Desert Palace!!!

[lilman2907]

:confused: I have restarted my FF9 game and when i played the desert palace as Eiko.............I forgot to open all three levels in the library part............ now i seem to be stuck and it won't let me fight the final boss at the last candelabra...................any information will help............i didn't know i could get stuck like this.................please help me????:confused:

Just go back and switch on the candels you've missed.

You have switched on the big candel before you fight the boss haven't you?

[lilman2907]

It won't let me get to the two candles behind the doors in the library the only one i got in there is the bottom floor................and yes i'm fairly certain i've lit the rest..............i've ran throught the entire palace around 12 or 13 times and i believe i've got the rest............... is there any possible way to get those two i missed or am i screwed???

[Cid Vicious]

I don't know what two candals you mean.
Have you been in the room past the moogle, where the secret stairs appear?

[lilman2907]

yeh i been all the way up to the final candelabra it just won't let me light it

[Cid Vicious]

What about the candel near the start, where the two statues are. There's a hidden stairway that leads to one, have you lit that.

[lilman2907]

i thought there were more cadles in the library............ the walkthrough says i have to open two hidden doors...........well actually i had them open but i left the screen and they closed on me???

[lilman2907]

yeh i got it already

[Cid Vicious]

yeh i got it alreadyYou've got what, the candel that i said or the boss?
If you still need the candel in the libary, then just go back and light it, you should still be able to do that.

[lilman2907]

i got the candle at the beginning.........the boss won't show........and it won't let me go back into the areas i missed any suggestions

[RyanML]

have you gone up that staircase where the boss battle is sposed to be? (sorry if you have already gone through this i didnt read the rest of the thread lol)

[Cid Vicious]

I don't get that, you should be able to go back into areas you've missed.
The only thing i suggest is, if you've got a save spot at the start, then load it and begin again.

[lilman2907]

that what sucks about it this happens to be my only save spot.............that's why i left the screen to begin ............... to go save at the moogle

[RyanML]

when i first did it the other day, i went up the stairs and the boss battle wouldnt commence, but i could go back... i needed to go into the upperfloor of the library and turn the candle on up there, really strange u cant go back :confused:

[Angel Heart]

I think everyone who's played ff9 has been stuck in Desert Palace, i got stuck at the part where the moogle is, i always went near the right part of the screen instead of the left, thus not finding the other area. :(

I don't understand how you can acess the area where the last candel is if you haven't switched the ones before them on. :confused: How many candels have you lit so far.

[Quindiana Jones]

Not me. I flew through it. Easy peasy. Chances are you've missed a not-so-obvious one. You probably can go back, but are just muddled...

[lilman2907]

well i've tried all of that ya'll have mentioned and i'm still stuck i don't know what's goin on but if i have to fight in the desert palace much longer i'm going to start the game over................lol

[Quindiana Jones]

That would suck.

Don't overexert yourself -- you don't need to find absolutely every single candle. While it's recommended that you do to get all the bloodstones, you only need to light the candles that light up the stained-glass windows to proceed. For instances, you can miss the candle that opens the Fairy Earrings chest and be able to get along just fine. Many "light-up" candles are behind the three-tier bookshelf, so make sure you go there by all means.
