You will also have the chance to fight the storm dragon, but it may be too hard for you to fight right now if you're just beginning the world of ruin. You may wish to choose to get Cyan and come back later, or to complete some other quests and level up first if you can stand being without Cyan for that long. Getting Sabin's Bum rush helps for fighting the thunder dragon in this quest, so you may want to compete [[Final Fantasy VI/Sabin|Sabin's Sidequest]] first. | ||

Buy some equipment and you can talk to an old lady there who can show you the new location of familiar areas in the world of balance. You'll meet a girl there who's convinced she's still getting letters from Mobliz. Follow the pigeon she sends out to wind up in Zozo. Zozo is in the northeastern part of your current continent just for reference. | ||

If you just completed Cyan's first quest I would recommend waiting to beat this one until you finished a few more sidequests and added more characters to your party. | ||
To begin the quest, head to Doma Castle. For reference, Doma Castle is in the northeast area of the map, the castle on the small island between the giant U shaped continent and the islands with the dinosaur forest and the Veldt. Head through the left door then the right door inside Doma Castle to rest in the beds there. The three dream stooges will try to dine on Cyan's soul, and you'll follow after them. You'll begin with control of whatever character occupied the fourth slot in your party. I'd recommend giving this spot to a stronger character who can hold his/her own weight until you find your other party members. Sabin is a good choice for his multi-enemy blitzes. | To begin the quest, head to Doma Castle.

Curley is capable of reviving the other two members of the team so try to kill him first. They will do some annoying delta attacks which can turn party members to stone or do large damage so be prepared. Try some large multi-target spells to start with and do your most powerful physical attacks if you picked a character like Sabin. | Curley is capable of reviving the other two members of the team so try to kill him first.

You'll next find yourself on a | You'll next find yourself on a nightmare version of the phantom train. In the second car flip the switch to be able to reach the first treasure chest which has a Genji Glove, and pick up the lump of metal at the end of the room to get the chest to hold still so you can get a flame shield. Flip the switch and remember the positions of the open and closed chests, which should just be the right one on the top row closed and the left and middle ones on the bottom row closed. The next puzzle is a little tricky to explain. You need to open up a path which will let you go through the bottom area by raising the two boxes at the bottom of the screen and rotating a platform. The first switch moves a platform which gives you access to another switch, you'll basically have to go back and forth until you work out a combination which lets you pass underneath the switches. Then enter the pattern we discussed earlier by closing the top right box and the bottom left and middle boxes and flip the switch to move on. You can save in one of the next cars, and go in the final one to find yourself transported to a new area. | ||
You'll all find yourself in suits of magitek armor, running around the caves of Narshe. The bolt beam seems to do the most damage, use the heal beam if you need it and heal between battles. After going through the first area you can either go through the next area then turn around or turn around right away then go through the passage to move on. The doors in this area aren't "logical", you have to go backwards to reach a new area, otherwise you'll just end up running in circles. Follow Cyan over the bridge in the new area and you'll fall and find yourself in Doma castle. | You'll all find yourself in suits of magitek armor, running around the caves of Narshe.

Cyan's wife and son will inform you that you're inside Cyan's soul, where he's being tortured by a beast known as Wrexsoul. Save your game. You can go outside the castle and to the left and right to witness two scenes with Cyan and his son, and go in the top right room of the castle to witness a scene with his wife. When you're ready, head into the throne room and prepare to fight Wrexsoul. | Cyan's wife and son will inform you that you're inside Cyan's soul, where he's being tortured by a beast known as Wrexsoul.

The easy way to beat Wrexsoul is to just cast X-Zone from the start, which can be learned from the cursed ring or the Fenir esper. Just have one party member cast it and he'll be defeated instantly. Otherwise he'll "possess" one of your party members and only appear when that member dies. What you'll basically have to do is kill off a party member and see if his/her death triggers the arrival of Wrexsoul, and if not try another one.

Eventually you'll defeat it, and Cyan will gain all of his swordtech techniques. Head back into the throne room for an Alexander esper, and make sure to get all the items in Doma Castle. | ||
