Dont make "Kuruu Dasuto" alone. If you do, he'll cast "Flash" (Another AoMahou
you can learn) and you have to use "Megusuri" to heal blindness.

Once you entered the dungeon, go into the first door you see to get Elixer, next go to the
left staircase to get "Mithril no Kote", then go down the stairs to get another Elixer, and
finally go into the door on top. Once you get on the elevator, press the switch on left to
activate it. Follow the route (it's straight route w/o forks)until you see four openings on
bottom. Take the rightmost opening on bottom to get "Green Beret". One you got the
"Green Beret" follow the route and youÕll end up in the same four choices room. Next,
take second opening from right (on bottom) to get the "Thief Glove". Take the same route
as you did before to return to the same place. Finally, take the third opening from right
to proceed further into the dungeon. Once you fall down, take the left door and take
another left door to get to the saving point. After the save point, you'll see some puzzle.
Solution to this puzzle (Skip this section if you'd like to try yourself)

Once you are next to the first switch you can click, click it.
Get off from that platform and click the switch on the furthest to the left.
Run across the room and click both switches.
Walk down and click the upper switch while you are standing on right of it.
Click the last switch to get "Elixer" in the treasure box.

Black Mage that can cast "-ra" class magics (i.e. Bulizara, Faira, Sandara).

Leave the crystal room from the hole.

You have 10 minutes to leave this castle, or you'll be well done. After the save point,
run up the staircase. Get two treasure boxes you see on the way. After obtaining two
treasure box, go up the upper right staircase. Remember to run from all enemies
(use Tonzura). Once you went up the staircase, get two treasure boxes located on
right and left of the room. Once you got those two, go through the central door.
After you went through the door, just run around to get into the door on lower screen.
No treasures on this floor. Zip through the next floor too, since there is no treasure
on this floor as well. Once you got to the carpeted room, go through the upper right
staircase.

Run to the lower exit (ignore the treasure box for now). Run south along
the castle wall and get Main Gauche. Return to the room where you left the treasure
box and get them all. Once you got all of the treasures on this floor, run UP the
staircase on upper right corner.

Run left across the exterior of the castle, then do down the staircase. Once you got down, go down to the lower exit of the room (again, ignore the treasure boxes for now). Run down the castle wall to get "Elf no Manto".

staircase and you should end up in the carpeted room again. Go DOWN (There's nothing
interesting behind central door.) and get two treasure boxes on right and left. Exit from
lower door. You should have about three to four minutes of spare time if you efficiently
run away from enemies. When you try to escape from the castle, boss will show up.

The point of this battle is when Gilgamesh power ups. (He'll use "shell" and "protesu")
So, just attack with "mahouken-sairesu" from the start so that he cannot cast those
magics on power up.

4. Town of Rugoru

Buy magics (important) and equipment. When you sleep at the inn, event occurs.
Go to pub to meet with Galuf during that event.

5. Concealed castle of Koozer

When you walk south from Rugoru, you'll see this castle. The enemies in this
castle is pretty strong, so be careful not to fight them (run, if you can). You can see
(but not take) 12 legendary weapons here.

Note: 12 Legendary Weapons of Koozer
Clockwise from top:

Excalibur
Assasin Dagger
Sasuke no Katana (Sasuke's Katana)
Holy Lance
Rune Ax
Masamune
Yoichi no Yumi (Bow & Arrow of Yoichi)
Fire Byuuto
Kenja no Tsue (Wise One's Cane)
Wizard Rod
Apollon no Harp (Apollon's Harp)
Daichi no Bell (Bell of the earth)

6. Mouguli's forest -> Underground river

Treasures: Fenix Down, 4400 giru

When you arrive at Mouguli's forest, talk to him/her and follow him/her down
to the underground river. At the end of the river, you'll fight Tirasaurs. After
the battle, Mouguli will show you the way to Mouguli's town. Pay close attention
to where he goes.

Boss of underground river: Tirasaurs. Lv. 29, HP 5000, weakness: Fire, Kearu

Normal way to beat this boss:

Since he is an undead, you can use "Faira" (Fire 2), "Kearura" (Cure 2), Ifrit, "Katon no Jutsu"
(Fire Scroll), etc. to attack him. If you get hit by "bone", make sure to heal him/her before
"zombie breath" comes.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
To say the truth, Tirasaurs is especially weak against "gravite". So put everyone with "Jikuu"
ability and cast multiple "gravite". When the damage becomes 2 digits, just attack once,
and he's gone.

7. Mouguli's town... kupo!

When you cross the Grociana desert and enter the forest, you'll arrive at Mouguli town.
Make sure not to step into the desert, for SandCrawler will attack you. (SandCrawler
has HP 5000 and you cannot run away) Put on the Mouguli doll to get the "Elf no Manto"
(Elf's cloak) here.

8. Bal Castle (Party's Level: 23)

After the auto-event, Hiryuu (Flying dragon) will fall. In order to save Hiryuu, you now
must goto "Hiryuu no tani" (Valley of Flying Dragons) to get "Hiryuu sou" (Flying Dragon's
Weed). You can get free "Great Sword" in the moat of this castle. Walk counter-clockwise
and search the dead end. Also, if you use the staircase on back of weapon shop, you can get
"Tenshi no Hakui" (White Robe of Angels) and by standing at the counter between weapon
shop and armor shop (there is hidden switch) weapon shop master will give to "Ramia no
Tategoto" (Ramia's Harp: Confuses enemy).

Note: At the basement of Bal Castle, enemy called "Sekizou" will appear.
"Sekizou" can be killed with "Lv. 5 Death" or "Kin no Hari" (Golden Needle: Destones
the target), and it gives 4 ABP (Ability points) when it comes in pair (with 1014 giru)
or 8 ABP when it comes in set of 4 (with 2028 giru). If you think you need some more
abilities, this is good place to gather some ABPs.

