I want to make a good useful FAQ for once instead of reading them. Want to help people, I have too much time on my hands. I MADE THIS IS AS SPOILER FREE AS POSSIBLE This is for the english version as for right now I only see 1 complete FAQ and its in a translated style so.... heres the American Version. !!!!Also, on a side note, to make things easier to find the temple you want for the cloister of trials, CTRL+F to bring up the find bar and put in "Cloister of Trials - " without quotations of course, this will narrow it down more making you find these temples faster plus I added the revisit to Zanarkand Ruins help!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [2.] THE CHARACTERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heres your introduction to the characters even though you meet everyone after the first hour or so. :::Tidus::: Thrown into the future of 1000 years by Sin and no way back, this young man travels to seek a way back, he meets up with interesting new characters along the way. He is a well known Blitzball player and he uses a sword to fight off fiends, 1 of 3 characters to fight underwater. Becomes Yunas guardien. -Manual Description: Tidus is a cheerful, rising blitzball star playing for the Zanarkand Abes . He has long hated his father, who was a renowned player himself before his untimely death. Tidus's quick moves allow him to attack even the swiftest foes. :::Wakka::: Wakka is a captain of a Blitzball team who hasn't won in forever. He is one of many of Yunas' guardians. He uses a blitzball to fight. His aim is awesome for airborn enemies and is also 2 of 3 characters fight underwater. -Manual Description: Coach and captain of the local blitzball team, the Besaid Aurochs. Wakka plans to retire from thje psort after this year's tournament, so that he can devote himself fully to serving as Yuna's Guardian. His deadly blitzball is especially useful for knocking down aerial enemies. :::Lulu::: Lulu's attack is basically trash, but she makes up for it in her deadly black magic power.Uses magic to attack and has a weakling little attack. She is a great asset for everyone. Another Guardian. Yes as you figured it, her chest hangs out. -Manual Description: One of Yuna's guardians. She and Wakka think of Yuna as a younger sister. Lulu's stoic and self-possessed nature makes her seem insensitive at times. She speciallizes in the art of black magic, using various dolls to help cast powerful spells. :::Yuna::: Final Fantasy X is revolved around this girl, without this girl there would be no story, she is the Summoner and basic healer of the group, armed with loads of Guardiens. She can get new summons by visiting new temples. Look in the Aeons section for more info.She also has a really bad attack hit, but heals most of the time. Cute too. -Manual Description: Daughter of High Summoner Braska. Honest and determined, Yuna embarks on a pilgrimage to obtain the Final Aeon and defeat Sin. Yuna is learning the mystical art of summoning aeons—powerful spirits of yore. :::Kimahri Ronso::: Kimahri is from a race called the Ronso, basically a big scarry wolf lookin dude. He is made fun of by his coligues because his horn is broken and he is shorter. He is fast and uses a lance to attack, ontop of that he can learn magic spells from other people like Aqua Breath which are used in his overdrive. [Yes, you guessed it.. Blue Magic] He is yet another Guardian. -Manual Description: A powerful warrior of the Ronso tribe. Kimahri has watched over Yuna from her youngeest days. He speaks little, but is deeply devoted to Yuna and serves her loyally as a guardian. Kimahri can learn enemy skills with his Lancet ability. :::Auron::: Auron is a big hitter and slow at that. He carries the sword abilities like Steiner in FF8, so he is very useful.

A man of few words, he guides Yuna and Tidus on their mission to vanquishSin once more. He swings his gigantic sword with such power that even the toughest fiends are cut asunder. :::Rikku::: From the Al Bhed race. Which speak an entirely different language. She VERY useful, even though her attack is something to question, her skills are great, she can only use certain items and can steal/mug them from enemies. Her overdrive allows you to mix 2 things together to make a more powerful item, or a really good item such as a Trio of 9999 [lets everyone hit 9999] or an Ultra Nul-all [Casts all the nul's on everyone + Focus's and Cheer's]. She can also take apart machines while stealing from them.... instantly killing them, usually those Al Bhed machines. -Manual Description: A young Al Bhed girl.

Forget about experience they have thrown that away, instead they replaced it with AP or Ability Points. When you get enough AP you will get 1 Sphere Level. To get AP you must battle monsters, which also leave Spheres, These spheres are used to boost your characters stats. To access the Sphere Board, hit the Triangle Button, and select Sphere Grid. A node is basically an empty sphere. Use a sphere level after you get one, move a space and then use a sphere, thats how easy it is. Also the sphere locks lets you permenantly destroy a node labeled Lvl 1, Lvl 2, and so on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Sphere Level = Move 1 node forward OR 4 nodes backward that you have been over. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each sphere contributes to certain empty nodes which are: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Power Sphere = HP, Attack, Defense Speed Sphere = Hit %, vade %, Agility Mana Sphere = MP, Magic Attack, Magic Defense Ability Sphere = White and Black Magic, Specials, Skills Lvl. 1-4 Lock Spheres = Removes Level Sphere Grid Locks Fortune Sphere = Luck Return Sphere = Returns any sphere you have been to Teleport Sphere = Teleports you to anywhere anyone else has Attribute Sphere = Activates a Stat ability someone else has Special Sphere = Activates a Special ability someone else has Skill Sphere = Activates a Skill ability someone else has W. Magic Sphere = Activates a Wht Magic ability someone else has B. Magic Sphere = Activates a Blk Magic ability someone else has Master Spehere = Activates a Any ability someone else has HP Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated HP node MP Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated MP node Strength Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated Strength node Defense Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated Defense node Magic Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated Magic node Magic Defense Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated M. Defense node Agility Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated Agility node Evasion Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated Evasion node Accuracy Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated Accuracy node Luck Sphere = Turns empty node into an unactivated Luck node Clear Sphere = Empties node Friend Sphere = Teleports you to where another character is Warp Sphere = Takes you to ANY node That is alot of spheres, huh? Well look out for these as most of them are hidden all over Spira, in chests, monsters, shops. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [6.] THE STORYLINE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well I guess I have to write this since some people want to know about the game in advance so....... Final Fantasy X takes place in a city called Zanarkand where a very popular Blitzball player, Tidus, will be playing a tournament against many other teams. During the blitzball game, it is violently interrupted as a huge monster emerged from the sea known as Sin. Sin throughout the story is said to be mans' punishment to using 'machina' or more simply called machines. As Tidus is about to land a Sphere Shot doing his stuff, he sees this monster as it starts to hurl fireballs and destruction all around. Amongst the chaos he sees Auron, who leads him out of the town, where you face monsters and a Sin Spawn which is left by Sin. As Auron and Tidus destroy this Tidus leaps to save his life where he is about to fall but Auron helps him and he is engulfed in a swirling cloud. He wakes up in ruins 1000 years into the future, he goes to a temple looking thing and is attacked by a big fish which of course is way too powerful but after a couple of hits Tidus runs. He builds a fire and during the night he is attacked, during the fight a woman, later called Rikku after you progress will meet up with you helping you. She will capture you and take you aboard the Al Bhed ship. You must get an old ship working which will be explained in the walthrough. You encounter Sin again and this time wake up near an island known as Besaid, where a group of people are playing Blitzball. Later he meets the other character who are in the Besaid Temple. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [7.] BLITZBALL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blitzball is a game you will find all over Spira not to mention a tournament you will be participating in later in the game. Alot of people play this, to play tournaments or leagues by yourself you can just activate it on the save sphere, just select "Play Blitzball".... now for the help. Well Blitzball is very complicated and is better if you have the tutorial which you will get before the big tournament in Luca with Wakka, after that you may access it any time in the menu. But you wont need to know anything about blitzball until that point because all the blitzball stuff will be played automatically or by movies. Okay for game starts there is 3 different types. League, Tournament, and Exhibition League and tournament are the only things you can go into and get EXP, Exhibition is for practice matches. Select any to play it really doesnt matter, you will probably keep your same team until you run across good players, I will give you a few players I have found to be good: Rin, Wedge, Brother, Jasseu. Be careful, the people will require contracts to play and the only way to renew them is to pay a few of GIL. Now selecting characters comes in, you may choose 6 characters, 2 fowards, left and right sides, 2 defenders left and right sides, a middle fielder who gets the all at Blitzoff, and of Course the Goalie. Usually defenders should have high speed, very good attack power [AT], and good passing power[PA]. This prevents them from getting close enough to take a big shot at you. For the 2 Forwards try to get them a good shot [SH] and endurance [EN] to withstand most attacks until you can take a shot. I automatically put Tidus on the right forward because usually alot of bad people guard there. For the middle fielder pick a good passer [PA], VERY good endurance [EN] to get the ball off. Last but not least the goalie, pick someone with lots of Catching [CA] power which will block other attacks. Confirm this section and goto the next, which is Tech selection. Only at LVL 3 you will gain ability to set a Tech, Tidus already comes wiith Sphere Shot, and if you completed the little Jecht Shot thing on the ship you will have that. Anyways Techs are basically special abilities which can allow you to shoot a swirvy ball makign it harder for goalies to catch to tackling people and knocking them out or poisoning them, thats all there is to it. Confirm this section and now you get to set people to people like guards if you will. This is how you get new TECHS, mark anyone you like who is a challenge, or not just to learn the abilities which is quite handy. You are now ready to play. Play some games and you will get the JIST of it. During the game you must press TRIANGLE to control your characters, or to set the waypoint mode, which is the thing we just did. A message [after lvl 3] will appear if you put guard a person or follow them, it will say tech copy and PRESS X up in the corner. Doing this will enable you to learn it or, if you are too low of a level you will not, if you miss the oppertuny you will miss the abilitys. Getting abilities is a must , this will be the only way to survive. You can actually get his by status effects in this game which lower your stats or do something greatly unappreciated. Wither effects a certain part of your stats, Poison rapidly drops your hp, Sleep knocks out a guy until he wakes up, these are some of the status effects. The only way to counter is to learn Anti-Venom/2 and Anti-Wither/2 and so on. I hope this gives you some understanding, I tried to give you an intro to it. *NEW* - I added the Blitzball Tech List and what it is for you. -------------------------------- i. Tech Setup/Explanations -------------------------------- Heres a section on what the different abilities do and where they are on the chart so if you ever get Tech Find for the League.

First of all Aeons are like the monsters of the past Final Fantasy's if you haven't played them, they are based on Mythilogical creatures. They use to be called Guadian Forces, Espers, Summons in the past games. When they switched to FF9, I guess they liked the Aeon bit. Anyways in FFX Aeons are creatures which you can control like any regular character. The difference is, Aeons are immune to all status effects. They can heal themselves through they're type: E.G. Ifrit is fire so if you cast fire on himself he will heal. That is the best way not to make him learn cure spells. Also they have 2 other commands which you should learn: Shield: Takes a significant amount of damage down but Overdrive charges slow Boost: Takes more damage and "boosts" your Overdrive up quite a bit These are very valuable in keeping them alive. That and the healing technique. ======================================================================= NAME: Valefor TEMPLE: Besaid Temple UNIQUE ATTACK: Sonic Wings UNIQUE ATTACK EFFECT: Short recovery time, delay's enemy's attack OVERDRIVE: Energy Ray OVERDRIVE2: Energy Blast OVERDRIVE EFFECT: Deals Damage to All Enemies OVERDRIVE2 EFFECT: Deals Major Damage to All Enemies ACCESSED BY: Praying at Besaid Temple EXCEDES 9999 DAMAGE BY: Getting Yuna's Ultimate Weapon [Nirvana] -------------- | MAGIC | |Fire: 4 MP| |Blizzard: 4 MP| |Thunder: 4 MP| |Water: 4 MP| -------------- To get Valefor's second Overdrive, talk to the little girl with a dog, she will be near the temple or in the item shop.

Basically in each temple there is a Cloister of Trials which houses puzzles and a Destruction Sphere. Each Destruction Sphere is in all the temples. Get all of them and it will reward you later on. ——————— Examine the Glyph on the wall and watch it open the door, Go down the stairs and view the glyph with the sphere under it. Grab the glowing Glyph Sphere from the holder & go down the stairs. Put it in the door and then take the sphere back out. Keep going till you see a holder on the left, put it in to reveal a sphere. Don't take it just yet and go down the hall, examine the words to reveal a glyph. Touch the glyph and go into the hidden area. Take the Besaid Sphere and put it into a pedestal and a new glyph should appear. Examine the glyph again and a hidden area comes up. Take the sphere and push the Pedestal into the next room but not all the way and insert the Besaid Sphere. Now go get the Destruction Sphere, return to the area where the Besaid Sphere was with all those lines and put it in. An area opens up with a treasure, take it to recieve a Rod of Wisdom. Now push the pedestal in until it locks. Alot of work eh? Well these are important, these are where you will get your aeons or summons. Next go into the door and you meet up with alot of new characters. Name the Aeon whatever. Then just talk to everyone until you appear back into the temple main lobby place. Then return into the town. Watch the next event. You will learn how to use Aeons soon, just use them like a regular person, accept to return to your regular party press RIGHT where the main screen is and goto Dismiss. Heal them at Spheres. Go talk to Yuna and then Wakka. Once you wake up goto the lodge and check the front for Al Bhed Primer Vol. II(2). Buy some potions so you have atleast 10+. Go outside and talk to Wakka, he will give you a cool lookin sword with like water in it. It is called the Brotherhood.

