[10 September 2009] *-------------------* |3 | Purpose [PRPS] | *-------------------* This guide will tell you how to force various rare drops by abusing the weak random number generation method of the game. *------------------------------------------------------* |4 | About this Guide/Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ] | *------------------------------------------------------* This guide is excerpted from my main FAQ/Walkthrough in order to compile the information in an easy to find location. Most of the time, the equipment is not as important as the stats of the characters, so important stats are noted. Weapons such as the Angel arrows and Sledgehammer, which cause status affects are generally always important if the character with them attacks. What you do in previous battles does not affect what happens in future battles, though if you spent too much time in a battle you may "skip" certain battle in the sequence (this only applies to interior areas and not the overworld). *--------------------------------------* |5 | Guaranteed Drop Methods [RNGLIST] | *---------------------------------------* List of RNG Guaranteed Drop Methods: 5.1.

Story Requirements : - Must have access to Devil's Road Dungeon - Must not have completed the Mist Cave, thus it can only be done before the Kain's Tale segment of the main game. Item needs and how to get the encounter : - Have a healthy supply of Hi-potions. - Go to the save spot in Devil's Road. - Save and reset the game (using the Home button on the Wiimote/Controller) - Upon reloading, immediately head to the left through the teleporter. - Take a few steps, and you should run into an encounter with a Lilith and 2 Bloodbones. Lilith Fight : - Have Hooded Man or Ceodore (whoever acts first) use a hi potion on the Lilith. - Just attack until the 2 Bloodbones are destroyed. - Silver Apple drops. - Return through the transporter. - Save game, reload, repeat until you have as many apples as you want. At low levels (ie: low character speed), you may want to lower the battle speed until you get use to entering the commands so that no enemies will attack before you use the Hi-Potion, which will mess up the drop. Total time required to get a silver apple : 1 - 2 minutes ____________________________________________________________________________ }---( 5.2 Kain's Tale Guaranteed Drops [RNGKAIN] )---------------------------{ ______________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________ ___________________________________________/ Cat Claw - Kain's Tale [RNGKCC] | Discovered on the GameFAQs forum by JGPJR79 Equipment and Party Positioning : 3 Front, 2 Back, from top to bottom - Ceodore : Obelisk, Diamond Shield, Diamond Helm, Diamond Armor, Giant's Gloves - Rosa : Angel Arrows, Elfin Bow, Sage's Miter, Luminous Robe, Rune Armlet - Kain : Diamond Shield, Dragoon Lance, Horned Helm, Ice Armor, Diamond Gloves - (blank) - Cid : Sledgehammer, Cross Helm, Plate Armor, Bone Wrist Important Stats : - Spirit : Rosa 66 How to encounter the important fight : - East side of the Devil's Road (Mysidia Side) during the Waning Moon. - Reset at the save point halfway through the devil's road. - Just walking back and forth the top area without going in any teleporters - Run from battles that have no Grey Coeurl. - The 3rd Grey Coeurl Fight is the one you're looking for. Grey Coeurl Fight : - Do the Saint Dive Band with Kain - Finish the battle after it lands. - Cat Claws drop. Total time required to get the Cat Claw : ~5 mins. _______________________________________ _____________________________________/ Giant's Gloves - Kain's