・Proceed to the Shrine of Bygone Light
After proceeding to the Balcony, you will reach a Cube. Go to the right of the cube to proceed to the Shrine of Bygone Light. Inside the shrine, you can break the Dark Vent to the right to get a chest. After that proceed to the left side of the shine and up the stairs. You can drop down to the center of the hall to fight the wolves.

After fighting them, proceed to the stairs on the right to enter the Temple of the Dead.

・Go up the Tower
In the Temple of the Dead, you can drop down the ladder to access the Cube. After doing that you can go to back up the ladder and open the door to Pathway to Rebellion. Go up the tower there to reach a fallen pillar that leads to three Dark Vents. Destroy all vents to create a bridge to another set of stair that you can go up to. Heal up and rest on the Cube before going to the door to Enter the Tower of Fate.
5
・Enter the Tower of Fate
Once inside the Tower of Fate, fight the Skeletons to proceed to the door on the left that leads to a large hall. Go to the door in just right ahead of you to enter a room with a chest containing a key.

Get the key and fight your way out, and open the large door in the center. You can also open the door to the right to fight a Tonberry and get more EXP and equipment before opening the main door. Behind the door is another Cube that you can use to rest and prepare for the fight ahead.
6
・Fight Chaos Advent
After using the Cube, enter the door to begin the fight with Garland. You need to break his gauge or reduce his HP to half to using the first Soul Burst. This will initiate the second phase of the fight, where you have to break his gauge or reduce his HP to use another Soul Burst to beat him.
