Mines of Narshe
Party: Vicks, Wedge, ?????(Terra)
Upon entering Narshe,you make your way through the seemingly deserted town fighting a few easy guards.
Eventually make your way up(just walk straight up)to the caves in which you can save and cure up if neccesary.
BOSS: Whelk
Whelk is your typical easy first boss of the game.Have Vicks and Wedge use bolt beam once each while you have ???? use tecmissile.
At this time Whelk will hide in his shell.Do not attack him.Just cure up if you need to and wait.Once he reappears repeat the same attacks and it is over.
After fighting Whelk you come to the frozen Esper. You'll go into
a fight sequence where Vicks and Wedge get blown away leaving Terra.
Arvis' House
Items: Search the clock just up from the door for an Elixir.
Terra wakes up back in Narshe where a man removes the slave crown.
Terra can't remember anything. The Imperial guards come and Terra
is forced to escape thru the back door of the house and run back to
the mines.
Mines
Party: Terra, Locke
Chests: Fenix Down, Sleeping Bag
(if you wait until the World of Ruin to get these, they'll
have changed to a Pod Bracelet and an Elixir)
BOSS: Marshal
Additional items: You can take Mog's Mithril Shld and Mithril Pike
After entering the mines, Terra walks a little ways and is spotted
by the guards. She is cornered and the floor gives out and she
falls. There is a flashback where Terra remembers some stuff. The
scene shifts back to Arvis' House where Locke is introduced. Locke
finds Terra and the guards find them both. Moogles come and offer
to help. Three Moogles (Kupek, Kupop, Kumama) form a group with
Locke plus there are two other groups with four Moogles each (Mog,
Kuku, Kutan, Kupan and Kushu, Kurin, Kuru, Kamog). You can control
each of the groups, the object is to stop the guards from reaching
Terra and defeating the commander. Before defeating the commander
switch to the party Mog is in and remove his shield and pike (Locke
can use the shield and the pike can be used by Edgar who you'll get
shortly), after all Mog won't be needing them for quite a while and
by then you'll be able to equip him with other stuff.Have Mog's group fight ONE battle and after that let the other two groups do the rest.
After the other two groups have defeated the lobos etc(each battle you will have to inflict only a total of three hits for each minor battle to be won)
have Mog's group fight the marshal.Immediatly have Mog do his dance "Dusk Requium" the other moogles should easily be able to take care
of the two lobos so then they can concentrate their attacks on the Marshal.
After defeating the commander, Locke grabs Terra and takes off through the mines. He
comes to a switch and pulls it, opening a secret passage. Remember
where this passage is, you'll need it later. You are now on the outskirts
Narshe. You can't enter the main part of town but you can enter the
classroom.

After heading south from Narshe, you come to the desert castle of

room. Here Edgar is introduced. You are now free to explore the
castle. If you talk to the Matron (in the left tower) she will tell
you about Sabin, who you'll meet later. After talking the Matron
return to the throne room and talk to Edgar again. One of Edgar's
guards comes in and informs him that Kefka is approaching the castle.
As Edgar, talk to Kefka's guards and then Kefka himself. After they're
done talking walk up to where Locke is waiting. Edgar decides to
protect Terra. Now, as Terra, follow Locke to 'your' room.In the right tower. Kefka
comes back and sets fire to Figaro. Talk to the guards (Beavis and
Butthead ?) and then talk to Kefka. Go up and talk to the guard there.
Your party escapes and Figaro enters submerge mode. After fighting
the M-TekArmor, go south to the Cave of Figaro. If Terra uses
