Hint: Yew XP You may have heard of the Grand Dragon giving a lot of exp points. Well if you're an adventerer like myself you would discover that there's an island. Where a fiend called Yew waits. They come in either on themselves or in groups of up to 4. They are very hard and you really need Doomsday and armour that protects from it. You will kill them eventually and once you have you'll get more exp points than the Grand Dragon gives you.

The characters you need to use to beat Garland are Zidane,Vivi,Eiko,and Dagger. [Submitted by:2nd Class Citizen] The characters you need to use to beat Garland are Zidane,Vivi,Eiko,and Dagger. The things you got to do are right when you get into battle,let Ekio keep on using Leaviathin,but if you run out of MP to use Leaviathin start using Phinex. Then let Dagger keep on using Bahaumat, until she only has enough MP left to use diffrent gardians. Then let her keep on using Raumu.Then let Vivi Keep on using his thundaga attack. A good way to let every one stay alive is have them have Rebirth Ring.
Game Hint [Submitted by:2nd Class Citizen] Excalibur 2 <- the most powerful weapon in the game!!. Reach the last part of Memoria on Disc 4 within 12 hours. If you defeat Lich in under 12 hours, one of the columns in the room will have an '!' on it. Examine it, and you will receive the Excalibur 2.
First you must have a flying chocobo and be on disc 4. Head to the exact point where Shimmering Island used to be, and use a Dead Pepper. You will receive the Ultima Weapon
Ultima Weapon To get the Ultima Weapon, go back to the glacier around were Terra was (before Kujah went gangstah on it) and search around with a Chocobo and a dead pepper.
Luke Keenen [Submitted by:Mark mitchell ] If you go to treno you will meet a person called Luke Keenen
Unlock Doomosday Spell Doomsday is the ultimate spell! You may think if you've got it that it's a waste of time because it damages your allies. Well for Zidane you just have to equip Ninja Gear.

Game Hint [Submitted by:Cad] In Memoria Castle (the final area of the game), on the screen where Zidane convinces Quina that s/he is not underwater, you'll notice that there is room behind a coral on your right and stairs on the left. Go behind the coral and search (pressing X) until you talk to an unknown character (Note: you don't need to go all the way to the back, and an exclamation point will NOT appear above your head). Don't leave and he will engage you in a fight. When you beat this hidden boss, his name is Hades, he will have a change of heart and will synthesise some of the best items in the game for you. You can go back and synth any time you like.
Game Hint [Submitted by:2nd Class Citizen] If you are on disk 4 and have a dark blue chocobo, return to shimering island and use a dead pepper to find a great stash of treasures including Zidane's best weapon and the strong maxamilian armor. You have to be directly on top of shimmering island so to do so turn to your map and make sure your chocobo is on top of the dot that says shimmering island.
