FF5j Walkthrough Part Two Final Fantasy V Walkthrough of World Two Written by Tatsushi Nakao Party's Level indicate levels which you should go there in order to finish that place without difficulty. 1. Solitary Island (Party's Level: 21) When you arrive at the second world, use "tent". (If you don't have a supply, you can fight the enemies here to obtain tent) While you are asleep, Abductor attacks your party. You have to fight with Butz alone. Boss of Solitary Island: Abductor. Lv. 22, HP 1500 Normal way to beat this boss: Just simply attack and you shouldn't have any problem. Use "Kearura" to heal your HP when Abductor uses "hurricane". Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: If your character (Butz) has high HP, "????" can be used as a weapon. "????" inflicts same amount of damage as your "max HP - current HP". Also, "DeathClaw" works against him. 2. Basement of Exdeath Castle You have to rescue Butz, Lenna, and Faris with Galuf alone. Best job here would be Monk with "Kusuri no Chisiki" or "Shiromahou" as an ability. You'll fight Gilgamesh in front of the jail. Boss of Basement of Exdeath Castle: Gilgamesh. Lv. ??, HP ?? Normal way to beat this boss: Since he only does physical attacks, just attack him normally. The fight will end when you inflict some amount of damage. Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: Any magic that has success rate associated will not work (DeathClaw, Gravite, etc..). Try casting "Protesu" to yourself to minimize the damage. Also, try using Monk, since Monk will do "counter" when he's attacked. 3. Big Bridge You'll walk over this bridge in order to escape from Exdeath castle. At the middle of the bridge, you'll fight Gilgamesh again. Boss of Big Bridge: Gilgamesh. Lv. ??, HP ?? Normal way to beat this boss: If you attacked him without thinking, Gilgamesh will become stronger from some point in the battle. (He'll cast "shell" and "protesu" to himself) Cast "slow" to Gilgamesh to make some preparing time after he power up. Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: The point of this battle is when Gilgamesh power ups. (He'll use "shell" and "protesu") So, just attack with "mahouken-sairesu" from the start so that he cannot cast those magics on power up. 4. Town of Rugoru Buy magics (important) and equipment. When you sleep at the inn, event occurs. Go to pub to meet with Galuf during that event. 5. Concealed castle of Koozer When you walk south from Rugoru, you'll see this castle. The enemies in this castle is pretty strong, so be careful not to fight them (run, if you can). You can see (but not take) 12 legendary weapons here. Note: 12 Legendary Weapons of Koozer Clockwise from top: Excalibur Assasin Dagger Sasuke no Katana (Sasuke's Katana) Holy Lance Rune Ax Masamune Yoichi no Yumi (Bow & Arrow of Yoichi) Fire Byuuto Kenja no Tsue (Wise One's Cane) Wizard Rod Apollon no Harp (Apollon's Harp) Daichi no Bell (Bell of the earth) 6. Mouguli's forest -> Underground river Treasures: Fenix Down, 4400 giru When you arrive at Mouguli's forest, talk to him/her and follow him/her down to the underground river. At the end of the river, you'll fight Tirasaurs. After the battle, Mouguli will show you the way to Mouguli's town. Pay close attention to where he goes. Boss of underground river: Tirasaurs. Lv. 29, HP 5000, weakness: Fire, Kearu Normal way to beat this boss: Since he is an undead, you can use "Faira" (Fire 2), "Kearura" (Cure 2), Ifrit, "Katon no Jutsu" (Fire Scroll), etc. to attack him. If you get hit by "bone", make sure to heal him/her before "zombie breath" comes. Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: To say the truth, Tirasaurs is especially weak against "gravite". So put everyone with "Jikuu" ability and cast multiple "gravite". When the damage becomes 2 digits, just attack once, and he's gone. 7. Mouguli's town... kupo! When you cross the Grociana desert and enter the forest, you'll arrive at Mouguli town. Make sure not to step into the desert, for SandCrawler will attack you. (SandCrawler has HP 5000 and you cannot run away) Put on the Mouguli doll to get the "Elf no Manto" (Elf's cloak) here. 8. Bal Castle (Party's Level: 23) After the auto-event, Hiryuu (Flying dragon) will fall. In order to save Hiryuu, you now must goto "Hiryuu no tani" (Valley of Flying Dragons) to get "Hiryuu sou" (Flying Dragon's Weed). You can get free "Great Sword" in the moat of this castle. Walk counter-clockwise and search the dead end. Also, if you use the staircase on back of weapon shop, you can get "Tenshi no Hakui" (White Robe of Angels) and by standing at the counter between weapon shop and armor shop (there is hidden switch) weapon shop master will give to "Ramia no Tategoto" (Ramia's Harp: Confuses enemy). Note: At the basement of Bal Castle, enemy called "Sekizou" will appear. "Sekizou" can be killed with "Lv. 5 Death" or "Kin no Hari" (Golden Needle: Destones the target), and it gives 4 ABP (Ability points) when it comes in pair (with 1014 giru) or 8 ABP when it comes in set of 4 (with 2028 giru). If you think you need some more abilities, this is good place to gather some ABPs. 9. Town of Quelb Enter the big house at center of the town. Kelgar will open the door on north side of the town. Also, learn "Requiem" from dancing werewolves on upper-right corner of the town. Lastly, if you have time, try to "Toraeru" (Capture: Majuutsukai (Beast Master)'s ability)) "Korunago" (Looks like orange toad) and give it to the man in the well. He'll trade your "Korunago" for "Korunago no Tsubo" (Pot of Korunago: See below for details) You can get 24 free potions (8 potions for 3 times) by sitting at the chair in the inn. Note: What the heck is "Korunago no Tsubo"?? "Korunago no Tsubo" is special item that's very useful if you have Majuutsukai (Beast Master) in your party. Normally, you have to decrease the enemy's HP to 1/8 in order to "capture" it, but with this Pot, you can capture by decreasing the enemy's HP to 1/2. If you have difficulty capturing Korunago at first place (it's smart enough to run), try using "stop".) 10. Valley of the Flying Dragons Treasures: 5000 giru, Cottage, Bone Mail, 7000 giru, Kazekiri no Yaiba (Tempest), Hyupuno Crown, Fenix Down At the top of this valley, you'll fight "Hiryuusou". But make sure to get "Bone Mail" (a.k.a. Undead Armor) on your way. (Check the bones that's lying on the ground)

Hints for the Valley of the Flying Dragons If you can't go further, try searching the hole in the ground! Occasinary, you'll meet "Golem" requesting help from your party. If you kill two monsters without harming Golem, you'll obtain Shoukanjuu (Summoned Beasts) Golem. Like Ramuh, you have to use it as an item to add Golem to the Shoukan list. Many of the monsters in this valley are undeads. Try using "requiem" you got at Quelb! (You have to have "Utau" ability or be in Gin'yuushijin (bard)) Boss of the Valley of the Flying Dragons: Hiryuu sou. Lv. 29, HP 12000 Normal way to beat this boss: When you kill all of those flowers beside Hiryuusou, they'll revive with 5 flowers. Heal the effect of "kafun" (pollen) with "Esna". Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: If you use the "Golem" you got at this valley, "kafun" (pollen) will not harm your party. "Gravite" works pretty well against Hiryuusou. Reduce the HP of Hiryuusou to 3 digits and use "Zeninage" (coin toss: ability of Samurai) command to finish them off. 11. Bal Castle Once Again If you give Hiryuusou to Hiryuu, Hiryuu will revive and you'll be able to control him. Head north from Bal Castle (NE from Quelb) to get to the outer world. Next destination is Ghido's Dwelling, which is located northeast from Bal. 12. Ghido's Dwelling When you enter the entrance of this cave, the whole island will start to sink. Head west after escaping from the sinking island. 13. Surgate Castle Gather the information about Zeza (You'll learn that Zeza went to east of Exdeath castle with his fleet). At king's bedroom, get "Subayasa no Uta" (Song of Speed). Also at the Library of this castle, put back the scattered books to appropriate place to open the secret door. The scattered books are (from left to right) "Kindan no Sho" (Forbidden Book), "Mamono Daijiten" (Dictionary of the Monsters), and "Ronka no Himitsu" (Secret of Lonka). See below for details on where to put back the books. You'll get "Leviteto" as a reward. Hint: Placing the booksThanks to Nora [NEStevens@aol.com] for confirmation of the bookshelf arrangement. --1-- --2-- --3-- --4-- --5-- --6-- --7-- --8-- --9-- -10-- -11-- Put: "Kindan no Sho" (Left most book) into bookshelf #2. "Mamono Daijiten" (Middle book) into bookshelf #7. "Ronka no Himitsu" (Right most book) into bookshelf #9. 14. Zeza's Fleet Land your Hiryuu on the biggest ship in Zeza's fleet located east of Exdeath Castle. Meet Zeza, and goto bed. While in sleep, monsters attack the fleet. You can ignore the wandering enemies if you want. Head to the bottom to fight the boss. Boss on Zeza's Fleet: Gilgamesh & Enkidou Gilgamesh: Lv. ??, HP ?? Enkidou: Lv. 29, HP 4000 Normal way to beat these bosses: "Gravite" works against Enkidou. Use magic or physical attacks against Gilgamesh. Quick and dirty way to beat these bosses: "Confuyu" works against Enkidou. Once you get Enkidou on your side, concentrate your attacks on Gilgamesh. Also make sure to steal "Genji no Kote" (Genji Gauntlet). There is only one set of Genji equipment. 15. Barrier Tower (Party's Level: 26) Treasures: 9000 giru, Blood Sword, 18000 giru, Kin no Kamikazari (Golden Hairpin) You start from the basement and head to the top of the tower. At the top of the tower, you'll fight "Atomos". Boss of Barrier Tower: Atomos. Lv. 41, HP 19997 Normal way to beat this boss: If you revive the character which was hit with "Comet", Atomos will use the "Comet" once again. Before the character is sucked into the "waam hole", do critical attacks of Samurais and Monks. Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: "Slow" works against Atomos. There is no easy way around this boss. You may want to use "Zeninage" here if you have alot of giru to spare. Otherwise, do critical attacks of Samurais and Monks. 16. Ghido's Dwelling After you obtained the submarine, go to the sunken island of Ghido's dwelling. At the very bottom of the cave, you'll meet Ghido the wise one. He'll give you "Chourou no Eda" (Stem of the Elderly Tree) and advise you to goto Great Forest of Muah. 17. Obtaining Katoblepas When you open the map undersea, you'll see a white dot on north-western part of the world map. Goto that place and go through the cave. When you exit the cave, wander around until you encounter Katoblepas. Beat him to get Katoblepas. Katoblepas: Lv. 38, HP 5000 When you attack, he'll use "Akuma no Hitomi" (Devil's eye) to stone one character. Make one "Odoriko" (Dancer) and equip him/her with Ribbon to guard against "Akuma no Hitomi". Use the Dancer to destone the characters and attack, attack, attack!