Keep walking and one of Yuna's Guardians will like go crazy on you. ================================================ BATTLE: Kimahri HP: 750 MP: 10 AP: 3 GIL: 100 STEAL: Nothing WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: 2 Ability Sphere Attack with normal hits till you run low then just heal with a potion don't use alot of potions though. Take some damage, unleash your Overdrive whenever it fills and you will be fine. ================================================ Yay! New party member Kimahri added to the growing list and you will get tutorials and stuff. Go till you reach the boat. Talk to everyone and they will all give you items. Get on and lets head out. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: S.S. L'iki ITEMS: 6 Potion, Remedy KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. III(3) MONSTERS: Sinscale :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Speak to Wakka, and head downstairs and look for O'aka he is a very good merchant indeed if you know how to use him, if you invest alot he will sell things cheaper than shops and possibly rare items... if you give him a tiny bit he will sell high. Pick whichever you can. Go into the room where everyone is [left of O'aka] in their is the Al Bhed Primer Vol. III(3) Return to the top of the ship After resting or just exploring the ship go to where tthe Blitzball team is Talk to the Blitzball team, and check everything out. After you’re done taking a break, make sure you have lots of Potions and Pheonix Downs. great. It is in the Power Room. After that, head on deck and talk to Yuna. Sin will appear again [He seems to like you huh?] . Get ready for a fight too. After the crew harpoons Sin, your taken into battle. ================================================ BOSS: Sin/Sinscales HP: Sin: 2000/Sinscales: 200 MP: Sin: 100/ GIL(TOTAL): 100 + 22 for every sinscale AP: Sin: 10/Sinscales: 2 STEAL: Nothing WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: Mana Sphere Argh, Sin is at it again, If you want lots of AP just sit there and keep killing Sinscales for 2 ap a piece, if Tidus has learned Cheer, use it. Try to get everyone to hit atleast 1 time in the battle, Break out Tidus, Wakka, Lulu. Now have Tidus focus in on the Sinscales and have Lulu and Wakka concentrate on Sin, now if anyone gets low on health switch with Lulu and bring Yuna in and have her cast Cure. Or if you like summon Valefor, which would be easier, just use Thunder on everything since your in the water and it conducts electricity and when its overdrive fills use energy blast. It should be pretty straight forward. ================================================ After that I hope you packed the Potions and whatnot. After the harpoon breaks off Wakka goes in after Tidus and they find themselves in yet ANOTHER battle. Accept only with Tidus and Wakka since those are the only 2 right now to fight underwater. ================================================ BOSS: Sinspawn Echuilles HP: 2000 MP: 20 AP: 12 GIL: 115 STEAL: Nothing WEAKNESS: Darkness Attacks ITEMS: 2 Ability Sphere ================================================ Okay with only 2 characters this might be hard, but its up to you. First use Cheer, if you dont have it, potions will come in handy, but I recommend you learn it soon. Use Wakka's Darkness Attack to blind it so you dont have to heal much. This is only temporary since itso only 3 turns where it will take place. Normal attacks are good. Ignore the Pirahna. Yes we know they are cheap losers but hey what can you do. Just ignore them and heal with those potions you SHOULD of bought :). Heal whenever. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Kilika ITEMS: 3 Potion, Ether, Elixer, 2 Mana Sphere, Remedy, NulBlaze Shield, Scout, Hi-potion, Luck Sphere, Red Armlet KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. IV(4) MONSTERS: Ragora, Dinonix, Yellow Element, Killer Bee :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: After you regain control, just follow the characters to the left and watch as Yuna "sends" the departed spirits. Lulu will explain to you more about this. Grab the Al Bhed Primer Vol. IV(4) in the bar. Now goto the east part of Kilika, Wakka will be supervising some people working. Now head west again until you get to Kilika Forest and you will get into a tutorial battle again. They will talk about Kimahri's Lancet ability which lets him learn other characters moves like Blue Magic, start off by using it on the plants to get Seed Cannon. Now its time to fight Lord Ochu! I recommend fighting this monster as it gives alot of AP which you NEED. ================================================ BOSS: Lord Ochu HP: 4649 MP: 39 AP: 40 GIL: 420 STEAL: Nothing WEAKNESS: Fire ITEMS: MP Sphere/Hp Sphere This battle is pretty simple, use fire magic, Haste everyone that can use magic, [e.g. Lulu, Yuna] Summon Valefor if you like, Use Wakka to silence lord ochu with Silence Attack for 3 turns. When he gets down to like 2000 hp he will start to use earth quake, if that happens summon Valefor and just use his magic and OverDrive and Sonic Wings, then thats done. Easy 40 AP. ================================================ After that talk to one of the guys and they will give you an Elixer. Go east and get the treasure which contains 2 Mana Spheres. Continue North, on till you race to the top and save first or you will regret it. ================================================ BOSS: Sinspawn Geneaux HP: Body: 3000 / Tentacles: 450 HP: 4649 MP: 30 AP: 53 GIL: 300 STEAL: Nothing WEAKNESS: Fire ITEMS: 2 Power sphere Okay, this one is sort of easy, first take out the tentacles with physical attacks, they absorb magic, as they do most of the damage for now. After those are gone just aim the body with Fire magic, Physical Attacks, summon Valefor if you like. Use Yuna to heal if you get a chance. Kimahri is good to way to pierce through its armor. Beat it and take your prize of 53 AP. Save and go up. ================================================ You see the Luca Goers [Blitzball Team] , Wakka's rival, and you get into a dispute. Go into the temple. After you can move again try to go out and another summoner will come in and shove you into the Cloiser of Trials to try to get Yuna in trouble. Jeez another Cloister of Trials.... more work for me, a new Aeon for you :) ######### Cloister of Trials - Kilika Temple ######### Take the Kilika Sphere from the pedestal on the left and place it into the door. This will burn down the door. Grab that sphere again to extinguish the fire and go through the door. Put the Kilika Sphere into the spot on the Northern wall, A new glyph should appear. Now take the Kilika Sphere and put it into the slot on the side. Touch the glyph to open the wall. Now take the Glyph Sphere and set it on one of the holders. Go into the new room and step on the shiny square in the next room to make the pedestal appear in that room. Now take the Kilika Sphere to the right of that room and place it into the pedestal. Now go into the other room and grab the Glyph sphere and insert it where the Kilika Sphere was, now push the pedestal onto the shiny thing and it will sink into the ground. Go down the stairs and take the Kilika Sphere from below and place it into the slot next to the exit. Now go into the secret area you just uncovered before and grab the Destruction Sphere and take it down stairs and use it in the new slot below the ledge. Go in and grab the Red Armlet. Now take the sphere next to the burning door and walk through. Now you are in the summoning area, just talk to Wakka and other people and try to leave and she will come out, now you got Ifrit and are ready to unleash Hellfire. Return to Kilika... if you are bored level a couple sphere levels up. Go back to where your old ship was and leave. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: S.S. Winno ITEMS: None KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. V(5) MONSTERS: None :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Go see your old friend O'aka and lend him some more cash. Leave some for yourself, dont go too broke. Go into the control room and grab the Al Bhed Primer Vol. V(5) which is laying in the middle of the floor. Go up and goto the front of the boat to hear the Luca Goers talking to Yuna. Then goto the top part of the boat, and listen to what Lulu and Wakka are arguin about. Go up around 3 to 4 times until they stop chatting. Save and go inspect the Blitzball. Time to learn the Jecht Shot mark I he was talking about [you cannot get the 3rd one only mark I and II, his father was the only one able to do it] this will teach you the first one. In blitzball it takes out 2 Defenders and +5 to stats. the 2nd one takes out 3 defenders, +5 to stats, makes ball invisible in shot so its harder to hit. Read the tutorial, wherever the words appear use that direction on the analog and hit x, if it appears in the middle just press X, complete it to gain it. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: LOCATION: Luca ITEMS: 2 Hi-Potion, Tidal Spear, 1600 gil, 2 Phoenix Downs, Magic Sphere HP Sphere KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. VI(6), Al Bhed Primer Vol. VII(7) MONSTERS: Sahagin Chief, Worker, Vouivre, Garuda :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: When you gain control head to the right and save then head to the right again to meet the "Meisters" they are like World Leaders. Now you are about to play blitzball, yay! After the last event you will be taken to the locker room in preperation for the big Tournament. During this time Yuna claims to have saw Auron somewhere, first leave, and go down the stairs and goto where the other Blitzball players are. Near one of the plays is the Al Bhed Primer Vol. VI(6), and a treasure chest in the back with 2 Hi-potions, also search the decks around the town as most people will give you items for free...leave the blitzball stadium and find Yuna, go into the Sphere Theater talk to everyone. Then go to the red arrow, until you get to a place where there is a long strip and a guy on the right. Goto the right if you want to buy armor and take the stairs on the right , keep going up till you get 1000 gil. Go into the pub until Kimahri gets into a fight then Yuna is missing. Dang Al Bhed are kidnapping your summoner! Follow the red arrow once again to Dock 1, to 3, all the way to 4, you have little machina trying to attack you use Thunder to blast em away. Keep going until you get into a fight with multiple machina without a break.... destroy them all. Watch Wakka on the tournament display.... after that event. You will get on the Al bhed ship. Dun dun....... Boss ================================================ BOSS: Oblitzerator HP: 6000 MP: 10 AP: 36 GIL: 580 STEAL: Nothing WEAKNESS: Thunder/Halves all other magic ITEMS: Elixer The easiest thing to do is.... cast Haste if you have it on everyone [Lulu] first, first have Tidus try to work with the controls by pressing LEFT and he suggests to give the thing a boost of power. Use Lulu's Thunder on it until it starts running by itself, until then just have Kimahri and Tidus plung away attacking. Once it starts running by itself have Tidus mess with the controls by using the trigger command and then it rips it off for like 5000 damage which greatly damages it, it also keeps it from attacking so..... you have it easy until you destroy it. ================================================ -The Tournament- When you return to the locker room, Watch the event with Wakka, before talking to him when hes laying down, save at the Save Sphere. Review the blitzball tutorial if needed by talkin to one of the guys. Talk to Wakka and you are ready to go. This is a tough battle, if you have the Jecht Shot use it. If not it will be hard. Win or lose it doesn't effect the game any so take it off your chest. After that Luca will be swarming with fiends for some reason. You meet up with Auron which is a heavy hitter right now! After the game, Wakka gives you a thumbs up for trying so hard. All of a sudden, you’re attacked! Get up and fight! These guys are no problem, of course, so use your Dark Attack and Normal Attack. When they all annihilated, you finally see Auron who will join you. Still use Wakka, Tidus, and use Auron now since he has a big hit which effects armored things. After 2 or 3 fights Meister Seymour will summon his Aeon which is very powerful, you will learn the name of this Aeon soon. The aeon seems to be killing all the monsters, hurray Meister Seymour comes out the new hero in Luca. Before leaving go get the Al Bhed Primer Vol. VII(7) at the Sphere Theater. Follow the Red Arrow on the mini-map go up and Auron will explain some VERY interesting news, make sure you pay attention, he will then join Yuna as her guardian :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Mi'ihen Road ITEMS: 9 Hi Potion, Hunters Spear, 6 Antidote, 2 Lvl. 1 Key Sphere, Red Ring, 4000 gil, Ice Brand, 3 Remedy, 2 Ether, 3 Soft, 3 Eye Drops, 4 Mega-Potion, Thunder Blade, Scout, Fortune Sphere, 2 Phoenix Down, Tough Bangle, X-Potion, 10 Potion, Serene Armlet, Serene Bracer KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. VIII(8), IX(9), and X(10) MONSTERS: Funguar, Raldo, Bomb, Mi'hen Fange, White Element, Floating Eye, Dual Horn, Vouivre, Thunder flan, Ipiria, Red Element, Lamashtu, Raptor, Gandarewa, Garuda :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: NOTE: Some monsters are hard in this area, for instance Dual Horns which are a pain in this part of the game, you can either use Wakka's Dark Attack or [I haven't seen in any other faq or explanation] Summon Valefor they only use physical attacks and so they cannot hit him since he is a flyer. Others are easy just use their counterpart magic IE. Bombs destroyed by Blizzard because they are Fire As you see the Save Sphere, Go up to it and PRESS X, it will upgrade