World of Balance
(1) Mines of Narshe
Party: Vicks, Wedge, ????? (Terra)
BOSS: Whelk
After fighting Whelk you come to the frozen Esper(tritoch). You'll go into
a fight sequence where Vicks and Wedge dissapear leaving Terra.
(1) Arvis' House
Items: Search the clock for an Elixir
Terra wakes up back in Narshe where a man removes the slave crown.
Terra can't remember anything. The Imperial guards come and Terra
is forced to escape thru the back door of the house and run back to
the mines.
(1) Mines
Party: Terra, Locke
Chests: Fenix Down, Sleeping Bag
(if you wait until the World of Ruin to get these, they'll
have changed to a Pod Bracelet and an Elixir)
BOSS: Marshal
Additional items: You can take Mog's Mithril Sheild and Mithril Pike
After entering the mines, Terra walks a little ways and is spotted
by the guards. She is cornered and the floor gives out and she
falls. There is a flashback where Terra remembers some stuff. The
scene shifts back to Arvis' House where Locke is introduced. Locke
finds Terra and the guards find them both. Moogles come and offer
to help. Three Moogles (Kupek, Kupop, Kumama) form a group with
Locke plus there are two other groups with four Moogles each (Mog,
Kuku, Kutan, Kupan and Kushu, Kurin, Kuru, Kamog). You can control
each of the groups, the object is to stop the guards from reaching
Terra and defeating the commander. Before defeating the commander
switch to the party Mog is in and remove his shield and pike (Locke
can use the shield and the pike can be used by Edgar who you'll get
shortly), after all Mog won't be needing them for quite a while and
by then you'll be able to equip him with other stuff. After defeating
the commander, Locke grabs Terra and takes off through the mines. He
comes to a switch and pulls it, opening a secret passage. Remember
where this passage is, you'll need it later. You are now outside
Narshe. You can't enter the main part of town but you can enter the
classroom.

Points of interest: A bucket of recovery water (recovers hps and mps)
A save spot
Chests: Monster-in-a-box, Sleeping Bag, Tonic

Party: Terra, Locke, Edgar
Points of interest: Item shop, Tool Shop
Chests: Fenix Down, Soft, Tonic, Antidote

After heading south from Narshe, you come to the desert castle of
Figaro. Upon entering the castle go straight ahead to the throne
room. Here Edgar is introduced. You are now free to explore the
castle. If you talk to the Matron (in the left tower) she will tell
you about Sabin, who you'll meet later. After talking the Matron
return to the throne room and talk to Edgar again. One of Edgar's
guards comes in and informs him that Kefka is approaching the castle.
As Edgar, talk to Kefka's guards and then Kefka himself. After they're
done talking walk up to where Locke is waiting. Edgar decides to
protect Terra. Now, as Terra, follow Locke to 'your' room. Kefka
comes back and sets fire to Figaro. Talk to the guards
and then talk to Kefka. Go up and talk to the guard there.
Your party escapes and Figaro enters submerge mode. After fighting
the M-TekArmor, go south to the Cave of Figaro. If Terra uses
magic during the fight with the M-TekArmor you'll see a little scene.

At the Cafe, Shadow is introduced, you'll be seeing him later. At
the Relic Shop, buy a pair of Sprint Shoes (unless you like going
slow), one pair is enough for the entire party. At the house north
of the Inn check behind the bookcase in the room with a draft to find
a secret passage. Nothing but money down there right now but later
you'll need to know about it. After getting equipped go to the
Chocobo Stables and pay the 80 GP (unless you want to fight to your
next location). It's not very far but riding the Chocobo is fun :)

Items: search the bucket next to the stove for a Tonic
Points of interest: you can catch some Z's in any of the beds
(6) Mt. Kolts
Chests: Guardian,Atlas Armlet,2 Tents

The path is straight forward. At the end you reach Vargas. After
a bit of fighting with Vargas, Sabin will come. Vargas will blow the

