you flipped).  If you flip EVERY card... you get to take them all!



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

Tips For Getting Cards

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



When you start getting better cards, discard your crappy cards.  They'll only get in your way.  You can only hold 100 cards (yeah, I know it sucks).



Save your game, challenge somebody, and return to the save point when you win.  This way, if you lose, you can just reset the game (hold all the "top" buttons + start and select.)  This also helps so that you don't have to keep playing with your crappy cards.



I found a good bit of cards at the card stadium in Treno.  Lots of great Eidolon cards are there (Shiva, Ifrit, Atomos, Ark, Leviathan, Bahamut, Fenrir, and another one that I don't have yet).  Also, try going against the weapon master.  He's easy, but he has some nice cards (Ultima Weapon, Masamune, Save the Queen, Mythril Sword).  When you have all the cards of that sort, go up against the magic master.  She's not easy, but she only has 3 different cards (Meteor, Holy, Flare).





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

The Stellazio Coin Quest

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



When you visit Treno, you may come across a woman named Queen Stella that wants you to find 12 zodiac coins that tell a story.  They're not one bit hard to find, so go get 'em.  You CAN do this on the 4th disc, so don't worry about it until then.  There's supposed to be a trick that gets you a "secret ending" if you keep the reward in your inventory, but I really didn't notice anything.  But if you complete the quest, use Cinna's Hammer in the Legendary Synthesizer's shop, because the "secret ending" sucks.



-The Aries coin is inside the windmill in Dali.



-The Cancer is in Burmecia under a cart.



-The Scorpio is in the Quan Cave down by the healing spring.



-The Gemini is in Treno; throw 13 coins into the well.



-The Taurus is behind the item shop in Treno.



-The Virgo is in the Black Mage Village Inn.



-The Libra is in the Madain Sari fountain.



-The Leo is in Alexandria Castle's room with the Neptune statue.



-The Sagittarius is in Lindblum Buisness District by the workers in the  

3rd screen.



-The Capricorn is in the right side of Daguerreo city.



-The Aquarius is in Ipsen Castle's entrance by the left pole.



-Pisces is in the treasure chest in the Invincible (Kuja's ship).



Once you get those 12, bring them to Queen Stella.  She'll tell you that there is one more.  Now you have to find the 13th coin.  It's located in Quan's Cave where you found Scorpio.  Upon finishing, you will recieve Cinna's Hammer... Now how did she get that from Cinna?





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

Land Spirits

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



What the hell is up with those battles that have funny music and a nice-looking creature?  These are land spirits.  They do not harm you, but they want some gemstones.  Here they are, where they're located, and what they want:



-Mu, the squirrel, is located somewhere around Dali; he wants an Ore..  

only one.



-Ghost, that thing that looks like a rich, old man, is located outside of Treno; he wants an Ore.. only one.



-The Ladybug, is located somewhere in the forest around the Black Mage Village; she wants an Ore.. Two of 'em.



-Yeti is located in the forest outside of Madain Sari; he wants an Ore.. Two of 'em.



-Nymph is located in the forest near the Iifa Tree wants three Ores.



-Jabberwork is located in the forest outside of Oivell and wants one Emerald... only one.



-Feathersuckle is located on the Lost Continent on the Chocobo footprints... he wants a Moonstone.



-Galda is located in the forest outside Gizamaluke's Grotto.  Wants a Lapis Lazly.



-Yan is located on the small island in the center of the map, but runs away unless you've met all the other Land Spirits.  Wants a diamond.  Make sure you find all land spirits before looking for Yan!  You sure the hell don't wanna meet an Evil Yan!



When you please them all, your battle with Ozma becomes easier and you will recieve AP.





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

Action Figures

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



The latest fad among the Lindblum kids, there are four of them that you can get.  They do nothing more than raise your collector's rate, but hey, they're nice to have.



-Mini-Cid is bought at the Treno Auction.



-Mini-Burmecia is bought at the Treno Auction.



-Mini-Prima Vista is obtained through the coffee bean quest.



-Mini-Brahne is in under the mayor's chair in Dali.





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

Coffee Bean Quest

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



The old man in the tower next to Dali likes coffee alot, and wants some coffee beans.  This cannot be done on the fourth disc (well, not after you've been in Memoria, anyways), so it's best to do it now.  You get the Prima Vista figure for it.

