After defeating every ordinary enemy in Ice Field of Clearsight, leave the area once and return. Mandragora Prince Boss Part A Fire-weak member of the five Mandragoras.

Defeat those three first, use the elemental weaknesses in their buttons, and leave if the group has had time to power itself up. Their Steals and drops are useful, but none is worth losing a long stretch of progress.
Antiquity’s End and Rafflesia
When you get to the save point on the third screen down, Antiquity’s End, BUFF up your characters and save, then head south. You’ll watch a brief cutscene, then you’ll have access to the next area. Go south and prepare for battle with Rafflesia.
Gear: Bowline Sash prevents Confuse . If recovery is already reliable, Bubble Belt gives the healer more room to survive. Avoid Earth damage because Rafflesia absorbs it.Gambits :Phoenix Down Item Revives one KO’d ally with 20% maximum HP before Phoenix Lore and item-effect bonuses.Confuse -> Smelling Salts Item Removes Confuse from one target.Disease -> Vaccine Item Removes Disease from one target.Remedy only clears Disease with Remedy Lore 3 .Magick: Rafflesia begins under Shell , so open with Dispel . It is weak to Wind and can be Silenced, but spend MP early because the battlefield continuously drains it.Reserve party: Make sure the three reserve characters have usable weapons, healing items, and licenses before entering. This route deliberately swaps them in for a second Quickening Chain Battle System A timed sequence of character-specific Quickenings. Use button prompts to add attacks or refill Mist Charges; the attack count here is separate from the enemy-drop Chain system.

Reward 31 LP . Montblanc later awards 1,800 gil from the Garif. Drops None. Strategy Dispel its opening Shell and spend MP before the field drains it. Silence can suppress some of its Magick. Recover Confuse and Disease immediately, defeat summoned Malboros before they crowd the arena, and use Quickenings early if that is your planned damage burst.
You’re going to lose your Magick fast, so use it at the get-go. Cast Dispel, then do Quickening Chains Battle System A timed sequence of character-specific Quickenings. Use button prompts to add attacks or refill Mist Charges; the attack count here is separate from the enemy-drop Chain system.Quickening Chain Battle System A timed sequence of character-specific Quickenings.

As Rafflesia calls in Malboros Enemy A Wind-weak Golmore Jungle enemy; its Malboro Vines unlock Burning Blade and Smelling Salts, &c., so collect four before buying either package.
White Magick’s Embrace
In the next area down, White Magick’s Embrace, follow the left (east) wall. You should find the Feywood Candle Key Item Found in the southeast urn in White Magick's Embrace; it reveals the Feywood's hidden southern sections on the area map, making both glyph routes easier to follow.
Continue following the left wall until you reach Ice Field of Clearsight.
Ice Field of Clearsight
When you get there, look at your now-complete map if you collected both urns. See the areas that look like the back of a sand dollar? There are four of them.
I found it easier to flee to the next one, then fight all the enemies that followed me, rather than trying to find it again after my guys ran off after some enemy and rotated the screen.
The Edge of Reason
When you get to The Edge of Reason, repeat the process. This time there are five structures.
Near the Giruveganus and directly under a trap near Gigas Gate, a chest has a 25% chance to appear. Its special equipment result can be Deathbringer Weapon: Sword A 90-Attack one-handed sword with a 10% chance to inflict instant Death on vulnerable targets. It requires Swords 6 and leaves the off hand free for a shield.Ensanguined Shield Shield A 90-Evade shield that permanently inflicts Poison, Sap, and Slow on its wearer. Use it only for a specialized high-evasion setup that can tolerate or exploit those statuses.X-Potion Item Restores 1,600 HP before Potion Lore and item-effect bonuses.Diamond Armlet Accessory Changes treasure contents when equipped by an active party member; it can improve or worsen a specific original-release chest.
Deathbringer is a strong one-handed sword with a chance to KO its target. Ensanguined Shield has extremely high evasion but permanently inflicts Poison, Sap , and Slow on its wearer, so it is specialized equipment rather than a routine defensive upgrade. Do not grind either unless you have a setup that will actually use it.
The doorway tells you that you have to have the Gigas to get through. That’s Belias, the Gigas , the Esper you obtained in the Tomb of Raithwall. You wouldn’t believe how long it took me to figure that out the first time.
Continue through the opened gate.
