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!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------- | SUPER BASICS [ CHARACTER & AEONS STAT ABILITIES ] | |----------------------------------------------------------| | STATUS | WHAT IT IS | |----------------------------------------------------------| | Strength | The total power of your physical attacks | |----------------------------------------------------------| | Defense | Your resistance to physical attacks | |----------------------------------------------------------| | Magic | The total power of your magical attacks | |----------------------------------------------------------| | Magic | Your resistance to magical attacks | | Defense | | |----------------------------------------------------------| | | Decreases the time inbetween turns in | | Agility | other words the faster you are the more times | | | your characters turn will come up | |----------------------------------------------------------| | Luck | Determines the chance of your Critical Hit | |----------------------------------------------------------| | Evade | Chance of dodging or escaping an attack. | | | It gives you a freebie turn | |----------------------------------------------------------| | Accuracy | The chance of a physical attacks hitting them | ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- | ELEMENTAL BASICS | |----------------------------| | ELEMENT | OPPOSING ELEMENT | |----------------------------| | Fire | Ice | |----------------------------| | Ice | Fire | |----------------------------| | Water | Thunder | |----------------------------| | Thunder | Water | ---------------------------- Now the chart above tells which elements do more damage EXAMPLE: Lets say I use Fire on an Iced elemental monster, the damage will be double the damage than if you did it on another monster. Lets say you used fire on a fire monster, 1 of 2 things could happen...... 1) The damage will be really small 2) The monster will Absorb the damage [changes damage into health] Keep this in mind it might become a life and death situation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [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.

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.

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.

The rest are accessable after you goto the highland bridge. =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!!

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 the Ultimate Weapon 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.

You also get the Aeon\'s Soul if you missed it also. *Q* Wheres your walkthrough of the Zanarkand Visit #2? Well its up in the Aeons section under Anima where i thought it would make more sense to put..... but people are blind so ill post it here also: -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ############## Cloister of Trials - Zanarkand/Visit #2############## Zanarkand is the one you need. Go back into the temple you will meet Yuna\'s Rival, after the little talk go back in and step on all 3 white squares in the first room and all the white squares in the big one, if you mess it up all the white squares in both rooms will reset. This opens up a Destruction sphere grab it and put it into the right side of the panel in the big room. A treasure will open up and you will get the Magistral Rod. Go back to the Baaj Temple and go back to the room they will now open up a door for you to make him accessable.

SOLUTION is get better, get the Ultimate Weapons the Break HP limit, Auto-life, with Auto-life it makes virtually anything beatable. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- [5.] STATUS EFFECTS ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- As most of you know throughout the Final Fantasy Series their have been status effects which cause harm to your character and needs a certain treatment for it, here is a chart to help you with the new and changing effects. But also their are good status effects that you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ailment | Symptoms | Treatment | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Berserk | Strength increases but can\'t be | Esuna, Remedy | | | controlled. | | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Confusion | Uncontrollable and may attack | Esuna, Remedy | | | allies. | Physical Attack | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Curse | Overdrive bar freezes, disabled | Dispel, Holy Water | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Darkness | Accuracy is extremely reduced | Esuna, Eye Drops | | | for physical attacks. | Remedy | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Doom | Number appears above ally, if it | Ending the Battle | | | reaches 0 ally is KO\'d. | Auto-life helps | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | KO | Cannot participate in battle. | Life Spells | | | | Phoenix Items | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Petrify | Cannot participate in battle. | Soft, Esuna | | | | Remedy | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Poison | Takes damage after turn. | Remedy, Esuna | | | | Antidote | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Silence | Spells are disabled | Esuna, Remedy | | | | Echo Screen | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Sleep | Cannot participate in battle | Esuna, Remedy | | | | Physical Attack | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Slow | Agility lowers, slow turns | Esuna, Remedy | | | | Haste, Hastega | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Zombie | Takes damage from cure magic | Holy Water, Remedy | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Protect | Cuts Physical Damage by 1/2 | Dispel | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Shell | Cuts Magical Damage by 1/2 | Dispel | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Regen | Gradually Increases HP Per Turn | Dispel | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Reflect | Reflects Magic back at the users | Dispel | |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------------| | Auto-life | Atoumatically revives once KO\'d | Dispel/KO | ------------------------------------------------------------------- Theirs a complete list on what they do. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [6.] The Sphere Board ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ No I will not draw out a little thing of the menu for you with the different computer symbols, I have better things to do =P plus I think you are all smart enough to know what it looks like. The Sphere Board is quite unique to the Final Fantasy series, now how it works. 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 node into an unactivated HP node MP Sphere = Turns node into an unactivated MP node Strength Sphere = Turns node into an unactivated Strength node Defense Sphere = Turns node into an unactivated Defense node Magic Sphere = Turns node into an unactivated Magic node Magic Defense Sphere = Turns node into an unactivated M. Defense node Agility Sphere = Turns node into an unactivated Agility node Evasion Sphere = Turns node into an unactivated Evasion node Accuracy Sphere = Turns node into an unactivated Accuracy node Luck Sphere = Turns 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. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [7.] 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. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [8.] 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 later in the game. To activate tech copy you must pick a guy to guard on the last screen of the blitball selection. 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.

