-------o--------\ Introduction (00101) \--------------------------------------------------------o

Note: This is an introduction to the guide, not the game. If you're lookingfor an introduction to the game, try the instruction manual ^_^

I've decided to include an introduction to this guide, and while it is notexactly my normal policy I feel it is an important addition here. I'd like tointroduce you to this guide and basically outline what I'm trying to do here.As you may know Final Fantasy X is undeniably one of the most popular RPGsever made and with that title follows a huge amount of documentation andwriting about it as well. Four years after the release of the game my

descision to write for it may not sound like the most appropriate descision tosome I felt I could contribute something and find a way to work it so thatthere would at least be reason to warrant another guide.

Basically the outline of this guide is as follows, there is a full andcomplete walkthrough for the entire game. This walkthrough is absolutelyspoiler free and complete down to every last detail from what I know of thegame after playing it upwards of 4-5 times over the past few years. Beyondthe walkthrough is a section detailing the majority of the sidequests thisgame has to offer, now the word "majority" will lead me to my other point.I have no intention of covering every detail of this game beyond what anyonecould possibly want, that's not to say I've left out anything important, whatthat IS to say is that you won't find the HP cost value for the Besaid Aurochs

left wing Blitzball player's second venom attack in this guide. It's farbeyond the scope of what I'm trying to do. In fact I've completely droppedall huge lists of items and their descriptions, the kind of stuff you couldfind by looking at any other guide. That's what I avoided.

Finally I'd like to explain what I've added, as you may know this certainlyisn't my first guide and I've received over 1100 emails since I first beganwriting. One type of email I have received on a number of occassions areemails from people who tell me they've started playing a particular RPG againafter a long period of time, and wondering if I could explain the story tothem because they have forgotten. Of course this is only one of a millionreasons why it could come in useful but I decided that in such a cinematicRPG, I would include an entire plot summary which rivals the size of thewalkthrough itself. This summary is a completely separate entity fromthe walkthrough itself, so while the guide remains spoiler-free, the plotsummary is of course spoiler-rific. Hopefully I haven't scared anyone off, orgiven the impression that any section of this guide may be lacking, when it isnot. I just thought it would be nice for people to understand the truepurpose of this guide before emailing me telling me I forget this section orthat section. I believe I've covered all the bases, please enjoy the guide!

And the game for that matter.

-------o--------\ Characters (00102) \--------------------------------------------------------o


4/77

I may have put this under the "Before you start" header but if you arelooking to avoid all possible spoilers in absolutely all forms, even the mostinsignificant, I'm sure you're aware to avoid any "Character" sections.

Tidus - Tidus is the main character of the story. Tidus is an avid player ofa sport known as Blitzball and he is the start player of his hometownZanarkand Abes. Everyone wants a piece of him. There's a big game tonight

calld the Jecht Memorial Cup. When the game begins an event occurs thatshapes Tidus' world forever and sends him on a journey surpassing time itself.

Wakka - Wakka too is a huge fan of Blitzball and is the captain of the BesaidAurochs. He hasn't exactly been very successful at Blitzball in the past, butthat's all going to change at the upcoming tournament. He meets Tidus earlyin the game and the two of them form a powerful bond of friendship quickly.

Lulu - Lulu lives in Besaid village, the same that Wakka comes from. She isclad in long dark robes and at least one hundred different belts. A friend ofWakka's and guardian of another, Lulu uses her powerful magic to protect theones closest to her. Despite her cold attitude, she's a very caring person.

Yuna - Yuna too is from the village of Besaid, she has had to live in theshadow of her famous father but has decided to follow in his footsteps. Shewill take on a pivotal role in the quest and quite possibly be the only onewho can save the world with a special power she possesses.

Auron - Auron is a very mysterious person indeed, he shows up early and iswilling to lend Tidus a helping hand though his motives are very unclear. Onething is for sure though, without Auron's help Tidus' fate would have surelybeen sealed before his journey even began...

Kimahri - A large hulking lionesque humanoid and member of the legendary Ronsotribe. Known for their physical prowess and quiet manner they like to act

first and talk later, but most Ronso are actually quite calm and wise.

Rikku - Rikku is an Al Bhed, another of the numerous races found around theworld. Though she is much more humanesque than the Ronso tribe, their is asubtle difference about her that makes her stand out. She is very quirky andextroverted and always seems willing to extend a helping hand.

____ inal Fantasy X /---------------------------------------------------------o -------o--------\ Zanarkand

(00001) \--------------------------------------------------------o

o------- Item Checklist -------o As the game begins you'll be introduced to your characters through a number of opening None......................./ scenes. When you have control head down and speak with all the people waiting for you,o------------------------------o especially the children. You'll be able to

name your character whose default name isTidus and will be referred to as such throughout the rest of the guide. Talktot he girls beside them as well. After talking to them there's a short

scene. With control once again make your way down the path as the announcerspeaks in the background. Just continue through the next area for a cutscene.


