=======================================================================
I)A Secret With Ruby
=======================================================================
At the beginning of the game, after fighting Baku for the first time,
Baku will start explaining about the first mission that you will be
having and that is, to go to Alexandria and kidnap Princess Garnet.
If you keep answering Baku's question incorrectly for 64 times, Ruby
will then storm into the room. And, as to what happens next, you find
it out yourself.
=======================================================================
II)Treno Auction
=======================================================================
Remember Final Fantasy VI's auction house? Yes, it's back in Final
Fantasy IX. You can do all the bidding in Treno. There are lots of
key items and some powerful equipments being auctioned off. You MUST
do your very best to bid for these items. Of course, money talks.
Upon entering the auction house, the auctioneer will first list down
all the items that are going to be auctioned off. The item will then
be auctioned off one by one in ORDER. To bid, go to the stage until
you see a '?' mark over Zidane's head. Then, press the X button and
a menu pops up. The menu automatically reveal a price that is 100 gil
higher than the previous price that is being offered. You can then
adjust your bid but take note that each adjustment costs a difference
of 100 gil and you MUST offer at least a price of 100 gil more than
the last bid. Your opponents are those nobles sitting down and it
the last bid. Your opponents are those nobles sitting down and it
seems that they have a lot of gil to give away. See below to see
what cool items you can bid.
Key Items
---------
The key items offered at Treno's Auction house are Mini-Cid, Griffin's
Heart, Doga's Artifact, Une's Mirror, Rat Tail and Magical Fingertip.
Other important items that you MUST GET include Dark Matter, Thief
Gloves etc.
Bidding Tips
------------
The trick to offer as little gil as possible when bidding for an item,
is to avoid being caught into a bidding war. If you attempt to outbid
the nobles at every turn, they will keep raising their bids and as a
result, you have to pay even higher price, just because they know that
you are VERY DETERMINED to outbid them.
The trick is to let the nobles bid among themselves for a while and
when it seems like the item is about to be sold, quickly offer a
price that is reasonable and is HIGHER than the last. This last-minute
bid will most likely guarantee you to get the item at a reasonable
price. If you allow the nobles to keep raising the price, you might
not gain a profit when you resale the item. Check the resale value
of the key items below.
Resale Value
============
After purchasing the key items in the auction house, it's wise to
sell these items to the nobles so that you can earn a profit. Don't
worry since the key items you sold, will reappear in the auction
house again. When selling the key items, choose to decline their
first offer and the noble will offer a higher price. The second
offer is the highest price that can offer, so accept the deal.
Also, take note that if you leave the auction house before the key
item is sold, it will still be available the next time you enter
the auction house.

|NOTE |Griffin's Heart must be sold to the Adventurer first if you |
| |have it before the Adventurer will buy the Rat Tail from |
| |you. |
|______|_____________________________________________________________|
____________________________________________________________________
|NOTE |The Scholar at the Synthesis shop is an exception case since |
| |he will never increase his offer to purchase the Doga's |
| |Artifact from you. [What a stingy person!!! Why can't he |
| |offer a higher price?] |
|______|_____________________________________________________________|
=======================================================================
III)Final Fantasy III Music [Japanese]
=======================================================================
After the world of Terra has been destroyed, if you have the key item,
Doga's Artifact and Une's Mirror, at the beginning of disc four and
onwards, return to Black Mage Village. Check the gramophone at the
Black Mage Village. The background music changes to a beautiful melody
taken from Final Fantasy III [Japanese] soundtrack and this melody
continues on until you leave the Black Mage Village.
=======================================================================
IV)Getting Excalibur
=======================================================================
Excalibur sword is Steiner's third most powerful sword. You will
definitely want this sword since it lets Steiner learn a powerful
ability, Climhazzard.
In disc four, return to Daguerreo. Talk to the old man near the inn
in the library. The old man's last wish is to find an item called
the Magical Fingertip. This key item can be found in Treno's Auction
House and it might cost you a decent amount of gils during the bidding
House and it might cost you a decent amount of gils during the bidding
war. After getting the Magical Fingertip, return to Daguerreo and
give it to the old man. In exchange, you get the powerful Excalibur
sword.
What If Magical Fingertip Doesn't Appear:
----------------------------------------
This situation happens to me also. The only advice I can give you is
sell away ALL your key items you have purchased in the Auction house
previously. [Please refer to 'Treno Auction' section for details on
the resale value of these key items.] After selling these key items,
Magical Fingertip should appear at the Auction. Also, bid for the
key items, that you have sold again.
