The second edition FF2 'handbook' -written by Ben Siron 4/13/96
a.k.a. 'bensiron@cco.caltech.edu'
thanks to Adam Lederman for all of the information in his FF2 guide. it gave
me a lot of ideas on things to research, which I present in this new guide in
addition to all the non-game genie information which he originally compiled
FF2 = Final Fantasy II for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES),
distributed by Squaresoft. I have no affiliation with Squaresoft, and this
document is not intended for sale. Use it however you want. All that I
wish is that you give me credit for writing it, if you are providing it to
others.
recent thanks to 'D', who can be contacted using the email address
'slmry@cc.usu.edu'. 'D' gave me corrected physical and magical damage
algorithms, although I still can't verify how any of the defense and %
abilities work. 'D' also gave me useful info about the effects of conditions
like 'curse' and the special abilities of certain classes, and this was enough
of a headstart to attempt an exhaustive list of conditions and special
abilities. finally, there are numerous other corrections to damage ranges and
special items in this version which are due to 'D'
recent thanks to Ryan Myers (rmyers@teleport.com), who filled in some blanks
about the effects of the bard's SING action
if you find anything amiss, missing, or badly explained (however trivial) with
this guide, E-mail me, and I'll take note of it. E-mail me also if you find
out any really cool tips, strategies, etc...

LV - level
basic stats - the statistics of STR, AGI, VIT, WIS, and WILL. these are not
derived from any other statistic, but they can be modified by
equipment
derived stats - the statistics of ATT, A%, xA, DEF, xD, D%, MD, xM, and M%.
these are completely determined by basic stats, LV, and what
is being equipped
(DMG) - this special effect means that the attack ignores the effects of
target's armor or resistance.
(secret) - this item is very hard to find: you have to be lucky and win it
in battle. very likely, you will play through an entire game
without ever finding this item
(sneak) - if you have a ninja in your party, he can 'sneak' items from the
enemies. the success rate of this depends on relative agility
ratings
(dummy) - this item was taken out of the american or later versions of the
game (for some unknown reason), and you can't get it unless
you have a game genie (the code still exists to handle the
item, though)
Mathematical notation:
[x] = the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
for instance, [ (57/4) ] = [ 14.25 ] = 14,
where / indicates division.
(x,y) represents a range of possible point values,
not less than (x) and not more than (y)
for instance (200,300) means anything between 200 and
300, including 200 and 300 (the endpoints)
(...)k represents that amount in thousands. for example, 100k
means 100,000
target - some place that you can cast a spell to, attack, use an item on, etc...
ex. - your allies and your enemies are targets in a battle
enemy - a target in battle which is on the left side or on the right side if
you are attacked from behind. a charmed enemy is still an
enemy. an enemy of an enemy is an ally. an ally of an enemy
is an enemy
ally - a target which is not an enemy. a charmed ally is still an ally.
phase - the unit of time inside of a battle during which the 'count' condition
is decremented (very short; 1-2 of these happen between
actions of each character)
turn - the unit of time inside of a battle required for all allies to
take an action
HP leak - target creature continues to lose HP after the initial attack at a
rate of (1,16) HP per phase for about 4 turns
attack - any action taken inside of a battle, except for COVER/OFF, HIDE/SHOW,
CHANGE, (run away), and PARRY
physical attack - any attack which is carried out by using the ATTACK, JUMP,
KICK, AIM, or DART option
magical attack - any attack which is carried out by using the BLACK, WHITE,
CALL, NINJA, ITEM, SING, PEEP, or TWIN option
c.a. - counterattack: this technique will be used immediately(even if the game
is paused) by the creature whenever it is attacked in a
certain way, but is not eliminated by the attack. the target
of the counterattack doesn't have to be the original attacker
ca:p - counterattack to physical attacks
ca:m - counterattack to magical attacks
outside - the state of wandering around on the overland map (not being in a
town, dungeon, in battle, etc...)
heal - when this word is in lowercase, it means that any damage this attack
inflicts is instead added to the target's HP, unless the
target is undead, in which case the heal attack does damage
like any other attack. when this word is used in uppercase,
it refers to either the spell or the item called 'HEAL',
which has a totally different effect
======================= 1: STATISTICAL & DAMAGE ALGORITHMS ===================
- - - -=- -=- DAMAGE CALCULATION ALGORITHMS -=- -=- - - -
the results of nearly all attacks which produce damage are derived from a
few numbers, the base, the 'damage multiplier' ('dm.'), xA, and the defense
of the target (MD or DEF)
(exceptions: the DART ability which is available to your ninja, and special
attacks which do damage based on the MHP of the target)
calculation of damage for all physical and magical attacks besides the
exceptions listed above:
base value for physical attacks besides DART:
---------------------------------------------
: base = attacking character's ATT.