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 they kept the Aeon name, 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 but CURSE. 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 spend lots of items 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. The only way to revive them is to defeat some monsters in a certain times in battle OR to touch a save sphere. ======================================================================= 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.

These guys have VERY VERY powerful attacks that can easily kill you in an instant. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- NOTE1: Like your Aeons they are also immune to status effects except Curse and is also immune to Breaks. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- NOTE2: Just before they get Overdrive it should be noted that each time you should cast AUTO-LIFE on all your characters. Ribbon DOES NOT prevent KO / Death, but Deathproof DOES. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- NOTE3: ZANMATO CAN KILL THESE IN 1 HIT SO PRAY FOR IT WHEN YOU GET YOJIMBO - thx to the millions of u who mailed me about it =OP - -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- NOTE4: BEFORE YOU EVEN START IT IS SUGGESTED TO MAX OUT YOUR SPHERE BOARD AND MAX OUT MOST OF YOUR STATS. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- NOTE5: INSTANT KILL = 99,999 Damage -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- BOSS: Dark Valefor -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ HP: 800,000 AP: 15,000 (overkill) Items: Dark Matter x2 Equip: Double Header / Genji Shield Steal: X-Potion x4 Attacks: Energy Ray - deals 10,000+ damage on all characters Energy Blast - deals 22,000+ damage on all characters Elemental Immunities: None, but half damage on all Elements Recommended Armor Abilities: Break HP Limit, Auto Pheonix Recommended Weapon Abilities: Break Damage Limit, 1 MP Cost Location: You\'ll find him at the entrance of Besaid Village. A summoner will block your path and summon Dark Valefor. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- I recommend that you have an Accuracy of at least 80, if not repeatedly cast Aim on yourself. Cast Hastega immediately at the beginning of the battle. Set your Overdrive Mode to Stoic (this is your best choice) Start attacking after that, use Tidus\' Blitz Ace Overdrive and Wakka\'s Attack Reels. He\'ll die soon enough. Dark Valefor uses Energy Ray first then immediately follows with Energy Blast once his overdrive gauge is full. Save yourself with Auto-Life. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ BOSS: Dark Ifrit -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ HP: 1,400,000 AP: 20,000 (normal) 30,000 (overkill) Items: Dark Matter x2 Equip: Arcane Ring / Soul of Mog Steal: Mega Pheonix x2 Attacks: Meteorstrike - 21,000+ damage on 1 target.

You must choose yes and he\'ll ask you to look by the cliff. You\'ll see Dark Ifrit there. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- It is recommended that all members of your battle party has Auto-Life and Hastega with them. This will be easy if you have the Fire Eater ability. Now, cast Hastega on yourself, then Auto-Life on all your party members. His physical attacks are pretty powerful so you should also have Protect, but even so you\'ll still die if your HP isn\'t high enough. If you have the Fire Eater ability, Meteorstrike won\'t hurt you but heal you instead. Recast Auto Life if necessary and continue attacking. Once his overdrive gauge is full, summon an aeon to block. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ BOSS: Dark Ixion -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ HP: 1,200,000 AP: 20,000 (normal) 30,000 (overkill) Items: Dark Matter x4 Equip: Ochre Bangle / Ochre Bracer Steal: Stamina Tablet x2 Attacks: 1st Battle: Thundaja - 4000+ damage on 1 character Aerospark - 20,000+ 1 character Physical Attacks - causes Sleep 2nd Battle: Aerospark - Instant kill (99,999 damage) on 1 character.

