Madain Sari
Well-hidden Tent
 

   Travel northeast to the rocky outcropping. This is Madain Sari, the ancient Summoner village. Eiko's Moogle associates appear when you enter, and the party heads to the fountain to chat. Eventually, they all leave; activate the VIVI A.T.E. that pops up. Talk to Garnet, then search behind the fountain for the Libra Zodiac Coin. There's also a Tent hidden in the rocks on the rights ide of the foreground.

   On the next screen to the left, VIVI waddles out of the building and chats with Zidane, and a Garnet A.T.E. follows. Try to enter the building that VIVI just came out of and a Moogle (Molson) will block your path. An Eiko A.T.E. is trigged; in this event, Eiko has to select two of three Moogle henchmen (Timomo, Mochi, and Mooner); it's not quite clear how your choices affect anything.

   After the Eiko A.T.E., go back to the fountain scene and head northeast up the steps. Talk to the Moogle guard and Quina shows up and jumps in the water. Go back and talk to Molson. You still won't be able to get by, but a baby Moogle comes out. Head east one screen and there's a second Eiko A.T.E. In this one, Eiko and the Moogles are fishing; you can set some quantity (no clue what this does, sorry). They end up fishing Quina out of the water.

 Molson
And on the right we have the Sacred Beast shrine...

   Talk to Moku again, then return to the entrance. Garnet is here; speak with her and she'll join. Return to the fountain plaza (just to the north) and talk with the Moogle, who's now wandering this area. Now go to the upper-right again; Molson is now the guard here. Talk with him and you'll be able to get into the Sacred Beast shrine. Molson talks about the Beasts. When the scene concludes, leave the shrine and there's a final A.T.E. with Eiko.

   Head back to Eiko's building and talk to the baby Moogle outside. He'll finally let you in, and the party sits down to eat. Afterwards, pick up the big pot from the table and carry it outside to the left. Give it to Eiko. Then check the left side of the screen for Columbian Coffee. Go back inside search the right-hand corner of the screen (where the pot was) for a healing stone. Try to go exit to the right and a Moogle will enter. Choose the first option to rest. After a bunch of dialogue, you end up on the world map again.

   Before you head to Iifa, you'll probably want to go back inside Madain Sari. There's a Moogle waiting just inside who sells items; you can upgrade Eiko's gear here. Also, if you go back to the dining room, there's now an inn (courtesy of the Moogle there) and a Phoenix Pinion in the spot where Garnet was standing.