: if using the dragoon's 'JUMP' option, base -> ( base x 2 ).
: if the attacker is 'berserk', base -> [ base * 3/2 ].
: if the target of the attack is 'small' or a 'toad', base -> ( base x 2 ).
: if the attacker has 'curse', base -> [ base / 2 ].
damage multiplier (dm.) for a physical attack:
----------------------------------------------
: dm. = 1.
: if the weapons being used have elements associated with them which apply to
the elemental multipliers of the target, take the biggest such
multiplier = e. if e is positive, dm. -> (dm. x e)
: if the weapons being used have race multipliers (such as x4 vs. dragons),
take the biggest such race multiplier = r. dm. -> (dm. x r)
(note that you can inflict very large amounts of damage if race and
elemental multipliers apply simultaneously)
base values for magical attacks:
--------------------------------
: every spell or item has a base peculiar to it, as listed in the magic
section. base = listed value.
dm. for a magical attack:
-------------------------
: dm. = 1.
: if the attack has an element associated with it which applies to the
elemental multipliers of the target, let this multiplier be e.
dm. -> (dm. x (absolute value of e)).
: if the target is an ally, dm. = 4.
damage from all attacks besides DART and certain special monster attacks:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
: range = [ base/2 ].
: if base was calculated from the RHP of the target (example: the caller
spell of MIST), and range > 255, range = 255.
: damage = ( base + (0,range) ) x dm..
attacks using DART:
-------------------
: damage = LV(of ninja) x (power of weapon being thrown) + (1,100).
(this attack counts as DMG.)
(note that elemental and race multipliers do not affect this kind of attack)
special monster attacks doing damage based on MHP of the target:
----------------------------------------------------------------
how damage from this is calculated is explained in the special attacks
section much further on.
target's resistance:
--------------------
: if the attack is DMG, the target may not resist.
: else, for a magical attack against a target which is an ally and not a
monster, damage -> ( damage - (0,MD) ).
: else, for a physical attack, damage -> ( damage - (0,DEF) ).
number of hits multiplier:
--------------------------
: for a magical attack, xP = the effective black, white, or item magic
multiplier (as explained in the magic section).
damage -> ( damage x (some function of xP) ). the function by which the
multiplier is determined eludes me, but in the limit of the target having
low magic resistance (xM and M% are small), the multiplier is usually xP.
if the target was an ally, the ally does not resist and the multiplier is
always xP. in all cases, the function produces an integer in the range of
(0,xP).
: if this magical attack was an S/A spell split to multiple targets (as
explained in the magic section), # of targets = n.
damage -> [ damage / n ], for each target.
: if the attack was physical, damage -> ( damage x (some function of xA) ).
the function used here also eludes me, but in the limit of low armor
(xD and D% small, %A (of attacker) about 99%), it is usually just xA.
in all cases, the function produces an integer in the range of (0,xA).
attacks using DART:
-------------------
damage = LV(of ninja) x (power of weapon) + (1,100) points of DMG
corrections:
------------
: if damage < 1, then damage = 1.
: if # of hits = 0 (where this was a factor), damage = 0.
: if damage > 9999, damage = 9999, except in rare circumstances which are
explained individually.
sign of damage (hurt vs. heal):
-------------------------------
: if damage = 0, don't display any numbers, the attack was a miss.
: if the attack was a draining type attack (such as casting PSYCH or
attacking with the DRAIN sword), and the target was undead, the sign of the
damage is negative, which also results in the attacker taking positive
damage (DON'T DRAIN UNDEAD!!)
: if this attack was a heal, negate the sign of the damage.
: if this attack was a heal and the target was undead, negate the sign of
the damage again. this means that undead take positive damage from healing
type attacks.
: if this was a magical attack which had a negative elemental damage
multiplier ( e < 0 ), make the sign of the damage negative.
: if attack was CURE4, don't display any numbers.
