Final Fantasy IX Walkthrough - Alexandria
You will begin the game by watching a spectacular (yet somewhat short)
FMV. Once it all ends, you take control of Zidane Tribal, in a dark
place. You'll be carrying around a candle, and your objective is to
light the bigger candle in the center of the room. But before doing so,
check the northwest corner of the room to find 47 Gil. Now search the
area across from it (the northeast corner), to find a Potion! Check
below where you got the Potion to see a sign that reads:
= M.S. Prima Vista, Theater Ship =
Class: Luxery liner with theater
Tonnage: 8235 tonnes
Guest Capacity: 288
Propulsion: Veil energy
Shipwright: Zebolt Shipyards
Port of Registry: Lindbulm |
Now head to the center of the room and light the candle. A large
"thing" will enter the room, and you'll begin a mini-boss fight. This
fight is really easy, since it's basically a tutorial fight. Before
killing off the guy, though, steal all of his items, which include Mage
Master and Potion. After the fight, watch the cut-scenes.
Alexandria
You'll begin this segment of the game as Vivi. After the little girl
helps you out, you will take control of him. Search to your left to
find a Potion, then enter the house to the right. Inside, speak with
Grandma, then search the bed to find grandma's savings of 9 Gil. Now
search to the right of the ladder to find a Potion, then climb the
ladder. Up here, you'll find a Fang Card, then leave the house. Back
out here, head north, and you'll find a Potion to the northwest part of
the street, and continue north, to where all of the little kids are
running to. Once in this part of town, enter the Tavern, and search the
southwest part of the room to find a Flan Card, then 27 Gil on the
floor near a table. Check the southeast portion of the tavern to find a
Potion, and speak to everyone here while you're at it.
Exit the Tavern, and check the grass across from it to find the Goblin
Card. Continue into the next part of town (follow the kids), and enter
the Shop here. Search it to find 38 Gil on the floor, then speak to the
shop owner if you'd like:
Potion: 050 Gil
Phoenix Down: 150 Gil
Antidote: 050 Gil
Eye Drops: 050 Gil
Tent: 800 Gil
Leave the shop, and continue north into the Square, and check out the
center ticket booth, and show the ticket master your ticket, and he'll
tell you it's a fake, and he'll give you these to cheer you up: Goblin
Card, Fang Card, and the Skeleton Card. Check out the sign north of the
ticket booth to see that it reads:
= The Three Heroic Knights of Pluto =
This statue was built to commermorate the three knights who fought bravely
in the 15th Lindblum War, in 1601 |
Now enter the house to the right of this sign, and search the floor to
find some Ether. Enter the second room of this shop/house, and read the
sign near the guy looking for swords:
= Recuiting New Knights of Pluto Members =
We are always looking for recuits
for the Knights of Pluto in Alexandria Castle!
Come, all you brave young men!
Let us protect the queen, and our
beautiful country, together!
Captain, Knights of Pluto |
Exit this shop, and head into the alleyway to the west, near the
jumproping girls. By the way, you can jump-rope with them if you wish,
as a small mini-game. In the alleyway, watch the little mis-hap, then
you will encounter Rat Kid. Speak to him, and tell him your ticket was
a fake. He'll then offer to let you see the show if you become his
slave. Agree, then watch out for him. Say the coast is clear, and he'll
steal the ladder. He runs off, but after he does, Alleyway Jack comes.
Speak to him to return to the Tavern, and to learn the card game. When
you are finished, return to the alleyway, and head the way the Rat Kid
run off earlier with the ladder.
Continue to follow him into the next area, and try to climb the ladder.
As you do, a moogle named Kupo falls down on you. Climb up the ladder
when told to, then follow Rat Kid along the roof-tops. Along the way,
he'll ask you your name, so name Vivi. After the road across the roofs is over,
you'll both enter the castle to watch the play. Enjoy the awesome cut-scenes.
After it all ends, you'll pick up play as Zidane and the others in a
fight on stage. You can't steal, so just take out the two outer goons
first, then attack King Leo in the center. After enough damage, he'll
retreat. Watch some more cut-scenes, until you engage in a swordfight
with someone (Blank) near the audience. He'll give you random commands
(like Square, or Up), and you'll need to follow them as accurately as
possible. The more accurate you do them, the more audience members (out
of 100, plus the Queen herself) will be pleased and impressed with your
performance. The higher the number of audience members impressed and
the Queen, the more Gil they will shower you with. The highest I've
gotten was: 97/100 members impressed, plus the Queen was quite
impressed, and they showered me with 873 Gil. |
