You won't fight too many difficult enemies in this cave. Just have Terra fight, Locke steal, and Edgar use the auto-crossbow, and you will make it out relatively unscathed. |
| If you do get scathed, you can always come back to the Recovery Spring and heal your HP and MP for no cost. Not a good business decision on South Figaro's Cave, if you ask me. |
 |
 |
Do NOT take any of the treasures in the cave yet. The items in them currently are not worth it. If you wait about 5 hours, you will come through this cave again, and you will get much better items, so I would wait if I were you. |
| Anyway, you should make it out of the cave pretty quickly, and back to civilization, or something. Just head a bit to the southeast and you will come to the town of South Figaro. Reccomended Level: 11 |

And a lovely little town it is, at that. Why, what is this building in front of me, do I hear a wark? Its a chocobo stable. Ah, the chocobo, symbol of Final Fantasy games worldwide. But if I were you, I wouldn't waste your money now. You really don't need a chocobo to get where you are going, so just proceed to taking a stroll through the town. |
| When you get to the relic shop, the only thing worth buying is the sprint shoes, and let me tell you, these things are great. Your play time will be shortened many hours just by being able to run everywhere. You will use these for the rest of the game, so you might want to buy two or three. Of course, only one person in your group need equip them at one time. |
 |
 |
Anyway, next head for the house on the north side of town. Go in the house and exit out the door just to the right of it, and head all the way back here like so, and head left and down to enter a secret door. |
| Inside the room you will find an elixir in the clock. Head back into the house and up the stairs. |
 |
 |
Go in the first door upstairs. |
| There is another secret room if you go behind the bookcase here in this house. Man alive, this house has more secret passageways than the mansion in Kenneth Brannagh's Hamlet. |
 |
 |
Once again, if you keep going down this passageway here, you will come to another secret place that has some nice relics. Give the hyper wrist to Terra and the RunningShoes to Edgar. Then, go back to the relic shop and buy star pendants for everybody who has an open relic slot. You will need them in the level to come. |
| You are almost done with this town, but not quite yet! Next, head on over to the cafe and try to talk to the weird looking purple guy at the counter. Yes, you guessed it, its the typical doesn't-talk-has-no-emotions cold-blooded killer. FF6 version, nonetheless. |
 |
 |
And just to keep the tradition alive, you can all recite with me "Isn't he beautiful folks?" |
| "He'd slit his mama's throat for a nickel." Now there is a quality Woolsey one-liner if I've ever seen it. Don't mind me, I'm just obsessed with pointing out all the one-liners in this game. But don't worry, there aren't *that* many, at least you can all hope not. |
 |
 |
ONE last thing before you leave town. Only one, I promise. Of course, you'll want to head on over to the weapon/armor/item shops. Buy the best equipment for everybody, and stock up on tonics and antidotes, and a tent if you have one. Then, make sure to grab the warp stone hidden in the barrel over here. Now, head out of town and go to the little house north of South Figaro. |
| Inside this house you will gain some info regarding Sabin and his whereabouts. Talk to the weird guy outside the house and he will tell you Sabin and some guy named Vargas have run off to Mt Kolts. Well, guess what, that means its your time to go too! Head on out of town and back to the ol` world map. |
