After waking up back in Balamb Garden, head to the bridge and pilot the garden to Edea's House which is the orphanage on the west end of the southern continent that you were trying to get to just before the battle with Galbadia Garden. Inside, talk with Cid and Edea. Return to the Garden. You can find the Weapons Mon Jul lying on the ground in the Training Center at this point. When you're ready, go visit Rinoa in the infirmary. After you see her, you'll enter the dream world again.

As Laguna you'll fight a dragon in a mini-game. Attack unless the dragon makes a quick recovery, then block. After you run away, Kiros will join you as the dragon attacks again. You can choose to wait a sec and go left to save and junction your characters. Go back right to battle the Ruby Dragon.

You wake up as Squall in the infirmary. When you're ready, leave the garden and go back to the Edea's House. Speak to Edea again and she will tell you where to find the White SeeD ship. She also gives you the Sorceress' Letter to give to them when you find it.

Locate the White ship by sailing around the inlets of the Centra continent, just north of Edea's House. Explore the ship to have a reunion with Watts and Zone. Go to the steering room and speak to Zone 3 times and he'll ask about the Girl Next Door magazine. If you give it to him for free and he'll give you a Rename Card and the Shiva card. Go down below deck to give the Leader the Sorceress' Letter and learn that Ellone is no longer aboard.

Go to Fishermans Horizon. When you reach the end of the bridge, your companions will be waiting and Edea will join you as a playable character. After leaving the tracks, go east into the blue-white area.

Head north. You can climb up the dinosaur head to find Meteor and Thundaga DPs. Jump down and keep going north. At the cliff go right to find a save point, then left to battle Abadon. On the next screen, examine the flickering in the air to reveal a doorway. Climb to it to enter a mysterious building. Ride the transportation platforms into Esthar.

When you arrive, you'll enter the dream world again. As Laguna talk to the guards and other workers. Eventually you'll have to fight a Esthar Soldier (Human). Ward and Kiros join you for the next battle with 2 Esthar Soldier (Human)s and a Gesper.

Ride the elevator up and then leave through the exit on the right. After a conversation with the guys outside, go back in. Weapons Mon 1st will be laying on the floor. Ride the elevator back down to find Dr. Odine. You'll be attacked by 2 Esthar Soldier (Human)s and an Elastoid. Follow Dr. Odine up and out of the lab to find out that Ellone is in his personal laboratory.

The car will take you to Dr. Odine's Laboratory. Inside, 2 more Esthar Soldier (Human)s will attack. Examine the seat in the middle of the floor to get a ride up to the 2nd floor. Inside the next room, defeat 2 more Esthar Soldier (Human). Examine the control panel to unlock the door downstairs. Go back down and through it to rescue Ellone.

Waking up as Squall, a car shows up and takes you to the Presidential Palace. Dr. Odine will take care of Rinoa and the rest of you will be free to move about the city. Go to the Airstation and speak with the people hanging out outside it. Return to the Presidential Palace and speak to the Presidential Aide. He'll drop Occult Fan IV when he walks away. Find a lone Esthar Soldier standing on the highest pathway and speak to him. You'll have to return to speak to him again after visiting the Lunar Gate.

When you're ready, leave the city. You can visit Tear's Point southeast of the city to find the Solomon Ring. The Lunar Gate is directly east of Esthar city. After entering, speak to the personel inside and answer that you'll do whatever it takes and that you trust Zell. Choose a final team member for the trip and then get in the loading shaft. Return to Esthar City with Zell and the rest of your teammates.

First, go speak with the lone Esthar soldier again. When he leaves, he'll give you Combat King 004. Go to Dr. Odine's Laboratory now, the guard will let you in. Ride up to the 2nd floor and speak with Dr. Odine. He will inform you of the 3 points that you'll be able to intercept Lunatic Pandora. When you exit the lab, you'll have 20 minutes to meet it at 1 of the 3 points.

When you encounter it, you'll have to beat a G-Soldier and an Elite Soldier before you can board it. Once aboard, go up the stairs and take the blue elevator. Keep going until the the fork, then turn left. When you come to the red elevator, go down the stairs at the bottom right. At the bottom of the ladder, search the right alcove to find a LuvLuvG.

Go left to find 3 doorways. Search inside each for a Power Generator, Silence DP, and Phoenix Pinion. The next screen has a copy of Combat King 005 lying on the ground. In the far back hidden on the left is a Ultima DP.

Go back to the red elevator and take it back to the lobby. Take the green elevator this time where you'll find a Holy DP and a Spd-J Scroll in a hidden alcove on the left. Continue up past the save point and continue north where you'll be ejected from Lunatic Pandora.

As Squall aboard the space station, speak to the Piet and then take Rinoa to the Medical Room. Follow Piet to the Control Room. Examine the monitor near your teammate then speak to Piet again. If you answer no, he'll tell you where she is. Leave and go visit her on the 2nd floor. After speaking with her, head back towards the Medical Room.

Before you get there Rinoa emerges, under some kind of spell. Follow her to the control room where you'll be unable to stop her from deactivating the 1st seal. Examine the control panel afterward then leave the head to the 2nd floor to witness the Lunar Cry. Go to the Locker Room just behind you and get into a space suit. Leave through the airlock and follow Rinoa. When the outer airlock door closes, go back inside and head back to the Control Room. Speak to Piet then follow everyone to the escape pods. Talk to Ellone then get in your pod.

Several scenes later, Squall exits the pod to rescue Rinoa. Hold down [O] and position the screen so that her body is centered before the timer runs out. Once you board the Ragnarok, you'll have to defeat a series of monsters. There are 8 of them, paired up in 4 colors: Propagator (Green), Propagator (Red), Propagator (Purple) and Propagator (Yellow). You must defeat them in pairs, killing both of the same color before moving on to the next. After all 8 are dead, use the elevator to access the cockpit.

After you land, Rinoa will be taken away. Go back inside to the Passenger Deck where you'll reunite with the rest of your teammates. Selphie will start piloting the Ragnarok without warning. Steer it to the Sorceress Memorial building near Esthar. Land and go inside to take back Rinoa.

With Rinoa in your party, go back to Edea's House. Follow Angelo left to the field of flowers. Talk to her there until Zell barges in to tell you to return to Esthar. Go there and visit the Presidential Palace. You'll finally be allowed into the president's Office where the plan to stop Ultimecia will be revealed.

Fly the Ragnarok into the Lunatic Pandor hovering above Tears Point. As soon as you get off, you'll have to fight Fujin (II) and Raijin (II). After beating them up, head inside past Biggs and Wedge (you won't have to fight them this time) until you come to the number 2 elevator. Ride it down to the main level and then take the number 1 elevator up.

Head north until you run into Raijin and Fujin again. This time, you'll have to battle Mobile Type 8 along with Left Probe and Right Probe. In the next room, you'll fight Seifer (IV). If you have acquired Odin, he will show up at the beginning of the battle and be defeated, but after the battle has gone on for a while, Gilgamesh will show up and defeat Seifer. From now on, Gilgamesh will show up randomly in battles instead of Odin.
