2Field Treasures: Dragon Wrist, Coronet, Elixir, Remedy, Mythril Racket, Demon's Vest, Minerva's Plate, Flash Hat, Angel Earrings, Wing Edge
Mognet Letters: Accept #21 From Moorock to Mozme
As said in the last video, I am doing this part a little different. Since I am simulating 'No Encounters', I am splitting the intended Terra segment into two parts, at the cost of an extra save.
The intended method is have Dagger take the EXP from one Hecteyes with Level Up active while equipped with the Magic Racket, Holy Miter, Magic Armlet, Robe of Lords, and Dark Matter. This will get her to LV20 and with enough HP that she can survive against Shell Dragon during 'You Are Not Alone'. Instead, I am leveling her up on Gaia using two Whale Zombies on the beach outside Esto Gaza, one with Level Up active and one without.
Similar to getting Quina started on his training, two Whale Zombies in a row is a 50-50 each time. For the 1st fight, there are some options for success; hope for Death or Zombie Powder against Quina, then everyone else can KO themselves, or if Zidane gets a hastely first turn, he can KO Quina and Whale Zombie's Fin attack should leave Dagger alive, as the Robe of Lords gives her the same protection as it did Quina. Quina could attack himself, then hope Fin would take him out, but that didn't happen here. Get lucky to get another Whale Zombie and hope Dagger gets the first turn. Antibody covers for Venom Powder and she can take a hit easily, just no Zombie Powder please!
I save before the point of no return, and I can enjoy Terra's music without interruption!

Before entering Terra, I prepare Dagger and Steiner for their respective YANA battles now, as they need nothing inside Terra before they leave the party. For Combined Stats, Dagger needs the Ribbon instead of the Dark Matter as Freya needs the latter for YANA. She also needs Auto-Potion to survive against Shell Dragon, as Zidane will remain at LV1.
Terra has somewhat moderate encounter rates which makes getting through most screens encounter-less difficult. In theory I could have tried for one or two encounters on the way training Dagger, but I have never had a clean Terra in all of my attempts of the Ex2PG. If you do opt for a Hecteyes encounter, wait for it to act (especially Roulette) and then KO everyone but Dagger and use an Elixir on it as it is also undead like the Whale Zombie. In short, just 'cut and paste' the two fights I took on Gaia here in Terra and you get basically the same segment. Revive Zidane if not close to entering Bran Bal so you can flee.
Once safely in Bran Bal, take Freya and Amarant with you as they also need prepared for YANA. Head left at the gate as there is a hidden path to the Flash Hat, and get the Angel Earrings near the pond. Head to the storage area on the right side and get the Wing Edge and free Moorock, then enter his Mogshop to make your final item purchases...
Sell - Dragon Wrist, Mythril Racket, Demon's Vest, Phoenix Pinion, Flash Hat, Angel Earrings, Wing Edge, all Potion if you have any.
Buy - 10 Hi-Potion, 1 Adaman Hat (2 if you can afford it), 1 Bistro Fork, 9 Zorlin Shape, 1 Defender
Accept your final Mognet letter to Mozme and save!
