-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Quickenings
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Simply put, Quickenings act as 'Limit Breaks' or 'super' attacks or
something to that effect. Mist Abilities are purchased via the License
Board (explained in detail below); each character can obtain a maximum
of three and they can by acquired in any order by any character.
After you purchase a Mist Ability for a character you will notice that
their MP guage is a glowing orange. This represents a Mist Charge. When
multiple Mist Abilities are acquired, there will be two or three Mist
Charges; this essentially doubles or triples your character's maximum
MP as well. To execute each Quickening level a corresponding number of
Mist Charges are required; i.e. for a level 3 Quickening you'll need
all three Mist Charges.
Once initiated, you will be given four seconds to pull off the longest
chain you can. After selecting your Quickening of choice, you will see
three lines, one for each ally, at the bottom right of your screen.
Each character will have a corresponding button assigned to execute
their next ability: triangle for the party leader, square for the
second character, and X for the third. If a character's name and
ability are in white their corresponding button icon will appear and
you will be able to execute the displayed ability. If the character's
name is dimmed out, their ability cannot be used.
Sound tricky? Well it is, sort of. What determines whether or not a
character's ability can be used? That's where things get dicey.
Essentially, it is determined randomly. As explained by earvcunanan
(credit for the Concurrence table below also goes to him) you can think
of it like a slot machine. After each Quickening, your subsequent
selection is pretty much a crapshoot with a number of outcomes
available. So you just have to hope for the luck of the draw and cross
your fingers that you'll have white lines, not dimmed lines, appear.
There is also the possibility that the term 'Mist Charge' will show up.
In that case, selecting the character's icon will recharge his or her
Mist and allow them to perform another attack. If, in the unfortunate
event all three characters' names are dim, you can press the R2 button
to shuffle your Mists; you may or may not be given another opportunity.
Remember, you only have four seconds in total to pull it off.
If you are able to rack up a long enough chain, chances are you'll
trigger what is called a 'Concurrence'. Concurrences are just icing on
the cake, more bang for your buck, if you will. The requirements for
all eight Concurrences are listed below.
-------------------------------------------------
CONCURRENCE Chain

Inferno 3x Level 1
Cataclysm 7x Level 1
Torrent 2x Level 1, 3x Level 2

III. Walkthrough
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nalbina Fortress [1.3]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is basically the tutorial part of the game, so if this is your
first time playing this game, I recommend you read thoroughly. Just
fight the Immperials and then fight the very easy boss, and around half
way, Basch will use his Quickening and finish it off. In the next area
just fight off all the Immperials with the aid of your comrades, and
continue upstairs. You will eventually come to a Save Crystal, and
following that you will have to fight 3 Immperials on your own. After
that's done with just head up for some scenes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Garamsythe Waterway [1.4]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll now meet the main character of the game, Vaan. Unfortunately
he's a bit odd going into the sewers just to kill a few rats and
collect their droppings, lol. Anyways after killing the 3 rats, you'll
be back on the city streets.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rabanastre [1.5]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be in the market place of Rabanastre, so just head South to the
Item shop to meet up with Migelo. After that head to the Sandsea, and
there you'll talk to Tomaj who will explain a few more things to you,
as well as give you your very first Mob Hunt and the Clan Premier. You
can now explore the shops, and if you go to the North of town, into the
Clan Hall (The area the 2 Bangaa are gaurding), you can talk to
Montblanc who will invite you into his clan. Anyways just head to the
Eastgate, and talk to the gaurd for him to let you through.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalmasca Estersands [1.6]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The monsters here are easy, so I suggest leveling a tiny bit and
getting yourself some loot. Just a warning: Stay away from the
Tyrannasaurus, because if you attack or steal from him it will be Game
Over for you! Your objective is to kill the Rogue Tomato in this area
who is standing at the edge of a cliff close to the entrance of the
Eastersands. After getting his hp down like 50%, he'll jump off the
ledge, and you'll have to now go down and finish him off. After you
killed it, you can either explore and and get more loot, exp, and LP,
or just head back to Rabanastre.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rabanastre [1.7]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Head to the Sandsea, and talk to Tomaj to claim your bounty. The board
will have another mark for you to do, but hold off on it for now till
you gain some more a lot more levels, and have a full party. Anyways
after that head to the Southern section of Lowtown and go to Dalan's
house. He will instruct you to go to Giza PLains, which is to the South
of Rabanastre. So now just exit through the door of Lowtown going into
the Southern exit of Rabanastre, and exit to Giza Plains.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Giza Plains [1.8]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just go straight South, until you reach the Giza settlement. Talk to
the elder of the camp, and then Penelo will join your party, as well as
give you 2 Phoenix Downs and 3 Potions. Talk to the Sunstone woman, and
she'll tell you that in order to get a sunstone you gotta first find
the missing boy. Just head further South of the settlement, until you
get to a small area with a Save Crystal on it. BTW on your way to this
area make sure you stay away from the Wherewolves, they will kill you
very easily. Talk to the boy, and he will tell you that you have to
fill the charge the sunstone yourself. This is a fairly easy process,
all you have to do is go to any of the big glowing rocks and absorb
their energy into the stone, this should only take you like 2-3 rocks.
After you're done with that, you'll be back at the camp site, and be
given a few items. Anyways after that, just head back to Rabanastre.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rabanastre [1.9]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back to Lowtown, and head to Dalan's place. Scene, and Penelo leaves
your party. Talk to Dalan, and he explains how to get to the treasure.
You will then obtain the Crescent Stone. Now head to the Northern area,
into Storehouse 5. Kytes finally figures out how to open the left door,
and before you go he gives you 2 potions and 4 eye drops. Now enter the
newely opened door.

There is a save crystal here. If you take the right route you can kill
a few rats and get 7 gil, anyways just head to the left of the save
crystal now, and up the stairs. go up to the first intersection, and go
left for a Potion. Go north and head all the way to the right and and
head down and again to the right. Here you can find an Ether, Antidote,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Examine the Urn for a full map of the Royal Palace, and recover/save
with the Save Crystal. Head to the next area, and search around for
some chests. After your done looting go the the northern stairs for a
scene. And then talk to the Palace Servant near the stairs. Now for
this part you have to press square and wait for the guard to come to
the servant before you run around him and up the stairs, and head into
the next area. Now here, go down and to the right into the first
intersection, and call the North gaurds to you, and quickly run away.

Head through the secret door into the Secret Passage. In the Secret

you will obtain the Goddess's Magicite! After the scene, head up 3
flights of stairs, to view another scene.

Here Balthier and Fran, will finally join your party. Go save if you'd
like. Then head down the Stairs for a Gambit Tutorial. Examine the
Fallan Soldiers for a Scene, and then exit to the next area. At the
entrance of this area, head left for a map of the Garamsythe Waterway
and 31 gil. Head all the way to the left to find a Potion. Now head
south, and before leaving grab the Hi-Potion. To the left of the map is
a Potion, and after you got that continue to the right. Watch out for
the Gigantoads, they can put up a fight. Anyways on the continue on the
path and you'll find a Longsword. Before you head to the South exit be
sure to get the Potion and a Pheonix Down. In the next area continue to

against 3 Seeq enemies. Watch the scene afterwards, and you will get
back all your stuff as well as the map of the Nalbina Dungeons. Go back
in the room and get a Tourmaline Ring and a new Gambit, then use the
save crystal if you'd like. In the next area, defeat the enemies, and
get 4x Knot of Rust, and another new Gambit, Water Mote. Then head to
the Middle-Northern door. Watch the scene with the Basch and the
Judges, I personally think that the Judge looks a lot like Basch don't
ya think, maybe they're brothers? Anyways after the scene Basch joins
your patry as a guest.

