SUMMIT STATION
==============
item:
  Phoenix Down

You’ll now see the South Gate and a short conversation between the guards.
And then, you’ll see Dagger and Steiner on the Car. Finally, you’re at the
Summit Station. In here, you’ll have to wait for the car that will head to
Alexandria. The man will suggest that you go to the rest area. When you
regain control of Dagger, go right and enter the rest area. In here, you’ll
be able to control Dagger alone. Go to the left and talk to the man on the
left behind the counter. The car to Lindblum will now leave. Dagger will hear
someone outside who missed the car. Somehow it’s familiar to her. Now, go to
the lower left area and get the chest for a Phoenix Down. And then, go to the
right and you’ll see a Moogle. Talk to it and save your game. After saving,
leave the rest area through the lower left door. Outside, you’ll see Marcus
and Cinna! After a short talk, they’ll enter the rest area. Now, go inside
the rest area again.

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. The man will look outside but
will come back because of shock. You’ll then go outside. Surprise! It’s Black
Waltz #3. A little desperate eh? Now, you’ll have a battle with him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: BLACK WALTZ #3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level: 9                Type:  Human

MP: 344                 Items: none
AP: 5
Stolen Item/s: Steepled Hat, Lightning Staff, Flame Staff

This will be easy. Have Marcus steal or attack Black Waltz. Steiner should
use physical attack as he is already strong. As for Dagger, she will be a
great healer. You’ll defeat him eventually.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, your party will come back into the car and continue moving
on towards Alexandria. In the car, you’ll see a short conversation between
Dagger and Marcus about the attack in Burmecia.

==========
SOUTH GATE
==========
Gil:
  1610

When you arrive, you’ll be at the south gate. You’ll be told that there are 2
path on the next screen. The left one goes to Dali and the right one goes to
Treno. When you regain control of your characters, go north a bit then go
right. You can buy items from the Part-time worker Mary at the Item Shop
Vega. After buying items, go to the northwest and move on until you reach the
next screen. In here, you’ll see a commemoration to the 20th anniversary of
the friendship between Alexandria and Lindblum. Now, go right and then move
on until you reach the next area. Here, find 1610 gil at the bottom of the
screen then show your gate pass and you’ll be allowed to exit. You’ll then
find yourselves in the World Map again.

=========
WORLD MAP
=========

If you look at the map, you’ll see Treno. So, from the South Gate, head to
the southeast and to go Treno. Save your game first then enter.

=====
TRENO
=====
Item:
  Ether
Key Item:
  Supersoft
Stellazzio:
  Gemini  
  Taurus
Gil:
  2217 (accumulated)
Card:
  Yeti
Equipment:
  Mythril Dagger

Upon entering Treno, Steiner will be at it again! Marcus plans on stealing
the Supersoft but Steiner won’t allow it. Then, Dagger will leave and so is
Marcus and Steiner will be left alone. Now, you’ll be able to control
Steiner. An ATE will show up. You can choose any of the 2 (Ambition or Treno
Tradition. I suggest you see Treno Tradition first). After the ATE, you’ll be
able to control Steiner. Now, go to the left and you’ll see a pond. You can
throw 10 gil here. If you throw 11 times, in the 11th throw, you’ll be able
to get the Gemini Stellazzio. After getting Gemini, go to the upper left
towards the next area.

Here, another ATE will appear. After that, go a bit to the left and then go
down the ladders, which leads to a tower to the north (the tower to the
extreme left is locked). In this screen, you’ll see another ATE. After seeing
the ATE, go right and you’ll be in an intersection. Go up first and head to
the upper left mansion. In here, if you watched the ATE of Dagger, you’ll see
the thief you stole Dagger’s 1000 Gil. If you talk to him, you’ll get the
Power Belt in which he used the money of Dagger. After getting the Power
Belt, move on to the left and go to the next screen. You’ll be at the
Synthesis Shop. Buy anything if you want then leave the synthesis shop, and
then leave the mansion. Outside, go north until you reach the next screen.

Here, you’ll see the House of Stella. She will tell you that she is
collecting Stellazzios and then asks you if you have some. If you find any of
them, talk to Stella then you’ll give the Stellazzio you found. After giving
a Stellazzio to her, the assistant will give you your rewards. After giving
Stella all your Stellazzios, leave her house. Outside, search to the left of
Stella’s house for an Ether. After getting the Ether, go south to the next
screen. Here, just go all the way to the south until you reach the next area.
You’ll see another ATE again. After the ATE, if you go to the right, you’ll
see the Card Stadium. You can play if you want but you probably have weak
cards at this point. You can also buy some cards at the Card Shop near the
entrance for 100 gil each. They’re pretty weak though. If you talk to the man
beside the entrance, he’ll explain to you the rules/mechanics of the card
game. He won’t reveal the meanings of the numbers though. After
learning/playing a card game, continue moving to the right to the next area.