Recommended Armor Abilities: Sleepproof, Auto-Pheonix, Break HP Limit, Lightning Eater Recommended Weapon Abilities: Break Damage Limit, Counterattack, Magic Booster, 1 MP Cost Location: Talk to the soldier under the lightning rod tower, north of the agency. Once you do, he\'ll run off and call a summoner who will then summon Dark Ixion. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Your very first move should be Hastega then Auto-Life on all your party members. Lightning Eater will protect you from Thundaja, but not from Aerospark. Remember that there is no way you can prevent Full Break. Now, with that in mind start attacking. Doublecast Ultima as much as you can.If you have your overdrives available, don\'t use it just yet, save it for later. His overdrive will only be Aerospark. When you fight him for the second time, cast Hastega on yourself then Auto-Life on all your party members. Unleash your overdrives and keep Double-casting Ultima. Once he does Aerospark, one of your characters will diefor sure, but with Auto-Life you shouldn\'t worry. When his overdrive gauge is full it is important that you immediately summon an aeon to block if your HP isn\'t high enough. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ BOSS: Dark Shiva -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ HP: 1,100,000 AP: 20,000 (normal) 30,000 (overkill) Items: Dark Matter x2 Equip: Rod of Ice / Excalibur Steal: Mana Tablet x4 Attacks: Physical Attacks - 4000+ damage to a character. Heavenly Strike - causes KO / death Diamond Dust - 30,000+ damage on all characters. Elemental Immunities: Absorbs Ice, Immune against Water & Lightning, Half damage against Fire Recommended Armor Abilities: Break HP Limit, Auto Pheonix, Deathproof Recommended Weapon Abilities: Break Damage Limit, Double Overdrive, 1 MP Cost, Counterattack / Magic Booster Location: Macalania Temple Entrance. A Guado Guard will block your path and summon Dark Shiva. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- It is required for your party to have high defense, otherwise she will simply kick you and you\'re dead. Cast Hastega first, Aim, then Auto-Life on your entire party, start attacking with Quick Hit after that. Her Heavenly Strike causes Death, but with Deathproof you\'ll be fine. Recast Auto-Life if necessary. Once her overdrive gauge is full, summon an aeon immediately to save yourself. Once she\'s dead, an infinite supply of Guado Guadians will emerge from the temple, so never bother to think about killing all of them. Just run. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ BOSS: Dark Bahamut -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ HP: 4,000,000 AP: 30,000 (normal) 40,000 (overkill) Items: Dark Matter Equip: Super Goalie Steal: Twin Stars x2 Attacks: Physical Attacks - 12,000-13,000 damage on 1 character.