Tale [RNGKGG] | Discovered on the GameFAQs forum by Keith_Kuruzu, some additions by me. Equipment and Party Positioning : 3 Front, 2 Back, from top to bottom - Ceodore: Obelisk, Diamond Shield, Diamond Helm, Diamond Armor, Diamond Gloves - Rosa: Angel Arrows, Elfin Bow, Gold Hairpin, Luminous Robe, Diamond Armlet - Kain: Diamond Shield, Dragoon Lance, Diamond Helm, Diamond Armor, Diamond Gloves - (blank) - Cid: Sledgehammer, Diamond Helm, Diamond Armor, Diamond Gloves You don't have to have that exact equipment, the stats (especially the attack and defense multipliers are more important. Rosa should have the equipment listed, though. Angel Arrows, Sledgehammer, and Obelisk are important. Important Stats : - (Attack Multiplier) : Ceodore 9x, Rosa 6x, Cid 10x - (Defense Multiplier) : Ceodore 7x, Rosa 3x, Cid 2x How to encounter the important fight : - Change moon phase to Waning Moon. - Save and reset the game (using the Home button on the Wiimote/Controller) - Load under Waning Moon for less encounters. - Enter the Challenge Dungeon. - Sprint all the way to the inside of the castle. (Feel free to grab the respawning treasure chest outside if you want) - Run from everything except a battle with 3 MAD OGRES. - The battle with 3 Mad Ogres should be your 7th battle, regardless of whether or not you were attacked outside. (Waning Moon should help you avoid fighting too much outside anyway) - For confirmation, the battle before the Ogre battle should be a Pre-Emptive Strike vs. 2 Coeurls and a Summoner. - The 3 Mad Ogre battle should also be a Back Attack. - When you get to that battle, play out the battle exactly like scripted. Just be quick with the timing of some of your attacks. 3 Mad Ogre Fight : - All 3 Mad Ogres attack everyone (Farthest attacks Cid, Middle attacks Ceodore, Nearest attacks Ceodore) - Kain attacks last Ogre with JUMP - Middle Ogre attacks Cid - VERY QUICKLY select Ceodore to attack Nearest Ogre because... - ...Nearest Ogre will immediately attack Ceodore so after! Be quick here! >_< - Ceodore attack against nearest Ogre goes off. - Farthest Ogre attacks Rosa - Rosa attacks Nearest Ogre - Cid attacks Nearest Ogre (kills it) - Kain's JUMP lands and hits Farthest Ogre (kills it) - Ceodore attacks last Ogre - Last Ogre attacks Ceodore - Rosa attacks last Ogre (Confuses it) - Let last Ogre kill himself - Giant's Gloves drop. Notes: So long as you select Ceodore to attack after the middle ogre attacks Cid, but before the nearest ogre attacks Ceodore, it seems to work fine. It is important that Kain be in the air after the three initial Ogre attacks, and that he does not land until the nearest ogre is killed by Cid. I have had an 11x multiplier on Kain whereas the above setup is for a 10x multiplier, but it should still work, as the near ogre is the one that drops the gloves in this battle. Battle Order : -Outside- 1 Mad Ogre, 1 Coeurl, 1 Lamia (Pre-emptive -Interior, 1F- 1 Mad Ogre, 1 Coeurl, 2 Balloon 1 Ghost Knight, 1 Coeurl, 1 Lamia Matriarch (Surprised) 1 Sorcerer, 2 Ghost Knight (Preemptive) 1 Storm Anima, 2 Coeurl, 1 Ghost Knight 1 Sorcerer, 2 Coeurl (Preemptive) 3 Mad Ogre (Back Attack) Note that if you get the respawning chest, you will usually get a 3 Balloon Surprise fight outside instead of the first fight listed inside. Total time required to get the Giant's Gloves : ~5mins. ___________________________________ _________________________________________/ Blue Tail - Kain's Tale [RNGBuTL] | Discovered on the GameFAQs forum by slayn777 Level Requirements : - All characters need to be about Level 50 (for attack multipliers and correct timing of the kill).

