Hint: Get Cloud:
This trick must be used in Chapter 4. You should havefour empty spaces in your formation. Go to Zeltennia Castle andlisten to the rumor called "Cursed Island". Buy a Flowerfrom Aeris at Zarghisdas Trade City, then go to Goug Machine Citywith Mustadio. The screen will fade and display a scene with Mustadio,Ramaza, and a steel ball. Go to the bar in Goland Coal City andlisten to the rumor called "Ghost of Coliery". Afterthis, go to Lesalia Imperia and the screen should show a bar.When you leave, invite Beowulf to join your party. Go to the reddot, right under the city. You will fight four battles, save Reis,and get the Zodiac Stone that will trigger the steel ball. Returnto Goug Machine City again and a funny scene should appear. Letthe Robot join your party. Go to Nelveska Temple and defeat therobot/ You will find out that Reis is a girl and will get a ZodiacStone that will trigger Cloud and take him to your world. Go backto Goug Machine City and you will trigger Cloud into your world-- he runs out for now. Go to Zarghidas and save Cloud from themen that are punking Aeris. Note: If this did not work, make sureyou killed Dycerag and Zodiac Soul Adramelk. Cloud can do nothingbut Defend and Attack. Go to Bervania Volcano and equip the Move-FindItem.

When you go to the Bervenia Volcano, have the Move-Find Item equipped.Check the highest peak of the area to find the Materia Blade.

Get Cloud to a high level and give him Short Charge. He is asstrong as Orlandu at a smaller level, even though his attackstake a turn or two to charge.

Hint: Defeating Gafgarion:
Before the battle against Gafgarion, strip him of hisarmor, weapons, etc., then turn him into a priest or somethingvery weak. You should be able to defeat him easily. Note: Thiswill not have any effect when you face him again in the secondchapter.

To easily defeat Gafgarion at Lionel Castle, change Ramza intoa wizard and teach him Flare. Make sure he has enough MP to useit before you go into battle. Cast Flare on Gafgarion on the firstturn and it should kill him in one hit.

Let Razma be a Summoner and learn any of the three (Shiva, Ifrit,Ramuh). Cast summons two times to defeat Gafgarion. This strategyalso works with Underground Book Storage first floor, where youfight Wiegraf and Bosses alone.

To defeat Gafgarion at Lionel Castle, make Ramza a Monk and havehim learn Chakra. Make him strong enough to make you heal morethan Gafgarion's Night Sword. After Gafgarion uses his attack,immediately use Chakra. Keep repeating this until your other unitshave killed the other opponents. When they do, let Ramza openthe gate and have your units enter. When they do so, team up onGafgarion. This should make it a lot easier.

Let Ramza learn teleport and set it to him. When it is Ramza'sfirst turn, teleport directly in front of the gate doors (movinghim too far will fail) and defeat the enemies. When you are done,teleport to the other side and open the gate. Then, have all youmen attack him. You should be able to kill Gafgarion very fast.

After you have defeated Gafgarion at the Golgrand Execution battle,buy enough Defense Rings (the ones that cancel Sleep and DeathSentence) for all the members of your party that you usually usein battle. Do not equip them, though. Go to the castle. A littlebar with an arrow pointing at the words "The gate of thecastle" will appear. There you will fight Gafgarion again.After you defeat him, you will be prompted to save. Do so if desired.The character screen will appear. Give everyone the Defense Rings.In this battle you will have to face off with the cardinal ina monster-form. The monster's only ability is a Nightmare attackthat has two effects: Sleep and Death Sentence, with a very occasionalFrog effect. To defeat him quickly, surround then kill him. Despitenot giving you any numbers for the monster's health, the HP barwill still go down.

Hint: Defeating the Silver Ogre:
When first fighting the Silver Ogre, attack his assassinsfirst to end the battle quickly. Try using a Samurai with theNinja's Two Swords ability, preferably using the most powerfulkatana.

