B O S S F A Q +=====+=====+=====+=====+======+=====+=====+=====+=====+=====+=====+ It should be noted that when I played this game I had a tendency to build up quite a bit before moving onto the next quest..so just because a boss was easy for me doesn't mean it'll be easy for you. --------------------------------------- MIST DRAGON CAVE OF MIST --------------------------------------- This boss is easy to defeat. Have Cecil do his regular attacks, and have Kain do his Jump attack. Once the Mist Dragon changes into mist form, cease your attacks..attacking Mist while in mist form will cause the dragon to counter attack so just parry in the meantime. As soon as the dragon switches out of mist form have both party members attack like normal. Repeat until Mist Dragon is defeated. --------------------------------------- OFFICER AND SOLDIERS KAIPO --------------------------------------- The only thing boss about this fight is the music. This battle is simple, focus all your energy on the soldiers, once the soldiers are defeated the officer will feel like a girly man. If you want however, you can start focusing on the officer first then the soldiers..that way you can gain a little extra experience points. --------------------------------------- OCTOMAMM WATERY PASS --------------------------------------- What I'd like to consider your first real boss, Octomann is a relatively simple kill. Have Cecil attack Octomamm, Rydia should be using LIT1, Tellah should use LIT1 or heal the party with CURE whenever needed. Finally have Kain do his jump attacks on him. Repeat until defeated. ---------------------------------------- ANTLION ANTLION CAVE ---------------------------------------- Antlion isn't too hard of a boss either, the only attack you need to worry about is the COUNTER attack, which is unavoidable. Each time you physically attack Antlion he'll counter. Edward should be the healer in this battle, Rydia should use her summon CHOCO, and Cecil should use his physical attack. -------------------------------- WATERHAG KAIPO -------------------------------- The only reason this fight is even considered a fight is because Edward is such a puss. Anyway, Edward will fight this one alone, simply have him focus his physical attacks on the Waterhag, and nothing else. The enemy should go down in no time. --------------------------------- MOMBOMB MT.HOBS --------------------------------- The first form of this boss isn't too hard, just focus all your fighting power onto it. Rydia should use her summon, Cecil Physical attacks, Rose can heal the party or fight your decision. It is also important to have Yang use his standard attack rather than his kick, Edward can be a healer or a fighter as well. Once you defeated the first form, the MOMBOMB will burst into 6 seperate bombs. Here you'll want to have Yang use his kick attack, have Rosa or Edward heal the party, Cecil should always attack, Rydia should continue to use her summon. Make sure no character gets in a low state in the battle because eventually the bombs will explode and try to take one of you with it. -------------------------------- MILON MT.ORDEALS -------------------------------- This battle shouldn't be too much of a struggle, Milon and his undead friends are all weak against fire. If possible have Palom use FIRE2 on all enemies, have Tellah use FIRE1 on Milon or heal when needed. The other twin (Porom) should heal the party members when needed. Cecil use his good ol' trusty sword against Milon. If you do have FIRE2 this battle won't be much of a struggle. As an alternative strategy for those of you who don't have FIRE2, have the twins use Twin, and have Tellah heal your party instead. Cecil should fight. It is recommended that you immediately go back to your save point once you defeat MILON's first form. --------------------------------- MILON Z. MT. ORDEALS --------------------------------- Ahhh isn't Milon in his afterlife form so adorable? Milon is now a little more of a challenge, your strategy shouldn't change, with the exception you now need to heal your allies every once and awhile since he can poison your characters. --------------------------------- DRK. KNIGHT MT. ORDEALS --------------------------------- This isn't a boss fight per-say, but you can be defeated rather easily if you don't know how to defeat him. How do you defeat him you ask? simple. YOU DON'T! Use parry 3 or 4 times and the battle will be over. However, if you really do want to defeat DRK. KNIGHT you can, just watch your HP and get ready for a difficult