You'll be controlling Reks. A quick tutorial from Basch. Move the Camera Angles
with the Right Analog Stick. Secondly, use the Left Analog Stick to move toward
that Basch. Next, move toward the Dalmasca Soldier and talk to him. Further, go
get near the gate and press Circle to enter.
Upstairs, you will fight an Imperial Swordsman. At this point, you may also go
check the Party Menu with Triangle. Pressing Circle or Square would bring up
the Command Menu. Press Start will Pause the game and if you wish to end your
game, press Square after. If you hold down R2, that's Escaping. Next, pressing
Select would get you the Locate Map. L2 and R2 are to Zoom. Lastly, the Right
or the Left of the D-Pad would be displaying Target Info.
Enemy: Tiny Airship Remora
Move on and you will battle Remora. Attack or use Thunder if you wish. Keep on
attacking and stay out its area attack. Basch will use a Mist Knack to end the
battle.
After, continue on up. At this area, it looks a bit complex, but you can always
use the Locate Map/Select or the Map at upper right corner. There are quite few
enemies here, but you don't have to kill them all. Hold down R2 for Escaping.
Anyway, around here is an item, besure to get it. Continue on, and before you
go upstairs, go north to get another item.
Next area, get near the Save Crystal. Might as well save your game. Continue to
go up. Reks will fight 3 Imperial Swordsmen. Finish them off and move around to
get pass a door. Continue along the path for lots of scenes after.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be controlling Vaan, fighting 3 Were Rats. Finish them off. Asides from
the Equip option, you also get World Map added to the Party Menu. Anyway, talk
and explore around all you wish. But, you can't enter any Shop. You can also
find that Penelo at the northern part. Once you are ready, head toward southern
part to meet with Migelo.
After, you can enter all the Shops now and most of them are active. Anyway, you
are to go to the northern house, the Sand Sea Restaurant. After, you will get
the Clan Report added to the Party Menu, as well as the Oluakea Bangle. Tomaji
will then explain the License Board. Afterward, License will also be added to
the Party Menu. Lastly, you will get Tomaji's Form.
Exit out and press Select for the Locate Map. As you can see, the next place to
get to is at east, so then you can explore all other areas before going there.
The Martial Arts and Magic Shops should be available now, BTW.
There is a Gambit Shop at northern section but it's not ready yet. At the west
area of the northern section, there is a house you can't enter. Speak with the
Banga by the door and you will be in the Clan HQ. Speak with Monblanc and you
will became a member of the Centrio Clan.
The western section of Rabanastre is a Bazaar. If you are a Centrio Clan Member
then the Clan Shop here will sell you stuff. At the mid section of Rabanastre,
west and south gates are blocked. Don't head to the east gate yet. Around the
middle area, there is a Merchant. Speak with him and get the Requested Delivery
Article.
Once you are ready, toward the Imperial Soldier at the eastern gate. In this
area, speak with another Banga Merchant here. Give him the Requested Delivery
Article. There is also a Save Crystal here incase you need to save your game.
Exit out after.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rather big area you can explore here. You can train here a bit with the enemies
around. But, avoid the Wild Zaurus here. There are few items around, so besure
to get them. The north also leads to the Small Camp where you can rest for 100
Gil and more Gil lying around.
Enemy: Stray Tomato
Your goal is the Stray Tomato at the mid area of the desert. Reduce some of its
HPs then chase after it to finish it off. The thing to watch out for is that
flame attack. After, you will get the Galvana Flower.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speak with Kaitz by the gate. After, you are to get to Downtown. You can take
the stairs at east or north. Before that, you can also go pass the south & west
gates from the southern area. The southern area also got a Map Shop at NW. The
area after the south gate also got stairs to Downtown.
In Downtown, northern section, explore few ends to get items. There is a Shop
at NW and the Warehouse. A door within the Warehouse leads you back to the area
where Vaan fought with the Were Rats.
Anyway, head to the southern section of Downtown. Smaller area, and there are
couple items here. There is also a Shop at the middle. Afterward, go south to
get in Daran's Home.
Now, you are to exit out from the south gate of Rabanastre. If you haven't done
this yet, get back to Tomaji in the Sand Sea Restaurant for your reward.
~Texta
Check the Bulletin Board in the Sand Sea Restaurant. There should be one for
hunting down Texta. Speak with Gasli that's near to start this up. Now, go exit
out at the west gate. At the 1st area, Galtea Hill, from where are, run along
the left side. Make your way to SE. You will see this huge wolf. Beat it & go
back to Gasli in the Restaurant for your reward. Gasli will then move to the
Bazaar. Speak with him and check with the near Clan Shop for some Trade Goods.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have bought the Map of this area from the Map Shop, then you can press
Select and view the whole area. It looks rather big. Anyway, explore the first
area and go south.
There is a Shop here, as well as a Save Crystal. Speak with Mashua here. After
that, Penelo joins the party. After, speak with Kamina that's near. Anyway, go
exit out and Penelo will give you few items. An ally will also get the Battle
Menu in battle, and you also get Gambit added to that. If you wish to change
the Leader, Press Up or Down of the D-Pad to select the Leader, then just press
Circle.