Use the Save Crystal if you'd like, and head over to the vendor. He's
selling some really good stuff, especially the armor, magicks, and the
gambits. You should be able to have enough money to buy some of this
stuff. Go up and press the switch in the middle. Head up the steps and
get lots of gil. After you examine the switch next to the merchant,
talk to him and he'll give you a Tube Fuse. Then install the fuse, and
open the gate to continue. Kill any of the mimics to restore power,
then leave to the East. In this area there are a couple of forks and
there are A LOT of monsters so be careful and stock up on potions,
pheonix downs, and antidotes since the zombies and specters can poison
you. First go to the Fork on the right and kill the Battery Mimic
there, then go back and head to the fork on the left. Continue and you
will come across another fork, here take the left and kill the Battery
Mimic, then go back a little and take the right path. You will yet
reach another forked path, and this time take the path on your right
going North on the minimap to come across an Urn which you should open
for a map of the Barheim Passage! Continue South, and up on the small
platform to defeat the final Battery Mimic in this area, and head into
the exit on the left of the mini map. Here you can fight a few extra
battery mimics to raise the CHARGE up more, and get more exp as well.
Head back and continue to the South exit. This is a tough area,
especially with the Flans and Specters, for the Flans just have a
character use Fire, if you have it, and u'll kill the flan in a few
secs. Look on your map and u'll see three exclamation marks(!) or was
it 4? Anyways those (!) points represent all the Battery Mimics you
have to kill before you can open up the next gate. Kill them all, and
grab any treasures you find, and then head to the upper left part to Op
Sector 37, and after you kill the Mimics, press the switch to open the
next gate, and head all the way back to the South part of Special Op
Sector 3, where the newely opened gate is. After watching the scene,
there will finally be a Save Crytal in this area, so take advantage of
it, for that long journey, hopefully you leveled up some. Proceed to
the next area, and kill any enemies here, and get the treasures, BEWARE
THAT SOME OF THE TREASURES ARE MIMICS!!! Now head to the next area, to
the South, and kill the Mimics here, and before going North, head
further Southe killing the Surianders, and grabbing any chests. After
that head all the way to the North of this area and exit. Use the save
crystal in this area and get ready for a Boss fight!
Boss : Mimic Queen
Lvl: 10
Hp : 4073
Weak: Ice
Now if you got any Quickenings for anyone, then you should be able to
reduce the bosses hp by a lot. At this point I had Vaan's Red Spiral,
and Fran's Feral Strike, and after doing both combined, I took off more
than half of the bosses hp in a single strike! Don't even bother with
the Tiny Mimics, and just attack the Queen non-stop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalmasca Estersands [2.5]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After you get out of the Barheim Passage, use the Save Crystal, and
head to the next area. The monsters here should be really easy, since
you should be at a lot higher levels. If you want a full map of the
Dalmasca Easterlands, head North for 3 areas, until you reach a small
settlement. Here you can buy the Dalmasca Easterlands map from the
Moogle for 50 gil. There is also a small shop here and a Save Crystal.
Well if you got that or not, go to the Labryrinth-looking map, and head
to the Northeastern exit to reach Nalbina Town.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nalbina Town [2.6]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the very entrance there is a shop here to buy some amunnition as
well as a Save Crystal. Head inside the town for a nice overview scene
of the town. There is a Gambit shop here with tons of Gambits, so buy
which ever you want. After your done exploring/buying/selling you can
either teleport using the Save Crystal back to Rabanastre, or just walk
all the way South.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rabanastre [2.7]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately when you arrive, everyone will leave the party. Also just
to mention there is a free Teleport service here called the Moogling,
which can teleport you to several different areas in Rabanastre. Just
speak to the Moogle by the East Gate, and then the Moogle named Hurdy
walking around near the Save Crystal, to teleport you. If you head to
the Item Shop, you will watch a scene between Vaan and Kytes. But
before you go stop by the Clan Hall and talk to Montblanc he will give
you: 150 gil, 200 gil, 300 gil. Now head to Lowtown, and to Old Dalan's
place. After you speak with Dalan he will give the a Sword of the Order
to deliever to someone, so go look on your map where the X is go there
now. You will then watch a scene, and afterwards Basch joins your
party. Basch has a ton of License Points to spend, so allocate them
wisely. I had a little more than 360 points, so I personally just got
him the very bottom two quickenings, and practically unlocked all the
axes and hammers for him. Spend the LP however you want, and then head
to the top and to the East End where all the shops are, to watch a
scene. Then head to the Sandsea, and up the stairs to find Balthier and
Fran, who your party again. After the scene head to the Westgate, and
then into the Aerodrome, and find Balthier.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The SkyCity of Bhujerba [2.8]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you exit the Aerodrome, you will view a scene, and Lamont will
join your party as a guest. Just walk forward, and you will see the
Cartographers' Guild who will sell you a map of Bhujerba for 70 gil and
a map of Lhusu Mines for 650. I suggest getting both. You could go and
check out the shops here, but there's really nothing new at all, except
for a few weapons, a few new Magicks a new Technick. There is really
only one path to follow, since everything else is blocked off, so just
follow the path, and exit to the Lhusu Mines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully you bought the Lhusu Mines map, so you could navigate more
easily through this place. Anyways after the scene, just head straight,
and then take one of the paths going south, since they both lead in the
same place. Head to the very left of the map and head down, and exit to
the next area. In the next area just head all the way west and exit. On
next map just keep heading North a few screens until you get to a
scene. After the scene you will need to run as fast as you can away
from the Bangaas, dont fight them because they are very strong and
there's a high chance they will kill you. You will need to run a few
screens back, until you get the scene that you lost them. Now head back
to Bhujerba.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The SkyCity of Bhujerba [3.0]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in Bhujerba, you have to do spread some Propaganda, by going to
the people in the town and pressing square, until the bar reaches 100%,
but beware of the gaurds who will lower your bar back to 0. After you
fill the bar, there will be several scenes. Get out of the tavern, and
head for the X on your map. There will be a couple of scenes, and then
you will find yourself on the Dreadnought Leviathan.

After the scenes here, Vossler will join your party as a guest and you
will also obtain a map of the Leviathan. Anyways use the Save Crystal,
and then head to the next area. Listen to what Vossler has to say and
avoid the laser detection beams. Just find your way around and exit
South. In the next area go throug the door that connects to the room
with the X on your map. In this area go around and head down to where
the X is, to trigger a battle.
Boss : 2x Judges
3x Imperial Swordsman
1x Imperial Magus
All you need to do is kill the 2 judges and you'll win the battle. What
I just did, is right before the battle I filled everyones MP, then
during the fight I just spammed their Quickening, and took down the
Judges in absolutely no time.
Anyways after the battle you will recieve a No. 1 Grig Key, and use it
to enter the door to the South. There will be a merchant here, from
which you could buy supplies and equipment, and a Save Crystal, so use
that to recover from the last battle. Next to the Save Crystal there is
an Urn, so open that to get a Systems Access Key. Check the cell
adjecent to the one with the Save Crystal to find Ashe who then will
join your party. Head back to the previous area and exit North. This
will be a very good area to level up a bit, since, due to the Alarm,
scores of Imperials will come running to you, and it shouldn't be that
hard to kill them, and plus your right near a Save Crystal, so you can
go back and recover any time. Just go to the Northern area, where it
shows the little wheel-gears on the map, go there and use the Systems
Access Key. Becareful since there are tons of imperials in this room,
and they will all gang up on you at once; what I did was just chain
many quickenings to unleash Inferno, which killed them all at once.
After you use the Access Key, just view the Security Report and Reset
the Alarms. Now exit this room to the South, into the giant maze-like
area, and run as fast as you can here South before the Alarms
reactivate, and then exit to the West. There will be 2 of the places
here where you can use the Access Key, so do so to reset the alarm
again, and then exit to the North. Now run through this little maze,
heading northwest, and you will witness a scene, where Vossler will
leave and Penelo will join you party, and you will also get a piece of
Manufacted Nethicite. Anyways just exit to your destination area, and
prepare for a boss fight.
Boss : Judge Ghis
3x Imperial Swordsman
Judge Ghis has way too much HP, and is powerful. The second the fight
started I jus chained some quickenings and activated Inferno, and took
more than 5K of his HP, and the fight was automatically over.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The SkyCity of Bhujerba [3.2]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will be back at the Aerodrome here, so head out and go to your
destination point. Just watch the long scenes, and when you regain
control you'll be at the Dalmasca Westersands.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalmasca Westersands [3.3]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a merchant here, so buy whatever you want/need then use the
Save Crystal. If you accepted the Mob Hunt for Thextera, you can find
him 3 maps to the East of the Save Crystal map, in Galtea Downs. And
heading one more map to the East from Galtea Downs will land you at the
Rabanastre Westgate. If you feel like exploring all the maps of the
Westersands to the East of the Save Crystal, be my guest, but there is
absolutely nothing interesting there. And whatever you do don't touch
the Dive Talons, the giant flying birds around here, because they will
kill you really fast. Anyways go to the West of the Save Crystal now to
get to The Ogir-Yensa Sandsea.

