    Default Have any of you managed to steal the following items?

    Mythril Sword from Beatrix #1
    Fairy Flute from Hilgigars
    Demon Mail from Tantarian

    Holy Lance from Ark
    Grand Armor from Nova Dragon


    These items are notoriously hard to steal, due to their 1/256 chance of success. The bolded ones are the only ones I managed to steal, and Grand Armor was probably due to the Master Thief ability.

    Which of these items have you managed to steal?

    I have stolen all of them but the flute is the most difficult item to steal.

    I specifically remember stealing Holy Lance from Ark during my level one challenge. Took seventeen tries, though!

    I got the Fairy Flute from Hill Gigas, but it was pretty maddening the first time, since I didn't know there were a handful of items with atrociously low steal rates. I couldn't understand why it was so difficult.

    I have stolen all except the Fairy Flute, but only the Mythril Sword without Master Thief, if I remember correctly.

    I've never gotten Fairy Flute. I tried and tried until I just couldn't try no more.

    I think I managed all of them at some point or another. Fairy Flute is a bit iffy though.

    Wow, I must have been really lucky. I've only played through it once but I got the Fairy Flute, the Demon Mail, and the Holy Lance.

    I got all of those except for the fairy flute b/c I got bored after 20 mins and decided I didn't care since I could get it later. It doesn't help you don't have all of the steal abilities yet when you fight the golem =/ I got all of the items there w/o missing a steal except once or twice most of the time since I always have the +steal chance equipped the second I get it.

    I honestly can't remember but the flute and Hill Gigas thing sounds really familiar, so perhaps yes?

    All of them, but the Flute is a bitch to get. All four of my characters Tranced over a dozen times fighting Hilgigas. It was a freaking joke, but also kinda cool seeing all of your characters in Trance form at the same time.

    AND BEING ABLE TO DO NOTHING THROUGH FEAR OF KILLING THE GIGAS.

    Got the Flute and that's it. After the battle I was like, "Never. Again."

    I get them all on every playthrough because im obsessed with doing and getting everything as early as possible on this game

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.

    Out of those I've only gotten the flute. I was determined to get it, so I just spent forever and I eventually got it. If I had known the bad odds I might not have started, but after having spent so much time trying to get the flute, I just couldn't throw it all away, so I continued trying to steal until I got it.

    Got 'em all at least once, but typically ignore the harder ones. I wouldn't put the Holy Lance in the same mind-numbing league as Beatrix' sword and such, though.
