Samurai Goroh / FFV Walkthru Plan

Scrolls are cheaper, but remember your Magic Power affects their power. so Rods might be better for the job (only Ninjas can THROW scrolls; "anyone" can break). the infinite item glitch will make money problems less and less severe, so cost won't greatly affect this decision (at least after Karnak).

• Time: In-game time obtained before fighting the boss. (For that I use a memory address)
• Jobs: Jobs used against the boss.
• Levels: The current party levels.
• Strat: Strategy used againt the boss.
• BAW: Stands for Boss Attack Wanted. It's the desired attack you want the boss to make each turn...
• Commands: The total number of turns tooked to finish the battle.
• ABP: How much ABP you get after the battle.

• Time: 0 hrs, 15 min, 23 secs, 35 Frames
• Jobs: N/A
• Levels: 2/1/1/3
• Strat: Attack ASAP with no mercy
• BAW: Fight, Fight
• Commands: 9
• ABP: N/A

Change Jobs to Blue/Blue/Thief/Blue, that is for Butz/Lenna/Galuf/Faris, always in that order. (Maybe you can try setting someone as Black Mage, so you don't change much jobs on the next boss fight…)

Head back to Tule. Buy Bolt Magic, *Ice Magic, and then head to Zokk's house to get the Key. The *Ice magic is for the Tatu's before Northern Mountain (to level up)

Note: You'll get healed when you visit Zokk, so try be black mages so their little MP gets refilled…

SOMETIME while around Tule, fight Goblin + Bee x2 to gain Goblin Punch and the experience needed to get 2/2/2/3. If you fight Goblins x3, you'll be short in exp to level up :(. In the run I tried to trigger the battle before entering Tule, using the Forest tip ;)

• Alternative: You can fight a White Snake + Black Goblin on Wind Shrine for the exp. & learn Goblin Punch from the beginers room. Plus you can get some items there...

Head for Canal prepare for Karlabos (Remember to be on the back row from now on)

• Time: 0 hrs, 25 min, 29 secs, 15 frames
• Jobs: Black/Black/Thief/Black
• Levels: 2/2/2/3
• Strat: Black magic Bolt
• BAW: Fight, Fight/Tailscrew
• Commands: 8
• ABP: 5

Note: You'll leave Galuf as thief in order to be fast enought to control the boss attacks,

In the Graveyard of Ships, change jobs to Blue/Blue/Blue/Thief. Grab the box that has 990 GP. You'll use the money to buy an extra rod earlier (for the M-i-a-B at Karnak Castle).

• Time: 0 hrs, 32 min, 2 secs, 32 frames
• Jobs: Blue/Blue/Blue/Thief
• Levels: 2/2/2/3
• Strat: Goblin Punch
• BAW: Mute, Cure/Scan
• Commands: 7
• ABP: 5

Note: Remember to equip your blue mages with swords and daggers so their attacks are potent, meaning that Faris should be unarmed.

Head to Kerwin, obtain Ice Rod; head to North Mountain. Before entering the mountain, fight a formation of Tatu x2 to level up (beat it with Ice magic), you should do if before entering Kerwin if possible.

• Time: 0 hrs, 35 min, 26 secs, 34 frames
• Jobs: Black/Black/Blue/Thief
• Levels: 3/3/3/4
• Strat: Break the Ice Rod
• BAW: Whatever that doesn't kill you (even if your HP is replenished)
• Commands: 2
• ABP: 6

Note: You don't get healed from poison when you cross the flowers before fighting Magissa.

- Head to Worus Castle - Basement for 2000 GP & the Elf's Cloak, then see the King (don't think its optional).

Note: Try at all cost to leave the castle with everyone alive, those stupid Garkisgameras can kill you. Check how to manipulate luck at the end of the page...

