i'm stuck (disc 3)

[Blank]

im in the desert palace with the party members who werent sent to oliveoilland. my party is eiko, quina, amarant, and freya.

i have to light a bunch of candles and get bloodstone things.
i belive i lit every candle and got all the blood things, but im stuck.
im in the room with the gargoyle statue and the angel statue. this kid's walkthough i used said
"Go through the door, and go left, to the next area. Light up all the candles, and get the Bloodstone. Light the candle under the angel statue to the left, and return to the gargoyle statue. Light the candle to the left and below the statue, and go up the stairs."
when you go in and light all the candles first, doesnt that mean you wouldnt have to go back and light them again?? right now all candles are lit, and i dont know how to get to the stairs hes talking about. ill just keep walking around..trying whatever...please help.

Oh dear, I remember this part. Pulled this from a walkthrough:



When you take over as Eiko, run into the right-hand room again, and
save your game with the Moogle. Leave the room, and this time, go left,
and onto the next screen, and up the stairs. Light the candle to your
left, then watch as a bloodstone activates to the right. Check it out,
and take the Promist Ring. Equip this to Vivi right away so he can
learn the abilities, then run up the stairs. Examine the statues to the
right of the stairs, then attempt to go to the left exit. Some clear
stairs appear, so take them to the next area.


Run right, and light the candles here. Now go back a screen, and run to
the west. Run up the next stairs, and light the three large candles,
and watch as two mirrors dissappear. Run through the new path, and take
it to the north to re-enter the same area, only now on the other side.
Light the southwest candle here to make the statues on the other side
dissappear, and return there, and light the two candles near the stairs
(one on each side). Now the other statues should dissappear, so run to
the right, and finish lighting the rest of the candles here. Run down
the stairs, and light the last candle here, and a bloodstone will
appear at the top of the stairs. Examine it to get the Anklet.


Now run through the new doorway to the right, and in the narrow
hallway, light the candle that is about halfway down on your right,
then examine the new bloodstone to get the Shield Armor. Run to the end
of this hallway, and run towards the screen, and up the stairs. On the
balcony here, light the first candle, then run around the balcony, and
enter the next room. In the library, run to the far left, and light the
candle to cause some stairs to lower. Run up them, then run to the left
again, and light the next candle to reveal a hidden passage. Enter it
to find the Bloodstone containing a N-Kai Armlet. Take it, then return
to the library, and climb up the smaller set of stairs here. Run right
and light the candle, then head through the new passageway.


Run left up the stairs, and light the candle on the way up. At the top,
light the candle, then run back down the stairs, and re-enter the
library. At the bottom of the bookshelves, there is a statue with an
unlit candle near it. Light it, then head through the newly opened
path. Light the candle out here, then go back, and run to the left,
where the library has expanded. Save your game with Mogsam if you wish
to (it's recommended), then run left.


On the next screen, there are two candles. Light them, take the Black
Hood from the new Bloodstone that lights up afterwards, then head
through the door, across the balcony, and onto the opposite balcony.
Light the next three candles here, and take the Venetia Shield from the
new bloodstone. Now put out the candle that is near the statue of the
angle, but the one that is to it's left. This will cause a shadow to
come up. Now run back across the balcony, and put out the candle that
is to the left of the demon statue here, and another clear, crystal
stairway will pop up. At this time, be sure to equip the N-Kai Armlet
to Vivi, so he can cast Water. Run up the next sets of stairs, and at
the top, light the last candle, and the defense system will activate,
causing a boss battle.

I suggest looking at another walkthrough if you want. And if you get stuck on monsters, there is a really cool way to level up. Defeat one of those Epitaph things with only one person alive, and you will get godly amounts of EXP.

aw finally, the walkthrough you put up was clearer than the one i was looking at. i turned the candles off and went up the stairs and handed the boss's ass to him. thanks again.

hey, when u fight the boss battle, do this. its way fun. keep all of your character alive but dont have them kill the boss. have quina use magic hammer over and over and over again. watch what happens. trust me try it, just keep using magic hammer for the entire battle and dont have anyone else kill the thing, jsut use magic hammer.