9. Town of Quelb

Enter the big house at center of the town. Kelgar will open the door on north side of the
town. Also, learn "Requiem" from dancing werewolves on upper-right corner of the
town. Lastly, if you have time, try to "Toraeru" (Capture: Majuutsukai (Beast Master)'s
ability)) "Korunago" (Looks like orange toad) and give it to the man in the well.
He'll trade your "Korunago" for "Korunago no Tsubo" (Pot of Korunago: See below
for details) You can get 24 free potions (8 potions for 3 times) by sitting at the chair
in the inn.

Note: What the heck is "Korunago no Tsubo"??
"Korunago no Tsubo" is special item that's very useful if you have Majuutsukai (Beast
Master) in your party. Normally, you have to decrease the enemy's HP to 1/8 in order
to "capture" it, but with this Pot, you can capture by decreasing the enemy's HP to 1/2.
If you have difficulty capturing Korunago at first place (it's smart enough to run),
try using "stop".)

10. Valley of the Flying Dragons

Treasures: 5000 giru, Cottage, Bone Mail, 7000 giru, Kazekiri no Yaiba (Tempest),
Hyupuno Crown, Fenix Down

At the top of this valley, you'll fight "Hiryuusou". But make sure to get "Bone Mail"
(a.k.a. Undead Armor) on your way. (Check the bones that's lying on the ground)

Hints for the Valley of the Flying Dragons

If you can't go further, try searching the hole in the ground!
Occasinary, you'll meet "Golem" requesting help from your party. If you kill two
monsters without harming Golem, you'll obtain Shoukanjuu (Summoned Beasts) Golem.
Like Ramuh, you have to use it as an item to add Golem to the Shoukan list.
Many of the monsters in this valley are undeads. Try using "requiem" you got
at Quelb! (You have to have "Utau" ability or be in Gin'yuushijin (bard))

Boss of the Valley of the Flying Dragons: Hiryuu sou. Lv. 29, HP 12000

Normal way to beat this boss:

When you kill all of those flowers beside Hiryuusou, they'll revive with 5 flowers.
Heal the effect of "kafun" (pollen) with "Esna".

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

If you use the "Golem" you got at this valley, "kafun" (pollen) will not harm your party.
"Gravite" works pretty well against Hiryuusou. Reduce the HP of Hiryuusou to 3 digits
and use "Zeninage" (coin toss: ability of Samurai) command to finish them off.

11. Bal Castle Once Again

If you give Hiryuusou to Hiryuu, Hiryuu will revive and you'll be able to control him.
Head north from Bal Castle (NE from Quelb) to get to the outer world. Next destination
is Ghido's Dwelling, which is located northeast from Bal.

12. Ghido's Dwelling

When you enter the entrance of this cave, the whole island will start to sink. Head west
after escaping from the sinking island.

13. Surgate Castle

Gather the information about Zeza (You'll learn that Zeza went to east of Exdeath castle
with his fleet). At king's bedroom, get "Subayasa no Uta" (Song of Speed). Also at the
Library of this castle, put back the scattered books to appropriate place to open the
secret door. The scattered books are (from left to right) "Kindan no Sho" (Forbidden Book),
"Mamono Daijiten" (Dictionary of the Monsters), and "Ronka no Himitsu" (Secret of
Lonka). See below for details on where to put back the books. You'll get "Leviteto"
as a reward.

Hint: Placing the booksThanks to Nora [NEStevens@aol.com]
for confirmation of the bookshelf arrangement.

--1-- --2-- --3--
--4-- --5-- --6-- --7--
--8-- --9-- -10-- -11--

Put:

"Kindan no Sho" (Left most book) into bookshelf #2.
"Mamono Daijiten" (Middle book) into bookshelf #7.
"Ronka no Himitsu" (Right most book) into bookshelf #9.

14. Zeza's Fleet

Land your Hiryuu on the biggest ship in Zeza's fleet located east of Exdeath Castle. Meet
Zeza, and goto bed. While in sleep, monsters attack the fleet. You can ignore the wandering
enemies if you want. Head to the bottom to fight the boss.

Boss on Zeza's Fleet: Gilgamesh & Enkidou

Gilgamesh: Lv. ??, HP ??
Enkidou: Lv. 29, HP 4000

Normal way to beat these bosses:

"Gravite" works against Enkidou. Use magic or physical attacks against Gilgamesh.

Quick and dirty way to beat these bosses:

"Confuyu" works against Enkidou. Once you get Enkidou on your side, concentrate
your attacks on Gilgamesh. Also make sure to steal "Genji no Kote" (Genji Gauntlet).
There is only one set of Genji equipment.

15. Barrier Tower (Party's Level: 26)

Treasures: 9000 giru, Blood Sword, 18000 giru, Kin no Kamikazari (Golden Hairpin)
You start from the basement and head to the top of the tower. At the top of the tower, you'll
fight "Atomos".

Boss of Barrier Tower: Atomos. Lv. 41, HP 19997

Normal way to beat this boss:

If you revive the character which was hit with "Comet", Atomos will use the "Comet" once
again. Before the character is sucked into the "waam hole", do critical attacks of Samurais
and Monks.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

"Slow" works against Atomos. There is no easy way around this boss. You may want to
use "Zeninage" here if you have alot of giru to spare. Otherwise, do critical attacks of Samurais
and Monks.

16. Ghido's Dwelling

After you obtained the submarine, go to the sunken island of Ghido's dwelling. At the very bottom of the cave, you'll meet Ghido the wise one. He'll give you "Chourou no Eda" (Stem of the Elderly Tree) and advise you to goto Great Forest of Muah.

