Steiner will be at it again. He’ll think that Marcus and Cinna are here to kidnap the princess again. Now, talk to Marcus and Cinna. Steiner will always try to stop you from talking to them. Dagger will then scold Steiner in front of everybody for not allowing her to speak to her friends. And then, the car to Alexandria will arrive. When you regain control of Dagger, go out of the rest area (notice that Steiner is a bit mad and ashamed at the same time) and go north then board the car. Once everybody is in, the car will leave. Inside, you’ll know the reason why Marcus is going to Treno. He will look for the Supersoft item to release Blank from petrification. Dagger will offer to help, but then, the car will suddenly stop.

After preparing, talk to Marcus and tell him you’re ready. When you regain control of Dagger, go right and down the ladders until you reach Baku. Talk to Baku. Then, after a few moments, the screen will fade. You’ll see a short scene with Kuja at the auction house. He’ll say something about the canary going to its own cage. After that scene with Kuja, you’ll see Steiner and Dagger in a boat. Steiner will now think about what is happening. He’s helping the Tantalus to commit crime, which is the exact opposite of his duty. He’ll also think about Dagger that his priority is to protect Dagger at all costs. And then, you’ll see Dagger think to herself too. He’ll blame Zidane for what is happening right now. After a while you’ll reach a house. Inside, you’ll begin to search for the Supersoft. Suddenly, someone is coming down from the stairs. Dagger knows him so she will go to the man, he’s Doctor Tot. He’s tutor of Dagger when she was little. Doctor Tot will be shocked why Dagger is here. Dagger will tell Doctor Tot that they are searching for the Supersoft to be able to cure your friend, Blank. Doctor will help but someone from upstairs is calling him. So, he’ll tell you to go to his house. From the town entrance (where you threw 10 gils a while ago), go ALL THE WAY to the left until you reach the tower at the end.

In the cathedral, you’ll be surrounded by Black Mages. There’s no escape! Not until a stranger comes in and destroys the Black Mages all by himself. Well, if it isn’t Sir Fratley! Inside the Cathedral, Freya will talk to Fratley. Something is odd. Fratley doesn’t remember who Freya is. Zidane will come in and then the King of Burmecia. Fratley can’t remember even the King. Then, Puck will come in. He’ll tell everyone that he saw Fratley during one of his journeys around the world. When he found him, he didn’t even remember who he was. After that, Fratley will leave.

Again, if you’re brave enough have Zidane steal from her. For Vivi, use his level 2 Magics. For Freya, use the Rei’s Wind again and the Lancer Ability. As with the previous one, she can still knock you one in one hit with the Shock. You’ll also see her new ability, the Thunder Slash. Use the Coral Ring to protect you. Once you dealt a certain amount of damage to her, she’ll use the dreaded Stock Break again and bring all your HP to 1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, Beatrix will leave you. She’ll then use the Black Mages as a teleporter. You characters will then follow Beatrix by using the Black Mages. If you have Quina with you, he/she will temporarily leave your party. You’ll get him back before going to Fossil Roo later in the game. You’ll now see Brahne aboard the Red Rose. She’s dying to use the Eidolon that was extracted from Dagger by which Kuja told her that it is possible. She’ll now use Odin to destroy Cleyra. You’ll then see a FMV where Odin comes out from the sky and charges at Cleyra. With one mighty throw of his spear, ALL of Cleyra were literally Vaporized! Brahne is amazed at the power of the Eidolon. ======== RED ROSE ======== After that FMV, you’ll see Zidane and co. arrive at the Red Rose. Freya will be very sad as Cleyra was destroyed. Zidane will now notice that there is someone coming. The party will then hide. It’s Beatrix. She’s very reluctant as she is very confident that she and her soldiers alone are enough to capture and destroy Cleyra, so why use Eidolons and Black Mages. Then, she’ll remember Steiner’s words for a while. When you regain control of Zidane, go up the stairs and into the next area. Your party will try to eavesdrop on Brahne. You’ll then see a scene with Brahne and Beatrix. Beatrix will hand over the jewel that she got from the harp at Cleyra. Beatrix will not be feeling good as Brahne never even showed signs of gratitude to her. Instead, Brahne wants more and orders Beatrix to find more Jewels. Beatrix will now ask about Dagger. Brahne will order the execution of Dagger because she is of no more use to her. Beatrix will be shocked! Zidane will then hear the coming execution of Dagger and will want to rescue here. They’ll now have to think of a way to reach Alexandria first before Brahne does. Vivi will then let you follow him. When you regain control of Zidane, go right to the next screen. In here, go down the stairs. You’ll notice a moogle run on the top floor. Go back up and to the left onto the next screen. Talk to the moogle here then save your game. After saving, go right to the next screen and go down the ladders. Move on and talk to Vivi at the end. Vivi will tell you that you will be able to reach Alexandria by using the teleportation devices here. And then, Zidane and co. will be teleported to Alexandria. ========== ALEXANDRIA ========== Item: Tent Equipment: Ice Brand Here, Steiner and Marcus will plan on escaping by swinging the cage to the second floor. When the command appears, you’ll have to choose which to press, either left or right. Just press the corresponding button as to direction of the swing. The easiest way is when it reaches the extreme left, push the right button and when it reaches the extreme right, push the left button. After doing this, the cage will crash to the second floor. When you regain control of Steiner, go all the way to the left and climb up the high ladder. Note that on your way, you’ll be chased by Alexandrian Soldiers. You’ll have to fight them if they catch up with you. Now, on top of the ladder, just go left towards the next screen. Here, Marcus will leave Steiner to save Blank. And then, Zidane and the rest will be teleported here. Steiner will be surprised. Zidane will then tell Steiner that Dagger will be executed once Brahne comes back. Steiner won’t believe it but Vivi will second the motion of Zidane. Steiner finally believes you and will go with you. You’ll be given 30 minutes to rescue Dagger. From the teleportation room, you’ll go right to the next screen. You’ll see Marcus here. He’ll close the gate to prevent the Alexandrian Soldiers from coming in. Marcus will finally leave to save Blank. When you regain control of your characters, go south to the next screen. From here, just move on until you reach the Castle itself. Don’t forget that you may encounter the Alexandrian Soldiers on the way. Inside the castle, go up to where Zidane first bumped into Dagger (Hooded Girl). ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// In the left library, you can see a Book on top of a bookshelf. If you examine it and choose the top option twice, you’ll engage with a battle with the Tantarian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: TANTARIAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level: 41 Type: Demon HP: 21,997 Gil: 4,472 MP: 1,456 Items: Running Shoes, Ramuh Card EXP: 12,584 AP: 30 Stolen Item/s: Demon’s Mail, Silver Fork, Elixir, Ether Attacks: Paper Storm, Doom, Edge, Poison Weakness: none What I did was when the book opened, I used magic, or just don’t use physical attacks, and it will open for a long time and it won’t close. That’s a good thing as the Tantarian can only be damaged effectively while it is open. This is what I observed as of now. Strategy by: Jpuga (I tried this myself) ---------------------------------------- It starts as a closed book. The damage you inflict in this form is minimum (Zidane barely hurt it for 40 HP with The Ogre equipped). When you hit it, it opens itself in a certain page. The number of the page is equal to the total amount of damage your party inflicted on the book form. Most of times, when it opens it just says "There's nothing in this page", but more less between pages 150 and 200 you can find the true form of the monster (a big crying head coming out of the pages!). NOTE: If you make more than 200 damage without making the true form come out, you start from the first pages again (i.e. 145 + 70 takes you to page 15 :( ). Explanation so far: * Zidane hits Tantarian, damaging for 40 HP. * Book opens on page 40 - "There's nothing on this page" * Freya hits Tantarian, damaging it for 35 HP * Book opens on page 75 - "There's nothing on this page" * Steiner hits Tantarian, damaging for 80 HP * Book opens on page 155, revealing its true form. The book form has strong attacks (Paper Storm may kill your characters at once if you have bad luck), but the true form can only cast Poison (I had everyone with Antibody, so it was completely inoffensive). Once you get the true form of the monster to come out, all you have to do is make Vivi cast Fira (hurts for about 2,000 HP) and Steiner use Fira Sword (hurts for about 1,000 HP). Zidane's Dyne skills work quite well too. NOTE: Don't use physical attacks or it will return to the book form. After the battle you just get the message "You are worthy" and nothing else. Another Strategy by: Wolvie --------------------------- First, you should put everyone except Zidane in the back row to minimize paper storm damage and so Freya won't be killed instantly. Also if you've used steal a lot up to that point, Zidane's thievery should do about 2500+ damage. That's right, you can kill it w/o waiting to open the book. If you open it with thievery, then have Zidane steal and Vivi magic, but with Zidane's thievery, the battle will be much shorter and easier. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thanks to Joaquin Puga for the info * \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ From here, go north to the big door. Inside, go to the north door and you’ll reach the Queen’s Chamber. Dagger isn’t here. Now, examine the mirror on the upper left part of the room with the purple light. It’s a lever. A path will be revealed. Now, go down that passageway. Here, go right and you’ll see a rotating floor. It’s easy. Just press the X button when the field icon appears. Now, you can get the 2 chests here for Tent and Ice Brand. Now, after you’ve passed through the rotating floors, go down the spiral stairs to the next screen. In here, just continue down the spiral stairs again until you reach the next screen. Here, just move on until you reach the big circular floor (a portion of it is destroyed). You can go either to the north or to the south. Go north first. Inside this chapel, you’ll see Dagger with Zorn and Thorn. Zorn and Thorn will attack you because of your meddling. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: ZORN and THORN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN Level: 16 Type: Human HP: 4,896 Gil: 0 MP: 9,999 Items: none Weakness: Ice THORN Level: 16 Type: Human HP: 2,984 MP: 9,999 Weakness: Ice AP: 0 Stolen Item/s: Zorn(Partisan, Stardust Rod), Thorn(Mythril Armor, Mythril Armlet) Attacks: Meteorite, Flare, Charge up They’re not hard as they look. If you attack them, there will be a possibility that Thorn (Red) will give Zorn (Blue) the Meteorite Ability, which will damage all of your characters badly. Zorn, on the other hand, will sometimes give the Flare ability to Thorn. The trick here is to concentrate on beating just one of them. Use any attack. Steiner’s Sword Magic is preferable. You can neutralize their attacks though. Have Vivi use any Thunder Magic, or have Steiner use any Sword Magic with Thunder. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, Zorn and Thorn will leave. Go to Dagger. She seems dead, but she still has a pulse but in a very deep sleep. Then, you’ll see an ATE of Marcus. After the ATE, you’ll be able to control Zidane while carrying Dagger. Now, go south and talk to the moogle here. You can rest using a tent and then save your game. From her, go all the way back to Queen Brahne’s Chamber. In the Queen’s Chamber, Zidane will let Dagger rest first. Then, Zidane and Steiner will have a short talk. Later, Zorn and Thorn will come in together with, Beatrix! You’ll have to fight her again! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: BEATRIX ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level: 19 Type: Human HP: 5,709 Gil: 0 MP: 4,203 Items: none AP: 0 Stolen Item/s: Phoenix Down, Thunder Gloves, Ice Brand Attacks: Thunder Slash, Shock, ClimHazzard Weakness: none Just as the previous battles with her, have Zidane steal from here and then use physical attacks afterwards. Have Steiner use Sword Magic and Vivi use his Black Magic. Have Freya cast Rei’s Wind in the first turn then use the Lancer ability. If your HP drops, have Vivi or Freya do the healing. After a while Beatrix will use the Climhazzard, which will bring everyone’s HP down to 1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, Zidane will ask Beatrix about her duty. To protect the Princess and the Kingdom at all costs. Zidane will point to Dagger and Beatrix will be shocked. She’ll now have a change of heart. She realized that everything she did was wrong after all. She’ll ask for forgiveness from the Burmecian People but Freya tells her that it’s too late for apologies. The only thing Beatrix can do now is to protect Dagger, their Princess Garnet. Beatrix will break the spell on Dagger then she will wake up. And then, Brahne will come in. She’ll order Zorn and Thorn to throw Garnet to prison. Beatrix won’t allow it. She’ll defy Brahne this time. Zorn and Thorn will summon the Bandersnatch to kill Beatrix. Freya will join Beatrix and help her beat the enemy. Zidane and co. will now escape through the passageway. When you regain control of Zidane, go down the spiral stairs again. You’ll meet black Mages on the way but they’re no big deal. After beating them, continue down the stairs. Steiner will leave your party for now to help Freya and Beatrix because they defied the Queen and will be killed. After Steiner leaves, move on. When you reach the big circular area, go south to the next screen (the north part was the chapel where Dagger was held a while ago). Here, move on and you’ll be trapped again. Zorn and Thorn will come in. Marcus and Blank will now come in and save the day. You’ll then be shown a flashback as to what happened to Marcus and Blank in the Evil Forest. Now, after opening the trap gate, Zidane and co. will head outside and ride the Gargant what will go to Treno. On the way, the Gargant will begin to hesitate again. You’ll have to fight another Snake here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: RALVUIMAGO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level: 18 Type: n/a HP: 3,352 Gil: 1,404 MP: 584 Items: Ether AP: 7 Stolen Item/s: Phoenix Down, Adaman Vest, Oak Staff Attacks: Stab, Ultra Sound Wave, Thundara Weakness: Ice This is not that hard. Have Zidane steal the items and use physical attacks afterwards. Have Vivi use his most powerful Black Magic. Dagger should be your healer. Use her Cure ability when your HPs are low. Use her also to heal status effects if they are inflicted with any. A good strategy here is to let Vivi attack Ralvuimago physically. It will compact itself. This way, you can let Zidane steal. When Ralvuimago unwraps, have Vivi attack again and have Zidane steal until you get all equipments. Just have Dagger on standby and cure if necessary. Take note also that Ralvuimago will not attack when compact. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, the Gargant will move on. On the way, the Gargant will begin to run fast. Why? The snake will be running after you. Then, you’ll see a FMV of the tunnel. Meanwhile, you’ll see a scene with Brahne. Zorn and Thorn will present guest to Brahne but they won’t be allowed to go near the Queen because they let Dagger escape. The guests will come in. You’ll see a woman named Lani (she’ll be familiar to you as she is very popular in Lindblum, one of the hunters) and a red-headed man. Brahne will order them to retrieve the Pendant from Dagger. And, Brahne will also order them to assassinate the Black Mage with you, Vivi. Lani will leave now. As for Zidane, Brahne offers an extra reward to whoever kills him. The red-headed man will be delighted to hear that. After that, you’ll hear an Alexandrian soldier tell Brahne that they’re ready to leave. Where? You’ll find out later. :) ============== PINNACLE ROCKS ============== Equipments: Mythril Vest Peridot Gem Mythril Armlet In here, you’ll have a short conversation between your characters. Then, an old man will appear. He’ll tell you about the Eidolons that they will always follow their masters. As for Cleyra, the Eidolon followed a Greedy master, Brahne. He will then tell you his name, Ramuh. Dagger asks Ramuh if he could help her. Ramuh will agree but in one condition, you must find his 5 manifestations in this forest. Each of the 5 manifestations contains a part of the hero’s story. When you know the 5 parts of the story, rearrange it and tell him the correct pattern of the story. When you regain control of your party, go back north to the previous screen. Here, you’ll see the first manifestation; here’s a part of the Hero’s Story. Hero ---- “Although Joseph’s death was not reported to his daughter, the manner of his death speak for itself. This is one true story of a True hero.” After hearing that part of the story, you’ll have 4 left to go. Go south to the previous area. Here, talk to the moogle and save your game. After saving, go down the slope (don’t use the upper left path). Just below the slope, search for a hidden treasure chest for a Mythril Vest. Now, go into the pond. You’ll see another manifestation of Ramuh in the pond. Here’s a part of the Hero’s Story. Human ----- “The fact that they didn’t report Joseph’s death to his daughter as indicative of their guilt for failing to protect him. In the end, heroes are also human.” 3 manifestations left. Now, go left to the next screen. There are 2 chest here, one to the left and one to the right above a cliff. If you try to get the left chest, you’ll see another manifestation of Ramuh. Here’s the Hero’s Story. Cooperation ----------- “With Joseph’s help, the troop defeated the Adamantoise in the snowfield cavern and acquired the Goddess Bell they needed to enter the Empire’s Castle.” 2 more manifestations left. Now, get the chest for The Ogre. Now, go to the upper right towards the next screen. Not the green slope leading up. In the next screen, you’ll see another manifestation of Ramuh at the end. Here’s a part of the Hero’s Story. Silence ------- “On their way home, they fell into a trap set by a traitor. Joseph gave his life to save the troop. Then troop left without telling Joseph’s daughter, Nelly, about the tragedy.” 1 more manifestation left. Now, go back south to the previous screen. Here, climb up the green slope leading up. On top, there’s an intersection. Go up first and go around until you see a field icon. Jump to the cliff and get the chest for a Mythril Armlet. Now, you’ll fall down below. When you regain control, just go south to the next screen again and climb up the green slope again. In the intersection, head south to the next screen. You’ll see the last manifestation of Ramuh. Here’s a part of the Hero’s Story. Beginning --------- “Once upon a time, 33 small countries fought together against an empire. One day, a rebel troop visited a man named Joseph, who lived with his daughter. Owing a debt to the troop, he gladly accepted their plea for help. They headed for a cavern in the Snowfield.” After seeing all the 5 manifestations, talk to the moogle first then save your game. After saving, go to where you jumped off earlier to get the chest with the Mythril Armlet. No, go left past the field icon and you’ll see Ramuh himself. He’ll now ask you to arrange the 5 manifestations to create a meaningful story. But, you have to choose only 4 of them. I choose these 4 in the following arrangement: Beginning, Cooperation, Silence, Hero. Ramuh will then why you chose hero as the conclusion. After reasoning out, Ramuh will give Dagger the Peridot Gem and he is now an eidolon of Dagger. Then, Zidane and Vivi will begin to wonder why Ramuh had to ask Dagger some questions, as Ramuh will become an eidolon of Dagger anyway. Ramuh will tell you that “It’s not what people say afterwards... what’s important is being true to oneself”. On the next screen, choose to jump off the cliff. You’ll see a short conversation. Then, you’ll see the Red Rose and the Alexandrian Fleet. They are attacking Lindblum! You’ll also see Black Mages terrorize the town. Next, you’ll see another FMV with Dagger. Then, another Eidolon will show up. It’s Amethyst. It will suck up almost everything in Lindblum. You’ll now see Dagger and Zidane, shocked at what they’ve seen. Afterwards, Zidane and co. will be at the Lindblum entrance. ======== LINDBLUM ======== Card: Lindblum Dagger and Zidane will decide to go to the town. Vivi will stay for a while. Now, when you regain control of Zidane, go to the inn, rest then talk to the moogle and save your game. Next, leave the inn. Go all the way to the north until you see Minister Artania. He’ll take you to Cid afterwards. Zidane will be glad the Cid surrendered or else Lindblum would have been like Cleyra now. Lindblum Soldiers will capture Vivi but Cid will let him free. Now, Cid will talk about Kuja, the one responsible for the weapons of Brahne. The Black Mages are included as well. They saw him sometime before, riding on a Silver Dragon from the north so they assumed that he is from the Outer Continent. The party will then decide to go after Kuja to prevent supplies from reaching Alexandria. Zidane will try to borrow an airship but Brahne has control over it. Brahne gave 2 conditions for the surrender of Lindblum. First, Alexandria will take over the airships. Second, Brahne will get the Falcon Claw from Cid. Zidane will then ask for a boat, but Alexandria seized it too. But Cid has a way. He’ll tell you about a swamp located directly to the north of Lindblum that was supposed to have a way to reach the Outer Continent. Then, Cid will give you 3000 gil so that you can prepare your characters. Now, in the town, the man will tell