Hint: Defeating Wiegraf:
When you face him in Fovoham Plains, use either a maleThief with Steal Heart, a Ninja, a Summoner with an elementalattack, or a Mediator with Persuade, Invitation, or Mimic Daravon.Using Steal Heart or Invitation on his Chocobo or female fightersto make them attack other to the point that Wiegraf will hit themhard for a painful or fatal attack. Use the Ninja for hard hitson him or anyone else. Use a Summoner to severely damage his alliesor him. Mimic Daravom or Persuade will stop Wiegraf from attacking.Do not use a Time Mage's Stop, as it may miss and kill your Mage.

In Orbonne, he will more than likely get the first hit, whichwill render you helpless. Do the same as in Fovoham Plains, orif you are feeling lucky, attack with Leg Aim, Arm Aim, or a StatisSword.

Before entering Riovanes Castle, buy a Chameleon Robe, FeatherBoots, and a good shield. When you get to Wiegraf, equip theseitems; he will not use any Holy abilities or Earth Slash, andwill more than likely miss his counters any Wave Fists. Afterhis Transformation, hit him with Ramza as you will die anyway.Have a Priest and make sure you have learned Shell, Raise, Raise2, Cure, Cure 2, and Cure 3. Use Shell first, and heal and revivewhen necessary. If desired, learn and cast Reraise on yourself.You may use any other characters if desired, but another Priestand an Oracle with Life Drain is recommended. All Lucavi monstersare damaged very much by this spell.

Get Ramza to level 43 and have Knight. Ramza should attack first,and it should do 200 or lower. Then they should talk and you willwin. Do the same with Velius.

Hint: Defeating the undead:
Use a Phoenix Down on anything that is undead to instantlykill it. You can also turn the enemy undead with the Oracle'sskill Zombie then use the Phoenix Down.

Hint: Easy experience:
Have Ramza know Yell, and everyone else Accumulateor some other move that you can use for free every turn. Makesure no one has any form of Counter equipped. Kill all but oneenemy, surround that one, but do not kill him. Use Yell untileveryone is up to maximum speed (50) and then keep using Accumulaterepeatedly to gain EXP and JP.

Once Cid is obtained, get the Equip Sword ability. Equip Cid'ssword, Excalibur, and the Equip Sword ability to someone. Changesomeone else to a fast healing person. (Chemist recommended) Entera battle. At the formation screen, put the person in the frontof the row and the healer beside it. Let that person do the most.It has more of a chance since it is in Haste. Let the healer protectitself and heal the person (if needed) at the same time.

Go to a random battle. Kill all enemies but one. This should bean enemy that cannot heal itself. It will just run away. Haveyour characters attack opponents that can heal themselves (Chocobos,a Monk that knows Chakra, etc.). You can get easy experience andJP. It is time consuming, but useful if you want to learn thingssuch as Lightning Stab quickly.

Learn Accumulate and Move +1 with all your characters. You shouldalso have Battle Boots equipped. Kill all the monsters exceptfor one. Make sure it cannot heal itself. Next, hit the monsteruntil his life is below 10. Then, keep running away and usingAccumulate.

First, get either a Bard (Summoner level 4, Mediator level 4),for the male characters, or a Dancer (Geomancer level 4, Lancerlevel 4) for the female characters, and learn a song/dance thatis quick and will work every time. Make that character any classthat you want to level. Next, get into a random battle and killall the enemies except for one. Bring the enemy down to withina few hit points remaining. Set your people as far away as youcan and use your sing/dance attacks. Watch them rack up experienceand JP points.

Before fighting in the Garrison, make sure your entire party hasAccumulate or something similar that does not require enemiesto get experience. When in the Garrison, kill all of the enemiesbut do not step on the switch to flood the Garrison. Then setthe game so that the CPU does everything. Return later, and theyshould be at a very high level.

