| |
| Vaan The Sky Pirate - The Glabados Ruins |
| |
| While exploring the Glabados Ruins, Vaan is soon separated from the others. |
| He must find his friends before they leave him behind! |
| |
| Red Flan - Gelatinous mass that attacks with a lunge of its fiery head. |
| Type: Melee Level: 1 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: Disable |
| |
| |
| !--Find Penelo, Balthier, and Fran; Vaan must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Vaan, Penelo, Balthier, and Fran |
| |
| Here we find Vaan wandering by himself. A flan approaches, and a tutorial of |
| the game begins. "You must get past the flan to proceed." Then the game |
| launches into details about controlling, moving, and attacking. Anyway, do |
| what it instructs. Vaan will be quite proud of his accomplishment of killing |
| the lone flan. Whatever. Next, find Penelo. She's straight ahead. You will |
| need to kill another flan first. Yay, we found her. The game will go on to |
| explain that Penelo heals only in this version and a short explanation about |
| handling multiple units. |
| |
| Time to find Balthier and Fran. You will have to kill THREE flans (=o!) Then |
| after a little bit more of walking Vaan finds them. They will enter together |
| and the mission is completed. Vaan and Penelo will level up. |
| |

Now we reach a cutscene. The crew has found some treasure. But oh noes, there's
trouble. Seems as though Ifrit decided to show up...

___________________
| 002 - Mission 0-2 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| The Treasures Twain - The Glabados Ruins |
| |
| Joined by Balthier and Fran, Vaan and Penelo reach the heart of the Glabados |
| Ruins. But something stands between them and the coveted treasure... |
| |
| Ifrit - Lord of Flame set to guard the Cache of Glabados. |
| Type: Melee Level: 1 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: Poison, Silence, Sleep, Confuse, Stop, |
| Slow, Disable, Gravity |
| |
| Djinn - Blazing spirit that guards the Cache of Glabados. |
| Type: Melee Level: 1 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: Disable |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat Ifrit; Vaan must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Vaan, Penelo, Balthier, and Fran |
| |
| Here we go. This battle is so easy you don't even have to do anything except |
| stand there. Ifrit will perform his trademark Hellfire move, which summons |
| up fiery columns for damage towards characters nearby. Nothing at all to |
| worry about though. This battle is over as soon as it started. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: N/A |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

After the battle our heroes quickly realize the whole place will soon cave in.
This leads to the separation of Balthier and Fran from Vaan and Penelo, and also
the beginning of the first chapter.

Prologue Complete!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
100 - Chapter One
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here we are introduced to Milo, Kytes, and Tomaj. Then a cutscene involving a
falling airship. Hmm. Sounds like mission time.

___________________
| 101 - Mission 1-1 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Eve Of Adventure - Rabanastre |
| |
| Treasure is all well and good for sky pirates, but it meas little enough |
| without an airship. And so Vaan and Penelo resume life as usual...until the |
| unusual happens. |
| |
| Sylph - Sylvan spirit for whom the winds are blades. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 1 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Garchimacera - Imp with a heart of mischief. |
| Type: Flying Level: 1 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Alraune - Irritable beast short of stature and temper. |
| Type: Melee Level: 1 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; Vaan must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Vaan, Kytes, and Filo |
| |
| Ugh, another stupid tutorial battle. Oh well. This is good practice. Now we |
| learn about all the different attack types and the "rock-paper-scissors" |
| relationship this game has. Attack the Slyph with Vaan, the Garchimacera by |
| Kytes, and the Alraune by Filo. They'll fall quickly. You pretty much don't |
| even have to do anything. Until more come in pairs of two. Then you simply |
| redirect your characters towards their respective enemies. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

It's straight from here to the next mission...

| 102 - Mission 1-2 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| The Coveted Derelict - Rabanastre |
| |
| A derelict ariship lands outside the gates of Rabanastre--a temptation no |
| self-respecting sky pirate can resist. After a brief skirmish at the city's |
| edge, Vaan plots a way past the watch. |
| |
| Sylph - Sylvan spirit for whom the winds are blades. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 1 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Garchimacera - Imp with a heart of mischief. |

| |
| |
| !--Sneak aboard the derelict airship; all allies must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Vaan, Kytes, and Filo |
| |
| Now we'll have a brief explanation of gambits. You can only assign one in |
| this game. Anyway, take out the Slyph. Next is a tutorial over area attacks. |
| Do as it asks. Note that if you walk over to the Giza Rabbits, they'll give |
| you a free heal. Finally a lesson is given about point-blank abilities, |
| which Filo just so happens to have. Hm. Kill the rest of the Alraune and you |
| should head over to the yellowish circle where the map's flag is. |
| |

Again you immediately proceed to the next mission after a brief scene...

| 103 - Mission 1-3 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| The Treasure Is The Key - Aboard The Derelict |
| |
| The interior of the derelict is no more inviting than the desrt outside. As |
| Vaan and the others battle within its fantastic confines, the Cache of |
| Glabados begins to glow. |
| |
| Sylph - Sylvan spirit for whom the winds are blades. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 1 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Garchimacera - Imp with a heart of mischief. |

| !--Reach the summoning gate; all allies must survive--! |
| !-- Capture the summoning gate--! |
| !--Summon three Espers--! |
| !--Defeat all enemies; all allies must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Vaan, Kytes, and Filo |
| |
| Simply defeat the enemies and reach the summoning gate. Equip Vaan and Kytes |
| with their respective gambits if you haven't already. A tutorial over the |
| summoning gates will begin. A new objective will appear. Press X and then |
| move the stylus over the gate. After that's taken care of Vaan will need to |
| summon three more Espers. So touch the gate with the stylus and summon them. |
| New enemies will appear; take care of 'em via help from the Espers. |
| |

The three mess around the airship some more. Well look who we ran into...

___________________
| 104 - Mission 1-4 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Unwelcome Guests - Aboard The Derelict |
| |
| With the Cache of Glabados in hand, Vaan and his friends explore the |
| derelict's interior. Meanwhile, Penelo mistakes trouble outside the ship for |
| Vaan's work. Who's really behind it? |
| |
| Ba'Gamnan - Bangaa headhunter renowned for his skill and cruelty. |
| Type: Melee Level: 5 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Bwagi - If Gijuk and Rinok are the muscle, Bwagi is the brute with brains. |
| Type: Melee Level: 3 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Rinok - She makes fast work of those foolish enough to underestimate her. |
| Type: Melee Level: 3 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Gijuk - Fires off his mouth and his gun from a good safe distance. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 3 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat Ba'Gamnan, Bwagi, Rinok, and Gijuk; Vaan must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Vaan, Kytes, and Filo |
| |
| This battle can be hard for beginners. First of all you may summon one extra |
| Esper (I recommend the imp because all but one of your enemies are Melee). I |
| suggest taking care of Gijuk first (group your party to the bottom of the |
| screen where he'll go). After that, stay on top of resummoning your Espers; |
| and don't forget to use those handy abilities everyone has! If you're pretty |
| careful and swift everything should be fine here. |
| |

|______________________________________________________________________________|

For obvious reasons everyone leaves the room. Vaan takes off after Penelo and
Tomaj meet up with the rest. Ba'Gamnan seems to tag along too. Once they reach
the sky, a new chapter begins.

Chapter 1 complete!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
200 - Chapter Two
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Time to name the new airship. You can pick whatever you want. The default is The
Galbana. Then a tutorial will explain things about talking and shopping--just
interaction in general. Try it out now. Talk to Penelo twice to hear different
things. Then talk with Filo twice to take off.

Yay, another tutorial about piloting the airship. -_- This is in case you are a
total airhead who's never played a game ever. Once you land, a cutscene will
occur. It's off to a place called:

The Bosco Pampa - Verdant flatland broken by patches of sky. Well-preserved
ruins dot the plain, attestation to an ancient civilization that survives to
this day.

___________________
| 201 - Mission 2-1 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| The Winged - The Bosco Pampa |
| |
| The derelict--now known as the Galbana--brings Vaan and his friends to the |
| legendary sky continent. What wonders await them on its many islands? |
| |
| Antlion - This beast rends flesh from its prey with envenomed jaws. |
| Type: Melee Level: 5 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |

| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |
| |
| !--Save the wounded warrior; at least one ally must survive--! |
| !--Save Lluyd's companion; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| First of all, the Antions will never actually hurt the unknown man. Simply |
| walk up to them and defeat all three. You will not need to fight any of the |
| other monsters...until the second part of this mission, that is. Now you |
| need to save his companion. They never hurt her either, so don't worry about |
| that. Time to look around for all the treasures and scavenging items. After |
| all this, approach the friend and beat the surrounding Antlions. |
| |

|______________________________________________________________________________|

So yeah, as it turns out this guy's name is Lluyd. From now on he is a permanent
member of the party. Another cutscene with him explaining stuff. You may equip
the vest and the rod. Fane of Gucuma Qul has become available. In case you're
wonder what the manual is for, we'll get to that shortly. First another tutorial
about world map navigation. Also don't forget to equip the new guy's gambit.

Before we head over to the new area, let's go back to where we just completed
the previous mission. A Monster Melee fight has become available. Head back to
areas frequently to see if you missed a free fight.

______________________________________________________________________________

Now it's time to examine newest place:

Fane of Gucuma Qul: August temple enshrining auracite, stones held sacred above
all else on Lemures. Carven wings soar above the temple, catching the sun and
instilling peace and awe on all who make pilgrimage here.

___________________
| 203 - Mission 2-2 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Auracite And The Yarhi - Fane of Gucuma Qul |

| |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Remember everything you were taught from before. There are four leaders here |
| you must take out. Secure the first neutral summon gate then start moving |
| towards burly's group and take 'em out. Along the way pick up the scavenging |
| item and treasure. Move up and scavenge the stone. Always summon more Espers |
| if you have need. Defeat the other leader, capture the gate, and pick up the |
| rest of the items. If the Viera hasn't come at you yet, she will now. Pick |
| her off and then the Moogle. |
| |

You will now be able to use the Ring of Pacts. Very important. Anyway, the job's
not done yet. Equip the sword, staff, and pouch, enlist the White Hare into
your party using the Ring of Pacts along with two others, adjust your Troupe
accordingly, and enter the same place once again.

| 204 - Mission 2-3 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Reinforcements - Fane of Gucuma Qul |
| |
| The party learns the sky pirates seek auracite, magick stones used to summon |
| illusory beasts known as Yarhi. Something stalks them as they navigate the |
| shrine's twisting passages in search of answers. |
| |
| Jaunty Sky Pirate - Young sky pirate eagerly chasing treasure. |
| Type: Melee Level: 8 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Well-Bred Sky Pirate - Wealthy aristocrat, sky pirating for the thrill of |
| the adventure. |

| |
| Titan - The ground trembles at his approach. |
| Type: Melee Level: 10 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Poison, Blind, Silence, Sleep, Stop, |
| Slow, Disable, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Find the auracite chamber; at least one ally must survive--! |
| !--Defeat Titan; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| No summoning gates for this battle. I should note that once you open some of |
| the chests, hidden monsters will then appear. So be sure to clear the area |
| before opening something. As the small demo beforehand will tell you, press |
| the switches with a leader to unlock passages. Obviously the switch color |
| corresponds with the wall color. |
| |
| Defeating the area with the mage moogle is tough, I'd say it's better to |
| take out his surrounding Espers first. You will probably lose an Esper in |
| the process. Finishing that, heal, and unlock the yellow wall. Fight the |
| Alraune, take the treasure, then go back to eventually bring down the blue |
| wall. Fight the sky pirate here. Examine the green switch. Go back and down |
| the hall to fight the white mage-looking guy. After that, battle more of the |
| Sagittarius to find the final treasure. Then make your way to the flag. |
| |
| ...Only to find that it was a trap! Great, Espers are gone. You'll have to |
| do this the old fashioned way. It's too bad you can't use Bombs, as Titan is |
| weak against Fire. At least there's still Kytes. Make use of his Firaga move |
| while fighting. Not long into battle, Ba'Gamnan will show up...and help! He |
| will make the fight much more beatable. If someone falls, have Lluyd perform |
| his Revive move, which he should have learned by now. |

Ba'Gamnan will now be available in your party...for now. Unlock some Espers in
the Ring of Pacts, throw on those earrings/other equipment, and let's head back
to where we just were.

| 205 - Mission 2-4 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| 'Neath Darkened Wings - Fane of Gucuma Qul |
| |
| The group presses on with the help of Ba'Gamnan, who is tamed by Tomaj's |
| device. Arriving at the shrine's inner sanctum, they learn the true |
| ambitions of the sky pirates. |
| |
| Togi, Treasure Hunter - Genuine and sincere sky pirate with a soft spot for |
| treasure. |
| Type: Melee Level: 10 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |

| Type: Melee Level: 9 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Clan Cleric - Togi's trusted white mage. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 9 Nature: Healing Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Clan Archimagus - Togi's chief counsel. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 9 Nature: Ground Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |

| Type: Flying Level: 10 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| |
| !--Destroy the enemy soul crystal; your soul crystal must survive--! |
| |
| This should be your first real interaction with soul crystals. This means |
| that your enemy can resurrect continuously until it's destroyed, but you can |
| also do this too. So this means you'll have to be somewhat quick with this |
| fight. Capture summon gates when you can. Watch carefully, because they will |
| try to sneak to your soul crystal. You also must ALWAYS keep a constant eye |
| on your Esper amount and replenish when they die (because they will). |
| Eventually you should just be at the point to where you must try and rush |
| the enemy crystal. If the whole party is there, healers and all, you will be |
| able to manage this battle. |

Chapter 2 complete!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
300 - Chapter Three
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Equip the Armlet you received and unlock three more Espers from the ring. Now,
before we travel to the new area, there is still much to do in where we just
were. Three Melee missions, to be exact...

