FAQ/Walkthrough for Final Fantasy X
Parts One & Two -- Complete
============================================================================
ZANARKAND
Party : Tidus, Auron
Enemies : Sinscale, Sinspawn Ammes
Items : Potion (x2)
Equipments : Longsword
Key Items : None
============================================================================
When you gain the control of Tidus, go down the screen and talk to the
ladies standing there. They will ask you an autograph and you will have the
option to rename you main character. For the sake of the guide, I will keep
the default name (Tidus). Once you talked to the girls, go talk to the three
young boys and they will ask you an autograph too. Once you are ready to go,
continue down to the next screen. The three young boys will ask you if you
can teach them how to blitz and a mysterious young boy will tell you that
you can't tonight.
After the scene, you will be on a bridge. Take the time to listen to the
commentator , because you will learn more about Tidus's father, Jecht.
You can also find a nervous girl at the beginning of the bridge. After
speaking to her several times, she will ask you if you have some tickets to
give to her. Tell her that you have some and she will give you two potions.
Continue moving on the bridge until you are at the next screen. You will be
just outside the arena and a huge crowd will come to see you. It's really
hard to see your character in this huge crowd, but keep pressing up on the
left analog stick and you will be able to go through them. You will enter
the huge stadium and get ready for the first CG Movie !
In this movie, you will see the skills of Tidus as a blitzball player, but
there is one little problem : Zanarkand gets attacked by Sin ! When that
event occurs, Tidus will fall down from a high point and he will land
outside the arena. When you regain control of Tidus, move down to meet
Auron. He tells you that he was waiting for you. You will need to follow him
down the screen. You will be on the same bridge you were not to long ago.
Keep moving up until you see a scene with a little boy. Time will stop, the
people will stop running and the little boy will tell you that your story
begins. When you regain control of your character, keep moving up until you
meet Auron. You will be attacked by Sinscales, Auron will give you the
longsword and you will enter in your first fight. You shouldn't have too
much problem winning this one, so keep moving up until you fight the first
boss of the game.
!!!!! BOSS : SINSPAWN AMMES : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 2400 AP : 0
Weakness : None Steal : Nothing
The boss attacks first and he will use Demi on your party. This magic deals
1/4 of your HP. You shouldn't worry too much about this boss, because it is
the only attack it does. By casting Demi to your party, Auron and Tidus will
have their Overdrive Gauges full, so it means party time ! Use Auron's
Dragon Fang attack and use Tidus Spiral Cut Attack. After destroying the
boss's tentacles, this fight will be over.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, quickly go to the save point to regenerate your HP/MP's.
You can also save if you want. Continue moving north until you are attacked
by more Sinscales. During this fight, quickly kill the Sinscales whose wings
starts to flicker. They will deal a lot of damage to your party and they can
kill you in no time. After a while, Auron will tell you to destroy the
tanker hanging from the bridge, so unleash all your attacks on the tanker to
finally destroy it.
You will see a huge explosion and you will find yourself hanging at a ledge.
Auron will help you and he tells you that this is the beginning of your
story.
You will be in a dream like place, press the Circle button to dive. Head for
the person standing on a platform.
============================================================================
AL BHED CASTLE / SHIP
Party : Tidus, Rikku
Enemies : Geosgaeno, Klikk, Piranha, Sahagin, Tros
Items : Potion (X5), Hi-Potion (X2), Ether, 200 Gil
Equipments : None
Key Items : Flint, Withered Bouquet, Al Bhed Primer Vol.1
============================================================================
You will start in the water, all alone. Go to the north by pressing the left
analog stick and the Circle Button to dive under the surface. Once you are
near the stairs to the north, head left to a secret area. When Tidus will
get out of the water, you can explore the area to find an Al Bhed
Compilation Sphere and a chest with two Potions. You can also find another
platform with an Al Bhed sign. Behind that sign you will find a chest with
200 Gil. Return to the stairs and continue north to the next area. Save at
the Save Sphere if you want. Move up until you reach a T-Intersection. Head
left first to grab a chest containing a Hi-Potion. Then return to the
intersection and move up to reach the next area. You will then be attacked,
the bridge will crumble and you will fall in the sea. Three Sahagins will
come to fight you. Once you have disposed of two of them, you will be
attacked by a huge boss !
!!!!! BOSS : GEOSGAENO : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 32,767 (100 to escape) AP : 0
Weakness : None Steal : Nothing
Just keep hurting the boss until you have done the one hundred damage
required to escape. Beware, because the boss will cut your HP in half after
each turn !
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
You will escape the boss just by a little ! Tidus will tell that he needs to
make a fire because it's pretty cold in here ! When you regain control of
your character, head north to the next area. Look for the X on your map,
this is where you will need to make the fire. But, first, you need to find
accessories to make that fire. First, use the Save Sphere to save your game.
Then go through the doors near the Save Sphere. In a drawer, you will find
the Flint. Once you have it, return to the main chamber. Head north and
enter the doors. Before going up the stairs, pick the chest for an Ether.
Head up the stairs and examine the dried flowers to obtain the Withered
Bouquet. Before starting the fire, head right to the next area and pick the
Hi-Potion there. Now return to the main chamber and start that fire !
Tidus will complain about food and he will fall asleep. When he wakes up,
he will be attacked by a boss !
!!!!! BOSS : KLIKK : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 1500 AP : 5
Weakness : None Steal : Grenade
Keep an eye on the CTB Window for this fight and you should be fine. When
you have two turns in a row, heal yourself one turn, then attack the boss.
Keep hurting the boss until a group of Al Bhed blows the door. A girl will
then join you in your fight. You will have a short tutorial on how to use
Grenades in a fight. When it's the girl turn, use what you have learned and
throw a grenade to that boss. When you have no more grenades, just steal one
from the boss. Keep Tidus healing and attacking the party until he his
defeated.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, the group of Al Bhed will attack you. You will wake up in a
strange ship and you will hear the Al Bheds talking, but you don't
understand a thing ! Don't worry though because, you will learn that the
girl can speak your language. Once you get control of your character, talk
to every Al Bhed except the girl, because somebody will give you three
potions. Once you talked to everybody, go save at the Save Sphere, then go
to the right to pick up the first Al Bhed Primer Vol. I. Those books are
used to learn the Al Bhed language. After that, go talk to the girl and she
will tell you how the Sphere Grid works. Once you know how it works, go to
the bottom-left corner to jump off the boat.
You will be in the water, yet again. Remember to use the Circle Button to
descend in the water. You will encounter Piranhas on your way down, don't
forget to steal grenades from them. Head to the red arrow on the map. Once
you have entered the ruins, examine the control panel. You will see the
talent of Tidus with control panels :). Don't forget to use the save sphere
to save your game. Once you regain control of your character, follow the
girl and after a while, you will be attacked by Piranhas. Don't forget to
steal Grenades from them, then dispose of them. After the fight, continue
north and examine the device. Once you have activated it, go back and you
will be attacked by another boss.
!!!!! BOSS : TROS : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 2200 AP : 8
Weakness : None Steal : Grenades
After the first turn, Tros will swim to the other side of the room and you
will see another tutorial, this time on Trigger Commands. Once it's over,
apply what you have learned and choose "Stand By". You party will gain 50
HP. When it's the boss's turn, he will use Nautilus Charge to attack both of
your characters. Recover your characters until the boss goes yet again to
the other side of the room. This time, use the Trigger Command Pincer Attack
to prevent it's Nautilus Charger. Just keep throwing a lot of grenades at
him and he should be defeated in no time.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the battle, follow the girl as she go through a hole in the wall and
follow the red arrow leading you to the ship. You will have a short
conversation with the little girl. She will tell you that her name is Rikku
and that Zanarkand was destroyed 1000 years ago ! You will have an
opportunity to save after the dialogue, so use it and save. After you have
saved, go speak to the girl again and the ship will be attacked by Sin.
Tidus falls off the boat and you should ask yourself where you will be next.
============================================================================
BESAID ISLAND
Party : Tidus, Wakka
Enemies : Condor, Dingo, Garuda, Piranha, Water Flan
Items : Antidote (X4), Phoenix Down (X5), Hi-Potion (X2), 400 Gil,
Potion (X2), Ether, 400 Gil, Remedy
Equipments : Rod of Wisdom, Brotherhood, Seeker's Ring
Key Items : Moon Crest, Al Bhed Primer Vol. II
============================================================================
You will wake up in the water, next to a beautiful beach where Blitzball
Players trains. You aren't in paradise you know. After the CG Movie where
Tidus shows is talents, head to the right, then up to pick the Moon Crest in
a chest. Then return to the water and head left to pick up a chest
containing two Antidotes. Once you have done that, go speak with the
Blitzball players. Speak to them numerous times, they'll give you a lot of
good items. When you are ready, go speak to Wakka. Follow Wakka until he
throws you in the water. There are three items to pick up there. First, swim
south from your landing point and dive underwater to pick a Phoenix Down.
Then, continue north and around a corner to pick up a chest with a
Hi-Potion. Continue until you have no more choice, but the one to turn left.
Search the right wall to find a chest containing two Antidotes. Continue
north and you will see a scene between Tidus and Wakka. Wakka ask you to be
in his team for the next Blitzball tournament held in Luca. Of course, Tidus
will accept. When you are on the ground again, head down the mountain and
head toward the village. Just before entering the village, you will see
another scene when you learn that the Besaid Aurochs have never won a Blitz-
ball game. You will also encounter two Crusaders. After you have talked to
them, head in the village.
Just before you can explore, you will see a scene with Wakka. He will ask
you if you know the prayer. Select any of the two options, it doesn't make
any difference. After this scene, Wakka tells you to go to the Summoner's
Temple, but just before that, you should explore a little. There is a secret
area, between the item shop and the Crusaders Lodge. Go there and pick up
three chests containing a Hi-Potion, 400 Gil, and two Potions. You should
also go to the Crusaders Lodge to learn more about the Crusaders and their
fight to defeat Sin. You can also stay at the inn if you want, but there
isn't much use to that.
Now, I will talk about Sphere Monitors. You can find them almost at every
inns or shops. They seem to be only useful for repeating tutorials, but they
are not. You can use the sphere monitors to learn how to defeat the
strongest fiends in Final Fantasy X. So it's important to check them in
every area.
Once you are done exploring, head in the temple to the north. Inside, speak
to everybody to learn more about Sin and the Summoners goal. When you are
done, head to the central stairs to have a lecture about the principles of
Yevon. When the lecture is over, return to Wakka's house and take a nap.
When you wake up, return to the Temple and go near Wakka. You will learn
that the summoner hasn't returned from the Cloister of Trials and Tidus will
go up the stairs to save the summoner. You will learn that Wakka is also a
guardian and he will help you in your first puzzle experience. The Cloister
of Trials are scattered in each temples of Spira. You need to use magical
spheres to unlock the doors to the Chamber of the Fayth, where summoners
can get new Aeons. Each temples has one treasure, you can get it by using
Destruction spheres.
I will try to be simple in my explanation of unlocking the secrets of the
Cloister of Trials, if you got a better way, you can always e-mail them to
me :).
First, when you regain control of Tidus, examine the glyph on the north
wall. It will open a new glyph. Examine it to open the door. Go through the
door and descend the stairs. You will see something that is coming out of
the wall. Examine it for a little tutorial on spheres. After the tutorial,
pick up the Glyph Sphere and move to the door at the bottom of the stairs.
Put the Sphere in the door to open it. Take the Glyph Sphere back and search
for an overhang on the wall. Insert the Glyph Sphere and go in the room.
You will see a Destruction Sphere there, but just leave it alone for now
and proceed to the next area. Examine the white writings to reveal a Glyph.
Examine this Glyph to open a new area. Enter the area and take the Besaid
Sphere. Insert the Besaid Sphere in the pedestal near the white writings.
You will open a new area. Now go back and pick the Destruction Sphere,
place it where you founded the Besaid Sphere to unlock a secret area. Go
there and pick the chest for a Rod of Wisdom. Return to the pedestal and
push it until it sinks into the floor. Congratulations, you have completed
the first Cloister of Trials !
After completing the Cloister of Trials, you will be in the Chamber of the
Fayth where you will first meet Yuna, she will tell the party that she
finally became a summoner. When you regain control of Tidus, head outside
and head to the village circle where Yuna will summon her first Aeon :
Valefor. Later, you will be around a campfire, where Wakka introduce you to
the Besaid Aurochs. The coach will then tell his team that they got a new
goal and it is... Victory ! Once you get control of Tidus, speak to the
team, then go meet Yuna. She will tell you that tomorrow, you will be on the
same boat as her, so you will get the opportunity to talk more with her.
When you are done, speak to Wakka and tell him you want to sleep. You will
have a strange dream. Just go see Yuna in your dream and follow the story.
You will wake up in the night and you will see Lulu and Wakka talk. Lulu
tells Wakka that you are not Chappu, that Chappu is dead and that he will
never come back. Wakka will enter the tent where you sleep and he will tell
you that Chappu was his brother. At morning, examine the desk to find the Al
Bhed Primer vol. II. Exit the inn and join the others. Wakka will give you
Chappu's sword, the Brotherhood. Lulu and Yuna will join your party from
there. You will need to head to a boat called SS Liki to depart for Kilika
where you can learn a new Aeon for Yuna. Yuna's goal is to defeat Sin like
her father did ten years ago. To do that, Yuna must go through a pilgrimage
and prey at every temple then earn the Final Aeon used to defeat Sin. When
you have defeated Sin, this brings the Calm, where there is no more Sin for
a limited time, then Sin is reborn and the fatal cycle continues. The
teachings says that Sin appeared because of the machina used by the humans.
The teachings also says that when humanity will atone for their crime, Sin
will disappear forever...
Once Yuna joins your group, go back into Besaid and talk to person behind
counter at item shop (it doesn't matter if you buy anything or not). She
will tell you something about her dog digging up something. Go talk to the
dog in the hut closest to the temple on the right. The dog will give you
something mangled and torn, which teaches Valefor the Energy Blast
Overdrive. This overdrive is almost twice as powerful as Energy Ray so it's
a far more effective attack.
When you get control of Tidus, head up the mountain. You will have a fight
there. In that fight, you will learn that Wakka is strong against flying
creatures and you will also learn about elemental properties. At the top of
the mountain, the party will stop to pray. Have Tidus pray with the others,
because it will make Wakka happy. He says that the day his brother didn't
pray, was the day he died. When you are done praying, continue north. You
will see a beautiful ancient structure. There is also an Al Bhed message on
the first column. Continue north and you will be attacked by a strange
beast.
!!!!! BOSS : KIMAHRI : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 750 AP : 0
Weakness : None Steal : Nothing
At the beginning of the battle, cast Cheer on Tidus. Note that Tidus is
alone for this fight. Try to beat him without using too much Potions
because you will need them later on. Your Overdrive gauge will be almost
full near the beginning of the battle, so unleash it on Kimahri.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After you have won the fight, Kimahri will join your party. Use him well
because he starts at the center of the Sphere Grid. That means you can do
whatever you want with him once he has learned his skills. Tidus HP / MP
will be restored and you need to continue on the mountain path. Get ready
for more tutorial fights when Yuna needs to use Valefor against a powerful
enemy and when you will learn how to use Kimahri effectively.
Once you are at the beach, talk to everybody to receive gifts. Here is what
you will get : Seeker's Ring, 400 Gil, Remedy, Ether and three Phoenix
Downs. Once you are done talking with the townsfolk, board the ship !
============================================================================
SS LIKI
Party : Tidus, Wakka, Yuna, Lulu, Kimahri
Enemies : Sin, Sinspawn Echuilles, Sinscale
Items : Potions, Remedy
Equipments : None
Key Items : Al Bhed Primer Vol. III
============================================================================
Finally a little ride on the water. First, go check what the people have to
say about Yuna, then go speak to Wakka to learn more about the mysterious
summoner. After that, go below the deck to find a merchant called O'Aka
XXIII. He will ask you for money. You will see O'Aka at various places in
the game. If you give him a lot of money, he will give you cheaper prices
and he will also sell you rare items, so consider it an investment. After
you gave him the money you want, go down to the Power Room. You will see
some Chocobos there. Look at the bottom corner to find the Al Bhed Primer
Vol. III. Next, head into the cabin. In there, you can kick the luggage to
get a Potion. Each time you are going to kick it, a Potion will come down
until you have twenty of them. You can also pick up a Remedy across the
suitcase.