battle. ---------------------------- GUARD BARON ---------------------------- Easy battle here, just watch out for their size spell. Try saving magic for your next boss following these guys, so use physical attacks. ---------------------------- YANG BARON ---------------------------- Poor Yang must be brainwashed, time to put him in his place. Tellah should use LIT3, Palom use FIRE2, Porom the healer, and Cecil should be the physical attacker. YANG won't be too difficult if you can mount an effective attack before he does. ---------------------------- BAIGAN BARON CASTLE ---------------------------- Difficult boss, Baigan can use wall on himself and his arms have some powerful attacks as well. Your first focus should be both arms of the opponent. Do NOT use magic on Baigan himself, it will just reflect back at you and possibly kill you. Palom should use FIRE2 on one arm at a time, Tellah should use one of his Level 3 elemental spells on another arm, Porom should heal, and Cecil should attack. Once both arms are down, let Baigan have it, physically attack him until you are sure that his Wall is gone. If the wall is gone feel free to use your allies most powerful magic. ----------------------------- KAINAZZO BARON CASTLE ----------------------------- The only problem with this boss is his powerful wave attack, So be prepared to have Porom heal your characters. See that water around Kainazzo? Tellah should use LIT3 on him, Palom should use VIRUS if applicable. Cecil should be using his main power...you guessed it..his physical attacks. ------------------------------ DARK ELF MAGNETIC CAVE ------------------------------ The first portion of the battle you're objection is to loose, yes I SAID LOSE! Once your allies get weak, Edward will start playing a tune that removes the metallic seal on the cave momentarily...in which you need to switch to your REAL weapons and re-enter the fight. Tellah should be the healer in this battle, Cecil/Cid/Yang should all physically attack the Dark Elf. This battle shouldn't be too hard. ---------------------------------- Sandy,Cindy,Mindy Tower of Zot ---------------------------------- This fight is easy, the first sister to go down should be Cindy (center one), Tellah should be the healer this round. Cecil and Yang should do their usual physical damage. After the center sister is defeated, focus on Sandy (tall skinny one) and finally finish it off with Mindy (short one). ---------------------------------- VALVALIS Tower of Zot ---------------------------------- Valvalis can be difficult because of her magics, which include Weak and Ray. If Vavalis is in her whirlwind form, have Kain jump attack her. Have Cecil/Yang/Cid attack physically as well. Rosa should be the healer, as she has no weapons equipped. ------------------------------------------- CAL & BRENA/CALBRENA Castle of Dwarves ------------------------------------------- First off this battle is time limited, so defeat the six dolls as quickly as possible. Cecil should attack, Kain should jump, Yang can either do his regular attack or kick its up to you. Rose should use her AIM tatics in this one considering it is time limited. If you by chance failed on the 6 dolls, the dolls transform into Calbrena (big doll) which is much stronger than the orignal 6 dolls. If this happens Rosa now needs to be the healer, Kain should jump, Cecil fight, and Yang fight. If you still don't defeat it, it will convert back to 6 dolls again, this cycle repeats until you have defeated one of the forms. -------------------------------------------- GOLBEZ/SHADOW Castle of Dwarves -------------------------------------------- Your mission, should you choose to accept is to lose...yes once again you will LOSE..temperarily of course. Golbez will paralyze your entire party and Shadow will kill each party member one by one until Cecil is still left standing. Just when you think its over, the Mist Dragon comes in and attacks! Your party is healed, and Rydia appears with new skills. Rydia should use her Titan Summon, and Cecil should attack. Golbez should be down in no time. --------------------------------------------- DR. LUGAUE, BLANAB Tower of Bab-il --------------------------------------------- Your first focus should be Dr. Lugae, use physical attacks, have Rydia use her magic attacks on him. Once defeated, focus on his little creation Blanab. This battle should be easy. --------------------------------------------- DR. LUGAUE (ALT. FORM) Tower of Bab-il --------------------------------------------- More difficult than the last, Lugaue will