The Final Fantasy 2 Pixel Remaster bestiary contains 128 enemies, and this page lists a confirmed farming location for every single one. Each entry includes full stats, weaknesses, and drops. And three trophies are tied directly to bestiary completion:
- Field Research - Basic: 10% (13 entries)
- Field Research - Advanced: 50% (64 entries)
- Field Research - Professional: 100% (all 128 entries)
To check your progress, go to the title screen and pick Extras > Bestiary, or open it from the Config menu mid-game. Enemies you haven't encountered show up as "????" in the list; the ones you've beaten display full stats. Every entry on this page has a green location showing a confirmed spot where you can find that enemy (even the rare ones that like to hide).

Missable Enemies
These 11 enemies only appear in one-time locations or disappear after story events. Defeat them before it's too late. But don't panic if you're mid-playthrough: most of them are hard to miss as long as you know when the windows close. For full walkthrough coverage of each area, check the linked chapters below.
Gone after obtaining the Ultima Tome
These enemies vanish once you pick up the Ultima Tome in the Mysidian Tower. Sea enemies are encountered while sailing between continents, and the overworld enemies roam the desert and coastal areas near the Coliseum.
One-time dungeon exclusives
The Cyclone and Castle Palamecia are both destroyed after you clear them. These five enemies are found only inside those dungeons and can't be encountered anywhere else.