Hint: Easy win:
This trick requires Ramza, a monk with Two Swords skill,secondary skill optional (Charge recommended); a male Fighter,Monk with Two Swords skill, steal as secondary skill; a Femalefighter, Archer, Dance as secondary skill (for Nameless Danceonly); Female Fighter, Wizard or Summoner, Math as a secondaryskill; and any special character (Mustadio is best until you getOrlandu). All characters should have Move +2 as a movement skillas well. You find it in the Thief abilities section.

Note: This trick works best with level 99 enemies and uses Level3 Holy as Math Skill. To win a battle with just one attack, havea Priest or a fast Mage with a Speed of 15 or more. Make sureyour Mage is a high level (level 99 recommended) and knows Holyand all the Math Skills. Use the sword duplication trick and equiteverybody (including the Mage) with Excaliber or something thatabsorbs Holy. When in a battle, use Math Skill: Level, Prime Number,Holy. This should attack all the monsters that have a level of99 and attack your team; however your team can absorb the attackand survive.

Hint: Easy JP:
Get in a random battle (early in the game preferably,such as after you leave Igros Castle).You should have three Attackers,and two Chemists or Magicians of your choosing. Have your Attackerstake out all of the enemies except the last one on the screen.Badly injure that enemy to where it is crouching and cowers away.Then, have your Chemists or Magicians move directly next to eachother. Make sure that one of them has either White Magic or Potions.Have them attack each other every turn. When they get low on HP,cure them. Keep at it for about an hour or so. You will more thanlikely be able to get a Summoner. Repeat this trick for the Summoner.When you have finished, you will have an unbeatable Mage. Alsodo this for a Black Mage. Once you have these two in your party(Summoner, and Black Mage), you will be unstoppable.

Start your battle with at least these three people: Oracle withBerserk/Mediator with Insult, Wizard with Frog, and someone withhealing powers. First, turn all of your enemies into frogs. Then,start turning your team into frogs except the Oracle or Mediator.When your team is turned, use your Oracle/Mediator to cast Berserkon them. Then with your remaining character(s), put them on Runlike a Rabbit. This will get them away from the fight and notkill the enemies. You now have characters that can only hit forabout 5 points, will fight on their own, and will not kill eachother quickly. Allow the game to remain this way and return anhour later. You should have gained about 7 levels and have upto 2500 JP. Be careful, because while you cannot control yourcharacter because of Berserk, the enemies are smart and may usea crystal to replenish their life. Check on your team periodically.

First of all, make everyone in your party have the thief abilityto "Steal Heart." Then make your men into the classesyou want them to gain JP in. After that step, have everyone inyour party equip the "Steal" skill. Once you have finishedthose steps take your party into battle (preferably with monsters).Kill all the monsters but one. Save the last one so you can stealits "heart", with everyone in your party, until youget the desired amount of JP and/or experience.

Have Ramza know Yell. Have another character have the Knight'sbattle skills. The Knight needs Power Break and Speed Break. Everyoneelse needs Accumulate. It is a good idea to have a Chemist aswell. Kill every enemy except one. Surround the remaining opponent.Have Ramza, Yell at everyone. Everyone else needs to Accumulate.Have the Knight use Power Break until the opponent's attack poweris one. Then, use Speed Break until their speed is one. Then,have the Knight Accumulate like everyone else. Since your opponent'spower and speed is next to nothing, you can take your time andmaster each character's job class. However, make sure you progressthrough the game accordingly so you can get better equipment tosurvive.

If you only want one person to really get Job Points, then sendonly them into the battle. You will earn about two to five timesas many JP as usual, but they must be strong and not die or thegame will end. Also, try having something weak hit you and haveeither a High Potion, Chakra, or something that heals similarly.Have Punch Art on everyone so they are stronger and can heal themselves.

This only works with jobs that have enough abilities that youcan scroll down the list. First, you need a small amount of jobpoints, just enough to learn one ability. Press Circleto learn it, but when the screen appears to verify the choice,hold Square and press Down or Up (dependingon which direction you are scrolling). If done correctly, anotherability should be highlighted. That ability must be already learnedor you do not have enough JP to learn it. Then, press Circlewhen that other ability is highlighted. If it works, you shouldhave 0000 JP at the top and all the abilities should turn grayor black. Exit out of the learn ability screen and the list ofjob classes screen. You should be back to the screen with "SetAnd Learn Ability". Return to the learning screen of thejob class. You should have 9,999 JP.