______________________________________________________________________________

| |
| The first thing you should do is grab the neutral summoning gate. Then take |
| the stone nearby and kill the two enemies. The Minotaurs are what you want |
| watch out for here. Have Kytes perform his second -aga spell, depending on |
| what you did not assign to the gambit. After this it's straightforward. |

| are down so you don't need to worry about that. |

| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: 800 Gil |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Whew, this area is FINALLY done. Rummage through your spoils and be happy. We're
finally starting to make some money in the game. Talk to everyone on the airship
if you wish. Let's head over to the next place. This is where Tomaj will first
talk about the Notice Board, something you should be very familiar with if you
have played the first game.

In fact, there are three new missions available. To view them click the Tomaj
icon once you're wandering around. Let's try out the first one.

________________
| 304 - Bug Hunt |_____________________________________________________________
| |
| The Bosco Pampa |
| |
| Bugs. Lots of bugs. They're crawling all over the Bosco Pampa on the |
| Windward Isles. Antlions, by the look of them. Get down there and squash |
| them, Vaan. It's the only way to be sure. |
| |
| Gnoam - Airborne sprite of the forest. |
| Type: Flying Level: 10 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: N/A |

| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| No summoning gates so try to hold onto your Espers. Slowly pick off the |
| enemies surrounding the area and save the queen for last. Remember that you |
| can use two of the spells Kytes is capable of. Try to kill a small group of |
| the antlions near their queen. And don't forget the lone treasure. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Tempestblade, 2 Auracite |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| East Treasure: Raincloud Raiment |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Equip the two items and unlock whichever Espers you want. Time to look at the
second mission given by Tomaj.

______________________________
| 305 - Once Bitten, Twice Shy |_______________________________________________
| |
| Fane Of Gucuma Qul |
| |
| Already word of these sky pirates' wrong-doing reaches my ears. They |
| beleaguer a group of aegyl at the Fane of Gucuma Qul on the Windward Isles. |
| Best hurry while there's still time. |
| |
| Aegyl Questrist - Aegyl who chases off those who trespass their sacred fane. |
| Type: Flying Level: 10 Nature: Lightning Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |

| Type: Flying Level: 10 Nature: Lightning Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Aegyl Brute - Aegyl who excels in all aspects of battle. |
| Type: Flying Level: 10 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |

| |
| Raiden - Lightning courses his diminutive frame. |
| Type: Flying Level: 12 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |
| Sagittarius - Centaur archer who rains bolts of lightning on his foes. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 12 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |
| |
| !--Capture the summoning gate; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| This is a very straightforward battle. Capture the first summoning gate and |
| call two more Espers. Approach the first female aegyl. A second leader will |
| attack soon. Seal off the other summon gates as quickly as possibly. Take |
| care of the leaders first, of course. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Detonator, 2 Auracite |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Equip your new weapon for Filo and unlock more Espers on the ring. Now it's
time to finish the next of Tomaj's missions.

_________________________
| 306 - Maleficent Mayhem |____________________________________________________
| |
| Fane of Gucuma Qul |
| |
| Monsters block the way to the auracite at the Fane of Gucuma Qul. From what |
| I can tell, the sky pirates there are only making the situation worse. See |
| that it doesn't grow more so. |
| |
| Green Flan - Sticky and foul, this green sludge is one of Nature's more vile |
| emissaries. |
| Type: Melee Level: 10 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Storm Wolf - Lupine beast that shreds its prey with claws of lightning. |
| Type: Melee Level: 10 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |
| Yellow Wyrm - Lightning-quick wyrm that crackles with electricity. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 10 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |
| Atomos - Noble spirit of earth. |
| Type: Flying Level: 11 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| I don't even want to give a strategy here because it's so easy. The flans |
| are weak to fire so keep Kytes in mind. The only trouble you might have is |
| for the last part when they're all kind together, but if you have taken good |
| care of your Espers all along you will be fine. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Mage's Robes |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Southeast Crystal: Storm Stone, Storm Magacite, Storm Crystal |
| Northwest Bones: Bone Chips, Sturdy Bone, Blood-Darkened Bone |
| East Bones: Insect Husk, Ichthon Scales, Ancient Turtle Shell |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Now you would think it'd be time to move on to the next storyline mission, but
no, completing these will unlock another one of Tomaj's missions. Select his
icon on the world map to bring it up. Equip the Robes and begin the mission.

____________________
| 307 - The Scofflaw |_________________________________________________________
| |
| Fane of Gucuma Qul |
| |
| I've located the sky pirate at the root of the trouble on Windward Isles. |
| He's holed up inside the Fane of Gucuma Qul itself. I worked hard tracking |
| him down, so don't let my efforts go to waste. |
| |
| Quaddo, Verminlord - Mean-spirited sky pirate proud of his wrongdoings. |
| Type: Melee Level: 14 Nature: N/A Weakness: Lightning |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Aspiring Fencer - Wiley sky pirate anxious to take after her captain. |

| captain. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 13 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Nearsighted Archer - Archer who puts more faith in the quantity than the |
| quality of shots. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 13 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: N/A |
| |

| Type: Ranged Level: 13 Nature: Healing Weakness: N/A |

| Type: Melee Level: 13 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |

| Resistance: Fire Immunities: Disable |
| |
| Sagittarius - Centuar who rains bolts of lightning on his foes. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 14 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| As you can see there are a lot of things here with a weakness towards water, |
| so consider using something electric. Be careful, because the Nearsighted |
| Archer Viera will cast a vanishing spell and surprise you. Be ready for this |
| to happen. The same will be true for the other Viera archer. Once you make |
| it halfway seal the other summon gates and rush to the end to take down this |
| guy once and for all. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: 1500 Gil, Medallion Of Water, 3 Auracite |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Equip your new found Medallion. Unlock more Espers, blah blah blah. Now launch
the airship and head over to the next storyline place. Which is:

The Kisne Rise: The roots of the great skystone jut from this gently sloping
hill. The skystone's Mist tempers the climate, and in spring the hillside is a
riot of color as its rich grasses give way to a sea of flowers.

___________________
| 308 - Mission 3-1 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Savagery - The Kisne Rise |
| |
| The Galbana drops anchor at the Isle of the Megalith to stop the Judge of |
| Wings from reaching the auralith, only to find a sky pirate attack already |
| underway. |
| |
| Barbarous Sky Pirate - Vicious sky pirate whose only joy in life is causing |
| ruin. |

| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; all aegyl must survive--! |
| !--At least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Fortunately, since I made you complete the optional missions before this, |
| these leaders should be no match. You DID train with other missions, right? |
| Anyway, this time the enemy really WILL attack the neutral ally. So you must |
| hurry here. Take the first leader to the left that's attacking the aegyl. |
| Then go right and defeat the next leader, sealing the summon gate. Once you |
| approach the third aegyl, another Seeq leader will show up. So he will try |
| to rush the aegyl coming back (because it's stupid and won't go the other |
| way) so hurry to where you were and take him out ASAP. Then finish the rest. |
| Lots of things have a weakness of fire so summon Espers that inflict fire. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: 1300 Gil, Artificer's Handbook, Auracite |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

You can now buy stuff from Tomaj's little shop. Go to the airship and talk with
him. The Sky Saloon is still not available at this time. In addition, you should
already have all of the weapons and armor he offers. The only thing new is the
Accessory tab, which should be: Winged Boots, Corsage Bracelet, Traveler's
Pouch, Gold Earrings, Gauntlets, and Mythril Gloves. Check my Tomaj's Shop part
of the guide to see the full list available at this point and their prices.

Back to the Rise again. It's time for another Melee.

______________________________________________________________________________
| |
| 309 - Monster Melee (The Kisne Rise) |
| |
| Open battle against the area's indigenous beasts. |
| |
| Storm Wolf - Lupine beast that shreds its prey with claws of lightning. |
| Type: Melee Level: 12 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |

| |
| Atomos - Noble spirit of earth. |
| Type: Flying Level: 13 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| This one, like all melee battles, isn't too hard. First of all everyone has |
| either a weakness of fire or ground. So make use of Kytes for the fire and |
| Espers with Ground Nature for the rest. Don't forget to collect everything |
| from scavenging. |

Okay, it's time to take the trip towards our next goal. Which happens to be:

Fane Of Tehp Qul: Central shrine on the Isle of the Megalith. A natural cave
leads to the dais holding the auralith within, the sole auralith whose location
is known to the aegyl.

___________________
| 310 - Mission 3-2 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Rendezvous Round Back - Fane Of Tehp Qul |
| |
| After saving the aegyl, the party heads for the shrine holding the auralith, |
| but a watch has already bee posted outside! How does Vaan plan to sneak |
| past? |
| |
| |
| !--Sneak into the temple; Vaan must survive--! |
| |
| This is a...different kind of mission. I won't bother listing the enemies |
| and their stats. You shouldn't try to take them on. PLEASE, PLEASE remember |
| that there are several Viera archers throughout who will cast vanishing |
| spells on themselves. Try your best to memorize where they are before you |
| start moving. |
| |
| Secondly, some people forget about Vaan's abilities. I had on his Sprint |
| Shoes when I did this, also you can set his Gambit under Sprint. This will |
| help you. I'm sure a lot of people will be tempted by the treasure chests |
| sprinkled throughout, but as you can see at the bottom here you'll find |
| better things soon enough. Still, I managed to do this after casting Sprint. |
| |
| If you don't want treasure you can make a dash towards the entrance and the |
| mission will be completed. If you want all three of the chests then you will |
| probably be caught, so be prepared to lose some health. If you did what I |
| told you by completing everything else (aka training) up until this point, |
| you will last. |

| |
| The Crystal's Cry - Fane Of Tehp Qul |
| |
| Having slipped past the watch, the party continues toward the inner chambers |
| of the shrine in search of the auralith. What they find is beyond their |
| imagination. |
| |
| Qinneo The Obeisant - Sky pirate attacking the auralith on the judge's |
| orders. |
| Type: Melee Level: 15 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |

| Wings. |

| Gnoam - Airborne sprite of the forest. |
| Type: Flying Level: 13 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Cu Sith - A Yarhi whose innocent appearance belies its remorseless soul. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 14 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Atomos - Noble spirit of earth. |
| Type: Flying Level: 14 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |

| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Take out the White Mage first. Once the Atomos are gone all they'll do is |
| heal each other. As soon as he's killed another leader will try to rush you |
| or the summon gate. Don't be taken by surprise. Next take out the other |
| Moogle with the Cu Sith party. Take back the summon gate and replenish your |
| Esper supply. Finally move on in towards the last leader. There are lots of |
| Fire-weak things here. You know what to do. |

More scenes...a flashback. Seems as though we're not finished quite yet.

| 312 - Mission 3-4 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Judge Of Wings - Fane Of Tehp Qul |
| |
| Although the party succeeded in defeating the sky pirates, they were not |
| quick enough to prevent damage to the auralith. As they examine the cryptic |
| device nearby, ominous footsteps draw near. |
| |
| Judge Of Wings - Her armor harbors neither light nor mercy. |
| Type: Melee Level: 15 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: Poison, Blind, Silence, Sleep, Confuse, |
| Slow, Stop, Immobilize, Disable, Gravity |
| |
| Goblin - Familiar nuisance armed with his time-tested punch. |
| Type: Melee Level: 15 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Gnoam - Airborne sprite of the forest. |
| Type: Flying Level: 15 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Cu Sith - A Yarhi whose innocent appearance belies its remorseless soul. |

| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison, Blind, Silence, Confuse, Stop, |
| Slow, Immobilize, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat the Judge of Wings; at least one ally must survive--! |
| !--Defeat Shiva; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| So as far as the first half of this goes...the Judge will approach you fast. |
| Therefore, it is probably better to stay where you are and wait. This way |
| you won't have other enemies to deal with. Then we need to take care of the |
| rank III Esper Shiva. She is weak to fire, so...keep that in mind. The other |
| enemies will approach throughout, so I would wait until the coast is all |
| clear before approaching Shiva. Save Kyte's Firaga spell. |
| |

Immediately after you will read a quick explanation of AP. You can now powerup
your Espers once you have battle enough enemies. Neat.