Head forward and climb up the stairs and proceed to the exit in the
west. The Araune here are easy, and be sure to steal from them to
maximize the amount/chances to get the Succulent Fruit from them, which
can sell for a high amount. In the next area you'll meet Vossler again,
and he will rejoin you as a guest. Head down the stairs here and defeat
any of the Urutan-Yensa, and then head north, up the stairs and
continue west. You will notice that there are 3 exits going west. If
you go Southwest 3 maps you can get to a Gate Crystal and a vendor. And
3 maps straight to the west is a Save Crystal and a Moogle who will
inform you of a little Mob Hunt that you could do. Exploring the whole
place, could take you hours since there are a lot of enemies all around
and in groups. If you happen to come across the Zertinan Caverns, I
suggest you dont go in there, for the monsters there are a bit hard,
and you can easily access these mines later through the Dalmasca
Westersands. I suggest exiting this place through the Central-Western
exit to reach the Nam-Yensa Sandsea.

If you are starting from the top, just head south 2 maps, and you'll
reach that "Tortoise" the Moogle was talking about. The Urturn Eater is
really difficult due to its impecible armor and attack. Before you do
anything, you can steal an Ancient Sword from the Urturn Eater which
would probably be the best sword you have so far. Anyways just chain a
lot of Quickenings together to kill off the Urturn Eater and any of the
Urutan-Yensa around it. Afterwards head back to the Moogle and talk to
him, then head back to the Ogir-Yensa Sandsea for a scene, and then
back again to the Moogle for another scene. Talk to the Moogle and go
to the Flower to get the Eksir Berries, then go to the next area of the
Nam-Yansa Sandsea. Head to the map where you fought the Urturn Eater,
and head to the map East. Here just go a bit South across the bridge to
find an Urn, which will give you the map of the Nam-Yensa Sandsea. Keep
heading West, and in the next map search around to the South for The
Gambit Foe: HP > 1000. Exit to the west again, and this time head to a
corner in the middle of the map , where you'll find Gambit Foe: HP >
500, and if you go to the end of the bridge which is close to the west
exit you can find yet another Gambit, the Gambit Foe: HP < 1000. Now
head to the Northern map and look for a chest that contains the Gambit
Foe: Hp = 100%, then head up the tower and go all the way to the end to
find The Gambit Foe: Flying. After scourging for all those Gambits,
just exit the whole place to the West. Also by the exit there will be a
merchant if you need to buy/sell anything.

As you enter you will get into a boss fight.
Boss: Garuda
Hp: ???
Lvl: ???
This is where those mysterious Eksir Berries come into play, so use
them, and they will take out a bit of the Garuda's HP. It's best to
have someone with a gun or a bow in the party, since everything else
will just miss. After the scene use the Tomb Crystal, and there will
also be a merchant here with some nice new weapons and armor. Anyways
just head up and examone the Ancient Device which will teleport you
inside the place. Head straight and the Demon wall shall awaken and
start chasing you. You now can either decide to run to the exit or
fight.
Boss: Demon Wall
HP: ~15,000+
I decided to kill it with just constant chaining of my Quickenings.
Beware, the Demon Wall can cast Doom, and "Suck a character into the
void", meaning you wont be able to revive that character until the
battle is over.
If you killed it the Hidden Jewel in the wall where the Demon Wall was
initially, will be uncovered. Go back to the Tomb Crystal and
recover/save from that battle, because another boss is comming up. So
anyways just exit to the next room and you will have to fight yet
another Demon Wall, yes I know its really annoying fighting 3 bosses in
a row. Before running to the Demon Wall, examine the red glowings orbs
at the sides of the bridge, which will either stop the wall's movement
or speed it up.
Boss: Demon Wall 2
HP: ~10,000-14,000
I personally think this wall is easier than the one before it. Just do
the same things you did to the previous wall, and everything should be
just fine. (If you haven't noticed yet, Quickenings are the way to go
to defeat any boss quickly! That's why they're called QUICKenings..lol)
After that nuisance, just head up and through the door. Head down the
staircase, and open up the Urn for a map of the Tomb of Raithwall.
Touching the middle Way Stone here will transport you to the very
beginning of this dungeon as well as activate that Way Stone at the
entrance that wasn't active before. Also touch that Hidden Jewel that
you uncovered before to unlock two secret passages. The secret passages
have absolutely nothing inside, so just forget about them.
Go back to where that Urn was and take the staircase to the South, and
exit into one of the doors to the next room. In this area there is a
chest with a Gambit in it, The Gambit Foe: Item AMT > 10. In the area
of the Way Stone in this same room, touch the glowing green orb for the
Mystic Altar to sink halfway into the ground, and 3 Liches will appear
so defeat them. Use the Way Stone here to get back to the Urn area and
activate one of the Way Stones here.
This time go to the Northern stairs of the Urn area and head into the
Northern area. When you reach the Way Stone in this area activate the
red glowing orb nearby, for the Mystic Altar to completely sink into
the ground, and 3 Zombie Mages will appear, and defeat them. Again use
the Way Stone here to activate the final way Stone in the Urn area.
Now go through any one of the Unlocked/hidden passage ways, and
continue to the center of the room for a boss fight.
Boss: Belias
HP: ~20,000
Keep attacking it and healing regularly, if you have any Water Motes in
your inventory, use them! Belias will also be Oiling your characters,
so watch out for his flame attacks. After a min or so of attacking, if
he still didnt kill one of your characters, use some Quickenings to
bring his hp to about half or below. Now if you just wanna finish this
battle off real fast just let your current party die, so then you can
bring in your other party and use their Quickenings right away to
finish Belias off (That's actually what I did...I just got too lazy and
didnt want to use up any items and wanted to finish this boring long
dungeon asap!). After the fight you will recieve your first Esper:
Belis, the Gigas!
Continue forward 2 screens until you get to a scene, and you'll obtain
the Dawn Shard. Now head down the steps and use the Way Stone, which
will bring you to the very entrance of the dungeon. Exit the dungeon
and head down the steps to view a scene. After the scenes you will be
on the Airship Shiva, and through more scenes get into a boss fight.
Boss: Vossler
3x Imperial Swordsmans
HP: ~10,000
Stupid Vossler, and he was such a good guest character. Anyways, I just
used Quickenings, and did very close to 10,000 damage, and the battle
was automatically over, so Vossler could possibly have less than 10K
hp. If you have Fran in your party, she will be on Berserk and won't
listen to you. After the fight, just watch the rest of the scenes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rabanastre - Extras [3.7]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The main thing to do here, is check out the shops here for all the new
stuff. You'll most likely not have enough money to buy everything you
want, but dont go blowing everything at once.
If you go into the Sandsea there will be 3 new mob hunts, so accept
them, they are: the Flowering Cactoid, Wraith, and Nidhogg. Also don't
forget to claim your prize for the Thextera if you killed it already;
the guy is right next to the board. You can easily defeat the Wraith
right now by going down into the Garamsythe Waterway, where you killed
those rats in the very beginning of the game. The Flowering Cactoid is
also very easy to kill, just head over to the small settlement in the
Dalmasca Eastersands, to talk to the petitioner, and then head to the
North map where the Cactoid is at, and kill it. Talk to the petitioner
for the Flowering Cactoid to give you your bounty, and then once more
for him to tell you to take the flower to his wife, which we will do
very soon if you read through these Extras.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bhujerba - Extras [3.8]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways head back to Rabanastre and head over to the Clan Hall and talk
with Montblanc, who will give you some money and items for your
accomplishments. You can also accept 2 more Mob Hunts here: Cluckatrice
and the Rocktoise. You can do 2 more hunts in Bhujerba, so head over
there now. Talk to the petitioners for the Nidhogg and the Rocktoise,
and then head over to the Lhusu Mines. Find both the Nidhogg and the
Rocktoise and make the kills quick by just chaining your Quickenings.
As soon as you kill the Nidhogg go all the way back to the Save Crystal
in Bhujerba to recover and save, because the Rocktoise will be the
hardest boss you faced so far! The Rocktoise's HP is very high and on
top of that he is under haste and regen. Your only hope of defeating it
is by quickly chaining Quickenings with one party, then killing them
off asap to bring in your next party and doing quickenings with them.
Head back to the petitioners to get your bounties, but talk to Pilika
again, who will ask you to get his Diary for him. So go to the Magick
Shop and get it (it doesnt matter if you read it or not), now if you
want the better reward, when Pilika asks you if you've read it, chose
that "You done nothing" to get a Shepherd's Bolero. If you picked that
you read it, you will get a weaker piece of armor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nalbina Fortress - Extras [3.9]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is also something you are able to do in the Nalbina Fortress, so
go there either by walking, Aerodrome, or teleporting through Gate
Crystal. Start of by going up to the 2 gaurds blocking the path and
watch the scene. If you notice, their names are Anagrams of the famous
Wedge and Biggs series that are usually in all the Final Fantasies.
Anyways go talk to July, who won't say much, then head over to the
Chocobo Stable and rent a Chocobo for 800 gil. Then while on the
Chocobo head over to the gaurds, and both of the gaurds will run away.
July will then explain what she was doing, and head to Archades to get
her reward. You will have to go to Archades later on to get a reward
from her.
While your still on the Chocobo, quickly ride it to the second
settlement in the Dalmasca Eastersands, which is only like 3 map ride
from Nalbina Fortress. Here find and talk to the wife of the guy who
petitioned for the Flowering Cactoid. After giving ger the Cactus
Flower she will give you a Bundle of Needles. Then talk to the
villagers here to find out that there's trouble at the North bank of
the river, but since we can't get there now, we'll leave it for later.
Then use the Gate Crytal here to get out of this place, or just walk
all that way back to Rabanastre if you don't have a teleport Stone.
In the Sandsea of the Rabanastre, there should be 3 more mob hunts to
accept: Wyvern Lord, Enkelados, and Croakadile. The petitioner for the
Wyvern Lord is in the Rabanastre weapons shop, so you can easily go
there and talk to him. You can do this hunt on your own free time, and
be sure to have 2 teleport stones to get to it.

