                           =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Greetings once more! Its time to get back on track on my RPG guide writing. As 
promised here is my Final Fantasy X walkthrough/FAQ for the Sony Playstation 2. 
Ive been planning on making this guide even back when it was announced for the 
Playstation 2 (last year). Im a Role-Playing Game Enthusiast and I cant afford 
not to have this great title. Ill do what I did way back during the days of my 
Final Fantasy IX guide. This time, Ill try to make it better than any of my 
other guides. But just as my previous guides, Ill wont be accepting e-mails 
regarding questions and contributions for now. Ill start accepting them after 
the walkthrough is finished. I have my own e-mail address for this one though.

As for the game, this is definitely the BEST game EVER to appear on any console. 
I dont want to hurt the feelings of those who got the Xbox and the Gamecube 
last November but you really need a PS2 for this one. Final Fantasy X is the 
revolutionary RPG game for the next generation console gaming. Gear up folks, 
lets roll!

                               =-=-=-=-=-=-=

For the past few months, Ive been receiving such a great number e-mails and 
some of them are quite annoying (very few though, just 2). So, I decided to 
put up this e-mail policy as a guide for you if you want to send an e-mail to 
me. Here are the things that you must do/must not do in sending an e-mail 
regarding this guide and any of my other guides:

Dos
----
1. Send me a question which cannot be found on my guide. I will be more that 
happy to help you.
2. Try to be specific in order for me to understand what youre trying to ask 
me.
3. You can send in your questions/contributions/other e-mails in text or HTML 
format. No executables.
4. Check first the latest version of the guide before sending questions, 
contributions, etc.  If you use later versions, the answer/s to your questions 
might have been answered already and will be most likely to be ignored.
5. If I happen to forget you, just e-mail me nicely and Ill respond to you 
ASAP.

Donts
------
1. Dont send any questions which can be answered from my guide. And dont be 
persistent in doing so.
2. Dont send nonsense e-mails like I want to marry you!, Can you buy me 
this or that?, etc.
3. Dont say bad words. F$#k Y%u! and the likes.
4. And, dont send Chain letters! Please!
(Doing this, your e-mail will be most likely to be ignored)
5. Dont send executable files (.exe, .com) as an attachment. I dont want any 
Trojans wandering around. 
6. Dont Spam (repeated messages)

Change topic, for those who will send their contributions, Ill always credit 
anything that is from you. I will always make sure of that. If I ever forget, 
please remind me nicely. :)

                              GAME INFORMATION 
                          =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

=============
GAME CONTROLS
=============
If you have played one of the games in the final fantasy series, youll be very 
familiar with the game controls for the game. You use the Action button (X) to 
examine objects and talk to people. Triangle Button will be for the menu. Circle 
Button is assigned as the Cancel or the Walk Button. The Square button will be a 
special button for the Blitz Ball mini-game. Apart from the D-Pad (up, right, 
down, left) buttons, you may use the Left Analog stick to control the character. 
It will be much convenient that way.

==========
GAME MENUS
==========
to be included in the future...

===========
GAME BASICS
===========

1. The Navigation System
------------------------
The navigation system of the game is much like the same as in the previous Final 
Fantasies. You just control your character in towns and other places looking for 
key items and finding certain event locations. But this time, it will be much 
easier since the overhead map on the upper left corner of the screen shows you 
at once where you should go. It will be indicated by a red arrow. Youll just 
have to find your way to that indicator. But of course, there will be times when 
youll need to find your way out yourself.

2. Storyline Info
-----------------
The storyline is practically very linear since there are no huge turning points 
that change/affect the story. Youll have to devote more time now since there 
are voiceovers for the story. It made the game more story-based, much like the 
Bouncer. But of course, FFX has more action.

3. Battle System
----------------
The game incorporates almost the same turn-based battle system as the other 
games in the Final Fantasy Series. The CTB (Time Bar) is located on the right 
side of your screen during battles. Youll see the order of movement, the top of 
which is the one who will move first. If a characters bar depletes, it means 
he/she will have his/her turn. There are various things that affect the CTB. One 
is the type of attack the character does. Some attacks lessen the depletion time 
of the CTB and thus, it slows down the character. This is most evident when you 
use Special Attacks and Overdrives for Aeons. Second, the CTB depletion rate can 
be altered by using Haste (deplete faster) or Slow (deplete slower). Sometimes, 
it really is necessary to watch the order so that you can plan your move ahead 
of time.

4. Element System
-----------------
Again, the elemental system is applied in battles. But this time, it will be 
much simpler than ever. There are 4 main elements namely Ice, Fire, Water, and 
Lightning. Ice and Fire oppose each other as well as Water to Lightning. If you 
use Ice on a Fire Based opponent, that attack will be very much effective. If 
you use the same element as the opponent, it will be most likely that it will be 
less effective. Your attack may even heal the opponent so watch out and know 
what your opponents element is.

5. Items and Key Items
----------------------
As usual, items play an integral part in the game. Most especially, the Key 
Items are needed in order to progress through the game. Each item has its own 
effect/price and are can even be found on spoils from enemies. As for Key Items, 
they sometimes need some thinking in order to acquire. 

6. Weapons and Armor
--------------------
Weapons and Armor are the basic tools youll need in the game. They are the one 
you use to assault your enemies. These weapons and armors (not all weapons and 
armors though) have special abilities that when equipped, will be activated and 
for use in the battle. It has been made simpler this time though since you only 
have to worry about the weapon and the armor. You dont have to worry about 
helmets, gloves, and such.

===============
CHARACTER STATS
===============

Strength - Determines the overall physical power of the character. It determines 
how much damage the character will do with normal attacks.

Defense - Determines how high the defense of the character is. The higher this 
rating is, the lower the damage he will receive from physical attacks.

Magic - Determines how strong is the Magical ability of the character. The 
higher this stat is, the stronger the effect of magical attacks will be. 

Magic Defense - Just like defense, but this time, this concerns magic. It 
determines how much damage the character will take from Magical attacks.

Agility - This shows how fast the CTB of that character will fill up. 

Luck - This shows how will the character fare in landing an Overkill attack. 
This is applicable to physical and magical attacks. 

Evade - This stat shows the chance of the character to evade attacks and thus, 
receive no damage.

Accuracy - This shows the possibility or the chances of a character in 
successfully attacking the opponent.

==================
I. Main Characters
==================

Tidus
-----
He is a young Blitz Ball star of the Zanarkand Abes. All seems great until one 
day, Sin changed his life anew into a journey he never dreamed of. Apart from 
that, Tidus is also torn between affection for Lady Yuna and hate for his 
father, Jecht.

Yuna
----
Yuna is an apprentice summoner who just turned into a full-fledged summoner 
after praying at the Besaid Temple. Yuna is the daughter of the famous High 
Summoner Braska. Yuna must now journey throughout Spira in a pilgrimage to the 
temples in order to acquire the final aeon and defeat Sin and follow in the 
footsteps of her father.

Wakka
-----
Wakka is the captain of the Besaid Aurochs. The Blitz Ball team of Besaid that 
never won a single game in years. They yearn for a win and Tidus will be the 
key. Wakka, on the other hand, is one of Lady Yunas guardians. Although he is 
torn between his services as a guardian and a captain for Blitz Ball, hell find 
the true path hell take.