5/77

Follow the scene youi notice your have a little minimap in the upper leftcorner of your screen, use this in order to be able to tell the differencebetween South and West etc when the camera isn't in a static position. Nowrun South to meet up with someone and trigger another event. Now you willfind yourself in a battle, only two options are currently available, Attackand Item. Forget the Item command for now and select attack, your targetmakes no difference. With Auron the same idea applies, however he has access

to the Power Break skill. These enemies are far too easy to make it useful tojust stick with normal attacks. When you proceed further Auron gives you animportant piece of advice, which is to ignore the ones that don't matter.Even though you can target the enemies behind you they are unimportant sinceyou can simply eliminate the ones blocking your path instead.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Sinspawn Ammes ---------------o-------------- When the battle begins Auron automatically HP: 2400 AP: N/A has his Overdrive meter fully charged. An ---------------+-------------- Overdrive is an extra powerful attack that MP: 400 Gil: N/A builds up over the course of battle from

---------------o--------------o various conditions. It is akin to the limit breaks, or trance states of previous Final Fantasy games. You are not even given a choice, you must use this attack with Auron. Press left on the battle menu to find the Overdrive menu. His Overdrives are under the Bushido category, and the only one he has available at the monet is the Dragon Fang which targets all enemies. When you use this he will jump up and a button combinations will appear on screen along with a four second timer, you must input this button combination to perform Auron's attack. Four seconds is plenty of time, even if you make a mistake but don't feel bad if you mess it up the first few times. Now you can start attacking the boss normally, as you attack it you will slowly destroy the little light pods, use this as an indicator of how much health the boss has left. It will continually cast the Demi

spell which is Gravity based, Gravity deals damage equal to a percentage of your remaining health, in this case 25%. Even though it may seem powerful, you will keep taking less and less damage and your HP gets lower and lower so you won't have to worry about it actually killing you. After a second cast of the Demi spell Tidus has access to his Overdrive, Spiral Cut. Instead of a button combination it works off of your ability to hit a special target within the time limit. You have as many tries as you within that amount of time. Now that the Overdrives are out of the way just keep using normal attacks until the boss finally falls. Auron's Power Break skill still has little use, but you can use it if you wish. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

After the battle follow Auron up the road. Beyond the pods on your right youwill notice a glowing sphere, if you examine this with the X button you cannot only save your game, but also recover full HP & MP automatically.Continue toward Auron to trigger a scene and another fight. You're surroundedby enemies, and each time you kill one another reappears. Spend the beginningof this battle eliminating any of the enemies with flickering wings, thismeans that they are charging an attack for the next turn. Soon enough afteryou've taken out a few of them Auron will suggest you target the Tanker on theright side. Spend the rest of the fight ignoring the little enemies andattack the Tanker about four or five times to knock it down and begin anotherlengthy scene. As you're suspended in the air, hold the circle button todescend down. Swim down and to the Southwest until another event occurs.

__ inal Fantasy X /---------------------------------------------------------o -------o--------\ Ruins

(00002) \--------------------------------------------------------o

o------- Item Checklist -------o Now you'll have to navigate around this area in the water. Swim Northwest to the upper Potion................._____ left corner, the stone structure has a set

Potion................._____ of stairs you can climb up. Sitting on the Hi-Potion.............._____ ground is an Al Bhed Compilation Sphere, Ether.................._____ what this is, is an object that allows you Withered Bouquet......._____ to transfer data from an old save file to Hi-Potion.............._____ this game. Basically one group of people Flint.................._____ you will encounter speaks an entirely Potion................._____ different language designed for this game, Potion................._____ nothing too complicated just based on Potion................._____ replacing letters with other ones. Al Bhed Primer I......._____ Basically you can find a number of items called Primers which allow you to deciphero------------------------------o one letter of their aplhabet, and

there are twenty six of these in total. Youcan load all of the ones you found on your last file using this sphere to helpunderstand what they are saying, though it is by no means a requirement tounderstand the story. After examining the sphere head South and open thechest to find two 'Potion.' Return to the water and make your way toward thered arrow at the top via the path to the North. Follow it to the next area.

On your left is a save sphere, using it now would be a good idea. When youcome to a fork take the left (West) path to reach a chest containing 'Hi-Potion.' Go back to the fork and walk North for a scene. Try to swim Northbut you will be interrupted by a fight with some normal enemies. Just stickwith the Attack command, it is sufficient to take them all out.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Geosgaeno ---------------o-------------- As you can plainly see by the boss' HP HP: 32,267 AP: N/A total you aren't expected to come out of ---------------+-------------- this fight victorious. The fight only MP: 128 Gil: N/A actually consists of three rounds. Similar ---------------o--------------o to the first boss his attacks will seem to hurt at first until you realize that each one is actually set to only hit you from 50% of your current HP, so you cannot actually be killed in this battle. With this in mind don't waste any of your items trying to stay alive. On the third turn the battle ends. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

With that out of the way make your way North over the rubble and into thedoor. Check the Southwest corner of the room for a save point. You'll noticethat it is marked with a white square on your minimap, this is true of allsave points. Green squares always mark exits. Head North and go through theopen door. Directly below you in this hall is a chest containing 'Ether.' Atthe top of the stairs where the screen focuses on the East wall, examine thevase to receive 'Withered Bouquet.' The exit above you, at the end of thewalkway is a chest with 'Hi-Potion' inside. Backtrack to the save point inthe central room and walk into the room directly next to it. Under thewaterfall is an overturned desk, when standing near it the option to examineappears at the lower right of the screen, press X to pick up the 'Flint.'