NOTE : ONCE YOU COMPLETE THE QUEST, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE TANTALAUS HIDEOUT IN LINDBLUM TO GET THE MINI-PRIMA VISTA.



-There's a bean in the pass near Chocobo's Forest.



-One is in Eiko's kitchen.



-The last can only be obtained in the 3rd disc, and is very tricky to get.  Before you go into the card tournament in Treno, you have to go to Dali and search the Mayor's house for his key.  Then go open the locked door in the windmill.





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

Frog Catching With Quina

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



Visit one of those dirty marshes in the world (I think there's 3, but I may be wrong) and go in it to catch frogs with Quina.  But let's face it, sometimes we can get frustrated with those pesky little bastards.  When you do get them, however, you will be rewarded.



Number	Reward



2           Ore Stone

5           Ether

9           Silk Robe

15          Elixer

23          Silver Fork

33          Bistro Fork



I read in a guide that if you get a hundred frogs, you can fight Quina's master and obtain Quina's best weapon.  But I haven't caught 100 frogs yet, so I can't prove that.





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

Legendary Synthesizer - Hades

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



Remember Hades, the summon from FF7?  He is the Legendary Synthesizer that you always hear about!  He's located in the "underwater" room in the last dungeon.  You'll have to beat him, so save in the room before the underwater area.  Go to the right side and search for him, you won't get a " ! ", though.  He can make everything from Ethers to Pumice.  He sure the hell ain't easy!  

Boss strategy in the next update!





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

Dagger's Name

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



This is one of the "hidden" things in the game, but it's actually pretty cool.  Sure, it's long, boring, and a complete waste of precious time... but if you feel that you must have it all, do this :



-In disc 4, go to Madain Sari with Dagger in your group.



-Go to Eiko's porch, and Lani will be there, but she'll run away.



-Leave, and come back with anybody except Dagger or Amarant.



-Talk to Lani twice, and head for the Eidolon Wall.



-Once you get in, walk right until you come back to the entrance.



-You should hear a "ding".



-Now walk left from the entrance.



-Come back and hear another "ding".



-Repeat going back and forth nine times until your HP/MP is restored.



-Now go right and read every Eidolon.



-When you read them all, go back to Ifrit and read it.



-There will be a note from Dagger's father on it, revealing her name.





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

Quan - Vivi's Grandfather

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



Go to Quan's Dwelling (or Quan's Cave, as I call it).  It's around Treno.  Make sure you have Vivi and Quina in your group.  Go into the room (the only one) and look at a small cut-scene.  This is kinda cool, because Vivi's Grandpa is dead, but you still get to meet him.  Also while you're there, look for the " ! " in the room with the ladder; revealing why Vivi has a Grandpa that doesn't look anything like him.





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

Une's Mirror and Doga's Artifact Trick

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



If you manage to get these (Une's Mirror and Doga's Artifact) at the Treno auction, go to the Black Mage Village's Inn.  Talk to the guy by the record player and you'll be able to hear music from FF3.  The music lasts until you leave the village.





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

The Ragtimer (The Ragtime Mouse)

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



You know exactly who I'm talking about.  The funny-looking guy that you see in the forests with a big X and a big O next to him.  You probably ran into this guy on countless occasions.  He asks you a question, and you're like "That's nowheres on the game, how the hell am I supposed to know that answer?!".  Well, that's why you should check flyers, posters, pictures, etc.  The information is spread through the game.  Answer all his questions and you'll get showered with AP and you will be given 1000 gil.  In a later version of this guide, I'll have the answers to all his questions.





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

Changing Names

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



You will need to acquire a Namingway Card to do this.  This card can be recieved in two locations.  The card tournament against Mario, and in Kuja's Desert Palace (In his throne room).  Now go find the man dressed in brown in the Library City of Daguerreo and he will change your characters' names if you like (ANY PLAYABLE CHARACTERS, INCLUDING ZIDANE).   





