*** You will lose your Enterprise 2.0. Hence, you will also lose access to sea surface monsters, so make sure that you collect your bestiary list, see: 24. Missable Bestiaries (Optional).

*** I highly recommend you level your Dragoon job to at least to level 20 before entering Saronia.

When you are ready, fly to Saronia and watch a scene. Now that your ship is destroyed, you are basically stuck in the castle area. There are 4 towns, each at the eadge of the castle:

• Northwestern Saronia
• Northeastern Saronia
• Southestern Saronia
• Southwestern Saronia

Now exit the castle, and go to Southwestern Saronia.

Chests (11):

• Gysahl Greens (x11)

1. Go to (1) to collect 11 chests, you can talk to a guy inside to summon Fat Chocobo.
2. Go to (2) to a trigger a show, you will fight 3 Gold Knights.
3. Go to (3) and talk to an old man for a Dragon Mail.
4. Go to (4) and talk to another old man for a Wind Spear.

There is nothing to do in town except the Dragon Spire, so go straight (1) Dragon Spire. It a dungeon with monsters inside, so be careful.

Chests (12):

• Dragon Helm (x4)
• Dragon Mail (x3)
• Thunder Spear (x3)
• Phoenix Down (x2)

All treasure chests are at top. Go up until you find the chests.

Skip this town because there is nothing here, unless you want to use INN and buy Thunder Spear. Magic Stores are locked right.

Skip this town as well unless you want to use INN or buy items.

Chests (20):

• Ice Rod
• Rusty Mail (x2)
• Medusa Arrow
• Dragon Hammer 
• Main Gauche
• Tome of Fire
• Tome of Ice
• Golem Staff
• Scholar Hat
• Boomerang
• Selene Bow
• Tome of Light
• Viking Helm
• Earthen Bell
• Dragon Helm
• Gaia Vest
• Viking Mail
• Phoenix Down (x2)

Remember I recommend you to level up Dragoon job? well, you haven't do so, you can still leveling up outside the castle. Save you game before entering the castle because once you do, you will have to watch a long show, then fight a boss Garuda. Trust me he is really tough and most effective strategy is to kill him as soon as possible. See the strategy below:

• Everyone change their job to Dragoon, equip all dragon equipment, Wind Spear, and Thunder Spears.
• When the battle started, everyone uses "Jump" and keep Jumping until he is dead. 
• The big problem here is he can that Garuda can attack twice per turn, his Thunder attack can wipe out your party in one or two shots. If you are lucky enough, you can defeat him in the first try.

Now that you have defeated Garuda, it's time get some rewards.

• Go to (1), there is a hidden passageway, to collect 12 chests. Go down further to collect another 6 chests. 
• Now backtrack, get outside to (2) and then (3). Inside, you will another hidden passageway that leads to underground (follow the map). Pick up the 2 Phoenix Down, then backtrack to (7). 
• Go inside (7) and talk to any one of the four engineer, they will give you a new airship, Nautilus. It sits outside the castle.
• Exit the castle to board your brand new airship. At this point you've lost the ability to sail the sea, instead, you can now dive under water.

Saronia is at peace once again, all Weapon and Magic shops in Saronia are all open to business again, so feel to shop whatever you like.
