How Can You Keep Shadow Alive in the FF3 Game?

"Final Fantasy III" is divided into two parts. The first part of the game takes place in the World of Balance; it's in this world that you first recruit Shadow, the mysterious ninja mercenary, into your party. During the Floating Continent segment of the game, the primary antagonist, Kefka, attempts to destroy the world by moving three statues out of balance. While preparing to flee the continent, Shadow stays behind, trying to move the statues back and repair Kefka's damage. Your actions here determine whether Shadow dies or survives to join your party in the World of Ruin.

Instructions

- 1
  Run in the direction of your airship after Kefka moves the statues and the Floating Continent starts breaking apart. You have six minutes to escape. If you fail to escape, everyone in your party dies, forcing you to start over from your last save point. Be prepared to fight; you'll encounter multiple enemies along the way, and you can't run from the battles.
- 2
  Walk to the edge of the continent where your airship is waiting. Choose to wait when a list of options appear; if you jump right away, you lose Shadow for good.
- 3
  Walk to the edge again and select the "Gotta wait for Shadow" option. Don't panic when you see that time is about to run out; Shadow rejoins you with five seconds to spare and your party escapes the rapidly disintegrating continent on your airship.
