The second edition FF2 'handbook'     -courtesy of Ben Siron  9/19/95a.k.a. 'bensiron@cco.caltech.edu'thanks to Adam Lederman for all of the information in his FF2 guide.  it gaveme a lot of ideas on things to research, which I present in this new guide inaddition to all the non-game genie information which he originally compiledrecent thanks to 'D', who can be contacted using the email address'slmry@cc.usu.edu'.  'D' gave me corrected physical and magical damagealgorithms, although I still can't verify how any of the defense and % abilitieswork. '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 headstartto attempt and exhaustive list of conditions and special abilities. finally,there are numerous other corrections to damage ranges and special items in thisversion which are due to 'D'if you find anything amiss, missing, or badly explained (however trivial) withthis guide, E-mail me, and I'll take note of it. E-mail me also if you find outany really cool tips, strategies, etc...(this listing was made in an evenly spaced font, lines 80 characters wide,with 8 characters per tab)- - - -=- -=-  -=< CONTENTS >=- -=- -=- - - -0: DEFINITIONS & ABBREVIATIONS..................03%1: STATISTICAL & DAMAGE ALGORITHMS..............09%	damage algorithms	.	.	09%	statistic algorithms	.	.	13%2: ACTIONS & CHARACTER CLASSES..................16%3: CONDITIONS...................................22%4: MAGIC........................................36%	black	.	.	.	.	39%	white	.	.	.	.	42%	call	.	.	.	.	45%	ninja	.	.	.	.	47%	other	.	.	.	.	48%5: ITEMS........................................49%	weapons	.	.	.	.	49%	armor	.	.	.	.	58%	other	.	.	.	.	66%6: MONSTERS.....................................72%	special attacks	.	.	.	73%	monster stats	.	.	.	78%7: TIPS, TRICKS, ETC. ..........................93%======================== 0: DEFINITIONS & ABBREVIATIONS ========================Character classes:K - dark knight (cecil)	D - dragoon (kain)		@ - caller (young) (rydia)	C - caller (matured) (rydia)		S - sage (tellah)		P - paladin (cecil)		T - karate man (yang)		B - bard (edward)		Z - black wizard (porom)	E - engineer (cid)		N - ninja (edge)		L - lunarian (fusoya)		W - white wizard (palom, rosa)Damage attributes:	A - arrow		F - fire(elementals)		S - sacred		D - darkness			I - ice			L - litStatistics:	STR - strength		AGI - agility		VIT - vitality		WIS - wisdom		WILL - willpower	MHP - maximum hit points		MMP - maximum magic points		RHP - remaining hit points (current health value)		ATT - attack value	A% - hit %		xA - attack multiplier		DEF - defense value	D% - defend %		xD - defense mutiplier	M% - magic evasion %		MD - magic resistance value		xM - magic resistance multipler		LV - levelbasic stats - the statistics of STR, AGI, VIT, WIS, and WILL.  these are not		derived from any other statistic, but they can be modified by		equipmentderived 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.

Formally speaking,Z would be ( base, Max{ [ base x 3/2 ], base + 255 } ) x 'd.m.'.  so, if youcast 'MIST' with an RHP of 3500, the random range of Z would be (1750,2005), andNOT (1750,2625)if the attack is (DMG), the target does not get a chance to stop it and we letN = Z.  otherwise,for a magical attack, let N = Z - (0,MD), unless the attack is made by an allyagainst an ally, in which case the target does not resist and N = Zfor a physical attack, let N = Z - (0,DEF)in the case of a magical attack, let xP = either the effective black or whitemagic multiplier (as explained in the 'magic' section), or the constantmultiplier which is peculiar to an item being used.  multiply N by a numberbetween 0 and xP.  this function eludes me, but it is close toxP - ((xM) x (M%)).  if the attack is made by an ally against an ally, thetarget does not resist, and we multiply N by xPif N < 1 then N = 1in the case of a physical attack, multiply N by a number between 0 and xA.  theexact function also eludes me, but it depends on xA, xD, %A, %D, and bonuses forbeing in the front rows or not.  on average, it is ((xA) x (A%)) - ((xD) x (D%))if N > 9999, then N = 9999, except in rare circumstances which are explainedindividuallyfinally, if the attack is a draining type attack (such as casting PSYCH orswinging the DRAIN sword), and the target is undead, make the sign of Nnegative (DON'T DRAIN UNDEAD!!).the effective damage done by the attack to the target is N.  if N is negative,then most likely the attack will heal the targetsometimes during a physical attack the screen will flash, indicating a criticalhit.  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 basicstats; consider the value of the basic stats to be what they are after beingmodified by equipment (as is shown to you on the statistical info subscreen):let the level bonus be known as 'LB' = [ LV/4 ], except for the karate man, forwhich 'LB' = (LV + 1) x 2.  let the strength bonus be known as 'SB' = [ STR/4 ].let the vitality bonus be known as 'VB' = [ VIT/2 ].ATT = LB + SB + (weapon power).  if the character is ambidextrous and isequipping a different weapon in either hand, ATT = LB + SB + (left weapon power)+ LB + SB + (right weapon power).  if the character is equipping a bow & arrowsand the arrows are in that character's good hand, ATT = (arrow power) + (bowpower) + SB; if the arrows are in the weak hand multiply this ATT value by 4/5(this penalty does not apply to ambidextrous characters).  if the character isequpping a two-handed weapon, it does not matter what hand the weapon is in, orwhether the character is ambidextrous or not: ATT = LB + SB + (weapon power)xA = [ STR/8 ] + [ AGI/16 ] + 1A% = 50% + [ LV/4 ] + (weapon bonus to A%.  if the character is ambidextrous andis equipping two weapons, the bonus to A% is the average of the two bonuses)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 are the main way in which the characters in your party havediffering abilities.  