2. The Mines Of Narshe You wake up in a house. An old man (named Arvis) tells ????? (Terra) about the slave crown and the Empire. You name Terra and Guards of Narshe come to the door. Terra escapes through the Mines of Narshe. When you get to the top the guards kick Terra down some loose ground. She has a flashback of Kefka and the empire and falls unconscious. Now Locke comes to Arvis's house. Arvis calls Locke a thief. Here you name Locke. Locke tells Arvis he is a TREASURE HUNTER and goes to rescue Terra. When he gets to her (automatic) a guard comes with monsters. Locke comments about there being a bunch of them and Moogles come. They join Locke in three groups. You can switch between them by pressing the Y button. Once you fight all the monsters you fight the guard with two henchmen. Beat him and you automatically go to the front of Narshe. Go into the classroom (the only building you can go into) and save, get the chests and some information, and heal yourself. Leave and go to the south to Figaro Castle.

3. Figaro Castle Here you go STRAIGHT up. Once you're all the way to the top talk to the king. When you talk to him Terra and he will talk a bit and you get to name him (Edgar is his name in the game) He tells you to explore the castle. Do that! You can get a bit of treasure. After getting all the treasure you can go to the southwest of the Throne Room. Then go down the stairs and to the left to go to another section of the castle. Talk to the matron and you see a flashback. Name Sabin (he doesn't join you yet) and go back to the Throne Room. Heeeere's Kefka! No you get to CONTROL EDGAR. but just for a second. Talk to Kefka and he talks to you. After that talk to Locke. You talk a bit. Then follow Locke (in other words do the same as you did before only on the other side). Talk to Locke again and you get Edgar again. Now talk to the guard of the castle. Watch the scene and fight the Magitek Armor. Use Auto Crossbow (Edgar has it) and have Terra use Fire Magic (Locke and Edgar do a short scene if you use magic!). Have Locke steal a potion from both of them. After that you get your first ride on the Chocobo! Have fun! Now go to Figaro Cave.

4. Figaro Cave Go through it (no problems here) and head toward South Figaro.

5. South Figaro Buy some junk there and head toward Mt. Kolts.

6. Mt. Kolts Fight your way through and get to Vargas There's some good treasure here so get it! Once you get to him he talks and you fight him. Beat him up and Sabin comes. Have him use Pummel and you win. Then leave Mt. Kolts and head to the Returner Hideout.

7. Returner Hideout Buy items here. If you missed it in South Figaro, buy the Sprint Shoes! You can run faster in towns, caves, etc! Then talk to Banon. You wake up with Terra in your party alone. Talk to all the other characters and get the treasure. Up in the northwest corner keep walking into the wall on the right and you find a path to the White Cape! It prevents some bad magic from doing anything to you and ups your defense! After all that talk to Banon. Say NO when he asks you if you want to help them. Now talk to the man in the northwest corner again. He gives you a Gengi Glove! Equip it with somebody who has lots of defense- you can't equip a shield but you can use two weapons! Now talk to Banon again and say YES. Watch the scene and you're on the Lete River! (BTW, Locke goes to South Figaro to hold the Imperial Soldiers off.)

8. Lete River You're on a raft here. When the game asks you which way go straight then right. Save at the second spot on the river and keep going. You fight Ultros. Beat him up and keep going (without Sabin! Awwww!)

9. Three Groups Mog appears here (kupo!) and he asks you to pick a group. Pick one (Locke, Sabin or Terra) and you're off with them! (the order will be Locke's scenario, Sabin's Scenario and Terra's Scenario)

5. South Figaro First go to the item shop. Fight the merchant and use the STEAL command. You steal a plumed hat and his clothes! Now he runs and you have a plumed hat and the merchant's clothes. Re-equip Locke and go to the house. The boy will let you through the passage if you're wearing the merchant's clothes. Go to the caf?. Fight another merchant in the basement and you get his cider. Now go back to the boy's house. Talk to the old man on the first floor and go back down. Tell the boy the password is COURAGE and go through the secret passage. Go to the top floor and go through the first door. Walk behind the bookshelf and save your game. FINALLY! After here, go to the first door (that was in the second door). Name the former Empire General (who is named Celes) and go in. Talk to her and remove her chains. Watch them talk and take the soldier's key. Use it in the third door (by winding the clock!). Leave the maze (getting the treasure) and go to Figaro Cave.