Unfortunately we have yet another battle to undergo before the end of this
chapter. It seems as though our loveable Bangaa has met up with his group...

| Backstabbing Bangaa - Fane Of Tehp Qul |
| |
| After showing the party a troubling vision, the Judge of Wings destroys the |
| auralith. As Vaan and the others give chase, they happen upon unexpected |
| company. |
| |
| Rinok - She makes fast work of those foolish enough to underestimate her. |
| Type: Melee Level: 16 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: Confuse |

| Mandatory Characters: Ba'Gamnan |
| |
| The first thing that will happen is another brief explanation will flash on |
| the screen about Astral Power. Read it and then begin by moving left to the |
| only summon gate that is yours. The Sky Pirate will try to take it from you. |
| Grab the timber and then attack Bwagi's group. After that replenish Espers |
| and attack the Bangaa Hood guy. Take whatever you can from the crystal. Now |
| you may have to fight Tiamat twice because he will be resummoned again. Keep |
| a careful eye on your Esper number and use this mission to practice with |
| increasing your Esper level. |

Gijuk will give a tip, saying that the Judge of Wings went to the "Skysea."
Whatever that means. At least we can leave this place now.

Chapter 3 Complete!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
400 - Chapter Four
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We begin this chapter with Tomaj showing you around the newly accessible Sky
Saloon. There are four shops around here. Check their sections of my walkthrough
to learn more. When you can control Vaan, fiddle with the Ring of Pacts.

Now let's look around. To the left is Penelo's shop, above her is Llyud's shop
where you can purchase materials for crafting, right of him is a funky little
dude called Namingway who can rename the airship, to the right of THAT is Cu
Sith's craft shop, and below is Tomaj's weapon, etc shop. If you speak to Lluyd
after Tomaj explains what he's doing there he'll say something funny ( I thought
so anyway).

These are the new weapons etc. he has that you shouldn't right now: Flametongue,
Rod of Lightning, Rod of Ice, Ruby Chestplate, Bard's Tunic, Hermit's Robes,
Survival Vest, Steel Gorget, Battle Boots, and the Goblin Pouch. I recommend you
at least buy the pouch.

The material shop Lluyd runs sells low-grade only right now. You shouldn't have
just the Pink Silver and Peridot at this point. Don't buy anything though, you
will be desperate later on to sell all the crap...

I will also advise you to begin crafting things. Certain missions will only
unlock after you have crafted a certain number of weapons, in addition to there
being a chapter requirement. So start now. Craft everything you can.

For now, we head back to the Fane...

______________________________________________________________________________
| |
| 401 - Summoning Melee (Fane of Tehp Qul) |
| |
| Open battle against foes who summon wave after wave of Yarhi. |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| We've got quite a few different types of weaknesses here. Two leaders here |
| are weak towards lightning, so maybe stick with that. Take care of the Time |
| Mage, and a shot of Firaga should take care of the Gnoam easily. The enemy |
| has a habit of running away after you do a little damage to them, so try not |
| to chase after and just focus on the task at hand. They'll get theirs soon |
| enough. Don't forget to fortify Espers continuously. Other than that this is |
| a standard battle here. |

Believe me, it's better to get these Melees over like this. They're good for

| |
| The first thing you should do is obviously approach the monk because he is |
| the closest. Take the summon gate. Soon the black mage should approach you. |
| Use all of Kytes' arsenal to help. After you've rested and fortified, go for |
| the Warrior. Bio won't work on Cuchulainn but it should help with the Cu |
| Sith. And don't forget to mine the materials as they are brand new as far as |
| scavenging goes. |

Now we have to go to...

Shadow of Paharo: The oldest ruins on the Isle of the Megalith, they have stood
since the forging of Lemures. The aegyl fiercely defend the ruins and the
priceless treasures within.

______________________________________________________________________________
| |
| 403 - Monster Melee (Shadow of Paharo) |
| |
| Open battle against the area's indigenous beasts. |
| |
| Infernal Wolf - Lupine beast that shreds its prey with claws of fire. |
| Type: Melee Level: 21 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |

| |
| Here's how this works. Each scavenge location is by a wolf of a particular |
| nature. Whatever nature it has is the same that the crystal will be. The |
| hardest enemies are weak to fire, so use Kytes there and any Esper with a |
| nature of Fire. There are no summoning gates here, so try to save the Espers |
| that you have from the beginning. |

| 404 - Baubles And Banditry |_________________________________________________
| |
| The Kisne Rise |
| |
| A band of ill-favored sky pirates on Tormelados is forcing aegyl to do their |
| dirty work on the Kisne Rise. Teach them a lesson they won't soon forget. |
| |
| Altea, Aviator - Sinister viera who exploits the aegyl for her own profit. |

| friend. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 18 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Arcane Scholar - Faux academic who harries the aegyl with black magicks. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 18 Nature: Water Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Garrulous Gunslinger - Bandoliered sky pirate whose mouth shoots off rapid- |
| fire. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 19 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: N/A |
| |

| Cactoid - Distant, ambulatory relative of the common cactus. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 18 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Golem - Woodland colossus who stands watch of Nature's creation. |
| Type: Melee Level: 19 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Poison |
| |
| Cu Sith - A Yarhi whose innocent appearance belies its remorseless soul. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 19 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Carbuncle - The rays of its ruby light heal all they touch. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 19 Nature: Healing Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Destroy the enemy soul crystal; your soul crystal must survive--! |
| |
| This is a very tough battle at this stage of the game. First, take care of |
| the enemy right above you. Then go east and attack there, sealing everything |
| on the way and getting the scavenge items. Then return to the first summon |
| gate and defend, gathering your troops again and fortifying them. Make sure |
| you have plenty of White Hares for this one. There are a variety of natures |
| but the majority are weak towards fire. Summon Espers that correspond. |
| |
| When you reach the top things become a bit tricky. Try to reach the third |
| gate as soon as you can after taking care of the first wave of Golem. You |
| need to seal that off. After that, recover again and rush over to the soul |
| crystal. Don't bother trying to seal the last gate. This will probably take |
| several tries. Utilize Kytes' abilities as much as possible. Keep summoning |
| fresh Espers to aid you in the fight. |
| |
| If I were you, I would summon Bombs and Lamia for this battle. Not only are |
| the Lamia fire in nature, but they can confuse enemies. As for Bombs, you |
| can self-destruct them once you reach the third summon gate and quickly |
| summon them again. Very handy... |

| |
| Fane of Tehp Qul |
| |
| The aegyl that have taken shelter on the ship mentioned a cache of materials |
| in the temple gardens on Tormelados. It's guarded by the usual nasties, but |
| nothing you can't manage. |
| |
| Rock Wolf - Lupine beast that shreds its prey with claws of stone. |

| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Find the treasure; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| I hope you all read the enemy info correctly--the Minotaur is at twice the |
| level of everything else. Sooo proceed with extreme caution. Obviously units |
| that are flyers will be of big help. First take care of the Rock Wolf to the |
| right and gather the items found nearby. Once you kill the Green Wyrms...a |
| lone Minotaur should approach, which triggers a whoooole group of them to |
| shortly follow. All I can say is that it reallly helps to have at least one |
| type of rank II flyers here. I also really like Lamia to confuse them and I |
| also had Golem to immobilize. |
| |
| That aside it should be fairly straightforward...there is another group of |
| high leveled Minotaur next to the timber, but I just avoided those, so try |
| not to attract their attention as some of your Esper will be down for the |
| count. Gather the remaining materials. |

| walk over to the White Mage and take care of them while grabbing the chests |
| of treasure. Go down and to the right, taking care of the Soldier enemy... |
| who might cast Berserk on everything, so watch out. Then finally the Viera. |
| She might have performed a vanishing spell, but she's still there. |

|______________________________________________________________________________|

Acquire an Esper or two from the Auracite you should have just gained. There are
no more of Tomaj's side missions, so now we need to tackle a storyline mission.
Board the airship and travel to the skysea.

Port Marilith: Breathtaking port overlooking the skysea. It is customary for the
aegyl to travel the skysea by ship rather than fly, and the port bustles with
travelers.

Make your way over to Rikken and speak with him. Once the dialogue is over,
return to Penelo and speak with her. More cutscenes, and it seems as though you
will be participating in the contest. Now canoe over to:

Isshu, Jewel Of The SkySea: Island paradise where aegyl crossing the skysea
often sojourn. The crystal-blue waters and shimmering white beaches offer
welcome to the weary wayfarer.

| |
| Pirates In Peril! - Isshu, Jewel of the Skysea |
| |
| The party tracks the Judge of Wings to the shores of the Muruc Cahuac |
| Skysea, where they happen upon Rikken and his band of pirates. They know |
| something...or at least look like they do. |
| |
| Sky Pirate of Fortune - Acquaintance of Rikken hoping to seize mounds of |
| auracite. |
| Type: Melee Level: 17 Nature: Water Weakness: Lightning |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Affected Sky Pirate - Warmage who hopes to win Rikken's heart. |
| Type: Melee Level: 17 Nature: Water Weakness: Water |

| Souffle, Gunslinger - Sailor leisurely in search of treasure on the open |
| skies. |

| |
| |
| !--Open all of the treasure chests; at least one ally must survive--! |
| !--Rikken, Elza, or Raz must survive--! |
| |
| Yeah...the main thing to worry about is grabbing the treasure. The others |
| should be okay--in fact, they'll be your rivals for this. What will REALLY |
| help is to step back and let them spend the time opening the Mimic chests |
| and making them fight those things. I would also suggest splitting up into |
| two separate groups at some point. Maybe one person mine the bones while the |
| other grabs the treasure while the neutrals are still standing quietly. Also |
| it's pretty obvious Vaan's Sprint ability and his Sprint Shoes will come in |
| handy for this mission. |
| |
| I went like this: took the maplewood log nearby, went over to where Rikken's |
| chest is while another scavenged, then one person picked up the Pure Silver |
| while another (Vaan with Sprint) went South for the Beastlord bone and then |
| mined the crystal. And then my other person traveled to find the Emerald. |

Hmm, seems as though we received one piece of auracite after the battle, along
with another crafting book. So go back to the Sky Saloon and check out what Cu
Sith has to offer.

Now it is time for another Monster Melee battle.

| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| All but one of the enemies are weak towards lightning. I should hardly have |
| to tell you how your Espers should be arranged for this fight. This is just |
| a time to gain more experience for what's to come... |

Now it's time move see the sights of Cebe:

Cebe, Isle of Treasures: Isolated isle rich in natural resources. It is known to
the aegyl only as "Cebe," its more colorful name owning to Rikken's band of sky
pirates.

| |
| In the end, Rikken had little new to say, so the search for the judge is |
| back where it started. Rikken wastes no time finding trouble again. |

| |
| |
| !--Destroy the enemy soul crystal; your soul crystal must survive--! |
| |
| I did not use Penelo for this fight, but instead Kytes. I summoned the |
| Sagittarius, which pretty much annihilates the Esper enemies. Immediately go |
| to where the neutral summoning gate is, because the black mage will try to |
| reach it first. Don't worry about your allies, as they will reappear at the |
| soul crystal if something happens. Grab the left gate after dueling it out. |
| Then take the stuff from the crystal. Try to make it to the next summoning |
| gate and seal it. Hopefully at some point a few of your Espers will die and |
| you can summon the hares (if you did not choose Penelo). Grab the bones if |
| a group has a chance. Recuperate and make a final attack against the enemy |
| crystal for the end of battle. |

Forge a new pact with an Esper and equip the new wand if it is not better than

| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| The first thing to do is take the neutral summon gate and collect the bones. |
| Basically everyone will try to rush you, leaving little time to collect the |
| other scavenge areas. Actually I suggest you go to the timber and from there |
| have Lluyd and Filo fly over to the crystal, taking a shortcut, effectively. |
| Other than this the battle is not hard. |

Now we must move on to the next mandatory mission. Prepare by forging what you
can, if you have not done so already. It will be of great help.

