(3.010) - Ceodore's Tale - The Adventure Begins (CEO1)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Blue screen (of death) appears, text begins to fade in slowly]

"Long ago, this Blue Planet was savedby the prayers of an entire people.Two moons became one anew,and time inexorably marched on...The day of departure has arrivedfor the heir of the holy paladin."

[Text disappears, new words begin to appear]

"In the skies above the airship,two moons float up listlessly,one ominously growing ever larger.Why has this dark harbringer returned?A new destiny has begun to unfold,and yet, as always,the crystals brim with silent light."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Screen fades to white, and then cuts to an airship flying north. Music slowlybegins to play. The crew of the airship (the Red Wings) are presented. 5Generic soldier (albeit one with a bronze and gold helmet) and a blue hairedman appear. They converse, with the Blue haired man presented as Ceodore, theprince of Baron, son of Cecil and Rosa, on his way to the knighthood trial.Eventually, you gain control, and are allowed to walk around the airship.]

[Some more dialogue, with the Ceodore being portrayed as a bit of a wimp.Eventually, the ship lands, and you regain control.]

There's not much else to do here either, except for listening to Bigg'sorders, so head over to the village. If you try to head into the cave rightaway, you'll find your way blocked.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you enter Mythril, you'll automatically talk to Biggs, you will tell youyour objective - to enter the cave and complete the trial under a full moon.Ceodore will ask it has to be under the full moon, and Biggs will laugh. Afterthat, you'll regain control.

You can talk to Wedge to learn about the phases of the moon, which is quiteimportant. Different phases affect the effectiveness of certain attacks inbattle. The factors affected are the strengths of physical attacks, whitemagic, black magic, and throwing items. Each phase either strengthens oneof these, weakens one, or doesn't affect two. These phases affect both youand your enemies, so keep that in mind!

-Go up to the to right side of the city, and position yourself as fardown under the well as you can. You should be standing in the shurbs; face thetrees and press "2" to find a TENT.-From the well to the left of that one, go up to the trees, then face right andpress "2" to get a POTION.-This ones a bit tricky - place yourself right above the weapon shop, and lineup with the door to it. Face right and press "2" to find a RUBY RING, whichprotects against Pig. You can give it to the Orange Guy (pig) to get 500 GIL!Talk to him after that to see a neat, Choboco song using dance! Now check outthe shops!

Item Shop---------

Potion 30Phoenix Down 100Golden Needle 400Maiden's Kiss 60Eye Drops 30Antidote 40Tent 100

Armorer--------

Bronze Shield 100Bronze Helm 150Bronze Armor 600

Weaponsmith-----------

Broadsword 200Longsword 450

With the 500 Gil you got, you can actually afford to buy something! PersonallyI'd buy some potions, and maybe a tent or two or two for Ceodore, but you cango ahead and buy a Longsword too, if you wish. You will be able to outfityourself better quite soon after this, so you might want to stick just toitems.

After you've had you're fun, go to the Inn and rest up. Notice the change inphase to Full Moon; this will make Black Mage more effective, and physicalattacks and weaker. This should be fun.

=============================-------------------------------Mythril Town Treasure Checklist-------------------------------Tent x1 []Potion x1 []Ruby Ring x1 or 500 Gil []=============================

Once you exit the Inn, a soldier will come up to you and tell you to go to thegrotto.

(You can encounter enemies here, but it's probably best not - you're prettyweak against anything)

=================---------------------------------Mythril Outskirts Enemy Checklist---------------------------------Hell Diver []Goblin []Sword Rat []Floating Eye []=================

Once you enter the Grotto, talk to Biggs, who will continue to insult you.Check the chests for a POTION, TENT, ETHER, and PHOENIX DOWN! Not bad.Talk to Biggs, and both Biggs and Wedge will join your party! Nice!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Protip - If you check the equipment menu for Biggs, you'll see he has greatequipment you can "borrow" from him. Feel free to make use of his Longsword,Bronze Helm and Iron Gloves. You might as well take them from him, since he'sstronger then Wedge. Not that it'll make much of a difference!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, talk to the guy blocking your way to begin the grotto. This place ispretty linear, so you shouldn't worry about getting lost. Head up the stairs,and eventually you'll be stopped by Biggs, who, coincidentally, is followedby a mnster encounter, with 3 Goblins. Wedge will explain the affects of themoon, making note of the fact that stronger commands will be in green, andweaker ones in red.

Just attack, or use fire on all enemies (press left all the way to highlightall enemies) to finish the battle quickly.

Continue forward, and as you near the next staircase, Wedge will interupt youand start talking about Bands.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bands are powerful group techniques, which require at least two people toinitiate, both of which must share some bond. Bands are triggered by selectingat least one member of the Band and pressing right on the control pad, thenselecting the "Band" option. Here, you can choose to either search for a Band(by selecting a person to Band with, then selecting the move you want to Bandwith, and finally confirming it with "A"). Or, if you have already learned theBand, you can select it from the list and trigger it right away from there.I'll be sure to post each Band as it comes up! Bands take certain amounts ofMP from everyone involved in it, so don't overuse them!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Be sure to try combinations with all characters that you can! Keep in mindthat characters can't Band with everyone, and that sometimes certain commands(such as "Attack" or White Magic") may be necessary to Band properly!

Anyways, Wedge will demonstrate his bond with Biggs, Vibra Edge, which willbe recorded under their Band List.

Moving on, head down the stairs and to the left to the chest, which contains aPOTION. Heading to the right, you'll come to a fork in the road - head up tofind a chest with a TENT. Head back down and to the right this time to proceed.Head up the stairs, then ignore the 2nd pair of stairs and head to the left,to find a chest with an ETHER. If you haven't switched equiment, now is thetime.

Now head back up the stairs and up to the next floor. Here, Biggs and Wedgewill leave the party, with Biggs actually showing some kindness to you. Aww!By now, you should be a high enough level to manage by yourself, so don'tworry for now. If worst comes to worst, remember Ceodore can heal.

