Secret Developer's Room (Final Fantasy4):
The "Secret Developer's Room" is hiddenin the Dwarf Castle in the Underworld. Between the weapon andarmor shop is an odd section of wall that is actually a doorwayto the "Rally-Ho" pub.

Hint: Weapon duplication (Final Fantasy4):
Select "Item" and press X on anempty slot during a battle. Move up until the equipment in thatcharacters left and right hands appears. Press X on theweapon to be duplicated. Press Circle and complete thebattle or retreat. After the battle, equip that character withtheir weapon in the same hand it was in. The weapon should havea "2" next to it. Un-equip, then re-equip the weapon.You should now have one copy of the weapon equipped and anotherone in inventory.
A similar trick can also be used with Cid, Bersk Cid, or any characterthat can use a bow and arrows. Equip the bow and arrows. Makesure the wizard that is casting Bersk takes his or her turn immediatelybefore the player with the bow and arrows. Time it so that theBersk spell can be selected; and while waiting for the wizardto cast the spell, have the character with the bow and arrowsselect the "Item" sub-menu, and Un-equip the Arrows.Do not exit the items list. While in the items list, the wizardshould be casting the Bersk spell. The character and the Arrowswill get Bersked. The items list will disappear and the battlewill continue. Fight or run away to end the battle. Then, enterthe equip menu to find a number in the character's hand wherethe arrows were previously held. Un-equip the bow. Equip the weaponor shield to be multiplied in the hand containing the number.Keep equipping and un-equipping until a black box appears nextto the weapon in the items list. That character now has 255 ofthat item to throw, equip, or sell.
Equip Cecil with a bow and some arrows. Place the arrows in hisgood hand. Start a battle, and un-equip the arrows by selectingthe arrows in his hand, then place them in a blank spot on theitems list. Select the Avenger Sword, and equip it in the handwhere the bow is located. Use Cecil to kill all the enemies. Whenthe battle ends, enter the equip menu to find the Avenger Swordin Cecil's bad hand, and a number in Cecil's good hand. Therewill be nothing next to the number, as an invisible weapon isequipped. Un-equip the Avenger Sword, and equip the weapon orshield to be multiplied in Cecil's good hand (that currently hasthe number). After it is equipped it, a black spot next to a numberwill appear. Un-equip that object to create 255 of the weaponor shield that was placed in Cecil's hand.
Hint: Skip Sealed Cave event (FinalFantasy 4):
When you go to the Underworld and go to the DwarfKingdom, after you have to fight the dolls in the secret crystalchamber, Rydia returns and helps you fight. After you are doneand back in the main chamber, use her warp spell to get back tothe crystal room. The crystal will still be there. Approach andexamine the crystal to take it. Later when you have to go to theSealed Cave, if you have the Crystal, you will not have to enterit. You can skip that event and the game will automatically goto the sequence that normally happens as you are coming out.
Hint: Defeating Asura (Final Fantasy4):
Cast Wall on Asura, and she will not be able touse her cure spells on herself, and they will be cast on yourcharacters. Make sure your party is at least level 35 or higher.Attack her with Rydia's best spells and use your best sword withCecil. Use the Fire Saber because it damages her the most. Note:The Fire Saber is obtained from the Tower of Bable immediatelyafter getting the Earth Crystal. The spell you want to use withRydia is Virus. It does at least 700 if your characters are upto level. Also, if you have Kain, make him jump because he usuallyhas the most HP -- he does not have to be cured from the reflectedcure spells from Ausara. Note: The less people in your group whenthey get cured, the more HP that they will get back. In otherwords, Kain needs to be in the air at all times.
Hint: Defeating Golbez (Final Fantasy4):
When fighting Golbez in the underworld after defeatingCalbrena, make sure Kain is up in the air before Golbez summonshis dragon. If you do not, he will kill all of your charactersbefore Rydia appears. You should have Cecil, Rydia, and if yourlucky and your timing is correct, Kain. Note: Kain will reallyhelp in this battle; make him jump, have Cecil use his sword,and Rydia use Virus.
