After that awesome CGI, Squall and his party will be released from their capsules [do you know that you could "swim"?]. BTW, the screen is being tilted. Now talk to the space crew and examine Rinoa, who is found behind the guard near the south-left corner. Next Squall will carry Rinoa on his back. Now followed everyone to the Medical Room on left of the walkway, Enter the room and you will see Squall placed Rinoa inside an oxygen chamber. BTW, The guard is a card player. Now exit and followed the man dressed in white, Piet. Now you should be on the junction where you found a stairs. Head up and enter the controls room. Now check the monitor on the right of mains. Next you will have a CGI. Now talk to Piet and leave the room. You can have a card game with him in order to get the Alexander [save before doing so.].

Now head back to the area where you found the stairs. Head up and you should be at a tunnel. Talk to the girl and you will have another sequence. [there is a sequence of several astrounauts fixing the seal for the Sorceress Adel. Looks like Jenova in Mount Nibel of FF7..]

There is a pathway that leads to the Astronaut's Locker Room and it is in the north-east direction of the tunnel. Now walk down the tunnel. You will find Ellone in the next area. There is a hidden Draw Point in this area [Meteor]. Next talk to Ellone. Now Ellone will follow Squall after the conversation. Time to check on Rinoa. [Don't forgot Laguna's Card, which can be obtained from Ellone through the Card Game!]

Next as you were in the tunnel, and the screen will switches to Rinoa, whom is starting to move. And a warning signal was sent to the controls, could it be the machine failure. Next your other party member will leave along with Ellone. Now head for the Medical Room. As you was at the walkway outside the Infirmary, you will find the guard being knocked by a ghostly Rinoa. Press X at Rinoa and Squall will be rejected off from her. Head for the controls room, where she is heading to. Now at the control room, bump to her and she will leave. Check the monitor on the right and you will be shown the picture of the rocks. Next you will have an CGI of a spaceship approaching the planet. Leave the controls room and head upstairs and you will have a CGI.

Enter the Astronaut's Locker room and you will find Rinoa [dressed in an astronaut suit head for the airlock.] Now you need to get an astronaut suit, examine the cabin [looks like a locker to me..] and Squall will change into an astronaut! Head for the air lock, through the door on the left in the locker room. You can't get Rinoa back to the place... Now head back to the control room and you will have an event of Rinoa breaking the seal of Sorceress Adel... Now the ship has trouble as it is heading towards the cursed planet. Now talk to everyone and they will head for the escape pod. Talk to Ellone and head right from the controls. Talk to Ellone, whom was on the elevator and you will find a Save Point there. Head right and talk to Elone. Next examine the unoccupied pod and you will view an CGI:

Next Ellone will come out and started to bring Squall to the past… Rinoa is on a Galbadian Truck with Irvine, a very funny sequence [remember the incident before they first meet Squall at the D-District Prison?] and this is followed by the talk with Zell at Balamb Garden. She wants Squall's ring and Zell will try to get it for her. Next you will have the sequence after you have defeat Edea at the end of Disc 2. Rinoa has been possessed by a mysterious lady... the Sorceress from the future and you will have a long event.

Here is the summary of the event: Rinoa starts to float past through the space. As time passes, Rinoa is floating closer and closer. Next you will have a couple of CGI of Rinoa regaining her consicious after her bangle (Odine Bangle..) floats up. She starts to think of Squall and operate her oxygen tank... actually this is through Ellone.

Squall started to exit from his chamber and help Rinoa and head out of the escape pod and reaches for Rinoa. Next you will have a mini-game of Squall catching Rinoa, which is about 2 minutes to catch Rinoa... Just simply position her in the middle of the screen and press Triangle to secure the position. You will be automatically reunited with Rinoa after that mini-game.

Now Squall will carry his love and carry her forward in space and found a giant air-ship [Ragnarok] shown in a cool CGI. They will then enter the ship. Next examine the panel on the left and it will closethe air-lock. Now head up and you will have some short conversation. Now go through the door and you will find out that the ship has been infested with gigantic Ailens. Head down stairs and you will have to fight eight of them. Below are the general stats of these monsters.

Strategy
These guys may have very damaging attacks, but they are bit quite easy to defeat. Your party only comprises of Rinoa and Squall. During the battle, Rinoa will be able to use her new Limit Break, Angel Wings. Make full use of Curaga to restore lost HP. Angel Wings pack a punch. Make sure one of them is at least protected against Silence. You could also seize the opportunity to stock up spells. GFs works well. So it is kinda an easy fight.


Here is a map of Ragnarok:

You will not encounter any random battles here. First, you must defeat those Propagtor with the same colors first. Let's says if you have defeated the Purple Propagator in the Hanger, you must fight the other Purple Propagtor at the other side [refer to map]. If you did not, they will regenerate and you will fight them all over and again. Certain Draw Points will appear after you have defeated them. There are 4 kinds of aliens and they are different in colors and there are two of the same kind. Refer to the map above for their location.

After defeating all aliens, head for the elevator where you previously found the green Propagator and you will have an event. The equipment is responding... and Squall will reply over the telecom. Now everyone is treating Rinoa as the Sorceress due to the Lunar Base crash incident. This followed by the song "Eyes on Me"...


Eyes On Me
Sung by: Faye Wong

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny lttle bar
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
* Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming

* repeat


After that wonderful and romantic song, you will be now controlling Ragnarok and will be landed on the Esthar's desert area. There you will be able to meet the people of Esthar including Professor Odine's assistant, Aide. Next Rinoa will leave with them [for she has been accused of being a Sorceress]. Head back to Ragnarok and enter the meeting room [the place where you find the controls, marked "C"] There you will find Irvine, and the rest except for Edea and Rinoa. After some conversation, you find Selphie and Irvine moving out. Once you approaches Quistis, the ground will started to shake, because Ragnarok has landed off from the ground! Now head for the controls room and you will find Selphie as the pilot! Now you will be back at the World Map. Here are the controls of Ragnarok. BTW, there is a Draw Point [Life] at the junction where you find the stairs that led to the main hall of Ragnarok. Another hidden draw point at the haul, where allows you to nab Full-Life [once only.]