: if the damage is positive, damage the target (RHP -> (RHP - damage) ) by
this amount. the numbers which appear will be white.
: if the damage was negative, recover the target ( RHP -> (RHP + damage) ) by
this amount. the numbers which appear will be green.
: if damage > 9999 for some weird reason, damage the target by the actual
calculated amount, but only display the last four digits of the damage
( damage mod 10000 ).
sometimes during a physical attack the screen will flash, indicating a
critical hit. I don't know what effect this has in the algorithm
- - - -=- -=- STATISTICAL ALGORITHMS -=- -=- - - -
here are the ways in which derived stats are obtained from LV and the basic
stats; consider the value of the basic stats to be what they are after being
modified by equipment (as is shown to you on the statistical info subscreen):
: LB = [ LV/4 ],
: for the the karate man, use LB = (( LV + 1 ) x 2) instead.
: SB = [ STR/4 ].
: VB = [ VIT/2 ].
(note that LB, SB, and VB are not displayed, they are just variables I have
invented to make calculations simpler. they stand for Level Bonus, Strength
Bonus, and Vitality Bonus, respectively)
: ATT = LB + SB + (weapon power).
: if the character is ambidextrous and is equipping a different weapon in
either hand, ATT = ( LB + SB + (left weapon power) ) +
( LB + SB + (right weapon power) ).
: if the character is equipping a bow & arrows and the arrows are in that
character's good hand, ATT = (arrow power) + (bow power) + SB;
if the arrows are in the weak hand (if the character isn't ambidextrous),
ATT -> [ ATT * 4 / 5 ].
(if the character is equpping a two-handed weapon, it does not
matter what hand the weapon is in, or whether the character is ambidextrous
or not: ATT = LB + SB + (weapon power))
: xA = [ STR/8 ] + [ AGI/16 ] + 1
: A% = 50% + [ LV/4 ] + (weapon bonus to A%. if the character is ambidextrous
and is equipping two weapons, the bonus to A% is the average of the bonuses
from the two weapons)
: DEF = VB + (sum of all DEF armor ratings)
: xD = [ AGI/8 ] + ( [ LV/16 ] if a shield is equipped)
: D% = 30% + (sum of all D% armor bonuses)
: MD = (sum of all MD armor ratings)
: xM = [ (WIS + WILL)/32 ] + [ AGI/32 ]
: M% = [ (WIS + WILL)/8 ] + (sum of all M% armor bonuses)
======================= 2: ACTIONS AND CHARACTER CLASSES =====================
character classes determine what weapons and armor can be equipped.
what spells the character can cast and learn, how the character gains in
statistics at every level up, and what other miscellaneous special actions
that the character can use are mainly function of the individual identity of
the character (not the same for all characters of a given class).
- - - -=- -=- AVAILABLE ACTIONS -=- -=- - - -
all classes may use ATTACK, PARRY, (run away), ITEM, or CHANGE as an action in
battle. in addition to this, certain classes have the following special
actions available to them:
PALADIN (P): WHITE COVER/OFF
DRAGOON (D): JUMP
DK.KNIGHT (K):
CALLER(young) (@): WHITE BLACK CALL
CALLER(mature) (C): BLACK CALL
SAGE (S): WHITE BLACK
KARATE MAN (K): KICK
BARD (B): HIDE/SHOW SING
ENGINEER(chief) (E): PEEP
WH.WIZ (W): WHITE AIM(rosa only) TWIN(palom only)
BL.WIZ (B): BLACK TWIN
LUNARIAN (L): WHITE BLACK
NINJA (N): DART SNEAK NINJA
ATTACK - launch a basic physical attack at any available target
PARRY - do nothing; during this time and until this character gets another
prompt to take an action, defense in increased in some way i'm not sure of
CHANGE - all allies in the back row move to the front row and vice versa
ITEM - use an item in the party's inventory, change equipment in the left
and/or right hand of the character taking this action, move items around,
and/or use an equipped weapon as an item
(run away) - this option is not explicitly listed, but it can be used at any
time by holding down the left & right buttons. this will only be successful
if at least one ally is available to take an action(or is already taking an
action), you are not in a subcreen of the main action window, and the game
is not paused. you can also quit trying to run away at any time by
releasing the left & right buttons, at which time you may give the ally who
is ready a different action. if (run away) is successful, the battle will
be aborted and you may lose an amount of gold exactly equal to 1/4 what you
would have won if you had stayed and fought
WHITE - shows a listing of all white spells that the character knows
BLACK - shows a listing of all black spells that the character knows
NINJA - shows a listing of all ninja spells ...