17. Obtaining Katoblepas

When you open the map undersea, you'll see a white dot on north-western part of the world map.
Goto that place and go through the cave. When you exit the cave, wander around until you
encounter Katoblepas. Beat him to get Katoblepas.

Katoblepas: Lv. 38, HP 5000

When you attack, he'll use "Akuma no Hitomi" (Devil's eye) to stone one character. Make
one "Odoriko" (Dancer) and equip him/her with Ribbon to guard against "Akuma no Hitomi".
Use the Dancer to destone the characters and attack, attack, attack!

18. Town of Muah (Party's Level: 27)

You can enter this town if you carefully observe the overworld map and underwater map.
(Concentrate your search on western part of the map) Once you found your way,
go to the town first and buy the necessities. You can get "Main Gauche" from the thing on
left of the Pub building. You cannot go through the locked door at this time.

19. The Great Forest of Muah

Treasures: 2000 giru, Etel (Ether), 4500 giru, Fenix Down, 9900 giru, Elixer, Cottage,
Kyojin no Kusuri (Medicine of Giants), Aegis no Tate (Aegis Shield), Morning Star,
Flame Tongue, Susu (Ash), Flame Shield (If you took Aegis Shield, this treasure box
is empty).

Use the "Chourou no Eda" (Stem of the Elderly Tree) to enter the forest. When you come to
the middle of the forest, Exdeath will light the fire on forest. Don't panic. You have plenty of
time to search around for treasure boxes. After you have collected the treasures, enter Mouguli's
hole.

20. The remains of Elderly Tree (Party's Level: 30)

If you use "Chourou no Eda" in front of the Elderly Tree, the passage will open. Inside, you'll
fight "Fuuin wo Mamoru Mono" (Guardian of the Seal). After the battle, Galuf dies, and
Kururu will join your party.

Boss of Elderly Tree: Fuuin wo Mamoru Mono

Each piece is Lv. 77, HP 7777, and has individual attribute of Fire, Ice, Wind, and Earth.

Normal way to beat this boss:

"Gravite" works fairly well. When they began to use magics, use "shell" to reduce the damage.
Just mix the attacks with healing.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Cast "Leviteto" to everyone. Then use "Titan" with all four members of your party. (Ignore the
Earth segment for now) After other three dies, use "Graviga". Earth segment is near death by
now....

21. Cave of Gilgame (not Gilgamesh)

This place is optional and you may skip if you aren't in need of quick cash. Behind the doors,
you can get 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280, 2560, 5120, 10240, 20480, and 40960
giru, but you'll encounter the mighty Gilgame with high rate. Gilgame has HP of 32768
(same as Exdeath you'll meet later) and his weakness is "ice". So use "Mahouken Bulizaga"
to beat him. Golem's guard will be nullified in 2 rounds or so.

Dirty way to beat Gilgame.... but it's not quick.

Equip everyone with Gin'yuushijin's (Bard's) "Kakureru" (Hide) ability. When you enter
the battle, let everyone hide until Gilgame does "Kame no Koura" (Turtle Shell) twice.
After he has done the "Kame no Koura" attack, surprisingly, Gilgame's attack won't hit your party.
I'm sure you know what to do NOW. ; ) [Yes, come out and attack!!]

22. The Climax!?: Exdeath Castle (Party's Level: 31)

Treasures: Daia no Tate (Diamond Shield), Etel (Ether) x 2, Ice Shield, Elixer x 2,
Hayate no Yumiya (Gale Bow & Arrows), Ice Bland, Kotetsu, 9900 giru, Twin Lancer,
8000 giru, Partisan, Fuuma Shuriken

Are you ready to beat up the Exdeath? Do you think you have good job-ability combination?
If not, you should go back to basement of Bal Castle and gather some ABP (Ability point) there.
If you are ready, go up from the unlocked front door. At the third floor, head back a little to break the illusion of Exdeath. After revealing the true shape of Exdeath castle, proceed. Get Karbunkle at 10th floor, fight Gilgamesh at 12th floor, and finally, you'll fight Exdeath at 13th floor. I recommend having "Otoshiana Kaihi" (Avoid Snares : Fuusuishi (Elemental User) Lv. 2),
and "Damage Yuka" (Damage Floors : Fuusuishi (Elemental User) Lv.3) abilities to help your
way. (You can have Fuusuishi (Elemental User) + Dash in your party)

Bosses on parade in Exdeath Castle

Boss #1: Karbunkle. Lv. 44, HP 15000.

Normal way to beat this boss:

Karbunkle is always in "reflec" status, so just cast "reflec" to your party and reflect the magics to
Karbunkle. You can steal "Reflect Ring" from him.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Make four Shoukanshi (Summoner) and cast Katoblepas. The success rate is rather low, but
you can kill him in one shot.

Boss #2: Gilgamesh. Lv. ??, HP ???

Since his attacks are pretty weak, I'll skip the "quick and dirty" section. Just attack normally
and heal with "Kearuga" (Cure 3) and "Esna".

Boss #3: Exdeath. Lv. 66, HP 32768, Weakness: Holy Powers

Normal way to beat this boss:

Guard your party with "shell", "leviteto", and "Golem". Then attack Exdeath, but make sure
that you can cast "Raise" at any given time during battle.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Cast "Golem" and "Karbunkle". Equip everyone with "AoMahou" ability and heal with
"White Wind". For attacking Exdeath, "Midareuchi" (Archer Lv. 5) and "Tameru" (Monk
Lv. 2) works pretty well.

After the battle with Exdeath, World One and World Two merges together....

FF5 Walkthrough Part Three
Final Fantasy V
Walkthrough of World Three
Written by Tatsushi Nakao

Party's Level indicate levels which you should go there in
order to finish that place without difficulty.

