-WALKTHROUGH-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.::STORY LEVEL 1::.
Mission 1
---------
After the first CG scene, there will be a battle between Paine and Rikku
against Yuna. Defeat her and she'll run away from the stage. Now, you'll be
in control of Rikku. Chase after Yuna. You'll notice that Paine will be chasing
her as well. Few soldiers will be in your path. Take them down. An easy job
if you're a FF player. Remember to take a left turn at a junction to the
harbour to meet with a moogle. It'll heal your HP. After a few rounds of
battle, another scene will take place. The REAL Yuna will be introduced. A
plump guy (Uno) and a tall guy (Sano) will battle with you. Defeat them with
ease. Now who's the FAKE Yuna? The FAKE Yuna is actually a sphere hunter's
group leader known as Le Blanc. She reveals herself and another battle will
occur. Defeat her and you have completed your first mission.
Mission 2
---------
By this time, you are back on board of Celcius. Talk to everyone on your plane.
Do not FORGET about the guy at the resting area in your airship. Take the lift
to the resting section and talk to him. After talking, emergency lights will
go on. Head back to the cockpit. Click on the mission link and off you go for
your second mission. you'll be dropped off from Celcius on top of a big shiny
ruin. A scene will occur. After that, just follow the trail and go down the
stairs. See the shiny blue switch on the wall? Activate it and you'll fall to
the lower ground. Make your way down the cliff and climb up again on the cliff
situated at the right corner of the screen. Proceed to the open area. What a
surprise? The Le Blanc group is here again. After the talking scene with them,
Boss fight!
-|Bosses ~ Le Blanc, Uno & Sano|- Level 3
Le Blanc's HP: 120
MP: 320
Uno's HP: 130
MP: 10
Sano's HP: 100
MP: 25
This is an easy battle. Just finish off Uno, followed by Sano and lastly, Le
Blanc. Remember to cast blind unto them using the Singer/Dancer dress if you
want to avoid their physical attacks. Keep attacking and healing at the same
time. They can't do much harm to you.
After the battle, a time limit of 6:00 mins have been set for you to get them.
Now, head straight to grab a treasure chest, then turn back, do not ascend the
pillar as there is nothing up there. Notice that there's a platform to get over
to the other tower. By pressing the action button, jump over to the other side.
Head to the entrance. Sano will appear with a group of soldiers. Defeat them.
Now go into the tower. Look at the map, there'll be a left and right junction.
Activate both the switches. This will lower the platform for you to climb on.
Go back to the straight route and run after them. You should be in the open
area now after exiting the tower. Go around the tower. Go on top of the fallen
pillar and jump across to the other section. Climb up the tower and you'll
notice a save point. If you reach the Le Blancs on time, you'll see them
clinging on to a cliff. Grab the item in the treasure chest and head up.
Another scene will occur. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Bory Spider|- Level 4
HP: 804 (Oversoul)
MP: 0
Depending whether the spider is oversouled or not. If not, it's quite easy to
beat. Just keep on healing with potions and maintain a good timing of attack.
If it's oversouled, it'll release static web that causes your party to stop
moving. Don't worry, it'll wear off in time. Just follow the strategy above to
beat him with ease.
Once you're back on the ship, you'll see Aniki lying down on the floor. After
the scene, talk to Shinra and he will give you the Black Mage Dress Sphere.
Immediately after that, Celcius alarm signal goes off! Time for some missions!
Side Missions
-------------
<Getting Paine's Special Dress>
Go to Macalania Forest and head to the place where you first obtained your
first Jecht Sphere in FFX. It's the place where Auron cut through the forest.
Upon reaching there, talk to Tromell Guado in the middle of the lake for 3
times. You'll then get the Paine's special dress sphere. You can get this
Special Dress by completing the "Where's My Musician" in Macalania forest too
if you have missed it here.
<Obtaining Akagi Sphere no.9>
Now, head to the Mushroom Rock Road. There's a group of soldiers standing
together. Talk to the leader and a mission will start. Talk to Clasko who is
standing behind them. Then head on to the next scene. You'll see Sano and Ano
running towards something. Follow them and you'll get a sphere. Now return to
the main path and take the elevator up. You'll have a conversation with Irma.
Mission completed.
<A Long Chat With Maechen>
After the conversation with Irma, head to Nooj's base camp and talk to Ruchiru
at the entrance to the base. As you are leaving the base, Maechen will appear.
Let him walk towards a corner, next to Ruchiru and he will sit there. Talk to
him by choosing the second option. From there onwards, he will talk for a very
long time, regarding Spira. This event contributes 1% to your story completion.
*Note* [This event is only available when you play the game a 2nd time]
<Getting Magic Gunner Dress Sphere>
Also known as Dark Gunner dress. Go to Moonflow. Head to the right side of the
save point and you'll see a short red guy, Toberi, walking around. Talk to him
and he will ask for your help to escort a peddlar back to him. After talking
to him, head down south of Moonflow. The peddlar will be on the right side of
the road. Talk to the peddlar and agree that you'll accompany him along his
journey. Mission starts. Defend the peddlar's luggage from bandits. Make sure
there are luggages left when you reach the end of the road. As a reward, you'll
receive the sphere. Mission completed.
*Note* If possible, do not lose any of your luggages during the mission as this
is important in getting an Episode Complete in Moonflow later.
*Note* If you want to do this mission in Story Level 1, you won't be able do
get an accessory dealing 9999 damage when your HP is yellow during Story Level
2. It's your choice. You can get this dress later in the game by helping a guy
to sell tickets. On the other hand, getting this accessory will not give you
an Episode Complete in Moonflow as well as getting the Mascot Dress Sphere.
It's your choice too. ^^
<O'Aka On The Run>

the forest and you'll see some Al-Bheds attacking a house which belongs to
O'Aka. You'll then see O'Aka running away from them. Mission starts. Chase
O'Aka. Take the shortest route back to the front of Macalania forest. Follow
him to the next scene. In the next section, there's 4 routes, take the north
one. You'll see a person standing there. but where's O'Aka? He's hiding on top
of a tree on the left screen. Move Yuna to the left side and you'll see him
there. Choose the first option. O'Aka will now be on your airship. Mission
completed.
<Moogle Yuna in Luca>
A scene will occur and you start with Yuna in a moogle suit. Now go down the
stairs. A man in uniform approaches you. A conversation takes place. After
that, you got to look for the man who spoke to you. He's right beside a stall
where there's a woman standing near it. It's quite hard to spot him because
he is squatting down. Talk to him and you'll be asked to pass out balloons to
10 people. 8 people are in the square and 2 are in a hidden room below the
big blue monitor screen up north. Do this and the story will go on. Mission
completed. You'll get a Result Plate for completing the mission.
<Treasure Hunt>
First, head on back to Djose Temple. Line up in the queue to enter the tent
just outside the temple. Talk to the guy at the counter and choose the first
and second option. You'll be allowed to enter the temple after that. You'll
now meet another new character. His name is Gabriel. Talk to him. After that,
go outside the temple and head on south. Gabriel will be there talking to
another guy. Talk to him again and choose the first option. He'll give you
a pass. As a result, another active link will appear on the map. After the
conversation, you'll be back on Celcius. Go to Sanubia Desert. There'll be a
guy talking to Paine and Rikku at the right side. Approach them. After the
conversation, talk to the guy in front of the machina vehicle and choose the
first option. Then talk to two other guys who are chatting with each other
beside a machina vehicle. A lady will then appear. Talk to her. Mission starts.
Talk to the guy in front of the machina vehicle and choose the first option.
You'll be brought into the desert. All you got to do now is to find the yellow
cross on the map and dig the treasure out. After getting it, return to the
vehicle and back to the base. Mission completed. You'll be rewarded with a
Result Plate.
*Note* There will be a treasure chest here which you will not be able to open
it until Story Level 5. Therefore, in SL 5, go and meet Clasko at Nagi Plains
and send your chocobos to the desert island. Then go dig at the Central Desert
until you find the Desert Key. The chest contains a Result Plate that allows
you steal money while attacking the enemies.
<PR Mission>
This mission takes a long time to complete. Firstly, head on to Calm Lands and
talk to anyone of the 2 people beside the machina vehicle. Choose the option
with the word "PR", choose the first option and you'll then activate the
mission. The sole purpose of this mission is travel around Spira and ask the
opinions of the people. By pressing the square button when you talk to a
person, it'll open up a menu. Choose the 1st option. It will then open another
menu with 5 options. You've got to guess which question suites the people
most. The correct answer will be given more PR points. Not all people have
this PR option. Collect a total of 400 PR points. Mission completed.
<Who's My Bride?>
After initiating the PR mission, head to the travel agency in the middle of
Calm Lands. Talk to the guy near the save point, at the right counter. Choose
the first option to accept the offer to help him to look for a bride for the
man who's seen squatting down behind him. This side mission is resembles the
PR mission stated above. You have to go around Spira and ask the people's
opinions, especially the ladies, whether they are interested in that particular
man. By using the square button, another option will appear. Note that the
first option is for the PR mission, the 2nd option is for the marriage mission.

a white mage to clear off the status if you have the Dispel ability. Take out

Kinoko Canyon when you were asked to decide between this two.]
<Where's My Lover?>
Head to Zanarkand Ruins. Go straight into the ruins until you see Isaru
standing right at the entrace before the Chamber Of Fayth. Talk to him and
you'll initiate a mini-game. You are required to pair up those cute little
creatures, found mostly in all sections of the ruins. You've got to look for
one creature with a love symbol and pair it up with it's partner. Here are the

Sect. 3 - Elevator section.
Sect. 4 - The place you had conversation with Cid.
Sect. 5 - Area with a lot of treasure chests.