now use poison against your party members. Have Cecil and Yang attack...have Kain do his jumping ability. Rydia can use Virus to suck some serious HP off of him. Repeat until term-ah-nated. ------------------------------------------ King Eblan, Queen Eblan Cave Eblana ------------------------------------------ This is considered a boss fight, but all you need to do is parry, eventually they will snap out of their current state. Keep your party healed, and just wait patiently. ------------------------------------------ Rubicant Cave Eblana ------------------------------------------ Hopefully you are reading this before you are in the fight, anyway I highly recommend you equip ice-based weapons, specifically for Kain and Cecil as they will do some great deal of damage against Rubicant. In the battle have Kain jump, Cecil attack, Rosa heal, Edge use Flood, Rydia use a Ice-based element or summon (Shivia). When Rubicant is cloaked he cannot take damage. ------------------------------------------ EVIL WALL Sealed Cave ------------------------------------------ The evil wall is not a easy battle. Time is your enemy in this battle, you should have Cecil use his attacks ASAP, Kain should do his Michael Jordan manuveurs (Jump) and Edge should dart some of the items that have been picked up along the way. Once Edge is out of objects to through just have him attack. Rosa should be either healing the party members, casting slow on the wall or casting fast on allies. Rydia will be most effective by using Virus, while it doesn't do as much damage as some of her summons do, it is much quicker than summoning. +---------------------+ | SIDE QUEST BOSSES | +----------------------------------------------------------+ You don't need to get these bosses, but it is HIGHLY recommended you do especially Bahamut as he is vital later in the game. It's up to you to decide. --------------------------------------------------------- ASURA *SIDE BOSS OPTIONAL* Land of Summoned Monsters --------------------------------------------------------- Asura is a optional summon for Rydia. You can fight her if you wish, but its completely optional as stated. I highly recommend you don't try to fight Asura if you don't have Wall. Asura isn't too hard of an enemy if you have Wall on Rosa. Rosa should cast Wall immediately on Asura to prevent her from healing herself constantly. Rosa should heal when needed, Cecil should attack, Rydia should use her summon attacks, Edge should attack. ----------------------------------------------------------- Leviation *SIDE BOSS OPTIONAL* Land of Summoned Monsters ----------------------------------------------------------- Edge should use Blitz, Rydia can either heal the party (Asura), attack with LIT2/3 or INDRA Summon. Rosa should be the primary healer, Cecil should attack. Repeat until Leviatan is dead, and watch for the Big Wave Attack, it takes good damage of your allies, Have Rosa ready to heal at all times. ----------------------------------------------- BAHAMUT *SIDE BOSS OPTIONAL* Cave Bahamut ----------------------------------------------- At the beginning of the round Bahamut will start a countdown to..well you guessed it..your death. Your #1 priority is to cast Wall on all your party members with Rosa or Fusoya if applicable. Have Cecil physically attack, Rydia should use Leviation, Edge should attack. Once the countdown is done Bahamut will show his awesome power and blast MEGANUKE at you, but with your wall up it won't do a thing to you. Now you have another 10 countdown, you must defeat him this time or he will MEGANUKE you again and WALL will be ineffective. -------------------------------------------- ODIN *SIDE BOSS OPTIONAL* Baron Castle -------------------------------------------- Odin isn't too difficult of a boss to defeat if you are leveled up quite a bit that is. Odin will sit idle for awhile and attack you with wimpy attacks, the faster you attack the better off you are. Use your most powerful spells and attacks against ODIN. If you wait to long he will inflict some major damage to all allies (4,000+) and probably kill you. ----------------------------- ELEMENTS The Giant ----------------------------- You should have at least if not more than 2000HP on Cecil before you enter this battle. Optimal should be 2,500 to 2,600HP to make this match much easier. Your first matchup is against Milon Z., very easy battle. Edge should use Flame, Fusoya use FIRE3, Rydia summon JINN, Cecil should attack, and Rosa should heal. Milon Z. should be dead in a minute..LITERALLY! Second up is