(3) Dazil

The goal is to get to Dazil.  Dazil is already viewable once you are out of the Blackmoon Forest.  Just pan your screen using L1 and R1.


Once inside Dazil, you can buy items for your characters at the stall made of wheels.  On the right of that is the Sandbuggy Rental shop.  Go inside the shop and talk to the guy on the counter.  There is also an item shop on the West side.  Further on, past the bridge is the Ethos shop.  Enter the Ethos shop.

After Fei and Citan exits the Ethos shop they will talk on the bridge.  Go left and proceed back to the Sandbuggy shop.  Go out of Dazil ang head west.  You'll see 2 gears.  Follow them, don't worry about the directions, when you follow them you'll reach the end of the screen.  This is going to happen for about 3 times until you get a motorcycle.  Remember to use some Hob gob Jerky when your HP is full HP-50.


There will be several scenes afterwards, and you'll be fighting 2 gears.  Use regular attacks.  After that you'll be fighting a wyrm.  The only damage the wyrm will take is (1) Ether attacks and (2) end of a string.  If you don't have any EPs left,  choose Charge and then do a T(Triangle) + S (Square) combo.  You will lose a turn when charging but the trade off is being able to damage (and defeat) the enemy.


There will be several scenes after that.


You will end up inside a room.  You have the option to go up or go down.  To go up, go East and keep going up for the ladder.  The first room you see on your right has an Aquasol.  To go down, go West.  First room on your left has a Rosesol. To get both, go East and get the Aquasol, go West to get the Rosesol and keep going West to go down the ladder.

Once on your lower level of the transporter room, keep heading East until you see the stairs.  Head up the stairs and follow the path until you see a box.  This will have a Leather Vest in it.  Jump down and the next box will have a Extra AR +1.  Run back East until you see a ladder.  Go up the ladder, cross it and you'll be back at the start of the stairs.  By this time, some planks have already fallen, so you would need to Run + Jump over them.  Follow the path again, only this time go right (you went forward to get the Leather Vest).  Keep following the path until you see a ladder.  Go up that ladder.

On the upper level of the transport room, there's a Memory Cube on the next screen. Follow the path, bearing left until you see a ladder.  Go up the ladder.

Citan will then instruct Fei to go inside Weltall. Follow the crane path to get to Weltall.  Note: Everytime you see a connecting "bridge" between the crane, cross it.  You can't go striaght forward since it's blocked.  Don't worry about Fei falling off since he'll go back up the crane.  Worry about getting to the end of the crane ASAP.  When Weltall gets covered with sand, you'll have to do this all over again.


There will be some scenes once you're inside Wetall.  Fei and Bart will be inside the cave.  Note: if you encounter any Nomad Fix Robot, do not defeat it immediately.  Its attack damage is minimal and it will restore your HP/ fuel.  So charge up while getting attacked/ fixed.


South to Southeast of the Memory Cube is the entrance to the next screen.  Go to the rock until Bart starts his dialog. When you are on the next screen, go southeast for a golden nugget, then West to go to the screen after.  This will lead you to a very long tunnel.

On the next screen, keep moving forward until you see a gear (it looks like a maintenance gear).   Go left to the next screen.  Jump up the platforms until Bart mentions that someone lives in the area.  Next to the "house" entrance is a Memory Cube.  Leave your Gears by pressing S(Sqaure)>Gear>Get ON - OFF. Press L1 or R1 to do the same to the other Gear.


There is going to be a dialog between Ol' Man Bal, Fei and Bart.  Keep talking to Ol' Man Bal until you get some options. I suggest that you choose all the options, top to bottom.  The second to the last option will allow you to upgrade your Gears.  If you are strapped with cash, upgrade the engines first.


You've already seen the first Sand Sensor, which is located on top of the opening where you pushed the boulder. To deactivate it, go Northwest from Ol' Man Bal's house. Follow the path on the next scree (you can see the maintenance Gear you saw earlier below you) and you'll be on a long corridor. Once out of the corridor, go West until you see the Sand Sensor.  Deactivate this one then jump down.

You're back to where you started in this cave.  Go back to the maintenance Gear you passed by before.  Instead of going left, go right.  Jump up the platforms and deactivate the second Sand Sensor. Go up the next platform for an Iron Whip.

After deactivating both Sensors, go back to Ol' Man Bal's house. After the dialog, he will ask you to leave.  Get out of your gears and go back inside to upgrade your Gears. You can sell the Leather Whip once you've equipped the Iron Whip.  If you have extra Gs after the upgrades, buy some Omegasol as well.


Proceed to the next screen.  At the end of the path, there's an elevator on the West and a gondola in the East.  Get off your Gears, ride the gondola.  After you get off the gondola, choose turn on the power and go back to the Gears.  Ride the elevator down.  Keep South - Southeast until you see the Memory Cube.  Save your game.  Ride the elevator beside the Memory Cube and there will be some scenes.  You need to move forward a bit to trigger the scenes.


When fighting Calamity, make sure to boost first (boosting is a good practice for hard bosses).  Choosing (X) rarely misses, so the combo is (X) then T(Triangle) + T(Triangle) for Bart and T(Triangle) + S(Square) for Fei.  After defeating Calamnity, follow the path pointing East.  Jump up the platform at the end of the path and exit the cave.

After a dialog, you will be inside Bart's ship, Yggdrasil.
