2.12: Conde Petie Mountain Path

Enemies: Gnoll, Ochu, Troll, Hilgigars

Treasures: δRemedy, δTent, δEther, δMoonstone, δGreen Stone, δRed Stone, δYellow Stone, δBlue Stone

Enter to find a little girl [Default: Eiko] who replaces Quina in the lineup automatically. Change her equips a bit since she's got pretty weak stuff and get ready to move!

In that first screen, climb up the vine in the northwest part of the cliff to claim a δRemedy, then run east along the ridge to the next screen. A shrine has a δBlue Stone key item inside; take it. Re-enter the first screen and direct yourself down the lowroad.

Optional: Stiltzkin's Steals

He's selling a δMagic Tag, δTent, and δEther for 666g, now. Not too shabby. More

There's a vine up here that leads back to the first screen. Take the δTent and δRed Stone from the shrine nearby, then double-back (again). Enter the tunnel and pass to the other side. You will see some oglops on the path by here; try to catch one with the action button as this can result in a prize later on. Up the path is Suzuna the moogle. Give her Mogmatt's letter if you got it and take the ladder left of Stiltzkin's position. Follow the root a screen until the mastodon stomp of an angry giant sucks everyone into battle…

Inflict Silence via Dagger or the δTent trick from the start to prevent Hilgigars from using its Curaga spell, and use a multi-target casting of Float to make Earthquake miss. Slow is the only other abnormality to inflict, which should give everyone leeway. Put all the mages in the back row and sling Bio while slinging Cura amongst the allies. I will also note that while there is a δFairy Flute to be stolen here, it is notoriously hard to do so, and if you can't get it after a while, forget it because it isn't that good (as a matter of fact, while I'm writing this, it's the first time I've stolen it in about ten tries; some people have gone four hours with no luck!).

Eiko says the dwarves' "Sanctuary" is mostly known as the "Iifa Tree," and directs everyone to her place. Take the δYellow Stone by where Hilgigars fell and go right out of the screen. On the lower root, take it into a new screen where a δGreen Stone sits by an δEther.

To exit, take the root near the Green Stone Shrine up and out onto the world map. See that weird mass on the beach? That's the destination.

Optional: Free Moonstone Recommended

If you've collected all four "Stone" key items, return to the area where Suzuna is found and exit right. There's another shrine, except this is a receptacle for the colored stones you've found. A δMoonstone will appear once they're all set in… it's like a gumball machine! Doing this 'quest' may seem unimportant, but remember you can (1) only get a finite number of them in the game (2) equip it on Eiko to make her Carbuncle summon cast Shell on everyone instead of Reflect! Definitely get this! More

Optional: Friendly Creatures Sidequest

A friendly 'Yeti' monster can appear around here (Lucid Plains) and wants some δOres. Fill its appetite and it will throw 20 AP and an δElixir yer way! More

Optional: Oglop Trade

If you caught an oglop on the mountain path, return to Conde Petie and talk with Bryan Rootrunner (stands by item shop), who will take it off your hands in exchange for an ♥Oglop. Not so shabby, huh? More