Yapih Caverns: A scalding cavern of lava and flame rising from a rocky
outcropping extending to the southeast of the skysea. Ruins fill the cavern,
forming a crude trail to the temple hidden deep within.

| While the others were busy with Rikken, Tomaj had his ear to the ground. His |

| !--Defeat Ba'Gamnan; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| All fire things here. No Espers to be used here though, but you can use the |
| Blizzaga move from Kytes. In case you're wondering about the locations of my |
| treasure chest list, just go in order from start to finish. You also may |
| want to cast Vaan's sprint or wear his Sprint Shoes to get the treasure. |
| The battle tactics will soon become clearer once Ba'Gamnan joins the fray. |
| You must kill him as well. Have Lluyd or Vaan get the west treasure since |
| they are the fastest. Then send other party members east, then quickly up to |
| nab that treasure as well. Lamia will soon spawn once you approach Ba'Gamnan |
| so try to take care of them with Kytes' Blizzaga. |

| |
| Yeah so your three favorite allies will be helping you here. Personally I |
| went northwest first, but that is up to you. Capture the gate and take the |
| time to fortify. I also summoned an extra hare. Don't worry about where your |
| allies are this time, as now they will follow you. At some point Ba'Gamnan's |
| cronies will appear. The Sagittarius are annoying, so consider a ground |
| Esper like Golem or something. Just focus on Ba'Gamnan and perhaps Penelo |
| should cast her magick that increases strength. |

| |
| Everything is weak to water here, so things like Sirens or Vaan's Icebrand |
| are handy. Don't summon the Shiva family though, as they are weak to fire. |
| Have Blizzaga ready with Kytes. Move to the center gate and take this after |
| fighting nearby enemies. Hurry though, because the groups from both sides |
| will come after you. Have Penelo's Esunaga ready. Make sure at least Lluyd |
| stays alive so that once everything dies down he can revive people. Before |
| you confront Belias Penelo should perform a dance to increase strength and |
| Kytes should have Blizzaga ready for the group surrounding him. |
| |
| After the battle you will receive the frist Quickening of the game, which is |
| Vaan's Pyroclasm technique. |

500 - Chapter Five
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

For the time being you cannot access the saloon or any of the newest of Tomaj's
missions. Add a new Esper to your collection if you can. Three new areas will
become available. Although you cannot return to the airship you can still buy
things from Tomaj at the camp. New equipment is available. Let's begin a Melee
to start things out.

Zwaua Rainwood: Rare and splendid Yarhi crawl through the dense tropical brush
in the hidden depths of the wood. They do not readily welcome outsiders.

| |
| We have a general weakness towards fire here. Avoid Titan for now and try to |
| capture the lone summon gate. A bunch of tortoise are walking around in a |
| circle. Be careful, as some Aquarius will surprise you. As a side note, at |
| the beginning you can also have your flyers go over to take the summon gate |
| as a bit of a shortcut. Don't need to, though. Make your way back to Titan |
| after grabbing the scavenge items, etc. Prep everyone with Penelo's dances |
| and attack. Vaan's Quickening might appear, so take advantage if it does. |

| just so happens to contain Auracite. Anyway, continue on until you bring the |

now. Head back to where you were for a melee battle.

A new area is now available on the map.

Gugoza Falls: Majestic waterfall set at the heart of the Greendeep. The water's
misty spray refreshes and revitalizes, but the direct force of the cascade can
be crushing.

| A Gift For Penelo - Gugoza Falls |
| |
| The man the party rescues from the Yarhi remains silent, winning no friends |

| |
| Mandatory Characters: Vaan and Kytes |
| |
| It's another one of those snake-path missions. There are no summon gates now |
| and the only two characters available are Vaan and Kytes. Pay careful notice |
| of the enemies' weaknesses here. Kytes can be your greatest strength. Also |
| you should see some healing food spread out the path every once and awhile. |
| Be sure to stock up on health from these, it can save you. Lastly, when you |
| are seeking treasure be careful, because hidden enemies can appear. |

| |
| Malboro will continuously approach for some length of time, so try to hurry |
| and defeat the enemies to get close enough to the lone summoning gate. Have |
| Penelo make your characters stronger. Kytes's Firaga is helpful here. Also |
| don't forget about her Esunaga if needed. |

Now we head back to camp.

Tomaj's Camp: Jungle clearing where the Galbana came to rest. Tomaj looks after
the camp and diligently tills the soil, preparing for the worst.

___________________
| 506 - Mission 5-3 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Object Of Desire - Tomaj's Camp |
| |
| Vaan and Kytes return from a hard day's work gathering foodstuffs to find |
| Penelo and Velis have grown even closer while they were away. |
| |
| Atomos - Noble spirit of earth. |
| Type: Flying Level: 25 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |

| |
| |
| !--Protect Velis; Velis and at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Yeah, this one is tough. Basically what you need to do is stay in the middle |
| of the area and wait for the monsters to come to you (or you can go to them |
| if there's time, but that isn't recommended for too many occasions). Use all |
| of Kytes's spells when he can. Have Penelo increase magick and strength. You |
| must continuously fortify Espers and summon new ones. Heal Velis if he is |
| under attack and never, ever leave him for too long. If all else fails, try |
| to have Vaan's Quickening ready once the Great Malboro appears. |

Just when you thought you had enough at the camp, it's another mission ahead.
From the same place.

___________________
| 507 - Mission 5-4 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| The Dance - Tomaj's Camp |
| |
| Vaan fumes as Velis and Penelo spend more and more time alone together. |
| Then, one night Velis asks Penelo to join him outside the ship. |
| |
| Judge Of Wings - Her armor harbors neither light nor mercy. |
| Type: Melee Level: 30 Nature: Fire Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: Poison, Blind, Silence, Sleep, Confuse, |

| Type: Melee Level: 30 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: Poison, Blind, Sleep, Confuse, Stop, Slow, |
| Disable, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Stop Velis; Penelo must survive--! |
| |
| Ugh...no Penelo for this mission. That means a few things. First, you cannot |
| forget about the various foraging points throughout the battlefield. They |
| will give back much needed HP. Secondly, you should dismiss at least one or |
| two of your Espers and replace them with a White Hare (Carbuncle?). Lastly, |
| The Judge of Wings will NOT attack you, so long as you do not approach her. |
| Wait until Velis comes towards you. If you fight the lesser enemies with |
| Vaan a lot you might just gain his Quickening. You don't even need to take |
| away all his health, the battle will end before that point. There is no way |
| to take back Penelo's health unless you summon a healing thing. Watch her |
| carefully because the enemies will keep trying to attack her. |

A cutscene begins. Tomaj is excited because the airship has finally been fixed.
How he knew how to fix an airship that is from another place I'll never know.

Chapter 5 Complete!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
600 - Chapter Six
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Talk to Cu Sith and Tomaj at the beginning of this chapter. If you've been
crafting things Cu will have a new mission for you to complete. Tomaj will also
have one for you. If you talk with Lluyd he'll mention the first price discount
of the game. Things will now cost five percent less than before. Lastly, speak
with Penelo to unlock yet another mission (involving food).

Go to the Bridge for a cutscene. After that, launch the airship. There are many
different things we can do at this point, but right now I wish to have those
pesky melee missions out of the way.

| Enemies will keep approaching you for awhile. Fortunately they are not very |
| strong enemies. Try to continuously reach the treasure. Eventually the waves |
| will stop coming. I was able to obtain Vaan's Quickening, which I used for |
| the group of Thunder Drakes. |

Time to move on. There's a newly unlocked area by the skysea.

Oghu, the Veiled Isle: Mysterious island revealed by the skysea's destruction.
The aegyl dare not approach for fear they should disturb the Lord of the Seas
said to dwell thereon.

Gee, I wonder who this Lord of the Seas could be. >_>

______________________________________________________________________________
| |
| 602 - Summoning Melee (Oghu, the Veiled Isle) |
| |
| Open battle against foes who summon wave after wave of Yarhi. |
| |
| Ninja - Master assassin who walks among shadows. |
| Type: Melee Level: 28 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |

| |
| Sahagin - Water-spouting creature spawned in the deep places of the sea. |

| Resistance: Fire Immunities: Disable |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| In case you haven't noticed, most of the enemies are weak towards lightning. |
| So it would be to your great advantage to change your Esper lineup so that |
| a few are more...lightning-y. Anyway, I'd go after the Seeq first if I were |
| you. He'll cause more trouble later. Seal off his gate. Then go after the |
| Ninja, who will be in the area, and the Warmage, who will approach. Go to |
| her gate and seal that off too, collecting the crystal items. You probably |
| have noticed by now that Flyers have an easy time cutting across paths. So I |
| used this to send Filo and Lluyd to scavenge the northwest bones. After you |
| seal off the other western gate this should become easier. Don't forget to |
| fortify. Thunder-nature Espers, again, will really, really help you. |
| |
| Don't be fooled by the fact that this is just a melee. Come prepared. |

Okay, it is at this point in the game that I would recommend selling certain low
grade materials. Otherwise you'll end up discarding them with no money back.
Sell enough so you have only 4 or 5 of something (the low grade). After that go
a bit northeast of the skysea.

Underfane of Huin Qul: Sister of the shrine destroyed with the skysea. The
balance of auracite held within the shrines--one of fire, one of water--
preserved the balance of the skysea. With one lost, the skysea could not long
last.

| |
| This is a standard monster melee. Flans of both types will spawn throughout |
| most of it, but it's no big deal. There are no summon gates here, so be sure |
| to keep the healing going and try not to fight a drake two at a time. |

| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; all the aegyl must survive--! |
| !--At least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| During this mission you must babysit two aegyl throughout the thing. This is |
| not SO bad if you stay ahead. If you wish to scavenge from the stone, there |
| is a good chance you'll need to split up so one group can continue to watch |
| over the aegyl. Be careful when you approach the Ninja--I had Vaan save his |
| Quickening until then. |

| 608 - Stroke Of Luck |_______________________________________________________
| |
| Underfane of Huin Qul |
| |
| I'm told you're learning your way around the forge, so perhaps this lead on |
| a rare material will interest you. Seek it out in the Underfane amid the |
| ruins of the skysea. |
| |
| Red Flan - Gelatinous mass that attacks with a lunge of its fiery head. |
| Type: Melee Level: 27 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: Disable |

| Type: Flying Level: 28 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: Disable |
| |
| |
| !--Acquire the everburn; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Yeah, this shouldn't be a challenge. Bomb-related materials are now being |
| introduced for the first time. The multitude of drakes here are certainly an |
| Esper to watch out for. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Everburn Essentials, 2 Everburn |

| Center Crystal: Fire Stone, Fire Magicite, Fire Crystal, Fire Gem |
| North Bones: Tyrant Bone, Wyvern Bone, Wyrm Bone |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

For the moment, if you choose to craft some weapons with the Everburn, to hold
off on equipping them. This is because we'll be facing a water enemy soon. It is
not essential to have these new weapons until then. On the other hand, you can
craft them and equip it for other fights, but just be sure to switch for another
thing if you are not that powerful.

