What's New?
Version 1.0: Everything on the walkthrough is new. Check it out!
Version 1.5: Cleared out the page. Added boss guide!
INTRODUCTION:
Welcome to my guide to Final Fantasy III! Please note that I'm not
copying any of the information from an FAQ. Some of the information IS
from The Mynock's Guide to Final Fantasy III, though. He is my biggest
thank-you (besides Nintendo and Squaresoft of course!) Oh yes, before
the walkthrough, please note that you can save your game ANYWHERE on
the World Map. I advise you to do so every time after you completed
something big.
WALKTHROUGH
THE WORLD OF BALANCE
1. Narshe
After an interesting scene explaining the War of the Magi and the
Empire, you find yourself in the town with two other Imperial Soldiers.
You fight your way through the town, going straight up. Once you get to
the mine, you get your first random enemies. Save your game at the save
point (to the left of the path up) and continue up. Once you get to the
top Narshe guards send their monster after you. YES! A BOSS! You fight
the Whelk. Details on beating him are later in the Guide. After beating
him up, you run into the esper Tritoch. You go into a fight (sort of)
and the soldiers ????? is with (named Vicks and Wedge) disappear. ?????
(Terra) does SOMETHING with the esper and also disappears.
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!
14. 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 get treasure walking through
the caves> ). 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!
1. 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. (<G>) 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. After this YOU'VE JUST BEAT THE GAME, CONGRATS! It now talks
about How magic is disappearing from the world. That also means the
espers (and Terra, the half-esper) no longer exist. But it turns out
that she can remain on earth as a human being. Now watch the half hour
long ending! Congratulations! You have just beat one of the best and
toughest Role-Playing Games ever!

Secrets
How to beat Magi-Master
Magi-Master is the boss of the Fanatic's Tower. He casts Ultima at the
end of the fight, so beware! The only ways to beat him are:
2. Equip everybody with a wall ring. Somebody should cast Life 3 on
somebody at the beginning so at least one character will survive.
Now pile on the ultimas.
3. Cast Berserk on the Magi-Master. Now check his weakness with "Scan"
and pile on that spell. As always cast Life 3 on somebody (only
learned by Phoenix, the esper in the Phoenix Cave).
How to get the esper Crusader
This is the reason why you must defeat all eight dragons. When you do
you get the esper Crusader.
The Clock of Zozo
Set the clock to 6:10:50. When you go through the passageway you get
the tool "Chainsaw."
How to get to level 99 in three days
First off, spend that hard-earned money on a turbo controller. Second
go to the Lete River. Make sure you fight like this: Terra and Sabin
fight, Banon use Health and Edgar use Auto-Crossbow. Now right after
the first save point set your A-button to "Auto." Unplug the system
from the TV but not from the plug-in. Leave it for 3 days and all your
characters are at Level 99! There's only one problem: do not leave your
game on for over 12 hours, for some time around there there's a lock up
glitch stuck on the "Fanfare" music.
To answer the question that has been going on at RPGamer's Final
Fantasy SNES Message Board for a while, you CANNOT get an Illumina and
Atma Weapon from Doom and Goddess. I've never tried, but everybody has
came to that decision.

Important Items
Atma Weapon: Grab this in the Cave to the Sealed Gate. Click on all the
switches and go into a cave to get it. If you think the Weapon stinks,
you have to be over Level 25 to have it be worth your while. It gets
more powerful with the level and HP of the user.
Ragarnock: Go to Narshe with Locke in your group. He opens the Weapon
Shop for you. Talk to the man and get this instead of the esper. It
isn't the better one, but it is a powerful weapon.
Illumina: Bet the Ragarnock at the Colisseum. You get the Illumina if
you win. VERY powerful weapon.
Economizer: Bet the Gem Box at the Colloseum and you get this. You
could also win it from a brachasour.
Cursed Shield: Do the same as the Ragarnock, only do it with the
elder's house. He gives you the Cursed Shield. Fight 255 battles with
it and you get the Paladin Shield. This is the best shield in the game!
Thank-Yous
First off, I'd like to thank Nintendo and Squaresoft for creating this
wonderful game. Without them this would be an FAQ for Sonic the
Hedgehog. Second off I'd like to thank The Mynock for his information
on the game. That is how I first got through the game.
Sources of Info: Nintendo Power Volumes 65, 66 and 67
The Mynock's Guide to Final Fantasy III
Other: Please note that this is the very first FAQ I've written. I will
update this FAQ about once every month or so. Oh, by the way, send any
comments to General Locke at cfetters@willinet.net. Or check his