you that you should talk to him when you’re ready to go. When you regain control, you can visit the equipment shop to the right. Talk to man here, who is the owner the shop, and he’ll give you discounts. Next, outside the equipment shop, talk to the woman who is a little bit to the northwest of the Equipments shop. She’ll offer you some Items. Next, from here, go to the upper left area towards the next screen for the Synthesis Shop. I suggest that you buy the new weapon for Zidane here. Now, after buying items and equipments, go back to the inn first and save your game (you’ll see an ATE along the way). Now, go north one screen from the Inn. Examine the left path (where the church was) and you’ll see that it isn’t passable anymore. Search around here for the Lindblum Card. After saving, talk to the man near the fountain now and he’ll take you to the castle where Cid is waiting at the Base Level. You’ll then see another ATE of Brahne. After the ATE, Zidane will go to the lift to the Base Level. Here, Cid will give you the treasure of Lindblum. The map of the entire world. And then, you’ll see anther ATE. After that ATE, you’ll ride the trolley and arrive at the Dragon’s Gate. Here, you can buy again from the man. Then, talk to the moogle and save your game. After saving your game, exit to the world map ========= WORLD MAP ========= Take a look at your map, you’ll see the Qu’s Marsh to the north of Lindblum. Now, let’s head there. ========== QU’s MARSH ========== You probably have Quina now as I stated earlier (before Burmecia) that you can get Quina early in the game. If you got Quina early in the game, go to point B, if not follow Point A below. Point A ------- Upon entering, just move forward to the next screen. Here, you’ll see a very familiar scenery. You’ll see Mogster and Moggy! You can ask him again about the different basics of the game. Now, if you ask Mogster for directions, he’ll tell you that you should talk to the Qu guys here. They might know something. Now, go through the hole behind Mogster to reach the next area. In here, all that you’ll see is grass. Press the Select button so that the Here Icon will appear and will show you where you are. In the grass, just go all the way to the north until you reach a screen with a Qu and a swamp with Frogs. Now, cross the bridge and head north to the next screen. Here, you’ll see a house. Go in. Talk to the Qu inside. You’ll ask him if you know some excavation sites around. He can’t remember if there are any. The Qu will tell you to find his student because his student might have seen the Site. Now, leave the house. From the house, go south to the next screen again. Here, catch a frog first. When a Frog jumps into solid ground, try to catch it. Walk to it then press X. If the frog is in the water, you can’t catch it. Once you’ve caught a Frog, give it to the Qu here. His/her name is Quina. Zidane will finally give the Frog to Quina. And then, Quale (the Qu you talked to earlier) will come in and scolds Quina. You’ll be brought automatically to house. In the house, Quale will tell Quina that there are a lot of things that Quina can eat in the world. Quale will tell Quina that he/she needs some enlightenment. Then, Quale will ask you if you could bring Quina with you to discover the world. So, have him in your party. Next, you’ll see Zidane and Vivi talk. Vivi will notice that the man inside looks like his Grandpa. Vivi will then come inside the house again and talk to Quale. Quale will deny that he knows Quan, the grandfather of Vivi. Then, Zidane and Vivi will leave the house. Outside, you’ll now have Quina in your party. Equip Quina as he/she is unequipped. Continue to Point B... Point B ------- Go and talk to Quina first then he/she will join your party once more after leaving your party at Cleyra. Now go to the house of Quale. From the house, go right to the next screen. Here, Quina will see some Frog and she will lead you to the upper right area onto the next screen. Here, Quina accidentally brought you to the Excavation Site entrance. When you regain control enter the Excavation Site. ========== FOSSIL ROO ========== Item/s: Ether Equipement/s: Lamia’s Tiara Survival Vest Upon entering, just move on until your characters feel an earthquake. An enemy will come from behind and chases you. In the next screen, run to the right while dodging the swinging blades. In the next screen, dodge another set of Swinging blades. In the next screen, you’ll jump over a hole. The enemy will then fall down the hole afterwards. I tried to fight it but I still can’t beat Armodullahan. I think it’s like X- ATM of Final Fantasy VIII. You’ll need only to inflict about 900-950 damage to it before it goes down. I’ll try to beat it somehow. In the next screen, you’ll see Lani. She will try to get the Pendant from Dagger. You will refuse then Lani will engage you in battle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: LANI ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level: 19 Type: Human HP: 5,708 Gil: 0 MP: 4,802 Items: none AP: 0 Stolen Item/s: Coral Sword, Gladius, Ether Attacks: Aera, Water, Fira, Thundara Weakness: none She is not as hard as you think. Just have Zidane steal from her then use physical attacks afterwards. Note that it will take a long time to be able to steal the neat equipments from Lani. Next, have Vivi use his most powerful black Magic. Quina should use normal physical attacks and sometimes, let Quina use a Potion on an endangered party member. Then, let Dagger be the main Healer of the party. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, Lani will leave you alone. Now, go north down the stairs onto the next screen. This area might confuse you as this is like a maze of some sort. Your party will then see an untamed Gargant pass by. Now, go to the left and get a flower. Go near the big hole and press the X button when a field icon appears. The Gargant’ll give you a ride. Note: all gargants in this place needs a flower before you can ride on them. When you arrive, go north to the next screen. Here, talk to the man. You’ll ask him about the exit to this place. He’ll tell you to push the switches around to manipulate the direction of the Gargant. Now, when you regain control, go Northeast towards the next screen. In this area, get a flower again and summon the Gargant. Now, when you arrive in another area, go right to the next screen. Here, flip the switch. You’ll see the path change into another direction. Now, go back to the previous screen and ride the Gargant again. Now, when you arrive in a new area, go up the stairs to the left first and go north to the next screen. Get the chest here for an Ether. Then, go back south one screen. Go down the stairs then head north to the next screen. In here, just move on until you reach another screen. In here, just Flip Switch #2. Now go back and ride the Gargant once more. After the trip, flip switch #1 again. And then, ride the Gargant once more. After the trip, move go back to where you saw the man who told you about the switches. From the man, go south and talk to Stiltzkin first. He’ll offer you a Phoenix Pinion, a Remedy and an Ether for 555 gil. After buying from Stiltzkin, talk to the other moogle and save your game. After saving, go south to the next screen and ride the Gargant. After the trip, you can talk to the man here and buy items from him. After buying, if necessary, go up the stairs. In here, flip switch #4. Then go right to the next screen. Ride another Gargant. After the trip, just go to the