"Final Fantasy IX" Master's Degree Quiz

Answer: Quan

Quan lived in Quan's Dwelling (surprise!), near Treno, before he passed away. If you take Quina there on Disc 3 or 4, he can unlock the Qu's secret...

Answer: Cross Helm

You can TAKE the Cross Helm from Beatrix when she and Steiner are defending Alexandria from Mistodons, but that is by no means stealing. You can steal the Chain Plate and Mythril Sword from Beatrix on the first encounter, while the Ice Brand can be stolen on the second or third encounter (or both, if you really want).

Answer: True

Gilgamesh can be found in two different places: In Alexandria, under the alias 'Alleyway Jack'. Or you can find him Daguerreo as a 'Master' Treasure Hunter. It turns out that he's only a lousy Rank D hunter. If you become Rank S, he'll reward you with the Rank S medal (which has no use, other than being shiny), and scuttle away, telling you that his real name is Gilgamesh, a name heard so many times in "Final Fantasy" history.

Answer: 24,123

You can only find the Behemoth in Memoria, and once in Treno for the 'Monster in the Cellar' challenge. There is a 25% chance that it will counter a physical attack with Meteor, so watch out!

Answer: 24

They are (in alphabetical order): 1,000 Needles, Angel's Snack, Aqua Breath, Auto-Life, Bad Breath, Doom, Earth Shake, Frog Drop, Frost, Goblin Punch, Limit Glove, LV3 Def-less, LV4 Holy, LV5 Death, Magic Hammer, Matra Magic, Mighty Guard, Mustard Bomb, Night, Pumpkin Head, Roulette, Twister, Vanish and White Wind.

They can all be learned by Quina eating certain enemies. Different enemies will teach Quina different things. For example, eating a Zuu will teach Quina White Wind, but eating a Carrion Worm will teach him Auto-Life.

Answer: 100

Thievery can only be learned from one weapon: The Angel Bless. It can be first synthesized in Alexandria at the start of Disc 3.

Answer: Whale Zombie

A Yan teaches Quina Auto-Life, a Magic Vice teaches Magic Hammer, and an Ironite teaches Angel's Snack. Whale Zombies are quite rare. One of the only places you can find them is on the beach on the Lost Continent.

Answer: #3

The most powerful weapon in "Final Fantasy IX" is Steiner's 'Excalibur II', with 108 Attack Power. Zidane's 'Ultima Weapon' comes second, with 100. The 'Ragnarok' is Third, with 87. Fourth is Zidane's 'The Tower', with 86, and fifth is Amarant's 'Rune Claws' with 83.

Answer: True

He can, as long as he has 'Return Magic' equipped, and an opponent uses it on him. This is very useful against Adamantoises, as they use 'Thundara' and are weak against electricity.

Answer: Lani

For some reason, you see Lani jump off into the distance after you go through the kitchen. Regent Cid never goes to Madain Sari, and both Queen Brahne and Garnet's birth mother are dead, so they can't be there.

Answer: Flan Card

Hippaul has a sneaky habit of hiding his cards in the bell, thinking that no one will find them. On Disc 1, you can find an Ironite, Fang and Goblin card in the bell, as long as you play your cards right (sorry about the pun, it just had to be said!). On Disc 3, you'll receive a Ramuh and a Shiva Card. If you didn't get the first three cards on Disc 1, they'll drop down as well.

Answer: Kuja

Cid has been in nearly every "Final Fantasy" game to date, and he's almost always helping a bunch of lunatics in need of an airship. Hilda was a character in "Final Fantasy IV". Dagger has only been the name of a PERSON once, but it's been used as a weapon multiple times!

Answer: Ophiuchus

Once you have delivered 12 Stellazzio coins to Queen Stella, she'll complain, saying that there's still one more! She'll reluctantly hand the 12 Stellazzios back to you telling you to find her the last one. If you read the little excerpts on the backs of the coins, they'll give you not very subtle hints about where the last one is.