Lulu
----
Lulu is one of the guardians of Yuna. She has the ability to use Black Magic or 
offensive magic. Although short tempered, she is caring and soft at heart. But 
then, there is some mystery between him and Wakka concerning Wakkas little 
brother, Chappu.

Kimahri Ronso
-------------
A member of the Ronso tribe, Kimahri doesnt speak too much and shows what he 
means through actions. He is strong-willed and strong-bodied at the same time. 
He has devoted himself into protecting Lady Yuna ever since before she became an 
apprentice Summoner.

Rikku
-----
Rikku is an Al Bhed girl who first met Tidus at Spira. Although some Al Bhed are 
rock-hearted, Rikku is sweet and she expresses her emotions very well.

                               WALKTHROUGH
        =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The game offers quite a very linear story. You can actually go through your 
first game without any help at all. But just incase you got lost somewhere, Ill 
try my best to help you out with this guide. 

*****IMPORTANT REMINDER*****
Just take note that as with my previous RPG guides, I write the walkthrough with 
minor spoilers in it so that you will be able to follow fully with the story and 
the game. But Ill try to minimize the spoilers so as not to reveal major 
turning points in the story.

=================
ZANARKAND STADIUM
=================

In the beginning, youll see a short FMV with all the characters shown. After 
that, its onto the stadium. There, our hero is being greeted by his fans since 
he is a Blitz Ball star. Now, youll be able to take control of him for the 
first time. Try to familiarize yourself on how to move the character. I suggest 
using the analog controller for ease of use. Then, go south towards the screen 
and talk either to the 2 girls or the children. Youll be asked for the name of 
our hero. Let us use his default name, Tidus. You may then talk to the other 
persons here. After that, a cue for the start of the game will be heard. Tidus 
will leave. When you regain control of him, just head east. Youll be able to 
hear the voice of Tidus himself. Youll now notice that Tidus is actually 
narrating his story. Move on to the next screen.

Here, Tidus will be at the center of the crowd (just incase you cant find him). 
Just go north towards the building. Youll then see another FMV. A short while 
later, a disaster will happen. Youll be able to regain control of Tidus once 
more. This time, check out the small map on the upper left corner of your 
screen. Take note that there is a red arrow there. It is actually the exact 
point (or the direction to that point) where you need to go to in order to 
advance in the game/story. Now, go south to that point and meet up and talk with 
Auron (I really thought it was Aaron back then ^_^). Youll then see a short 
time-stopped event. Youll also be introduced to Sin by Auron. After that, 
youll have to fight your way through the spawns. Just attack them normally. 
Later, youll meet up with a boss.

################################################################################
BOSS: SINSPAWN AMMES
################################################################################
HP:      2,200+
AP:      0
Gil:     0
Items:   none
Equip:   none
Attacks: Demi
Steal:   not applicable

This is easy. Just use normal attacks and perform Overdrives when possible. Just 
try to finish the battle quickly since Demi will cut off quite a chunk of your 
HPS. 
################################################################################

After that, follow Auron while fighting on the way. When the enemies just keep 
on coming, hit the machine on the right to destroy the ground and give a chance 
for you to evade them. But then, it seems fate laid its hand on Tidus and he is 
sucked inside Sin along with Auron.

=====
RUINS
=====
Treasures: Potion, 200 Gil, Hi-Potion x2, Flints, X-Potions, Ether, Withered 
Bouquet

Youre now on another world it seems. First, familiarize yourself with in-water 
navigation. Pressing the Circle button will let Tidus dive. Now, head to a 
location where you see a boy. After that, youll be in a ruin area. Here, go 
west for an Al Bhen Comp. Sphere. Youll be able to use it later in the game. 
Near this is a chest with a Potion. Go back to the water and head east. Get 200 
Gil from a chest there. Finally, go north towards the Red Indicator on the map 
and youll eventually reach the first Save Sphere of the game. Dont hesitate, 
just save your game. 

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
SAVE SPHERES
- youll be able to save your game here. Also, your HP and MP will be 
replenished as well as for the Aeons (summons). There will also be other uses 
for this later in the game.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

After saving the game, continue to the next screen. Here, youll see an 
intersection. Go left first and get a Hi-Potion from a chest. Go back to the 
intersection and go north. In the water, go north. Youll now encounter your 
first underwater battle. After beating the opponents, another boss will appear.

################################################################################
BOSS: GEOSGAENO
################################################################################
HP:      500+
AP:      0
Gil:     0
Items:   none
Equip:   none
Attacks: Normal Physical Attacks
Steal:   not applicable

Again, heres another easy one. Just use normal attacks against it. Use Potions 
if necessary.  
################################################################################

After a scene, go north and go up the stairs at the end. Youll be in a main 
hall. Its cold here so youll need fire. First, go southwest and youll see a 
Save Sphere. Save if youd like. Then, use the south door and get the Flints 
inside. Next, in the main hall, get a X-Potion to the east. Use the northern 
door. Here, get an Ether to the Lower Left area. Then, continue north. On top, 
get the Withered Bouquet. Continue to the next screen and get another Hi-Potion. 
Now, head back to the main hall and examine the center. Youll see a couple of 
scenes here with a battle. Some people will arrive in here. 

################################################################################
BOSS: KLIKK
################################################################################
HP:      1,500+
AP:      5
Gil:     100
Items:   Ability Sphere x2
Equip:   none
Attacks: Normal Physical Attacks
Steal:   Grenade

In this battle, the woman is on your side. Use her grenades to inflict a 
sufficient amount of damage to Klikk. As for Tidus, just let him attack normally 
and use Potions. Also, if you run out of grenades, you can steal some from 
Klikk. Just use the womans steal ability.
################################################################################

After that, they will take you on their ship afterwards. 

============
SALVAGE SHIP
============
Treasures: Potion x3

Here, youll hear their weird language. But then, talk to the girl and she will 
speak normally. Youll now learn more about the Sphere Grid. After that, the 
girl will tell you that youll have to work. When you regain control, talk to 
one of the guys and hell give you 3 Potions. Save at the Save Sphere on the 
upper left area of the deck. Talk to the woman again. Youll be able to control 
Tidus in the water. Just press Circle until you shift to the next screen. In 
this screen, just follow the chain down to the underwater ruins.

================
UNDERWATER RUINS
================

Upon reaching the ruins, I suggest that you save your game first. Then, examine 
the blue panel here. It will open up a new path. Go in. Examine the center then 
go back. Youll meet up with another one of the bosses.

################################################################################
BOSS: TROS

In this battle, youll see a new variation of moves. Tros will, first, go around 
the battle area. It will make Tidus and the girl unable to attack. Just choose 
the Stand By actions for both. Tros will lunge an attack. Just use the girls 
grenades and let Tidus do normal attacks. When it goes around the second time, 
choose the Pincer attack. Tidus and the woman will sneak up on both sides of 
Tros. It wont be able to escape anymore. Just pummel it until it dies.
################################################################################

When you regain control, follow the girl towards the exit. In the water, keep on 
diving down towards the Red Indicator on the map. After a short while, youll be 
back on the Ship.

