The Ultimate Cheater

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

You need the Cloudy Mirror.

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.

· 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.
