Winhill

This location is not accessible on disc 4
The first time you explore Winhill, it will be as Laguna (who inherits Squall's junctions). Kiros will soon join, using Irvine's junctions. With him in tow, your mission is to head to the south edge of town, and then back to the town square.

When Balamb Garden becomes mobile, you can return here to complete a minor side quest or use the Draw points.

The side quest begins in the mansion at the north end of town. Speak to the people within, then inspect the suit of armor. You will find a vase piece when you walk away, which gets the quest started.

You need to find three other vase pieces. One is in the flowers in the old lady's house. A second is one of three possible rewards for catching chicobos at the crossing. After you've collected the three available Items, a full-sized chocobo will show up, and you won't be able to catch any more chicobos.

The final vase piece is a bit trickier to find. Go to the pub (where Raine once lived) and speak to the woman upstairs until she mentions the aroma of white flowers. Investigate the flowers on the front table, and an apparition of Raine will appear behind the bar. Speak to it, and a cat will appear. Check the cat again to find a vase piece.

If the Queen of Cards is here, she'll be in the hotel (located on the right in the southern part of town). From here, she may end up in Galbadia (Deling City), Dollet, or Fishermans Horizon.