After that just exit Rabanastre through the Southgate into Giza Plains,
we have another hunt to accept. Go to the Settlement here and find the
petitioner, and do the Croakadile hunt now, which could be found at the
bridge to the South of Giza Plains. If your having any problems just
run over to the nearby Save Crystal to recover and try again. After you
kill it, head back to Sadeen, the petitioner to get your bounty, and
talk to him again for him to ask you to deliver the ring you got to his
wife, and also in the settlement area look around for a Withered Tree
to chop down, which will float to the Southeast. In fact if you search
good enough throughout Giza Plains you will find a couple of other
Withered Trees that can be cut down, and will all drift to the same
area, due to the current. So search the area and cut down all the
Withered Trees, which will form a small bridge to cross in the
Souheast, right next to the bridge leading to the Eastersands. The tree
bridge will lead you to a secret area where there are Silicon
Tortoises, and the best way to beat them is to attack them with the
Ancient Sword to Stone them, and each easily gives you over 1000 exp!
So I strongly suggest if you want to gain a few lvls level up on them
for maybe an hour or so. Also in this secret area if you go all the way
to the East there is an Urn which gives you the Feather of the Flock.
As for the guy's wife who your supposed to give the ring to, she will
appear at the Giza village after the rain stops. Anyways just continue
with the story and go South of Giza Plains.

When you get here be wary of the monsters, for they are stronger than
that of the monsters in Giza Plains. Anyways just continue on your way
to the South into the second area. Here if you'll notive there is this
spiraling "S" shaped area on the map, and it leads down to the Zertinan
Caverns, which I strongly advise to avoid that area for now, since the
monsters there are mosty all lvl 30+, and we will tackle this area
later. Also if you head East for 2 maps to this small map, called The
Shred, there is a Gambit Ally: item AMT >10. Well just keep heading to
the South and you'll be in Jahara.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jahara - Land of the Garif [4.2]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Right ate the entrance here there is a Gate Crystal for you to
save/recover, as well as a Moogle from the Cartographer's Guild who
will offer to sell you a map of Ozmone Plains for 1700 gil and map of
Jahara for only 30 gil, I suggest get them. And the Chocobos here are
extremely cheap, for only 30 gil!!! Just talk to the Garif Warrior to
proceed. Now just run around the town a little talkin wit everyon until
someone asks you to take a Java Stick to the war-chief, so do that. The
items here are pretty expensive, so if you feel like spendin go ahead.
Proceed to the next area for a scene, and then Larsa will join you as a
guest characer. Before you leave you will be given a Bowgun and Bolts,
as well as a free Chocobo ride.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ozomone Plains [4.3]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want rent the free Chocobo, I chose not to for the experience
and Loot. Anyways this time head all the way to the East where you will
enter a series of scenes, and will then be at a Save Crystal. The
proceed to the Golmore Jungle.

This place has monsters that cast alot of status problems. The Panthers
cast Petrify so be sure to have Stona, and the Malboros mostly cast
slow with their breath. Be sure to steal Courel Pelets from the
Panthers for some gil, and if you really lucky you can swipe an Elfin
Bow from a Malboro. At one of the triple intersections at the very
beginning of this place there is an Urn which will give u a map of the
Golmore Jungle. Keep heading East, until you reach a scene, and find
out your path is blocked. After the scene head into the newely opened
area, and you will find your self in the Viera home, of the Eruyt
Village.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eruyt Village [4.5]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Buy a map of Eruyt Village from the moogles, and then check out their
wares. He has the up-to-date accessories, and some really good magicks
too. Anyways this is practically a one way path, so keep heading
forward and then up the stairs and then across the bridge for a scene.
Now head all the way back and out of Golmore Jungle and return to
Ozomone Plains.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ozomone Plains [4.6]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you get out talk to the injured soldier, and give him a potion, in
return he will let you use his chocobo. Get on the chocobo and head to
the next screen, and look around right as you enter for some chocobo
tracks that will lead you to the Henne Mines area. In the next area
you'll see some dead bodies in front of a cave, so just enter that
cave.

Head forward and press the switch here to open up a door, then head
through that door. Press the switch again to open up 2 gates, and head
through one of them. Here there will be an Urn with a map of Henne
Mines as well as a hell lot of bats that will masacre you. Head back
and press the switch again to go through the door on the right. BTW be
careful for at that four-way intersection are a lot of Jellies, and
they keep on respawning like crazy. What I did was have all my 3
characters use Aero to hit all of them at once, this gets rid of them
quick. Just Head South and check your minimap to not get lost in that
maze area, and head Esat. This part is a bit tricky so hang in there.
First just head all the way straight up and go in the next area. Here
go around and to the South to a tiny map with a switch in it. Activate
the switch and get ready to be mobbed by a ton of Jellies, so either
chose to fight them or just run to the Esat. Go back up and enter
Crossover B again, but this time exit to the North for a scene. There
will be a Gate Crystal here, so I suggest saving up for the upcomming
boss fight.
Boss: Tiamat
Tiamat isn't that hard, just keep hacking at him and healing. If you
want you can start off by reducing his HP by a lot using some
Quickenings. Be careful for Tiamat can cast Confuse and Sap(mostly
Sap).
After the fight you'll end up back in Eruyt Village and get Lente's
Tear, which lets you finally pass through that barrier in Golomore
Jungle.

Head out of Eruyt Village and head forward through the barrier you
couldn't get through before and continue on the path till you get to a
Gate Crystal. I strongly reccomend save/recover and get everytin
organized because the next boss is extremely hard.
Boss: Elder Wyrm
2x Treants
This boss is tough, not in the sense that it's powerful, it just has a
hell lot of HP. Quickenings will only do little for you in this battle
and would sap your MP which you need and get yourself killed. Even if
you do manage to pull off at least 2 long chain Quickenings by changing
up your party after the first one, u'll probably just come close to
half of his hp. Also you gotta watch out for one of Elder Wyrms special
spore attacks, which can inflict Confuse, Slow, Silence, Blind, Poison,
Oil, and Sap all at once on any or all of your characters, so save up
your MP to use lots of Esunas. Your characters will mostly die a lot as
well so use Raise continuously. Start off the battle by getting rid of
the 2 Treants to make things easier. Just keep hacking and healing a
lot and after like 20 min you should kill him. The only bad thing about
this fight is that it will be extremelly long and you have to be on
your toes at all times.
After the fight just keep heading to the East and exit this place.

