This segment may look exciting.

Apart from learning Magic Breath in a Stilva encounter, though, this segment mainly consists of traversing the first half of Gaea's Cliff, which is not exactly that exciting.

In fact, of the three outside screens in which Cloud's body temperature has to be kept above 26°C, only the second one necessitates any warming up (for about 2-3 °C) at all.

I also had to make up a walking route myself (make more videos, Garland, I miss copying your routes... ;]) but that proved to be surprisingly simple. I don't know if even more walking could have reduced the number of random battles even more but the route I chose allowed me to skip two random battles, which already seems like a lot.

Actually, I was considering to menu-skip all random battles except for the Stilva one, however, even though this was possible, I took longer than just fleeing from the battles and it was almost impossible as I ended up having to skip 12(!) battles.

Now, the Stilva fight worked out perfectly (not that I would have accepted anything else). Stilva started off with casting Magic Breath (which happens with a probability of 25%).
I read that due to Cloud's stats, one might have a hard time surviving Magic Breath and 1HKOing Stilva afterwards but, fortunately, I survived Stiva's Magic Breath and was able to kill Stilva in one hit afterwards all the time, which made this segment much less annoying than it could have been.
