| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Homeward Bound Follow the path until you reach Kamaria's Ranch. Here, you'll unlock the Bonds of Trust side quest, and the Chocobo tracks will be revealed on the map where the Sky Chocobo is located. ▶ Bonds of Trust Walkthrough Note: The Sky Chocobo is not particularly useful for reaching Cosmo Canyon, and this step is not required, so you can skip this if you're planning to do all the side content later on. |
| 2 |  After optionally capturing the Chocobo, you can proceed directly to Cosmo Canyon by following the signs marked Cosmo Canyon. Note: You cannot fly to Cosmo Canyon even with the Sky Chocobo, so continue walking along the cliffs through the Celestory Cavern. Check the map above to see the path you'll take to reach Cosmo Canyon. |
| 3 |  Welcome Back, Nanaki After reaching Cosmo Canyon, Red XIII will run off. Follow him to the location shown on the map above. |
| 4 |  Pilgrimage Go towards the southernmost building in town and you'll see Red XIII go into it. Follow him inside and ride the elevator up. |
| 5 | After using the elevator, continue going up using the stairs to reach the Cosmo Observatory. |
| 5 |  Gadgets and Gizmos Aplenty Upon entering the Cosmo Observatory, go up the stairs and interact with the Telescope on the Upper Level. Then, return to the Middle Level where you will hear a low rumble. Interact with the Planetary Phonograph to initiate another cutscene. Note: There are a couple of gadgets in each floor that you can interact. However, you only need to interact with the Telescope to progress the story. |
| 5 | A Planetological Review Follow Bugenhagen down the hall for a cutscene. After the cutscene ends, you will be able to leave the Cosmo Observatory. Tip: After exiting the Cosmo Observatory, follow the Assistant to the Observatory Treasury, where you can pick up several great items. Crystal Megaphone: One of the items you will find inside the treasury is a new weapon for Cait Sith. |
| 5 |  Higher Learning Take the elevator from the Flight of Awakening to the Flight of Scholarship. Then, turn right and continue along the path until an Assistant intercepts you and requests that you follow him. |
| 6 |  The River of Lights Head to the west side of the town and use the Torch Elevator to attend the ceremony. Talk to all the members of your party, except Cait Sith, to build your Relationship Level with each character. ┗ Jump to Chapter 10 Romance and Relationship Guide Tip: Make sure that you talk to Aerith last, and try not to get too close to her as it will trigger a cutscene and will prevent you from talking to the other members of the party. |
| 5 | Sage Advice Follow Bugenhagen to the sealed door and enter the Cave of Gi to begin the trials. |