4. Figaro Cave Go through healing yourself at the recovery spring. Go to the exit and fight Tunnel Armor. Beat it and you're done with the scenario! Pick another group and you're on your way!

10. House on the Veldt Here talk to Shadow (who you might have named at South Figaro). If you haven't named him yet, do it now. Hire him and you have a group of two (Sabin and Shadow)! Now go to the Imperial Base (which I call from here on Doma Castle).

11. Doma Castle Go as far as you can go down, watching the scenes on the way. Then you go to the real Doma Castle. You now name the retainer to the king (Cyan). You fight with him alone against the commander of the soldiers. Beat him and it's back to the imperial base. Keep walking, fighting Kefka along the way. After going all the way to the left fight the soldiers. Watch the scenes and fight the soldiers with Cyan. Keep going and you get to control Magitek Armor for the first time since the beginning of the game! All right! Fight the enemies and get outta there! Now keep walking down until you get to the forest.

12. Phantom Forest/Train Fight through the forest. Once you get to the train, though, be more careful! Go way to the left, grabbing treasures along the way. Get way to the left (after saving of course!) and push the first and third pressure valves in the engine. Press the switch in the outside of the train and you fight it. Beat it up and you leave. Watch the scene and go to Baron Falls!

13. Baron Falls Shadow will leave you if he already hasn't. Go down the waterfall, fighting monsters along the way (automatic except for the fights). At the end you fight Rizopas (or something like that). Beat him and you're on the Veldt!

14. The Veldt You meet another character here. Name him (Gau) and go to Mobliz. 15. Mobliz Buy dried meat here. Nothing else. yet!

15. The Veldt Fight until you meet Gau again. DO NOT FIGHT HIM. Instead give him the dried meat. He will talk and join you. Now go to the south and Crescent Mountain.

16. Crescent Mountain Walk around and you run into Gau's "Treasure." Jump into the Serpent Trench and off you go!

17. Serpent Trench Pick paths (the best is right-right ). You end up at Nikeah. 18. Nikeah Buy junk and go on the ship. FINALLY it's the end of Sabin's Scenario! Pick the one scenario left and go for it!

1. Narshe Go through the secret entrance Locke showed you earlier. Walk through the path and you're done! Simplest part of the game- not even a boss!

2. Narshe The group is together again. Now watch the scene and form three groups of the characters you have (Terra, Locke, Edgar, Sabin, Celes, Cyan and Gau). Fight Kefka's men and get to Kefka with the best group. (IMHO Edgar, Sabin and Cyan) Watch the cinema scene where Terra disappears, form a group and off you go: the Search for Terra!

3. Figaro Castle Go to the place where there is an old man and a stairway leading down. Talk to the man and you go to the town of Kohligen.

19. Kohligen Do not buy your junk here! If you want to, though, sign Shadow up (for 3000 GP). Go north (the very top of the continent) and grab a Chocobo. Ride to the south, toward Jidoor.

20. Jidoor Buy your junk here instead. If you don't find what you are looking for, go back to Kohligen and buy it there. Now head north from Jidoor, toward Zozo.

21. Zozo Go to the building with the "Inn" sign on it. Set the time here (check the SECRETS section for the time). Now go to the tallest building in the town. Go up and up and up. After a while, jump between building to building. Once you get back to the main building, continue going up. At the top you run into Dalduma. Beat him up and keep going to the top room. Talk to Terra and Ramuh (an esper!) comes. He tells you about the empire, espers, magic and Terra. Watch the scene and form a group with Locke and Celes. Now go back to Jidoor. Oh yeah, equip the espers you get (Ramuh, Kirin, Siren and Stray) because they give you MAGIC!

20. Jidoor Go to the biggest house in the town. Talk to the man there and read his letter. Now you name the wandering gambler (Setzer). Now go down to the Opera house (without Shadow or you will be stuck with three characters!).