1. Tycoon Castle, Death Valley, and West Valley (Party's Level: 31)

After the dance party in Tycoon, leave the Tycoon castle and head to the
Pirate's Hideout. Boko will once again join your party. Ride the chocobo
north from Tycoon castle and you fight Antolion at the West Valley.
Faris joins here.

2. Ghido's Dwelling, and Ancient Library

Exdeath returns here. After Exdeath leaves, head to the Ancient Library.
When you arrive at the Ancient Library, make sure to get the "Maryoku no
Uta" (Song of Magics) at top of the Library. Then get the "Fuuin no Sho"
(Concealed Book). Once you got the book, head to the Pyramid.

3. Pyramid (Party's Level: 32)

Treasures: Noroi no Yubiwa (Cursed Ring), Ice Shield, Flame Shield,
Dark Matter x 7, Shiro no Robe (White Robe), Kuro no Robe (Black Robe),
Elixer x 4, Ibara no Kanmuri (Thornlet), Kuro Shouzoku (Ninja Gear),
Crystal Mail, 9000 giru, 8000 giru, Daichi no Hammer (Hammer of Earth),
10000 giru, Cottage, Ribbon, Mamori no Yubiwa (Protection Ring),
Kin no Kamikazari (Golden Hairpin), 12000 giru

On the fourth floor, you'll encounter many "Machine Head"s. Since you
can not run away from them, you have to defeat it everytime you encounter
one. Stats for "Machine Head" is: Lv. 37, HP 7210, weakness: Water
and Thunder. Use "Mahouken-sandaga" to kill them.
At the top of the Pyramid you'll find the first "Sekiban" (Stone Tablet).
Also, Bahamut shows up and he flies to the North Mountian.

4. Elderly Tree
On the way back from Pyramid (at the Elderly Tree) to the Library, you'll
meet with Exdeath. Exdeath sucks Ancient Library into "mu" (Nothingness)
and Meryujiinu appears. After the fight with Meryujiinu, Lenna joins your
party.

Boss of the Elderly Tree: Meryujiinu. Lv 29-33, HP 20000
Note: Meryujiinu does barrier change and her weakness can be one of
Fire, Ice, or Thunder.

Normal way to beat Meryujiinu

Before you fight, make one character that can use "Raibura" or "Miyaburu" to
see her weakness. Then hit her weakness.

Quick and dirty way to beat Meryujiinu

Since Meryuujiinu's barrier change changes her weakness to one of Fire, Ice,
or Thunder, attack with magics other than those (i.e. "Aeroga", "Bio", etc..).
Use "Mahouken Sairesu" to stop her magics.

5. Getting Airship
Once you beated Meryujiinu, head to east coast to get the airship. (You saw
it from top of the Pyramid, right?) Ride the airship and some towns & castles
will be sucked into the "mu" (Nothingness).

6. Pirate's Base revisited

Once you have Lenna and Faris in your party, you can obtain Shoukanjuu
(Summoned Beast) "Syldra" here.

7. Concealed Castle of Koozer (Party's Level: 34)

Place the first "sekiban" (Stone Tablet) at central table at basement of Koozer
castle. You can choose any THREE weapons for your use. Choose wisely.
Here are the locations of the weapons in Koozer
(Clockwise from Top)

Excalibur : Attribute of Holy power.
Assasin Dagger : Randomly kills target upon attacking.
Sasuke no Katana (Sasuke's Katana) : Has evade rate.
Holy Lance : Attribute of Holy power.
Rune Ax : Use MP to do critical hits.
Masamune : Always attack first in battle.
Yoichi no Yumi (Bow & Arrow of Yoichi) : No special ability.
Fire Byuuto : Randomly casts "Faiga" (Fire 3) against target.
Kenja no Tsue (Wise One's Cane) : Increases damage of "Holy"
Wizard Rod : Has every attribute, and increases magic's damage.
Apollon no Harp (Apollon's Harp) : Critical hits against dragons.
Daichi no Bell (Bell of the earth) : Randomly casts "quake".

Nasty enemies of Koozer Castle

ExdeathSoul Lv.1, HP 20000, weakness: Holy power
This is an armor that has soul of Exdeath concealed into it. Since his
attacks are strong (Death, Degeon, Shinigami no Ken (Death God's
Sword), etc..) I recommend you run. No exp.

Shield Dragon Lv. 29, HP 19999

Since he is already in the "reflec" status, your magics will be reflected.
I recommend "ayatsuru" (Control) the Shield Dragon and using "Honoo"
(Flame) against itself. It will inflict 4999 damage.

8. Town of Cresent and Town of Mirage

Gather information about town of Mirage at Cresent. Then head
to the town of Mirage by encountering at forest south-west of
cresent. Gather information, buy equipments, and buy the
level 6 magics. You can find the last "piano" here. Also,
Black Chocobo is here, but not needed at this time (since you have
airship).

9. Shrine of Solitary Island

Treasures: 12000 giru, Elixer, 9000 giru, Rising Sun,
Beast Killer, Etel (Ether) x 2, Ryuu no Kiba (Dragon Fang),
Dark Matter, Circlet, Mamori no Yubiwa (Protoction Ring)
Crystal Helm

You have to move around through the air duct in this dungeon.
Flip the right switch down to get Elixer, return to the switch room,
flip the left switch down to get 9000 giru, and flip the right switch
UP to proceed. You can steal "Eibis Killer" from "ToteEibis" (
Large bird looking enemy) which always results critical hits against
Eibis enemies. I also recommend having "Otoshiana Kaihi"
(Avoid Snare) ability here. At the very end, you'll fight Stalker.

