ITEMS TO GET: None

   Following the opening credits, you take control of Zidane in the dark hold of the Prima Vista. Move forward (and a little to the left) to find the lamp. When you approach it, a question mark will appear over Zidane's head; hit Circle and you'll be given two choices. Pick the top one to light the lamp. At this point you'll be given a chance to rename Zidane; Zidane's cohorts -- Frank (the one with the red hair), Shina (the fat guy in the white chef's cap), and Marcus (the one in the bandanna) -- enter. The four are attacked by a "dragon," and the first battle ensues.

   All four character possess the Steal command (it's the second in the menu); you can use this to steal a Wrist and a Potion from the dragon. Do so, then just pound on it with regular attacks. Don't bother with Zidane's Flee ability (listed under the third command in his menu); its only purpose is to help you escape from battle, and you can't run from this fight.

   When the "dragon" is defeated, the costume breaks apart to reveal Baku, the leader of Tantalus. Baku calls a meeting and outlines the bandits' plan to rescue Princess Garnet. Select the bottom option to proceed; the top one just recycles the question.
