As soon as you enter
Daguerreo, take the
path to the right and get the Capricorn
Stellazzio. Then head out of the room to the right.
Step on the small platform to ride up a level. Speak to Noggy,
who doesn't have any mail for you, and save the game. The man behind the desk is a synthesist, and he has some great pieces available. It is especially important that you synthesize a Sargatanas for Zidane. Speak to the Four-Armed Man, who will tell you your treasure-hunting rank. Continue left through the doorway. |
| Speak to Engineer Zebolt, then to the Young Man, who is arguing with the Sales Clerk. Agree with the sales clerk every time to get a Meteor Card, or agree with the Young Man every time to receive a Flare Card. Search the pile of books to the right of Engineer Zebolt. Go to the left and speak to the Scholar, who is looking for a book. When you tell him that you saw it in the pile of books you just examined, he will be very appreciative, but, more importantly, he will move. Go behind the bookshelf where he was standing and take the stairs down. The fellow on the left wants to see your Namingway Card. (You did get it from Kuja's room, right?) He will allow you to rename a character. Continue past him to the left and get the Elixir on the stairs. Walk all the way around the balcony and get another Elixir on the stairs on the other side. Return to where you spoke to the Scholar. |  |

The librarian will let you
rest
for 100 gil. Walk to the small
pedestal to the right of the doorway and press the button. This
will cause something to happen downstairs. Go through the doorway
to the right of the library and speak to the weaponsmith. He
needs help to get his shop running again. Go back downstairs and
to the chamber under the weaponsmith. Speak to Cleyran Oracle
Kildea on the right, and then examine the lift controls on the
wall.
Lower the left lever until the left platform is all the way down.
Go examine the lift to discover a hole in the wall. |
| Pick up the staff leaning against the bookshelves near the oracle. Zidane will put it in the hole. Now lower the right lever until the right platform is at the bottom. Step on it and ride up a floor. Speak to the weaponsmith, who is very pleased, and makes his inventory available to you. He has the best selection of equipment you've encountered thus far. Ride the platform back down (don't you feel sorry for the guy standing on the middle platform?), and walk back to the entrance area. Examine the Dragon God monolith at the back of the room, and you will be able to transform five ores into an aquamarine, if you wish. You can do this as many times as you like. |  |
| Go back outside. Sacrobless Island is a great place to level up. The Grand Dragons are very tough, and the Gimme Cats get angry if you don't give them what they ask for, but the experience you get fighting here is great, and being right next to Daguerreo makes it easy to restore your HP and MP whenever necessary. You may want to stay here for a while to get your characters' levels up. | |

When you are finished here, I
would recommend taking some time to play
Chocobo Hot and Cold. You should also finish up the coffee
sidequest if you haven't yet done so. For more information on
both of these, see the Side Quests
and Mini-Games section. There
are a couple of other
places to go before you head to Ipsen's Castle. In the valley northwest of Treno at the north side of South Gate, there is a moogle named Mosco hiding in a tree stump. The chest beside him contains an Elixir. You can find 3206 gil in the chest by the door, and another Elixir in a chest to the right of the doorway. |
| If you go back to the South
Gate/Bohden Arch entrance (where Dagger rode in
a pickle bag), there is an Elixir
Card in a chest at the top of a
ladder. Go to Quan's Dwelling with Vivi and Quina in your party
for a very interesting scene, and get the Running Shoes from the
clock. You can also play Chocobo Hot and Cold here if you have a
Dead Pepper, as there is a bubble below the balcony at the back of
Quan's house. When you have done everything you want to do before continuing with the story, set your course for Ipsen's Castle and take off. |
