Easy Walse Castle Basement Looting Glitch

This works only on the Gameboy Advance version of Final Fantasy V. After so many steps, you are automatically thrust into battle. However, if you quicksave, exit and continue, the step counter is reset. If you take only 5 steps, a few more if you’re feeling risky, save and load, you can get all the treasures and get out without encountering a single Jackanapes. Like this, you don’t have to run if you are going for the Brave Blade and you do not have to encounter the Jackanapes on your first visit to the castle.

No forced runs from Chicken Knife

The weapon Chicken Knife has a “special” ability to force the user to run away from battle every now and then. But, there is a way to trick the game into NOT activating this effect while still using this powerful weapon.

1. You must be a Ninja, Thief with Dual-Wield, OR Freelancer with Dual-Wield.
2. Equip the weapon Twin Lance in your right hand. (Twin Lance is a Ninja/Thief exclusive weapon)
3. Equip the weapon Chicken Knife in your left hand.

Because Twin Lance has the inherent ability to attack twice, you will be attacking a total of three times with this setup. However, the game is tricked into thinking that all the attacks have already been performed, so it does NOT check the Chicken Knife’s special ability when it is the third attack. Remember, Twin Lance must be in your RIGHT hand, not left hand, or this will not work.

Expert Missions

To unlock Expert Missions, beat the game once and save. When you start again, you will have a star next to your name

Judge Missions Side-Quest

To be able to do the judge missions, you must beat all 300 standard missions and head over to Bervenia Palace to see a quick scene and start the judge missions.

Secret Characters

With the exception of Ezel, you must complete the game once in order to unlock the hidden missions.

Unlock the end of game credits

Unlock the Semi-Secret characters

These characters are semi-secret, and you get them by having different mission items. Note that the secret characters MIGHT join your clan, but it isn’t guaranteed.

Duplicate Items and Units

To do this trick, you must have two final fantasy tactics advance cartridges and two gameboy advances (or gba sp).

Link the two gba’s and have one person (you) go into any kind of battle. When it’s your turn to move, hit B to cancel the menu and press start to open up the sub menu. Now put Save Quit and it’ll bring you back to the title. Now load your original data and NOT your battle save. After loading it, now both you and your friends, press start to go into the menu and select the ”Link” option. Trade any items or units with your friends and after doing so, reset your game but don’t save before doing it otherwise it’ll erase your battle save. Now after reseting, load your battle save and you should still be durring the battle. Either flee or defeat your foes and check your stuff. If done correctly, you should still have the same item or unit and your friend should have a copy of that item or unit. This will come in handy when trading secret characters or rare items.

Get 2 Sharas

Make sure that you don’t do the S.O.S. mission. Complete the game and then get Shara. Now, play the S.O.S. mission. When you get into battle, you will notice that Ritz and Shara will be fighting some monsters. You can also use the ‘other’ Shara in your clan. And thus, there are 2 Sharas on the battlefield.

Easy infinite Angel Rings

1. Accept the mission ‘Lutia Mop-up’
2. One of the enemies will have an Angel Ring. Steal it.
3. Retreat from the battle. You will still have the Angel Ring you stole, but the mission can still be taken, and another Angel Ring can be stolen.
4. Accept the mission when it pops up again, and repeat.

Easy level trick-Smile

Get two moogles and have them learn the ability Smile from the Juggler class (learn thief A-abilities). Then have them change to the job you want them to level up as. Have the two use Smile on eachother over and over. Once they’re a really high level have other units use some action on them to gain massive amounts of experience easy, thereby leveling up your entire clan too!

Infinate Money/Ribbons

After you complete the game and get Shara, take her ribbon, then get rid of her, and when you get her back she will have the ribbon equiped again. Sell for 20000, then reapeat. this way you can get as many ribbons, money, and seventh-heavens you want.
