Pinnacle Rocks

Zidane, Dagger, and Vivi will meet up with Ramuh, the Thunder God, once they reach the Pinnacle Rocks.

The objectives in this area are pretty straightforward. Ramuh has hidden five manifestations of himself throughout the forest, which you must find to obtain him as an Eidolon and gain the ability to summon him.

Each time you find a manifestation, you will be told a piece of the “Hero’s Story,” which you must then recite back to Ramuh to complete the mini-game.

You can find each of the manifestations and pieces of the Hero’s Story in the areas shown in the screenshots below. You must get close to Ramuh in each area to make him materialize.

Start by speaking to Monty the Moogle in the first area and providing him with the letter from Mosh.

Hero

This manifestation is located where the team first met Ramuh. Proceed behind where Monty is standing to find your way back there.

There are also three items that you can pick up in the area. There is a treasure chest near Monty that contains a Mythril Vest. There is a treasure chest behind the “Cooperation” manifestation of Ramuh that contains The Ogre, which is a weapon that Zidane should have already had for some time.

Follow the pathway towards the exit and look for a field icon on the lower edge of the pathway (as shown in the screenshot below). You can choose to “Jump Off” the pathway and down to the last treasure chest, which contains a Mythril Armlet. Proceed to the exit and speak to Ramuh once you have found all five manifestations.

Ramuh will ask you to recite the story back to him, which you should tell him in the following order:

  • Beginning
  • Cooperation
  • Silence
  • Either Human or Hero

Your reward for completing the mini-game is the Peridot accessory. There are a few more cutscenes involving Dagger, Zidane, and Vivi.

You will get the option to either “jump off now” or “jump off later” when the team approaches the cliff. This is the point of no return, so make sure you obtain all three treasure chests above and provide Monty with the letters before you leave.

Once upon a time… which story comes first

There is a short cinematic sequence that plays, showing Queen Brahne’s attack on Lindblum before the team can continue through the town.