Items: search a bucket for Antidote
search a pot for Tincture
search a pot for Green Cherry
Additional items: You can either get a Genji Glove or a Gauntlet
After entering, follow the guard to Banon's room. After talking to
Banon talk to everyone and get everything (including the White Cape
that is in a secret passage on the right side of the 'storage room'),
then go out of the hideout where Banon will be waiting. First, tell him
"no" then go back inside and the man in the 'storage room' will give
you a Genji Glove. If you say "no" to Banon 3 times and you'll skip
the part where everyone's at the table and one of the guards will give
you a Genji Glove (if you didn't already get the one from the guy
in the store room). If you go to Banon and tell him you will become
there last ray of hope he will give you Gauntlet (if you haven't already
gotten the Genji Glove from the guy in the store room). Locke will split
to scope out South Figaro after the Empire invades. Banon joins you
and you head for the raft on the Lete River.
Lete River
BOSS: Ultros
If Banon dies the game is over, so protect him. There are several
save spots along the way, these spots are also the only places you
can access the subscreen. Do whatever you need to before jumping
back on the raft. Toward the end of the raft ride you reach Ultros
the octopus. After the fight, Sabin jumps in after Ultros and is
swept down river.
The game now gives you a choice of three scenarios. One with Terra, Edgar
and Banon, one with Locke, and the last one with Sabin. You can do these
in any order you want, it doesn't matter what order you pick. However,
if you do Terra, Edgar, and Banon's before Sabin's then Shadow will stay
longer.
--TERRA, EDGAR, and BANON scenario--
Lete River continued
Party: Terra, Edgar, Banon
The trio continue the raft ride on the Lete River. Again, make sure
Banon doesn't kick the bucket or your game is over. At the end of the
ride you find yourself a little east of Narshe, which is where you
want to go.
(1) Narshe/Mines
Chest: Rune Edge [in mines] (if you don't get this chest until the World
of Ruin it'll become a Ribbon)
The guards won't let you in thru the main entrance so you'll have to
find another way in. Remember the secret entrance Locke showed you?
That's the way in. You're now in the mines. Go a little ways and
you come to a follow-the-light-maze. If you make a mistake all you
need to do is press the A button when the yellow light is in front
of you. If you miss it you'll have to fight some enemies and
then you'll have to start at the beginning of the maze again.
Once you get past this maze you can reach a cave of Moogles (and a
chest containing a Rune Edge or Ribbon if you wait) by going slightly
out of your way. Remember where this cave is because later in the game
Mog will join you here). Once you get out of the mines you will be back
in Arvis' House where you started. You will talk a bit with
Arvis and then the scenario will end.
--LOCKE's scenario--
(4) South Figaro
Party: Locke
Chest: Hyperwrist, RunningShoes
Items: Check the clock you see when you first come out of the secret
passage for an Elixir
Check a pail in the old man-who-wants-cider's house for Tonic
Additional items: Cider is located here (Rare item)
Old Clock-Key is located here (Rare item)
First of all, DO NOT talk the guards in MagiTek armor (unless of
course you have a death wish :) Oh, and don't forget to equip your
stuff. Go to the Item shop and talk to the merchant next to the clock.
This will start a fight. Use Locke's Steal command and you'll steal
the clothes right off him. Dressed as a merchant, enter the house
to the south of the Item Shop and go down stairs. The kid will only
allow you to pass if your dresses as a merchant. Now go up onto the
perimeter wall and talk to the green suited guard. Steal his clothes.
Go towards the center of town where you'll find three guards (one
guarding the door to the rich guy's house, one in MagiTek armor, and
one guarding the path to the rest of the town). Talk to the bottom
guards. Enter the Cafe and go downstairs. Steal the merchant's
clothes. You'll also get Cider. Go back to the house with the kid
and go upstairs. Talk to the old man at the desk. Go back down
stairs and give the password ("Courage") to the kid. He'll open up
a secret passage for you. Go to the upstairs of the house and into
the first room. Walk behind the bookcase to find a stairway. Go all
the way down and follow the hall. After you are asked about changing