your Save Sphere to a Lvl 2. , that means you can play Blitzball just activating the Save Sphere Option! Also to hire people press the SQUARE button next to them. Anyways.... talk to EVERYONE you see on this road they give tons of good items, there are lots of treasures too, if you see a curve to the right or left, in the minimap, check it out for most likely there is a treasure there, sure to talk to every single person that you see. Just Continue down the road talking to everyone till you get to the Chocobo Knights, then soon you will meet Belgimine, this chick will battle you with Aeons, so make sure Yuna level is up and the overdrive. If you win you will reciever an Echo Ring, Lose you get a Seeker's Ring. Win or Lose continue down the road. Continue the road for along ways, behind a Chocobo Knight is a Remedy, and when you come up to a Blitzball dont kick it, talk to the kid first and he will reward you with 3 Softs for finding it, then kick it. Keep going till a Chocobo type carrier car comes by, talk to one of the guys there and he will hand over an Ether. Keep going until you get the last treasure which is 3 Eye Drops. Next screen you will see a stop area, you will decide to stop soo.. go inside and freshen up, a boss battle is coming around in a few mintues, so be well equipped and leveled up. Anyways before heading out, talk to one of the people in the store and he will give you a LVL 1 KEY SPHERE which will come in handy. SAVE!!!! [IMPORTANT] and you will meet Rin [who is a semi-good blitzball player, you can't put him on your team until you get the temporary airship/permenant airship] he is an Al Bhed and has a big franchise of rest areas around Spira he will also give you your Al Bhed Primer Vol. VIII(8). Leave and the Chocobo's are being terrorized by a fat thingy. Boss battle. ================================================ BOSS: Chocobo Eater HP: 10,000 MP: 5 AP: 135 GIL: 970 STEAL: Potion WEAKNESS: Fire ITEMS: 2 Lvl. 1 Key Sphere NOTE: DO NOT LET IT KNOCK YOU BACKWARDS FROM WHERE YOU PREVIOUSLY STARTED OR YOU WILL RECIEVE NOTHING (IE. AP) This dude is hard. First off get Tidus, Wakka, Auron in your party. Auron should Power Break it. Have Tidus use Cheer and Wakka use Dark Attack. Switch Auron off for Lulu. Have Lulu cast Fira [if not use Fire, I suggest getting Fira, Watera, Thundera, and Blizzara after]. Have Tidus cast Haste on Lulu. Switch off Wakka for Auron, until Chocobo Eaters Blind wears off, then switch him back in to do Dark Attack again. Also when its on its back summon an Aeon with full OverDrive to do more damage. Dismiss it before Chocobo Eater kills it. Repeat until defeated. ================================================ If you lose [Get pushed all the way back and fall off the cliff, just hit the RESET button] you will regret it because you have to hike along ways, if you win your in luck, Rin lets you rent a Chocobo for free for now! So head back to the rest stop. Save and talk to the lady and you get to ride one. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE Al Bhed Primer Vol. IX(9) If you want some extra items and the MARS SIGIL [used in part to powerup the Ultimate Weapons] do this.... find the Chocobo Feather and press X on it while on the Chocobo, here you will get a Scout and a Thunder Plains, continue and talk to Lucil, a member of the Chocobo Knights, go South of O'aka to get the Mars Sigil. Anyways return to the gates of Mushroom Rock, talk to everyone to learn more about what they are doing. Donations are a waist of cash but if you want to go ahead. 1st choice you get a Scout, Second you an Ice Lance, and if you spent your life leveling up and/or you have gameshark, you can get a Moon Ring for Yuna. When you can't access Maester Seymour will come and grant you access. Go through the event and talk to everyone, get the items and head out. Follow the Red Arrow. Save and continue, this trail is harsh and tiring because you run into alot of enemies that are anoying :). There is also weird lookin ground, press X to go up to the next area. Once you reach an object at the end with a Save Sphere. Save and Level Up for a bit and save when you get low on HP/MP or if your Aeons have died. After Head up. Continue pass the forbidden machina and save at the Save Sphere on the next screen. You decide his fate. If you choose him to fight sin he will die and his companion will live, choose to fight Sin and he will die and his friend will live. Talk to them about there plans. Before talking to the guy go Save and talk to the guy all the way to the right. Tell him your ready. The plan goes wrong [of course] and it attacks you ================================================ BOSS: Sinspawn Gui HP: HEAD: 4,000 / BODY: 12,000 / ARMS: 800 MP: 30 AP: only until second battle GIL: 0 STEAL: Potion WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: None This guy is not that hard. Summon Aeons and overdrive it to kill arms and maybe the head. If not use Wakka to take out the head and Auron and Tidus to take out the head. It will use Venom once in a while cure with Esuna, I recommend Ifrit for part of this as he is immune to status effects and his overdrive is good if you leveled up Yuna. It regenerates it arms and its arms protect its body so thats your #1 target, #2 is the head, #3 is the body. He should die soon. Time consuming. ================================================ Watch the next event that is sadening, and that Sinspawn Gui STILL isn't dead! ================================================ BOSS: Sinspawn Gui HP: HEAD: 1,000 / BODY: 6,000 / ARMS: 800 MP: 30 AP: 1,514 GIL: 1,000 STEAL: Potion WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: None Seymour joins your party just cast his spells and its dead, really easy. ================================================ You get 6 LVL 1 KEY SPHERES, Inspect everyone but the guy who who was at the gate, hes in the top left. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Djose Highroad ITEMS: Soft Ring, Variable Steel, 3 Hi Potion, 4000 gil, Remedy, 2 Ether, Mega-Potion, 2 Phoenix Down, 3 Bright Bangle, 4 Ability Sphere, 10 Potion, Switch Hitter, Magic Sphere, Halberd KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. XI(11) MONSTERS: Bite Bug, Funguar, Basilisk, Garm, Bunyip, Ganderewa :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Talk to all the people to recieve a gift of some sort. Theirs a chest with a Pheonix Down, and there is a spiky rock, search behind it for an Al Bhed Primer Vol. XI(11). Fight those big Cobra looking things with arms [Basalisks] to stock up on Ability Spheres. Summon Ifrit. Also Kimahri can learn Stone Breath using Lancet from these guys. When you go north on the east side their is a small crevace type place with a chest get it for a Bright Bangle. Keep going. Go RIGHT to the next screen until you see a bridge with alot of people. Continue and save at the Save Sphere infront of the temple. Behind the Inn is a chest with 4 Ability Spheres, to the west of the entrance there is 4,000 gil. You are interduced to a new summoner, Isaaru, anyways after that. Head to the left and pick up an Ether and goto the right and pick up the Remedy, then go up the middle and time for a trial that took me forever to figure out, then how to get the Destruction Sphere. Anyways here we go.... ######### The Cloister of Trials - Djose Temple ######### Take both spheres from the side walls and insert them both into the door. Head through the door, Take a sphere next to the door and put it into the either slot on the far right side. Take the other and insert that into the other hole on the right side. Now the pedestal on the ceiling should light up. Push the pedestal in the middle of the room to the right, right under where that pedestal is to charge the sphere and make it super shiny. Take the charged up sphere and place it to the right of the door. This should open it. Step on the floor glyph thats shining to the left. Take the 2 spheres from the right of the room and put them on both sides of the pedestal. Push the pedestal into the lightning pit and hop across. Push the Pedestal so it goes inward and light on the eyeball of the bird thing lights up. Go back and step on the shiny floor glyph to the left again and take the 2 spheres from it and put them all the way back to where you took the first 2 spheres to open the door. Put both of them in each slot. So the whole thing should be lit up accept the head. Take the charged sphere and place it to the left of the door. The door should seal but it creates a floor lift to the top level. Once up their push all 5 of the pedestals inward [2 are hidden on the very right and left], a door to stairs should open up, STOP RIGHT THERE. Ride to the lower level again. Goto where the shiny floor glyph that resets the pedestal is, dont step on it but a new glyph should appear infront of it. Press X up to the glyph and Touch It, It should lead you to a Destruction Sphere. Now take that sphere and ride to the top. Put it into the pedestal and grab the treasure. And then go up the stairs. Talk to everyone multiple times, then attempt to leave. Then that other summoner that pushed you down the Cloister of Trials is there. You recieve a new aeon Ixion, thunder based. In the morning wake up and grab the Switch Hitter from the treasure chest. Go outside the inn and go inside the temple. Keep going and slap Yuna awake (hehe just kidding), she wakes up and rushes to get ready... well time to head out. Talk to all the people walking out to recieve items, go north to start the Moonflow Path, yay. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: The Moonflow ITEMS: 6 Lvl. 1 Key Sphere, X-Potion, Magic Defense Sphere, 2 Phoenix down, 5000 gil, Ether, Mega-Potion, 4 Antidote, 2 Dragon Scales KEY ITEMS: Summoner's Soul, Al Bhed Primer Vol. XII(12) MONSTERS: Ochu, Garm, Bite Bug, Bunyip, Snow Flan, Gandarewa, Funguar :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: NOTE: You fight lots of Ochu's here so bust out Ifrit. Go north and talk to Shelinda, after talking to her go behind her to pick up 3 Lvl 1 Key Spheres, go straight again and watch some Ronso try to hurt Kimahri's feelings (hang in there Kimahri!). Grab the X-potion and move keep moving and there is some more Lvl. 1 Key Spheres in some cracks in the side, just grab them. Keep going and talk to people and then you meet up with Belinda again. She wants to battle ya, so be prepared. Try to get in battle with OVERDRIVE as usual. Summon someone like Ifrit for Ixion, use Valefor if that fails of course. Win and get Summoner's Soul, which allows you to teach Abilities to your Aeons through items. If you win you get two Dragon Scales, if you lose she will not give you them so..... move on. Keep moving till you see trees and you can move inbetween some of them to get a Magic Defense Sphere. Move on to get the SHOOPUFS! They are swimming elephant thingies. Grab the 2 Phoenix Down and buy some stuff from O'aka since the shop here likes to raise it high. Anyways go north west of Auron, grab the chest inside the house for 5000 gp. Save and talk to the dude that looks like T for a head and body hes blue, can't miss him. While you are on the shoopuf you get attack... -plays battle music- ================================================ BOSS: Extractor HP: 4,000 MP: 10 AP: 660 GIL: 2,400 STEAL: Nothing WEAKNESS: Thunder ITEMS: Mega Pheonix This is easy, just attack it with all you have, haste if necessary. Use potions if you fall in the yellow. Try to get the Lightningstrike ability for either of there weapons or have Wakka use Element Reels and try to get all the yellow circles [lightning] to power it up. Hit it with the Blitzball if it gets ready to do depth charges. He should be done in soon. ================================================ Talk to O'aka. Take the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XII(12), buy some supplies from him as you may need them later on.... supplies or not save and go west. There is also another good Blitzball player I have found called Miyu Guado. As you contine west.... WHO'S THAT IN THE SUIT?! Its that person from the start of the game. After the next event. They give a tutorial on how to steal and use the Mix OVERDRIVE. Use will enable her to use the stuff she has stolen or won. Follow the path. On the left there should be a Mega-Potion and on the right 3 Antidotes. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Guadosalam ITEMS: 2 Hi-Potion, 8 Lightning Marble KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIII(13) MONSTERS: None :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: As soon as you enter an event will occur and you will beable to customize weapons (take items and mod them into an ability to add to a weapon/armor). If you like you can add Darkproof or Poisonproof if you have enough items, to prevent you from future poisons or whatever. First goto the top left house left of Seymours Place and the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIII(13) is. Next goto the INN, Save or Buying items from the shop and whatever you need [O'aka carries cheaper things than the guado shop]. Goto the middle top of Guadosalam, that is Seymours place. Go in and climb the stairs and on the top there are 2 Hi-Potions. Talk to everyone and see what they have to say. After these next events get out of the house and goto the top where there is a guy guarding it. Continue on the path and stick to the left where there is a hidden chest with 8 Lightning Marbles. Continue onto the path and you will goto a place where spirits feed off your thoughts to make an image. This is the farplane. Talk to Wakka, Lulu, then Yuna. After this event your Brotherhood will be upgraded. Continue back and Yuna will be inside that house you were earlier. Talk to Lulu and then Rikku. After that goto the shop and Kimahri will come out. Talk to Lulu yet again. After Yuna is done trying to find Maester Seymour, leave through the left exit. Now you are onto the Thunder Plains. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Thunder Plains ITEMS: 2 Phoenix Down, 2 Hi-Potion, 7000 gil, Water Ball, Yellow Shieldn, X-Potion, Ether, Remedy KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIV(14) MONSTERS: Aerouge, Qactuar, Larva, Iron Giant, Melusine, Kusariqqu, Gold Element, Buer :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: When you enter take a left and grab the 2 Pheonix Downs out of the treasure chest. Okay, well this is pretty straight forward, when you see a flash of lightning press X fast and you will dodge it, prizes are given to consecutive dodges/hits, check the minigames/sidequests chapter. Save at the save sphere, and keep going. If you see a Qactuar Stone glow press Square up to it. This will let you get into random battles with Qactuar that give a fair amount of AP, but have a very high evade. My suggestion is use Wakka to use AIM on everyone a couple of times. Then unleash, watch out for its 1,000 needles attack. Keep walking and they will decide to go into a Rest Stop. Take a rest, save or whatever. Talk to Rikku, and Rin will come in, choose the going good option to get the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIV(14). There is also a book on the counter that talks about Qactuar Stones. Goto where Yuna went, and go into the room, I wonder whats shes up to. When you get outside search for a Yellow Shield. Get back the the path and take a right. Keep going and eventually Yuna has something to tell you guys, look around for an Ether behind a building. After you regain control keep going and their should be a Save Sphere up above. This is where you level up, the Iron Giants give a GENEROUS amount of AP, good for leveling up. Try to have the Firaga, Waterga, etc. learned very soon. And have Tidus going for Hastega, and whatever you want on other characters. Gain like 10+ sphere levels if you like, but it will help soon, move on. Look out for more treasures as they are along the path. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Macalania ITEMS: Sleepy Cait Sith, 7400 gil, 3 Phoenix Down, MP Sphere, 3 Remedy, Mega-Potion, Shell Targe, Ether, 2 Hi-Potion, 2 X-potion, Luck Sphere, Lvl. 1 & 2 Key Spheres. KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. XV(15), and XVI(16), Jecht Sphere MONSTERS: Chimera, Murussu, Wasp, Blue Element, Xiphos, Snow Wolf, Ice Flan, Mafdet, Evil Eye :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: If you leveled up you will be fine, if not these battles may be hard. Chimera will use Megiddo Flame [sound familiar huh? yup, Omega Weapon used this in Final Fantasy 8, but this one doesnt do 9998 damage. Anyways head up the log and follow the path to the left to find a Sleepy Cait Sith. Be sure to get all the treasures in this area as there is a significant amount. Look for them. Continue and you will meet a creature who will tell you about the Butterfly Catcher game. You can accept or just pass this over for now. IF you accept, Goto the Butterfly Catcher section in the Minigames/Sidequests section. Contine till you see... O'aka! Talk to him and tell him his prices are too high and he will give you some discounts. Across from him is a hidden Al Bhed Primer Vol. XV(15). Make sure no one has any Lightningstrikes or Waterstrikes or anything on their weapons, as this next fight might HEAL the monster. Continue until Auron cuts through the brush and you come to a cool area. But not for long.... ================================================ BOSS: Spherimorph HP: 12,000 MP: 100 AP: 3,420 GIL: 4,000 STEAL: Ether WEAKNESS: Element Changes ITEMS: Lvl. 2 Key Sphere I had an Overdrive on my Aeons, This is how I did it, keep attacking and it will cast a spell on you, if its Thunder that means he absorbs Thunder. So memorize his patterns and when he gets to firing Blizzard or Water.... BUST OUT Ifrit fast for Blizzard and use his Overdrive or Ixion for water, if you leveled up their Overdrive should do 9999. Keep doing this and it will die. Or have Lulu cast some spells on it, it will change its element each time, just phyiscal attack it to get its spell type and do the opposite. It should die soon. ================================================ After that it will leave behind a Jecht Sphere which will tell you about Jecht's [Tidus's father] time on Spira and how he was stranded. The Jecht Sphere will also give Auron a new Overdrive called "Shooting Star" this will kick some enemies out of battle, or a decent amount of damage. Continue on, looking for treasures, until you come to a rest stop. There will be the Al Bhed Primer XVI(16) next to Clasko, the Chocobo Knight guy. Talk to him and he will ask your opinion on if he should change his carrier. I chose him to be a breeder. Be sure to save in the INN. Yuna will go off with a Guado, and will be attacked... ================================================ BOSS: Crawler HP: Crawler: 16,000 / Negator: 1000 MP: Crawler: 1 / Negator: 1 AP: 4950 GIL: 7,300 STEAL: Lunar Curtain from Crawler, Hi-Potion from Negator WEAKNESS: Thunder ITEMS: Elixer Yay another boss. First attack the floating thing [use WAKKA] that is the Negator. Which disables you from using magic or Summons. Attak it, and it will start to countdown which unleashes Mana Beam. This does lots of damage but it WILL do lots of damage. Heal up and bring in Yuna and Lulu if they are not already in. Cast thunder spells and unleash Ixion, bust it out and use boost. Then unleash Thor Hammer, if Mana Beam gets to it, Shield to block some of the damage. This battle is sort of hard. Just don't attack it after you have been severly hurt. Use items too they are very useful. ================================================ After the battle its time to go cruzin on the machina snow bicycle things. When you get to the temple take a right and grab the Mega-Potion. Lets go in the door. Go across the bridge and an Al Bhed will bribe you 400 gil not to harm him. Have you noticed that that last couple of Temples had to do with the element of the Aeon? Well, hmmm its ice all round so guess who? YUP Shiva. Anyways get in and talk to the people to recieve some items, Tromell will give you a Shell Targe. Save. Continue up the middle to try to go into the Cloister of Trials. But you will be forced down and to the right to see the sphere of what really happened to Seymours father. Before leaving check in the chest in the back for some Remedies and one of the people for 2 Hi-Potions. Go back out and before going, collect the 2 X-Potions and 5000 gil in the first room then goto the top left and look for someone who will give you an Elixer and an Ether. Their is also a chest in the back that has 3 Phoenix Downs! You NEED save again and head into the Cloister of Trials. You will find Seymour there. Where Yuna uncovers her plot. ================================================ BOSS: Seymour HP: SEYMOUR: 6,000 / GUADO: 2000 / ANIMA: 18,000 MP: SEYMOUR: 100/ GUARDO: 10 / ANIMA: 50 AP: 6,220 GIL: 8000+ STEAL: Seymour: Turbo Ether / Guado: Hi-Potion / Anima: Silence Grenade WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: Ability Sphere, Black Magic Sphere This battle is not that hard if you leveled up alot in the Thunder Plains. First take out the 2 Guado as they will heal Seymour and cast spells on him for AID, if your having trouble steal there Hi-Potions w/ Rikku to keep them from healing themselves. Tidus and Yuna can use the TALK trigger command to raise the stats of the character. Switch out Rikku if you used her and bring in a heavy hitter. So you should now have Yuna, Tidus, Auron or Kimahri out, whoever is stronger [usually its Auron]. Anyways have Tidus cast Haste or Hastega on everyone. Have Tidus and Auron pound Seymour for all you have. Seymour uses Blizzard, Thunder, Water, and Fire so have Yuna HEAL and use the Nul-Frost, Nul-Shock, Nul-Tide, and Nul-Blaze which will cancel all of his spells if you use them in that order. When you hurt him enough he will call forth Anima. Anima is easier than I thought he would be, summon ???? which is Shiva. Just sit there using Heavenly Strike until it uses Pain. When it hits heal yourself with Blizzard or Blizzara. Once your Overdrive fills up unleash that bad boy which should do 9999. Keep up the same thing with the Blizzara healing and you should of been able to get the second one off which does 9999 also and if you did both thats over 18,000+ HP already which is how much Anima has. Seymour comes out again. Now he uses spells consecutively, just null some magic and heal and just attack him. He will fall soon just keep it up like the first time. ================================================ Once you kill him the Guado burst through and takes Seymour. ######### The Cloister of Trials - Macalania ######### Begin by takeing a left and going down the steps and goto the middle pillar and grab the Glyph Sphere. Put this one into the pedestal. Push the Pedestal to the right and it runs into the ice. Now push it forward and it flys down another ramp. Go down and take that sphere out and put it in the very left-most slot on the wall. Go up the ramp and take the Macalania Sphere from the new wall that came up. Go down to the pedestal and put it in, now push the pedestal to the right. A part of the bridge should of appeared. Now once again go back up and grab the sphere on the very right. Go down the ramp and put it in the left pillar. Take the sphere next to the ramp going down and put it in the middle pillar. Go up the ramp to where you first started and step on the shining floor glyph to return the pedestal to the top. Once that is accomplished take the sphere and push it down the ramp. Go down the ramp to where the pedestal was ORIGINALLY and step on the shining floor glyph to the left. Take the Macalania Sphere in your hand and put it into the far right slot making the ice re-appear. Take the sphere from the middle pillar again and put it into the slot by the ramp to make the ramp re-appear. Take the Destruction Sphere from the Pedestal and go down the ramp and put it into the slot left of the doorway. go down the tiny ramp and open the chest. Take it and lets get out of here. Go back up the ramp and push it to the right so it hits the ice again, take the sphere on the very right and put it into the pedestal. Push the pedestal north again and it will go back to the basement. Push it right to make the bridge re-appear. Now go up the ramp and grab the sphere by the ramp to make it dissapear. Place that into the middle pillar and go up the main ramp and leave. Well after that go out and the Guado will be very VERY mad and are with Seymour. They will destroy the sphere of Seymours father that told them Seymour was evil, your only proof now gone. Well time to run, just escape and follow the path to where you came. If the guado catch up they will force you into a battle. Just keep moving and take the right path, at the end their is a Lvl 1 Key Sphere. Jump across to the left and continue until you get to the save sphere. Touch the Save Sphere to Heal and then Save. ================================================ BOSS: Wendigo HP: WENDIGO: 18,000 / GUADO: 1,200 MP: WENDIGO: 32 / GUADO: 330 AP: 3,160 GIL: 3000 STEAL: Hi-Potions [from both] WEAKNESS: Fire ITEMS: Power Sphere This is easy! Just take out the 2 Guado by either stealing the Hi-Potions from them or use an Aeon to take them out. If they cast Berserk on Wendigo, either use Threaten for Auron or you will probably get thrashed bad. Fira and Firaga work wonders. Dark Buster/Dark Attack and Power Breaks are musts. Wakka' Sleep Attack also works. ================================================ Save at the save sphere and talk to everyone. There is a Lvl. 2 Key Sphere hidden behind Kimahri. Someone revisits you and the toxin gets to close and you black out. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Sanubia Desert ITEMS: 4 Remedy, 24 Al Bhed Potion, 2 Either, 16 Hi-Potion, 4 X-Potion, 5 Mega-Potion, 10,000 gil, Lvl. 2 Key Sphere, Elixer, 2 Teleport Spheres, 3 Megaelixers KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. XVII(17), and XVIII(18), Mercury Crest MONSTERS: Zu, Sand Worm, Cactuar, Sand Wolf, Alcyone, Mushussu, Mech Guard, Mech Gunner, Sandragora :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: You wake up in an Oasis in the middle of the desert!

And Save at the save sphere. Go north and you will be attacked by a Zu monster, This isn't a boss battle or hard. Just keep attacking until Auron and Lulu join in. Take it out using Power Break, Mental Break, and Bio works WONDERS in this part. Sandworms will attack you later, just bio them and blind them. The BIO will do 4,200 damage everyturn [or around their]. Go straight up and you will find Wakka underneith a tent. Talk to him and you get him in your party. Open the chest to find 8 Al Bhed Potions. These are the best up to now! Only Rikku can use them but, they cure everyone for 1000 HP each and eliminates Poison, Petrification, Silence! Don't use them though, as you will need them soon for a boss. Take a path to the right to find Kimahri just going up a desert dune and then slides back down and repeats. Just talk to him and follow the path North to find Rikku. Get some Ethers from the chest and some more Al Bhed Potions from the first aid kit. Now if you encounter Machina Rikku can take it apart by using steal WHILE gaining grenade items. The new Cactuars are around here, they will do 10,000 needles instead of 1,000 so watch out these ones are powerful. Keep going until you see a sign... head southwest to find a chest with 4 Hi-Potions, continue until you reach a fork. Grab the Al Bhed First Aid kit for another 8 Al Bhed Potions and goto the left, even though the enemies are stronger there are better items so continue looking for them, they are near structures.

