    After the scene in the throne room, exit and view the My Hammer ATE. Take the elevator to the Mid Level and ride the air cab to the Business District.
  2. 2
    Enter the inn across from the air cab station, go upstairs, and give a letter to the moogle, Moodon.

  4. 4
    Enter the house on the northern edge of the area to find chests containing a Remedy and an Elixir.
  5. 5
    Return outside and go to the screen with the shops. Speak to Alice, the item shop proprietor, and ask about the potion to receive the Beautiful Potion.
  6. 6
    Leave the Business District and head to the Theater District via the air cab.
  7. 7
    After arriving, head to the next screen and watch the scene with Kal and Wei, which triggers the automatic ATE called The Rally.

    Find the artist’s studio in the bottom right and go inside. Open the chest for a Lapis Lazuli.

    Return to the hideout and loot the three chests for 970 Gil, 1273 Gil, and 4826 Gil.

    Return to the Business District. Before spending money, consider upgrading equipment: the Cypress Pile (Vivi's wand), Mantra Band, and Dark Hat are available.

    Ensure you have less than 50 Gil. Take the air cab back to Lindblum Castle (Upper Level).

    Make sure you have under 50 Gil and return to the Business District (second screen, where the pickle lady is) for a scene. Zidane will give away his money, and Quina will rejoin your party.
  16. 16
    Go back to Lindblum Castle, take the elevator to the Base Level, and ride the trolley to the Serpent’s Gate.
  17. 17
    Follow the path to the dock area and board the ship, the Blue Narciss. This triggers the automatic ATE called Give Me My Money!.
Tips
  • The ATE My Hammer is missable and required for the Movie Critic trophy/achievement. You can work on this now or wait until you pick up more chests later in Lindblum.
  • Before viewing the No Free Lunch ATE, ensure you have less than 50 Gil.
  • The next destination is the Black Mage Village, or you can proceed to The Desert Palace (1) page to continue the main story.
