Narshe
Imperial soldiers Biggs and Wedge escort an enslaved young woman in Magitek armor into Narshe to retrieve a frozen Esper unearthed deep within the mines. The player must push north through the snow-covered streets while clearing out local defenders, navigate the mine tunnels, and overcome the guardian monster Ymir to reach the frozen creature.

Enemies
Town watchman patrolling the outer streets; items cannot be stolen during this sequence because the party lacks the Steal command.
Large horned creature guarding the northern gate near the mine entrance that can cast Blizzard.
Cave rodent inhabiting the mines that absorbs Poison-elemental damage.
Giant lightning whelk boss that counters any hits to its shell with a damaging Megavolt lightning discharge.
Tips
- Move all three characters into the back row through the party menu, which halves incoming physical strikes while Magitek beams continue to deal unreduced damage.
- Cease all offensive moves when Ymir withdraws its head into the shell and spend those turns using Healing Force instead of risking a lethal counterattack.
- Clear out multi-target groups of regular enemies immediately by using Terra's unique Bio Blast Magitek ability.