CALL - shows a listing of all call spells ...
COVER - attempt to intercept most physical attacks aimed at a chosen ally by
an enemy and become the target of the attack instead. the paladin will
automatically COVER any fatigued ally (one with HP <= [ MHP/4 ])
OFF - cancels the previous COVER directive
JUMP - leap high into the air to launch a physical attack against a single
enemy target with double the normal base ATT value. a JUMP takes a full
turn to execute, and while in the air the dragoon may not be the target of
any kind attack. all attacks which are directed to target the dragoon
before a JUMP, but are not executed until the dragoon is already in the air
will be ineffective or will target a different ally
PEEP - this has the same effect as the white spell of PEEP, but it's free
AIM - a bow & arrow must be equipped to be able to use this action. AIM makes
a physical attack as is normally done at single target, except that A%
becomes 99%. AIM has no extra side costs that I can see, so it seems to be
superior to the ATTACK option in every way
DART - sacrifice a weapon in the party's inventory to cause exactly
LV(of ninja) x (power of weapon) + (1,100) points of (DMG) to a single
target. the special abilities and elemental attributes of the weapon that
you use as a dart are irrelevant. you could target an ally with this
action, but the attack would be ineffective, and you would still lose the
weapon forever
SNEAK - attempt to steal an item from a target. if the target is slow, has
'stop','paralyze', or 'sleep', or your ninja is fast, the chances of this
attack being successful are increased. the type of item stolen will always
be the same for a given type of monster, and is listed further on. a
successful SNEAK from a given monster does not in any way decrease the
chances of being able to SNEAK from that same monster again. you can
potentially SNEAK an infinite number of items from a given monster. SNEAK
may be targetted against an ally or an enemy boss, but it is never effective
in these instances. the SNEAK attack is neither magical nor physical
TWIN - either palom or porom may initate this action if both characters are in
your party and have the capability to cast at least a 10 point magic spell
(i.e. neither has 'mute','swoon','stone','pig', etc...). once chosen, the
other ally will terminate whatever action that has been started, and they
will both begin casting either FLARE or COMET. if either ally is
incapacitated in the process of casting, TWIN will be aborted. the effects
of TWIN when cast successfully are listed in the magic section
HIDE - if HIDE is used, the ally may not be the target of any attack, and any
attack that was targetted at the hidden ally before HIDE was executed will
fail or be redirected to another ally, as is the case with JUMP. the only
action available to a hidden ally is SHOW
SHOW - cancels the previous hide directive
KICK - launches a physical attack against all enemy targets. i'm not sure
exactly how this works
SING - if successful, SING has one of three effects to a signle target, chosen
randomly: (1) - song of Silence = MUTE
(2) - song of Charm = CHARM
(3) - Lullaby = SLEEP
I'm not exactly sure how likely it is that SING will be successful...
================================= 3: CONDITIONS ==============================
there are 19 different ways to alter a character so that the change appears
as a change in status (that I know of):
WALL
D
PETRIFY
COUNT
STOP
BERSERK
CHARM
SLEEP
PARALYZE
FLOAT
CURSE
POISON
DARKNESS
MUTE
PIG
SMALL
TOAD
STONE
SWOON
a character may have several of these conditions simultaneously, but the
status window will only show the one that is lowest (most severe) on the list.