<Obtaining Akagi Sphere no.7>
Proceed to Mushroom Rock Road and enter Kinoko Canyon. Head to the place where
you first obtained your first Akagi Sphere (no.9). You'll see Nooj there in
front of the secret dungeon. He'll give you an Agaki sphere after you've talk
to him.
Now we are ready to continue on with the mission that we had left aside at the
beginning!
Mission 6 (Active Link - Guadosalam)
------------------------------------
Head to the Guadosalam Mansion and talk to two of the guards there. You'll
notice that they won't let you in. In order to get it, you have to get three
uniforms as disguise. You have to complete 3 side missions in order to get
them all.
Side Missions
-------------
<**0000 GIL Richer>
Head to the underground room in Guadosalam located near the save point. Talk
to the guy at the counter and choose the second option. You are required to
look for another guy described by him. By paying him 10000 GIL, he'll let you
have the job. The guy he mentioned is doing an undercover. You have to look for
him and he will reward you with *0000 GIL. Therefore, you'll be *0000 GIL
richer within a few minutes. All you have to do is to approach a a guy who you
think is the undercover. You'll have 3 chances, each chance you used will
deduct 10000 GIL from your maximum amount of reward. by pressing the square
button, find that guy. In every new game (I don't mean the minigame, I mean
starting FFX-2 all over again), the undercover guy will change. Therefore,
it's advisable that you save first before you go and look for him or her. If
you lose, you'll lose 100000 GIL. Locate the right person and get your reward.
*Note* I've put it as **0000 GIL because the reward changes each time you start
a new game.
<A Hot Bath In Mount Gagazet>
Go to Mount Gagazet and talk to Kimahri. Choose the first option. Then talk to
Kimahri again. Choose the first option again. After the conversation, go to the
teleporter behind Kimahri, choose the first option and you'll be transported
to the top of the mountain. Go up the hill and head on straight. A scene will
occur when you reach the cliffs. You'll see that there'll be a female soldier
climbing the mountains. There are 2 choices that you can make here.
1st Choice - Follow her. Climb up the cliff and enter the cave at the top.
Exit the cave and you'll see another scene of that female soldier
running pass the save point. Follow her again. Another scene will
occur showing two ladies bathing in the hot spring. Uno (plump
guy) will appear. Boss fight! Defeat him as well as the two other
soldiers to get your uniform. Mission completed.
2nd Choice - Follow her. Climb up the cliff and enter the cave at the top.
Exit the cave and you'll see another scene of that female soldier
running pass the save point. Do not follow her. Instead, keep on
climbing up the cliff to the top right side of the mountain.
Enter the gaps between the mountain. There will be a scene
between Uno and 2 female soldiers. Yuna and the gang will
suddenly fall into the hotspring causing Uno and the soldiers to
run away. You'll get the uniform left by them. Enjoy the rest of
the scene. Rikku seems to be comparing her breasts' size with
Yuna's and Paine's. You'll get what I mean when you watch it. It's
a very funny scene. ^^ After the scene, descend the mountain. On
the way down, you'll be ambushed by 2 female soldiers. After
defeating them, Boss fight! Mission completed.
-|Boss ~ Uno|- Level 16
HP: 1350
MP: 22
Basically it is quite simple to defeat Uno. Just attack him with normal attacks
and heal with potions when neccessary. You'll do just fine. If you want to
avoid his attacks, just cast blind on him by using the Singer/Dancer job.
<Obtaining Yuna's Special Dress>
Go to Djose Temple. Exit the temple and travel down south to Mushroom Rock
Road. You'll see a talking scene between two female soldiers. After that,
follow them. As you walk along Mushroom Rock Road, you'll notice a shiny
sphere lying on the ground below the arch. That's Yuna's Special Dress.
After getting it, Uno will appear again, together with Sano (tall guy). Boss
fight! As usual, defeat them and you'll get the 2nd uniform. Mission completed.
-|Bosses ~ Uno & Sano|- Level 17
Uno's HP: 1150
MP: 22
Sano's HP: 1030
MP: 48
Try and bring down Uno first. His attacks are more damaging than Sano's. As
usual, cast the blind spell unto them. All their normal attacks will be useless
against you. Keep your HP levels high by using potions. Finish Sano at the end.
<Obtaining Rikku's Special Dress>
First, head on back to Djose Temple. Line up in the queue to enter the tent
just outside the temple. Talk to the guy at the counter and choose the first
and second option. You'll be allowed to enter the temple after that. You'll
now meet another new character. His name is Gabriel. Talk to him. After that,
go outside the temple and head on south. Gabriel will be there talking to
another guy. Talk to him again and choose the first option. He'll give you
a pass. As a result, another active link will appear on the map.
*Note* If you have done the <Treasure Hunt> side mission in Story Level 1, you
can skip the steps above.
After the conversation, you'll be back on Celcius. Go to Sanubia Desert. Talk
to the lady near the machina vehicle and choose the 2nd option. Then talk to
the guy beside the lady. Talk again to the guy to initiate an option. Choose
the first option. You'll be brought to an oasis where you'll get Rikku's Dress
Sphere. Bad thing is, Sano will appear. Or is it a good thing? Defeat him and
you'll get your last uniform. Mission completed.
-|Boss ~ Sano|- Level 17
HP: 1220
MP: 46
Take out the 2 female soldiers first. They can be a nuisance at times. Sano is
a bit weak in his offense. So take him out with ease. Just remember to
constantly heal your characters. He won't be able to do much harm unto you.
"Mission 6" Mission completed as well.
You'll be back in the airship and you'll notice that 3 of them will be dressed
in the soldier's uniform. What's next? Head to Guadosalam!
Mission 7 (Active Link - Guadosalam)
------------------------------------
Approach the guards at the door and a scene will occur. Choose the first option
and the girls will change into the uniforms you've got earlier. Mission starts.
Enter the mansion and you'll see another scene between Le Blanc and Nooj. After
that, Le Blanc will walk away. Don't follow her yet. Enter the room below the
stairs. You'll see Uno and Sano having a conversation. Now head back to the
living hall and up the stairs, into the room Le Blanc has entered. Approach her
and a mini game will start. And you're suppose to massage her?! Oh please... ^^
Now, here's how it works. There are 9 boxes given and you're suppose to guess
which area she wants you to massage on. Find the yellow love and keep pressing
it to gain more points! If you've found the red love, it'll reset the 9 boxes
and you've got to start from scratch again. Exceed the points given and a scene
will occur. Talking about a switch in the room where Uno and Sano had their
conversation. Go there now. Search the left side of the huge blue wall and
you'll open up a underground passage. Another scene will occur. Back in casual
outfits, head to where the red arrow points you to. But before that, Boss
fight!
-|Boss ~ Uno|- Level 19
HP: 1640
MP: 40
Use the normal strategy that has been stated for the earlier battles against
him. Take out the two guards first.
Defeat Uno and you'll be free to roam around. Enter the room near the save
point to get an accessory. Follow the red arrow.
<Obtaining Akagi Sphere no.10>
Enter the room and you'll see an Akagi Sphere no.10 on the table. Get it and
a scene starts. Boss fight!
-|Bosses ~ Uno & Sano|- Level 20
Uno's HP: 1344
MP: 45
Sano's HP: 989
MP: 70
This time, you may want to take out Sano first due to the low amount of HP he
has. Strategy used is same as above.
After that, head down a slope to a section which you've got to
climb walls. There are switches in between the walls. Activate all of them.
A booby trap has been set! Run for your lives! Just kidding, all you got to do
is go to the other end of the room and wait for it to come to you. A scene
will occur and you'll be brought into another room. Activate the switch and
another one at the far end. It'll open another path. Just follow the red arrow
from now. Boss fight! Mission completed.
-|Bosses ~ Le Blanc, Uno & Sano|- Level 21
Le Blanc's HP: 1380
MP: 460
Uno's HP: 1344
MP: 45
Sano's HP: 989
MP: 70
Special Dresses may prove useful here. You can use them if you like. Cast Blind
to avoid their physical attacks. Armor and Power Break can be used on Sano and
Uno but not Le Blanc because she is immune to it. Take out one of them as fast
as possible to stop them from using their Trio Attack, preferably Sano.
Mission 8 (Active Link - Bevelle)
---------------------------------
After the conversation, head on to Bevelle. Mission starts. Enter Bevelle
Temple. Head to the right pathway and activate the switch on the block. Now go
back to the main entrance and enter the left pathway. Activate the bottom
hologram, lowering down the lift. Back to the main hall and head straight.
Take the lift to the bottom level of Bevelle Temple. This place looks familiar
to you? Proceed right to get 2 treasure chests containing 3 remedies each.
After getting them, go down the pathway to the left side. Head down the slope
and get 3000 GIL. Now head up the other slope. Take the left route to get 6
High Medicines. Turn around and follow the red arrow. Take the lift to the
second level and turn right. Head on to the Chamber of Fayth. After that,
you'll be in another section. Go to the corridor to have a view over the area.
A scene will occur. Head to upper section of the screen and Yuna will slide
down a large chain. You'll see that there's a lot of towers around you. Go to
the first tower on your right and activate it. This will then release a
platform which is used later in the game. After activating the 1st tower,
skip the 2nd tower and activate the 3rd one. Followed by the 5th one. After the
3 towers have been activated, Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Spectral Keeper|- Level 22
HP: 3680
MP: 9999
Use Power Break, Mental Break and Armor Break on him. This will surely decrease
both his offense and defenses. Once in a while, he will cast Slowga unto your
party members. Use Dispel to clear off the status. Make use of the jobs that
has high attack points to finish him off quickly.
-|Boss ~ Geosgaeno|- Level 23 (Optional)
HP: 4420
MP: 9999
All Break abilities work well here. He's much weaker that Spectral Keeper but
he can still deal some powerful damage to your party members. Equip with
accessories that boost your magic defenses because he usually casts magic
spells. Blind is useful here too.
*Note* This boss will only appear if you have activated the other 3 towers.
<Getting The Ribbon Accessory 1>
You'll notice that after the boss fight, you still have 3 unactivated towers.
What do they do? They control three other platforms leading to another room
which you'll gain access to a treasure chest containing a Ribbon. An accessory
which protects you from all status ailments. My best advice to you is that
you line up the platforms in a spiral pattern which will lead you that room.
Now, proceed down the platforms you've activated and enter the room. Head on
straight until you reach a T-junction. Go right to get a treasure chest
containing a "Regenerate" Resuit Plate. Head back to the T-junction and to the
left section. Climb onto the left block to activate the switch, and then the
right one. Proceed to the next area. In this section, you'll see a huge
contraption in the middle. You can control it by activating the switch at the
left bottom screen shaped like a star. Manipulate it to get two useful
accessories from there. Climb onto it once you've lowered the platform using
the switch. Head on to the next section.
<Getting Dark Knight Dress>
In front of you, you'll see 3 lifts. Take the left lift up. Then travel down
south and jump down back to where you originally were. Now take the middle
lift and to a place to activate a switch. Take the lift back and take the right
lift up now. Then take the left lift from the upper section back down to the
original area. Take the middle lift again, you'll be brought to another area
to activate another switch. Back to the main area, take the right lift up to
the upper level. Now activate the 2 blocks on the 2nd level to release a lift
at the far end corner. Take the lift down. You'll notice now that there's a
pathway leading to a treasure chest. It contains the Dark Knight Dress. Phew!
After all that hard work. ^^
Back to the main mission, after saving, head on straight and you'll meet
Baralai. Boss fight! He's one tough guy! Steal the "Encounter None" accessory
from him. After defeating him, you might want to save your game again first
because in the next section, Boss fight again! Mission completed.
-|Boss ~ Baralai|- Level 25
HP: 3380
MP: 540
For a guy like him, he's pretty powerful. Be careful of his attacks as they can
deal heavy damages unto your characters. Make sure your HP levels are always
high as he can wipe off your entire party with one swing. He has no elemental
weaknesses, therefore don't use Black Mage here. You may want to cast Blind on
him if you think his physical attacks are too strong. Constant healing is the
key to success.
Head on to the next section after you've beaten Baralai. Another Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Dark Bahamut|- Level 26
HP: 8400
MP: 9999
Break abilites works well on him. Try to defeat it before it launches its
Overdrive which can damage your characters pretty bad. Casting Shell and
Protect unto your party members is a good way to decrease his physical and
magical attacks. It's good to have an Item Shooter in your group as she can
mix items. Mixing a L-Grenade with another L-Grenade can cause some heavy
damage unto him. Remember to keep healing all the way.
.::END OF STORY LEVEL 2::.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.::STORY LEVEL 3::.
Now you'll be back on board of Celcius. After the SOS briefing by Aniki, you
have to complete this Active Link first before starting the side missions.
Mission [Optional] (Mushroom Rock Road - Active Link)
-----------------------------------------------------
This mission appears as soon as you enter the world map screen. I state it as
an optional mission because the Active Link disappears if you've selected
other missions first. In order to avoid that from happening, head on to
Mushroom Rock Road and approach the group of soldiers. A conversation between
Gatta and Yuna will occur. Ruchiru will come in later to join the conversation.
After the talk, head to Djose Temple and you'll see Gabriel at the entrace.
Talk to him to complete the event.
After completing the event above, we can now concentrate on the side missions.
Side Missions
-------------
<Machina Gone Insane>
It seems like the machinas found in Mihen Road have gone haywire. Your mission
is to destroy them before they hurt any citizens around the area. As soon as
you reach Mihen Road, you'll be given an option to choose whether you want to
help out or not. Choose the first option. Mission starts. Now how do you look
for them? Look at the map and search for green boxes. The green boxes show
where the machinas are. Wipe them out as soon as possible. As you can see that
there's a counter below the bottom right of your screen, make sure the number
of machinas you've destroyed is higher than the number of machinas destroyed
by the another Al Bhed group who's also involved in destroying them. As a
reward, you'll be given 10000 GIL and a Result Plate. Mission completed.
<Meeting With Maechen>
Head to Guadosalam and enter the mansion. Approach Uno and Sano, a conversation
will start. After that, go to Le Blanc's room on the upper floor and have a
chat with her. Then go back to where Uno and Sano are, talk to them again.
You'll notice now that the underground passage door is open. Head on to Sano's
room where you've obtained Agaki Sphere no.10 in the beginning. Sano will
appear and he'll give you two new spheres containing info about the mysterious
behaviour of Nooj. After getting the 2 spheres, search the room for another
sphere at one corner. Another scene will occur and Maechen appears. Approach
him and choose the first option. He will then explain what had happened 1000
years ago between Zanarkand and Bevelle together will all those strange
happenings. After the conversation, head back to the ship.
<What's With Paine?>
Head to Moonflow. Exit the save point area and meet with the short red guy.
You'll see that there's a band performing there. Talk to the red guy twice.
Paine that insists that you leave the area. This event contributes % to your
story completion.
<Getting Berserker Dress Sphere>
Proceed to Macalania forest. You'll end up near the shop in the snowy area,
surrounded by monsters. Seems like the area is being attacked by the beast.
Your mission, as usual, dispose them. Mission starts. Choose the first option
to begin. You'll engage in a few battles with the beasts, some of them are
quite powerful, if you can't take it, make sure you choose the 2nd option to
back out and reheal your characters before continuing. Finish them up and
you'll be awarded with a resuit plate. Then enter the shop, there's a man
lying on the ground half dead, he'll give you the Berserker Dress Sphere and
another sphere. O'Aka will be seen running in the shop if you've cleared his
debts earlier in the game. Exit the shop. O'Aka will run to you and have a
conversation with you. Mission completed.
<Save My People>
Go to Nagi Plains now. Or also known as Calm Lands. Approach the group of
people at the entrance to the Cave of The Stolen Fayth. An old lady will
appear before and ask for your help to save the people trapped in the cave.
Choose the first option and mission starts. Basically there are 15 people to
save in the cave. You can only escort 5 of them out at one time. The first
12 people are easy to locate. The 13th guy is hiding a corner that cannot be
seen with your eyes. Just simply press the O button around the corners and
you'll see him hiding there. The last two guys are hard to find, you've
got to activate the teleporter to take you to the two unaccessible area.
There's one guy on the left and the other on the right. To activate the portal
to go right and left, talk to a man outside the cave after saving the first 13
people. He will then give you an item to activate the portal which then allows
you to save the 14th and 15th guy. After saving them all, proceed to the
Chamber of Fayth and Boss fight! Mission completed.
-|Boss ~ Dark Yojimbo|- Level 28
HP: 22000
MP: 9999
First of all, equip all your party members with Anti-Poison accessories.
Secondly, make sure you have a good supply a Mega Potions which heal all
characters 2000 HP. When Yojimbo does his Zanmato attack that reduces your
party members' HP to 1, quickly use a Mega Potion to heal them as fast as
possible before his dog comes and knock you out. No abilites work on him,
therefore just concentrate on physical attack. Maintain the steps above and
you'll manage through.
<A Ronzo's Trial> / <Getting Animal Trainer Dress Sphere>
Go to Mount Gagazet and talk to Kimahri. After receiving the Animal Trainer
dress from him. Accept his challenge and climb up Mount Gagazet without using
the teleporter. As you enter the mountains, you'll see a trail of Ronzo's
going up the mountain. Just follow them until you reach the cliffs. Do not
climb the cliffs. Take the left pathway and head on straight. Enter the dungeon
and up the stairs until you reach a T-junction. Take the left route. Go
straight and ascend the elevated pavements. You'll meet Gariku on the way up.
Boss fight! Mission completed.
-|Boss ~ Gariku|- Level 27
HP: 6880
MP: 238
He's not guarded against Blind, Silence and Poison. Cast them on him if you
have the spells. Some may find it difficult beating him when he casts Mighty
Guard unto himself which gives him the Protect, Shell and Haste ability. The
easiest way to deal with this problem is to cast Dispel on him. As easy as
that. He will be very weak when he doesn't have all the status mentioned above.
Remember to clear off both his sidekicks first.
*Note* You've got to talk to Kimahri in Story Level 1 & 2 in order to get the
dress sphere at Story Level 3.
<The Coin Competition> / <Getting Gambler Dress Sphere>
Next, head to Luca Harbour. A scene will occur. After Rin (the guy in yellow)
finished talking to you, head up the stairs to the save point. Talk to girl
near the save point and activate the coin game. After beating her, head back
down to the area where Rin is standing. There'll be 2 kids jumping around that
area. Approach on of them and defeat them in the coin game. After that, another
guy will walk pass Rin, talk to him to initiate the coin game. And again,
defeat him and an event will occur. Remember to save each time you win a
game! You'll challenge Shinra at the end. If you lose to him, don't worry,
later in the game he can be found hanging around the blitzball locker rooms
area in Story Level 5. Challenge him again to win Gambler Dress Sphere.
*Note* You should defeat Shinra in Story Level 3 rather than Story Level 5
because his difficulty level is much higher in Story Level 5. Therefore, I
advise you to keep loading your game if you've lost to him until you win him.
<Quick Reaction>
This is a minigame found in Thunder Plains. Talk to the guy bending down near
a tower twice. Choose the first option to initiate the game event. Go to each
tower labled as green boxes on the map. By going to each one you'll activate
a game. Even if you don't know Japanese, it's easy to know what the game
instructions are. There are ten towers all together. After completing the 9th
tower, head to a lake in the North Area of Thunder Plains to the 10th tower,
which is not shown on the map. You won't be able to reach that tower, just
press the action button on the lake and the game will automatically start. The
tower is located across the lake. After beating all 10 towers, head to the
shop in Thunder Plains located between North and South area of Thunder Plains.
Speak to the guy near the counter and he will reward you with a Result Plate.
<Conversation With Isaru>
Head to Zanarkand and back to the area before entering the Chamber of Fayth.
Isaru will be seen standing in the middle of the path. Talk to him. This is an
important event in order to get an Episode Complete in Story Level 5 later.
Mission 9 (Besaid Island - Active Link)
---------------------------------------
As you enter the village, go to the 2nd hut on your right and talk to Lulu.
Exit the hut. Conversation with Shinra. After that, you'll see a scene
between Wakka and a guy in blue. His name is Bechrem. Right after the scene,
enter Besaid Temple and talk to Bechrem. Mission starts. Enter the Chamber of
Fayth. Proceed ahead until you see Wakka lying down on the floor due to
exhaustion. Probably he's getting old already. ^^' Talk to him and take the
elevator down. Boss fight! A scene will then occur. Mission completed.
-|Boss ~ Dark Valefor|- Level 26
HP: 8430
MP: 9999
Use Power Break on him to reduce his physical attacks. He has two Overdrives.
One is much more damaging than the other. Therefore it is advisable to use
Dark Knights here so counter it's physical attacks. Dark Knights usually have
a higher defensive point than the rest of the jobs. Keep healing your party
members to avoid being wipe off by him in a single strike.
Mission 10 (Kilika Island - Active Link)
----------------------------------------
Head to Dona's house to talk to her. This will then activate an event which
requires to you pass the guards in order to reach Kilika Temple. When Dona
tries to distract the guard, you look for the right time to rush through the
gates before getting spotted. Use the R1 button to change views and O button
to rush through. It's a bit hard. If you can't get through, just press the X
button to quit and choose the 1st option. You'll eventually pass the gate. Now
you are in Kilika Forest. Each route has been blocked by the guards. Approach
all 3 gates to initiate an event. Automatically Paine will lead you to jump
onto a tree to get to the other side. Head straight to Kilika Temple. Mission
starts. Proceed to the Chamber of Fayth. You'll meet Barthello on the way in.
In the temple, there'll be blue flames blocking your pathway. Approach them
to activate battles with monsters known as Varunas.
<Getting Samurai Dress Sphere>
After a battle with 2 Varunas, while you are on your way to the Chamber of
Fayth, you'll see a shiny sphere lying on the ground. Pick it up and you've
gained another dress to your collection.
Enter Chamber of Fayth. Boss fight! Mission completed.
-|Boss ~ Dark Ifirt|- Level 28
HP: 8820
MP: 9999
Before you enter battle, equip your party members with Fire Nullify Ring. This
will not only help you in avoiding his Fire attacks but heal your party
members too whenever he uses Fire magic. Break abilities work well on him too.
Have plenty of Mega Potions to heal your characters whenever he uses his
Overdrive against you. Keep steady throughout the battle and you'll do fine.
Side Missions
-------------
<Obtaining Akagi Sphere no.1>
Once you've completed Besaid and Kilika Island Active Links, fly to Bevelle.
You'll see an event once you've arrived. Head to the area where you've fought
Dark Bahamut in Story Level 2. On your way to the Chamber of Fayth, you'll see
Gabriel walking past the save point. Head on straight to Bahamut's resting
area. You will see another scene between Nooj, Gabriel and Baralai talking
about the existence of Vegnagun. After Baralai is possessed by Shuin's spirit,
he summons a Malboro to attack your group. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Malboro|- Level 28
HP: 5877
MP: 110
There should be no problem in defeating it. As it is not protected against
Blind and Break ablities, you can decide whether on using them or not. Just
keep hitting him with normal physical attacks and he'll be gone.
After the battle, you'll find that the Akagi Sphere is lying on the ground.
pick it up and your job is done here.
*Note* Get this sphere before heading on to Djose Temple. You won't be able to
get it later in the game.
Mission 11 (Djose Temple - Active Link)
---------------------------------------
Head on to Djose Temple. Another Aeon attack had occured. As usual, head to the
Chamber Of Fayth. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor. Located at the far end
are 5 pedestals. You need to choose the right one and push it in to deactivate
the electric barrier that prevents you from entering to the chamber. If you
pushed the wrong one, you'll end up in a battle. After deactivating it, head up
and Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Dark Ixion|- Level 29
HP: 12380
MP: 9999
Equip your party members with Thunder Nullify ring. This would ease the battle
a lot. Use Break abilites here as Ixion is not immune to it. This would
definately reduce his offensive power. Use the same strategies that you've
used in the past previous battles with other Dark Aeons and you'll find this
battle to be quite easy.
<Obtaining Akagi Spheres no.2 & no.3)
After Yuna has been knocked down into the underground world, you'll receive
them automatically from Nooj and Gabriel.