Use the Save Crystal and just head up. In the first monster map, if you
exit to the North you will get a scene. And then head to the North exit
again to get to Mt Bur-Omisace. I suggest you explore this whole area,
and get a few levels and tons of loot. The monsters here are not hard,
but make sure to stay away from the Ice Elementals, for they can wipe
out your party. Also search around for chests, you can get some good
weapons and some new Gambits primarily, Ice-vulnerable and Ice-weak
gambits.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mt Bur-Omisace [5.0]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a Gate Crystal here, as well as shops with lots of good
Magicks, Accessories, Weapons and Armor. I suggest getting most of the
Magicks, and buy a Thief's Cuffs for stealing rare stuff, which you
could sell for greater gil, and 6 Golden Amulets so your characters can
complete the License Board faster and especially get all the Magicks,
Augments, and Technicks. Equip a Golden Amulet to each of your
characters, and if a character doesn't have that accessory slot on the
licence board yet, consentrate on building up your LP and getting that
square on the License Board ASAP. I know it's a lot of money, but you
can get it all back easily over time. Also if you haven't yet noticed
characters not in your current party also get LP from the monsters you
kill, so it's good to just have this accessory always equiped for
everyone. Just keep heading up, on this one-way path and into the
Temple for a few scenes. After the scenes Larsa will leave your party,
and you will recieve your next destination: The Stilshrine of Miriam.

Just head back to the Paramina Rift, and then head ALL the way to the
South and you'll get to The Stilshrine Of Miriam. Head inside and go to
the pedestal. Before approaching it, have a character equip the Dawn
Shard, and with that character activate the pedestal. After you get
teleported destroy the Miriam Gaurdian, and head up running past the
group of Dragon Aevis and the Miriam Facers, and into the next area.
Here touch the second pedastal with the character who has the Dawn
Shard equiped, which will reveal to hidden passages. Head to the
previous area but this time take one of the hidden passages, while
being careful to avoid the Dragon Aevis. In the next area you will see
a green save crystal, which is actually a Crystalbug in disguise, so
kill it and the real Save Crystal will appear. Head to the next area
and make your way to the Giant Sword while defeating the Blood Gigas on
the way as well as the Darkmare. Examine the giant sword which will
open the next door, then head inside and examine the Way Stone to be
teleported back into the Main Hall. Take the stairs to the West door
and just follow the path from here until you get to a Statue of a
Warrior, and rotate it so that it will face the East and its eyes are
glowing. Head forward into the giant-maze like area and head to the
Southeast of that area to the second warrior statue, and rotate this
one till it faces the giant sword in the distance, or until you see
that its eyes are glowing. From this large area exit to the North and
then head to the East for an easy boss fight.
Boss: Vinuskar
HP: anywhere between 15,000-20,000
This boss is really easy, if you just chain like 6-10 quickenings that
should kill it right away. If you chose just to hack and heal, it won't
take that long. This boss emitts a magnetism slowing down any of your
characters with heavy armor or any other metal equips. On top of that,
he can also cast Slow, Sap and Confuse on your characters.
After that's done with, head into the door and get the Urn with the map
of the Stilshrine of Miriam and also turn the last warrior statue to
face the West, and check that its eyes are glowing. If you turned all 3
statues to face the right direction then you should get a message
saying something has changed, or something like that. That giant sword
from before has been lifted, and creates another path for us to go
through. So head back to the Main Hall and use the Way Stone to
teleport to the Sword-area, but before going on save up for the next
boss fight.
Boss: Mateus
5x Ice Azer
HP: ~30,000
At the start of the battle there will be a lot of Ice Azers, which cast
Sleep, Slow, and Sap on all your characters like every second(Sleep is
the main spell they cast!), which lets Mateus float around freely
attacking and killing your characters. After a couple of mins of
irritation of having my characters being put to Sleep and killed, I
grouped as many of the Ice Azers around Mateus as possible, and then
did a chain of quickenings, killing like 4 of them as well as taking a
good portion of Mateus' HP. Also watch out for Mateus' special ice
attack which does a lot of damage to your whole party. Ice Shields work
well in this battle, so if you have any I strongly recommend to equip
them. If you want to take the rest of her HP, just switch up your
party(if the other party is not dead yet), and have them do their
Quickenings which should either finish Mateus off or have her down to
extremely low hp, which you can then take out easily.
After the fight you will obtain Mateus, The Corrupt. Then head up the
stairs and into the next room to watch a scene in which you will get
the Sword of the Kings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mt Bur-Omisace [5.2]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now head out of this place and use a teleport stone to go back to Mt
Bur-Omisace, or just take the long walk back there, and head back
inside the Temple for an easy boss fight.
Boss: Judge Bergan
3x Judges
HP: ~15,000
After the fight talk to the Acolyte walking around by the stairs
outside the temple to get the Stone of the Condemner. This item reveals
a secret passage back at the Stilshrine Of Miriam, where you can fight
and obtain the hidden Esper, Zeromous, but I recommend you do not
attemt this now, since Zeromous is extremelly powerful, and even if you
do 2 sets of like 15-chain Quickenings that won't get even half his HP.
So attempt this later on in the game. Anyways we have to now head to
Nalbina Fortress. The easiest way to get there is by teleporting
through the Gate Crystal, though I suggest heading to Rabanastre first
just to check everything that is new there, especially the shops.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rabanastre [5.3]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Check out the shops and buy what you need, and also head into the
Sandea to accept any new Mob Hunts that are available. There are alos
quite a few things you can do one of those things is a little love
quest, in where you can get a good bow.
Viera Lover:
Start off by going to the South gate, and talk to the Viera there. Then
head to the fountain area and talk to a man who is by the fountain. Now
go to the Gambit shop and talk to the Viera again there, then head over
to the Sandsea, and up the stairs to talk to her there again. Now go
back and talk to the man by the fountain, then return to The Sandsea
and talk to the Viera, and she will leave. Lastly head back to the
central section and you will see both of them together, just talk to
them and you will get your reward for uniting them together. The reward
is a Loxley Bow and 2x Hi-Potions.
Another thing that you can currently do, which involves an optional
boss in the game is getting the Windvane, in order to enter that
sandstorm part of the Westersands, which connects the Westersands and
the Eastersands. Anyways to start go to the Westgate, and talk to a
Green Bangaa there, then head to the fountain and talk to Cortez. Now
go to Lowtown, and Northon should be at the very northern part of it.
Northon will tell you where the windglobe is, so now just go to the
Westersands and dig it up, it is under one of those giant cactusus, in
the dead end area Northwest of Shimmering Horizons. Now go to the
Westgate(i think), and talk to the green bangaa there again, and you
will recieve the Windvane. Now if you want you can go into that
sandstorm area of the Westersands, and fight the Earthtyrant who is
really easy.
If you are doing some mob hunts right now, like the White Mouse or the
Orthos, the easiest way to defeat them is by casting reflect on your
party. Also in order to encounter Orthos, you have to have only females
in your party. You can also cast berserk on White Mouse, so he will
stop spamming his magic attacks on you, and you can beat him even
faster that way. In the Westersands, you can do the Marilith and Ring
Wyrm mob hunts, though Ring Wyrm gave me a really tough time.
If the Giza Plains is dry again for you, then you can do a few things.
First you can give the Toad Ring to the old lady in the Giza
settlement, and also the Ecculuptus flower to this other lady.
Anyways after your done with all of this, just continue to the
Mosphoran Highwaste. If you've been to Nalbina before, you can just
teleport there and go to the Highwaste straight from there.

Just keep heading North, and you should come to a resting are with some

Trail of Sky-flung Stone, you can attack a Weathered roch there, in
order to create a small shortcut to the Rays of Ashen Light. Anyways
just keep on heading north until you reach the Salikawood.

*Note - If you accepted the Mob Hunt for Carrot do not kill any
monsters in the Salikawood before you actually see it. Carrot can be
found at the Sun-dappled Path. Though I doubt you'll be able to beat it
at your current level.
Head North to the little platform withe the Save Crystal, and heal up,
then just to the next area. Search here around the Southeast area of
the map to find an Urn with a map of the Salikawood. Now go all the way
to the East and talk to the Moogle Boss and he will tell you that you
have to find his 9 missing Moogle workers who are all somewhere in the
Salikawood. Open up the minimap, and all those (!) marks are the
missing moogles you have to track down. So now lets get the fun
started, and track down these 9 moogles. After you find all 9 and go
back to the Gate, the moogles will finish their repairs and you will
now have access to the Phon Coast. Then talk to the Moogle Boss again
to get a pair of Quasmodo Boots.
There is something else we can do in the Salikawood right now. If you
head to the Northwest, you will get to a platform with a Gate Crystal
on it, so I suggest use it, and then head through the exit right next
to the Gate Crystal, where you will get into a boss fight.
Boss: King Bomb
x Bomb
King Bomb has low HP, but can hurt you, if your not careful. It casts
fira a lot so its good to have some flame shields, and after you get it
down to like half hp it will start summoning a lot of bombs. If you
don't kill it after a while it will use a skill to replenish all of its
hp, so after you get it down to like half hp just use a lot of
quickenings to finish it off. If your having any trouble with it, just
exit the area and use the Crystal to recover, then just come back and
start all over.
Killing King Bomb will open up a pathway to the very Northwestern parts
of the Salikawood. Also if you accepted the Braegh Mob Hunt, it can be
found in the Corridor of Ages, the very Northwestern area. Anyways
just continue to the Phon Coast, the very Eastern exit of Salikawood.