right onto the next screen. Get the chest here for Lamia’s Tiara. Now, go back to the previous screen and ride the Gargant again. Now, flip switch #4 again. Then go right to the next screen again and ride the Gargant once more. After the trip, go right onto the next area. Here, you’ll see vines to the right. Cling to it and try to go right. You’ll be washed down to the pond. While in the pond, press the X button and Zidane will jump out of the water. When you regain control of Zidane, go up the slopes to the right and climb up the vines to a path to the upper right. Go inside the path onto the next screen. You’ll be at the mining site. Talk to the man here. If you give him a Potion, he’ll allow you to search for treasures. Now, give him a potion. He’ll now hand over to you the Pick. Go to the right and pummel the pile of rocks at the end with your pick. After 2 or 3 hits, you’ll hear something. Continue on pummeling the rocks until the moogle inside is free. Talk to him and rest if you want. Buy items from his mogshop, if necessary, then save your game. You can get some neat stuff from digging like the Madain’s Ring, and some other items like the Potions, Echo Screens, etc. Now, talk to the man and tell him that you’ll now stop searching for treasure. When you regain control of Zidane again, go to the lower right path to the next screen. In here, just search to the lower left for a Survival Vest. Now, go back to the mining site. From here, go left to the next screen. In here, climb the vines and go to the left. You’ll see the last switch there. Flip it so that the Path will lead to the exit. After flipping the switch, cling on to the vines again. Now, go down to the pond. From here, go to the lower right onto the next screen (don’t go up the slopes). In here, ride the Gargant and sooner or later, you’ll be able to exit to the world map. =========================== WORLD MAP (Outer Continent) =========================== you’re now at the Outer continent, which is to the north of your continent. Now, just walk on until you see a structure on a bridge. Go around the cliffs and go to that place. Note: It’s not located yet in the map. =========== CONDE PETIE =========== Item: Phoenix Pinion Gil: 4,500 (accumulated) After a short talk just outside the weird village, your party will go inside. Watch as your party enters the village, Rally-Ho! And then, you’ll see an ATE. After the ATE, you’ll get to control your party once more. Now, there's 2,700 Gil when you first enter Conde Petie. It's below the door that's next to the second villager. Then, go north a bit and enter the door beside the other villager. In the next screen, you’ll see another ATE. After the ATE, you’ll notice 2 doors to the left and stairs to the north. Go to either of the 2 doors on the left. This will be the bar and the Inn. Have Zidane rest here. After resting, get 1,800 Gil next to one of the beds then leave the Inn and go up the stairs to the north. In the next screen, you’ll see another ATE. After that, go to the south and talk to Vivi. Then you’ll see yet another ATE. After viewing the ATE, go to the lower right area and go down the stairs. You’ll be in the item shop. You’ll be shocked at what you’ll see. It’s a Black Mage! Vivi will chase it. Zidane will then follow. In the next screen, Vivi continues to pursue the Black Mage. Dagger will ask what is wrong and then they will go to Vivi. At the entrance, the Black Mage got away. The man (Harold) will tell you that these Pointy-Hats come here to traded. They came from a forest southeast from Conde Petie. Your party will then decide to go there. But before leaving, go to the item shop first and buy some items. And then, talk to the moogle here and save your game. Search around in the southern portion of this room for a Phoenix Pinion. Now, go to the upper right path onto the next screen. You’ll see the equipments shop. After buying items and Equipments. Go out to the World Map. ========= WORLD MAP ========= Just outside Conde Petie, if you look to the southeast, you’ll see a big forest just below the cliff. From Conde Petie, just go southeast. Go around the cliff and to the Black Mage Village. ================== BLACK MAGE VILLAGE ================== Items: Gysahl Greens Ether Elixir Equipment: Black Belt Gil: 2843 gil (accumulated) Once inside, you’ll see a Black Mage go to the upper right. Now, just go to the upper right 3 times then go to the upper left. You’ll see the Black Mage appear again. Now, follow him to the upper right. You’ll see a Sub-FMV where the Black Mage reveals the forest where the Black Mage lives. Once inside, your party members will be surprised at what they will see. The Black Mages here can talk! Vivi will try to find some Black Mages and talk to them. Dagger will come in but will leave Zidane and explore the town. Quina will come in next and will leave Zidane also to find more food! :) Zidane is all alone now. You’ll now see another ATE. When you regain control of Zidane, go to the house directly to the left. This is the Equipment shop. Buy stronger equipments here. After buying, if necessary, leave the shop and find an Elixir to the right of the weapon shop's door. From here, go to the northeast onto the next screen. Go past the moogle first and into the house at the end. Inside, you’ll see an ATE again. After that ATE, you can talk to Quina. Quina tries to eat the Chocobo Egg. The Black Mages try to protect the Egg from Quina. After talking to them, search around here for a Gysahl Green. After that, leave this house. Talk to the moogle outside and save your game. Now, go south towards the town entrance. Here, go to the Northwest until you reach the next screen. You’ll see 2 houses here. Go inside the right one first. You’ll be in an Item Shop. Buy items if you want, then get an Ether next to the bookcase, then go left and leave the shop. Now, go inside the house to the left. You’ll see Dagger in here. Zidane will talk to her then she’ll leave to look for Vivi. When you regain control of Zidane, search for the hidden chest here which contains 2000 gil. Next, go up the ladders onto the roof. Here, just go to the north and search for a hidden chest with 843 gil. Then, go back down the ladders and talk to the Black Mage. It’s the Black Mage Village Synthesis Shop. Synthesize some equipment then leave the shop. Outside, go left and you’ll see Vivi run. Follow Vivi inside the Item Shop. Inside the Item shop, use the back door and cross the wooden bridge and you’ll arrive at the inn. Talk to Vivi. Quina and Dagger will come in afterwards. Then, you’ll be asked if you want to rest. Do so. During the night, Vivi will leave the Inn. Zidane and Dagger will be alone in the room. They’ll have a conversation. Zidane will tell Dagger that Vivi is just trying to find something. Trying to find a place that he can finally call home. And Vivi might be able to find it here in the Black Mage Village. Then, Zidane will tell Dagger a story. Once there was a man, who didn’t know where he came from, who his parents were, and even what he is. One day, he left the house of his adoptive father and tried to find that place. