You'll pass Marcus, who will close the gate before leaving for the Evil Forest. Run to the castle, evading or eliminating the soldiers who pursue you. Run up the castle stairs and around the square, then come toward the screen and up the next flight of stairs. Go right and then straight up the stairs and into the next room. Pull the lever (which looks like a strange candle) beside the fireplace and enter the secret area. You will have to step on the rotating platforms at the right times to get through this area. First get the two chests at the back for an Ice Brand and a Tent. Walk all the way down the circular stairs. At the final intersection, turn right and open the door at the top of the screen. Prepare to fight the bozos.

The twins are here, and they don't intend to let you pass. Steal the Mythril Armor and Mythril Armlet from Thorn, and the Partisan and Stardust Rod from Zorn. Attack whichever of the two is about to use the meteor or flare power to avoid getting hit by a powerful magic spell. If you can keep them from getting these spells off, this should be an easy battle. It will end prematurely, like those with Beatrix. After the battle, there will be a short scene, and then an ATE.


You will have to carry the unconscious Dagger up to the queen's chamber. Stop to speak to Mosh the moogle, and check Mognet to find that Mosh got a letter from Kupo. Rest and save the game. When you get upstairs, there will be another short scene. Apparently Zorn and Thorn went to get Beatrix. Come on, you know what's next. Let Beatrix flip her hair a few times, and then take her on again. If possible, steal the Survival Vest, Ice Brand, and Phoenix Down. She uses the attacks you have come to expect, so stay on your toes and heal whoever needs it. She will use Climhazzard and leave everyone with one HP before she ends yet another battle early.

Zidane convinces her of the queen's treachery, and she uses her magic to revive Dagger. A brief scene leaves Beatrix and Freya allied against the queen's forces while the others escape. Enjoy this opportunity to fight with the powerful General Beatrix. Not only is she a strong fighter, but she possesses advanced white magic.

Go back down the spiral stairs. You will be chased by Bandersnatches as you go. A platform will connect to a new doorway and black mages will come through. You will have to fight three Type C black mages before you can proceed. Continue down the staircase, fighting whatever gets in your way. Steiner will have a change of heart, regretting leaving Freya and Beatrix to face the queen's wrath alone. He rejoins them after charging Zidane and Vivi with escorting the princess safely to Dr. Tot.

Steiner will join Beatrix and Freya just in time to assist them in a battle. With Zidane's party, you may encounter Type B's or C's in random battles as you go. Return to the chapel, speak to Mosh again, and get a letter for Monty. Rest and save the game.