Anyway, take your time and explore. Beware of the 2 Were Wolves at SW section.
Try to avoid them. The next place is the southern small area on the Map. Speak
with Jin there to get the Shadow Stone.
Now, you are to check out 4 Black Crystals that are displayed on the Locate Map
nice and clearly. Once you charge up the Energy to 100%, you'll obtain the Sun
Stone. Mashua will give you few items afterward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, go back toward Daran's Home. Penelo will leave the party. Speak with Daran
and you will get the Crescent Stone. Exit out and head to the northern section,
to the Warehouse to meet with Kaitz. You will get few more items from Kaitz. Go
take that door to move on.
Save your game. The right leads to an item and go left to move on. Take time to
explore, the paths are straightforward and just besure to use the Navi Map. At
the end, you will make it to the Rabanastre Palace.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get the Map and save your game. Through the door and go up. Toward the Guard by
the stairs then speak with the near Banga. Press Square to call the Guard to
come, then you can just run around to avoid him and get up the stairs.
Next area, similar to before, lure the guards to make your way around. The goal
is get around the middle area. The floor has the Lion's Crest. Use the Crescent
Stone. Now, go check the top left wall for a secret path. Go on and check that
wall at the end. Nothing happens, so check the other corner for a switch.
Through the door, you will get the Goddess Maseki/Nethicite. Continue to go up.
Balflear and Fran will join you at the end.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save your game. Go down stairs. Battle Member and Gambit will be added to the
Party Menu. Check the soldiers near and on to the next area. Next, get the Map
that's just around the corner. First stairs leads to item, the next stairs is
the path to advance. There are few items around, grab them on the way.
For the next few areas, rather straightforward, so just use the Navi-Map. You
will get to another Save Crystal. Go down from there and you will get to fight
5 Imperial Swordsmen. Amaria(Ashe) will also be assisting here. Speak with that
Amaria/Ashe. She will join you as a Guest Character. Move on after.
Enemies: Prin*4
You will end up fighting these yellow slimes. They are all weak against Fire,
so use that as your advantage. Gang up one after another.
Afterward, continue on and you will get to another Save Crystal. Save your game
and go through the door for another fight.
Enemy: Bush Fire
It's got quite a few HPs, but it's weak against Water. However, only Blizzard
is available at this point. Still, use Blizzard. With the right Gambit for Fran
and Balflear, you don't need to worry much about healing. The attack to watch
out from Bush Fire is the full party fire attack plus able to inflict poison on
you. Make the necessary curing after.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep in mind that you don't have any Equipment or Item. Explore around for few
items. Save your game and move on.
Enemies: Daguza, Garrido, Guich
No Equipment or Item for this fight, but it's rather easy. Take out one then on
to another.
After, move up to get back your Equipment and Item, as well as the Map of this
area. There is Item here as well, get them then go save your game. Move on and
as you can see, quite a few guards here. Fight them all if you wish. Explore
around and look out for items.
Continue on to the NW section. At the mid part, toward the door that's shown on
the Navi Map. After, through the door to go down to follow that Judge. Basch
will become a Guest Character at the end.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go down, more items at the corner. Move on and hit the near switch if you wish.
It doesn't work. Go save your game. Speak with the Banga to get the Fuse Tube.
Go back up and input the Fuse Tube. Go back down. That Banga can sell you stuff
if you speak with him again.
Anyway, press the switch near, to lift up the fence. As you can see, that uses
the Battery. To the next area. Try to take out any Battery Mimick you see on
the way. This is some long path to south, and there are quite few items around.
As you move on to south, there will be a path to a NW area. Confirm it with the
Locate Map and head there for a switch. The switch here reduces the Battery by
30%. Then continue to south.
Save your game and move on. Beware that some item box here is actually Mimick.
Anyway, make your way to SE. Eventually, you will get to another Save Crystal.
Enemies: Mimick Queen, Tiny Battery*4
Move on to the last area for the boss fight. Keep on attacking and reply on the
Gambit to heal. The attack to watch out is Thunder Burst which can damage the
whole party and inflict poison. Make the necessary curing after.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will end up here. Your goal is to get back to Rabanastre. But, if you wish,
you can explore around. Anyway, save your game. If you go north, it leads to a
camp area at the end. You can Shop and there is a Gate Crystal there. At the
southern area, the SW leads back to Rabanastre & lower south leads to the Giza
Plains. But, if you take the NE path, it leads to Nalbina Fortress. In there,
various Shops, Chocobo Shop and a Gate Crystal. Plus, a CG/Movie will appear by
entering the town of Nalbina Fortress.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone will leave the party. Go save your game. The Moogle here can instantly
move you to different parts of Rabanastre, pretty useful if you don't want to
walk.
Anyway, you can head to Migelo's Item Shop to meet up with Kaitz. Next, go to
Daran's Home. Speak with Daran and you will get the Dalmasca Sword in the end.
Head to the northern part of Downtown. To the western section to talk to Balzac
and at the end, Basch will join the party.
