Final Fantasy IX Walkthrough - Cleyra Settlement
Right when you enter the Settlement, Freya runs off to meet the King.
So, after she leaves, the Forest Oracle Kildea offers to give you the
tour of the settlement, so agree to go. He'll show you stuff like the
market, the waterwheel, the observatory, and the cathedral. After the
tour concludes, you take over as Zidane. Head up the first set of
stairs, and turn right to find a hidden area with a Phoenix Pinion.
Take it, then head up the next set of stairs, and to the right to
activate an ATE (No Yummy-Yummies!).
When the ATE ends, head to the right, and search the ground to get some
Ore. Take it, then go left, and across the small bridge to the
southwest, and an ATE will begin (Don't Hate Me). Watch it, then search
the ground near the steps to get some Thunder Gloves. Return to the
market area of town, and where the "Don't Hate Me" ATE just took place,
and speak with Dan to buy some weapons:
Partisan: 1600 Gil
Multina Racket: 750 Gil
Mythril Rod: 560 Gil
Flame Staff: 1100 Gil
Ice Staff: 980 Gil
Needle Fork: 3100 Gil
Bone Wrist: 330 Gil
Mythril Armlet: 500 Gil
Mythril Gloves: 980 Gil
Thunder Gloves: 1200 Gil
Magus Hat: 400 Gil
Bandana: 500 Gil
Mage's Hat: 600 Gil
Mythril Helm: 1000 Gil
Chain Plate: 810 Gil
Mythril Vest: 1180 Gil
Chain Mail: 1200 Gil
Mythril Armor: 1830 Gil
Be sure to stock up on any of the more powerful weapons you have yet to
get (Ice Staff, Fire Staff, Needle Fork), as well as lots of Defensive
armor (Bandana, Chain Plate, Chain Mail, Mythril anything...), because
you'll need it. Enter the Inn right above Dan, and check the ground to
the right of the Innkeeper to get 1250 Gil. Now check the corner to the
left of the Innkeeper to get an Echo Screen. Climb the stairs, and
check the dresser near the bed to get some Ether. Now you can also find
a Moogle here, near the window. Check for mail, and you should have a
letter for Zidane. Read it, then save your game. Also rest up if you
need to.
Leave the Inn, and run up the right-hand stairs, and along the way,
you'll find a Remedy on the ground. Continue up the steps, and a few
ATEs will pop up ("I-I Haven't Hurt Anyone", and "There's a
Mushroom!"). Head to the observatory, and speak with the girls, then
head east across the bridge. On the next screen, you will find a
Phoenix Pinion on the ground near some mushrooms, and a few people,
like Star Maiden Nina:
Potion: 050 Gil
Phoenix Down: 150 Gil
Echo Screen: 050 Gil
Soft: 100 Gil
Antidote: 050 Gil
Eye Drops: 050 Gil
Annoyntment: 150 Gil
Tent: 800 Gil
Head north, to the area outside of the cathedral, and search the grass
to the south to find some Gysahl Greens, and search the area in front
of the cathdedral to find an Echo Screen. Enter the cathedral, and get
the message from Freya, saying for you to wait for her at the Inn.
Return back to the Inn. As you get near the Inn, someone reports that
the Antlion has mauled a kid. Follow Dan to the entrance of the town,
then head east to find the Antlion attacking Puck.
Antlion
Level: 16, HP: 2938
Weak against: Wind, Spoils: Ether,
Annoytment
AP: 05, Steal: Gold Helm, Annoyntment, Mythril Vest
Start off the fight by having Vivi cast Blizzara as soon as possible,
then have him cast it for the entire fight. Use Zidane to steal items
(you can get stuff like Annoyntment, a Gold Helm, and other stuff too),
and use Freya's ability, Reis's Wind to heal the party as you go. This
fight is a cinch if you have Vivi cast Blizzara, because it deals out
around 1200 HP of damage each time.
When the fight ends, watch the little dance sequence with Freya, then
the FMV that shows. Watch the next few cinemas, then meet the rest of
the party at the entrance of Cleyra. Make your way down the tree, and
all the way to the bridge (you'll have to fight pairs of Alexandrian
Soldiers along the way. At least one pair in each room). Once you reach
the bridge, you'll meet Puck, who tells you to return to the town.
Right away, you'll have to fight a Black Mage, then some Alexandrian
Soldiers, then another Black Mage or two. If you go to where you fought
the Antlion, you'll find a Moogle who has a letter, and a task for you.
Save your game here, then head up the stairs. At the top, you'll have
to make a decision. If you choose "Head up", then two of the citizens
will die, so choose this one:
» Head to the Right
Now head to the next area, and when Dan's Family enters, choose:
» Let's go to the left
This will save them, and make you fight another Black Mage, and two
Alexandrian Soldiers. On the next screen, choose:
» Head to the right
Now when you are near the observatory, choose:
» No, we're not safe yet
And you'll head to the Cathedral to make your stand. As you try to
enter, a lot of Black Mages will surround you, but a Stranger with a
huge spear comes and saves you. When you enter the cathedral, you'll
learn that it was Fratley, the one Freya has been searching for. After
he leaves, Beatrix returns, and steals their Magic Stone. Follow her
outside, and in the cathedral lobby, speak to each of the surviving
citizens to get items that include:
· Remedy
· Phoenix Down
· Zuu Card
· Nymph Card
· Elixer
And more items can be found too. Talk to the Moogle to use a Tent to
rest up, and save your game, then agree to deliver his letter. Now
leave, and follow her outside.
