06. Antlion Cave

Re-equip Edward with the equipment you have in your inventory.
Head east then north; you'll see shallow water with rocks that can be crossed using your Hovercraft.
Across the riverbank is the Antlion Cave.

Note: Edward has 3 abilities: Sing, Heal, and Hide. Sing casts an ailment status based on the Harp he is using, while Heal heals all party members using a Potion (so watch out for the number of Potions in your inventory). Hide makes him hide from battle.

Bestiary Checklist:

Boss: Antlion

Antlion counters any physical attack with Counter Horn, which deals decent damage.
Rydia summons Chocobo, Cecil attacks normally, while Edward should use Hide.

Kaipo - Deliver Sand Ruby

Head back to Damcyan Castle. From there, head west following the coastline; you'll see a Hovercraft path leading all the way down to the Kaipo desert area.

  1. Once you reach Kaipo, deliver the Sand Ruby to the northeast house where Rosa is staying.
  2. Interact with Rosa and choose Sand Ruby.
  3. After the cutscene, you'll have to fight a monster with Edward alone.

Boss: Sahagin

Not really a boss, and the fight is super easy.

By default, Rosa will be set to the front row, so you should move her to the back:

  1. "Inventory -> Order -> select on Rosa twice".
  2. Move Cecil to the 2nd slot (swap with Rydia).
  3. Move Edward to the 5th slot.

Don't forget to equip Crossbow and Holy Arrow on Rosa; it'll be useful in our next dungeon.