Mr. Rubicant. Cecil should attack, Edge should use Flood, Rydia use Shiva, and Fusoya use ICE 3. Rosa should heal as needed. Third is KAINAZZO, use all LIT-based attacks against this guy, Edge (Blitz), Rydia (LIT3/INDRA), Fusoya (LIT3). Rosa heals, Cecil fights. Finally, Vavalis is your final element. Make sure you watch your HP, as her magic STORM will leave everyone with very few hit points. Cecil and Edge should both fight, Rydia should use her most powerful summon spell and Rosa should heal. ------------------------------------------------ CPU, DEFENDER, ATTACKER The Giant ------------------------------------------------ The first thing that'll happen is the CPU will cast Wall on itself. Have Rydia use Bahamut, have Cecil/Edge focus their energy on defeating the Defender, leaving the ATTACKER alone. Bahamut will effectively go through Wall in case you are wondering. +------------------------------------------+ |OPTIONAL BOSS TREASURES IN THE MOON'S CORE| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- These are essentially optional bosses, but they are highly recommended that you defeat them because they carry the most powerful items in the game with the exception of the super rare ones. ----------------------------------------------------- PALE DIM Lunar Subterrain (B3) ----------------------------------------------------- Cast FLOAT before entering this battle to protect against Pale Dim's main attack, QUAKE! Cecil/Edge should attack, Kain should jump, Rosa should be the healer of the crew, and Rydia should blast out Bahamut if at all possible. ---------------------------------------------------- WYVERN Lunar Subterrain (B6) ---------------------------------------------------- Highly recommended that you are at least LV.51 (cecil) before fighting Wyvern(he guards the crystal sword on B6 with the secret path). Wyvern will have a bad tendency to accidently MEGANUKE you right off the start of the battle, leaving you dead almost instantly. You need to make sure you keep Rosa alive and have her heal your party with CURE 4 EVERY turn. Cecil should attack, Rydia should use Bahamut, Kain should Jump, and Edge should attack. -------------------------------------------------- D. Lunar Lunar Subterrain (B7) -------------------------------------------------- D. Lunar's counter attack everything with fire, you should use Rosa to heal, Rydia needs to use a call spell since obviously the wall will reflect any black magic. Cecil should attack, Kain Jump, and Edge Attack. -------------------------------------------------- Plague Lunar Subterrain (B7) -------------------------------------------------- Ready, Set, 10 seconds YOUR DEAD! Plague starts the battle with casting count on every party member, giving you "10 seconds" (probably more like 30) to defeat him. Use White if Rosa has it, Have Cecil fight, have Kain Jump, have Rydia Nuke or use Bahamut on him. Plague will not attack you other than that one spell, good luck! ---------------------------------------------- OGOPOGO Moon's Core L1 ---------------------------------------------- Before starting this battle I recommend you do the duplication item cheat on Cecil's Excalibur so that Edge can throw them during this fight. This is NOT an easy battle. Ogopogo uses a double big wave attack that can take thousands of HP points away from he entire party. Have Rosa heal the party members, and revive anyone that needs it. Rydia should use Bahamut, Cecil should attack, and Edge should Dart Excaliburs at him, or attack. Kain should do his Jump attack of course. +------------------------------+ | ZEROMUS | +------------------------------+ This is it, the FINAL boss in Final Fantasy II. The first thing you need to do is have Cecil (NOT ANYONE ELSE) use the Crystal so you can inflict damage on him. When the crystal is used he will transform into his true self. Rosa MUST MUST MUST always heal your party, when Zeromus uses his BIG BANG spell it will inflict 1,500 to 3,000 HP loss on ALL allies. Rydia can either use Meteo or Bahamut (if Meteo is available). Have Edge dart Excaliburs at Zeromus. You can also take the risk of getting Dark Matter by having Edge attempt to "Sneak" Dark Matter from Zeromus which will reduce the amount of damage Big Bang does to everyone. Zeromus can also use whats called BLACK HOLE which will completely take off any positive effects of magic on your party. After a good 20 to 30 minute battle Zeromus will perish and you will have beat the GAME! +=====+=====+=====+=====+======+=====+=====+=====+=====+=====+=====+ II. S E C R