22. The Opera House Talk to the man again (who I shall call the Director of Music). Watch the scene and you control Locke alone. Walk to the room Celes went into. Now you control Celes. She is pretending to be Maria, the lead opera singer, for Setzer is going to capture her. Since Setzer is the owner of the world's only airship (which they need to get to the empire), they will have Celes (who gets captured by Setzer) lead them straight to the airship. OK, enough about Setzer, let's get back to the game. The lyrics for the opera are "Oh My Hero", "I'm The Darkness", and "Must I". Then Celes dances with Prince Ralse and goes on the balcony. She throws a flower and you get back to controlling Locke. Now read the letter from Ultros. Watch the scene (long!) and RUN! Go to the room on the right, push the far right switch and go to the room on the left. Avoid the enemies and just get to Ultros. Watch the scene and fight Ultros. Beat him up and Setzer comes. You get took to his airship. Watch the scene, talk to Setzer and he drops you near Albrook.

23. Albrook Do nothing here. Just go to Maranda and Tzen (west and north of Vector).

24. Maranda Buy some junk here.

25. Tzen Ditto as above.

26. Vector This is north of Albrook. Go to the house (its long) to the left of the entrance. Say you will not pledge your allegiance to the Empire and fight the guards. Beat them up (not bosses) and you get your HP and MP refilled! Now talk to the old man and do what he says. Go into the Magitek Factory and here we go!

27. Magitek Factory DO NOT MISS the treasure here. After getting it all go to the room with Magitek Armor being hauled to the other room. Jump on the machine and watch Kefka talk. Go down where the espers Ifrit and Shiva went. Go into the door and save your game. After that talk to Ifrit. You now fight Ifrit and Shiva. Defeat them and you get them. You can learn new magic! Head in the other door now. Go as far as you can and fight Machine #24. Beat him and keep going. When you get to the room full of espers watch the scene where Celes disappears. You have 6 NEW ESPERS! ALL RIGHT! Now save your game. Talk to Cid and go on the train. Ride fighting the enemies. Then Machine #128 fights you. Beat him up and you go back to Vector. Save your game and run down. After a while Setzer comes running. Watch the scene and fight the cranes. Now you go back to Zozo.

21. Zozo You immediately go to Terra. You watch a flashback (controlling an esper!) and when it's done you get Terra back in your group. Now what happens? You control the airship! Go back to Narshe now.

25. Tzen Talk to the guy in the far upper-right corner. He will sell you the Sraphim esper. for 3000 GP! Buy it, it's very useful.

1. Narshe Go straight up. After a little while a guard will talk to you. Watch the long scene and buy new junk. After that go back to the airship and fly to the Imperial Base to the right of Albrook (not the one way back by Doma).

28. Sealed Gate If you have Terra in your party, you can pass right through the Base. If you don't, go back and get her. Now you go into the cave to the Sealed Gate. Get the treasures here. DO NOT MISS THE ATMA WEAPON! I'll tell you how and why to get it later. After getting to the end you watch a scene. then Kefka appears. Fight him (sort of) and after a while you watch another scene. In this one, the espers fly out of the gate. They head toward Vector. Leave the cave through a new exit and go back to the airship. The rest of your group appear and talk. Watch the scene and you crash-land near Maranda.

26. Vector Go to the Imperial Castle. Talk to the Emperor and talk to as many soldiers as you can. After your four minutes are up, you go into a banquet scene. I will talk about that later. In it, the Emperor states that he stopped the war. He wants you to go find the espers. They traveled to Crescent Island. General Leo goes with you. Now go to Albrook.

23. Albrook Talk to General Leo on the boat. He tells you that General Celes will go with him and Shadow will go with Terra and Locke. Now you stay the night at the Inn. Watch the short scene and go back to the boat. Talk to everybody. Watch the scenes and you stop at Crescent Island. Here, go to Thamasa.

29. Thamasa Here talk to everybody. You will see clues that this village isn't exactly your everyday town. Now go to the house almost on the edge. Talk to the old man inside it. Now name him (Strago). Talk to him a bit and his granddaughter comes in. You also name her (Relm). Talk a bit more and stay a night at the Inn. At night Strago comes in saying that Relm is in a burning house. Watch the scene where the villagers cast "Ice" on the house and go in it with Strago. Grab the Ice Rod in the chest and equip it on Strago. Go to the end of the house and you find a monster. Destroy it and watch the scene where Shadow comes and saves Interceptor (his dog) who went to save Relm. After that go to the cave to the west of Thamasa.

