255 Anything Glitch

The 255 Anything Glitch is a duo of glitches found in Final Fantasy IV, both of the same nature but performed differently. The first of these is performed with Cecil and the Avenger weapon, as well as being able to equip him with arrows and a bow. See the following steps in order to perform this glitch:


 * Have Cecil equipped with a bow and some arrows to begin with in the main menu. Have the arrows in Cecil's right hand and the bow in his left.
 * Have Cecil enter the Item Menu in battle, and have him de-equip his arrows, by going to the equip menu at the top of the item list, selecting the arrows, and then selecting a blank spot in your inventory. It's best to have a blank spot right at the top of the item list to make this go faster.
 * Next, switch the bow that Cecil is equipped with with the Avenger, and let Cecil kill off all of the enemies himself. After the battle, check the equip menu to see a weird symbol in his right hand (should read A2).
 * Unequip the Avenger and then equip whatever you want into his right hand, then unequip that weapon to end up with 255 of that weapon (it should read as A2 next to that weapon).

The second, and arguably harder, version of this glitch involves using anyone who can equip a bow, as well as the Berserk spell. See the steps below on how it works:


 * First, the character that will be performing this glitch must not be the one that is casting Berserk. Equip a bow in the character's weak hand and the arrows in their dominant hand.
 * The character with whom this glitch is being done with MUST have their turn immediately after the character that will use Berserk. To simplify this, it is best to either rearrange the party formation so that it works that way, or have only 2 characters alive. In the battle, have the spellcaster cast Berserk on the character with the bow and arrows, and then QUICKLY have the character with the bow and arrow enter the Item menu and unequip the arrows, and not exit the menu. This must be done before Berserk is cast as well.
 * Allow the Berserked character to finish the battle, then after battle, go to the equip menu to check for the wierd A2 symbol in their right hand, and perform the last step of the previous glitch.
