Final Fantasy the 4 Heroes of Light Completion Guide Last updated April 3rd, 2012 Written by: ShadowofGlenn Version .91 Forward: This is not only the first version of this guide, but also the first guide I've written. Any errors, notes, or suggestions may be directed to shadowofglenn@yahoo.com. I know this guide is not pretty, I may update the aesthetics in a later version, but I'm more concerned with making the content publicly available.

There are only marginal benefits to completing everything. The Scribe crown has a stat boosting ability that gets enhanced as you complete more achievements. Other than that, your reward is adding images to the picture on the title screen. Here is a list of the completion factors: Obtain one of every item Open 100% of treasure chests Accumulate 9,999,999 Gil Master all Crowns Upgrade an item to level 99 Complete a bonus tower Speak to every animal This is not a walkthrough, but Missable, or hard to obtain items are listed in order as you progress through the game. There are other walkthroughs and item lists out there. This one is a combination of the two, so you don't make it to endgame, realizing you missed something simple like the Mythril Hammer. There are two rules you need to keep in mind as you progress through the game. Do not sell any items, and open every chest as soon as it is available. This game is very linear, and sometimes you can not get back to previous areas you just visited. The world is fully open to your exploration after an event called darkness falls. This event takes place after you have visited all seven towns. For some chests and items it is mandatory that you get them at that point. Other chests and items can be found later, and recommendations are made for when to get them. There are many unique items in the game that are very easy to find in chests or even as starting equipment. Not all of these items are covered in this guide as being special. Assuming you do not sell any items, and open all chests as soon as they are available, you will not miss these items. A few examples are the Old Clothes Yunita wears when she rejoins in Urbeth, and the Hunting Horn found in a chest in the Pirates hideout. Both easy to obtain, but if you sell them you are screwed. Also, many people tend to sell the Kings Shortsword Air starts with. Don't do that, not only is there only one, but it is the best dagger in the game. Treasure chests are all numbered, but as mentioned later this numbering system isn't exact. Some story related chests do not count, and based on the chest percentage completion, it appears the hidden treasures in the towns do not count either. Following this guide closely will result in 100% chest completion because it did for me. Finally, the content of this guide was generated from numerous sources, most of the work not being mine. Special thanks to PiperStarfire Gilmore, and ZorlockDarksoul for their guides, and the gamefaqs community for their input. Also, while flawed and sometime misleading, the Brady strategy guide also provided some good insights. Item / Chest Walkthrough [4H02] Horne [4H02H] Hidden Chests Potion - Brandt's house Potion - left side of Brandt's house Potion - Across bridge from Brandt's house, in field Dragon Wing - In a house right of the Adventurer, in a barrel Torch - Next to a bed on the top floor of the inn Dragon Wing - In Horn's western most house, upstairs, check a box Potion - Bottom leg of the wooden aqueduct by the storage shop Potion - North of town to the right of the windmill Other items in horn (may or may not count as chests since they are given to you by NPCs. Might as well collect them just to be safe.) Phoenix down - Guard right in front of Horn's south entrance(only before speaking with king?) Potion - Birthday gift from woman to the left of the item shop Potion - From man outside of wireless shop Steel Sword - From king Horn 100 gil - from minister to the right of King Horn Phoenix down - From woman in lower right door in royal chamber 1. Wood Shield - Right room in Horn Castle with two chests 2. Potion - Right room in Horn Castle with two chests 3. Potion - Left room in Horn Castle with one chest *One Time Only Item Immediately after speaking with the king, go back to Brandt's house and speak with his mother. You will get the inherited ring. This is only available before you defeat Greaps in the Witch's Mansion. *The Falcon enemies outside of Horne are a good early way to get Gale Gauntlets: 2% drop chance. However the Arp Enemies you find after darkness falls have a better chance of dropping tis item: 5.1% drop chance North Caves 4. Potion - 1F 5. Phoenix Down - 1F 6. Phoenix Down - 1F 7. Hatchet - 1F *The Bloodbat enemies are