Nalbina Dungeons
Vaan finds himself along with Fran and Balthier down in the Nalbina Dungeons Stockade. Let's begin by finding us a few Knots of Rust shall we? The first is in a chest located down at the southwest corner. The second can be found against a pillar on the northwest side of the raised area in the middle.
The final two Knots of Rust can be found in chests down in the southeast corner. Once you have all four, use the Save Crystal on the north side, speak to anyone you wish to talk to, and then take the north exit.
The battle you are dropped into is not a difficult one by any means. You should have no trouble taking them down solely using firsts, however even so, both Magick and those Knots of Rust are options for more powerful hits from a distance. Cure if necessary, but you really shouldn't have any trouble.
ZODIAC SPEAR ALERT - Following the next scene you will come across all your equipment and gear. After recovering them, make absolutely sure not to open a single one of the chests here in the Confiscatory. Doing so will blow your chances to find the Zodiac Spear later in the game.
Save your game and proceed east. Make tracks for the stairs at the southeast corner, then follow the walkway to the west end where you'll find a chest that may contain Chromed Leathers. Return to the previous floor and check the various corners of the room for a number of treasure chests.
Follow the hall leading west up at the northwest corner. Make a left turn and stay close to the southern wall to find a chest which may contain the Gambit, Ally: HP < 60%. Another chest can be found directly north of this one.
Head for the centre of the north wall to find the floor Fran was speaking of. A scene will interrupt you at this point. Proceed through the now-open door to further the story. limb an additional set of stairs to trigger quite a magnificent cutscene.
