Hidden Summons

[Rinoa4ever]

Just wondered if anyone has ever found all the hidden summons. I know where to get them all but they are a pain to get. I've gotten Goblin which is the easiest. I got Mind Flayer which took quite a few Sirens!! I just can't seem to get Cockatrice (fought over 999 of them!) or Bomb. I am determined to get all of them in the GBA version.
:confused:

I got the Imp summon in the Baron Desert while I had the twins and Yang in my team in FF2 SNES.

I got the Cockatrice summon at Mt. Hobbes during my first time going thereon FFIV Advance.

I've never gotten the Bomb or Mind Flayer summon.

I could think of a thousand things I'd rather do than run around getting into random encounters for days on end in a futile attempt to snag some items that are actually pretty useless. If I want them, I just hack them into my inventory. That gets me all the satisfaction with none of the time wasted.

Last night I got the Mind Flayer Summon while doing Rydia's Trial, It didn't seem to have any effect when I used it. I tried for the Goblin one too, fighting the Summoners in the Land of Summons who alway's summon Goblins. I killed around 60 but got no GS. I do have 5 Adamant Armors though. :D

Doesnt Mind Flayer do damage?

My memory is probably flawed, as this was ages ago when I hacked them into my inventory. But I think it did 1200-2000+ damage and it probably stuns them too.

In FFIV Advance, on my new file, I obtained Goblin at the very start of the game, while wandering levelling Kain and Cecil. (I know that any levelling at the start of the game is near pointless, but I like doing these things)

(I know that any levelling at the start of the game is near pointless, but I like doing these things)Levelling Up Cecil at the start of the game is very usefull, as when he changes to a Paladin his lv goes back to 1 but he keeps his Stats and HP. I always lv him up outside Mysidia fighting Zu's with his Deathbringer equiped.

Anytime I needed to do some leveling I fought monsters with the rare drops (often running from the non-rare-drop enemies in those areas), and while it generally only took me a few dozen tries versus an enemy to get a rare weapon/armor drop, the summon drops are ridiculously rare...at least in the PS Chronicles version.

I only managed to get the Imp/Goblin summon. I've fought several hundred each of Mindflayers, Cockatrice/RockBaby (very likely over a thousand of these, not sure), Grenade/Balloon without getting the summon drops. Rare is fine, but almost impossible to get unless you waste a month of your life is really stoooopid.

[Crossblades]

There were times that I wanted to get them, but like Kishi said, they're useless in battle. So I rather be doing something else in the game

[f f freak]

I got the Cockatrice summon at Mt. hobs and it works wonders for Rydia. It's just a cheaper version of Break which is very useful.

Yeah. Vey true. I use it on enemies with high HP and it makes random encounters so much more easier. Also I think the Cockatrice Summon has a better success rate than the Break Spell.

[Paul]

although they are useless, a weird part of me wants them very badly for completions sake. i feel like my FF4 game still isn't complete as long as rydia doesn't have these summons!!!

but really, getting them is a joke and i'm quite angry at square about it. i've fought well over 999 goblins and never got the item drop, so i haven't even bothered with the others.

... bastards.

[Ashley Schovitz]

Imp does no more than 1HP it's useless as for the others I've never gotten them.

You'll probably have a 1/10 chance (based on my experiences) of getting any of the summoning items on your first playthrough.

What the summoning items do is they teach Rydia to summon a creature she normally wouldn't be able to summon. They're usually cheap MP wise.

[abrojtm]