figure resembling someone very familiar. That figure will guide Yuna out of
the underworld. Mission completed.

you have to follow the timing of the song. The higher score you can get, the
better the accessory you'll get. If you manage to get a score higher than 150
points, you'll be rewarded with another Ribbon. An accessory that protects
you from all status effects. If you get higher than 200 points, you'll be able

standing at the entrance to the dragon's hideout can heal your HP back. As you
enter the lair, you'll come to a T-junction. Take the left route. Then make

-|Boss - Dark Shiva|- Level 45
HP: 14800
MP: 9999
Her attack rate is a lot faster than the rest of the Dark Aeons you've fought
in the past. Therefore it's advisable that you take her down as fast as
possible to avoid her further attacks. Use power break, mental break and armor
break against her to decrease her offense and defence capabilites. It'll help
a lot to have a white mage in your party to do constant healing while let the
other two to do the attacks. Keep your party members' HP levels high just in
case she sets off her Overdrive attack. Keep this up and she'll be defeated in
no time.
The save point will appear after you've defeated the Dark Shiva. You've got two
choices to make. You can either continue on going down the spiral route or head
back to the airship to do the side missions. Here are the side missions if
you're interested in completing them.
Side Missions
-------------
As you can see, as soon as you talk to Dachi, a huge number of Active Links
appear on the map. We'll start of with Besaid Island first.
*Note* Let me explain to you what's the difference between an "Episode End" and
"Episode Complete" first. When you get an "Episode Complete", that means that
you have completed all the necessary events in that particular area. If you
do not see a sign saying "Episode Complete", it means that you've not completed
all the events in that area. Therefore, you'll just get an "Episode End". All
the events include stories from Story Level 1 to Story Level 5.
<Besaid Island - Active Link>
Once you reach there, you'll see Wakka running towards you with much joy and
zeal. What do you think has happened? Of course, Lulu has finally given birth
to a baby boy. How sweet! ^^ . When Wakka leads you to Lulu, do not enter the
temple or talk to Lulu but talk to Wakka. Or else you'll find yourself
entering and exiting the temple wondering "why can't I talk to Lulu"? After
the conversation with the lovely couple, head on to Besaid Beach until you
reach the port. Talk to Bechrem standing in front of the port. He will hand
you a special sphere. After that, you'll see that Bechrem is a very skillful
Blitzball player. You'll know why when you watch the scene. Head back to the
village. On the way back, you'll see Wakka walking towards the monument. Talk
to Wakka and Yuna will hand the sphere over to him. In the sphere, you'll see
a scene between Wakka and Chappu. And yes, Chappu has a voice! After the scene,
make your way to the vilalge. Wakka will be celebrating his baby's birth.
After the celebration, Wakka and Lulu will have a lovely couple talk. Sugoi~
Episode Complete.
<Opening Besaid's Dungeon Passage>
Firstly, head to Besaid Temple. Enter the right room and open the treasure
chest found there. You will get a radar which enables you to search for hidden

small island located near to Kilika Village. In order to get to the other side,
you have to speak to the camera man on board of a large ship situated on the
right side of the village in the second section of Kilika village in Story
Level 1 and 3. In Story Level 5, when you speak to the camera man again, he
will give you an option. Choose the first option and a boatman will carry you

Luca. When you reach there, a scene will start and a magical moogle will
appear. Mission starts. Follow the moogle as it floats away. Yuna will then

Yuna and have a talk with her. Choose the first option and you'll end up in the
travel agency. Exit the shop nad you'll see Rin with a group of people. He will

be very surprised to see who the culprit is. ^^' After the funny scene, Episode
complete. You'll get a "Ragnarok" accessory which grants the ability to cast
magic without using MP.
*Note" The culprit changes depending on how you view the spheres. I won't let
you the characters that can be the culprit as it can be a spoiler later. ^^'
You won't be able to get the "Ragnarok" if you did not follow the sequence I've
stated earlier.
<Djose Temple - Active Link>
Head to the area leading to the Chamber Of Fayth. Speak to the guy standing
next to the giant machina. Choose the first option and mission starts. You'll
end up in a battle with the machina in the first place. The sole purpose of
your mission is to get the necessary parts for this guy to upgrade the machina
to Level 5. These parts can be found by through the treasure hunt at Sanubia
Desert. Gather all the parts needed. Just try to collect as many treasures as
you can from Sanubia Desert by digging at the yellow crosses. You can look at
how many types of parts you've collected by accessing a menu in the right
room of Djose Temple. Click on the pedestal which will open up a menu. Choose
the 3rd option.
Here are the minimum requirements needed for upgrading the machina to Level 5:
1st section - A ~ 3
S ~ 11
Z ~ 10
2nd section - A ~ 7
S ~ 10
Z ~ 10
3rd section - A ~ 5
S ~ 14
Z ~ 11
5Z + 3S + A > 38
For all three sections, if you know your Algebra well, you will know what the
formula given above means. ^^ Getting all the 3 parts above 38 points will be
sufficient enough to upgrade all the parts to Level 5.
*Note* The parts given above is the parts I've got for my game. Either you can
use them as a reference guide or by using the formula given above.
After you've beaten that machina, you've got to find a repair item for that
guy to fix it. There are several locations that you can get the repair tool.
Here are 3 of them:
1. Talk to the guy standing near the 5 pedestals in Djose Temple. He will ask
for a password. Enter the password Ma Ru Ne Ra (Katakana) to get a repair
tool from him. Look at the menu below to get the answer.