=======================================================================
V)Getting Excalibur II
=======================================================================
Steiner's most powerful sword, Excalibur II is indeed hard to get.
This is a challenge to all RPG veterans and you MUST really need to
be very familiar with every parts of the game. To get this powerful
sword, it is inevitable that you will lose a lot of chances to get
some powerful weapons, items etc earlier in the game. I haven't got
this sword yet since I haven't begun my second round of playing Final
Fantasy IX.
You have to reach the Terrace in Memoria within 12 hours. You will
encounter a boss fight there. Defeat Lich there and quickly check
the second pillar from the right. You should see a '!' mark appearing
over Zidane's head. This mark indicates the position of the sword,
Excalibur II. If you exceed the time limit, the '!' mark will
immediately disappear.
Some Tips For You:
-----------------
a)Know the game at fingertips to prevent wandering around aimlessly.
b)Skip all FMVs.
c)Skip all Active Time Event when possible, except for the compulsory
ones.
d)Have minimum enemy encounter. Use Zidane's Flee ability.
e)Skip all dialogues very quickly by pressing X button rapidly. Set
message speed to maximum.
f)Plan your game carefully like what equipments to buy or equip.
g)Reset if you take too much time.
h)Save when needed like after an event, visiting a town etc. Don't
save too often since time is wasted when you are saving. Yeah, it
save too often since time is wasted when you are saving. Yeah, it
takes time for the moogles to appear in the world map or 'throw'
the book at you. Save a few slots also.
If you want a good faq to help you get Excalibur II, I recommend that
you read Etoh-21/SNOWS-san's Excalibur II faq found at gamefaqs.
=======================================================================
VI)Quan's Dwelling Reunion
=======================================================================
After the destruction in Alexandria by Kuja in disc three, return to
Quan's Dwelling with Quina and Vivi in your party. Quina starts to
dream about food and a conversation soon takes place on the patio. I
won't reveal anything about this conversation but you will meet a
very important person here and learn some profound things. After
the conversation, search the stopped clock on the patio to find a
Running Shoes.
=======================================================================
VII)Secret Of The Eidolon Wall
=======================================================================
A very big secret is engraved on the Eidolon Wall in Madain Sari. I
won't reveal what is this secret. Take note that you can only reveal
this secret from disc four onwards and it's rather complicated, in
my opinion.
Steps:
-----
a)Form a party with Dagger and enter Madain Sari.
b)Visit Lani who is standing on Eiko's back porch. Lani will run away.
c)Exit village and return with anyone, EXCEPT Dagger and Amarant.
d)Then enter Madain Sari, find Lani in Eiko's back porch and talk to
Lani twice.
e)Go to the Eidolon Wall.
f)Walk clockwise from the entrance by heading to the right. You will
arrive back at the entrance eventually.
g)Move just past the '!' until a chime is heard.
h)Walk counterclockwise back to the entrance, just past the '!'
again.
i)Repeat steps f) to h) for another 8 more times. Make sure you hear
a chime.
j)On the ninth round, your HP and MP will all be recovered and any
status abnormalities will be removed.
k)Read all the paintings on the wall. You can read them in ANY ORDER.
l)After reading all the paintings, return to see the Ifrit painting
l)After reading all the paintings, return to see the Ifrit painting
drawing and look for an extra message.
m)You have discovered the Secret of the Eidolon Wall.
=======================================================================
VIII)Legendary Synthesis Shop
=======================================================================
Defeat Hades in Memoria and you will gain access to the Legendary
Synthesis shop. [Please check out 'Hades' section in the 'Secrets
[Optional Boss]' content.] Below shows the list of the items that
are offered in the Legendary Synthesis Shop.

IX)Final Fantasy IX's Second Ending
=======================================================================
Complete the Stellazzio quest and keep Cinna's Hammer in your item
inventory. [Please refer to 'Stellazzio: Zodiac Coins' section in
the 'Side Quest' content for details on how to complete this quest.]
DO NOT use the Hammer in the Legendary Synthesis Shop. You will
see an additional hidden sequence in the ending. [Your eyes got to
be sharp to see the difference(s). The second ending is just a few
minutes longer than the original one. Have one save file with the
Hammer in your inventory and another save file without the Hammer
in your inventory to spot the differences.]