Hint: Increased HP:
If you are on low health with your characters, equipthe "Gained JP Up" ability , which is learned from theSquire. Then, learn the "Equip Armor" ability as Knight.Use the "Equip Armor" ability on your character andtheir health should go up. Then, re-equip the "Gained JPUp" ability and your character should still have that maximumHP as if he was still wearing that armor.

Hint: Increased accuracy:
When you have an Archer and the enemy is too closeto fire at, aim a couple squares directly behind him. Your chancesare greater if you do not aim directly at him.

Hint: Decreased character levels:
In Fohovam Plains, there are three traps. One is asteel needle that makes you lose HP, another that puts you tosleep with gas, and the last one is a degenarator. This one decreasesthe level of the character by one permanently. If you are werehaving problem with high levels monsters encounters, this willsolve it.

Hint: Easy ability:
When a human character dies, they may turn into a crystalor an item. If they turn into a crystal, you may be able to learnan ability without using ability points. If there is an entirelist and you choose the skill on the bottom, you will get allof them.

Hint: Easy Brave points:
This trick requires Ramza's Squire skill Cheer Up andScream. Cast Ramza's Guts skill (Squire skill) and Cheer Up (atleast three times) several times on any character. When you finishthe battle, your character will have gained 2 or 3 brave points.If you do Ramza's Guts skill Scream several times (three or more),his brave will raise a lot.

Hint: Duplicate items:
Note: The sword must be stronger than any weapon currentlyavailable or the best fit option must select it. Your charactermust be able to equip shield and sword. Go into any shop and tryfit a weapon in the hand with the shield. This should also getrid of the weapon in the other hand. Best fit the character andexit the fit screen. You should now have another weapon in theinventory. You can also use this trick with the best weapon inthe shop.

Using the duplication trick, you can duplicate any item the characterholds in their hand (all weapons and shields). This works fromthe first battle of the first chapter to the last battle of thegame. First, put the weapon or shield to be duplicated in thebottom hand (no two sword ability). Give your character all youritems that he can equip that has the highest HP, Attack, and Pevade.Go into a shop that has the best weapons or shields that you canequip are weaker than the one you wish to duplicated. If theyare same strength, this will only work if yours is more expensivethan the shop's best. Then, to the "Fitting Room", choosethe character with the item to be duplicated, then choose "Tryit on". Pick the top hand, choose any weapon or shield onthe list. This should make you lose the item in your second hand.Now, choose "Best fit". It should be your original items.Select "OK" to duplicate the item.

Use the following to duplicate weak swords, such as Excalibur.Go to a place that sells only samurai/ninja swords and variousother utilities. Go to the fitting room (for example, with Orlanduhaving Reflect Mail, Bracer, Crystal Shield and Helmet and Excalibur).Try on the best samurai sword available. Use "Best Fit",and instead of getting the samurai sword, you should get Excaliburagain. Check your inventory, and you should have an extra Excalibur.This will work with any other rare weapon or shield that cannotbe bought. Note: This works with any shield weapon, as long asit ends up back in the best fit. However, if it is a Rare weaponand cannot be bought, it will not end up in best fit; only theshop's best. In order to have the rare/best weapon you want toend up back in your hands, it must be equipped when you firstgo in. You should be able to clone as many Gold Estucheons andExcaliburs as desired..

Hint: Obtaining strong weapons:
Enter the Deep Dungeon (or explore around the DeepDungeon) and fight random battles. After awhile a battle witha few male ninjas and one female ninja will begin. The abilitycatch on all of you characters must be present. Kill all of themale ninjas during the beginning of the battle. Then, wait untilthe female ninja throws a weapon (Chaos blade, Nagra rock, etc).Since you have the catch ability on, the weapons will be yours.

