Just inside the carnage, talk to the soldier to get a Gizamaluke Bell key item. Open the locked door nearby with the bell and enter withal - a battle versus Type A. Type A can deal physical damage as well as cast three elemental spells, making him a cut above most of your encounters so far, but you will find its HP isn't substantially higher.
When the two jokers leave, kill the remaining black mage for a second Gizamaluke Bell. The room's locked 'bell' doors are concentrated on one end of the room, three in number. Ring your new key item bell on the door left of the largest door to gain access to that large overhanging walkway. At the elbow, a chest with a Bronze Vest inside (put it on Zidane). The soldier will give Ziddy another Gizamaluke Bell when he comes by - score!
This time, open the smallest locked door to enter a long stairway. Keep an eye out for the Mythril Gloves in the northeast part, and the Magus Hat on the part that goes under the bridge. Before you approach the large bell, exit the room whence you came and revisit the first room you found - you can search that soldier's corpse for the 4th Gizamaluke Bell! Note that this 4th bell only spawns if you've run out of other bells without unlocking the chamber's main door. And, by chance, that main door is exactly where you're heading!
After some events with moogles, Vivi will lose the key item Kupo Nut and the newlyweds will rush off to a side room. Get the last Gizamaluke Bell that opens the dark-colored door in this room - where the couple went. Talk to Mogmi and save/Tent, then turn go Moguta. When he asks if you like Kupo Nuts, answer the affirmative; when everyone turns to leave, he hands over a Holy Bell! There's actually a bunch of items you can get from Moguta later on, but can't do anything really for now. Mogmi will also have a letter from Moodon if the player scored 100+ points during the Festival of the Hunt.
Use that Holy Bell to open the last door in the newlyweds' adjacent room. Put on any equipment that halves water damage, because the path forward leads to a harrowing, frightful, ghoulish encounter (and it's watery).

You shouldn't have too much trouble here; if you can, Steal to receive a Magus Hat, Ice Staff, and Elixir. After the victory, the view switches over to our two comrades who aren't in the party currently…
