Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the entrance, head straight to find stairs. To the right of the stairs is a chest containing a Remedy. At the top of the stairs, another chest holds a Rising Sun.
  2. 2
    To the left of the previous chest, enter a small room. Open the chest behind the blue orb for an Elixir. Interact with the blue orb to change its color to red.
  3. 3
    Return to the previous room and take the exit on the right to a large room with two moogles: a normal one (Mooel) and the traveling Stiltzkin.
  4. 4
    Purchase the item set from Stiltzkin for 888 Gil, which includes a Hi-Potion, an Emerald, and an Elixir.
  5. 5
    Speak to Mooel and give him the letter from Mimoza.
  6. 6
    Head to the right side of the screen and open the chest at the top for a Gaia Gear.
  7. 7
    Double back to the entrance (after passing through the double doors) and enter the doorway on the left.
  8. 8
    In this room, find a chest in the lower right containing a Diamond Sword and another chest at the top (requiring you to go around the left side) containing a Shield Armor. A short scene will play as you go around for the Shield Armor.
  9. 9
    Find the stairs in the bottom left and take them to a room with yellow lights and more chests.
  10. 10
    The first chest is in the lower right corner (Power Vest), and the second is in the top section (Feather Boots).
  11. 11
    Interact with the yellow lights in this order: Starting at the top, go left, then right. At the bottom, go right first, then left.
  12. 12
    Return to the top portion of the room and use the stairs on the left side to proceed.
  13. 13
    Continue until you reach a small platform with a large orb in the middle. Inspect it for a scene.
  14. 14
    Carry on into the room with the first hologram. A locked door will open as you approach, leading to a large room with faces on the wall.
  15. 15
    After the scene, retreat to the room with the moogles to heal and save.
  16. 16
    Prepare for the boss fight: equip the Clear Headed ability to prevent Confusion and equip items that reduce wind damage (e.g., Gauntlets for Steiner or Freya, Gold Chokers for others).
  17. 17
    Approach the central structure from the south for a scene, then take the exit on the right.
  18. 18
    Take the elevator down to a small room and inspect the central object to initiate the battle with Ark.
  19. 19
    After defeating Ark, return to the pedestal and collect the Gulug Stone from the receptacle. The game will switch to the other party members in the Desert Palace.
Tips
  • If you brought physical attackers to Oeilvert, Freya's Reis’s Wind can provide Regen, and Amarant's Chakra can heal a single character.
  • Ark's Photon attack reduces a character's HP to 1; be ready with healing items or abilities.
  • Ark's Whirlwind attack deals wind damage and casts Float, increasing subsequent wind damage taken.
  • Ark's Boomerang attack deals moderate physical damage to the entire party.
  • Zidane can steal an Elixir, Power Vest, and a Holy Lance from Ark.
  • With Clear Headed and wind protection, the battle against Ark should be manageable.
