Final Fantasy III

When you first get the Mini spell from Desch, continue exploring until you find a forest with a gnome and a healing spring. He will tell you how to reach Tozus. If you have not taught yourself Mini, he will not give you anything. If you taught yourself Mini, he will supply you with another Mini spell. You can do the same with the Toad spell that you recieve from one of the blind men in Gulgan Gulch. You can do this trick up to four times if you wish, scoring one Mini/Toad spell per party member and one for your inventory.

This glitch works as if the game (which only counts whats in the inventory in this instance) thinks that you have originally sold/trashed the original Mini/Toad spell that you were supplied with.

First, you get all of your characters around level 60-65. You must have a Devout, a Summoner, a Black Belt, and a Ninja in your party. Put your mages in the back row, and make sure that the devout has every white Magic spell in his/her spell book. Then make sure that your summoner has every summon magic available for use.

The Cloud of Darkness attacks four times each round. It swipes its hand at your, uses bad breath, casts the spells haste and protect on itself, and uses lightning. After you deplete a portion of it's health, it starts using Particle Beam a lot.

The party should have the best armor and weapons equipped, and you want good defense and magical defense. Everyone should have their share of either ribbons, aegis shields, or onion armor so the bad breath attack won't affect them.

Use Arise when ever needed, and when not needed, use Curaja and Curaga every turn. When you use Arise, have everyone else that is standing use an elixir so they won't die. Intend to use up all of your shuriken and elixirs. I killed The Cloud of darkness in about 8 rounds using this technique, and this party at Level 66:

Arc: Summoner
Luneth: Black Belt
Refia: Devout
Ingus: Ninja

The four best jobs you should have when you first get to use the jobs is a Warrior, Black Mage, White mage, and Red Mage. These four jobs should help you a lot.

When you are able to get the job(s) monk and or Blackbelt get them on one of you characters immediately!

Monk and Blackbelt do massive amounts of damage even without weapons. Monks are the early stage but have about the highest vitality early and can do 9,999 as early as lvl 30 in some cases or earlier.

Blackbelts are the upgraded rank of monk but can do much more damage. Monks can boost their attack so on the next turn it can unleash a massive blow. Blackbelt also have super high vitality and agility so they can strike first, strike long, and strike hard.

In order to acquire the Ninja class -- considered to be the strongest class of them all -- you need to go to Eureka (a sidequest area found in the first floor of Sylx Tower) and go all the way through it. When seeing the last teleport (the one who usually takes you to an area with stores), turn all the way left and you will see a floating staff. By touching it you'll fight Scylla, who gives you this class, when defeated.

To kill the cloud of Darkness you need a Black Belt, a Scholar, and a Devout. The third position is up to, I used a Geomance whitch seemed to work well.

For the Devout you'll need the spells Curaga, Curaja, Arise, and Esuna and that's all you really need but if you have the rest that will help.

Everyone should be at least level 60 but the higher the level the easyer it is to beet the boss. Everyone should have a ribbon for two reasons: one, is because it helps with magic defence and two, because the Cloud of Darkness has two Tentacles that usually use "Bad Breath" that will inflict every status ailment on your party.

The Black Belt needs to have the Hellish Claws and the Dark Claws. Use the duplication cheat on either a Chocoboe's Wraith or a White Musk untile you have around 25 for all of the bosses in the world of Darkness and the Cloud.

If the Scholar uses either one of those at a high enough job level it will always do 9,999 damage. Use Curaga every turn unless your party doesn't have that much health then use Curaja. Attack with Black Belt every turn. If you have to use Arise, everyone else should use an elixer unless they have full health. If you're using the Geomancer as I did, try Terrian every turn. Within 5 to 7 turns, the battle will be cleared.

YOU MUST HAVE THE NAUTILUS FIRST. SAVE BEFORE DOING THIS.

If you take the nautilus and head to the western side of Saronia (the continent with the castle on it, upper left corner of map, not on the floating continent), there's an area with the most trees on that side. There should be a place between two rivers. If you touch down on the tip of this area that touches the ocean, you can actually dive into it. From there, you can 'bore' into the continent. If you exit into the ocean, it will push you out and you have to dive into the continent again. When tunneling through the continent, you won't encounter any creatures, as far as I can tell.

It is possible to surface at any point within the continent. In fact, you can surface through mountains. Like diving into the continent, entering an area you can normally fly around in will shove you out of the other area and not let you back. With enough skill and dumb luck, you can actually get to Falgabard without the Invincible. Of course, you can't leave after that, but hey, it's still funny.

All useable items (not weapons/armors/magic) can be duped using this method, as mentioned,

1. Open the menu during "walkabout mode" (i.e., not in a battle).

2. Select "Items" and put the item you want duplicated in the top left corner of the item list.

3. Engage in a random battle. During battle, select the item command for any character.

4. Your cursor should be at the very top left of the item box (and on the item you have placed there). Press UP and A at the same time. This should briefly take you to Weapon and Shield lists. If you see this, the code has worked after you hit the B button. Go to your inventory and you will notice that the item quantity has been added by one. You may do this for any item that is stackable.

*WARNING: This item duplication will ruin the game play, please note to do this at your own risk. If may also damage your save file so please duplicate your save before you attempt this.

In Final Fantasy III, all magics can be duped using this method, as mentioned, please use at your own risk.

Procedures:
1)Open menu screen via non-battle.
2)Select "Magic"
3)Go to any character you desire and select by A Button
4)Once at the magic menu, go select Trade (koukan)
5)Highlight a character that has magic you want to duplicate, but do not push the accept button (A button). Simply highlight the character (Hover the cursor on the character)
6)After highlighting the character you wish to duplicate magic off, hit the cancel button once (B button)
7)You should be back to the first character you chose, now go select Remove (Hazusu)
8)Now, move your cursor to the level and space of magic you wish to duplicate from the character you highlighted. You will get and hear the error message, but in reality, you are removing the magic that you don't even have(duplicated magic).


*You will now that the glitched worked on begging of step8 if the description of the magic you want to duplicate is describe in the text box. If you are using the character that has magic already (the one you chose on step 3) in the level you want to duplicate magics off, make sure you remove all magic he has equipped on before Step 1, other wise you will rewrite the loose the magic with the one you are trying to duplicate.

In the Crystal Tower, there are summoner enemies that will summon creatures to attack you. If you continue to kill their summoned creatures but don’t slay the summoner itself, you can make a lot of Gil and experience while staying in the same battle. So, for instance, if you fight the summoner’s creatures 30 times, you will make in the region of 100,000 Gil and 72,400 experience.
