As Zidane, search the cargo outside the ship for a Phoenix Down. Check your equipment and then head into the forest.

You'll meet up with the others as a Prison Cage (1st) monster is trying to kidnap Garnet. Zidane and Steiner attack with Zidane automatically going into Trance. Don't bother stealing yet, just don't let it kill Garnet. It will escape with Garnet. Another Prison Cage (2nd) will show up and grab Vivi. Zidane and Steiner must fight once more. Same fight as before, but don't let Vivi die.

After the battle, Vivi and Steiner will be infected and find themselves back on the Prima Vista. As Zidane, open the treasure chest on the right for a Bronze Gloves. Go downstairs and into Vivi's room on the right. After talking to Vivi search the room for an Ether and 116 gil. After a little talk with Blank, you can open the chest there to find a Wrist. Go left and search for an Ether. Go down the stairs and search the north part of the room for a Rubber Helm. Go south and open the chest for a Leather Hat. Go back and to the right this time and talk to Baku. After talking with him, open the chest for a Potion, then follow him. When you talk to him again, you'll have to fight Baku one on one.

After defeating him, go up to Steiner's room and recruit him to help you find Garnet. Go back into his room to get an Ether from the chest, then go to Vivi's room to convice him to join as well.

Head back into the forest, along the way, you'll find a spring that will restore your HP and MP. A little further and you'll meet the Plant Brain. Blank will join you in the middle of the fight.

After the battle you'll have to run to escape the Plant Spiders.