When you are done exploring, return to the deck and go talk to Yuna. After
some talking, a not welcomed appearance occurs, it's Sin ! It's really not
the time, but, you got to defeat him.
!!!!! BOSS : SIN : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 2000 AP : 10
Weakness : None Steal : Nothing
Sinscales
HP : 200 AP : 2
Weakness : None Steal : Nothing
This is the hardest boss you got to fight until that point. First, take care
of two Sinscales, don't kill the third one, because Sin will send three more
Sinscales. Then, bring Tidus, Wakka and Lulu in your party, have Tidus heal
your party and Wakka and Lulu deal damage on Sin. When Sin is at 1500 HP,
bring Yuna and cast Valefor. Use Valefor's Magic to Sin and wait until is
overdrive gauge is full. Unleash Energy Ray to defeat the first of the two
bosses.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the battle, Tidus will fall down the boat and Wakka rescue Tidus
underwater. Another Underwater Boss will attack you.
!!!!! BOSS : SINSPAWN ECHUILLES : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 2000 AP : 12
Weakness : Darkness Steal : Nothing
You only have Tidus and Wakka for this fight. First, use Wakka's Dark Attack
to blind this tough boss. Now, the boss will not be able to drain HP from
you. Destroy the Sinscales as they appears and try to hurt the boss when you
can. Beware of Echuilles's Blender Attack. Continue to use Wakka's Dark
Attack when you need it. Heal your characters if your HP gets below 100.
Keep doing this until the Boss is defeated.
===========================================
Strategy from NagisaKaworu, seifz@yahoo.com
===========================================
First, cast Darkness on the boss with Wakka. Then, just keep attacking the
boss. Ignore the Sinscales, no matter how much damage they take. In the
long run, its worth keeping them there. If you need to use potions, but try
not to.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
You will see a beautiful and horrifying CG Movie of Sin Destroying Kilika.
You will then be in Kilika.
============================================================================
KILIKA
Party : Tidus, Wakka, Yuna, Lulu, Kimahri
Enemies : Dinonix, Killer Bee, Lord Ochu, Ragora, Yellow Element,
Sinspawn Geneaux
Items : Potion (X3), Ether, Hi-Potion, Elixir, Mana Sphere (X2),
Remedy, Luck Sphere.
Equipments : NulBlaze Shield, Scout
Key Items : Al Bhed Primer Vol. IV
============================================================================
After some scenes, you will get the control of Tidus again. Follow your
party in Kilika. The bar and the shop are closed for now, but don't worry
they will be opened tomorrow. Head to the west to see Yuna perform a
sending. A sending is a guidance to the spirits. Yuna dances and the spirits
are guided to the FarPlane where they will get eternal peace. It is
important to send everyone, because some of the spirits stays in Spira and
they become jealous of humans, so they become fiends. After the beautiful
CG movie, you will go to sleep. When you wake up, one of the Aurochs will
tell you that Wakka wants to see you, but before you go meet Wakka, explore
the town a little. From the inn, head west and save the little girl. When
you have saved her, go to the bar and talk to the barmaid. She will thank
you for saving her little sister and she will tell you that you can pick up
the treasure chest. Do so to get the Ether. You can also find the Al Bhed
Primer vol. IV on the counter.
You can also go to the equipment shop to buy some weapons. Now head north of
the inn to pick up three Potions in a chest. You are ready to go meet Wakka.
He will tell you that Yuna needs to go pray at the temple, so get ready and
get into the forest.
Go north and you will fight in another Tutorial battle. This time you will
learn how to use Kimahri's Lancet Ability. Use it to learn the Seed Cannon
attack from the Ragora. To the north, you can find another Al Bhed sign.
Continue north to meet Luzzu and Gatta. They will introduce you to Ochu, an
"unbeatable" boss. If you want to fight that boss, continue reading here.
!!!!! BOSS : LORD OCHU : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 4649 AP : 40
Weakness : Fire Steal : Nothing
This can be an easy battle if you know how to proceed. Ochu weakness is
fire, so bring Lulu in your party and cast fire on him. If you have Haste
with Tidus, cast it on Lulu. Use Wakka's Silence Attack if you have it. It's
really important to have the Sensor ability for this fight. When Ochu HP are
below 2000, it will start to sleep and it will regain HP. Quickly attack
him, then summon Valefor. Use two Fire spells and Sonic Wings to delay his
turn. When you have your Overdrive, unleash Energy Ray to put an end to this
boss.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
If you defeat Ochu, speak to Luzzu and he will give you an Elixir. Return to
the Save Sphere to Heal / Save and you are ready to go through the forest.
From the Save Sphere, turn right to find a chest with two Mana Spheres.
Return to the Save Sphere and head left this time. When you can turn right,
turn right and continue to find a chest containing a Scout. Go back to the
Save Sphere again. This time head all the way up, until you can't go up
anymore. Turn left to find a chest with a Luck Sphere. Then turn around and
at the first intersection you see, turn left. Continue until you see another
intersection and turn left again. After a while, you should see a set of
stairs, head there and your trip through the forest is over.
At the stairs, everyone race up to see who is the fastest. Take this
opportunity to save, equip new equipment and spend S.Lvl if you have any.
Once you are ready, talk to Lulu and head up the stairs to fight another
boss...
!!!!! BOSS : SINSPAWN GENEAUX : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 3000 (body) AP : 53
450 (tentacles)
Weakness : Fire Steal : Nothing
Oh no ! Not another one of those ! Actually, this fight is pretty easy. Take
care of the tentacles first. Then have Tidus cast Haste on Lulu so she can
keep hurting the boss with Fire Magic. Once you have killed his tentacles,
you will see the true form of Geneaux. Now you can attack him with physical
attacks ! Just keep healing and attacking and you should be fine.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, go to the Save Sphere to save your game and head inside the
Kilika Temple Courtyard. There, you will meet your real blitzball rivals,
the Luca Goers. After speaking to everybody, head inside the temple.
There you will meet Yuna's rival, Dona and her guardian. Your party except
Tidus, because he is not a guardian yet, will enter the Cloister of Trials,
go back and Dona's guardian will force you to go inside the Cloister of
Trials.
This time, it's a little more complicated than in Besaid. First, take the
Kilika Sphere from the pedestal to the left. Put that sphere in the slot
near the door. The door will burn, but you can't go in yet. Take the sphere
back and the fire will stop. Head to the next area. Insert the Kilikia
Sphere in the slot on the north wall and notice the glyph that appears.
Remove the Sphere again and insert it in the slot on the left wall. Touch
the glyph to open the wall. Remove the Glyph Sphere and put it in the
opening on the right wall. Enter the next area, a piece filled with fire,
and step on the glowing floor to move the pedestal in this area. Next, take
the Kilika Sphere from the right wall to extinguish the fire. Put the Sphere
into the pedestal. Now, go take the Glyph Sphere and place it in the wall
you founded the sphere to extinguish the fire. You will open a secret area.
Now, you need to push the pedestal on the glowing floor switch to make the
platform drop. Head downstairs and pick another Kilika Sphere on the wall.
Place it into the slot near the exit. Now, it's time to pick up the
Destruction Sphere. This sphere is located in the secret area you have
opened. Take it and put it where you took the previous Kilika Sphere. You
will open another secret area, open the chest to find the Red Armlet. Now,
pick up the Kilika Sphere near the exit to extinguish the fire and head
through the door.
Speak to everybody except Wakka. Once you have talked to everybody, go talk
to Wakka two times and attempt to exit the area to see Yuna coming out. You
will now have a new Aeon, this one is called Ifrit !
Now, leave the temple and return to the village. Prepare yourself and when
you are ready, join your party at the pier and choose the option to embark.
============================================================================
SS WINNO
Party : Tidus, Wakka, Yuna, Lulu, Kimahri
Enemies : None
Items : None
Equipments : None
Key Items : Al Bhed Primer Vol. V
============================================================================
Exit your cabin and go talk to O'Aka, he will ask you Gil again, give him if
you want. Just remember what I told you before. Once you are done, head to
the deck. You can go up the stairs again to see Wakka and Lulu speak. They
will tell four or five different things, so keep going up the stairs a lot
of times. When you are done, enter the bridge and pick up the Al Bhed Primer
Vol. V.
Now, get to the rear of the boat to see a conversation between Yuna and the
Luca Goers. Once you are done, go save your game and return to the lower
deck and check the blitzball to start the Jecht Shot Challenge.
Tidus wants to know if he is capable of mastering his dad's almighty Jetch
Shot. First, you will have some practice, then it's time for the real thing.
When there is words popping up, press the left analog stick in that
direction and press the X Button. If you succeed eleven times, Tidus will
perform the move correctly and you will have learned the Almighty Jecht Shot
Mark III. It's a very useful ability when you play Blitzball, so if you
don't have it on your first try, load your previous save and try it until
you have it.
After that, there will be a short story scene between Yuna and Tidus, after
a while, Wakka tells you to go to sleep, so good night !
============================================================================
LUCA
Party : Tidus, Wakka, Lulu, Yuna, Auron, Kimahri
Enemies : Oblitzerator, Sahagin Chief, Vouivre, Worker
Items : Hi-Potion (X2), Phoenix Down (X2), Magic Sphere, HP Sphere,
600 Gil, 1000 Gil
Equipments : Tidal Spear
Key Items : Al Bhed Primer Vol. VI, VII
============================================================================
Once you dock in Luca, you will see a scene with a commentator presenting
the Blitzball teams that will participate in the tournament. Of course, the
Luca Goers are the favorite of the fans, but there are some hardcore fans
cheering for the Besaid Aurochs. Once you see Tidus talk to the Goers, Yuna
will want to go see Maester Mika at Dock No. 3. So head north to meet the
Grand Maester. Don't worry about the items yet, I'll explain how to get them
later. You will also meet Maester Seymour, a guy with some cute blue hairs
:). Anyway, you will soon be in the Auroch's locker room and you will have a
long tutorial to teach you how to Blitz. Go through it if you want or check
the Blitzball FAQ section if you want to know more. After the tutorial, Yuna
will come in and she will tell you that Auron is in Luca. It couldn't be THE
Auron. Well, Yuna wants Tidus to help her finding him so you have no choice.
Exit the Auroch's Locker Room. If you want to go through the Tutorial again,
just examine the board next to Wakka. Once you are ready, save and it's time
to go look for some items ! Upon leaving your locker room, you will meet
some players of the Al Bhed Psyches. Tidus will tell them to say hello to
Rikku if they meet her. Now continue down, into a large area with various
places to go. You can't go through the door to the center, so head up the
left stairs. There you can pick up a chest containing two Hi-Potions and an
Al Bhed Primer Vol. VI. Return to the previous area and go down the stairs.
This time head down the stairs to find another Save Sphere, take the right
path and in this area continue up and right to pick up and right to pick up
a HP Sphere and a Magic Sphere. Once you are done, continue up to be in an
area with a Save Sphere. There is nothing to pick up there. Continue up
again to be in another area and continue to be in the same area where you
first arrived to Luca. There, you can pick up a chest containing two Phoenix
Downs. Continue down, and you will be at Dock #1. There, you can speak to
O'Aka and you can buy some items from him if you want. There is also two
chests there, one chest contains 600 Gil and the other a Tidal Spear.
Continue down again and you will return to the main area, this time, go
down, to have a funny scene with Yuna. You will teach her how to whistle in
case she gets lost. Once it is done, head north. Outside the theater, you
can see a sphere monitor with a new option. Check the Fiend Info to learn
more about how to defeat strong enemies. It's really important to talk to
everybody there. Once you are done, follow the red arrow to the market
place. First, go up the stairs to the right and you will find a chest with
1000 Gil inside. You can also speak to Luzzu and Gatta there. They will tell
Tidus that they are preparing for a huge attack against Sin. Return to the
market and head in the Café.
In there, you will meet Biran and Yenke, some "friends" of Kimahri. By the
time you are distracted, Yuna will have some problems, since she will be
kidnapped by the Al Bheds ! Lulu will come to see Tidus, and she will tell
you that the Al Bhed Psyches must to win the game against the Auroch's, if
they lose they will kill Yuna, so follow the red arrow and head to Dock #4.
You will fight Mechanical enemies along the way. Use Lulu's Thunder spell to
get rid of them quickly. Once you arrive at Dock 4, you will fight a bunch
of Workers. Dispose of them and watch Wakka giving all he gots at the
Blitzball Tournament.
Your party will quickly leap on the Al Bhed's boat as it leaves the dock.
Get ready for boss fight there !
!!!!! BOSS : OBLITZERATOR : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 6000 AP : 36
Weakness : Lightning Steal : Nothing
It seems that this fight is a long and tough fight, but fear not because
there is an easy way to beat that boss up ! First of all, make Tidus cast
Haste on Lulu and make Kimahri attack Oblitzerator. Once you have done that,
you will have a trigger command with Tidus. Examine the Crane and have Lulu
caste Thunder on the Crane. Cast it three or four time until the crane is
activated. Use Tidus's Trigger Command and the Crane will literally destroy
Oblitzerator.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, Lulu does a sign for Wakka and he scores the goal to make
is team victorious against the Al Bhed Psyches ! Of course, Yuna will be
safe by that time and you will soon be in the Auroch's Locker Room. It's
important to save your game there, if you are planning to win the tournament
against the Luca Goers. Once you are ready, return in the Locker Room, check
the Blue Monitor if you aren't confident enough and speak to Wakka once you
are ready to play.
You will fight the Luca Goers in the tournament's final. The Goers are much
better than you're team, so if you are planning to win the game, use what
you have learned in the tutorial and make a good strategy. The Goers's have
almost twice HP's that your team. They are also much stronger and faster
than the Auroch's. Use Tidus and shoot like crazy with him. Use your Jecht
Shot if you got it. At halftime, your players should level up, so it will be
a little easier for the second half. Here's a strategy on how to win this
hard game.
===========================================
Strategy from NagisaKaworu, seifz@yahoo.com
===========================================
"FIRST BLITZBALL GAME: First off, do not change the positions of any of the
players. When the game starts, make sure control is on Manual A and your
defense is on Normal Mode. LEAVE IT THIS WAY!!! Use your players to pass
the ball around, and try as hard as possible to avoid contact with the
Goers. If you are stopped by them, break through as many as you think you
can and feel free to take some risks. Then, pass the ball. Give Tidus the
ball whenever you can and have him head straight for the goal. If you have
problems controling him, use the left analog stick and the map at the bottom
of the screen. Then, use your Sphere Shot. In the second half, use the
Jecht Shot if you have it instead. Remember, the Goers may be fast and have
high HPs, but they are not very good at shooting and your defense should be
great against them. This match isn't as hard as everyone says it is."
Either if you win or lose the game, the sphere pool will be invaded by
fiends ! Tidus and Wakka must fight them. They are pretty easy to beat, but
keep an eye on your HP.
When you have killed enough enemies, you will see a scene with Auron. You
need to kill a Vouivre with Auron and it's pretty easy. One blow and he is
out cold :) . Anyway, after Auron's fight, Tidus and Wakka joins him and you
will fight a Garuda, it's kind of a giant bird. Just do Dark Attack on him
and use Auron's Power Break if you want and he should be down in no time.
Once you kill the Garuda, your party will be attacked with even more
enemies ! But don't worry, Seymour summons the almighty Anima to take care
of them.
After the short CG, Auron will speak to Tidus. He will tell Tidus that he
wants to offer his guardian services to Yuna. He will also tell you that
Sin is Tidus's old man Jecht !
Now, follow Auron from the docks and you will soon be in the square where
you talked to Luzzu and Gatta. Auron will join your party for good and
Tidus will officially become a guardian. Talk to everybody and when you
speak to Yuna, you will see a short scene where she tells you to smile when
you are feeling sad. Tidus will also laugh a lot because it will cheer him
up. Just turn down your TV's Volume there ^_^. When everything is settled,
go back to the theater lobby to find the Al Bhed Primer Vol. VII on the
floor. Explore again if you like then leave Luca to Mi'Ihen Road.
============================================================================

============================================================================
Whew, that's a lot of Items to cover huh !? I could have missed some of them
in this section, just tell me if I did. Note that it covers the Mushroom
Rock too. Anyway, I'll do my best, just print the items list and check the
items when you get them.
