|o---------------o----------------------------------------------------------o|
|| This mission begins with some basic tutorial like movements and
actions. || So just do what you're told, and you'll eventually be
left to manage the || battle on your own. Move your Black Mage
behind the boulder and start || shooting Fire spells at Klesta from
there. But take note that any allied || unit that is within range
of your attacks will receive damage as well. || || As for your
White Mage, keep her close to your battle party and heal || allied
units when needed. Luso starts out as a Soldier. You can either ||
have him move in to attack the 2 Cockatrices, or go for Klesta. And
you || cannot control Cid, so just watch him do whatever he wants.
||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oSave
your game by accessing the "Systems Menu" option in the main menu.
The "Unit Info" option allows you to customize your units (change
jobs and equipments, set abilities, etc.). Continue onwards into
Wood Village. You will have an opportunity to renameyour clan
during the dialogue, so go on and change "Gully" to something
elseif you like. Back at the area map, head over to the Pub. There,
pay 100 gilto accept the only quest available. After that, check
out the shop then theBazaar. Purchase some new equipments before
doing the next
mission.___________________________________________________________________________Mission

|| Pick 5 members to complete your battle party. You can choose
anyone you || like, but personally I recommend both mages, the
Bangaa Warrior, Luso, || and the Thief moogle. The mission begins
with another brief basics || explanation from Cid. || || First off,
avoid using any kind of fire-based attack in this mission. || And
with that said, simply have your units gang up on the enemies to
get || this over with. Though you might want to keep the enemies
around long || enough for your Thief to snag some gil from each of
them. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Return to the village once again, and Cid will leave your party for
a bit.Visit the shops if you want. Also, there are some quests
posted at the Pub.Go in there when you're ready. Before accepting
"The Yellow Wings" quest, Isuggest you take the time to complete
the other 2
first.____________________________________________________________________________Mission

|| Cid will be joining you again in this mission, so go on deploy 5
more || units of your choice. Another thing to remember is that you
are not || permitted to use any ice-based abilities here. Keep that
in mind. || || Stay put and have your enemies come to you, then
once they are in range, || move your units and begin your assault.
Though the Thief isn't that || dangerous, I recommend that you take
him out as quickly as you can, to || avoid getting your gil stolen.
Have your Black Mage cast Thunder, paying || attention to where you
aim it to avoid damaging allied units. || || Next, move your melee
units behind their targets whenever possible to || deal some extra
damage. Keep the White Mage nearby to heal your party if ||
necessary. Again, watch where you aim to avoid healing the enemy.
||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oA
path to the world map will open. Ignore the exit for now and return
tothe Pub. There are plenty of new quests available, and you will
be able toaccess the Clan Trials as well. Completing the trials
will give significantboosts to your clan's talents. Exit towards
Camoa when you're
ready.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=CAMOA

|| Other than Cid, you will also have Adelle as a guest for this
mission. || The enemies are rather aggressive in their approach, so
you can just || wait for them to come within range then you can
attack. The terrain plus || your guests make it rather tricky to
engage targets through direct || attacks. Therefore, ranged units
will prove useful. Have your Green Mage || or anyone with access to
Green Magicks, put the enemies to sleep. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oA

|| All enemies besides the mark are weak to water, so if you have
access to || the said magic then by all means use it. Just
rememember not to use any || item or ability that will restore your
MP. Engage targets from the side || or back whenever possible to
wear them down faster. Put the enemies to || sleep with your Green
Mage. Blinding the Great Tortoise is a good idea, || It should keep
the mark's rather bothersome counterattacks from hitting. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oReturn
to Camoa and Adelle will join your clan after a short dialogue.
Sogo on and hire her. A path leading to the Bisga Greenlands will
open. Usethat path to reach the city of Graszton. But again, you

Mission Notes
|o---------------o----------------------------------------------------------o|
|| The creatures here can deal considerable amount of damage, so
always be || ready to heal whenever needed. If you have a unit that
has access to || status magics, cast Blind the Worgens, then
Silence on the Jelly and || Thunder Drake. The mark is immune to
negative statuses so don't bother. || || Gilmunto uses Dragon
Force, which is a Blue Magic skill, to boost the || attack and
magic parameters of surrounding units. Have your Black Mages ||
cast Blizzard every turn, and don't use Thunder on lightning-based
|| enemies to avoid healing them. || || Gimunto, Thunder Drake, and
Yellow Jelly use Lightning to heal each || other. Silence the
latter two, to keep them from using the said spell. || As always,
attack from the back or side when possible. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oTake
a trip back to Graszton, then to the Pub. Do some quests and
clantrials if you like. You can have a look at the Bazaar to see
what you canget as well. After doing all that, continue on with the