Beatrix
Level: 17, HP: 4736
Weak against: None, Spoils: None
AP: None, Steal: Ice Brand, Thunder Gloves, Phx. Down
Right away, use Vivi to cast Slow on her, then continue to cast it when
it wears off. Use Vivi to cast Blizzara and Fira on her coninuously,
and use Zidane to steal items from her like Thunder Gloves, Phoenix
Down, and an Ice Brand if you're lucky. Use Freya to cast Reis's Wind
to heal the party, and use plenty of potions and Phoenix Downs to heal
your party. Also use Lancer with Freya to do some good damage. Her most
powerful attack (that can kill you), is Shock, which can deal at least
800 HP of damage. After she takes enough damage, she'll cast Stock
Break, and make your entire party go down to 1 HP, and run off with the
Stone.
You'll end up back on a ship, where Beatrix ran off to, so head up the
stairs when you take over as Zidane, and follow Beatrix to watch a
cut-scene. When it ends, Vivi runs off, so follow him down the stairs.
As you do this, Serino the Moogle appears, so go back up and chase him.
Give him the letter that was from Mopli, and he'll give you a Kupo Nut
for delivering it. Accept his offer to deliver his letter to Moodon,
then save your game, and go back down and follow Vivi again. Use the
Pods to return to Alexandria...
When the game takes over, you play a small mini-game where Steiner and
Marcus have to escape their hanging cell by swinging it back and forth
until it crashes into the wall. Hit either left or right on the control
pad to swing your weight back and forth until it crashes. When it does,
run around the outer area to the large ladder on the other side, and
make sure you remove anything valuable from Marcus. Now go left and
enter the room, and watch as Marcus runs off. Good thing you removed
anything you had on him, eh?
After you get back together with your party, head out where Marcus
left, and run outside. Head north, and avoid any guards that chase you.
Enter the castle, and run up the stairs as fast as you can. Head around
the outer balcony, and through the southern doors, then go left and up
the next set of stairs, and through the wooden doors to the north. Now
head up the stairs, and through the next doors at the top. In here,
examine the purple flame to the northwest of the room. Pull it to
reveal a hidden path, so take it.
In the next room, hop onto the rotating platform, and ride it to the
ledge with the two chests to get a Tent, and the Ice Brand, a powerful
sword for Steiner. Immediately equip it to him, then hop onto the
platform again, and take it to the other side of the room. Run down the
spiral stairs, and take them all the way down to the bottom of the
area. Once on the circle platform, head north, and through the double
doors.
Zorn & Thorn
Zorn
· Level: 16, HP: 4896
Weak against: Ice, Spoils: None
AP: 00, Steal: Mythril Armor, Mythril Armlet
Thorn
· Level: 16, HP: 2984
Weak against: Ice, Spoils: None
AP: 00, Steal: Stardust Rod, Partisan
These two aren't hard to beat at all. All you have to do is use Vivi to
cast Blizzara a lot on them, have the Ice Brand equipped to Steiner,
then use his Blizzara Sword attack on them, use Freya to either heal
the party with Reis's Wind, or just attack with Lancer, and use Zidane
to steal items from them, particularly the Mythril Armlet and Armor,
and the Stardust Rod from Zorn. After enough damage, they'll run away
from the fight.
When you take control of Zidane, you have Dagger in your arms. Talk to
the Moogle here to use a Tent and to save your game, then take her all
the way back upstairs and to the Queen's Lair at the top of the stairs.
Beatrix (Yes, again...)
Level: 19, HP: 5709
Weak against: Ice, Spoils: None
AP: 00, Steal: Survival Vest, Ice Brand
This fight is like the other fights with Beatrix (what was it, 2 other
fights too? Geez...), in that you should use Vivi to cast Slow on her,
and use Steiner and Zidane to attack her, and use Steiner's Blizzara
Sword attack to do some good damage. Use Vivi to continue to cast Slow
and Blizzara on Beatrix, and use Zidane to steal items from her, like
Phoenix Down and an Ice Brand. If your health gets low, use Freya to
cast Reis's Wind on the party, and be sure to heal often. Beatrix uses
the same attacks as before, and also like before, when she takes enough
damage, she'll drop everyone down to 1 HP, then stop the fight.
Watch the cut-scene, and when you take over as Freya and Beatrix in a
battle against a Bandersnatch, use Beatrix's Climhazzard attack
(remember what it did to you in the last battle? Good, that's why you
should use it). You'll take over as Zidane, so quickly hop across the
rotating platform before the Bandersnatch catches you, then run down
the stairs until you reach a few Black Mages. Fight 'em, kill 'em, then
dump 'em. Continue down the stairs, and kill the next Bandersnatches,
and watch as Steiner leaves to help Freya and Beatrix. Kill the next
set of Bandersnatches with Freya, Beatrix, and Steiner.
When you take over as Zidane, return to the Moogle where you saved
Dagger, and get a letter from him to deliver (his letter to Monty). Now
head down the stairs south of the Moogle room, and continue until you
get trapped. Watch in pain as Thorn and Zorn laugh at you, then laugh
your ass off when some "special" guests drop in. :)
Ralvuimago
Level: 18, HP: 3352
Weak against: Ice, Spoils: Ether(s)
AP: 07, Steal: Oak Staff, Adaman Vest, Phx. Down
The worm returns, and this time, he's not that easy to beat. Right
away, use Dagger to cast Shell and/or Protect on the party, then use
Vivi to cast Blizzara on it. When it coils up and reacts to the attack,
use Zidane to steal stuff from it, and heal the party with Dagger.
Since this fight is long, you can steal everything from Ralvuimago:
Phoenix Down, Oak Staff, and an Adaman Vest. Don't try to attack it
when it's coiled up, because it barely does any damage at all. |