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to find anything and return to his adoptive father’s house. His adoptive father gave him a spanking for leaving the house. But, there’s still a smile on the man’s face. At the least, he has a place to call home. Then, after that story, you’ll see Vivi talk to the Black Mage again. He’ll ask about “stopping” or death again. In the morning, Dagger will learn something from the Black Mage. They saw Kuja in a Silver Dragon in the northern part of this continent. With Kuja around, there must be a secret to this continent. After that, Vivi will come in as well as Quina. Now, you have to go through Conde Petie to reach the Sanctuary. When you regain control of your characters, prepare them. Rest, buy some items and equipments and then, leave the Black Village. Also, after you stay overnight and are about to leave, go to the synthesis shop, climb the ladder, and go to the screen to the right from there. Walk to that little overhang at the bottom of the screen and the field icon will appear. You'll hear 2 mages talking about 'the usual' that the mage who sells you items gives. Go talk to the items mage and ask him about 'the usual'. He comes from behind his counter to look for it, leaving you access to the ladder behind his counter that leads to his room. Climb the ladder and search around the beds, and you'll find a Black Belt. ========= WORLD MAP ========= Here in the world map, just go straight to Conde Petie. Save your game first before entering. =========== CONDE PETIE =========== Upon entering, you’ll see a short talk again. Then, go inside Conde Petie. Here, just to the area where the inn is and go up the ladders to the north. In here, talk to the gatekeeper to the upper right. He’ll tell you that you must have the ceremony first so that you can pass through to the Sanctuary. Then, he’ll tell you to speak to His holiness. Go back to the area where the inn is. Talk to Father David who is walking outside. He’ll tell you that the ceremony is the binding of a man and a woman. Then, they’ll be allowed to go to the Sanctuary. Zidane will ask Dagger if she wants to do it. Dagger will agree right away. Then, you’ll see the ceremony being held. You’ll see Zidane thinking about some funny stuff. After the ceremony, Zidane will try to kiss Dagger but, Dagger got away :). Now, You’ll see Vivi and Quina. Have them married too! Now, Zidane and Dagger will announce to the twins by the equipment shop that they are newlyweds. The twins will let them pass. But then, you’ll see a girl and a moogle steal some food from the villagers. In the next screen, the Girl and the moogle will escape. Vivi and Quina will now come in also as newlyweds. Now, go to the northeast onto the next screen and you’ll arrive at the... ============= MOUNTAIN PATH ============= Items: Remedy Ether Tent Key Items: Blue Stone Yellow Stone Red Stone Green Stone In here, you can see the Girl and the Moogle who you saw steal some food from the Villagers at Conde Petie. The Girl will be trapped in the branch and the Moogle will go away. Quina will think that the Mog is delicious so Quina will chase the Moogle. Then, the girl will be free from the branch. She will now introduce her self. Let’s use the name Eiko, which is her default name. Zidane and co. will now agree to guide Eiko to her home past this mountain path. When you regain control of Zidane, go left and go up the vines and get the chest here for a Remedy. Now, down go down the vines. Go right towards the next screen. Note: If you use the Fenrir Summon of Eiko for the first time, your party will talk about it during the battle. Now, examine the statue here and choose to take out the Blue Stone. After getting the stone, go back to the previous area. Go down the vines, and head to the lower right onto the next screen. Here, climb up another Vine. Go left to the next screen and get the chest for a Tent. Then take out the Red Stone from the Statue. Now, go back right to the next screen and go down the vine. Here, just move on to the right. In this area, just move along to the north onto the next screen. You’ll see Stiltzkin again. Talk to him and you will be able to buy a Magic Tag, Tent, and an Ether for 666 gil. After buying from him, talk to the other moogle. You can use a Tent and then save the game. Now, you’ll see that there are three paths to the south. The center of which is where you came from. Go to the right path first and put in the 2 stones that you’ve got so far. And then, go back to the moogles. From here, use the left path, climb up the ladder and move on to the next area. From here, move forward until you see a FMV of a very huge tree. When you regain control of your characters, prepare them for a boss battle. After preparing, go to the area to the right and battle... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: HILGIGARS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level: 28 Type: Human HP: 8,106 Gil: 2,136 MP: 908 Items: Tent, Antlion Card AP: 9 Stolen Item/s: Fairy Flute, Mythril Fork, Phoenix Down Attacks: Earthquake, Hiphop, Knock Down, Curaga Weakness: Thunder Now, try to finish of this giant as fast as you can. Don’t worry about your HP as you now have 2 healers in your party. But if the battle takes too long, The giant will use Earthquake and Hiphop frequently and he may be able to knockout your entire party. So, concentrate your attacks with Vivi and Zidane. Eiko and Dagger should be in the back row and should provide support for the 2 attackers. If you have the MP, try casting the summons of Dagger and Eiko. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, you’ll have a short talk. The party will talk about Eiko and the Eidolons. Eiko will be surprised too that Dagger can use Summons also. Then, Eiko will tell you that the tree you saw was the Iifa Tree which is called the Sanctuary at Conde Petie. When you regain control of your characters, examine the statue here for the Yellow stone. Then, go right to the next screen. Here, you’ll see 2 paths. Go to the one that leads to the right first. In here, get the Green Stone and get an Ether in a chest next to the statue with the stone. After getting the stone, return to the previous screen and go up the other path (we’ll deal with the Stones later). From here, just move along until you reach the World Map. ========= WORLD MAP ========= Here, you’ll be on the other side of the Conde Petie Mountain Path. Go north and go to the ruins. Save first then enter Madain Sari. =========== MADAIN SARI =========== Items: Tent Ore Phoenix Pinion Key Item: Kirman Coffee Stellazzio: Libra Upon entering, your party will look around. Then, moogles will come out of nowhere. After that, you’ll follow Eiko. In the next area (fountain area), Zidane will ask Eiko about Mog. Eiko tells him that Mog is always by her side. Then, Eiko will pull Zidane over to the bench and asks a lot of questions about Zidane. After that, Dagger will be jealous. Now, Eiko will start to cook for your meal. You’ll see an ATE. After the ATE, you’ll be able to control Zidane. Now, search around the fountain for the Libra Stellazzio. There’s also a hidden chest in this area which contains a Tent. After getting the item and the Stellazzio, go to next screen to the left and talk to Vivi. You’ll see another ATE. After the ATE, try entering the door. The moogle will stop you from entering because Eiko is not yet through preparing the meals. You’ll see another ATE. During this ATE, you’ll see the preparation of Eiko. She and the Moogles will decide on the dishes that will be served. Then Eiko will order the moogles to do specific tasks. To go fishing, dig for Potatoes, and help in the kitchen. Just select any of the moogles. Then, Eiko will start to cook. After that interactive ATE, go back to the fountain area. From here, go north onto the next screen. Talk to the moogle. It won’t let you pass because this is a restricted