In Worus Tower, Steal a Mithril Sword (or more) from Ice Soldiers, then equip them to a Blue Mage for improving damage ^.^ . You can also steal Mithril knives from Wyverns, though they are weaker than the swords BUT still better than your current weapons (& Blue Mage can equip them to)… Try to encounter the battles naturally... It's not a must, so if you can handle Galura without them (and be faster), do it…

• Time: 0 hrs, 39 min, 40 secs, 31 frames
• Jobs: Blue/Blue/Blue/Bare
• Levels: 3/3/3/4
• Strat: Use Gobling Punch with the Mages, and paralize Galura with Faris using the whip
• BAW: Fight w/o countering
• Commands: 7
• ABP: 5

(I had to skip 2 commands in order to paralize Galura & not getting countered)

Change back Faris from Bare to Thief; use the Meteorite to head to Karnak Town.

In Karnak, head to weapon shop, buy an Ice Rod and get arrested; come back and buy another Ice Rod & 4 Thunder Rods. Then, head outside to the Fire Ship. I sold the whip, but maybe you could still use it to paralize other enemies…

Note: I grabbed the Thief Ring, it took around 31 secs, but it increases the speed & defense (not to mention also the Steal rate)… Also grabbed the Fenix Down & Elixir, which could be skipped with better luck manipulation, I guess…

• Time: 0 hrs, 49 min, 35 secs, 46 frames
• Jobs: Blue/Blue/Blue/Thief
• Levels: 3/3/3/4
• Strat: Break the 2 rods (beware of the hand transform, avoid it at all cost)
• BAW: Fight, <Fire>
• Commands: 3
• ABP: 6

Back in the castle, heal using the Pot, and get out immediately. Just Grab 2 out of 3 chest that contains 2000 GP each before you get out.

Get the Ribbon from a M-i-a-B figth. It will level you up, and you'll most likely equip it when you don't use jobs…

Note: You might rather leave someone that died that way, so it doesn't takes Exp. from the next boss battle. Besides, you can use the pot at the Ancient Library instead.

(Transform of Sergeant) with Wild Nack x3

• Time: 0 hrs, 53 min, 46 secs, 52 frames
• Jobs: Blue/Blue/Blue/Thief
• Levels: 5/4/4/5
• Strat: Break a Thunder rod, and wait until he transforms, learn Death Claw before breaking another Thunder rod.
• BAW: DeathClaw
• Commands: 7
• ABP: 3

New jobs (now you can use the infinite item trick for lots of Rods, but wait until you have the Black Chocobo)

Don't revive him, just head to Ancients Library, and use the pot instead.

Buy 2 more Ice rods & Mithril Shields for everyone (You'll have to sell some unnecesary items, just don't sell all the weapons that a Ninja can equip…). The shields are for evasion purposes…

Note: I was at Lv 5 with everyone, so I had to fight x5 Wild Nacks, breaking a rod & killing 1 party member, so everyone but 1 player gets to level 6. (I chose the one that just learned Death Claw, Butz in my case)

^ You'll lv up with the M-i-a-B instead, and Butz has to die to learn later Lv5 Doom

• Time: 0 hrs, 56 min, 32 secs, 14 frames
• Jobs: Blue/Blue/Blue/Thief
• Levels: 5/6/6/6
• Strat: Break 2 Ice rods
• BAW: Flame
• Commands: 3
• ABP: 5

Grab the Fenix Down from the chest to revive the person when you learned the blue spell. With better mainulation you should avoid further deaths (Besides Lv5 Doom) & wait to buy them on Lyx...

Learn Level 5 Death from predetermined battle with a book (Page 32/Page 64; 64 teaches Level 5 Death), use Death Claw to weaken the enemies. Just be sure that such battle will trigger those monsters. If not, you can either run and fight again (you'll have to enter & leave the next screen IIRC) or fight some random fights after or before…

• Time: 0 hrs, 58 min, 17 secs, 50 frames
• Jobs: Blue/Blue/Blue/Thief
• Levels: 5/6/6/7
• Strat: Death Claw, then hit
• BAW: None
• Commands: 3
• ABP: 7

This will be the only boss that you can get a pre-entive attack. Trigger it & you'll avoid his attack.

Heal again using the the pot, return to Karnak & get the ship, then sail to Crescent Isle & you'll lose the boat.

