Final Fantasy IX / 9 / FF9 - Walkthrough / Return To Lindblum

Once you get into Lindblum with Zidane, open the chest near the bed to get the Egoist's Armlet, then climb the stairs and open the chest near the Moogle to get an Elixer. Now save your game with the Moogle. Try to leave the guest room, and Blank enters, and will tell you where Dagger is. Exit the room, and head to the elevator, and ride up to the [Upper Level]. At the top, run north through the doorway, then run through the lower path, in between the two sets of stairs, to find your party in the next room. They'll tell you that Cid wishes to meet you in the Royal Chamber, so leave the room, and head up the stairs, and enter the double doors at the top. The meeting will start in the conference room, so watch the cut-scenes and the ATEs. When you take control of Zidane, run back to the guest room to find Dagger. After finding out that you need to find the Unusual Potion, Beautiful Potion, and the Strange Potion, and they have to be mixed at a 5:2:3 ratio, exit the Castle by heading down to the Airship area, and ride to the [Theater District]. Enter the Artist's house along the way, and search the area near the stairs to find the Strange Potion after speaking to the artist. Check the chest in here to get a Lapis Lazuli. Now head to the clock tower, and Cinna will get the Unusual Potion for you to borrow. Go back to the clock tower, and enter it. Search the various chests to get 970 Gil, 4826 Gil, and 1273 Gil! Return to the airship area, and fly to the [Business District]. Head to the Inn, and give Moodon a letter if you have one. Head north to the town square, and enter the house directly to the north, and search the two chests for an Elixer, and a Remedy. Now head to the next screen to the northeast, and speak to Alice outside of her shop, and ask about the Potion. She'll give you the Beautiful Potion. Now do some shopping at the Weapon/Item and Synth Shops:

Now with all three Potions in your sweaty palms, return to the Throne Room in the Lindblum Castle. Everyone decides to go to the Black Mage Village, so head down to the [Base Level], and hop aboard the Blue Narciss (you have to ride the trolly to Serpent's Gate): . Once at the gate, you'll find a chest with a Chimera Armlet, so take it, then head to the dock, and board the airship.

On the ship, you meet Quina again, and you get to choose your party. I suggest taking along those members who need to level up, like Quina, Freya, and Steiner. Choose your party, then control the Blue Narciss:

- Blue Narciss Controls -

[X]: Forward
[TRIANGLE]: Return to the deck
[SQUARE]: Reverse
[CIRCLE]: Disembark
[SELECT]: Switch navigation map
[L1, L2]: Camera Control
[L2]: Align Camera
[R2]: Switch perspective

Fly all the way to the northern continent, and head to the shore that is south of Black Mage Village, and run through the forest, and enter the Village.
