My first intention was to keep these screenshots for my second and third playthroughs because I wanted to play faster for a perfect game with all achievements and collect all items. Later, I realized I could share this guide with other FFIV players because even myself struggling in finding hidden items and paths throughout the game. With all maps captured in pictures, it helps me walk through the game faster without remembering all the little details. Let's make this short. if you are like me who don't like reading long paragraphs of walkthroughs, you probably find this easy to complete the game. This walkthrough followed Action Walkthrough for DS [gamefaqs.gamespot.com] version with some modifications since Steam version doesn't have Whyt and mini-games. I recommend reading from Action's walkthrough if you want to know all the details of the entire game. If you just want to fnish the game, you can still use this walkthrough by skipping all optional sections. Before we start, here is a a few thing you must do in order to get 100% achievements. You must complete 100% map. I guess it's not hard to do since you can foresee the maps before you even proceed. You must complete the game at least 2 times (at least 1 time in "Hard" mode). You must own at least 1 suit of Onion Equipment and 1 Adamant Armor (See Tail Hunt section). You must unlock all hidden summons (see Hidden Summon section). You must steal Dark Matter from Zeromus in order to fight Proto-Babil. You must defeat Geryon and Proto-Babil. You must complete 100% Bestiary. *** I only covered permanently missable and difficult achievements throughout the game, others can be obtained at late game or whenever you feel like doing them. *If you are here for Stats Maxing guide and calculator, skip to Stats Maxing section. Since you are committing for a perfect game, here are a few suggestions that you should keep in mind: 100% Achievements : You can complete all achievement in the second playthrough. However, it's going to be very hard to defeat Proto-Babil, so it is recommended to max out all stats in the third playthrough before confronting Proto-Babil. Rare item : Do not attempt to farm any rare items before getting Treasure Hunter Augment. Well, for example, if you spend 10 hours hunting Bomb Summon, it's 5 hours with Treasure Hunter. I hope you get it and you don't want to know how frustrated it is to farm those rare items (they are very rare), but you have to do it for achievements. One time entry : There are some areas where you can enter once, so make sure that you kill all types of monsters within the area for Bestiary. Notice : Pay attention to the notes "Unequip", it means that one of the member will leave the party soon. (monster) means that there are monster inside the chests. maxing stats : If you want to max stats for all characters, you should follow this guide how to distribute augments for the final five, but you must give a specific numbers of augments to other characters to get all augments. For example, you must give Fusoya 2 augments to get Phoenix, Omnicast, and Bless from him. New Game+ Carry Over : Onion Equipment, Adamant Armor, Tails, Apple, Soma Drop, augments, map completion, and hidden summons. Apple and Soma Drop : Do not waste your Apple and Soma Drop in the first and second playthroughs as you can only max all your characters' stats in the third playthrough. Play style : how you like to rearrange your party and how you setup for boss fights are completely up to you. There are some bosses you may find them very difficult to defeat so I wrote some notes along the way. Make sure you read them. Seriously do not try to farm gil even with Gil Farmer augment, The Gil Farmer augment is not very useful. Why? The best way to get rich in this game is selling equipment and items. Killing Red Dragon (one of the strongest monster) only drop 2,500 gil. Here are the best ways to become a gillionaire: The fastest way to get rich You can sell Megalixir for 325,000 gil, huh? get rich in a second. You can obtain it when completed Sealed Cave - B5. Armored Fiend or Red Dragon Use Siren to fight Armored Fiend, it can drop Poison Axe (sell for 47,000 gil) and Orgekiller (sell for 12,000 gil). Red Dragon also drops good equipment that can be sold up to 32,000 gil. Normally, you farm Armored Fiend and Red Dragon for Black Tail and Red Tail (see Tail Hunt section). Rainbow Pudding Yes, it's Rainbow Pudding. After farming Pink Tail, you probably own a few of them and you can sell them for 100,000 gil each. Second/Third Playthrough In post game, especially after maxed out your characters, you probably want to max their HP and MP as well. This requires thousands of Siren (3000 gil) and you properly running out of money in a few runs. It becomes much easier in the post game to farm Gil with Gil Farmer augment by defeating Geryon . He started his career as a super-boss and becomes a mini-boss in late game. Geryon drops 99,999 Gil and 149,998 with Gil Farmer . Good news, you can fight him indefinitely by talking to the tombstone on top of Mount Ordeals (see super-bosses section). Below is the list of all augments and descriptions from the game. I added extra info in parentheses since some of them are not very clear: Augment Name Description Tips and tricks here don't affect your overall gameplay and achievements, but it's good to know if you are a diehard fan of FFIV. Golden rule: always use Slow, Haste, Shell, Protect, and Cry whenever you fight bosses. when you purchase items/equipment, you'll get a discount when you buy 4 or more, the discount apply to every 4 items. You can use Left/Right buttons to de/select items by 10 when buying/selling. Bows and whips deal the same damage from both front and back row. that's why you should always put Rosa and Rydia at the back row. Staves and rods can be used as items to cast spells with the cost of 0 MP, sweet, isn't it? For example, when equip with Ice Rod, go to Ability, select any slot, select items, select Ice Rod. When casting magics that cause damage/heals to all targets, its effectiveness is halved. this applies to both White and Black magic. Ninjutsu elemental attacks can pierce through Reflect. Crystal Mail is the only item that prevents Berserk. Break (black magic) is very effective against high HP monsters like Orges and Golems, it instantly KO them with 100% accuracy, so make sure to take advantage of that. It's available when Tellah and Rydia rejoin the party, and Fusoya. You can move items/abilities around by holding X button then drag it to a new location. Boss: Mist Dragon Do not attack it when it's in mist form. Augments: Give Counter to Cecil. Give Item Lore to Polom. Give Auto-Potion to Porom. You will be forced to sell all your tents to Campingway. But it's more profitable to sell in Mysidia. So sell all your tents but keep only one for him. *** ACHIEVEMENT Before you talk to the stone on Mount Ordeals (After defeated Scarmiglione), make sure that Dark Cecil is at least level 25. Boss: Scarmiglione Weakness: Fire and Healing properties (Cure/Cura/Potion/Hi-Potion etc.) Backtrack to pick up Curse augment after becoming Paladin. Augment: Give Curse to Polom. Boss: Baigan Boss: Cagnazzo Use lightning-based magic/items when there is water surrounding him, Tsunami is scary and you don't want to restart the game. These are the lightning based that can stop his surrounding water: Thunder/Thundera/Thunder Rod (as an item)/Zeus's Wrath/Heavenly Wrath. Augments: Give one Twincast to Cecil. Give another Twincast to Tellah. If you are a very very lucky person, you may get Rainbow Pudding along the way. Give it to Puddingway if you have it, otherwise, wait until you get Treasure Hunter augment. Boss: Dark Elf You cannot defeat him in the first fight, so don't bother healing your party. After Edward playing a song through a phone (Whisperweed) he gave to Cecil, you can now defeat him. First use Silence and then auto attac
