Bone Village Explained!
Terence Fergusson:
Success! Thanks to lasyan's script dumper, I've pieced together how Bone Village digging works. So, without further ado, here's the details.
NOTE: I will be posting this on the GameFAQs message board, since it *is* a useful bit of information for gamers.
First off, there are 8 spots that are pre-determined and located around the village. These spots are numbered, and here are their exact locations (GameFAQs will only get the descriptive versions).
1: (-319, 608, 326): Top floor, right-side of smoke plume, Cloud's body half covered by the smoke, Cloud's head touching the tent
2: (368, 634, 327): Top floor, between the two black marks on the right-hand area
3: (-108, 81, -48): Bottom floor, *JUST* east of the tent door, right next to the piece of wood sticking out next to the door.
4: (26, 132, -40): Bottom floor, center of the dirt X to the east of the tent door.
5: (-61, -113, -110): Bottom floor, between the airplane and the skeleton, with Cloud's head touching the tip of the airplane's nose.
6: (21, 513, 328): Top floor, Cloud's foot barely touching the top-right corner of the burnt out campfire.
7: (-227, 500, 328): Top floor, halfway between the smoke plume and the campfire, near the southern edge of the area.
8: (-223, -252, -105): Bottom floor, due south of where you start, a little NE of the edge of the leaves.
These spots never change. Now, when you search for treasure, one of these spots will be chosen randomly. What you search for helps determine which spot is chosen:
Lunar Harp: Spot 1
Good Treasure: 80/256 chance each of Spots 2 and 3; 96/256 chance of Spot 4
Normal Treasure: 60/256 chance each of Spots 5, 6 and 7; 76/256 chance of Spot 8
This is the spot that the diggers will face when the bomb explodes. However, you don't have to dig there. Providing you're close enough to any of the listed spots, you'll be able to get the results of that spot. For instance, you can dig for Lunar Harp but still dig up Spot 4 quite easily.
Now, here's what's hidden under each of the spots:
Spot 1: Lunar Harp (if you haven't dug it up yet) or Nothing.
Good Treasure Spots:
Spot 2: Buntline (if you haven't dug it up yet), Phoenix Materia (if you're on Disc 3, you've already found the Buntline and have never collected the Phoenix Materia) or Nothing.
Spot 3: Megalixir (if you haven't dug it up yet), Bahamut ZERO Materia (if you're on Disc 3, you've already found the Megalixir and have never collected the Bahamut ZERO Materia... but you only have a 10/256 chance of getting it each time you try) or Nothing.
Spot 4: Mop (if you haven't dug it up yet), W-Item Materia (if you're on Disc 3, you've already found the Mop and have never collected the W-Item Materia) or Nothing.
Normal Treasure Spots:
Spot 5: Key to Sector 5 (if you haven't found it yet and Cloud's recovered from his Mako Poisoning), Elixir (36/256 chance if you didn't find the Key or already have it) or Nothing.
Spot 6: Key to Sector 5 (if you haven't found it yet and Cloud's recovered from his Mako Poisoning), Turbo Ether (20/256 chance if you didn't find the Key or already have it) or Ether.
Spot 7: Key to Sector 5 (if you haven't found it yet and Cloud's recovered from his Mako Poisoning), Ether (76/256 chance if you didn't find the Key or already have it) or Nothing.
Spot 8: Potion (128/256 chance) or Nothing.
If you fail to search near enough to a Spot, you will get the results of Spot 8 (Potion or Nothing).
And that's all there is to it. Hope it was useful to you.
Darkdevil:
Nice find.
Anyways the question. Can you find all summons missed except Alexander Typhon and KOTR?
Terence Fergusson:
Not in Bone Village. Only the three Materia I mentioned may be dug up. You can, for instance, easily miss the Ramuh Materia (Corel Prison Chocobo Square, when you're in the room with all the jockeys) and kiss goodbye to ever getting it again.
Darkdevil:
Damn....Oh well, It was worth a shot ^_^
EmperorSteele:
Damn, good work there, TF! *pats on the back*