Notes
|o---------------o----------------------------------------------------------o|
|| All enemies are weak against Ice. So Black Mages or any unit
that can || use Blizzard is a good choice for this mission. The
Floating Eye's Gnaw || attack can inflict Poison, but if you chose
Regen as a clan privilege || earlier, then this shouldn't be a
problem. Also, all targets can deal || considerable damage on your
characters, so beware of back attacks. || || The Red Jelly can
inflict Oil, which makes your units more vulnerable to || fire. But
the one thing you should really worry about here is the Bombs, ||
since these will self-destruct when they get close to your units.
Kill || them before this happens, or heal immediately if it hits.
||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oThe
Auction Houses in Camoa and Graszton are now open. You can access
it bypressing A on a city or town at the area map. This feature
allows you to gain control of certain areas, and earn privileges
for your clan whenever you visit a controlled area. Anyway, read
the rules then participate in theauctions to see for yourself how
the bidding works. In addition, the "Clan Territories" option will
be added to the Clan Info

Notes
|o---------------o----------------------------------------------------------o|
|| Form a battle party with 2 characters that can use Cure or Cura,
along || with a Bishop or Illusionist, since all the enemies here
are weak to || wind-based attacks. The Antlions will just keep
coming even after you || kill the ones onscreen, so either ignore
them or put them to sleep. || || As for the mark, it uses Gravity
Flux which damages all your units that || are within range. To
counter this, quickly have your healing units use || curative
spells when their turn comes up. The other attack you should ||
worry about is Draw In, which drains your unit's HP. || || Don't
bother casting debuffs on it too. Instead, have your units, ||
preferably magicians throw their strongest spells at the target.
You || should not have a problem with HP management as long as your
healers do || their job every turn they get. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oAfter
the dialogue with Cid, visit the Bazaar to see what new
equipmentsyou can get. You may also take part in the auctions if
the auction house isopen. Head to the Pub and do some sidequests or
clan trials if you
like.____________________________________________________________________________Mission

Spiral Incisor x3.Forbidden : Iceo---------------o| Mission Notes
|o---------------o----------------------------------------------------------o|
|| Clan privileges don't matter here since your judge has been
barred from || battle. Ewen himself can't do much besides counter,
but he can't really || use that if you hit him from afar. Ewen is
immune to debuffs though so || don't bother. The Ninja, Sniper, and
Assassin can inflict a variety of || status ailments. The Time Mage
mostly uses buffs on himself instead of || his allies. Thus you
need not worry about them getting the upper hand. || || If you have
a Red Mage have her cast Protect, as the enemies can hit || hard.
Try Blinding the Sniper and the Ninja when you can. Just have your
|| long-ranged units attack from a distance, hitting multiple
targets if || possible, while your melee characters move in for
direct combat. Lastly, || make sure somebody has the Item command
available, so that you can use || items to remove Silence or
Poison. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oGo
back to Graszton for a dialogue with Cid, who then tells you to
head forthe Aerodrome in Moorabella. Feel free to do some quests,
purchase items,participate in auctions, or clear the clan trials
before moving on.

|| Your opponents' levels range from 20 to 25, so if your battle
party's || levels are higher than that, then you will end up
violating the law no || matter what you do. You will have Vaan as a
guest character here too. || || The mark is Ed, the Sage and he's
got a White Mage, Time Mage, Fusilier, || and Berserker as his
allies. They will all be marching towards you and || pile up at
some point. This makes it easy to gang up on a single target ||
Have your strongest melee units do so to score some quick kills.
Your || mages can hit multiple targets during the pile up too, so
take advantage || of this. I suggest you take White Mage out first.
|| || Ed has a move that can Poison your units. Make sure someone
has the Item || command available, so you can use those Antidotes
when needed. Though || that isn't a problem if you chose Regen as a
clan privilege. ||

|| First off all the enemies here are weak to Holy, so deploy some
Paladins || and give them the Saint Cross or Parley abilities. You
are fighting || undead creatures, which means that their HPs will
just be reduced to 0 || when they die, then will be revived when
left alone long enough. To get || around this have your unit stand
next to a tombstone and use Exorcise on || it. This will
permanently remove the target from battle. Note that || Exorcise is
most effective when used on a "dead" (0 HP) enemy. || || The
Floating Eyes use Death Dive when at critical HP. This deals
massive || damage usually over 100 HP. Quickly heal whoever gets
hit. The Ghosts || have "Touch" abilities that usually cause
Silence and Sleep. They also || use these to heal their allies. The
Wraith casts Darkra and can resummon || Ghosts using Wake the Dead.
It also has Flash which inflicts Blind. || || Have your Paladins
use their holy-based abilities when standing behind a || target for
maximum damage (100+ HP per hit). Use Rend Magick on the || Wraith
to weaken its Darkra spell. When an enemy dies, have Cid or a ||
White Monk use Exorcise on the tombstone to remove it from battle.
The || Wraith will vanish when its HP goes critical. Simply wait
for it show up || again then kill it. ||

