So I was reading up on trying to get these weapons and I was wondering if I could cheese it with save states. For instance, I'm on chapter 3 and I made a save state on the world map right in front of the Forest Temple on Alm's route. Could I just walk in, check the gargoyles to see if they have Astra, and then reload if they don't have it? Would Astra even show up in their inventory or does the game decide if I get it after I kill one of them? Is the RNG set before I even enter? I know the GBA games follow a script that can be manipulated, does Gaiden have something similar?