============
SALVAGE SHIP
============

Youll see some scenes here where the girl talks to Tidus. Her name is Rikku. 
They will talk about Zanarkand, Blitz Ball and more. After that, when you regain 
control of Tidus, go to the Save Point and save your game. Next, talk to Rikku 
again. Later, Sin will do a surprise attack on the ship. Unfortunately for 
Tidus, hell get sucked inside again. 

============
BESAID BEACH
============
Treasures: Moon Crest, Antidote x2, Phoenix Down

Youll find yourself in a new area. Tidus will show off his amazing Blitz Ball 
moves and the people will be stunned. When you regain control of Tidus in the 
water, go east and get a Moon Crest from a chest. Now, go back and talk to the 
people. Tidus will show off the move again. Then, one will introduce himself as 
Wakka. He is the Captain of the Besaid Aurochs. After some talk between the two, 
youll control Tidus again. Follow Wakka. Youll talk more about Zanarkand. 
Then, save your game. Follow him again. When you reach the lake, Wakka will push 
Tidus onto the water. In the water, just follow the channel. Dive along the way 
for a chest with 2 Antidotes. Near the end of the channel, youll see a short 
scene with Wakka and Tidus, about Blitz Ball.

Youll now arrive at the Village. Youll meet the Crusaders on the way. At the 
Village, Wakka will show you the different places you can go to. Then, hell ask 
you about their prayer. You may answer whichever you want. After that, Wakka 
will tell you to head for the temple and present yourself to the Temple 
Summoner. When you regain control of Tidus, go to the houses here. The first one 
on the left is an Item Shop. Buy some Potions and Phoenix Downs if youd like. 
After that, you may talk to the people on the houses on the right side. Theres 
a Phoenix Down just outside the Item Shop. Wakkas house is in one of them. 
Then, go to the Crusaders House. The Crusaders (Luzzu and Gatta) here will tell 
you their purpose and objectives. After that, you may talk to the person in the 
counter for a free nap. This will replenish your HP and MP. After that, leave 
and head for the temple to the north. Youll see a short scene when you enter. 
When you regain control of Tidus, try heading for the Northwest door. An elder 
will talk to you more about High Summoner Braska and about Yevon. After that, 
try to go up the stairs to the west door. The elder will stop you. Now, head all 
the way back to Wakkas house. Talk to him and take another nap. Youll see him 
leave with the elder. Now, go back to the temple and then, talk to Wakka. It 
seems the apprentice summoner has taken too long. Tidus will not hesitate to 
break the rules just to save the apprentice summoner. Tidus will head for the 
cloister of trials.

===========================
CLOISTER OF TRIALS (BESAID)
===========================

Take note, these types of trials consists of puzzles. They are easy but later, 
youll encounter more complex ones. First, youll see 2 glyphs here. Examine the 
one on the north. Then, examine the one on the right (which will open). Go down 
and examine another Glyph on the way. Youll be told about how to use the Glyphs 
and Spheres. Youll receive a Glyph Sphere. Always remember that you can only 
hold one Sphere at a time. Now, continue down and examine the recess on the 
door. Place the Sphere and it will open. Go through. In the next area, go west 
and youll see a pedestal at the end. First, examine the symbols on the wall 
just opposite the pedestal. Get the Besaid Sphere. Put in on the pedestal. The 
path will open. Now, push the pedestal towards the glittering light. Wakka will 
come in. He will now tell you that he himself is one of the guardians. Youll 
then move on to the Fayth (inner chamber of the temple/cloister) where the 
apprentice summoner prays. 

There, youll see the other 2 guardians. After a short talk, the apprentice 
summoner will finally come out. She is now a full-fledged summoner. Youll see 
more cutscenes afterwards. When you regain control of Tidus, leave the temple. 
Youll see a demonstration of the Lady summoner. She will summon the Aeon 
Valefor. Everyone will be overjoyed. After that, youll see more scenes. Later, 
Wakka will introduce Tidus to the Blitz Ball team. When you regain control of 
Tidus, head left and try to talk to the Summoner. The people wont allow it but 
the summoner will approach Tidus. She will introduce herself to Tidus. Her name 
is Yuna. After a some talk (Wakka comes into the scene also), go back and talk 
to Wakka, who is now with the Aurochs, to take some sleep. During the night, 
Tidus will have a weird dream. Youll be able to control him through. Just move 
on and talk to Yuna. Rikku and Jecht will appear too. After that, Tidus will 
wake up and see Wakka and Lulu. Youll see more scenes later with Tidus and 
Wakka talking about Wakkas little brother, Chappu. 

The next morning, Wakka will give you a new sword, which he gave to his little 
brother way back. When Yuna arrives, the party will move on to pray for victory 
(Blitz Ball) and safe journey. On the way, youll learn some battle basics such 
as the elements. After that, when you regain Tidus after they prayed, save your 
game. Now, follow the Red Indicator. A beast will come in. It is one of Yunas 
Guardians. Just beat it with normal attacks or use your Overdrive if possible. 
Wakka will stop the fight. Yuna will tell you more about Kimahri. After that, 
just move on. On the way, youll learn how to use Yunas Aeons. Use Valefor for 
the meantime since there are no other Aeons at the moment. To finish the battle 
quickly, use the Overdrive of the Aeon when the Overdrive bar fills up. From 
here, just move on until you reach the beach. Save your game, then board the 
ship. Yuna will say goodbye to the people of Besaid.

Treasures: Remedy

Now, youll be able to see the new world map for FFX (I do admit that this is a 
flaw since it deviated from the original world map concept of the previous 
games). On the ship, youll first see a naughty Tidus. When you regain control 
of him, go and talk to Wakka. Then, go to Yuna and youll automatically talk 
with her. After talking to her, go down to the cabin and meet Oaka. He is a 
traveler merchant whom youll be seeing many many times in your journey. You can 
buy weapons and items from him. After that, go to the south door behind the 
stairs. Youll see the Chocobos here. They are powering the ship (just as in 
FF9). Go back out and go inside the room beside the save point. Get a Remedy 
inside. You may save your game if youd like. Go down off the deck into the 
cabin below. Head into the room on the left. There's a small rectangular box on 
the right side of the screen. By pressing the action button Tidus will kick it 
and receive a potion! You can do it several times.

After that, go back up to the deck and talk to Wakka then to Yuna. Youll talk 
more and more about Zanarkand, Blitz Ball, and more. Suddenly, Sin will appear 
from nowhere and youll have to do battle once more.

################################################################################
BOSS: SIN (and Sinscales)
################################################################################
HP:      2,236
AP:      0
Gil:     0
Items:   none
Equip:   none
Attacks: none
Steal:   n/a

This is a rather simple battle, if you know what to do exactly. First, your 
priority should be to defeat Sins fin. To be able to attack it, you must use 
either Wakka, Lulu, or both of them. Yuna should be in the party to heal. Now, 
as for the Sinscales, just leave 1 of them alive so that more will not come 
anymore. Concentrate your attacks on the Fin and heal when necessary.
################################################################################

After that battle with Sin, Tidus is nowhere to be found. Wakka jumps in and 
saves him. But then, another boss comes up.