Mi'Ihen Road
-------------
First of all, there are a lot of items you can have by talking to the
people, that you can acquire 600 Gil, a Red Ring, two Antidotes, a Lv.1 Key
Sphere and a Hunter's Spear, as well as some Hi-Potions.
Start by saving your game and you can continue up. When you can go to the
left, go there to pick up a chest containing an Ice Brand. You can also
speak to an historian named Maechen who will talk to you about the road you
are on and Lord Mi'hihem. Continue up to the next screen now.
You will now have a scene with the Chocobo Knights, so speak to them if you
like. Now, continue up and turn right to meet Belgemine, she is a summoner
too and she challenges Yuna to a fight.
She is a pretty tough boss for the first time, since she uses Ifrit as her
summon. That means you will have too beat her with Valefor! I hope your
Overdrive gauge is fully charged. If you have it, unleash Energy Ray at the
beginning of the fight. Ifrit perform a regular attack and it performs
Meteor Strike after that. Use Valefor's Shield command before he uses his
Meteor Strike and use your magic Blizzard when you can. If you win the
fight, you will receive an Echo Ring and if you lose you will receive a
Seeker's Ring.
After the fight, you will encounter hard random fights. First, you will
fight some Dual Horns, they are pretty hard to beat since they deal such a
great amount of damage on a character. Use Dark Attack to blind him. There
is also flying monsters, use Wakka to kill them too. Now, don't forget to
use fire on the White Elements and use the fact that Auron as the Piercing
Ability equipped to his weapon. If you have the time, spend some time there
to boost your characters statistics. You will also fight some Bombs, a good
strategy, if you have trouble against them, is to summon Ifrit. Most of
their attacks will only heal Ifrit. But remember that you must defeat the
Bombs within three hits or they will destroy themselves on you.
Once you are ready, continue up to the next area. Go left when you can to
pick up a Remedy. Continue up to meet a little boy, speak to him to win
three Softs. Then examine the Blitz ball next to him. Continue up again and
turn right when you can to pick up a chest containing 2000 Gil. Go up again
and when you see a scene with the Crusaders, talk to the man nearby for an
Ether. Continue on your way to speak with Shelinda, then go up again to pick
up a chest containing three Eye Drops.
Now continue up and you will be at a Inn. Inside the inn, you can pick up a
Lv.1 Key Sphere. You can also speak to Rin there and he will give you the Al
Bhed Primer vol. VIII. When you are ready, head outside the inn and you will
speak to Yuna. Now, you will go to sleep and once the night is over, speak
again to Rin and he will give you two Mega-Potions. Save your game and spend
your S.Lvl if you got any equip any new weapons and head outside the Inn for
a big fight !
!!!!! BOSS : CHOCOBO EATER : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 10000 AP : 95
Weakness : Fire Steal : Nothing
First of all, have Lulu, Tidus and Wakka for this fight. Beware, the boss
can push you toward a cliff and if you fall in that cliff it's over for you
and you get no AP at all. Anyway, use Haste on Lulu, she will be able to
cast Fire Spells. Use Wakka's Dark Attack again to blind him. Switch Tidus
for Auron and use Auron's Power Break on him. When the boss gets knocked
down, Lulu will tell you that it's time to push him back. You can push him
back by dealing at least 400 HP of damage. If you succeed in pushing the
boss off the cliff, you will win two Lv.1 Key Sphere. I won't do the FAQ in
the case you have lost, so I hope you will be able to win this tough fight.
===================================================
Strategy from Josh Carriveau, dragoon2176@yahoo.com
===================================================
Use Tidus, Kimahri, and Auron for this battle. Make sure to have Tidus
equipped with Stunning Edge (I think) it's got the ability Slowtouch on it.
You buy the sword from O'Aka while the tournament is going on there. Sword
costs 5050 Gil so it's not too expensive. Reason why Auron and Kimahri are
used is because they have piercing weapons. The Chocobo Eater has hard shell
so only Piercing is able to give out max damage. After Tidus has
successfully slowed the enemy just have him Cheer to up your DEF and ATK.
Just keep hitting the Chocobo Eater with normal attacks and he should go
down pretty fast.
===========================================
Strategy from NagisaKaworu, seifz@yahoo.com
===========================================
Equip your characters with weapons that have Firstrike, if you have them.
Also, make sure Kimahri and Auron have Piercing Weapons. Start with Tidus,
Lulu, and Auron. If you have Haste, cast it on Lulu and have her use Fire
Spells ( or Fira if you have been fighting a lot! ). Have Auron attack the
monster with physical attacks, since he can do normal damage to the
creature. Cycle characters in for Tidus to give everyone a turn. If you
knock the monster over, use an Overdrive attack or Summon Ifrit and use fire
attacks ( Hellfire works great! ). You should have no problem killing him in
this way. Also, note that knocking him off a cliff is actually harder than
just killing him, and isn't always worth the effort.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, speak to Rin and he will offer you a free ride on a
Chocobo. The Chocobo will give you the opportunity to find items that are
only accessible with a Chocobo. On a Chocobo, you can still speak to people
and open a chest by pressing the X Button, but you won't encounter any
random fights.
On your Chocobo, continue along the way until you meet a Chocobo Feather on
the ground. Check it by pressing the X Button and pick up the Heat Lance
after that. Continue along the way and keep your eye open to pick up an Al
Bhed Primer vol. IX on the ground. Now keep going along the road until you
are on the next screen. There, you can pick up two Hi-Potions in a chest.
Now, you have a choice, you can either go on with the story or you can pick
new items !
If you want to pick up new items, continue reading here. When you have
picked up the chest with two Hi-Potions inside, go to the right, then go
down. Continue on this path and keep your eyes open for a Chocobo Feather on
the ground. Then, press the X Button in front of it and you will be able to
pick up two chests, one with a Thunder Blade and another with a Scout.
Continue down and speak to Lucil of the Chocobo Knights when you meet her.
Keep your eyes open again for another Chocobo Feather and press the X Button
in front of it to pick up a Fortune Sphere in a chest. Continue south to
meet O'Aka and a Save Sphere. Speak to him if you want and continue down to
pick up a Mars Crest. Now, go all the way back to continue the story.
Speak to everybody there and talk to the soldier on the right and he will
tell you more about the Crusaders plan. He will tell Tidus that they plan on
using Machina to defeat Sin. Isn't it prohibited by Yevon to use machina ?!
Anyway, you can speak to a guard on the left if you want. He will ask you
donations for the Operation Mi'ihen. Give him some if you like. 100 Gil will
give you a Scout, 1000 Gil an Ice Lance and 10000 Gil a Moon Ring. Now go
south and Maester Seymour will come. He will ask the guard to let you pass
and he will. Prepare yourself and save your game. Once you are ready, follow
Seymour in the Mushroom Rock !
Mushroom Rock
-------------
After the scene with Seymour, you are ready to explore the Mushroom Rock.
First, I must tell you that you will need to speak to every Crusaders that
are walking around. They will give you some useful items like the Tough
Bangle, 400 Gil, X-Potion, Remedy, Phoenix Downs, and a Hi-Potion. First of
all, save your game at the save point. Follow the path and keep your eyes
open for a platform with a strange symbol on it. Step on it and press the X
Button to make the platform lift up. You will see a chest and a guard
standing next to it. Open the chest for 1000 Gil and talk to the guard for
ten Potions.
Now, go back down, continue on the path and look for a chest on the left of
the map for a Remedy. Talk to Shelinda if you like, she will heal you. Now,
continue up the path and you will find a Hi-Potion hidden behind a rock.
Now, continue up to the next screen.
Continue on the path and when you can turn left, go left and you will find
another platform. Go down to find a chest with a Serene Armlet. Return to
the path and look for a narrow path leading out to a small ledge, this is
where you can pick up the Al Bhed Primer vol. X. Continue on to find the
last platform. Go up and talk to the guard for a Mega-Potion. Go past the
save point to see a scene with Luzzu and Gatta. Luzzu will tell Gatta that
he cannot join the fight against Sin, that he needs to stay here. Go see
Luzzu again and you will learn that it's Luzzu who convinced Chappu to join
the Crusaders, so it's because of him that Chappu died ! After the
scene, save and go up to find the Command Center.
Command Center
--------------
Up there, go right to find a huge field of cannons and Sinspawn cages. Go
right to the next area and speak to the Chocobo Knight there. He will tell
you more about this operation. You can also speak to O'Aka, he is on the
left side of the blue tent entrance. Once you are ready, go in the tent to
meet Luzzu's partner, Gatta. This is a key point in the game, since it will
determine the fate of both men. If you want Gatta to live, pick the first
option. If you want Gatta to die and Luzzu to die, pick the second option
and talk to him again. Pick the second option there too. There isn't much
use to which man lives, but if you find one, feel free to let me know. Now
head inside the tent to meet one old good friend of Auron, Maester Kinoc. It
seems that Maester Kinoc knows that the attack will be in vain against
Sin... so why does he order it ? Anyway, once you are done, go talk to Lulu
and pick the chest near her for a Mega-Potion. Go meet Yuna and take the
chest near her for a Serene Bracer. Prepare yourself to fight, equip any
good equipments and don't equip any elements to your weapons ! Once you are
ready, save your game at the save point and go talk to the guard at the red
arrow on your map. Tell him you are ready and here's what is coming up for
you...
It seems that their plan is not going like they hoped and one Sinspawn is on
the lose ! Of course, it's your job to defeat it, so get ready !
!!!!! BOSS : SINSPAWN GUI : BOSS !!!!!
HP : Head : 4000, Arms 800, Body : 12000 AP : 0 (next battle)
Weakness : None Steal : Nothing
This can be a tough battle if you rushed through the game and did not take
the time to boost your characters a little. Anyway, start by using Auron,
Yuna and Tidus. Cast Haste on everybody, except Tidus so you can have a good
amount of turns before the boss plays. Once everyone except Tidus are
hasted, switch Tidus to Wakka and concentrate on the head. Use Auron to
break his arms.
Now, about the boss... Once this boss starts moving his head, it means that
there is a strong attack coming up. This attack is called Venom Attack and
as you can tell by the name, it will poison your characters. Use Yuna's
Esuna to cure that. Once both arms are destroyed, use Auron to attack the
body. Now, when the head is destroyed, switch Wakka or your most powerful
hitter. In my case, Wakka was the best hitter so I kept him on the field.
Attack the body in full force, when the boss is low on HP and your
characters have a good amount of HP's, switch Yuna to Lulu so she can
benefit of the AP's. Unleash all you got to finish him off.
Once you have beated the first Sinspawn, Sin will attack and kill a lot of
people ! You will then learn that Sinspawn Gui is not dead and you will need
to fight him again, this time with Seymour in your party.
===========================================
Strategy from NagisaKaworu, seifz@yahoo.com
===========================================
Make sure that Lulu knows Fira by this point. Start off with Auron, Tidus,
and Lulu. Have Tidus caste Haste on Lulu and have Lulu cast Fira on each
arm to destroy them quickly. Then have Auron attack the body and bring in
Wakka to attack the head. If the arms regenerate, repeat this process
again. Make sure you bring Yuna in to heal. Note that it is possible to
stop the Venom attack if you do enough damage to the head before the fiend
executes the move. For second tound, have Seymour use Fira instead of Lulu
and continue to have Auron attack the Sinspawn. Also, try to see Seymour's
Overdrive, even though it is pretty damn lame.
!!!!! BOSS : SINSPAWN GUI : BOSS !!!!!
HP : Head : 1000, Arms 800, Body : 6000 AP : 1500
Weakness : None Steal : Nothing
This time, your party is locked so you can't change any members in the
fight, you got Seymour, Auron and Yuna for this fight. First of all, cast
Fira with Seymour to destroy his head. Use Auron to attack one arm and
Seymour, the other. You may also want to witness Seymour's Overdrive. It is
the only occasion you got to see it :). Anyway, once both arms are gone,
attack the body in full force and the fight will be over in no time.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
Once the Sinspawn is dead, you will be on the beach. Try to find Luzzu or
Gatta on the beach to continue on with the story. Tidus will start to swim
after Sin and you will learn that it was a Maester plan to cause this
attack, because those who believed in Yevon lived and those who didn't
believe died... pretty sad huh. Of course, Yuna dances again to perform the
Sending. Once you have the control of Tidus, collect a Hi-Potion, go all the
way left from the save sphere and speak to everybody to go to Djose Path.
============================================================================
DJOSE ROAD & TEMPLE
Party : Tidus, Wakka, Lulu, Yuna, Auron, Kimahri

Mega-Potion, Mega Phoenix, Magic Sphere, Ability Sphere,
4000 Gil.
Equipments : Variable Steel, Switch Hitter, Halberd, Soft Ring,
Bright Bangle.
Key Items : Al Bhed Primer Vol. XI
============================================================================
A little less Items to cover there huh !? Anyway, speak to the people there
and they should give you some items. A guard will give you a Variable Steel
and a priest some Hi-Potions. Also, beware, in this area, there are
Basilisks and I hope you have some Softs, because those monster can turn you
into Stone! Also, Kimahri can learn Stone Breath from those monsters. Also,
use Wakka to defeat the Bite Bugs and Ganderewa and one last thing, beware
of the Funguar's Sleep Powder. He uses it when you attack him.
Now continue up on the bridge area and keep your eyes to the left of the
screen for a chest containing two Phoenix Downs. Continue up and go around a
spiky rock to find the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XI. Now, continue on your way up
and keep your eyes to the left for a chest containing a Bright Bangle. The
chest isn't too far up from the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XI. Now, there isn't any
more chests there so keep going up until you reach a fork. You cannot go to
the Moonflow just yet, so head up to Djose Temple. You will be on a bridge
area, cross it and head to the left to meet with Chocobo Knights. There is a
chest not too far form them with 4000 Gil inside. Now, head up and you will
see a scene in front of the temple. You will learn that since the entrance
is open, there are already Summoners in there. Anyway, go behind the inn to
meet Luzzu/Gatta. In my case, Gatta lived and he told me that Luzzu died and
that he is returning to Besaid. Once the scene is over, continue on the same
path to find a chest with two Ability Spheres. You can go in the inn if you
want, but there's isn't anything to do there since you can't pick up the
chest behind the innkeeper yet. Anyway, save your game and head into Djose
Temple.
Inside, you will meet Isaaru and his fellow guardians. ( I wonder how the
small one can be a guardian... ). Anyway, Yuna and summoner Isaaru will wish
them both of luck in order to defeat Sin. Once you are done, head to the
room on the left. Don't go inside just yet! There is a chest just outside
the room with an Ether. Now, head inside the room to find a chest with a
Remedy. Once you are ready, go up the stairs and head into the third
Cloister of Trials.
DJOSE TEMPLE, CLOISTER OF TRIALS
--------------------------------
The first area isn't too hard, just take both spheres from the left and
right side of the room and put them into the double doors. The doors will
now open and head into the next chamber. See that Yevon symbol on the
ground?! Your goal is to activate it, anyway, take the sphere on the left
side of the door there and head to the area on the right. There is a glyph
there on the wall, just put the Djose Sphere inside of one of the slots.
Now, return to the double doors at the beginning of the Cloister of Trials.
Take either one of the sphere and put it into the other slot. Now, return to
the pedestal and push it to the right until you can't anymore. You will have
created a super Djose Sphere used to open the door there. So take the super
Djose Sphere and return to the Yevon symbol and insert the sphere into the
slot to the north to open the door. Now return to where you have inserted
the two Spheres in the slots on the wall. Take the two spheres and put it
inside the pedestal. Now, go all the way west and step on the flashy switch
on the ground to move the pedestal to the center. Okay, once it is done,
push the pedestal to the north in the room with lightning. Push it until the
pedestal falls down, but don't worry, the pedestal will float, allowing
Tidus to cross the bridge of lightning. After you have crossed the bridge
there, push the pedestal at the far end to active the eye of the Yevon's
symbol. Now, cross the bridge again and return to the flashy switch to make
the pedestal come back at the center of the Yevon symbol. Now, take one
sphere and return to the first chamber you have been. Insert the sphere to
the left side of the room. Take the other sphere that is inserted in the
door and insert it in the right side of the room. Now, return to the super
Djose Sphere, take it from the door and insert it in the slot left to the
door. The symbol will be complete, so step on it to go up into the last
area.