18. Town of Muah (Party's Level: 27) You can enter this town if you carefully observe the overworld map and underwater map. (Concentrate your search on western part of the map) Once you found your way, go to the town first and buy the necessities. You can get "Main Gauche" from the thing on left of the Pub building. You cannot go through the locked door at this time. 19. The Great Forest of Muah Treasures: 2000 giru, Etel (Ether), 4500 giru, Fenix Down, 9900 giru, Elixer, Cottage, Kyojin no Kusuri (Medicine of Giants), Aegis no Tate (Aegis Shield), Morning Star, Flame Tongue, Susu (Ash), Flame Shield (If you took Aegis Shield, this treasure box is empty). Use the "Chourou no Eda" (Stem of the Elderly Tree) to enter the forest. When you come to the middle of the forest, Exdeath will light the fire on forest. Don't panic. You have plenty of time to search around for treasure boxes. After you have collected the treasures, enter Mouguli's hole. 20. The remains of Elderly Tree (Party's Level: 30) If you use "Chourou no Eda" in front of the Elderly Tree, the passage will open. Inside, you'll fight "Fuuin wo Mamoru Mono" (Guardian of the Seal). After the battle, Galuf dies, and Kururu will join your party. Boss of Elderly Tree: Fuuin wo Mamoru Mono Each piece is Lv. 77, HP 7777, and has individual attribute of Fire, Ice, Wind, and Earth. Normal way to beat this boss: "Gravite" works fairly well. When they began to use magics, use "shell" to reduce the damage. Just mix the attacks with healing. Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: Cast "Leviteto" to everyone. Then use "Titan" with all four members of your party. (Ignore the Earth segment for now) After other three dies, use "Graviga". Earth segment is near death by now.... 21. Cave of Gilgame (not Gilgamesh) This place is optional and you may skip if you aren't in need of quick cash. Behind the doors, you can get 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280, 2560, 5120, 10240, 20480, and 40960 giru, but you'll encounter the mighty Gilgame with high rate. Gilgame has HP of 32768 (same as Exdeath you'll meet later) and his weakness is "ice". So use "Mahouken Bulizaga" to beat him. Golem's guard will be nullified in 2 rounds or so. Dirty way to beat Gilgame.... but it's not quick. Equip everyone with Gin'yuushijin's (Bard's) "Kakureru" (Hide) ability. When you enter the battle, let everyone hide until Gilgame does "Kame no Koura" (Turtle Shell) twice. After he has done the "Kame no Koura" attack, surprisingly, Gilgame's attack won't hit your party. I'm sure you know what to do NOW. ; ) [Yes, come out and attack!!] 22. The Climax!?: Exdeath Castle (Party's Level: 31) Treasures: Daia no Tate (Diamond Shield), Etel (Ether) x 2, Ice Shield, Elixer x 2, Hayate no Yumiya (Gale Bow & Arrows), Ice Bland, Kotetsu, 9900 giru, Twin Lancer, 8000 giru, Partisan, Fuuma Shuriken Are you ready to beat up the Exdeath? Do you think you have good job-ability combination? If not, you should go back to basement of Bal Castle and gather some ABP (Ability point) there. If you are ready, go up from the unlocked front door. At the third floor, head back a little to break the illusion of Exdeath. After revealing the true shape of Exdeath castle, proceed. Get Karbunkle at 10th floor, fight Gilgamesh at 12th floor, and finally, you'll fight Exdeath at 13th floor. I recommend having "Otoshiana Kaihi" (Avoid Snares : Fuusuishi (Elemental User) Lv. 2), and "Damage Yuka" (Damage Floors : Fuusuishi (Elemental User) Lv.3) abilities to help your way. (You can have Fuusuishi (Elemental User) + Dash in your party) Bosses on parade in Exdeath Castle Boss #1: Karbunkle. Lv. 44, HP 15000. Normal way to beat this boss: Karbunkle is always in "reflec" status, so just cast "reflec" to your party and reflect the magics to Karbunkle. You can steal "Reflect Ring" from him. Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: Make four Shoukanshi (Summoner) and cast Katoblepas. The success rate is rather low, but you can kill him in one shot. Boss #2: Gilgamesh. Lv. ??, HP ??? Since his attacks are pretty weak, I'll skip the "quick and dirty" section. Just attack normally and heal with "Kearuga" (Cure 3) and "Esna". Boss #3: Exdeath. Lv. 66, HP 32768, Weakness: Holy Powers Normal way to beat this boss: Guard your party with "shell", "leviteto", and "Golem". Then attack Exdeath, but make sure that you can cast "Raise" at any given time during battle. Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: Cast "Golem" and "Karbunkle". Equip everyone with "AoMahou" ability and heal with "White Wind". For attacking Exdeath, "Midareuchi" (Archer Lv. 5) and "Tameru" (Monk Lv. 2) works pretty well. After the battle with Exdeath, World One and World Two merges together.... Tatsushi Nakao : Email : Tatsushi.Nakao@Colorado.EDU