Head up through the door to save point (whose message will be burned intoyour mind - it'll tell you what they are EVERY TIME YOU STAND IN ONE). Ugh.Save. Heal with a tent if need be - keep in mind that this will change thephase to Waning Moon , which will raise the strength of physical attacks,lower special attack strength, and not affect magic.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Protip - Of course, if you have more tents, you can sleep more to change thephase to whatever you want!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, exit through the door. Head to right here through the wall to get a chestwith a PHOENIX DOWN. Now head back to the right and head up the stairs, and goall the way to the right, and back down the next stairs. Head up the next pairof stairs, and get a BOMB FRAGMENT. Head back down, and head further down, thento the left to get a chest with EYE DROPS. Backtrack a bit, and head down tothe right this time, down the stairs to the next level.

Here, head to the right and down the stairs, then left to get the chest witha BRONZE HOURGLASS, which casts Stop. Head right and across the bridge, thenup the stairs to get a TENT. Back down the stairs and further down, headall the way down to get an ANTARCTIC WIND. Now head back and go up the otherstairs. Continue to the left, down the next stairs, and to the left for someECHO HERBS, which cure silence. Now head down, but instead of continuing upthe next stairs, head down to the right in the small indent, and go throughthe hidden passage (head down, then left) to find a chest with a IRON GLOVES,in cas you didn't have the heart to rob Biggs. Head back out the passage, andproceed left to the next door. Save, Tent, etc. If you Tent, and should getNew Moon, which doesn't affect strength of physical attacks or black magic,lowers white magic effectiveness, and increases the power of special attacks.Bleh.

Once you're ready, head back out the door and down the stairs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you get down here, Ceodore will notice the Emblem. Make sure you'reprepared, as this won't be as easy as it seems...

Examine the chest for a boss battle!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sand Worm-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This battle is pretty easy - there's not much you can do except mash the attackbutton, so do so. Don't worry about healing; if you're at a decent level, youshouldn't have to. Once you do enough damage, it'll cast Whirlwind, reducingyour HP to 1.

Phase - Probably the best is Waning Moon, which will raise physical attackstrengthen, just to make things go faster, since the battle is mostly scripted.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ceodore will collapse, and Biggs and Wedge will run and check on you. However,Ceodore will tell them to stay away, surprising Biggs. Ceodore is determinedto win by himself, and the battle begins again!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sand Worm, Part 2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wait, he's still at 1 HP? Quick, he...Oh. You'll see Ceodore's potential awaken(literally, he'll acquire at new skill called "Awaken" from now on), which willboost his attack for a short period of time. It's pretty useless in normalbattles, considering how long it takes to activate, and really only has anyuse (albeit pretty little) in boss battles. It's not a particularlygroundbreaking or necessary skill - use it as you see fit.

Anyways, proceed to mash attack on the sand worm again - you should be doingquite a bit much more damage now, maybe even triple digits. The sand worm willtry to use whirlwind again, but it'll either miss, do nothing, or damage youslightly. Either way, attack again, and you should beat it soon, even maybe onthat turn. Nothing challenging at all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll acquire the Knight's Emblem ... oh, and you'll learn Awaken. Yawn.Ceodore will collapse (don't they always?) and Wedge will heal you. Well, thatsolved the problem quickly. Wedge congratulates you, and even Biggs doesn'tseem that mad. They'll join your party!

From here, it's pretty much a walk back from where you came. It shouldn't betoo hard - like I mentioned before, the path is pretty linear. And with Biggsand Wedge again, it should go by quickly.

Once you come out of the bottom of the grotto, Ceodore will thank Biggs andWedge, and Biggs will leave wordlessly. Head outside.

===================== =================--------------------------------- ------------------------------Adamant Grotto Treasure Checklist Adamant Grotto Enemy Checklist--------------------------------- ------------------------------Potion x 2 [] Goblin []Ether x 2 [] Sword Rat []Phoenix Down x2 [] Larva []Tent x 2 [] Eyewing Moth []Bomb Fragment [] =================Eye Drops []Bronze Hourglass []Antarctic Wind []Echo Herbs []Iron Gloves []=====================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING - This will be your last chance to visit Mythril, or the Adamant Cavefor quite a while. Make sure you are prepared, as well. Once you're all ready,head to the airship, check the pot to full restore yourself, and talk to thesoldier to return to Baron.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you fly, Biggs will questions you about your new rank, telling you that thetrail was merely a test of your resolve, and that he still has a long way togo. Wedge will continue to gush over you, as always. He will comment on yourpotential of becoming a fine paladin, and Ceodore will show his hesitance inbecoming one. Before anything else can happen, and soldier will interupt you towarn you of...incoming monsters? Suddenly, you'll be attacked!

There isn't much to this fight - you might want to use Awaken with Ceodore,just to have an extra edge. Just focus on attacking one at a time, healingwith Wedge or Ceodore if you really need to. If you have protect on Ceodore,try casting it on himself (or your entire group) to give yourself an easiertime. Finally, Biggs and Wedge's Band is also an option, but it isn't thatstrong; though it does attack both enemies.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phases - Waning Moon is definately helpful for making the battle go faster -however, remember that the enemy attacks physically. If you're having trouble,Waxing Moon strengthens white magic, so healing is more effective.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll see the Airship being attacked by dozens of Ahrimans, and you'll noticesmoke coming from Baron. Ceodore will approach the side of the airship, as iflooking out at Baron in fear...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3.020) - Monster Invasion??? (CEO2)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The screen will fade to white, and now you're in Baron, with Cecil and Rosa.A soldier will inform you of the attacking monsters, which Cecil and Rosa areshocked about. Cecil tells Rosa to stay safely inside the throne room, andleaves with the soldier. Cecil tells them to stay and guard the room, and thephase will change. Now, you control Cecil. Head to the right, where you'll beattacked by two gargoyles. Dispatch them easily with physical hits.