When you fight a human in a battle, you can check their status.The game will display what items they have equipped. If you havea thief or steal set on an ally, you can steal from them. Youcan get rare items at the start of the game by using this method.

Hint: Two handed weapons:
Some weapons require both hands. If you have a weaponlike this (except for longbows), teach your character the Samuraiability Two Hands. This will make your already two handed weaponmore powerful.

Hint: Obtaining rare move find items:
When obtaining move find items that are spread throughoutthe game, step on the panel that has the item hidden beneath andlower your brave level. This increases the chances of obtaininga rare item.

Hint: Obtaining Blaze, Blast, Glacier,and Stone Guns easily:
You can get the four special guns by going to GerminasPeak. If you fight enough random battles there, you will eventuallyencounter a group of chemists with a mediator. Make sure thatyou have a thief in your party, because you have to steal theguns from the chemists and mediator. Note: The Stone Gun turnsthe person that has it equipped to stone. Use a Soft or somethingon the user to get or use it.

Hint: Blaze Gun:
Use the following trick to get the Blaze gun earlyand easily in the game. Note: You will need a character with the"Steal Weapon" ability. Play the game until you getto the part where someone poisons all your characters in the desert.Notice that he is armed with a Blaze Gun. Move up to him (behindhim is best), and try to steal his weapon. This should only takea few tries. Then, wipe him out and finish the fight. Note: ANinja with the "Martial Arts" ability works best forthis, as they deal out good damage.

Hint: Golgarand Execution Battle:
Make sure that you have either a Knight with WeaponBreak (preferred) or a Ninja or Thief with Steal Weapon. Whenthe battle screen appears, put Ramza with whoever you desire.On the 2x2 square, put the Knight/Ninja/ Thief with Agrias. Whenthe battle starts, Gafgarion will probably go first. After histurn, use the Knight/Ninja/Thief to try to Steal/Break the BloodSword. If you miss, or it is guarded, restart and try again. Withoutthe Blood Sword, Gafgarion is an easy target. Try and take outthe Archers and Time Mages first, as they have the longest range.To take out the Time Mages, send the Ninja to assassinate them.Once they are gone, go after Gafgarion. When Gafgarion is broughtto critical, he will leave. Now, its just the Knights and you.You could bring down the Ninja (if you have one) and throw thingsor just use Ramza and Agrias. Agrias's Split Punch and SteadySword are useful here. When the battle is done, they all decideto save Olivia, and you will need some things for the next battle.Make sure to pick up some Rubber Shoes, as the Archers in thenext battle are equipped with Lightning Bows. The Element Ballswill also be helpful.

Hint: Strong Ramza/Party Unit without stealing weapons:
Learn the Two Swords skill from the Ninja Class, andgain levels until you get Orlandu and Meliadoul. Then, take bothof their swords. Those are the strongest you can get without doinganything special. Give whoever else has this a Power Wrist, orsomething that increases power. Also, if you are not a Knight,buy the Headgear hat to increase physical attack power by one.Whenever you are fighting with this character, also include aBlack Chocobo in your party. It can be obtained with a Mediator,or by waiting for one from Boco's egg. Get behind an enemy anduse a physical attack. Your character should do 400 damage perstrike.

Hint: Powerful attack party:
Start by making as many people as you can Mediators.Have them learn Praise and Preach. Then, go into battle and killall but one enemy. Have one Mediator use Mimic Daravon on it.Have all your players surround the sleeping enemy. Have them useeither Preach or Praise on one another. Their Faith and Bravewill skyrocket. Repeat this as needed. Praise/Preach equals fourBrave/Faith (lasts until the battle ends) 1 Brave/Faith permanently.Note: Do not increase their Faith over 80 or you get warningsabout them only trusting the Lord, etc. all the time. Use Solutionif this happens.

Hint: Keep Beowulf:
Be sure to get and keep Beowulf. Against any ZodiacDemon, he can cause 500 to 700 damage with his magic sword attackdrain and usually has a percentage of 94%.

