As you fall unconsicious, the screen switches back to Laguna and his
company. Now you need to head for the mine
located to the west of this area. As you head up, you need to fight some of the miners
which are pretty easy. Absorb the magic from the
Draw Point and take the straight path and then head right until the path
splits into three. Take the one leading right and absorb more magic
from the Draw Point. Now head back to the entrance, where you previously
fought the miners.
Take the other path and press down when you
reach the ladder. Next you will have a sequence where Laguna seems
to have injured his back, but continue to walk forward none-the-less. Make a left turn and exit and you will
come out from a huge pipe. Notice that there is a path leading north, so
head up it and you will find a huge boulder and a
torpedo-shaped structure. Press Circle on the structure and
choose option one, making the boulder start to roll down and thus block
the previous exit. Now walk up the path and up the stairs to continue to
move forward and make a left turn when you reached a junction. Head left
until you reach a cave, where there is a Save Point.
Make sure that your party is fully healed and make your way up to find cliff facing the sea. Now you will be interupted by a couple of miners and you have to fight them. You will fight in this sequence: 1 miner, 2 miners, 2 miners, 2 miners. Note that after you have defeated the last miner, Kiros and Ward will receive unavoidable damage, reducing their HP to only one point.
(There is a boulder on the left; press Circle to examine it and it will reveal a Draw Point!)
After the battle, Laguna, Kiros and Ward will have eventually reached their destination - the cliff face which looks out onto the sea. Laguna sees a ship and decides that this can take them all back to Galbadia. He aids his battle-worn comrades down the cliff (or rather, throws them off!), and then makes his own way down.