There, go up to find five pedestal with Djose spheres. Press the X Button in
front of each pedestal to push it into the wall. Once it's completed, you
will reveal a stairway, but don't go up yet. Instead, search for a glowing
spot on the left wall of the basement floor and examine it to reveal a
glyph. Touch it to open the wall and you will find a Destruction Sphere
there. Pick it, return to the first floor and insert it into the central
pedestal to destroy a part of the right wall. Pick up the treasure chest
with a Magic Sphere inside and go up the stairs to complete the third
Cloister of Trials.
In the chamber, speak to everybody and Dona will come. Speak to everybody
again and attempt to exit the room to make Yuna come out of the Chamber of
the Fayth. Now, you will have a new Aeon called Ixion! Ixion is pretty
strong, he his an Unicorn with Lightning powers.
Once you wake up in the morning, pick up the chest at the top right corner
for a Switch Hitter. Head out the inn and speak to everybody. Yuna seems to
be sleeping again... Well head inside the temple and go in the room to the
left where you picked up a Remedy. Yuna is there, on the bed. Speak to Yuna,
then speak to the person near her to wake Yuna up.
Now, exit the temple and Yuna will tell you that she is sorry to have kept
kept you waiting. Anyway, once you are ready, head back to the bridge and
speak to the former Crusader on the left side of the bridge, he will give
you a Halberd. Next, speak to the priest to win two Hi-Potions. Finally,
speak to the lonely man on the next part of the bridge numerous times until
he finally gives you ten Potions.
Now, you will have a scene with the Chocobo Knights, once you have talked to
them, head south to Djose Road. This time, you will go northwest at the fork
to the Moonflow.

She will challenge you again, first I hope you have your Overdrives, if you
don't you are in trouble... Anyway, start out with Ifrit. First, attack
Ixion. Since Ixion is pretty fast, you won't have two attacks in a row. When
your HP is too low, have Ifrit cast fire on himself so it will heal its HP.
When you have your overdrive, unleash HellFire on Ixion and he should go
down and you can also use Valefor just in case :).
If you win, you will receive two Dragon Scales. Win or lose, she will give
you the Summoner's Soul used to teach abilities to your Aeons. Just take a
look it the Aeons section of this FAQ to learn every abilities possible to
be teached.
Now continue up and just before the red arrow, head left to find a secret
chest with a Magic Defense Sphere inside, return to the path and continue
north after that. Once you are at the shore, move west to the shoopuf wharf.
Your party will split up from there. Don't buy anything from the people
there. As you can see in the shops list, their price are very high ! The
only one you can trust here is O'Aka. Try to find Yuna and Lulu, jest next
to Yuna, you can open a chest for two Phoenix Downs and behind Lulu is a
treasure chest with 5000 Gil. Anyway, speak to everybody... If you speak to
Auron, he will tell you about Jecht and when he attacked a shoopuf when he
was drunk... very funny :). Anyway, talk to the shoopuf driver once you are
ready to leave. You will aboard the elephant like thing and head to the
Moonflow north wharf. Anyway, on the way, Yuna will be kidnapped yet again
by the Al Bhed. So it's because of the Al Bhed that summoners are
disappearing... As always, Wakka and Tidus will go underwater to save Yuna,
but they are expected by a strong foe...
!!!!! BOSS : EXTRACTOR : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 4000 AP : 660
Weakness : Lightning Steal : Nothing
Well, this is one easy fight... first, have Tidus cast Haste on the party,
this way, you can have a LOT of turns before the boss makes a move. Just
beware of his Depth Charges. When he do that, heal yourself with a
Hi-Potion. Keep using that strategy and he will be out in no time.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
Once he his out, Yuna will be saved and you will safely continue your trip
until you reach the North Wharf. There, use the save sphere to save your
game and talk to O'Aka if you want. You can also find the Al Bhed Primer
Vol. XII on the platform above O'Aka. Next, talk to everybody and head west.
You will be alone, but don't worry, this is part of the story. Speak to the
Guado there and he will give you an Ether. Continue left and you will
finally meet Rikku again.
You will learn that she was in the machina you just fought! Also, she will
join permanently your party as one of Yuna's guardian. Once the little story
scene is over, head up to fight in another of those battle tutorials. You
will learn that Rikku can steal treasure chests from battle and you will
also learn how to use her Overdrive, Mix. Anyway, after the tutorial,
continue up the path. Keep your eyes open for a treasure chest on the right
for four Antidotes. Next, continue up and just before the red arrow, open a
chest on the left for a Mega-Potion. Next, continue up and head into
Guadosalam.
============================================================================
GUADOSALAM
Party : Tidus, Wakka, Lulu, Yuna, Auron, Rikku, Kimahri
Enemies : None
Items : Hi-Potion (X2), Mega-Potion, Elixir, Lightning Marble (X8),
3000 Gil.
Equipments : None
Key Items : Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIII
============================================================================
When you arrive in Guadosalam, you will have a scene with Tromell. He tells
you that Maester Seymour wants to see Yuna. After that, Rikku will teach you
how to Customize Weapons. It's a pretty great ability, so listen carefully.
You can have more information about that in my FAQ, look in the Basics of
the Game. First of all, head into the Inn and check out the Sphere Monitor
to learn more about fiends roaming around in this area. Now, you can explore
the city as you wish. Also, check all the houses, in the same house where
you can find 3000 Gil in an hidden treasure chest at the back of the room is
the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIII lying in on the floor on the northwest side of
the house. Next, head to where the Farplane his, you know where it is right?
Just when you see two Guados, move beyond them to find an Elixir in a chest,
just to tell you, it's near the item shop. Speaking of the item shop, O'Aka
will be there, you can talk to him if you want. Next, head to Seymour's
House located in the north part of the city. The house have a huge red door.
To the right of that door is a treasure chest with a Mega-Potion inside. You
are now ready to go in the house.
Once you are inside, don't speak to anybody yet, go up the stairs and check
for a chest on the balcony for two Hi-Potions. Next, talk to everybody
except Yuna, then speak to Yuna. Once you have talked to her, head into the
door near Yuna. You will finally meet Seymour there, he will offer you food
and you will have control of Tidus again. Speak to everyone again to
continue the story. Seymour will then tell you about Zanarkand and Lady
Yunalesca who defeated Sin. Then Seymour will ask Yuna in marriage!
Unbelievable! Anyway, she must think about it, because well, she will marry
Seymour for Spira and it's people, not because she loves him. Anyway, she
would like to go to the Farplane, so head up the highest ramp and in the
entrance to find a new screen.
There, move to the left and look for a very good hidden chest with eight
Lightning Marbles inside. Go up the corridor after that and your party will
tell you more about the Farplane. Once you have control of Tidus, speak to
Auron and Rikku, both of them don't want to go in the Farplane. Anyway, once
you are ready, go up the stairs and head in the Farplane. This place is
HUGE. Hopefully, you won't have to explore all of that. First, go speak to
Lulu, then to Wakka. You will meet his brother Chappu and Wakka will tell
his brother that he gave Chappu's sword to you, now your weapon will have
new abilities. Check them out if you want. You will have Strength +10,
WaterStrike and Sensor. Remember that this sword is called the Brotherhood.
Now, go meet Yuna to learn her answer. She will be with her mom and her dad,
High Summoner Braska. She will tell you to think about Jecht and as Tidus
think about him, he don't show up... A moment later, he will think about his
mom and she will show up. After the scene, return to Seymour's House. Yuna
doesn't want to marry Seymour because she wants to continue her Pilgrimage.
Now, speak to Lulu and she will tell you what she thinks about Yuna marrying
Seymour and she will ask you if you love Yuna :). Ask whatever you want
there. Now, speak to everyone else, two times each person. You will notice
that Rikku is not there, so go near the entrance of Guadosalam to meet
Rikku. Speak to her, then return down and speak to Lulu again. Next, head
towards the exit to the Thunder Plains and you will meet Shelinda there. It
seems that Seymour has left the place. Return to your party to tell them,
then save and prepare yourself for the Thunder Plains.
============================================================================

Equipments : Water Ball, Yellow Shield
Key Items : Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIV
============================================================================
Once you start out, go to the left and pick up a chest with two Phoenix
Downs inside of it. Next, I need to tell you something. You will find some
glowing Qactuar stones scattered around the Thunder Plains, you can examine
them with the X Button, but you can activate them with the Square Button.
There isn't much things to do with that now, but remember those stones when
you are near the end of the game. You can also fight Qactuars in this area,
they aren't pretty strong, but they are very hard to hit and they will
escape from the fight, but if you manage to kill them, your reward will be
525 AP. Also, there are lightning falling from the sky, press the X Button
when the screen flashes to dodge them.
Anyway, continue up to the Save Sphere and save if you like. Once you are
ready, go to the left to find a chest with two Hi-Potions. Continue left to
find another chest with 5000 Gil inside. Next, turn right until you reach
the wall, continue up the path until you find an alcove. Go there to find a
chest with a Water Ball inside. Continue up to the next area and your party
will take a well deserved break at the Travel Agency.
Inside the Inn, speak to Rikku first, then go talk to Rin. When you can
choose an option, take the first one and he will give you the Al Bhed Primer
Vol. XIV. Next, talk to everybody and go up where Yuna went. You will
"accidentally" go inside her room. She will be a little shy so she will run
away. As you attempt to look at the Sphere, Wakka will bust in and tell you
to leave Yuna's Room at once. Next, talk to everybody again, save and get
ready to continue the Thunder Plains. At the exit of Rin's Agency, look on
the ground to find a Yellow Shield, now continue up until you are at a new
screen and area. Go up a little, then turn right and go south to find a
hidden chest with a X-Potion inside. Now, continue north until you reach the
Save Sphere, there, you will hear Yuna out and she will tell you that she
will marry Seymour! Next, go to the left and up to find a chest with an
Ether. Go to the right of the screen and up a little to find another chest
with 2000 Gil. Finally, go left and up to find one last chest with a Remedy
inside. Now continue up and head into Macalania Woods.

that road to go to Macalania Temple. Since you have no much choice, head up
the path. Turn left, and when you have no choice but to go up again, look
behind the tree to find a chest with a Sleepy Cait Sith inside. Now continue
up on this path to find another chest with 2000 Gil inside. Continue up to
the next screen. There, follow the linear path to find a chest with a Remedy
inside. Continue up the spiral path and you will soon meet a bird/man being.
He will tell you more about the Butterfly Mini-Game. Check in the Sidequest
section to learn more about this Mini-Game, also, if you complete it this
time through, you will win a treasure chest. Next follow the path to the
next screen, keep your eyes opened for treasure chests there. Anyway, once
you are in an area with O'Aka, look across him on the ground to find the Al
Bhed Primer Vol. XV. Next, save your game and be prepared for the boss
ahead.
!!!!! BOSS : SPHERIMORPH : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 12 000 AP : 3240
Weakness : Varies Steal : Ether
This boss seems hard at first, but he is pretty easy when you know how to
defeat him. First, start out with Tidus, Lulu and Auron. Have Tidus cast
Haste on Lulu and switch him to Yuna. Have Auron deal a physical attack on
the boss and he will counterattack with an element. If he use Water for
example, cast Thundara on him and you will deal MAJOR damage on him. Each
time you attack him with his weakness, his element will change. Have Auron
perform another physical attack and he will reveal his new element again.
Have Lulu attack with is weakness again and repeat the process to put an end
to this boss.
Here are some tips from NagisaKaworu, seifz@yahoo.com :
"If you are having problems with this fight, using Yuna's Nul spells will
help you out a lot. Also, using Rikku's Mix to caste a nul-all Overdrive or
a powerful opposite element attack will be great."
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, you will find an Old Sphere lying on the ground. Look
inside to find out it's a memento from Tidus's old man, Jecht. Anyway, after
the scene, Auron will tell you that Jecht loved Tidus and he just wasn't
able to tell him. Once you are ready, head to the red arrow to find the inn.
Outside, you will meet Clasko with is Chocobo. He will ask you if he is
better as a Chocobo Breeder or as a Chocobo Knight. Tell him what you like,
but if you tell him to be a Chocobo Breeder, return to SS Liki at the end of
the game and he will give you a very useful Friend Sphere, anyway, notice
the treasure chest behind him, you can't take it now, but it contains 4000
Gil. Just remember to pick it up later. Outside the inn, you will also find
an Al Bhed Primer Vol. XVI. Next, head inside the inn. You can also find out
more about fiends roaming in this area at the tutorial at the top right
corner of the map. After that, talk to everyone, save and exit the inn. You
will see Trummel again there, he will take Yuna to Macalania Temple. Just
when they she seems to be safe, the Al Bheds will attack her again!
!!!!! BOSS : CRAWLER & NEGATOR : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 16 000, 1000 AP : 4400, 220
Weakness : Lightning Steal : Lunar Curtain, Hi-Potion
First of all, the boss will start out by summoning a Negator that nullifies
every magics. So use Wakka to take care of the Negator and use Auron and
Tidus to fight the Crawler. Just beware of the Crawler's attacks. Once the
Negator is destroyed, you will be able to use Magic and Summons. Bring Lulu
and cast Haste on her then, let her unleash Thundara Spells. When you see
the countdown to Mana Beam get down to one, switch to Yuna and summon Ixion.
Use is shield ability and it will most likely do nothing to him. Now, use
your thunder spells until the Negator comes back again. Even though Negator
is there, your Aeon will stay on the field so attack the boss in full force
until you have your Overdrive. Use it and say bye bye to Crawler.
================================
Strategy from MinniMe140@aol.com
================================
"I have an easier way to kill Crawler. DO NOT even look at the Negator
because you're going to only fight Crawler. Attack Crawler until his HP is
like 4000, then kill the Negator. I suggest you use Auron and Kimahri. Bring
out Ixion and use Thor's Hammer (his Overdrive). If he is still alive then
bring out Valefor and use his overdrive. Be sure to bring your Aeons and
people at Overdrive before you fight Crawler."
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
Once he is defeated, you will use a great way to transport yourself to the
Macalania Temple. On the way, Tidus will speak to Lulu about Wakka's head
been as hard as rock... Well, once you arrive at the temple, open the
treasure chest to the right for a Mega-Potion. Once you are ready, enter the
temple. Speak to the Al Bhed near the entrance and he will give you 400 Gil
if you accept to leave him alone. Next, cross the very long bridge and head
inside the Temple. Once you are in, speak to Tromell and he will reward you
with a Shell Targe. Next, go up the stairs to find out that somebody has
founded Yuna's Sphere. Go in the small chamber to the right and witness the
events there. The next paragraph will contain a lot of story spoilers, so
you are advised.
Please take note that on your way to Macalania Temple, you may travel with
Rikku. I don't know what triggers this yet, but some people sent me this
information. One of them says that it might be what you tell at Lulu back at
Guadosalam. Any contributions on that are appreciated!
You will find out that Seymour killed his own father, that the fire of
darkness burns in his heart. Anyway, the father of Seymour will ask you to
stop his son, so that's what you are going to do !
But, first, pick the items in the temple, check the back of the room you are
in for two Remedies. Speak to everybody in this room for two Hi-Potions.
Return to the hall and pick two treasure chests there, one with two
X-Potions and another one with 5000 Gil. Next, go to the left room and talk
to everybody for an Elixir and an Ether. You can also pick a chest there for
three Phoenix Downs. Lastly, you can speak to the old man near the statue to
learn more about the young days of Seymour.
Once you are ready, save your game and equip the best equipments to your
party since the upcoming fight is really hard. Once you feel confident
enough, go up the stairs to fight Seymour and his crew.
!!!!! BOSS : SEYMOUR, ANIMA, GUADO GUARDIANS !!!!!
HP : 6000, 18 000, 2000 AP : 6280
Weakness : None Steal : Turbo Ether, Silence Grenade, Hi-Potion
To begin the fight, I'll explain you what is the role of each characters.