ka ki ku ke ko ma mi mu me mo
sa shi su se so ya yu yo

talk to the machina located behind 3 people near the entrance to Mihen Old
Road and you'll get the repair tool from it.

chests. For further information on this dungeon, look at the side mission
<Getting Rikku's Special Dress Upgrade Items>.
*Note* You can save your trouble from finding all the repair tools by upgrading
the machina straight from the start. Dig as much as you can from the beginning
so that you only need one repair tool to finish off this mission.
Make sure you get all the parts before asking the guy to repair it. Or else
you have to find more repair tools for him to upgrade the machina. After
getting all the parts. Head back up to where the Al Bhed guy is and speak to
him. Re-enter the section. A scene will occur. The machina has finally been
upgraded to Level 5. Choose the first option. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Ikusu's Experiment|- Level 45
HP: 18324
MP: 0
This machina Level 5 is much harder that the lower levels that you've fought
earlier. He can do quite some heavy damage unto your party. Do not use power
break or armor break because it is immune to it. Make sure you keep your
party HP levels high. The machina's multi-missile attack can lower your party's
HP in just seconds. If possible cast Protect on all your characters. This will
reduce the damage caused by him. Continue to heal your party members and give
him all you've got.
After you've defeated him. A scene will occur. Episode complete.
<It's Jazz Time>
Head out to Moonflow. Head to the area where the peddlars usually hang around.