In here, if you move north a little, you’ll see an intersection. Stairs to
the right (where a drunk man is on top) and the one to the north. Go north.
On your way, go inside a big door to the right. It’s an Equipments shop. You
can buy anything you want. Afterwards, leave the shop. Outside, continue
moving to the upper left to the next screen.

Now, in this area, you’ll see the Auction House. Upon entering, you’ll see
Dagger inside. After a short conversation between Dagger and Steiner, Dagger
decides to go look for the Supersoft with or without Steiner. Then, Steiner
will leave the Auction House first. Dagger will remember the man he saw in
the ATE. After that, you’ll be automatically taken outside the Auction House
(note: you can come back in and participate in the Auction if you want and if
you have the Gil to spend). Now, search to the left of the door for 2216 gil.

Now, from the Auction House, go to the right onto the next screen. Here, go
south past the weapon shop and climb the ladders going up to the drunk man.
While going up, you’ll see a Moogle fly near the door of the Weapon Shop. Go
there and talk to Moogle and Save. After saving, go south again and go up the
right stairs again to the drunk man on top. And then, just go southeast
towards the next area. Here, walk a bit to the south. Go down the ladders to
the right. Buy items first from the woman. After that, get the chest at the
lower right of the item shop for 1 Gil! Then, get the chest, which is just to
the left of the shop for a Yeti Card. Now, search behind the Item shop for
the Taurus Stellazzio. After getting the items and Stellazzio, go up the
ladder to the left and head left into a house (you saw Marcus go in here in
one of the ATEs). Inside, you can rest if you want. Then, go down the stairs
and talk to Marcus. He’ll tell you that you can go anytime to search for the
Supersoft. You can go back to town to prepare yourself. 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. Then, Dagger
and co. will leave the house. After that, you’ll arrive at the inn again.
Leave the inn and from there, go south to the next screen. You’re at the town
entrance right now. From here, go all the way to the left until you reach the
tower at the end. Go up the short steps and get the chest to the left for a
Mythril Dagger. Now, go right and enter the door.

In here, just go all the way up the spiral staircase and talk to Doctor tot
at the end. He will then tell you that the Supersoft is in the box. Marcus
will come in and does the honor of getting the Supersoft from the Chest. When
you regain control of Dagger, go and talk to Doctor Tot. Dagger will ask
about Gaia. Doctor tot will then have a flashback of him and Dagger when she
was still little. After that scene, Doctor Tot will tell you that he can help
you reach Alexandria. There’s a secret ancient Transportation that was used
long ago that will enable you to travel between Treno and Alexandria. Now,
when you regain control of Dagger, talk to Doctor Tot. He’ll tell you go down
the hole. Also, you can head back to town first and buy some equipments,
items or even save your game. After preparing, go back to Doctor Tot’s Tower
and enter the hole.

==========
GARGAN ROO
==========
Item:
  Phoenix Down
Equipment:
  Chain Plate

Here, you’ll see the ancient transportation device. Doctor Tot will tell you
that in order for this to work, you have to activate the sequence trigger.
When you regain control of Dagger, talk to the moogle and save your game.
From here, go to the left towards the next screen. Here, get the Chain Plate
from a chest to the right. Next, get the chest to the left for a Phoenix
Down. After getting the items, examine the lever and pull it. Now, go back
and talk to the moogle and save. From here, let’s go right to the next
screen. Here, just go North to the next screen. Here, Doctor Tot will tell
you that when you pull the switch, you’ll call the Gargant that will give you
a ride to Alexandria. So, go to the switch and pull it. You’ll see the
Gargant walking on top. After that, follow Doctor Tot to the previous screen.
In here, go to the left and pull the lever. A big bowl of food will come
down. The Gargant will stop and eat. You’ll now board the Gargant. Doctor Tot
lectures Steiner about his duty and that he’ll endanger the princess if he
doesn’t make decisions for himself. After that, you’ll now head off. On the
way, the Gargant will begin to hesitate. Dagger and co. will then examine a
reason. It’s a bog Snake of some sort. You’ll have to fight it now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: RALVURAHVA

This will be another easy fight. For Marcus, just have him steal the
equipments and then attack. Have Steiner use normal physical attacks and
Dagger should be the healer of the party. Just beware as the snake can induce
the Poison and "Slow" status effects at your party.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After beating it for a few times. It will escape. Then you’ll continue on
your journey to Alexandria.

