Town of Baron
Before heading anywhere, go to the town areas surrounding Baron Castle to go to town.
The tool shop will be to the left of the town entrance. It's the building with a picture of a pot on it. Here, you will want to buy . You can buy items either one at a time, or you can buy them in bulk. Get three MaidensKisses (which cure Frog), three Eye Drops (which cure Blind) and five Antidotes (which cure Posion).
Talking around will tell you that the Village of Mist is beyond the cave to the northwest. The people at the inn will fear you, and the guy running the bar will just give you a free drink (which isn't part of your inventory). The inn has a sign saying "INN" on it.
The pot near the inn contains a free Potion (which will recover some HP, or hit points). There is a pot inside the inn between the beds and the front desk that also contain a Potion. To check the pots for Potions, just walk up to them and press A as if you were talking to another person. You'll get a message saying you found the Potion. Be sure to try this out in other areas throughout the game.
If you look at the swords on the wall that block the path to the treasure chests in the inn, you'll open a secret door in the wall. The chests contain an Eye Drop, a Tent and a Dwarf Bread. The Dwarf Bread zooms out and shows you a little more of what is around your current position in the overworld map.
2:11 - I forgot all about these commercials. Fun fact: some people told me I looked like lead singer Eric Violette back in the day. They weren't wrong, either.
There is another potion in the pot near the armor shop, which is the building with the pictures of the sword and the shield. Sadly, that store is locked.
Believe it or not, the town of Baron is different in the Super Famicom version compared to the Western version for Super Nintendo. The training room, which is below the Devil's Road in Japan, is in its own separate area in the town for the West. (This change was undone in the PlayStation 1 version worldwide.)
The Devil's Road (also known as the Serpent's Road) won't be working when you enter it. Had it been working, it would have instantly taken you to Mysidia, and if you use it, you will find out it is deactivated on the other side for obvious reasons. There will be a training area downstairs, and you can go down there to learn the controls for the battle system. Namingway will also be there at the side of the room, and if you talk to him, you can change the name of any of your current party members.
The door at the west end near the stairs is locked. Up the stairs is another house, and this is where Cid's daughter lives. Cid will be sleeping in the bed, but he will talk in his sleep about how he finished the new model engine if you talk to him.
One of the houses belongs to Rosa's mother. If you check the shelves, you can find an Ether. There will also be a MaidensKiss in a pot. Rosa's mother will be concerned about what you are doing, and pleads with you not to get Rosa involved in anything terrible.
There is a woman in a red dress on the north side, and if you talk to her, she takes her red dress off and dances. (The dress stays on in the Western version due to the rampant censorship.) You can walk into the water and go down the waterfalls afterwards. At the end, you can find a Tent and a Copper Hourglass that can cast Stop on all enemies in battle for a short time, and there are other version of the Hourglass that work for even longer. Hold on to them, as they can come in handy later.
The old woman standing in the grass near the trees leading to the eastern exit tells you that there is an underground waterway leading into the castle to the west of town. In case you still haven't interacted with that door, it's locked right now.
There is a hidden passage in the trees on the northern edge of the village, and if you find it and follow it, you'll be in some tall grass. You can find two Golden Needles and a Phoenix Down in the grass. The Golden Needles cure Stone (or Petrification), and the Phoenix Down revives an ally who has lost all their HP.
To the west is a forest with a Chcoobo Forest.
You can find Gysahl Greens in the tall grass, and if you use them in the northern-most part of the Chocobo Field, you can summon a Fat Chocobo who can store some of your items. You only have so much inventory space, so keeping your items with the Fat Chocobo is a good habit to get into. Be sure to get more Gysahl's Vegetables to summon the Fat Chocobo and get items in and out whenever you need to.
Talking to a white Chocobo will refill your HP, while talking to a yellow Chocobo will allow you to ride it. You'll be able to move a lot faster on a Chocobo and avoid monsters - which are encountered at random - as you make your way to the cave to the northwest. You won't be able to go into the cave with the Chocobo, however, so you will have to press A to dismount. The Chocobo will run away and head back to the forest, and you'll be on foot again.
Cave of Mist
The monsters in the Cave of Mist can also be encountered on the overworld near Baron.
In battle, you can attack, cast magic, perform special abilities that can heal allies or do some good damage to enemies. and use items.
Dark Wave allows enemies to do damage to all on-screen enemies in exchange for a little bit of his HP. The number of HP that is taken off Cecil is equal to 1/8 of Cecil's maximum HP (basically, take his maximum HP and divide by 8, and you'll see how much if takes off). Jump allows Kain to jump into the air for a little while and hit the enemy you pick for some major damage some time later. While he is in the air, attacks cannot affect him and he cannot be targeted by monsters until he comes back down.
The Goblins are pretty vanilla enemies and can be easily wiped out with Dark Wave whenever necessary. The Insectus can be wiped out in one shot. The Flying Eye are weak to Kain's spear, as are all flying enemies in this game. Flying enemies are also weak to projectile weapons, but you can use spears against them to get the same effect.
When you get to the bridge, a voice will tell you to turn back.
