Previously, when the party set sail for Baron, Leviathan saw fit to wreck their ship. Cecil washed up alone near Mysidia. Mysidia's Elder assigned him two very young companions, the twin mages Palom and Porom, and sent him to Mount Ordeals. On the mountain, Cecil again joined forces with Tellah. At the Summit, they defeated both of Scarmiglione's forms. At the shrine, Cecil gave up the dark blade and became a Paladin. Tellah remembered his forgotten spells and also learned Meteor, though he lacks the MP to cast it. Now, the party will descend the mountain and return to Mysidia.

Mount Ordeals:

The party resumes at the Mount Ordeals - Summit save point. Cecil starts as a Level 1 Paladin, but he will catch up very quickly, especially with Level Lust.

The party descends to the Mount Ordeals - Crossing.

After the first battle, Cecil the Paladin jumps from Level 1 to Level 8. He learns the White Magic spells Sight and Libra.

In the east of the Crossing, the party finds the Curse augment, which appears when Scarmiglione is defeated.

Cecil reaches Level 9.

The party continues down to the Mount Ordeals - Trail.

Cecil jumps from Level 9 to Level 11. He learns the White Magic spell Protect. Tellah reaches Level 23.

The party reaches the Mount Ordeals - Entrance.

Cecil reaches Level 12.

The party exits Mount Ordeals to the Overworld.

Overworld (time 7:49):

The party heads to the Chocobo Forest southwest of the mountain.

Along the way, Palom reaches Level 22 and learns the Black Magic spell Toad. Cecil reaches Level 13. Porom reaches Level 22.

Chocobo Forest (time 9:00):

After healing and talking to the White Chocobo to get their MP restored, the party snags a Yellow Chocobo.

Overworld (time 9:21):

The party rides west to Mysidia.

Mysidia (time 9:51):

The party goes to the Hall of Prayer. A scene takes place when they approach the Elder. After they discuss several things, the Elder unlocks the Devil's Road so the party can go to Baron.

The entrance to the Devil's Road is in the east of Mysidia. The party takes the teleporter to Baron.

Baron (time 15:16):

The party arrives in the town of Baron.

They head to the inn. Upstairs in the pub, they find none other than Yang! However, Fabul's monk is not himself. He sics two Baron guards on the party!

The Baron Guardsmen are not too difficult. However, they can counter with the Pig spell. Make sure your attackers have a Ruby Ring equipped, and they will be fine.

Then, the party must battle Yang himself. His Kick can take a toll on the mages. However, his HP is not all that high.

After the battle, Yang comes to his senses and rejoins the party. Yay! The party gets a room and discusses things. Yang hands over the Baron Key, which they can use to find a way into the castle.

Yang rejoins the party as he left at Level 21. He gears up again and equips Ice and Lightning Claws. The party will soon be visiting a sewer area. Some enemies will be weak to lightning, some to ice.

With the Baron Key, the party can now unlock the weapon and armor shop in town. From the weaponsmith, they pick up a couple of Thunder Rods. Palom equips one, but Tellah equips an Ice Rod.

From the armorer, the party picks up a Headband for Yang.

Behind the armorer's counter, a chest contains 2,000 gil. Behind the weaponsmith's counter, a chest contains a Zeus's Wrath.

The party uses the Baron Key to unlock the door to the Ancient Waterway in the west of town.

At the sundries shop, a new merchant is available. The party stocks up on a few more Echo Herbs.

The party takes the western door to the Ancient Waterway.