Leave the room, save your game, and examine the fire pit in the middle.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o


7/77

Boss: Klikk ---------------o-------------- This is the first boss fight where there's HP: 1500 AP: 5 actually a risk of death, but fortunately ---------------+-------------- a simple risk doesn't necessarily mean it's MP: 5 Gil: 50 going to be very likely. Select the Attack ---------------o--------------o command each turn until the creature knocks you down to below about 200 hit points,

you may want to use a Potion or Hi-Potion to keep yourself alive. Once a few turns have passed the battle is interrupted and another character will join the fray. For the first turn she only has one option so choose to use one of her Grenades on the boss. Tidus can continue to attack from this point however keep using the Steal command every turn with ???? until you are able to steal a Grenade from the boss. If it's still alive at this point just go nuts with normal attacks for both of them. If you find yourself in danger don't hesitate to use more Grenades, and if either character is felled in battle, use the Phoenix Down item to revive them o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

During the scene scene following the battle you're not meant to understandwhat they are saying, they're speaking the alternate language I mentionedbriefly earlier. It's not hard to get the idea though just from the visuals.After the scene speak with the girl just below you to get a tutorial of theSphere Grid. The Sphere Grid is the basic level up system in this game,rather than having your stats increased automatically without your control,each time you level up your gain the ability to move a little further on theSphere Grid. When you move to another panel it may be an attack powerupgrade, defense upgrade or even a new ability. Each character moves aroundthe Sphere Grid but start at different locations to make them unique. Listenwell to the tutorial, it will seriously benefit you. You can use the SphereGrid yourself after the tutorial. Moving to one sphere means you can activatethe one you're on, as well as the ones following and preceding it. Select the

move option and move up one, this will give you the chance to use one of yourAbility Spheres to learn the Cheer ability. If for whatever reason you wishto view the tutorial again, speak to the man on the right and choose "Yeah."

Speak to the upper left guy and he'll give you three 'Potion.' At theNortheast corner of this deck examine the object on the ground to receive the'Al Bhed Primer Vol, I.' At the Northwest side use the sphere to save yourgame. Talk to the English speaking girl and you'll soon find yourself in thewater. Press the circle button to dive down and follow the chain toward theruins. This is the first area of the game where you will encounter randombattles, these occur with just simple small fry. Approach the ruins andexamine the panel to open the door. There's nothing of value to find in thisfirst area so just swim East to trigger a battle against some normal enemies.Watch the scene after the fight and swim back only to be ambushed!

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Tros ---------------o-------------- A giant squid monster attacks Tidus and the HP: 2200 AP: 8 girl here! When fighting this battle you ---------------+-------------- should focus mostly on using normal attacks MP: 10 Gil: 100 for Tidus and Grenades for the girl. If ---------------o--------------o she starts running low then you can just steal more from the boss. After it has taken a certain amount of damage it will go and hide out of reach. This is when your first trigger commands become available. Trigger Commands

are special battle specific commands that appear at certain times and let you perform alternate actions. In this case since the boss is out of range you have the option of pushing left to reach the menu where your


8/77

Overdrive usually appears, now there is another option called Stand By. Choosing this will forfeit your turn but also allow you to gain 50 HP which is helpful because his next attack will hit both your characters for over 150 each. Keep fighting him until once again he goes to hide, this time a second Trigger Command appears whcih lets you use a Pincer Attack to box him in. Now the boss can no longer hide and you are free to spend the rest of the battle attacking, stealing, and using grenades.

o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Go speak to the girl where the red arrow is located on your minimap and thenwatch the scene. Swim down to the Southeast portion of your map to continuethe event. When the girl is done talking you can save, and then speak withher again. After the scene you automatically get a chance to save.

(00003) \--------------------------------------------------------o

o------- Item Checklist -------o You'll wake up once again in a whole new area. When you start swimming don't Moon Crest............._____ approach the people on the beach, instead Antidote..............._____ swim East where you'll find a treasure chest Antidote..............._____ on a small area of beach. Inside the chest Phoenix Down..........._____ is the 'Moon Crest.' Don't expect to find Hi-Potion.............._____ any use for this item for a very long time! Antidote..............._____ Now head back to the beach and speak to Antidote..............._____ everyone. When it's over you can run to the Phoenix Down..........._____ far West side and find a treasure chest with 400 Gil................_____ two 'Antidote.' When you're ready approach

Potion................._____ the North path to speak with Wakka again. Potion................._____ Use the save point on the lower right and Hi-Potion.............._____ run down the path after him. Follow Wakka Al Bhed Primer II......_____ to the East and you'll end up in the water. o------------------------------o Swim to the South, remember that's South

according to your minimap, and open thechest to receive 'Phoenix Down.' Stay along the South wall as you make yourway East, soon after this one there's another chest with 'Hi-Potion' inside.Continue downstream, in the middle of your path when it curves Northeast is achest containing two 'Antidote,' you can't miss it. Now swim North and watchthe scene. Follow the path West toward the red destination marker and you'llbe interrupted by someone. Now make your way toward Besaid Village.

After the scene you can wander around the village at your own pace. Directlyleft of where you start is a chest containing 'Phoenix Down.' Take a look atyour minimap, you can see that just above you and to the West is a smalllittle peninsula-like outstretch, follow it to find three chests containing'400 Gil,' two 'Potion,' and 'Hi-Potion.' Speak to everyone in the village tolearn some things about Spira then run North into the temple at the top.

Approach the statues here to speak with the head of the temple. This is allyou need to do here, return to the main area of the village. Wakka's place isthe one just below the upper-right tent. Agree that it's a good time to takea rest and watch the flashback scene. When you awaken, head across the path

into the Northwest tent. This is the Crusader's lodge, you can talk to thepeople here and check out the sphere terminal for all sorts of tutorials onthe game. Just beside the entrance is a book sitting on the ground, this is


9/77

the 'Al Bhed Primer Vol, II.' Leave the tent and return to the North temple.