Learn Dark Shock from Black Flames outside of Crescent Island, then head to the forest for new jobs and Black Chocobo. Use a rod to kill them at the same time…

Reminder: Reminder to check if heading a little above from Crescent Island to encounter Black Flame x5, learning Dark Shock & leveling up, then stealing Ethers from Prototype is faster than the current strat. (Besides you could buy now some running shoes…)

Note: If you can Learn Dark Shock & get 99 Silver Bows on the same battle, you'll shave some time. You'll have to equip Learning ability, which you should learn by now…

Better yet, you can steal Silver Bows from Crescent, which sells for the same price as Ethers, though you'll only get 99 instead of 255. And if you manage to make them drop the Doom Axe, it can substitute a Death Potion. It will be barely enough, so you won't be able to buy Running Shoes…

Head to Lix (Butz home town) to buy:

• 11 Ethers
• 11 Antidotes
• 11 Maiden Kiss
• 3 Water Scrolls (for the Sand Worm)
• 16 Lightning Scrolls (3 per each Rocket Launchers/Flame Guns fight, 3 for the Puroboros & 1 for the Hiryuu Plant)
• 4 Green Berets (Increases Speed +1)
• 4 Stealth Clothes (Increases Speed +1)

To bad you can't buy Fenix Downs nor Elixirs here, that would be great :(

Head to Karnak for lots of Rods & Fenix Downs

• 19 Thunder Rods (1 for Bomb x4, 1 for Clay Claw, 9 for Sol Cannon + Launchers, 6 for Archeoavis, 1 for the Lil Charriots & 1 for replacement)
• 2 Fire Rods (Again, for Archeoavis)
• 31 Fenix Downs (For Mixing & reviving purposes)

Note: The items rounded to (10n + 1) are bought faster than the exact (since you'll press Up instead of Right…), though you would end up with to much items in the inventory in my opinion...

Now head back to the Ancient Library, change jobs to Ninja/Ninja/Ninja/Thief. Don't heal, the Sand Worm will use Demi A LOT, it won't kill you but will reduce your HP anyway, well actually the holes are the ones that use Demi… Now go to the Desert.

• Time: 1 hrs, 10 min, 3 secs, 38 frames
• Jobs: Thief/Ninja/Ninja/Ninja
• Levels: 7/8/8/8
• Strat: Use 3 Water Scrolls (Note: You don't need to select the Sand Worm ;) )
• BAW: None, although the holes will counter with Demi each time...
• Commands: 4
• ABP: 5

CATCH 3 Sand Bears now for Gilgamesh-2 (Use Death Claw to weaken them). To make someone wait to catch later a Jail Bear. Lenna in my case. You can come back later if you have trouble getting the 3rd Sand Bear to appear…

Change jobs to Blue/Blue/Blue/Thief after that. Equip some Thunder Rods beforehand for the next boss battle IF it is faster than equipping them at the fight.

Note: If you can get a Bomb x4 fight, do it now.

Go through the Ruined City and machine beneath.

• Time: 1 hrs, 17 min, 20 secs, 50 frames
• Jobs: Blue/Thief/Blue/Bard
• Levels: 8/9/9/9
• Strat: Break 1 Thunder Rod
• BAW: Tailscrew
• Commands: 4

Return to the Ruined city, then go back & talk to Cid. Now head to TYCOON meteor & fight Adamantium.

• Jobs: Blue/Thief/Blue/Bard
• Levels: 8/9/9/9
• Strat: Lv 5 Doom
• BAW: Fight x2
• Commands: 3
• ABP: 5

Go back to Crescent Isle, then to the Lonka Ruins.

For the Rocket Launchers/Flame Guns, use 3 Thunder Scrolls per battle. Jobs should be Ninja/Ninja/Ninja/Bard. Remember to learn Missile from the Rocket Launchers (Equip Learning Ability)

• Time: 1 hrs, 23 min, 52 secs, 36 frames
• Jobs: Blue/Blue/Blue/Blue
• Levels: 8/9/9/9
• Strat: Just break lots of Thunder rods
• BAW: None

• Jobs: Blue/Blue/Blue/Blue
• Levels: 8/9/9/9
• Strat: Break Rods (various flavors, depending on how he feels) + Lv 5 Death
• BAW:
• Commands: 9
• ABP: 10

Note: You should want to skip the last Rod in order to be able to attack ASAP in the next round, because the 2nd form of Archeoavis might hit you with Gale Cut before you can connect the Lv 5 Doom.