Each time you hit the Guado Guardians, they will heal themselves with a
Hi-Potion. A good way to get rid of that is by having Rikku to steal their
Hi-Potions so they won't be able to heal themselves. Once you have done
that, get rid of them quickly and as they dies, they will cast Protect AND
Shell on Seymour making the first fight a little harder. Once both Guado
Guards are out, have Tidus, Yuna and Wakka use their Trigger Commands so you
will boost Tidus's Strength and raise Yuna's and Wakka's Defense. Next,
don't kill Seymour yet. Use Yuna and cast NulFrost, NulShock, NulTide and
NulBlaze on the party. Finally, all you need to do is to hurt Seymour until
he has less than 3000 HP. He will summon Anima at that point.
Since Anima is pretty hard and is Pain can kill your characters with one
blow, I suggest you use your newest Aeon, Shiva. When your HP is low, cast
Blizzara to Shiva and you will heal her. When Anima has his Overdrive, use
the Shield Command and you will be fine. Once you have your Overdrive,
unleash it and you should do 8000 HP of damage, thus taking out Anima.
================================================
Strategy by AcidTwister, acidtwister@hotmail.com
================================================
This is a Strategy for Anima :
"In the first fight with Seymour after you get rid of his guards and he
calls Anima, do NOT summon an Aeon. Instead, get your strongest characters
out and knock the hell out of it, when Anima does pain and one of your
character dies, use a Phoenix Down and continue attacking. For some reason,
my attack damage went from around 600 attacking Seymour up to 1000+ when I
attacked Anima. The only time I suggest you summon an Aeon is if Anima's
overdrive gauge somehow hits max before you kill him. That way the Aeon
takes the fall(there's a save point right after the fight) and you can
continue to kick Anima's butt. After anima is defeated, bring out Yuna, use
all your nul spells to get around Seymour's magics, while using your top two
strongest characters to take him out. He'll be down in no time."
================================================
The last fight will be against Seymour again, quickly dismiss Shiva if you
have used my strategy, since you SHOULD have casted all the Nul-Spells
before the fight, you will be more than fine. Remember that you cannot use
any Aeons in this last fight because Seymour will kill them with one blow.
Use all of your attacks to get rid of Seymour and when he use a magic, be
sure to re-cast your magic barrier. Anyway, I hope you defeat him with those
strategies :).
============================================
Strategy by Sigma X, sepheroth32@hotmail.com
============================================
Start off with Rikku, Tidus and Yuna in your party. The first thing you
should do is to have Rikku steal from the 2 Guado gaurdians to disable their
self-healing ability. Then have Tidus Haste himself and have Yuna cure
whatever Seymour does to you. Then after Tidus is Hasted and the Hi-Potions
are stolen switch Rikku with Auron and keep Yuna. Then have Auron attack,
then Haste Auron. Leave Yuna unhatsed for now. Then have Tidus and Auron
continuously chip away at him for about 2000-3000 each (if you talked to
Seymour, Tidus' strenght should have increased by A LOT and same with Yuna's
Magic Defense). Then when you chip away 6000 HP from him he will Summon the
fierce Anima. Don't be scraed by his count of 18,000 HP he is not too hard.
The key to this battle is curing the dead members and keeping an eye on his
Overdrive gauge. The first thing to do is to have Yuna summon the ???? that
is now at the bottom of her summon list (Shiva). The reason for this being
that Anima is weak against Blizzard magic plus its Pain attack that normally
KOs a party member only does about 500 to your Aeons. Have Shiva fight to
the death ( you can use Blizzara on yourself to heal HP. ) Each turn Anima
will boost his overdrive gauge as well as cast Pain which will KO a party
member. At this point switch Auron with Yuna and use life. HP does not
matter against Anima. Continue this method until his Overdrive gauge is 1
turn from full. Bring yuna out and have her summon your weakest Aeon (most
likely Valefor) and have it take the damage. Then just chop away at it with
Auron and Tidus and have Lulu cast blizzara/ga (if you have them). Then when
Anima is gone Seymour will come out again and he's a lot harder this time.
Immediately summon the Aeon of the element of the spell he will cast next.
Then fight your Overdrive, use the Overdrive and it will kill Seymour.
===========================================
Strategy from NagisaKaworu, seifz@yahoo.com
===========================================
First, have Rikku steal the High Potions from both guardians, then kill
them. Have Yuna cast Nul spells on the party and have Tidus caste Haste on
Auron. Have Auron and Wakka kick the hell out of Seymour, and make sure
Kimahri does something. Also, bring in Lulu to cast magics against Seymour
and haste her if you like. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SUMMON ANY AEONS !!!
ESPECIALLY THE ??? ONE!!! Once Seymour is almost dead, he will summon
Anima, an Aeon. Once Yuna gets her turn, summon the ??? Aeon. Let Anima
attack you with Pain and cure Shiva with Blizzara spells. Once she reaches
Overdrive, unleash Diamond Dust on Anima. Then, repeat this process. Two
Overdrives will definitely kill Anima, since each one will do 9999 damage.
Once Anima is gone, just beat the hell out of Seymour in any way you want
and use Yuna's Nul spells to block against his magic. If any of your Aeons
are in Overdrive mode (or Yuna), summon them and use it. Seymour will then
kill them, if he is still alive. If he does live, he will be pretty easy to
kill now.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
You killed Seymour, that's right you killed a Maester! Anyway, as you
attempt to leave, the Cloister of Trials will be reseted so you need to do
it.
First off all, head down the little ramp and take the Glyph Sphere from the
central pillar, next, insert the Glyph Sphere in the pedestal and push it to
the right so it will make the little iceberg blow away. Next, push the
pedestal to the north and the pedestal will go down another ramp. Follow the
pedestal down and remove the Glyph Sphere from the pedestal and insert it in
the slot on the left wall. A section of the wall will rises and you will
find a Macalania Sphere. Go up the ramp and take the new Macalania Sphere,
go back down and insert it into the pedestal, push the pedestal to the right
and you will see a section of the bridge reconstructed. Next, go back up and
remove the Macalania Sphere from the slot in the bottom right corner of the
screen. Go back down the ramp and place it in the slot on the left pillar.
Next, take the sphere at the top of the ramp and place the sphere in the
central pillar and you will see the bridge fully completed. Next, go up the
ramp, where the bridge is and step on the switch on the floor to bring up
the pedestal. Notice that the last section of the bridge will disappear.
Pick up sphere and push the pedestal to the left. After a little scene, you
will see the same pedestal with a Destruction Sphere on it. Go back down the
ramp now and step on the switch on the floor to make the pedestal appears to
its first position. Now go insert the sphere you have in your and on the
bottom right slot to make the little iceberg appears again. Push the
pedestal to the right to make the iceberg go away. Now, take the Macalania
Sphere from the central pillar and place it in the slot at the upper right
corner to make the ramp appear. Take the Destruction Sphere from the
pedestal, go down the ramp and insert the sphere in the slot to the left.
This will destroy the ice behind Tidus and you will be able to pick up the
chest there for a Luck Sphere. Now, go up the ramp and push the pedestal
down the ramp. Get the Macalania Sphere from the bottom right corner of the
screen and go put it into the pedestal. Now, push the pedestal to the right
so it will activate the third part of the bridge again. Now, go up the ramp,
take the Macalania Sphere and insert it into the central pillar to complete
the Ice Tunnel. Exit the area and the Cloister of Trials is now completed!
As you attempt to leave the temple, Tromell will stop you. You will be
called traitors for giving death to a Maester. As you attempt to show him
the Sphere, Tromell will destroy it and you will now be on your own, running
like crazy to not get yourself captured. You will exit the temple, take time
to talk to O'Aka at the exit and save your game. As you attempt to cross the
bridge, a group of Guado will run toward you. If they catches you, your
party will enter in a fight against the Guado Guardians. As you leave the
ice bridge, they will stop running at you. On the next area, stick on the
right side of the screen and you will soon encounter a chest with a Lv.1 Key
Sphere inside. Continue south and you will fight the boss of this area.
!!!!! BOSS : WENDIGO & GUADO GUARDIANS : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 18000, 1200 AP : 2580
Weakness : Fire Steal : Hi-Potion
First of all, use Rikku to steal the Hi-Potion from the Guardians, then
dispose of them. Don't attack Wendigo until both of the Guardians are out.
They will cast Berserk on Wendigo, so use a Remedy on him to cure that. Now,
use Wakka's Sleep Attack and unleash your Fire Spells on him. Cast Haste on
Lulu and when Wendigo wakes up, put him to sleep again and repeat the
process until he is dead.
"First thing you want to do is just get in battles around the save point and
have Yuna work up her overdrive and once she has her overdrive you can head
in the battle. Start off with however you want and then once it comes around
to Yuna's turn use your Grand Summon and summon Ifrit, after you bring him
out use Hellfire this should do 9999 damage to the guards and Wendigo, then
before the guards die they will cast protect and shell on Wendigo. Then have
Wendigo hit Ifrit and just keep him alive by using shield or having him with
enough HPs that he survives 2 hits and you should get another Overdrive use
Hellfire once again and the battle will be over and you killed him with
Overkill as well. (note your characters can not be super weak during this
part, and I was fairly worked up a bit.)"
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, the boss unleash its final attack and your party will find
themselves underground. When Tidus wakes up, talk to everybody. Look behind
Kimahri for a chest containing a Lv.2 Key Sphere. Once Yuna leaves, talk to
everybody again, your party will be attacked by Sin and when you wake up,
Tidus will be all alone in ...
============================================================================
SANUBIA DESERT
Party : Tidus, Lulu, Wakka, Kimahri, Auron, Rikku
Enemies : Alcyone, Cactuar, Mech Guard, Mech Gunner, Mushussu,
Sandragora, Sand Worm, Zu
Items : Hi-Potion (X16), X-Potion (X4), Mega-Potion (X5), Ether (X2),
Remedy (X4), Elixir, Megalixir (X3), Al Bhed Potion (X24),
Lv.2 Key Sphere, Teleport Sphere (X2), 10 000 Gil.
Equipments : None
Key Items : Al Bhed Primer Vol. XVII, XVIII, Mercury Crest
============================================================================
Tidus will wake up near a save sphere and a little oasis. You can save if
you want. Also, go in the oasis and swim to the bottom left corner of the
map and you will pick up a chest with four Remedies. Now, head up and you
will soon be forced to fight against a huge bird named Zu. After one or two
turns, Auron will join Tidus in the fight, then after a while, Lulu will
join the party. At that time, you shouldn't have any problem to defeat Zu,
just blind him and you will be fine.
===================================
Here is a strategy from Justin Neme
===================================
It's easy to beat the Zu without Auron or Lulu entering the fight at all
(which must be a triggered effect of losing too much life because it hasn't
happened to me on any of my times through the game). Anyway, simply cast
Haste and Slow and the beginning of the battle and use the "Delay Attack"
special skill and Tidus should be able to win pretty easily.
It makes the followup dialogue to the fight pretty funny...
Tidus : "We Rock!" makes no sense anymore...
Now, continue up to find Wakka near a tent. Wakka will tell you that Yuna
is nowhere to be found and your job will now be to find her. Man, it's
always Yuna that gets herself in trouble around here. Anyway, pick up
the treasure chest near the tent to find eight Al Bhed Potions. You can also
look at the Sphere Monitor to learn how to defeat the powerful Zu and the
Cactuars.
Continue down to the next area, then north to find a sign saying : "Oasis
Ahead". Turn right from that sign and continue up to meet Kimahri in the
desert. Now, once he joins you, return to the sign and head up to meet
Rikku. She will tell you that she knows where Yuna is, she is at the Al Bhed
HOME. So that's where are going to go. You can pick up two chests in the
same area you met Rikku for two Ethers and eight Al Bhed Potions. Now,
follow Rikku until you are in an area with an Al Bhed sign that says "Home
ahead", now head left and you will come across a chest with four Hi-Potions
inside. Next, head up the next area to be in Sanubia Desert Central. This is
a very huge area and I hope your Al Bhed Language is really developed since
will need to check a lot of signs. Anyway, you can also find Cactuars in
that area. Those are small, green cactuars that uses 10 000 Needles Attack,
thus killing your character with one blow. You can steal Chocobo Feathers
from them and also, if you kill them you will win 12000 AP. Anyway, in that
area, go northwest and you should come across two chests. One with two
X-Potions inside and another one with two Mega-Potions. Next, head east
until you come across a landmark on the mini-map. Check that out for a chest
with four Hi-Potions inside. Now, head north to find the Save Sphere. You
can pick up a chest with eight Al Bhed Potions inside. You will also find a
sign near the save sphere. Now go west and head in some kind of ruins.
Beware of the Sand Worm in that area since it has 45 000 HP. I suggest you
cast Darkness and Silence on him, then use physical attacks until he is out.
Also, if you have your Shooting Star with Auron, use it on him, it will deal
3500 - 4000 HP of damage, but the enemy will be banished of the battle.
Anyway, in the ruins, you can pick up three treasure chests, one with an
Elixir located south of the ruins, a Lv.2 Key Sphere and 10 000 Gil in a
destroyed tower just north of the entrance to the ruins. From the tower,
head to the north and keep your eyes open for an Al Bhed Primer vol. XVII.
Now, return all the way to the Save Sphere.
From the sphere, head north and keep your eyes open for an Al Bhed Primer
vol. XVIII lying on the ground. Now, head northeast to the next and final
area, Sanubia Desert West. First, head northeast again until you reach a
stone with a cactuar on it. Notice it and remember its emplacement since you
will need to come back here for a Sidequest later on. From the stone, head
left and you should come across a side area on the map. Pick the first chest
you see for eight Hi-Potions, then continue left in the sandpit for a chest
with a Mercury Chest inside. Now, go out of the side area and head north.
Examine each sandpits, even if there is a monster inside the pits, called
the Sandragora. They are not very hard to beat, but they can confuse your
characters so that can give you a hard time beating them. You should fight
those monsters, because their are some pretty good chest to pick up. There
is one with three Megalixir, then go left to find another chest with three
Mega-Potions. Now, from where you have picked up the three Megalixir, head
northeast to find another sandpit with a chest. Pickup the two Teleport
Spheres in the sandpit and move north a little and go west. You will come
across one last chest with two X-Potions inside. Now head north into Home.
============================================================================
HOME
Party : Tidus, Lulu, Wakka, Kimahri, Auron, Rikku
Enemies : Bomb, Chimera, Dual Horn, Guado Guardian
Items : Hi-Potion (X2), Al Bhed Potion (X10), Special Sphere, Skill
Sphere, Friend Sphere
Equipments : None
Key Items : Al Bhed Primer vol. XIX, XX, XXI
============================================================================
The Al Bhed Home is in flames. Once you have met Cid, you will need to find
Yuna. There, search the bodies for two Hi-Potions and go west of the Save
Sphere to find an Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIX. Now, enter the door to the north
and your group congregates in the center area. They will soon be attacked by
a Guado Guardian and some other monsters. In those type of fights, it is
usually good to kill the Guado first, since he will cast Silence on Lulu and
support magic on the fiends. Once the fight is over, follow your party to
the next area. After you have heard Cid, you will fight another Guado
Guardian and two Dual Horns. Use the same strategy as in the first fight and
you will be more than fine. Now, once you have been down the stairs, turn
around, head back to the south corridor and enter the living quarters on
your left. Pick up the Al Bhed Primer vol. XX lying on the bed. There is
also a chest on the right, but you will need to translate three words in Al
Bhed to get it. Here is what you need to say.
--------------------
| 1 | 4 | 7 |
| 2 | 5 | 8 |
| 3 | 6 | 9 |
--------------------
You will have three screens like than. Each number represents a word so on
the first screen, pick the word placed at position number 6. On the second
screen, pick the word placed at position number 8 and finally at the last
screen, pick the word placed at position number 5. Your reward will be a
Friend Sphere.
Now, exit the living quarters and head down the stairs, you can pick up a
chest with four Al Bhed Potions in a chest to the left. Now, go north from
the corridor to encounter an intersection. Go north first and pick up a
chest with six Hi-Potions inside. Next, return to the intersection, go right
and search for an Al Bhed Primer Vol. XXI lying in the top right corner of
the screen. Next, enter the blue door. You can find a Compilation Sphere
there and near of it is a treasure chest locked by Al Bhed Math. Here's the
chart on how to deciphere the code, thanks to PlayOnline :
---------------------------------------------------------
|Digit number| What you must do |
---------------------------------------------------------
| 1st | Add both numbers |
| 2nd | Subtract the 2nd number from the 1st number|
| 3rd | Multiply the 1st number by the 2nd number |
| 4th | Add both numbers |
---------------------------------------------------------
You will pick up a Special Sphere from the chest. Now, the second chest, you
will need to decipher four questions. Here's what you must do to correctly
unlock this chest :
On the first question, pickup the third answer. On the second one, pick up
the fourth answer, on the third one, pick up the second answer and on the
last one, pick up the fourth answer. This will open a chest with a Skill
Sphere inside.
