3.1: Alexandria Revisited

Treasures: δPhoenix Pinion x3, δEther, δPotion, δKupo Nut, δTopaz, δLapis Lazuli, δOpal, δAmethyst, ♥shiva, ♥ramuh, δLeo, δFalcon Claw, δDesert Star, 9 Gil, 3927 Gil, 2680 Gil

Been awhile since you were back here, yeah?

After a couple scenes, the action will be in Vivi's hands. Head south into the street where Vivi started the game, walking to Ilia's grandma's house. Take the 9 gil savings there. Nothing in the square to the south, though, and Vivi can't leave…

Optional: Hippaul Racing

This can only be done before you go to the minitheater. Vivi can help get Hippaul's fat self into shape (at his mother's urging) for some prizes. More


The item shop's on par with the best of them now, and in the main square, the synthesis shop and weapon shop are open this time around. Don't bother buying a δPearl Rouge, though; synthing a δMoonstone for one makes little sense, since you can buy them in Treno's auction house.

North of the square, at the docks, get the δPhoenix Pinion and the huge 3927 gil cache by the two guards' stands. At the town church, deliver the letter you got in Fossil Roo to Kupo (finally!), and receive the δKupo Nut in return! Also ring that bell for Hippaul's treasures: a ♥Shiva and ♥Ramuh!

Optional: Stiltzkin's Steals

Serving a δPhoenix Pinion, δHi-Potion, and δElixir for 777 gil this time…! Make sure you do this as Vivi, as he will be gone when the POV's on Zidane! More


When ready to proceed, head to the alley by the square and try to enter the mini-theater. Agree to see it with Blank and Marcus, then descend to Ruby's sitting room. The view will change to Dagger, where Doctor Tot will give her the δOpal, δTopaz, and δAmethyst gemstones, which bestow the ability to use more eidolons. When the view changes to Eiko, enter the castle balcony to see a couple talking scenes with Baku. Soon the POV will change to Zidane…

Now that he's shaken off his funk, re-enter the mini-theater and search out the 2680 gil near the foreground. Enter the gondola dock to get Freya and Amarant in the party.

Optional: Gambling with the Bros

Now that Zidane's in the party, the three brothers in the equipment shop will invite him to play "their game." It's basically a Final Fantasied version of "double or nothing" over and over. Pay them 50 bucks; guess the correct brother and receive double your prize. Far as I know, there is no grand prize of any kind, just gil. Also, if you choose not to play, the game resets, so you've got to risk all to win… half. That's not exactly the best option, is it. More


Hitch a ride on the gondola to get to the castle. Search the two bells by the fountain, here, for an δEther and δPhoenix Pinion. There's also a δLapis Lazuli behind the fountain. Make a beeline for the western wing, where the tower's closed off but the way to the harbor's been opened. Get the δPhoenix Pinion by the portcullis, and the room with the Neptune statue, get the δLeo in a corner by the door!

Enter the castle to be granted an audience with Dagger, then it's off to Treno for various reasons.
