Introduction
Welcome to our amazing Final Fantasy III guide!
Only first/easiest appearance of Monsters will be listed in the guide; repeats might be mentioned but only for rare encounters.
The following achievements are missable:
Field Research- Professional - Completed 100% of the Bestiary entries.
Legendary Treasure Hunter - Collected treasure from 100% of the chests.
Item Detector - Obtained all hidden items.
Adventurous Wayfarer - Traveled to all the map locations.
And the following locations are time-limited or one-visit only:
The Living Woods
Hein Castle
Wrecked Ship
Doga's Grotto
Also there's a two missable hidden items at Saronia.
...but all this is covered in the walkthrough!
Hold Backspace to run.
Press Q to auto-play during battles.
Press Q to open the map and TAB to switch between locations. Chest progress can be also checked here.
Bestiary progress can be only checked from main menu: Extras → Bestiary.
There's two type of collectibles in this game:
Chests: referenced with []
Hidden Items: referenced with {}
Try to stick to a single job with one of the characters until reaching Job level 99 (White Mage for example) for the 'Management Laborer' achievement.
There's also an achievement for reaching level 50 with all characters, but that will probably come through natural progression.
Recommendations:
Have a healer in your party at all times. Our personal recommendation is going with the White Mage and then switch to the Devout.
More tips coming soon?

Kinda silly to sleep here when you can do it for free in the Invincible.
Anyway, once you're done with your purchases, head to northmost house of the town and push against the threes on the right side to reveal a secret passage.
Go through the passage and once you reach the waterfall, head immediately south.
You'll find an island with a large pillar. Go upstairs.
Interact with the four corners to find the following items: Demon Shield, Hi-Potion, Demon Mail, and another Hi-Potion. {54/60}
Backtrack to the waterfall and step on its right side to enter a secret room.

Not really a boss unless you're under-leveled. With my level 35 party I could take it down fairly quickly by auto-attacking.
After winning, you'll receive the Kiku-Ichimonji katana as reward. {55/60}
That's all the items for the town.
Backtrack to the town and enter the north cave.

From the entrance, go southwest and open the chest for Thorian Hammer. [243/367]
Head north back to the entrance and push towards the wall just to the right.

Here, go east and then down to reach a chest. Open it for Demon Main. [244/367]
Backtrack to the entrance of the passage: west and north at the 4-way split, then go through the upper/second split to the right and follow the path to find two chests.
Open both for Ashura and Kotetsu. [246/367]
Leave the cavern and the town.
Overworld
Exit the area by jumping over the mountains and head to the eastern continent (refer to the screenshot below for the exact location).

This boss is ridiculously weak and counts with only two attacks: physical hits and Quake. Trust me, you don't need tips for this battle; simply spam your best attacks and the battle will be over within a few turns.
After winning, exit the location by either fighting your way out or by using an item or spell.

This boss consists of two attacks: physical attacks and Zantetsuken, both fairly devastating.
My party was conformed by two dragons (who did the most damage), a White Mage (who did all the healing; basically cast Curaja, Curaga, and Cura all turns), and a Geomancer which wasn't needed at all. It still was an easy fight for my level 41 party, so if you have three half-decent attackers, you should be good.
After winning, you'll receive the summon magic 'Catastro'!
Leave the dungeon.
Overworld
Find and board the Invincible, then make your way back to the Floating continent (southwestern of the current map).
Once there, go to the western area, then northwest from the waterfall and boost to the other side.
After boosting, disembark immediately. Don't turn around or you'll have to boost to this place again.
Paddle your way to the shadow in the lake to enter a dungeon.

This boss is ironically easier than Odin, so attack with three and heal with one, and the battle will be over before you even notice. You can also cast Lightning-based spells for extra damage.
After the battle, you'll be rewarded with the summon magic 'Leviath'!
Now you can either fight your way out or cast Teleport/use Ottershroom to exit the dungeon.

