There is nothing you can do here yet, so go up the stairs. To the right are Feather Boots. After you get them, examine the light shining from the floor on the top left. It is some type of projector. Examine the right one next. Go back downstairs, and examine the one on the right, then the one on the left. These give a little information about unfamiliar airships. Go back upstairs and through the doorway on the left. Walk across the first arch, and examine another projector. Continue across the next arch, and you will find yourself in the room with the globe holograph. Walk through the blue doors on the left, which will unlock for you. You will be in a disturbing room with walls full of faces. Here you will learn a little more about the mysterious Terra.

Return to the front hall, and go back through the doorway on the right. You may notice that this room looks different now. Save the game, and walk around the central area to the right. Another holographic image will appear. Continue around the room and get the Gaia Gear at the back. Now walk up the back stairs and onto the circular platform. Examine it, and it will carry you to another room. Equip the Clear Headed ability on your characters. Have Zidane inspect the strange object here, and Ark will appear. This is a tough machine. You can steal a Power Vest, Holy Lance, and Elixir from him. If Zidane trances, use Grand Lethal against the boss. After the battle, you will get a Pumice Piece. Walk up to the contraption and get the Gulug Stone.

Back at the Desert Palace, the other members of your group fear that Zidane will not return in time, and Cid decides to take matters into his own hands. Move him to the central platform, and then go right. You have six minutes to get the Hourglass Key. Pressing the O button to move, you must go very slowly toward the cage holding the Hedgehog Pie, stopping every time it turns to look at you. If it sees you moving, you will have to start back at the beginning, so move only when its back is turned to you. If you are unable to get the key and reset the hourglass before time runs out, you will have to start over.

After obtaining the key, move over to the scale and weights. Choose to examine them. You will have to use three of the weights on one side of the scale so Cid can climb up to reach the hourglass. Use the clay, stone, and iron weights. Have Cid climb up, and he will turn the hourglass over.

When your party reunites, Eiko will be in charge. If you chose to include her in the Oeilvert party, Vivi will lead the group. Update everyone's equipment, then go right, back into the room with the hourglass. Speak to Mojito the moogle (who was not visible from your frog's-eye perspective) and check Mognet. You will be asked to deliver a letter to Mogsam. Make whatever purchases necessary at the Mogshop, then save the game. Go back to the dungeon and up the stairs to the left. Examine the candelabrum to the left of the path, and then inspect the glowing orb on the other side. When you examine the bloodstone, you will receive the Promist Ring.

Run up the stairs and all the way to the right, then back to the left until the center statue's eyes light up and a crystalline pathway appears behind it. Follow that path up to the balcony. Light the candelabrum here, then go back down the shining pathway. Go right for the Fairy Earrings. Walk to the left and up the stairs. Light a fire in each of the three braziers, then walk through the doorway at the back. Follow the path to the other side of the balcony.

On this side, light only the brazier next to the roses. Go back to the left side of the balcony and then to the middle. Examine the sculpture at the center back to learn that "the path will open when all lamps are lit." Light the braziers at either side of the staircase, then light the remaining two on the right. Go down the stairs and light the last brazier, then run back up and inspect the bloodstone to receive an Anklet. Go through the doorway on the right, and light the candelabrum in the hallway. Inspect the bloodstone to get the Shield Armor. Continue around the hallway, and then walk slightly toward the screen to go up the stairs.

Light the candelabrum at the top, which will cause a stained glass window behind you to be illuminated. Walk around the circular path, and through the doorway into the library. Light the candelabrum on the left to make a staircase appear on the right. Walk up the stairs and light the other candelabrum. A bookshelf will move up, allowing access to a previously hidden doorway. Inspect the bloodstone to receive an N-Kai Armlet. Back in the library, walk up the small staircase. Read the clue which says, "Unlit stained glass opens the path when lit."