Before going up the stairs, check the switch near the three treasure chests(on the wall under the left treasure chest) for a TENT, DEOCY, andPHOENIX DOWN. Now head to the right stairs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------PROTIP - Some places will be available from the perspective of many differentcharacters. And in those case, opened chests will actually be resealed,allowing you use them again! Always keep this in mind! Not every chest is likethis, though.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continue across the battlements, for another battle! Not too hard either -just 3 Cockatrices and a Zu. You might want to kill the cockatrices first,since they only take one hit, as opposed to the Zu, who has more (941) HP.Continue down the other stairs, and save. Don't bother with the switch nearthe save point - it's broken.

Now, head out, then head left, up under the battlements, and into the tower.Check all the chests for a HI-POTION, RED FANG, HERMES SANDALS (very useful,save these for later, they cast haste). In order to get the last chest, headup the stairs, then head back down, face up and collect the ETHER. On thefirst floor, head up the right stairs. Check the top right pot for ECHO HERBS,and the bottom middle one for a BACCHUS'S WINE. Check the chests for aHEAVENLY WRATH and HI-POTION. Head up. Here, you'll see a girl being attackedby...an ogre? Just slash it to death. Check the chests for a REMEDY, BOMBCRANK, and 500 GIL.

Now head all the way back to the ground floor, and head down the stairs thistime. Check the 4th pot to get a POTION. Down bother going down anymore -nothing you can do there. Head back up to the save point, and all the way backto where you started. This time, head to the left side. As you go up thestairs, you'll see a soldier collapse, and you'll be attacked by anothermonster. Slash. Head up the stairs, and back down the other ones. Head towardsthe doors, where you'll be stopped by Rosa, who'll force you to take her withyou. Rosa is a white mage, with good healing spells, and some other usefulspell such as protect, hold, and slow. Blessing is a wildcard move - it willheal your entire party a bit of HP and MP, but it doesn't always work. Shealso has the Aim command, but since she can't use this we'll take about itlater.

Head outside.

You'll look at the moon. And also jump around the the world to see all ofyour favourite characters (coughYangcough). It'll fade away to the Logo (incase you didn't know what game you're playing) and then back to the moon (ugh).Head up and try to enter the tower, and Cid will come down and greet you.Cid's as jolly as ever - you try to piece together what's going on, and Cidjoins you. Yay! Just as a quick overview, Cid has two other unique skills -Analyze, is exactly like Libra, allowing you to check an enemies HP andweaknesses. Risk Strike is a powerful attack, but suffers from lower accuracy.

Also note - now that you have party members, Cecil's ability actually comesinto play. Aside from having basic white magic, Cecil also has Cover, whichallows you to jump in and takes hits for someone. This activates automaticallywhen someone besides Cecil is in danger, but you can also Cover someone at anytime. This can come in handy for protecting weaker members, such as Rosa. Makesure to watch Cecil's HP, though!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------PROTIP - If you want, you can familarize yourself with your new party a bit,before we move on. Try experimenting with Bands and check out what each newmember can do. Remember, learning a Band adds it to your list, which makesthings easier to execute!

New Bands -

Machine Break (Cecil "Attack" + Cid "Analyze)(Strong against machines) (7 MP)

Holy Blade (Cecil "Attack" + Rosa "White Magic")(Strong holy slice) (15 MP)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, ignore the tower and enter the room Cid just came from. Make sure yousave before you go up the stairs, and heal as well. We'll have a little troubleup there... Also, you'll want to make sure your comfortable with the phaseyou're in right now - physically attacks stronger or stronger white magicis optimal.

=================== ===================------------------------------- ----------------------------Baron Castle Treasure Checklist Baron Castle Enemy Checklist------------------------------- ----------------------------Tent [] Bloodbones []Decoy [] Gargoyle []Phoenix Down [] Cockatrice []Hi-Potion x 2 [] Goblin []Red Fang [] Domovoi []Hermes Sandals [] Lilith []Ether [] Cave Bat []Echo Herbs [] Bomb []Bacchus's Wine [] Gray Bomb []Heavenly Wrath [] Revenant []Remedy [] Gatlinghog []Bomb Crank [] Ogre []500 Gil [] Ghoul []=================== Zu [] Centaur Knight [] ===================

Once you're ready, head up the stairs. After a few lines, you'll be attacked!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first fight, you shouldn't be concerned too much - if you want, youcan set up a Cover on Rosa, and also cast Slow on the enmies, and then Protecton Cecil. After that, just attack with Cid and Cecil (Machine Break, their Bandworks well), and heal or buff people with Rosa. If you run low on MP, you cantry using Blessing with Rosa, to save some items (and if you're feeling lucky).The only real threat from these enemies is Whirlwind, which hits all partymembers for 50-80 damage. After this fight, you'll be plunged in another, withno breaks, so make sure you have enough HP!

For the second fight, you'll have an Ahriman cast doom on one of your partymembers right away - there's nothing you can do about this. Again, set up aCover on Rosa if you wish, Cast Slow and Protect, etc. Not much is differentabout this fight - if the counter runs out, be sure to revive your fallenparty member, either with a Phoenix Down or with Rosa's Raise. Also, the threeSpirit's are weak to light, so Cecil can easily kill them. To add insult toinjury, the Ahriman may cast haste on...your doomed party member. What a jerk.Finish off the spirit's quickly, and get that Ahriman down. Don't worry abouthealing anybody you revive - they'll be weak enough that Cecil will cover them.You might get a CURSED RING from this fight. Is it over now? Not yet!

For the last battle, do the same as before - Cover if you want, Slow, Protect,etc. The Strato Avis is certainly a pain - it hits twice, and very hard. Itcan also cast Torando, which reduces your HP to single digits, to make yourlife even more of a misery. Be sure to take it out as soon as you can. Again,Machine Break is useful here. There are also three cockatrices, but theybarely do any damage to anyone. Overall, it shouldn't be too hard. Remember,Cecil will cover weaker teammates - don't worry about healing anyone but him.