Hint: Defeating Milon Z. (Final Fantasy4):
To kill Milon Z. easily, cast some Cure 4 spellson him, or give him some Elixirs.
Hint: Defeating the 4 Fiends (FinalFantasy 4):
To defeat the 4 Fiends easily, use their weaknesses.For Milion, keep using Fire spells and attack. When he dies, hewill return as Milion Z. Use Fire, Cure, and attacks to defeathim easily. For Cagnazzo, use about two Bolt 3s and he shoulddie, depending on your level. For Valvalis, have Kain jump andmake her come out of her tornado form. Keep attacking her fromthere. For Rubicant, use Ice 3 only when his cape is open or elseit will cure him. Have Edge throw swords, have Kain jump, andthe rest attack. Note this strategy also works when you have tofight the 4 Fiends again when in the Giant, only Rubicant nevercloses his cape.
Hint: Fighting Pink Puffs (FinalFantasy 4):
Pink Puffs are in the bottom fight room in B4,on the moon. There is only one square where you fight Pink Puffs.It is located in the very top right square. Do this to increaseyou chance of fighting a group of Pink Puffs.
Hint: Easy experience (Final Fantasy4):
Once you are able to venture through the Underworldwith the Red Wings Airship, you can visit the Land of Summons.Try going there no earlier then level 30, because the monstershit far too hard. Reach the town at the bottom of the cave. Savethe game once in the town, buy potions and armor, and use a Cabin/Tent.Go back to the cave, where the gray teleporter is located. Circleit for awhile. Sooner or later you will encounter a Conjurer.There are several different ones. Each calls a different monsterinto battle (Imps, Arachnes, and Clappers), but the one you shouldlook for is HugeNaga. Do not kill the Conjurer. Instead, targetthe HugeNaga. This should take two attacks from Kain, Cecil, orEdge, or one cast of Bio from Rydia. After each Naga is killed,the Conjurer will call another. Just keep killing the HugeNagasrepeatedly, while having Rosa use Cure 3 each turn. This trickcan result in up to 35,000 experience and 9 level ups in a singlefight.
When you get Edge, he is only at level 25. To level him up easily,go to the stairs at the Tower of Babil as soon as you find Edge,but do not enter. If you do, you will not be able to return andsave. Walk around until you find a group consisting of a Sorcererand two BladeMen. Quickly defeat the BladeMen, as they are capableof casting Bio. Do not touch the Sorcerer. He will call in a GreenD. or a MadOgre. Kill off what he calls in, and he will call anotherone. Keep repeating the process and you should get an averageof 6,000 experience and 2,000 gil for each fight. If you get hurt,return to the save point.
Go to the moon as if you were going go fight the last Boss. Goto the third floor and fight some monsters. You should get atleast 20,000 experience in each fight. A very special monsteris the Pink Fluff. It only appears in one location -- on thethird floor in the top right spot. Defeat it for 100,000 experienceper battle.
Hint: Good weapons (Final Fantasy4):
After you get the airship, go south of Baron Castle.You will see a small island. Go left and you will see a castleand a big crater with a tower. Go inside the castle and therewill be two paths. First go to the left and right. When you walkinside the door, there will be some treasure chests. Go back tothe door, but do not go through it. Go as far as you can to thedoor without going through it, then go left and follow the path.Open the treasure chest and fight the monsters. You will get theSlumber Sword, which is a good for Cecil at this point. Get theother chest and go through the right side path at the entrance.After that, go up the stairs until ypu get to the top. Go to thetop of the room and turn right. There should be a hidden path.Follow it and fight the monsters to get the Blood or Drain Spearfor Kain.
Hint: Secret passage (Final Fantasy4):
When Tellah joins you, in the same room there isa big waterfall next to Tellah. Go in there to find many goodthings.
Hint: Cast Sylph for free (FinalFantasy 4):
Keep your group in this formation: from the top,Kain, Rydia, Cecil, Rosa, Edge. Place Rydia's summons in the orderof MP use, lowest to highest. She will be able to cast Sylph forfree in any regular battle (i.e. not a back attack).