|| You'll be facing an army of undead enemies for this mission. You
can || deploy your usual party of choice, just remember to include
a Paladin in || there if you haven't already done so. Black and
White Mages are a must || as well. As for enemies, there will be 2
Wraiths, a Zombie, a Bloody Orb || and the Oversoul. || || The
Oversoul uses Deep Sleep which inflicts Sleep and Stop. It also has
|| Darkga. You may use Rend Magick on it to weaken the latter
attack. The || Wraiths uses Flash which inflicts Blind, and also
has Darkra. || || Have your Black Mages throw spells from distance
while the Paladins move || in and use Saint Cross on the enemies.
It will be better if you can land || a back attack with this to
maximize damage. Equip gear that provides || immunity to or absorbs
Dark element. This should keep you safe from the || Oversoul's
Darkga attack. Otherwise just heal with Cura when it hits. || ||
Also, you can try using the Paladin's Sanctify ability to instantly
get || rid of an undead target. The move has a low accuracy rating
(40%) but it || will make this battle a lot easier if it connects.
The White Monk's || Exorcise ability works too, though Sanctify has
better accuracy. ||

|| I found this quest to be surprisingly easy. Your enemies are 2

for a few turns, and the Alchemist's || creations will fall dead
before they even get near you. || || The Ranger will stay at the
far end of the area, setting traps. Just let || him be and aim for

allies. ||

|| You can only deploy 5 units here, but you'll also be aided by 2
guest || members - Vaan and Penelo. Both are more than capable of
taking care of || themselves, so you need not mind them too much.
Personally, I would || recommend deploying ranged units here
because of the terrain. Also, send || units that can hit multiple
targets at once. An Elementalist is a pretty || good choice too. ||
|| It's a bit troublesome to uphold the law here, so just violate
it. The || opposing army has a Lanista, Berserker, Gladiator,
Bishop, & 2 Rangers. || Do pay attention to their elemental
immunities as well. Move your units || along the mountain, while
the mages hit whoever they can along the way. || || The Lanista has
Reflect on though. Try to avoid hitting it with magicks || as much
as possible. Have your Elementalist use Fire Whip to Disable any ||
enemy on the way up the mountain. This area is filled with traps
too; do || watch your step, especially as you get closer to the
top, because the || enemy's Ranger is there. Don't forget to bring
along someone with Cura. ||

Mission Notes
|o---------------o----------------------------------------------------------o|
|| This mission is divided into 2 rounds. For the 1st round you
will be up || against Illua and her goons. She is a Nightshade and
the rest of her || army consists of a Nightfall (Ewen), Spellblade,
Elementalist, Seer, and || Illusionist. Pay attention to each
unit's elemental affinities too. || Your judge will be barred from
this battle, so don't bother with any || clan privelege. || ||
Before doing this mission, you might want to buy some equipments
that || will boost your party's resistance, since you will really
need it here. || Illua's Dimensional Rift attack deals massive
damage to your units. I || tried equipping anti-dark equipments,
but that didn't help, so mass || healing is the only option you
have against the said move. || || Avoid charging forward at the
beginning of this fight. Let the enemies || come for you and hit
them with multi-targeting ranged attacks when they || are in range.
Black Magics work well against the melee units. Take Ewen || out
first, then the Spellblade. The Seer is adept to level 2 black ||
magicks. You can try using debuffs on the enemy units if you like.
I || didn't get the chance to experiment with what works best. ||
|| The Illusionist uses Tempest, and the Elementalist usually uses
Boulder || Crush and Fire Whip. Illua is immune to magicks. Use
normal attacks on || her instead. Be sure to hit from the back as
much as possible. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o|
|| Round 2 for this mission will begin after some dialogue. You
won't get || a chance to save your game either. Your target this
time is the large || hand thingie at the top of the are. Neukhia
halves damage from all || elements, except Holy. So deploy some
Paladins if you have them. You'll || also get your judge back. Pick
regen as your clan privilege. || || There will be some extra
monsters too, and they just keep coming after || you kill the ones
that are onscreen. What I've seen so far are Plagues, || Behemoths,
and Sprites. The Sprites can cast Haste on Neukhia. So ||
hopefully, you have someone who can use Dispel. || || The mark
itself uses Apocalypse, which inflicts Confuse on all your || units
that are within range. It also has Catastrophe which causes || both
defense down and resistance down on everyone. Consumption deals ||
massive damage on everyone, including the extra monsters. || || You
can try charging the purple cannons in the area up to 100%. Doing
so || will damage all enemies. But honestly, you should just use
your turns to || get close to Neukhia and use melee attacks on it;
or even holy-based || abilities if you can use them. Overall, this
battle won't be so tough if || you have several units that can use
curative magicks. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oAt
the area map, go to the only place available for some more story