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

The Four-Armed Man

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



You probably saw him in Treno and thought he was just some stupid, once-in-the-game character.  But actually, he's one of my favorite characters in the game.  He ranks you on your collector's rate.  But who is this Four-Armed Man?  I don't really know myself!  I can't get a collector's rank S for anything in the world!  But if you get a rank S, go visit him in Daguerreo and he'll become intimidated by your rank.  He'll then run outside, so follow him to the entrance of Daguerreo.  He'll reveal himself and give you the Rank S Award.



Here's a list of ways to build up your collector's rate:



-Treno Auction Itmes, Field Icon items, and items recieved in a sequence will get you 1 point.



-You will get 2 points for all the treasure chests that you find when looking on the world map with the "Chocograph".



Note: You don't recieve a damn thing for items that you find playing Chocobo Hot and Cold!



Also, the Four-Armed Man has a number of rare ship cards on him!  These include the Red Rose, the Blue Narciss, two Hilda Gardes (he might have all three, but I ain't seen it), and he's got the Cargo Ship (yeah, that cheap, dirty one that you rode to Lindblum for the first time).





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

Blackjack Game

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



When you beat the game, there is an endless "The End" screen.  I don't know why.  But there's a secret that lets you play Blackjack while listening to the music.  I don't know the meaning of this game, but it's pretty cool.  You have to enter the follow code at the "The End" screen :



R2, L1, R2, up, X, right, circle, down, triangle, L2, R1, R2, L1, square, square



Once you lose all your money in the game, you'll be sent back to the "The End" screen.



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

Getting the Excalibur for Steiner

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



This nice, short subquest can be done in disc 4.  All you gotta do, is pay a visit to the old man in the Daguerreo Inn and get him the "Magical Fingertip".  Now where the heck is this?  You heard in many, many guides that it is at the Treno Auction house.  When you went to get it, however, you ain't seen a single damn Magical Fingertip!  That's probably because you haven't sold all of your other key items.  You must sell your Griffen's Heart, Doga's Artifact, Rat Tail, and Une's Mirror.  Once that's all gone, you should be able to get the Fingertip at the auction.  Bring it back to the old man in Daguerreo and he'll tell his life story.  When he's done, he'll give you a very powerful sword for Steiner: The Excalibur.  It comes with that smashing move that you saw Beatrix use; Climhazzard. However, he has a better sword known as the Excalibur II.





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

Getting the Excalibur II for Steiner

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



You think you're up for a challenge?  Well, this is one hell of a challenge!  You just feel so good about yourself when recieving this sword... and not because you finished a quest.  Because this sword kicks major ass!  It's the best weapon in the game!

Play FFIX again and get to Memoria, the last level, in under 12 hours.  The Excalibur II is on the Terrace in a right corner.

Good luck!





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

Little Extra With Ruby

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



This is a neat little trick that takes place in the Prima Vista when Baku is explaining the plan to kidnap Garnet.  Choose "...to kidnap Queen Brahne."  Yeah, this is kinda stupid, but if you choose it 65 times (most people say it's 64, but I counted 65), you get a little cut-scene with Ruby.  It's nothing much (she just says something about Zidane being "as stubborn as a mule").  It's not worth it.





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

Racing Hippaul

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



In the beginning of disc 3, you get control of Vivi in Alexandria.  Find Hippaul and his mother somewhere in the streets.  Talk to his mother and Vivi and Hippaul with run a race.  Every race, Hippaul's level will go up.  For every ten levels, you'll recieve a card from Hippaul's mother.  If you get him to level 80, you'll recieve the Athlete Queen Key Item.





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

Jump Rope Game

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



In the beginning of disc 1, when you get control of Vivi for the first time, head for the ticket booth.  When you find out that your ticket is a fake, go to the girls playing jump rope on the side.  You can play, too.  Great time to earn rare cards, a key item, and some gil.

To jump the rope, press X everytime the " ! " appears over Vivi.  The game's not as easy as it looks!  After 20 jumps, it gets faster.  The speed increases as you play.  You get some cool stuff like :



Number      Reward

20          10 Gil

50          Cactaur Card

100         Genji Card

200         Alexander Card

300         Tiger Racket Card

1000        King Of Jump Rope Key Item



The game can be played at other times, including the 4th disc.  You have to go to the Alexandria Cathedral and talk to the girls.  Make sure Vivi or Eiko is in your party!!