the other reason I have given the 19 conditions in a specific order is that
for the most part, one condition cannot be set if the target already has a
condition that is more severe (lower on the list). ex- if the target is
'mute', and you try to cast BERSK on it, the spell will be ineffective
because you can't set the 'berserk' condition once 'mute' has already been
set. you can however remove conditions which are less severe than ones the
target already has. ex- if the target is a 'toad' and a 'pig' at the same
time (this is possible if you first cast PIGGY on it, and then TOAD), you can
still use PIGGY to remove the 'pig' condition. there are a few exceptions to
this severity rule:
- stop, wall, count and poison may be set over anything but stone or swoon
- any condition may be set over float
- any permanent condition may be set over any other permanent condition if
the action is done outside of battle
in the explanation of these conditions, 'nP' means non-permanent. it may not
exist or persist outside of battle. 'Pm' means permanent. this condition
will stay with the target until it is actively removed, and may even persist
if the target swoons and is revived later
WALL:nP: a 'wall' lasts for about 1-2 turns and will reflect many kinds of
magical attacks so that the spell ends up targetting an enemy of the
original target instead. a wall will not reflect an attack which already
been reflected once. most attacks which only target multiple targets may
not be reflected. Reflectable: all black & white spells except PEEP,QUAKE,
METEO,the special monster attacks of MEGANUKE,EMISSION,COUNT(fataleye),
DISRUPT, the ninja magic of PIN, all weapons used as items except
DANCING(knife). Not Reflectable: all call spells, all other ninja spells,
all other black & white spells, the special monster attacks of ENTANGLE,
(2xattack),BLIZZARD(blue d.),CURSE(d.fossil),PETRIFY(blackliz),
NEEDLE(swordrat), and all other item use.
any other special monster attacks which I have not listed as either
Reflectable or not I am not sure about.
a 'wall' is only visible when it is cast or triggered and appears as a round
crystal shield in front of the target.
D:nP: 'D' is probably a bug resulting in a mismatched character string for
this condition. if a target has 'D', it is 1/3 of the way to becoming
'stone', and will gradually move on to the 'petrify' condition by waiting
long enough. 'D' has no ill side effects and is visible by the target being
gray below the waist
PETRIFY:nP: 'petrify' means that the target is 2/3 of the way to becoming
'stone', and will gradually move on to the 'stone' condition by waiting long
enough. 'petrify' has no ill side effects and is visible by the target
being either totally grey or grey below the shoulders
COUNT:nP: a 'count' begins at 10 and is decremented at every phase, unless the
target also has 'stop'. if it is decremented while at zero, the target will
'swoon'. 'count' is visible as a green two-digit number which sits over the
target's head and is updated as count as decremented
STOP:nP: 'stop' means that the target may take no actions and is also more
vulnerable to magical and physical attacks, as well as the ninja ability of
SNEAK. the target may spontaneously break out of this condition without
outside help. 'stop' is only visible when it is cast, and appears as a
green clock with the minute hands going through four freeze-frames
BERSERK:nP: a 'berserk' target may not be controlled. the target takes twice
as many actions as is normal and uses them all for basic physical attacks.
as mentioned before, the base power of these physical attacks is multipled
by 3/2. 'berserk' is only visible when it is cast, and appears as a cosmic
ray which envelops the target from above
CHARM:nP: a target with 'charm' is confused and cannot be controlled. the
target will begin to take random actions at a rate twice as often as is
normal to benefit its enemies and harm its allies. if the target takes
damage from a physical attack (magical and other attacks do not affect the
'charm' state), 'charm' is removed. if 'charm' is set, the target is freed
from the conditions of 'stop' and 'berserk'. 'charm' is visible as a
rotating green aura overhead of the target
SLEEP:nP: 'sleep' means that the target may take no actions. the target may
spontaneously break out of this condition without outside help. 'sleep' is
visible as a blue tear dripping out of the eye of the target
PARALYZE:nP: a target with 'paralyze' may take no actions. the target may
spontaneously break out of this condition without outside help, unless this
condition has been automatically imposed by being in cave Magnes with metal
items equipped before defeating the Dark Elf. if all characters have
'paralyze' for this reason, your party will automatically perish immediately
upon entering battle. 'paralyze' is visible as colorful electricity buzzing
to either side of the target
FLOAT:quasi-Pm: 'float' disappears if you return to the outside from a battle,
dungeon, or town, or enter/exit any map. 'float' means that the target is
immune to QUAKE and TITAN, and does not take damage from floor squares
outside of battle. 'float' does not grant immunity to stairways or
pitfalls. some enemies such as 'eagle' float naturally. 'float' is visible
because the target will bob up and down in mid-air above an oval shadow
CURSE:Pm: a target with a 'curse' has its base power for physical attacks
