Last update: 11 May 2016
At the beginning save the game and get to the places marked on the map.
After few films you will get to the elevator [2] that will take you to the Nautilius Park.
When the another cut scene will be over, turn round and get to the path that is located on the right. You will a chest with Phoenix Down [1] here. Now you can get back and use the main road to get to the park [2].
When you will be there, Shaz will loose his little Chocobo [2]. To find it, follow Vanille.
When you will find him, a chest with Star Pendant will appear.
Pick him up and follow the bird to get to the save point. There, you will have to watch another film. After the cut scene run ahead to meet with some enemy soldiers.
Before the fight it is good to check your Crystarium. If it is possible - upgrade your characters, because you will have to fight in some very difficult battles. In addition you will meet some new opponents - Zwerg Metroids [2]. Defeat them and open the nearby chest that is containing Spica Defenders. These weapon is for Shaz and it will make his buffs to last much longer.
The next chest is guarded by some Zwergs and one Orion. Inside, you will find a Guardian Amulet [1]. Now you can run to the save point. Before you will turn in the direction of marked point, go straight ahead and open the chest with Healer's Staff [2]. This is a very useful item for Vanille if you are using her as a Medic. Save the game and run to your target.
After few seconds, you will have to fight with Midlight Reaper [1]. This is simple boss but you have to be very careful - he has one, very strong attack.
At the beginning of this fight use Libra and change your paradigm to Synergist with Saboteur (he will help you with his buffs).
After the cut scene, you will take control over Sazh. Make few steps and another cut scene will start. Now you have to fight with the third Eidolon - Brynhildr [2].
To win this battle you do not have to stagger hi. The most important thing is to charge the summon bar and to do this the best option is to use two Ravagers at one moment. Of course use your first rounds to buff your team mates and learn something about the enemy (Libra). You have enough time, so it shouldn't be a problem to defeat him. After the battle Sazh will get new section to his ATB bar. He will be able to use this Eidolon too. Now it is time to move to the next chapter of your journey.
