Mognet Letters: Deliver #6 From Atla to Monev
Read From Ruby to Zidane
The ascent up the trunk is fairly straight forward, just flip a few switches and collect everything, as this location will be gone once we are done here. Once you get to Monev, deliver his letter and save. Then the tougher part of the segment begins.
Target Time - 4:08:30, Random Encounters - 0
Continuing up the ascent, just more treasures to collect and screen transitions. The screen with the Flame Staff has a high encounter rate so it might take a few tries to get going. The whirlpools will eject you in a random direction so all you can do is mash.
BEFORE ENTERING the Cleyra Settlement, prepare Vivi and Freya for the next fight NOW as they will leave the party and not rejoin until the fight begins:
Optimize Vivi (should get the Mythril Vest and Gold Choker) then Freya. Give Freya the Iron Helm and Vivi the Leather Wrist, then activate Ability Up for Freya.
Be sure to skip the tour or you will lose some valuable time. Begin in the settlement by going up the right path. On the second screen, watch the 'Yummy-Yummies!' ATE after picking up the Ore. Then make a quick stop at Burmecian Soldier Dan's shop:
Buy - 1 Partisan, 2 Mage's Hat, 2 Mythril Helm
Pick up the Remedy on the stairs to the right of Dan, then watch the 'There a Mushroom!' ATE on the next screen. Take the bridge up to the top of the settlement and talk to Tree Oracle Wylan. Once he says wait at the Inn, head back down to the sandpit taking the left path down to the entrance. Enter the sandpit and talk to Quina. You will be dropped near two treasures only accessible with Quina and watching the two ATEs mentioned earlier.
Now make your way back to the Inn in Cleyra to advance the plot and Antlion will now be in the sandpit. If you went toward the front of the Inn beforehand you would lose access to the Silk Robe and Magician Shoes as Antlion would block the drop to the treasures.
Read Ruby's letter to Zidane and finally save! Yes, a save was skipped to save time but its only six minutes. I remember this save taking about a whole day to get, and the rest of Cleyra will be just as reset-heavy.
