Once you're in your airship, head due south from Baron. The first piece of land you come to is a small island with a village next to a patch of mountains. This is where you want to be, so land your aircraft and head on into town. Don't bother looking into the weapon and armor shop, as you've already outgrown everything they sell. If you talk to some of the citizens, they'll tell you about their ancestor lineage coming from dwarves, and there's a dark side to everything light. I know what you're thinking: "These people are crazy." And you're probably right.

In the first building as you come into town, you'll find a pair of men who are observing the moons. They report some weird things they've seen on the moon. Perhaps something you should investigate at some point, but let's face it, you have enough on your plate for now. Have a look for yourself in the telescope anyway; you don't want to be rude. When you're through talking with everyone, visit the well that's in the center of the town. When you press the action button, an item box will prompt you to select an item. Select Magma. All of a sudden, the mountainous region outside of the town will explode, exposing a giant hole, large enough to fit an airship. Guess where you're going next.

As soon as you enter, you'll immediately be attacked by Golbez's forces. Also, the heat from the magma is too much for the airship to take. You have no choice but to take it down. When Cecil comes to, you'll find yourself right next to a kingdom. And again, I say, guess where you're going next. What might you find?

Looks like those in Agart weren't crazy. This whole kingdom is inhabited by dwarves. Head to the throne room to tell the king of your plight, and to gear up for an attack from Golbez for their dark crystal. When King Giott asks for your assistance in their fight, Cid takes it upon himself to go fix the airship to help out. You don't have too much time to worry about this, though.

Yang then notices something suspicious coming from the crystal room behind King Giott's throne. The others are clueless, but Yang is adamant he saw something. Better check it out, then, just to be safe. Who knows what might be there?







As soon as you beat up on the dolls, Golbez makes his next appearance. And you're unlucky enough to get in his way. You engage in battle where Golbez stuns your motion nearly immediately. He summons his pet serpent-dragon to finish you all off with Demolish until a Mist dragon attack comes out of nowhere to off the beast. It's revealed that Rydia, who appears much older, cast the death sentence upon the monster, and now is set to duel Golbez.





You just got to the underworld, though, so don't think you've won after this battle. That would just be silly.

After you tell the King of the misfortune, Cecil and his band of merry men (and of course, chicas) volunteer to go track him down at the Tower of Babil to steal back all the crystals he's stolen. The rooms you were restricted from before the fight are now open. They lead to a very useful weapon and armor shop. Stock up on the stuff you don't have. Also make a stop at the inn as you still haven't recovered from your battle with Golbez.

The monsters get extremely difficult from here on out, so it's wise to up your level. Rydia is pretty useless with her HP under 500. I suggest before moving on that you take time to level up. I'd suggest moving on when both Rosa and Rydia have reached level 28.

Go back in the castle and scope out the rest of the kingdom. The guards will allow you to take the treasures in the top of the towers. When you're ready, head to B1F and talk to the dwarf standing next to a bookshelf. He'll open the door leading to the path toward the Tower of Babil. You'll have a few enemy encounters while you march toward the tower. Before you go in, it might be wise to use a tent or cabin to refill before taking on the fearsome baddies of the tower.