____ inal Fantasy X /---------------------------------------------------------o -------o--------\ Besaid Cloister of Trials

(00004) \--------------------------------------------------------o

o------- Item Checklist -------o First things first, examine the Glyph on the North wall. This opens up a path to your Rod of Wisdom.........._____ left. Examine the wall at the bottom to get a quick tutorial on the different Spheres.o------------------------------o The first are Glyph Spheres whcih open the

way to the "Chamber of the Fayth." Thesecond are Destruction Spheres which open the way to hidden treasure. Thethird are Besaid Spheres which are also necessary. After the tutorial youreceive a Glyph Sphere. Descend the stairs and insert the sphere into thedoor at the bottom. Once the door opens you can examine it and take thesphere out again. Follow the hallway and when it changes direction, check the

left wall and insert the Glpyh Sphere. Inside you will find a DestructionSphere, but there's nothing you can do with it at the moment so just leave it.

Around the next corner you will see a pedestal on your left and a glowingsymbol on the wall opposite it on your right. Examine the glowing symbol toreveal a path to a Besaid Sphere. Pick it up and put it into the pedestal onthe left. Now go back and pick up that Destruction Sphere and place it wherethe Besaid Sphere used to be. This will break open a secret room at the endof the hall which contains a chest. In the chest you will find 'Rod ofWisdom.' Return to the pedestal again and push it straight into the roomuntil it sinks into the floor. To push it simply hold the analog stick in thedirection you want to push. When you push it far enough a scene occurs.

(00005) \--------------------------------------------------------o

o------- Item Checklist -------o Walk over and talk to the girl by the fire, and then to Wakka after you're done. During Phoenix Down..........._____ the night there's a dream sequence where all Phoenix Down..........._____ you have to do is run to the left, a lengthy Phoenix Down..........._____ scene follows. In the morning save your Ether.................._____ game and leave the tent. You'll receive Seeker's Ring.........._____ your primary sowrd here, the Brotherhood. 400 Gil................_____ It's equipped automatically so don't worry Remedy................._____ about that. Before you leave you can check out the item shop in town and maybe make ao------------------------------o few purchases before you leave the village.

During your first battle you will o- Besaid (Item) --------------oautomatically get a rather simple tutorial on how to fight. Tidus is good at attacking Potion................50 Gil smaller agile enemies, and Wakka is more Phoenix Down.........100 Gil proficient at fighting airborne enemies. Antidote..............50 Gil During the next fight you face off against a physically resistance enemy, you know it's o------------------------------o

resistant because of the thumping sound itmakes when you attack. Magic elements are now explained to you, there arefour basic elements, Fire, Ice, Lightning and Water. Fire and Ice oppose, and


10/77

Lightning and Water oppose. Since the fiend you are facing is of the Waterelement that means you should exploit its weakness to Lightning. SelectThunder from Lulu's list of Black Magic and use it. Now run East for a scene.

Just above you is a save point, make use of it. Follow the directionalindicator to the Northwest. As you go along the path you will be ambushed.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Kimahri ---------------o-------------- Tidus should have the ability Cheer at this HP: 750 AP: 3 point since it only takes one levels up to ---------------+-------------- get, so start the battle by using this MP: 10 Gil: 100 skill. Now just stick with normal attacks ---------------o--------------o for awhile until your HP reaches critical levels. Use a Hi-Potion if necessary. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Keep following the linear path to the end. During the next fight you are

introduced to the concept of switching party members during battle. It'squite simple, one person can be replaced for another at any given time. Onwhoever's turn it is can switch by pressing the L1 button and choosing who youwant to switch with. For this particular case select Yuna and select theSummon command. Aeons replace the entire party when summoned and fight justas if they were a party member, except quite a bit stronger. They even havetheir own overdrives as well. Valefor is equipped with all sorts of magic andskills, but normal attacks will suffice just fine for this enemy. If youhappen to have your Overdrive built up enough you can use it the same way youwould for any other character. Following this fight is one more tutorial onWakka's skills. He has a skill called Dark Attack which is just like a normalattack but expends some MP at the benefit of inflicting the Darkness status onan enemy which makes it much harder for them to hit you.

When you arrive on the docks talk to absolutely everyone you see, more thanonce even. The woman at the bottom gives you three 'Phoenix Down,' and theman beside her gives 'Ether.' The old man at the bottom of the ramp offers'Seeker's Ring' and the young man above him gives '400 Gil.' Lastly thelittle boy will hand you a 'Remedy.' Now step onto the boat for a scene.

(00006) \--------------------------------------------------------o

o------- Item Checklist -------o Start by making your way into the cabin of the ship. You'll meet a man who identifies Al Bhed Primer III ...._____ himself as O'aka the XXIII. He requests some money from you, this guy will be a bigo------------------------------o help later in the game so lending him money

at this point is a good idea. In factlending him all the money you have is perfectly fine. Enter the room left ofO'aka and kick the suitcase for a total of twenty potions, then head into theroom South of O'aaka with the Chocobo to find 'Al Bhed Primer Vol, III.'Return to the deck of the ship and approach Yuna to hear a conversation.

Head down and speak with Wakka. Now that the crowd has dispersed you can go

up and talk with Yuna so trigger a long event. Following this event a battleoccurs between you and some normal enemies. If you don't like the party youare automatically assigned you can switch both Wakka and Lulu in. Soon you'll

realize you up against more than you thought.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Sin ---------------o-------------- The best way to make this fight easier is HP: 2000 AP: 10 to start off by killing two of the three ---------------+-------------- Sinspawn, and using the cheer ability.