situated on the left of the save point. Jump onto the wooden boxes to reach a
treasure chest containing the sphere on the upper rim of the room.
<Bevelle - Active Link>
Head to the entrace of the temple. Yuna will then have a conversation with
Maroda while a group of people gathers around Isaru. Then, Pacce's Kodomodan
group will run pass Yuna. After watching the whole event, you'll receive a
Result Plate from Maroda. Episode complete.
<Obtaining Akagi Sphere no.6 & no.8>
Head back to Bevelle Temple once again. Take the right route after you've
entered the temple. You'll see Pacce's Kodomodan group gathering around a blue
portal. After the conversation, take the portal down to Bevelle's 100th Level
Dungeon's first floor. An old man will speak with Yuna's group. After the
conversation, you'll see Akagi Sphere no.6 lying on the ground. Pick it up and
head on straight. Jump into the hole at the far end. Keep on proceeding down
the dungeon until you've reached the 20th floor. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Arachnea|- Level 40
HP: 18280
MP: 178
This boss is not affected by any status ailments. So, just concentrate on your
physical attacks. Equip your characters with accessories that boost offenses
to finish him quickly. He has not much of devastating attacks. Just keep
healing and hitting him. He's not much threat to you if your party members'
levels are high.
After defeating him, you'll see Akagi Sphere no.8 lying on the ground. Pick it
up. You should have 10 Akagi Spheres by now.
*Note* Look in <Bevelle 100 Levels Dungeon> for more information regarding this
particular dungeon.
<Mushroom Rock Road - Active Link> (If you chose the Youth Alliance)
Upon reaching there, you'll be greeted by Ruchiru, Irma and Gatta. After the
conversation, talk to Gatta and choose the first option. Mission starts.
Ruchiru hopes that you'll train up her soldiers. Therefore, the objective of
this mission is to defeat all the soldiers. After defeating all of them, Boss
fight! Mission completed.
-|Boss ~ Irma|- Level 35
HP: 4882
MP: 870
Knock out both the guards first. Irma likes casting supporting magic. So, be
sure to cast Dispel on her as soon as she uses that kind of magic. Break
abilities work well here. To avoid her attacks, which I don't think it's
necessary because her attacks are weak, cast Blind. Keep use physical attacks
and she'll be gone in no time.
-|Boss ~ Ruchiru|- Level 36
HP: 7324
MP: 370
Although Ruchiru is more powerful than Irma, this battle is going to be easier
than the latter one. This is because it's a 3 on 1 battle. Just use the same
strategy above to defeat her.
After the boss fights, another event will occur. Ruchiru will be giving out a
speech back at the base. After the event, episode complete. You can head back
to the base later to talk to Ruchiru. She'll hand you a sphere.
<Kinoko Canyon Secret Dungeon>
After collecting all the 10 Akagi spheres, go back to Mushroom Rock Road, to
the area where you received an Akagi sphere from Nooj in Story Level 2. Place
the 10 Akagi spheres onto the door and it'll open up a passage way through the
dungeon. Just follow the red arrow on the map. When you've reached the area,
a scene will occur. Followed by a FMV. After the scene, Boss fight! This is
going to be a continuous battle, therefore equip your characters properly
before starting.
-|Boss ~ Rikku|- Level 40
HP: 7800
MP: 92
Not guarded against blind, sleep and confusion. You can decide whether you
want to use them or not. Rikku's attack speed is faster than yours. Therefore,
she's capable of attacking you in a short period of time. You have to be quite
consistent here. I suggest that you use Fencer. The job has a fairly good
offense and defense. Besides, it's recovery time is much faster than Dark
Knight's. Hit her 2 to 3 times, then use a Hi Potion. Continue on like this
until she is defeated.
-|Boss ~ Paine|- Level 40
HP: 9200
MP: 92
She has the same stats as Rikku. Just use the same strategy stated above. One
thing that differs Paine from Rikku is that Paine is much slower in her
attacks.
-|Boss ~ Baralai|- Level 40
HP: 12220
MP: 720
This guy is really quick in his attacks. Break abilities work well on him. Try
to lower down his offensive power by using Power Break as soon as you start
battle with him. Keep using Mega Potion when necessary to keep your party
members' HP high because you will go straight into battle after finishing.
Going into a battle with a low amount of HP may cause you to be on the
disadvantage side. Try to finish him off when your characters' HP is high.
-|Boss ~ Gabriel|- Level 40
HP: 14800
MP: 235
His attacks are much slower than Baralai's. But that does not mean he's not
dangerous. His multi missile attack proves to be quite damaging when it hits
all your party members. Remember to maintain a high amount of HP, or else he
will wipe your entire party out in one strike. Statistically, he's same as
Baralai. No elemental weaknesses here too. Therefore don't bother about using
Black Mage here.
-|Boss ~ Nooj|- Level 40
HP: 23260
MP: 720
This is going to be one tough battle. He has on attack that could easily damage
a character up 1500+. It is advisable to have all your characters HP above
2000 or so. Just for safety sake. Level 40 is the minimum requirement for
defeating him, you can defeat him at lower levels too but it'll be a heavier
task for you. Make sure you have plenty of X-Potions and Phoenix Downs. A
couple of Mega Phoenixes and Mega Potions comes in handy too. Protect against
all status ailments, just focus on physical attacks. Although Break abilites
work on him, it does not really affect him due to his high physical defense.
Just keep healing, reviving and hitting him in a consistent manner.
Once you've defeated all of them, a scene will occur. A conversation starts
between Yuna, Rikku and Paine. Episode complete. You'll earn yourself some of
the most useful accessories in the game. One which grants 50+ to your offense
and another one which grants 50+ to your magic offense. There's another ring
which provides you 40+ in both offense and defense too. A Result Plate is
given to you as well.
<Viewing All The Akagi Spheres>
Back in the airship, talk to Shinra and choose the 3rd option. It will then
open up the sphere menu. View all the 10 Akagi spheres you've collected in the
past in an orderly manner, if you want to get a better understanding between
Nooj and his companions, Baralai and Gabriel. Some of the scenes are very
interesting to watch. View them all and you'll get 1% for your story level
completion.
<Thunder Plains - Active Link>
When you reach there, you'll see an Al Bhed guy crying for help. Mission
starts. You'll see that each tower is occupied by a fiend called Chimera.
Defeat all of them. You'll get some cool accessories along the way. After
beating the 9th one, a scene will occur. After the scene, just follow the red
arrow on the map. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Funbaba|- Level 60
HP: 27772
MP: 785
Protected against everything except the Break abilities. Just keep focusing
your physical attacks on him and keep healing your characters when they are
hurt. This guy is pretty easy if your characters' level are high. Make sure
you have a high amount of HP when you give him your last hit because he's going
to cast meteor on your characters once he's defeated. To avoid your party
members being killed, just be sure to have a considerable amount of HP. It's
good to cast Dispel on him to clear off his Protect status.
After the battle, a conversation starts between the Kamomedan group and the
Al Bhed guy. Choose the 2nd option first. Head to the travel agency to save.
Then return to the guy again to choose the first option. You'll be now in a
dungeon. Just follow the red arrow to look for Cid. A scene will occur. Boss
fight! Episode complete.
-|Boss ~ Bansua Machina|- Level 61
Bansua's HP: 30500
MP: 1247
'A' Recorder's HP: 1248
MP: 1024
'S' Recorder's HP: 1240
MP: 1024
'R' Recorder's HP: 1240
MP: 1024
Enter the battle with a Dark Knight in your party. Use Dark Wave to clear off
the 3 recorders in one hit since they have low amount of HP. Then concentrate
your physical attacks on Bansua. You can use Break abilities to lower down
his status. Remember not to use lightning magic on him because you will just
heal him, which you don't really want that to happen.
<Getting Yuna's Special Dress Upgrade Items>
In order to master Special Dresses, you have to get both the upgrade items for
"HP Limit Break" and "Damage Limit Break". For Yuna's Special Dress, head to
Besaid Island to get the "Damage Limit Break" item. Go to the area where the
waterfall is. Just before the brigde, at the corner, you can jump down to
another area where there's a treasure chest containing the item. Next, head to
the Cave Of The Stolen Fayth in Calm Lands. Use the transporter to get to the
area where you've fought Yojimbo earlier in the game. It's located in another
treasure chest found in the Chamber of Fayth. By getting these items, you'll
automatically upgrade your dresses.
<Getting Paine's Special Dress Upgrade Items>
To get the "Damage Limit Break" for Paine, head to Mihen High Road. Upon
reaching there, rent a chocobo from the lady for 200 GIL and ride it up to
the north section of Mihen High Road. After passing the two bridges overlooking
the area where you've fought the Chocobo Eater, you'll notice that there's a
chocobo feather lying on the ground near a grey monument on the left side of
the cliff. Position your chocobo on the feather, wait for a moment, an option
will appear. Choose the first option. The chocobo will fly up to another
section to get a treasure chest containing a random item. After getting the
item, the chocobo will fly down. You'll see that the chocobo feather is not
there anymore. Repeat the same procedure as above, stand at the area where
the chocobo feather initialy was, another option will appear. Choose the first
option again. This time, the chocobo will fly down to another section with a
treasure chest containing the "Damage Limit Break" item. For the "HP Limit
Break" item, head to Thunder Plains. Go to the north area of Thunder Plains
and talk to the Al Bhed guy to enter the secret dungeon, where you first
rescued Cid. Explore the dungeon for the item contained within a treasure
chest. For further information on how to get through the dungeon, look at the
<Thunder Plains Secret Dungeon> section.
<Getting Rikku's Special Dress Upgrade Items>
For Rikku's "Damage Limit Break" item, head to the lift in Mushroom Rock Road
which takes you to the base of the Youth Alliance Movement. Search the area
around the lift to find a treasure chest containing the item. To get the "HP
Limit Break" item, there's a few things you ought to do first. You have to
train a group of chocobos, preferably 3 to 4 of them. Send 3 Level 1 chocobos
to any places around Spira. Followed by 3 Level 2 chocobos and so on until
Level 5. In order for your chocobos to return, you must encounter 3 to 4
random battles. After sending Level 1,2,3,4 and 5 chocobos out to Spira, when
you return to the chocobo ranch, an event will occur, which opens up a passage
way leading to another secret dungeon located in Calm Lands. Explore the
dungeon to get Rikku's "HP Limit Break" item.
<Thunder Plains Secret Dungeon>
After talking to the Al Bhed guy, you'll find yourself inside the dungeon
again. Open the treasure chest in front of you. A menu will pop up, teaching
you how to get through the dungeon. The first one will be automatically
opened for you. Just input the digit given. Before we start off, here are
few of the basic instructions you should know. This is solely for people who
are Japanese illiterate. Below are the explanation on how to decipher the
instructions given.
1. If digits are given, just follow them.
2. If there are 3 kanji words before a given number, it means that you should
add up the sum you've got previously for opening a numbered door. For eg.
x=A kanji. A sentence is given in this manner, [x x x 11 x x]. This means
that you should add the number you used to open door no.11 to another
given number.
3. A sentence without any digit means that you have to add the total amount
of GIL you have collected so far.
4. A sentence with a lot of kanji words as well as a given digit means that
you have to add up the total of battles you've encountered from a particular
door to another door. For eg. You'll see a sentence stating door no.11 to
no.13 in kanji, this means you have to remember the number of battles you've
encountered from no.11 to no.13 and add it to another given number.
A few tips before getting started:
1. If possible, equip yourself with a None Encounter accessory. This will save
the trouble of memorizing the number of battles you've gone through. This
means that if the instruction given is to add the total number of battles
to another given digit, the number you need to add with is always 0.
2. Each time you manage to open a door, 2 treasure chests will appear. Don't
open them. As a result, you won't gain any GIL. Therefore, you don't have
to memorize how much GIL you have. The amount of GIL you have will always
be 0.
3. Have a piece of paper as well as a pen to jot down all the numbers given.
When you open the first door, the instruction given will be like this. This is