The Phon Coast is a very large area with easy monsters that give good
exp, so if your at low levels, this place should be a good place to
level up. When you enter there will be a Save Crystal, so use it and
then head to the next area. Just keep heading Southeast and you'll
witness a scene. Buy a map of the Phon Coast from the Cartographer's
Guild near the Northwest exit and then just use the Gate Crystal here
and check out the shop. There is also a board here where you can check
out some Mob Hunts. Anyways just head Northeast, till you reach a Save
Crystal, then exit into the Tchita Uplands.

forced into a boss battle.
Boss: Mandragora Prince
Alraune King
Onion Queen
Pumpkin Star
Topstalk
HP: ~6,000-10,000 each
This will be an extremely annoying boss fight. They will constantly mob
your characters killing them very quickly. Aside from that they do this
attack where they inflict Slow, Sap, Poison, Blind and Sleep to your
characters. They will run away from time to time to heal themselves and
cast Protect and Shell on each other. My best recommendation for
winning this fight fast and easy is to group them together and unleash
as many Quickenings as possible to kill more at once. The only monster
here that might give you some trouble is the Onion Queen, when I fought
her all my attacks missed and magic attacks did barely any damage, so I
had to recharge my MP and give a couple Quickenings just for her.
If you want you can go back to the boy and get your reward, he will
give you 1000 gil and 3 remedies (He should have given us 1000 gil for
each monster!). That is if you dont mind walking all the way back
there. Anyways just take one of the doors in the room of the boss
fight, and proceed North to the Save Crystal. The Save Cyrstal is
actually a Crystalbug, so you should puit reflect on all your
characters, since it casts a lot of magicks. After you defeat it, the
real Save crystal will appear, so use it and then proceed to the exit
in the East. In this area, the Mirror of Souls map, to the East there
is an Urn with a map of the Sochen Cave Palace, so don't miss it. There
is actually a hidden chest you can get in this area, but you have to do
a little puzzle to get it. This is how:

S -> 5S -> 1S -> 1N -> 4N -> 4S -> 2S -> 2N -> 3N -> H
-If you follow in this order, you should get messages telling you the
waterfalls have changed, and in the end the waterfall which blocks the
central bridge will disappear.
-Enter to H for your treasure, you will get either Koga Blade, Iga
Blade, an Elixir, Dark Matter or gil.
(I got an Iga Blade when I did this, so I don't really know about the
other things you can get)
After that's done with exit to the Destiny's March area from the East,
there is another puzzle we can to here.
Refrence map of Destiny's March:
_[2]_ The numbered area is the diaginal which
/ | \ makes up most of the map. Enter this area
[3]___|___[1]---/ from the East and enter [1], and then
\ | / | move to each of the others in a
\ | / | clockwise motion like this:
-[4]- | [1] -> [2] -> [3] -> [4]-> [1]
/ \ ____| After doing this you should get a message
__/ \/ \ \ saying a door opened up somewhere.
| \ / | \
Anyways exit this area to the North, and get ready for a boss fight.
Boss: Ahriman
Hp: ~60,000-65,000
This should not be a hard fight, since this boss doesnt't have that
much HP. Just hack away at it, and heal regularly. Ahriman can poison,
immobolize, and Confuse your characters. Aside from that it goes around
the room making clones of itself, which disapear after a little while.
I'm sure if you chain a bunch of Quickenings at the very beginning with
all 3 of your characters having full MP, then I would say you could
come close to killing it, or just leave it with a little bit of hp
left.
After the fight, just head on the one way path, and at the end of it,
activate the lift to go to the upper level. Here use the Gate Crystal
and then finally get out of here to watch a scene.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Old Archades [5.9]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here there's a shop merchant, selling an extremely valuable accessory,
the The Embroidered Tippet! The accessory gives you double the exp from
monsters, letting you level up a lot faster. I highly suggest you buy 6
of them (30,000 gil) and equip one to all of your characters. *Note: if
you have the 6 Golden Amulets I recommended you to buy before, equip
those to the characters not in your current party, so while the active
3 characters get double exp, the inactive 3 characters get double LP at
least (inactive characters don't get exp!). And if you switch up your
party, just switch up the accessory equipment for everyone (Yes it's
annoying to do this but at least your characters benefit a lot in the
long run).
Anyways just head all the way to the end and talk to the gaurds, only
to be rejected. You will then enter a scene with Jules, so jus pay him
the 1,500 gil and go find a guy named Beasly. After that go find Jules
and talk to him, and you'll find yourself in Archades.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Imperial City of Archades [6.0]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In tech shop is Cartogropher's guild for maps of Tchita Uplands and
Archades.
July in Magick Shop will give you Salamand Halcyon
Head South to the cab, and view a scene, Jules will come to your rescue
again, so pay him 2500 gil this time. Now we have to go and do some-
what of a match-making thing to get ourselves some Pinewood Chops.

second option, the one Jules told you to pick, and you'll be taken to

This place is a bit like a maze, so just navigate around and exit to
the elevator to the North, and take it to the 67th floor. On the 67th
floor head to the Northeast room and enter for a quick scene, in which
you will obtain the Lab Access Card and a map of Draklor Laboratories.
The map will now be scrambled, and the adjecent room, Rm 6704 has a
Save Crystal in it. Go into room 6703, and you can change the bulkheads
here. There are some chests to the room in the Southwest, but you will
have to change the bulkheads a few times. Anyways just head back to the
elevator and take it to the 68th floor.
As you enter go to room 6803, and change the bulkheads here. You will
now have to move in a counter clockwise motion, going to room 6804 next
to the west of the elevator, and then to room 6811 in the very
Southwest. Also be advised that some of the other rooms contain enemies
in them. After room 6811, just head to the next elevator and take it to
floor 70. Go around the corner to room 7002 and get the treasure here
in which you can get either a Pheasant Netsuke, an accessory or a
Hestega Mote, then Save up before heading up the stairs for a boss
fight with Balthier's dad.
Boss: Doctor Cid
4x Rook
HP: ~60,000
This will be a hard boss fight. This is primarily due to the 4 floating
Rooks around him, who will cast protect, shell, regen, and heal Cid, as
well as shoot lasers at you. Your first objective is to take down all
four of the Rooks before actually defeating Cid. Second the battle
starts have your characters chain a lot of Quickenings to do some
damage to all the enemies. MP doesn't really help you in this battle
since the Rooks can drain all of it straight from your characters, but
you will need at least a bit of it later to heal some. Mostly just use
healing items and if you should have Charge technick on all your
characters if you want some more MP. Bring in your second party and do
all of their Quickenings. The battle gets harder after only 2 Rooks
remain, so take them out ASAP! After all the Rooks have fallen, just
keep attacking Cid and he should go down easy.
After the battle watch the long chain of scenes, and you'll find
yourself at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Balfonheim Port [6.2]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Check out all the new stuff in all the shops, though I think it's all
really expensive. If you go to the Tavern and check the board, there
will be 6 new Mob Hunts you can accept, and the petitioner for one of
them is right in that Tavern. Anyways just head to the Northeast where
there is a Gate Crystal, and one of the Cartographer's Guild selling
maps for Cerobi Steppe and Balfonheim Port. In this area the man on the
Chocobo will sell Teleport Stones and Gysahl Greens. Just use the Gate
Crystal to teleport to you next destination, but at this point I
suggest to take some time off to do a lot of the side quests, Mob
Hunts, get some of the hidden Espers, getting any of the rare loot and
bazzar weapons, etc. Anyways head to the Faywood, to continue through
the story line. To get to the Feywood you can either go there through
the Golmore jungle or the Paramina Rift.

