Qu ' s Marsh The Qu ' s Marshes are the home of Qu , including Quina , and his / her master , Quale . They are exclusive to the world of Gaia in " Final Fantasy IX " . There are four Qu ' s Marshes in Gaia : One on the Mist Continent , one on the Outer Continent , and two on the Forgotten Continent . Apart from the Qu Clan , the marshes are inhabited by frogs , a Qu delicacy . The Mist Continent marsh has a hidden tunnel called Fossil Roo that leads to the Outer Continent . If the player has Quina in the party when entering the part of the marsh where the frogs reside , they will be able to go frog catching . Each frog caught powers up Quina ' s Blue Magic spell , Frog Drop , and if the player collects enough frogs Quina will receive items . Catching 99 frogs will challenge Quina ' s master , Quale , who hands over Quina ' s ultimate weapon upon defeat . Qu ' s Marshes are home to two moogles , Mogster and his brother , previously seen in ATEs ; Mogster is on hand to answer any questions the player may have . Monsters also inhabit the swamplands , varying by location . List of marshes . Mist Continent . The marsh on the Mist Continent can be accessed the first time after leaving Lindblum on foot . Quina is found here catching frogs . In the Master ' s House Zidane and friends will find Quale . When Vivi notes he resembles his grandfather , Quan , Quale pretends not to know anything about him . Quale asks Zidane to take Quina with him on his quest so Quina can become a better gourmand . When Quina is in the party the player can play frog catching in the pond . After Lindblum has been destroyed Zidane and friends decide to venture to the Outer Continent and recruit Quina ' s help in finding the route to Fossil Roo and the entrance to a labyrinthine excavation site hidden in the marsh . Outer Continent . The frog pond on the Outer Continent is fragmentary with many small puddles .

After getting the " Blue Narciss " the player can return to the marsh as often as they like . Forgotten Continent mainland . The frog pond in the marsh on the mainland of the Forgotten Continent is one large pond .

As part of this chain of correspondence Kumool from Ipsen ' s Castle sends a letter to Mois , who has relocated to the entrance of Fossil Roo at the Mist Continent marsh , since his abode at the Ice Cavern became inhabitable . The letter the party delivers from Kumool to Mois : Mois in response sends a letter to Noggy at Daguerreo . Musical themes .