__________________________
| 609 - Otherworldy Beauty |___________________________________________________
| |
| Underfane of Huin Qul |
| |
| Sometimes beauty and the beast are one and the same. A scion of unsurpassed |
| beauty waits at the Dais of the Auracite in the Underfane on the broken |
| skysea. The sight alone should be worth the journey! |
| |
| Bomb - "Handle with care." |
| Type: Flying Level: 30 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |

| Type: Ranged Level: 33 Nature: Healing Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: Blind, Silence, Sleep, Confuse, Stop, |
| Immobilize, Disable, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat Ultima; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Penelo |
| |
| This is a very, very hard battle. It is also the first I recommend using |
| Carbuncles. If you fail within the first few tries I would recommend going |
| to different missions available and leveling up some more. Set both Penelo's |
| Raise and Lluyd's Revive as gambits! And be sure to have Penelo cast her |
| spells that increase strength and magick right before you encounter Ultima. |
| And if you attack behind Ultima you will be able to avoid her very powerful |
| attack, although that is very hard to maneuver. My recommended Espers are: |
| Shivan (meh), Cuchulainn, Carbuncle, and Siren. The last one can be whatever |
| you want, really. Don't bother with Vaan's Quickening, there's not enough |
| time, usually. It'll only happen if you can survive for long enough, or if |
| you equip the Germinas Boots (maybe, haven't tried that). |
| |
| Lastly, there is one "trick" I have learned that can help you greatly. There |
| are two summoning gates to either side. Ahead of the downward-right one is a |
| rock. Hopefully you can see what I'm talking about. If you stand just so |
| behind it then Ultima's attacks will not be able to reach you. Obviously |
| you'll need to use Melee people as bait while your Ranged fighters hammer |
| away. This can take a little time to perfect. I managed to beat Ultima using |
| characters in the 27 level range with this trick. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Healing Armlet, Auracite |
| Goblin Pouch: Fire Magicite, Fire Crystal |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

You can now use Penelo's Quickening. Additionally, Ultima is an Esper you may
summon. She is of the healing type of course. Return everyone's gambits to the
way they were and equip the Armlet if you so choose. Reform your Espers to face
Water-natured things...

| |
| |
| !--Defeat Leviathan; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Ramuh is a recommended Esper to summon here (obviously). This is a GREAT |
| area for flying types. I say that because once you're standing close to the |
| northwest treasure chest, Lluyd or Filo can sneak over to gate by Leviathan |
| and seal it off. This is a great preventative measure for later. |

something more regular.

| 611 - That Left Behind |_____________________________________________________
| |
| Tomaj's Camp |
| |
| Penelo longs to revisit the shores of the deserted island. Though she still |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |

| Bah, there's nothing much to this battle (unless you're aiming for all the |
| scavenge areas). Defeat everything slowly, starting with the Sandsailor. |

| |
| |
| !--Gather the materials for Tomaj; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Wyverns are really good for this battle, I think. There will be no summoning |
| of rank III Espers today. Try not to lose too many Espers. And...yeah. Find |
| the stone material at the end. That's all there is to it. |

Now, don't get excited. Whatever Cu is gonna use this stuff for we don't have
the book for yet. If you talk with Tomaj back at the Sky Saloon he'll announce
that his shop will be dropping prices by 5 percent. Let's move on.

| 613 - The Sword In The Shell |_______________________________________________
| |
| Gugoza Falls |
| |
| Who can say "no" to a legendary sword? Well, I've found one at Gugoza Falls. |
| The only catch is, it's stuck in the back of a stoneturtle. Still, treasure |
| is treasure! |
| |
| Blue Flan - Its quivering skin is chill to the touch. |
| Type: Melee Level: 29 Nature: Water Weakness: Lightning |

| |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat Aspidochelon; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Turns out Aspie will move pretty fast up the battle line. If you want to |
| pause and collect treasure he'll probably make his way too far ahead of you. |
| Do NOT approach the area where there are a bunch of Earth Drakes. He will |
| walk the same path down once he reaches the end. |

Ugh, the blade we picked up is worse than the one I had for Vaan currently. Oh
well. Talk with Penelo if you wish back at her shop for a brief dialogue. Now
we have one more Tomaj mission left.

| 614 - Rumble In The Jungle |_________________________________________________
| |
| Zwaua Rainwood |
| |
| The deserted isle we were marooned on has been racked by tremors. I've |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat Hashmal; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Lluyd |
| |
| Yep, this is where that everburn will come in real handy. Summon lots and |
| lots of Fire-natured Espers. Make your way slowly around the paths while |
| hopefully building Vaan's Quickening. When it comes time to face Hashmal |
| have Lluyd Jump and Wyvern/Kytes perform their far-away fire moves to get |
| rid of a good chunk of the Golems' HP. Also once you see Hashmal approaching |
| have Penelo perform her usual dances to increase magick and strength. You |
| will probably lose lots of Espers but it's not as bad as Ultima. |

Cool, we now have Lluyd's Quickening. And Hashmal is unlocked on the ring. Neat.
Well, that's it for optional missions right now. We've put off the inevitable.
It's time to tackle those storyline things.

Heaven's Vigil: The aegyl stage their watch of the Ymir Qul from this quiet
village. Legend holds that the sacred mountain lies at the foot of the heavens,
the stairway fallen aegyl must ascend to reach the afterlife.

Enter the place and speak with Fran. A short dialogue will occur. After this
move to the next place, which is...

The Ymir Qul Range: Holy peaks higher than aegyl wings can soar. Jagged skystone
claws at the sky along its twisting paths, while sheer cliffs stand their silent
watch, unforgiving of those who would trespass.

| |
| A Recurring Nuisance - The Ymir Qul Range |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Meh...the tight space makes it difficult to do things. Espers with a nature |
| of Ground are good here. There are no gates so try to keep everything for as |
| long as possible. Not much more to say here. |

| !--Fran must survive--! |
| |
| Oh man, this is hard. Before you move anything, use the gate that is yours |
| to summon whatever rank III Esper you picked (I recommend Shiva or Levi) and |
| also an extra Carbuncle. Have Vaan go after the pesky white mage while the |
| rest deal with the bulk of Lamia. Vaan will probably die, so have Lluyd use |
| Revive. If you are lucky the tide should turn and you'll defeat the Bangaa. |
| Capture the gate and QUICKLY move back to where Fran is. After that you will |
| be in the clear, for the most part. Just concentrate on the Ninja and Time |
| Mage while casting Water spells like crazy. |

I'm glad that's over. Time to continue on with the storyline. Proceed up the
mountain range...

| This battle would be a lot easier if Fran wasn't running off all the time. |
| Stick with her, and perhaps even consider casting Sprint on Vaan. Other than |
| that be careful of the Mimics that are hidden in chests here. |

Time for some more Melee battles. Let's begin.

| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Don't bother thinking there's a summon gate here because by the time you get |
| to it the battle is over anyway. I'd recommend going after the Viera (who |
| will perform a vanish spell from time to time) before the leader by the gate |
| at the end. Try to hold on to Espers. |
| |

Now to the last melee in this area.

______________________________________________________________________________
| |
| 620 - Monster Melee (The Ymir Qul Range) |
| |
| Open battle against the area's indigenous beasts. |
| |

| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Flans will constantly try to ambush you, but that shouldn't be too painful |
| at this point. Watch out for those Thunder Drakes, they can really hurt if |
| you're not careful. Other than this it's standard battle tactics. |

I'm glad that's over with. Let's continue on with the storyline missions. Head
up on the world map.

Ymir Qul Underground: Cavern that descends to the foundation of the sacred
mountain, attainable only by those who first conquer its heights. Within beats
the very heart of the mountain.

___________________
| 621 - Mission 6-4 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Audience at the Auralith (Ymir Qul Underground) |
| |
| Fran leads the party through a cave deep in the Ymir Qul. Within beats the |
| sacred heart of the mountain. Is the curtain about to rise on a new act of |
| their adventure? |
| |
| Judge Of Wings - Her armor harbors neither light nor mercy. |
| Type: Melee Level: 38 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |

| Type: Flying Level: 35 Nature: Water Weakness: Lightning |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison |
| |
| Mateus - The Corrupt. |
| Type: Flying Level: 36 Nature: Water Weakness: Lightning |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison, Blind, Sleep, Confuse, Stop, Slow, |
| Disable, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat the Judge of Wings; at least one ally must survive--! |
| !--Balthier must survive--! |
| |
| Okay this is what you need to do for this battle. Go to the right side and |
| capture the gate there. Next, take out the line of Shivars. THEN, send one |
| summon over by the Judge of Wings and lure her back over to you. They'll |
| perform some devastating hits, so be sure to keep your Carbuncle supply up. |
| Lightning Espers are of course recommended. If you lead them away you won't |
| really need to worry about whatever Balthier is doing. Also don't forget to |
| have Penelo raise strength and magick. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Black Garb, Auracite |
| Goblin Pouch: Bomb Cinder, Bomb Crank |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Immediately following this is the next battle. A few cutscenes occur and another
guest shows up. Sigh...

___________________
| 622 - Mission 6-5 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Balthier's Betrayal - Ymir Qul Underground |
| |
| The Judge of Wings dispatched, Balthier approaches the shimmering auralith. |
| What does he mean to do when he reaches it? |
| |
| Balthier - A legendary sky pirate who has a way with words and guns. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 35 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Fran - Balthier's loyal viera partner. Her skill with a bow is unmatched. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 35 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Goblin - Familiar nuisance armed with his time-tested punch. |
| Type: Melee Level: 35 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Sagittarius - Centaur archer who rains bolts of lightning on his foes. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 36 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |
| Golem - Woodland colossus who stands watch over Nature's creation. |
| Type: Melee Level: 36 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Poison |
| |
| Tonberry - "The past has a way of catching up with you." |
| Type: Melee Level: 39 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Titan - The ground trembles at his approach. |
| Type: Melee Level: 40 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Poison, Blind, Silence, Sleep, Stop, |
| Slow, Disable, Gravity |
| |
| Ba'Gamnan - Bangaa headhunter renowned for his skill and cruelty. |
| Type: Melee Level: 38 Nature: N/A Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: Poison, Sleep, Confuse, Stop, Disable, |
| Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Stop Balthier; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| This is an...interesting battle. Not only do you have Fran/Balthier to worry |
| about, but that pesky Ba'Gamnan guy showed up. Since those two hate each |
| other, they WILL fight one another. This means the best way to deal with his |
| team is to send Espers over to the left under Lluyd's Vanishga spell. The |
| best is a rank III Esper. Lead Ba'Gamnan over to where Balthier is. After he |
| is out of the way you're free to take his summoning gate. After that it's a |
| matter of dealing with Balthier and Fran. Vaan should obtain his Quickening |
| somewhere in there, so make use of it. Lots of Sagittarius will show up. If |
| you're not comfortable fighting that area yet send more Espers up to clear |
| the field for you. And summon at least four Carbuncles just in case. |

More scenes follow. Things become a little confusing.

Chapter 6 Complete!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
700 - Chapter Seven
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The End of Dreams: Currents of dense Mist coil and whirl here, where Vaan first
awoke in this realm. Vespterine light stirs a longing for home.

Lots and lots of scenes. What you need to do and where you need to move is
pretty self-explanatory. Watch Penelo, Kytes, and Filo. Move to where Lluyd is
and speak to him. Approach Balthier/Fran. After another short scene approach the
Alraune. The world map will appear. Approach the left area.

Illusion's Home: Waves of Mist radiate from this secluded spring, lapping at the
blooming flowers of remembrance. Herein all creatures revisit their home. It is
the place of birth and return for all Yarhi.

| |
| |

| |
| This is another one of those enemies-will-continuously-respawn missions. So |
| plan accordingly. They'll put up no fight, or very little at least. |

| Final Items: Auracite |

|______________________________________________________________________________|

Glad to get that out of the way. Strangely even though you are "supposedly"
separated from your companions you can still fight alongside them. Oh well. Now
go to the right on the map.

The Neverwood: Dark forest of the Yarhi where shadow and shade chase through
perpetual twilight. Shifting trees and softly flickering stones animate this
surreal wood.

___________________
| 702 - Mission 7-1 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Never Alone - The Neverwood |
| |
| Vaan wanders aimlessly after waking in an unknown land. Why did Balthier |
| destroy the auralith? Where is everyone? Lost and alone, Vaan calls out to |
| his friends. |
| |
| Alraune - Irritable beast short of stature and temper. |
| Type: Melee Level: 32 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |

| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; all allies must survive--! |
| |
| So basically the three groups need to meet up with each other. Be CAREFUL to |
| not press the X button and have everyone move towards the center. You will |
| need to take out the enemies along the way. Attack the Malboro together. And |
| after all the enemies are gone, a Great Malboro will appear. Hopefully this |
| part is not hard. |

| |
| |
| !--Find Vaan; all allies must survive--! |
| |
| You must "flip the switch" by touching the large flowers, which will somehow |
| raise the flower-door thingies. The enemies are not hard at all. There is |
| much treasure to receive here, so scavenge and stuff before talking to Vaan |
| and ending the mission. |

focus on an optional fight.

| First time we see Vampyrs, but it's no big deal. There are no gates here to |
| summon things, so conserve all your Espers. |

|______________________________________________________________________________|

I'm happy we're finished with these for now. Vaan needs to return to the End of
Dreams so we can return to the other world and all that stuff.

