Before you head into Mount Ordeals, especially since Palom and Porom will be joining you at Lv. 10, I really suggest you take some time to level them up. Seriously, they learn some fantastic spells that will make the upcoming battles much more manageable. Don't skip this!

Also, a quick tip about Tents: use up all but one or two before you reach the Chocobo Forest. You'll see why in a moment, and it's a pretty sweet deal if you do it right.

You'll find Mount Ordeals to the east, a giant mountain smack in the middle of a huge forest. Just south of it is a Chocobo Forest. Head in there, and you'll find Namingway again, who's got a little side quest for you.

Namingway Sidequest: Namingway, now calling himself Campingway, is chilling in the Chocobo Forest. He's looking to buy all your Tents for a whopping 300 Gil each. If you have six or fewer Tents, this is a great deal since you only sell them for 50 Gil normally. If you have more than seven, you'll actually lose Gil, so be mindful of that. If you've only got one Tent left, it's an amazing deal – you practically make 250 Gil! Plus, by doing this, Namingway will pass the Event Viewer to the Fat Chocobo.

As you approach Mount Ordeals, which is recommended for levels 18-21, you'll hear a mysterious voice. Just a heads-up, Dark Knight Cecil is about to leave the party. Make sure you unequip him of all his gear right after you defeat Scarmiglione for the second time. You don't want to lose that Mythgraven Blade!

Mount Ordeals is pretty easy to spot – it's that massive mountain east of Mysidia, right in the middle of the forest you've likely already passed through to find the Chocobo Forest.