Boss of the Shrine of Solitary Island: Stalker. Lv. 7, HP 20000
Splits up into four segments. Only one of them is the true Stalker. If you
use magics to all four segments, he'll revenge with "Blaze".

Normal way to beat this boss:

Use "Zeninage" and "Midareuchi" to inflict damages. If you like gambling,
you may want to try using "Tameru" (Charge) on one target.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Make all members in the party that can use distant attacks. (i.e. Magics,
Jump, Arrow, etc..) Then let each member of the party attack one unique
segment.

10. Concealed Castle of Koozer (Party's Level: 35)

Obtain additional three legendary weapons.

11. Fork Tower

Treasures: Etel (Ether), HiPotion, Wonder Wand, Defender 
You have to divide your party into two in this tower. One party goes up
the "Tower of Magics" (Left) and other goes up the "Tower of Power" (Right).
Note that only magics are allowed in "Tower of Magics" and only
physical attacks are allowed in "Tower of Power". Also, you have
to fight two bosses successively, so you cannot change the equipments
around between the boss battles. After you beat one of the boss,
quickly take the other. Otherwise, the tower will explode.

Boss of the "Tower of Power": Minotaur. Lv. 37, HP 19850

Normal way to beat this boss:

When the battle begun, the "mute" magic is already in effect. Thus no magics
can be used (including Mahouken). Heal your character with "HiPotion".

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Just put Monk with "Mamoru" (Guard) ability and guard until Minotaur dies.
Since "Mamoru" makes all physical attacks zero Monk won't get any damages,
and Monk's "Counter" ability would counter-attack Minotaur's attack.
This ensures your victory even with one character.

Boss of the "Tower of Magics": Subete wo Shirumono. Lv. 53,
HP 16999, weakness: Wind

Normal way to beat this boss:

Note that if you do any physical attacks against "Subete wo Shirumono",
he will cast "return" and resets the battle to beginning. (Very good way
to recover your party if you get beated badly though) Since this will
be magic battles, use "Earoga" (Aero2) against him.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Cast "Baasaku" (Bersk) to him first. Then he can't use his magics
anymore. Then use "Golem" to guard his attacks. He can't even
cast the last Flare due to berserked status.

12. Airship Modification

Enter "Catapult" that was under the Fork Tower. Cid will modify your
airship... and your new airship can transform into submarine as well.

13. The Great Deep (Party's level: 36)

Treasures: Suiton no Jutsu, Honoo no Yubiwa (Flame Ring),
Ryuu no Kiba (Dragon Fang), Etel (Ether), Fenix Down,
Kaizer Knuckle

Go through the Dwarf Kingdom and head to the very bottom floor.
After the battle with boss, you'll get the third "sekiban" (Stone Tablet)
and strongest Jikuu magic, Meteo.

Some notes about this dungeon:

Most of the monsters in this dungeon are undeads, so I recommend
using "requiem". It costs no MP, but inflict alot of damage.

On the B4F, do not push the second switch. It will remove the bridge
and you have to go around the magma.

On the B4F with five switches, push the one on upper left. This will
make a bridge to the treasure box. Other four leads to the magma pond.

On the B8F, push three switches on the lower half of the floor to
get access to the boss's room. Other one will open the door to Kaiser
Knuckle.

Bosses of the Great Deep

Toraiton (Red). Lv. 37, HP 13333, Weakness: Ice, Kearu
Neregeid (Blue). Lv. 20, HP 13333, Weakness: Fire, Kearu
Phorbos (Green). Lv. 39, HP 13333, Weakness: Earth

Normal way to beat these bosses:

Toraiton will absorb fire, Neregeid will absorb ice, and Phorbos will
absorb poison magics. Thus, you can attack them with magics that
have attribute other than the above one. "Sandaga", "Syldra"'s
ThunderStorm, and "Titan" would work. If you get hit by "Delta Attack",
heal with "Kin no Hari" (Golden Needle)

Quick and dirty way to beat these bosses:

Since two out of three are undead, use "requiem" with all members of
the party. (Need Gin'yuushijin's (Bard's) ability "Utau" (Sing)).

14. Concealed Castle of Koozer

Obtain additional 3 weapons. There should be only three weapons left
when you leave this place.

15. Basement of Bal Castle

Enter this place by climbing the wall at deadend in Dungeon of Jacole.
Go up to meet Odin, but make sure to unlock the door on bottom
before you leave this place.

Boss of Basement of Bal Castle: Odin. Lv. 2, HP 17000

Normal way to beat this boss:

You need to defeat Odin in 60 seconds... otherwise, he's "Zantetsuken"
(Iron Cutting Sword) will kill your party. Try casting magics on him
(Holy or Flare would work), or throw Shurikens ("Nageru" (Throw)
ability of Ninja required).

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Use "Mahouken Bureiku"... this will petrify Odin and only requires
2 turns. If you have time, you might want to steal "Mamori no
Yubiwa" (Protection Ring) from Odin.

16. Pheonix Tower

Treasures: 5000 giru, 10000 giru, 15000 giru, 20000 giru,
25000 giru

You need to get Black Chocobo at Town of Mirage to reach this place.
(Airship cannot land on the desert nor forest)
Land your Black Chocobo at forest north-east from the Pheonix Tower
(Tower you see in west from Carwen). Once you are in the
tower, search the wall in middle for the hidden staircase. Each floor
without staircase going up will have *two* staircase leading to
upper floor. One of the door has enemies in it, and other doesn't.
For the quick and dirty way to go through this tower, read the
following line. Otherwise, skip the following line.

L-L-R-R-L-L-R-R-L-L-R-L-L-R-R-R-R-L-L-R-Center

Note: When you meet a monster named "Magic Pot",
give him Elixer. When he escapes, he will give you 100ABP
(Ablitiy Point). Also if you happened to have "Thief" in your
party, try stealing the following items from enemies.

