Any% (GBA) - Mixed Red/Black Monk Route

**DISCLAIMER/WARNING:**

This is not a first attempt/beginner-friendly guide.

These notes were written under the assumption that one is already familiar with the Any% Monk route. This is **NOT** intended to be a step-by-step guide.

**PDF Notes viewed in Google Drive:** https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OD-FwKShOv2lpQvmyWknrQ1_MgsZ7rxf/view

**ABOUT THE NOTES:**
Last Updated: July 8, 2020

This is a revised Monk Route which uses 1 Red Mage and 1 Black Mage, instead of 2 Red Mages. The Black Mage stands out as your primary magic damage dealer, dealing significantly greater AoE damage to random encounters, as well as having the option to use Scourge on Tiamat 1 for a potential quick-kill.

This latest revision includes a new equipment route using 1 Mythril Glove/1 Protect Ring, instead of 4 Protect Rings. This saves 48,000 Gil and offers a lot of flexibility if you end up with extra money, but relies on the hidden Magic Defense stat to guard against Status Ailments until Ribbons are obtained (and there is still some risk afterward).

Battles you can, and cannot run from

FF1 has some monsters that, despite your best efforts, you just cannot get away from. This section will detail the monsters that are inescapable in the game.

The format will read as follows. First it will be the monster name as it appears in each translation of each platform, then where you will encounter them, and how many of them you can expect to see in the battle. Then any additional notes, if they apply.

Labyrinth of Time for All Bosses and Full Bestiary

Note: Most of this information will be coming from the Labyrinth of Time Guide at gamefaqs:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/psp/937909-final-fantasy/faqs/61397

However, several of the solutions or puzzles will be condensed down for easier reading.

For most of the puzzles in the Labyrinth, despite the ability seal away multiple commands or stats, you'll generally only need to seal 1 or 2 for each. Do NOT EVER seal Fight + Item¤, Magic (White) + Item¤, Dash + Flee, or Fight + Magic (White)¤! Make sure you seal what you feel will give you enough time to unlock the BLUE SEAL.

Magic, White Magic, and Black Magic are mutually exclusive!
Item, recovery items, and attack items are mutually exclusive!

¤: They can be sealed if you know your puzzle and your threat level. However, it still isn't advised.

Despite the Labyrinth of Time circling around "RNGesus," much of it is predetermined, or has aspects that are predetermined. Each puzzle will always have the same abilities and stats to seal away, which makes determining which puzzle you get very easy. The ones with an asterisk will denote the recommend command/ability/stats to seal.

Faeries' Frolic
Tablet: SW at the first fork to find the tablet. A fairy will appear and do a dance, and then leave the screen. Five fairies will now appear, and you must pick the fairy that did the original dance.
Exit: Continue right out of the puzzle area, then north.

Faeries' Farce
Tablet: NW at the first fork to reach the tablet. Go west to the upper left room and talk to the fairy:
Upper-left or lower-right -- top-left chest
Second from the left -- bottom-center chest
Not center chest of bottom row -- center-left chest
Not in top or bottom row -- center-right chest
Exit: At the chests, go south, then SE at the fork.

Neat and Tidy
Tablet: East at the first fork, then south to reach the tablet. You have to push 8 blocks around the room to fill 8 holes at the top of the puzzle area. There are robots scattered around that will destroy any block that has been moved at least once, but they will not attack. Try to get the far-left and bottom blocks done first, since they are the most-easily destroyed.
Exit: Backtrack north from the tablet. Go east at each fork.

The Guardian



Path of Light
Tablet: Go east at every fork. If you've played Final Fantasy 6, you are familiar with this puzzle concept. A beam of light will go through the maze, and you must follow its steps. Failure means the light may take a new path, so pay attention.
Exit: At the puzzle's southern exit, head in the general western direction.

Labyrinth of Darkness
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/0cs79urzqdoc875/LoT%20-%20Labyrinth%20of%20Darkness.png

Scavenger Hunt
Tablet: South at first fork, SW, E, and then N. The tablet will tell you a light is buried a number of steps away from your current position. Move exactly that number of steps, then press confirm to dig. If you found where the light is buried, it will be revealed. If not, another message will say it is a number of steps away from your current position. Occasionally a monster will fall if you did not dig up the light. Fight or run, it's up to you. Repeat the process until you find the light.
Exit: At the tablet, keep going west.

March of Souls
Tablet: Go south and enter the west<->east corridor. Go south fourth from the right, then west at the fork. Speak with the hooded figure. At this point, one of five sets of souls will appear, you just need to identify which.
Broom, Broom, Witch, Broom, Elf, Broom, Bat, Broom, Broom, Fairy
Dragon, Fairy, Pirate, Dancer, Mermaid, Bat, Broom, Elf, Dwarf, Beaver - 
Dwarf, Broom, Pirate, Mermaid, Dancer, Fairy, Elf, Bat, Beaver, Dragon
Dwarf, Beaver, Pirate, Beaver, Mermaid, Fairy, Beaver, Dragon, Beaver, Beaver
Dancer, Dragon, Dwarf, Pirate, Bat, Fairy, Broom, Beaver, Elf, Mermaid
Now you will be asked three questions to determine the order and position of a soul in the set. Answer correctly to proceed.
Exit: Backtrack to the west<->east corridor, and go south on the second from left, then west and then south.

