Fossil Roo
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Fossil Roo 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 flow through underground tunnels. The passengers ride holding onto the back of a giant mole-cricket-like insect, called the Gargant. It is called by feeding it flowers that look like large dandilions. 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.
The entrance to Fossil Roo is hidden in a 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 inadvertantly 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 immediately 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 is interrupted by the bounty hunter Lani, who was hired by Garnet's mother Queen Brahne. Lani demands that Garnet hand over the royal pendant around her neck, which Garnet had stolen from Alexandria earlier. 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.
Fossil Roo contains a mining spot where the player can choose to dig in certain areas for items. Potions, Ore, and the Madain's Ring accessory.
