You'll have to fight 3 more Battlers: Hatamoto, Firewheel and Silver Star. Those are a bit harder than the previous battlers, but don't worry; keep pummeling without giving them a chance to react until you beat them. After that, save the game and go talk to Citan. After a scene, you'll have to fight Wiseman. You can win this battle, although it isn't necessary to do it; just use your best deathblows. After some scenes, you'll be at the inn. Go to the Battling Arena to fight the Champ!

This battle is a bit different than the others; it has 5 rounds, and you can lose (You'll just have to try again). Try using Ether bullets against Stier since he's really strong at short-range attack. After your victory and a scene at Aveh, you can use Rico's room, sell monster parts for better prices, visit other areas of Nortune or even leave the city (but you're not escaping...yet). Go check the Central District first. Talk to the soldiers at the entrance and they'll let you pass. Enter the East door, head down the stairs, enter the South door, then the West door ignoring the chickens :P. Jump into a box next to the shelf and jump pressing the Cross button to get an Insulated Ar. Now activate the crane next to the shelf. Move it from the right to the left to hit the side of the crates at the end of the room, then jump at the hook to reach the Power Magic. Now go back all the way and enter the elevator. Take the stairs to the West and talk with the Kaiser. After some scenes, check the drawer (in front of the mirror) to get the Momento Locket (An acessory for Rico only), then leave the room to watch another scene, then go back to the Kaiser's room to get a Knight Mail. Leave the District and head for the A Block. After some talking with Hammer, exit the top floor by jumping at the chimney (...don't ask :P) to have a conversation with the ex-doctor from the D Block. Before you leave, she'll tell the order to knock at her door (unless you want to drop down the chimney again...). After you leave, check one of those alleys to find Big Joe. This isn't necessary for the game, but if you pay him 5000G, you'll find an M Disk on the same alley later. The item and accessory shop have nothing new compared to Hammer, buy only if you need to restock. Now go back to the D Block and watch another scene. When you're ready, take a nap on the Champ's bed.

Climb the ladder to the roof, jump the 2 boxes, then climb to the observation tower. Jump quickly twice to reach the front car. You'll be on the Gear Docks (being more exactly, near it). Check the South door to watch a scene, then climb up the crates and enter the duct. Head South, and if you head West and look at the grate you'll see Weltall. Continue South, East, South, East, then North to reach a door. Jump to the door to your West (You'll have climb over if you fall). You should head West, then South to exit the area, but you can peek at some optional grates (They'll be listed always from the first junction of this area). Heading all the way the North (and a bit to the East) shows some guards talking. Heading North, then East shows more guards talking. Heading all the way to the West shows the Gear Dock again. After you're done. head West, then South. After watching a scene, get the Master Key at the shelf and a Frame HP30 (Equip it NOW. :P). Head East through the next door, continue East, then North. Check the left side of the machine on the North Wall to get 100 G, then continue North. Head West, the open the South door with the Master key. There's a small box to the South which contains a Beam Coat. Now go back North to the hallway, head North, then West to the next door. Circle around and get the Minigear near the books and some guards will attack you. One of them will drop an Evasion Ring (and probably some other items, as usual), so defeat them and head North. You'll be back at the beginning but now you can open the East door (and I'd recommend you to save). Head East, then West and get the Survival Tent on your way down the stairs. Continue until you reach the gear dock itself (finally). Before getting Weltall, move near SouthEast, talk to the gear that's different from all others and upgrade Weltall (Also, equipping the Beam Coat will help a lot against the next bosses). Touch the switch near the elevator to switch gears until you can board Weltall. Pick up the other elevator and after some scenes, you'll have to fight a Rankar R at the Arena.

This is a very easy boss, just pound him until he's down. There'll be more scenes and you'll be at the ether-controlled ship, fighting the Gebler Units (As usual they're relatively easy and only serve to damage you before the real boss battle). Weltall will fight Aegisknight R, Swordknight R and Clawknight R. Stier will then join against the Wandknights R (Group on each of them individually). After a long scene with Elly, you'll fight Dominia controlling the hetch. Use booster and ignore the Super Aerod until you beat the Hetch. After a long scene you'll be at the A Block so that you can plan to infiltrate the Goliath Factory.