After a scene, approach the little Alraune group. Now go to Illusion's Home.

___________________
| 705 - Mission 7-3 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| Where The Heart Lies - Illusion's Home |
| |

| |
| |
| !--Endure the attacks of the Yarhi; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Don't be intimidated by the fact that Odin showed up. Fight Velis when there |
| is a break between enemy spawns (they'll never stop). Vaan should obtain his |
| Quickening somewhere in there. Cut through the surrounding enemies + Velis. |
| Continue to fortify Espers and keep the supply up. |

After several scenes the whole group will be back inside the airship. There's no
time to think, though. Gotta fight one more battle in this chapter. Go around
the Sky Saloon and buy things if you wish. I also took this opportunity to sell
my excess materials. Go to the bridge and speak with Balthier.

| |
| Aegyl Uprising - The Skies Of Lemures |

| |
| As long as you stand by the summoning gate and do NOT go by the aegyl by |
| yourself this battle is okay. Use both Flyers for now. There are only four |
| of them so keep your eyes peeled. Don't let any of them slip under the radar |
| and attack the soul crystal. |

Chapter 7 Complete!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
800 - Chapter Eight
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A royal airship will approach. Lolz who could it be!? Once you gain control,
head up to where the Leviathan is. If you touch that airship you can descend
back down to Ivalice. Finally, all your party members are accounted for.

Talk to everyone on the airship. Penelo will have another mission available once
you speak with her. So will Cu and Nono. Lluyd will offer a discount and fresh
materials. Tomaj has some new equipment worth looking at.

Let's begin with a simple summoning melee.

| direction is fine if this is your goal. Four leaders in total. Seeqs seem to |
| like running away. -_- Try to seal when you can. |

Time for Tomaj's missions. Let's begin with a simple one.

__________________________
| 802 - Battlefield Strahl |___________________________________________________
| |
| Heaven's Vigil |
| |
| The Strahl is in danger, kupo! She's on Arda, near Heaven's Vigil. You have |
| to do something! If anything were to happen to her, I'd never forgive |
| myself... |
| |
| Quetzalcoatl - Earthbound avian who flings bolts of lightning from his lowly |
| perch. |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Enemies will continuously spawn to the left. Seal the gate and summon your |
| rank III Esper. Replenish the Esper supply if you run low, which really you |
| shouldn't. Yeah...that's pretty much all. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Sky Amulet, 3 Auracite |
| Goblin Pouch: Earth Magicite, Earth Crystal |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Off to the next fight. This one is in the same region.

____________________
| 803 - Comfort Food |_________________________________________________________
| |
| The Ymir Qul Range |
| |
| It's been a long, hard fight, but moping about won't do you any good! |
| Straight from my ears to yours: fresh foodstuffs in Arda! You owe it to |
| yourself! |
| |
| Yellow Flan: An electrical charge courses through its quavering mass. |
| Type: Melee Level: 38 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |

| Immobilize, Disable, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Gather the foodstuffs; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| The Thunder Drake can be annoying, so be sure to summon Ground Espers. There |
| is no gate for this fight. Eventually the Tiamat will approach you, so be |
| aware of that fact. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Crimson Gear, Auracite |
| Goblin Pouch: White Gold, Pure Gold |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Southeast Treasure: Ninja Gear |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Equip whatever you managed to get from that battle. Now it seems we need to
fight against sky pirates and aegyl working together.

_____________________
| 804 - Ordered Chaos |________________________________________________________
| |
| Ymir Qul Underground |
| |
| Aegyl forces assemble amid the soaring peaks of Arda. They mean to invade |
| Ivalice, yet sky pirates are among their number. What drives them to side |
| with the invaders? |
| |
| Sellsword Sky Pirate - Miscreant complicit in the invasion of Ivalice. |
| Type: Melee Level: 42 Nature: N/A Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Forgetful Seeq - Sky pirate helping the aegyl he once fought. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 41 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |

| bloodlust. |
| Type: Flying Level: 40 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Remora - Lightning dances across this mechanized marionette. |
| Type: Melee Level: 40 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |

| Type: Flying Level: 41 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Carbuncle - The rays of its ruby light heal all they touch. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 41 Nature: Healing Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Shiva - Alluring Empress of Ice. Blizzards whirl and rage at her command. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 42 Nature: Water Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison, Blind, Silence, Confuse, Stop, |
| Slow, Immobilize, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Destroy the enemy soul crystal; your soul crystal must survive--! |
| |
| From the looks of things you'd assume this'd be a hard battle. Your enemies |
| have two directions to go in order to attack your crystal. But this is easy. |
| Why? Go over to the neutral gate and take it. After that, make a mad dash |
| for the enemy soul crystal. Don't attack anything else. Some Espers will |
| probably not make it, but you'll have an easy victory. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: 10000 Gil, Artemis Bow, 2 Auracite |
| Goblin Pouch: Water Magicite, Water Crystal |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Equip the bow if you wish and unlock any Espers if you can. Now we've off to
claim another scion.

_______________________
| 805 - Echo Of Thunder |______________________________________________________
| |
| Ymir Qul Underground |
| |
| A powerful scion lurks in the Ymir Qul Underground. The sound of thunder |
| rolls from the cavern, shaking the foundations of Arda. There will be danger |
| aplenty, but don't say I didn't warn you. |
| |
| Antlion - This beast rends flesh from its prey with envenomed jaws. |
| Type: Melee Level: 47 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Vampyr - Courtly demon that drinks the blood of the living. |
| Type: Flying Level: 47 Nature: N/A Weakness: Healing |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: Poison |
| |
| Ixion - Stampeding destrier that tramples foes 'neath thunderous hooves. |
| Type: Melee Level: 47 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |
| Sagittarius - Centaur archer who rains bolts of lightning on his foes. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 47 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |

| Type: Melee Level: 48 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Poison, Silence, Sleep, Confuse, Stop, |
| Slow, Disable, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat Shemhazai; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Balthier |
| |
| Now I know I don't need to tell you that Ground Espers will be of help here. |
| Capture the left gate, summon your rank III Esper (I chose Hashmal). Vaan is |
| pretty much essential so that he may perform his Quickening. Do NOT approach |
| Shemmy until you have this. You'll also want to fight this boss near the |
| upper-right summon gate, obviously. Have Penelo perform her dances whenever |
| you can. This may take a few tries. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Vortex, Brave Suit, Auracite |
| Goblin Pouch: Tyrant Wing, Wyvern Wing |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Here's a hint, each time there's a mandatory character it means they're about to
earn their Quickening. >_> In this case Balthier. Neat. Also equip his armor
because it's probably better than what you have. Let's acquire one more scion
before we leave the skies...

____________________________
| 806 - Destiny In The Stars |_________________________________________________
| |
| Gugoza Falls |
| |
| Stars are said to fall near the waters of Gugoza Falls, smashing boulders |
| into gravel. Could another scion have stirred on that deserted isle? |
| |
| Artic Wolf - Lupine beast that shreds its prey with claws of ice. |
| Type: Melee Level: 47 Nature: Water Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison |
| |
| Green Wyrm - The earth buckles and trembles beneath this great wyrm. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 47 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Malboro - Carnivorous plant with notoriously bad breath. |
| Type: Melee Level: 47 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Siren - Irresistible songstress who beguiles eye and ear alike. |
| Type: Flying Level: 47 Nature: Water Weakness: Lightning |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison |
| |
| Exodus - Judge-Sal who metes out justice from the heavens. |
| Type: Flying Level: 48 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Poison, Silence, Sleep, Confuse, Stop, |
| Slow, Immobilize, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat Exodus; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Fran |
| |
| There's no gates here, so summon fire things that are rank II. This also of |
| course means you'll need to be extra careful with losing Espers. The group |
| of Malboro WILL attack, so don't be ambushed by them. The last thing I'll |
| say is it'll be important to gain Vaan's quickening to take care of Exodus's |
| surrounding friends. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Final Items: Dancing Queen, Battle Suit, Auracite |

| Southwest Bones: Coeurl Whisker, Destrier Mane, Dragon Whisker |
| East Liquid: Stardust, Moondust, Sundust |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

...And Fran now has her Quickening. Equip the armors and unlock Exodus from the
Ring if you can. Time for a mandatory battle.

Dalmasca Estersand: Desert lying east of the Royal City of Rabanastre. Numerous
trade routes cross the desert sands, but recent Yarhi attacks have made commerce
with outlying regions all but impossible.

___________________
| 807 - Mission 8-1 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| An Irresistible Opportunity - Dalmasca Estersand |
| |
| The party returns to Ivalice at the behest of Ashe and Basch. Once there, |
| they meet an unexpected ally. |
| |
| Wayward White Mage - Feels summoning is wrong, but is unable to give it up. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 39 Nature: Healing Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Wanting Sky Pirate - Archer who compensates for shortcomings with Yarhi. |

| Type: Flying Level: 39 Nature: Water Weakness: Lightning |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison |
| |
| |
| !--Destroy the enemy soul crystal; your soul crystal must survive--! |
| |
| First I recommend going after the White Mage, sealing his gate, and then go |
| back to take care of the archer so she doesn't destroy your soul crystal. |
| After that things become a little tricky. You'll need to seal both gates |
| towards the west to prevent a strike when you're not looking. Fortify your |
| Espers continuously and stop anyone who tries to approach your crystal. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Final Items: 10000 Gil, Dragon's Devices, Tiger's Tactics, Auracite |

|______________________________________________________________________________|

Once back at the airship, speak with everyone to learn more about the situation.
Places will unlock for you to visit. Now speak with Cu...she should tell you
about a new Tomaj mission if you've crafted enough things. Time to check that
out before continuing.

...Also if you speak to Fran, you'll see a short scene with Ashe and Balthier.

| 808 - Incentive |____________________________________________________________
| |
| The Ymir Qul Range |
| |
| To take down stronger foes, we'll need stronger weapons. I've learned of a |
| material inside the cavern on Arda that should do nicely. Watch yourself in |
| there. |
| |
| Chocobo - Its swift legs carry it charging into battle. |

| Type: Flying Level: 40 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Poison, Blind, Sleep, Confuse, Stop, |
| Immobilize, Disable, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Gather the materials; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Not much to strategize here. The Lamia can be difficult but they're not much |
| to worry about. Make your way through the path until you reach the end where |
| you can collect the Ore. |
| |

Back to Ivalice and the Estersand's melee missions. You can't do anything with
the ore for now.

______________________________________________________________________________
| |
| 809 - Summoning Melee (Dalmasca Estersand) |
| |
| Open battle against foes who summon wave after wave of Yarhi. |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| This is a little tricky if you want all the treasure stuff. Basically I'd |
| let them take a gate while you loop around to get the crystal. Always have |
| at least one gate under your possession. |
| |

Unlock an Esper if you can with the auracite gained. Now we need to finish the
other Estersand melee battle.

| |
| 810 - Monster Melee (Dalmasca Estersand) |

| Type: Ranged Level: 56 Nature: Lightning Weakness: Ground |
| Resistance: Lightning Immunities: Confuse |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Enemies will continue to respawn...and notice the level for the wyrm. 56. So |
| it's best to have a rank III ground Esper for the fight. |

Now that we've taken care of this we can concentrate on mandatory missions. I
like to finish Giza Plains because it's annoying.

Giza Plains: Savannah to the south of the Royal City of Rabanastre, currently in
the Dry. Members of the Rabanstre watch have been dispatched to patrol the
plains amid reports of Yarhi sightings.

___________________
| 811 - Mission 8-2 |__________________________________________________________
| |
| The Secluded - Giza Plains |

| |
| |
| !--Seek out the informant; at least one ally must survive--! |
| !--The informant must survive--! |
| |
| This battle is as hard or as easy as you want it to be. That's because the |
| informant you're looking for is the one to the north. Sometimes he will go |
| to the right a little bit. Scramble over there (Vaan with his Sprint ability |
| is recommended). If you find the right guy this is no problem. If not...the |
| Yarhi will attack and eventually kill him. |

The Paramina Rift: Snowbound chasm in the northeastern reaches of Kerwon. The

| The Zombies are pushovers but the problem with them is that they respawn |

| spells. And again, watch out for Shiva. |

Now we have one more stop to make.