After the battle, Cecil will tell Cid to take Rosa somewhere safe, to whichRosa protests. However, Cecil refuses to listen, and Rosa and Cid soon leave.The screen will fade, replaced by, you guessed it, the moon. But what's thatshape...? As it approaches, you'll see it's Bahamut! What's going on? Rydia,no, someone else will jump off Bahamut and land in front of you...who is this?She says your name, and suddenly, Bahamut attacks!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can't win, so just slug away at Bahamut. Eventually, it'll start it'scountdown, and without Reflect, you know you're screwed. Ah well. What's goingon here?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We'll cut back to Ceodore, who is rushing to the Castle (How slow is thatship?). They'll go off course (what a surprise) and the ship will start to fallapart, with Biggs jumping in front of you...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3.030) - The Hooded Man (CEO3)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we'll cut to Feymarch, where Rydia is talking to the Eidolon King andQueen. Strangely, they'll teleport Rydia away. The Eidolon King will call outto someone - it's the Rydia clone! She'll threaten them, and we'll learn thatBahamut was being controlled. Then, she'll petrify them.

Another cut to Eblan, where Edge notices the Tower of Babil, which is pulsingred. I'm guessing that's not good. The dwarves will notice is too. What doesthis mean?

Back to the Red Wings, who have crashed and lay sprawled all over the place.Ceodore, who was covered by Biggs, will awaken, and you regain control of himTalk to everyone to find that everyone else is dead - only he has survived (ofcourse). Even Wedge (Wedgeeee) is dead. Suddenly, Biggs will stir! Ceodorewill rush to him and try to save him, but Biggs apologizes for failing in hisduty. Biggs tells Ceodore to leave, but Ceodore can't summon the courage todo so. He says he's only a squire. Suddenly, a flashback to the beginningof FFIV starts - we see Biggs questioning Cecil, who is being sent to gatherthe Crystals. Back to the present, Biggs orders Ceodore to survive, and returnto Baron, before collapsing dead. Ceodore, the last member of the Red Wings,will swear to fulfill his final wish.

Before you move on, be sure to save. Once you go far enough, you'll beattacked! It's a Domovoi and Gatlinghog - easy enough. But that's not it!Now you'll be attacked by a Flamehound - another scripted battle. Keepattacking, and it'll eventually lower your HP to 1 with Blaze. Suddenly,the Hooded Man comes to the rescue! Ceodore thanks him, and tries to continueto Baron. The Hooded Man stops him, warnign him off trouble. Ceodore says hehas to, as a member of the Red Wings, and the Hooded Man seems to have heard ofthem. He mentions the war, then suggest they head to Mysidia. Finally, he sayshe's coming with us! Yay! Ceodore asks for his name, but the Hooded Man refusesto answer. They leave. Save. And make sure you heal Ceodore - he's still at 1HP.

Now, head left of the airship wreck, and continue left until you reach Mysidia.You could head right from the airship, but that'll take you to Mt. Ordeal,which isn't available to you now.

Which you enter Mysidia, the Hooded Man will tell you where you need to go -head up to the prayer hall, to unlock the seal on Devil's Road. Well, hecertainly knows his way around here. Before you do that, take the time toexplore the village a bit.

Nothing too interesting here - stock up on Potions, Tents, and Phoenix Down'sas you see fit. Nothing too much in way of weapons and armor either - thoughif you really feel unconfident, you may want to grab a healing staff. Otherthen that, head up the the Prayer Hall once you've had your fill of walkingaround. Now talk to the girl blocking the door. It's Porom! She won't recognizeyou right away, but eventually she will, and she'll talk to you about themess with Baron. After that she'll call two generic mages, who will accompanyyou through Devil's Road. She'll seem to recognize the Hooded Man, but heavoids her gaze. Exit.

Before we continue, make sure you save - the area we're about to enter is abit confusing. The mages will come in handy, since you otherwise have no magic.If you bought a healing staff, you can equip it on the white mage - you canuse it in battle (go to items, then scroll up to the top, until you can selectthe weapon you're holding) for a free heal on all your party members. Not bad.

Anyways, once you're ready, head over to the unmarked building right above theinn. The white mage will release the seal. Enter, and step on the pad.

Now begins the fun. You're in a giant room with about 20 teleporters, each onetaking you to a different place. Luckily, each time you'll usually have accessto only about one. This place isn't too hard, but it can be a little tricky.For now, enter the teleporter above you. Avoid the red floor, and before yougo into the teleporter, go through the hidden passage in the top left cornerto get a BOMB FRAGMENT. Go through the teleporter. Head to the right, andchoose the top right teleporter - the bottom one just takes you back to theentrance. Here, head through the lava to get to the next teleporter. Be awarethat you take damage from lava! Head up to the next portal. Now, head into theright teleporter. Here, head up through the hidden passage in the top left toget a PHOENIX DOWN. Head back down to the teleporter. Here, head down to thechest to get a SAGE'S SURPLICE. Enter the hidden passage to the left of it toget a SILVER APPLE. Very nice. Now, get back up, and take the top rightteleporter. From here, head to the right first, which will take you to a chestwith a HI-POTION, ECHO HERBS, and ETHER. Head up, and take the top right again.Now head down. Head down again. Now head all the way right to finally get toa different room, and a save point. Phew, half way there!

Once you're ready, continue onto the next room. Head up through the firstteleporter, then around the next one above, then the next one above that,then directly left of you, then the lower left one, then the lower left oneagain, then the lower one, then the far left one, then finally, the top oneto exit.

- Check the top pot near the Armorer to get a POTION.- Check the pot near the Inn to get a HI-POTION.- Head up the top right part of the city, near the sunbather. Climb down thestairs, and follow the stream, under the bridge, until you get to a pool.You should be blocked as soon as you come out - press "2" to get an ARTICWIND. Now head to the bottom, right a bit, and face up at another invisibleblock to get a SPIDER SKILL.- Enter the Inn, and go straight up. Stand to the left of the strange lookingwall, and press "2" while facing the wall. Enter the not-so-hidden room toget a UNICORN HORN, WHITE FANG, and DRY ETHER.- Enter the equipment store and check the bottom right corner to find an"Authorized Personal Only" door, which will open up. You can actually head upto behind both store fronts, but you won't be able to reach the chests :(

Much more choice then the other places - I like. You can pick up some Spider'sSilk if you want - they can be a very useful slowing item. As usual, stock upon any healing items you find neccesary. Weapons and Armor aren't thatnecessary, but if you want, grab a sword for Ceodore, and some Armor. Don'tbother getting anything for the two mages. Also, grab some Echo Herbs, assilence might become a problem...

