Horse Basin Principle Character(s): Zidane, Quina, Freya, Vivi The scene will now shift back to Zidane and company, with Freya attempting to assist one of the wounded guards. After you emerge from Gizamaluke's Grotto, head to the north gate, and Freya will begin to freak out at the signs of war here. Once control is returned to you, go to the far end and grab the tend and hi-potion in the chests there, then leave. And here's the North Gate, exit of the Horse Basin. Burmecia Principle Character(s): Zidane, Quina, Freya, Vivi Head into Burmecia now and, after a short dialogue, your characters will enter the front gate. Next, head to the top of the screen, stopping by the cart to get the Cancer, and, on the next screen, you will come to Zorn and Thorn, who will call for black mages to come to their assistance. Walk through the door on your right and grab the soft from the crate on the right side of the room and the potion on the left side of the room. Finally, leave the room and head to the right, up the stairs and through the door there. Grab the soft from the chest behind the stairs here, and then head up through the opening on the left. If you want to face a mimic, then you can approach the "chest" there, but otherwise, you should ignore it. When you walk onto the next balcony, it will fall. After it does, head back to the room where you got both a soft and a potion, and you will find that you may cross the upper balcony now. Again, ignore the "chest" on the right-hand side and head through the opening on the right. From this room, head out to the balcony, and Zidane will jump to the next room. In here, you will find a wounded Burmecian soldier. After speaking with him, head to the top of the bed and search under it to obtain the protection bell. Once it is in your possession, grab the ether on the left-hand side of the screen, then return to the outside, where you previously saw Zorn and Thorn. Head back up the steps, then up the steps in the next room and through the opening on the left. Next, walk up to the door and ring the bell to open it. A couple of soldiers will pass by you as you head up, but ignore them and continue up the stairs. First, walk through the door directly in front of you and help the guards in there. Afterward, Zidane will automatically exit, so take the stairs on your right and head through the opening on your left. In here, you will find two chests, one containing a phoenix down and another containing a tent. Grab these, then continue forward and head through the door there, ignoring the next chest, unless you want to face a mimic. The entry to Burmecia. Head through the door on the left for Freya to obtain a mythril spear, then head back out and go through the door on the right to grab a lightning staff for Vivi and to see two moogles. The first, Stiltzkin, whom you've heard a lot about, will have a soft, a hi-potion, and an ether for sale if you wish to purchase them. If you do purchase them, Stiltzkin will continue his journey, and next time he will have better items at better prices, so it is good to keep purchasing from him for as long as you can so that you may get better items later on. Atla, the other moogle, will also sell you items this time, in addition to offering you mognet and the save feature. After you are ready, save your game and leave the room, then head up the path. Freya and Zidane will leap to the top here, leaving Vivi and Quina behind. Once they reach the top, you will see Queen Brahne. After a bit of dialogue, a Burmecian soldier will rush toward the queen. At this point, Zidane and Freya will leap forward and urge the soldier to tend to the king instead. Fortunately, Quina and Vivi will join you at this point as well. Regardless of what you do here, Beatrix's actions will be the same, and she will follow the same course throughout this battle. Because of this, you may wish to just have Quina use mighty guard to protect your people, then have everyone heal except Zidane, who you should order to steal from Beatrix. She has a mythril sword and a chain plate, both of which will prove very helpful once you are ready to equip them. When Beatrix is finally ready, she will use the stock break ability, reducing everyone's HP to 1, and the battle will be over. You will now need to save your game and flip discs. You're one-quarter of the way through.   « Previous Page The Walk-Through (cont.) »
