FF TACTICS SECTRET GUIDE

If you hadn't heard it yet, it is possible to get Cloud to join

your party during Chapter Four. The following information is mostly
from an article by Joe Chan (wchan@sn.no) published in Playstation
Gamer (http://home.sn.no/~wchan), and has been verified by me.

Thanks to Somsak Sriprayoonsakul, Sean Camanyag and Bloops for

a lot of corrections about this.

1.- Go to Zerutenia castle (��%�'�E�>_%) and talk to the barman. Ask about
all topics and one of them (I don't remember which one it was :) )
should open a path to a nearby island. There a red dot will appear :
the temple of Nerubeska (�I�%�U�1�r"A�A). It will not activate yet.
2.- Go to the trade city of Zargidos (E€ox�O_O�-�r���1). Aerith will
appear and sell you a flower. I think the second choice is to buy it.
3.- Go to the industrial city of Gorg (‘-1c�O_O�'-�o) with Mustadio
(�.�1�"�€�o�Ý) in your party. He and Basrodio (�D�1��€�o�Ý) will
discover a ball-shaped machine.
4.- Go to the mining town of Gorurand (A 1U�O_O�'�%�,�›��). Enter the
bar and choose the sub-quest whose max number of days is 6. After
completing it, a new sub-quest with the same name but with a 2 by
it should appear, do this one also. Lastly, talk to the barman
and ask him about the last topic listed.
5.- Go to the royal capital Ruzaria (yY�O�%��^�>). After an event,
Beiouf (�U� ��Y�O) will ask to join your party. Choose the second
option to allow him to do so.
6.- Go back to Gorurand. There will be a series of battles in snowy
terrain. At the end, you should protect the Holy Dragon and she
should join you. You will receive one Zodiac Stone.
7.- Go back to Gorg. Basrodio and Mustadio will activate the machine
and it will turn into a robot, which will join you. They will also
discover another strange-looking machine.
8.- Go back to Nerubeska. The red dot will activate and you will fight
against another robot. You will receive another Zodiac Stone and the
Holy Dragon will turn into the dragooner, Rerze.
9.- Go back to Gorg again and you will activate the strange machine with
the stone. Cloud will be summoned, but he will not be interested
in you and he will run away
10.-Go back to Zargidos and after an event, you will have to protect
Cloud (who is unarmed) from the gang of thugs that attacked Aerith.
After you win the combat, Cloud will join your party.
11.-Go to the active volcano of Berubenia (�U�%�U�E�>3SyD_3) and keep
going back and forth until you are attacked. Get someone who is
equipped with the Item User's "Item Find" movement ability and have
him/her climb to the highest point in the screen, a rock needle.
There you should find the Materia Blade. Once Cloud equips it, he
will be able to use his innate special ability, "Limit".
 IMPORTANT : It seems that some of these events (well, at least
step 10) won't happen until the main story has reached a certain
point (in that case, until Ramza fights his brother Daisdarg), so
if you are stuck there try advancing the plot some more.
Note that Cloud can join your party even just before the last
series of battles (and I suspect the whole process can be done at
the very end as well). If you do so, however, you should save your
game in a different slot every time you are allowed to save between
a series of battles, because one of these leads to the end and you
can't get out of it (and henceforth get Cloud).

Well, that's all. I think that you must keep Mustadio, and later
Beiouf and the Holy Dragon, alive and in your party while you are following
these steps. I don't know if you can get Cloud without some of these
characters (eg. if you don't allow Mustadio to join you, he theoretically
should be able to find the machines), as I haven't tried it.

There is another optional quest you can do in chapter four. Go to

Uoojiris (E€ox�O_O�Y�c-�,�^�1), the most southern town on the map
and a little animation will take place where you go into the bar.
Then a path will appear to a red dot in an island. That is the Deep
Dungeon.

It is a underground dungeon in which there is no light. You can't

see the floor until someone dies and leaves a crystal. Also, the only
way to proceed to new floors is by finding the exit before finishing
all the enemies. It is on a different place in each level and
unfortunatelly it isn't marked in any way, even with the walls at max
illumination. So you just have to put one enemy to sleep or something
and search for it. The enemies in the dungeon are very numerous and
usually at a level much higher than you.

The good news are that once you find the exit and succed in the
battle, you will be transported back to the main map and from then on
you may access that floor directly, so you can take your time navigating
through all the floors. There seem to be many special weapons lying
around in the floors, so I reccomend you equip all your party members
with the "Item Finding" movement ability.

The last level, "End", contains a type of zodiac beast, and

his 6 demon helpers. For some reason, you also have a demon as a
guest that will join you after the battle.

Ignacio's note - That Zodiac Beast, Serpentarius, is able to use

the most powerful summon spell in the game, "Zodiac". Your own
summoners can learn it if they are hit by it and live. See section 5
for details.
