All Missable things to ease your mind...

It's a mess but so is this game. lol

Introduction

FF2 is a big game with a bunch of stuff - most of it you can get at any time. There are some things, however, like bestiary mobs and treasure chests that go away forever. With keeping spoilers as minimal as possible, I'll be detailing when to stop and make sure you get everything.

The Missables In order

Ok, here we go in order of encounter:

Below, I'll outline all the keywords so that you don't miss any but first, dungeons and monsters:
Missable Enemies List and Missable Items
Phorusracos - Outside the dreanought before you board it
Buccaneer - when you get to control a boat on water
Kill fish - same
Sea snake - same
Hell diver - same
Land ray - East of the desert/in the desert at any time before the tower
Antliion - in and around the desert at any time before the tower

Warning ** Completing the Mysidian Tower dungeon changes the World map spawns. Before doing that, be sure to have the above enemies killed. Ok? Ok. **

Additionally, make sure you have the chest from Altair before then too. Its hard to miss.**

Once you have access to the wyvern go to Paul's house at the SW of Fynn and ask him about the Cyclone. go into the secret room near his bed to pick up 8 chests you otherwise would miss forever.

Palamedica Castle is not only a one time dungeon, but also home to several enemies that are gone forever once it's gone. While there, hit these guys up:
Skull
Eyemoeba
Black knight
stone Golem
General

Missable Dungeons list
Dreadnought - get all the chests before leaving or it's GG.
Leviathan - 5 chests inside, get them all before beating the boss.
Cyclone - Get all the chests before leaving.
Palamecia Castle: get all 17 chests.

Jade passage/Pandaemonium end the game - but you can leave at any time by casting teleport. Do this to wrap up any non-missable items, such as monsters and chests still chilling in the game.
Completing the game puts you outside the final dungeon but saves your progress - so you don't have to be afraid of clearing the game.


Keywords:
Start of the game, Hilda grants Wild Rose

Returning from Fynn/Scott: Hilda grants mythril, dreadnought and airship. Cid can also grant airship in paloom or w/e city he's in.

After the bafsk Cave incident, Go to poft and ask cid about sunfire.

Next, talk to hilda about sunfire and then the king - and ask him about the godesses bell.

After dreadnought, talk to gordon on the throne to learn about Dragoons and wyverns.

Before Retaking Castle Fynn, Make sure you visit the forward Camp
It appears when you rescue Hilda in the Colosseum and disappears when you take back Fynn.

After retaking the castle of Fynnigan, Ask hilda about Mysidia, Masks, and ekmet teloess.

Ask Gordon in castle fynn about ultima

Make sure to talk to paul about Ekmet Teloess to get to the sewers dungeon and get all the castle fynn chests at this time.

After the cyclone ending Scene, meet with hilda and learn Palamecia.

After Palamecia Castle, ask hilda about Jade passage.

(as an added bonus, fly to castle deis and ask the woman about dragoons to get exaclibur - not a keyword but awesome sauce)

@Feneck so proud of you for being a legend and not quitting or taking the easy way out. Whether its a game or in life - thats true character. kick ass my friend.

I went back and played it again the other night. 17ish hours later and at 4:15am in the morning I finally got it lol Just followed a guide this time, and powered myself up quickly using swap. Didn't train the spells enough to beat the boss at the end lol but I didn't need to this time.

For the next games I'll be checking if there's a 'missable' guide. Lesson learnt

Yeah I could have just download a finished save file and skipped this playthrough - but I ain't no cheat.

[Dhregin]

@joxyvery honestly this game is begging you to have a bad time 100%'ing it. Its pretty frustrating - which is why I made a guide lol because I WAS FRUSTRATED lol

[Joxyver]

@Feneck - Sounds like someone had a bad time.

[FenecK]

Stupid fucking game. I was so careful and paid as much attention as I could. Missed Paul's cyclone trigger for the Flynn chests. Shit game. Waste of time.