MP: 100 Gil: 100 When all three Sinspawn are killed, three ---------------o--------------o new ones just appear. This is a good way to get some extra AP but of course it's just going to make the battle harder. Substitute Yuna and Kimahri for Lulu and Wakka. Since Sin's Fin is off in the background it can only be hit by long range attacks, fortunately Wakka's attack and Lulu's magic fall into this category. Use Tidus as a support character as you attack with Wakka and cast magic with Lulu. Since Sin does not have any elemental weaknesses the magic you cast makes no real difference. It will continually move from side to side but this really has no effect on the fight itself. Stick with a constant attack pattern to defeat the boss.

o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

After the battle watch the scene and get ready for another fight right away.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Sinspawn Echuilles ---------------o-------------- You're at a severe disadvantage here so you HP: 2000 AP: 12 will have to turn that into an advantage. ---------------+-------------- To get the upper hand start the battle with MP: 20 Gil: 115 cheer and use Potions to heal your party ---------------o--------------o back to full health from any damage they took during the last boss fight. Not only will you be fighting a large boss here, he also has four little Sinscales

at his side who attack frequently and are always being replenished so that trying to eliminate them yourself is a pointless endeavor. The other way to take advantage of this boss is extremely effective and that is Wakka's Dark Attack skill, the boss is susceptible to this status ailment so that when he is hit by it he will rarely be able to damage you, only the little Sinscales at his side will. Use your attacks until al the damage you take charges you enough to reach Overdrive, then let him have it. No problem. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Following the battle watch the impressive cutscene and arrive at Kilika port.

After the Mana Sphere............_____ scene run to the end of the East path and Scout.................._____ open the chest to receive two 'Mana Luck Sphere............_____ Sphere.' Return to the entrance and head Elixir................._____ West. During your first battle there's another tutorial involving Kimahri. Kimahrio------------------------------o is the "Blue Mage" of Final Fantasy X, his

Lancet ability can be used to learnabilities from certain enemies. You are forced to use it here and learn the

ability Seed Cannon from the Ragora. Learning a new ability automaticallybrings Kimahri to Ovedrive mode, his Overdrive is the ability to cast enemyskills which he has learned. Try using Seed Cannon after learning it.

Take a look at your minimap and follow the first skinny path you come toleading North, you will reach a chest containing 'Scout.' Note that at anytime is you need healing outside of battle you don't need to rely on using upall your items, Yuna is perfectly capable of casting her Cure spells from themenu even if she isn't in your party. North of the chest you just opened is a4-way split. Take the North branch and follow it until you are on the centrepath again. Run North and the path curves West, at the end is a chestcontaining 'Luck Sphere.' This is a special sphere different from other ones,rather than activating a node it creates a node on an empty spot. Try usingit on the sphere grid to make a Luck +4 spot, but it will remain unactivatedfor now since you don't have the right spheres to get the bonus. Head back tothe main path and run South to encounter a large enemy in your way.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Lord Ochu ---------------o-------------- As it does seem like a recurring theme, it HP: 4649 AP: 40 is still a good idea to use the Cheer ---------------+-------------- ability at the start of battle. This boss MP: 40 Gil: 420 is quite powerful and has quite a lot of ---------------o--------------o HP but you should be able to take it out as long as you are well prepared. You'll

need a good supply of Antidote items which you probably picked up quite a few of near the start of the game. If you're using Yuna in your party her Cure and Esuna will come in very handy. Whatever you do the most


13/77

important thing is to have Lulu in your party, Ochu has a weakness to fire so her Fire magic should deal a hefty amount of damage. Dedicate one of your other characters to healing and curing poison. Wakka's skills are fairly useless so it comes down to physical attacks and Fire magic. When Ochu decides to fall asleep you need to wake him up immediately otherwise he keeps gaining a massive amount of HP every turn. When he wakes up he always automatically casts the powerful Earthquake spell, so be ready to

set aside a couple characters that turn for helaing, and keep using Fire! o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Walk South and speak to the man with the red hair to get an 'Elixir.' FurtherSouth it's not too far out of the way to save your game again. Return towhere the two men are standing on the bridge in the middle and take the pathEast just above them. Follow this path to the end, and go up the stairs tothe next screen. Watch the scene then use the save point and ascend.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o

Boss: Sinspawn Geneaux ---------------o-------------- When the fight starts out the boss is just HP: 3000 AP: 48 a big rock blob that you really can't ---------------+-------------- hurt. If you try to cast magic on it, the MP: 30 Gil: 300 tentacles will absorb it. This means that ---------------o--------------o you must kill the tentacles first. Have Tidus and whoever you are using attack the tentacles physically. They only have 450 HP so it shouldn't take long before both of them are taken out. The boss has a weakness to fire magic and is vulnerable without his tentacles, so pull Lulu in and begin casting her magic. After a couple turns of this the true boss will expose itself, now it can attack more powerfully but it is no longer resistant to your physical attacks. Similar to Ochu it uses poison attacks on your party

so hopefully you've got some leftover Antidotes. From this point it shouldn't be too hard to deal the rest of the needed damage, the only difficult thing may be withstanding some of his more powerful attacks like the tentacles attack that hits your entire party. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Climb the stairs to the Northwest for a scene, then onward to the temple.Approch it and once again there's another scene. Head into the temple, saveyour game then talk to Wakka and pray with him. Following this event proceedNorth to the Cloister of Trials. Wait around for the elevator and Descend.

