Wizard's Climber/Hints

Hint 1 - All About Combat!
You can only use each skill a limited number of times on each stage or floor. For most skills, you can raise the number of times they can be used by leveling them up. If Celes is untrained, her movements will be clumsy. That's admittedly cute, but you should train her in Combat Tactics. After that, she`ll make much better decisions in battle. You should also prohibit her from using skills that you don't want her to use. In particular, Flash Step, NulIify, and Aegis are a constant, large drain on mana, and so should be used judiciously. Think before using them. Also, compatability between skills and actions is important. If Celes starts a ranged attack, but the enemy draws close, it`ll miss. And if she starts casting a strong short range spell, but the enemy moves away... Review your skills and carefully select the right ones for each battle. Finally, don't expect to be able to just rush through and beat every single tower and dungeon all at once. You should expect to challenge them several times as you fight your way to the top. It's important to be brave enough to withdraw when you`re in danger. Discretion is the better part of valor, especially because significant time passes if Celes is knocked out.

Hint 2 - Filling the CG Gallery!
There are some events that can be hard to trigger, so here`s some clues. First and foremost... start over! After seeing certain endings, play throogh the game again. You may find new things. And don`t forget to just hang out! The months, week, and season have a major effect on what happens when you do that. Those events are determined by the date, and don't change, so perhaps you should take notes when you find something special. As for Celes`s sex scenes... The time of year is very important. Spring is March to May, Summer is June to August. Fall is September to November. Winter is December to February. Well, there are also scenes that don't depend on the season. Furthermore... Sex with Elle and Viola depends on successfully winning certain tournaments and conquering certain towers. Some events will also require one or more of Celes's skills to be at a certain level, so train her well. Besides that... You should try fancying up Celes's room. After fighting a rare monster, you might trigger a special reward as well.

Hint 3 - Feng Shui Your Life!
Just owning furniture doesn't help. You've got to put it in Celes's room. Celes will gain extra points in her skills during training. It may not seem like a lot, but it really adds up. Remember, enough pebbles become a mountain. If you can afford better furniture, you should definitely buy some.

Hint 4 - Game Modes!
There are six game modes in total. Normal Mode - Apprentice Training Mode - Novice Trial Mode - Adept Skill Mode - Wizard Glory Mode - Virtuoso Final Mode - Archmage When you achieve certain conditions, the next mode will unlock. Different modes determine how much is available to Celes at the start of the game, such as part time jobs, and having already met and befriended certain characters. Furthermore, certain events are locked if you`re not playing at an advanced enough mode. It's highly recommended you climb up the mode ladder. For those who can't unlock Trial Mode... You've got to go after Elle! If you're unable to meet her, you need to study more magic! After that, master whatever towers or dungeons you have before you. To unlock Skill Mode, you`ll need to win over Viola. Before you can get close to Viola, you'll need an intimate relationship with Elle. Make sure you visit Elie a lot if you want to see Viola. To unlock Glory Mode, you`ll need to befriend a lot of people. It'd be good to take specific skills and perform certain actions that facilitate that. For unlocking Final Mode, you'll need to win at Coudures. You may have won that already, but you might find a new challenge waiting for you. Oh, and you need to unlock them in order. Fulfilling the conditions for Glory Mode doesn't help if you're still on Training Mode. That`s it! No more hints!