clothes (doesn't matter if you do), go straight down into the
wall (there is a stairway there)If you are wearing the merchant's clothes
or your normal clothes you'll
hide in the rafters. If you're wearing the soldier's uniform you
stand next to the door and salute, and then when you rescue Celes she
says something close to what Princess Liea said in Star Wars when
Luke rescued her on the Death Star (replace soldier with Stormtrooper).
After dropping from the rafters, enter the open door. Remove Celes'
chains. Talk to the sleeping guard and take the clock key. The
second door is a save spot and the third is where you want to go.
Go to the clock in the far back and check it. Wind the clock to
open a secret passage.
(4) Secret Passage
Party: Locke, Celes
Chests: Iron Armor, Heavy Shld, RegalCutlass, X-Potion, Ribbon,
Ether, Earrings
BOSS: TunnlArmr
In the secret passage there is a spot that you can push on the left
wall to reach a stairway leading down to a X-Potion, a Ribbon, and
and Ether. Once you make it out of the secret passage you'll be in a
spot where all you need to do is leave the town. Go west to the Cave
of Figaro. You've been here before, just go back out the way you came
in. Don't forget the pond with the turtle is a recovery spring. As
you are about to exit the cave, TunnelArmr attacks.Defeating TunnelArmr
will end this scenario.
--SABIN's scenario--
Hut (Gau's father's house)
Party: Sabin, Shadow
Enter the hut just east of where you start. Quickly talk to the guy
on the Chocobo. He sells lots of stuff. Next talk to Shadow and
he'll join you. Go east a bit then south until you come to a bridge.
This is the Imperial camp.
(9) Imperial Camp
Party: Sabin, Shadow
Your group hides and overhears the plans to storm Doma Castle.
(10)Doma Castle
Party: Cyan
BOSS: Leader
You can kill the soldiers on either side of the leader pretty easily
but just kill the leader and get it over with.
(9) Imperial Camp
Party: Sabin, Shadow
Chest: Star Pendant, Monster-in-a-box(Telstar), MithrilGlove,BarrierRing
In the left tent there is a chest. Kicking it brings the dogs, which
you have to fight, and hitting it brings a sentry which you fool by
meowing. Inside is a Star Pendant. There's a little bit of story
about Kefka poisoning Doma and you decide to try and stop him. After
the first time you chase him, instead of talking to him, explore the
camp for more treasures. You fight and chase him around for a bit but
are stopped by some soldiers. While fighting them, Kefka poisons Doma.
After showing a bunch of soldiers die of poison in Doma Castle you
control Cyan. Go to the throne room. After the King dies go to the
room east of the throne room. Cyan's family dies. Scene cuts back to
the Imperial Camp where Cyan joins Sabin and Shadow. Escape the camp.
After leaving the camp go south to the forest.
(11) Phantom Forest
Party: Sabin, Shadow, Cyan
Points of interest: after the first stretch of forest you go up, the pond
right in front of you is a recovery spring.
At the end of the forest you'll come to the Phantom Train. If you
haven't done Terra, Edgar, and Banon's scenerio yet, then Shadow
will leave you somewhere in the Forest.
(11) Phantom Train
Chests: Earrings, Monster-in-a-box(Specter), 2 Fenix Downs, Sniper Sight
BOSS: Ghost Train
Caboose: Upon enter the train go right to find the caboose. Talk to
the ghost and you can have him join you (if you use its
POSSESS command, and it works, you'll lose it). Also in the
caboose is a guy who'll tell you about the train, and a save
spot.
Car 1 & 2: In the first two cars there are a bunch of ghosts. These
ghosts will either try to join you, attack you, or sell
you stuff (Item Shop). The rest of the ghosts in the
train will do the same things.
Car 3: Upon entering a ghost comes and blocks the door behind you.
You have to kill the ghost to leave. Once back out, climb
to the top of the car and you'll jump across to the next car
and then again to car 5.
Car 5: Enter the car and pull the switch to detach the rear cars.
Pull it again to open the wall up so you can continue.
Car 6: Sit at the center table and the ghost will serve you (this
replenishes your stats). After sitting down the first time
sit down again with different members at the head of your
party to see different sequences (For instance, Shadow will
get up and feed Interceptor).
Car 7: 1st room: Siegfried attacks as you approach the chest. After
defeating him, he grabs the contents of the chest
and runs.
Car 8: 2nd room: four chests.
After car 8 your ghost companion leaves.
Car 9: save spot
