Nalbina Dungeons

In this first room its is best if you have a look around and pick up any treasure urns you can find as you have no items or equipment, all the treasure urns contain a Knot of Rust. There is nothing else to do here except listen to NPC's who are inmates and will offer no more than a conversation, so head to the save crystal and into the next area

After the cutscene you are forced into a fight with 3 Seeqs called Gwitch, Galeedo and Daguza.

You have Balthier on your side, as well as being able to use Fire Magick and the Knots of Rust you picked up in the previous room. If you feel confident enough that you can survive, use steal with Vaan to get a few Items off the Bangaas.

After the cutscene you will be next to a save crystal and a room with 3 Treasure Urns. DO NOT TOUCH the treasure urn that is in front of you as you will not be able to get the Zodiac Spear Take the ones on the left and the right of the room, although we suggest not opening any of these chests if you are unsure, as we dont wan't you to open the wrong one. You will also have your equipment back. Head to the next room.

There are two ways to deal with this next part, the first is doing it the way Balthier suggests and avoiding any unnecessary fights while passing through, by staying out of the imperials way. You can check the route by looking at the Mini-Map in the top right hand. The other way is to tackle the enemies head on to gain LP and EXP. This is quite challenging because as one enemy is alerted, all the other enemies will swarm to help and you will have to deal with a lot of them.

If you choose not to fight start by heading north and keep to the east wall, go slowly as you are able and don't be afraid to pause or double back if you see a guard heading your way. when you get to the end of this wall head west and you'll end up in the northwest area of the map. Now your need to get the oblong shaped part in the middle of the map. After a short cutscene proceed down the stairs ahead to trigger another cutscene.
