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):
* Choose to pull back from Shimmering Island (timecode: 01:09).
* Obtain a Coronet (timecode: 04:00).
* Obtain a Dragon Wrist (timecode: 04:10).
* Obtain an Elixir (timecode: 04:43).
* Obtain a Remedy (timecode: 07:04).
* Obtain a Mythril Racket (timecode: 07:13).
* Obtain a Demon's Vest (timecode: 08:18).
* Obtain a Minerva's Plate (timecode: 10:16).
* Talk to a female genome in the pond (timecode: 15:25).
* Talk to a child genome in the pond (timecode: 15:32).
* Obtain a Wing Edge (timecode: 15:40).
* Buy Stiltzkin's items (timecode: 17:26).
* Refuse to take the letter from Moorock to Mozme (timecode: 17:37).

* Talk to a male genome in the pond (timecode: 18:11).
* Obtain a copy of Angel Earrings (timecode: 18:25).
* Obtain a Flash Hat (timecode: 18:39).
* For the upcoming forced battle in Pandemonium, ensure that Freya is equipped with Barbut, Venetia Shield, Minerva's Plate and Barette, and that her Level Up is deactivated (as a reminder, this implies that Steiner must carry the 100th copy of Silver Gloves and the 100th Diamond Armor; in this section, the last time Steiner can be taken in the party is when you land on Terra and becomes unavailable when reaching Bran Bal, while the last time Freya can be taken in the party is when reaching Bran Bal and becomes unavailable when Zidane enters Bran Bal's inn; timecode: from 19:05 to 19:13).
* Obtain an Elixir (timecode: 22:22).
* Obtain an Elixir (timecode: 23:20).
* Watch the ATE "Place to Call Home" (timecode: 24:56).
* Talk to Quina (timecode: 25:48).
* Watch the ATE "Where the Heart Is" (timecode: 25:51).
* Talk to Vivi (timecode: 26:55).
* Watch the ATE "Came into this World" (timecode: 27:01).
* Talk to Amarant (timecode: 28:39).
* Defeat the mandatory Amdusias with Freya alone (the battle will make her gain 7 levels and reach level 25; timecode: from 39:30 to 43:55).
* Defeat the mandatory Abadon with Quina alone for no level gain (timecode: from 44:40 to 47:10).
* Defeat the mandatory Shell Dragon with Garnet alone for no level gain (timecode: from 47:50 to 49:54).
* Obtain a Holy Miter (timecode: 52:02).
* Arrange to possess 100 Zorlin Shapes before initiating the battle against Silver Dragon (if not maximized before entering Terra, if not enough Gils are possessed to do so and if no character has reached level 99, you may be forced to collect Gils by impractical means like selling stolen items in Pandemonium; timecode: 52:57).
* Trigger the availablity of the ATE "The Elevator" (it seems you need to return to the control room at least two times after failing to take the elevator from at least three different ledges; timecode: 1:00:36).
* Obtain 20007 Gil (timecode: 1:01:55).
* Obtain an Elixir (timecode: 1:04:10).
* Obtain a Carabini Mail (timecode: 1:04:30).
* Obtain a copy of Battle Boots (timecode: 1:06:33).
* Deliver the letter from Moorock to Mozme (timecode: 1:08:08).
* Read the description of the key item "Kupo Nut" (timecode: 1:08:21).
* Exit the screen with the eyes by the left access to replace Garnet's sprite (timecode: 1:25:16).

Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* You will notice an important drop in image quality from the episode 44 and onwards, due to a forced device replacement (the previous phone was stolen). I would suggest then setting the video quality at the max 720p in order to make it bearable.
* It is highly recommended to ensure that Zidane's Auto-Life is activated throughout the section of the first mandatory battles in Pandemonium.
* It seems Quina, Vivi and Eiko cannot operate the elevator's controls (maybe because the two latter are too short to reach the controls), so I took the opportunity to select a party so that Amarant can be "controlled" outside of battles, during the ATE "The Elevator".