halved, as mentioned before. 'curse' is visible as a black cloud floating
overhead
POISON:Pm: a target with 'poison' will lose 1 HP for every step taken outside
of battle, and inside of battle the target will lose [ MHP/8 ] HP once every
( 5+[ VIT/2 ] ) phases. a target with 'poison' has a purple face
DARKNESS:Pm: 'darkness' means that the target's A% is halved. a character
with 'darkness' wears shades
MUTE:Pm: 'mute' prevents the target from casting spells. the target may still
use items or special monster attacks. if a target is 'mute', yellow
dialogue will blink overhead
PIG:Pm: 'pig' prevents the target from casting anything but PIGGY, and
prevents using the special ability of AIM. a 'pig' will look like a pig
SMALL:Pm: 'small' reduces the target's ATT to 0. DEF, Dx, and D% all go
to 0, and as mentioned before, the bases of all physical attacks against
'small' targets are doubled. 'small' targets may not use the special
abilities of DART,COVER,JUMP, or AIM. a 'small' target will look like a
tiny doll
TOAD:Pm: 'toad' reduces the target's attack and defenses in the same manner as
'small'. in addition, a 'toad' may not cast anything but TOAD, and may not
use any special abilities peculiar to certain classes. a 'toad' will look
like a toad
STONE:Pm: a character with 'stone' may take no actions and may not be target
of any action besides the HEAL item or spell. a 'stone' enemy is
automatically eliminated. setting the 'stone' condition removes the
conditions of count and berserk. if all allies in your party become
either 'stone', 'swoon' or have automatic 'paralyze' as mentioned before,
your entire party perishes immediately. a 'stone' target is completely grey
and hunched over, immobile
SWOON:Pm: a character with 'swoon' may take no actions and may not be the
target of any action besides LIFE1, LIFE2, the LIFE item, or ASURA.
setting the 'swoon' condition means that HP = 0, and that the conditions
of wall, charm, count, stop, berserk, paralyze, sleep, and poison are
removed. to 'swoon' is to be on the edge of death, face down to the ground
=================================== 4: MAGIC =================================
BLACK:
the effectiveness of black magic is dependent on the WIS stat of the caster.
some spells have a base damage, which is then multiplied by the black magic
multiplier, B, which is determined as B = [ WIS / 4 ] + 1.
WHITE:
likewise for white magic, the power of the spell is dependent only on WILL.
there is a similar white magic multiplier, W = [ WILL / 4 ] + 1.
some spells can only be cast on a single character (S), some can only be cast
on all allies or all enemies (A), and others you can choose between one target
and multiple ones (S/A).
if you choose to split a (S/A) spell to multiple targets, the total effect
will be divided up equally among the targets by supposing that you had cast
the same spell to each of the targets individually. if the spell has a
multiplier associated with it, each target recieves the spell with a
multiplier of the original divided by the number of targets. ex.- you cast
FIRE3 on 5 targets, and your caster has WIS = 30. so B = [ 30/4 ]+1 = 8.
each of the 5 targets will recieve a FIRE3 spell with a B multiplier of 8/5
certain spells have elemental attributes and/or base numbers associated with
them. this is indicated in the 'Attribute/Effect' column. ex- F:24 x B
means that the spell will attack the targets it is aimed at with the element
of fire, a base of 24, and in this case the black magic multiplier will apply
to the damage that is done
an 'nC' abbreviation in the effects column means that the preceding result
only applies outside of combat. a 'Cb' abbreviation means that the preceding
result only applies inside of combat situations. if the explanation omits to
provide a result for one of the two situations, then this means that the spell
is not available to cast in that situation
other miscellany: the column 'who learns it/when' gives only approximate
levels at which the spell is learned. Z-13 means that a Bl.Wiz would learn the
spell at around level 13. S-(MO) means that the sage learns the spell at mount
ordeals. C-(SM) means that the caller learns this in the land of summoned
monsters. # means that the spell is known by the character at the time that
they join your party. any black or call spell that the young Caller learns is
retained until you meet her in her matured state, but all of the white spells
that the young Caller learns are lost
DONT DRAIN UNDEAD! PSYCH and DRAIN are draining type spells; if you cast them
on undead, you will give away lots of MP or HP to your enemies!

unique effect - if you use a cure spell outside of battle to heal a single
target, that target will gain exactly ([WILL/8]+2) x ([WILL/2]+Z) HP, where
Z is the base power that the spell would have in combat. if you choose to
divide the spell, the total healing amount is the same, but it is
divided equally among all allies. the only exception is CURE4, which will
have the same effect outside of combat as it does in combat, if it is cast
on a single target

=================================== 5: ITEMS ===================================
item cost represents how much you have to spend to buy the item. in most
cases, the resale value of an item is half of its original cost
a '!' in the cost column means that the item can't be traded, dropped
or sold.