The Glabados Ruins: Ruins situated atop a lone island off the southern coast of
Bernenia in a region known as Glabados. Sky pirates assigned this name to the
ruins as well, its true name lost to history.

| |
| No gates means no rank III Espers. In fact, no Espers are used at all. You |
| have to examine the devices on either side to unlock the gates. Be CAREFUL |
| when you are fighting Ifrit, because if the Bombs self-destruct it's over. |
| Cast Penelo's strength and magick increasing spells. |
| |
| Soon an Elder Wyrm will appear. It will be him just by himself, so you don't |
| need to worry in terms of that. Again cast stat-enhancing spells. He will |
| fall soon after battling. |

Let's look at the new place now.

Roda Volcano: Active volcano that dominates the Bervenian countryside. Not so
much as a weed grows in its barren shadow. The races of Ivalice have long
avoided this desolate wasteland.

| The map in the ruins showed the way to a hidden village of exiled viera-- |

| |
| Enemies will spawn out of nowhere a lot. Obviously you need to summon lots |
| of water-related Espers. Control the gate as soon as you can. Set Kytes's |
| gambit to Blizzaga if you haven't already. |

Equip the vest if you want and head to...

The Feol Warren: Village of the Exiled, a band of viera driven from the Wood.
Tree roots wither from the heat of the molten rock below, and the houses built
of this warped wood seem to wait eagerly for destruction's release.

| The Exiled fled the Wood and settled among the crags and defiles of the |

| |
| !--Defeat Chaos; at least one ally must survive--! |
| !--Defeat Mydia; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| My personal rank III Esper of choice is Mateus. She'll help get the job done |
| here. There's no way around fighting Chaos. Try to prep if you can and seal |
| the nearby gate. When it comes to Mydia...there's a little trick here. All |
| you need to do is send over Espers from the northern most point to her. They |
| must be flyers. Let them do what damage they can before dying (Bomb's self- |
| destruct is recommended). Your party never needs to encounter her. |

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
900 - Chapter Nine
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Talk to lots of people because several missions will unlock if you do. There are
many new weapons, armors, and accessories to check out. For now we're going back
to complete the two melee missions.

______________________________________________________________________________
| |

| |
| Again lots of water Espers are good here. Vampyrs will often ambush you, be |
| aware of that. Towards the end all the enemies will come at you...run quick |
| towards the liquid if you want to scavenge it. |

Time for a summoning melee.

______________________________________________________________________________
| |
| 902 - Summoning Melee (The Feol Warren) |
| |
| Open battle against foes who summon wave after wave of Yarhi. |
| |
| Warrior - "The best defense is a good offense. So's the best offense." |
| Type: Melee Level: 45 Nature: N/A Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |

| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| There are two directions you can go. Either way, it's not that bad. The seeq |
| might be something to watch out for, though. As I've said before, water |
| Espers rule. You may want to consider sending Lluyd or Filo over to scavenge |
| on the other side without disturbing enemies (if possible). |

| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat Rikken, Elza, and Raz; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| I recommend at least using Kytes and Penelo here. Penelo of course is very |
| invaluable for healing and my Kytes knew Flare at this point. The third is |
| up to you. I took out Raz first...the others should come looking for you. If |
| you can, kill off as many White Hares as possible. They are annoying. |

_______________________________
| 904 - An Uninvited Invitation |______________________________________________
| |
| Shadow of Paharo |
| |
| My sources tell me a band of brutish bangaa has been holed up in the Shadow |
| of Paharo spoiling for a fight. Do I detect our dear friend Ba'Gamnan up to |
| his old tricks? Only one way to find out. |
| |
| Ba'Gamnan - Bangaa headhunter renowned for his skill and cruelty. |
| Type: Melee Level: 52 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: N/A |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat Ba'Gamnan and his crew; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Balthier |
| |
| Chaos is really, really good for this battle. Perfect time to test him out. |
| Go for the left Goblins and capture the gate here. Ba'Gamnan will really hit |
| you, so bring lots of Carbuncles. The others aren't so bad, but that doesn't |
| mean you shouldn't be careful. I hit him with Balthier's quickening, which |
| is fitting. |

| |
| Remember, the goal is to capture gates, not kill enemies. So even if they're |
| all gone you still need to deal with them. Titan can be a real pain here. |
| So try using a flyer against him. Enemies will amass very quickly. Try to |
| force them back and scavenge the items. |

| |
| That's no typo for the Golem level. They're at level 99. Sooo obviously it's |
| a good thing to avoid them. Take the back way if you can. Then rush over to |
| the tree and quickly gather the materials. To the south enemies will spawn, |

| Mandatory Characters: Basch |
| |
| This is very hard. The zombies will always respawn, so don't bother with |
| trying to beat them down. Also in case you were wondering, my rank III Esper |
| was Tiamat, because he is ranged so he won't get in the way, and also since |
| he knows Mighty Guard, which is very helpful. Capture the second summoning |
| gate after fighting your way through the crowd. Whenever you feel there is a |
| brief lull in the enemies, head over to Zalera. He doesn't have as much HP |
| as you'd suspect. As for your party...you need at LEAST Penelo and Lluyd so |
| that they can revive people. I like Kytes for his abilities and quickening, |
| which can wipe out the Vampyr in front of Zally. Basch is mandatory, so the |
| last character is up to you (Vaan's quickening is good). The rest is luck. |

Now Basch has his quickening. Awesome. Now all we need is Ashe's...also, Zalera
has been unlocked on the Ring. Check that out.

| The aegyl muster their strength at Roda Volcano. They no doubt have designs |

| |
| This map is deceiving because you can't actually cut past the northwest part |

| the right group of people because otherwise they'll go after your crystal. |
| When you make it to the end just rush over to the crystal and hope for the |

| 910 - Restoring Honor |______________________________________________________
| |
| Roda Volcano |
| |
| Monster have been sighted near the Feol viera village. That it is no longer |
| inhabited is the danger. We cannot let it become a den for the beasts. |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat the King Bomb; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Bleh, another unlimited spawn of enemies round. So it's pretty obvious you |
| need water-natured Espers here. Also water-natured weapons are of course |
| recommended. Bombs are scary because of their self-destruct abilities. I'd |
| say it's in your best interest to have EVERYONE's quickenings up before you |
| approach the big guy. And cast Penelo's dances if you can. Your Espers will |
| probably die, so try to hurry and end it. |
| |

Oddly Tomaj will approach the group and mention to stop by the shops. Once there
he'll tell you that weapons, etc, are reduced by 10 percent in price. Now we're
off to battle one last Scion in this chapter.

| 911 - Darkening Clouds Gather |______________________________________________
| |
| Oghu, the Veiled Isle |
| |
| Lord Larsa makes for good competition, but I don't think he can top this! A |
| huge column of water has risen above Oghu, the Veiled Isle. If this isn't a |
| sure sign of a scion, I don't know what is! |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat Famfrit; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Mandatory Characters: Ashe |
| |
| Famfrit will eventually come to you if you don't confront him after a period |
| of time. This means that, in order to get all the treasure, you'll need Filo |
| or Lluyd (or both) to fly over to the treasure chests while hopefully |
| avoiding enemies. You won't have time for it otherwise. Also do the usual of |
| having a flyer sneak over to the crystal from the backside. As for Famfrit, |
| have Shell ready. Lightning things are great here. |

check that out. Equip the new items. Okay, now it's finally time for all the
mandatory missions of the chapter.

Gates of Shattered Time: Gate before the Keep of Forgotten Time. Long ages have
weathered the stone gate, but its glory is undiminished. The Mist drifting about
the gate projects illusions of times long past.

Now we can enter the next area:

Keep of Forgotten Time: Abode of Feolthanos, the Eternal, whence he rules the

| |
| Ugh, the Carbuncle here get annoying really fast. Don't underestimate this |
| battle just because it's a simple defeat-the-Espers fight. Things will spawn |

| The Unconcsionable - Keep of Forgotten Time |
| |
| Over thousands of years the Eternal has become one with the auralith. Devoid |

| !--Defeat Mydia; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| I recommend taking the middle gate first. Things will just become chaotic |
| otherwise. You NEED to take all the gates to make this mission run as best |
| as possible. I suggest the center, then southeast, then southwest, then |
| northeast, then northwest. For me Mydia always approached me when I was at |
| the northwest gate, so save that until the very last. She has a move that'll |
| basically do massive damage, so be near a gate to immediately resummon your |
| Carbuncles. And take care of her Lamia! They'll be a pain if left alone. I |
| summoned as many Carbuncle as I possibly could, so you may try that. Also, I |
| recommend have Lluyd's and Penelo's gambit set to their revival abilities. |

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
1000 - Chapter Ten
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We'll face the first battle of this chapter, and then I'll talk to you about
other things that need to be done.

___________________________
| 1001 - Masterless Minions |__________________________________________________
| |
| Gates of Shattered Time |
| |
| The Gates of Shattered Time are overrun with Yarhi. What's more, they seem |
| to be appearing on their own, without anyone to summon them. Part of me |
| feels sorry for them, but we can't stand by and do nothing. |
| |
| Djinn - Mischievous flame sprite that scorches its foes. |
| Type: Melee Level: 53 Nature: Fire Weakness: Water |
| Resistance: Fire Immunities: Disable |
| |
| Shivan - Heir apparent to Shiva's chilling might. |

| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| |
| !--Capture the summoning gate; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| There is a central group of Tonberries that you must not underestimate. |
| Other than that this is pretty much a standard battle against normal enemies |
| here. Capture all the gates to win. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Final Items: Gigas Chestplate, Mirage Vest |
| Goblin Pouch: Fire Crystal, Fire Gem |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Now that we're done with that mission, you probably want to take on the rest of
the side missions, right? Wrong. You're not ready yet. The easiest fight is the
one against Bahamut and the like, and there's no way you can win that battle
unless you're a) really, really lucky, or b) you've trained and crafted the best
weapons you can at this point. I think we should opt for the latter choice.

First you should concentrate on gathering the highest grade craft materials, so
that you can train simultaneously. Don't waste time with weapons for people who
already have their ultimates, though. Here's a list of what you should have at
this point for your characters:
- Kytes (if crafted--to me that's the Zeus Mace)
- Filo's Vortex
- Balthier's Formalhaut
- Fran's Sagittarius
- Ashe's Volcano

That's not to say something you craft cannot turn out to be more powerful,
however. So experiment around with things. For right now, I'd make the best that
you can with Cu's Forbidden Grimoire book. So train while hunting down materials
in various places. See materials section for more details.

I'd also recommend double-checking Tomaj's shop for any armor you may need to
purchase that is stronger than what you may have currently.

__________________________
| 1002 - Wings Of Midnight |___________________________________________________
| |
| Gates of Shattered Time |
| |
| The massive creatures Tomaj saw in the keep are powerful scions of old. They |
| are led by a great black wyrm the party has encountered once before. |
| |
| Goblin - Familiar nuisance armed with his time-tested punch. |
| Type: Melee Level: 80 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Shivan - Heir apparent to Shiva's chilling might. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 80 Nature: Water Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison |
| |
| Golem - Woodland colossus who stands watch over Nature's creation. |
| Type: Melee Level: 81 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Stop |
| |
| Carbuncle - The rays of its ruby light heal all they touch. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 81 Nature: Healing Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |
| |
| Titan - The ground trembles at his approach. |
| Type: Melee Level: 82 Nature: Ground Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Ground Immunities: Poison, Blind, Silence, Sleep, Stop, |
| Slow, Disable, Gravity |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat the scions; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| I only listed the starting rank III Esper, but there are lots more. As we |
| can see, the regular Espers have fire-weaknesses, so exploit that. I used |
| Bomb, Shivan, Balasa, Carbuncle of course, and Zalera because...I just like |
| him, I dunno. Next, let's talk characters. Basch is amazing with his Shining |
| Ray move. It'll pwn everything. I recommend that for a gambit. Kytes is also |
| very helpful, I set his gambit to Charge and then mainly kept my eye on him |
| and what spells he could cast. Penelo and Lluyd should both be here, with |
| their gambits set to their Revival abilities. The last char is up to you (I |
| used Balthier because it's not good to have more than one melee character, |
| they take up too much space and waste time). |
| |
| First I recommend taking the southern-east gate. After that, summon the rank |
| III and proceed as fast as you can to the west gate. Take care of the Goblin |
| things there (shouldn't be hard). And take the gate. Then the Shivan group |
| should approach. After that, take care of the Carbuncle/Golem group (do NOT |
| approach the Titan group yet, go around). If you don't, the Carbuncles are |
| much more of a pain later. When you feel ready, Shell, Protect, and raise |
| Strength and Magick. |
| |
| BEFORE you defeat Titan, capture the gate. This is very, very important. And |
| then resummon when necessary. Fortify if you get the chance. Ramuh, Shiva, |
| Ifrit, and Bahamut will appear, in that order. At some point you should have |
| quickenings appearing. Kytes's is very, very helpful for Bahamut's group of |
| minions. Carbuncles are annoying, try to take them out. And keep your own |
| supply of Carbuncles up. Fortify them before all the others. |
| |
| Lastly, there's a little trick I'd like to mention to you. Titan will NOT |
| approach you before you attack him. So this means you can be a little sneaky |
| using Lluyd. Have your whole party stay near the left gate. Then have Lluyd |
| attack using his jump move and then RUN back to the party. Titan should walk |
| over to you here. If Lluyd is under immobilize, have Penelo close to get rid |
| of that. Being in this location can save you precious seconds of heal and |
| recover time. I chose the left gate because Ramuh is not that bad, unlike |
| Shiva. Have Kytes be a little daring in the beginning by leaving him under |
| attack for a short while to build his quickening for Bahamut's group. |
| |
| When it was all said and done I managed to win with a level 55 party (barely |
| though). I don't recommend that however, try to train at least to 60. |

