Follow this Final Fantasy IX walkthrough to navigate the Conde Petie Mountain Path, find hidden items, and defeat the boss Hilgigars. Includes tips and strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon entering the Mountain Path, Eiko joins your party. Equip her with gear, prioritizing abilities like Ability Up.
  2. 2
    Climb the vine above Quina's initial position to find a chest containing a Remedy.
  3. 3
    Continue right to a pedestal, take the Blue Stone when prompted, and return to the previous screen.
  4. 4
    Go to the bottom right exit. On the next screen, climb the root to reach a chest with a Tent and a pedestal with the Red Stone.
  5. 5
    Return to the previous screen, climb down the vine, and proceed.
  6. 6
    (Optional) Capture an Oglop by mashing the action button as you approach it. Bring it to Bryan Rootrunner in Conde Petie for an Oglop Card.
  7. 7
    Give Suzuna the letter from Mogmatt. Speak to Stiltzkin and purchase the item set for 666 Gil, which includes a Magic Tag, Tent, and Ether. This purchase contributes to the Driving the Hard Bargain trophy/achievement.
  8. 8
    Heal using a Tent, save your game, and proceed left. Equip the Stardust Rod if Dagger does not have Float.
  9. 9
    Prepare for the boss battle against Hilgigars.
  10. 10
    After defeating Hilgigars, inspect the pedestal nearby to obtain the Yellow Stone.
  11. 11
    Continue right and take the lower root to find a chest with an Ether and a pedestal with the Green Stone.
  12. 12
    Return to the split path after the Hilgigars fight and take the upper path to return to the world map.
  13. 13
    Go back to the screen where Suzuna was located. Use the large pedestal to place all collected stones (Blue, Red, Yellow, Green) to receive the Moonstone.
  14. 14
    The upper path from the split after the Hilgigars fight leads back to the world map, with Eiko's home as the next destination.
Tips
  • Equip Eiko with proper gear, prioritizing passive abilities like Ability Up.
  • The Stardust Rod is useful for casting Float, which negates Hilgigars' Earthquake attack.
  • Hilgigars is susceptible to Slow and Silence. Silence prevents him from using Curaga.
  • Vivi's Bio spell is effective against Hilgigars if you have the Oak Staff.
  • Stealing from Hilgigars has a low chance of yielding the Fairy Flute, which teaches Esuna, Haste, and Regen. Focus on stealing with Zidane while others survive and deal damage.
  • Purchasing all item sets from Stiltzkin is necessary for the Driving the Hard Bargain trophy/achievement.
  • Moonstone (after placing all four colored stones on the pedestal).
  • Oglop Card (optional, by capturing an Oglop and returning it to Bryan Rootrunner).
  • Magic Tag, Tent, Ether (from Stiltzkin's item set).