preferably Moorabellathen fly to Fluorgis. Walk towards Goug from
there.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=GOUG

|| Aside from Adelle, you will also be fighting a Thunder Drake, a

|| Those guys obviously ain't Vaan and Penelo, but they did come
with some || formidable friends including a Canonneer, Ravager,
Sniper, and Fighter. || All of them can deal pretty serious damage
if your army has low defense. || So do create and buy some good
armors at the shop before coming here. || || "Vaan" has Flee (Move
Up), Razor's Edge (Evasion Up), and Shadowstalk. || The Ravager has
Tenacity; Cannoneer with Mortar; Fighter has Back Draft; || and
Sniper has Weapon Shot. "Penelo" didn't get to act at all in my
game || but I'm betting on the fact that she has the same move set
as the real || Penelo does. || || Try to Blind or Disable the
ranged units, then Disable or Immobilize the || melee ones. If you
have units that have Hastega and Protect, then by all || means use
them! "Penelo" is highly vulnerable to the Disable status, so ||
inflict that on her as soon as possible. || || Send a balanced army
of melee and ranged units. And have the former || provide indirect
combat support, while the latter move in for a direct || assault.
Do make sure that your melee units have good defense. If you ||
happen to get lazy just focus all your attacks on "Vaan". The
mission || ends when he has been dealt with. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oRight...
I'm gonna say this one more time... Go back to any town for
somestory events. That said, do the usual and once you've done
enough. Go outthere and recruit Vaan and Penelo into Clan
Gully!o------------------------------o| In Search of Vaan and
Penelo
|o------------------------------o-------------------------------------------o|
|| After completing mission 19 (Pirate Problems), head to Fluorgis,
and you || should see a red exclamation point at the Aerodrome. Go
in there. || || < Elegant Encounter > || || Luso and Adelle
will run into Al-Cid Margrace. He will have a letter he || wants to
be given to Vaan. Penelo will come in and she'll join your clan ||
after a short exchange. Head out to the next destination
afterwards. || || < Where Could He Be? > || || You'll be
facing a Worgen, Wolf, a Beastmaster, and a Gladiator. This ||
mission should be real easy compared to the other recent quests
you've || done. Blind and Disable both the Beastmaster and the
Gladiator. The || Worgen's Fiery Blow can cause Silence sometimes.
|| || Vaan will join your clan after a bit of dialogue. Back in the
area map, || notice that there's one more quest left. Clear that
one too. ||
|o--------------------------------------------------------------------------oFor
the last time, do some more quest when you return to town. Master
theabilities that you feel are most important. If possible, have
more than oneunit learn Hastega, Shell, and Protect. The next
mission will prove
tough.____________________________________________________________________________Mission

|| No judge; don't bother with a privilege. Toughen up your chosen
battle || party, meaning buy the best possible armors you can find
at the Bazaar. || Both resistance and defense matter, so make sure
your equipments provide || balanced stats boost as much as
possible. Actually, if you did the quest || "I've Been Had, Kupo!",
you'll get a card from Ezel that will keep your || judge from being
barred from battle in this mission. || || Cast Hastega, Protect,
and Shell on all your units as soon as you gain || enough MP.
Recast when they wear off. Illua's army consists of a Red || Mage,
Summoner, Time Mage, Arcanist, and a Nightshade (herself). || ||
Illua uses Saber (Atk and Acc Up), Annul, Abyssal Slash, Time
Blade, and || the deadliest of all, Dimensional Rift. There isn't
much you can do to || counter this except lessen damage through
buffs, and some mass healing. || || The Time Mage casts Hastega and
Stop; Summoner can summon Shiva and || Unicorn; Arcanist has
Syphon; and the Red Mage has Doublecast. Get rid || of the Summoner
as soon as you can, then take out the Time Mage. Illua || can't
protect herself much, so she will be a whole lot more manageable ||
if you kill her most important support crew first. ||

|| In this mission, Illua will be accompanied by several Behemoths,
which || are weak to ice, and a Loup-Garou which is weak to wind.
The Behemoths || can use Firaga and their attacks can deal pretty
serious damage. They || also have Magick Counter. The Loup-Garou
has Howl (Confuse) and Slug. || || You may want to forgo the law
here and cast both Protect and Hastega on || your party. Hopefully,
you managed to pick up some great armors at the || shop, since the
attacks from these monsters can really hurt you. Deploy || units
that can use Curaga, Esuna, or just a Summoner with Unicorn. Keep
|| using Blizzard on the Behemoths to get rid of them. This should
not be || that difficult as long as your healers are always on hand
for healing. || || Illua won't move until you get closer to her. So
take the time to heal
