Level One Ozma challenge!

Yes! Even though I have work to be doing at the moment, I stupidly decided to attempt this!

I will post some screens of it when I get a little further.

Wish me luck!

Yarr! Ye'll catch that white devil, cap'n!

Seriously though, good luck. Kudos to you for even trying it. I'll give you some more if you do it.

Wow, good luck. You're crazy.

I did this challenge a few years back. It is a very fun challenge. Some of the most fun I've ever had with Final Fantasy.

Here is my thread from back then:

Final Fantasy IX Level One Ozma Challenge (This whole thread may contain spoilers)

It's full of strategies that got me through, so it may be helpful to check out, especially if you get stuck.

Thanks a lot Necro! Would it be considered cheating if I used a gamefaqs guide for this? I especially needed it against Sealion, which was a bitch.
Would like to know straight up, because im not sure I would have the patience without using the guide I cried aloud with mirth and merriment.
The guide hasnt exactly made it easy so far, I have no idea how I would have figured out how to kill Sealion without it though.

Also, is it bad that I didnt get 100 in the sword fighting mini game? Will I be able to get enough gil for later on without it?

There are some things you'd miss without a guide, like stealing the Needle Fork from the Zaghnol in Lindblum, which is crucial. I'd definitely use one (and will, when I do this challenge, someday).

Cheers Kawaii for the help.
Im at Lindblum now and just bought my equipment. Necro your tip about the 99 Wrists and Steepled Hats was brilliant! Thanks! About to do the Festival.

Did it long ago as well, though I don't think I ever made a thread about it. Low-level challenges really are awesome (except in FF8). But in any case, yes you must absolutely not forget to steal the Needle Fork! I'm not completely sure who it was, but I think it was Necro who accidently forgot to steal it and ended up having to do everything all over again just because of that. So... absolutely make sure you steal it.

...and once you DO have it, prepare for a pure hell trying to stone all of the Black Mages in that cavern, whatever its name was. >_>
