Call me a nube, but this is driving me insaine! I need remedies and I cant find a single place that has a store. Please tell me how to pull up the world map in ff9 and also, how do I use summons, I thought I just got one from that old guy who made me put together a story?

If you press Select it should bring a miniature map up in the corner. Press Select again and you'll get a big version. Here you can move a cursor around to see where there are towns in relation to you. Press Select once more to go back to normal.

To use summons you first need for Garnet or Eiko to learn them (they have different summons available to them). You learn a summon ability by equipping the accessory that teaches you that particular summon; the story quest given to you by Ramuh should have given you a Peridot. Equip Garnet with this as an accessory and she should be able to summon Ramuh in battle. Earn enough AP and she will learn that summon ability and won't need to keep the Peridot equipped to summon him.

I can assume from this that you have just recived a summon for Garnet, Ramuh correct?

You should be able (or have been able to) gather some remedies from Lindblum when you went there afterwards BUT if you didn't you can get some from the moggles and (1) worker from the Fossil Roo. If you missed that too you should be able to get some from the items store in Conde Pete or Black Mage Village.

The map, Yes Select is the way to go, the ammount of times you press it changes the different view you have on the map.

Summons are done by Garnet/Dagger (whatever you preference) and Eiko.
You need to equip the item (Periot) you were given to learn the Summon, only Dagger can learn that summon. Also, don;t worry too much because Dagger wll soon be getting some more gems to learn from.

Does this help you? ^^

OHH ok, that's how you equip them, thanx! ^_^

Sigh Crap. Well att your help worked until I got to the 3rd disk...which doesn't work. It freezes during the loading time right after Garnet gets off the boat in Alexandria and they are talking about making her queen. This is like the 3rd time I have borrowed ff9 from someone that doesn't work. DX

Take it to a games shop and have it cleaned. Or clean it yourself. Or spend the £20+ buying a new copy for yourself, which is a ridiculous price but still very worth the money.

Or you can PM the poster above for a copy, he is a very nice person.
