Items: Glass Bracelet, Ether

Head south from where you first get off the shuttle, then go up the set of stairs to your left. Go to the right when you get to the top of those stairs, and you will be in a room with a fountain. The guard will keep you from taking the elevator, so go up the stairs. Go in the first door, where you will find Steiner who is looking for Dagger and runs away. There is a mogli here if you want to save, but also be sure to use the mognet from this location. Go back down the spiraling stairs in this room to the room you were in before. Go back to the fountain room, and Dagger will start to hum a song.

The guard will still not let you use the elevator, so go back into the room you were just in and down the stairs this time, to find a guard sleeping on the couch. Zidane will beat him up and steal his uniform, in order to use the lift. Go back to the lift and ride it to the top. Go to the left and up the stairs when you reach the top, then go up the spiraling stairs in that room, and once again when you get outside. There will be an FMV of Dagger singing to the birds, which will fly away when Zidane shows up, giving Dagger a dissapointed look. The two will go up and use the telescope to look over the surrounding areas.

Check each location when a "!" comes up while looking through the scope with Zidane. Dagger will be thinking to herself uncomfortably while she is looking at the scenery, and Zidane will ask her what is wrong. She isn't sure what to do about this whole kidnapping business she says. She will start to sing again, and the game will switch over to Steiner in a store, talking to a person about Brahne, and then over to two kids playing in town, who run away just as Vivi walks up, who examines the figures they were playing with left over on the ground. Freija will be jumping around on top of the buildings, then take huge leaps to the ground on her way to the castle. Cid will be examining some plans of his.

The game will switch back to Zidane and Dagger. Back in town, the guards are talking, and large trucks have arrived. A bunch of Fang monsters will break out of the back of the first truck, followed by some Muu monsters being released from a garage door. Finally, a huge beast will be set free to run around town from its cage. Back in the tower of the castle, everyone has gathered up, and Freija, Vivi and Zidane will compete in a hunting game (with you controlling Zidane of course).

Use the mogli in the tower to save, and head back towards the shuttle car. Once you get on the car, you will have 12 minutes to hunt for monsters and kill them. Search for all the ones in the area you are dropped off first which is the same area as Zidane's house. Dagger and Steiner will be cheering for Vivi (awww).

You should be able to kill anything in just one swipe with the Ogrenix you combined while you were shopping in town. Use a Potion to heal after a battle is over if you need it, but be quick about it because time still flows on the sub-screen. If you pause the game, time will stop flowing. If you look at the top of the screen, who ever is in the lead and the number of points they have will be displayed. Your points will be at the bottom of the screen. You might see some names of other characters you have not yet met in the game leading, as a few others are competing as well, including Ronnie, and Genero who you will both meet later on in the game. If you go to the end of the area Zidane starts in, you should have killed a Mu, a Trick Sparrow, a Fang (it will wait on the other end of the barrels for a few seconds and then attack), and 1 more trick sparrow when you get back to the first room.

Head back to the shuttle and pick the first option to go back to the first area of town. A Trick Sparrow will swoop down and attack you here. Kill it, then head up into the area where the shops were. Another Mu will attack on the way. There is a Fang to the left when you get to the next area. Head to the section to the top (the left side, not the right), and there will be another Fang. There is also a Trick Sparrow right after the fang. Kill them both and head back one screen. Kill the Fang that is chasing Vivi, then head to the path on the right side of that area, and towards the top.

You should have around 3:00 minutes left, usually about 3:10 or 3:20. The huge boss monster will be here, about to attack 2 kids until Zidane steps in. Freija will also jump down from above and jump in the right. Use the Soul Mutation Katana skill with Zidane to make the monster blind, then attack with Zidane and Freija for 2 rounds or so. At this point, have Freija defend or use healing items, while Zidane attacks to ensure that he will get the killing blow and receive the points for it. The Sakunaru you just killed should give you enough points to win, even if you can't find anything else to kill afterwards. If there is still time, you can head back to the Shuttle and check out the 2nd Option to go to a different area and look for one or two more creatures to kill. Go up the stairs to the left when you get there and kill the Fang that is chasing the cat. I had 214 points when I won. Cid will give Zidane 5000 Gil and a Hunter's Badge for winning.

Before everyone can celebrate, a wounded Burmecian soldier limps in to inform Cid that Burmecia (the kingdom Freija is from) was attacked. Freija will want to go back and help out of course, and Zidane will convince her into letting him come along too. Vivi will volunteer to come as well, which Zidane accepts, but Dagger will want to come with Steiner, but Cid doesn't think it's a good idea. Zidane will agree that it is too dangerous for Dagger to join in. The group will eat a feast before leaving, but Dagger will refuse to eat anything.

Eventually Cid, Vivi, Freija and Zidane will fall over asleep from the Sleepul Potion Dagger put into the food. Steiner will yell out and starts to fall over too, until Dagger tells him that she didn't poison his food; he will respond with "oh....". Dagger will want to return to Alexandria in an attempt to talk Queen Brahne out of attacking all the surrounding kingdoms, and Steiner will guide her.
