Edge cannot only steal from regular enemies (Imps, Dark Imps, Eagles, etc.), but he can also steal from bosses (Zeromus, etc.) and story-driven battled enemies (K.Eblan, etc.). However, there are certain enemies that Edge cannot access because Edge joins the party rather late into the game. This means that most of the enemies in the Tower of Zot cannot be stolen from since the Tower of Zot is only accessible at the end of the first half of the game. Also, there are some story-driven battled enemies that cannot be accessed. O------------O | Steal Tips | O------------O A: If you've played FF IV quite a bit, you've probably noticed that most enemies are the spitting image of others, except they have different colors and are more powerful/weaker. These families of enemies often share the same steal item. For instance, Alert, Last Arm, and Searcher all have the same steal item (Alert). While there are exceptions, this is rather neat to know, and could save you time when trying to search for a nearby enemy. B: Although I haven't tested this fully yet, it does seem that Edge's character level can increase the chances of stealing an item. Case in point: a LV.50 Edge could practically never steal from most of the enemies in the Lunar Subterrane. I raised him to LV.70, and he can steal with much more ease than before (though it is still difficult to steal from enemies in that area compared to other enemies). It could be that a certain parameter (Agility) might affect the success rate of stealing. C: Edge can steal as many times from the same enemy in battle. It roughly takes an hour or so to steal about 100 items from the same enemy, excluding most of the enemies in Lunar Subterrane. A great way to rack up steal items is to kill off all of the other party members and keep Edge alive. You won't have to hassle with parrying all the time, and it makes stealing a lot more fun. Don't KO all your other characters if you're fighting a tougher enemy though--you might want to keep Cecil (for his Cover command) or Rosa (for her Cure spells) in case Edge's HP drops low. D: Note that most of the enemies located in the Lunar Subterrane and Cave Bahamut are extremely tough to steal from. Don't give up; you'll eventually be successful if you're persistent. _______________________________________________________________________________ II E n e m y L i s t _______________________________________________________________________________ O------------O | How To Use | O------------O You can use this FAQ for both, finding out an enemy's steal item, and finding out where an enemy is located. If a regular enemy cannot be accessed, it will still be noted. Why? Because this is also a complete regular enemy listing as well! Note that the bosses and story-driven battled enemies lists are exceptions and will not include enemies that Edge can never access. For an easier time searching for a particular monster, I've taken the liberty of separating enemies into their own groups. There are four different groupings: Regular Enemies, Developers' Room Enemies, Bosses, and Story-Driven Battled Enemies. All enemies are listed in alphabetical order. Any added notes will be listed next to the enemy's location (for instance, some enemies may be easier to find on certain floors of certain dungeons). And, now, on with the list!
