Fossil Roo (フォッシル・ルー, Fosshiru Rū?) is a tunnel that connects the Mist Continent with the Outer Continent. It is an ancient transport network in Final Fantasy IX.

Fossil Roo is a network of roots from the huge Iifa Tree, which flows through underground tunnels. The passengers ride holding onto the back of a giant mole-cricket-like insect called the Gargant. It is beckoned by feeding it flowers that look like large dandelions. The Gargant's routes may be altered by various switches along the path, which open up water valves across roots that deter the Gargant.

There is another Gargant tunnel, called Gargan Roo, which transports people around the Mist Continent.

StoryEdit

FFIX Gargan Roo
Entrance to the Fossil Roo found in Qu's Marsh.
XenomicAdded by Xenomic

The entrance to Fossil Roo is hidden in the Qu's Marsh near Lindblum. Zidane, Vivi, and Princess Garnet find Quina in the marsh, who leads them through the tall grass in search of frogs to dine on. Quina inadvertently discovers the excavation site that leads to Fossil Roo but misses the chance to catch any frogs.

The party descends into the tunnel, where they are pursued by the mechanized Armodullahan. After being chased across a stone bridge with many pendulum-like axes, Armodullahan falls into a hole, and the party has a short time to rest, but they are interrupted by the bounty hunter Lani, who was hired by Garnet's mother, Queen Brahne. Lani demands Garnet to hand over the royal pendant, and after Garnet refuses to comply, Lani threatens her, and a battle ensues. After being defeated, Lani escapes back to the entrance to the Roo, and the party continues down into the tunnels.

Mining MinigameEdit

Fossil Roo contains a mining spot where the player can choose to dig in certain areas for items. The mining opens up when the player speaks to the treasure hunter who requests a Potion in return of letting Zidane have a go at mining. The rewards include Potions, Hi-Potions, Ore, and the Madain's Ring accessory.

The player can dig in any area (top or bottom portion) of the central column. At the top there is a loose wall on the right, which can be knocked down to free a Moogle. His Mogshop has the same items as Mogki's earlier in the Roo, but he has a letter to deliver.