Reminder: Reminder to check if using Deathclaw + hit is faster than breaking 2 rods, when possible…

You'll get more jobs, Galuf's leaves, bleh. Return to Tycoon Meteor, then to Worus Meteor & you'll fight Puroboros.

Note: If you need more sand bears, head to the desert and pick them up (you'll need 3 total, and remember to take Galuf into account). Also fight a few times to level up a bit. (I used 2 thunder rods & fought those bomb-like enemies). If you're lucky, you might encounter Bomb x4 & only need to fight once ;)

• Time: 1 hrs, 38 min, 39 secs, 50 frames
• Jobs: Chemist/Chemist/Samurai
• Levels: 8/9/9
• Strat: Use the scrolls & learn Exploder
• BAW:
• Commands: 3
• ABP: 5

NOTE: You'll may want to change the Battle Speed, to speed up their Explode attack…

Kill them all but one, who will then use Exploder (so you'll learn it). Heal the enemy with a Hipotion if necessary. Go to the next Meteor.

• Jobs: Dragon/Samurai/Samurai
• Levels: 8/9/9
• Strat: Jump + GP Toss x2
• BAW:
• Commands: 3
• ABP: 5

NOTE: Butz must be on the air before the 2nd GP Toss connects. (The lowest level you can have is 9 in order to kill Titan in 2 hits, maybe you could be able to finish it with 1 player at 9 & the other at 8, would need to test it, though calculations says that I'll deal 1200+1350 > 2500 :D …)

Go to next Meteor, use tent to heal everyone. (Maybe just Fenix Downs will do…)

• Time: 1 hrs, 36 min, 29 secs, 21 frames

• Levels: 8/9/9
• Strat: Death Claw + hit
• BAW:
• Commands: 3
• ABP: 6

Note: You can steal a Dragon Fang from Chim. Brain, for mixing purposes. If you mix a Dragon Power & use it on yourself, it will increase the chances of connecting some magic like DarkShock, so it may worth after all…

You'll be ready to leave this world, but remember to bring lots of Fenix Downs, Potions, Ethers & Tents because you'll need them. (You should had done it before, it's just a reminder :P)

The time before leading to the 2nd world was 1 hr, 59 min. Yay sub 1 hr 40 min ^.^

• Time: 1 hrs, 40 min, 53 secs, 58 frames
• Jobs: Trainer
• Levels: 8
• Strat: Use Death Claw + hit, or kill yourself (you can use explode for that)
• BAW:

Capture a jail bear before leaving ex-death's castle for Lenna (or whoever missed it)

On the bridge, the battles CAN be avoided (aside from the first withLil Chariots, break a lightning rod on that battle). ASCII map here

• Time: 1 hrs, 45 min, 7 secs, 27 frames

• Levels: 9/9/9/9

• BAW:

• ABP: 0

Note: The Jail Bear is weaker than the Sand bear & when you deal more than 4000, he'll get hyper.

Reminder: Reminder to check if you can switch some Bears per Rods, though I doubt it would be faster…

On village of Rugor, buy new shields if you want to (remember to sell the Dark Matter) then proceed. You can buy Holy Water here (for mixing purposes). The Holy Water is for the Samson Power…

• Time: 1 hrs, 49 min, 0 secs, 30 frames
• Jobs: Chemist/Chemist/Thief/Bard
• Levels: 9/9/9/9
• Strat: Use a Fenix Down on him :P
• BAW:
• Commands: 1
• ABP: 9

Note: Here I learned conceal for Faris, just in time :D (You'll want to keep her as a Thief for more boss battles…)

When back at Val Castle, the basement has statues which die instantly against Level 5 Death; they yield either 4 or 8 ABP depending on how many you face. Refill magic with Ethers you'd saved previously.

