I used to play FF IX as a kid without access to the internet and guides. I remember missing Steiner's Climhazzard ability, because only Excalibur and Excalibur 2 teach this skill. Eventually I just started visiting all cities on the map and talking to everybody. Imagine my surprised face when I realised it was this random old guy from Daguerreo and this random key item that I got from the auction!
My first playthrough was 68 hours, I got all the other ultimate weapons then I looked up Steiner's and I was like 💀Sorry guy, no ultimate weapon for you.... But it's an amazing game, I couldn't help put hours and hours into it for my first time playing it.
There are two kinds of blue chocobos, the light blue which allows you to cross rivers and walk in shallow waters, it's your chocobo's first upgrade. And then there's the dark blue one which allows you to cross the ocean, the third upgrade. Just keep on doing the chocographs minigames between the forest and the lagoon (southern island on the world map) until it says that you've found all the ones you could with your current upgrade and go find the treasures. Eventually you'll upgrade your chocobo from yellow > light blue > red > dark blue > gold and be able to travel anywhere with it.

Hot and Cold points are insanely good there AND its where you fight Ozma, frequently considered one of, if not THE hardest super boss in FF history
I only use mace of Zeus to learn Domesday then I always use octagon rod cause it absorbs water and wind and raises water damage I love water attack animation
What about Tiger Racket? It is a weapon both Dagger and Eiko share, has more attack than their 'normal' Ultimate weapons, and has a spell you can only learn from it, Dispel.
There are indeed weapons that are amazing and teach the characters amazing skills/spells. But the ones that are officially classified as their "ultimate weapons" are on this list only.
Tiger’s Racket(s) will be found along the Line of Chocograph Treasures. They’re definitely in one of those boxes! Same with Amarant’s Dragon Claw! The only Weapon that Teaches “No Mercy”.
If FF9 Remake happen, then the devs should change the Excalibur 2 quest to be slightly different, like getting the top rank from Gilgamesh hunts instead of the 12 hrs Memoria run 😁.
That would be so much better indeed. Memoria under 12h is such a tedious grind and to me really takes the fun out of it. Although I guess it's a challenge if you've already beaten the game.
I heard one rumor. Rule to spawn exc2 is "your ingame timer must be under 12:00:00 hours". So if you played more than 99:59:59 - your timer will drop down to 00:00 and Exc2 will be able to obtain again.
@@Zephyroths The annoying thing is that apparently they will be 3 separate games and all your stats/items/gear you won't be able to transfer. So it seems a bit pointless to me... 😕
@@aldrinmercado3475 I don't remember 100%, but I think the only skills that come to mind to get that easily are Thievery, Frog Drop and Dragon Crest... It's a good suggestion though, but I'm not sure if I'll do it as there are already so many videos about that on the internet 🙂
@@ApplemaxxMusicMedia me too. FF is my all time favourite series. 7 got me into it, but 9 is amazing (all of them are really... apart from 10-2 and 13 😅)

@@DarkEchoFF my point is make it interesting which they do with some. like for Vivi you couldve had an elder in BMV saying youre not strong enough yet, then when you learn all spells with Vivi you return to this guy and he gives you the ultimate staff, not hey its in this random corner which you may chance upon
@@DarkEchoFFyip like in FF7 the original finding cait sites ultimate megaphone very early in the game in a random locker that you have no clue about so you leave it as you haven’t met cait yet, then you have to remember that it’s their when you come back. Or was it’s Barrett’s gun on the stairs that could be walked past or skipped entirely depending on how you proceeded
@ Yes, I liked the megaphone find early on as it's a nice bit of foreshadowing to Cait Sith. For Barrett's weapon you need to have him in the party when you climb the Junon Cannon (I think, it's been a while).
This 4 minute video has more useful information than the $25 strategy guide I bought for FF9 when the game released.

Thanks mate, that's helped me greatly as I'm going after ozma
Great to hear. If you want to see tricks specifically for Ozma, I've done a walkthrough series as well that covers everything 🙂
Thank you! You are the only one who told me when I could find it!
Glad I was able to help you 🙂
Best advice for quina ultima weapon is when u see a marsh collect frogs as u proceed with the story.
True, you'll get pretty far if you pop in from time to time for sure.
I didn't even know you could get a weapon from doing the frog catching mini game.
It was always the first ultimate weapon I collected as I enjoyed the mini game.
Zidanes right... Steiner needs to be babysat. Goattam that's a lot of work.
Yes, but really worth it 😉
All other zidanes location videos said NOTHING about visiting terra first ! Made me question my sanity lol
I spent like 40 mins digging around the shimmering isles before it was destroyed lol
Damn cool that steiner can climhazzard & shock
Unofficially he learnt it from Beatrix, it was transferred over when they banged.
Still say unless you are a fanatic 100%er Excalibur 2 is not worth getting, just get ragnarok and take your time enjoying the game.
Exactly. I've never gone for it myself either for that reason.
Welp, I never getting Steiner’s Excalibur2. I spent 12 hours mostly playing Tetra Master. :/
Haha exactly. It is literally the one thing I never went for myself. :p

How do you get the ocean ability? I’ve been stuck I think it’s just having the blue chocobo right?
It is. I can't remember exactly anymore, but I think it's with a Chocograph. I've made a video on those as well, if you're interested.
There are two kinds of blue chocobos, the light blue which allows you to cross rivers and walk in shallow waters, it's your chocobo's first upgrade. And then there's the dark blue one which allows you to cross the ocean, the third upgrade.

@@samosval3000 I heard that as well, however I've not tried to get it that way though 😅
Seeing what they did on FF7 Remake, imagine going through 3 different games for it
@@Zephyroths The annoying thing is that apparently they will be 3 separate games and all your stats/items/gear you won't be able to transfer.
So it seems a bit pointless to me... 😕
I would appreciate a
"how to obtain skillz" guide.
Like what items learn skills.
Where to get them.
There's so many weapons and armour that teach different skills. That would be an insanely long video probably...
@@DarkEchoFF maybe you could do a series for individual characters to lighten the load. Just a suggestion. Great video
@@TruMaverick thanks. Not likely I'll make a video on that though. However I am tempted to make it.... 😁
@@DarkEchoFF maybe you can make a video about each of the characters strongest skills.. or those who has a potential to deal 9999 for each characters

Which is a better weapon for Garnet in terms of magic? Whale Whisker or Magic Racket??
I could never get either because I never knew about chocobo hot/cold until the very end of the game
magic WW, mix both Tiger Racket...
