Head to the next area at bottom of the screen. In this area there are three cards (Zombie, Lizard Man, and Sahagin) around the outside of the circle, and a potion by the statue. Head back up to the north to the tavern area to get 33{{FF9/G}} and a Goblin card in the grass at the bottom of the screen. | ||

At this point, you can head east into the bar, and find another potion, a Flan card, and 27{{FF9/G}}. Leave the bar and head north, then enter the item shop to the east and search around for 38{{FF9/G}}. At this point, you can stock up on a few simple items if you would like.

You can get some great prizes from them for winning, but it is extremely challenging to complete. The best way to get some good prizes is try and keep a beat going between Vivi's feet and pressing the {{psx|X}} button. The rope will get faster and faster at each prize level, but at 200 it becomes a weird pattern, so turn the volume up and listen to Vivi's feet to figure it out. At 300 the timing will go back to normal but very fast. You also have another chance at this game later on when you come back to Alexandra. The Weapon and Synth shops are to the east. Both are closed for now, but you can find a Remedy in the weapon shop and an Ether in the synthesis shop. | ||

When you are satisfied with your exploration and scavenging, make your way to the ticket booth. The booth is in the center of Alexandria's main square (about as far north of your starting position as you can go). The Synthesist and Weapon Smiths are nearby as well, but you won't be able to get anything from them at this time. The Inn is just across the square from the shops. | When you are satisfied with your exploration and scavenging, make your way to the ticket booth.

He'll ask you about the ticket and then say he can get you in if you will be his slave. Tell him NO right now so your able to get the cards from the church in the next area. In Ilia's house you can find Eye Drops and 3{{FF9/G}} (but you'll have to wait for her to leave if you want to steal her money). In the church you'll find a Potion, Tent, and three cards (Ironite, Goblin, and Fang) by climbing up the ladder and pulling the rope at the top. You can get a Bomb card from Tom if you find his cat (the cat will be all the way back by the statue near the city's entrance) and then talk to him again after. | ||
When you walk back to where the sign keeper was, the Rat Kid will ask you to help steal the ladder. This time agree with him and he will take the ladder back to the dock area. When the Rat Kid leaves a man in a pointy hat will walk into the alley. If he bumps into you, he'll steal some Gil, but if you talk to him, you'll find out he's Alleyway Jack, and he can give you the Tetra Master tutorial when you see him again in the bar. Once that is complete, retrace your steps and follow the Rat Kid down the alleyway. | |||
When you are done, climb up to the belltower. You'll meet the moogles, who will give you the option to save your game, and can give you the Mognet sidequest. This one, Kupo, will give you a letter for another moogle named Monty. | When you are done, climb up to the belltower.

At this point you'll be in control of Zidane's party again. This time, though, you're performing a battle on stage, and you have an SFX option in your battle menu to set off special effects. The special effects don't do any damage, but they look good, and that's important when you're putting on a show. Your targets won't take much damage to go down, anyway (which is good, because the showy attacks you're using here won't do much damage anyway). | At this point you'll be in control of Zidane's party again.

Everyone returns to the Prima Vista at this point, and you begin controlling Zidane again. Talk to Ruby and chase Garnet through the ship. Turn the wheel attached to the engine to the left and to the right to release chests with a Phoenix Pinion and Phoenix Down, respectively. Before you continue, make sure you've got the items you'd like equipped (especially if you stole some decent items in previous fights).
