Fossil Roo

Head to Qu’s Marsh, North of Dragon’s Gate. You’ll catch up with Quina at the frog pond, bringing your party back up to 4. Go up to Quale’s house and enter the brush to the right. Quina leads you to the entrance of the excavation site. Once you’ve entered and started through a mechanical creature called the Armodullahan starts chasing you.

To avoid fighting this enemy excessively (since he casts Death on your characters) cross the pendulum areas like so. In the first section cross along the upper area. In the second section cross along the lower area. And cross along the upper area on the last section.

After this you’ll immediately go into a battle with Lani, Brahne’s bounty hunter.

It’s extremely easy to steal from Lani so have Zidane steal until you’ve got all the items then let Lani have it. Dagger should cast Shell and Protect on herself since she’s the object of most of Lani’s attacks. If you get downtime for Dagger have her summon Ramuh. Vivi should cast any second level spells.

After the fight go downstairs. Here go the left and pick a flower. Stand near the center of the tunnel and call the gargant.

You’ll get dropped off in a new area. Go up from here. The treasure hunter here will kind of explain the tunnel and gargant system. Now go down the stairs. Stiltzkin’s here along with Mogki the moogle. He’ll have a letter from Kuppo who’s hidden away somewhere. Keep that in mine. Mogki also runs a small Mogshop.

Now go down to the right. Call the gargant and ride along Switch 2’s path to a new area. Run north from here to find a chest with Fairy Earrings. Now ride the gargant back. Go and take the path up from the hunter’s location. Call the gargant here to enter a new area.

Go right here and flip switch 1. Now board the gargant. Climb the steps here and follow the path up to a chest containing an Ether. Now go back and take the lower path; follow it through the next screen and out the left. Here flip switch 2.

Go back and ride the gargant to switch 1. Flip it again and ride back to the crossroads area. Save your game and go out the bottom right exit. Call the gargant and you’ll ride to a new area.

You can purchase items and equipment from the treasure hunter here. Now climb the stairs here. You’ll find switch 4. Flip it and go to the right. Call the gargant. Go to the right in this new area and open the chest for a Lamia’s Tiara. Now go back, flip switch 4 and ride the gargant again. Take the path to the right and you’ll come to an area with a wall of vines. You’ll need to climb across the wall to the upper right. However if you don’t climb directly underneath the masks spouts of water will knock you off the wall.

When you get across you’ll be in an area with another treasure hunter. He’ll let you dig for a Potion as his price. Once you’ve got the pick go along the upper bridge and around to the back wall. Attack the wall with the pick several times. Eventually the moogle Kuppo will fall out of the wall. He runs a mogshop and will also have a letter for Kupo he’d like you to deliver. When you’re ready exit out the right.

In this storage area search on the left for a Survival Vest. Now go back to the vine wall and climb up to the top left ledge. Flip the switch and go out the bottom right. Call the gargant and ride to the final cave. Go right to exit Fossil Roo.
