Vanille and Sazh
This time Vanille is the leader. Before we continue we also want to use all our Crystarium Points. For Vanille, max out Saboteur, Medic, then Ravager. For Sazh, max out Cammando, Synergist, then Ravager. Also, you should have one accessory slot for Sazh so equip Power Wristband on him.

- ACCESSORY (T-04): Doctor's Code (x1)
Backtrack and continue on the main path. There is a short tutorial ahead about avoiding enemies. So I suggest you avoid these Scalebeasts monsters for now, except the one who is guarding an item.
Go ahead and skip the first Scalebeast, then turn left you'll see another one. This is the one you want to kill.
- ENEMY (E-14): Scalebeast (FIRST ENCOUNTER)
- Strategy:
- Sneak up behind for Preemptive Strike.
- Start with RAV/COM, immediately hit it a few attacks to stagger it.
- Once it's staggered, switch to SAB/SYN then cast Deprotect, Deshell, and Poison and make sure they are sticked (you'll see 3 red icons). Sazh should have casted Bravery, Faith, and Vigilance on both of you.
- Switch to RAV/COM for full assault.
- Use MED/COM whenever you health is yellow or below.
- Repeat RAV/COM and MED/COM until you stagger it then finish it off.
- ITEM (T-05): Iron Shell (x15)
- ITEM (T-06): Librascope (x1)
- ENEMY (E-15): Gremlin (x4)
- ENEMY (E-16): Gremlin (x3)
- ITEM (T-07): Scaled Wing (x10)
- ENEMY (E-17): Gremlin (x6)
For the next section, I need to give you a bit of an explanation. Along the way, you'll come across several Climate Control Orbs, basically, when you touch it, it will change the weather to either rainy or sunny. So what is the point of changing the weather? Well, because different weathers spawn different monsters. There are 2 notable monsters (Wyvern and Garchimacera) that can only be found in this area which mean that they are missable so I suggest you follow this guide closely so that we are on the page. Okay, the first Climate Control Orb should activate automatically when you walk toward it.
- ENEMY (E-18): Mud Frog (x1) (FIRST ENCOUNTER), Hedge Frog (x3)
(One thing to note about Mud Frog is that it can summon more Hedge Frogs.)
Skip this orb and use the right path:
- ENEMY (E-19): Mud Frog (x2) (LAST ENCOUNTER), Hedge Frog (x1) (LAST ENCOUNTER)
- ENEMY (E-20): Scalebeast (x1) (LAST ENCOUNTER), Gremlin (x2)
(The Strategy for Scalebeast is the same as above, except this time you will want to kill those two annoying Gremlins first and try stagger it first before applying debuffs)
- ACCESSORY (T-08): Metal Armband (x1)
Activate the third orb. The three Mud Frogs will replaced by Wyvern:
- ENEMY (E-21): Wyvern (x1) (FIRST ENCOUNTER)
Strategy: Start with SAB/SYN and cast Deshell and Deprotect on it, switch to COM/RAV and RAV/RAV until it's staggered, then switch RAV/COM for damage. Repeat the process but watch out for health bars, switch to MED/COM any time when you are low.
- ENEMY (E-22): Wyvern (x1), Garchimacera (x1) (FIRST ENCOUNTER)
Then take the left path.
- ENEMY (E-23): Flandragora (x3)
- ACCESSORY (T-09): Aqua Ring (x1)
- ENEMY (E-24): Gremlin (x1) (LAST ENCOUNTER), Garchimacera (x2)
- ENEMY (E-25): Wyvern (x1) (LAST ENCOUNTER), Garchimacera (x2)
Skip the fourth orb.
- ENEMY (E-26): Flandragora (x2)
- ENEMY (E-27): Flandragora (x4) (LAST ENCOUNTER)
- ENEMY (E-25): Garchimacera (x3) (LAST ENCOUNTER)
It is time to use all your Crystarium Points again before proceeding to the next section. Put everything on Ravager for Vanille and Sazh. There is a Save Point ahead so use it and prepare for a boss fight.
BOSS: Enlil and Enki
Paradigms (Vanille/Sazh):
- RAV/COM
- MED/COM
- SAB/SYN
- RAV/RAV
- BOSS (B-01): Enlil (x1), Enki (x1)
Strategy:- Use one Librascope.
- Start with SAB/SYN and cast Deprotect, Deshell, and Poison on Enlil. Sazh should have casted a few buffs on the party as well.
- Switch to RAV/COM and RAV/RAV to quickly stagger him then stick to RAV/COM for damage.
- Use MED/COM when you need healing.
- Repeat the same process on Enki.
It is not a tough fight, isn't it? Now remove all your accessories before continue.