The best way to get here is to teleport inside the Golmore Jungle and
exit to the South of it into the Feywood. Almost all of Feywood, the
map will not be viewable so you should be pressing the Select button a
lot. The map for this area is in the north of Walk of Stolen Truths.
Anyways just head south and you should get to a small area with a save
crystal. When you walk up to the Mist and it'll disappear. Proceed for
a boss fight.
Boss: Rafflesia
This boss will constantly drain your MP until your characters have 0
MP, so I suggest just using Quickenings at the very begining of the
battle. Aside from that this is a very easy fight. Be sure to cast
dispel on it and then just hack at it for a minute and it'll die. It
can also cast some bad status effects such as disable, sap, disease,
confuse, poison, and some others on your characters, so be sure to heal
that. After the fight you can just run back to the save crystal and
recover.
Continue heading South until you get to the first area with some star
shapped circles. What you have to do is just step in the center of them
and move the camera on each window, until you see like a different
picture, and that is the way you should head. Do this for all of them
and it should lead you to the next area in the Southwest. Here is a lot
like the previous area. If you dont want to do the whole thing with the
circle area, i'll just tell you that the gate to Giruvegan is in the
Sothwest corner. In order to open this gate JUST SUMMON BELIS "THE
GIGAS," and proceed to Giruvegan.

Head over to the Gate Crystal and save up, then just use the Way
Stones, and you wil lend up in a boss fight.
Boss : Daedalus
This fight will be a bit harder than the previous boss. This boss will
mostly just attack and from time to time do a an Ice Crystal attack on
your party. Just keep attacking him and heal regularly. When you get
him down to low hp he will go crazy and combo your characters to death
so be sure to use Pheonix Downs or Raise. Finish him off and a Way
Stone will appear.
Use the Way Stone, and you will be in a dungeon area. This will be a
little annoying so prepare yourself. In order to open up those barriers
there are switches around, so you will have to locate the switches
first, and those are usually gaurded by 2 Mythril Golems. Just keep
heading down the ramps, until you get to what looks like a dea end,
whihc is really not, so just walk off the ledge into the invisible path
to the next area. This area is a lot like the previous one, so just
activate the switches, and head all the way down the ramps, to another
ledge that looks like a dead end, so just head to the next area over
the green walkway. Save at the Crystal here and then continue to the
next area. Find the platform in the middle and continue straight ahead
for a boss fight.
Boss: Tyrant
This boss fight is a tough battle because Tyrant has tons of HP,
relentlessly attacks and uses really powerful magicks. In this battle
you won't be able to use any Technicks either. Start off by casting
Dispel on him, and then have all your characters cast Haste and Protect
on each other (preferably before the battle). Just keep attacking him
and use Quickenings if you want to (Quickenings won't do that much
damage anyways to him), and heal/raise anyone when you need to. Also be
sure to constantly be aleart in your hp and recast protect and haste
when it wears off. The boss mostly just attacks and uses Blizzaga and
somtimes Darkga.
After the battle a Way Stone will appear so use it to continue to the
The Great Crystal.

You'll eventually get to a platform with with a Way Stone on it and a
Save Crystal, so save up since a boss fight is comming up.
Boss: Shemhazai
This boss is actually your next esper. Be sure to buff yourself up
before and during the fight and cast dispel to remove his Haste. This
fight is actually really easy, he will mostly attack your characters
and from time to time casts Flare and Silencega. When you get him down
to really low HP, you'll notice that your makin barely any damage to
him, but don't worry just have a little patience and you'll kill him.
After the fight you'll get him as your next esper. Just continue to the
next room and use the Empyrean Way Stone there, and then view a long
scene in which you will receive the Treaty-Blade. Touch the Way Stone
again and you'll be at the entrance of Giruvegan. Head back to the Gate
Crystal and teleport to Balfonheim Port.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to the "X" on the map and talk to Manse Watch there, which will take
you to Reddas and have you view a scene. After the scene Reddas will
join you as a guest character and your next destination will be known.
And you will also get the Strahl back, which awaits you in the
Aerodrome.
*Note*: Now that you have Reddas, this is a really good time to do most
of the Mob Hunts in the game, since you have an additional person. Also
some mob hunts will already provide you with an extra ally, so along
with Reddas, you could have 5 people fighting that mark!!!
Anyways do any extra things that you want, and after that head to the
Aerodrome, and take the Strahl to the Ridorana Cataract.

are a lot of traps on the ground, so i advise to use Float. Just keep
heading Northwest, to the Lighthouse area, and prepare for a boss
fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pharos at Ridorana [6.8]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Hydro
First of all, cast Dispel to stop his Haste, and you can even Slow him
down. Once he get slowed, he would be slow for the entire battle, so
make sure you had successfully send him Slow status as early as
possible. The boss can send you Sap, Disease and more bad statuses, the
tail has Poison tough, prepare the items or Esuna to cure these
statuses. Use your Quickenings before it has hit your MP away, just
make sure you have enough of healing items after you spent your MP. Set
one character stay behind for healing and support the spells
when necessary. Hydro is like Daedalus, the boss that you fought in
Giruvegan, you can use healing spell to deal damage on him, but only do
this if you have enough of MP, or else you better save the healing
spells for your own team. Also remember don't use Dark elemental attack
on this boss.
After defeating the boss, get close to the entrane to trigger a scene,
then will enter the pharos automatically.

Keep defeating monsters here so that they will drop Black Orbs, and you
need like 3 in order to activate the altars in the central circle area.
Also there should be an urn in the Southern area of the circle area,
with a map of this place. You would need to go through the maze areas
in order to get to the other sections on the circle area and to
activate the other altars. After you activate all the altars, head into
the most Eastern room, and you'll come out into a desert area, just
head Northeast, and u'll encounter the boss.
Boss: Pandaemonium
Cast dispel on him to get rid of the Protect and Shell. Just keep
attacking him, after a while he will put a barrier on himself, making
himself immune to physical as well as magical attacks. You should
consentrate on healing and defending, and the barrier will go away in a
little while, and then you can finish him off.
After the fight head back to the main hall, save up, and then use the
Way Stone to be transported to the next area.
In the next few areas, you will need to defeat all of the Brainpans in
order to form the green walkway and proceed to the other sides.
Also as a note on floors 26 and 35, there are hidden treasures, where
in order to make the walkways for them, you will need to defeat lots of
Deidars, who look a lot like the Brainpans, and can be found on the top
floors. On floor 26 it is a Holy Rod, and on the 35th floor, the first
chest contains a Duel Mask, and the second inner treasure can contain
either a Zeus Mace or Muramasa.
Anyways just keep heading all the way up, until you get to a Save
Crystal area, in whihc you should save. Head to the top floor, and get
ready for a boss fight.
Boss: Slyt
Just keep attacking it and healing. If you have good Fire magick, then
use it. This boss is fairly easy and should go down fast.
After the battle, open the door in front and then use the Way Stone in
the end to get to the Second Ascent.

In this section, use the Save Crystal at the far back part of the room,
and then chose your altar wisely. Each altar will disable a certain
ability. The altar to North-West seals magic, South-West seals normal
attack, South-East seals mini map, North-East seals items. I really
suggest to seal the mini map, since you can easily refer to the whole
map with the select button. Head through the door opposite that altar
that you chose, and head upo into the next area.
The map to the Second Ascent is in the Station of Suffering, in the top
left corner.
Here is the way you should go:
61F, just reach South-West corner to next floor.
62F, the stair to above in South-East corner.
63F, move to North-West, hit the wall there will see the passage to
next floor.
64F, a Save Crystal here, the way to following level at South-West.
65F, go forward to the door, choose second option to enter for a boss
fight.
Boss: Fenrir
At the start of the fight, cast Dispel on him. This really isnt a hard
fight. Have your characters buffed, and consentrate on attacking and
healing when needed. There is also actually a cheap quick way to kill
him off, but requires lots of MP. First you would have to kill off
Reddas, and set your gambits for your party Foe: Nearest Visible - Bio,
instead of attacking in order to do this trick. First cast sleep on
him, and then just let your characters continue casting Bio on him. The
reason to kill off Reddas is so he wouldn't attack and Fenrir won't
wake up. If he wakes up just cast sleep on him again, and have your
characters continue with the casting of Bio, and he should soon die.
Anyways just continue to the 66th floor, and unseal the altar that you
sealed on the 60th floor. On the top floor, save up and take the Way
Stone to the Third Ascent. Also be sure taht you have lots of vaccines
and the Arise magick, for the next area.