Once you're ready, exit Baron, and try to enter the Castle. To Ceodore'ssurprise, he won't be let in. He tries to argue with the guards, but theHooded Man pulls him away. In the field, Ceodore will be puzzled by the actionsof the guards, and the Hooded Man will say something about "just like before".Then, he'll suggest you try to sneak into the castle through the waterway. Ofcourse, we need the key. Head into Baron. Now, head up the top left part ofTown, and enter the big house, which happens to be Cid's. Talk to the bluehaired woman on the left to get the key! Go the door under Cid's house, andopen it with the key. Enter.

Before you head down the stairs, go through the hidden passage in the middle ofthe right wall, to get to a chest with 2000 GIL! Nice. Now head down thestairs.

Follow the stairs as they go along, then head down at the fork, and collect allthree chests for a UNICORN HORN, and a PHOENIX DOWN. Head up and follow thestraight forward path, all the way to the next level. Head down the stairshere, and head down the hidden passage straight down, to get to a chest with aHI-POTION. Continue down to the next passage, which has a MONSTER IN A BOX!It's a fairly annoying Black Lizard, which hits rather hard, and spams gradualpetrify, which means you want to hurry up in this fight. Using a Spider's Silkis definately helpful, as well as the Blizzara spells.

You'll get a CORAL BLADE for your troubles, which you should equip on Ceodore.It's a pretty good weapon, and lightning elemental to boot. Head all the wayto where you started. Now, turn right instead of down. Continue to the right,then head down, to the chest with a REMEDY. See the rock to the right of you,which make a little path? Head through there to save some time, and pop outright by the exit. Head through. This room is short - head to the right, thenup the long stairs. Before you exit, head to the left for a rather obviousSOMA DROP. Now exit. Here, head through the door, and save/heal. There'sactually a hidden passage here, near the top right corner! Head through it toget a chest with a SILVER HOURGLASS! Now go back, head right, head up, and exitthis place. Phew.

Before you go on, uneqip your mages.

Here, head all the way right, then down, then left, until you get to the verybottom left corner. Head up here, and press against the invisible block to get1000 GIL! Head all the back to where you came from, and face the invisibleblock next to the left block representing where you came from to get aBRONZE HOURGLASS. Now, head down the left side the same way you did with theright, and enter the stairs. Head up, and a scene will occur, where Ceodorewill almost run off in search of his parents. The Hooded Man will ask him whohis parents are, and will be surprised by the answer - Cecil and Rosa.Eventually, Ceodore will leave the party, off in search. And so will the twomages. Meh. The Hooded Man will hear a voice - head through the door to get alittle (interestingly, it's actually optional) scene where the Hooded Man willsee many unconcious people in jail. Weird. Head back out.

You should know your way about this place a little already - there's nothingin the tower up ahead, and a save point in the room next to it; save if youwant. To proceed further, go through the door Ceodore went. Head through thestairs until you get to the main room, and head up towards the throne room.You can talk to the zombified guards off to the side, but they also spoutthe same gibberish. Continue to the throne room - wait, no one inside?

Once you try to leave, a voice will stop you. It's Cecil! He's alright, butwhat's he doing hiding in the throne room? The Hooded Man will show relieve,and even though the Hooded Man seems to know him, Cecil will not recognize him.Cecil will act strangely rude, and kick the Hooded Man out, who seems exitsright away. Once he enters the main room, you'll see Ceodore, who can't findanyone. The Hooded Man opts not to tell Ceodore of Cecil, and Ceodore willrejoin the party.

If you haven't made use of the hidden passage to those three chests yet, do sonow. None of the chests have regenerated here, so don't bother checking them.Since you probably don't want to head out the waterway, head out the maindoor, where the surprised guards will kick you out.

You'll appear in a field again, where Ceodore will decide to try to find theEnterprise. The scene will cut to Cecil ordering his knights to chase afterthe uninvited guest. Back with Ceodore, the Hooded Man will realize the jigis up, and he will tell Ceodore to head to Mist Cave. They'll leave, andyou'll unlock a new Band - Cross Slash!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cross Slash - (The Hooded Man "Attack" + Ceodore "Attack")(Slice through a single enemy) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We'll, we've got nothing better to do, so let's head to the Mist Cave! Do anyrestocking in Baron you may need, then head northwest, just like the HoodedMan said - past the bridge, past the forests, and into the mountains path,where you'll find Mist Cave. Enter.

You'll see the entrance blocked by some guard, but the Hooded Man is in nomood for games. Suddenly, the guard turns into an enemy and attacks! This isthe perfect time to test out the band - watch the show, and the enemy is done.Enter.

People who have played the original will remember this place - it's stilljust as simple as before. Follow the very linear path, and as the climb thestairs, the place will rumble. How ominous. Continue on the path, and when youget to the fork, climb all the way up for a chest with a STEEL HELM. Good forCeodore. Head down and towards the bridge, where a short scene will showCeodore falling off the bridge. Why are the heroes always so clumsy?

The Hooded Man will jump after Ceodore, and you can continue. Go down thestairs, and when the fork in the path comes up, head down the left stairs toget a SILENT BELL. Now continue down the other side.

Continue along the path here, until you get to another fork in the road. Headleft and up, to get a chest with a PHOENIX DOWN. Continue following the pathuntil you get to another chest, with a REMEDY. Now head all the way back tothe fork, and head up. Follow that seemingly "into the wall" bridge toenter a secret room, which has a chest with MYTHRIL GLOVES at the top.Equip on Ceodore, and head back out. Continue up, until you see a door andstairs. Enter the door.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------PROTIP - If you save here, you won't be able to return to Baron for a while.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Save/heal if you wish, and talk to Namingway for any supplies.

Once you're ready, head out and down the stairs.

Head down the stairs here, and before continuing down, head up the path tothe right to get an ANTIDOTE. Continue back down. Get the chest along the wayto find an X-POTION. Proceed along, and at the fork, head up, and continueup until you reach the chest with an ARCTIC WIND. Now head back to the fork, andcontinue to the right. Don't bother going down - just head all the way rightand up the stairs.

