Final Fantasy 2 Pixel Remaster 100% Walkthrough - Altair & Fynn
Welcome to the Final Fantasy 2 Pixel Remaster 100% Walkthrough, here we will be guiding you in detail through the entire game while also making sure you get every chest, complete every puzzle, and obtain every Trophy!
We will also be sure to point out all missable chests and bestiary entries along the way so that you don’t have to do more than one playthrough.
The game starts out showing us Fynn Castle getting taken over by the Emperor of Palamecia and our main party running away to Altair.
There will be a short fight here that you can’t win.
When you wake up you will be in the Altair Hideout. After failing to convince Princess Hilda to let us join the Rebel Army, she will teach us the first Password in the game, Wild Rose (Passwords are special dialogue options that we can learn throughout the game that we can then use in conversations with other NPCs for various benefits).
As soon as you learn the Password Wild Rose, use it in the conversation with Minwu (the NPC standing next to the Princess) by pressing Ask > Wild Rose.
He will then tell us that our next objective should be to head to Fynn.
Missable Chest Warning!
Before leaving the Altair Hideout make sure to open the chest in the left side of the building, as eventually this chest will become missable if you advance the main story too far. This chest contains a Potion.
You can now exit the Hideout by going through the south door.
However, before leaving towards Fynn I highly recommend stopping by the Armor Shop and the Magic Shop.
It is important that at least one of your party members learns the Spell “Cure” as it will be very necessary to be able to heal your party.
Also if you are planning on using anyone as your “Black Mage” now would be a great time to buy some offensive Spells as well, this way you can start to get Proficiency with them as early as possible.
Journey To Fynn
Missable Location Warning!
Now that you are ready to head to Fynn, leave Altair and head to the North West. Shortly after leaving Altair you will come across a small village called Gatrea, there aren’t any chests or items of value here but it does have an Inn, some Shops and a Sanctuary in case you need to revive any of your party members.
Gatrea is technically a missable location so make sure you visit it at least once before you obtain the Ultima Tome later on.
So let’s continue towards Fynn, from Gatrea continue heading North West for a little while then head to the East to find Fynn & Fynn Castle.
Make sure you enter the town part of Fynn and not the Castle for now.
While you are in Fynn, make sure to not talk to any of the guards, as they will attack you.
Go to the north part of the town to get behind the fence, then walk around the outside of the town towards the right and then down to reach the bar.
Inside the bar, speak with the bartender and mention Wild Rose to him so that he moves out of the way allowing you to go down into the hidden passage behind where he was standing that leads to the basement.
In the basement of the bar you will find 3 chests in the only room there is, all 3 of them contain “Potions”.
(You will be able to see on the World Map that Fynn actually has 11 chests in total, but for now we can only open these 3, the other 8 can only be found later on in the story).
Talk to the wounded Prince in the bed and mention Wild Rose to him, this will lead to him giving you The Ring to take back to Princess Hilda.
Now that you have The Ring, return back to Altair and speak with Princess Hilda.
During the conversation select Key Items > Ring to show her the Ring you got from the dying prince.
When the word “Mythril” shows up in the conversation, select Learn > Mythril to learn this password.
As soon as you learn the “Mythril” password, ask it back at the princess and she will ask if you would like to go with Minwu to Salamand.
After she has said this, speak with Minwu, he will join the party and you will get the Canoe.
"Password: Wild Rose" Trophy for reaching this point in the main story.
Don’t leave the room yet, after Minwu joins the party, speak with Hilda again to learn another new password, “Dreadnought”.
After we have learnt the Dreadnought password, ask it back at the princess to then be able to learn yet ANOTHER password, “Airship”.
Now that you have learnt all 3 of these new passwords you are ready to leave Altair.
