Intro Screen for Final Fantasy IX

The Cargo Room

The story begins with our main character, Zidane, in the Cargo Room of the Theater Ship, also known as the M.S. Prima Vista. Make your way into the middle of the room and press the XButton near the table to light up the candle and light the room. Check the wall on the left to find 47 gil and check the wall on the right to find a Potion.

You will be given an option to name the main character. The default name for the main character is “Zidane” and this guide will refer to him as such throughout this walkthrough - it is recommended that you keep his default name just to keep things easy.

Four of Zidane’s comrades will enter the room - Blank, Cinna and Marcus. A forth character with a large dragon mask will enter the room and force you and the rest of your party into the first battle of the game.

Boss Battle: Masked Man
Zidane and crew battling Baku in his Masked Man form

Level: 1
HP: 188

Each of your three party members are “thief class” characters so each of them are capable of stealing items. Make sure that you steal all three of the items that are available from the Masked Man before you defeat him.

This boss does barely any damage and is fairly easy to defeat. He will even miss with some of his attacks; tripping and falling on the ground instead of doing any actual damage.

Hit him with a few attacks to end the fight.

Steal:
Potion (common)
Wrist (uncommon)
Mage Masher (rare)

Drops:
· (Nothing)

A video of the battle is included below:

All four of your party members will meet up with Baku (the Masked Man revealed) in the next room and will go over the upcoming battle plans. The crew plan to raid the castle and kidnap Princess Garnet.