Now, head toward the Sand Sea Restaurant. Go in the Restaurant and head up to
2F. Both Balflear and Fran will join back the party. Before anything, let's go
do some Mob Hunting:
~Flower Saboten/Cactus
Check the Bulletin Board in the Sand Sea Restaurant. Exit out at the east gate
and at the first desert area, head to the Small Camp. Talk to Dantro in there &
go north from here. This area is the Ripples Maze, so just go around & look for
that Flower Saboten. I found mine around the middle area. Upon killing it, you
will get the Saboten Flower. Go back to speak with Dantro for your reward.
Now, speak with Dantro again. Open up the Map with Select. Your goal is to go
north all the way to another camp area. Speak with Dantro's Wife around middle
of the area to get the Thousand Needles.
Speak with Dantro's Wife again, she wants you to get some Sem Shell. Just go
check the shore in this place. Check the shiny dots for them. Back to the Wife
and she wants Nebrarin. Go back to speak with Dantro. Check the jars near the
Chocobo. Now, go back to speak with Dantro's Wife. Then you will need to get
Drop Of The Valley Flower. That's it for now.
~Wraith
Check the Bulletin Board in the Sand Sea Restaurant. Now, get to the northern
part of Downtown. Speak with Milha by the northern house to start this up. Now,
take the right door in the Warehouse to the Last Disposal Block of Garamscythe
Waterway. Go to the center of this area and it will show up. Go back to speak
with Milha for your reward. If you go in this house, check the table for some
note. The hint is East, South, East, East, South, West, South and East...
After, take the right door in the Warehouse to get to Last Disposal Block of
Garamscythe Waterway again. Take the gate here to the Central Control Block.
Save your game. As you can see around, all the fences that were here before are
now off, but most of them are still blocked by water. If you take the 4th one
from the left of the Map, you can explore around. Great King and Lizard are the
tough enemies here. Have Mist Knacks for all and combo them, or get lucky with
the Assassin Dagger weapon. They both can give decent exp. If not, avoid them &
leave here for now.
~Niwatoris/Chickens/Dodo
Speak with Monblanc in the Clan HQ. Head to the Giza Plains, go to the Nomads'
Settlement. Speak with Danya here. Go east and you will be in the Gizas Stream
Coast North Side. Clear all the enemies, exit and enter back this area. You can
now spot the Hinadoris and Niwatoris. Finish them off and get back to Danya for
your reward.
~Rock Titus
Speak with Monblanc in the Clan HQ. Take it & we will need to get to Bhujerba
first.
Besure to speak with Monblanc for some rewards afterward. Once you are ready to
move on, head to the western section of Rabanastre, to the Airship Terminal.
Within, speak with Balflear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit out and Ramon/Larsa will join as a Guest Character. Continue up and there
is a Map Shop. Most paths are blocked by guards, but you can get to few Shops
here. Just continue on till you get to the mine.
Within, go down. Continue on to the west. Eventually, you will need to head up
to north. Continue to go up and a fight.
Enemies: Ba'Gamnan, Fuwaji, Gijuu, Rino
You can run away but you can also try to defeat them. If you wish to fight, go
focus on Ba'Gamnan. If you do beat him, he will just run off. After, just head
back to Bhujerba.
Go toward the Save Crystal. Now, you can Appeal with Square, and try to raise
the Rumor Level. Appeal whenever you see people around and just raise the Level
to 100%. You can usually get a lot if you Appeal before a Bhujerba Guide. But,
don't Appeal in front of a Guard.
Afterward, you can explore the remaining parts of the town.
~Nidhog
Within the Restaurant, check the Bulletin Board to take this. Speak with Eicom
at the area before the Mine to start this. Go in the Luth Maseki/Nethicite Mine
and head to the middle area of the Map which is the First Transportation Route.
You should be able to spot Nidhog easily since it's pretty big. Go back to talk
to Eicom to get your reward. You also get the Orochi/Great Snake's Empty Shell
and don't sell that. We can give that to someone later.
~Rock Titus
If you already started this previously, then head to the west part of Bhujerba
to speak with Pilika. Go in the Luth Maseki/Nethicite Mine. Go up to the North
all the way, to the area called Second Mining Facility. At the big area where
you met with Ba'Gamnan, Rock Titus will be there. Go back to speak with Pilika
to get your reward.
After finishing the Mob, Rock Titus, you can trigger this. Speak with Pilika in
Bhujerba again. You will get the Tech Shop's Arm Band. Go to the Tech Shop. Go
check the Bookshelf for the Pilika's Diary. Read it or not, I don't think that
matters. Back to Pilika. You will get the Shepherd's Bolero if you pick the 2nd
choice/didn't read it, or pick the 1st choice/read it for Kilim-Weave Clothes.
Shepherd's Bolero is the better armor.
In Bhujerba, head to Stylus' Mansion which is around the middle of the Map. You
can talk with Nilei here. Go to the SE area of Bhujerba, the Sky Harbor, talk
to Elron here. You can try speaking to Nilei and Elron back and forth, but it
doesn't look like there is anything rewarding. If you can't trigger this, you
might need to come back later.
