We're now back to where the beginning of the game started, with Clive as a Branded after being forced into slavery on his mother's whim. His mom is basically Cersei in that she's completely irredeemable. A bit of running around and we'll quickly end up in a boss fight against Shiva's Dominant, and then immediately after with Tiamat. Easy bosses, that you might only struggle with if you're still trying to get a handle on the controls and how everything works. You may notice in the fight against Shiva's Dominant that some bosses can't be staggered/killed if they're in the middle of a fancy attack animation, though they can still take damage at least. Is a bit annoying when you're expecting them to die or get staggered and they just won't, however.

After that, Cid shows up to save the day and takes us to the Hideaway, which is like the hub area of the game. After that is spending a lot of time exploring it and getting to know the people there and the facilities available.