Push the pedestal up into the North room and onto the glowing floor panel justabove the door to the East. On the West side of this room there is a set of

stairs leading down, descend and take the Kilika Sphere out of the wall on theEast side. Backtrack to the South room and insert the Kilika Sphere into thewall on the left side. Back in the upper room again don't go down the stairs,go East into the small room your opened awhile ago and take the DestructionSphere. Go down the stairs and put it where the Kilika Sphere was justrecently and the wall explodes revealing a chest containing 'Red Armlet.'Head back and pick up one of your Kilika Spheres again and insert it into thedoor panel found as far North as you can go. Remove it again and proceed fora scene. Speak to All three of your party members and try to leave.

After meeting up with Yuna again exit the temple and speak to the peopleoutside. Navigate through the woods again and return to Kilika. Meet up with

chest along the side with '600 Gil,' and o- Luca (Item) ----------------oNorthwest of that is one with 'Tidal Spear.' in the next area to the Northeast opposite Potion................50 Gil the ramp up to the ship is a chest Phoenix Down.........100 Gil containing two 'Phoenix Down.' Keep moving Antidote..............50 Gil along to reach the docking port three screen East of this one. There's all sorts of o- Luca (Weapon) --------------oboxes piled around and no visible treasure chests, however if you look at your minimap Warrior's Sword......150 Gil you will see there is a secret thin path Enchanted Rod........150 Gil from the Northeast corner. This leads to Power Ball...........150 Gil two hidden chests containing 'Magic Sphere' Magical Mog..........150 Gil

and 'HP Sphere.' Follow the path around and Halberd..............225 Gil you'll find yourself back where you Metal Shield.........250 Gil started. Save and head South. Metal Ring...........250 Gil

Metal Armguard.......250 Gil Now make your way East for a quick scene, Metal Bangle.........250 Gil then talk to the woman on the right to pick Metal Armlet.........250 Gil up some new weapons and items. Down the red carpet to the North is the bar, go inside o------------------------------oand watch the event. Once everything haswrapped up make your way West back to the docks. Save your game and take theWest path to reach dock 4. Soon enough you'll encounter a battle against somenormal Machina enemies. Have Lulu cast her Thunder spell whenever she getsher turns, it's far more effective than your normal attacks. Keep following

the path around to the next dock, and then the one after that. You have tofight three of the same Machina battles in a row here, just use Lulu to makethem a cakewalk then watch the scene. Save your game and head East.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Oblitzerator ---------------o-------------- There are two ways to beat this boss, the HP: 6000 AP: 36 easy way and the hard way. The hard way ---------------+-------------- is to fight and fight until eventually you MP: 10 Gil: 580 deal the necessary 6000 damage and kill it ---------------o--------------o which is a perfectly feasible method though a much much easier one is available. You will notice that at the beginning of the battle a special Trigger Command is available to Tidus. If you use it he tries to operate the nearby crane but Lulu says it must be out of power. Fortunately being a Black Mage she has the ability to create power out of thin air, more specifically with her Thunder spell. When you cast this spell on the crane, not the boss, it kind of shakes a little and seems to react. With three casts of the spell the crane is in full operation again. Have Tidus select his crane Trigger Command and when you use it, the crane will lift the boss up and break it in half, dealing 5500 damage, possibly a bit less if you have already attacked. From there it should only take a single Thnder spell to put an end to the boss. During the battle when the boss is attacking you, have Kimahri just attack normally and Tidus act support when he isn't using the crane, healing the party, using Cheer and casting Haste on Lulu.

o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o


16/77

After the scene return to the locker room. Talk to Wakka to begin the game.The odds are stacked rediculously against you, and it's extremely hard to win.If you have Tidus' Jecht Shot on him then it's possible to take the victorybut considering what happens after the game it really doesn't make muchdifference. Finish the Blitzball and wand witness the following events.

You'll be thrown automatically into an underwater battle against some normal

enemies. Just fight you way through with normal attacks. Using Tidus to castHaste will speed things up a bit. By the time this is over you will havekilled about twenty-five of them. Following this you'll get to fight a battlewith Auron. His sword is powerful enough to piece the enemy's strong armourplating, so there's no special considerations you need to worry about. Whatyou do need to worry about however is the next fight, the large bird doesn'thave too much HP but it counterattacks every single time it is hit, and thatdoesn't slow its normal attack which hits all your characters. Take it outquickly and watch the scene. You can save your game afterward.

After the long scene follow Auron all the way back to the central area oftown. On your way there go North at the T junction to reach the Sphere

Theater. You can find the 'Al Bhed Primer, Vol VII' on the floor in the mainlobby area. In town, ascend the Northeast stairs where the red directionalmarker leads you, there's a scene at the top. When it's over before speakingto Yuna, run to the right and open the chest to receive '1000 Gil.' Now speakwith Yuna. You're finally ready to proceed to your next destination.

17/77

Boss: Ifrit ---------------o-------------- Belgemine summons Ifrit so that makes HP: 3500 AP: 0 Valefor your only option. Hopefully you've ---------------+-------------- levelled up Yuna at least a bit before this MP: 200 Gil: 0 fight. One good idea is to get Valefor ---------------o--------------o to Overdrive status before the fight so that you can use Energy Ray right off,

which is an extremely powerful attack. Alternate between using the Blizzard magic and Shield. Use Shield on the second turn when Ifrit casts Meteor Strike which he will do every other turn. When you get to Overdrive status let loose an Energy Ray for over 1000 damage. Combined with the Blizzard magic and a possible Overdrive from the start, you should be able to take Ifrit out before he manages to eliminate Valefor. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