area. Then, you’ll see Quina. She’ll tell you that she ate rocks. Then, Quina’ll jump into the water. After that, head back to the Fountain Area. Now, go left to the next screen again and talk to the moogle by the door. The moogle will give you a tour of the Eidolon Wall while Eiko is cooking. Now, go to the restricted area. On your way, you’ll see another ATE. You’ll now see Eiko prepare. She’ll have to decide the number of people that will eat. Select any number more than 10. Next, you can put an Oglop or not. Finally, Let Mocha cook and lend a hand to the other moogle who is fishing. Eiko will get Quina! After the ATE, talk to the moogle by the restricted area. Zidane will call Dagger first. When you regain control, go to the fountain area and go south to the next screen. Here, talk to Dagger. You’ll tell her about the Eidolon wall and she’ll come with you. Now, go back to the restricted area. The moogle will let you in. Morrison (the moogle) will talk to you about the Eidolon wall. Then, Dagger will look at the murals. She’ll recognize some of them then she’ll continue to look over to the other murals. You’ll now take control of Zidane again. Leave the Eidolon Wall. You’ll see another ATE. In this ATE, you’ll see Eiko and Quina. Quina is a Gourmand and can help you cook. When asked, choose to ask Quina for advice. Quina will tell you about the water and the ingredients of the meal. Quina will need more heat so she will then have an idea of calling Vivi over and provide fire. Now, go all the way to the left and you can now enter the door. You’ll see the meal. Your party will then have their meal. While eatnig, Eiko will tell everyone that she is the lone survivor of the summoners here at Madain Sari. After the conversation, everyone will thank Eiko for the meal. Zidane will think that maybe he’ll try Eiko’s cooking. Eiko will be angry at Zidane. She’ll order you to get the dishes and bring it to the kitchen. When you regain control of Zidane, get the chest to the right for an Ore. Then, go around the table and get the partially hidden chest for a Phoenix Pinion. After getting the 2 chests, examine the table and you’ll gather the dishes. Bring it to the kitchen, which is to the left. In the kitchen, Eiko will you to put the dishes down. Now, talk to Eiko. She’ll tell you more about the Iifa Tree. She says that the Iifa Tree is sealed by an Eidolon. Then, talk to Eiko and ask her help to break the seal but she’ll refuse. Talk to her again until she says she won’t do it. Now, go to the dining room and try to leave. A moogle will come in and offers you a rest. So, rest up. During the night, Zidane will see Vivi thinking a lot again. Zidane will tell Vivi to try to loosen up and not to think too much. Zidane will then tell Vivi about what life is. That it’s unfair and you are what you do and you are the ones who make the choices in your life. While talking, you’ll see Eiko eavesdropping on them. The next morning, the party will be at the entrance. Eiko will come in and joins you so that she can help release the seal on the Iifa Tree. You’ll now be automatically taken to the World Map. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Note: There's a Kirman Coffee key item around the left banister in Eiko's Kitchen. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ========= WORLD MAP ========= Now, go directly to the south and enter the Conde Petie mountain path. In here, the path is pretty straightforward (unlike before) and you’ll reach the other side in no time at all. Now, on the other side, go southwest onto the Iifa Tree. Save first then enter. ========= IIFA TREE ========= Item: Ruby Gem Elixir Hi-Potion Remedy Ether Equipments: Brigandine Vest Lamia’s Flute Upon entering, Zidane will notice the mist. The Iifa Tree is source of all mist. Then, Zidane will try to go in but there’s a barrier. It’s the seal that Eiko spoke of back in Madain Sari. You can Poke it or Slam it but it’ won’t budge. Ask Eiko to remove the seal. Eiko will then call on the Eidolon that seals the entrance. She’ll receive the Ruby Gem. When you regain control of the party, go inside the Iifa Tree. In here, just move forward. The path is straightforward, don’t worry. Move on until you see a Moogle. Talk to it, then rest and save your game. From the moogle, move on until you reach a circular elevator. Have Zidane try it first and then your party. Below, the path is straightforward again. On the way, you can get an Ether from a hole in a wall in the right side also, get 2 chests on the way for a Hi-Potion and a Lamia’s Flute. There’s also a chest to the left of the ones with Lamia’s Flute that contains a Remedy. Eventually, you’ll reach another weird area. Your party will then stand on the big leaf. It will go around towards the bottom. On the way, Mog will tell you that she senses a lot of life forces below them. Then, zombies will attack you. After beating then, when you regain control of Zidane on the leaf, talk to Vivi. He will tell you something about the Factory of Black Mages you saw back at Dali. It’s somehow connected to Kuja and the mist. Then, you’ll have to fight again. After the battle you’ll reach the floor below. When you regain control of Zidane, go down the stairs to the right. Now, search behind the stairs for a chest that contains an Elixir. Go to the left side of the trunk then go all the way back and to the right until you see a (!) and you’ll receive a Brigandine Vest. And then, talk to Eiko and watch the green light with her. When you regain control of Zidane again, go to the lower left and search for a Field Icon. Zidane will notice that it’s moving. Then, something from above will come in. Dagger will stumble down. Now, go to Dagger. You’ll see Soulcage. It will talk to you. It will tell you that the mist was sent to the world to create chaos among the leaders of the different nations. It’ll also tell you that Kuja uses the waste product of the mist in order to create the mist. You must defeat Soulcage now to rid the world of the Mist. You’ll now have to fight. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: SOULCAGE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level: 26 Type: Undead HP: 9,765 Gil: 3,800 MP: 862 Items: Elixir, Phoenix Down AP: 9 Stolen Item/s: Brigandine, Magician Cloak, Oak Staff Attacks: Level5 Death, Fire Blades, Shockwave Weakness: none This is a tough one. Its level5 Death will instant kill all your characters that have a level in multiples of 5 (i.e. 20,30,25). Zidane should just use physical attacks. Let Vivi use Ice Magic. Eiko and Dagger should be the healers. If you can spare a turn, use Eiko or Dagger’s Summon. And, also hope that Zidane will reach Trance! Strategy by Megat Suhamdan (shah_ff7ff8@hotmail.com): The strategy is very simple. Only four words. Just Throw One Elixir (at him of course). There, that's the strategy. Very simple huh. Strategy by Geno (geno8827@home.com): There's a faster and easier way of killing Soulcage. All you have to do is have Eiko or Dagger cast life on the him and he dies instantly. Note that both strategies are have been tested and proven by me. :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, the party will leave the tree. You’ll now see a FMV of the Iifa Tree. The Mist will be gone now and the Iifa Tree looks more beautiful. After that FMV, you’ll party will be at the entrance waiting for Kuja. Vivi will talk about the Black Mages. What if they get mad at Vivi. And then, a moogle will come in and tell Eiko that someone stole something important back at