...And we now have Bahamut on the Ring. Not surprising. In addition we've been
given several neat new weapons, armor, and an accessory that you may equip if
you wish. Two more Espers left.

| 1003 - Keeper Of Precepts |__________________________________________________
| |
| Well of Whispered Oaths |
| |
| A scion of peerless strength has waited in the hidden recesses of the keep, |
| sealed away by the Eternal for fear of the power it wields. What horrible |
| secrets does the lord of the scions hold? |
| |
| Minotaur - Bull-headed monster of legendary might. |
| Type: Melee Level: 94 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: N/A |

| |
| Ice Drake - Wyrmkin enamoured of sea and frost. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 94 Nature: Water Weakness: Fire |
| Resistance: Water Immunities: Poison |
| |
| Zodiark - Keeper of Precepts, before whom the mighty are rendered weak. |
| Type: Ranged Level: 95 Nature: N/A Weakness: N/A |
| Resistance: N/A Immunities: Poison, Blind, Silence, Sleep, Confuse, |

| |
| |
| !--Defeat Zodiark; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| ...It's too bad we don't have any dark masks to nullify that Final Eclipse |
| move this time...sigh. Well, a lot of my character strategy is similar to |
| Bahamut's fight--gambits and all. Check that so I don't repeat myself. |
| |
| Now the important thing to remember here is that Zodiark will never actively |
| seek you out and attack, so the first part of this battle should be pretty |
| obvious in capturing the gates. Then, stay in the middle and wait for the |
| enemies to approach you. Use this time to obtain quickenings and fortify the |
| Espers (I used Bahamut for this fight, naturally). I also recommend Golems |
| and Lamias. This is a matter of personal preference though. |
| |
| Now onto Zodiark himself. My strategy was as follows: have Bahamut be part |
| of Basch's group. Then summon as many Golems/whatever under him so he has a |
| total of eight things (maybe one Carbuncle as well). Then while the party is |
| in the center, send Bahamut and anything else Basch has in his group to |
| Zodiark. Right before they attack, have him perform his quickening which can |
| make them totally immune to damage for a short period. While they are there |
| and attacking things (hopefully mainly Zodiark), his quickening will quickly |
| build again. Rinse and repeat. If he doesn't obtain it again right away, you |
| only need to simply resummon and continue it again. Don't bring the main |
| party near him. Using this strategy I defeated him around level 60. |

| Gates of Shattered Time |
| |
| Could it be? Is this the ancient man of mystery come again? Someone walks |
| the bridge at the Gates of Shattered Time... Hold fast to your swords. |
| |
| Enkidu - Gilgamesh's vicious comrade-in-arms. |

| |
| !--Defeat Gilgamesh; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Bleh, this is so easy compared to the previous two battles. You may only |
| have three characters and no Espers on the field. I chose Basch with Shining |
| Ray gambit, Penelo with her Curaga gambit, and Kytes with his Flare gambit. |
| When it comes time to approach Gilgamesh, Basch should probably cast Protect |
| and maybe eventually use his quickening. My party was the same level as he |
| was at this point, so no trouble at all. |

Note that you can save between each battle. I'd take advantage of that.

| 1005 - Midlight's Deep |_____________________________________________________
| |
| Well of Whispered Oaths |
| |
| The dungeon extends untold reaches beneath the keep. The creature that waits |
| in its depths is said to possess the power to defy the gods themselves. |
| |
| |
| !--Destroy the enemy soul crystal; your soul crystal must survive--! |
| |
| This makes things hard because there are so many enemy leaders. What I did |
| is I took the first gate to the left, then killed the center leader, and |
| then I made a mad dash for their crystal. |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| No summon gates here, so replace the rank III. I chose Golems and Shivars, |
| but other things like Lamia can work well. Great Malboro will spawn in the |
| center, first one, then two, and so on. I cast Shell each time (and also |
| Bravery) before taking the bombs on just in case. You'll need to move quick |
| around the place. It doesn't matter which section you chose first. |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat the War-chief; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| Uhh, this is hard. Your team will be separated and you'll need to battle |
| your way to the Seeq leader. So basically all I did was ignore everyone else |
| and simply pressed X and dashed over to the Seeq. Seemed to work well. |
| |
| |
| !--Survive the enemy onslaught; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| No gates again. Get rid of the rank III. Odin will walk in a specific path |
| around the circle. Whatever you do, do NOT save him until the very end. Kill |
| him when there are no enemies around. |
| |
| |
| !--Destroy the enemy soul crystal; your soul crystal must survive--! |
| |
| Here we face off against our characters' "evil twins" or something. They are |
| identical to your leaders in every way. I had one leader stay behind to take |
| care of the soul crystal (I chose Basch) and the rest made their way around |
| to the enemy soul crystal. Summon lots of Carbuncle and this should work. |
| |
| |
| !--Open all the treasure chests; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| You may only have three leaders (I picked my same from Gilgamesh's battle, |
| Basch, Kytes, and Penelo). So basically the things around the area will be |
| patrolling around and you need to avoid them as best you can. You absolutely |
| MUST avoid Bahamut. As you can imagine. Also, the northeast group of Espers |
| is hiding a treasure chest since their number obscures it on the map. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Treasure: Mythril Shards, Tiger-eye, Zodiac Ore, Diamond, Earth Stone, Earth |
| Gem, Water Stone, Water Gem, Fire Stone, Fire Gem, Storm Stone, Storm Gem |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| |
| !--Capture the summoning gates; your soul crystal must survive--! |
| |
| Here's how I did this one. I had one person capture the northeast gate while |
| the rest stood near the soul crystal and defended it. The important thing to |
| remember is that the Tricksters have the capability to cast Vanishing spells |
| on themselves and their group. This means you'll have to keep a mental note |
| of how many Tricksters you've killed. After I had one gate captured and some |
| leaders started to go down, I had someone go to the other gates while the |
| rest stood guard. And you'll have to be good about standing guard because if |
| not they only need one chance to destroy the crystal (especially the ones |
| that can create the flameball, pay special attention to them). |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemies; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| You'll need to have Espers that are immune to confusion. This means anything |
| that is the lightning nature. This isn't too hard, but it'll be much easier |
| to have Penelo's quickening when the wolves come out. |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat all enemy leaders; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| No gates to be seen. You can breathe easy with this battle, because you can |
| actually take your time for once. I highly suggest going counterclockwise |
| for this circle, because then the enemy leaders will be exposed. The last |
| two groups will approach you, so think carefully about which ones you want |
| left. I suggest the Ninja and Champion. I recommend taking care of the Aegyl |
| and like, then going in the center, then kill the Viera, then the Moogle at |
| his back so you might have a chance of surviving him. |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat Yiazmat; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| It figures this guy would show up. Sigh. As in FFXII, he knows a move called |
| Death Strike, which is pretty self explanatory. So have a revival gambit |
| ready. Surprisingly, he's at only level 70. He's also weak to ground, so I'd |
| keep that in mind. Now before you freak out, you may use the same strategy |
| we used for Zodiark, with Basch using his shield. This time, summon Zodiark, |
| plenty of Golems, and one or two Carbuncle. Your other characters should die |
| probably, but that's alright. Lastly, you should probably focus on killing |
| the four surrounding Carbuncle of his before attacking him. |

After the battle Vaan's weapon, Anastasia, will power up. If you complete this
dungeon nine more times, its stats will max out.

You should now have all of Filo's mementos back in the Sky Saloon. Neat. Well,
it's time to confront the final villain.

| !--Defeat Feolthanos; at least one ally must survive--! |
| |
| The enemy's level depends on how much you've completed the game. If you have |
| 100%, they'll all be at level 99. Yeeeah. Here's what I recommend: The Wing |
| Wraiths are Melee, so have Wyverns in your troupe. Melee Espers will do you |
| no good for this fight. Then Carbuncles and Bombs and one other random rank |
| I Esper. You can go with Rabbits if you're daring but I would not suggest to |
| do that at all. Then the rank III should probably be Zodiark if you have him |
| or Bahamut if you have him, and if not then a ranged rank III of your choice |
| (it's best to have at least one good ranged...you'll see why soon). |
| |
| Character gambits should look something like this: Basch's set to Shell (at |
| least in the beginning when the right arm is still there), Lluyd's set to |
| either Revive or Jump, Vaan's set to Dervish, Penelo's to either Holy or her |
| Raise ability, Ashe's to Comet, Balthier's to Tri-Shot, Kytes's to Charge |
| and then watch when his abilities become available, Filo and Fran...well |
| let's just face it, by now you should know not to use them ever. |
| |
| So the first thing you need to do is take out the arm with the magic staff |
| that can hurt you regardless of where you are on the battlefield. When the |
| battle starts, summon two Carbuncles/Rabbits under Basch (USE him for this, |
| you'll be sorry if you don't) and as many Wyverns as you can after that. You |
| should probably summon them from the left gate, not right. Next take care of |
| the Wing Wraiths that will approach or who are already in groups. |
| |
| Piece of advice--do NOT continue to attack his arms when the Wing Wraiths |
| show up. Stop and take care of them before their number becomes too much to |
| handle. Keep careful tabs on your Esper count. FORTIFY...and keep Basch's |
| Shell gambit up when the right arm decides to attack. Use Lluyd's quickening |
| as much as possible. Once that arms falls, this fight becomes much more |
| manageable for now. Once you start attacking the left arm, you should change |
| Basch's gambit to Protect, probably. You won't need to worry about magickal |
| spells for now. Continue the pain until both arms are gone. |
| |
| The core is left now...things become tricky. Here is where Basch's Shield |
| quickening will start to come into play. Set his gambit back to Shell first |
| of all. Have Espers under his command completely fortified before you make |
| them approach Feolthanos. Send about three Carbuncles up, the rank III, and |
| the Wyverns. Do NOT send Basch up with them because it's too risky. |
| |
| After this you should know the strategy by now...before Basch's group is |
| attacked, use his quickening so they are immune to damage. Have them attack |
| the core while the Wing Wraiths pummel them to gain Basch's quickening again |
| for you to repeat. Meanwhile, your main party should be clear on the other |
| side of the room, away from the middle and by a gate. Bahamut will appear on |
| the top of the stairs once Feolthano's HP has been drained 60%. He will be |
| 30 levels higher than you. So have Basch's group turn their attention to the |
| dragon now while he continues to use his quickening. Then once he's gone, |
| return your concentration to the core and it won't be long. |
| |
| Another way to do this is to have your ranged fighters stand by the stairs |
| and damage him from there while not being hit by his beam...I don't prefer |
| this method though, because it's hard to get them to stand there and hit him |
| at the same time and Bahamut kinda messes that up. |
| |
| |
| !--Defeat Feolthanos; Vaan must survive--! |
| |
| Yes, there's more. Now Vaan must fight him alone. Which sucked for me since |
| I never used Vaan after my main party arrived on the scene. Anyway, running |
| away from Feolthanos won't do any good, you need to battle with him before |
| your allies appear to help. Once they do, get Vaan out of the way (even if |
| he's not underleveled, you don't want to risk him being killed). This isn't |
| a part to worry about or anything, the allies will arrive only after Vaan |
| has lost a certain percentage of his HP. |
