Now, they will start working on some of the hunts available at this point. The party resumes at Southgate in Rabanastre. Vaan picks up a Gambit Slot for 40 LP, another for 50 LP, and another for 70 LP. Balthier picks up a Gambit Slot for 50 LP, another for 70 LP, and another for 100 LP. Fran picks up a Gambit Slot for 50 LP, another for 70 LP, and another for 100 LP. Basch picks up a Gambit Slot for 50 LP, another for 70 LP, and another for 100 LP. Ashe picks up a Gambit Slot for 100 LP, another for 35 LP, and another for 40 LP. Penelo picks up a Gambit Slot for 50 LP, another for 70 LP, and another for 100 LP. Everyone now has all twelve Gambit slots. Balthier and Fran prepare Gambits to cast Curaga on undead enemies. Balthier sets up one to cast Dispel on enemies with Reflect. Balthier and Fran also prepare Gambits to cast Curaga on hurting allies. The only problem with Curaga is that it is single-targeting. Penelo prepares a Gambit to cast Blizzara on ice-vulnerable enemies. Fran sets up a gambit to cast Decoy on Vaan as a potential tank, but she does not activate it yet. The party uses the Rabanastre Crystal to teleport to Mt Bur-Omisace (time 4:29). They visit the western Traveling Merchant in the Sand-strewn Pass (time 4:48). They get Vaan the lightning-elemental Storm Spear for 5,600 gil. Under Uhlan, Vaan picks up Spears 3 for 35 LP. Vaan also picks up Accessories 9 for 30 LP so he can equip the Black Belt. Balthier picks up Accessories 8 for 45 LP, Accessories 9 for 30 LP, and Accessories 10 for 40 LP. Fran picks up Accessories 9 for 30 LP. Basch, Ashe, and Penelo already have Accessories 9. The party uses the Bur-Omisace Crystal to teleport back to Rabanastre (time 6:32). At the Clan Hall in the North End, the party talks to Montblanc (time 7:34). For defeating the Elder Wyrm in Golmore Jungle, the party earns 800 gil. For defeating Tiamat in Henne Mines, they earn 900 gil. Reviewing Montblanc's hunt list, they find a few available: Orthros, Rank V; Gil Snapper, Rank III; Trickster, Rank V; and Antlion, Rank V. The party reads Priority Petition No. 4 for the Gil Snapper, Rank III. This starts the hunt "Paradise Risen". The petitioner is Nanau at the Crystal Glade in Giza Plains during the Rains. Another clan member, Bansat, will help them with the hunt. The party heads south to Throne Road in Giza Plains during the Rains (time 10:09). To get to the Gil Snapper's lair, the party must cut down the six Withered Trees around Giza Plains. The trees will collect at Gizas South Bank and form a bridge to the Tracks of the Beast. First, they head east to Gizas North Bank (time 10:52). In the northeast of Gizas North Bank, the party cuts down their first Withered Tree (time 11:05). The party returns west to the Throne Road (time 11:34). In the south of Throne Road, they cut down their second Withered Tree on the western side (time 11:58). The party goes south to the Nomad Village (time 12:18). In the southeast of the village, they cut down their third Withered Tree (time 12:31). The party continues west to Toam Hills (time 12:56). They cut down their fourth Withered Tree in the southeast of Toam Hills (time 13:51). The party exits south to Starfall Field (time 14:15). In the northeast, they cut down their fifth Withered Tree (time 14:27). They exit east to the Crystal Glade (time 15:52). There, they talk to their petitioner, Nanau, and her brother, Roaklo (time 16:10). They accept the hunt for the Gil Snapper. Nanau and Roaklo gives the party the Silent Urn to entrap the Gil Snapper's soul. The Gil Snapper will be in the Tracks of the Beast to the east during heavy rains. The party also cuts down their sixth Withered Tree in the Crystal Glade (time 18:46). A chime indicates that they have solved the puzzle. The party switches their lineup to Vaan, Fran, and Penelo. Fran puts Shell on the party, while Larsa gives them Bubble. The active party puts on Black Belts to prevent Disable, while the others put on Golden Amulets. Vaan equips the Storm Spear. The party refreshes their HP and MP at the save crystal. The party heads east to the Gizas South Bank (time 21:06). The description is continued in the comments.