Here, head left. Head up the first set of stairs to get a COTTAGE, and continueup the second set of stairsa, up until you reach a door. Enter, and open thechest to find CHAINMAIL. Go all the way back down to where we entered from, andhead right. Save at the save point, and make sure to heal up. Head up thestairs when you're ready. The shaking will continue, and a hole will open upin the floor -along with a boss!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tunneler-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Tunneler is mainly a physical attacker, able to deal anywhere from 200-300to one ally depending on the phase, and about 150-230 to both memembers withEarthquake. The bets idea is to use Spider's Silk with the Hooded Man at thestart of battle, along with Awaken, if you wish. After that, this battle is asimple matter of spamming Cross Slash until the boss is dead. It has around8000 HP, so it may take a while, but it's not too bad. Make sure to keep allparty members HP over 300, with either potions, or Cure/Cura. You'll get1000 GIl and 1500 EXP for your trouble.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hooded Man will ask if you're alright, and Ceodore will say he wonders ifthat's the only enemy. The Hooded Man will say probably, but that at one timethere was another. Teehee. Anyways, continue along.

Check the chest here to get a MALLET. Now, head up a bit, and you'll triggera scene with the Baron Soldiers, who are looking for you, but are having a hardtime because of the mist. You'll look ahead, and see more guards blocking yourpath. Suddenly the mist will thicken, and you'll hide in the corner. The guardswill see each other, and since they came in from both sides, assume you can'tbe in the cave, since they had all paths blocked. Except...the one you camefrom? Hm. Ah well.

Continue to the left here, and head down the stairs, and towards the chest,which has a HI-POTION. Now back up, but don't go all the way back - head upnorth. Check the top chest for a BOMB CRANK. The bridge to the left is whereyou fell off from before, so don't bother going on. Head back to where youcame, and head up to the stairs that were previously blocked, to exit thisplace. The Hooded Man, who has seemed to establish himself as the boss, sayswe'll be headind to Mist, to do some rock climbing. Oh boy... But wait -Ceodore will suddenly wonder why the Hooded Man is helping him, and findout that the Hooded Man is chasing after an Ex-Baron Dragoon... The scenewill change back to Mysidia, where a...prayer is going on? Apparently, adragon is crying. Another original cut to the moon. And a cut to Mt. Ordeal,where we see...KAIN???

On the PlayStation Portable version of the game, this is the end of Ceodore'sTale. You can now gain access to Ceodore's Challenge Dungeon by returning tothe Mist Cave and talking to Namingway. This cannot be accessed in the Wiiversion and thus directions for Ceodore's Challenge Dungeon are beyond thescope of this guide. Some of the items you can get from clearing Ceodore'sChallenge Dungeon include the following:Flan RingLustful Lali-hoAdamantiteMythril gear

The boss of the dungeon is an Adamantite Golem. There's also a PlaystationPortable exclusive monster in the dungeon as well. It is called Noctiluca.

The next section of this guide covers what the PlayStation Portable versionof the game calls "Kain's Tale". PlayStation Portable version players willnot be able to access Kain's Tale until they complete at least one other Tale.PlayStation Portable players will be returned to the title screen afterclearing Ceodore's Tale. Later when you're ready to begin Kain's Tale,continue from this point for the walkthrough directions. You'll be able toimport data from Ceodore's Tale into Kain's Tale before you begin it.

(3.040) - Kain's Struggle (KAN1)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So anyways, we're heading to Mist and...oh wait, we get to play as Kain! Oh,joy. He's much stronger then anyone else so far, and can use the commandJump, where he...jumps off screen, where he cannot be attacked, and lands backdown on an enemy, striking a powerful blow. This damage is not affect by row.

Anyways, head across to the left, and pick up the chest with MYTHRIL ARMOR.Now, head back to the right, ignoring the exit for now. Right now, we want toclimb down the mountain. Keep going down, until you get to the bottom, andhead left to get a chest with a ANTARCTIC WIND. Now head back to the right andexit.

Continue down the one way path to the next exit.

Here, head down yet another linear path, collecting the first chest, MYTHRILGLOVES, the second chest, COTTAGE, and head down the winding path down to theentrance. Suddenly, Kain will hear a voice (how original). Now, we head allthe way back up. Ugh. Head back to where you started. You'll hear the voiceagain - keep going. Remember the exit at the top I told you to ignore? Gothrough there now.

From here, head up and to the save point on the right. Save if you want.Actually, you probably should.

Now head up and across the bridge. Don't worry, no undead fiends should backattack you. The voice will speak again...oohhh... Examine the monument in themiddle. You'll appear in a chamber, designed by someone who seems to lovemirrors. The voice will continue to creep you out, and your reflection willjump out of the mirror, and of course attack you!

The Logo will flash. Lol, wut? Come on.

You'll see the moon again.

And you'll see...Kain on the mountain again? Did I reset my Wii...?

But no, you'll hear a scream...Head to the right, and you'll see Poromfighting some monsters, and you'll jump in, and totally whup them. Man,if Jump were always like that... Porom will recognize you, and Kain, justlike everyone else in this game, will not recall her.

Cut to a scene of Mysidia, where you will see mages collapse all overthe place, and Kain speaking to the Rydia clone. Kain will pull out a Crystalwhich will flash pretty colours. Ooh. It's the real thing! Kain will only handit over though...if he gets to kill Cecil! Wut? Porom will try to stop Kain,but he'll do that awesome Dragoon stuff and jump into Devil's Road. Time toplay tag wih Rydia! The teleporters work the same as before, and there is onlyone way to go. You'll also see the Rydia clone ahead of you from time to time,and she will question why you hate Cecil. Head up the first teleporter, and gothrough the hidden passage in the top left to get a MYTHRIL SWORD. When youget to the next teleporter with the hidden passage, go through it to get aDECOY. After the next teleporter, get the chest in the hidden passage for aMYTHRIL SHIELD , and the normal chest for a HI-POTION. Get the three chests fora BRONZE HOURGLASS, MYTHRIL HELM, and ZEUS'S WRATH. Continue on, and when youget to the last part near the top, ignore the first teleporter, and go to theright to follow the Rydia Clone.