################################################################################
BOSS: SINSPAWN ECHUILLES (more Sinscales)
################################################################################
HP:      2,268
AP:      10
Gil:     573
Items:   Power Sphere x2, Mana Sphere x13, Ability Sphere x2
Equip:   Yellow Arm Guard, Harpoon
Attacks: Blender, Drain Touch
Steal:   n/a

This is a long match. First, your main concern should be the Blender attack and 
the annoying Sinscales. Let Wakka kill the Sinscales and let Tidus handle the 
boss. Do not hesitate to use Potions. Youll be using several of them. Now, when 
available, use your overdrives to give you more advantage to the boss.
################################################################################

After that battle, youll see a sad scene where Sin obliterates Kilika. Then, 
youll finally arrive at Kilika Village.

======
KILIKA
======

When you arrive at the ill-fated Kilika Village, Yuna will offer her services as 
a Summoner to perform the Sending ritual for the souls of the dead. When you 
regain control of Tidus, save your game first then head north and then, go west. 
Youll see the entire ritual here where Yuna sends the soul to the farplane to 
give them peace. The next morning, leave the inn. Datto will talk to you and 
tells you that Wakka wants to talk to you. Go west first and save a girl here 
who is on an unstable platform. After that, go all the way to the east and talk 
to Wakka. After that, go west and keep on moving until you reach the Woods.

============
KILIKA WOODS
============
Treasures: Elixir, Scout, Hi-Potion, Luck Sphere

Youll see a scene with Yuna where she asks Tidus to become her guardian. Well, 
Tidus isnt a guardian yet but hell still stay close to Yuna and protect her. 
When you regain control, you may want to save first, go all the way to the north 
until you meet up with Luzzo and Gatta. They are confronted by a Lord Ochu. Do 
battle with it.

################################################################################
BOSS: LORD OCHU
################################################################################
HP:      4,649
AP:      40
Gil:     420
Items:   MP Sphere
Equip:   Echo Arm Guard
Attacks: Poison Claw, Water, Earthquake
Steal:   n/a

You can use Valefor here. Let Valefor attack until it vanishes. Then, use Lulus 
Fire magic and let the others attack the Ochu. The most devastating attacks are 
the Poison Claw and the Earthquake. Youll need a couple of Antidotes or Yunas 
Esuna Magic. When the Ochu is asleep, it will Regenerate its HP by 300+ 
gradually. You wouldnt want that since it is hard to damage it. Just attack it 
with physical attacks to wake it up. Watch out, hell perform earthquake when he 
wakes up so heal at once.
################################################################################

After the battle, go south and save your game again. Dont forget to talk to 
Luzzo and get an Elixir. After saving, go back up to the intersection and head 
left. At the next intersection, go north and get a Scout. At the next 
intersection, move north once more. Youll meet up with several people here. Get 
a Hi-Potion from one of them. Go north here and get a Luck Sphere. Go back to 
the previous intersection and continue to the east. At the next intersection, go 
north. Youll finally reach the temple area. Here, youll see a short scene. 
After that, go and save your game at the save point. Follow Yuna and youll be 
battling another one of the Sinspawns.

################################################################################
BOSS: SINSPAWN GENEAUX
################################################################################
HP:      3,000 (2 tentacles: 450 HP each)
AP:      82
Gil:     350
Items:   Ability Sphere x2, Power Sphere x6
Equip:   Bright Arm Guard
Attacks: Venom, Water, Staccato
Steal:   n/a

For this boss, attack its tentacles first. His body will be armored so use 
Lulus Magic. When he reveals himself (including his tentacles), use Valefor to 
punish it. Then, when Valefor is gone, use your most powerful physical or 
magical attacks on it.
################################################################################

After that battle, save your game below once more if youd like. Then, continue 
up towards the temple. Youll see some scenes with Lulu. 

=============
KILIKA TEMPLE
=============

Here, go north and youll be greeted by the Luca Goers, the best Blitz Team in 
Spira. After that, you may save again if you want then go into the temple. Talk 
to Wakka here and pray too. Youll see some scenes with another Summoner, Dona, 
and her guardian. When you regain control, go up into the door. Tidus will be 
left behind since he isnt a Guardian yet. Now, wait till the platform comes up 
again. Dona and Barthello will come and places Tidus onto the platform 
forcefully bringing him to the bottom. Below, go inside the chamber. Youll 
reach another Cloister of Trials.

===========================
CLOISTER OF TRIALS (KILIKA)
===========================
Treasures: Red Armlet

First, get the Kilika Sphere and place it on the recess on the door. It will 
burn. Remove it again and place it either to the left or the right wall recess. 
Go through the door. This is the second room. All you have to do is to touch the 
Glyph to the far north. A door will open leading to the 3rd room. Here, get the 
Kilika Sphere on the right then step on the Glittering Panel. A Pedestal will 
appear. Put the Kilika Sphere on the Pedestal and push it onto the glittering 
panel. Next, get the Glyph Sphere and put it on the east recess (near fire) and 
the fire will be put out. Get the Kilika Sphere below and put it on the door 
first. Now, go back to the door that was opened using the Glyph Sphere. Get the 
Destruction Sphere inside. Place it on the recess at the bottom and the wall 
will crush. Now, remember that the Destruction Sphere opens up secret treasures 
in Cloisters just as what youve learned earlier. Get the Red Armlet here. 
Finally, remove the Kilika Sphere from the burning door and place it elsewhere. 
Go through the door. Youll see more scenes. When you regain control of Tidus, 
talk to Wakka and youll learn more about the Fayth and Aeons. When you regain 
control, try to leave the chamber. Yuna will finally come out. After that leave 
the temple. Youll see a couple of scenes and a flashback outside. When you 
regain control of Tidus again, go all the way back to the ship.

=========
S.S. LIKI
=========

See some short scenes here. When you regain control of Tidus in the Cabin, leave 
the room and move on to the deck. Go to the south of the deck and keep on 
talking to Yuna about Zanarkand. After that, go to the west side of the ship and 
go up. Youll see Lulu and Wakka talk about Tidus. Keep on going back up to hear 
the entire story. When you are able to go to both of them talk to them then go 
back down. Now, go north and examine the Blitz Ball. Youll see another 
flashback of Tidus. Its now time for the Jecht Shot Challenge. Here, youll 
need to perform the Jecht Shot to finally remove the bad memories Tidus had. 
There are 9 locations on the screen where memories (text) will appear. Youll 
then have to push the corresponding direction plus the X button. Example, if the 
text/memory appears on the upper left, you should press Up+Left and the X 
button. That goes the same for all directions. If it is in the center, just 
press the X button only. You will be given a short practice. Then, the real 
thing begins. Just keep on pressing those buttons with accordance to the 
memories until Tidus finishes the move. If you fail, Tidus will miss the ball. 
If you managed to get it right, Tidus will be finally freed of those bad 
memories. Also, youll be given the Jecht Shot Technique that you can use later 
in the Blitz Ball games if you successfully performed it. Youll then see lots 
of scenes with Yuna, Wakka, and the rest of the Aurochs. Youll then be asked to 
save your game. After that, youll finally reach Luca.