And then head to the airship dock. Basically the attack on the town was to get Yuna. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: The Airship ITEMS: None KEY ITEMS: None MONSTERS: Evil Eye, Dual Horn, Bomb :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Now you get to watch a really cool movie! Like on the commercial. Anyways when you regain control I suggest hiring Brother [The Guy piloting the ship, north of where you are] onto your Blitzball team, he is really good. Rin is also on the ship too, hire him also. This will be the only time you can hire them for a while. Anyways just wonder around and talk to people until you get attacked. Head to the left of the control room until you get to the Save Sphere and some steps. Save and continue up the stairs. You will see a monster called Evrae. Time to boss battle. Talk to Rin buy some items and armor and go infront and ride up. ================================================ BOSS: Evrae HP: 32,000 MP: 500 AP: 5,400 GIL: 2,600 STEAL: Water Gem WEAKNESS: Fire / Halves all other magic ITEM: Black Magis Sphere Cast Slow on Evrae and then Hastega on yourself if you don't have that just cast Haste on everyone. When you are up close just nail him with everything you have, use OVERDRIVES. If he petrifies or poisons you or attacks you good, have Tidus or Rikku pull back. Then pull out Rikku and use Al Bhed Potions using her USE command, this is why you need them, Very handy. If you pull back long enough the ship will unload missles doing 200 - 400 damage with each hit. It will use Poison Breath sometimes which poisons everyone, Counter with 1 or 2 Al Bhed Potions. This is sort of easy battle, just continue with it. ================================================ Watch the next cool event like on the commercial. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Bevelle ITEMS: HP Sphere, Knight Lance, Black Magic Sphere, Mega-Potion, Elixer, White Magic Sphere, Skill Sphere, 2 Lucid Ring, Avenger, Rematch KEY ITEMS: Al Bhed Primer Vol. XXII(22), Jecht Sphere MONSTERS: Warrior Monk, YKT-63, YAT-99, Cave Iguion, Sahagin, Swamp Mafdet, Bat Eye, Aqua Flan, Maze Larva, Phiegyas, Octopus :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: As you come in just keep going forward. Nail the robots, and the flamethrower guys first or you will regret it. Just use Thunderaga on the bots to kill them soon. Just keep plowing through defeated... use Al Bhed Potions when you are low on health. And just keep going. When you get to the end you will be surrounded. After that event you will be surrounded and Rikku will use a flash grenade which will blind everyone long enough to make an escape. Go up to the panel and press X and an escelator type thing will take you down. Follow the short path to the temple and look around for the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XXII(12) its in the middle of the path. A temple made out of machina? well that just destroyed Wakka. Anyways SAVE and head into the temple. ######### The Cloister Of Trials - Bevelle Temple ######### When you first enter push the pedestal forward and it will turn into a platform, taking you down. Hit X so you go forward. On the first turn when the arrow points right hit X and you will take a right. Now it takes you all the way to the bottom. Take the sphere from the holder and place it into the pedestal. Push the pedestal onto the path from where you came. It will turn into the elevator thingy. When you go straight up take a right and take the next right [second right from where you first started]. Take a Bevelle Sphere and place it into the holder. Push it back into the path and goto the end and fall off. When you start from the previous place this time take the left and take the sphere and insert it into the pedestal. Push it onto the path and ride to the end and fall off. From the starting place take a right ride to the next floor and take a left and ride it to the end and take the right. Take a Bevelle Sphere and insert it into the holder, this will open a path to a Destruction Sphere, but we can't get it just yet. Push the pedestal back into the path and you will fall off. When you start you will be on the second level, stay on that level DO NOT go up to the first level. NOW from the new start take the second left and take the Glyph Sphere at the end and insert it into the Pedestal. Push the pedestal back onto the path and take a right at the very end again. This time take a Glyph Sphere and put it into the Glyph which will give you access to the Destruction Sphere. Take it and put it on the pedestal. Fall off and when you start from the new beginning again, take the second right and insert the Destruction Sphere there. Push the pedestal back onto the path and ride to the very end again. Take the Bevelle Sphere and insert it into the pedestal. Push it back in and you will fall off again. From the new start take the first right [not where you got the VERY FIRST sphere]. When you get onto the little land thing. Push the pedestal over the side and onto the new path. Ride it and you should switch. It will take you up to a new place. Go up and open the treasure and step on the shining glyph to put the pedestal up there. If you followed this guide you should have 2 Bevelle Spheres, which is good if not, I feel sorry for you. Anyways take 1 sphere and insert it into the holder. Push it to the left and ride the short ride to the end and grab the treasure. Ride back over and take a right. Talk to the people and you and Kimahri will bust out Yuna. After this you will have recieved Bahamut! Which is very very awesome. 10,000+ for his Overdrive. After the next event you will be held for a trial. Each person is sentenced to a maze. Where their is a boss at the end of each one. Oh joy. First you control Yuna, and you have to find other party members. When you first start out go east, and follow the path, here you will meet Kimahri. This is a great time to check out Bahamut and all he has to offer. To the left of the room is a treasure chest with a Mega-Potion in it. Go north after that and follow the path to find Auron. Save at the sphere. From where you found Auron. go west and you will find Lulu in a short corner. Behind her carries a White Magic Sphere. Go south from where you found Lulu and you will be taken to a chest with an Elixer in it. Their is also a glyph on the wall, touch it to activate it. Now you have to backtrack ALL the way back, what a pain huh? Go north and take the first right, there you will find a Black Magic Sphere on the right side of the room. Step on the floor glyph [if you activated the glyph on the wall where the Elixer was] and it will move. Go back to where the T-intersection where the locked door was and step on the glyph when it points to the locked room. A Skill Sphere and Lucid Ring will be waiting for you there. Get out of the room and goto where Auron was. Save and go down the corridor to the north. This is where you will have to battle Isaaru, he has 3 Aeons. ================================================ BOSS: Ifrit[Grothia] / Valefor[Pterya] / Bahamut[Spathi] HP: Ifrit: 8,000 / Valefor: 12,000 / Bahamut: 20,000 MP: Ifrit: 600 / Valefor: 1000 / Bahamut: 1,500 AP: 6,000 GIL: 0 STEAL: Nothing WEAKNESS: Ifrit: Ice ITEMS: Nothing Summon Shiva for Ifrit, wait until Shiva Ifrit attacks you and boost. If you boost alot you will beat him to his Overdrive. Heal yourself with Blizzara/Blizzard. When you are low on health. You will always get to Overdrive before Ifrit if you started from scratch, anyways if your overdrive is done, unleash it which it will do 9999 instantly killing him. 1 down 2 to go. When he sommones Valefor you summon Bahamut. This isn't hard, just use Impulse or Boost and get attacked. Your Mega Flare will annihilate him. If it doesn't kill him, you need to level up, if he survives just use some attacks or Impulses to finish it off. 2 down 1 to go Summon anyone you like, I chose Ixion. When you battle it it will start to count. That is when it releases Mega Flare. To do this you should have your Aeon at full Overdrive or just build it up, using its special attack and Attack. When you get it you should beable to pull off an Overdrive. If Bahamut will beat you to it [overdrive gauge is below him], use Shield the time before. You will more than likely survive. Just cure yourself with Thundera, Blizzara, Fira or whatever. He will fall after a little after 2 Overdrives. Not that hard. =suggestion by: drumpunk10@hotmail.com= This battle can be tough or very easy, it depends on your strategy. Just one hint before i start, Shiva is not the aeon to start with to fight Ifrit because even if Shiva gets off an overdrive, Ifrit still won't die. but when he uses Hellfire, Shiva is toast(literally). Anyways, start off with Bahamut and use his overdrive, this may not kill Ifrit first try. But at least Ifrits overdrive won't kill Bahamut, do this Bahamut overdrive twice and Ifrit is toast., you should also be able to kill Valefor (second battle against Isaaru) with Bahamut, if not bring in Ifrit and use his overdrive. Finally Isaaru will summon Bahamut. Simple, this is the time to bring in Shiva. Just use her overdrive, and when Bahamut is about to use Mega Flare just have Shiva use shield. Do this a few times and Bahumat is gone. Very easy fight, but you need good strategy. ================================================ After Isaaru is gone, you will be switched to Tidus, Wakka, Rikku. When you start out you can goto the right to purchase some items from a blue looking chest. Fight off people until you get to the next Save Sphere. Save and move forward. And you will fight someone familiar looking. ================================================ BOSS: Evrae Altana HP: 16,384 MP: 200 AP: 5,800 GIL: 3,000 STEAL: Water Gem WEAKNESS: Curative Magic ITEMS: Black Magic Sphere This battle is SOOO hard.... Give him 2 Phoenix Downs and do the happy dance ================================================ After you defeat it. Swim onward to find some chests containing the Avenger and the Rematch [If you used the trigger commands to shut the gate and didn't use the easiest way then you missed out]. When everyone is joined up again. You will run into Seymour again, Oh great. Kimahri will defend. When you regain control O'aka is around so buy some items if you are low on them. Run down the path battling some easy enemies and whatnot. Get Overdrives built up for Aeons and Normal people. Save at the end and get ready to face Seymour. ================================================ BOSS: Seymour Natus/Mortibody HP: SN: 36,000 / Mortibody: 4,000 MP: 200 AP: 6,300 GIL: 3,500 STEAL: 2 Tetra Elemental WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: 2 Lvl. 2 Key Sphere I found this battle extremely easy. When you start out bust out EVERYTHING. Overdrives, Aeons Overdrives [You must have the overdrives or Seymour Natus will just cast Banish and instantly kill the Aeon]. Nul-Magic works good since he uses Mult-magic. He also uses Flare. It may take out a character if you have a low HP. He also uses an attack that petrifies you, if that happens have Rikku use an Al Bhed Potion. Dont use any magic during this battle except to heal or guard. Cast Reflect on Seymour, if his HP gets low the Mortibody will Cure him if you have Reflect on him the Mortibody will cure you . Continue with physical attacks and when he attacks just clean up with cures. ================================================ Now you end up in Macalania Woods. Save and head south and find Kimahri, from him take a left to find Yuna. A nice event will take place and you will come back and goto sleep. In the morning check around the campsite to find a Lucid Ring. Goto the crossroads and head WEST to find yet another Jecht Sphere. Go back to the crossroads and head EAST to the Calm lands! :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: The Calm Lands ITEMS: 15,000 Gil, 60 Farplane Wind, 2 Lvl. 2 Key Spheres, 30 Power Sphere, Mega-Elixer, 2 Mega-Potion, Fortune Sphere, Flexible Arm, MP Sphere, 2 X-Potion KEY ITEMS: Aeon's Soul, Al Bhed Primer Vol. XXIII(23), XXIV(24) and XXV(25), Rusty Sword, Cloudy Mirror MONSTERS: Nebiros, Skoll, Shred, Flame Flan, Mech Scouter, Ogre, Coueurl, Chimera Brain [located in grass], Malboro, Anacondaur, Magic Urn, Nidhogg, Dark Element, Ghost, Defender, Valaha, Epaaj, Imp, Mech Hunter, Thorn, Yowie [INCLUDING THE CAVE OF STOLEN FAYTH] :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: When you come in, talk to the old guy, Maechan, for more information on the Calm Lands. Follow the path to the left until the Rin's Travel Agency comes flying in, buy some stuff if you want, there is a shop later up. Continue north to the white square, there is a save point in the shop, enter the shop and an event will occur about Lulu's old guardians. Go left and the Al Bhed will give you a message from Cid. Blitzball has now been activated again, so play it and have some fun. Anyways save. Head southwest from the Shop to find Belgemine again. Go in to battle her for the Aeon's Soul. This is relatively easy, Bahamut or Ifrit should be more than enough to take her down. You win and you get an Aeon's Soul and 30 Power Spheres, the Aeon's Soul lets you use spheres to upgrade its statistics. Head Northwest until you see the Chocobo Catcher guy. Talk to him to beable to train a CHOCOBO! Check our Chocobo Training guide in the Minigames/Sidequests. Get on your new chocobo and go west of the chocobo catcher and get the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XXIII(23). Head South East and get the treasures in the corner. Continue North from there and go into the green square on the map [on the right not northeast] and this is the Monster Arena. Check the Minigames/Sidequests for more information. He wants you to capture all the different species of monster in the Calm Lands, that isn't too hard. Buy the capture weapon from him and set out to find them. Most of them are just random across, but it took me an hour to figure out where are those darn Chimera Brain, they are in a grassy area just a little north of the ramp of where you came in. Capture them and you will be rewarded an easy 60 Farplane Winds. Okay to get the Cloudy Mirror check the Minigames/Sidequests section for more information. Anyways to get to Remiem temple goto where you first came in and goto where the Chocobo Feather is, press X up to it and you will jump across. Head through the path until you see the HUGE Remiem Temple. Head left of the entrance to find the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIV(24). To race goto the right side, win to get a Cloudy Mirror. Go all the way back to the Calm Lands. [Dont bother going into the temple for now, its useless, read about the Aeon on Magus Sisters in the Aeons section]. Head to the Northeast exit of the Calm Lands and save at the save sphere. Go forward and Guado will be their. They will Release a big 'ol machina called Defender X. Well the nice Calmness of the Calm Lands has faded. Boss battle ================================================ BOSS: Defender X HP: 65,000 MP: 1 AP: 6,660 GIL: 3,500 STEAL: 4 Lunar Curtain WEAKNESS: Armor Break ITEMS: Lvl. 2 Key Sphere =strategy/suggestion by: xxcrimsondragon@hotmail.com= I found it really simple that all you have to do is have Tidus use his Provoke skill, this will make the boss only attack Tidus with the attack that HALVES the characters current HP, thus he will never kill Tidus. This guy is plenty hard. First take out Auron and do some Armor and Mental Breaks. Have Tidus use Hastega on everyone or just Haste individually on everyone. After the Mental and Armor breaks have Auron switch out for Lulu, who should do Waterga and Thundaga. Yuna should be casting protect on everyone to help stop the pain of Defender X's attacks. Have Tidus Cheer everyone. Bring out Wakka also for Dark Buster. If you bring out an Aeon make sure it can withstand about 2 of Defender X's attacks by then it will have enough Overdrive power to unleash an Overdrive. After that it's a goner. ================================================ After that battle go under the bridge. On the next screen take a right and follow it until you see a Sword thing in the ground, Press X to recieve the Rusty Sword. The rusty sword is used for Aurons ultimate weapon. On the left is the Cave of Stolen Fayth where Lulu's summoner died. In their is Yojimbo, if you manage to get to him, great... but you have to battle him and pay him to join you. Some good items are in the cave, check it out. Save before entering though. Go back to where you defeated the Defender X and head up the middle over the bridge. You are now in Mt. Gagazet :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Mount Gagazet ITEMS: 20,000 gil, Mega-Potion, Defending Bracer, HP Sphere, Lvl. 4 Key Sphere, Lvl. 1 Key Sphere, Fortune Sphere, Return Sphere, Recovery Ring KEY ITEMS: Braska's Sphere, Saturn Crest MONSTERS: Grat, Bashura, Grenade, Imp, Bandersnatch, Nidhogg, Mech Leader, Mech Defender, Mandragora, Dark Flan, Behemoth, Maelspike, Achelous, Splasher, Grendel, Ahriman :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: When you first enter you will be hounded by the Ronso. Talk to the people and save your game. Talk to the guy by the Red Arrow on the minimap to see what happened to Kimahri's horn. Continue up and Biran and Yenke attack. Make sure you have the best weapon for Kimahri and have the Regen Armlet which will make you invincible. ================================================ BOSS: Biran/Yenke HP: Varies MP: 200 each AP: 9,000 GIL: 3,000 STEAL: Lvl. 3 Key Sphere WEAKNESS: None LANCET: Fire Breath, Mighty Guard, Doom, Stone Breath, Self-Destruct, White Wind, Thrust Kick, Aqua Breath ITEMS: First off this is what I did. I scanned them and I Found out he can Lancet TONS OF ABILITIES from them! Doom included. Keep Lanceting both of them until they have nothing left to give. Heal up if needed. Just use physical attacks when they are spread out or else one will Guard the other and your attack will be really small. If you kill one, the other will use . Use Lancet to gain it [I forgot to do so myself]. Kill the other and the other one will use Haste itself. Uuse Mighty Guard when they use it, same for White Wind. This battle should be a breeze. ================================================ After the battle return to save. Now you can't play Blitzball anymore. Continue