classes determine what weapons and armor can be equipped,what spells the character can cast and learn, how the character gains instatistics at every level up, and what other miscellaneous special actions thatthe character can use- - - -=- -=- AVAILABLE ACTIONS -=- -=- - - - all classes may use ATTACK, PARRY, (run away), ITEM, or CHANGE as an action inbattle.  in addition to this, certain classes have the following special actionsavailable to them:PALADIN (P):		WHITE		COVER/OFFDRAGOON (D):		JUMPDK.KNIGHT (K):CALLER(young) (@):	WHITE		BLACK		CALLCALLER(mature) (C):	BLACK		CALLSAGE (S):		WHITE		BLACKKARATE MAN (K):		KICKBARD (B):		HIDE/SHOW	SINGENGINEER(chief) (E):	PEEPWH.WIZ (W):		WHITE		AIM(rosa only)	TWIN(palom only)BL.WIZ (B):		BLACK		TWINLUNARIAN (L):		WHITE		BLACKNINJA (N):		DART		SNEAK		NINJAATTACK - launch a basic physical attack at any available targetPARRY - 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 ofCHANGE - all allies in the back row move to the front row and vice versaITEM - 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 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 foughtWHITE - shows a listing of all white spells that the character knowsBLACK - shows a listing of all black spells that the character knowsNINJA - 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 directiveJUMP - 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 allyPEEP - this has the same effect as the white spell of PEEP, but it's freeAIM - 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 wayDART - 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 foreverSNEAK - 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 physicalTWIN - 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 sectionHIDE - 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 SHOWSHOW - cancels the previous hide directiveKICK - launches a physical attack against all enemy targets.  i'm not sure  exactly how this worksSING - ?================================= 3: CONDITIONS ================================there are 19 different ways to alter a character so that the change appearsas 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			SWOONa character may have several of these conditions simultaneously, but the statuswindow will only show the one that is lowest (most severe) on the list.  theother reason I have given the 19 conditions in a specific order is that for themost part, one condition cannot be set if the target already has a conditionthat is more severe (lower on the list).  ex- if the target is 'mute', and youtry 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 removeconditions which are less severe than ones the target already has.  ex- if thetarget is a 'toad' and a 'pig' at the same time (this is possible if you firstcast 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 laterWALL: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  waistPETRIFY: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 shouldersCOUNT: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 decrementedSTOP: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-framesBERSERK: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 aboveCHARM: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, '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 targetSLEEP: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 targetPARALYZE: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 targetFLOAT: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 shadowCURSE: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   overheadPOISON: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 faceDARKNESS:Pm: 'darkness' means that the target's A% is halved.  a character with  'darkness' wears shadesMUTE: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 overheadPIG:Pm: 'pig' prevents the target from casting anything but PIGGY, and prevents  using the special ability of AIM.  a 'pig' will look like a pigSMALL: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  dollTOAD: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 toadSTONE: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, immobileSWOON: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 magicmultiplier, 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 onall allies or all enemies (A), and others you can choose between one target andmultiple ones (S/A).if you choose to split a (S/A) spell to multiple targets, the total effect willbe divided up equally among the targets by supposing that you had cast the samespell to each of the targets individually.  if the spell has a multiplierassociated with it, each target recieves the spell with a multipler of theoriginal 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 targetswill recieve a FIRE3 spell with a B multiplier of 8/5certain spells have elemental attributes and/or base numbers associated withthem.  this is indicated in the 'Attribute/Effect' column.  ex- F:24 x B meansthat 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 thedamage that is donean 'nC' abbreviation in the effects column means that the preceding result onlyapplies outside of combat. a 'Cb' abbreviation means that the preceding resultonly applies inside of combat situations.  if the explanation omits to provide aresult for one of the two situations, then this means that the spell is notavailable to cast in that situationother miscellany: the column 'who learns it/when' gives only approximatelevels at which the spell is learned. Z-13 means that a Bl.Wiz would learn thespell at around level 13. S-(MO) means that the sage learns the spell at mountordeals.  C-(SM) means that the caller learns this in the land of summonedmonsters.  # means that the spell is known by the character at the time thatthey join your party.  any black or call spell that the young Caller learns isretained until you meet her in her matured state, but all of the white spellthat the young Caller learns are lostDONT DRAIN UNDEAD!

