General note - if you go into the wind when it's blowing, you'll automatically pick a fight with the wind creatures - Wyerds. The jello-heads are Flans.

The first area has a chest with a tent in it - go to the edge of the ledge to get to it. You can get a flan card by fighting various creatures here, then head up the stairs.

Next you're in an area with stairs leading to a blank wall. Follow them and get Vivi to blast it with magic to reveal a chest. You'll find ether in the chest. More flan cards are available from the monsters. Go right and around underneath to get to the second chest. There's a potion in it.

In the next area there are two chests. The first one has a mage masher (for Zidane), then Vivi hits the log and you can get to the second chest with an elixir. A chest to the right has phoenix down. Go north to the wall and blast it to loop around to the chest on the left, which has a leather wrist in it.

You're now at a fork. Go left first, and free Mois the Moggle. You'll get an ATE about advance combat, which has good information. You'll also get a letter to carry from Mois to Gumo. Save up, and head to the right fork.

Everyone will fall asleep, and you'll wake back up and head right. Be sure you've equipped the new stuff you've found before going in. You'll meet Black Waltz #1, a creature sent by the Queen to grab the princess. Steal a silk shirt from him, and then kill him. Now fight the ice sea lion second, grabbing a Mythril dagger from him before you slay him. You'll see the Queen's lackeys up above before heading back to the group.

Grab them, head past the falls, pick up a few more Flan cards from monsters, and head out of the cavern. The Princess decides at this point that her new name is "Dagger", and you head down into the meadows.
