Intro | Disc 1 Blue Dragon Guide

When you first take control over Shu, go left and head down the path. You'll see a title screen and an intro. When you control Fushiro, talk to Jiro's parents (they're right on the balcony in front of you). Another cutscene will commence.

After a while you'll be controlling Shu again. Approach the land shark. When you fight it, don't worry about the damage you take. Strike the monster twice using your standard blow and when Jiro points a weak spot for you, hit it. After another scene talk to Kluke and go towards the shark to fight it again. When it's trapped, approach the net. You'll wake up in some underground ruins.

Turn around and go to Jiro and Kluke. You have to eliminate all the Poo Snakes in the vicinity. It's good to start getting accustomed to back-attacking. To do so, sneak past the enemy and attack him from the back (by pressing X). Look around the area. There's a Stone Necklace in one of the chests. Remember to search through all the machine parts, they will grant you some gold.

If you carefully search this area, you will find a Medal (ledge to the east), and a Stone Bracelet (ledge to the west). Make Shu equip the latter. When you deal with all the snakes, another chest will appear. Take the Phoenix Talon from it (it lets you revive KO'd characters). Another cut-scene under way.