==========
ALEXANDRIA
==========

Dagger and co. will finally arrive at Alexandria Castle. You party will now
move on. On the way, you’ll be trapped by Zorn and Thorn. They were ordered
to capture you and bring Dagger to the Queen. After that, it’s back to
Zidane.

========
BURMECIA
========

Here, after a short talk between your characters, you’ll decide to go to
Cleyra where the Burmecians took refuge. Freya will then tell you that Cleyra
is in a desert to the west of Burmecia. After that, you’ll some thoughts of
Zidane. And then, you’ll be taken automatically outside to the World Map.

=========
WORLD MAP
=========

From Burmecia, go west towards the desert. Cleyra is the place where you see
a large sandstorm. Go to it. Save first and then enter Cleyra.

Item:
  Phoenix Down   Tent
  Ether          Remedy
  Potion         Hi-Potion
Equipments:
  Magician Shoes   Flame Staff
  Ice Staff        Desert Boots
Gil:
  900 gil

Upon entering, you’ll see a short scene with your characters. Then, you’ll be
shown a FMV of Cleyra on top. When you regain control of your characters, go
north to the next screen. Here, pull the lever on top of the stairs to the
right. The door will now open. Go through it to reach the next screen.

Now, follow my instructions carefully as this place is more confusing than
the previous places you’ve been before. Now, go north. Get the chest for a
Phoenix Down on the way. Move on to the next screen. In here, get a hidden
chest at the bottom of the screen for the Magician Shoes. From here, go north
and you’ll see a falls made out of sand. Search for the hidden chest here for
an Ice Staff (it’s hidden by the leaves of the tree in the middle). After
getting the equipments, go right towards the next screen. In here, just move
along until you reach the next screen. Here, get the chest for an Ether.
Then, go south a bit and examine the small hole. Then, try to put in your
hand. You’ll see a lot of sand coming from the left. Now, go back to the
previous screen. You’ll see that you can’t go south anymore. So, climb up the
vines until you reach the hole on top. Go in and you’ll reach the next
screen. In here, go left and go inside the hole that you’ll. It will lead you
to the next area.

In here, don’t go up the slope yet. Go left and get the chest for a Needle
Fork. Now, go up the slopes to the right. Get the chest here for a tent. From
here, you’ll see 2 paths, directly to the left and to the upper left. Go to
the left path first and talk to the moogle at the end. Rest and then save
your game. After saving, go to the upper left path to the next screen. In
here, you’ll see 2 paths again. Use the path to the north first and get the
Flame Staff at the end. After getting the Staff, use the other path until you
reach the next screen. In here, just cross the bridge and move on to the next
screen.

In this place, get the hidden chest behind the tree in the middle for the
Desert Boots. From here, you’ll see a small hole just a bit to the upper left
of the middle tree. Go in and search for a Mythril Vest. Now, go all the way
to the right and get the chest for a Remedy. No use the upper right path and
you’ll reach the top of this screen :) then, just press UP on the d-pad or up
on the Analog Stick and you’ll reach the next screen. In here, get the chest
for the Mythril Gloves. Then, move north until you reach the next screen.
Here, pull the lever at the end. After pulling the lever, go back to the
screen where you found a hidden chest behind a tree in the middle. Here, go
left and use the upper left path towards the next screen.

In this area, get the chest for a Potion. You’ll see 2 paths again! Go to the
right path first onto the next area. In here, get the chest for an elixir. Go
back to the previous screen and use the other path, which is to the upper
left onto the next screen.

In here, you’ll see whirlpools of sand and 2 chests to the north. If you fall
in the whirlpool, push the X button rapidly and Zidane will then jump out.
Get the 2 chests to the north first for 900 gil and a Hi-Potion.

There’s a neat trick here. When you enter the whirlpool. You should press the
X button rapidly right? Now, you can actually go to the direction where you
want Zidane to jump off. Just as you enter the whirlpool, Zidane will spin
around right? When Zidane faces the direction where you want him to jump off,
start pressing the X button. In short, where Zidane facing when you press the
FIRST X button is the direction Zidane will jump off.

After getting the chest, go left to the next screen. From here, just move on
to the next screen. Now, you’ll see a ladder here. Don’t go up yet. Instead,
go to the left and get the chest at the end for a Gysahl Green. Then, climb
up the ladder until you reach the next screen. From here, just move on and
you’ll reach the Cleyra Settlement.

