Explore Treno in final fantasy ix, find collectibles like the Gemini Stellazzio, and win the Griffin fight for the Tonberry Card.
Walkthrough
- 1From the entrance of Treno, interact with the fountain on the left side 13 times, tossing in 10 Gil each time, to receive the Gemini Stellazzio.
- 2Go up the stairs on the right, then descend the ladder to the lower section. Open the chest to the left of the item shop to get the Yeti Card, and the chest in the lower right for 1 Gil.
- 3Behind the item shop's tent, by a crate, find the Taurus Stellazzio.
- 4Climb back up the ladder and head north to the next screen. Enter the building on the right.
- 5Speak to the shopkeeper and purchase the Mythril Sword for Steiner (for his Armor Break ability) and potentially a Flame Staff if you didn't get one from Black Waltz 3. Upgrade armor like the Bone Wrist, Bandana, and Chain Mail.
- 6Exit the shop and head north to the King's House (auction place). Search by the window on the left to find 2225 Gil.
- 7Double back to the previous screen, go south to the card stadium, then left to the Bishop's House.
- 8Travel north to the Queen's House. Speak to Queen Stella and hand over the five Stellazzio you've found to receive 8,000 Gil, a Phoenix Pinion, and a Blood Sword.
- 9Return to the Bishop's House, follow the hallway to the end to find the synthesis shop. Purchase the Coral Ring (requires a Lightning Staff and Rod, neither sold in Treno), Gold Choker, and Cachusha (which has Ability Up). Consider the Cotton Robe money trick if you have the necessary items.
Monster Challenge:
- Head to the weapon shop, which also serves as a monster arena.
- Equip Steiner with a Gold Choker and the Blood Sword.
- Speak to the shopkeeper and choose the second option to challenge a monster.
- The first monster is the Griffin, which uses wind attacks. The Gold Choker mitigates wind damage, and the Blood Sword heals you.
- Defeating the Griffin rewards you with the Tonberry Card. If you fail, the character will have 1 HP remaining.
Treno Auction House:
- Go one screen north of the equipment shop to the auction house.
- After the cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically), Dagger will rejoin your party. Equip her with your best gear.
- To find specific items, you can exit and re-enter the auction house to reset the available bids.
- Consider bidding on items that can be sold to NPCs in Treno for a profit: Doga's Artifact (sell on the first offer), Une's Mirror, and Griffin's Heart (negotiate for a second offer).
- The Mini-Cid item is an optional Key Item that can be purchased to remove it from the item pool.
- Other potentially useful items include the Madain's Ring (for Body Temp) and Fairy Earrings (for Body Temp and Level Up). You likely already have a Magician Robe.
Tips
- Tossing coins into the fountain at the entrance is a consistent way to get the Gemini Stellazzio.
- The Blood Sword's healing ability makes the Griffin fight significantly easier.
- Negotiating with NPCs for a second offer on Une's Mirror and Griffin's Heart can yield a higher price than the initial offer.