The Bat Cave
Tablet: East at the first fork, then north at the second. A number of bats will appear in the puzzle area, and the hooded figure is at the end. You'll be asked one of three questions:
How many still bats there are, as in how many bats that are not moving.
How many moving bats there are, as in how many bats are moving around randomly.
How many bats there are. This is the easy one, as its just the total number of bats in the puzzle area.

Bat-a-Bing!
Tablet: North at the first fork.

Trial by Fire
Tablet: Go NE at the first fork, then south.

Fire Drill
Tablet: West, then east at the first fork, then north.

Specter Inspector
Tablet: Go north at the first two forks

Beat the Heat
Tablet: North at the first fork

Thunder Alley
Tablet: South at the first fork, then you should see it to the east.

Mechanical Madness
Tablet: Go south. There's a Speed Plus chest to the west, if you're interested. Otherwise go east.

Stone Trap
Tablet: Go west at the fork.

Flower Sale
Tablet: Go east or west, then south, then west or east (depending on which east/west you went the first time), then south.

Breakout
Tablet: East at the first two forks, then north, east, then south.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/5ozib12zedf5pxj/LoT%20-%20Breakout.png

Mirror-Image
Tablet: 

Marching Orders
Tablet: Eastern exit through the first small room, the hug the northern wall to go east, south through the left side, hug the wall to go south again. If you've played through Final Fantasy 7, you should be somewhat familiar with what goes on here, except it's been simplified. When the whistle sounds, the troops will move a number of steps. You are to move with the troops, but not too far! One extra step, or if you're too slow and it means failure. THERE IS NO INDICATOR OF WHEN THE TROOPS WILL STOP. You must pay careful attention! The troops will move to the east wall, turn around, then all the way to the west wall.
Exit: NW corner of the puzzle room and follow the path.

Twin Statues
Tablet: North at the first fork, and south at the second fork. There are four pairs of statues and two robots placed randomly in the puzzle area. You are to make each pair of statue face each other. You can manipulate the statues by pushing them one block the direction you're facing, and turning them 90 degrees. If you push a statue into a place you cannot proceed, or are otherwise unable to solve the puzzle, you must speak with a robot to reset the puzzle. All four pairs of statues will be reset.
Exit: Back at the tablet, go north and then east.

Note for Note
Tablet: Follow the trail of colored note blocks on the floor. Now begins 3 levels of memory. Notes will be in a specific sequence, and you must step on each note block in that same sequence and talk to the hooded figure to proceed. If you get a sequence wrong, you only have to restart the current sequence, and not the whole puzzle over again.
Exit: Backtrack through until the first set of note blocks on the floor, then proceed east. You'll see two semi-circle areas, proceed east through them, and south through two more, then finally west.

The Path to Peace
Tablet: East at the first fork. There are three chests at the second fork, going north, containing a Speed Plus, Elixir, and Golden Apple. Otherwise head east again.

Slay or Be Slain
Welp, you drew Dragon Puzzle. RIP run.
Tablet: Go east and then south. The hooded figure will spawn several dragons with various features:
No horns, 2-horned, 4-horned, short-tail, long-tail, small-winged, and big-winged.
There are three sets of dragons you have to kill, and in specific amounts. MAKE SURE TO WRITE DOWN WHAT THE HOODED FIGURE SAYS! If you speak to the hooded figure at all without the correct amount of dragons slain, you fail the puzzle and have to do everything over again!
Exit: At the tablet, go north and then west. South at the next two forks, then SW at the following two forks. SE, then east, and finally south.

Labyrinth of Trials
Tablet: West at the first two forks.



Trick Statues
Tablet: East at the first fork, and south at the second. Three sets of statues occupy the puzzle area, with several monsters representing them also spawning. One dragon statue is in the top left corner, a bat statue in the top right corner, and a human statue in the bottom center. You must push the three scattered statues to face their counterparts to remove the statues, and the monsters they represent. If a monster touches you, it will engage in battle. You can run if you choose, as it will disappear either way. A statue cannot be pushed if something is obstructing it. If you should push a statue into a wall and cannot proceed, you must speak with the robot to reset the puzzle. This will reset everything to their original positions.
Exit: Backtrack to the tablet, then head west and then south at the next two forks.

Traveling Salesman
Tablet: South at the first fork, then east at the next two. Eight figures will appear and head south. Follow them and speak with the hooded figure. He will give you either 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 gil. You must buy flowers from the figures you saw previously, and spend EXACTLY the amount of gil you are given.
If you are given 500 gil, do not buy from the one offering for 100.
If you are given 1000 gil, do not buy from the one offering for 130.
If you are given 1500 gil, do not buy from the one offering for 300.
If you are given 2000 gil, do not buy from the one offering for 60.
If you speak to other figures, they will change into Revenants and attack you. You can run from them, as they will disappear either way. Once you have spent the exact amount of gil, return to the hooded figure.
Exit: At the tablet, go west, and south at the next two forks. Go east at the final two forks.