                                          



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

Fighting The Monsters In Treno

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



Go to Treno, and head for the Weapons Shop.  Talk to the woman and tell her that you want to fight the monster.  Choose your fighter (you can only pick one) and kick that monster's big, candy ass!  Yeah, I know, you don't get much for killing the monsters, but it's still fun, because the shopkeeper will reward you.  If you kill the Griffin, you will get a Tonberry Card.  If you kill the Catoblepas, you'll get 15,000 gil (hell yeah, somethin' you can use!).  Killing Amdusias will get you some running shoes, which is pretty nice.  And finally, if you manage to kill the extremely difficult Behemoth, you'll get the Circlet.  I found all the monster's easy, except for Behemoth.





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

Chocobo Hot and Cold Quest

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



This is a mini-game and a subquest at the same time.  You have to collect the Chocographs buried under the ground and go find the treasures on the world map.  Now sometimes you will find a treasure chest that makes you "sleepy".  Choco will fall asleep and go to a dream world.  In here, the fat chocobo will make Choco evolve into one of four new abilities.  The first is the "Reef" ability.  This lets Choco cross over small rivers... nothing major.  The second is the "Mountain" ability.  This is a little better, it lets Choco cross over mountains and other large structures (other than cities).  From there you will recieve the "Ocean" ability.  This will let Choco walk on any body of water on the map.  And last is the "Sky" ability.  This will allow Choco to fly and go anywhere in the world.



Now, I never said all that was gonna be easy!  Here's some tips for playing Chocobo Hot and Cold :





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

Digging for the Treasure/Chocograph

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



-Go in one direction.   



-Press square to dig every four steps.  



-Keep going until you get a "Kwehhhh!?" message.



-From here, keep going until the "Kwehhhh!?" goes away and you get  

"Kweh?!" again.



-Now you know the area of the treasure.



-Move a little to the right or left; and run down to where the  

"Kwehhh!?" first started. (dig while doing this)



-If you find nothing, try it from a different direction. (still digging)



-You'll find the treasure without wasting all that time.



-Whatever you do, don't go running around with no clue of where the treasure MIGHT be.





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

Tips For Locating Areas On The Map

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



-In the Chocograph menu, Meen's advice will appear in the box under the picture of the treasure's whereabouts.



-Press select for Mogster's advice.



-If the treasures requires some certain ability to get to, chances are you'll be using that ability.  Example : If you need the Mountain ability to find the treasure, it's probably on a mountain.  If you need  

the Reef ability, it's most likely gonna be in a river.



-Look for foaming water and cracks in mountains once you recieve some "Dead Peppers".  You will get treasures that you CAN'T get with a Chocograph!



-Fly low if you're in a airship.  That's common sense; but you wouldn't believe how many people fly as high as they can and expect to find the place on the chocograph.  This will make it EXTREMELY difficult in the fourth disc when you have all that mist in your way!





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

Dead Peppers

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



Someone e-mailed me today (credits : Andrew Vo for bringing that to my attention) telling me that alot of FAQs don't explain the location of Dead Peppers.  I, myself, believe that we should not suffer from the failure of other guides.  So, I take it upon myself to add this little section.

(Actually, I just copied the e-mail that I sent him 'cause I'm too damn lazy to type something new.)



Head for 'Chocobo's Forest' and call Choco;  

It's a pain in the ass from here...  

First, you have to find Chocographs and keep treasure hunting until you get the "Reef" ability. Once you have that, you have to find "Chocobo's Lagoon", which is in the southern area of the Forgotten Continent. You have to get the "Mountain" ability here (some people said that the "Mountain" ability is in Chocobo's Forest, but I'm not sure about that). It's harder to dig for treasure and you get less time; so it could take a while. But you'll notice that now instead of getting normal items (potions, antidotes, echo screens, etc.) you'll be getting alot of Dead Peppers.





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

Fighting Ozma

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



Ozma is in the Eidolon cemetary in Chocobo's Paradise.  It is one of the game's hardest bosses.  If you pleased all land spirits, however, you will be able to fight Ozma using physical attacks.  This makes Zidane, Steiner, and Amarant a bit more useful.  Only fight it with your levels up (atleast 80).  Also, get the Ragnarok (the Excalibur II is best if you can manage to get it) for Steiner, and the Ultima Weapon for Zidane... this helps alot.

