Pinnacle Rocks

FINAL FANTASY IX guide · Meeting Ramuh

Dagger, Steiner, and Marcus arrive at Pinnacle Rocks while attempting to reach Alexandria from Lindblum. Here, the Eidolon Ramuh tests Dagger's worthiness by scattering five spectral phantoms across the forest path, challenging the party to reconstruct a traditional story known as "Hero's Story." After gathering the story pieces and assembling the correct sequence, Ramuh awards Dagger the Peridot, allowing her to summon him.

Tips

To pass Ramuh's trial, speak to the phantoms around the area to learn all four story fragments, then select Beginning, Cooperation, and Silence, followed by either Human or Hero to complete the puzzle.
Marcus leaves the party shortly after navigating past Pinnacle Rocks to Alexandria, so remove any valuable equipment from him before jumping into the cart.