'D.Fossil' isa dragon, so if you shoot those arrows at it, it will take four times as muchdamage as it would normally take, as was described in the damage algorithmsectionexperience listed is that which you would recieve with 5 characters in yourparty, if you were to fight one of those monsters all by itself.  totalexperience given is the sum of the experience reward for each one of themonsters 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 asmany experience points (xp), so that the total experience rewarded remainsconstantmoney awarded is also additive per monster, and the ones that run away don'tgive you anything.  since you only keep one pool of money for your entireparty, this isn't split upsome monsters are weak vs. certain elements.  this will be indicated with anattribute before the number of HP it has.  one letter for the attribute meansthat the monster takes double damage from that element.  two letters meansquadruple damage.  a minus before the letter means that an attack with thatattack with that attribute causes reverse damage.  physical attacks ignore anegative multiplier.  a '#' sign before the letter means that all attacks withthat element cause 0 damage.  for instance, -F,LL: 250 in the HP column meansthat the monster has 250 HP, magical fire attacks will heal it, and it takesquadruple damage from all lightning attacksif you have a ninja, he can SNEAK items from enemies during a battle.  what itemyou will get from each monster is listed in the 'Sn' columnsome monsters have special attacks used in certain circumstances.  what theseattack 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 theattack because in reality it has no name.  (DMG) which is a fraction of the MHPof the target and is elemental in nature is always exactly [ MHP/2 ] if thetarget is weak vs. that element, and is always exactly [ MHP/10 ] if the targetresists that element.  the effects of these special attacks will be explainedfirst:- - - -=- -=- MONSTERS' SPECIAL ATTACKS -=- -=- - - -Tactic		Effect(2xattack)	attack twice and resolve both hits at onceABSORB		monster recovers HPALERT		summons another monsterARMOR		boosts resistance to weapon attacksBEAK		stone one targetBEAM		(DMG) = [ MHP/10 ] to a single targetBIG BANG	1200(DMG) and HP leak to all alliesBIG WAVE	(DMG) = [ MHP/4 ] to all alliesBLAST		a weak attempt to paralyze one allyBLK.HOLE	removes wall in all alliesBLAZE		I:(DMG) = [ MHP/4 ] to all alliesBLITZ		L:(DMG) = [ MHP/2 ] to one targetBLIZZARD	I:264 to all alliesBLUSTER		paralyze or swoon one targetBREATH		set charm, mute, small, darkness, pig, and toad in one targetCALL		summons another monsterCALL(golbez)	summons SHADOWCHARM(mind)	charm all alliesCOLDMIST	I:(DMG) to all allies(combine)	morph into 'Calbrena'COUNT		give 'count' to one target  (fatal eye)COUNT(plague)	give 'count' to all alliesCOUNTER		(DMG) to one character  (antlion)COUNTER(larva)	boosts magic resistance(croak)		all Tinytoads present cast TOADCRUSH		guaranteed swoon to one targetCURSE		curse one target(dance)		all allies and enemies become berserkDIGEST		(DMG) to one targetDISRUPT		guaranteed swoon to one targetEMISSION	F:? to all alliesENTANGLE	paralyze one targetEXPLODE		sacrifice self to cause exactly the RHP of caster as (DMG) to a		  single target (damage done may exceed 9999)FIRE		F:(DMG) = [ MHP/5 ] to all alliesFISSION		damage to one targetGAS		darkness or paralyze to all alliesGLANCE		turn one ally to stoneGLARE		(DMG) to all alliesGLOBE199	(DMG) = 9999 to one allyHATCH		the monster inside the egg will become visibleHEAT RAY	F:? to all alliesHOLD GAS	guaranteed paralyze to all alliesHUG		heal target to MHP and stone itJUMP		this is just the dragoon's JUMP optionKICK		this is just the karate man's KICK optionLASER		(DMG) = [ MHP/5 ] to one targetMAGNET		weak attempt to paralyze one targetMASER		(DMG) to all alliesMEGANUKE	damage to all allies(morph)		monster diasappears and summons a different, undamaged monsterNEEDLE		(DMG) to a single targetPETRIFY		sets the 'D' condition.  if 'D' is already set, this sets the		  petrify condition.  if petrify is already set, the target		  becomes stonePOISON		(DMG) and poison to all alliesPOLLEN		HP leak to all alliesPOWDER		darkness to a single targetRAY		same as PETRIFYRECOVER		cast LIFE2 on all componentsREMEDY		heal 2000 HPREPORT		cast PEEPRETREAT		(run away)SEARCH		cast PEEPSLAP		randomly charm, curse, mute,or cause darkness in a single targetSPIN		boosts resistance to everything, may be on or off.  if SPIN is		  on, user will look like a tornado.  may be switched off by a		  successful JUMP attackSTORM		WEAK to all alliesSWORD ATTACK	4000(DMG) to all alliesTORNADO		[ (caster's RHP)/20 ] (DMG) to all alliesTHUNDER		L:(DMG) = [ MHP/4 ] to all alliesVAMPIRE		cast DRAIN, then HP leak to one targetWAVE		(DMG) to entire party- - - -=- -=- MONSTER STATS -=- -=- - - -Monster/Type/MHP		Gold	XP	Sn	Special AttacksIMP		6		10	4	CURE1IMP.

