  • Mini-Brahne (obtained by checking the desk in the Mayor's house in Dali three times).
  • Mayor's Key (obtained by checking the Heater in the Mayor's house in Dali after the kid is asleep).
  • Burman Coffee (the third and final one needed for the Rare Coffees side quest).
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the world map, head west of Treno and pass through the South Gate to reach Dali.
  2. 2
    Go to the back of Dali and enter the windmill.
  3. 3
    Enter the Mayor's house via the exit in the bottom left.
  4. 4
    Check the Desk in the Mayor's house to find a Mini-Brahne. Repeat this twice more.
  5. 5
    Once the kid is asleep (indicated by Zzz), check the Heater to receive the Mayor’s Key.
  6. 6
    Leave the Mayor's house to return to the windmill.
  7. 7
    Climb the ladder and open the chest to find a Cachusha.
  8. 8
    From the plank near the ladder, access the southern end of the top of the windmill and open the chest for an Elixir.
  9. 9
    Go back down the ladder and use the Mayor’s Key to open the door in the back of the windmill room.
  10. 10
    In the enclosed area with a chocobo, search the right side to find 30,000 Gil.
  11. 11
    Interact with the area again to find Burman Coffee under the chest.
  12. 12
    Leave Dali and visit Observatory Mountain.
  13. 13
    Talk to Morrid outside by the stairs and offer him the coffee beans to receive the Mini Prima-Vista, which will be sent to the Tantalus hideout in Lindblum. This action unlocks the My Little Airship trophy/achievement.
  14. 14
    Return to Treno.
  15. 15
    Visit the auction house. New items include Feather Boots and Anklet (if not in your inventory), Dark Matter (for around 19,000 Gil, teaches Odin summon), and Rat Tail (for around 17,000 Gil).
  16. 16
    Sell the Rat Tail to the Adventurer near the Bishop’s House for 25,000 Gil after refusing his first offer.
  17. 17
    Head south from the moogle to find the Card Stadium and register for the tournament.
  18. 18
    Win the first round of the tournament. An ATE called Good Old Days will play; choose “I’m interested.”
  19. 19
    Watch the ATE Lessons of Life. If you viewed the Home Sweet Home ATE earlier, you may need to visit a different area for it to trigger again.
  20. 20
    Save your game and return to the stadium for the second round. Your opponent may vary based on a previous ATE choice. If Vivi stayed in Treno, your opponent is Mario and you can obtain the Namingway Card.
  21. 21
    Win the second round. Upon exiting, choose between the ATEs Hallucination and Premonition. View both by switching screens.
  22. 22
    Save your game and return to the stadium for the final match against the champion.
  23. 23
    Win the tournament to receive a Rebirth Ring, which teaches the Auto-Life skill.
Tips
  • Before leaving Dali, consider buying 99 Wrists from the shop for the Cotton Robe trick.
  • The Dark Matter from the auction is the only way to obtain it outside of the game’s superboss.
  • The Rat Tail is a seemingly useless item that can be sold for a significant profit.
  • When playing Tetra Master, be mindful of card placement to avoid leaving powerful cards vulnerable.
  • Save your game before the final Card Tournament match, as you only have one chance to win.
