Lower Halls

Vaan: What was it Old Dalan said? “The signet yearns for sunstone’s strength, to light the clouded way.” But there was more… Oh yeah! “Once in the palace, you’ll find the signet tile. Give to it the sun’s power, and it will light your path.” Looks like I’ve got a signet to find.

[If you’re caught by the guards at any point…]

Imperial: Hey, you there! What are you doing here? You should be waiting down in the cellars with the others!

[When you examine the Hawk Signet…]

Hawk Signet: A beautiful signet is painted upon the floor. It appears to be a representation of a hawk. Use the Crescent Stone?

Use it.

>Nothing happens. 

Do nothing.

[When you examine the Lion Signet…]

Lion Signet: A beautiful signet is painted upon the floor. It appears to be a representation of a lion. Use the Crescent Stone?

Use it. 

>The light of the sun flows into the signet. The hidden way is lit. 

Do nothing.

[When you examine the Faint Light…]

A faint light shines from beyond the wall.

Approach the wall. 

Do nothing.

[After going through the secret door…]

Vaan: Well, that takes care of the secret passage. Now where’s this treasure…

(Vaan hears a sound behind him and turns to see the wall has closed on him.)

Vaan: Hey, watch it! Guess it’s not leaving me much choice.

[When you examine the Switch…]

You see a small object that looks like a switch.

Press the switch. 

>You hear a mechanical click from behind. 

Do nothing.

[When you examine the Suspicious-looking Wall…]

This wall looks rather suspicious.

Examine the wall. 

Do nothing.

Palace Treasury

(Inside the treasury, Vaan is rummaging through the items when he accidentally hits a switch, and hears a sound behind him. He turns to see the statue of a goddess-like figure, whose face has opened to reveal a hollow space where a glowing stone is hidden. Vaan takes the stone and looks it over, then suddenly hears a voice.)

Man: Quite a performance.

Vaan: Who are you?

Man: I play the leading man, who else? (to the viera who appears behind Vaan) Fran, the magicite.

Viera: Well then, I’ll be taking that.

Vaan: No, you won’t. I found it. It’s mine.

Balthier: And then when I take it from you, it will be mine.

(The three are staring each other down when they hear a commotion outside. The man and the viera look at each other.)

Man: Exit stage right.

Viera: The gods do not smile on us.

Man: I like it better that way.

[You obtain the Goddess’s Magicite!]