Next, return to the intersection and head left. There is a save sphere
there, I suggest you save. Then follow the linear path to meet your party.
You will be attacked yet again by monsters. Defeat them and head down the
stairs. Look under the stairs for a Lv.4 Key Sphere and look on the right to
find a chest with a Lv.2 Key Sphere inside. Now, follow your party inside
the door.
Tidus will learn the truth about the summoners and their pilgrimage. It
seems that a summoner will die after they have summoned the Final Aeon
required to defeat Sin. Tidus will be mad and sad at the same time, man
that's not a good day for him :). Anyway, once you regain control of him,
head to the left corner of the map to pick up a chest with 10000 Gil inside.
Then make your way to the green door on your map, and board the airship.
Inside, you will see some more scenes and Cid will decide to check out for
Yuna. They will also destroy their Home, so if you have missed anything, you
should reset your game...
============================================================================
AIRSHIP
Party : Tidus, Yuna, Wakka, Lulu, Kimahri, Auron, Rikku
Enemies : Bomb, Dual Horn, Evil Eye, Evrae
Items : Al Bhed Potion (X4)
Equipments : None
Key Items : None
============================================================================
Once you gain control of Tidus on the Bridge, speak to everyone there and
you can also save your game if you like. Next, go outside the bridge and
speak to Auron. Leave the area and go up first, you can meet someone running
there. Continue up and talk to everybody, even if you don't understand what
the people means. Now, return to the exit of the bridge. You can meet Isaaru
and is guardians there. Talk to him if you like and continue south to meet
Rin. He will ask you to buy something to help the reconstruction of Home. It
doesn't matter if you buy anything from him or not, so continue up to the
next area. There, turn left and enter the door to see Dona lying on the
ground. She will ask you if she should quit her pilgrimage or not. Tell her
what you like since it doesn't seem to affect the game later on. Continue up
now to the next area. There are some Al Bheds there, speak to all of them
then, return to where you met Dona. Exit the room and go south, you can
speak to the Al Bhed on the left of the screen and he will give you four Al
Bhed Potions, then return to the bridge and speak to everyone again except
the pilot. Then, talk to the pilot, he will tell you that he has founded
Yuna and you will see her with Seymour in what it seems to be ... a wedding!
You will learn that you need to defeat the guardian of Bevelle and also you
will learn that the ship is infested with fiends! Now, save your game and
spend your S.Lvl if you have any. Also, equip the best weapons and armors
you have since you will have a really tough boss to fight. Anyway, once you
are ready, exit the bridge and head south, south and south again to be in an
area with a Save Sphere, save then go up the ramp to meet Rin. Talk to him
to buy some equipments and items and go up the elevator to the outside deck
to fight with the Bevelle Guardian...
!!!!! BOSS : EVRAE : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 32 000 AP : 5400
Weakness : None Steal : Water Gem
This is the toughest boss you have ever fought since the beginning of the
game. You need to use a good strategy against this boss, since your party
can be destroyed in no time. Start by using Tidus, Wakka or Auron and Rikku.
Cast Slow on the boss with Tidus, then cast Haste on Rikku. Notice that
only Rikku and Tidus have Trigger Commands. The command will make the ship
go away from the boss, thus, you will be able to dodge most of its attacks.
You can see when it will be the ship turn in the CTB Window. Anyway, make
Wakka and Auron attack this boss and use some Al Bhed Potions when you need
to heal. When you see the Boss inhale, it means that he will use its most
powerful attack, the Poison Breath. If the ship has a turn before the boss,
use that opportunity to move away and you will dodge its attack. If the ship
doesn't have a turn, make your party defend and hope the damage won't be too
great. Anyway, if you are poisoned, use an Al Bhed Potion to cure your party
and then attack him in full force. When Evrae's HP is getting low, he will
cast haste on himself. Now, unleash all you have to defeat him since he will
act a lot more often than usual.
===========================================
Strategy from NagisaKaworu, seifz@yahoo.com
===========================================
Have the ship stay close to the boss, and have Auron and Wakka attack like
crazy. Also, have Kimahri attack, and allow Tidus to cast Slow on the
monster. Use Rikku if you need to Cure your characters and make sure her to
steals some Water Gems. When the boss inhales, move the ship away and dodge
the Poison Breath. If you can't, no big deal. Just use an Al Bhed Potion.
If at any time Tidus and Rikku has a turn right before Cid's, move the
Airship away from Evrae. If you keep it away until Cid's next turn, he will
fire a bunch of missiles at Evrae, causing a lot of damage!!! This can be
done a few times. This boss isn't too hard if you fight him this way.
==============================================
Strategy from Superguy888, Superguy888@aol.com
==============================================
This boss fight is accually very easy because Evrae is so predictable. Start
with Tidus, Rikku, and Auron in your party. Rikku usually starts first so
tell her to back the ship away form Evrae. Now tell Tidus to cast "Slow" on
Evrae, it might miss a few times but Evrae is not immune to it. Then tell
Auron to bash it like crazy. By now the ship should have moved back, so now
keep it back! Trade Auron for Wakka and use Wakka's "Reflect" on Evrae
(you'll understand why later). Now have Rikku use "Luck" and Tidus to cast
Haste on the party ( This will give you more turns than Evrae because you
used slow on it). Now once everyone has haste and Wakka has been attacking
Evare. The rest is a piece of cake. Just keep attacking Evare like crazy
with Wakka and/or Lulu. Once Evrae uses its scyth move on you, you can begin
the beat down! Evrae will try and cast Haste on itself but since it has
"Reflect" on it it will bounce of to your party ( pretty sweet huh ? ) Evrae
will not attack at all until it can cast "Haste" on itself which it can't so
just pull out Auron and Tidus and beat it to death and not using any more
than 5 Al Bhed potions!
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!

============================================================================
Tidus will come to crash Seymour's party as they arrive on the roof of
Bevelle Temple. I suggest you heal yourself before heading to the north,
since you will not be at full HP after fighting Evrae. Once you are ready,
head north into a series of fights. Here's a few tips on how to defeat the
enemies there. When you fight a Warrior Monk with FlameThrowers, quickly
dispose of them since they can attack your party with one attack. Also, when
you fight a YKT-63, kill him first, because if he is left alone on the
field, he will kill one of your characters with a single kick.
Here are some strategies from D West, capital_dw@yahoo.com to win those
tough fights with ease :
"If the battle between the Flamethrower Monks gets really tough, all you
have to do is use Rikku.
On the battle before Evrae, I walked all up and down the ship with Rikku in
my party. When you find the 'Bombs' ( those fire monsters ) be sure to use
'steal' on all of them, because those Bomb Cores will be important.
After you've stolen about 20 or so, use them to customize your party's
armor. When you use the Bomb Cores, they make your armor Fireproof, thus
making it very simple when fighting those Flamethrower Monks, since they
will be dealing a whopping 0 damage..."
Once you went through all the fights, you will meet Seymour and Yuna at the
top of the stairs. She will try to send Seymour, but your party will be
captured and she will have to choose between the life of your party or send
Seymour. Of course, she will choose to let you live and she will marry
Seymour! Now, Seymour will tell his guards to kill you and Yuna will do a
"distraction" to let you escape.
You will find yourself at the top of some circular stairs, examine the panel
at the top and you will soon find yourself down the stairs. Don't miss the
Al Bhed Primer vol. XXII down the stairs, just before the Cloister of
Trials. It will be the FIRST and LAST time you will be able to go there.
BEVELLE'S CLOISTER OF TRIALS
----------------------------
Note : This will be the first and LAST TIME YOU CAN COME TO THIS CLOISTER OF
TRIAL. You CANNOT go back after so I SUGGEST you do it well. Also, it's NOT
important to pick ANY treasure chests for this area if you want to do the
ANIMA Side Quest.
This is the most difficult Cloister of Trial yet, this is why I will draw a
map for this Trial. I will try to put key points, so I can explain to you
what to do and where to go.

S
First of all, at each intersection point, there is a glyph on the ground
with arrow that points each direction that are possible to go. Press the X
Button when the arrow points in the direction you want to go and you will be
transported there. Now with that in mind, start at the S point. At the first
intersection, head right and follow the path to the bottom. Take the Bevelle
Sphere from that point and insert it in the pedestal. Push the pedestal on
the path and ride the moving platform to the S Point. Continue up this time
and go to point 1. Take a sphere from the pedestal and insert it in the slot
there to make a new section of the Cloister appear. Push the pedestal back
on the path again and ride it again. At the end of the top path, use the
glyph to turn 180 degree and head down. At the middle glyph, turn right to
go to point number 2. There, remove the Bevelle Sphere and put it in the
pedestal, then, push the pedestal on the path and ride the platform to the
north point S to start at the bottom point S. At the first glyph you see,
turn right and go down to the lower area. Turn left at the first
intersection you see and head to the end of the path. Ignore the first two
intersections and turn right at the last glyph to go to point 3. Take one
of the sphere from the pedestal and put it inside the slot there. You will
open a new path with a purple glyph. Push the pedestal back on the track and
ride it to point A north. You will start back at point A South. Ride the
platform to point 4 and the Glyph Sphere there. Insert it in the pedestal
and get back on the track. Return to point 3 and insert the Glyph Sphere to
obtain the Destruction Sphere. Take it and go back on the platform and
return to point A south. From there, go to point 4 and insert the
Destruction Sphere in the slot from where you have previously picked the
Glyph Sphere. You will open a brand new path. Ride the platform to point 3
and take the Bevelle Sphere that you have inserted there. Now, return to
point A south and at the second glyph, turn right to point 5. There, push
the pedestal towards the new area and hop on the platform. You will now be
at the bottom of a stairway. Ascend it and pick up the HP Sphere in a chest
there. The treasure chest will disappear revealing a switch on the floor.
Step on it to make the pedestal appear near you. Take a Bevelle Sphere from
the pedestal and insert it in the slot to open a new path on the left. Push
the pedestal to the left and ride it to find a chest with a Knight Lance.
Step on the platform again and go to the bridge on the right.
Congratulations, you have completed the hardest Cloister of Trials in the
game!
You will meet Yuna in the Chamber of the Fayth and you will soon be captured
and then sentenced to the Via Purifico. Your party will be separated from
there, but first, you will have control of Yuna.
She will be by herself all alone in a maze. First, head east then north and
you will encounter Kimahri. He will join Yuna, so the fight will be a little
easier from now on. Move left from where you have met Kimahri and pick up
the Mega-Potion in a chest there. Next, follow the path north and you will
soon meet Auron in front of a Save Sphere. From there, continue west to come
across a T-Intersection. Go straight and you will reach a locked room with a
few treasure chests inside. Now, return to the T-Intersection and go south,
follow the path until you reach a Teleport pad on the ground. Turn right to
meet Lulu at the end of the path. You can also pick up a chest with a Magic
Sphere. Next, continue south from where you have met Lulu and you will reach
a dead end. Pick up the Elixir there and go back until you reach an
intersection. Go right and you will soon be at your starting point. Once you
reach the Save Sphere, head north and head right at the intersection to pick
up a Black Magic Sphere. Now, the floor glyph will be active, step on it and
the teleport pad will be moved to a new location. Return to where you have
met Auron and head west from that point, use the teleport pad and you will
be inside the room. Pick up a Skill Sphere and a Lucid Sphere there. Now
return to where you have met Auron and head north to toward the exit. You
will soon be stopped by Isaaru and his Aeons.
!!!!! BOSS : ISAARU'S AEONS : BOSS !!!!!
HP : ? AP : 6000
Weakness : Ice Steal : Nothing
This is a pretty easy fight. Isaaru will start out by summoning Grothia,
a.k.a Ifrit. Use Shiva for this first fight. Since you have more speed than
Ifrit, you will be able to attack him and heal yourself. Cast Blizzara on
him and don't forget that you can cast Blizzara on yourself to heal you. If
Ifrit got his Overdrive, just use Shiva's Shield and you will be fine. His
next Aeon is Pterya a.k.a Valefor. Use the same strategy that you used to
defeat Ifrit and you will be more than fine. His last Aeon is Spathi a.k.a
Bahamut. Use Shiva yet again for this fight or use Ixion if you like.
Bahamut will attack with a special attack and he will begin a countdown.
When it reaches zero, it will use its Mega Flare, so use your Aeon's Shield
Command. Use a Black Magic to heal yourself and continue attacking him and
he should go down after a lot of hits.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
When you have defeated Isaaru, you will be in control of Tidus, Wakka and
Rikku. You are underwater, so get prepare to fight underwater monsters. The
path is linear, so continue it until you reach another Save Sphere, don't
bother saving since you will fight the easiest boss in the game.
!!!!! BOSS : EVRAE ALTANA : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 16 384 AP : 5800
Weakness : Life Steal : Water Gem
First, steal his Water Gem with Rikku, then use a Phoenix Down with either
Tidus or Wakka and the boss will die :).
===========================================
Strategy from NagisaKaworu, seifz@yahoo.com
===========================================
Make sure Rikku steals Water Gems as much as you can (he has a lot). Then,
have Wakka use a Pheonix Down and Tidus use a Pheonix Down. Or, just use a
X-Potion/Elixer/Megalixer. Be sure NOT to use the Trigger Commands.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
When the battle ends, continue on the underwater path and pick up the two
chests there for a Rematch located not too far from the Save Sphere and an
Avenger located right after the right turn. Follow the path to the
Highbridge.
Your party will reunite, but Seymour crash the happiness when he transforms
in Seymour Natus. Kimahri will sacrifice himself to hold Seymour, but Yuna
cannot accept that and your party will be forced to come back to help
Kimahri. There are two save spheres there, one at the beginning of the
bridge and another one at the end. I suggest you level up a little there and
also, you should get in Overdrive mode with two or three Aeons. This will
make the fight a piece of cake. Once you are ready, save at the sphere
located at the end of the bridge then go north to meet Seymour Natus.
!!!!! BOSS : SEYMOUR NATUS : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 36 000 AP : 6300
Weakness : None Steal : Tetra Elemental
First use your Trigger Commands with Tidus, Yuna and Auron since it will
boost your attributes. Start by using your characters Overdrive if they are
available. Just don't touch Mortibody yet! After you have used all of your
Overdrives, hurt Seymour until he is at 20 000 of HP. But, beware of its
attacks since it can caste some multi-spells or Flare magic. Also, he can
petrify one of your character. If that happens, use a Soft to cure them.
When Seymour is at 20 000, use your aeons Overdrives. It should deal about
8000 HP of damage on Mortibody and Seymour. Since Mortibody will die, it
will absorb 4000 HP of Seymour, so Seymour will now be at 8000 HP. He will
then kill your Aeon with one blow. Now, use your next Aeon and use your
Overdrive on him to finish him off.
================================================
Strategy from Raiyan Khan, cigarz@presidency.com
================================================
"This only works if you can compile all 26 Al Bhed Primers on the airship
before the Evrae battle. If you have all 26 then talk to Rin and he will
give you 99 Underdogs Secrets. When the battle comes around against Seymour,
all you need is Rikku's Overdrive, another character Overdrive (usually
Tidus), and of course either a Grand Summon or have any one of the Aeons at
Overdrive. Just start off by combining two Underdogs Secrets to do
Supernova, Tidus's Overdrive next, and then lastly an Aeon Overdrive. The
battle took me less than 2 minutes..."
=========================================
Daniel Conley, Pyromaniac4554@Hotmail.com
=========================================
"This is just the way I beated him and it takes either not running from a
single battle plus about an hour of training or three hours of training if
you rushed to get here so if it doesn't work for some people sorry. I
suggest Tidus, Yuna and Auron for this battle. First start off by hasting
everyone then use Reflect on all characters, this is good because with
Reflect the only move that does any damage is Shattering Claw and that only
does around 3 to 5 hundred damage a hit. With Reflect on every thin is
bounced back at Seymour which means you get to use spells on him and it
doesn't cost any MP Plus that annoying Break spell that he uses is useless
although it does hit him he is immune to it so. After Casting Reflect use
your talk commands then just beat the crap out of Seymour his magic will
hurt him and so will mortibodies and if you wanna go out with a bang us an
aeons overdrive myself I used Bahamut. It is nice to kill Seymour and see an
Aeon standing there. To anyone who finds this useful you're welcome."
