Strategy
Search for the Gatekeepers

| Lobivia | Bikanel Oasis | Speak with the Hypello if you find it, then interact with the Cactuar. Finish the mini game and have the pilot take you to the Cactuar Nation. Bring the loot to the cactus. |
| Toumeya | Bikanel Beach | After talking to the new cactus, head over to the beach. |
| Lobeira | Chateau in Guadosalam | Backtrack all the way to the secret area where you fought the syndicate to find a peculiar chest. |
| Areq and Arroja | Bridge in Calm Lands | Proceed to the bridge in the middle of Mt. Gagazet and Calm Lands. |
| Islaya | Thunder Plains | Go to the far north and look for a Cactuar statue facing the structure. |

The Northern Expanse is the lair of Zu’s, which you need to defeat