Recommended Weapon Abilities: Break Damage Limit, Magic Booster, Double Overdrive, 1 MP Cost Location: Zanarkand Dome. (the place where you fought Yunalesca) Dark Bahamut will be waiting there. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- This battle is long and hard. First cast Hastega then Auto-Life on your party, Protect will help too. Start attacking with Quick Hit after that. Make sure your party ALWAYS has Auto-Life, meaning when a character dies and is revived, recast Auto-Life immediately. Be very prepared because once his overdrive gauge is full, he\'ll use Impulse then immediately follow with Mega Flare, so make sure your HP is high enough to survive from Impulse to preserve your Auto-Life, because you\'ll definitely die from Mega Flare. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ BOSS: Dark Yojimbo -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ HP: 1,600,000 AP: 8,000 (normal) 10,000 (overkill) Items: Dark Matter x7, Master Sphere x1 Equip: Nemesis Rod / Ashura / Vendetta / Genji Bracer Steal: Stamina Tonic x2 Elemental Immunities: Regular Damage against Elements including Holy Attacks: Daigoro - 6,000+ damage with Petrify on 1 character Kozuka - 12,000+ damage with Full Break and Curse on 1 character Wakizashi - 22,000+ damage on all characters Zanmoto - instant death on all characters Recommended Armor Abilities: Ribbon, Auto Pheonix, Break HP Limit Recommended Weapon Abilities: Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Magic Booster, 1 MP Cost Location: Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, step on the teleport panel to get to the back of the cave then try to go back out. A summoner will block your path and call Dark Yojimbo. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- You have to fight him 5 times by going after the summoner towards the entrance of the cave. Set your overdrive mode to Stoic. Now, cast Hastega then Auto-Life on your first turn as usual. Start attacking with Quick Hit and keep Doublecasting Ultima. Once his overdrive gauge is full, summon an aeon to block Zanmoto because if you don\'t you\'ll die and reviving won\'t be possible even with Auto-Life. Use your Overdrives as much as possible. There will be a save sphere here, but saving will be useless since if youreload you\'ll have to start over again. So just use it to recover your HP and MP. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ BOSS: Dark Anima -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ HP: 8,000,000 AP: 30,000 (normal) 40,000 (overkill) Items: Dark Matter x2 Equip: Sanctuary Steal: Three Stars x2 Attacks: Physical Attacks - 10,000+ damage with Petrify and Curse on 1 character. Mega-Graviton - MASSIVE damage (46,000+ at 99,999) with Sleep, Blind, Doom, Silence, Curse on all characters. Pain - Instant death on 1 character Oblivion - Instant death + Osmose on all characters.

Gagazet. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- This fight is extremely long and quite hard too. Cast Hastega then Auto-Life on your party and start attacking with Quick Hit. Again, make sure all your party members ALWAYS has Auto-Life. Just summon an Aeon once his overdrive gauge is full to block his DEADLY attack. Also, remember that his Pain will kill a character even with Deathproof, your aeons are not immune to this as well. Rely on Auto-Life to revive you from Mega-Graviton. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ BOSS: Dark Magus Sisters -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ HP: ? AP: 30,000 (normal) 40,000 (overkill) Items: Dark Matter x4, Master Sphere x1 Equip: Excalibur x3 Steal: Mindy - Teleport Sphere Sandy - Friend Sphere Cindy - Return Sphere Attacks: Mindy - Calamity - Casts Poison, Blind, Curse, Silence, Full Break on 1 character Passado - inflicts Death on 1 character Sandy - Physical Attacks - 12,000+ damage with Petrify on 1 character Razzia - Instant death on 1 character (99,999 dmg) Cindy - Camisade - Instant death on 1 character (99,999 dmg) plus Osmose All of them - Delta Attack - Instant Game Over Elemental Immunities: Regular damage against Elements including Holy Recommended Armor Abilities: Ribbon, Auto-Pheonix, Deathproof, Break HP Limit Recommended Weapon Abilities: Break Damage Limit, Magic Booster, 1 MP Cost, Triple Overdrive Location: From the North End of Mi\'ihen Highroad, go north to Mushroom Rock. You\'ll see 2 summoners there, approach them. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- You can run from them and beat them one by one. But lets assume you got caught by all 3. The most important thing to remember here is that they start with a full overdrive gauge. First cast Hastega then Auto-Life on your party. After that summon an aeon at overdrive immediately, preferably Anima and have him do Oblivion and at the same time save you from Delta Attack. Now, pummel Mindy with your character overdrives (Blitz Ace and a perfect 2-Hit Attack Reels) to get rid of her quickly and prevent further Delta Attacks. Once one of them is gone, the two left will do Mega-Graviton when their overdrive gauges are full. Make sure all your party members ALWAYS have Auto-Life, since its hard to predict what they will do next. If it so happened that you got tired of killing each one of them manually, just grand summon Yojimbo and pay him lots of gil (I paid him 1.7 million) and hope that he\'ll do Zanmoto to kill one of them instantly. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ BOSS: Penance -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ HP: BODY - ? ARMS - 600,000 each AP: 90,000 (normal) 100,000 (overkill) Items: Dark Matter x3, Master Sphere x3 Equip: Eternity Steal: Elixir x6 Attacks: Body - Obliteration - 22,000+ damage plus Slow on all characters Right Arm - Calamity - Casts Poison, Blind, Silence, Curse, Full Break on 1 character - Mighty Guard - casts Shell, Protect + Regen - Physical Attack - 33,000+ damage on 1 character Left Arm - Tetra-Graviton - MASSIVE damage on all characters (74,000+ at 99,999) with Status Ailments - Physical Attack - 33,000+ damage on 1 character Elemental Immunities: ? Recommended Armor Abilities: Ribbon, Auto-Pheonix, Break HP Limit, Curseproof Recommended Weapon Abilities: Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, One MP Cost, Magic Booster, Counterattack Location: Select from airship destination list once all Dark Aeons are dead. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- He\'s extremely tough! First cast Hastega then Auto-Life on all your party members. Now, your primary concern is to get rid of the left arm quickly since it carries the biggest threat. (Tetra-Graviton) Once its gone, Double cast Ultima repeatedly. Summon your aeons at overdrive, especially Anima and Magus Sisters. The right arm will cast Mighty Guard on all the parts after a few turns so be ready to use Dispel or Purifying Salt to remove it. But remember that the arms regenerate so you\'ll have to kill it again. Another alternative in defeating Penance is to grand summon Yojimbo and pay him lots of gil again then hope for Zanmato. This occurs randomly and the worst thing is, he does Wakizashi the moment he appears, thus he dies even before you get to pay him for Zanmoto. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [11.] WALKTHROUGH ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ I will not tell you descriptions of movies, just when they happen and other spoilers ill do my best not to do. !!!!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!!!! --NOTE: Use the Minimap, if you get lost the red arrow shows the way --NOTE: All Save Spheres are marked with a white square on the minimap --NOTE: All doors are marked with a greens square --NOTE: Aeons can only be healed/revived at Save Spheres :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: LOCATION: Zanarkand ITEMS: Longsword KEY ITEMS: None MONSTERS: Sinscale :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: When you can move talk to everyone, and they all ask for his auto-graph after a couple minutes of getting through them, you start your Blitzball tournament with a good movie with hardcore music.