Sherry (Dancer with Red Dress): You can steal "Rainbow
Dress" and occasionary can steal "Sango no Yubiwa" (Coral Ring).
Komusabera (Snake Lady): You can steal "Akai Kutsu"
(Red Shoes) and occasionary can steal "Elf no Manto" (Elf's Cloak).
Chamukyubia (Floating Lady with Red Dress): You can steal
"Reflect Ring" (You can sell it for money) and occasionary can
steal "Rainbow Dress".

Why do I need these items anyway!?

Rainbow Dress and Red Shoes can only be equipped by Odoriko
(Dancer) [ Suppin too. Suppin can equip anything ] and these two
items increases the change of getting "Tsurugi no Mai" (Sword Dance)
which quadruples your sword attack. Very useful dance.

At the very top of the tower, you'll get Shoukanjuu (Summoned
Beast) Pheonix.

17. North Mountain

North mountain is located north from the forest you landed your Black
Chocobo. So, why not go there now? At the peek of the north
mountain, Bahamut will fight you... and if you win, you'll get
Shoukanjuu (Summoned Beast) Bahamut.

Boss of North Mountain: Bahamut. Lv. 99, HP 40000

There is no quick and dirty way to kill Bahamut. Use "slow" and "stop"
to reduce Bahamut's attacking oppotunities, and attack Bahamut with
Mahouken Flare, Meteo, or Holy.

18. Sunken Tower of Walse

Okay, how many of you remember that tower of Walse sunk in World One?
It sank, and it still exists underwater in World Three. You can enter this
tower by using your submarine. You'll enter from top of the tower and
make your way to bottom. However, since our hero cannot breath
underwater, you must return to the submarine before time runs out.
At the very bottom of the tower, you'll encounter Gogo. If you beat
Gogo, you'll get the last piece of the Crystal and the last job of Mimic.

Boss of Sunken Tower of Walse: Gogo. Lv. ??, HP ????

When you attack him, he will revenge your party with "Meteo", "Holy"
and "????". Listen carefully to what he say... "If you mimic me, you can
win." So do whatever he does, and if he doesn't do anything, don't do
anything.

19. Istory Falls (Party's Level: 36)

Treasures: Etel (Ether), Kame no Koura (Turtle Shell), AirKnife,
Mamori no Yubiwa (Protection Ring), Refect Ring, Enhance Sword,
12000 giru, Artemis no Yumi (Bow of Artemis), Aegis Shield,
Fuuma Shuriken, Kyojin no Ono (Ax of Giants), Rune Blade,
Kyojin no Kusuri (Giant's Medicine)

You have to enter this place from underwater cave. Look for a white spot
on your underwater map near Istory Falls.

Hints:

On B3F, you need ability "Dash" to get the treasure box behind the
running water.

On B5F, you can go to lower floor by jumping down from the holes
on lower left. Open the hole by using the switch.

Nasty monster of Istory Falls... Tonberi!

Tonberi's level is 46 and has 39393 points of HP. Also his special
attack "Houchou" (Cooking Knife : Ouch!) will randomly hit four times
for significant damage. If you think you can't kill him before he
approaches your party, run. But he will sometimes drop "Mirage Vest"
(This vest has effect of "blink" and can evade one physical attack per
battle with 100% evade rate).

Boss of Istory Falls: Rivaiathan. Lv. 39, HP 40000, weakness
Thunder

He is weak against Thunder and has an attribute of water. So,
Mahouken Sandaga and Sandaga will work the best against Rivaiathan.
If you were able to afford buy some "Sango no Yubiwa" (Coral Ring:
Sold at Town of Mirage for 50,000 giru each), you can absorb
any water attacks including Rivaiathan's Tidal Wave.

20. Concealed Castle of Koozer

Get the last three weapons.

21. Miscellaneous things you can do before going to final dungeon

All of these are optional, and if you wish, you can skip this section

Obtaining "Mighty Guard" (AoMahou : Blue Magic)

To learn Mighty Guard, head your airship and land it on water near sunken
tower of Walse. Occasionary, you will encounter an enemy named "StingRay"
(Looks like blue ray). He only does normal attackes, but when you "Ayatsuru"
(Control) him, and you will be able to use Mighty Guard. Make sure you have
at least one AoMadoushi (BlueMage) or ability "learning" and beat this ray
to learn it. He's HP is 30000. (Lv. 93) StingRay will also drop "Ryuu no
Hige" (Beard of Dragon), the strongest whip, occasionary.

Learn the "Eiyuu no Uta" (Hero's Song)

If you played all of the piano around the world, you can become PianoMaster.
By obtaining this status, bard in Cresent will present you with "Eiyuu no Uta"
which will raise your levels during battle (only during the battle, of course).

How brave were you? Chicken Knife or Brave Sword

If you go to the town of Muah, the locked door is now open.
At the very end, you can choose either Chicken Knife or Brave Sword.
Chicken Knife has strange property of running away even if you
choose "fight", and Brave Sword has high initial attack power, but
decreases everytime you run. (Chicken Knife's opposite. Attack power
increases when you run... but only before you get it) So, evaluate
your braveness here. : )

How am I doing so far?? Monoshiri Jiisan's place.

Head your airship to Karnak and dive in the bay south of Karnak. When you
look around, you'll find one cave on right side of the bay. Enter there and
old man will tell your progress up to this point. He will tell you:

Number of Fights:
Number of Monsters Slayed:
Average EXP:
Treasure Box Collection Rate:
Number of Times You Saved the Game:

Meet the Moai from Easter Island!

Head your airship above the sunken tower of Walse (don't land your airship
here). Then head directly north and dive as soon as you reach the ocean.
Continue your way up north and you'll meet small Moai on the sea floor.
This has nothing to do with the game.