the best place to get Bloody Rings: .8% drop chance. Best to get at least one before darkness falls. Blood bats can be found in many other caves, so don't worry if you don't get one here. Witch's Mansion 8. Cure Tome - 2F 9. Potion - 1F 10. Steel Armor - 1F 11. Phoenix down - 3F 12. Horne's Bow - 1F (disguised by wall) 13. Dragon Wing - 2F After a series of events in Horne, you are now traveling with Just Brandt and Yunita. Now that you have the wayfarer crown, you can now begin farming wireless points. This is very easy to do, the best method is to collect rubies and emeralds to upgrade your crown and learn the Escape ability. Set the ability on both characters, and get into a random battle. Press the X button to activate auto mode and select Escape for both characters. Now weight down the D-pad so you are continuously walking in one direction. You will still encounter enemies when you are walking into a wall or other barrier, so now you will continuously enter and exit battles. You get five wireless points per battle, and can make about 875 points per hour this way. I like to do this immediately to get all the high powered elemental swords from Horne before the Liberte shopkeepers leave. Moonlight Tower 14. Tempest Pike - 2F 15. Phoenix Down - 2F 16. Rising Sun - 3F 17. 1000 gil - 5F *The Big Worm enemies outside of Guera and in various desert dungeons are the best way to get Earth Gauntlets: 5.1% drop chance *The Basilisk enemies are the best way to get Poison Rings: 2% drop chance Guera [4H02G] Hidden Chests Potion - In the INN between the two beds in the right room Potion - In the trees to the right of the well Eye Drops - Table in wireless shop Antidote - In the large three doorway house, left wardrobe Antidote - Behind large three doorway house, next to a bush Potion - In Magic Shop, left bookshelf Animate Tonic - Behind wireless shop - requires animal form, you will have to return later Dirt Dirk - Behind locked building - requires animal form, you will have to return later Guera Caverns 18. Torch - B1F 19. Wood Axe - B2F 20. Ether - B1F 20. Water Tome - B2F 22. Phoenix Down - B1F *Access to the Guera Caverns is available immediately once you find the town, however you can only get in at night. Make sure you get all chests in this dungeon before you go to Quicksand Castle, as it will become unavailable immediately after. Quicksand Castle 23. Phoenix Down - 1F 24. Ether - 1F 25. Blue Shot - 2F 26. Baneknife - 3F 27. Earth Axe - 4F *Strip Krinjh of his Krinjh's Sword before you fight the Sand Devil in the Quicksand Castle. Take his Krinjh's robe as well while you're at it. This will save time trying to steal one from him in the Bonus Tower. With the proper set-up, you will not need Krinjh to live through the boss fight anyways. *One Time Only Item The Earth Sword is a guaranteed drop by the Sand Devil boss. However, make sure it does not end up in Krinjh's inventory after fight, as he immediately leaves your party. Liberte [4H02L] Hidden Treasures Potion - Right wall of storage shop Gaia drum - Behind item shop Phoenix Down - Southwest corner of town by tree Dragon Wing - On the boat right of the wireless shop, check the mast Eye Drops - Flowers next to empty house, next to Adventurer Echo Herbs - Check one of the beds in the left side of the INN Hi-Potion - In the woods to the right of Apollo's house Potion - In the King's chamber, in a bush to the right *Buy a Knife in Liberte or Urbeth before darkness falls. There are no more in the game after this point *Buy at least one Tranquilizer in Liberte before darkness falls. They are hard to obtain after 28. Giant's Ring - Apollo's House Pirate's Hideout 29. 300 gil - B1 Left 30. Rock Lance - B2 31. Terra Stave - B2 32. 500 Gil - B4 33. Icebrand - B4 34. 500 Gil - B4 35. Ocean Stave - B4 36. Hunting Horn - B4 37. Antarctic Wind - B4 *The Lamia enemies in Pirate Hideout are the best way to get Sleep Rings: 5.1% drop chance *Make sure you get all the treasures in the treasure room before darkness falls. The get replaced with other treasures later *One Time Only Item Talk to Apollo in Liberte after you go through Pirates hideout for Apollo's talisman Liberte's Whirlpool 38. Stream Cape - 1F 39. Earth Bow - 2F 40. Bolt Sword - 1F 41. Echo herbs - 1F * This dungeon becomes unavailable after darkness falls, so get all four chests now Fairy path 42. Spirit Ring - 1F 43. Spring Gauntlets - 1F Hunting Caves 44. Ether - B2 45. Thunder Axe - B3 46. Hi-Ether - B4 *Make sure you get the High-Ether now; it gets replaced with a quest item after darkness falls Urbeth [4H02U] Hidden Treasures Hi-Potion - Trylion's shop, right bookcase Potion - House south of Accessory shop, dresser in back room