In this section, you must choose the right medallion in order to reach
the upper levels, if you took the wrong one, either you will be warped
back to the previous area or 79F. The monsters in 79F are very
annoying, you might need alot of time and items for this fight, and you
have to defeat certain amount of these monsters to unlock the ancient
door. Also the map to this area is on the 79th floor, so get it if you
want, but i dont thin going through very long and difficult battles is
worth it. Just follow the steps below to safely reach your destination.
80F, take the Black medallion
81F, head to South-East, you're able to hit the wall (Fool's Facade),
just hit it away run into the secret area, inside there is a Green
medallion, use it to 83F. On the secret area way to Green medallion, a
random treasure with Rubber Suit might appear, but beware of traps.
83F, evade some traps here. Go hit the wall to outside, take the Red
medallion.
84F, make sure you take the treasure behind the two Aeronites, it's a
Circlet, which is a really good headgear, and you can equip it till the
end of the game. Now here you have to remember the color of the altar
that you sealed in the Second Ascent, and you have to pick the
medallion with that same color.
86F, go North and hit the wall there, inside there you can find a
medallion, use it to get to the upper level.
88F, Here, just take the lift to the 90th floor and get ready for a
boss fight.
Boss: Hashmal
Make sure you set your Gambits to heal Disease with Vaccine. Dispel his
protection and Haste whenever he casts. Use Arise for the KO'd
characters, and Vaccinces on any character that gets Diseased. The boss
will also send you Slow effect from his Quakeja, so just use Haste to
recover it. After his Quakeja, just use Curaja to reheal your party.
When his life is down to 20%, he will build the full barrier which
block all attack and magic, while waiting for the the barrier to
disapear, heal and cure you characters, prepare to finish
off him after his barrier has gone.
After you defeat him, you will get Hashmal as your next esper.
Now on the 90F, run up to 92F to watch some events. After that, head up
to the 98F for a Save Crystal, you're going to have some tough fights,
so make sure to cast all the support spells on your team and save your
game here. Continue on, and use the Way Stone in the end to watch some
scenes.
Boss: Gabranth
HP: around 60,000
This is quite easy, cast Dispel at the beginning of the battle before
anything. Just use normal attacks to take him down. He has a move,
which is quite powerful, but it only targets one character. If you want
to beat him really fast, just cast Berserk on like two of your party
members.
Boss: Doctor Cid
HP: 90,000
Boss: Famfrit
HP: around 160,000
First of all, Dispel all his support spells, recast Haste on your party
when necessary. After getting down Doctor Cid's HP to half, he will
summon an esper, Famfrit. Now you can't hurt him, but he still
attacking you, you should focus on the esper first, take it down as
soon as possible, and then only will you be able to fight Cid again.
His esper is around 160,000 HP, make sure you heal your character all
the time, and watch out for the Wateraja which deals around 1,000
damage to all your characters. Also Dispel his esper when he casts any
support spell to it. Fire elemental deals slightly more damege to the
esper since it's a Water elemental. Just keep your party over 50% HP,
and watch out for Cid's special shooting moves. After finish off the
esper, focus to your main target, becareful his special attack which
can damage all your characters.
After those 3 consecutive bosses, you will get Famfrit, and then just
watch the scenes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Balfonheim Port [7.2]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will end up back here after the scenes, and you won't have Reddas
in your party anymore. Now this is the part of the game right before
the very last section of the game, and you should get anything you
missed, do any side quests, mob hunts, get espers, etc. If your looking
for any magicks that you havent gotten yet, check every single shop in
the game, since new magicks will appear in places you dont really think
of, such as Ardor(the second best magick in the game) in the Barheim
Passage. I suggest also, if you want some good weapons and armor to do
lots of loot hunting, to get all those good bazaar items, though if
you're trying to get Tournesol, its a giant pain in the ass getting all
the items, and took me like at the least 10 hrs to collect all items.
And if you are going loot hunting then I also suggest to have all the
Grimoires and the Canopic Jar.
Note: Once you proceed to the final stage, there is no comming back!!

After some scenes, take either bulkhead to the next area. Defeat some
enemies in the passage, but they're unlimited, so just keep running
when you have the chance of escape. Take the middle path from the
junction to leave the current area. Next section, run down the circle
area and cross it as soon as possible, only kill the enemies who're
really blocking your way. Reach to the elevator area, examine the panel
for a scene.
Boss: Gabranth
Cast Dispel to stop his Haste. Not too tough, just the physical attack
battle. Cast Regen and Protect to your characters, use Berserk or
Bacchus's Wine if you want, but don't use to all characters in once.
When his HP is down to half, he will fully restore his HP and change
some little fighting style, nothing much different actually, just leave
an ally with a Gambit to heal when anyone down to 50% HP. You can send
him Blind and Slow for an easier fight, but you should know this status
effect will miss for sometime. Also use Expose skill if you have. I
thought this boss fight was really easy, and i defeated him in only a
few minutes.
After that, prepare for another boss fight, cast all support spells on
your party. Operate the panel when you're ready.
Boss: Vayne
Larse will help healing your character, so you can just focus on
attacking, but make sure to revive your characters if anyone is KO'd.
Dispel the boss when he has any support spells. Also recast the support
spells like Protect and Haste on your party.
Boss: Vayne Novus
Again, Dispel the boss at the beginning. You can see six flying weapons
around, you actually can destroy all of them. Since the weapons are
flying, you have to use range weapon or magic if you want to destroy
them. Slow does work on the boss. Beware his special attack which can
deal over 1,000 damage to the party, before he perform this move, you
can see the flying weapons will surrounding him. One way to kill him
faster is use Expose and normal attack, Berserk a character if you
want.
Boss: Immortal One/The Undying
Dispel his support spell first, also recast the support spells on your
party characters, always build Haste on everyone. This is the final
battle, no need to save your items anymore, just use the Elixir,
Megalixir, X-potions to heal, use Gil Toss if your got gil remaining.
Later, the boss will builds physical barrier or magic barrier randomly,
pay attention on your attacks. Perform your best Quickenings to send a
large damage, and make sure he is not in the physical barrier. Cast the
strongest spell when the physical attack barrier is builded. If the
boss in magic and physical barrier in the same time, the only thing you
can do is wait, and heal your characters.
After all these long battles, you have beaten the game, enjoy the
ending.
Personally I didn't think the ending was good at all, unlike some of
those from past final fantasies.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Barheim Key [7.4]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
First you must complete the Cactuar Mob Hunt in order to get the Cactus
Flower, and be at a certain point in the game, in order to initiate
some of these events. When I first did this quest, it was right before
I went to the Feywood.
Go to the Dalmasca Eastersand South Bank village. Talk to Tchigri to
initiate a scene and chose to accompany Tchigri to the North Bank. Just
watch the scene here and you'll head back to the South Bank. Talk to
Dantro's Wife and she'll tell you that she threw the flower out at the
back of the house, so go around and examine the flower, to find out
that Dran regrew. Now go talk to Tchigri to take you back to the North
Bank, and return Dran back to his family and he will give you 1000 gil
and A puch of Wyrmfire Shot. Just head back to Tchigri, and he'll take
you back across to the South Bank again. Talk to Dantro's Wife and
she'll tell you that this time she needs some Senclam Shells. These
area really easy to get, some are found right by the water in the South
Bank Village, and more in the Banks of Nebra, which is one map south of
this village. All you really need are the ones you find right in the
village, and give them to her. She will now tell you that she needs
some Nebralim, which she thinks Dantro has, so now head all the way
South to the Outpost. Talk to Dantro and search the crates for a phial
of Nebralim, and head back to Dantro's wife. Talk to her to give her
the Nebralim, and then she'll ask you to get her some Valeblossom Dew
which can be found all the way at the Northern map of the Eastersands.
Just cross the river again (BTW just avoid the Cockatrice thing for
now), and head all the way North. At the Broken Sands area, go to the
cliffs and check the flowers for some Valeblossom Dew, and head back to
give it to Dantro's Wife. Leave for a while and come back to talk to
the Recovered Traveler, and he will give you the Barheim Key!

The main objective to play this Mini-Game is for the Lu Shang's Badge,
which is one of the three badges needed to get the Wyrmhero Blade.

this Mini-Game.
-------------
Advancing
-------------
If you've completed Mysterious Man/Gilgamesh rank H Mob Hunt mission,
you would get Blue, Green, Red, Yellow and Black Bottle during the