For winning the battle Belgemine gives o- Mi'ihen Highroad (Item) ----oyou an 'Echo Ring.' Go back to the main path and head North to the next area. Potion................50 Gil

Walk further and speak to the two Power Ball...........150 Gil men in the small area to the right. Further Magical Mog..........150 Gil

still is another woman in green to speak Halberd..............225 Gil with. Go North, open the chest containing Shimmering Blade.....225 Gil three 'Eye Drop' and then proceed Northwest Pearl Shield.........250 Gil into the next area. Approach the building. Pearl Ring...........250 Gil

Save your game and leave, when o------------------------------oyou do a scene occurs. Save again in themorning then take a couple steps. Some guy will interrupt and give you a'Lv.1 Key Sphere.' Ket Spheres are special spheres you use on the Sphere Grid.You may have noticed that along the way you find some sphere icons with a Lv.1or Lv.2 symbol on them. You can't get past these, but if you open them withthe appropriate level Key Sphere, you can. Trey and leave the travel agencyto meet Rin, the owner of all these agencies. He gives you the 'Al BhedPrimer Vol, VIII.' Before you leave he will also give you two 'Mega-Potion.'Exit the agency and walk a few steps up to trigger a boss fight.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Chocobo Eater ---------------o-------------- There are two ways to fight this battle and HP: 10,000 AP: 90 each one has its own potential advantage. ---------------+-------------- Fortunately the one with the slightly

MP: 5 Gil: 970 better reward is also the easier method. ---------------o--------------o This boss can be killed in two ways, by either depleting its HP or by knocking it


18/77

over the edge. If you deplete its HP you get the experience and money, if you knock it over the edge you get two Lv.1 Key Spheres. Considering how common those are the experience reward is probably a lot more useful. Star the battle by casting Haste on everyone in a priority order of Lulu, the Auron then Tidus, or something approximately like that depending on who you are using. Lulu should use Focus and then cast Fire every single turn as it is the boss' weakness, she will be the major damage dealer in

this fight. The boss uses its huge arms to knock your party dangerously close to the edge, but as you damage the boss you can knock in on its back and keep hitting until as it slides in the direction of the other cliff. It's pretty much a battle of attrition but what's likely going to happen is an equal amount of push from both sides resulting in the boss just eventually running out of HP. If you really want the spheres, you can try the other method of knocking the boss off the cliff. Hit hard and fast. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Return to the travel agency and save your game. Speak to the person standingjust outside the door to get a Chocobo to ride. If you really want to level

up as you go you actually have the options of making the trek on foot.Whateveryou choose head North toward the red destination marker. In this screenthere's not much to do but run down the path to the next area. In the nextarea just beyond the bridge you will see a somewhat hard-to-see yellow objecton the left side of the path, this is a Chocobo feather. Examine it whileriding the Chocobo and it will jump across to the other side and open thechest containing 'Heat Lance.' Back on the path just past the feather the 'AlBhed Primer Vol, IX' sits on the ground. In the next area kick open the cheston your left to receive two 'Hi-Potion.' You'll notice this area has twoexits to the South, the one you came from and one leadings Southeast. Takethe Southeast exit while still riding the Chocobo.

To the South a bit you'll find another yellow Chocobo feather on the left side

of the path. Examine it and jump up to get the 'Thunder Blade.' On your waydown you also receive 'Scout.' Proceed South to the next area. There's along path going South here too, keep an eye on your minimap as you go along,when you come to a Y shaped fork which is visible on the map, but not on thescreen, go Northeast and examine the feather. Kicking open the chest revealsa 'Fortune Sphere.' Further South on the path you'll find O'aka and you canlend him some Gil, then at the very bottom is a chest containing 'MarsCrest.' Return back to the Crusader's checkpoint. Dona is standing here onthe right side, approach her for a quick scene. If you go any further you'llautomatically dismount the Chocobo. Head North and watch the quick scene.Speak to the guy on the left and you can donate money to their operation,10,000 Gil donation will get you a Moon Ring while 1000 Gil gets you an IceLance. If you try and go North you can get the guy to explain OperationMi'ihen to you. Since you can't get through try heading South and you'll beinterrupted by someone familiar.

Speak to the man right in front of you at the top and he'll give you an 'X-Potion.' Start running Northeast but keep an eye on your minimap, you'll seea path leading to the West. Take it and descend on the platform. There's achest here containing 'Serene Armlet.' Return to the top and continue North.Look at your minimap again, this time you'll see a thin path leading Southwestin the shape of a very curvy fishing hook. At the end of this path somewhatcamouflaged on the ground is the 'Al Bhed Primer Vol, X.' Now you can go backand ride the North panel to the next area. At the top you will find a savepoint, be sure to use it. Speak to the soldier to get a 'Mega-Potion' thenhead South and listen to the conversation. Ride the elevator up.

Start South and a scene will occur. Make your way Northeast toward thecommand center and another scene. East of here you will find another save

point. O'aka is nearby if you want to get some last minute items. Speak toGatta on your left and then head further into the area. After the talkingwith everyone but before telling the guard you are ready, open the chest atthe upper right, near Auron for a 'Mega-Potion.' Another is hidden behind thenearby spear rack, it has 'Serene Bracer' inside. Save your game then talk tothe soldier at the lower right corner and tell him you're ready.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Sinspawn Gui ---------------o-------------- By this point Lulu should definitely have HP: 12,000 AP: 400 the Fira spell, it will come in extremely ---------------+-------------- handy during this battle. There are four MP: 30 Gil: 600 parts to this boss, the arms, the body and ---------------o--------------o the head. The arms have 800 HP each, and the head has 4000 HP. There are numerous ways to take care of the arms. Lulu's Fire works well, even better is Auron's Dragon Fang Overdrive. You can't premanently destroy the arms, they automatically respawn after a certain amount of time. While they are gone take advantage of this opportunity to attack the head and body. The head will start doing something, moving suspiciously. During this time Lulu suggests she should cast magic on it. Listen to her and cast magic on the head to stop it from charging it's powerful attack. Have Auron use Power Break on the body to significantly reduce the amount of damage the boss deals. Tidus should act as a support character, using items, using Haste and using Cheer.

