Ultimate Weapons hints and tips for Final Fantasy X

Ultimate Weapons

Ok, some people have been asking how to get the Ultimate Weapons, so listen up.

You need the Cloudy Mirror, you need this to be able to open the chests. The crest and sigil make the Ultimate Weapons stronger.

To get the Cloudy Mirror, go to the southwest part of Calm Lands on a chocobo. Press O on the feather and the chocobo will fly down below. Here, there will be an intersection. Go left and examine the sphere, you'll also see the champion chocobo. Now, go right at the intersection and ride the chocobo. The race will start, your goal is to get to the central platform ahead of the champion chocobo. You'll receive the Cloudy Mirror if you win.

You need the Celestial Mirror in order to acquire the ultimate weapons for each character but first you should have the Cloudy Mirror. Now, go to Macalania Woods. Talk to the mother and child here and they will tell you that their husband/father is missing. Go east to the next area, here go west and you'll see the guy. Tell him that his family is waiting for him

Go back to the couple and they'll tell you that their child is missing. Now from the save sphere, find a crystal path and go up, at the intersection head north and you'll find the boy. Use the Cloudy Mirror there and it will become the Celestial Mirror.

Another thing, you should know that when you initially get a weapon, it will possess nothing more than the No AP ablity, rendering it useless. You will need Crests and Sigils to maximize the power of each weapon.

� Tidus (Caladbolg) Requirements: Sun Crest, Sun Sigil You can obtain the Sun Crest from a chest at the area where you fought Yunalesca.

As for the Sigil, well... You have to endure hours after hours of annoyance and frustration. Anyway, to get it you have to race with the Chocobo Trainer in Calm Lands. You need to acheive a time of 0.0, that would mean getting 14 balloons and hitting only 1 bird, if you reach the finish line at 39 seconds or less. But it is better if you don't let any birds hit you. It is very important that you get 4 or better yet all of the balloons at the beginning of the race. As you progress however, getting the balloons will be significantly harder since it will be scattered randomly all over the track. Not to mention both the Trainer herself and the birds getting in your way. Good Luck!

Once you have both items, go to the northern area of Calm Lands and find a slope that leads below. Examine the glyph and use the Celestial Mirror there. You'll receive the Caladbolg.

� Yuna (Nirvana) Requirements: Moon Crest, Moon Sigil You can get the Moon Crest from a chest at Besaid Beach.

You'll receive the Moon Sigil from Belgemine once you beat all her Aeons in Remiem Temple.

Here's a list of all the items you'll receive from her every time you defeat each of her aeons:

Valefor � Aeon's Soul / Lightning Gem x4

Ifrit � X-Potion x30

Ixion � Chocobo Feather x10

Shiva � Mega-Potion x60

Bahamut � Flower Scepter

Yojimbo � Shadow Gem x8

Anima � Stamina Spring x60

Magus Sisters � Shining Gem x40

If you caught all the monsters in Calm Lands, the Trainer will give you a chest which requires the Celestial Mirror to open. Get the Nirvana there.

� Auron (Masamune) Requirements: Mars Crest, Mars Sigil You can get the Saturn Crest from a chest at the south most end of the Old Road. (Mi'ihen Highroad)

You will receive the Saturn Sigil from the Monster Trainer in Calm Lands once you have captured at least 1 of all the fiends from at least 10 areas.

To get the Masamune, you will need the Rusty Sword which can be found stuck in the ground to the east of the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth. Once you have all the items, go back to Mushroom Rock and examine Lord Mi'ihen's statue. Insert the Rusty Sword there and a glyph will appear, examine it and you'll receive the Masamune.

� Wakka (World Champion) Requirements: Jupiter Crest, Jupiter Sigil Go back to the Auroch's Locker Room in Luca and get the Mercury Crest from one of the lockers there.

The Mercury Sigil will appear as a prize at the Blitz Ball League once you completed all of Wakka's Reels. (Attack, Status, Aurochs)

Talk to the bartender at the Cafe in Luca. If you've won enough Blitz Ball games, you'll receive the World Champion.

� Lulu (Onion Knight) Requirements: Venus Crest, Venus Sigil The Mars Crest can be found in a chest at the Farplane, go back there once you have the airship.

The Mars Sigil will be a little harder to acquire. It will require lots of concentration and very little distraction. Now go to the Thunder Plains and try to dodge 200 consecutive lightning bolts. (I strongly recommend having the No Encounters ability here since any random battle might distract you.) Once you're done claim your prize at the Rin Travel Agency.

# of Bolts Prize

5 X-Potion x2

10 Mega-Potion x2

20 MP Sphere x2

50 Strength Sphere x3

100 HP Sphere x3

150 Megalixir x4

200 Mars Sigil

You can get the Onion Knight from a chest that is underwater outside Baaj Temple.

� Rikku (Godhand) Requirements: Mercury Crest, Mercury Sigil You'll find the Venus Crest in a chest that is within a whirlpool at Bikanel Island.

You need to complete the Cactuar Village side quest to get the Venus Crest. This event is triggered once you examine the cactuar stone located somewhere in Bikanel Island. (I don't know the exact location) You have to find all 10 cactuars to gain access to the area blocked by the sandstorm. Here's a list of the 10 Cactuars.

To get the Godhand, go to Mushroom Rock (the one that was unlocked by the GODHAND password) and use the Celestial Mirror to open the treasure chest.

� Kimahri (Spirit Lance) Requirements: Saturn Crest, Saturn Sigil The Jupiter Crest can be found in a chest situated behind one of the pillars at Gagazet Prominence. (where you fought Seymour Flux)

For the Jupiter Sigil you need to catch 7 blue butterflies at Macalania Woods.

To get the Spirit Lance, go to the Thunder Plains and examine 3 Cactuar Stones there with the SQUARE button. A Ghost Cactuar will appear. Now go to Thunder Plains South, then a bit northeast from the save sphere. When you see a fallen lightning rod tower examine it with the SQUARE button to receive the weapon.

Note: Once you have all the weapons and the necessary crests and sigils, go to Macalania Woods and examine one of the white orbs there to complete the ritual and maximize the power of the weapons.