This boss isn't as powerful as we remember. It does some unimpressive physical damage and casts Mega Flare which is even weaker than the group spells from the two previous bosses. Basically abuse Wind-based spells such as Aeroga and heal you party when needed, and that is. There's not much else to add.
After winning, you'll be rewarded with the summon magic 'Bahamur'!
You can now teach all summons to one of your party members to unlock:

Two weak bosses actually. See this battle as if you were fighting against a Black and a White Mages, respectively. Doga most powerful attack is Flare while Unei's is Holy, both dealing around 1k damage to a single party member... but there's not much else besides that. At this point my Dragoon was already dealing over 2k damage and my summoner could even go over 3k with the help of Bahamut, so as you can guess, the battles didn't last long.
One thing, though: Make sure to keep your party health high as there's no breaks between the fights.
After winning, a sad scene will play and you'll receive the following two Key Items: Eureka and Syrcus keys!
Verify that you have all collectibles and bestiary entries, then leave the dungeon by any means.
Chocobo Woods

Our next objective will be visiting all Chocobo Woods in the game as they're required for the 'Adventurous Wayfarer' achievement. Entering and exiting should be more than enough for them to count.

After visiting all Chocobo Woods, triple check that you have all chests on all locations (press Q while at the world map or Q → TAB while in a town/dungeon) and then board the Invincible.

I don't know if it was just me but Aeon seems to be extremely rare and only showed up on the plains area. If you have issues finding it, save that entry for the small chunk between the Ancient's Cave and the next dungeon. I'll remind you when the time comes.

If you were unlucky with finding the Aeon outside the entrance, you can try here by walking left and right on the non-forest area. It's a pretty small spot, but seems to work for some people.
Once ready, head inside the Crystal Tower.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land: Part I
Crystal Tower - 1F
What an epic soundtrack! All the following dungeons will have the most epic soundtrack of the game.
Anyway, head north and through the door.
Go north an interact with the mirror. Choose 'Eureka Key'.
Interact with the mirror to get warped to Eureka.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land - B1