===========================================
Strategy from NagisaKaworu, seifz@yahoo.com
===========================================
Do NOT attack Seymour! Ever! Simply attack the Mortibody until its HP is
drained. Then, it will absorb Seymour's HP. Repeat until Seymour dies. If
you like, use Bahamut to practically kill Seymour, and your other Aeons as
well. Make sure they are all in Overdrive mode, though, since they will die
after their first turn.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, you will find yourself at Macalania Woods. Save your game
and head south through the crossroads. You will meet Kimahri there. Talk to
him, then go past Kimahri to meet Yuna at the pond. We will see a CG Movie
showing their first kiss, really romantic... Anyway, once it's done, return
to your party with Yuna and after some scenes, you will go to sleep.

============================================================================
When you wake up in the morning, return to the Campsite and you will be able
to pick up a Lucid Ring located at the top-right corner of the map. Next,
return to the crossroads and head right until you find yourself in a HUGE
area called the Calm Lands.
There is a couple of Sidequests there, I will list them here and go to the
Sidequests section for more information on them.
--- The Monster Arena ---
You can find it in the middle-east of the Calm Lands Map. This is a
Crusaders ancient training area. Your job there is to capture escaped
fiends. Agree to help him and he will sell you weapons with the Capture
ability equipped to them. Buy the weapons to your top three fighters and
customize them like you want. Now, you will need to capture nine fiends that
roam in the Calm Lands area. Once you have captured those fiends, return to
him and he will make a treasure chest that you won't be able to open until
later in the game. Speak to him again and he will give you sixty Farplane
Winds. For more information on that, look in the Sidequest section.
--- Chocobo Training ---
You can also train Chocobos in that area, speak to the women on the chocobo
and she will let you train one. For more information, look in the Sidequest
section.
--- Remiem Temple ---
You can reach this Temple with a chocobo, the exact location is in the
Sidequest section. You can pick up an Al Bhed Primer Vol. XXIV there.
Now, on with the story... From the entrance to the Calm Lands, head left
until you meet Maechen. He will tell you more about the history of the Calm
Lands. Once you are down the ramp, stick on the wall to the south and head
right. You will find two chests at the end with 5000 Gil and 10000 Gil
inside them. Next, go in the upper-left corner of the map to meet Belgemine.
She will challenge you one more time. She will use Shiva, so use your Ixion
or Bahamut if one of them has their Overdrives. Use Ixion's Black Magic to
heal himself when it's needed and keep attacking Shiva. If you defeat her,
she will reward you with thirty Power Spheres. Win or lose, she will give
you the Aeon's Soul. You will now be able to upgrade your Aeon's Attributes
with that Key Item.
Next, continue to the northwest corner to find the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XXIII
near the cliff's edge. Once you have completed all of those side areas, head
to where the Save Sphere is. Enter there and you will meet Zuke. Lulu was
the guardian of Father Zuke in the past. Zuke will tell your party that he
has the order to kill you, but hopefully he won't and he will just go away.
Once you have control of Tidus, talk to everybody, then save your game. Now,
exit the trading post and run around it to find a chest with a Lv.2 Key
Sphere inside.
Now, exit the Calm Lands by the northeast canyon and use the Save Sphere
there. As you attempt to cross the bridge, some Guado Guardians will make
you fight one hell of a monster.

HP : 64 000 AP : 6600
Weakness : None Steal : Lunar Curtain
This is a really a tough boss, start out by using Tidus, Yuna and Auron. Use
Auron's Armor Break and Mental Break on the boss, then keep hitting him with
physical attacks. Have Tidus cast Haste on the party and have Yuna heal and
cast Protect on the party. Once Tidus has done his job, bring Lulu in the
party and use spells like Wateraga if available. Keep your characters
healthy and beware of it's Haymaker Attack.
===========================================
Strategy from George, webmaster@ummyeah.com
===========================================
Bring out Tidus or whoever you have trained PROVOKE too. Cast Provoke on the
boss at the begining of the fight. He does 1/2 HP damage to that character
the whole fight. Once that character gets down to 1 HP Defender X does 0
damage.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
Once this Boss dies, cross the bridge and then, head to the right side of
it. There is a ramp that descends in the gorge. Head there to find the
Cavern of the Stolen Fayth. You can do this Sidequest right now if you want,
just go in the Sidequest Section to have an explanation on how to complete
it. You can also pick up the Rusty Sword there. Now, once you are done,
return to the bridge and cross it to arrive at Mt. Gagazet.
============================================================================
MT. GAGAZET
Party : Tidus, Yuna, Wakka, Lulu, Kimahri, Auron, Rikku
Enemies : Achelous, Ahriman, Bandersnatch, Bashura, Behemoth, Biran,
Dark Flan, Grat, Grenade, Grendel, Imp, Maelspike, Mandragora,
Mech Defender, Mech Leader, Mortiorchis, Nidhogg, Sanctuary
Keeper, Seymour Flux, Splasher, Yenke
Items : Mega-Potion (X2), Lv.1 Key Sphere, Lv.4 Key Sphere, HP Sphere,
Fortune Sphere, Return Sphere, 20000 Gil.
Equipments : Defending Bracer, Recovery Ring, Star Armguard.
Key Items : Braska's Sphere
============================================================================
As you enter Mt. Gagazet, the Ronsos will stop you. Father Zuke was right,
you really are traitors. Yuna will soon gain the permission to pass the Mt.
Gagazet Mountain and you will regain control of your party. Talk to
everybody first and buy a lot of Holy Waters from the Ronso that sells
items. Once you are ready, head up to be stopped by Biran and Yenke. It
seems that Kimahri cannot pass since he is not strong enough. You will then
enter in a fight against both Ronsos.
!!!!! BOSS : BIRAN & YENKE : BOSS !!!!!
HP : Varies AP : 9000
Weakness : None Steal : Lv.3 Key Sphere
You will be all alone with Kimahri in this fight. For the first turn, don't
bother hitting them since it they will protect themselves. Once trapped in
the middle of them, start by concentrating your attacks on one Ronso. Also,
don't forget to use your Lancet Ability numerous times on them since they
will give you a lot of abilities. Once one Ronso is down, the other one will
use Berserk on himself. So attack him with all you got and heal yourself
when you need it. They should be down in no time.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
As you defeat Biran and Yenke, you will have some other scenes, the Ronsos
will want to honor lady Yuna by making a statue for her. They will also
honor Kimahri by telling the mount how strong his Kimahri. When you regain
control of your party, head north and you will see another scene with the
Ronsos chanting the Hymn of the Fayth. When you start, go directly to your
right and jump on the top ledge to pick up a chest with 20000 Gil inside.
Now, continue up and keep your eyes open for a chest with two Mega-Potion on
the left side. Now, proceed up the path and you will soon encounter a grave
of a fallen summoner. Next, continue up the path until you see a narrow path
leading north, go there and you will find the Braska's Sphere lying on the
ground. Watch it to hear Braska's last words to Yuna. Next, continue on the
path until you reach a T-Intersection, continue straight ahead on that path
and you will soon encounter a chest with a Defending Bracer inside. Go back
to the T-Intersection and head north. Continue on the path until you meet
Wantz, O'Aka's Brother. You can buy items from him if you like. Next,
descend the ramp and go south. Look there for a small area under the path
and you will find two treasure chests, one with a HP Sphere and another one
with a Lv.4 Key Sphere. Now, continue on the path until you reach a Save
Sphere. I suggest you boost three Aeons Overdrives for the upcoming fight,
since it will be a tough one. Don't forget to spend any S.Lvl that you have.
Once you feel confident enough, save your game then head north. You will see
a little conversation between Tidus and Rikku. As Tidus attempts to leave
the area, Seymour will be right behind him and he has a little surprise for
Kimahri. Also, it seems that Seymour wants to become Sin to "help" Spira.
Anyway, the bottom line is you got to fight him again...
!!!!! BOSS : SEYMOUR FLUX : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 70000 AP : 10000
Weakness : None Steal : Elixir
This is another hard boss. Seymour is always hard to defeat and this time he
is a lot harder than his previous forms. I hope you have your Overdrives
with your Aeons! Just at the beginning of the battle, he will use his Lance
of Atrophy on one character, that will make him in the Zombie Status, then
if you haven't the time to cure it, he will use Full-Life on your character,
so that's one out. Cast Hastega on your party if available, then hurt him
until he cast Protect on himself. Also, when Seymour cast Dispel on your
party, it means that his strong attack is coming up, so defend with all your
characters. Anyway, once he has the Protect Status effect, cast Dispel on
him and keep using the same strategy. After a while, the camera angle will
change and it's time to bring Yuna to your party. Start by using Shiva's
Overdrive on him, it will do 9999 HP of damage plus 4000 since Mortibody
will die with him. So that's 13000 HP down, good. Now, he will kill your
summon. With Yuna, don't summon another Aeon yet. Cast Shell on the
character that has the more HP in your party and witness it's attack.
Everyone will dies except the one with the Shell status effect. Use a Mega
Phoenix on your party and when you have control of Yuna, use your Aeons
Overdrives to finish the job.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the boss dies, head north and you will have a couple of more scenes.
Tidus will fall unconscious and he will wake up in Zanarkand ?! Head inside
the door there to meet a strange little guy. Some very sad revelations will
be made there and believe me you will be shocked! Once, the Fayth leaves the
house, follow him outside then listen to him again and you will wake up.
Once you regain control of your party, head north in the Cavern. Go north
and you will come across a Save Sphere, save because there are some really
tough monsters out there, like the Dark Flan. To dispose of him, simply use
your Zombie Attack with Auron, then use a Phoenix Down on him. Anyway, you
can't go north of the Save Sphere, because there is a hole there. So head up
the path on the left until you reach a water area. Now, Tidus, Wakka and
Rikku will be on their own. Continue to the end of the path and you will
witness the First Trial. You will need to press the X Button and throw the
ball through the little opening of the rotating shield. Once you complete
the trial, a little chest with a Lv.1 Key Sphere will appear in front of
you. Now, go back to the Save Sphere and you will notice that the hole has
been replaced by a stairway. Ascend the stairs and continue north to reach
another Underwater area. Follow the underwater path to the Second Trial, you
will need to select one character to push one sphere. Use Rikku to push the
Green Sphere, Tidus to push the Blue Sphere, and Wakka to push the Red
Sphere. Once you have completed the Trial, pick up the chest for a Fortune
Sphere. Now, return to the Save Sphere again. Head right from the Save
Sphere and go to the end of the path to pick up two chests with a Return
Sphere and a Recovery Ring. Next, return to the Save Sphere. Head northwest
this time. You will notice that yet another passage have been created to the
right. Go there and pick up the Star Armguard in a chest.
Now, return to the Save Sphere and go northeast. You will notice that there
is a new path on the left. Head up of it and you will see a scene between
Yuna and Auron. They will talk about Yunalesca and the guardian of this
Cavern. Now, near the exit, there will be a Save Point. I suggest you charge
up Yuna's Overdrive since there is another Boss coming up.
!!!!! BOSS : SANCTUARY KEEPER : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 40000 AP : 11000
Weakness : None Steal : Turbo Ether
This fight can be a real tough one if you don't know how to proceed. First,
he will use his Photon Wings on your party. It can put all your characters,
in confusion, curse, darkness, etc. So bring Yuna and start healing your
characters. Then, cast Reflect on the Boss, because if you don't he will
cast Curaga on himself. He will still cast it, but now it will be reflected
towards your characters. Next, cast Hastega on your party if you have it.
Attack him in full force. I don't know if Armor Break works, you should try
it. When he is low on HP, use Yuna to summon an Aeon and try to finish him
off with an Overdrive. Take note that only Holy Water will remove the Curse
Status Effect on your characters...
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, move north and Yuna will drop a Sphere of her own. Look
inside to hear her final words to the party. Once you have viewed it,
continue north into Zanarkand.
============================================================================
ZANARKAND
Party : Tidus, Yuna, Wakka, Lulu, Kimahri, Auron, Rikku
Enemies : Ahriman, Bashura, Behemoth, Dark Flan, Defender Z, Fallen Monk,
Grendel, Mandragora, Spectral Keeper, YAT-95, YKT-11,
Yunalesca.
Items : Lv.3 Key Sphere, Fortune Sphere, Friend Sphere, Luck Sphere,
10000 Gil.
Equipments : Spiritual Targe
Key Items : Sun Crest
============================================================================
This isn't really a hard place, since it's linear... Once you enter
Zanarkand, you will see FFX opening scene, so if you haven't figured it out,
it seems that all you have done was part of the past. Now, on to the present
and future! Once you gain control of your characters, continue up the path
and look for a chest with 10000 Gil, in a secret area to the right. Continue
up the path until you see a scene with Seymour when he was a child. After
the scene, head right and pick the Friend Sphere at the end of the path.
Next, continue up until you reach an area full of debris and look for a ramp
that goes down to pick up a Lv.3 Key Sphere. Next, continue up the path and
enter the dome at the far end. On your way through, you will encounter a lot
of scenes of past summoners and their guardians including Braska, Auron and
Jecht. Anyway, keep your eyes open for a Luck Sphere lying on the ground
located in the same area than the Save Sphere is located. Now head north
into another Cloister of Trials.
This Cloister of Trials is like Tetris, really :). You have blocks located
on the map in front of the entrance and you need to step on the floor panels
to activate the blocks. You can only activate the one on the map though,
because if you activate a block that is not on the map, you will need to
start again. If you want to know how the blocks are disposed on the floor,
just examine the Map and you will see every blocks. Anyway, complete the
first puzzle to open up a new area. Now, notice that there are six pedestals
in the first room, three on the left and three on the right. You cannot push
the pedestals in the middle. Now, push one pedestal and go in the new area
to see another map displayed. Examine it to see how the blocks are disposed
in the room. Next, complete the puzzle and return to the first room and push
another pedestal. Repeat the process until there are only the middle
pedestals left. Now, go back in the second room and take the Kilika Sphere
from the left side of the screen and insert the Kilika Sphere inside the
left pedestal. Now, return the second chamber and pick up the Besaid Sphere
and insert it inside the right pedestal. The puzzle will now be completed
and a Save Sphere will appear. Save your game then return to the second
room, examine the platform to fight a tough boss.
!!!!! BOSS : SPECTRAL KEEPER : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 52000 AP : 12000
Weakness : None Steal : Turbo Ether
This is a pretty easy boss, you just need to know how to defeat it. You will
notice that every character has Trigger Commands in this battle. Before
attacking the Boss, you should know that he will counterattack the three
circles in front of him. To dodge that attack, move to the three circles
behind him. Also, he will use its Berserk Tail after each turn. That will
put a character in Berserk and you will lose control of that character, so
that's not a good thing. You must cure that character before doing anything
else. Now, cast Hastega with Tidus and quickly move behind the Boss with all
your characters. You should be able to hit him a little. Cast Protect on
each characters with Yuna. Now, hit him when you can and after you have done
enough damage, Glyph Mines will start to appear on the field. If you stand
on the Glyph Mine when it is exploding, it will instantly kill one of your
character. So keep moving, hurting the boss and healing to defeat him after
a while.
Actually, make sure that the character with the highest HP stays in front of
the Boss at all times, and that the other two stay behind him. This way, he
will almost never move. Have Tidus caste Hastega and make sure he casts
Haste every time you bring in a new character to fight. Have Yuna cast
Protect on the character that stays infront of the boss (probably Auron).
Have the solo character attack the boss, and then have Yuna heal that
character when needed. Also, feel free to use Overdrives and make sure you
move your characters if the boss changes directions. And, never have all
three characters next to each other, or they will or be hit. It helps to
have all of your Aeons in Overdrive mode before this fight, because the
massive damage from them will probably almost kill the boss. Note that
Armor Break and Mental Break are not needed if Auron is your solo character
(and he has a Piercing Weapon, of course) and Bahamut is in Overdrive mode,
because his attack is not magic anyways.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, you will go down the platform. After a scene with the
priest, head north to meet Lady Yunalesca. You will then learn the truth
about the Final Aeon. It seems that one of your party members must be the
sacrifice to become the Final Aeon and it seems that the Final Aeon will
then become Sin. So that's why Jecht is Sin. When she is done talking and
you regain control of Tidus, go back to the previous room and save your
game. Then follow Lady Yunalesca at the top of the stairs. After some
scenes, Auron and your party will defy Yunalesca...
