1. Go to the Phoenix Cave with Locke in one of your parties. Steal from the Apuila (A bird creature) and you will get an Economizer. Try several times because sometimes youll just get Fenix Downs.

2. Go to the forest east of Gaus fathers house. Sometimes a Brachiosaur appears. Fight it (VERY HARD) and sometimes it drops an Economizer.

3. Go to the Coliseum and bet a Gem Box. If you win the battle youll receive an Economizer.


Kill an Undead Enemy Easily
When in a battle against a ghost or undead enemy you can use a Revivify or Fenix Down from the items menu, and any life magic. This will kill undead enemies in one shot.


Gain Levels Overnight
You need a turbo controller for this trick. On the Lete River, when you go in circles select fight, fight, health, and auto crossbow using memory (config menu) if you do this correctly you can leave it sitting overnight and be at level 50 - 65 the next day.


Moogle Charm
Heres how to get the Moogle charm, possibly the best relic in the game.

When you first find mog, talk to him. he will join your group. after this happens, walk to the wall that was behind him, and press search. (a) You will receive the charm. With this Item equipped, you cannot be attacked by invisible monsters!!!!

Secret Characters
GOGO
- in the world of ruins go to the triangle island and fight a zone eater let it suck your party up and you can find Gogo.

UMARO
- Go to Narshe in the world of ruins then go up to where the esper Tritoch is. Fight the esper and he will give you his powers then a chunk of the mountain will fall down. If you enter the hole you will find a maze that leads to the Terrato esper, some magicite, and Umaro. If you have Mog in your team he will join you.


Second Memento Ring
Make your way to the second floor of Strago and Relms house. In the left hand corner (the one with the tables and chairs) face south and press A to gain another Memento ring.


Paladin Shield
To earn the Paladin Shield, you must get the Cursed shield from an old man in Narsh after you get the Falcon Airship. Equip the shield, and win 255 battles with it. That will break the curse...and thus, you will now have the Paladin Shield.

Once the shield becomes the Paladin shield you can complement it nicely by also equipping the ribbon. The character who has both of these items will be impervious to every ailment except the count down timer.


Getting Shadow in the World of Ruins
If you cant seem to find Shadow anywhere after you leave him behind and the world blows up, its because you cant - hes dead. To avoid this, when the game asks if you want to wait for shadow (before the world of ruins blows up) choose to wait for him. Hell arrive with 4 seconds left on the timer and your party will automatically book it out of there. You can then find him in the cave where you usually find Relm. Hell be taken back to Relms town but will soon leave. Go to the colosseum and put up the weapon that you found in the Veldt cave. You will be able to fight him - defeat him and hes yours!


Get Mog
To get Mog before the world of ruin go to narshe after you get your girl from ZoZo. (It should automatically send you there.) Walk out of the elders house after she says shell talk to the Espers. Then go to the house with all the treasures in it. (Its on the east side of the town on the upper level.)

You will see Lone wolf stealing the tresure out of the locked chest. follow him out, he will lead you up to the Esper, he will threaten to throw Mog off the edge the. Then the Esper will knock them both off, they will both be hanging on. If you save Lone Wolf he will give you the gold hair pin that he got out of the chest, if you save Mog he will join your party.


Get Genji Glove
You can get a Genji Glove when you are at the returners base for the first time when you go outside and talk to Bannon. When he asks you to become the last ray of hope (or something or other) say no, he will send you inside. Go back out and say no again, he will again send you back in - go out one more time and say no again he will send you inside and the injured soldier will come in and you will get a Genji Glove instead of the Gauntlet.


Quicker Spell Learning
World of Balance:
First of all, one of your characters must know the Doom spell (if you dont, then Snare from Mogs Dusk Requium dance works too, but not as well since it sometimes casts Rock Slide instead). You must also have the airship. Fly to the small island in the north-east corner of the map where you would normally find Zone-Eaters and GoGos cave in the World of Ruin. Run into some battles, and you will mostly run into what appeares to be nothing, but is actually a behemoth-like creature that is just invisible. When you start the battle it is asleep. DO NOT ATTACK IT WITH SPELLS OTHER THAN DOOM OR SNARE OR ELSE IT WILL WAKE UP AND CAST METEO AND KILL YOUR PARTY! When you kill it you will get 10 Magic Points toward new spells. Enjoy!


Getting the Rename Card
During the course of the game, you may find you dont like the names you have selected for your characters. Like if you named Sabin after your former best friend and you want to change it. Go to the Colosseum and bet the Elixir. If you defeat Cactrot you win the Rename Card. And if you dont like it, you can bet it for the mysterious Marvel Shoes, if you can beat the Doom Dragon. Suggestion: Equip a strong character like Cyan with the Genji Glove and Offering to really clean up at the Colosseum!