More on Ozma in the update...





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

Alexandrian Library Boss

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



You have two chances to fight this boss :



-When Beatrix joins your party. (You can, but...)



-When you take control of Zidane to find Garnet and Eiko in disc three.  (the part when they summon Alexander). (Recommended)



Now, don't go telling me "I went into the library and I ain't seen no damn monster!  You're a liar!"  'cause that means you ain't did something.  There's a book in the library, and you will get a " ? " over your head when you find it.  Choose to "Listen To It", then choose to "Challenge it".



Ah, Hellz Yeah, A Boss Guide (Credits : MatrimTKarsa@aol.com) :

"Simply attack the book until the blue creature pops out, and then

only use special attacks and magic. He will take a lot more damage when he is like this, than when he is hidden inside the book. Zidane's Thievery ability, and Amarant's gil-tossing skill both work extremely well, as do Zidane's Dyne moves if he happens to trances. If you do physically attack him, then he will go back inside the book and you have to do about 200 HPs worth of damage to get him to come back out. Hope this helps."





I believe this boss is about six times harder than Ozma.  If you do manage to kill it, though, you will get alot of AP, Running Shoes, and the Auto-Haste ability.





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

Mognet Central

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





Go to the Outer Continent, and head for that northern island.  You'll need a Reef chocobo to open the crack in the mountain with a Dead Pepper.



Artemicion used too much of something to make his fur look glossy, and now there isn't enough left to keep Mognet going!  Get the hell out of here, and go to Kupo in Alexandria (he's in the Cathedral with the jump rope kids).   

Select "Mognet" and he'll give you a letter to Atla.   

Head to Burmecia and visit Atla in the Castle Area (Eastern Door).  Give her the letter and she'll give you a letter to Mogryo (Black Mage Village).  Once Mogryo gets the letter, you'll have to bring Kumool a letter.  Kumool is in Ipsen's Castle.  Get the letter to Kumool and you'll recieve a letter for Mois.  Mois is in Qu's Marsh (Mist Continent) by the Fossil Roo entrance.  I believe Quina MIGHT have to be in your party, so put Quina in there to be safe.  Mois has a letter for Noggy, who is in Daguerreo.  Once Noggy gets the letter, you'll be sent back to Alexandria with the final letter to Kupo.  The letter gives hints to where the item is, but it's not much help.  So visit Ruby in the mini-theater that she owns.  She'll give you the Superslick.  Return to Mognet and give Artemicion the Superslick.  For helping, you get a lousy protect ring.





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

Feed The Moogles

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



Whenever you get a Kupo Nut, bring it to the Moogle family in Gizamaluke's Grotto.  You'll be rewarded.





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

Collector's List

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



Don't like using guides, but you want to know what you have and don't have?  That's the beauty of this!  A list of every card and key item.

Ain't I a nice person?

Misc. Tips

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

Subquest Tip

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



In disc 4, you can do a good bit of subquests, but not all of them.  You cannot do the Coffee Bean subquest, you cannot change the names of your characters, and without the Coffee Bean quest you cannot get all the action figures.  Why is that?  Because large landscapes (roots of the Iifa Tree, perhaps?) block off all the entrances to any place that does NOT contain a Stellazio coin.  It's best to do your subquesting when you first recieve the Hilda Garde 3 from Cid, rather than in the Invincible. Unless of course, I say you can only do it in disc 4.  Then you can just wait for the Invincible.

Saving Gil

----------



This isn't a secret or a subquest, but I just thought I should help you with saving your money.



-Search before you shop!  Don't go running into the item or weapon's shop and blow your money on stuff that could be found laying around in the city.  For example : When I went to do Kuja's little "favor", I bought a brand new Diamond Sword for Steiner from the Moogle.  I got in, and there was one in a treasure chest.



-Check what it could do for you.  Don't buy anything that will lower your status just so you can have it.



-Check the floors.  There's usually money there!



-Use the "sell" option.  Sell what you don't need.  If you got the Excalibur for Steiner, don't keep the Ultima Sword or any of his old weapons.



-Try using the power of mini-games, such as "Jumping Rope", "Fighting The Monster In Treno", "Racing Hippaul", etc.  They usually reward with cash.