Alarm Clock - Box on pier south of Accessory shop Hydraxe - inn, check the left tub Zeus's Wrath - In the water behind tower to the sky Great Tree Log - Bylion's item shop, upper level Cross - Inside tavern, back left near barrels Hi-Potion - to the left of the tavern, near wooden barrels 47. Red Shot - Tower to the sky back entrance There are many items that you should get in Urbeth at this point; fortunately money is no longer an issue. You can make unlimited gil by selling stuff behind the counter in Thouzand's shop. This is explained better in other guides, so I will not go into great detail here. Basically buy as many ethers as you can from Bylion's shop. Talk to the man in front of the Counter at Thouzand's shop and say you want to sell stuff. A screen will pop up with places to put your items. You want the layout with two "group" spaces, and one single space on the top row. If you do not get what you want, cancel out and try again. Once you have the proper layout, put five ethers in the top row, and mark them all for 5000 gil. Put the "Hot Deal!" Icon over the single Ether slot. For each ether you sell, you will make either a 250% or 500% profit. You will not necessarily sell all five ethers every time, so repeat this trick as necessary. Another tip for Urbeth is to buy three Hermes sandals and one Gem Collector at the Wireless shop. These will be used to farm Diamonds from a boss just before darkness falls, and from other bosses in the game. This will set you back 21,000 Wireless points, so you may want to leave your game auto-battling over night. Like mentioned before, you can get about 875 Wireless points per hour this way, so you will need about 24 hours of points saved up. *Buy an Ice Pick In Urbeth or Invidia before darkness falls. They are hard to obtain after *The Succubus enemies outside of Urbeth are the best way to get Confuse Rings: 5.1% drop chance * The Garm enemies outside of Urbeth are the best way to get the Lone Wolf accessory: 2% drop chance *The Ikakku enemies outside of Urbeth while on the boat are the best way to get Death rings. 1.2% drop chance - You will find more of these enemies throughout the game in multiple locations. Feel free to wait on this one Arbor [4H02A] Hidden Items Hi-Potion - Grass a few steps in front of save point Eye Drops - Blue mushrooms just before Great Tree Roots Echo Herbs - Blue pot next to the item shop Alarm Clock - Blue pot above item shop Bomb Fragment - Bed in small room to the left of the wireless shop Potion - Blue mushrooms in front of wireless shop Potion - Basket behind Wireless shop Phoenix Down - Queen's chamber, right path to the great tree seed *Buy a Stun Stiletto In Arbor before darkness falls. There are no more in the game after this point *Buy a Silence Cape and a Sleep Cape in Arbor before darkness falls. There are no more in the game after this point Great Tree Roots: 48. Great tree harp - B1F 49. Phoenix Down - B2F Animal Staff - B2F: This item does not count towards the treasure chest completion percentage, abased on the fact that all other quest related items from chests don't count. Great Tree Phoenix Down - 1F Wind Cape - 2F Phoenix Down - 3F Hi-Potion - 3F Phoenix Down - 2F Wood Lance - 4F Ether - 3F-4F connection Fairy Cape - 3F Hi-Potion - 4F *The Batter Fly enemies in The Great Tree are the best way to get Flash Rings: 2% drop chance *The Rattatox enemies in The Great Tree are the best way to get Wind Daggers: 5.1% drop chance *The Mandragora enemies in The Great Tree are the best way to get Stun Rings: 2% drop chance *Strip Torte of Torte's clothes and the Sacred Tree Staff before going and talking to the Queen after defeating Arbaroc (first fight) Ice Caverns West 50. Hi-Potion - 1F 51. Intellect Ring - B1F Ice Caverns East 52. Ether - 1F 53. Flame Spear - B1F 54. Darkening Harp - B1F Invidia [4H02I] Hidden Treasures Potion - Table south of weapon shop Hi-Potion - Cooking pot to the east of the storage shop Tranquilizer - South of the INN, stove with the teapot on top Animate Tonic - On the staircase leading up to Rekoteh's room Antidote - Sleeping man to the North-West of the math game Bomb Fragment - Straight south from item shop on table Potion - Tree north of dragon's egg Dark Sigh - Window above Rekoteh *One Time Only Item Make sure you opt to trade mythril for the Mythril Hammer before you try to wake the dragon's egg with Firaga. *Make sure you buy the Elementalist Robe and the Ranger Outfit in either Invidia or Spelvia before darkness falls *Buy a Darkness Axe in Invidia before darkness falls. They are hard to obtain after *Before you go to the Invidia Underground, you are given the Magic Key. Unfortunately, you can not backtrack to Horne