Brothers together, or brothers apart?
In the world of balance, after Sabin and Edgar are reunited, you will travel to Figaro Castle a
second time. The story is
set to you taking both brothers. There is a flashback, and a scene between them in the throne room.
Ever wonder what would
happen if you didn't take them to Figaro together?
(*Note* this is not confirmed to be true in the GBA version, just the SNES version)
if you leave either brother behind, and continue with your quest, Sabin will become distant and
cold. If you choose a party
consisting of Edgar and not Sabin, he will appear, and ask why he cannot come too. You will also
lose your discount in the
castle, even if Edgar is in the head of your party.
Lifting the shield's curse
When you get Locke in the WOR, take him to Narshe and visit the man hiding in his house. He will hand over the Cursed Shield.
And believe me it is definitely cursed. It will tag you with almost every status effect in the game. The only way to lift
the curse is to fight 255 battles with it equipped.To negate the status ailments; equip the shield wearer with a ribbon. You
can then go somewhere like Solitary Island to have a lot of fast, easy fights . Once the curse is lifted, you will get the
Paladin Shield. Not only is this the best shield in the game, but you can also learn the powerful Ultima spell at a growth
rate of x1. Just in case you decided to make the Ragnarok into a sword.
As for the Cursed Ring ...despite the rumors circulating on the net, this ring's curse cannot
be broken. You will not get a Paladin Ring, or anything like that. However, you can learn Banish at a rate ofx5.
 Dinosaur Forest
There is a forest just north of the Veldt , in the World of Ruin. Inside the forest, you will encounter
Brachiosaur's and Tyrannosaurs.
Of the two, the Brachiosaur is the worst to face. He can sneeze you out of the fight, cast a plethora of nasty status effects
in a single turn, or wipe out your party with Ultima. But if you have the Ribbon, you can avoid
most of the status effects.
On a rare occasion he drops a Celestriad.
This reduces the MP of all spells to 1. Also with Locke in the party, he can steal a Ribbon.
Tyrannosaur's can either attack singly, or get you in a Pincer attack. The Back Guard does not
eliminate the Pincer either.
Their nastier spell is Meteor, which can wipe out a under-developed party. They can also wipe a
character with their bite
attack. Sometimes you can steal Reed Cloaks, and on occasion, they drop an Impartisan.
Both dinosaurs are worth a mother load of EXP, and with the Growth Egg, you will reach high levels
in a few hours. Tyrannosaur's
give 5AP, and Brachiosaur's give 10AP, making it fast and easy to learn those harder to get spells.

 The elusive Cactuars
If you want to gain quick AP and a ton of GP, head to the desert south of Meranda. Here you will
occasionally run into Cactuars . These elusive little critters have only 3 HP, but are almost impossible to strike. Equip any character with a Sniper Sight,
to ensure you hit it. Also using Sabin's Raging Fist, Edgar's drill, or even Setzer's Dice work
too.
If you can defeat these thorny pains, You will get 10 AP, and 10,000 GP! Not too bad huh?
Be careful if your levels are too low. You might initiate combat with the Gigantuar Esper. At low levels, you will become
toast in seconds!