some weapons are two handed, and you can equip them in either hand without
penalty, but you can't use a shield at the same time. these are indicated
with a prefix of '2.' before the name
some weapons can be used as items to cast spells. for instance, using the
white spear as a item casts white at x2, meaning that the white magic
multiplier is effectively 2, no matter what the WILL stat of the character
using it is
the dart section is a list of all the weapons which your ninja can throw as
darts. anything not in this list can't be thrown using the dart option. this
list also contains the base strength of the dart, which factors in as
explained in the damage algorithms section
as advised before, draining undead creatures will work in reverse. so
for the love of god, don't attack them with the drain spear or drain sword.

there are four types of item shops, which will be denoted A,B,C, and D. what
these shops sell (in order) are:
TYPE A: CURE1, LIFE, TENT, CARROT, HEAL, ETHER1

TYPE C: HEAL
TYPE D: CURE2, LIFE, CABIN, ETHER1, ETHER2, ELIXIR, WHISTLE
each town or settlement possesses either a shop of one of these types or no
item shop at all:
Baron, Kaipo, Fabul, Toroia, Agart: A
Mysidia, CoD*, Eblan, Tomra, land of SM^: B
Silvera: C
Hummingway's(on the moon): D
Mist: no shop
(^land of summoned monsters) (*castle of the dwarves)
================================= 6: MONSTERS ================================
monsters here are listed first by their picture type and secondly by the order
in which you meet them in the game. race type can be important in determining
weaknesses. for instance, the ARTEMIS(arrow) is x4 vs. dragons. 'D.Fossil' is
a dragon, so if you shoot those arrows at it, it will take four times as much
damage as it would normally take, as was described in the damage algorithm
section
experience listed is that which you would recieve with 5 characters in your
party, if you were to fight one of those monsters all by itself. total
experience given is the sum of the experience reward for each one of the
monsters defeated (if they run away before you kill them, they don't count).
if you have fewer than 5 characters in your party, say 3, each one get 5/3 as
many experience points (xp), so that the total experience rewarded remains
constant
money awarded is also additive per monster, and the ones that run away don't
give you anything. since you only keep one pool of money for your entire
party, this isn't split up
some monsters are weak vs. certain elements. this will be indicated with an
attribute before the number of HP it has. one letter for the attribute means
that the monster takes double damage from that element. two letters means
quadruple damage. a minus before the letter means that an attack with that
attack with that attribute causes reverse damage. physical attacks ignore a
negative multiplier. a '#' sign before the letter means that all attacks with
that element cause 0 damage. for instance, -F,LL: 250 in the HP column means
that the monster has 250 HP, magical fire attacks will heal it, and it takes
(x4) damage from all lightning attacks
if you have a ninja, he can SNEAK items from enemies during a battle. what
item you will get from each monster is listed in the 'Sn' column
some monsters have special attacks used in certain circumstances. what these
attacks are and when they are invoked is described in the 'Special Attacks'
column. a tactic listed in parenthesis and lowercase is a name I have given
the attack because in reality it has no name. (DMG) which is a fraction of
the MHP of the target and is elemental in nature is always exactly [ MHP/2 ]
if the target is weak vs. that element, and is always exactly [ MHP/10 ] if
the target resists that element. the effects of these special attacks will
be explained first:

============================= 7: TIPS, TRICKS, ETC. ==========================
to duplicate any item which can be equipped in the left or right hand (such as
a shield, sword, rod, axe, etc...), first get into battle, making sure that
one of your characters has the item that you want duplicated equipped. when
that character's is prompted to take an action, go to your item list, select
any blank space in it, and then select the item you want duplicated(which must
be in the left or right hand). this will switch the item with the blank space
in the item list. now leave the item list and then run away from battle.
when you try to re-equip the item outside of battle, there will be two of them
in your hand at once. remove the item from your hand again and there will now
be two of them in your item list.
this tactic is especially useful in building up money quickly near the middle
of the game, and is also useful when you get the ninja. just duplicate the
drain spear or excalibur sword a few times, and throw the extras as darts.
you'll do outrageous amounts of damage, and since it is (DMG), the dart attack
ignores the target's armor. this makes for a good way to defeat bosses.
unfortunately, you can't duplicate the spoon dart, but if your ninja is above
level 50, the excalibur sword is practically just as effective. you can pick
up the excalibur sword as soon as the big whale spaceship is available to you.