Hint: Beowulf's Shock Tech:
In any battle where there are strong enemies, beatBeowulf within 10 to 80 HP and move him accordingly to use Shock.He will kill almost any enemy with one Shock. This works bestif you have a Knight with two swords with Excalibur and any othersword except the Ragnarok or Chaos Blade. Hit Beowulf from behindto bring his health to about 40 or 50. This is very useful inthe Deep Dungeon.

Hint: Viewing class descriptions:
When the game is first loading, allow it to go throughthe story three times. On the third time the game will give descriptionsof all classes except the mime, visuals of male and female unitsattacking, and five major monster classes (chocobo, goblin, ghoul,cougar, and the winged eye-ball).

Hint: Cloning swords:
The sword to be cloned must be weaker than any othersword that can be purchased. First, change your character to aKnight and equip two swords on him or her. Then, equip the swordto be clone in your character's lower hand and a shield in theupper hand. Go to a shop, select best fit, and purchase it. Yourcharacter should now have two of the desired sword.

You can also use this trick to clone rare weapons such as Excalibur.To do this, put an Excalibur in your left hand instead. Orlandu(or T.G.Cid) has the Excalibur.

Hint: Cloning Samurai and Ninja swords:
Note: Orlandu must on your team to perform this trick.The sword to be cloned must be weaker than any other sword thatcan be purchased. Change Orlandu to his primary job and equiptwo swords on him. Then, equip the sword to be clone in the lowerhand and a shield in the upper hand. Go to a shop, select bestfit, and purchase it. Your character should now have two of thedesired sword.

Hint: Stealing items:
To steal items from human characters cast Don't Acton the enemy or Steal from the back. If you steal the enemy'sshield the percentage of you stealing another item from the enemybecomes greater. You can cast Stop on them also, or you can combineall those methods for the best results.

The easiest way to steal items from enemies (as long as they donot have the "Maintenance" ability equipped) is to raiseyour stealer's speed to the maximum. The main thing that determinesyour steal percentage is the character's current speed. If youraise his or her speed to 50, it will put the success rate atabout 75% to 100%. It is even more effective if you combine thiswith one of the strategies listed in one of the above hints.

To always steal and never miss, you must be an Archer that knowsConcentrate. The second action must be Steal, and you must havethe Steal ability that you want to use. Equip Concentrate to yourArcher, which allows the accuracy to be at 100%. Get directlynext to the enemy and use the Steal ability. Since you have Concentrate,your Steal will be 100% and you will always receive what you want.

Hint: Easy items:
When Gafgarion or any other powerful character comesto the party, change their class and take their armor, weapons,and other items.

Hint: Easier item use:
This trick is used to increase item delivery range.Turn the person you want to use the item into a Chemist, and havethe Squire skill Gained JP up. Get into many random battles toget 350 JP. Go to the learn menu and learn Throw Item. This skillis especially useful at the beginning of the game.

Hint: Long range Break skills:
Create a Knight character and learn any or all Breakskills desired. Then, change your job to an Archer (Bows) or aChemist or Mediator (Guns). Set Battle Skill as your secondaryjob command and you can basically snipe the enemy's equipmentand parameters. This also works with Mustadio as an engineer --do not forget to learn the skills.

Hint: Obtaining a powerful party:
At the start of the game, make sure every person has70 or higher Brave and 70 or higher Faith. If they do not, removethem and gain characters with those stats from the soldier office.When working up jobs, do not change anyone's job until he or shehas mastered it. Under no condition do you change their jobs.Later, when you have a Mediator or two (preferably), make theirevery turn using either "Preach" or "Praise"either on themselves or others. Even though after the battle theylose a lot of their Faith or Brave that were built up, their maximumwill still increase quite a bit. Note that most women are betterwith magic than men. If at all possible, always make the womenmaster the magical classes, and the men the physical classes.About level 20 or so, you will have a party with incredible strength.