Getting the Exp. Egg
In Darills Tomb(World of Ruin) you can find the exp. egg relic. It doubles the number of exp. points a character gets after a battle. First, find the seemingly worthless room with four tombstones. On them will be carved four-letter phrases that make no sense. Then find the room with the blank tomb-stone in the upper left area of the tomb. Go to the tombstone, it will ask you to carve an inscription. The four nonsense phrases will appear. Carefully select each one in an order to where the phrases lined up will say " The world is square". Then you will be told where to find the egg. In the third basement , a wall will have opened up to the right of the trasure chest. Walk through the wall and get the egg.


Get the Chainsaw
Go to the inn in Zozo and set the clock to 6:10:50. If done correctly, the wall on the right side will open to reveal a treasure box. Open it and you will find the chainsaw.


Kill the Ghost Train the easy way
To easily kill the Ghost Train use a phoenix down on it.


Kill the boss of Magic Tower easily
In the World of Ruin there is a tower where only magic can be used. At the top, after you get the Gem Box, you will fight a boss. This boss is pretty hard because he always changes his element. Here is the trick. Cast "Stop" on him. Then cast "Scan" to find out his weakness and hit him with that element. Dont forget to use "Life3" on all your party members because at the end of the battle he casts "Ultima" which kills everyone.


Easily Defeat Wrexsoul
For those who think it is difficult to defeat the flame boss: Wrexsoul in Cyans dream, consider doing this. All you need to do, is Immediatley use the X-zone spell (can be learned with the fenrir esper). This should kill Wrexsoul in one hit.


Locations of characters in the World of Ruin
Locke- Found in the Phoenix Cave (must have airship first!)
Sabin- cant miss him. In the first town when Celes reaches the shore, Sabin is holding up a damaged house.
Edgar- The so called "Gerad" is Edgar. Follow him to Figaro castle and go to the control room filled with those tentacles.
Setzer- Keep talking to him in Kohlingen.
Cyan- Go to Zozo, but the rust-rid and use it on the rusted door, climb Mt. Zozo and look for Cyan at the top.
Gau- Take three members to the Veldt and fight until Gau joins up with you.
Relm- go to Jidoor, make your way through Owzers home and fight Chadarnook. After the fight she joins you.
Strago- After you have Relm, put her in your party and visit the tower of fanatics. Strago will join you if you have Relm.
Terra- on your second trip to Mobliz, fight Phunbaba, after the fight is over, Terra joins up with you.
Shadow- see "getting shadow in the world of ruin"
Mog- This one is easy. Find Mog in the Moogle Cavern.
Umaro & GoGo- see "secret characters"


How to get all of Stragos lores
To get all of the lores go to Kefkas tower and fight DARK FORCE. Use life three on all of your party members. Also take Strago with you because he has to learn the lores. The Dark Force will use all of the lore attacks that Strago needs to know. (You will have to wait awhile to get the dark force to use Quassar)


Hint: Get Weapons Easily
Save your game before you do this because this is a glitch, but its a useful one. Get Relm and then go to the coast where you found her. Have someone in the party that knows Vanish. Enter a battle and kill all but one monster, and then use Vanish on the last monster. If youre lucky, you will gain almost every weapon in the game plus several economizers.


Glitch: Get Items Easily - Alternate Method
Here is another way of getting a ton of items. Save your game before you attempt this because it will freeze the game sometimes. After getting Relm and Strago, go to the continent where you found Gau, with Gau and Relm in your party. Have Gau leap off to learn a monsters ability. When he returns, quickly have Relm sketch Gau. If it works the screen will freeze for a moment and then return to the main exploration screen. If it has worked you should have a ton of items on your items menu. Note: This trick will not work in the newer versions of the game.


Hint: Kill Things And Heal Too
Late in the game when you have the Gem Box, Economizer, & Quake magic learned, simply equip all your characters with the Gaia Gear armor and cast Quake to deal damage to enemies and heal your entire party. Realm is great with this trick because of her strong magic ability.


Hint: Eight Attacks A Turn

To attack eight times in one turn, do the following. Equip a character with the Genji Glove and the Master Scroll relics, and then equip weapons in both of their hands. This will allow that character to attack eight times in a single turn! What’s more, if you cast the Quick spell on that character, they will be able to attack a staggering sixteen times in a turn!

This is obvious to many gamers, but some don’t realize this. To cast spells on multiple members of your party, or multiple members of the enemy party, simply hit the R or L buttons to toggle between single-and-multiple targets.