====
LUCA
====

Here, the announcer will introduce some of the teams that will participate in 
the opening tournament. Youll hear an annoying introduction for the Besaid 
Aurochs who didnt have any win at all. After some more scenes, youll be able 
to control Tidus once more. Just follow the Red Indicator on the map. Youll 
meet Maester Mika and Maester Seymour here. After seeing this scene, youll be 
asked to save your game once more. At the Locker room, youll hear the news 
about the match. Luckily, you wont have to face the Luca Goers for now. The 
first match will be against the Al Bhed Psyches. Now, youll be shown a massive 
tutorial for Blitz Ball. I do suggest that you go over these tutorials if you 
play for the first time. After that, Yuna will come in and informs you that 
Auron has been sighted in the city. Tidus will go with Yuna for a while. Youll 
see a short scene with Tidus and the Al Bhed here. After that, when you regain 
control of Tidus once more, just follow Yuna towards the Red Indicator on the 
map. You may save your game on the way. At the bar, Auron isnt found, but 
youll see Kimahri face 2 more of his Ronso friends. But then, the tournament 
has started. Then, Tidus will notice that Yuna is gone. Lulu will fill you in. 
Yuna is most likely to have been kidnapped. When you regain control, just follow 
the Red Indicator towards platform 4. Youll have to battle some Machinas on the 
way. Just use Lulus Thunder Magic and youll be fine. Youll also see Wakka 
giving it up to the Al Bhed since Yunas life is in danger. Then, Tidus and the 
party will catch up to an Al Bhed ship. Youll have to battle a boss.

################################################################################
BOSS: OBLITZERATOR
################################################################################
HP:      6,000
AP:      36
Gil:     58
Items:   Elixir
Equip:   Metal Ring
Attacks: Physical Attacks
Steal:   n/a

This battle will be easy. First, let Tidus cast Haste on Lulu. Then, have Lulu 
use her Thunder Magic on the Crane a few times so that it will be activated. 
When it is activated, operate it using Tidus. It will destroy the machina and 
swill damage it by 5,500 HP! Use 1 more Thunder Magic on it to obliterate it.
################################################################################

After that, Yuna will be safe. You will also know the lineage of Yuna. Then, 
Lulu will send a signal to Wakka that Yuna is safe. He will then give it one 
last shot to give the Aurochs their first taste of victory! After that, just 
follow the map to go back to the Locker Room. Its Tidus time to show off his 
Blitz moves. After some scenes, youll regain control of Tidus. Go back inside 
the Locker Room and talk to Wakka. After that, the match begins with Tidus 
acting as the captain. Now, youll be playing real Blitz Ball yourself. The Luca 
Goers stats are very very high. Even if you are good at playing (if this is 
your second time through the game), youll have a hard time playing it. Tidus 
shooting is also weak and cant penetrate easily through the goalie. Their 
shooters are excellent and can easily score from your goalie. During the second 
half, Wakka will come in and replace Tidus. The Luca Goers will win but the 
Aurochs proved that they are a team to be reckoned with. After the match, Tidus 
will go to Wakka when suddenly, fiends appear and youll have to do battle with 
them. Just keep on fighting until you get out. Later, outside, youll be able to 
control Auron. One slash is all that is needed to beat the enemy. Then, Tidus 
and Wakka will finally meet him. Youll do battle again. Use everything youve 
got. When all seems lost, Seymour comes in and demonstrates the power of his 
Aeon. It will pulverize all fiends. Nothing will be able to escape. Then, after 
those scenes, youll be asked to save your game once more. After that, youll 
see Wakka say his goodbye to his team. Then, youll see Auron. Youll then hear 
the story of Auron. He will also reveal something about Jecht and Sin and that 
he is a guardian too. After that, when you regain control of Tidus, just follow 
the map and youll see your next destination. Then, go talk to Yuna and youll 
see her and Tidus do some laughing and whistling. Time to go to Djose.

points if youd like. After that, move on. Talk to the old man by the statue and 
hell tell you more about Miihen and the Crusaders. Continue. Get a Hunters 
Spear and 2 Antidotes on the way. Then, youll see ruins of an ancient machina 
city. Youll be introduced to Maechen, the scholar. Then, get the Ice Brand 
behind the ruins. If you examine the center of the ruins, youll see some Al 
Bhed writings. You may not be able to read it even on your second game. Check 
out the Al Bhed primers section of this guide for more info. Continue north. 
Youll see a short scene with the Djose Chocobo Knights. Theyll tell you about 
a fiend. When you regain control of the party, go to the ruins on the right. 
Youll meet another summoner, Belgemine. She will challenge Yuna to a summoner 
battle. Shell be using Ifrit and youll be using Valefor. This is a 1 on 1 
match so no one can interfere. After the battle, youll be given the Seekers 
Bangle. Shell also mention something about the past. After that, continue north 
to the next area.

In here, go east and get a Remedy. Continue heading east. Youll see a scene 
with Cali and about the Calm. After that, continue. Get a Red Ring on the way. 
Continue towards the next area. In here, go north and get a Level 1 Key Sphere 
and 4 Antidotes on the way. When you reach a ruin to the right, go there and get 
2000 Gil. Continue north and youll see a caravan. After that, move on. Get a 
Hi-Potion and 500 Gil on the way. Youll then see Luzzu and Gatta at the ruins 
on the right. After that, continue north and youll meet up with an acolyte, 
Shelinda. After some talking with her, continue north and get 3 Eye Drops on the 
way. When you reach a shop, go in. You may save your game here and/or buy some 
items and equipments. After that, leave the shop and outside, talk to Yuna. 
There will be a long scene with them. After that, go back inside and save your 
game. Inside, talk to the person on the left and youll receive a Level 1 Key 
Sphere. Youll also be taught on how to use the Sphere Grid. Then, youll meet 
the owner of the shop, Rin. Hell tell you more about Al Bhed and their 
language. Hell give you Vol. VIII of the Al Bhed Primer (check Al Bhed Primer 
section on this guide). Then, trouble arises outside. Youll be given 2 Mega-
Potions. Prepare for battle. Save your game then go out. Head north and youll 
meet...

################################################################################
BOSS: CHOCOBO EATER
################################################################################
HP:      10,000
AP:      90
Gil:     970
Items:   none
Equip:   Moomba Mage
Attacks: Physical Attacks, Push
Steal:   n/a

Youll need to kill the Chocobo Eater quickly if you want to defeat it. Your 
main concern is his push attack. If he manages to push you off the cliff, he 
wins. First, let Tidus cast Haste on everyone. Let the other characters attack 
or use Magic. But first, use Wakkas Dark Attack on it to blind it. Then 
immediately, use Yunas Aeons. Try to gain a full Overdrive bar so that both 
Ifrit and Valefor can use overdrive attacks. If you attacked it properly, it 
will fall on its back. This time, attack it with everything youve got to push 
it back (thus preventing you from falling down the cliff). Just keep on doing 
this until it dies. 
################################################################################

If you managed to defeat it, Rin and his assistant will thank you for dealing 
with that fiend. They will offer you a free Chocobo Ride. If did lose, your game 
wont be over yet. Youll just be using the road at the bottom. Lets continue. 
First, save your game if youd like so that your HP and MP will be replenished. 
Then, go out and talk to Rins assistant for a free Chocobo ride. Riding the 
Chocobo will stop fiends from attacking you, therefore there will be no random 
battles. Just continue until you reach the end. Youll see an intersected there. 
The path to the right is the path to the bottom road, which you would have taken 
if you lose to the Chocobo Eater. Go there and get the Mars Crest and youll 
also meet Oaka. When youre ready, to the north gate. Youll be told to 
disembark the Chocobo. You may then save your game if youd like. After that, 
talk to Summoner Dona twice. Continue north through the caravan and see Luzza 
and Gatta. After that, talk to the guy on the left. Hell ask you for donations. 
Youll be given something in return also.