30. Esper's Gathering Place Fight through here. At the room with the statues keep going and save your game at the save point. Go back and near the statues. Go in and watch the scene where Strago talks about Espers and the statues. Leave and you run into (guess who?) ULTROS! The squidball strikes again! Fight him and after you beat him Relm comes. (actually, she destroys him but.) After that go back to the room with the save point. Hop down the weak ground and watch the very LONG scene! After that. it's Kefka! Leo fights Kefka alone. Beat him and watch another scene. Leave and the airship's waiting for you. Edgar says that Emperor Gestahl is after the sealed gate, looking for some statues or something (if you read them earlier, you know that the statues are actually the goddess's of magic). Watch the island float into the sky and GET THEM!

31. The Floating Continent First the Imperial Air Force (IAF) attacks you on the airship. Beat the enemies and a strange thing comes. Out of it comes. yes, the squidball has returned. ULTROS! Beat him and the strange thing (named Chupon) and you get sneezed off the airship. On the way you beat the Air Force. Beat him up and you fall onto the floating continent! Grab Shadow there and SAVE IMMIDIATLY. Get through this looooong maze grabbing treasure chests (that look like blue orbs) along the way. Get to the save point and save. Go to the place where you are asked if you want to go back to the airship and choose no. Then go to the left and fight the Atma Weapon. Destroy him and go up. Watch the long scene and Celes comes. In the scene Kefka moves the statues out of balance. Now the world is being destroyed. After the scene you don't have Shadow with you anymore but you do have Celes. Now GET OUT OF HERE FAST! If you don't run FAST, you might not make it. After a while of running (almost to the end) you fight the enemy Nerapa. Beat him (her?) and keep going. Once you get to the end choose "Wait" twice. When there is only 5 seconds left Shadow comes and jumps off the continent with you. You land in the airship. Watch the long scene. After it you are in the World of Ruin. The World of Ruin

1. The Solitary Island You are alone on the island with Celes. Watch the scene and you now have two choices. You can either save Cid or don't save Cid. I will tell you how later. After that, you go downstairs and get on the raft. It takes you to Albrook.

2. Albrook Talk to everybody. Buy new equipment. Take a look at the "Tower" everybody's talking about. Nothing else important.

3. Tzen Immediately after entering, the "Light of Judgement" as people call it burns a building. Go up to the building and you find Sabin. Talk a bit and go in. Find the kid downstairs without getting any chests and LEAVE NOW! Now Sabin joins you. New information about Mobliz, to the east, makes you think "Should I go there?" The answer is "Yes."

4. Mobliz Note: I don't know whether you have to do this or if it is optional. Anyway, go into the house that the boy comes out of. In it you see a scene. with Terra in it! Watch it and go outside. Now the monster known as "Phunbaba" comes. Terra tries to fight it but fails. Now Sabin and Celes fight him. Beat him up and leave. You get a new esper (Fenrir or something like that). Now leave and head north, toward Nikeah.

5. The Fanatic's Tower Mountains are surrounding it! Return with the airship later.

6. Nikeah Talk to the thieves in the caf?. Now a man who has a striking resemblance to Edgar is by the shops. () Talk to him as many times as you can and follow him. He leads you onto the ship to South Figaro.

7. South Figaro Do the same as Nikeah. Now go to Figaro Cave.

8. Figaro Cave Here follow the man who resembles Edgar (who claims to be Gerad). When you get to the part where they jump on the turtle do the same. Soon you get to Figaro Castle.

9. Figaro Castle Go as far as you can into the basement. Get the treasure and you run into the monsters "Tentacles." Fight them now (with Gerad, who now tells you he is Edgar!). Beat them and talk to Edgar. Now get out of the basement. Watch the scene and go to Kohligen.

10. Kohligen Go to the Caf? and talk to Setzer. He tells you to visit Daryl's Tomb to get an airship. Go there (it's to the west) and grab supplies before that.