Hint: Raise Worker Faith:
You can raise the Worker 8 Faith using the Mediatorability Preach. Each time you use this ability, Worker 8 faithwill be raised by one permanently. Though Faith changes from zero,he will remain innocent.

Hint: Powerful Monk:
At the very beginning of the game, keep Ramza as aSquire and make sure he learns Accumulate. When he learns thatand whatever other desired abilities, turn him into a Monk andequip Guts as is second ability so you can still use Accumulate.In battle against a Boss, use Accumulate as many times as youcan. When you attack, you will take off about 200 damage insteadof only 15 to 30. At the end of the game, repeat this and youshould be able to take off severe amounts of damage, killing almostall monsters with one hit. This trick also works with Orlandu,and it also boosts their Monk attacks.

Select a male Squire and have a Mediator use Praise or somethingsimilar to raise Bravery until it is 99 or 100 at the end of thebattle. He will keep approximately 1 Bravery point every timeyou praised him. This also works with Faith, but at level 99 heor she will leave the party for religious reasons. When he has99 Bravery, give him the Two Swords ability and make him a Monk.Give him a bracer and he should be doing 899 to 999 damage perhit, even to Bosses. Also, high faith will make your Mages verypowerful.

Make your main character a monk with the Equip Armor Support SkillAuto Potion (on X-potion) on the Reaction Skill move, Hp Up asmovement skill, and as a secondary skill, the Mastered LancersJump ability. You will have a nearly unstoppable character.

Hint: Powerful Ninja:
First, change your job to Monk and remain in that classuntil you have enough JP to learn Martial Arts. Next, become aNinja and set the circular arrow symbol for Martial Arts. Thisis better if your character has some kind of gauntlet or an itemthat increases power. Because you are a Ninja, you can attacktwice, dealing serious damage that is usually more powerful thanmost ninja swords.

If you have a Ninja, put him in the Samurai class and learn theEquip Knife ability. Set the ability on the circular arrow andturn the character back into a Ninja. This works best in the Chapters3 and 4, as there are better Samurai Knives available. Equip thebest Samurai Swords you can afford on your Ninja. Since the Ninjahits an enemy twice, they can do an extreme amount of damage.At level 75, it can do about 275 points of damage with each blow,which is equal to 550 in all.

Hint: Powerful Ninja-Knight:
This trick is lengthy but is worth the effort. Earlyin the game, train a Ninja (Archer 3, Thief 4, Geomancer 2). Stickwith it until you master the Ninja class. Since you have masteredthe Ninja, you will know the "Two Sword" ability, whichis a universal skill and allows any class to wield two weapons.Change your mastered Ninja into a Knight. Make sure the knighthas "Two Weapon" ability equipped. Then, acquire theChaos Blade and use the "Duplicate sword" trick. Youshould now have a Knight equipped with two Chaos Blades, doingabout 1600 to 1800 damage (over 850 each hit).

Hint: Powerful Ramza:
First, make a Ramza/Party Unit a Ninja. Get them tolearn the Two Swords abilty. Then, turn them into a Monk. Equipthe Two Swords ability, but do not equip any weapons. This willdouble the Monk's Powerful attack; he will punch twice. If youget good Move + techniques, it will make it even better. All otherabilities can be your choice. The Equip Armor ability, learnedby being a Knight is recommended so that you can have a solidoffense and defense.