But I'm just going to tell you where it is so you don't have to search for it! If you go to Quan's Dwelling on Disc 4, the final Stellazzio coin is right underneath where you found the Scorpio coin earlier in the game!

Answer: You'll hear a piece of music from "Final Fantasy III"

You don't get the Excalibur, because you get given that by an old man in Daguerreo after you give him the 'Magical Fingertip'. You don't get given a 'Protect Ring', and the only way you can stop the mist is by defeating Kuja and Necron at the end of the game!

Answer: Orunitia

You only find this out if you have the guidebook or the manual to "Final Fantasy IX". It can also be found out on the internet if you know where to look.

Answer: Two

He has one brother and one sister. His brother is Kuja, who is eight years older than him. His sister is named Mikoto, who you find in Bran Bal at the end of Disc 3.

Answer: Eat and Can Not Eat

Quina's names are a play on words! Quina is quite possibly the strangest thing you'll ever find on a "Final Fantasy" game. It is sometimes described as a cross between a Clown and a Sumo Wrestler.

Answer: 6

They are: The Ultima Weapon Card, Excalibur II Card, Masamune Card, Tiger Racket Card, Save the Queen Card and Mythril Sword Card.

Apart from the Tiger Racket and Excalibur II, all of these weapons have made frequent appearances in "Final Fantasy" games. You'll find the Mythril Sword, Ultima Weapon and Masamune on "Final Fantasy VII"
The 'Save the Queen' is Quistis' ultimate weapon on "Final Fantasy VIII".

Answer: Use a Dead Pepper on the back of a Purple/Gold chocobo while in Quan's Dwelling

Remember, it's Quan's Dwelling, not Quale's! This can only be done on Disc 3 or 4. If you go to Quan's Dwelling, and onto the lookout point with the Grandfather clock, Zidane will notice the little bubbles of 'foam' down below. You'll be given the option to call Choco, and to use a Dead Pepper afterwards. If you do this, Choco will dive into the water, and return with a Treasure Chest. You will also receive the rare Reed Rose Card from this treasure chest.
If you dive into the water outside Quan's Dwelling, however, you will not get these items!

Answer: Kuja

Ultima is only used once in the entire game. After you 'defeat' Kuja in Terra, he'll enter Trance and strike down your party with Ultima. You are all left with 1 HP, and Kuja destroys Terra with his new found power, forgetting about you. Zidane and Garnet/Dagger now decide to evacuate all the Genomes before they escape themselves, while all of Terra crashes down around them! Ultima used again for defeating the entire party in Crystal World after fighting against Trance Kuja.

Answer: Zemzelett

The Zemzelett uses Telekinetic attacks on your party, and also attacks you with 'Rainbow wind'. Although it looks pretty, it can be quite a dangerous attack! If you successfully get Quina to eat it, he can learn White Wind (if you haven't already learned it from another bird already, like a Zuu or a Griffin).

Answer: Penance

Penance is the name of an extremely hard optional boss monster on "Final Fantasy X". All the rest are acquired by getting superior weapons throughout the game. 'Grand Lethal' is widely considered the most powerful attack in the game. It rarely does less than 9,999 HP damage, regardless of the opponent!

Answer: Ogre

You find the Ogre OUTSIDE the Desert Prison. All the rest of the enemies are found INSIDE. Ogres quite often attack you in two's. One will use 'Trouble Knife' on a character, and the other will use an ordinary attack, normally on the character that was put in Trouble. This can make for a pretty deadly combo of you're not prepared!

Answer: True

The only boss Quina can eat is the Earth Guardian. He can also eat the imitation crystal bosses in Memoria, but they aren't technically bosses, as you've already beaten the Chaos Guardians (The bosses that the crystal bosses resemble). Quina will learn the ability Earth Shake from eating the Earth Guardian (if you don't already have it).

Answer: 12

They are the original eight characters: Zidane, Garnet/Dagger, Steiner, Vivi, Eiko, Freya, Amarant and Quina. The other four characters you can use are (in order of most use): Marcus, Beatrix, Blank, and Cinna.