100 Gil    - Scout
1,000 Gil  - Ice Lance
10,000 Gil - ?
0          - nothing

Now, talk to the Gate Captain. Just ask him about the operation. Go back and 
youll see Seymour. He will help you to pass through the gate. Now, go north to 
the next area. Youll see Seymour and the Crusaders. After that, youll see some 
scenes. When you regain control move on. Talk to people for an Ether and a Hi-
Potion. Move on and at the intersection, youll meet up with Clasko. Youll now 
have to go west.

======================
MUSHROOM ROCK - VALLEY
======================
Treasures: Hi-Potion x4, Potion x10, 1000 Gil, Remedy, X-Potion, Serene Armlet, 
Mega-Potion x2, Soft Ring, Phoenix Down x2, Ether

Youll be battling fiends again. Youll meet up with Oaka again. Move on and 
talk to people for a Hi-Potion. Use the elevator platform at the end. Talk to 
the man that youll see beside a chest. Hell give you 10 Potions. Then, examine 
the chest for 1,000 Gil. Continue and youll eventually reach another chest that 
contains a Remedy. Move on and meet up once more with Shelinda. After that, get 
another chest on the way for another Hi-Potion. At the end, use the platform to 
go up. 

Next, talk to people on the way for a X-Potion. Go west to a spiral and get the 
Al Bhed Primer Vol. 10. Then, youll see a platform to the north and one to the 
west. Use the west platform first and get the Serene Armlet. Go back up then use 
the northern platform to go up. Talk to the people again for a Mega-Potion. Now, 
talk to Gatta. Youll see a scene with him and Luzzu. Then, talk to Luzzu. Hell 
tell you more about Wakkas brother Chappu. After that, save your game and use 
the large platform to go up. Continue south to the next area. 

On top, youll see lots and lots of machina. Wakka will be mad. After more 
scenes, continue to the Command Center. Youll meet up with Gatta, who is quite 
upset. Auron will teach some something. After that, go inside and youll meet 
Maester Kinoc. After the talk, prepare your party and save your game. Then, talk 
to the guard at the lower right corner of the command center (indicated by the 
red arrow on the map). When youre ready, youll be dealing with another 
sinspawn.

################################################################################
BOSS: SINSPAWN GUI
################################################################################
HP:      12,000 (Head: 2000, Arms: 800 each)
AP:      0
Gil:     0
Items:   none
Equip:   none
Attacks: Physical Attacks, Thunder, Demi, Venom
Steal:   n/a

First, lets talk about how Gui attacks. It uses all of its parts to attack, the 
head, body and arms. The head attacks using venom and magic. Both the body and 
the arms deal quite strong physical attacks. You have to remove both its arms in 
order to be able to hit its body with physical attacks (it wont be able to 
block magical attacks to its body). Then, destroy the head immediately. Once the 
arms are gone, pummel its body as quickly as you can. You may use the Aeons to 
further deal damage to it.

Cloister of Trials.

==========================
CLOISTER OF TRIALS - DJOSE
==========================

First, put the 2 Djose Spheres on the door to open it. Go to the 2nd room. Here, 
youll see a pedestal and a symbol in the middle, 2 spheres beside the door, 
glittering panel/glyph to the left, and 2 recesses to the right. First, get the 
2 Djose Spheres beside the door and put them one by one on each of the recesses 
on the right. Push the pedestal (w/ a Djose Sphere) to the right until it 
becomes a brighter Djose Sphere. Now, take the new Djose Sphere and put it on 
the recess to the right of the north door. It will open. Then, put the 2 Djose 
Spheres (at the right recesses) both on the pedestal. Then, push it forward 
until it drops on the electric currents. The pedestal will stay afloat. Jump on 
it and push the pedestal to the north, which will activate a part of the symbol. 
After that, go back to the symbol and go left. Step on the glittering panel. The 
pedestal will now be back at the center. Now, get the New Djose Sphere and put 
it on the recess to the left of the door. Next, get the 2 Djose Spheres on the 
pedestal and put them on the recesses back in the first room. The symbol will be 
complete and you can see a platform in the center. Step on it to move on.

At the next area, just push the 5 pedestals. Go up and talk to Lulu. Then, Dona 
will appear. Youll see a scene with Barthello and Auron. After that, when you 
regain control, talk to everyone and try to leave. Yuna will come out of the 
chamber. Youll then be asked to name the 3rd aeon, Ixion.

============
DJOSE TEMPLE
============
Treasures: Hi-Potion x2, Halberd, Potion x10

Outside, talk to everyone. Then, go back inside and go to the upper right door. 
Talk to the woman beside the bed. Yuna will wake up and they will go back to the 
party. Youll see a short scene outside. When you regain control, go south and 
keep following the red indicator on the overhead map. Talk to people on the way 
for Hi-Potion x2, Halberd, Potion x10. Youll then meet up with Lucil of the 
Chocobo Knights. Just continue south afterwards. At an intersection, head north 
and youll reach the moonflow.

========
MOONFLOW
========
Treasures: X-Potion, Lv.1 Key Sphere x3, Dragon Scales x2, Summoners Soul, 
Magic Def. Sphere, Phoenix Down x2, 5000 Gil

Just continue to the Red Indicator on the map. Youll see Shelinda on the way as 
well as 2 other Ronsos who are picking on Kimahri. They will also warn about the 
missing Summoners. When you regain control, get a chest for an X-Potion. 
Continue once again and get another chest with a Level 1 Key Sphere x3 at the 
right side of the road. Then, youll meet up with Belgemine. Yuna will have to 
fight her with Aeons. Just use Ifrit and Valefor since Belgemine will be using 
the new Ixion. If you win, youll get 2 Dragon Scales and a Summoners soul. You 
can now let your Aeons learn abilities. After that, go on and get a Magic 
Defense Sphere on a narrow path on the left side of the right. Move on.

At the next area, continue north and youll see the Moonflow itself. Then, 
youll be able to see the elephant-like shoopuf. When you regain control of 
Tidus, get the Phoenix Down x2 then continue west to the next screen. Youll see 
Lucil and her knights trying to deal with the person in charge about the 
Chocobo. After that, save your game and talk to Wakka and Lulu. Then, get the 
chest behind them for 5,000 Gil. Next, talk to the driver and youll have the 
Shoopuf ride. Youll see some scenes during the ride, then Yuna will be caught 
by the Al Bhed! Tidus and Wakka will come to the rescue.