and on the right is a chest with 10,000 Gil. After that go left to find some Mega-Potions. There are graves of summoners where Lulu tells you where they have died. They are all over. When you go along the path keep to the TOP or RIGHT of your character. You will find a crevace where a Braska Sphere is. Auron will learn another Overdrive. Their is also a Defending Bracer which is up on a ledge. Where their is a T-intersection. Continue towards the red arrow and you will eventually meet Wantz. O'aka's brother has decided to take up his brothers profession of being a merchant. He will give you a story about what happened to O'aka. After that buy some stuff if you want to and continue on. Look on the minimap for a half donut turn on the side. Down this little path is an HP Sphere and a Lvl4 Key Sphere. Continue on to where the Red Arrow is and until you see the Save Sphere. SAVE! and get EVERYONES [including Aeons] Overdrives built up and get ready for the battle of your life. ================================================ BOSS: Seymour Flux / Mortiorchis HP: SF: 80,000 / MO: 4,000 HP: 512 AP: 10,000 GIL: 6,000 STEAL: Elixer WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: Lvl. 4 Key Sphere =submitted by: RRAGANS@CFL.RR.COM= On seymour flux, if you have Rikku on overdrive, you can mix Dream Powder and a Fire Gem to make Abaddon Flame, which casts poison and deals some nice amount of damage on Seymour and Mortiorchis. Every turn Seymour will lose 1500 hp. This guy is one bad dude. He will use an Attack that will Zombie your character and then cast Full-Life on it. He will use Cross Cleaver which does about 2,500 damage [use PROTECT to cut it in half]. He will also use his deadly Total Annihilation [thanks to =drumpunk10@hotmail.com= for pointing this out to me, he told me that SHELL, not protect, will reduce the damage by a ton!] Use a Mega-Potion to heal them after each Blow, if one dies use a Pheonix Down, if 2 die, use a Mega Phoenix. He is also vulnerable to Silence Buster or Silence attack. Use all character Overdrives then use all the Aeons' Overdrives' you have and he should be dead by that time. If not just use Physical Attacks. ================================================ Anyways head out and follow the path. Look to the left of the pillars and a treasure chest should be sticking out. Grab the Saturn Crest. The next event is confusing and weird. When you regain control head onto the boat and into the door. Just keep listening/reading and when you wake up. Contine until you get to a cave. Their are lots of new enemies here. If you didnt learn White Wind/Mighty Guard from Biran or Yenke. Do so now, Behemoth holds the Mighty Guard and Dark Flan carries White Wind. Capture all the new monsters you see. There are HARD enemies up here. Level up, they give good AP, Behemoths around 6000+ for each character, Dark Flan 4000+. Go up through the Cave of Gagazet and save at the Save Sphere and take a left. Go through and you will go into water. From now on you can only use Wakka, Tidus, Rikku in the water. Continue north until you see a ball with shields spinning around it. Get the time right and hit it and a treasure chest will appear and you will recieve a Lvl 1 Key Sphere. Go back to where the Save sphere place was. Save and go up the steps to the left. You will be split up. Continue until you reach water again. Continue until you read a place with 3 colored lights floating around. Of course by now you figured out the color is the color of the character on the Sphere Grid. Orangish is Wakka Green is Rikku Blue is Tidus Finish this and recieve a Fortune Sphere and return to the room with the Save Sphere. Save and head right from the stairs onto the new path. Go in the water and find a cliff where their are 2 chests. 1 has a Return Sphere and the other has a Recovery Ring. Return once again to the main room and Save at the Save Sphere. Go on the left path again until you see an area where boulders have filled in a hole around the corner which leads to a treasure chest. Grab the Star Armguard go back to the main room again and save. Go up the stairs and take a left on the new passage. Continue until an event occurs. Save again and build up the overdrives..continue up the path to the top to face a boss! ================================================ BOSS: Sanctuary Keeper HP: 40,000 MP: 256 AP: 16,500 GIL: 6,500 STEAL: Turbo Ether WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: Return Sphere When you start off just setup the basic Haste/Hastega and Protect, and Slow it. Unleash all your Overdrives before he attacks or he will cause CURSE causing you to be disabled from Overdrives. If they do get affected just use a Holy Water, if you dont have one. Kill the character and revive it then do it. Before you Summon Aeons cast Reflect on the Sancuary Keeper or you will never win, after you use your Overdrive he will unleash alot of attacks and ending with Mana Beam followed by a Curaga. Can you believe Curse affects Aeons too? Anyways if you did the Reflect like i told you to they should still be standing, like Bahamut and then be cured for 9999 hp. If Yuna's Overdrive is full. Dismiss and then launch them again. ================================================ After this an event will occur, Yuna dropped a sphere with her goodbyes. After that continue on the path until another scene occurs. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: KEY ITEMS: The Zanarkand Ruins ITEMS: Fortune Sphere, Spiritual Targe, 10,000 gil, Friend Sphere, Lvl. 3 Key Sphere, Luck Sphere KEY ITEMS: Sun Crest MONSTERS: Mangragora, Dark Flan, Behemoth, Bashura, Ahriman, Grendel, Defender Z, YKT-11, YAT-97, Fallen Monk :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Your almost done with the game! What a shame :(. When you guys get ready to go again save to the left. Continue on the Path, it's rather easy. Follow the path until you reach the dome. If you encounter undead enemies E.G. Fallen Monk use a Pheonix Down/Life to instantly kill it. Fair enemies just use the regular Armor Breaks and Hastes. Look out for a Fortune Sphere and a Spiritual Targe. Level up on this path their are enemies that are easy that give as much as 11,100 AP a battle!!! Continue on follow the path and keep your eye out for a chest with 10,000 gil in it. When you see the ghost of Seymour go east for a Friend Sphere. Continue north and you will see memories of Braska, until you find the Temple. Look around in the debris for a Luck Sphere. Yay. Save and continue in. ######### The Cloister of Trials - Zanarkand ######### This temple is as easy as they come. Accept for the boss coming up. First Go in and step on the green dot and it will become a square. Next go up to the panel that just lit up and examine it. It will show lighted areas, you have to memorize them. You can can examine the panel as much as you want if you are not sure. Pick the correct ones and it will light up, pick a bad one and it will reset. Pick them all correct and a door and pedestals will pop open. Push in a pedestal go and solve the puzzle in the big room just like we did in the small room. Push all of them in and solve each one except the 2 middle ones. Go in the big room and take the red Kilika Sphere and insert it in the red pedestal and it moves inwards. Take the blue sphere and insert it into the right one and it moves inwards. Save at the new save sphere. Go out and get all the Overdrives for everyone including the Aeons and steal lots of Holy Waters as you will be needing them for the boss after this one very much. Go to the new room and get ready! ================================================ BOSS: Spectral Keeper HP: 52,000 MP: 500 AP: 12,000 GIL: 7,000 STEAL: Ether, Turbo Ether WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: Lvl. 4 Key Sphere This is easy if you leveled up. If not it might be a problem. Anyways begin with Wakka, Tidus, Auron. Have Tidus cast Hastega and Auron and Wakka use both their Overdrives. When thats done use Tidus's Overdrive and switch Wakka for Yuna. Bust out Bahamut, Ifrit, and all the other Aeons you want and use their Overdrive. I only got to use Bahamut and Ifrit before it died. The monster will use a Glyph Mine which blows up your Aeon instantly which sucks. ================================================ Save at the Save Sphere. Get out of the temple and goto the dome grab Holy Water, Level up a bit, Get the Overdrives filled. Go save again and continue go down the entrance. You will get into about 2 events before you fight this so just listen to what they have to say. ================================================ BOSS: Yunalesca FORM1 HP: 24,000 / FORM2 HP: 48,000 / FORM 3: 60,000 MP: 400 throughout the whole thing AP: 14,000 GIL: 9,000 STEAL: Mega-Potion, Farplane Wind WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: Lvl. 3 Key Sphere FORM1: Just use regular attacks, she will just Blind if you do so, counter attack with Eye Drops/Esuna/Remedy. Use Wakka, Tidus and Auron. Knock her out down until she transforms. FORM2: She will now start to cast Hell Biter, which Zombies your characters and does a decent amount of damage. Counter with Holy Waters and use everyones Overdrives but not Yuna's. She should die after a couple of hits. Heal when necessary but dont heal while in Zombie status or you will kill yourself. She should die shortly after that. =Someone has informed me that if you are Zombied when Yunalesca changes to form3 [and will cast Mega Death] the Mega Death will not affect them, I FORGOT WHO IT WAS, SORRY, E-MAIL ME AGAIN= FORM3: This is the hardest one. She casts Mega Death right off the bat and she casts Hell Biter [zombies all characters + damage] alot and will Absorbs your HP. Osmoses all your MP. Start off by summoning Bahamut. Use his Mega Flare and it should take off a significant amount. Dont get all excited if he lives because he will no longer beable to use his overdrive because Yunalesca will cast Curse on him. Just use Impulse or Attack until Bahamut dies. Pull out all other Aeons and use them till the end. This will knock off alot of her HP. Use regular attacks and she should die. HARD battle but you can pull it off. ================================================ Look around the battle area for the Sun Crest [top left]. Go south and walk out and talk to Auron he will explain some things to you. Now save and get out of the dome place until Cid comes with the Airship. NOW is the time to level up and get the Ultimate Weapons [located in the Ultimate Weapons section]. Get the other Aeons and whatnot. Go up to the cabin cockpit and talk to Cid after speaking with others. Give him coordinates located in the Secret section or places you've already been to. Also theirs an Input option which you can get the location for Rikku's ultimate weapons stuff. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: The Final Battle ITEMS: Phantom Ring, Special Sphere, Elixer, Wizard Lance, Lvl. 3 Key Sphere, Four-on-ONe, Defending Bracer, 20,000 HP, HP Sphere, Defense Sphere, Laevatein, Lvl. 4 Key Sphere KEY ITEMS: None MONSTERS: Adamantoise, Ahriman, Behemoth King, Exoray, Gemini, Barbators, Demonolith, Great Malboro, Wraith, Land Worm :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Head to Bevelle.

Head to the top and get ready. ================================================ BOSS: Left Fin / Right Fin HP: 65,000 each MP: 999 each AP: 16,000 each GIL: 20,000 STEAL: Mega Potion, Supreme Gem from left Fin / X-Potion, Shining Gem from right fin WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: Lvl. 3 Key Spheres Start out with Tidus using Hastega. Have Yuna use Shell, Lulu double cast an Ultima/Flare. Bust out your black magic spells and attacks. Continue administering Items, Cure Spells, and Damage. Auron and Wakka are also good. Have Auron use Armor Break. Move the ship in to attack it with the close rangers. And back out when you are in fatal health. Get in a couple hits before Sin attacks, as his attacks are alot stronger close range. Use the same stuff for both fins. ================================================ You are forced to fight the sin core. ================================================ BOSS: Sin Core / Sinspawn Genais HP: Sin Core: 36,000 / Genais: 20,000 MP: Sin Core: 999 / Genais: 200 AP: Sin Core: 18,000 / Genais: 1,800 GIL: 20,000 STEAL: Sin: Stamina Spring / Genais: Star Curtain, Shining Gem WEAKNESS: Sin: None / Genais: Fire ITEMS: MP Sphere First take out the Sinspawn or it will absorb the attacks for Sin. Use Hastega on youself then use Slow and Silence, Reflect if necessary ON the enemy to prevent it from healing itself. Kill off the Sinspawn and advance. Now take out Auron and use Armor Break. Have him use physical attacks and have Lulu use Doublecast using Flare or Ultima. Copycat it if possible. If not use Holy or Just continue this, healing with Items mostly. Refrain from using lots of Healing Magic which reduces your MP use, as you will need it after this battle. Kill it off fast and you will fight the head. ================================================ Sin's Head has the most HP you will ever see in the game, besides the Monster Arena super enemies. After the long scene head to the top of the ship again. ================================================ BOSS: Sins Head HP: 140,000 MP: 999 AP: 20,000 GIL: 12,000 STEAL: Ether, Supreme Gem WEAKNESS: None ITEMS: Lvl. 3 Key Sphere This guy now has an Overdrive which will pretty much destroy you. Giga-Graviton will end your game, pure and simple it will. Use Armor Break, Hastega, have Kimahri use Mighty Guard or if you dont need help use Nova. Have Lulu use Doublecast > Flare/Ultima on it as usual. Yuna should be using Holy. Rikku Stealing or using Spare Change as money you will not need at the end of the game. When Sin pulls you further using everyone else's Overdrives. Then bring in Yuna and use your Aeons to do their Overdrives. Hopefully this will finish it off. If not Hastega and use everything else you have. Resort to Double Casting Ultima/Flare again and using Mega-Potions. Use elixers if you run low on HP and MP for Lulu. Physical Attacks should knock him off. ================================================ After you defeat Sin you will fly into Sin's shell, yay. After you defeat Sin you can still return to the outer world. Use the mini-map to locate, using the red arrow. NOTE: Random battles are like Mini-bosses, items are on the path you can find them. When you reach seymour's place equip elemental protecting/absorbing armor. Also get the Overdrives up again. ================================================ BOSS: Seymour Omnis HP: 80,000 MP: 999 AP: 24,000 GIL: 12,000 STEAL: Shining Gem, Supreme Gem WEAKNESS: Varies ITEMS: Lvl 3. Key Sphere =submitted by: bzan39@hotmail.com= First, you need Lulu to have a fully charged Onion Knight. First, have Yuna summon a charged up Valefor. Since it's weak, it's dispensable. Use it's overdrive on it, then it will get beat. Since Seymour's first element is fire, the next aeon you summon is Shiva. Use her Overdrive, and since she will be able to exceed 9999 damage, with any luck, you will get an Overkill like I did. I totally did not expect this battle to end as quickly as it did for me, and I was totally shocked when it did. I guess Seymour's not as tough as I thought. First off for a note the wheels behind him will determine the elemental properties. Scan him to see his weakness and use the opposite remember. Blizzard >< Fire , Thunder >< Water as most of you would think Water >< Fire. Unload Overdrives on him including Aeons. He will banish him like always. He also uses Dispel on you which eleminates your good spells. And then casts Ultima. This guy is fairly easy. ================================================ YAY NO MORE SEYMOUR COMING BACK After you defeat him, goto the save point and save. Go past and search the wall for a glyph. A message appears telling you to kill 10 fiends to open the door. You need to kill 30 fiends to open all the door and then you can pick up a Lvl. 4 Sphere. When you reach a square platform and a symbol in it, go up and grab the chest for Wakka's Four-on-One. Across from it is the Defending Bracer. Go up some more and their is a ramp down to yet another chest with 20,000 gil. Step on the platform next to it to access an HP Sphere and a Defense Sphere! Go all the way back to the ground. Go north east and look for an alcove with a building. Tidus will slide down WHEEEE grab the Laevatein. Run around the walls pressing X and climb out the hole. Go up the ramp and you find a save sphere which is the last one you will see. As you go north the tower crashes. Move towards it. Watch out for those icicles flying around, if you are hit you will be forced into a battle. Stand in one spot until the camera switches angles, and if a white light starts to glow under Tidus's feet run towards where the camera is to see the area. Crystals will form and if you run up to them and touch them before they dissapear. You will get an item! If you get 10 you will go on to fight. ================================================ BOSS: Braska's Final Aeon / Pagoda HP: 1st Form: 60,000 / 2nd Form: 120,000 / Pagoda: 7,000 AP: ???? STEAL: Turbo Ether WEAKNESS: None Start off by using Doublecast and using Flare to knock out the Pagoda, and using Hastega. The trick is how much Hp you knock it off, it will revive itself with that much. Use Lulu to Double Cast Ultima and have Yuna use Holy. Tidus can talk to the Final Aeon, when you talk to it it will reduce its Overdrive. Its best to use this when its almost full because you only can use it a couple times. When you take 60,000 hp of it killing its 1st form cast Protect on everyone and Auto-Life which is a must have. Use all the overdrives you have including Aeons, Characters. Use all the items you can get out as you wont need them if you beat the game. ================================================ Then after that. You fight this guy. ================================================ BOSS: Yu Yevon HP: 99,999 AP: End of the GAme STEAL: ???? Weakness: None This is too easy. Its impossible to die! You have Auto-life without even casting it?! Anyways he is easy 99,999 HP. Overdrives if you want another suggestion is. [sorry forgot who] Use Zombie Attack and Full-life and he is a gonner. Do whatever you want to him. ================================================ End of Game. Hope you enjoyed it.