11. Daryl's Tomb Fight through here. There's an experience egg here somewhere, but look for the secrets section for info on that. So go through and get to the end. Fight the Monster-In-A-Box and save. Now go to the real Tomb. Fight the boss and keep going. Watch the LONG scene and you have an airship! (BTW, it's called the Falcon. Jeez, how many times have we seen that name for a spaceship/airship?) NOTE: The rest of this is COMPLETELY optional. If you want to skip straight to bonking Kefka on the head, go to the end of the walkthrough. This is MY preferred order of what to do. You can do it in any order, but you don't have to.

12. Duncan's House Come here with Sabin in your group. Duncan comes out and talks to you. Watch the scene and Sabin knows his most powerful blitz attack! It is called the "Bum Rush." To find out how to perform it, go to "Characters."

13. The Veldt Fight with three characters in your group. To do this, go to the Phoenix Cave and leave immediately. Now talk to somebody and choose a group of three. After a while Gau will appear. He will be happy that the rest survived and he will join you.

5. Mobliz Go into the house to the way left. Go behind the bookshelf. Watch the scene and fight Phunbaba again. Beat him and Terra joins you.

14. Gau's Father's House Go here with Gau and Sabin. It doesn't get you anything, but it's funny!

15. Maranda Talk to Lola. She is in the house on the far right. Tell her "Yes" and do that. Now follow that bird! (It goes to Zozo)

16. Zozo Buy the Rust Rid here. Go into the door with the "Caf?" sign on it and go into Mt. Zozo.

17. Mt. Zozo DO NOT MISS THE TREASURES! They hold good stuff like the elemental shields and the third best shield in the game! Go straight through (it's not a maze). Now watch the scene. YES! CYAN IS BACK! Now hurry and push that weird switch. Out of the treasure chest comes. a dragon?! FIGHT IT! There is a good reason. Beat him up and leave.

18. Doma Castle Come with Cyan and 3 others. Sleep in the bed. Watch the scene and you wake up. with one person! Go through the doors to find 2 others, but no Cyan. Go to the last door (looks the same on both sides). Now you fight three bad guys (named Curly, Larry and Moe. Funny!). Beat them and go through the door. Go straight through. Now you are in MAGITEK ARMOR! Oh yeah, bring Terra here- she can use 4 extra Magitek powers! Go through. When it's repeating go backwards. You are back in Doma Castle. Go to the throne room and you fight Wrexoul. Use X-Zone immediately! You beat him immediately! Now watch the scene. Cyan has a good sword and an ESPER!

14. Cave on the Veldt Go through. Don't miss the Striker weapon! It is essential to getting Shadow back! Walk through. At the end you run into Shadow (or Relm if you didn't wait for Shadow on the Floating Continent). Then a Sr. Behemoth comes. Defeat him and you go to Thamasa.

19. Thamasa Leave and return. A man says that Shadow went to the Colosseum.

20. The Colosseum Bet the striker weapon. You fight Shadow. He's easy. Beat him and you get him to joint your group.

21. Jidoor Go to Owser's House. Turn on the light and look at the painting in the far left corner. Beat it and go through. Get through and you run into a painting, Owser and Relm! Fight the painting and you get an esper (Starlet) and Relm joins you!

22. The Phoenix Cave Split into two groups. Have them work together to get to the end. You run into another dragon! Beat him and keep going. You get to the end and Locke joins you with an esper! YES! Watch the scene and leave.

23. Narshe Have Locke with you. He unlocks the locked doors. One of which has a sword/stone. I suggest getting the stone (an esper), as it teaches Ultima! Ultima is the best spell in the game! Another one has the Cursed Shield. Fight with it for 255 battles and it turns into the much better PALADIN SHIELD! Now go through the cave (remember the cave way back from the beginning?). Go through and you end up getting MOG! Search behind him to get the Moogle Charm. VERY useful item. Only Mog can equip it but it protects you from ALL enemy attacks if he has it equipped! Put Mog in your group now. Go up to the hill where the Tritoch esper was and you fight it. Destroy it and it joins you as the esper Tritoch. Before that you should've fought the Ice Dragon. Now go to the top of the hill. Select "Yes." I STRONGLY advise you to have the Moogle Charm right now. Get to the end and you get an esper (Terrato) and Umaro comes out. Beat him (he is very easy) and Mog makes him join you.

