FFIX Lindblum Grand Castle.jpg

After the battle with the Black Waltz—and a narrow escape by air—the party finds itself in the airship dock of Lindblum Grand Castle, a massive fortress with a magnificent palace in the middle of a sprawling city.

The Castle

Items
  • Glass Armlet
  • Ether

The guards at the dock stop the party briefly until Minister Artania lets them through. Instead of following the minister, however, go up the staircase on the right side of the screen. Here, go in the first door to enter a guest bedroom. Open the two chests for a Glass Armlet and an Ether. The Moogle here is Mogki, for whom you have a letter. Read it, then select Mognet again to receive yet another letter for Alta. Save.

Head back the way you came to the room with the fountain, this time taking the exit at the bottom of the screen. Step onto the lift and ride to the throne room. Here, the party finds a big surprise, after which everyone breaks for lunch.

Zidane can't stand the rich castle food, so he heads to a nearby pub instead. There, he meets Freya, a female dragoon and an old friend of Zidane's. The scene then switches to Garnet's conversation with the Regent, who reveals all sorts of plot points.

Business District

Finally, you regain control of Zidane, who is in his room at an inn in Lindblum's business district. Save in the next room, where you can also read a letter from Ruby. Now get ready to find a whole lot of items around town. Head downstairs and search the southwest corner of the room for 163g. Exit the inn, then head north up the street.

Here, enter the door due north of the pickle seller. Here, open the chests for a Hi-Potion and an Echo Screen, then head up the street again. Near the entrance of the church, look under the tree for a Tent, then head inside the building and up the scaffolding ladder for a Leather Plate.

Square

The Square contains several shops. Alice's Item Shop is on the North side (according to the handy compass rose in the fountain) and Dragoos's Weapon Shop is to the Northeast. To the Northwest is a Synthesis shop: a new special kind of shop that combines your weapons and armor into unique new creations for a fee. Go to the north side of the shop and examine the workbench for a pair of Silver Gloves.

Festival of the Hunt

Items received for winning
  • Zidane - 5000g
  • Freya - Coral Ring
  • Vivi - Theater Ship Card

Be sure you are properly equipped before starting this section.

After you have explored the town a bit and you feel that you are well-equipped, return to the castle to start the Festival of the Hunt. Before the hunt begins, you will be asked what you want as a reward. You can select whatever you want, as it does not change anything either way. After you select a reward, you will be tasked with going through each section of the city, eliminating monsters along the way for points. If you have the most points when the timer hits 0, you will win the prize you selected as well as a title.

Theater District

To begin the hunt, start off by going straight to the theater district, killing all the monsters you see along the way. When you go past the Tantalus hideout and down the steps, you will see three barrels. Wait in front of these barrels for a monster to attack you, then make your way back up to the taxi, and go to the Business District next.

Business District

Upon entering the business district, be sure to kill all the monsters you come by (one monster will pop out of a building on the right side and another will swoop down and attack you on the left side of the street). When you enter the next section of the business district where the pickle salesman usually is, you will see a monster on the left side attacking someone; deal with it, then move towards the shopping center where the fountain is located.

This is the monster you are looking for, it is also known as a Zaghnol

When you enter this section, you may notice a large monster there attacking some civilians. Upon engaging the monster, Freya will come assist you in killing it, so do not worry if you do not think you are strong enough to defeat it alone. If you do not see this monster, exit this area and re-enter until the monster shows up. You will want to kill this monster, as it gives you over 80 points and essentially gives you an easy win for the Festival of the Hunt.

Industrial District

If you killed the large monster located in the Business District, you can come here to kill the monsters for fun, but it is not required, as the large monster will give more then enough points to win the hunt. It is a small area, so the monsters should be fairly easy to locate if you run around and check out the area.