=================
CLEYRA SETTLEMENT

  Ore             Ether
  Echo Screen x2  Remedy
  Gysahl Greens   Phoenix Pinion
Gil:
  1,250
Equipments:
  Thunder Gloves  Desert Boots
  Yellow Scarf    Silk Robe

Right after you enter, the Oracles will greet you and Freya. One of the
oracles will bring Freya to the King of Burmecia. The other oracle will offer
you a tour. Just take the tour. During the tour, you’ll visit the different
places here at Cleyra Settlement. First, you’ll be taken to their source of
water. Next, the Oracle will show you the marketplace. Next, the oracle will
show you the Windmill, which harnesses the wind of the sandstorm to extract
water from below. Next, you’ll head to the observatory where the people of
Cleyra look at the splendor of the Sandstorm that has protected them in ages.
Finally, the Oracle will show you the Cathedral where the high priest
resides. This is the place where Freya went. After the tour, you’ll be
brought back to the entrance.

When you regain control of Zidane, go up the stairs to the left. When you
reach the intersection, to right onto the next screen first. In here, search
to the right for an Ore. After getting the Ore, go up the ladders (don’t go
to the left stairs). In the next area, you’ll see the Burmecian soldier and
his family whom you saw at Burmecia. The Burmecian soldier, Dad, will offer
you equipments. Buy from him as he has a nice collection of equipments. After
buying from him, go inside the house behind Dan. It’s the Inn.

Inside, search to the upper left of the first floor for an Echo Screen. Then,
search to the lower right for 1,250 gil. Then, you can rest for 100 gil.
After resting, talk to the moogle in the second floor and save your game.
Then, check also the drawer beside the right bed for an ether. Now, leave the
inn.

Outside, go up the stairs to the right. On the way, search just below the
broken ladder for a Remedy. Continue up the stairs to the next screen. Here,
You’ll see an ATE of Vivi. After the ATE, go LEFT to the next screen. In
here, talk to the Star Maiden Nina. She’ll offer you items. You can also find
a Phoenix Pinion to the right of Star Maiden Nina. After buying and getting
the item, use the LEFT stairs to reach the source of water of Cleyra
(remember the tour). Here, search near the signboard for the Thunder Gloves.
After getting the Gloves, return to where Star Maiden Nina is. From here, use
the ladder going up. In the next screen, you’ll see the Cathedral. Search the
grass to the right of the Cathedral for an Echo Screen. Find Gysahl Greens by
the broken sign near the bottom of the screen also. Before entering the
cathedral you can get the chest that you weren’t able to get at Cleyra’s
Trunk. Because you cannot access it (it is where the area with the trees are
filled with sand).

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This will tell you how to get the treasure chests. (The only chance for the
treasure) Do this before entering the cathedral. After the ATE of Quina's
entitled "No more Yummy-Yummies" go to the area where the Antlion is.
Quina is there looking at the swirling sand. Zidane will talk to Quina who
is hungry and reminded of ice cream by the swirling sand. Quina will jump
into the hole and then Zidane will follow to help. Both will be sucked
down, and fall through the air all the way down the tree trunk until they
land on the ledge with the treasure. 

One trunk contains Desert Boots and the other one a Silk Robe.  Not too bad
for items. Then cross the branch toward the vines. An icon will appear with
two choices. Chose to jump down. Then go to the moogle with the mailbox in
the adjacent room and save your game and continue back up the trunk. Now
continue to move on inside the cathedral.

- Sent in by MAG -
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Inside the cathedral, talk to the oracles. It will relay a message to you
from Freya. “Zidane! This may take some time, so please wait at the inn!”.
When you regain control of Zidane, search around here for the Yellow Scarf.
After that, go to the Inn. When you reach the Inn, a Burmecian soldier will
come in and tell you that the Antlion is mauling a kid. The oracles are so
lazy! They don’t want to fight. The soldier will then ask you if you can
come. Save at the Inn first. After saving, go to the town entrance. Here, go
right to the next screen and you’ll see the Antlion holding a Kid. The party
will arrive. Freya will recognize the kid. It’s Prince Puck! If you remember,
Vivi met him at Alexandria. Now, the Antlion will release Puck. You’ll now
have to fight the Antlion.

