Final Fantasy 2 Pixel Remaster 100% Walkthrough - Poft & Salamand

May 13

Now that we have obtained the canoe it is time to leave Altair once again and set off towards Poft!

From Altair head north to cross the small bridge, just after crossing the bridge you will reach a lake, keep walking into the water to automatically use the canoe to travel across the lake.

Use the canoe to row east until you reach the port town called Paloom.

This town is optional and doesn’t have any chests, but if you speak to the NPC by the entrance you can pay him to take you directly to Poft so you don’t have to walk the rest of the way.

If you decide to pay him, you can then find the ship by exit Paloom and you will see the boat just outside, interact with the ship to get taken all the way to Poft.

If you don’t want to pay for the boat, you can simply walk to Poft by heading north from Paloom and following the coastline on your right until you get there.

It isn’t that far away and this early in the game it could be a good idea to walk to have a few more battles along the way.

Once you arrive in Poft you have a similar choice, you can either speak with Cid and his assistant in the bar (NPCs at the right hand side table, easy to spot) to pay them to take you to Salamand by airship, or again you can just walk there.

It is honestly not worth the price they charge you to fly there, this is mainly an option just in case you don’t know where to find Salamand. But as you can see on the map below, Salamand is just a short walk to the north-west from Poft.

If for whatever reason you do want to take the airship, just talk to Cid, mention the password “Airship” to him, then talk to his assistant on his right to pay for the trip.

Once you have paid, go outside to find the airship waiting for you.

Once you arrive in Salamand, I would recommend stopping by the Magic Shop to buy at least one Life Tome and Teleport Tome and teach them to any of your party members.
There is also some better equipment at the Weapon Shop & Armor Shop that will be useful if you have enough spare Gil to buy them.

When you feel prepared, head to the house at the north-east part of town with a woman standing outside, go inside and talk to Josef and ask him about Mythril, he will mention that he will help you out if you rescue the people being held at Semitt Falls.
