Quitting Tantalus

This part opens with marching into the forest and battling the Prison Cage. The starting ATB positions are scripted, so there's nothing you can do about them. Prison Cage will always go before you and will always use the same attacks. In the second battle, I stole the Broadsword before finishing it off with Steiner. (I forgot to mention it until now, but I messed up when naming Steiner. I didn't want to waste my excellent King Leo battle and first try sword fight, so I kept it. On my file, Steiner's name is Steine.)

I ransacked the Prima Vista and went to fight Baku. In this fight, I deliberately dragged the fight out an extra turn so I could get Zidane's trance gauge to fill a little more. As a bonus, I managed to steal the Iron Sword in that extra turn. I'll definitely be putting that to good use.

I read Ruby's letter and saved with Mosco, then headed out to search for Garnet. Luck must be on my side right now because I made it to Monty on my first try! I optimized Steiner and Zidane, read the two letters, and saved. My time is now 00:42:51. Zidane's equipment is the same as before except that he now is wearing a Silk Shirt. Steiner is equipped as follows:

Iron Sword
Bronze Helm
Bronze Gloves
Bronze Armor