6. The Fanatic's Tower Bring Relm here. She wakes Strago from his trance and he joins you. In one treasure room there is a dragon! Defeat it! Now go to the top of the tower. You get the Gem Box which lets you cast two spells in one turn! Leave and. something awful happens. NOTE: Will explain the boss in the secrets section.

24. Triangle Island You fight the Zone-Eater here. Let him swallow all your members. You are in a maze now. Force yourself to get knocked off the platform once- it leads to lots of treasure! Now go through, getting the treasure. MAKE SURE NOT TO BE CRUSHED BY THE CEILING! It kills you! Now you run into the creature Gogo. He (she?) joins you after hearing your story.

25. The Opera House Here go to the place where a long time ago you pushed the far right switch. Push all of them until you fall onto the stage. Now beat the dragon here.

21. Thamasa Come here with Strago and Relm. Watch the scene and go to Ebot's Rock.

26. Ebot's Rock Fight through. Do NOT give any of your coral to the treasure chest! Once you have about 30 pieces of Coral give it to the treasure chest. Now you fight Hidon, a beast that Strago hunted when he was young. Now beat him. He teaches the Grand Train, Strago's strongest Lore! Now you automatically travel back to Thamasa. Watch the scene and leave.

27. The Sky Fly around for a little bit. Sooner or later you fight Doom Gaze. Cast "Vanish/Doom" on him and you beat him immediately! Now you get the esper BAHAMUT! NOTE: If you used vanish/x-zone you don't get Bahamut, though.

10. Figaro Castle Travel back to Figaro. In the middle, though, it stops. Select "Stop and Explore" and go to the jail cell. Go through the door and you go to the Ancient Castle!

28. The Ancient Castle Watch the many scenes and grab the esper "Odin." Now go five steps down from the queen's throne and push "A." A secret room opens in the library. Go into it and talk to the queen's statue. You have a new esper! (Well, actually, Odin was changed into a different one) Fight the dragon here. Then go to the Monster-In-A-Box. Beat it and you get the offering! It allows you to attack four times! Now you may leave.

20. The Colosseum Here you can bet weapons and items. Usually you have to fight Chupon (he sneezes you away) but occasionally you can bet something else. Finally! The last level awaits!

29. Kefka's Tower Land on the roof of the tower. You fight in three groups. Have one have Mog and his Moogle Charm. Now here goes. Group One: Go through the path, grabbing treasures along the way. Once you get to a dead-end switch to the next group. Group Two: Go through doing the same as Group One. When you get to the place that looks like it's from the Imperial Castle, fight Atma. Beat him and you can save. Keep going until you get to the same room where Group One is. Step on the switch there and keep going. Fight the dragon. At the dead-end step on the switch and go to Group Three. Group Three: Do the same here. At the middle fight Inferno. Beat him and keep going. Step on all the switches, for one of them lets Group One get farther in. Fight the dragon here. FINAL DRAGON! ALL RIGHT! Go to the end and step on the switch. The door is open! Group One: Go straight through, getting the treasure. At the end pick a side: Left or Right. Pick left. Group Two: Move the group outta the way. Go back to group one. Group One: Push the weight on the switch. Go up and step on the switch. Group Two: Do the same as Group One just did. Move Group Three out of the way. Now switch over to Group Three. Group Three: Go up and step on the switch. Go backwards. Now Groups 1 and 2 can go. Go straight up. Here you fight Guardian. Beat it and keep going. Now you fight Poltergeist (Statue One). Keep going and step on the switch. Group Two: Go through the new door. Here you fight Goddess (Statue Two). Beat it and keep going. Here step on the switch. Group One: Repeat Group Two. After beating Doom (Statue Three) it talks a little about the goddess's, magic and Kefka. Now step on the final switch in the game (make sure to save before now!)! You are transported to another room. Groups One, Two and Three: Watch the long scene. Now form an order of the twelve people. Now you fight Kefka and the three statues. (the goddess's of magic from the World of Balance, remember?) Beat the statues and fight Kefka. Knock some sense into this mad man! Destroy this clown! Bonk this idiot on the head! Do whatever with him, just do not lose.
