Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls Cheats

While in the Snowcraft on the Snowplains, hold B and press A 22 times to unlock a game of memory. *After you complete a game, you will win gil and/or items depending on your performance.

Unlockable: Sound Test

Unlockable: Dungeons

Each time you defeat a fiend it will unlock a secret dungeon. There are four of them and they include boss battles from other FF games.

Unlock Slide Puzzle Mini-Game (FF1)

When playing FF1, after defeating the pirates and getting the ship, hold A and press B repeatedly while on the ship to play a slide puzzle game.

Unlockable: Toad Mini-Game

If someone in your party has the Toad spell and levels it up to level 16 - the snowcraft mini-game will change to the Toad mini-game. The difference is that you get better items/gil and if you can finish the mini-game with no misses, then you will get the almighty Masamune sword. You can also get other powerful items such as the Genji armor/gloves.

Hint: Kingdom Hearts

Not really anything special, a reference to Kingdom Hearts. On the 27th Floor of the Whisperwind Cove is a boy in "toy Town" (the place with all the houses, in and out) The character with blonde hair says, "I've Been having these weird thoughts lately..". Just like the Intro to Kingdom Hearts.

Hint: Map Screen

Press B + Select on the map screen to view the World Map. This shows your position and locations.

Hint: Pravoka Point of Peril

When Playing FFI, you can travel east and then north of Pravoka to a little pinnacle where you can fight monsters that are much harder to beat and aren't supposed to be found until later in the game. This little cheat/glitch thing was carried over from the original Final Fantasy.

Editor's Note: Save the game before you try this, or get wiped on the bottom of a Giant's butt.

Hint: Get Rat Tail Using Canoe

It's best you follow this hint if you've played the NES version or had at least one playthrough for FF1 on Dawn of Souls since known landmarks are used.

After defeating the Lich in the Earth Cave, the party can speak with the Circle of Sages in the town of Crescent Lake for a canoe; with it, the party can now cross river terrain.

Take the ship out of the Aldimeer (Aldi Sea) then north to the island where the Castle of Ordeal is. Enter the river terrain and then get on land to access the castle. Note that the enemies here are probably more powerful than low and mid-level parties can withstand, so come prepared.

Hint - Altair Point of Peril

Similar to the Pravoka enemy area in the first game, FF2 has a place where high-level monsters roam near a town early in the game, resulting in massive death (and XP gain).

From the game's starting point in Altair, head directly South (down) until you hit the very end of the peninsula. The end of the peninsula is 1x3 squares, and by walking on the peninsula, one will encounter very powerful enemies early on in the game.

Some of the monsters encountered on FFII's point of peril:

Black Flan
Red Mousse
Killer Mantis
Behemoth (VERY rare)
Cockatrice
Adamantoise

Please note that you should not take on these enemies until everyone in your party has at least 300 HP, and until one member of your party has got their Fire, Ice, and Thunder spells to at least level 4.

Fighting these enemies this early on in the game is an excellent way to earn gil (each battle typically yields around 700-1500 gil) or to bring up your party's stats (though brining up your party's stats might be tough if you can't survive one hit). Some handy spells to have while fighting these enemies are Protect, Shell, Blink, and Berserk when you have more powerful weapons, and of course the three basic elementals.

Hint - Easy Kill Abaddon The Locust Dude

When fighting Abaddon (aka Locust Man) equip the Buer soul as your guardian and use it as soon as the battle begins. If your Buer soul is leveled up enough (that is, if you have 9 Buer souls)the locusts will not be able to touch you and you can swing away at Abaddon with your sword until you slay him!

Easter Egg: Link is Dead

When in the town of Elfheim, if you go behind the sanctuary there are 3 gravestones, the one on the left has a message saying "Here Lies Link" which is the hero of the Zelda series.
