Guide your soldiers and defend Alexandria in Final Fantasy IX! Learn the correct orders to receive the Angel Earrings and strategies for Steiner and Beatrix.

Well, things aren’t looking so hot for Alexandria right now, so Dagger gathers up the soldiers to help defend the city. When you finally regain control, you will have to give orders to each of the soldiers. If you give them all the correct orders, then you will receive a nice accessory. Here are the following orders to give each of the soldiers:

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Give Orders to Soldiers: You'll start by controlling Dagger. You need to issue orders to pairs of soldiers to defend the city. The correct orders are:
    • Gather information: Blutzen and Kohel
  2. 2
    Protect the townspeople: Weimar and Haagen
  3. 3
    Contact Lindblum: Breireicht and Laudo
  4. 4
    Fire the cannons: Dojebon and Mullenkedheim
  5. 5
    Receive Your Reward: If you give all the soldiers the correct orders, you'll be rewarded with a pair of Angel Earrings.
  6. 6
    Control Steiner and Beatrix: The game will then switch to Steiner and Beatrix. Take this time to equip Steiner with any gear you've accumulated. It's also a good idea to take the Cross Helm from Beatrix, as she'll only be with you for a short time.
  7. 7
    Head South: Make your way south to encounter a Mistodon. This enemy should be an easy fight.
  8. 8
    Continue South: Proceed south into the next area and defeat another Mistodon. Keep following the path, as you'll face more of these enemies.
  9. 9
    Steiner's Trance: You'll eventually reach a battle where Steiner automatically enters Trance. This is the final battle in this segment. Remember that Beatrix can use White Magic like Cura to heal your party, so rely on her to conserve your items.
  10. 10
    Return to Dagger: After the battle where Steiner Trances, control will switch back to Dagger inside the castle.
  11. 11
    Navigate the Castle: The bottom exits are blocked by a force field. You must go upstairs. Take the exit at the bottom of the screen, then continue up the next set of stairs to your left. Keep heading north, and in the large hall, take the exit on your left.
Tips
  • Beatrix's White Magic, especially Cura, can be invaluable for healing during the battles with Steiner, saving you precious item usage.
  • Don't hesitate to equip Steiner with the best gear you have, and consider taking Beatrix's Cross Helm since she's a temporary party member.
  • Angel Earrings (if all soldier orders are correct)