Ifind 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, firstmake sure that you have none of the item that you plan to SNEAK already in yourinventory.  now, enter battle and SNEAK from an enemy that will give you aweapon or shield.  the next ally available to take an action can now use theITEM option to equip the stolen weapon or shield, regardless of whether or notthat ally belongs to the right character class.  this trick only works forthe action immediately following SNEAK, so you should use the FORM option beforeentering battle to set things up right so that the desired character followsafter 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 somecases immediately following the battle in which you execute this trick, yourstatistics may not reflect the new piece of equipment.  all you need to do inthis case is go to the equip window, and then you come back to the statisticswindow - everything will be alright.  during the battle in which you stole theequipment, if you try using the equipment as an item, strange things willhappen, the effect usually being guaranteed elimination of one target.  insubsequent battles, the equipment will act normally if used as an itemthis trick is actually not as useful as it sounds, as there isn't much goodstuff that you can SNEAK.  what I find most useful is giving the caller a silvershieldif 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 befrustrated.  a pink tail can only be obtained from beating a PINKPUFF group, andthe only place that you will ever find a pinkpuff is in a tiny room in B5 of theLunar Subterrain.  to find this room, it is best to start from the last chancesaving spot before ZEROMUS on B7.  exit this room and go the left, then back uptwo floors so that you will be on the bottom of the screen on B5.  there will bea small room immediately to the right, and a stairway a little bit further tothe left.  enter the room on the right.  in this room, there should be atreasure chest on the far right wall which contains a CABIN.  wander around thisroom for an eternity and run from everything which is not a pinkpuff(if you havea game genie, there exists an item to summon a pinkpuff immediately).  there isa small chance that you will win a PINK(tail) from fighting pinkpuffs.  in theevent that you get lucky and recieve the tail, you can take it to the small dudewho collects tails in the mine southeast of Silveramake use of weakness multipliers whenever possible.  often, an area willcontain monsters that are weak against the items you can find there.  forinstance, the path to the lunar core has lots of dragons.  near the entranceyou'll have the opportunity to sneak artemis arrows from karys.  take 40 or 50and shoot them at whatever dragons cross your path.  it will make a bigdifferenceif you know that one of your party members is going to leave you, remove alltheir equipment before they do.  anything they have when they leave you, youwill never see again.  one good example of this is making sure that you keep atleast one defense sword in your item list before your dragoon betrays you inthe sealed cave.  later, you can re-equip him with it, which will be animprovement over the gungnir spear.  at the very least, you can resell all thestuff your old characters used to havei find that it's convienent to move the -sort- option to the top of the itemlist.  moving around items is something you're probably going to do a lot, soyou might as well have the option where you can use itsome monsters will only attack if you attack them first (such as behemoth).  soif you only attack with your strongest characters, and have the rest parry, youwill take less damage.  also, some monsters will constantly use elementalspecial attacks if they are alone.  if you are not well protected, you couldeasily lose your entire party in seconds.  so, if you run into one such monsterin the company of other monsters, try to kill the ones with the special attacksfirst, or get them all at once with a strong magic spellsecret passages are sometimes indicated by dark gray against the black of thewalls.  you may not be able to see them if the brightness on your TV is turneddown.  some secret passages of particular usefulness are in the village ofmist, inside a burned out fireplace.  you can find the rod of change and atiara helmet there.  save the tiara for your reunion with your wh.wiz, althoughultimately it will be put to the best use by your caller.  there are alsosecret pitfalls in castle eblan, secret passages in the sylvan cave, cave ofsummoned monsters, the lunar subterrain and many other places.  one exceptionto this pattern is an invisible bridge on the left side of B6 of the LunarSubterrain for which there is no indication of a secret passage.  this bridgeleads ultimately to a saving point, and the WYVERN boss who guards the awesomeCRYSTAL sword.  always be on the lookout for secret powerups hidden in jars,tall grasses, shallow water, and bookshelves too