Mix takes 45 ABP total (is for several boss battles along the way, including ExDeath)

Note: Change jobs to Chemist/Chemist/Chemist/Blue, and make sure you'll leave them near lerning Mix ability (12 or less ABP)

Remember to grab the spell EXIT inside a treasure chest, because you'll use it a couple of times…

• Time: 1 hrs, 58 min, 40 secs, 24 frames
• Jobs: Chemist/Chemist/Blue/Thief
• Levels: 9/10/10/10
• Strat: Death Claw + hit
• BAW:
• Commands: 5
• ABP: 2

In village of Kelb, you can still buy the Gold Shields if you want and weapons for Ninjas, if you had sold them all. (You'll need at least 1 for the Steal Glitch). Remember to get rid of the Dark Matter you won with the Sol Cannon, this is your last chance (otherwise, you'll need to use it via Mix, but it has to be on a different battle than when you perform the Steal Glitch). If you're in the shopping, then you can buy some armors to increase speed a bit, like the Stealth armor & GrnBeret helmet… (I did that before, in another town, I think it was Linx)

Note: You should better re-stock some Fenix Downs if you are short & buy Holy waters & other items for mixing purposes, as you might be able to skip going to Mirage Town on the 3rd world…

In Dragon Valley, run into a battle with ZombieDragon and infinite item 99 Dark Matters

• Time: 2 hrs, 5 min, 3 secs, 15 frames
• Jobs: Chemist/Chemist/Ninja/Blue

• BAW:
• Commands: 3
• ABP: 10

Note: You'll have someone with Blue ability equipped for the Death Claw. If you're fast, then there won't be any Hiryuuka, otherwise you'll need to use a multi-target hit like breaking rods or using scrolls…

Use the EXIT spell & head back to the castle (cure Dragon). Then visit Gil's cave & then to Zeza's Fleet.

Note: Since I already had Blue & Mix with Lenna & Galuf, I made them Bare from now on.

Note: Butz learned Blue in my file, so I changed him to Bare with Blue + Mix abilities from now on.

Head to Gil's, then to Mua and buy the spells Break & Old (Black/Time respectively). Break is for Twin Tania & Old for Halicarnas.

In Mua forest, grab Aegis Shield.

Ex-Death's Castle next, at some point run into a Magic Dragon and Learn Level 2 Old. And remember to use a Elementalist to cross the lava harmless. Grab the Ice Shield. Remember to use the shorcuts (which are shown here…) , ,

Note: Dunno if just crossing the lava without changing to Elementalist is slower, but it seemed to me like it where… Needs to be checked…
The Ice shield doesn't comes to use as I though (and you'll encounter more enemies in that area…)

DON'T FIGHT Gilgamesh (meaning don't look in the Chest before ExDeath's floor), too bad :(

Head to Mirage Town with Boco, had to the "weak" magic shop and buy FLOAT. You can also grab the Thief knife if you want. Buy some Fenix Downs if you're short AND buy Maiden's Kiss + Revivify if you plan to berserk Exdeath. Now grab the Black Chocobo.

Note: You can also buy some Running Shoes (Hermes Ring I guess), but I didn't :P (I think I should after all, though would only afford 2…) If you stealed the Bows instead of Ethers, you won't have money for even 1 :(

Note 2: With some manipulation, you won't need to buy Float, as Catastroph doesn't always start with Earthquake. (Though you'll need to equip the Aegis Shield IIRC…)

Note: You might want to level up a little via Mix, as if I read correctly the Algorith FAQ, you'll have either 1% or 0% of connecting the Dark Shock on Ex-Death with those levels.

Note: I think my level was to low to make the Dark Shock work :(. You can gain exp. with those Iron Giants, just mix a Doom Potion to take them off ASAP. 2 fights should be enough. (You don't NEED to fight Iron Giants, but they grant lots of exp.)

You've finished the game ^.^ Enjoy the ending

FLEE and SMOKE (thief/ninja respectively) do the job very well when you cant seem to run as fast as you normally can. I still don't know why this happens. FLEE works without any animation, so its suggested to use that (you'll most likely learn it first anyhow).

Undead Rusks in the Graveyard of Ships. It's highly suggested you steal ethers from them several times over to get your gil high up so you don't have to worry later.
Since it's a rare steal, there should be better items to steal… The prototype also has Ether, but as a common steal :D

It decreases the level by around 20 frames, but it stops if your battle gauge stops...

It will round down... Points at Atomos strat ;)

• Goblins in beginning of the game
• Lil Chariots for Big Bridge in World 2
