Talk to the two marked villagers to gather more information about the Dominant of Fire that may have passed through the village.
Speak with Cid
Go back to Cid and tell him about your findings about the suspected Dominant of Fire.

Make for Caer Norvent
Make it out of the village, then follow the marker down south. You will encounter some enemies along the path. Defeat all of them, and you will eventually arrive near the bridge leading to Caer Norvent.
Enter Caer Norvent
After finding the right moment to proceed, Clive and Cid make their way through the sewers of Caer Norvent. Select the Caer Norvent location on the map to continue.
A cutscene then plays showing a memory of Benedikta and Barnabas, but it gets interrupted when a guard alerts her about the two trespasser’s presence in their base.
