Introduction
------------
Thunder Plains is located north of Guadosalam, and south of Makalania 
Forest. It is a place which consists of 3 sections/screens: A southern 
part, northern part and Outside the Travel Company. Thunderbolts strike 
very often here so towers were built to _absorb_ the lightning. But not 
all thunderbolts are being _absorbed_ by the lightning, and they strike 
to the ground. So travellers who are not near the tower to avoid bolts 
are likely to be striked by these bolts. 



How to avoid the thunderbolts
-----------------------------
During your very first time at Thunder Plains, there will be a tutorial 
about how to avoid the thunderbolt when it strikes. When the thunderbolt 
is about to strike, your television screen will flash and it will come 
shooting down followed by a thunder sound. To avoid the bolt, simply press
down the O button (JP Version) or the X button (US Version) when the screen 
is flashing and you will be able to dodge the lightning bolt. 

In my opinion, it's better to avoid the bolts as you walk along Thunder 
Plains as:
- it won't give you a bad record of the times that you were striked by the 
  bolts   
- you'll be pushed back one or two steps when you're striked by the bolts, 
  thus encounters will be increased



The Mini-game
-------------
This game is all about dodging the thunderbolts. The more thunderbolts you 
dodge, the better the prize is. This mini-game is avaliable once you reached
Thunder Plains.

The prizes for the bolt dodging are:

.-------------------------------.------------------------------.
| Number of Consecutive Times   |            Prize             |

Prepare yourself
----------------
Although you can start this mini-game before obtaining the Airship, I think 
that you should start it after obtaining the Airship. Why? Because Cleansing
Salts are only easily avaliable after you obtained the Airship. Collect 30 
Clenasing Salts and equip it to your weapon gives you the [Encounter-None] 
ability. With this, you can be free from those annoying battles when you're 
playing this mini-game. 

Q. How do you get Cleansing Salt?
A. These are the possible ways of getting Cleansing Salt.

Q. It's too troublesome, I want an easier way.
A. Another way of getting [Encounter-none] is defeating Demonolith,
   which is located in Omega Ruins and Inside Sin, but dropping the 
   weapon for encounter none is rare.
 
   I've constructed a data for Demonolith.

Q. Now I've got the [Encounter-none]. What should I do now?
A. Start the mini-game!

Q. I couldn't dodge for 200 times! I can only dodge for xxx times!
A. I have this experience before and what I could tell you is to try and keep trying.
   Practice makes perfect!

***Well, I have some tips to guide you through this dodging game.

Tips
----

1)Choose a suitable place to dodge the lightning.
-------------------------------------------------
Thunderbolts strike in different parts of the area and the frequency of bolts striking 
is different too. Some strike in single bolts, double bolts or even triple bolts. The 
place with triple bolts indicated is the highest frequency, which means the bolts 
strike down every 3-7 seconds. Staying in the Triple bolts area to dodge will save more 
time than dodging in the double or the single bolt area.

In my opinion, I think the best place to dodge is at [Thunder Plains=Northern part]. 
There is a Triple Bolt area at the southern tip of the Northern Part, which leads to 
the Travel Company if you go further south. So you need not run from one end to another 
to dodge and claim your prize.

*I hope this map helps*

2)Choose a suitable time
------------------------
Yep. Choose a suitable time. Not the time in FFX, it's your real-life time. 
Time is one of the _important_ factors. When do you think you're most alert? 
Morning? Afternoon? Night? Or even Midnight? Why do you need to be alert? If 
you're not alert enough, you might be striked during your xxxth dodging, and 
you'll have to restart.

Another reason for choosing a suitable time is: Concentration. You need to 
concentrate in order to dodge the lightning. You can't be watching cartoons 
and dodging at the same time. Choose a time which is the most quiet. If it is 
too noisy, your concentration may decrease. Another tip is choose a dark night
or a very early morning to play this mini game. Why? The flash before the bolt 
strikes is white. So you could immediately notice this and press the appropriate
button at the right time. A bright sky might decrease your alert-ness.

3)Don't _fly away_
------------------
What does it mean? Don't let your mind wander around. Concentrate! Or else....

4)Well....Can I save in between dodges? That'll make an easier job.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, No. It'll be a really easy job if saving is possible. Saving or 
entering the Travel Agency during your dodging game will reset the dodge counter.

5)Can I keep on getting the same prize or are they only one-time items?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think so. There is no way you can get another Venus Sigil when you've gotten 
one. I was striked during my 64th dodging the very first time I played this mini-game 
and I collected the prize from the starting. When I tried this sidequest again after I 
obtain the airship, I managed to dodge 200 bolts and the prize I collected was starting 
the 100th dodging. From this I can conclude that the prizes for dodging are only one-time 
items.

6)What about the items that the Travel Agency gave when you're striked by the bolt?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well....I've only been striked a total of 30+ times, so I do not know. But, the number 
of times you're striked by the lightning will not reset so I think they're one-time item 
too. Who knows when the =being striked counter= will reset?



Obtaining Spirit Lance (Longinus)
---------------------------------
Spirit Lance(aka Longinus) is Kimahri's Ultimate Weapon. To obtain it, you'll have 
to pray at 3 Cactuar statues in Thunder Plains. Cactuar Statues are located all over 
Thunder Plains. You must pray to the statues with a spirit_floating around it. Otherwise,
nothing will happen. Pray to the statues by pressing the |_| (Square) button. Then you'll 
have to find another statue with a spirit floating around it. After praying again, repeat 
the above steps again for the last time. Then you should see a faint cactuar spirit 
walking towards something. Follow it(or do it yourself) to the Southern Part of the 
Plains and pray to the _fallen tower?_. You'll obtain the Spirit Lance.

Well....
--------
This is all the information I can supply now. If you have more strategy to dodge 
the bolts, feel free to email me(kero_hikaru@hotmail.com) and tell me the strategy
and I'll post them here.

I'll update more about [Obtaining Spirit Lance] in later versions.

I'll change the names of the Dragon Race Monsters in the next version + the items
selling in here after obtaining the airship.

Do you think that this FAQ is missing something? Email me and I'll add it asap.

Did I missed out changing the names/terms/or anything into the US Version?

If you have some suggestions to improve this guide, feel free to tell me and I'll 
make the changes.