################################################################################
BOSS: EXTRACTOR
################################################################################
HP:      4,000
AP:      600
Gil:     2,400
Items:   Mega Potion x2
Equip:   Moon Ring
Attacks: Aqua Shooter, Depth Charges
Steal:   n/a

To beat the extractor, have Tidus use his Delay Attack ability to give chance to 
both him and Wakka to attack more. Not to mention, putting both of them on haste 
is a very good strategy. You just have to watch out the extractor when it pulls 
up. It is readying its Depth Charge attack which can decimate both Tidus and 
Wakka in a single blow. To prevent this, just attack the extractor until it 
comes back down.
################################################################################

Youll see more scenes on the shoopuf after that. When you reach the north 
wharf, save your game and go all the way to the west. Youll meet up again with 
Rikku. Youll see some scenes here where Rikku tells her story to the girls and 
about her being a guardian of Yuna. After that, continue north to the North 
Bank.

===================
MOONFLOW NORTH BANK
===================
Treasures: Antidote x4, Mega-Potion

On the way, youll have a weird battle. Youll see a chest. Use Rikkus steal 
ability to get its contents. Continue afterwards. Get a chest on the way for 
Antidote x4. Move on and get another chest on the way for a Mega-Potion. At the 
end, youll reach Guadosalam.

==========
GUADOSALAM
==========
Treasures: Elixir, Mega-Potion, Hi-Potion x2

Youll be greeted by Tromell Guado. He will tell you that Seymour is waiting for 
Yuna. After that, Rikku will tell you more about Customizing equipments. When 
you regain control, go inside the inn. Save your game inside. Leave the in. Go 
up and head south for a chest with an Elixir. Go to the house on the west. Get a 
Mega-Potion at the upper right corner. Dont forget also that you can recruit 
some of the Guado to play for your Blitz Ball Team. After that, go inside the 
mansion to the north. Go upstairs and get a hidden chest at the center for Hi-
Potion x2. Now, talk to everyone. Tromell will then come in and will ask you to 
go through the door below. Go inside. Talk again to everyone then Seymour will 
come in. He will show you the thoughts of the people on the farplane. Youll see 
Zanarkand and Yunalesca. Then, Seymour will whisper something to Yuna. He wants 
to marry Yuna. Everyone will be surprised. When you regain control after that 
scene, leave the mansion and go to the north east towards the Farplane. Auron 
and Rikku will stay behind. At the farplane, youll see the thoughts and 
memories of the dead. When you regain control, talk to Wakka then Lulu. Finally, 
talk to Yuna. Youll see Tidus flashbacks. After that, when you leave the 
farplane, Jyscal will try to come out. Yuna sends him. When you regain control, 
go back to the mansion. Youll see some scenes. Keep on talking to Lulu. Youll 
be asked later whom you like (I chose Lulu). After that, go down and go east to 
the path to the Thunder Plains. Youll see Shelinda. Continue. Outside, youll 
see a scene with Yuna. Youll also hear Tidus say Macarena instead of Macalania. 
Continue to the Thunder Plains.

==============
THUNDER PLAINS
==============
Treasures: Phoenix Down x2, Hi-Potion x2, Water Ball, Yellow Shield

Rikku will be very scared of the Lightning. Youll be told that you can take 
shelter at the Lightning Rod Towers. Or, you may dodge the lightning by pressing 
X just as the Lightning flashes. When you regain control, go north and get a 
chest for Phoenix Downs. Save your game. Then, get 2 Hi-Potions from a chest to 
the west of the Save Sphere.

Now, go north and youll see a Cactuar Stone. Examine it using Square. But I 
still dont know what its actual use is. At the next tower, youll see Shelinda 
again. Youll be asked about the Marriage. Now, go north and veer off to the 
east for a Water Ball. Youll see another Cactuar Stone. Continue north. Youll 
see a scene where Rikku tries to convince everyone to rest for a while. Shell 
do so. Now, inside, youll see a scene with Rin and Auron. Hell give you the Al 
Bhed Primer volume XIV. Save your game then go to Yuna. Youll see Yuna and a 
sphere. After resting, talk to Rikku. Outside, when you regain control, go north 
and get the Yellow Shield lying on the ground. Go to the next area. Youll see 
another Cactuar Stone. Continue north and youll see another stone to the right. 
Continue north towards another save sphere. Youll see a scene with Yuna talking 
about her marriage to Seymour. From here, just move on until you reach the 
Macalania Woods.

===============
MACALANIA WOODS
===============
Treasures: 2000 Gil

Save your game first. Then, use the top path first and get 2,000 Gil on the way. 
Then, youll meet up with Barthello. Hell tell you that Dona is gone. Continue 
on and youll reach a place where you can catch some Butterflies (see Butterfly 
Catching section). Just move on along the long path. At the end, save your game. 
You may also buy again from Oaka here. Move on and then Auron will show you 
something. First, youll have to fight another fiend.

################################################################################
BOSS: SPHERIMORPH
################################################################################
HP:      11,400
AP:      3,000
Gil:     3,800
Items:   Lv. 2 Key Sphere
Equip:   White Armlet
Attacks: Press, Physical and Magical Attacks
Steal:   Ether

The best way to defeat spherimorph is to use magic attacks that have an element 
opposite of that of the spherimorph. You may use Lulus Black Magic attacks. But 
the most useful perhaps are the aeons. If the spherimorph has a fire element, 
using ifrit will be a good idea since the attacks of spherimorph will just heal 
Ifrit. Ifrit can then attack until spherimorph is defeated. This goes the same 
for Ixion.
################################################################################

After that, get Jechts Sphere. Tidus will play it back. Youll see Jechts 
memories. Youll then be told that Jechts sphere are scattered throughout the 
world (see Jechts Sphere section). After that, go back. Youll have a short 
talk with Auron. Continue north. At the shop, get the Al Bhed Primer Vol. XVI 
just outside the shop wall. Move on. Youll see another scene with Tromell Guado 
here. Yuna will go to seymour alone. But then, the Al Bhed comes in again and 
tried another shot at Yuna. Youll have to fight one of their machines again.

################################################################################
BOSS: CRAWLER / NEGATOR
################################################################################
HP:      16,000 / 1,000
AP:      6,820
Gil:     6,800
Items:   Potion, Elixir
Equip:   Lifegiver
Attacks: Gatling Gun, Assault, Mana Beam
Steal:   ?

First of all, you have to take care of the Negator since it will prevent you 
from using any magical skill. Its easy since it has a pretty low HP. After 
that, use your Aeons to finish the job. If that isnt enough, use magic attacks 
(especially Thunder/Lightning) and use your strong characters (Tidus, Wakka, 
Auron) for physical attacks. 
################################################################################

Rikku will then be revealed to Wakka. After that, youll ride the snowmobiles. 
Youll see a scene where Tidus and Lulu are talking to each other on the 
snowmobile. Go to the temple.

================
MACALANIA TEMPLE
================

Youll see Shelinda inside. After that, save and then one attendants will see a 
sphere in Yunas belongings. Go to that room and youll see Jyscals message 
about Seymour. Enter the Cloister. Youll see Seymour there. Then, Yuna comes 
out and rejoins the party. Youll now have to fight Seymour.