Lightning Dodger -------------------- This Mini-game seems pointless and is just there for annoyance, but in reality you can get some nice prizes including the sigil you need for an ultimate weapon. To work it you need to be of course in the Thunder Plains, and Hit X at the flash of light DODGE PRIZES: 5 times = 2 X-potions 10 times = 2 Mega Potions 20 times = 2 MP spheres 50 times = 3 Strength Spheres 150 times = 4 Megaelixers 200 times = 1 Venus Sigil HIT PRIZES: 5 times = 2 X-potions 10 times = 2 Mega Potions =strategy/tips by: Drewx19@aol.com= First of all get near the save point past the travel agency towards Macalania woods not the one at the beginning coming from Guadosalam. I'll explain later, anyways once you get there SAVE THE GAME ON AN EMPTY SLOT, and just face towards the save point not too close though be more towards the center of the path and when the bolt strikes and you jump back go right back to that magic spot just so you don't go all over the place. HERES A TIP make sure to have a piece of equipment with the NO ENCOUNTERS ABILITY. Here's another tip, Make sure that the bolts are striking about every five seconds or so this is very important if you want to get this thing done within about 20 minutes or so with my help. I almost forgot if you don't know how to dodge the bolts all you have to do is press the X button when the screen flashes, not before you have to do it right after the screen flashes I mean right after or you'll be sorry. But the important thing though it is to not have anyone in the room to distract you, and most importantly DON'T BLINK WHEN THE SCREENS ABOUT TO FLASH, because you will miss it and boom all your work you put in is gone, and I don't mean keep your eyes wide open for twenty minutes OK NOW READ CAREFULLY. The key is to blink a few times to relax your eyes, then focus on the screen very carefully and try real hard not to blink when the screen is about to flash because if you have been reading this FAQ you should know that the bolts strike every 5 seconds or sometimes less, so don't blink too many times because if you do you will blink, and miss the flash, get struck and have to start all over. SO PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE I GUARANTEE THIS FAQ WILL HELP YOU TO BEAT THIS THING. Now start practicing to get you're timing down and a good feel for what you're doing. So start DODGING BOLTS and if you learn quickly this should be easy enough I know because I did it and now THE ONION KNIGHT is powered up and it is AWESOME!! AND VERY WORTH THE TIME so don't get discouraged and not do it because it's hard, because it will be worth every second of your time when you're fighting all the fiends and bosses on your way towards SIN. Back to the faq, now that you're well informed LISTEN UP, this is where it gets tricky start dodging bolts BY DOING EVERYTHING I SAID ABOVE I MEAN EVERYTHING. Now start dodging and at the same time keep track in your head how many bolts you have dodged, what worked for me is right after you dodge twenty bolts pause the game, I mean when you're still in the air from jumping back pause the game that way you have time to move back into POSITION and get ready for the next flash. WAIT before you resume though put a tally mark on a piece of paper just to keep track so you don't try to count to 200 and get confused. Continue doing this until you get to 200 bolts. One more thing after every forty bolts save the game on an EMPTY SLOT wait take this time to relax and let go of any tension you may have. Saving and pausing the game DID NOT have any effect on the games ability to keep track of how many bolts you've dodged. I don't know if you save it and then restart it, if it will work because when I beat it I never got struck and dodged all 200 in a row, but feel free to try. What I suggest is to just reset the game and do it all over. Just reload the original game not the sacrificial empty slot and go at it again. I know it may hurt but just do it. Or you can try and RESTART, DODGE, SAVE, GET STRUCK if you get struck, RESTART and if it works that's good and if it doesn't OH WELL. You should have listened. ---------------------- ii. Butterfly Catcher ---------------------- Basically if you touch a butterfly you are given a curtain amount of time to catch butterflys. This may seem really pointless also, but you can get the Saturn Sigil. To get them heres how it works. NOTE: You can do this in 2 areas Central and Nothern Malaconia Woods, Have to do it in BOTH Capturing ALL the Blue Butterflies = 1 Saturn Sigil ---------------------- iii. Cactuar Hunter ---------------------- *thanks to =mjolner75@attbi.com= who made me realize i needed to update this section* To do this you have to be on that island where the AL BHED town was. There are different cactuars in which you play RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT, if you touch them you battle, when they turn around stop or they will run. All of the cactuars are in Sanubia Desert, I will give what PART of Sanubia desert [cardinal directon] then where it is at. Each time you win you should get a sphere of some sort. 1. Near the OASIS - Right of the Save Sphere 2. East - North of the tent with the Save Sphere, take a left once to the top 3. West - 20% off sign west of the cactuar rock, have to read the sign 4. Central - Near the ruins to the west, 2 cactuars are running around 5. East - Near the Save Sphere under the tent 6. Central - Trapped in a treasure chest in the far west 7. Central - Inside one of the sand whirlpools 8. Oasis - [This one ticked me off] First if you use a save sphere to return to the ship then return to Bikanel Island, exit the first screen then come back, THEN he will be their and will go on the airship, return to the Airship and goto the deck [place where you had to go to fight Evrae] and he is outside. 9. Cactuar stone - last one automatically appears behind you After this you should of gotten all the spheres from the cactuar. Then after you have gotten all of the spheres put them in the stone next to each cactuar you have fought, once that is done the whirlwind should die down, now you should see a village and in 1 chest will be a SATURN SIGIL! and depending on how many shperes you won from the cactuars in redlight greenlight, (if you lose three times, you get a Sphere del Perdedor) and for for each: 2 Named Spheres = Potion 3-5 Named Spheres = Elixer 6-7 Named Spheres = Megalixer 8-9 Named Spheres = Friend sphere ---------------------- iv. Chocobo Training ---------------------- Look to the top left of the Calm Lands, for a Chocobo rider person she will give you some advice on to ride a chocobo and gives you like obstical courses. Lets get started. Chocobo is out of control, you have to use left and right to set it straight and guide it to the end between the chocobo and the chocobo rider. If you finish in under 12.8 seconds you can ride the chocobo in the calm lands whenever you like. Cross in time and get a prize. After you complete Wobbly Chocobo you can do dodger chocobo where blitzballs fly at you and you have to dodge them and you get stunned when you get hit. Cross in time and get a prize Same as Dodger Chocobo except the blitzballs fly over head and they split into 5 or so blitzballs while a bird comes flying at you. Personally this I took like forever to get, then after hours of cussing and fustration I got it. You can do it =] You race the trainer chocobo dude from the entrance to the exit of the Calm Lands, when you get hit with the bird it adds 3 seconds to your time, if you hit a balloon you get 3 seconds deducted. If you win this race you get the Caladbolg which is Tidus's ultimate weapon. Rerace in the Catcher Chocobo and if you finish in 0:0.0 seconds you get the Sun Sigil for it. ------------------ v. Blitzball ------------------ Check the BLITZBALL section for info on this, also, you will get certain items in the league and tournament depending on what place you come in. ------------------ vi. Cloudy Mirror ------------------ When you get to Remiem Temple, You need to get a Chocobo to get to Remiem Temple, when you get one goto the entrance of the Calm Lands and examine the Chocobo Feather then go in the crevace it is right around the corner. Anyways when you get infront of Remiem Temple take a left and look at the sphere on the ground. Now goto the other side and press X on the Chocobo, and race. If you beat the other Chocobo, you will win the Cloudy mirror. The cloudy mirror needs to be upgraded to the Celestial Mirror to be any good. Which will open some chests. ---------------------- vii. Celestial Mirror ---------------------- NOTE: YOU MUST TALK TO THE MAN UNTIL HE SAYS THE BOY IS MISSING!!! First you need to goto the Macalania Woods - South, You will see a boy and his mother, goto the far right path. Next screen you will go right then go north on the next screen. Talk to the man on the very right, which is the boy and mothers husband, so being nice tell him where they are. When you get there the kid should be missing. Then go left onto the shining path thingy. Then when you come to a fork take a left. The kid is here and when you talk to him he will lead you to an area where you can upgrade the Cloudy Mirror to the Celestial Mirror. This enables you to open some chests and get certain sigils and stuff. ----------------- viii. Rusty Sword ----------------- Goto the exit of the Calm Lands [North East], and goto the area where you fought Defender X, go over the bridge and go under the second. Just follow the path take the right path, the sword is in the ground, take the left and that is the cave of stolen fayth that is where Yojimbo lays [Aeon]. If you manage to not die on your way to him and defeat him, you can hire him to be on your team. Check the Aeons Section for more details. Anyways back on track... I bet your all asking whats the point of this rusty sword..... well you can get Aurons ultimate weapon with it. [Check the Ultimate Weapon Section on getting his Ultimate Weapon] ------------------- ix. Monster Arena ------------------- When you get to the Calm Lands you can go see the Monster Arena guy, he has accidentally let all the monsters loose all over Spira and wants you to capture 1 of each for him because he simply can't anymore. But some of his weapons with CATCHER equipped on it and set out, when you get 1 of each monster Capture all the monsters from 10 different places for the Mars Sigil Also when you capture all the monsters from an area, the monster arena guy will give you rare items and when you capture 10 of each in the area. I added a list of the monsters needed if you need to know which you are missing. I also put little lists of where I could only find them. ------- Besaid ------- Dingo Condor Water Flan -------- Mi'ihen -------- Mi-ihen Fang Ipiria Floating Eye White Element Raldo Vouivre Bomb Dual Horn ----------- Djose Road ----------- Garm Simurgh Bite Bug Snow Flan Bunyip Basilisk Ochu ---------- Macalania ---------- Snow Wolf - I found it only on Lake Macalania, not in the woods Iguion Wasp Evil Eye - I found it only on Lake Macalania, not in the woods Ice Flan - I found it only on Lake Macalania, not in the woods Blue Element - I found it only on Lake Macalania, not in the woods Mulfshoe Mafdet Xiphos Chimera ----------- Calm Lands ----------- Skoll Nebiros Flame Flan Shred Anacoundaur Ogre Coeurl Chimera Brain Malboro ------------ Mt.

But anyways the best thing to do is to max out some of your abilities using spheres gained using Species Conquest [AGILITY and STRENGTH ARE MUSTS] and learn Quick Hit with all ur strongest guys. First off cast HASTEGA or haste on whoever, then use Auto-Life with auto-life ur invincible. Use Quick attack with everyone if u have Auto-Life on everyone. Don't use Overdrives unless u like a nice powerful Ultima to snack on. He uses things like Etheral Cannon, Phsysical attacks, Armageddon [99,999 to all no matter what], Ultra Spark. These are all very hard to live through. Ultra Spark does about 30,000+ even with Defense and Magic Defense maxed out plus adds poison. Etheral is easy to live by, so is physical attack. With Def maxed and Protect up it only does 7000 damage or so. Quick attack is ur best bet. Thats all folks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [13.] SECRETS/MISC. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This section is for the secrets and the stuff I couldn't categorize ----------------------- i.

