Now head south to Qu's Marsh. The entrance to the underground passageway is somewhere in the marsh. You'll find Quina by the pond, and she will rejoin your party. There may not be enough frogs to catch yet, because you never want to catch the babies, so if there aren't, just continue north to Master Quale's house. Ask him about the excavation site. He will give you a little info, but only a very little. Go outside and head right, into the swamp. Quina will find the entrance to the excavation site inadvertently, just by letting her appetite lead the way. Enter the tunnel, and you will have discovered Fossil Roo.

Almost immediately, you will be chased up a hazardous path by a machine called Armodullahan. It uses Level 5 Death, so hopefully you don't have many party members with a level that is a multiple of five. It has an Ore, Hi-Potion, and Ether to steal, so it isn't too important if you aren't able to get them. You will have to run along paths with swinging pendulums. Run along the upper edge, dodging the pendulums. If you get stopped by one, you might get caught by Armodullahan, which just keeps coming. You will eventually come to a place where there is a big gap in the floor. You must jump over it, and Armodullahan will fall in.

In the next room, you will meet Lani, who sent the machine after you. You might recognize her as the female bounty hunter (and the guest book complainer). She really wants Dagger's pendant, so you'll have to fight her. Cast slow on her, and use Mighty Guard. Steal the Ether and Gladius if you can. She tends to use elemental spells, and she loves to use Scan. She will concentrate on Dagger, so make sure to keep her healthy.

After taking enough hurt, Lani will run off, saying she's letting you go for now. Um . . . right. Nice of her. Continue to the next room, where Zidane sees an untamed gargant. Run to the left and pick a flower. Go right, stop at the !, and hold up the flower. The gargant will stop for you, so jump on. It will take you to a new area. Run up the stairs and through the doorway. Oh, and four out of five gamers surveyed hate Fossil Roo worse than going to the dentist, so don't feel bad if you leave this area with your sanity hanging by a thread.

Speak to the Treasure Hunter, and he will give you a lot of info about gargants and navigating the tunnels. Speak to him a second time, then run down the steps beside you. Buy from Stiltzkin again, then speak to Mogki, who used to be in the Lindblum Castle guest room. Check Mognet, and read the letter from Kuppo, who is apparently hidden somewhere in Fossil Roo. Mogki also runs a Mogshop, so buy what you need, rest, and save.
