The Cave of Trials

An eight floor dungeon containing weapons and armor for the party members you couldn't use for the final dungeon in the original. Once you unlock Party Switching and head back to Mysidia, you'll be informed of a new challenge at Mt. Ordeals. A scene will occur once you get there and the Cave of Trials will be accessable.

Easy rare encounters with one 'Siren'

If you use the Siren item, the game automatically sends you into the rarest encounter on the current floor/part of the world you are on. With just one Siren and the handy soft reset, you can use that one Siren to get a rare fight when you need it, if a save point is nearby. Simply save the game, then use the Siren and you will get the rare encounter. Do a soft reset (A+B+Select+Start) and the first fight you get into should be the rare encounter for that floor and you still have the Siren item. A test example that works great is to go to the Summoned Monsters town, then save. Go back to 3F of the Cave of Summons then use the Siren. You should confront two rairyuu/Thunder Dragons. Do a soft reset, then go back to 3F and walk around until you get into a fight. It should be with two Thunder Dragons. Use this to get some of the harder to encounter enemies if you do not have a large stock of the Siren item.

Psycho Edward Glitch

This takes advantage of Edward's auto-hide property when he is in critical status (low HP). First, berserk him, then take him down to critical (tornado works well). He should hide in his next available turn. However, he retains his berserk status, and in his next available turn, he'll reappear and attack again. He will still be berserked, but he'll also still be considered "hidden." That means that he'll constantly attack and never be able to be targetted, even by spells that should hit the entire party, as long as one other person is still alive (he can't hide if he is the only person left alive). On the negative side, it also means you can't heal him, even with party healing spells.

Fight Flan Princess without using Siren/Alarm

The Flan Princess can be found in the final Lunar Subterane area on Floor B5 in the southeastern most room. This enemy has the probability of dropping a Pink Tail which can be traded for an Adamant Armor, the strongest armor in the game. The rate at which you fight the enemy and the rate in which it drops the item however is very rare (1/64 chance for both). Follow this process to be able to fight a set of Flan Princesses very frequently without having to use a Siren/Alarm item, and in turn greatly increase your chances to score a Pink Tail: 1) Get to the room on Floor B5 where you can encounter the Flan Princess. It is a room with a treasure box in it, and the room is shaped slightly like an unspide-down L. 2) Quick save the game when you enter the room, and once you come to the Final Fantasy 4 title screen, cut the power off to your GBA system. 3) Turn your game back on, go to the main menu on the title screen, and select Continue. When given the option to continue your quick save, press B to go back to the title screen. 4) Select continue again from the title screen, and this time, select Yes when given the choice to restart your game. 5) Walk around within the room. One of two things will commonly happen. You will either immediately fight a group of 5 Flan Princesses within taking a few steps. or You will fight a series of 5 battles. The first battle will be a Gold Dragon and a Silver Dragon, and the next three battles will be Dinozombies respectively. Run from these battles if possible. On your fifth battle, you will fight a set of Flan Princesses. For each battle you complete, you will score a large amount of gold and a decent amount of experience. You will also have a chance for an item drop. As soon as you finish a battle, quicksave, and restart the process as many times as you wish to fight as many Pink Princesses as you can.

Zemus

As the story progresses, you will find out that...well, I won't ruin the surprise, but it concerns Golbez and a Lunarian called Zemus, who is so EVIL that even though buried in the Core and sleeping, his mind can still control people for Evil. Zemus waits for you at the end of the Core. When you arrive, Golbez and FuSoYa will fight Zemus and destroy him with W. Meteo, which gives Zemus 9999 damage. After the battle, all seems well until... FLASH! CRACK! BOOM! FLASH! With a burst of light and a boom of sound, Zeromus, the living essence of the hatred of Zemus and all other beings, will appear. Instantly, he will destroy everyone except Golbez and FuSoYa, who will fight, but to no avail. They too are defeated by Zeromus. Suddenly, from the Tower of Wishes on Earth, the Elder, Palom, Polom, Cid, Yang, Cid's Assistants, and more will all wish for you. Suddenly, our Paladin awakes, with only 1 HP. Golbez gives him the Crystal. Our hero approaches Zeromus and says 'Zeromus! For all the people of Earth, I will destroy you!' With that, our hero attacks Zeromus. Suddenly, the wishes arrive. First Palom and Porom restore the parties' lives. Then all the other wishers give energy which restores the party to max HP and MP. Now the battle begins. First, use the Crystal and start calling Bahamut if you have the ability. The crystal will change Zeromus into a being that is half the size of the screen. Don't be afraid, this guy isn't tough if you have Asura and/or Cure4. After you use the Crystal, settle in for a 100000 HP monster to defeat. For the Ninja Edge, select DART and use these in the following order of power if you have them:

Spoon Dagger

Gungnir Spear (Equip Kain with the Spear of White)

Excalibur Sword

Defense Sword

Avenger Sword

Light Sword

Any and All Ninja Stars

Any and all Shuriken Stars

This combination should do a ton of damage. Combined with the attack of the Crystal Sword, Bahamut, the Spear of White, and the Murasame and Masamune Swords, you should win. The main attack of Zeromus is BigBang, which may cause up to 2000 damage to every party member. Always use either Cure4 on everyone by pressing right on the control pad, or call Asura. Either way, keep attacking. After a while, Zeromus will fall, and you will see an ending that is worth it. You will see the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and two moons circling the sun. You will see Palom and Porom. You will see the Dwarfs and the Engineers. You will see Yang on the throne of Fabul, and Edward, King of Damycyan. You will see the wedding ceremony of Rosa and Cecil. Kain standing atop Mount Ordeals. You will see...the credits (oh boy) + METEORS!!! Have Fun!

How do I reach the four treasure chests below the town of Summoned Monsters?

To reach the chests, go to the first floor of the town. In the lower right area there is a hidden spot you must walk on. It looks like a normal piece of the floor, except it is outlined in brown. Step there and you will go to the room with the four chests. A note of caution: If you want to stay in the town after opening the chests, walk back to the tile you came in on. The other tile in the room warps you back outside.

How do I get the Pan

Once you have gone through the Sylvan cave and found yang sleeping, go to the overworld and talk to Yang's wife. She will give you the Pan. Then return to Yang and use it on him. Then you will receive the call magic Sylph. If you return to see Yang's wife after that, she will give you the spoon dagger, which can only be thrown by Edge. There is only one in the game, so save it for Zeromus. It takes 9999 damage.

Information about the Core

Some additional information you should know about the Core's Crystal Tile section is:

1. The monsters cannot be run from, but CAN be avoided. DO NOT touch ANY tile that you do not HAVE to cross, and you will see fewer enemies, because they are spaced to trick you into touching a tile near a dead end. Stay on course as much as possible.

2. You can cast the white magic of Exit to elude these monsters.

3. You should keep the Gungnir Spear and all other such powerful weapons for later use (explained below in next section). Try to find the Ninja Stars, which can do 4500 damage!

Sylphian Call (Take HP's from One Enemy, All Ally)

To do this, you must have first defeated the Giant of Bab-Il. Once Yang has given you his message, he is well again, but you will not see him. Once you get to the moon, simply return to earth, enter the Sylphian cave, and talk to the Sylph closest to the door of the Sylph's house. She will teach you the Calling of Sylph! Note: The amount of HP taken will be spread evenly to all members of your party. It's sort of like Asura, but it hurts your enemies as well!
