Your next destination, on your was to the city of Esthar, is to head to Fishermans Horizon (FH), but there are a few things that you should complete before you make your way there. Firstly, make sure that you completed the Combat King 003 (Pigtail Girl) side quest mentioned on the previous page:
There are three items that you are going to need to have in your possession or be able to create in order to complete an upcoming side quest to obtain a new Guardian Force (Doomtrain). More specifically, you are going to need 6x 
Malboro Tentacle, 6x 
Steel Pipe and 6x 
Remedy+. Some of these items you may already have, but check and make sure, and if not, use the instructions below to procure them all:
These are the easiest of the three items to obtain. Check your inventory as there is a good chance that through your travels or through playing Triple Triad and refining your cards, you may already have more than enough Steel Pipes.
You may already have the ability learned, but if not, make sure to have Diablos learn 
Enc-None (which becomes available after it learns Enc-Half). Equipping this ability to one of your characters will allow you to travel around the World Map without being thrown into random battles while you are exploring.
If not, travel back to the forest near Galbadia Garden and fight enemies there until you come across a Wendigo. Defeat them and they have a chance to drop Steel Pipes.
There is a hard way and an easy way to obtain Malboro Tentacles. The easy way is to play enough Triple Triad, and win enough 
Malboro Cards, to simply refine them into Malboro Tentacles. The only problem with this approach is that you will need to have won 24 Malboro Cards as you need 4 of them to refine into one Tentacle. If you have been playing a ton of Triple Triad, you may be in luck, but otherwise, you may be stuck with option 2.
The alternative is to battle and defeat (or 
Mug) a Malboro out in the wild. There are three locations where you can find a Malboro, but at this stage of the game, you can only reach one of them.
You will need to obtain a Chocobo and travel back to the forests outside of the Chocobo Sanctuary (recall its location from the Chocobo Forests side quest) which is called Grandidi Forest.
Finding this forest is a pain but its actually the easy part. The hard part is actually defeating a Malboro. Fans of the Final Fantasy series are likely already familiar with the challenges associated with fighting a Malboro. This is an enemy that has caused many a game over screen for those that are unprepared. The biggest obstacle for you to overcome is dealing with Malboro’s negative status effects, but there are some strategies you can use to overcome this.
Make sure to junction status magic to your armor in order to negate as many of these status affects as you can. Make sure one character is able to protect themselves against 
Confuse and Berserk, as these are the two most challenging abnormalities to deal with. From there, as long as they have access to use an Item and/or cast Magic, they should be able to heal the other party members after Malboro uses Malboro Breath.
Just make sure you save somewhere on the World Map before you give this a try!
Remedy+ can be refined from a normal Remedy by using Alexander’s 
Med LV Up ability. It takes quite a few Ability Points (AP) for Alexander to learn this ability, so consider returning to Cactuar Island. Check out the following page for more information:
Note that you will need a total of 60x Remedy in your possession as it takes 10x Remedy to refine into 1 Remedy+.
Its now time to head to Fishermans Horizon (FH). Hop into Balamb Garden and take it into the water. You can get back into FH by docking where it previously crashed, and FH can be found along the large bridge in the center of the map. Use the mini-map if you are having trouble finding it.
As soon as you land at Fishermans Horizon the story will kick back up again. Squall will pick up Rinoa and head towards the bridge.
There are a few more interludes, and there is one spot along the bridge where you will regain control of Squall and just have to pick Rinoa back up.
Once you reach the end of the road you will meet up with the rest of your team members as well as Edea. Edea mentions that she wants to travel to Esthar with the team to meet with Dr. Odine. At this point, while selecting your team, you will have the option to include Edea.
While it can be fun to include Edea in your party temporarily, she is not a permanent addition to the group, and therefore and experience or kills made by her are essentially going to waste. This is not a huge problem as she is only with your team for a very short amount of time, but just something to consider while you are making your party selection choices.
Pick your three team members and then continue to the end of the road. You will find yourself back out at the World Map. Its time to travel to the next location, which is extremely close: the Great Salt Lakes.