Once you are ready, go to the target location on the Map and go in to meet with
Marquis Ondore.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vossler will join as a Guest Character here and you will also get the Map. Save
your game. Avoid the lasers and make your way around. At the south most area,
the upper level got 2 paths to east and the lower level got a path to north.
Take either east path at the upper level, it leads to another area to explore.
Head up to north to turn off the Door Lock. Go through the near north door. In
there, another switch to turn off more Door Lock.
In this area, there is a path to go down around the middle. Go on toward that
target location for more fight.
Enemies: Judge*2, Imperial Swordsman*3, Imperial Mage
Just gang up on one then another. This isn't too hard. The Judges are the ones
that take a bit longer and you might want to get rid off that Mage first.
After, you get the First Guardhouse Key. Use the key to go through that door.
There are 4 rooms here, C-201 got the System Control Key and Save Crystal. The
C-203 is the Merchant/Shop. Room C-204 is empty, and C-202 is where Ashe is.
Ashe will join the party.
Now, go exit out and you will need to back track all the way to where you first
started in this area, which is all the way to west. There are too many enemies
around since you are in Warning, so you should just escape.
At the end, you will meet up with Larsa and Penelo. Vossler and Larsa will be
leaving, Penelo will join back and you will also get the Artificial Hamaseki/
Anti-Nethicite. Go on and time for another fight.
Enemies: Judge Ghis, Imperial Swordsman*3
Quickly take out the 3 Imperial Swordsmen. As for Ghis, just keep on attacking
and move away to heal when he tries to use Aero.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Bhujerba, back to speak with Marquis Ondore. Afterward, you will be here at
the Dalmasca Westsand. If you go west from where you are, you will be in the
Ogir Ensa. But before that, you can check out few things:
~Wyvern Lord
Back to the Sand Sea Restaurant in Rabanastre. Check the Bulletin Board to get
this quest. Go to the Weapon Shop in Rabanastre to speak with Shaluar to start
this. We will continue this once we get to Nham Ensa.
As for the Dalmasca Westsand, pretty big, like the Dalmasca Eastsand. Take some
time to explore around. The enemy to avoid here is the Dive Eagle. For the most
NE section, due to the strong sandstorm, we can't pass through yet. The SW also
got a path that leads to the Zeruthenian Cavern.
If you head into Ogir Ensa, Rabanastre, Giza Plains or Zeruthenian Cavern, then
wait and come back to the Dalmasca Westsand, there is a chance of the sandstorm
showing up. I usually enter the Zeruthenian Cavern then go back out to Dalmasca
Westsand. Anyway, when there is a sandstorm, there is another tough enemy known
as Spirit Gnome. Don't attack it unless you want to die.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue on and go up the structure. Go on and you will meet up with Vossler.
He will join as a Guest Character again. Continue on to go down. Take the west
structure to go up to get the Map. Open up the Map and it is pretty huge. The
road will eventually split into 3 paths. The SW leads to a Shop, Gate Crystal
and path to Nham Yensa Sandsea. The W leads to the Nham Yensa Sandsea as well.
The middle entrance of this area leads to Zeruthenian Cavern and that leads out
to the Nham Yensa Sandsea yet again. The NE entrance here leads to Zeruthenian
Cavern, another part of it.
Also, there is another tough enemy, Spirit Salamander. So, besure to avoid it.
I am taking the most west path.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save your game, speak with the Moogle here and on to the next area. Continue on
and you will see all the Wultan Yensa are ganging up on one enemy.
Enemy: Wultan Eater
Let the Wultan Yensa fighting along and focus on Wultan Eater first. It's just
got lots of HPs, not really hard to beat. After you beat it, you can go finish
off the Wultan Yensa around.
Afterward, go back to speak with the Moogle. Now, take the near path to go back
track to Ogir Yensa Sandsea. Go up the structure for a scene with Moogle and a
Wultan Yensa. Go after them. Afterward, speak with the Moogle. Check the flower
near and you will get the Exlo Seed. This will come in handy very soon.
Anyway, go on to explore this area. The Map is at the eastern part. As for the
south, it's got a path to another part of the Zeruthenian Cavern. Moving on, go
all the way to the most west area. To move on, go take the west entrance. But,
just before that area, you can go check out the north area from there.
~Wyvern Lord
At this north area, head to the north hill to spot the Wyvern Lord. After you
beat it, don't forget to get back to Shaluar whenever you have the chance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon entering here, the game will prompt you to save. Do so. Continue on and
you will get into a fight.
Enemy: Garuda
Use Exlo Seed. You pretty much just won. Keep on attacking till you kill it. If
you don't have the Exlo Seed, then this might be pretty hard. But, since the
Exlo Seed makes Garuda powerless, so no effort should be wasted here. Save up
for the upcoming ones.
After, go up and save your game. Check the Ancient Mechanism here to warp in.
Move on and a fight.
Enemy: Demon's Wall
Just run to the other door. It's hard to kill it now.
Enemy: Demon's Wall
This time, let's kill it. Go up and give it your best. Plain attacking should
be alright, but you can Mist Knack combo if you wish. Just besure to recover
bad status like Darkness.