Thunder Dragon Fights : - Attack with Kain, Ceodore & Cid, note that this should NOT kill it. - Wait until the Thunder Dragon attacks you. - Attack with Rosa - Attack with Kain - He will get the finishing blow. - Blue Tail drops. Total time required to get Blue Tail : ~10 minutes (About 5 minutes from reset) ___________________________________ _________________________________________/ Grey Tail - Kain's Tale [RNGGyTL] | Discovered on the GameFAQs forum by Blacksmoke_X and Master_Link08.

Fight this battle using the order below. 9th Grey Coeurl Fight (Surprise): - Top Cait Sith attacks Rosa - Bottom Cait Sith attacks Cid - Kain attacks and kills bottom Cait Sith - Ceodore attacks Gray Coeurl - Gray Coeurl attacks Kain, then misses Kain on the second hit - Cid attacks Gray Coeurl - Grey Coeurl's blaster counter misses Rosa - Kain attacks Grey Coeurl - Grey Coeurl's blaster counter misses Rosa - Ceodore attacks Grey Coeurl - Kain attacks Grey Coeurl - Ceodore attacks Grey Coeurl - Grey Coeurl's blaster counter paralyzes Ceodore - Cid attacks Grey Coeurl - Kain attacks Grey Coeurl - Grey Coeurl's blaster counter misses Kain - Remaining Cait Sith attacks Ceodore - Rosa attacks and kills remaining Cait Sith - Kain attacks Gray Coeurl - Grey Coeurl attacks Kain then Ceodore - Cid attacks and kills Grey Coeurl - Gray Tail drops. Total time required to get Grey Tail : ~13 minutes Notes: Sometimes you'll get an extra surprise battle as the 9th fight, and then the tail drop will be on the 10th. If the 9th fight is a surprise and it doesn't go at all correctly, run. ____________________________________________________ ________________________/ Good Treasure - Kain's Challenge Dungeon [RNGKNCD] | Discovered on the GameFAQs forum by squaresoft7, some additions by me How to Trigger: - Exit Baron - Save and reset the game (using the Home button on the Wiimote/Controller) - Immediately load the save - Enter Baron, immediately dashing into the Inn. - You should enter the Inn as the NPC closest to the entrance of the town takes his second step. It is okay if the NPC north of the Inn also takes a step at this time. - Dash up to Namingway and talk to him to enter the challenge dungeon. - You can do anything once inside, so long as you entered the Inn at the proper time, the end treasure after defeating the Curse Dragon will be from the 'Good Treasure' list. Notes: Originally tested on Waning Moon, but I've found that it works on any moon. I usually do it on Waning though and rest before the dragon to shift to New Moon for killing it. If you're having trouble with the timing, walking to the inn seems to generate the right amount of time. ____________________________________________________________________________ }---( 5.3 Rydia's Tale Guaranteed Drops [RNGRYDIA )--------------------------{ ______________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________ ___________________________________/ 3 Silver Apples - Rydia's Tale [RNGRSA] | Discovered on the GameFAQs forum by Teratron Party Positioning and Equipment: Any Positioning works. - Luca : Tomahawk, Iron Shield, Horned Helmet, Horned Armor, Iron Gloves - Rydia : Any Knife or Whip, Wizard's Hat, Mage's Robe, Silver Armlet - Calca : Dancing Dagger, Any armors. - Brina : Dancing Dagger, Any armors. Important Stats : - (Attack Multiplier) : Luca 9x - Intellect : Rydia 44-47 How to encounter the important fight : - Go to the final save in the Sealed Cave. - Take the north exit and dash to the rope. - Then dash to the northwesternmost room and enter it. This room has two chests and two exits. - Quicksave the game. - Reset the game (using the Home button on the Wiimote/Controller) - Quickload. - Run around in here and run from everything except the fifth and sixth Lilith fights Lilith Fight #5: - Luca attacks either Lilith, killing it. - Kill the remaining Lilith however you like, as long as you do it in one action (So that you don't skip Lilith fight #6). - Silver Apple drops. Lilith Fight #6: - Rydia casts Fire on either Lilith, killing it. - Calca (or Brina) uses Dancing Dagger on the remaining Lilith - Brina (or Calca) uses Dancing Dagger on the remaining Lilith, killing it. - 2 Silver Apples drop. Lilith Fight Order: 1. Back attack 2. Preemptive 3. Normal (about 5 non-Lilith encounters) 4. Normal 5. Normal (Silver Apple drops 6. Normal (2 Silver Apples drop) Total time required to get the 3 Silver Apples : ~5 mins. Notes: Make sure you do a real save sometime to avoid losing your progress. A few encounters past the third Lilith fight, you'll be surprised by a Cait Sith and three Needlehogs. You will be surprised by four bats in the following fight, which takes a while to run from due to Bloodfeast. You can avoid this fight by going up the stairs to the north immediately after the Cait Sith fight. Stay in this room until you get a Preemptive encounter against two Cait Siths, then return to the other room. Stay near the stairs while wandering in the northern room, as a Surprised fight against three bats follows soon after. If you're not able to make it back down the stairs before this encounter, switching rooms is pointless. In Lilith fight #6, having Luca attack a Lilith followed by using a Hi-Potion on the remaining Lilith is an alternate method for obtaining a Lilith Rod. This is the exact same fight as in Uiru's method, just using this equipment setup. If you no longer have the dolls, simply kill the second Lilith in Lilith Fight #6 however you like. You will only get 2 Silver Apples per run without them. If you only have one Dancing Dagger, try giving it to Brina along with the Clown's Clothes. She may be fast enough to get in a second Dancing Dagger usage before the Lilith attacks. _____________________________________ _______________________________________/ Mythril Nut - Rydia's Tale [RNGMNT] | Discovered on the GameFAQs forum by DaShoWSToPPa28 Party Positioning and Equipment: 2 Front, 3 Back, from top to bottom - (blank) - Luca : Gaia Hammer, Mythril Helmet, Flame Mail, Mythril Gloves - Rydia : Chain Whip, Gold Hairpin, Black Robe, Sprint Ring - (blank) - (blank) Important Stats : - (Attack Multiplier) : Luca 8x, Rydia 4x - (Defense Multiplier) : Luca 2x, Rydia 3x How to encounter the important fight : - Go to the last save in Agart Mines and tent until Waxing Moon. - Save and reset the game (using the Home button on the Wiimote/Controller) - From the save, if you go straight to the Quarto Doll Room you should run into 1 Cave Naga and 2 Ettin Snakes.

Listen to multiple loops of the cave music and eventually the Moon changes at 0:31 from Waning Moon to New Moon. - From this point, start trying to get into encounters. - You'll get the following order. 1st: Ettin Snakes and Naga (Run) 2nd: Mindflayer, Cait Sith, Ogre (Fight, do drop) - Fight this one by casting Bio on all and then attacking with Luca, to be safe.

Notes: I credited Biifcake and hoshe because they found that the attack order messed up unless they gave Izayoi the Black Cowl and Zangetsu the Steel Headplate instead of the other way around. You'll want to do the Power Sash RNG method five times and then the Giant's Gloves method 5 times in order to do this. Izayoi will get the killing drop.
