[final kaoss]

• 4 Ways to Get the Robe Of Lords

First way to get it is to play the Chocobo's Hot and Cold game and earn 10,000 points and redeem the points for Robe Of Lords by talking to the Mene the moogle

The second way is to go through the Stellazzio: Zodiac Coins sidequest. Give the 12th coin to Queen Stella and you will recieve a Robe Of Lords as your reward

The third way is to beat Hades and gain access to the Legendary Synthesis Shop. You must have a White Robe, a Black Robe and 30,000 Gil to get a Robe Of Lords.

The fourth way is to steal using Zidane. Bosses like Ozma and Hades carry a Robe Of Lords. Equip Zidane's Master Thief ability, which can be learned from using Thief Gloves (which can be bought in Treno's Auction House) and Bandit ability, which could be learn from Mythril Dagger. Equip the N-Kai Armlet to ensure that Zidane has a good chance of stealing successfully.

• Alternate Ending

You have to finish the Stellazzio (Zodiac) Quest and keep "Shina's Hammer", which you find in the room after fighting Lich on disk #4. Don't lose, use, or sell/combine the hammer. It has to be present in your inventory for you to get the alternate ending. | [Sent by EvilSeifer]

• Battle Setup

Two must-have abilities for the entire party is auto-haste and auto-regen don't worry about equipping abilities like auto-potion because when you get further in the game the enimies will cause a lot more damage auto- potion and even beast killer, stone killer, ect are abilities that should only be used in the first 3 discs. | [Sent by RichardPing]

When you go to Lindblum, go to the weapon shop. When there, walk around next to the green-dressed boy until a ! appears in a buble.

[final kaoss]

• Defeat Iifa Boss Easily

When batteling the Tree of Life in the Iifa tree, cast "Life" on it and it will die in one hit!

Note: this also works on all of the other undead monsters in the tree. | [Sent by DaTrAsHmAn15]

• Defeating Ozma

If you encountered all the spirits in Gaia and satisfied their requests go to Chocobo Aerial Garden (you will need a Gold Chocobo and a Dead Pepper). Examine the stone on the second platform and choose the third option, then the first option to fight Ozma. To defeat Ozma, put Zidane, Dagger, Quina and Eiko in your party. Have Quina use Magic Hammer three or four times to steal all Ozma's Magic Points -- from now on it cannot use any spells. Then, have Zidane and Quina attack and Dagger and Eiko heal (do not use summons, you need a large amount of MP in this battle). With some of patience (an half of an hour if you are lucky), you should defeat Ozma. | [Sent by CidHighwind]

• Easy AP

Walk around in the darkness for awhile in the field and forests around the town that has the auction house and lady who collects the zodiac signs. You will encounter a ghost. Give it some ore and you will win the battle, resulting in 10 AP. | [Sent by CidHighwind]

[final kaoss]

• Easy Lifa Tree Defeat

To defeat the "soul" of the Lifa Tree just have Dagger or Eiko in your party, then just cast life on it. The boss is a dead (zombie) monster so bringing it back to life would be like killing it. | [Sent by ZidaneTribal]

• Extra Animations

If you leave the title screen idle for about 30 secs character profiles will come up. Leave it idle for longer and even more will come up. | [Sent by BrendanOfCastlemahon]

• Fighting the Soul of the Ancient Tree of Life

When fighting the Soul of the Ancient Tree of Life, never use a Fire spell. If this is done, it will counter-attack your entire party with this Fire magic or do an attack that can deal over 700 HP of damage. Sometimes he may even use it two times in a row that can immediately end the game. Instead, use others spells such as Ice 2 or Bolt 2, which can do some very heavy damage on him.

• Frog Catching Awards

The frog catching minigame may seem like a stupid waste of time -- but it can actually be a source of some good items and new weapons for Quina, plus the number of frogs Quina eats will power up the "Frog Drop" spell. Here are the rewards:

2 frogs: Ore Stone
5 frogs: Ether
9 frogs: Silk Robe
15 frogs: Elixir
23 frogs: Silver Fork
33 frogs: Bistro Fork
99 frogs: Quina's Master appears and fights you; just use standard attack/heal techniques and be around level 40. You'll get the Gourmet Fork for winning. | [Sent by EvilSeifer]

• Get Excalibur I and II

To get Excalibur
Buy the "Magic Finger" item at the Treno Auction early on. Once you reach Dargelo, give this item to an eldery man you meet there -- and he will give you Excalibur in return.