After, if you wish to finish off the first Demon's Wall, then you can go back
track out, save your game and come back. You will get to fight the 1st Demon's
Wall again. Once you finish it, check the shiny object behind it. There will be
steps raising up at both sides. Save your game and take either side. The paths
will meet at the middle and there is the Evil Slayer. If you didn't get that
sword, reload your game or exit&enter back here to try again.
Anyway, continue on from where you beat the 2nd Demon's Wall. Go down and get
the Map first. If you need to go back out, you can take the south warp. Now, go
down from the left & right. They both got pedestals that you can check out and
the pedestal also reveal hidden path to move on.
Take that hidden path and continue to go down. Eventually, you will get into a
fight.
Enemy: Belias
Attack it with Water. The move to watch out for is its Firaja/Fire 4. You will
need to heal and cure the Oil status. Keep it up till you beat it.
Afterward, Summon Beast/Esper, Devil Belias, will be added to the License Board
then just go in the door and move on. You will get the Fragment Of Dawn at the
end. If you equip the Fragment Of Dawn, Mag Def goes up by 20, but your MPs
will be zero.
Take the warp nearby and back track out this tomb. Save your game. Go down and
another fight at the end.
Enemies: Vossler, Imperial Swordsman*3
Just let Fran do the work, you can assist.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will be in the Bazaar of Rabanastre. Let's do few things before moving on
to the Giza Plains:
~White Moose
Check the Bulletin Board in the Sand Sea Restaurant. Head to the western gate
and speak with the Teleport Moogle Solbe. Go to northern section of Downtown,
to the Warehouse and take the right door to the Garamscythe Waterway. The goal
is to get to the SW area, Western Water Regulation Block. However, this is real
hard at this point. You should try to take out any potential side enemies that
are around and narrow down to just the White Moose. Keep up healing and watch
out for the Waterga. Put up Protect and Shell if you need to. This will take a
long time. When it's near death, it will spam Waterga so besure to wrap this up
with Mist Knack combo.
Once you finish it off, you get the Broken Key. Get back to Solbe for reward.
Not only that, you will also get the Watergate Key. If you head back to the
Garamscythe Waterway, at the early area with the Save Crystal, you can use the
Watergate Key. There are 4 pedestals here you can mess with. Here are what you
need to do:
Make sure the 2 left ones are off and turn on the 2 right ones. From where you
are on the Map, go to the SE area to find a pedestal. Turn it on. Go back, you
then have the 2 right ones off and turn on the 2 left ones on. Like wise, from
where you are on the Map, go to the SW area to find another pedestal. Go back
and this time, have the 2 middle ones on. Save your game. You can now go down
to south, to the 1st Treatment Area. You get to fight a Summon Beast/Esper.
~Queklain
Since you can save before this, you should have already casted all the support
magic you want. You will likely to spend lots of items on this, like Phoenix'
Tail/Down, Panacea, Ether, Hi-Potion...etc You will need to heal constantly due
to the battle field here makes you lose HPs fast. Have Cura on Gambit for each
character. First of all, take out the side enemies. Once you did that, scatter
and attack with long range weapons. The rest is keeping yourself alive. But the
problem is that, Queklain has tons of HPs. To make this faster, spam Mist Knack
combo, as long as you have Ethers to spare. If you can't beat it, come back to
Queklain when you are strong enough.
Once you beat it, King Of Impurity, Queklain, will be added to the License
Board.
~Ring Dragon
Check the Bulletin Board in the Sand Sea Restaurant. Head to the northern area
of Downtown. Speak with Balzac at west. Teleport to the Dalmasca Westsand. Go
east to this area called Wind Ripple Ground. With sandstorm, you can see that
Ring Dragon walking around. Not THAT tough, but it's got way too many HPs. If
you can't move cuz the bad status, just equip long range weapon or cure. Put in
some time and you would beat it eventually. Get back to Balzac for the reward.
~Malilith
Check the Bulletin Board in the Sand Sea Restaurant. In here, speak with the
Bar Master. You are to go to the Zeruthenian Cavern from Dalmasca Westsand, go
there and at the first area, go south till you are at a bigger area with lots
of sunlight coming in. This is the place with 2 toads and a trap. Anyway, get
near and wait for Malilith to show up. Pretty fast and insane. Have characters
to cast Slow and hopefully that get him. Cast Protect on all and healing all
the time. Keep this up, recast Slow and Protect when you need to. Once it gets
down to low health, finish it off with Mist Knack combo.
Beating it will get you the Snake Wine Material. Get back to the Bar Master to
get the reward. Go to speak with Migelo. If you haven't checked with him all
these time, then after that scene, speak with him again. That's it for now.
~Orthros
Talk to Monblanc in the Clan HQ. Head to the northern part of Downtown. Speak
with the Seeq within the Warehouse. Go to the Garamscythe Waterway. Go to the
most south section of this place. You will need a female party to have it show
up. Since there is a Save Crystal near this area, you can go there, prepare the
support magic you need, save your game and then fight it. This isn't too hard,
Orthros just likes to inflict bad status a lot.