just an example given.
>>Start
(Non-available)
3>>
12
After opening the first instruction, close the menu and follow the red arrow
to another door to open up another instruction menu such as below.
>>3
42
8>>
60
This is what the instruction means:
In order to open door number 3, you have to add the number 12 from the
previous menu to the current menu you've opened at door no.3, which is 42.
Add both numbers, 12 + 42 = 54. Input 54 into the option given and the door
will be opened. After getting through the door, follow the red arrow to
another door. By using the same procedures, another menu will pop up with the
following instructions.
>>8
[x x x 3 x x]
6>>
[Amount of GIL collected]
This is what the instruction means:
In order to open door number 8, you have to add the number 60 from the
previous menu to the current menu you've opened at door no.8, which is the
answer you used to open up door no.3, which is 54. Add both numbers, 60 + 54 =
114. Input the 114 and the door will be opened. And again, follow the red
arrow to the next door. Instructions given will be:
>>6
125
9>>
359
This is what the instruction means:
In order to open door number 6, you have to add the amount of GIL you had from
opening the treasure chests. If you didn't open them, the amount of GIL you
have will be 0. Therefore, just add 0 + 125 = 125. Simple as that. Input the
digit into the option and the door will be opened.
*Note* Hope that the explanation given above will help you to get through the
dungeon. Open up all the blocked paths to get Paine's "HP Limit Break" item as
well as a White Magic Result Plate. All the best! ^^
<Mihen High Road Secret Dungeon>
In order to get this dungeon activated, you will have to do some chocobo
catching first. How do you catch chocobos? When you encounter a chocobo during
battles, feed them with Gysahl Green. This will stop it from running away or
attacking your party members during battles. You can get some Gysahl Greens
from Clasko in his chocobo ranch. Just talk to him when you first helped him
to clear off the monsters in the ranch and he will give you 20 Gysahl Greens.
If you don't know Japanese, the item is usually located at the bottom of your
item menu. Feed the chocobo for a second time to tame it during battle. After
winning the battle, the chocobo will be automatically sent to the ranch. In
the ranch, level up your chocobo by feeding it with appropriate Greens. This
menu is available by talking to Clasko. Level your chocobos until Level 5 and
sent them out to Mihen High Road for treasure hunt. It'll take some time for
them to return. Once they return, Clasko will notify you that a hidden dungeon
in Mihen High Road was found by a chocobo during the hunt. What next? Head to
Mihen High Road.
When you're in Mihen High Road, rent a chocobo and ride to the section where
you fought the Chocobo Eater in your Story Level 2. You'll notice that there
will be a green fog near the save point. Approach it and choose the first
option to enter. Once in the dungeon, open the treasure chest in front of you
to get some S Grenades. By using the square button, choose the amount of
grenades you want to use to blow up the wall. Explore the dungeon for
some very interesting accessories. You might be wondering later which wall you
can use grenade on. It's pretty simple. Just move Yuna towards the wall and
you'll notice that blue cloth/skirt attached to her hip will be swaying due to
the movement of the wind. Walls that can be blown up will have wind passing
through them. Therefore it causes Yuna's skirt to sway. Keep exploring the
dungeon. However, there are walls that can be blown up with no wind passing
through. At the end, Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ King Vemin|- Level 65
HP: 39857
MP: 872
Equip yourself with Fire Nullify Ring as this guy casts Fire magic. Use Break
abilities on him. Besides that, nothing seems to be useful. Start the battle
with 2 fencers and a dark knight. Keep using physical attacks on him and heal
whenever necessary. He will be gone in no time.
You'll get a Result Plate for winning. You'll end up outside the dungeon after
the battle.
<Bevelle 100 Levels Dungeon>
This is the same place where you first obtained the 2 Akagi spheres. This
dungeon is located inside Bevelle Temple. Once inside the temple, take the
right route to a another section. The Kodomodan will be there as well. Take
the portal down. If you've been to this dungeon before, choose the 2nd option
to go back to the initial level you went through earlier. Proceed down to Level
40. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Black Elemental|- Level 75
HP: 9999
MP: 2380
Enter this battle with a white mage. Quickly cast Reflect onto your characters
to avoid his Ultima which can seriously kill all your characters in one shot.
With Reflect on your characters, he can't do any harm to you except casting
magic that lowers your offenses and defenses. Remember not to cast any magic
on him as he has the Auto Reflect ability. Just use physical attack on him.
Although his physical defenses are high, it shouldn't be any problem since he
can't hurt you.
Upon beating him, a treasure chest will appear, awarding you some really
useful and expensive accessories. One of the accessory allows you to break the
normal HP limit 9999. Proceed down to the next section and head on to Level 60.
Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Mount Mai Mai|- Level 85
HP: 343280
MP: 170
Before battle, equip your characters with a Result Plate that boosts defenses.
Enter the battle with 3 Dark Knights. He has an attack which will kill off one
of your characters instantly. Revive her as soon as she's down. Keep using Dark
Knight's Dark Wave ability which will constantly do a damage between 7000-9999.
Physical and magic attacks won't do much on him as he has Auto-Protect as well
as Auto-Shell. Use Mega Potions and Mega Phoenixes when necessary only because
you need them for the later bosses. Make sure your Dark Knights have the Anti-
Poison ability already before entering battle. This will surely make the battle
much easier to handle.
After this battle, you won't get anything for winning. Head on down to Level
80. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Chaku|- Level 90
HP: 459743 (Oversoul)
MP: 820
Before getting this boss, it is advisable to oversoul her first before battling
her. To oversoul her, look for normal fiends that look like her, the smaller
version of this anacondar known as Basilisk. After oversouling it, then only
you start the battle. Once you enter the battle, Chaku will automatically be
oversouled. Once oversouled, Chaku will have a different type of attack
strategy. Although she has a higher amount of HP, stronger than a
non-oversouled Chaku, she will not cast the most feared skill which is the
"Sound Wave" which can kill all your characters in one hit. Enter the battle
with 3 Fencers equipped with Haste Rings. If you don't have Haste Rings, try
using Thieves instead. Besides that, use Result Plates and accessories that
boost your physical defenses. If you characters are stoned, quickly heal them.
If they are poisoned, just leave it as it is until Chaku stones her. After
stoning, the effect will be gone. Keep a good timing on your attacks and she
will be not be able to attack you much. All the best!
Now, proceed down to the final level of the dungeon. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ "He Who Abandoned Everything"|- Level 99
HP: 200000
MP: 9999
Enter the battle with a Gambler equipped with a haste ring. Equip the others
with Result Plates and accessories that will boost your defenses which you will
need them for the next battle. As soon as you enter the battle, use the "Wairu"
option of Gambler to bribe him. In order to succeed, you have to have at least
a million GIL. This will then give you a better start for your next battle
against Torema without using your precious items during this fight.
After the battle with him, an old man you've met earlier called Torema will
appear. You will go straight into battle after the talking scene. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Torema|- Level 99
HP: 999999
MP: 999
Once battle starts, quickly change one of your characters to Thief to steal all
his MP from him. This will then stop him from casting Flare and Demi unto your
characters. Unfortunately, he will still be able to cast Meteor, therefore make
sure your characters' HP is always high. After depleting his MP, he will just
use physical attacks on you. Change all your characters to Dark Knights and use
the Dark Wave ability on him. Normal attacks won't hit him due to his high
evasion rate. Now it's the time to make full use of your X-Potions, Elixirs,
Mega Potions and other precious items. Use the item that can double your
characters' HP. If you're at level 99, you should be able to get a maximum HP
of 9999. Cast Protect unto your party to decrease his attacks bu using items.
Keep using Dark Wave and heal when necessary. If possible, try to equip your
party with the Result Plate that grants +20 to both your magic and physical
defense. All the best!
After beating him, you'll get an extremely useful accessory called the Iron
Duke. This accessory will double the stats of one particular character. You
will see "He Who Abandoned Everything" at the far end section. You can
challenge it once again without bribing him this time. ^^
<Good Ol' O'Aka>
Back again in Macalania forest. Head towards the snowy region where O'Aka's
shop is located. You'll be surprised to see another person with him too.
After the conversation with him. Leave the shop. He will then come running
out of the shop. Another conversation will occur. Episode complete. You can
head back in the shop now and buy some extremely useful accessory from him.
It's very expensive, around 50000 GIL each but it's worth it. Enables you to
cast magic and use other abilities although you're using another dress.
[This section is only applicable if you've helped O'Aka in Story Level 1,
cleared his 100000 debt and completed the
mission in Story Level 2.]
<Episode Complete in Calm Lands>
When you manage to reach 400PR points for the PR mission which you have
activated in Story Level 1. When you reach Calm Lands, an event will occur
automatically. The short red guy, Toberi will appear and he will merge both
the companies found in Calm Lands together to form another company. Somesort
like a partnership. A new minigame will appear too. When you talk to Toberi,
he will invite you to his upcoming concert in Luca. Episode complete.
<Where's My Cactuars?>
Head on to Sanubia Desert. You've probably activated the mission while you're
in Story Level 3. A girl will approach you to ask for your help to look for
the little cactuars so that they'll be returned to their respective places in
Sabotender Desert. It seems like the desert is under attack by a group of
snake-like monsters. The cactus needs protecting the desert needs the help
from his fellow cactus members around him but in order to go that, you have
to find 10 little cactuars to activate them. After talking to the cactus
labelled as red box on the map, talk to the cactus labelled green. He will
give you a clue to where the location of the cactuar is. Each time after you
have return a cactuar to it's respective place, you have to talk to another
cactus labelled as green box for another tip. There'll be a machina vehicle
that will take you back to Sanubia desert at the top right side of the screen.
Here are the locations of the cactuars.
1.Head back to Sanubia Desert. Talk to the man near the machina vehicle.
Choose the 3rd option to go to the Oasis. You'll find the first one there.
2.Go to Besaid Beach. You'll see it sitting by the seaside at the far end of
the beach.
3.Proceed to Guadosalam Mansion and into the underground passageway. It's
hiding itself in a treasure chest in one of the rooms.
4.Calm Lands. Found near the bridge. The area where you can go to the Cave of
The Stolen Fayth. It is riding on a chocobo.
5.Same as above. (Basically no.4 and no.5 are on the same chocobo. Therefore
there will only be one shooting game with both of them together.)
6.Go to Thunder Plains. It's located near a cactuar stone which is situated
opposite a shelter area. The shelter area is a tower with somesort of a
roof covering it. It's the same place you met with Rian and his friend. The
two Ronzo kids.
7.This one is a bit hard to find. It is in Kilika Forest. When you reach the
2nd crossroad in Kilika Forest, take the right route. Make sure you have
your X button remained pressed down so that as you proceed along the path,
you'll jump onto a tree and to another area. You'll see it sitting on the
cliff enjoying the scenery.
8.Mount Gagazet. Head down the mountain and to an open area where you first
fought Seymour in FFX.
9.Head back to Kilika Island. It's found Dona's house.
10.To get the 10th one, head back to Sabotender Desert and talk to the cactus
labelled as red box. It will then command the 9 cactuars you've found to
do a cactuar dance to break the Cactuar Cave's seal. You'll then be allowed
to enter the cave to look for your last cactuar.
You'll be awarded with a Result Plate that gives you double AP and experience
if you get to beat all the cactuars' minigames. You won't get the plate by
just finding them all. Please take note of this.
