	Sail back to Altea and talk around the rebel base. They will say that Hilda has acted strange lately. Talk to Gordon and he will ask Frioniel to talk to her. Go to the room below where the King's room was. Talk to Hilda and the other 3 will leave. Frioniel will notice that it is not Hilda. The others come in and attack the Q. Lamia.
This fight is very tough. Her Wink spell will confuse any ally. If this happens, have Layla or Guy attack the effected ally. Her normal attacks can take 200+ HP from an ally and put them to sleep. None of you magic will really do much damage against her. Considering that she has 1300 HP, this could be a long fight. The Flame Bow and Winged Sword are your best weapons here. Keep up the attacks and heal when needed.
	After the long fight, a guard comes in and says that there is a tournament at Paramekia where the prize is the real Hilda. Gordon then comes in and wishes to go along. Layla says that she will stay behind and organize the rebellion. Buy Gordon the Mithril Armor/Shield/Gauntlet. He should still have his Trident from before. Rest up and head to Kashuon.
Find the Chocobo Forest again and go south into the desert and to where the picture shows. Reason being for this is because the monsters in the desert are quite strong. This is the arena. This is where you will save Hilda from the Emperor. Disembark the Chocobo and head inside.
	Enter and make your way to the Emperor. He will say to fight and then Hilda will be his. You then fight a Behemoth. This is not as tough as the Q.Lamia, but he can still take about 300 HP off at a time. He has 1620 HP. Spells don't do much to him, and niether will Guy's or Gordon's attacks. Again, the Flame Bow and Winged Sword will make a big difference in the fight. Heal when needed and keep attacking.
After the fight, the Emperor will ask that Frioniel come and take his prize, but it was a trap, as the Dark Knight drags him to jail. Just as things seem hopeless, Paul, the ninja from Altea, comes and rescues the gang. He says that it was his way of saying thanks (from the Semite Cave). Head to the door to the far upper right corner and go up the stairs.
	Go around to the east side. Search for a false wall along the left side going down. Remove Gordon's equipment, all of it. Release Hilda and Frioniel will tell Gordon to take the Princess and run. Gordon will leave the group. Just the 3 of you again. Take the false wall again and head to the stairs in the lower west corner. Walk out and head back to the ship and to Altea.
Talk to the man at the entrance and he will say that everyone has left and gone to the camp up north and are going to try to retake Phin. Time to power up again. HP: 800 MP: 85, Weapon Level: 6, All attack magic up to Level 4. Cure at Level 5, Life and Heal at Level 2 or 3. Rest up at Gatea and storm the Castle.
	Not too far into the Castle is Layla, awaiting the party. She rejoins.