Beating it will get you the Stolen Item. Go back to that Seeq for the rewards.
You also get the Stained Fragment.
~Gilgame
Talk to Monblanc in the Clan HQ. Giza Plains, Rainy Season. I'll get to this
very soon at below section with Giza Plains.
~Kerogeros
Check the Bulletin Board in the Sand Sea Restaurant. Giza Plains, Rainy Season.
I'll get to this very soon at below section with Giza Plains.
~Enceladus
Check the Bulletin Board in the Sand Sea Restaurant. You will need to get to
Jehara, Land Of The Garif first. Further more when we get there.
Don't forget to speak with Monblanc for possible rewards.
In Nalbina Fortress, get near the Imperial Soldiers to the left for a scene and
rent a Chocobo here, then exit out. It's time to continue on the quest with the
wife of Dantro. Open up the Map with Select. Your goal is to go north all the
way to that camp area by the river shore. The Ship should be back now.
Speak with Chigri. Go with Chigri to the north shore. Go up and speak with that
Luxera. Back at the south shore, speak with Dantro's Wife. Now, just behind the
house that Dantro's Wife is by, check the Saboten Flower. It will come with you
so you can go back to the north shore. Go up toward the Sabotenda and get your
reward. If you wish, you can explore the 2 areas to north but the enemies can
be pretty strong. The most north area, Fractal Sandy Soil, got a path that lead
to the Mosphoran Highwaste. Not only that, Fractal Sandy Soil is also where the
Drop Of The Valley Flower is. That's the last item that Dantro's Wife wants. In
Fractal Sandy Soil, get near those flower and get the Drop. Get back to talk to
Dantro's Wife. You can hand over Orochi/Great Snake's Empty Shell to her if you
got that. Exit and enter back. Speak with Dantro's Wife. Just behind the house
that Dantro's Wife is by, talk to that Banga to get the Barheim Key.
South of where you are is a big desert area, but at the SE, there is a small
area. This small area is just a bit north of where you got out Barheim Passage
from before. Since you have the Barheim Key, you can go in there. Within, you
can save your game at the Gate Crystal. From the area just south of the Gate
Crystal, go west. There are 2 paths. Take the upper one. Enemies in here are
not that bad and you can just storm through this. Besure to cast Libra to see
the traps. Eventually, at the later bridge area, it might seem like a dead end.
But, you can actually knock down some object to move on. Go on and you will get
to a Save Crystal. Cast all the support magic you want, save your game and move
on. It is time for another Summon Beast/Esper fight.
Enemy: Zalhera
There is a 5-Minute time limit so that makes this even harder. Equip Guns and
attack in a distant, if you want to aim for Zalhera. If not, go after the side
enemies. Once you clear out the enemies, you can go attack Zalhera. The rest is
not that bad, heal and cure any bad status. The rest is just you against time.
When you are close there, finish the battle with Mist Knack before she uses any
potential deadly moves. If Zalhera uses instant death, set the Gambit to heal
with Phoenix Tail/Down. Remember that any HP-Healing magic/item can also attack
that Zalhera, as well as Holy magic which you probably don't have though.
Once you beat it, Angel of Death, Zalhera, will be added to the License Board.
The path behind will just take you back to the Garamscythe Waterway.
In Mosphoran Highwaste, there is a rest area with a Gate Crystal and a Shop.
Further NW of Mosphoran Highwaste leads to Salika Wood. There is another Gate
Crystal in Salika Wood. Pass that, you will fight Bomb King.
Enemies: Bomb King, Bomb*2
You are only around here for 'sightseeing', but you can tackle this if you want
to. There is a Gate Crystal before this, that means, you can cast Shell, Regen
and Protect on your characters, then check the Gate Crystal to heal the MPs and
save your game, then fight Bomb King. Bomb King heals few times, but he will
stop. The battle itself is mostly Mist Knack combo and heal MPs with Ethers. It
isn't really that hard when Bomb King stops healing. If you do beat it, besure
to speak with Monblanc for reward.
Beyond here, to the west, there is Nabudis which is a deadly place right now.
As for the north, it leads to the Nableus Wetlands which is also deadly. Enough
with the sightseeing for now. It will just way too dangerous if you are to go
to either of those place. Supposedly, a Summon Beast/Esper, Chaos, is within
Nabudis. It's probably not meant to be obtained right now.
Back in Rabanastre, to the West Gate. Speak with Limzatt. Now, go to central
area before the gates. By the fountain, speak with Katze. Head to the northern
part of Downtown. Norton is at the near SE of the Shop. After, head into the
Dalmasca Westsand. To the Wind Ripple Ground. That's the area just east of the
west most area. Wind Ripple Ground has 2 sections, your goal is the SE section
which is entered from the southern area. Anyway, in there, check a Haou Saboten
and you will get the Wind Direction Ring. You can then get back to Limzatt. You
will get the Wind-Reading Compass at the end.
Save your game and you can now go through the NE area of Dalmasca Westsand. In
there, you will fight Earth Dragon. After you beat it and you can go through &
this is another way to Fractal Sandy Soil for the request with Dantro's Wife.
