Pinnacle Rocks

Pinnacle Rocks is a location in Final Fantasy IX located near Lindblum on the Mist Continent and can be accessed as early as Disc 1, when the player is in control of Zidane.

Only a small part of the area is available for exploration, and two treasure chests to be looted, but further progress is halted by a large cliff. There is a sign reporting an apparent ghostly presence in the area. Other than this, the rocks have no use at this point in the game.

Story
After fleeing Queen Brahne's Bandersnatches at Alexandria Castle, Princess Garnet, Zidane, and Vivi board a Gargant car in hopes of seeking refuge in Treno.

A Ralvuimago scares the Gargant, and they overshoot the Treno station, crashing at Pinnacle Rocks. After picking themselves out of the cart wreckage, they meet the eidolon Ramuh, who will allow them to pass if they find his six incarnations hidden throughout the rocks. Each of the incarnations tells part of the story of Josef, a Final Fantasy II character, which must be arranged in the correct order and relayed to Ramuh. No matter how Garnet ends the story, Ramuh becomes Garnet's eidolon, and the party moves on to witness the Siege of Lindblum.

Like many places in Gaia, Pinnacle Rocks cannot be accessed in Disc 4 due to an Iifa root protruding across the entrance on the World Map.