Continue on the road and fight the baddies out the Crusader\'s Lodge and tells you to explore.

Head to the temple and talk to everyone then go back out and goto Wakka\'s tent again and take a nap ..... ZZZzzzZZzZzz ...... after that go into the temple and talk to everyone, Tidus of course embarrasses himself and barges in. ######### Cloister of Trials - Besaid Temple ######### —————— Okay now they will give you a tutorial on the Cloister of Trials if you skipped it I will briefly explain. 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. Equip it if you havent and you will get Yuna [Summoner] and Lulu [Black Magic user] added to your party. Just follow the path and tutorials for battling will come up. Keep following the path. When you reach the top go over and talk to the praying Wakka [right], he will explain about the prayer.

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 RedArmlet. 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. --submitted by: Blastgator-- First of all I should tell you that I had run out of Ability Spheres before I could get Yuna To learn Nulltide,Nullshock, and Nullfrost. So I did manage to get Nullblaze. So enough with that here is what I did. First off I had Tidus use Haste on Yuna So she could have 2 turns and heal any body that was hurt With her Cure.On Yuna\'s turn I had her talk to Seymore to increase her magical defence. I then swithced Kimarhi for Rikku and had her steal a Hi-Potion from one of the Guado Guards Seymore and His guards attacked. I then had Tidus use haste on himself. Then had yuna heal everyone hurt by seymore. I then had Rikku steal the last Hi-potion from the last guado guard. It was seymore turns. I then started attacking the guado guards with Tidus. Had yuna heal then swithced Rikku for Auron since he was my strongest character at the time and had him finish off the last guard. Seymore\'s turn. I had Tidus talk to seymore to double his strength. Had yuna heal. Then I had Auron use The shooting stat overdrive for around 2,000 damage Then It was Tidus \'s turn again so I had him use the regular attack and it did over 2,000 damage. He then summomed Anima so I summoned Shiva and was doing a great job till he used Anima\'s overdrive and destroyed shiva. So I summoned Ixion and destroyed Anima. Seymore then attacks Ixion with thunder healing it from battle So I attacked him with areospark,but he retaliated with water nocking Ixion out. I then just used Auron to kill him. I give you my permission to word this around a little bit and and put it in your walkthrough to help people that made the same mistake I did And did not level up Yuna quicke ================================================ 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!

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.

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.
