2.15: Back to Madain Sari

Enemies: Scarlet Hair

Treasures: δElixir, δMemory Earring, δPhoenix Down, δExploda

When you get to town, follow Eiko into the kitchen and enter the room down by the fishing spot. Get the δSurvival Vest and δPhoenix Down when Eiko leaves, then it's off to the Eidolon Wall! At the wall, choose the "peek inside" option and take the δExploda and δElixir items when Moco donates them to your cause. Heal up when the option presents itself and enter inside to face…

It's a mano-a-mano fight now, and shouldn't be too hard. You can either go on the initiative and attack or build up a Trance - either way's fine if you've got the δRune Tooth equipped. 'Scarlet' will jump around, so if you time your attack wrong, it will miss and elicit a laugh from him; always choose to 'Attack' when he's just moved to be safe. Scarlet takes triple damage if attacked while he is near the 3rd pillar (counting from the left).

Eiko gets back her precious item, safe and sound. Return to the room below the kitchen to have Eiko wear her item as a δMemory Earring. When Dagger leaves, exit through the dining room and find the "(!)" on the landing just outside. When the boat scenes conclude, Eiko will join the team permanently. And… you will get a new party member, too [Default: Amarant]! Yes, such a nice joyous event… For the first time, you will be able to choose who stays in and out of the party! Eiko's got the better cure magic, so I kicked Dagger out for Amarant.

Oh well, back to the Iifa Tree! Don't forget to equip Amarant to your liking!