As you enter the cave, remember to save. Proceed to the inner section of the
dungeon. There's one section where you've got to run across the quicksand
within a given period of time. Just forget about the treasure chests at the
moment and run for your life towards the end of the dungeon. Get the 10th
cactuar and Boss fight!
After the scene by the cactuars, you'll get another scene showing you that
the Al-Bhed treasure hunt group has been attacked by a mysterious enemy. The
girl who approached you earlier will ask for your help once again. Choose the
first option to accept. And immediately after that, Boss fight! You'll get a
Ribbon accessory if you manage to defeat him. Mission completed.
-|Boss ~ Anra Manyu|- Level 70
HP: 333444
MP: 9999
You will meet this guy a couple of times when you're doing your treasure hunts
at Sanubia Desert. This time, you will have to fight him for real. It is
better to have your characters' level as high as possible because he's going to
be one tough enemy. It takes approximately about 30 minutes to defeat him with
the required level I stated above. Make sure you have tons of Mega Potions as
well as Phoenixes when you enter battle. Start off the battle with 3 Dark
Knights. You'll notice that his right arm will be doing physical damages
wherelse the left wil be busy casting magic. Either way, both the arms will be
irritating if you don't knock them out early. Use Dark Knight's "Dark Wave"
ability to wipe out both his arms simultaneously. This is the ability that
consumes a little of your HP, but trust me, it's worth it. Keep on using the
ability whenever he revives both his arms. Without his arms, basically just use
physical attack on him. Equip a White Magic ring onto one of your Dark Knights
so that she'll be able to cast white magic. This accessory can be bought from
O'Aka at his shop in the snowy area of Macalania forest for 50000 GIL. You can
choose to cast Reflect onto your party members too. This will help you to
avoid his Flare magic cast by the left arm. Instead, it will hit himself back
with the magic, probably with a 9999 damage. If you're out of Mega Potions,
you can always rely on the Item Shooter job. Change on of your Dark Knights
to Item Shooter to use Mega Potions as frequent as you like. By maintaining a
good pace of healing and attacks, he will be gone within 30 minutes or so. All
the best to you!
<A Chat With Dachi>
*Note* To initiate this event, you have to speak to Cid in Story Level 2 at
Thunder Plains, near the travel agency.
Head to the engine room of Celcius. Upon leaving the room, Dachi will appear
and have a conversation with Yuna. After that, head to the open area of Celcius
to look for Cid. After seeing Cid mumbling to himself, head back to the
cockpit. You'll see a scene between Rikku's happy family. After the scene,
you'll notice that Dachi and Aniki are missing. Go to the resting area on
Celcius. Head up the steps to the second floor where the beds are. There's
a conversation in Al Bhed between Cid and Rikku about Aniki's love life. Talk
to Cid and choose the first option. After that, head to the top of Celcius to
meet with Aniki, Dachi and Cid. Right after the conversation, head back to the
cockpit. This event contributes % to story level of completion.
<Mount Gagazet - Active Link>
A scene will occur when you arrive. It seems like there'll be a duel between
Kimahri and Gariku up at Mount Gagazet. Without using the teleporter, make
your way up the mountain. You'll meet both of them on the way there. And yes,
Kimahri looks very cool and macho indeed. ^^ After the fighting scene, you'll
see a monument dedicated to Kimahri. Episode complete. You might want to come
back to talk to Rion and his friend to get a Result Plate from them.
*Note* You can choose to have Yuna instead of Kimahri for the monument. All
you need to do is to answer the Ronzos' questions during your earlier levels.
You can do this during your second time through the game. Choose the 1st
option for the female Ronzo near Kimahri and choose the 2nd option for all the
rest of the Ronzos including Kimahri and Gariku.
<Zanarkand Ruins - Active Link>
You'll meet Meichen there when you arrive. Talk to him and a conversation
will occur. He'll tell you another story about the past. Episode complete. If
you met him earlier in the game at Mushroom Rock Road, he will tell you
something extra that contributes % towards story level completion.
<Getting Mascot Dress Sphere>
To get this final dress, you have to get all "Episode Complete" in all areas
around Spira. From Besaid Island to Zanarkand Ruins, each and everyone of them.
When you've completed them. Back on board of Celcius, talk to Aniki and he will
give you the dress sphere automatically.
*Note* You need not complete Bevelle's 100th Level Dungeon but you have to
get an Episode Complete for Bevelle's initial active link, the one I stated
above. It's advisable to complete the Akagi Sphere's Dungeon because that event
alone has an Episode Complete for Mushroom Rock Road.
Last Mission (Battle Against Vegnagun)
--------------------------------------
When you're on board of Celcius. Go and talk to Aniki. Choose the first option.
You'll be back to the underground world. Proceed down the spiral route. When
you reach the large platform, Boss fight!
-|Bosses ~ Dark Magus Sisters|- Level 48
Mindy's (bee) HP: 9788
MP: 9999
Sandy's (wasp) HP: 10330
MP: 9999
Cindy's (ladybird) HP: 12240
MP: 9999
This girls are real tough. They have really a high attack speed. Firstly, take
down Mindy first as her Pasado (stinger) ability is really threatening. By
beating her first, the sisters won't be able to use their Delta Attack ability.
Make sure you can Dispel on any of the sisters you're attacking because Cindy
will be constantly casting a magic which gives Protect, Shell and Reflect
ability for the sisters. After taking Mindy down, go for Cindy next. She's
really irritating when she casts supportive magic for her sisters. Keep your
characters constantly healed. Use three of your most powerful jobs to finish
one of them off first, then change one of your party members to a white mage
to do healing after that. Sandy will be very vulnerable at the end when she
stands alone in battle.
Head back up to the save point area to save. Then proceed down the spiral again
to the next area. Upon reaching another platform, Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Dark Anima|- Level 50
HP: 36000
MP: 9999
Dark Anima is much easier to beat compared to the Dark Magus Sisters. Enter the
battle with 3 jobs that have the highest attack status. This time, make good
use of the items you have such as the Mega Potion that heals 2000 HP for
everyone as well as a good supply of Remedy. When Dark Anima unleashes Pain
that causes multiple status on your character, use Remedy to cure. There's no
need for White Mage to be here. Keep on attacking and healing. Make sure your
party members' HP levels are high to be on the safe side. Just in case it uses
its overdrive.
After defeating the boss, a familiar person will appear. A conversation between
Yuna and him will occur. After that, you'll be in a place full of beautiful
flowers. Approach the Le Blanc. A scene will start. A portal will appear.
Save before you enter the portal. When you reach the other side, there'll be
a blue beacon on the ground. Stand on it and a melody will be played. Then
approach the piano to key in the appropriate notes stated at the bottom left
corner of the screen. This will deactivate the electrical barrier. Now you'll
see 2 routes. Take the left route first. Step on the blue beacon. Head on and
you'll reach a junction. Go down south to find to more beacons. One is long the
way down south. To find the other one, look at the map, you'll see that you can
jump down to another route on your way down south. Locate the beacon and head
up straight to the piano. Play the notes to deactivate the barrier. After
passing the barrier, you'll reach a Y-juntion. Take the right route. Jump down
to another route that located underneath the current route you're on. Head
down to locate a beacon and then up to a higher ground to stand on another
beacon. Jump down and take the left route now. Step on the beacon and head on
straight to the piano. Input the notes and it'll deactivate the last barrier.
You'll find Gabriel up ahead and Le Blanc will arrive with Uno and Sano. He
will give you Paine's sphere.
After watching the sphere, you'll be in a new area. The purpose of this section
is to play the tune accordingly by moving the appropriate block. There will
be two blocks for you to start with. One after the save point and another one
before the save point. Take the one on top. Then jump to the right block. 3
notes will be played. Jump to the right again. Then up and onto another big
block to play 2 more notes. Now head back to the save point area. Take the
block before the save point to a higher area. You'll then see two blocks in
front of you. Take the block which is higher than the other one to a bigger
block to play 1 note. Then head back to the save point area again. Take the
block after the save point again. But this time, jump left. It'll transport
you to a higher ground. Jump on to the next block to play a note. Then take
the previous block another higher level. Jump to the block next to the block
containing a treasure chest. 2 notes will be played. Head back to the save
point area. Take the same block up again. Jump left. Jump left again to a lower
block. 1 note will be played. Finally, head back to the save point area and
take the block before the save point. Jump onto the lower block. 2 notes will
be played. Head on up to the electrical barrier and stand on the beacon to play
all the notes. The gate will then be deactivated. Phew~ That was a lot of hard
work. ^^' Head on to next section. Maybe you want to get back down to save
first after all the work.
Just go straight now. There's no other paths that you can take. Climb onto the
elevated panels and you'll meet Nooj on the way. A scene will occur. After the
long conversation. You'll be able to hear Auron's, Jecht's and Braska's voice
giving advice to Yuna. Head down again to save because this is the last time
you can save. Head up the straight path leading to Vegnagun. Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Vegnagun (Tail)|- Level 52
HP: 34200
MP: 9999
From what I know, it has only two attacks. A single laser attack and a swing
attack that hits all party members. Just maintain a high HP level to survive
his swing attack. It's laser attack won't hurt you a bit. Use your strongest
jobs to attack him. It'll be dead within a few minutes. Make sure you've got
plenty of Mega Potions and Hi Potions because they are pretty handy in battles.
After beating him, head up to the next area. Climb the platforms to reach Le
Blanc's group. After the talk, Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Vegnagun (Leg)| - Level 53
Arm's HP: 18220
MP: 9999
Red Sphere's HP: 300000
MP: 9999
Green Sphere's HP: 300000
MP: 9999
Yellow Sphere's HP: 300000
MP: 9999
Looking at the amount of HP the spheres have, just concentrate your attacks on
the arm. Quickly finish it off as soon as possible. It's wise to use Dark
Knights here as they have the best overall offense and defense. Not only
physical but in magic as well. Keep your characters HP high by using items.
Due to the low amount of HP the arm has, it's easy to defeat it if your
characters attack power is high enough to inflict around 2000-3000+ damage.
Make use of accessories and Result Plates to increase your attacks.
Head on up. After the scene, Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Vegnagun (Body)|- Level 55
Body's HP: 33040
MP: 9999
Right Arm's HP: 3000
MP: 9999
Left Arm's HP: 3000
MP: 9999
Strategy to beating this guy is to clear off both his arms first. Then it will
not be able to cast Protect and Shell onto itself. The best way is to use
Dark Knight's Dark Wave, the ability that consumes a small amount of HP. This
will easily knock off both the arms in a single move. After finishing both
arms, hit it's chest with all you've got. If it revives it's arms, knock it off
again. Carry on like this until it's defeated. Be sure to cast Dispel to clear
off his supportive magic abilities such as Protect and Shell.
After another scene, Boss fight!
-|Boss ~ Vegnagun (Head)|- Level 56
Head's HP:38420
MP:99999
Right Tusk's HP:2500
MP:99999
Left Tusk's HP:2500
MP:99999
Use the same strategy same as above. Clear off both it's tusks and there will
be less problem to face. Each time you've cleared the tusks, concentrate all
your attack on his head. The rest is up to you.
When Vegnagun is defeated, a scene will occur. Prepare for your last battle!
-|Final Boss ~ Shuin|- Level 58
HP: 23850
MP: 210
All Shuin's attacks resemble to Tidus' overdrives. It's quite powerful if your
characters level are low. Just constantly heal your party members after each
attack by him. All the best!
You'll finally see the last scene of FFX-2. Just remember to keep pressing the
O button when Yuna reaches the area with a lot of flowers. Keep pressing until
Inoringo appear. He will ask you whether you want to be reunited with Tidus.
Choose the first option to accept. Congratulations! You've completed Final
Fantasy X-2. Sit back and enjoy the FMV.