22. Cleft of Dimention (Party's Level: 37)

The entrance to Cleft of Dimention is the hole where it used to be Tycoon.
Fly over the hole to get into the Cleft of Dimention. Since this dungeon
is long, I will seperate the walkthrough into following sections: The Ruins,
The Forest, The Dungeon, The Towers, The Castle, and The Final Floors.

Cleft of Dimention: The Ruins<

Treasures: Etel (Ether), Cottage, Elixer x 2, Dark Matter, Blood Sword

There is nothing special here. You can climb to upper floor by hanging
onto the moving chains. A monster called "Baldandells" (Looks like
circle with skull on it) sometimes drops "Rune no Bell" (Bell of Rune)
the strongest bell of all. (It does critical hit using MP and has all
attributes) Once you are in the town, head to the exit.

Cleft of Dimention: The Forest

Treasures: Ryuu no Kiba (Dragon Fang), Riris no Rod (Rod of
Riris), Enhance Sword

Nothing special about this place except that there is a boss in this
forest.

Boss of CoD Forest: Karophysteli. Lv. 68, HP 18000

Normal way to beat this boss:

When she uses "Reflec", nullify it with "Dispell". Then use "sairesu" to
stop her from using the magics. Since she doesn't have any weaknesses
nor attributes, any attack would work.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

"Mahouken" and "Shoukanjuu" (Summoned Beast) does not get reflect
by reflect magic. So, use Mahouken Sairesu to stop her magic and use
"Shoukanjuu" (Summoned Beast) to attack her.

Cleft of Dimention: The Dungeon

Treasures: Honoo no Yubiwa (Flame Ring), Tenshi no Yubiwa
(Angel Ring)

You can enter the left most waterfall on upper level (the level you start
with). Just after the save point, you will see "Omega" wondering.
If you wish to try your strength, fight it. If you don't want to waste
time, you can ignore it. For those of you who wished to fight,
here is the stats. If you went past Omega's place, check the book
on the table to fight the boss.

Omega: Lv 119, HP 55530, MP 60700, Attack Power 115,
Defence Power 190, Agility 76, Evade Rate 95%, Magic Defence
150, Attribute: Water, Wind, Earth, Holy Power, Poison, Ice, and
Fire.

How to beat Omega:

I'll write this at later section of the walkthrough. (So that it doesn't
spoil the challenge)

Boss of CoD Dungeon: Apanda. Lv 59, HP 22200, weakness:
Fire
(No, it's not A Panda... it's Apanda)

Normal way to beat this boss:

Basic strategy is same as Biblos of Ancient Library. You can use
Fire magics. But make sure not to use Ifrit, since he will heal himself
with "Chiryou" (Cure).

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Just cast "Baasaku" (Bersk) to Apanda and guard his attacks with
"Golem". But make sure not to use Ifrit, because he will heal the
berserked status.

Cleft of Dimention: The Towers

The roads are invisible, but you can see them with Thief's
"Kakushi Tsuuro" (Hidden Route) ability. No bosses
in this section, but enemies of this section can be tough.
Read the following hints to help yourself.

Ninja has high evade rate (70%). You can use AoMahou (
BlueMagic) "Goblin Punch" to inflict damages. Goblin Punch
uses no MP, but can hit for about 3500+ points of damage.

You can rarely steal "Artemis no Yumi" (Bow of Artemis)
from Dragon Eibis (Looks like flying dragon). Also, if you
have "Eibis Killer" (Bow you could've have stolen at Shrine
of Solitary Island), you might want to use it.

Cleft of Dimention: The Castle

Treasures: Tooru no Hammer (Thor's Hammer), Erumesu
no Kutsu (Helmes's Shoes), ManEater, Akai Kutsu (Red Shoes),
Rainbow Dress

Once you enter the main entrance, head straight and go DOWN the
staircase and go left. There, you'll fight Apocaryopus, and after
the battle, save point will open. Once you have saved the game,
explore both wings of the castle (Right wing has Thor's Hammer
and left wing has Helmes's Shoes). Once you got most of the treasures,
walk right from the save point, and fight Catastrophe. (You can
fight Arute Roite if you want to get Rainbow Dress and Red Shoes,
(One in the jail) but I'm sure you stole these at Pheonix Tower,
right?) Once you beat Catastrophe, go up the stairs until you reach
outside. Make sure to get ManEater at end of the left staircase.

Then enter the central door and you'll fight Harikarunassosu
when you try to go up the staircase. After you beat Harikarunassosu,
go up the staircase and face up at the top of the castle. You will
fight Twin Tania here. Once you beat Twin Tania, you can
followed the staircase up, and you'll warp to the last floor.
One Note: On the staircase to the warp point, enemy called
"Youjinbou" (Looks like samurai) will show up. Rarely, you
can steal "Ame no Murakumo", the strongest Katana [stronger
than Excalibur!].

Bosses of CoD Castle:

Apocaryopus. Lv. 57, HP 27900, Weakness: Poison

He uses most of AoMahou (BlueMagic) and he also can "learn" your
AoMahou.

Normal way to beat this boss:

Since his weakness is poison, Mahouken Bio can inflict 7000+ points
of damage. Keep attacking, and there shoudn't be no problem.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Steal his "Kyojin no Kote" (Giant's Glove) first. Then let one of
your member use "Jibaku" (Exploder) to Apocaryopus. He will
learn it, and if you are in luck, Apocaryopus will scarifice himself.
(One of your member WILL die) If this didn't work, just follow
the normal way.

Arute Roite/Jura Eibis: Lv. 58 - 61, HP 6000 - 15000

He will transform into Jura Eibis after some amount of damage.