Ninja is a monster-in-a-box.
Oceanus and Acheron start appearing from B5 onwards.
The first room has two chests on each side.
Left side: Bomb Arm and Heavenly Wrath. [323/367]
Right side: Arctic Wind and Elixir. [325/367]
Go south and down the stairs.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land - B2
Head south to a 4-way split, then west and go through the door.
Open the chest for Bomb Arm. [326/367]
Exit the room and backtrack to the split.
Head east and go through the door.
Open the chests for Arctic Wind, Heavenly Wrath, and Phoenix Down. [329/367]
Backtrack to the 4-way split once again and go a bit south until spotting a crack on the wall. Push towards it to reveal a secret passage to a chest.
Open the chest for Monsters! (Ninja) → Ribbon. [330/367]
Exit the secret passage and continue south until reaching the left stairs. Head down.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land - B3
Go all the way south for a chest containing Shuriken. [331/367]
Backtrack to the previous floor.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land - B2
Go north from the stairs, then east, then north to the 4-way split.
From here, go east past the room we entered earlier, then south to a different set of stairs. Head down.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land - B3
Walk a bit south, then west at the split for a chest containing an Elixir. [332/367]
Go east and follow the path to another split. Go north to find a chest with Shuriken. [333/367]
Continue west and open the chest north of the stairs for a Phoenix Down. [334/367]
Take the stairs leading down.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land - B4
Follow the only possible way until reaching a platform with a circular thing on the middle.
Heal up and quick-save, then interact with the circular thing to trigger a boss fight.
Amon IDHPATKDEFAGISTRSTAINTSPIEVAM.DEFM.EVAWEAK.RESIST.GILEXP21423000137464141503799201640NoneDeath, Silence, Sleep, Paralyze, Blind, Poison, Petrify, Confuse, Mini, Toad, Gradual Petrification, Earth, Wind, Light, Dark Blade, Water, Absorbs2035020000
This boss is kinda resistant to damage and can change its weakness as will with Barrier Shift (just like Hein), but there nothing much to it. It's just another unimpressive boss. I personally set the White Mage to heal while my other three party members just attacked. Pretty boring battle imho.
After defeating the boss, you'll be rewarded with the Moonring Blade! {51/?}
Continue south and down the stairs.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land: Part II
Eureka, The Forbidden Land - B5
Oceanus and Acheron start showing up from here.
Head a bit south until a 4-way split, then go west for a chest containing a Phoenix Down. [335/367]
Backtrack to the split and go east this time.
Heal up and quick-save, then interact with the katanas on the platform to trigger a boss fight.
Kunoichi IDHPATKDEFAGISTRSTAINTSPIEVAM.DEFM.EVAWEAK.RESIST.GILEXP21519000150464641303999231742NoneDeath, Silence, Sleep, Paralyze, Blind, Poison, Petrify, Confuse, Mini, Toad, Gradual Petrification, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Wind, Light, Dark Blade, Water, Absorbs1450021200
Another uninteresting boss fight. The only attack you have to be careful with is Aeroga.
After defeating the boss, you'll be rewarded with the Masamune! {57/60}
Go west to the 4-way split and follow the path south.
Open the chest next to the stairs for a Phoenix Down. [336/367]
Head down the stairs.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land - B6
From the entrance, go east and follow the linear path to a sword in a stone.
Heal up and quick-save, then interact with the sword to trigger a boss fight.
General IDHPATKDEFAGISTRSTAINTSPIEVAM.DEFM.EVAWEAK.RESIST.GILEXP21625000165464550396070221025NoneDeath, Silence, Sleep, Paralyze, Blind, Poison, Petrify, Confuse, Mini, Toad, Gradual Petrification, Earth, Wind, Light, Dark Blade, Water, Absorbs1560022400
This boss is more annoying that difficult. It features attacks such as Drain, which will do no more than extending the battle, and Death, which seems to have a high fail rate. It also attacks physically for some unimpressive damage and casts Bio for more unimpressive damage.
After defeating the boss, you'll be rewarded with the Excalibur! {58/60}
Make your way back to the entrance and head west through several invisible, yet linear paths.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land - B7
Lastly, you'll reach the last fork with two weapons on each side.
As always, heal up and quick-save, then interact with the left weapon.
Scylla IDHPATKDEFAGISTRSTAINTSPIEVAM.DEFM.EVAWEAK.RESIST.GILEXP21825000160463949384067191324NoneDeath, Silence, Sleep, Paralyze, Blind, Poison, Petrify, Confuse, Mini, Toad, Gradual Petrification, Earth, Wind, Light, Dark Blade, Water, Absorbs1620023200
This boss features some nasty high-level spells, which can deal up to 2k damage to a single party member. These include Holy, Flare, and Curaga. There's no many tips to give you here besides the usual ones: keep your team healed at all times and attack with all you have!
You'll be rewarded with the Elder Staff upon winning, as well as the Ninja and Sage jobs! {59/60}
Okay. Ninja is such an amazing job. My undisputed favorite. At this point I switched both my attackers to Ninjas since the difference between them is abysmal.
Eureka, The Forbidden Land: Part III
You probably won't have to heal since the bosses of this dungeon will heal you after each battle, and the next weapon is just next to the previous one. Quick-saving is still a good idea, though.
Also switching to Ninja is great idea. Really. Trust me.
Interact with the weapon on the right to trigger the last boss fight for this dungeon.
Guardian IDHPATKDEFAGISTRSTAINTSPIEVAM.DEFM.EVAWEAK.RESIST.GILEXP21723000163463852394763191022NoneDeath, Silence, Sleep, Paralyze, Blind, Poison, Petrify, Confuse, Mini, Toad, Gradual Petrification, Earth, Wind, Light, Dark Blade, Water, Absorbs1650023600
If you switched to Ninja like I recommended you, this battle will be pretty much a joke. Throw shurikens to deal some serious damage (over 6000 in my case with level 49 characters) and then end the battle with regular attacks.
You'll be reward with the Ragnarok upon winning. {60/60}
Forbidden Weapons Obtained all weapons sealed in Eureka.
You'll also should obtain the achievement for all Hidden Items after winning one more battle or changing location:
Item Detector Obtained all hidden items.
Now go through the door.
Head all the way north to find two Sages and open all four chests for Elixir, Elixir, Shuriken, and Shuriken. [340/367]
The Sages sell some powerful, yet expensive magic and summons.

