Introduction
Welcome to the beastiary completion guide! This guide contains a ordered list of all the monsters in Final Fantasy III including information about their possible locations and other useful notes. As a warning to first time FFIII players, some of the boss monsters are directly related to the plot and spoiling these encounters may hinder the wonderful experience of this game. Boss numbers are listed as #191, #196 - #226; avoid these numbers if potential spoilers are a concern.


Missable Monsters!!
Most of the monsters in Final Fantasy III can be encountered at any point in the game, however, there are some monsters that can never be encountered after certain events.

The first set of missable monsters can only be encountered with the Enterprise. Be sure to collect these monsters when you have the ship.
  • Floating Continent (inner sea) - #031 through #035
  • Floating Continent (outer sea) - #071 through #074
  • Main World (sea) - #112

The next set of missable monsters are located in Castle Hein. If the boss of this area is fought and defeated then you will not be able to return and collect these monsters without resetting the game.
  • Castle Hein - #066 through #070

The monsters located in Lake Dohr can also be missed. If the player leaves Lake Dohr after defeating Leviathan then the area will no longer be accessible. Make sure to get all of the monsters before exiting or teleporting.
  • Lake Dohr - #140 through #142

The last set of missable monsters can be found in Doga's Grotto. As with Lake Dohr, the area cannot be accessed once the player defeats the boss and leaves.
  • Doga's Grotto - #156 through #159

Checking the Bestiary
The list of monsters that have been currently encounted can be checked in two locations. The first is in the village Gysahl located around the eastern area of the Floating Continent. There is a secret room inside the inn near the rightmost wall. Talking to the old man inside the room will bring up the player's current bestiary. The second location can be accessed late in the game within the Invincible. Talking to the moogle on the right will also bring up the current bestiary.

Because of the Invincible's mobility benefits, I would recommend focusing on the missable monsters until the Invincible is acquired. This will reduce the amount of travel time wasted going to Gysahl to check which monsters have been encountered.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting!!

A great guide, many thanks for it ! But I notice a few differences / mistakes while following it.

16 Revenant : Got him on another level (2 if I 'member correctly)
19 Rust Bird : Not that rare, farmed there and I fought him a lot
46 Slime : Not in the Southeast, but he is in the Northwest (Search for 1 hour there for nothing :/)
103 Gargoyles : In the air, it's a rare encounter, needed a lot of time to get him
109 Flyer Mage : Not rare and got him on level 1 and 3, not only 3
125 Balor : Would say it's a rare beast, had some trouble to find him, got him on level 4

There is also 1 or 2 others encounters I got in another level of a dungeon, but nothing game changing.

" As with Lake Dohr, the area cannot be accessed once the player defeats the boss and leaves." Oh well, there goes my 100%
RPG Gamer Man 20 Jun, 2019 @ 8:21pm 
@PictoNNoMii..seems that way. I run into certain enemies and after running from them ,they did not show up in the bestiary..i am positive you need to defeat them once at least.
RPG Gamer Man 20 Jun, 2019 @ 8:20pm 
So you can only get the sea dragon after goldor's mansion? im about to go there..i wish there was a hint in the guide about this after a gold place..you don't even need to say it's actual name..just a hind would be good.
Psychanix 29 May, 2019 @ 12:32pm 
Great guide, a must have for any 100% playthrough.

Saying that, while I know you listed it according to the in-game Bestiary numbers, I feel you should include Sea Dragon #112 earlier in the guide, like just after Goldor's Manor. I missed it since I was following the guide as a where-to-go as well and had forgotten about the missables listed at the beginning. Either way, thank you for making this guide! :steamhappy:
PictoNoMii 22 May, 2019 @ 7:29pm 
Do I have to defeat an enemy to log it in my Bestiary, or do I just need to encounter it?
GloomEater 2 Mar, 2019 @ 7:42pm 
I encountered a Far Darrig on the first floor of the Tower of Owen whilst farming for a Fury.
🌙Ivalice 10 Dec, 2018 @ 7:20am 
lol I spent too many time leveling up on the Castle Hein and killed the boss. Now that I started using this guide I find out I'm missing 2 assholes of this place but got every other monster so far. Just great... -_- Is there a New Game + or something or do I really need to start the whole game again?

#109 Flyer Mage - I also found this enemy in Cave of the Circle room 1
