Phantasy Star 4 Warp Codes - Fighting bosses in vehicles is impossible?
5Complete and utter fail! But at least it shows that it doesn't work.
This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. But I can't say that I was 100% surprised that it didn't work. If you've seen previous videos in this series you'd know why:

Sprites such as NPCs, torches, fireplace fires, Tyler's grave, the rock blocking birth valley, Tallas' shoes and apparently bosses too are missing from maps if you vehicle warp or battle warp into them. For some technical reason if you warp this way into another area. I did try battle warping into the Monsen cave from the Monsen cave. And the Fract Ooze was still there. But the difference here was that I walked into the cave. You can't do that in a vehicle. And attempting to warp back into the cave while there and on a vehicle won't work either. The Fract Ooze never shows up. So these sprites only appear when you transition properly from one area to the other. I don't even know if you can bypass that.
Perhaps if I could force certain enemy encounters? Then I could encounter bosses while driving around. If that's possible. Bosses may have a completely different protocol. If you walk around in the glitched mountains on Dezolis you can encounter just about any enemy from the game. But bosses never show up. :/
Of course you can't drive over mountains even with walk through walls. Not that it matters because no bosses show up.
Anywaiz...
The coordinates used here are X:0589 Y02F8, which can be gleaned from the debug menu. I spliced in the Hydrofoil. But you could choose any other area in the cave to warp into. i just wanted an open place near where the boss would be. I used the talk feature to show where I was in the game.
Codes used:
Walk through walls: RFPT-J6YE
No random encounters (for convenience): AB6A-LA4W
FFEC29:ec cave under Monsen. Turn this code on while in battle. Then turn it off as soon as you spawn in the cave. Otherwise you will warp back here endlessly.
FFF410:98 This puts the Hydrofoil in your inventory. Take care that it will go into the first slot. But changing an inventory code to FFF411, FF412 ect... Will place it in subsequent slots.
Codes came from here:
