Four Shrines

You’ll need to attack all four shrines at once so you’ll have to split into pairs. First go to the Water Shrine, which is in the area south of Ipsen’s Castle. Here you’ll drop off Dagger & Eiko.

Now fly to the Lost Continent. The Fire Shrine is at the volcano on the north-eastern part of the continent. You’ll drop off Freya and Amarant here.

The Wind Shrine is on the south-eastern part of the continent. Zidane has assigned Vivi and Steiner to this shrine.

Finally, before taking on the Earth Shrine, take the time to prepare yourself and save your game. The shrine is on the Eastern part of the Outer Continent, west of Kuja’s Palace.

When you’re ready, enter the shrine with the circle button. You’ll get brief glimpses of how the others are faring.

After entering, go down the stairs. You’ll spring a trap and you’ll need to hit the X button when the “!” appears.

When you get to the main room examine the alter to trigger the shrine guardians. The only one you’ll fight is the Earth Guardian.

Start this battle out with Zidane and Quina equipped with Gaia Gear to absorb Earth damage. It’s also beneficial to have Auto-Float on. You might consider equipping Auto-Regen as well. Make sure to equip Bandit on Zidane and Master Thief if you have it. Have Zidane steal from the boss and use Quina’s Mighty Guard. When Zidane trances use his Grand Lethal and use Quina’s strongest offensive blue magic.
