Corridor
Assault on Fort Tamblin

Fortress Interior: Remnant forces

In the top left corner you will see 11 stars. This indicates the amount of Wutai personnel you will have to defeat to continue to the Centrel Area. After each battle confrontation you will fill in 1 star. The first 1 is already filled in. Follow the path to the left at the end of this path there is a chest. Open it for a Soma. Follow the path to the right now. As you follow this path you may encounter a new enemy a Foulander it uses elemental attacks so watch your health. Continue on down the path. At the end here some enemies will appear through a revolving part of the wall. Defeat them and you may examine the revolving wall section and you will get a small cutscene. After defeating these enemies you will receive a call from Lazard warning that enemy forces are located near revolving wall sections. Follow the path around the corner to encounter another chest which contains a Potion. Turn left from the chest to find another. This chest contains nothing and throws you into a fight with 3 Wutai Privates and a Wutai Sergent. Follow the path to encounter 2 Foulanders. Continue on into the next area, to the left is a chest containing a Hi-Potion. Follow path to the left of chest. Here you will be at the end of a corridor and at the opposite end will be enemies fire at Zack. Here you will prompted to either Charge! or find a different route. Charging is obvious. If you choose to find a different route, turn around and go back down the path and walk towards the revolving wall section (the indent in the wall). A small cutscene will allow you to eavesdrop on the enemies you previously encountered and then sneak attack them. The Sergent will retreat and leave behind a Potion. Follow the path to the left where you will encounter 3 Foulanders. After defeating them you will receive another call from Lazard if you have not defeated all of the enemies in this area, meaning you still have stars to fill. You have the ption to continue on or find all the Remnant Forces. Also don't forget to open the chest that you may have passed on the right before the fight with the Foulanders. This chest contains an Ether.

If you decided to carry on without defeating all the Remnant Forces or you found them all then please skip to the next section Central

Head backwards through the Corridor at the end of the path take a right and then bear left. Here is another encounter with Foulanders defeat them and open the chest here for an Ether. Keep following the path backwards; use the map (psx: S) if you get lost. When you reach a tower you may examine it. Zack will look up and then enemies will rain down on him. Defeat these enemies and you will receive a call from none other than Lazard indicating that more enemies await you in these towers. This will add additional stars. Locate the other towers and defeat the enemies to continue.
