Once in the Overworld, nothing but trouble seems to follow Rydia and Luca. They wind up crash landing near Agart, and have to salvage materials from the nearby cave to make repairs.
NOTE: If you wander the cave near Agart during a Waning Moon you have a chance of encountering a special Green Dragon battle, this enemy has a chance of dropping a Green Tail (much like the Thunder Dragon in Ceodore's Story). You will know when you encounter it as the animation played when the battle begins is the Glass Shatter effect rather than the normal one.
For the fight on the airship, Rydia is limited to just defending and it all falls on Luca to fight. Thankfully the fight isn't too tough as they will both go down in two to three hits.
Afterwords we find ourselves stuck on Agart Isle having to look for some materials to repair the airship. I suggest going into the dungeon during a New Moon, as there is something extremely important you have to do on a Waxing Moon inside the dungeon.
Once you make it to the save point in the third floor rest with a tent to make the moon phase Waxing Moon and head on to the next floor. In this floor is a room with nothing but rocks, on any other moon phase other than Waxing you won't encounter any enemies, however during a Waxing Moon you will encounter Quatro Puppets. We need to fight these in order to get two very important items: Mythril Nut and Mythril Bolt, they're not a sure drop so it may take you a few battles, but make sure you grab these.
Another important item is found in a jar in the lower right of this floor, the Mythril Spring. North from there you'll find another save point, which I suggest you make use of, and a bit farther north in the top right of the floor you'll find a chest that will initiate another boss battle.
The fight against the Agartoise isn't too tough if you know how to handle it. On the first turn have Luca use a Spider Silk on the boss to inflict slow and use a Hermes Sandal with Rydia. After a few turns the Agartoise will use a fire attack on itself to build up fire magic. When it does this make sure to have Rydia cast Ice magic on it to nullify it. If you do anything other than that the boss will hit you with a very powerful fire attack that will likely wipe you out. So my strategy is to attack for two turns, then wait for the boss to gather fire, cast Blizzara to nullify it, then repeat. Keep doing that and the boss will go down quickly and you will be rewarded with Agarite, which is what we need to fix the airship, so we can now leave the dungeon.
Upon reaching the airship Luca will start making repairs, but notice that the materials she's collected aren't enough and considers using Calca and Brina for parts. This is why we needed the Mythril Nut, Bolt, and Spring. If you didn't collect these then Calca and Brina will get used for parts to fix the airship thus losing two party members for the rest of the game, if you did collect the items then the Airship, Calca, and Brina will all be repaired.
However, before everyone can celebrate the ground begins to shake and a familiar face shows up trying to wreck Agart, and we are forced to fight him.
The fight against Titan is a two phase battle. In the first phase Titan will simply ignore you and continue to cause earthquakes for the island, I suggest simply attacking and using the Dancing Dagger in this phase.
The next phase begins after a scene, and in this phase Titan will no longer simply ignore you, but turn around and start fighting you. Go for broke in this phase, using Rydia and Luca's band on the big guy to deal some decent damage. Titan will only attack you normally or use earthquake on you, the normal attack isn't too bad, but keep an eye on your health when he uses earthquake cause it will hurt a bit.
After so long Titan will use a more powerful version of earthquake which will reduce the party down to 1 HP and a man in black swoops in and takes Titan out.
After the battle a few scenes will play and we have completed Rydia's story. However we still have her Challenge Dungeon to complete, so we will be loading up the clear save in the next segment and tackling that.
