The first thing you see while you're flying around wasting precious fossil fuels is a bird. Holy SHIT, not a BIRD! You never see those while flying in the air! We better follow it, because it must be important. Well, needless to say, it takes you to the town of Miranda. I strongly reccomend not going into that desert yet, unless you're suicidal, in which case by all means. |
| Thou? What the hell are you talking about you old crackpot? (time passes) Oh right, Cyan, that loser. ::sigh:: I guess we have to go save his sorry ass now. Come on team. |
 |
 |
But wait. You almost forgot weapons and armor dummy. You can by a lot of very useful stuff here. Get crystal equipment for those who can equip it, though I reccomend the oath veil for the chicks. Dark Gear is good for Sabin. Don't forget to buy weapons either. |
| Go to the house on the far right side of town to see what this desperate lass is up to. Apparently she's been receiving letters from Mobliz? I don't think so. This could only be the doing of one man! Or maybe two, if they're lazy. |
 |
 |
You guessed it. Talk to the bird. Time to follow him once more. |
| But first, forget about Cyan. Learning cool and powerful techniques is much more important. So fly your ass on over to the top center of the map until you see this formation of five trees in a cross-shape. |
 |
 |
Enter into this area through the center tree to FINALLY find out who that damn Duncan character is. |
| In fact, Duncan is so happy to see Sabin again, that he teacher him the ultimate blitz: Bum Rush. Go ahead, try it out, but only under strict parental supervision. Many a broken vase and dead cat have happened because of this move. Aren't you glad I captured this image with all their faces like that? It's like...a Kodak moment or something. |
 |
 |
Head back to the Miranda area. Don't gain any levels around here yet, though. Why, you ask? Cause sometimes you'll come across this group of enemies, and though they probably won't kill you, they'll do some seriously pounding on you, and they're more trouble than it's worth right now. |
| Head north of Miranda to the place you saw the bird go, land your ship, and head on in. I wonder what town this could be? |
 |
 |
You knew it would be bad, didn't you? Yes, welcome back to Zozo. Talk to the truth telling dude and he'll tell you where to go. Also make sure to buy the Rust-Rid from him, or you'll be sorry! Well, maybe not, cause you could just go back to him and buy it anyway. |
| Somehow they managed to fit a mountain in that building. Frank Lloyd Wright, eat your heart out. This place is pretty straight forward, so I won't bother you with petty details. Make your way through the cave, grabbing the treasure chests along the way. There's a lot of good stuff here! |
 |
 |
My personal favorite is this one. Damn good shield. And no Final Fantasy game is complete without it. |
| When you get here, you'll see a little switch that you can step on. So step on it. You should really know these things by now. A dragon will pop out of the treasure chest above you and start flying around. He's not very bright, so you have to get in his path in order for him to notice you. How rude. |
 |
 |
This is the first dragon you'll fight. In case you aren't aware, there are eight dragons in the world of ruin. In order to get the Crusader esper, you're going to have to kill all of them. So unless you feel like coming back here again later on, you might as well take care of it now. Just Bum Rush him with Sabin, use your most powerful thunder attacks on him with everyone else, and he'll go pretty quickly. He does have a few nasty wind moves though, so make sure to keep healing. Reccomended Level: 35 |
| And that's pretty much the end of the level. Eventually you'll end up in a room filled with flowers. Gee, this must be where the letters and flowers are coming from. Those excellent deduction skills you learned in school finally paid off. You can't open the treasure chest yet, so head out the door on the right side. |
 |

Mr. Thou? What the hell are you doing? This guy must be DESPERATE. I mean think about it, his wife is dead, he's getting old, he probably won't be able to remarry, and I doubt he'll get any action from Celes or Terra. Poor guy. I'd feel sorry for him if he wasn't Cyan. |
| Whoa dudes, you want a hit of this shit? It's the bomb. |
 |
 |
A nice gesture Cyan, except for the fact you're a lying scumbag. |
| Foreshadowing....oooooh.... |
 |
 |
So now Cyan is in your group, but if you're like me, you'll never use him again anyway. Head outside to where he was standing before to get a hidden key. |
| This will allow you to open the treasure chest and get two completely, utterly useless items. Yay! |