E T S F A Q +=====+=====+=====+=====+======+=====+=====+=====+=====+=====+=====+ Final Fantasy II has the most difficult secrets to achieve..I can't say the most difficult, rather you must have the most patience to get these secrets achieved. +--------------------------------------+ | The Pink Tail Theory : Adamant Armor | +------------------------------------------- So you think that EXCALIBUR weapon you have is bad-ass huh? How about a armor that makes you nearly invincible and 90% of hits don't hit you? thats right its the Adamant Armor. In order to get the adamant armor it must be made by a black smith and in order for the black smith to get his materials...you get the picture you need the Pink Tail. The Adamant Armor can be equipped by Edge, Cecil or Kain..and you can get more than one if you wish..hahaha! The pink tail is obtained in a room in the Lunar Subterrain, Level B5. Right before you go down to B6 there is a room to the right of the ladder inside the room is a chest with a cabin..in this room is you must find the enemy Pink Puff, finding one isn't an easy choir, and either is defeating them. You have a 1/64 chance of encountering a Pink Puff in this room, and another 1/64 chance that the Pink Puff will drop the infamous Pink Tail. Right there leads you with the 1/4096 chance of running into one AND having it drop the pink tail..Good luck. DRAFT OF THE PINK TAIL LOCATION / _________ |\_________/ | | --- | | | | --- | _ | | _ / | | |___| |__| < THE ROOM |__| |__/ | |_ / |_|_________ /\___ ____________________/ |_| < STAIRS|______/ ____________ _| | _| |_ | XX| XX = CHEST WITH | __| CABIN | _| | | < THIS IS THE ROOM DESIGN |____ ______| FOR THE PINK TAIL |_| +-------------------+ |THE "LOST" SUMMONS | +--------------------------------- The lost summons consist of 5 different summons that are very hard to get, but are also worth it. You can do this at any point of the game, in fact you can actually get the Imp Summon at the beginning of the game if you tried hard enough. Here's a list of the summons and how to get them: IMP - IMPPUNCH: Not a very powerful summon, a Imp will appear and strike one enemy. You can get this summon by fighting Imps, Imp Caps, Black Imp or Trickers. BARON AREA, LUNAR SUBTERRAIN BOMB - EXPLODE: A sacrifical summon, Rydia will die and at the same time will inflict twice the damage as her HP on all enemies. This can be obtained by fighting Bombs, Gray Bombs, Balloons, Grenades. MT. HOBS, THE MOON MAGE - MINDBLAST: The Mage will suck the MP out of all enemies and will distribute it throughout the party. Obtained by defeating a Mage. MAGNETIC CAVE COCATRIS - GORGON: A Summon that allows Rydia to turn a target to stone. found by defeating Eagle, Cocatris, Roc Baby. AREA OF EBLAN CASTLE,BARON AREA In case I didn't elaberate, you gain an item from these enemies that allows you to summon them. With the exception of this special case: SYLPH - WIND: Summon that summons fairies that will drain the HP from enemies and distribute it amoungst party members. In order to get Sylph you must go to the Sylvan Cave and discover Yang. Once you discover Yang go back to Fabul Castle and talk to Yang's Wife, Yang's Wife will give you a frying pan, go back to Sylph and wake him up. Talk to the Sylphs and you should be able to get their summoning abilities. +-------------------+ | Getting Excalibur | -------------------------- Excalibur is second only to crystal sword in terms of strength. To get this sword you need to get the Rat Tail from the Land of Summon Monster's little village. It is found in a treasure chest there. Now go to the cave by silveria and give him the rat tail, you now will get the adamant. Take it to the dwarf smith in the underground world, in which he will forge the excalibur for you. +-------------------+ | ITEM DUPLICATION | -------------------------- This is a very useful trick or cheat whichever you want to call it, this will duplicate a weapon..it won't duplicate everything. - Start a Battle - Select Items - Put the cursor on a empty space in your inventory, press A. - Now with the second cursor go up to the equipped items, select the item you wish to copy and press A. - Press B, and run from battle (L + R) - Now open the status screen on the map (X), go to equip of the person you just unequipped weapons for. - Select the empty Equip slot, then go down to the empty space you put the weapon in the first place then press A. - You'll now have 2 of that weapon, congrats! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Copyright paranoidxe 2003 - 2004