until after darkness falls. There is no path back to Arbor through the Ice caves, and the road through the Animal Cave is now blocked as well Invidia Underground 55. Inferno Stave - B1F 56. Book of Shiva - B2F *Strip Rekoteh of her Rekoteh's Clothes and Shark Lance before riding the Dragon to Spelvia Urbeth *Buy at least one Raven's Yawn from Urbeth after obtaining the magic key, but before darkness falls. They are hard to obtain after *As Yunita, speak to all the shop owners for new gear. Thauzand gives you a Steel Sword +5, Trylion gives you a Trylion Ring, Bylion gives you a Potion, and Mylion will trade you a pair of Rainbow boots for a mythril if you have any. (Mythritoises are located outside of Urbeth at night.) Tower to the Sky 57. Cura Tome - 2F 58. Dark Cape - 3F 59. Star Earring - 4F 60. Raise Tome - 5F 61. Ether - 6F 62. Hi-Potion - 7F 63. Soil Cape - 7F 64. 500 Gil - 8F Spelvia Dungeons 65. Phoenix Down - B3F 66. Shining Axe - B3F 67. Shine Cape - B2F 68. Book of Ramuh - B2F Spelvia Hidden Treasures Remedy - To the right of the dungeons exit Shining Harp - Behind tombstone Holy Breath - Behind pool of water, right of the tombstone Indra's Spear - Behind item shop, around the back Animate Tonic - Candles, in the bottom right corner of inn Dark Sigh - Broken pillar in horizontal hallway before throne room Dragon Wing - Throne room, left staircase at the end Echo Herbs - Rolan's chamber, left side 69. Courage Ring - Throne room, right staircase behind pillar. *Make sure you buy a Stardust Bow from the Spelvia Weapon shop before Darkness falls Rolan's Soul 70. Hero Armor - Underneath central staircase. *The Doppleganger enemies in Rolan's Soul are the best way to get Curse Rings: 5% steal chance *The Doppleganger enemies (specifically Aire) in Rolan's soul are the best way to get Cursed Blades: 5.1% drop chance *Strip Rolan of Rolan's Clothes before defeating Geri and Freki in Rolan's soul Spelvia [4H02S] *The Rolan boss fight is the best way to get a Lightbringer sword: 25% steal chance *The Rolan boss fight is also the quickest way to farm diamonds. This is explained better in other guides, so I will not go into great detail. The best set up is four Merchants with the Keeper ability. Three of your party members should not equip armor or shields, and they should have Hermes Sandals equipped. For your fourth member, equip the Hero Armor you just got, and a Gem Collector accessory. This ensures at least three get a chance to find a gem, and the fourth has the chance to survive the first round of Rolan's attacks so they can find a gem as well. Enemies target your characters from strongest to weakest, so try to have your gem collector on your "weakest" character. For me at this point it was Yunita. After Darkness Falls [4H02DF] Horne This is a good time to go to Horne and check your chest percentage. Immediately after darkness falls, you should be at %. There are four more chests to get in Horne Now that you have the Magic Key. Your percent after each chest should be as follows: 71. X-Potion - Cid's House 72. Hi-Ether - Cid's House 73. Soul of Thamasa - Horne Castle Using a simple algebraic equation, now we know there are exactly # chests in the game, and that we are on target for 100% *The Arp enemies outside of Horne after Darkness falls are the best way to get Quaking Harps: 10.2% drop chance AND Gale Gauntlets 5.1% drop chance Liberte There are a few more Magic Key Chests to get 74. Soul of Thamasa - House locked by magic key in Liberte Town 75. Remedy - House locked by magic key in Liberte Town 76. Stunning Harp - House locked by magic key in Liberte Town Mt. Gulg 77. Flameblade - 1F 78. Fire Axe - 1F 79. Burning Harp - 2F 80. Flame Cape - 2F 81. Elf Cape - 4F Pirate Hideout - 82. Fresh Meat - B4F 83. Dancer Clothes - B4F 84. 1000 gil - B4F 85. Monk Robe - B4F 86. Death Tome - B4F 87. 1000 gil - B4F Rusty Compass - B4F Hunting Caves Hi-Elixer - B4F *The Fungus enemies in the Hunting Caves after Darkness falls are the only way to get the Great Tree Sword: 5.1% drop chance *The Lilith enemies outside of Urbeth after darkness falls are the only way to get Whispering Harps: 10.2% drop chance Sun Temple 88. Growth Egg - B2F 89. Fossil Cape - B2F 90. Death Cape - B2F *The Mammon Boss is the only way to get the Claustrum, and only from the first fight with him: 5% steal chance Ice Caves There is a secret entrance to the Ice caves with two chests 91. Turtle Shell - 1F 92. Hi-Ether - 1F *The Wraith Enemies in the Ice Cave and Rolan's Soul after darkness falls are the only way to get Silence rings: 5.1% drop chance Magic Laboratory 93. Star Earrings - B4F 94. Darkness Staff - B2F 95. Evil Lance - B2F 96. Darkga Tome - B2F 97. Black