This FAQ is copyright 2000 to me. Don't copy or plagarise, it's naughty!

It is only appropiate that I make a real guide to get the most
controversial character in the game, Beatrix. The valkyrie
who's Steiner's sweetheart can now be yours, glitch free!

This method is no joke, as opposed to my "infamous" method on 
GameFAQs's FF9 messageboard which just satired FF6 and FF7's 
rumored characters and revivals.

You'll need a Gameshark, Pro Action Replay, etc. This works
so far only with the NTSC Japanese version.

This is best printed with Microsoft Word, period.


I. Getting Beatrix
------------------
- Enter the code 801F4736-0208 in your device
- Start your saved game
- When you appear, immediately save again
- Do not go to the menu screen nor get into a battle
- Turn off the Gameshark and reset (L1, L2, Start, Select)
- Go back into your saved game and into the party screen
- You should now have ALL nine slots filled, one for you-know-who


II. Mastering Beatrix
---------------------
- She is at Level 20, so start building up her levels
- She already has all her abilities and cannot learn more
- She has the Save-the-Queen permanately equippped
- Since she cannot use Support Ability, equip armor that has abilities in them
- She has two abilities with useful techniques and magic


III-A. Beatrix's Holy Sword Tech
--------------------------------
Thunder Sword - LIGHTNING-elemental sword attack
Stock Break - strong sword atack
Crime Hazard - Ultimate damage to all enemies
Shock - Ultimate damage to one enemy


III-B. Beatrix's Holy White Magic
---------------------------------
Cure 2 - Heals more HP
Life - Restores a dead ally without much HP
Life 2 - Restores a dead ally with full HP
Esuna - Removes any bad effects except ZOMBIE
Silence - Target cannot use magic
Reflect - Spells cast on target bounce to another target
Blind - Target cannot see and may miss when attacking
Holy - Level 3 HOLY-elemental damage to target


IV. Problems... Solutions?
--------------------------
- Her face doesn't appear on the LOAD GAME screen, harmless
- She cannot de-equip the Save-the-Queen
- She cannot use Support Ability
- She has no TRANCE or Trance Bar
- Using her to fight Eternal Darkness will freeze the game
