This Seeking Tech guide will explain how you can get the maximum rewards during the banquet quest in Final Fantasy VI. Use the following video as a reference:
For the first part of the quest, you need to talk to the 24 soldiers within the Imperial Palace.
Start by talking to the 4 soldiers standing in the hallway of the first floor when you get out of the throne room. You can then exit to the south.
The next 3 are located in the courtyard. You will have to fight one of them.
Afterwards, head back inside and then go to the left door. You then need to climb the steps and then enter the door on the second floor.
You will find 6 soldiers in this bunker, including an easily missable one that is sleeping on a bed. You will need to fight the soldier on the bottom right.
Once you are done, head north to find another soldier inside a toilet. You also need to fight this one.
Next, exit back out and then go to the top door on the left side of the first floor. You will find another soldier in the staircase leading to the rooftop.
When you get to the rooftop, talk to the 5 soldiers here before entering the top door.
On the fifth floor, you will find another soldier that you need to fight.
Once you defeated the soldier, exit the fifth floor and then enter the east door on the rooftop. Go down the stairs to reach the first floor again. Here, you need to head to the middle door on the right side.
You will find 2 more soldiers in this room.
Next, take the southwest exit to find the final soldier in another toilet.
Once you talked to all the soldiers, return to the throne room and enter the right door to start the banquet.
During the dinner, you have to make the following dialogue choices in order:
- Leave him in jail.
- That was inexcusable.
- Celes is one of us!
- Why did you start the war.
- I still have a few things to ask.
- Why do you want peace now.
- I still have a few things to ask.
- Why did we have to talk to your men.
- Okay let’s talk about the Espers.
- They have gone a bit too far…
- Why did you start the war.
- Take a break.
During your break, you have to talk to one of the soldiers on the opposite side of the table to initiate a fight. You need to defeat this group in less than two minutes.
Once the fight is over, head back to your side of the table to continue the conversation with the following dialogue choices:
- That your war is truly over.
- Yes.
Once the banquet ends, head south. One of the soldiers will come up to you and give you rewards based on your actions. If you followed this tutorial, then you should get all five of the following rewards:
- All Imperial Troops withdrawn from South Figaro.
- All Imperial Troops withdrawn from Doma.
- Armory unlocked in Imperial Observation Post
- Tintinnabulum
- Ward Bangle
