EAST SPUR STAIRS
Use the save crystal. Descend the stairs.
|| HOUR - 2:52 ||
Cut Scene: Balthier says that the people we saw attacking were the rebles trying to assasinate Vayne. However, he was smart enough to know they would attack and drew all the rebles into a trap. Balthier then complains that he soiled himself and needs a change of wardrobe. Follow the lesson on gambits. set up the gambits as follows:
For Vaan: Buy the license for heal if you have not already
Vaan:
[Ally: HP < 70% > Cure]
[Foe: Nearest Visible > Attack]
Balthier –
[Ally: HP < 70% > First Aid],
[Foe: leader’s target > attack]
Fran
[Foe: leader’s target > fire]
[Foe: leader’s target > attack] //placing this second means Fran will automatically use physical attacks when she runs out of MP.
EAST WATERWAY CONTROL
Look along the east wall to pickup a map and eye drops. Work your way south through the sewers.
NO. 11 CHANNEL
Watch out for the toads as they pack a wallop. It is best to pick one off then flee, heal everyone, run around in circles to restore your MP and then go back to get the next one.
EAST SLUICE CONTROL
Use the save crystal here.
Cut Scene: A woman is attacking a series of “bucket heads.” Vaan tell her to jump down. She falls in his arms and they meet eyes, I bet she smells sweet like red/cherry Sanford Mr. Sketch scented markers. The woman joins our party. Fran complains that our party is growing too large – why should she care? Beat back the guards.
Vaan introduces everyone, her name is Amalia, and the music swoons which means there is a crush forming. Amalia indicates that she was leading the group that Vayne trapped and killed. Is Vaan turned on? Because his crotch starts glowing. Oh wait, it is just the crystal he stole. Vaan invites the woman to come along despite the fact that she is super bitchy – I say leave her. Run back up to her. She complains that thieves are guiding her. All of sudden Balthier is all for Amalia joining our party as a “Guest.” Quick mood change?
SOUTHERN SLUICEWAY
Run into the room and we see blobs on the roof and all around us. They are called Flan which is funny if you have ever had the Mexican dessert. 
Fight blobs (named flan): just attack the purple glowing one first because he casts magic to blind your team. If he does blind one of you, use the eye drops. After he is dead, attack the largest Flan. Then work down from there. Screen says CONGRATULATIONS.
CENTRAL WATERWAY CONTROL
The semicircle has a save crystal, use it.
|| HOUR - 3:34 ||
----- BOSS: Firemane (x05a) -----
- Watch for status attacks like poison and use antidote to remove it.
- Turn off any health gambits so that your party will spend more time fighting instead of healing.
- Watch closely and use potions if a part member gets too low on health.
- Keep Amelia in the attack party, and keep her alive, she will automatically revive someone who gets killed in battle.
- Make sure that no one uses a fire based magic because it will refill Firemane’s health.
----- END Firemane -----
Death sequence: it turns into a fireball again and flies off into the rest of the sewer. Guards with crossbows surround the party. Balthier tells Amelia to stand down. Vayne is there and he looks puzzled or probably just worried that the humid sewer air will cause kinks and split ends.
The Dalmascan crowd around them whispers stuff like “what a bunch of thieves” and “they deserve whatever they get.” Ashe is shocked to hear that people think she is a common thief – not in that dress sister. Penelo tries to fight for Vaan’s freedom. Vaan looks over at her, shows her how his hands are stuck in a cinder block and then says “Sorry, that dinner will have to wait.” Whoa! I think I just controlled this cut scene with my mind because that imperial guard just slapped Vaan in the back of the head real hard. Balthier calms Penelo by giving her a security blanket, scratch that, a security handkerchief to hold on to until they get back. Watching from around the corner, two lizards complain that they should be the ones who get to kill Balthier.
Cut Scene: Cut to a light filled window. Vaan enters a small white room with a bed and medical equipment and all of a sudden we are playing E.R. XII. His brother Reks is sitting in a chair and then turns and says “Let’s Rock” (in backwards talk). Vaan gives him Galbana Lilies, there is the symbolism. These were the flowers Vaan picked after the Red and Rotten in the Desert hunt. The flowers were smashed by the incoming Chocobos. My guess is the flowers represent Reks who (like the flowers) grew up in the desert and was trampled by the incoming empire. Reks says nothing. Vaan worries that Reks was part of the king’s assassination. He then thinks that if it was Reks who killed, he was probably brainwashed by Basch Fon Greasy. Reks disintegrates out the window and Vaan holds the ring that was on his brother’s finger. White light floods the screen and the scene ends. At least we didn’t have to see a creepy Michael J. Anderson dance sequence.