Book - B2F *Stealing from Satan is the only way to get the Darkbringer Sword: 5% Steal Star Chamber 98. Phoenix Down - B1F 99. Ribbon - B2F 100. Kiku-Ichimonji - B2F 101. Ether - B2F 102. Fresh Meat - B2F 103. Hi-Ether - B3F 104. Hero's Will - B3F 105. Fortune Egg - B3F 106. X-Potion - B4F Bonus Towers [4H02BT] * Chests in the bonus towers do not count towards the totals, however be on the look out for the Elixir Item which may be found randomly on any floor besides the exit floors. *The Wyvern enemies in the Mysterious light house are the only way to get Holy Lances: 2% drop chance *The Adventurer in the Trial Tower is the only way to get the Adventurer's garb: 25% steal Chance, 15% drop chance 106 chests = ~9.4 percentage points per chest. I tracked the percentage points starting when Cid is first available. If you have every available chest by the time you reach Cid, you should be at 68%. The first chest you get in his house will bring you up to 69%, and it will remain at 69% when you get the second. The math does not add up, so I can't say for sure exactly which chests may be optional, so just get all the ones I listed to be safe. I'm happy to update my data if someone can determine exactly what counts, and a few others validate it. In-game Item List [4H03] This list is a quick guide if you are cross checking your items with a complete list. The order of this list matches every item as it appears in the storage shop list. Also included is the items location. Many items have multiple locations, but only one is listed. The location listed is the easiest way to obtain the item in my opinion.

There are two methods to complete it. The active method involves farming Diamonds from Ogre Bear, and the passive method relies on the auto-gem farming trick to fill your Amethysts, Aquamarines, Topaz gems and rubies overnight. The Bear method will get you about 500,000 gil per hour of tedious farming, while the auto-farm method will get you about 250,000 gil every four hours while you leave your game to play on it's own. The optimal set up I've found for the Ogre Bear method is four Story Teller Crowns each equipped with Finder, Keeper, Kamikaze, and Escape. Three party members should have Energy Screens from the Invidia wireless shop, and the fourth will need the Gem Collector Accessory. This character will need very strong physical defense by upgrading armor and the unyielding shield. The goal is to have all four characters use Finder and Keeper before they are KO'd, then have everyone use Kamikaze to end the battle and go again. The Ogre Bear will consistently attack the same character first, so make sure that character is one with an Energy Screen, and give them the Shield of Light to prevent the instant KOs. The Ogre Bear is in the Animal Caves, so save in Guera and turn all characters into animals and enter the cave from the west. Escape from all battles on the way. For the overnight gem farming, you can use the same set up as above, but equip exactly two Storytellers with Hermes Sandals. Have these characters Auto-battle set to use Finder, and the other two set to use Escape. Travel To Invidia, and go outside into the Ice Caves. This place is important because the Behugemore enemies have Amethysts. Use both methods to minimize the time it takes to complete this achievement. Mastering All Crowns [4H04CR] Use the Gem farming method above to max out your gems. Leave your game auto farming in the same Ice Cave location, then to the left of Horne. Max diamonds from Ogre Bear, and repeat as many times as necessary to master your crowns. Upgrade an item to level 99 [4H04UP] Farm gems, upgrade any item that can be upgraded, repeat. After +9, you will need to give the upgrade shop an Orihalcon to upgrade 10 more levels. You'll need 10 Orihalcons total to upgrade to 99, and keep one for your item list. Upgrades will cost one more gem per 10 levels, and will eventually include all gem types. Complete one bonus tower [4H04CO] You'll need to do this many times over for the other achievements, so you do not have to worry about this one. Speak to every animal [4H04AN] For this achievement, you must speak to every animal in the seven towns in animal form. The adventurer's fox counts, but you only need to speak to it in one location. As far as I am aware Torte, other temporary characters, Arbaroc, and the parrot in Brandt's house do not count. This achievement can not be completed until the curse is lifted in Horne. If you are starting this task before darkness falls, the list below only applies to the daytime. *Please note one animal is missable! Talk to the cat in Rekoteh's room when you first arrive in Invidia. It will disappear after darkness falls.
