There may be actions that are done for practical purpose or for no particular purpose in the playthrough; the mandatory actions done in this episode are the following and they can be used as a guide (note that during this playthrough, certain actions can only be done during a short period of time and others can be postponed; note also that there is the possibility I may have missed events like dialogue replacement, sprite change, additional scenes and so on, since those are not generally considered as goals and are not documented at all):
* Obtain an Elixir (you must go to the bridge when boarding the Hilda Garde 3 to be able to obtain the treasure; timecode: 11:57).
* Obtain a Tent (timecode: 12:00).
* Talk to the Adventurer (timecode: 25:43).
* Obtain the Capricorn (timecode: 25:54).
* Read the description of the key item "Capricorn" (timecode: 25:58).
* Talk to the Four-armed Man with a treasure hunter rank lower than S (the purpose is to not trigger the scene leading to obtaining the Rank S key item when talking ot him for the first time, in order to be able to talk to him again to display his updated dialogue in which he says "You came to see me again?"; this was possible thanks to the numbers of treasures skipped on purpose from the time the Blue Narciss has been obtained until obtaining the Hilda Garde 3; timecode: 26:14).
* Obtain a Meteor Card (a Flare Card can be obtained as an alternate reward; timecode: from 26:35 to 26:41).
* Obtain an Elixir (timecode: 28:29).
* Show the Namingway card to the Guy Doing Research (timecode: 28:35).
* Obtain an Elixir (timecode: 28:55).
* Talk to Oracle Kildea (timecode: 29:55).
* Trigger Mene's message about the completion of digging up the Chocographs in Chocobo's Forest after finding the 6th Chocograph Piece (the message will be triggered in Chocobo's Lagoon if the action of discovering the 6th piece is done there; timecode: 41:28).
Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* Using the Ore/Aquamarine exchanger for the first time is not listed among the requirements because the items optimization implies doing the action.
* If I had chosen the option to get the Namingway card in Treno during the events of the cards tournament, and then to voluntarily leave the Namingway card at the Desert Palace for later, I could have been able to display a special dialogue from the Guy Doing Research in Duagerreo (without having to reset afterwards), visible only by talking to the Guy Doing Research while having no Namingway cards but after having shown the card before (this involves showing him the card at least once and then discarding it; I would have got the second card after that at the Desert Palace). However, I chose the option to send Vivi to Quan's Dwelling during the cards tournament events in order to display more interesting dialogues and scenes about Vivi's past.
* Note that I made sure that 100 cards are in the inventory each time I dig up a chest in the world map, in order to be able to recover the cards from Fat Chocobo in Disc 4 (the purpose is being able to use the "arrows manipulation" trick to obtain some cards with the wanted amount of arrows).