Normal way to beat this enemy:

When he is in Arute Roite's shape, Mahouken and Flare works.
When you get hit by "circle" (Erases one of your character for that battle)
use "return" to reset the battle. When he transforms, Fire, Ice, and
Thunder magics will not work. Use "Bio" to attack then.

Quick and dirty way to beat this enemy:

"Graviga" works against Arute Roite. When he transforms into
Jura Eibis, use Odin.

Catastrophe: Lv. 71, HP 19997

Normal way to beat this boss:

There is no attribute or weakness so any attack would work.
He uses "EarthShaker" and if you use "leviteto", he nullifies
it with "Juuryoku 100" (Gravity 100). Cure "Akuma no Hitomi"
(Devil's Eye) with "Kin no Hari" (Golden Needle).

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

When you use "leviteto", Catastrophe will use "juuryoku 100".
So, if you make one character into "leviteto" chanting character,
Catastrophe can't do anything but "juuryoku 100"....

Harikarunassosu: Lv. 97, HP 33333

Normal way to beat this boss:

If you get hit by "Kururururu!" cure him/her with "Otome no Kiss"
(Lady's Kiss : Cure's Toad). Heal the character that got hit by
"Holy" or "Power shuuchuu" (Power Concentration) with "raise".
Since she has no attribute nor weakness, any attack would work.

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Use Mahouken Sairesu to stop her magics, and use "Minimum" to
stop her "Power Shuuchuu". Then cast "Baasaku" (Bersk) to stop
her "Kururururu!" attack.

Twin Tania: Lv. 39, HP 50000, weakness: Holy power, water
After he "power up", he will use "Giga Flare", a flare rumored to be
stronger than Bahamut's "Mega Flare".

Normal way to beat this boss:

Twin Tania's weakness is water and holy power. So use
Mahouken Holy and Rivaiathan to attack. Use "shell" to guard
your party against his "Giga Flare".

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Twin Tania's hidden weakness is when he does his power up.
When the message "Giga Flare no tameni power up!"
(Powering up for GigaFlare) shows up, use Odin.
If you have time, you may want to steal "Kyojin no Ono"
(Ax of Giant) from him.

Cleft of Dimention: The Final Floors

Treasures: Fuuma Shuriken x 3, Ragnarok
Once you arrive at the first warp site, you'll encouter Gilgamesh.
(Remember that he was sent to Cleft of Dimention by Exdeath's
Degeon??)

After a while, he will run once again.... When
you have warped twice, you'll see a treasure box on island like
place (connected with staircase). That treasure box contains
Ragnarok, but it is heavily guarded. The monster that guards
this treasure box is called "Shinryuu" (God of Dragon) and he's
stats are as follows.

Shinryuu: Lv. 97, HP 55500, MP 51000, Attack Power
175, Defence Power 60, Agility 87, Evade Rate 20%, Magic
Defence 20, Attribute: Holy power. As his initial attack, he
will do Tidal Wave, which inflicts 6000+ points of damage.

How to beat Shinryuu:

I'll write this at later section of the walkthrough. (So that it doesn't
spoil the challenge)

If you go further into the last floor, you'll meet NecroPhobia.
(Don't go straight!! Exdeath is there!) After beating NecroPhobia
and saved your game, enter through the last warp zone to
fight Exdeath. Around the save point, you'll rarely encounter
enemy called "Mover" (It come in triplets). If you are able to
defeat them, you will recieve 199ABP and 100000+ giru.
Also, you can occasionary steal "Hiryuu no Yari"
(Flying Dragon Lance) fom

"Suishouryuu" (Crystal Dragon). Here's the stats for both
of these enemies:

Mover: Lv. 52, HP 10000, Attribute: Poison, Weakness: Fire 
This comes in triplets.

Suishouryuu: Lv 62, HP 17500, Attribute: Fire, Ice, Thunder, Wind

Bosses of CoD Final Floors:

Gilgamesh: Lv. ??, HP ????

Just make sure to steal "Genji no Kabuto" and attack normally.
There shouldn't be no problem.

NecroPhobia: Lv. 66, HP 44044

Normal way to beat this boss:

You must defeat all four segments of barrier before you can
attack NecroPhobia. Use "shell" to minimize the magic
damages, and "Golem" to guard against NecroPhobia's
"Shinkuuha" (AirBlade).

Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:

Use same strategy for the barriers. Bahamut will also work well.
Once NecroPhobia is alone, use Odin. It will kill him with high
rate.

It's not quick... but want to see the end of Gilgamesh!?

You MUST follow these steps to see the end of Gilgamesh.
Kill the barriers first. Then reduce NecroPhobia's HP to 5000
or so (by using very weak magics, I guess), but do NOT kill
NecroPhobia. Wait until Gilgamesh shows up. After Gilgamesh
shows up, make sure to steal the last piece of Genji equipment,
"Genji Armor".

The Final Battle with Exdeath

I don't have Exdeath's stats handy right now. I'll update this section
once I got the data.

Round One: Exdeath

Guard your party with "Mighty Guard" (Or use "shell" and "protesu"
to everyone) and "Golem", then cast "Heisuga" to speed up your party.
Use Mahouken Flare, or anyother strong magics (Flare, Holy, etc..) to
attack him.

Round Two: NeoExdeath

There is four sections to NeoExdeath, and back two are considered to
be on back row, so all physical attacks can inflict half of the damage.
Make sure that you can heal your party with "Esna" at any give time
in the battle. "Zeninage" works pretty well if you have alot of giru
to spare.

The Ending....

Put down your controller and enjoy!

The multiple endings of Final Fantasy V

FF5j has sort of multiple endings and it only depends on who was
still standing (not dead, zombied, or stoned) at the time you killed
NeoExdeath.