Don't forget to speak with Monblanc for possible reward, such as for beating
the Earth Dragon.
Once you are ready, time to move on to Giza Plains.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Rainy Season)
Your goal is all the way to south/southwest, but before that, few things to do:
~Kerogeros
Go to the center part to the Settlement. Speak with Sardeen. As for Kerogeros'
location, it's at SW area of Giza Plains, near the bridge. BTW, it was raining
when I fought it. For beating it, you get the Frog Ring. Get back to Sardeen to
get the reward. Frog Ring is for later, when it's back to Dry Season. That's it
for now.
~Gilgame
Go to the southern most small area, that's got a Save Crystal. This's where Jin
was from before. Speak with Nanau here. You will get the Pot Of Silence.
For the secret location here, we first need to cut down 6 trees. By the center
of the map, you can cut a tree and it will flow to SE. A bit south from here,
cut down another tree and it flows to E. At the south most area, cut down one
more tree and it will flow to E. Further, at upper right of Giza Plains, go cut
down another tree and it will flow to S. At the north of Giza Plains, another
tree to be cut down, it will flow to S. Finally, one more in the Settlement and
it will flow to SE. Of course, head to the SE of Giza Plains. The logs has now
formed a path.
In the secret area, Bansato from the Monblanc Clan, will come to help. Exit and
enter back the secret area till the area is raining hard. When Gilgame finally
shows up, Bansato will tell you and time to fight it. Cast Silence to make the
battle easier.
After, go back to where Nanau was. Read the letter. Can't locate them right now
and let's wait till the Dry Season. You can also go back to speak with Monblanc
for possible rewards.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty big area if you wish to explore. The most east leads to Golmore Jungle
which you can't explore much due to the seals in there. From the first area of
the Ozmone Field, go south and check the middle part of this area, it leads to
yet another part of the Zeruthenian Cavern.
~Enemy: Adramelech
This time, Zeruthenian Cavern got lots of strong enemies. Meaning, there is got
to be something at the end. Yes, indeed, the Summon Beast/Esper, Adramelech, is
at the end. But, it's hard to fight it now and it is Flying Type. You can come
back when you are tough enough. But if you insist on fighting it now, you might
have a chance if you spam Mist Knack combo and use quite a few Ether to cure
MPs. Set Gambit to heal with Hi-Potion when HP<70%. Keep your HPs high because
Adramelech can deal lots of damage with the special move. That's the main thing
to worry about. The rest is keep on attacking or use Ice magic. Adramelech also
got some bad status, so prepare some Panacea.
Afterward, the Raging Sacred Emperor, Adramelech, will be added to the License
Board.
Moving on, go down to south/southwest and take the west path to Jehara, Land Of
The Garif.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nearby, there is the Map Shop, Chocobo Shop and Gate Crystal. Speak with one of
those Garif Soldiers. Continue on to the west and speak with Spinel. Go on to
the western area.
~Enceladus
Go to the north part of this western area to speak with Shugum to start this.
We will get this Mob soon.
Anyway, toward the Garif Soldiers and go in to meet the Eldest. Larsa will come
and join as a Guest Character again. If you wish to exit out, take the Chocobo
since it's free for this one time.
~Enceladus
Clear all the enemies at the SE area of Ozmone Field. Exit and re-enter back.
Enceladus will show up. You get the Elumonea Leaf for beating it then get back
to Shugum for the reward. Keep the Elumonea Leaf since we can give that to some
one in the future.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just head to the east on the Ozmone Field. Within the forest, toward the most
E/SE and you can take the secret path.
Within the village, nearby there is a Map Shop and a regular Shop. Head up all
the way to north to meet with Yote. Now exit out the village. Exit out Golmore
Jungle.
Back at the Ozmone Field, at the area with the Save Crystal, go to speak with
that Imperial Soldier. Give him a Potion. Talk to him again and get the Chocobo
from him. From this area, go to the near west area/Wind Waving Plains. In this
area, there is a secret path near a Chocobo here. It's to south and it isn't
shown on the Locate Map. You will end up at the most south part. Move to south.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move on and shortly, a switch on the way. Hit it. Move on and there is another
switch. You can ignore it and go right, but if you hit it, the paths lead to
areas with the Map.
With the Map, it shall make this easier. Go all the way to the east most area
for another switch. Afterward, go on to N/NE. There is a Gate Crystal, so save
your game. Go north for a fight.
Enemy: Tiamat
You should have casted all the support magic you need. Go up and attack. Keep
up your healings and you should be fine. Breath and bad status are the main
problems, just prepare some Panacea to cure after.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will be back in Erut & obtain the Tear Of Lente. Back to Golmore Jungle.
You can go through the seals now, so you are free to explore. There are 2 ways
to move on:
~Path 1
Head to the east of Golmore Jungle and you will fight Elder Dragon on the way.
