********************************
2-2 Alexandria ~ Conde Petit
********************************
MAX TIME 05:30:00

Alexandria
-Swing back and forth until they escape. You will fight 2 compulsory
battles with the Guards. After that, unequip the MYTHRIL SWORD and
LEATHERPLATE from Marcus.

-Avoid all the guards while running toward the Throne Room on the
second floor of the castle. Click on the wall candle to reveal the way
in. Take the 2 treasures at the beginning of the hidden dungeon
(ICEBRAND, ELIXIR) and proceed all the way below.

-SON/ZON, HP:2500
With MANEATER enabled and Vivi's POINTED HAT+Blizzara and Blizzara
Sword by Steiner concentrated on one of the two bosses. Take note to
nullify their magic preparation by landing a hit on that person.

-Save Game. TARGET TIME 04:30:00


-BEATRIX, HP:5708
Same tactic as with Son and Zon, Blizzara by Vivi while the rest have
MANEATER enabled.

-After event, a battle ensues. Zidane and the rest heads down the
dungeon again. For the battle with the 3 mages, each character focus
his attack on each mage for a more efficient battle.

-Steiner joins Freija and Beatrix. Beatrix's Crime Hazard works well on
double dogs. After some events with Blank, Zidane party escapes
Alexandria.

-LARUVAIMAGO, HP:3352
Three shots of Blizzara from Vivi will defeat the boss.

Pinnacle Rocks
-Save your game. TARGET TIME 04:57:30
You could go to the bottom to retrieve OGRE NIX and MYTHRILVEST though
not necessary. Otherwise, ignore the Ramuh event and choose "Give Up".

Lindblum
-After events with Regent Cid, head to the weapon and combine shops to
buy necessary equipment. More importantly, get 2 POWERBELTs and 1
EXPLODER. Thereafter, talk to the guy at the fountain who'll teleport
you to the Earth Dragon Gate. Save your Game.

-Proceed to Qu Marsh and talk to Quina. Go to the opening on the
extreme right of the marsh to trigger an event for Fossil Rul.

Fossil Rul
-Avoid all the pendulums and avoid going into battle with the chasing
Durahan.

-RANI, HP:5708, To Steal: GRADEUS
Quina's Reraise/LimitGlobe works well here again. It will be more
convenient to steal the Gradeus from Rani first, though success rate is
pretty low.

-Save the Game inside Fossil Rul. TARGET TIME 05:18:15

-Proceed to the bottom path and ride the gargant to retrieve the FAIRY
EARRINGS. Return and choose the upper path. Ride Gargant -> Switch the
lever -> Ride Gargant -> Switch the lever -> Ride Gargant back to
switch lever to return to save point area -> Save your game -> Proceed
to bottom path where you went to get the earrings -> Ignore the next
lever -> Ride Gargant -> Climb the vines to top-left platform to switch
lever -> Climb the vines and drop off at the lower platform -> Ride
Gargant to exit.

Outer Continent
-Walk as far as possible while the label appears. Save game after the
label is gone. TARGET TIME 05:25:00

-Walk beyond the Qu Marsh to get to the Chocobo Track. Call out a
Chocobo and ride towards Conde Petit to save time.

Conde Petit
-Get the 2700GIL behind the dwarf near the entrance. Go to the Item
Shop and collect the Phoenix Pinion hidden on the staircase. Go
upstairs to talk to Vivi and head back to the Item Shop. Exit the
village. Ride the Chocobo southeast to the DEAD FOREST. Save your game.
TARGET TIME 05:30:00

Dead Forest Maze
-The encounter rates in this forest is very high. So you'll have at
least 2 battles here. Way out is Right, Right, Left, Right.