- You can go to the secret room in the Inn again - the treasure chests willregenerate and contain an ETHER, GOLD NEEDLE, and UNICORN HORN.- Check the pot outside the Inn again to get a HI-POTION.- Check the pot near the Armorer again to get a POTION.- Head through the secret water passage near the sunbather again to get toinvisible blocks which contain a PHOENIX DOWN and HI-POTION.- You can find a Lustful Lali-Ho in Cid's house, one the bookshelf to thefar right. Check it out in your inventory for an exciting scene. You canonly find this here in the WiiWare version.

There's no real reason for you to check any of the shops, which have the sameitems as before. Head out of town and enter the Castle. The Rydia Clone willgrant you access.

- You can check out the newly regenerated chests in the main room throughthe secret door again, to get a X-POTION, RED FANG, and REMEDY.- Go back to the east tower - all the treasure has regenerated! Run throughthe floors and grab the PHOENIX DOWN, BRONZE HOURGLASS, HI-POTION, ECHO HERBS,BACCHUS'S WINE, HEAVENLY WRATH, HI-POTION, WHITE FANG, X-POTION, COTTAGE,REMEDY, and HERMES SANDALS.

Now head towards the throne room. Talk to the Rydia Clone, who will let youthrough. A scene will occur, where you find Cecil isn't there, and the RydiaClone instead wishes to test your resolve. The Rydia clone will make you goon a fetch quest, and you agree. Leave the throne room, and head down. Asoldier will stand in your way, telling you you can board the ariship now.Head all the way out now, and board the airship. Talk to the guy bythe steering wheel to proceed...

Meanwhile...

Now, you rejoin Ceodore in Mist, where the Hooded Man will tell you thatyou'll be heading up the mountain face now. Oh boy. But first, check out Mist.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------PROTIP - Remember all the stuff you collected with Kain? If you didn't equipit, take a moment to put all that stuff on. You can put the Mythril Sword oneither Kain or Ceodore - you'll get another nice weapon for the other person,which will heal the user. Take that into consideration when equipping.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Check out the tombstone near the top of the village for a neat scene.- Check our the invisible block near the trees at the bottom right corner ofthe pool near the tombstone for a BOMB CRANK.- Enter the house to the left of the tombstone. Looks empty, huh? Walk intothe fire place to find a secret passage, to a room with three chests - aPOTION, HI-POTION, and PHOENIX DOWN. But that not it! Continue through thewall to the right to find another hidden passage - follow it to find a roomwith a BLOOD SWORD, a very good weapon which drains energy from enemies.- Head through the rather obvious "hidden passage" to the bottom of thevillage, to get to two invisible blocks with a HEAVENLY WRATH AND ARCTIC WIND.

Here, you'll see that the cave side seems impassable - but the Hooded Mantakes command and orders you on. Oh well.

Climbing the mountain is fairly linear and simple - you can only climb straightup, and you must start off where ever a ledge appears. Head up the first three, and you'll come to a fork - head to the right ledge, then down the next ledgeto get to two chests - HI-POTION and BONE WRIST. Equip the BONE WRIST. Headback to the fork, and head up to the left. Go up until the next screen.

Head up the left path to get a chest with a COTTAGE. Head down and continueto the right. You'll come to another fork - head left here first. It mayseem to be a dead end, but head right through the wall, and climb down tothe chest to get a GAIA DRUM. Head back up the first two ledge now, butinstead of going back to the fork, save yourself some time and just head up.

Follow the linear path up till the next screen. Keep following the path, untilyou get to the fork. Now, head down the ledge to get a SLEEP BLADE, which canput enemies to sleep. Equip on whoever doesn't have the Blood Sword. Head up.Go to the next screen.

Save here, and heal if you wish. Then, go past the save point, we're you'llfind that you can head down the other side. Proceed.

Keep heading down here, until you see the scene where Ceodore falls. Ugh.Follow down with the Hooded Man. Next screen.

Keep heading down here, until you get to the three way path. First, go to thetop left path, next to where you just came. Follow that all the way up to achest with an ETHER. Head back down, but take the little ledge down the leftbefore you go all the way back, which leads to a chest with HERMES SANDALS.Head back to the three way, and take the bottom right path down, then go to theledge on the right, to reach a chest with a FLAME SHIELD. Equip. Now go backdown and talk to Ceodore. Now go all the way down, and out of this place. TheHooded Man will congratulate you since you did it despite your crappy climbingskills, and you'll see Kain fly by, heading to Damcyan.

Here, you'll see Kain thinking of something, then flash back to the cave,where you fight a scripted battle against what appears to be Shadow Kain, whowhups you, and appears to take your place. Hmm...

Also, Kain will flash his bling. Ooh, shiny.

Now, head up with Ceodore, then right. Keep walking through the desert untilyou see Kaipo above you - head there. The Hooded Man will tell you to rest inthe Inn. But first, let's check out Kaipo!

- Head to the top of the town to see the gravestones of Tellah and hisdaughter, Anna. Play FFIV for moar information about them. Man, recall wasso fun :(- Check out the top pot near the Weapon Shop to get a POTION.

Make sure you keep your stock of healing items up to date - besides the usualpotion, echo herbs and tents, grab a couple maiden's kisses and antidotes -they could come in handy.

As for weapon and Armor, you can get some minor upgrades, but they aren'treally worth the price tag, such as the Flame Sword. Much too expensive. Theonly real thing to consider here is the Bone Wrist, but even that is a bitof a stretch, and isn't essential.

If you've got the Blood Sword equipped, equip something else.

Now rest in the Inn like the Hooded Man told you to.

ZOMG, zombies! Battle tiem!

This battle can actually be really hard, considering how fast these zombiesmove. Using Cross Slash should kill each in one hit, and be sure to do thisas fast as you can. The zombies can hit hard, and drain, though drain isn'tmuch of a problem because you can finish them in one hit. If one of your partymembers starts taking a lot of hit, be sure to heal them. Speed is of theessence in this battle.