This trick requires items from the Deep Dungeon but can be doneto a lesser extent without them. Set up Ramza as follows: Class:Squire, LH: Excalibur, JA: Guts, RH: Venetian Plate, JA: MathSkill, H: Your choice, RA: Abandon, AR: Robe of Lords, SA: MagicAttack Up, AC: Feather Mantle, MA: Move+3 or Teleport. Suggestedhelmets are the Grand Helmet (for HP), Thief Hat (for speed, canceldo not move/do not act), or Flash Hat (for speed and magic). TheVentian Plate with Abandon prevents physical attacks entirelyfrom the front or side. Enemies will not even attempt an attack.It also lowers the enemies' chances of a magic attack to 20% fromthe front or side (assuming neutral zodiac). With the FeatherMantle, their best chance to attack you is from behind, but withAbandon they only have a 20% chance at a physical attack and a40% for a magical attack. The Ventian Plate also gives you halfdamage to fire/lightning/ice attacks. The Excalibur not only absorbsHoly, it strengthens it; and with the magic attack up will dosome nasty damage to enemies or some nice healing to you. Note:If your other characters' job class allow it, put them in ChameleonRobes which also absorbs Holy and cost 5000G at most stores. Also,between the Excalibur and Robe Of Lords you are Auto Hasted, AutoProtected and Auto Shelled. You almost cannot be hit. You areprotected/shelled with elemental protection/absorption and cando large amounts of physical and magical damage.

Hint: Powerful Samurai/Knight:
When you complete the necessary job levels to becomea Samurai you should learn Two Hands. Turn back into a Knight,equip the Two Hands ability, and get the best sword you can inyour chapter. It should raise your hitting power twice or higher.

Hint: Powerful Samurai/Ninja:
Note: This strategy can be used with Ramza. First,use him as a Samurai. Make sure you learn all his skills, includingBlade Grasp and all the Draw Out skills. Then, switch him overto Ninja, set the Draw Out skills on him, along with Blade Graspand Equip Knife and a Movement Skill of your choice (skills thatincrease your movement such as Move +1, +2, etc. are recommended).Once you learn all his skills as a Ninja, he will be quite unstoppable.Throw a something that increases damage on his accessory, andequip Samurai Swords on him. You will have a very fast powerfulhitter that can Shell/Protect, Haste/Regen, and heal your party,as well as attack one and/or many enemies at the same time. Ifyou do not have any qualms with duplicating swords, create a fewof the Masamunes and Chirijiradens once you get them.

Hint: Powerful Ninja/Knight/Samurai:
Get a Ninja and teach him the Draw Out skill. Thenteach your Ninja Equip Sword. You will now have Draw Out, TwoSwords technique, and you have two Knight Swords. If you are lowon health, use Draw Out.

Hint: See Deep Dungeon without Light Crystals:
Have one of your characters learn the Lancer SkillsLevel Jump 8 and Vertical Jump 8. Take that character as a Lancerinto the Deep Dungeon. When the Lancer's AT appears, select theJump ability. In red highlight, you can now see half of the DeepDungeon, as well as the map. Being a Lancer also lets you pickoff enemies before they can harm you, which gives you a perfectopportunity to find all the treasures and the gate to the nextlevel.

To see the entire Deep Dungeon level, have someone in your partylearn the Time Mage skill. Teleport and equip it to the character.Enter the Deep Dungeon with that character and whenever it ishis or her turn to move, the entire floor of the level will berevealed. You can do this with as many characters in your partyas desired.

When you are in the Deep Dungeon, you can see the entire fieldby having the Teleport ability learned by Time Mages. Equip it,go to the Deep Dungeon, and choose the command Move. The wholefield will be shown in blue.

Hint: Super battle:
To get to the hardest battle in the game, go to BariousHill with one of your characters at level 99. Sometimes, you willfight a Hyudra, King Behemoth, Dark Behemoth, Hydra, some typeof Dragon, and sometimes an Apanda, Black Chocobo, or Red Chocobo.All of them will be at level 99.

To get the hardest battle in the game, go to Barius Hill witha level 99 character included in your squad. Also, nobody in yoursquad can have the Monster Talk ability. This is the only waythey will show up in almost always every battle in Barius Hill.

Hint: Drowning your party:
When fighting in the Garrison, place your party infront of the drawbridge. Take Ramza up to the top, and open thedrawbridge. Water will Flood out, and when it is all clear, yourparty and everyone in the way will be gone. This is not permanent,and it just appears as if they were all flooded away.

Hint: Recommended abilities:
One of the first abilities that your Squires shouldlearn early in the game is Gained JP Up. It is only 200 JP.