The Antlion will be fairly hard. Watch out for his Sandstorm attack. It will
deal a very big amount of damage to your party to prepare to heal. Just have
Zidane steal and then use normal Physical Attacks. For Vivi, use level 2
Magic such as Thundara, Blizzara and Fira at Antlion and make him the main
healer for the party. For Freya, have her use Rei’s Wind to cast Regen on
everybody. Then, continue on using the Lancer to drain Antlion’s MP. If your
HP gets too low, especially after the Sandstorm attack, just use Potions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, Puck will leave again. He’ll greet Vivi before he leaves.
Then, you’ll see a scene with the King of Burmecia and Freya. The high priest
will then come in and invite Freya to join the ceremony to strengthen the
Sandstorm. Freya will be more than willing to do so. Then, you’ll see Freya
and others dance. After the ceremony, a bad omen will occur. The strings of
the harp will snap! Then, you’ll see a FMV where the Sandstorm around Cleyra
disappears. The King of Burmecia will feel that someone will try to invade
Cleyra. After that shocking scene, you’ll see Steiner and Marcus in the
prison.

==========
ALEXANDRIA
==========

You’ll see a short dialogue between Steiner and Marcus. Then, you’ll see
Dagger in her room. She’ll talk about her Mom. It seems that everything
changed when the tall man, Kuja, arrived in the Castle. And then, Zorn and
Thorn will come in and calls Dagger. Brahne summons Dagger.

Then, you’ll see Dagger finally meets with Brahne. Dagger will ask Brahne if
she was responsible for what happened to Burmecia. Brahne will admit it just
because she wanted to prevent resistance. When you’re asked to choose from 2
options, just choose any. Kuja will then arrive at the scene. He will go to
Dagger and put here into deep slumber. Brahne will then order the preparation
to extract Dagger’s Eidolons. Then, you’ll see Zorn and Thorn extract the
eidolons.

=================
CLEYRA SETTLEMENT

  Zuu

The scene will then revert to Zidane and co. You’ll see them at the
observatory. Freya will ask you and you can choose any of the options. After
that, Zidane and Freya decide to go down to see what really happened. Zidane
will now look for Vivi. You’ll get to control Freya. Now, go first to the
inn. In the second floor, you’ll see Stiltzkin. You can buy another set of
items from him. You can get Hi Potion, Ether, and Phoenix Pinion for 444 gil.
After buying the set from Stiltzkin, save your game. After saving, leave the
inn and go straight to the Town Entrance.

Here, you’ll see Zidane and Vivi. When you regain control, just go down the
Cleyra Trunk. On the way, you’ll meet Alexandrian Soldiers but they will pose
no problem to you. When you reach the wooden bridge, Freya will notice
something. If Alexandria plans to attack, why send such a few soldiers? Puck
will then come in and tells you that the town is under attack! You’ll then go
immediately to the town. Meanwhile, you’ll see Beatrix to the left. It seems
it was her plan to lure Zidane and co. in the trunk so that they can use full
force in the town.

Back in town, you’ll see the Black Mages terrorizing the town (they’ll kill
Dan in the Process). Zidane and co. will now arrive at the town entrance.
Here, you’ll fight with Black Mages and Alexandrian Soldiers. After fighting,
when you regain control of Zidane, go right first where you fought the
Antlion a while ago. Here, you’ll see Stiltzkin and another moogle. Talk to
the moogle and save you game. Now, go back to the town entrance and go up the
stairs. Here, you’ll see the Oracles. You’ll have to guide them in order for
them to escape. Choose to go to the right. You’ll arrive in the next screen.
Here, just go up the ladders to the north. You’ll see the Burmecian family
again. You have to choose once more where they should go. Choose to go to the
left. You’ll now fight a lone Black Mage. After fighting, Zidane will go to
the left. In the next screen, you’ll have to guide them again. Choose to go
to right and cross the bridge. You’ll now fight Alexandrian Soldiers. After
fighting with the soldiers, you’ll follow the Burmecians and the Oracles. In
the next screen, tell the Burmecian family that it is still not safe yet.
Then, you’ll see 2 cleyrians. They’ll be at the observatory. Zidane will then
tell everyone to go to the Cathedral so that they can make a better stand
against the Black Mages.

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. The high priest will then call for you.
It’s Beatrix and she got the Jewel from the Harp. She will then leave with
it. The part will try to follow Beatrix. In the next area, you’ll be able to
control Zidane & co. In here, you’ll see the people you have saved. Each of
them will give you items that you can use. You can get the following items:
Remedy, Phoenix Down, Elixir, Ether, and a Phoenix Pinion. You can also get a
Nymph Card and a Zuu Card from the kids. After getting the items, prepare
your characters then talk to the moogle and then save your game. After
saving, leave the Cathedral. You’ll see Beatrix. You have to fight here once
more.

Beatrix will be as hard as the first time you fought with here. Again, if

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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AP: 9
Stolen Item/s: Fairy Flute, Mythril Fork, Phoenix Down
Attacks:       Earthquake, Hiphop, Knock Down, Curaga

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.
