Excalibur Ii !!!!
Hi !! I'm ThanhTung
This is Excalibur II FAQ First of all, this FAQ is solely for the purpose of acquiring the elusive Excalibur II Sword for Steiner in FF9, and assumed that you have completed the game already and mastered every nook and cranny of it. The goal is to reach the ! mark in "Room of Emptiness" in the final dungeon under 12 hours. Anything later and the ! mark will disappear. This sidequest will pit you against time and skills so you'll need to learn a couple of things before you start: a)You have to know the game very well at the tip of your fingers. You need to know clearly what to do next so you won't waste time remembering and wandering aimlessly. b)Skip ALL ATE events unless instructed. c)Skip ALL FMV movies. IF you use a PSX, open the disc-cover until the disc stops rotating and immediately close it back. For PS2 owners, eject the disc and close it back in. FMVs take up a lot of time and skippin them this way drastically reduces your clock-time. d)Before you buy equipment, always save your game and plan what you gonna buy and equip. Reset the game after that and rush through your purchase again. e)Try to have minimal encounters. Most areas are possible to have less than 3 encounters. If you do have an unnecessary encounter, escape using Zidane's 1st skill. If you felt there are way too many encounters while in a dungeon, reset by pressing L1/L2/R1/R2/Select/Start all at once and retry again. My trick to reduce encounters is to stop for a while after running a short distance. f) L1/L2/R1/R2/Select/Start. You're gonna use that a lot! g)Skip all dialogue very quickly by pressing the 'CONFIRM' button very rapidly. You'll have sore arms but it cuts down time. h)Save game often, especially before and after a dungeon/town. But do not save too much as it takes time. Try to set aside a few empty slots and not just use one slot for the whole game. With that said, I hope you have a lot of patience, endurance and commitment to get this Sword for Steiner. But this is NOT a guaranteed Guide and the stipulated time I've added in are general guides, a lot still depends on your personal game and how you choose to play it.