For the love of god, purchase Arise. That's the only thing I can recommend you from here. You can also get Holy if you feel like using your White Mage/Devout to attack enemies, but don't waste too much money as there's a better way to spend it.
Once done with your purchases, interact with the north button to open a secret passage.
Go all the way west and interact with a third sage for my favorite shop.

Well, spend all your money un Shurikens. Do I have to explain why? (this is actually up to you, but Shurikens are extremely OP and can make the final boss battle a literal joke).
Now either fight your way back to the Crystal Tower, or cast Teleport/use Ottershroom if you don't feel like wasting any extra time.

This boss is ironically easier than the Red Dragon we fought earlier, because we did fight all missable creatures before entering here, right?
After winning, watch the scenes and get ready for... ANOTHER BATTLE!?
Cloud of Darkness IDHPATKDEFAGISTRSTAINTSPIEVAM.DEFM.EVAWEAK.RESIST.GILEXP????????????????????????????????????????????????
Luckily, this battle is scripted. You can't win. Feel free to kill your party members to fast forward to the next scenes.

Xande's Clone is a monster-in-a-box.
Hydra and Twin Dragon show up near the end.
You'll spawn at the center of the World of Darkness. We'll call this location HUB, for orientation purposes.
From the starting location, northwest and go up the stairs.
World of Darkness - Northwest
Go all the way north to reveal a secret path, then head through the west passage and follow it completely to reach a chest. Open it for Monsters! (Xande's Clone) → Ribbon. [364/367]

Pretty average boss with mediocre attacks. During my battle it kept spamming Lighting attacks that were pretty much nulled with Curaga. Keep your team healed at all times and attack with everything you have (except Shurikens ofc, we're saving those for the last boss).
After winning, interact with the Dark Crystal to trigger a scene.
Feel free to interact with the Dark Crystal again to fully heal.
Make your way back to the HUB.
World of Darkness - HUB
Since we're done with the northwest area, it's time to conquer the lower section.
Head southwest and take the stairs leading down.
World of Darkness - Southwest
Head all the way south to reach a 'dead end' which is actually a hidden passage, then all the way west, then south and finally east for a chest. Open it for Monsters! (Xande's Clone) → Ribbon. [365/367]
Go back west, then north until the split, then east until you can go south, then south.
Head up the stairs.

Echidna controls several powerful spells such as Tornado, Drain, and all the -aga variants. Physical attacks don't do much, so have a dedicated healer while the rest of your party is attacking and you're good to go. The battle is kinda long, though.
After winning, interact with the Dark Crystal to trigger a scene.
Feel free to interact with the Dark Crystal again to fully heal.
Make your way back to the HUB.

Halfway there. Woohoo!
Go northeast and up the stairs.

All this boss does is physical attacks. They're kinda strong, but if you keep healing your party all turns, it should never take any ally down...

Feel free to interact with the Dark Crystal again to fully heal.
Make your way back to the HUB (note that there's another shortcut near the southwest exit).
World of Darkness - HUB

This boss is a little harder than our previous encounters for the sole reason that it usually casts Meteor, which deals massive amounts of damage to the whole party (1.5k to my party at least), but that's nothing that a good Curaga/Curaja can't fix, right?
After winning, interact with the Dark Crystal to trigger a scene.
Feel free to interact with the Dark Crystal again to fully heal.
Make your way back to the HUB.

Finally... time to finish what we've started.

Heal up and quick-save, then go all the way north and interact with the Cloud of Darkness to trigger a scene.