After this, you'll decide to head north, and you'll go bed.

Now, head out of Kaipo when you're ready, and head north, then right to thecave. Requip Blood Sword if you want.

Once you enter the cave, head straight up to get to two chests - HI-POTIONand ICE SHIELD. Equip this one whoever doesn't have the Flame Shield. Head backand take the left route. When you come to a small fork, head down to get aMaiden's Kiss, then head back up. When you come to another fork, just keepheading right, all the way until you see the long staircase headin down. Followit down, and head up the first waterfall to get a X-POTION.

Now head back down and fall the water to the left. Once you come to the bigwaterfall, enter it through the middle part to get to a hidden grotto with aSILENT BELL, SPIDER SILK, and an ETHER.

Now, head back to the giant staircase, and head back all the way to the left.From here, head up to access the next floor.

Here, follow the linear path, until you enter the water. Here, you'll wantto avoid going down for now, and instead head up the nearby stairs, whichwill lead you up to a SPIDER SILK. Now, head back down to the other stairs.You'll come to one more fork, but head left to get a HI-POTION. Now, headbacktrack a bit, then head down, and follow the path until you get to a door.

Enter the door, where you'll find a savepoint, and the Hooded Man will forceyou to sleep. You'll cut to Kain, who is just outside Damcyan. Enter Damcyan,and head for the throne room. Kain won't want to really explore the castle,so you might as well get this over with. Once you enter the throne room, you'llsee Edward, who doesn't seem surprised to see Kain despite his words...

Back with Ceodore, you'll see him having nightmares. Eventually, you'lregain control.

Now proceed to the next part of this room!

Head up and across the bridge, and head up to get a MONSTER IN A BOX!

It's a Mythril Golem - and boy, does he hit hard! Make sure you heal anyonewho gets hit right away, and attack him with Cross Slash whenever you can. Ifsomeone has the Sleep Blade on, you can actually put him to sleep while usingCross Slash! You may want to consider using a Spider Silk to slow him down ifyou're having trouble. You might get an ICE BRAND and MYTHRIL SHIELD for yourtrouble. Nice. You might want to consider putting the Ice Brand on the HoodedMan, and putting either the Sleep Blade or Blood Sword on Ceodore. Whicheversuits you better. Personally, I opted to put on the Sleep Blade, since I waspretty lucky with putting things to sleep.

Now head down, and follow the linear path to the next door. Enter.

Here, follow the path until you get to a fork - ignore the left for now, andfollow the path to get another two chests - a ZEUS'S WRATH and FLAME MAIL.Equip the Flame Mail. Probably best on Ceodore. Now, head back to the fork,head to the left, and continue through the next door.

Here, you can head right to access a secret passage, which seems only like ashortcut to the treasure chest, which contains a HI-POTION. However, once yougo through the passage, enter again, and try to head up - you'll find you canhead up and to the right, leading an area which contains a REMEDY. Now headback and up the stairs.

Here, head up, and once you get the chance, head to the left to find two chestswith a TENT and BACCHUS'S WINE. Head back, and cross the bridge to the right.And of course, once you see the door, head down first, too find a PHOENIXDOWN and DRY ETHER. Now exit.

Now cut to Kain, who demands he receive the fire crystal. Edward will engaugein some pointless banter, trying to see what Kain really wants. Eventually,he says he is unwilling to give up the crystal. Kain is about to kill Edward,when Rosa runs in.

Cut back to Ceodore, outside. Save and heal if you must, then proceed. Tryto continue with the Waxing Moon phase - it'll make things easier.

Enter the cave, and jump down the waterfall. Whee!

Cut back to Kain, who says he isn't being mind-controlled, and wants Rosa tobe his. All of his reinforcements will also show up. Edward will refuse, andopen a box, which turns out to be a Carnelian Signet, which is an item Kainis familiar with. Creepy music. Oh, and all the soldiers die too. Now you'llattack Edward!

You can't hurt Rosa, because you'll miss eveytime. Whenever you attack Edwardyou'll hear Rosa protest. You can attack Edward until he dies, or wait outthe battle and lose, which will result in a game-over. So, fight Edward.Once you win, you'll claim the Fire Crystal, and Kain will grab Rosa.

Back to Ceodore. Head out of the water, and follow along the path. Once youget to the big stairs, head down to find a POTION and HEAVENLY WRATH.Now get back up and head to the left. Head through the door.

Go the right, and grab the chests, containing a HI-POTION and PHOENIX DOWN.

Now follow the path up, head into the water, and head up into the space in thewaterfall for a boss battle!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Octo-KrakenOcto-Leech x 4-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two main ways to defeat this boss, but start off the same way - slowdown the boss with a Spider's Silk, and throw on a Hermes's Sandals on bothyour characters, if you want. You can also cast Protect on your party forextra defense. Now, you can either spam Cross Slash on the main body, healingeverytime your health goes below 300, or you can Cross Slash the tentacles toget them out of the way first, before you finish the main body. Since youshould be fighting in a phase that weakens black magic, the tentacles shouldn'trealize pose much of a problem, and your best bet is to simply spam CrossSlash on the main body, healing from time to time. Really, this battle isn'thard at all. He has about 8500 HP, and gives 1004 Gil and 2502 Exp whendefeated. He may also drop a Potion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now head out. A scene will occur, where Ceodore and the Hooded man arrive toolate, and we see Kain on the airship with Rosa. Suddenly, it's attacked, andwe see Cid on the Enterprise! Kain will fly away to Baron, and you'll regaincontrol.

Now, enter Damcyan. Don't bother with the airship just yet.

Head up to the throne room. Ceodore will find his mother gone, Edward and Cidwill blame themselves, and the Hooded Man will jump at the mention of Kain,who then orders everyone after him.

Cut to Kain, who is flying to Baron to kill Cecil, with Rosa in tow.

Cut to Ceodore, who is giving chase with Edward, Cid and the Hooded Manto Baron...

Cut to Kain, you will regain control of. Unequip him