I find that a few excalibur darts will make short work out of bahamut, the
cpu, odin, 'plague', etc... never leave home without them!
to equip any weapon or shield(that your ninja can SNEAK) on any character,
first make sure that you have none of the item that you plan to SNEAK already
in your inventory. now, enter battle and SNEAK from an enemy that will give
you a weapon or shield. the next ally available to take an action can now use
the ITEM option to equip the stolen weapon or shield, regardless of whether or
not that ally belongs to the right character class. this trick only works for
the action immediately following SNEAK, so you should use the FORM option
before entering battle to set things up right so that the desired character
follows after your ninja. if you decide to remove the stolen equipment at a
later time, you may not put it back on unless that character could normally do
so. in some cases immediately following the battle in which you execute this
trick, your statistics may not reflect the new piece of equipment. all you
need to do in this case is go to the equip window, and then you come back to
the statistics window - everything will be alright. during the battle in
which you stole the equipment, if you try using the equipment as an item,
strange things will happen, the effect usually being guaranteed elimination of
one target. in subsequent battles, the equipment will act normally if used as
an item
this trick is actually not as useful as it sounds, as there isn't much good
stuff that you can SNEAK. what I find most useful is giving the caller a
silver shield
if you want to find that damned PINK tail(in order to get the ADAMANT armor -
armor which is so unbelievably powerful that it's not even funny), prepare to
be frustrated. a pink tail can only be obtained from beating a PINKPUFF
group, and the only place that you will ever find a pinkpuff is in a tiny room
in B5 of the Lunar Subterrain. to find this room, it is best to start from
the last chance saving spot before ZEROMUS on B7. exit this room and go the
left, then back up two floors so that you will be on the bottom of the screen
on B5. there will be a small room immediately to the right, and a stairway a
little bit further to the left. enter the room on the right. in this room,
there should be a treasure chest on the far right wall which contains a CABIN.
wander around this room for an eternity and run from everything which is not a
pinkpuff (if you have a game genie, there exists an item to summon a pinkpuff
immediately). there is a small chance that you will win a PINK(tail) from
fighting pinkpuffs. in the event that you get lucky and recieve the tail, you
can take it to the small dude who collects tails in the mine southeast of
Silvera
make use of weakness multipliers whenever possible. often, an area will
contain monsters that are weak against the items you can find there. for
instance, the path to the lunar core has lots of dragons. near the entrance
you'll have the opportunity to sneak artemis arrows from karys. take 40 or 50
and shoot them at whatever dragons cross your path. it will make a big
difference
if you know that one of your party members is going to leave you, remove all
their equipment before they do. anything they have when they leave you, you
will never see again. one good example of this is making sure that you keep
at least one defense sword in your item list before your dragoon betrays you
in the sealed cave. later, you can re-equip him with it, which will be an
improvement over the gungnir spear. at the very least, you can resell all the
stuff your old characters used to have
I find that it's convienent to move the -sort- option to the top of the item
list. moving around items is something you're probably going to do a lot, so
you might as well have the option where you can use it
some monsters will only attack if you attack them first (such as behemoth).
so if you only attack with your strongest characters, and have the rest parry,
you will take less damage. also, some monsters will constantly use elemental
special attacks if they are alone. if you are not well protected, you could
easily lose your entire party in seconds. so, if you run into one such
monster in the company of other monsters, try to kill the ones with the
special attacks first, or get them all at once with a strong magic spell
secret passages are sometimes indicated by dark gray against the black of the
walls. you may not be able to see them if the brightness on your TV is turned
down. some secret passages of particular usefulness are in the village of
mist, inside a burned out fireplace. you can find the rod of change and a
tiara helmet there. save the tiara for your reunion with your wh.wiz,
although ultimately it will be put to the best use by your caller. there are
also secret pitfalls in castle eblan, secret passages in the sylvan cave, cave
of summoned monsters, the lunar subterrain and many other places. one
exception to this pattern is an invisible bridge on the left side of B6 of the
Lunar Subterrain for which there is no indication of a secret passage. this
bridge leads ultimately to a saving point, and the WYVERN boss who guards the
awesome CRYSTAL sword. always be on the lookout for secret powerups hidden in
jars, tall grasses, shallow water, and bookshelves too
