No battles in Phoenix Tower:
Use the following door order: left, left, right, left, left, right, left, left, right, left, left, right, right, left, right, left, left, right, and up.
Finding Shiva:
Go to Waltz Castle and walk into the water on the roof. Find the large waterfall, walk into the middle of it, and continue to walk up the stairs until you see a glowing ball. Walk up and talk to the ball. Fight and defeat Shiva to get her as a summon.
Finding Ramuh:
Get the airship and fly to Easterly Falls, up in the northwest corner of the map. Walk around in the forest until you encounter Ramuh. Fight and defeat Ramuh to get him as a summon.
Hydra Summon:
In World 3, use the airship to return to the pirate's base in the middle of the mountains. As you enter, Faris will appear and run to the right side of the base. He sees an illusion of Hydra. You will then get to summon Hydra, who uses the very useful attack, Thunder.
Hint Golem Summon:
In the Valley of Dragons, get into a few random battles until the monsters you fight are a Skelesaurus, Dragon Zombie and Golem. The other monsters will turn on Golem and ask for help. If you kill the two monsters before they kill Golem, Golem will praise you and join your party as a summon. You have to use the Golem item in order for him to join (just like Ramuh).
Shoat Summon:
In World 2 with the submarine you will find a tunnel underwater at the bottom part of the northwestern-most continent. Go through the tunnel and get into a fight. Shoat is difficult to defeat. His only attack does not miss and turns your characters into stone. The tunnel (outside in the water) is a yellow circle in the rock wall. The tunnel is also a good place to level up.
Mirage Town:
Get the airship and fly to Cresent Island. Head to the middle of the joined continent, and land next to a forest there. Walk around in the forest until it seems you have gotten into a battle. The screen will be fuzzy instead of the normal swirl for starting a battle. This town has extremely good weapons, 6 level six magic spells, and great armor. There are two shops in every store, so search around the town.
Healing Staff:
Once you have the dragon, fly to Tycoon Castle and talk to the Chancellor. Then, go to the treasure room on the east side of the castle and talk to the Chancellor again to enter. Once there, you can find the very useful Healing Staff, which restores HP rather than taking it away. It is magic though -- do not use it on someone with Reflect.
Kornago's Gourd:
In World 2 (Galuf's World), have a Trainer catch a Kornago (the giant frog monster) before entering the Kelb Village. After entering Kelb, go to the lower left corner of town and examine the well. An old man will jump out of the well and offer you the Gourd for the Kornago you caught and 10,000 GP. The Kornago's Gourd increases the probability of catching a wild monster. Note: You must go through with the sequence with Lord Kelga before getting the Gourd.
Sealed Weapons:
To get all of the weapons, place the Lithograph on the sparkling platform. You will now be able to break the seal on three of the weapons. Pick up the Lithograph, put it down again, and break three more seals. Repeat this until all the weapons are collected.
Elixir:
You can steal an Elixir from the Zuu outside the castle with the Fire Crystal. This can give you an early advantage in the game.
Mime crystal shard:
Go into the water in the third world, below the Phoenix Tower. Transform the boat into the submarine and go into the tower. Since it is under water, you will only have seven minutes to get to the bottom and return. Equip Dash and run to the bottom. Once there, you will see the crystal shard. A monster will warn you, but answer "No". He will mimic you. To win, do nothing as he says.
