Previously, the party fought Firemane. As they were about to escape the Garamsythe Waterway, the Empire caught them and shipped them off to Nalbina Dungeons. The Empire has even confiscated the party's weapons. Against Balthier's advice, Vaan went looking for a way out.
Vaan resumes in the Stockade in Nalbina Dungeons. He picks up two Battle Lore licenses for 30 LP apiece.
Then, Vaan moves on from the Stockade (time 1:11). A scene takes place as he enters the Arena. He runs afoul of the jailhouse bullies, a trio of Seeq. Fortunately, Balthier arrives to back him up.
Afterwards, Vaan and Balthier must battle Daguza, Galeedo, and Gwitch in the Arena (time 3:37). If Vaan picked up any Knots of Rust in the Stockade, they will be useful here. So too will magick, if Vaan picked up any. Otherwise, the party will just have to slug it out. Daguza is the ringleader, so save him for last.
Vaan and Balthier defeat the Seeq bullies (time 4:33). A scene reveals some individuals with a professional interest in Balthier, as well as one of the more important antagonists.
We regain control of Vaan, Balthier, and Fran in the Confiscatory (time 8:48). Balthier picks up a Magick Lore license for 30 LP and White Magick 2 for 20 LP. Fran picks up White Magick 3 for 25 LP and the adjacent Black Magick 3 for 25 LP. Black Magick 3 will allow her to use the Silence spell that Vaan found in the Yardang Labyrinth.
A scene takes place as the party approaches the open doorway near the save point (time 10:05). The party finds their wrested relics and raiments! In other words, they recover their lost items and equipment. They also acquire the Nalbina Dungeons map.
In the original Playstation 2 version of the game, the Confiscatory is another zone where you want to avoid the treasure coffers if you want to get the Zodiac Spear. Fortunately, that is not a concern in this version of the game.
One treasure coffer contains a Tourmaline Ring (time 10:56). The Tourmaline Ring provides immunity to Poison and Sap and halves Ice damage. It requires the Accessories 5 license. The party also finds another Orrachea Armlet.
The party continues east (time 11:48). A scene takes place as they enter the Black Watch.
We gain control of the party after the scene (time 12:38). The enemies here are all Imperial soldiers.
Vaan reaches Level 7 (time 13:22).
A coffer in the west of the zone yields a Bronze Helm (time 18:55). Too bad none of my party can use heavy armor.
Balthier and Fran reach Level 8 (time 19:38).
A scene takes place as the party crosses the north-central hall (time 21:07). The way forward is opened.
The party goes through the newly opened door (time 22:14). A scene takes place in the Oubliette. The Judge's true face is quite revealing, eh? The prisoner is familiar, too. The major events happen after the Imperials leave. Nice job, Vaan.
The next scene takes place where the prisoner's cage lands (time 24:43). You might want to learn a little more self-control there, Vaan. Basch joins the party as a guest at Level 10, a few levels higher than Vaan.
We regain control of the party in the Lightworks zone of the Barheim Passage (time 25:37).
One of the coffers in the northeast room contains a good amount of gil (time 26:26). That will be useful at the area's merchant.
The party saves at the save crystal. Next time, they will begin exploring Barheim Passage.
Thanks for watching!