To get Excalibur II
This one is way more difficult. You have to get all the way to Hades in under 12 hours. After beating Hades, check the farthest right pillar for the sword. | [Sent by EvilSeifer]

• Grand Lethal

So, how do you get Zidane's ultimate trance 'Grand Lethal'? Well, it's really easy when you know how! Just learn the ability 'Thievery' with Zidane and you will also get Grand Lethal. You can learn thievery with 'Angel Bless' or 'The Tower'. | [Sent by Amarant]

• Griffin's heart

You want to make 10,000 gil easily? Well then go to the Treno auction and buy the Griffin's heart on disk 4. After you do that, go to the adventerer wandering by the Members Only tea party. Talk to him and he first will offer you 8,000 gil, select to No Way! he'll make an offer for 10,000 gil. Thats the highest amount you can get for griffin's heart. | [Sent by thugangel]

• Jump Rope Mini-Game

In Alexandria, have Vivi approach the girls jumping rope near the ticket both and talk to them. They will let Vivi join them. Press X every time the Mark appears over his head to jump. If you keep on jumping without tripping, you can receive some gil, rare cards, and a key item. The rope gets faster after a while so good luck! | [Sent by Tharuboy]

• Kuppo the Moogle in the underground excavation tunnel

In the underground excavation tunnel on the second disk, you can borrow a guy's pick by trading him a potion. You can find this guy right past the 3rd(exit) switch. Climb past the vines and talk to the guy to get his pick. On the top level, go to the very far right and face the wall that looks bumpy. Start digging and shortly a moogle will pop out. | [Sent by Akaru427]

• Land Spirits Locations

In certain spots of the world map you'll stumble across a couple of friendly monsters. They are land spirits and each of them will make a request from you. Fufilling their request enables you to be able to use the "Attack" command when you are fighting Ozma, who's unlocked in the Chocobo Garden by inspecting a large rock on the upper right hand corner.

You'll get Garnet's strongest Summon, Ark, from defeating Ozma but it is a very hard battle, so be sure you find all the land spirits:

Squirrel: Around Dali. Ore stone.
Ghost: In front of Treno (but not too far) or around the South Gate. Ore stone.
Ladybug: Around the Black Mage Village. Two Ore stones.
Yeti: Forest outside Madain Sari. Two Ore Stones.
Nymph: Forest near Iifa. Three Ore Stones.
Jabberwock: Forest East of Oeivell. Emerald.
Feather Suckle: Ice Continent, on the Chocobo tracks. Moonstone.
Galda: Forest outside Gizamaluke Cave after climbing rope. Lapis Lazly.
Yan: Bile Island (small island near center of map). It will keep running away until you have found all eight other Land Spirits. Diamond. | [Sent by EvilSeifer]

• New Carbunkle/Fenrir Skills

Diamond + Carbunkle = DiaLight
Virgin's Hope + Fenrir = 1000 Year Dust
Moonstone + Carbunkle = Pearl Light
Emerald + Carbunkle = Emerald Light | [Sent by EvilSeifer]

• Quiz Master

Look for a weirdly-dressed character aroung the Black Mage village. You can recognize him by the circle and an X floating around him. This is the Quiz Master. Confront him and he will ask you a series of 13 questions. For each correct answer you will receive a ton of AP. Try to answer ALL 13 -- and you'll get a Memory Ring. | [Sent by EvilSeifer]

• Rope Jumping Awards

50 jumps: Cactrot Card
100 jumps: Genji Card
200 jumps: Alexander Card
300 jumps: Cat Paw Racket
1000 jumps: King of Skipping Title | [Sent by EvilSeifer]

• Skip the Unskippable Movies

Are you tired of watching the movies over and over again, with no way to skip them? Or is your game freezing up and you can't continue without restarting the game? Here's the solution: Open the PlayStation cap, to show the C.D., then close it again ( SquareSoft/Square Enix has the complete technology of this), and it should skip right back to you playing again. It shortens the waiting time. | [Sent by JamesGregware]

• Stellazio Quest

To get stronger summons,you need to have a lot of gems(garnet,topaz,sapphire,ect.)you can buy them in the town daguerreo,the island near the chocobo's lagoon on the coast of the forgoten continent. If you buy at least 60-70 gems of the same type,the summon corrosponding to that particular gem will also get stronger.ex. 70 opal=9,999 damage from shiva if dagger is around level 50-60.you MUST have the boost ability(learned from "pumice piece")in order for this trick to work.the boost ability raises the attack power of the summons.if you dont have the