Enemies: Elder Dragon, Trent*2
Take out the 2 Trent ASAP. Now, the boss here likes to do bad status, so besure
to cure a lot here. Prepare some Panacea for the boss' special move, plus the
spell Esuna also can help if you've got that. Try to attack by using long range
weapons. Once it's low on HPs, it will start using FireBall. Wrap it up with
some Mist Knack combo. After the battle, go east to the Paramina Cliff.
~Path 2
Or, you can go south from the Golmore Jungle to the Feywood. In there, the West
gets you to another part of Hene, South is a Save Crystal, but the NE leads to
the Paramina Cliff as well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty big area to explore, the most south leads to the Stillshrine Of Miriam
which we will go there soon. Once you are done exploring around, head to NE.
Within Bur-Omiseis, there are Shops and a Gate Crystal. Go north all the way to
meet with High Priest Anastasis and Al Cid. Larsa will leave the party. You are
to go to the Stillshrine Of Miriam. As said above, it's at south most of the
Paramina Cliff.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within, equip the Fragment Of Dawn that you got from Raithwall Tomb. Check the
central object. Unequip it. Continue on and go up. Eventually, another object
and equip the Fragment Of Dawn again. Check it & unequip the Fragment Of Dawn.
Back track to the previous area. Take either stairs down. They both lead to a
Live Crystal. Check it and beat it. It will become a Save Crystal. Save your
game. Moving on. The Gate is locked but check the other side for a HUGE sword.
Check it and the gate will open. Check the object here to get back to the first
area.
Now, take either path down. Both paths lead to statues, you will need to turn
them so they face the middle. Meaning, the one at West needs to face East and
the one at East needs to face West. Also, there is another one at South so that
one should face North. At the East area, before you get to the statue, a fight
awaits you.
Enemy: Vinuscalar
It has weak defense, but also cast bad status like Slow, Break. Just cure and
cast Haste. It uses Sword Dance near death, so either keep your HPs high or do
Mist Knack combo before he uses it.
After, back to the first area. The Sword will be lifted up and you can now go
under to move on. Check the object at north. Before you go under that sword to
move on, go save your game at the Save Crystal and besure to cast all support
magic you need. Through the door is another Summon Beast/Esper fight.
Enemies: Mateus, Ice Aze*5
Use Thundara to get rid off the Ice Aze fast. After that, attack Mateus with
normal attacks. You gotta keep your HPs high cuz Mateus' Blizzaraja can deal
decent damage and cause Slip status. To quickly wrap this up, use Mist Knack
combo as usual.
After, Emperor Of Immorality, Mateus, will be added to the License Board. After
that, go on to the last room. You will get the Tyrant's Sword. Like Fragment Of
Dawn from before, you can also equip the Tyrant's Sword.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit out Stillshrine Of Miriam, save your game and come back to Bur-Omiseis.
Go back to the Room Of Glory.
Enemies: Judge Belga, Judge*3
Take out the 3 Judges that are behind you. Put up Protect, Haste and Regen. For
the Gambit, have Hi-Potion as usual for anyone with HP<70%. Keep on ganging up
on him, move away from magic like Aero then heal in the meantime. Use some Mist
Knack combo to finish him off fast.
After, you are to get to the Mosphoran Highwaste. But before that, quite a few
things to do right now:
In Rabanastre, at the south gate, speak with a Viera. Talk to the Viera again
in the Gambit Shop of Rabanastre. Go to the Sand Sea Restaurant. Head up to the
2F to speak with that Viera yet again. Go to the southern central/fountain area
of Rabanastre, speak with a Hume man by the fountain. Go back to that Viera in
the Sand Sea Restaurant. Lastly, back to the fountain area to speak with either
that Hume man or that Viera for your reward.
For the Dry Season in Giza Plains, wait at the South Gate of Rabanastre for 5
minutes, then enter. If not, repeat and try again. Go back to the Settlement,
you can speak with Nanau for the reward of beating Gilgame sometime ago. Also,
if you have beaten Kerogeros and got the Frog Ring, then talk to Chief Burnoa
to return the Ring. Further, if you have beaten Enceladus, then you have that
Elumonea Leaf. Give it to Regina in the Settlement. One last thing, speak with
Mashua here. You will get the Shadow Stone. Charge up the Energy, basically the
same as you did before to get the Sun Stone. Get back to Mashua once you have
made the Sun Stone, for some reward. You can speak with Mashua again & do this
again, if you wish.
Toward the Room Of Glory in Bur-Omiseis, by the stairs before Room Of Glory,
there is an elder that walks around. Speak with him to get the Condemn Maseki/
Nethicite. Back to the 1st area of Stillshrine Of Miriam. Go check the northern
object and use the Condemn Maseki. You will be taken to a secret area. Beyond
the door is a Summon Beast/Esper fight.
Enemy: Zeromus
Zeromus and the Dark Lords around can deal tons of damage. Another problem here
is that, Magic is sealed. This fight is definitely insane right now, we will
come back later.
Back in Rabanastre, there should be tons of quests you can take in the Sand Sea
Restaurant and the Clan HQ:
~Ixtab
~Choppa
~Bhopal Bunny
~Mind Flare
~Bloody
~Atomos
~Lobby
~Bly
~Trickster
~Antlion
~Carrot
