Steiner and Dagger will not be available for this next section of the game. You will have to replace either of them if they were in your party. Replace Dagger with Eiko if you were using Dagger, and replace Steiner with any other character (Amarant, Quina, Freya, and Vivi are all viable replacements).
Go down the stairway leading to the left to enter the town proper, and, to Zidane’s disbelief, all the townspeople have tails and hair just like he does. Take an immediate U-turn to the right and take the pathway that goes beneath the stairs (shown in the screenshot below).
Follow the pathway to the right side of the screen to find a treasure chest that contains a 
Flash Hat. The Flash Hat is a fairly powerful headpiece that Zidane should equip to begin teaching himself the 
Eye 4 Eye ability.
Return to the main town area and enter the building on the far left side of the screen. Zidane will mention that this looks like a good place for Dagger to get some rest.
A short cutscene will take place with Eiko asking everyone in town for medicine but getting no response. Go back inside the Inn once you are back in control of Zidane and grab the treasure chest at the back of the room for a free 
Elixir.
Enter the building just north of the Inn. Skip past all the creatures that look like Zidane casting a spell and go down the stairs. Examine the hole near the screen to find another Elixir hiding inside.
Exit the building through the exit on the east side of the room and enter the next building on the right. This area is the “Storage” room. Grab the treasure chest lying on the ground, which contains a 
Wing Edge.
Examine the moving pot on the far side of the room to release Moorock the Moogle. Select the Mognet option, and Moorock will provide you with a letter to Mozme. The Mogshop is full of new items, including:
Defender
Holy Lance
Bistro Fork
Adaman Hat
Platinum Helm
Platina Armor
Be sure to save your game before you leave the Storage Room. Leave the room and then re-enter to find that Stiltzkin has now arrived. Speak to him, and he will offer to sell you a 
Diamond, 
Ether, and Elixir for 2,222 gil.
Driving the Hard Bargain
Achievement/Trophy
You must purchase all the available items from Stiltzkin each time he appears to obtain the 
Driving the Hard Bargain Achievement/Trophy. This Achievement/Trophy is missable because you cannot return to some sections of the game to buy items that you have missed.
Exit the storage room and head left, back to the area outside the Inn. Explore the pool of water on the northern shore to find a pair of hidden 
Angel Earrings. Go back into the laboratory and speak to the Mysterious Girl in red in the basement. Follow her when she goes back up the stairs.
After some more dialogue with the Mysterious Girl,you will regain control of the game as Eiko. Feel free to watch the Active Time Event if you wish (it involves Quina meeting up with Zidane and discussing the large stone in the laboratory).
More ATEs appear as you wander around town in control of Eiko. Speak to each of the other party members as you find them to add them to your party (Quina, Vivi, and Amarant).
Movie Critic
Achievement/Trophy
There are a total of four ATEs that become available when you gain control of Eiko. One that you can view once you first gain control of her (“Place to Call Home”), one that becomes available when you exit the Inn (“Where The Heart Is”), another one that you can watch if you travel to the right of the Inn (“Came Into The World”) and finally one which can be viewed in the area to the north into the Meeting Hall where Quina was (“The Truth”).
Make sure that you have watched all four ATEs if you intend to claim the 
Movie Critic Achievement/Trophy.
Go through the green light near where Amarant is standing and across the bridge. Follow the pathway and speak to the Mysterious Girl along the path to continue the story. The perspective returns to Zidane, who reappears at the gates leading to Pandemonium.
