FINAL FANTASY IV – Lazy Perfect Walkthrough

Guide for FINAL FANTASY IV – Lazy Perfect Walkthrough

Introduction

My first intention was to keep these screenshots for my second and third playthroughs because I wanted to play faster for a perfect game with all achievements. Later, I realized I could share this guide with other FFIV players because even myself struggling in finding hidden items and paths throughout the game. With all maps captured in pictures, it helps me walk through the game faster without remembering all the little details.

Let’s make this short. if you are like me who don’t like reading long paragraphs of walkthroughs, you probably find walkthrough easy to complete the game. This walkthrough followed gamefaqs.gamespot.com – https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/939425-final-fantasy-iv/faqs/54117 version with some modifications since Steam version doesn’t have Whyt and mini-games. I recommend reading from Action’s walkthrough if you want to know all the details of the entire game.

If you don’t want a perfect game, you can still use this walkthrough by skipping all optional sections. Before we start, here is a a few thing you must do in order to get 100% achievements.

• You must complete 100% map. I guess it’s not hard to do since you can foresee the maps before you even proceed.
• You must play at least 2 times (normal and hard modes).
• You must steal Dark Matter from Zeromus to fight Proto-Babil.
• You must defeat Geryon and Proto-Babil.

Since you are committing for 100% game, here is a few suggestions that you should keep in mind:

• Do not attempt to farm any rare items before getting Treasure Hunter Augment. Well, for example, if you spend 10 hours hunting Bomb Summon, it’s 5 hours with Treasure Hunter. I hope you get it and you don’t want to know how frustrated it was to farm those rare items (they are very rare), but you have to do it for achievements.
• There are some areas where you can enter once, so make sure that you kill all types of monsters within the area for Bestiary.
• Pay attention to the notes “Unequip”, it means that one of the member will leave the party soon.
• If you want to max stats for all characters in the second and third playthroughs, you should follow this guide how to distribute augments for the final five, but you must give a specific number of augments to other characters to get all augments. For example, you must give Fusoya 2 augments to get Phoenix, Omnicast, and Bless from him.
• Play style, how you like to rearrange your party and how you setup for boss fights, it is completely up to you. There are some bosses you may find them very difficult to defeat so I wrote some notes along the way. Make sure you read them.

Enough said, you won’t have to read super long paragraphs like this after the introduction.
Enjoy your game.