20/77

When the fight is over a big impressive cutscene occurs, and then...

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Sinspawn Gui ---------------o-------------- This boss is quite a bit easier for a HP: 6000 AP: 400 number of reasons, first of all you've got ---------------+-------------- Maester Seymour in you party who is set

MP: 30 Gil: 600 up with some powerful magic. Have him cast ---------------o--------------o Fira on the head to kill it in one hit, then have him take out the arms along with Auron's help. Yuna should just stick to healing, don't bother summoning at all here. The boss' total health is only half of what it was in the last battle so it really is set up for you to win. This is the only point in the entire game where you can see Seymmour's Overdrive, perhaps you may want to charge that up as something to do during the battle. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Now watch the scene. Around the middle of the North area you'll find someone

to talk to. Who lives and who dies may be different at this point. There'sanother lengthy scene now. Use the save point on your left and talk toeverybody. Head West and listen to what people have to say. Further West isa chest containing 'Hi-Potion.' Go and talk to Auron. Up the Northeast pathyou'll find Shelinda, she heals your party for free. Further Northeast gatherall your members and start up the road. Start walking North and speak to thefirst man you see walking as well. He'll give you the 'Soft Ring.' He givesyou this because there is a certain enemy here called the Basilisk who caninflict the Petrify status on your party. If you get into a battle with theseenemies be sure to switch Kimahri into your party and use the Lancet abilityon them. Kimahri will learn Stone Breath. Further up the path there is a mandoing the prayer on your right, speak to him to receive 'Variable Steel.' Onyour left is a chest containing two 'Phoenix Down.' There is also a robed man

walking around this area who gives you a 'Hi-Potion' when you speak to him.

On the right side of path, near the chest hidden behind the rock pillar is the'Al Bhed Primer Vol, XI.' Keep an eye on your minimap as you run North,you'll see a little indentation in the wall on your left. Inside that is ahidden chest containing 'Bright Bangle.' Just beyond this there's a manstanding around in a brown hood who gives you an 'Ether.' If there people arein different positions don't blame me, it may vary as they are walking arounda lot. Just talk to everyone you see. Beyond this is another soldier whotalks to you and gives you a 'Mega-Potion.' Watch the scene when you get tothe fork.

station and watch another scene.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Ixion ---------------o-------------- Start the battle with a Grand Summon HP: 6500 AP: 0 Overdrive if you have it. This battle is ---------------+-------------- best fought with Ifrit. Ixion is fast and MP: 450 Gil: 0 will cast Haste part way through. With ---------------o--------------o Haste in effect Ixion gets a number of turns in a row which can really hurt you a lot. A special trick to know for this battle is to realize that Ifrit actually has a heal spell, since Fire is Ifrit's element, you can cast it on him to heal him. Use this to your advantage while you build up your Overdrive meter in preparation for Hellfire. In the even that Ifrit is killed in the battle you are still allowed to summon Valefor to finish. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

There's a chest right in front of you o- Moonflow (Item) ------------ocontaining two 'Phoenix Down.' Head West and speak to Auron, then continue West past Potion...............100 Gil

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Extractor ---------------o-------------- The only two characters you have for this HP: 4000 AP: 660 battle are Tidus and Wakka which makes it

---------------+-------------- rather difficult. Fortunately the boss' MP: 10 Gil: 2240 attacks are weak to compensate for this. ---------------o--------------o Have Tidus cast Haste on himself and Wakka at the beginning of the battle then start using normal attacks. The boss' normal attack Aqua Shooter is very weak and will really require no healing at all. Its only other attack is stronger where it raises up and prepares to let loose some depth charges. It is possible to prevent this attack however by dealing a good amount of damage to the boss and forcing it to come back down. It has an elemental weakness like most Machina to Lightning, so if you have any weapons with Lightningstrike that's a good idea, also if Wakka gets his Overdrive try to aim for the Lightning Reels. It should go down quickly.

Watch the scene after the battle then save your game when you dock. Head Westand you'll find O'aka standing around, you can purchase some things from himif you need to.

o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o Boss: Spherimorph ---------------o-------------- This is definetely one of the easiest boss HP: 12,000 AP: 3420 fights in the game assuming you know how to ---------------+-------------- fight it. The boss has no elemental MP: 100 Gil: 4000 weakness but rather varying weaknesses, ---------------o--------------o meaning that it changes at certain points during the battle. The boss always changes its elemental weakness when it is hit with an element that it is weak to.

To determine which element the boss is weak to is very simple, all you have to do is perform a physical attack and the boss will always counter with a weak magic spell of the element it's currently immune to. So you


26/77

just have to attack with the opposite. Say you attack and the boss casts Water. This means that the boss' element is Water and you need to cast Thunder. Better yet the boss only has this along with a weak physical attack and both of them can be weakened further with Auron's Power Break and Magic Break. Have Tidus cast Haste on both Lulu and Auron, they can take care fo the battle by themselves. Tidus may as well just defend.