Madain Sari. The party will help Eiko. Kuja can wait so they’ll help Eiko first. Now, exit to the World Map and then head back to Madain Sari through the Conde Petie Mountain Path. =========== MADAIN SARI =========== Items: Tent Elixir Phoenix Down Equipments: Survival Vest Exploda Memory Earring Here, the moogles will call on Eiko. When you regain control of Zidane, follow Eiko and go to the Kitchen. Here, see the moogles gathered around. Now, go down the stairs here and go inside the room below the kitchen. You’ll see Eiko here. The stone that was passed down through generations is the one that was stolen. The party will then decide to find the thief for Eiko. Eiko will then leave and go to the Eidolon Wall. But then, you’ll hear Eiko scream. Vivi will come in and tell you that Eiko is held by the woman you saw back at Fossil Roo. None other than Lani. When you regain control of Zidane, get the chest here for a Survival Vest as well as a Phoenix Down. And then, go to the Eidolon wall. Here, talk to the moogle in front of the door. Ask the moogle to heal your party. Then, take a peek inside. You’ll see Eiko and Lani. After that, another moogle will come in and gives you the Exploda and an Elixir. Then, talk to the moogle in front of the door again and ask for Mog. Mog will be very scared even if Zidane assures her safety. Then, talk to the moogle again and choose to save her. In the Eidolon wall, Eiko will be put to sleep by Lani. She demands that you surrender the pendant of Dagger. Also, Vivi should be the one who will give it to her. Just as Vivi walk towards Lani, the Red- Headed man will show up and stop Lani and save Eiko. Eiko will then wake up. Lani will be outraged at what the red-headed man did then she’ll leave. The man will then challenge Zidane into a one on one battle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: SCARLET HAIR ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level: 22 Type: Human HP: 8,985 Gil: 4,790 MP: 5,865 Items: Tent AP: 9 Stolen Item/s: Poison Knuckles, Ether Attacks: Physical Attacks Weakness: none The man will be easy. Just use normal physical attacks on him. When Zidane’s HP reaches 600, heal Zidane right away as the man is very fast and can have 2 turns in a row. The man will also go around the battlefield. When he says “Here I go!”, attack him as he will be returning to the center. Basically, this fight is easy but long. :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, Zidane will ask the man to return what he stole. Then the man asked Zidane to finish him. Zidane will not do it. He has the Stolen item back, both of them are alive, so there’s no point in taking the man’s life. The man will then leave. You’ll now give the stone back to Eiko. When you regain control of the Zidane, go back to the kitchen and enter the room below. Here, Eiko will ask you if she could go with you. She promised to her grandfather that she won’t leave until her 16th birthday. Tell her that it’s ok to join your party. She’s decided to come with the party anyway. After that, she’ll keep the stone so that it won’t be stolen or lost again. She’ll wear it as an earring. The Memory Earring. Then, Mog will come in. They will have a short talk. Then, go to the dining room and go right to the next screen. Here, search around for a field icon. You’ll hear someone sing a familiar song. Dagger is on a boat singing. Zidane will talk to her. Later, Zidane will tell Dagger about the story of Ipsen, a great adventurer. You’ll then see boat go adrift. Dagger and Zidane will head another woman singing the same song! Dagger will remember what happened to her in FMV fashion. She was the girl in the boat. She escaped with her mother when the Madain Sari was destroyed by large tornadoes while a huge eye watches from above. Then, Dagger will lose consciousness. When Dagger wakes up, she realizes that she really came from this village before she became the princess of Alexandria. Dagger decides to go and talk to Doctor Tot to know the truth. And then, you’ll find yourselves at the Eidolon wall. Dagger will tell Eiko that she prays at the Eidolon wall way back when she was still here. Eiko will be happy as she is not alone anymore and decides to join you in your journey. Then the party will be at the entrance. You’ll see the moogles say goodbye to Eiko. Then, the red-headed man will come in. He is puzzled by the way how Zidane beat him and why he spared his life. Zidane tells him to join in so that he’ll know why. Name him now. Let’s use the name Amarant which is the default one. Now, you’ll be asked to choose your party members. After selecting your party members, exit to the world map and go to the Iifa Tree once more. ========= IIFA TREE ========= Upon arrival, your party members will see the Silver Dragon and Kuja himself. When you regain control of your characters, move on until you see your characters talk about getting on the trunk of the tree. Amarant will lend a hand and takes Eiko and Vivi to the Trunk (he wonders how this dimwit was able to beat him). Zidane, on the other hand, gives Dagger a piggyback ride. You’ll see Kuja. He’ll take you as a warm-up until the elephant-lady comes. And then, when you have the chance, prepare your characters for battle. Kuja will later notice that the curtains are up and the show will begin. You’ll see a FMV of Brahne’s Fleet going towards the Iifa Tree. She’ll be so damn greedy and decides to kill Kuja and take the Outer Continent. Brahne will order the Black Mages to concentrate all magic into one spell then attack Kuja. Dagger will not believe what she sees. Then, Kuja will call some spawns of the mist and you’ll have to fight them. After the battle, you’ll see Kuja and Brahne square off. Now, Dagger will try to save his mother. Even though Zidane tries to stop her, she will not give up. Dagger will then ask Eiko if the Eidolon that is trapped is still here in the Tree. Eiko then points to the roots of the tree. Dagger will go there by herself! When you control Zidane, just go south to the next screen and just move on until you see Dagger. Remember that, you’ll encounter some Mist Spawns on the way down. Then, you’ll see Dagger call upon the trapped Eidolon. She’ll receive the Aquamarine and Leviathan. It’s no use. Leviathan destroys the enemies by using a Tidal wave! After that, you’ll see the exhausted Black Mages. Now, Brahne uses her most powerful weapon. The eidolon Bahamut! You’ll see the FMV of Bahamut rising from the ocean. Then, Bahamut will attack Kuja and the Silver Dragon. The attack injured Kuja a little drawing blood on his forehead. Then, Kuja raises his arm and the big eye will appear in the sky. It will kill the Black Mages and will corrupt Bahamut. Kuja will use Bahamut against Brahne. You’ll see Brahne and she is frightened. Bahamut aims directly at the Red Rose then boom! Later, your party will see Brahne at the short with her escape pod. Finally, Brahne finally came to her senses and talks to Dagger like a real mother she once was. Brahne will tell Dagger that she might be better off sitting on the throne. And then the inevitable happens, Brahne will die. After that tragedy, the party will go back to Alexandria using Brahne’s escape pod. In Alexandria, you’ll see Doctor Tot call on Dagger. You’ll also see Steiner and Beatrix pledge their loyalty to Princess Garnet. Then, Dagger will put a wreath on Brahne’s Grave. You’ll then see a FMV of Dagger's pussy. After the FMV, you’ll be asked if you want to save your game. Save your game and put in Disc 3. |