-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is a walkthrough without a FAQ section? Therefore, this is a section that
I'll put up answers for questions that people usually asked regarding the game.
1.What are the necessary steps in order to get the "Good Ending"?
-You've got to complete side mission in Story Level 3.
-When Yuna is left alone in the dark underworld, in the area with flowers,
keep pressing the O button to activate a whistling event. Tidus' figure
will appear and lead her out of the the underworld in Story Level 3.
-Flag off the first season of Blitzball and head to the area where Tidus
taught Yuna how to whistle in Story Level 5.
-Complete in Story Level 5.
-After the battle with Shuin, when Yuna enters the area with flowers again,
press the O button to call upon Inoringo and choose the first option.
2.How come Tidus' figure appeared and hugged Yuna when I pressed the O button?
Why didn't Inoringo appear?
-This is because you did not manage to complete to 5 steps stated above. You
will end with a "Normal Ending".
3.What is the difference between a "Normal Ending" and a "Good Ending"?
-The "Good Ending" features an extra FMV at the end, showing Tidus and Yuna
being reunited. The "Normal Ending", however, does not have this event.
4.What about "Perfect Ending" and how do I get it?
-"Perfect Ending" contains an extra scene between Tidus and Yuna. You have to
complete the game with a 100% Story Level Completion.
5.How do I use the Special Dress Sphere (SDS)?
-To use it, you have to activate all the dresses on your Result Plate.
Meaning, you've got to change to all your dresses on the Result Plate. After
that, when you press the L1 button again, you'll see another option, which
is the R1. By pressing it, you'll be able to change into the SDS.
6.How come some of my accessories are not working in Bevelle's 100th Level
Dungeon?
-This is because before you enter the dungeon, there's a WARNING stating
that accessories may not work if you've entered the dungeon.
7.Why can't I access some of the missions you've stated in the walkthrough?
-This probably will happen in Story Level 2 when you were asked to choose
sides between Nooj's Youth Alliance Party and Baralai's Yevon Movement.
Depending on the sides you've choosed, you may not get some of the side
missions.
8.Can I get 100% Story Level Completion by playing the game once?
-This is not possible. You have to play at least twice in order to get 100%.
That's the function of New Game+.
9.New Game+? What is that?
-It is another option given to you after you've finished the game once. This
option allows you to use all the Result Plates, Accessories and Dress
Spheres that you have collected in your first game. However, the level of
your characters will be reset.