Omega Ruins ----------------------- iv. Omega Ruins ----------------------- =submitted by: thgink999@netscape.net= Hi, I was playing around with the Omega Ruins treasure chests (over and over, I might add) and found something I have not seen in ANY other FAQ to date. True there is no obvious order to opening chests or the content being the same in that chest one Save to the next, it all totally random...EXCEPT that the actual sum total of the individual items remains the same, In other words the actual items list is constant, just placed in different chests. The KICKER is...IF you open ALL the chests without a fight...the contents of the LAST chest is Warp Sphere x99 !!!!! Here's the list of items to be found in the Omega Ruins Chests. This is the actual order I received them last time I did it starting with the small room on the right as you enter the Ruins and continuing clockwise on the map ending up at the four chests. Lv.4 Sphere x1 Defending Bracer Turnover Lv.3 Sphere x2 Defending Armlet Friend Sphere Lv.4 Sphere x1 Phantom Ring Cactuar Wizard War Monger Teleport Sphere x2 Warp Sphere x99 -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- I recommend getting Yuna's Ultimate Weapon and Tidus's Ultimate Weapon before coming here. For more info on Ultimate Weapons check the Ultimate Weapons section. Use the coordinates in this section I gave you and go in there. You will have a tiny event that tells you the history of Omega Ruins. This area is just crawling with hard enemies. Here the minimap isn't worth anything until you go over everythingbecause things appear as you go over it. When you see a hallway go right until you come to a treasure chest area. Grab the treasures. Pick the wrong one and you will be attacked and the treasures dissapear. Go back to where the save sphere is and go left get the chests their. Return to the save sphere and save then go left and right go left and follow the path to the glyph on the wall. Go north from their to a room that has 4 treasure chests, get the treasures. The Al Bhed Primer Vol. XXVI. Go northwest from this room into a corridor, follow it to another glyph. Activate the glyph. Goto the central area and a bridge leading to a chest will be their. Grab the Teleport Sphere and move on. Continue to the room with 4 chests and go northeast their is a pad. Above Ultima Weapon is their. Step on the elevator and go straight you will now fight...... ================================================ BOSS: Ultima Weapon HP: 70,000 MP: 1 AP: 40,000 GIL: 20,000 STEAL: 10 Door's to Tomorrow WEAKNESS: Nothing ITEMS: 3 Lvl. 3 Key Sphere BRIBE: 140,000 for 99 Pendulum An easy way to beat him is just to use Bribe and bribe him for 140,000 GIL to get 99 Pendulum. If you choose to fight him have Tidus use Hastega have Yuna use Valefor's Energy Blast and Ultima Weapon should be gone for close to 3/4 of his life. Finish it off with your Main Characters or just other Aeons. If you don't want to use that method. Hastega, Shell, and Protect are the way to go. Regen will work if you have that. Use everyones Overdrives and he should be dead. If not follow up using Aeons Overdrives and hes a gonner. Easier than expected. =suggestion by: MistaK= For ultima weapon all i'd really suggest is that you get armor that equips against status ailments (stoneproof, confuseproof, auto-med) and try to inflict silence and darkness on him since he's not completely immune to them.. you can steal from him to gain 10 doors to tomorrow, which will let you add the Overdrive to AP ability to a weapon ================================================ Save after that at the save sphere and continue. Along this path are Enemies in each circle. Defeat them on the way. Also their is a Friend sphere around here on the left. Go back to the entrance when you on past the entrance and when you are nearing the end. Heal your guys completely and save. Move into the circle at the end. ================================================ BOSS: Omega Weapon HP: 99,999 MP: 1 AP: 50,000 GIL: 30,000 STEAL: 30 Gambler's Spirit WEAKNESS: Nothing / Cuts Elemental Magic in Half ITEMS: 3 Lvl. 4 Key Spheres LANCET: Nova He is slow so use Hastega. Before doing anything lancet Nova unless you want to take 30 hours or over capturing 1000 monsters to get it again. Use Overdrives and Aeons overdrives. Use Esuna, and if you want Protect/Shell/Regen/Auto-Life if you want security. This fight is way easier than in the past final fantasy's im sort of disappointed but what can I say, hes not the strongest in the game. =suggestion by: MistaK= well omega's immune to pretty much every status ailment, so its probably best to strengthen your own defense with hastega and shell and maybe skills like focus, he uses mostly magic attacks so shell helps alot and magic works better than physically attacking cause his defense is a lot higher than his magic defense. --------------- v. THE AL BHED ---------------- Throughout Final Fantasy X, their is a language known as Al Bhed, you will find people talking and signs all over the world with it and the only way to decipher it is to collect the primers but if you have lots of time you can learn it yourself or just write down the letters and whenever they come out just write them out.

Sometimes they won't leave when you pay them, which is not fair hehe and they may not give you the items number that is listed below which still isn't fair. Oh well, you can only get most of these items by bribing or by Monster Arena. CB made a Bribe list [surprised?] well here is her list to save up more loading time. http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_bribe.txt ———— QUICK LIST FOR USEFUL ITEMS ———— Lvl. 3 Key Sphere x40 for 900,000 gil from Demonolith Lvl. 4 Key Sphere x2 for 196,000 gil from Chimera Brain Skill Sphere x2 for 360,000 gil from Zu White Magic Sphere x2 for 256,000 gil from Dark Flan Black Magic Sphere x2 for 152,000 gil from Black Element Mega Phoenix x2 for 8,600 gil from the Alcyone Special Sphere x6 for 1,088,000 gil from Adamantoise Chocobo Wing x60 for 360,000 gil from Machea Wings to Discovery x4 for 540,000 gil from Malboro Pendulum x99 for 1,400,000 from Ultima Weapon [1 TIME ONLY] Remedy x80 for 92,980 gil from Lord Ochu Remedy x8 for 15,600 gil from Ragora Supreme Gem x20 for 260,000 from Halma Stamina Tablet x50 for 188,000 from Ogre Mega Elixir x20 for 1,120,000 gil from Varuna Return Sphere x3 for 36,000 gil from Dark Element ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [17.] MOVIE SPHERES/MUSIC SPHERES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those of you who have seemed to get everything in the game and loved it. Here is something you may not know, in Luca their is a Luca Theater go into the back and their are 2 little jester looking guys. Talk to one of them and one lets you purchase Movie Spheres and the other lets you purchase Music Spheres. Each lets you purchase a movie you have seen, so you can view them whenever you like, same goes with the music spheres except with music. To purchase these spheres goto Luca and goto the Luca Theater [in the back] talk to the 2 guys, and to watch them talk to the people behind them and say yes or whatever. Go up to the panel and watch em! Movie Spheres: # of movie spheres x 5,000 gil Music Spheres: # of music spheres x 2,000 gil These are very neat to watch and to show your friends what you have done to brag to them =] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [18.] FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q: Can you get past the limation of 9999 HP and 999 for MP? A: YES! IF you manage to get 30x Wings to Discovery [bribe them from Malboros] and customize it into your armor for a Break HP Limit added to it. And for 999 MP Break...Yes, 30x Three Stars will do this. If you get Monsters Arena monsters [forgot which Area] he will give you 60x Three Stars, i recommend use for Lulu, and Yuna as they are your main magic users. Q: Can I get the Jecht Shot again if I forgot it on the S.S. Winno? A: Yes, Sadley not till the end of the game when you get the Airship. Return to Kilika and take the ship to Luca their you will be given the chance again. Read the tutorial and good luck Q: Where can I get all the Hidden Aeons? A: Check the Aeons Section Q: If I miss any temples' Destruction Spheres' can I return to get them? A: Sadley, all of them but Bevelle. The rest are accessable. =thanks to: COR121@aol.com= =I was just letting you know that to get Anima, You DO NOT have to go back to Bevelle, because well, one, you can't, and two, it isn't necsessary to get the hidden tresure, because the destruction sphere was already used to complete the main puzzle.= ========================================================================== NOTE: BEVELLE IS ALREADY LIT NO MATTER WHAT SO STOP ASKING HOW TO GET BACK INTO BEVELLE, YOU CANT!! WHEN YOU WALK IN HERE IS WHAT THE STATUES ARE --------------------- | BESAID | BEVELLE | --------------------- | MACALANIA | DJOSE | --------------------- | ZANARKAND | KILIKA | --------------------- ============================================================================= Q: I go back to the temple but guards chase me out, how can I get in? A: When you get the airship goto Highbridge, after the events , they will be accessible. Q: What does Trio of 9999 do? A: It makes your entire party hit for 9999, to get it goto the Mix Section search for it their. Q: Can you tell me the ending story? A: Ummm, No you have to learn it yourself =] Q: If you have Break Max Damage on your weapon does it effect magic? A: Yes, It does Q: In the Blitzball tutorial it says something like Techcopy why does it never show up? A: This too puzzled me, the fact is you must watch a certain person to learn it. Or mark them with a person. Q: Your directions suck, why? A: First off, I wrote em how I saw them, secondly why don't you figure it out? If your lost read and if you see anything that I describe that looks like it..... hmm thats probably it. Q: I got the ultimate weapons and the sigils and crests but It still says NO AP option on it. What am I doing wrong? A: Once you get to them, goto where the Cloudy Mirror was upgraded to a Celestial Mirror. Talk to the big thing and it will ask you to present the "Celestial Weapons" those are the ultimate weapons. Present them twice, once for the crest and once for the sigil. Q: If I missed Belgemine to get the Summoner's Soul is their anyway to get it? A: =thanks to: jt_bounds@hotmail.com & Kyk2496@aol.com= If you miss the summoners soul just go to the temple where you get the Magus Sisters and fight Belgemine and she will give it to you. You also get the Aeon's Soul if you missed it also. Q: What level do I need to be to beable to learn Jecht Shot 2 A: Any level as long as you have Tidus's key abilities ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [19.] SURVEY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well I got bored and I have loved all the emails you all have sent me complimenting. I liked this game alot and I want to know what YOU think. I will choose the first 5 people who email me answering ALL of these questions. You email will be posted next to what you have said. I will also put my opinions below first. The people will be added next version. =============================================== 1. What did you like about Final Fantasy X =============================================== spira: I liked the music, the voice acting, the battle system, ability to go over max damage, and enemies more stronger than the final boss [MONSTER ARENA] so I don't beat it and lock her back up into the case. ==================================================== 2. What did you think they could of improved on? ==================================================== spira: Well, I wish their was a world map to go on instead of inputing coordinates. I also wanted some sidequests like FF7 where their was alot to do. I wanted chocobos to be more of use [E.G. FF7 was used to get certain materia, FF8 - used to get some cards and items, FF9-needed for ultimate weapon] all chocobo's really did was help you across the calm lands and get you the sun sigil for tidus. It would of been a great help if it was in the desert. ==================================================== 3. What are your 3 favorite characters in FFX? ==================================================== spira: personally Tidus, Jecht, Yuna ==================================================== 4. What did you think of the ending? ==================================================== spira: Was okay, not as good as expected ==================================================== 5. Did you think the puzzles could of been better? ==================================================== spira: yes, this game was easy to figure out where to go, first of all the mini-map let you know where everything was, even though thats a help, its sort of boring to know where you are going, because you miss important items when just going straight to it. second of all ff7, ff8, ff9 had secret places to go and required certain things to be done earlier and the only thing tricky on ffx was the cloister of trials. ==================================================== 6. What do you think about Seymour ==================================================== spira: LOSER, shouldnt of become such a demon child ==================================================== 7. Who was the cutest LOOKING girl in FFX? ==================================================== spira: hmm, i would say Yuna =========================================================================== 8. If you could rate FFX on a scale from 1 - 10, what would it be, and why =========================================================================== spira: 8, i mean it was good but alot of stuff i felt was missing, can't put my finger on it, but it was less invigorating then when i was playing the other final fantasy's. ======================================================================= 9. What would you say if the Final Fantasy series was ended after FFXI ======================================================================= spira: i would go mad, they are the best RPG's out. Each with their own unique quality. Even though it will stop I doubt it would be soon, as PS2 has just hit the market and they are still trying to max PS2's full potentential [EXAMPLE: Remember how FF7 was sort of choppy in the graphics when it was the first PS game out, then they went all the way to 9 which you see has improved considerably in graphics, i feel PS2 will be the same way]. Final Fantasy has been Squaresofts best series and most beneficial in profits. ============================================================================= 10. Do you like my FAQ? What do you think should be added after version [4.3] ============================================================================= spira: I'll leave you guys to decide that =] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [20.] CREDITS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would like to thank: -CB for their info *HER* Ultimate Weapons/Mixing list info -Acclaim99 for lots of valuable info -hero-001 for lots of help on this, thanks -Playonline for valuable help -Mystik for his Omega and Ultima Weapon help -COR121@aol.com for giving me valuable info on Bevelle Temple -No1kornkid4eva@aol.com for thoughts -bzan39@hotmail.com for Seymour Natus help -mjolner75@attbi.com for his Cactuar Hunter correction -drumpunk10@hotmail.com for his Seymour Flux help -RRAGANS@CFL.RR.COM for his Seymour Flux help -thgink999@netscape.net for his Omega Dungeon explanation!! -Drewx19@aol.com for his strategy on the Lightning Dodger -xxcrimsondragon@hotmail.com for his Defender X strategy -jt_bounds@hotmail.com & Kyk2496@aol.com for telling me that you can get the Summoner's Soul and Aeon's Soul by going to Remiem Temple -pdude23@hotmail.com for his Blitz Ace correction -AlucardEscobar for his brief origin explanation on the God Hand and Masamune -All the people in #ffx on Dalnet on IRC -Everyone on Questria -Gamefaqs.com -Squaresoft and Sony!
