----------------------------------------- '-----------------------'

Consider this is the first real boss in the game, nothing hard actually.

This boss is weak against Water. It can Poison you, just remember to cure it.

Because of Ashe only performs the attacks during the battle, keep healing

her, she can help lot.

Save Crystal is just right behind you. Hit the golden statue/urn for the map.

Start from now, DON'T touch that treasure chest on the right, one of the two

chests there hiding an Elixir, do not open it if you want 'Strongest Halberd/

Zodiac Spear' weapon easily later of the game. For more details about this

weapon, read the "11. Weapons" section.

In the hall, go forward to watch an event. Talk to the soldier, then talk to

the Palace Servent near the pole. Now press "Square" to call the soldier over,

once he leaves his position, run past him, up the stairs and enter the door.

The map of this area is roughly like this:

__| |____________| |

X__ A ____________B |____

___ C _______D____ |

| | | |_____

_____| |____________| _____

S_____ F ____________E |

|______________ '-----

|______

You start at S, and don't care about the passages at right side. Some soldiers

are blocking your way at point A,C,E.

All you need to do is press "Square" to provoke the soldiers away from blocking

you. First provoke the soldiers at E from F area, while they're coming, run to

the passage below of the map. Now no more soldiers at E, so go to B and provoke

the A soldier. Then go to D, examine the Lion Signet on the floor and use the

Crescent Stone that was given by Dalan before, and the Faint Wall at X will be

activated. Now provoke the C soldiers from D, then run back to E and provoke

the F soldiers. Go back to the passage below and move to X.

Inside the secret passage, just go to the end of the passage and check the

switch on the left wall, push it to unlock the door on the other side here,

open it to next area. After the scene, you will obtain Goddess's Magicite,

now just run to upper level through the stairs to trigger another scene.

A Save Crystal is here. The right route leads to nothing, just run up the left

route. Go East and then North, eventually you'll come to the North Spur Sluice,

find the chest at the West end of this section for a Mage Masher.

Penelo will leave the party before you entering Dalan's Place. You will

obtain a key item, the Crescent Stone after speaking with Dalan. Now move to

the Northern area which is the Storehouse 5. Remember the chest in front of

Dalan's Place is the chest that you're NOT supposed to open, or else you'll

lose an easy chance to obtain one of the strongest weapons later. Once you

reach the Storehouse, Kytes will give some items to you. Now enter the left

gate which leads to your next objective.

Keep going straight to the South, on the way encounter some enemies. When you

reach the Nomad Camp, you can find a shop here and Save Crystal at the corner.

Talk to Nomad/Masyua in front of the giant black crystal and choose the first

option. Penelo joins with you after the scene. Now talk to the girl in front,

leave this area you will get some items from Penelo.

Gambit function added in the battle command. Now head to central South section,

fight more enemies if you want, but make sure you DO NOT disturb that two giant

beasts (Werewolf) walking around the South-West corner. Another Save Crystal is

in the South section (Crystal Glade). Speak to Jinn near the dark crystal and

choose the first option to begin the mission. Now you need to raise up the

energy until 100% from the shining dark crystal, view the map screen to find

out the location of all four dark crystals (exclamation mark), they're located

in four different area.

When the energy gets to 100%, you will be back at the Crystal Glade, and

return to the camp. After the scene, you obtain 3 Potions and 2 Telepo-stone.

Next, back to Rabanastre.

Reach to Southern area here, enter Old Dalan's Place near the water way. Don'topen the treasure chest in front of this room, it has some connections with a weapon called 'Strongest Halberd' which you can obtain it later. More details about this weapon, read the "Weapons" section, it's call Zodiac Spear on the US version. After the scene with Dalan, head to Southgate section through the circle gate that's nearby. You can see the first Gate Crystal here, it works as Save Crystal, the extra feather is teleport function. Choose the second option is to teleport, but you have to activate the Gate Crystal in other location to be used, and currently you don't have other places to go. Anyway, teleporting using the Gate Crystal requires an item called "Teleport Stone (Telepo-Stone)", which are fixed under "Loot" section in Inventory list.

Before leaving the town, thing that you must know is about the clan. In the Northernmost Street section, go to the West area, there is a room you can't enter before you talk to the bangaa in front. Just speak with him to enter that room, the Clan Headquarter. Speak to the moogle named Montblanc at upstair to become a member of the clan. Later of the game you can always return him for rewards when your clan rank increases, when you defeated certain bosses and more. Also they're certain Mob Hunt missions you can only get from Montblanc. You can join as member anytime before you move on the final place of the game, you will still get the rewards.

You can also find the clan shop in Bazaar section, where located South-West of here. Things that are selling in the clan shop will always update when your clan ranking increase. Again, the clan shop will only exist after you became a clan member.

Next, go outside from Southgate of Rabanastre.