!!!!! BOSS : YUNALESCA BOSS : !!!!!
HP : AP : 14000
1st Form : 24000
2nd Form : 48000
3rd Form : 60000
Weakness : None Steal : Stamina Tablet
This boss has three forms, but don't worry, only the last form his hard.
First, start out by using Tidus, Yuna and your most powerful physical
hitter. Cast Haste and Reflect on him and make him attack Yunalesca. She
doesn't have many HP on her first form so you should be fine. Also, she has
two attacks, one turn she will attack you with her hands dealing a small
amount of damage thus removing any good status effect on a character and
then she will absorb one of your characters HP. If she happens to remove
your big hitter good status, recast Reflect and Haste on him. Keep hitting
her until her first form is dead. Now, she will reveal her second form. It
is pretty easy to kill yet again, but there is one little problem. She will
use HellBitter and your characters will find themselves in the Zombie
Status. Don't cure this status unless you really need it, you will see why
later. Now, keep hitting her with all of your most powerful attacks and
spells until she goes down and reveals her true form. This is the hardest
form and it has a lot of HP too. At her first turn, she will cast Mega Death
and if any of your characters aren't in the Zombie Status, they will die. So
that's why I told you to stay in that status. Next, attack her in full force
and use your Aeons if you feel that you need them. She will also use a Mind
Break on your character and your party will be confused. Anyway, cast
Protect and Haste on all your party and hit her with all you got. She should
go down after a while.
==============================
Strategy from Raynier Martinez
==============================
"Yunalesca is VERY VERY easy to defeat.
Just make sure Yuna has learned HOLY and have a few ETHERS or TURBO-ETHERS
available. Each casting of HOLY deals 9999 damage to each of the 3 forms
Yunalesca takes on. The other two party members can just remove status
ailments and attack as needed. Equip Yuna with a Deathproof and Zombie Proof
ring and this fight takes less than 10 minutes.
If Yuna hasn't learned Holy, use a Teleport Sphere to get her within 2 or 3
nodes from it (from Rikku's path, I believe). You will need a Lv. 3 Key
Sphere to get to it this way, but this makes the fight with Yunalesca
extremely easy."
====================================================
Strategy from John McPherson, syranthrax@hotmail.com
====================================================
By the time you reach Lady Yunalesca, Tidus should have his Hastega or be
relatively close, if not make sure while accomplishing this strategy you
work towards it ( it's on the left hand side of the sphere grid, the second
large circle from the top left.) Yuna should also be heading towards her
holy, these are the only two abilities required for to make this strategy
work.
Basically make sure Lulu and Yuna both have Holy and Tidus has his Hastega.
This can be quickly accomplished with a Friend Sphere, on Lulu once Yuna is
at Holy. As for the Equipment needed you need each of them to have a weapon
with a free customization slot, Tidus and Yuna need a piece of armor with a
free slot, and Lulu needs a piece of armor with two free slots.
Now for the items :
Farplane wind X60 (the arena trainer gives you 60 of these for catching
one of every creature in the calm lands)
Candle of Life X30 (I found the easiest way to get these is to steal
them from the fallen monks in the Zanrakand ruins)
Three Stars X60 (The arena trainer gives you 60 of these for catching
one of every creatures in any two areas, and the
Calm Lands counts as one so you only need to catch
one other area for this)
Now customize Tidus, Yuna, and Lulu's weapon with the ability One MP. Next
customize Tidus, and Yuna's armor with the ability Zombieproof and last but
most important Equip Lulu's armor with Zombieproof AND Deathproof.
Holy is the only spell Lady Yunalesca is vulnerable to, but it costs 85mp to
cast, but with One MP you can use it throughout the entire battle. Her two
biggest pains are when she zombies the entire party and her third form kills
the entire party. With everyone having Zombieproof, you can breeze through
the first two forms with little effort. Just Hastega the party and let Lulu
and Yuna, Holy the hell out of her. The third form is the tricky one, she'll
use Mega death which would normally kill everyone, but Lulu will live thanks
to the Deathproof you put on her armor. Now she can use a Mega Phoenix and
bring everyone back, now you should be able to finish her off before she can
pull her Megadeath attack again. If you want to guarantee success, have Yuna
cycle through her Aeons before using the Holy method on her third form.
The Majority of this strategy was designed for beating Lady Yunalesca, but I
learned later on, the Hastega and Holy, with one MP equiped, let me breeze
through the remainder of the bosses without breaking a sweat. In all
actually, my Aeons saw very little action after that.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
Once Lady Yunalesca is defeated, look to the left of the stairs at the top
of the screen for the Sun Crest, then exit the room. Auron will talk to you,
he will explain you who he is and why he is protecting Tidus. After the
scene, head outside and the Airship will come to pick you up.
============================================================================
AIRSHIP & THE HIGHBRIDGE
Party : Tidus, Yuna, Wakka, Lulu, Kimahri, Auron, Rikku
Enemies : Left Fin, Right Fin, Sinspawn Genais, Sin, Sin (Overdrive)
Items : None

Key Items : None
============================================================================
Here, witness the events with your party. Talk to everybody, including Cid,
then save your game. A new option will be available when you save. Now, you
will be able to board your ship from a Save Sphere. Now, leave the bridge
and head to the outside deck to meet Kimahri and Yuna. Kimahri will tell
Tidus to head to the Highbridge in Bevelle, so return to Cid. Wakka and
Rikku will find an idea too and it's to play the Hymn of the Fayth to calm
Sin. Next, talk to Cid and you will be able to travel on the World Map.
Select List for now and head to the Highbridge in Bevelle!
The guards there will soon stop you, but Shelinda, the new captain of the
guards will come to rescue you. Maester Mika will then receive you and after
a long talk about Yunalesca and the future of Spira, Mika will disappear.
You will then be in the Chamber of the Fayth. He will tell Yuna and Tidus
about Yu Yevon and he will ask you if you have a plan. Choose the first
option to tell him you will use the Hymn as a plan. After that, he will
remind you that the Fayths will stop dreaming. As you leave Bevelle, you
will talk to Shelinda about the Hymn, she will have everybody in Spira to
sing the Hymn when your airship will play it.
Next, you will be able to fight Sin. This is the BEST time to do the
Sidequest since it will level up your characters. Go to the Sidequest
section for more details.
Once you are ready, talk to Cid and head to Sin...
Head to the outside deck and after Tidus throws Yuna's Sphere away, Sin will
attack and you will fight him.
!!!!! BOSS : LEFT FIN , RIGHT FIN : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 65000 AP : 17000 each
Weakness : None Steal : Mega-Potion/Shining Gem
You will have to kill two similar bosses in two separate fights. I will only
do this strategy once, since it's the same fight the two times through.
First, you are on your Airship, so you have the same Trigger Commands as in
Evrae fight. Use Tidus to bring the airship near Sin on your first turn,
then cast Hastega on your party. Use Auron to deal damage on him and bring
Rikku in to heal the party. Once Tidus as done his Hastega job, just make
him use its Quick Hit ability on the Boss. When you get a message telling
you that the Core is gathering energy, quickly Pull back the ship, since its
attack will drop your HP to the 1/4. Once he has done its attack, get closer
to Sin and keep hurting him with physical attacks. Repeat the process until
he dies. After a scene, you will have to fight the Right Fin, so repeat the
same strategy on this boss.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After both fights, you will need to fight Sin's weak point :
!!!!! BOSS : SIN, SINSPAWN GENAIS : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 36000, 20000 AP : 20500
Weakness : Fire (Genais) Steal : Stamina Spring, Star Curtain
This can be a hard fight if you don't know how to proceed. First, take care
of Sinspawn Genais, since he will absorb any magic casted to Sin. His
attacks are pretty simple, so you shouldn't have any problem taking care of
him. Once he is out, you'll face Sin. Use Auron's Armor Break on him and use
Lulu DoubleCast to use your strongest Magic. Cast Holy if possible and use
Rikku's Al Bhed Potion if needed. Use your Aeons if it's really needed, but
I don't think you are going to need them. Keep attacking him until he is
out.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After those fights, Sin will go down and he will crash near Bevelle. Take
that opportunity to save your game and spend your S.Lvl. Next, head to the
outside deck and talk to Yuna, return inside the ship and speak to
everybody. Just be sure to talk to Rikku lastly. When you talk to Rikku, you
will notice that Sin is awaiting for Tidus. Save your game and head to the
Outside deck.
!!!!! BOSS : SIN : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 140000 AP : 20000
Weakness : None Steal : Supreme Gem
This Boss can be really hard if your characters are not too strong. First
use Lulu, Tidus and Auron. Use Tidus on his first turn to cast Hastega on
your party. Then, your airship will be drawn at Sin. Use Lulu's Magic Spells
on the Boss and then, once you are able to hit him with physical attacks,
switch Lulu to Wakka. Use Auron's Armor Break and keep hurting him with all
you got. Just pray Lady Luck that his Counter Attack doesn't Petrify or
Confuse any of your characters and if you are lucky, he will be down on your
first time through. If Sin has its Overdrive, it's Game Over for you.

Once you have destroyed Sin, your ship will head inside Sin. You will
disembark your ship and find yourself inside a mist area. You can still
board your airship, so don't worry about that! Now, head north and follow
the path until you reach an intersection. Note that the map draws as you
walk, so you don't actually see it. From the intersection, head left until
you reach a T-Intersection. Continue left to find a chest with a Special
Sphere inside. Continue left again until you reach a small alcove on the
left side of the screen and you can pick up a Phantom Ring there. Now,
continue north past the first intersection and after a while you should see
another one. Head to the northwest to find a chest with an Elixir inside.
Now, return to the intersection and go up the other path until you reach yet
again another intersection. Head south first to the end of the path and you
will find a chest with a Wizard Lance. Return to the intersection and head
right, follow the path until you reach a chest with a Lv.3 Key Sphere
inside. Next, follow the path to the north and you should reach a Save
Sphere. Save your game because there is a tough boss coming up!
!!!!! BOSS : SEYMOUR OMNIS : BOSS !!!!!
HP : 80000 AP : 24000
Weakness : Varies Steal : Shining Gem
First, start this battle with Auron, Yuna and Tidus. Have Tidus cast Hastega
as usually. Also, have Auron use its Armor Break and Mental Break on
Seymour. Have Yuna heal and use Nul Spells on your party. Now, notice the
wheels behind Seymour. They determine its elemental property. Now, attack
him with the opposite element. Keep using physical and magic attacks on him
and after a while, he will attack the Mortiphams behind him, thus shifting
its elemental property. When that occurs, use Wakka to strike the highest
Mortiphasm and use Auron / Tidus to hit the Mortiphasms on the ground. When
the four orbs of the same color are lined again, use Lulu's DoubleCasting
and use an Aeon if you like. Beware that when Seymour cast Dispel, he will
use a powerful Ultima on your party. Keep using that strategy and he will be
out in no time...
============================
Strategy from Jjukil@aol.com
============================
Since Seymour only uses one element at a time if you leave the wheels alone,
you can absorb most of his attacks very easily with an Aeon. They can't use
their Overdrives, but their physical attacks do decent damage if you Break
Omnis's Armor. When he uses Ultima, you can just Shield it, then dismiss the
Aeon and put in the next one. (If you don't mind killing your Aeons, you can
use the first one's Overdrive after Omnis changes elements to add an extra
punch instead.) The order he uses elements in is Fire--Ice--Water--Lightning
so you'll want to send out Ifrit and Shiva first and Ixion last, then repeat
the process (if you need to). You'll have to deal with Water without any
Aeons, unfortunately, since Squaresoft didn't see fit to give you Leviathan
in this one. One easy way to do this is using Mighty Guard, then putting
Reflect on all of your party members while Omnis takes all the Nuls away.
His bounced spells will heal him a little, but you should be able to do
enough damage to cancel that out. When he uses Dispel, send out Ixion to
Shield the following Ultima and you're set. This makes for a very long
battle, but a very easy one.
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, Yuna will send Seymour and you will defeat him for good.
Continue up to the next area. Now, head right at the intersection to find a
glyph on the wall. Examine it and you will see a message telling you to kill
ten fiends to open the door. After killing the number of required fiends,
return to the glyph and pick up the Lv.4 Key Sphere. Now, continue up the
path until you reach a platform with a Yevon symbol on it. Step on it and
you will be transported to an area where you can pick a chest with a
Four-On-One inside. Across the chest is a bridge that looks like a wall.
Push it and cross it to find a chest with a Defending Bracer. Now, head up
the path and look for a ramp that goes down. In that area, you can pick a
chest with 20 000 Gil. Next, step on the platform near the chest and you
will access yet another secret area with a HP Sphere and a Defense Sphere.
Next, return to the main path and head left and you should find a chest with
a Megalixir. Head northeast from the main path and look for an alcove near
the south wall for another ramp that goes down. There, you can find a chest
with a Laevatein inside. Now, head back up from the north wall, just press
the X Button when it appears to go up. Head left from the top to find a Save
Sphere. It will be the last Save Point in the game, so I suggest you to
save. Continue north and a large tower will crash on the ground. Head north
and examine it to find yourself in a circular area. You need to pick up ten
chests there. Beware, the chests aren't on the screen too long. Also, if you
hit the crystals coming up from the ground, you will be in a fight. Now,
once you have all ten treasure chests, you will be transported right in
front of Jecht. Spend your S.Lvl and equip your best equipments. Go north to
meet Jecht and a long talk between him and his son will happen. After a
while the final fight will begin...
!!!!! BOSS : BRASKA'S FINAL AEON : BOSS !!!!!
The final boss and not the hardest one, believe me. If you took the time to
level up a little, you shouldn't have a lot of trouble beating him. First,
cast Hastega on your party, then with Auron, use Zombie Attack on Braska. If
it works, the Padoga won't heal him for one turn. If you have your Legendary
Weapons with all your characters and have leveled up a little in the Omega
Ruins, you should deal more than 9999 HP of damage, so only four or five
turns should be more than enough to kill it's first form. Now, he will
transform in it's second form. He now has a huge sword in it's possession.
He can attack all your characters at the same time with it, dealing 3000 HP
of damage on each. Use some Mega-Potions after that attack and keep hurting
him. Once is Overdrive gauge is almost full, use Tidus's Trigger Command to
Talk and his Overdrive gauge will go down. Once he is low on HP, about 30000
HP, use Yuna Overdrive and summon Bahamut, Anima or The Magus Sisters to
finish him off.
"Party of Yuna, Tidus and Auron, all fairly leveled up, HP over 6,000 on
each, but nothing too outrageous. First off, Tidus cast Hastega on all.
Auron's turn, Armor Break, and his sword has Zombie Strike. Yuna's turn,
Doublecast Ultima. That stopped the Pagoda's. Tidus' next turn, Quick Hit.
Auron, same. Yuna summons Bahamut in Overdrive. That killed the first form
of Jecht, and sent him into Overdrive. He ran through overdrive twice on
Bahamut (Bahamut got one turn in between, I think I just used Impulse), at
which point Jecht killed him.
Next, Auron's Overdrive...I didn't have his final Overdrive, so this was
Banishing Blade. Tidus, same deal, Overdrive, but not his final one. Yuna
Doublecast Ultima. Auron Quick Hit, Tidus Quick Hit, then Yuna summoned the
Magus Sisters in Overdrive.
That did it, Jecht was dead with an Overkill bonus."
!!!!! END OF BOSS !!!!!
After the fight, some events will happen and you will fight Yu Yevon. This
is an event battle, so you cannot lose. First, you will have to summon all
of your Aeons and kill them one by one. Then Yu Yevon will show it's true
form. He has 99,999 HP, but don't worry you can't lose since all of your
characters have the Infinite Auto-Life status equipped. Just use Zombie
Attack on him and he will cure himself with Curaga. Once he is out, witness
the beautiful ending of the game!
