Aside from the Iifa Tree, this can be one of the most frustrating circuits in the whole challenge!!!! I even think the Iifa Tree is easier than this! If you plan to use Limit Glove to defeat Lani, you will have to equip Quina with a Cotton Robe and a Gold Choker once you get him/her.

Strategy using Limit Glove:
Dagger should survive Lani's first attack, so have Vivi and Dagger attack Quina. There is a 33% chance the damage dealt will equal 89. Lani has max speed so if Vivi and Dagger's ATB gauges are not very full at the start then you will have to reset.

Strategy using Lucky Seven:
Simpler to execute but requires some luck. Have Vivi attack Zidane. With the Mage Staff, Vivi will deal either 18 or 19 damage. 18 is what you want. If you get 19, have Vivi attack again in hopes of dealing 19 more damage to get Zidane's HP to end in 7. With the Flame Staff Vivi deals 18 damage every time! After that, keep using Lucky Seven until you win.

After defeating Lani, equip Zidane with the Dagger and Vivi with the Ice Staff and Magus Hat before fetching Armodullahan's Elixir. If you can, learn Night while in an encounter with 2 Abomination, as a few boss battles will be easier to beat on Disc 3 with it. It's NOT REQUIRED, but the guide insists on it.

When using the pick-axe to free Kuppo, you free him in 3 stages. It takes as few as 4 to at most 8 to get him to say "Ku...", then another 2 or 3 hits for "Kupo...", then 2 or 3 more to finally free him. I got the 5-7-9 pattern which is the 2nd fastest.

I have put off selling items until I get to the Black Mage Village, when I have to do that anyway, so I will not list that part of the guide until the next video.

Beginners should never try to make it to the chocobo tracks without saving first on the Outer Continent. You have been warned!
