Enemies: Crawler, Dragonfly

Treasures: Phoenix Down, Chain Plate

This place is great for leveling up and AP-grinding - two Crawlers leave 3 AP! It also happens to be a great place to gil-grind, too, as two Crawlers leave 646 Gil. Since you can still exit back to the upper crust, consider this: kill a bunch of stuff, go back and buy at the auction, rinse, repeat. They also drop Ethers, which sell for 1000 Gil apiece! A Pearl Rouge teaches silence-proof Loudmouth ability, so try to win it with this method.

When you're ready to progress the story, the first order of business, as always, is finding the sequence trigger. Talk to Mochos and give him a letter. From the circular room, exit southwest for a well-timed Chain Plate chest. Hit the nearby lever and get the Phoenix Down, too. Exit southeast from the circular room and circle along the northern path to a pull-lever. Ring it down to call a gargant. Put the Antibody ability on all applicable party members before pushing the switch by Tot's new position. Everyone piles on the insect and heads right into a baddie's clutches. Intrigue!



Feel free to use the 'Tent trick' to inflict darkness on the baddie, which is a nice way to start the battle off on the right foot. Marcus should try to steal a Mythril Fork (and maybe even snag that Bone Wrist along the way), while Steiner attacks or uses Darkside. Dagger should heal and cure any poison (by casting Panacea) that is inflicted. Ralvurahava isn't capable of inflicting too much damage at once, so as long as Dagger stays on top of things you should be fine. When it has been damaged enough, it will use 'Escape', robbing the party of any spoils.

Everyone reaches the destination and some automatic scenes play out before the narrative switches back to those in Burmecia. Freya says that Cleyra can be found in the Vube Desert. Off to the world map!

Optional: Moguta the Kupo Nut Fiend
If you got Nazna's Kupo Nut at the South Gate Summit, you can finally redeem it with Moguta for another random item. Hurray? More

Optional: Frog-catching Minigame
Remember that you can catch frogs in Qu's Marsh? If you haven't gotten a Silk Robe from catching nine frogs and don't have a spare Magician Robe sitting around, it will teach the Loudmouth and Ability Up abilities - very useful! More

West of the Daines-horse Basin where Burmecia lies, the whirling sands of a gigantor sandnado twist and billow around the base of Cleyra. If you haven't gotten Quina yet, for some weird reason, go get him/her in Qu's Marsh.
