Castle Baron
Your first stop is Castle Baron to upgrade your airship.
Talk to one of Cid’s boys inside the castle to install the hook attachment.
Follow the map below:

Cave of Eblan
- Fly your airship to Mount Hobs.
- Hover above the Hovercraft and press X to hook it.
- Fly to the Eblan Castle region and drop the Hovercraft.
- Use the Hovercraft to reach the cave to the west.
- Buy a Black Robe for Rydia — it gives her a solid defensive boost.
