Guide to The Village of Dali in final fantasy ix, including Ragtime Mouse, Friendly Monsters, and the 'Your Lucky Day' trophy.

  • Wait at least 20 seconds on the world map before encountering the Ragtime Mouse.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter The Village of Dali.

    View one of the two available ATEs: 'Vivi, Confused' or 'Dagger Tries'.
  4. 4
    In the inn's room, grab the Antidote from the chest on the right and the Potion by the plants on the left.

    Inspect the desk on the left to find the Color Fortune. You can check your fortune for 10 Gil each; a 'Very Good Omen' is needed for the 'Your Lucky Day' trophy/achievement.

Tips
  • The Ragtime Mouse asks trivia questions. Answer True by attacking the 'O' symbol and False by attacking the 'X' symbol. Striking the mouse or answering incorrectly will cause it to flee.
  • To encounter the Ragtime Mouse, wait 20 seconds on the world map after a random encounter. This also applies to consecutive encounters.
  • There are 16 possible questions from the Ragtime Mouse.
  • You can encounter the Ragtime Mouse up to four times per story progression point.
  • Friendly Monsters, like the Mu, will ask for a jewel. Giving the Mu an Ore will reward you with 10 AP.
  • If you don't have an Ore, fight Carve Spiders in the region until one drops.
  • Near the town, head towards the cliff's edge to find Observatory Mountain.
  • Inside Observatory Mountain, find a Hi-Potion behind the cart at the front and 135 Gil at the far back right.
  • Investigate the floating ship model inside the building to trigger the 'Rare Coffees' side quest.
  • The Synthesis system allows you to combine items to create new ones. The first Synthesis Shop is in Lindblum. Do not sell old equipment as it may be needed for synthesis.
  • The Feathered Hat can be learned for Add Status and Bright Eyes abilities.
  • Mage Mashers and Wrists are important synthesis items; Mage Mashers create new weapons for Zidane, and Wrists are used in a recipe for the Yellow Scarf.
  • 'Your Lucky Day' trophy/achievement (requires a 'Very Good Omen' from a Color Fortune).
  • 10 AP from the Mu (Friendly Monster).
  • Hi-Potion from Observatory Mountain.
  • 135 Gil from Observatory Mountain.
  • Trigger 'Rare Coffees' side quest.