################################################################################
BOSS: SEYMOUR / 2 Guado Guardians

HP:      6,000 / 2,000 each
AP:      7,620
Gil:     8,600
Items:   Ability Sphere x6, Black Magic Sphere x2
Equip:   Magical Armlet, Scout, Eye Popper, Reticent Staff
Attacks: Slow, Level 2 Black Magic, Level 3 Black Magic, Protect
         Anima (8,000 HP): Pain, Boost
Steal:   ?

Seymour is tough. Use 1 of your aeons (except ????) at once so that Seymour will 
be defeated. Another problem would be the guardians. They have the Auto-Potion 
ability that will automatically heal them 1000 HPs after being damaged. They 
also protect Seymour from your physical attacks. After beating Seymour, he will 
summon his aeon, Anima. Your main goal should be to finish it before its 
Overdrive becomes available. Use all your Aeons especially ????, or Shiva. After 
beating Anima, youll have to do battle with Seymour for the last time.

Strategy from: Lam aka Silpheed_EX
----------------------------------
First, to remove the Auto-Potion ability of the Guado Guardians, take Rikku and 
use her steal ability on these 2 guards and she'll "steal" the potions. So they 
can't use their potions anymore. For the first Seymour, Use all 4 guard skills 
from Yuna on your party, so Seymour's spells have no effect on you. To kill 
Anima use ???/Shiva but use only your normal attack until your overdrive is 
ready, use the blizzard spells on yourself every round in order to heal 
yourself. As for the second Seymour, use the same strategy as the first one.

################################################################################

After Seymour is defeated, youll be asked to give a name to Shiva. Save your 
game. From this point onwards, you wont be able to play blitz ball for a while. 
Dont worry, youll be able to play again later in the game. Now, go east to the 
next area. It seems that it is an easy way out but then, youll have to complete 
the Cloister of Trials.

=====================================
CLOISTER OF TRIALS - MACALANIA TEMPLE
=====================================

Here, go down. Youll see 2 Icebergs, 2 Macalania Spheres, and a Glyph Sphere. 
First, push the pedestal to the right and then up. This will break the 2 
icebergs. Now, get the glyph sphere and go down to the floor below. Put the 
Glyph Sphere on the leftmost recess. A new Macalania Sphere will appear on the 
floor above. Go up and get that sphere. Put it on the pedestal below and push it 
to the right. Youll see a part of the bridge appear. Next, go up and get the 
rightmost Macalania Sphere. Put it on the pillar on the bottom floor. Youll see 
the second part of the bridge appear. Now, go up and get the remaining Macalania 
sphere on the floor and put it in the pillar where you got the Glyph sphere a 
while ago. You can now cross the ice bridge. Note that if you step on the 
glittering floor panel on top youll be able to get a Destruction sphere. 
Putting it on the left recess on the bottom floor will reveal a treasure chest a 
bit south.

================
MACALANIA TEMPLE
================
Treasures: Level 2 Key Sphere

Now, just as you are leaving, Tromell will come in. The party will be trapped 
and framed. Everyone will run. Outside, keep on running. The Guado Guardians 
will follow you. Just defeat them when they come close. At the end, youll

Gil:     3,800
Items:   Ability Sphere x4, Power Sphere x2
Equip:   none
Attacks: Physical Attacks, Berserk
Steal:   Hi-potion

Here, just beat the 2 Guardians as quick as possible since they cast berserk on 
the Wendigo that makes it very very destructive. If possible cure Wendigo from 
Berserk and concentrate on defeating the 2 guardians. After beating them, 
concentrate all attacks on the Wendigo. It has a very strong defense. If its 
arms are on a defensive stance, it means that if you attack it, it will counter 
attack with a strong physical attack. Get your healers ready. Use Aeons as much 
as possible.
################################################################################

After that, save your game. Talk to your party members. It will be quite longer 
than usual. When you regain control, go north and get a Level 2 Key Sphere to 
the right of Kimahri. Continue. Youll see a flashback of Tidus. After that, 
youll see Sin hearing the hymn at Macalania. Youll then be able to regain 
control at the oasis.

=====
OASIS
=====
Treasures: Al Bhed Potion x24, Ether x2, X-Potion x2, Megalixir x3

Save your game here. The party will be gone for now. Just head north. During a 
battle, youll meet up with Auron and Lulu. Continue north and youll see Wakka. 
Get the Al Bhed Potion here. Continue to the next area. At an intersection, go 
east for Kimahri. After that, go back and head northwest. Continue until you 
meet Rikku. Shell tell you more as to where you are now. After that, get the 
chest here for 2 Ethers. Get another chest for an Al Bhed Potion. Save your game 
inside the machina. From here on, just follow Rikku. 

At a clearing, go west for some X-Potions. Go north and save at another Save 
Sphere. Youll see a note here. Get the chest behind for another set of Al Bhed 
Potions. Continue to the next area. You can get the chest here for 3 Megalixirs 
but youll have to fight the Sandragora. Continue north. Youll see the home of 
the Al Bhed being attacked by Bevelle.

============
AL BHED HOME
============
Treasures: Hi-Potion x2, Al Bhed Potion x6, Special Sphere, Level 2 Key Sphere, 
Level 4 Key Sphere, 10000 Gil

Youll see Cid here talking about Yuna. When you regain control go west for the 
Al Bhed Primer Vol. XIX. Then, examine a body here for 2 Hi-Potions. Go 
northeast and save your game. Then, go inside. Youll do more battles here. Just 
follow Rikku towards the underground. Below, youll see an intersection that 
goes to a couple of directions. To the north, there will be Al Bhed Potions. To 
the northeast is a compilation sphere. You also have to do battle in order to 
get the chest for the Special sphere. Go back to the intersection and go west. 
Save your game and go inside the door. Youll see the party here. Youll have to 
battle once more.  When you regain control go down. Tidus will be mad here. Just 
move on. Before entering the door below, search around for a Level 4 and a Level 
2 Key Spheres. Go inside. Youll see the Summoners here. Rikku will tell Tidus 
the truth about the Summoners and their journeys towards the final aeon. Youll 
see some flashbacks here. When you regain control of Tidus, search around for 
10,000 Gil. Go out and move on until you reach the airship.

=======
AIRSHIP
=======

Youll see more scenes again. Youll know more about the Al Bhed here. When you 
regain control, save your game then talk to everyone on board, especially to 
Auron. Then, talk to Cid again. Youll see him talking to Auron. Talk to the 
pilot. Hell tell everyone that Yuna is at Bevelle with Seymour! Prepare your 
party then save your game. Talk to your party members then go south. The ship 
will be attacked by something. Youll have to fight it first. Leave the bridge 
and go to the top floor. Youll see the giant fiend here. Talk to Rin then go 
outside to the deck. The battle begins.

Gil:     2,500
Items:   Black Magic Sphere
Equip:   Gorgon Gaze
Attacks: Photon Spray, Poison Breath, Haste, Stone Gaze, Swooping Scythe
Steal:   Water Gem

Here, you have 2 options. You may either attack Evrae from afar or move in for 
the kill. From afar, the airship will provide you with support. All you have to 
worry about is the photon spray. Just use Wakka or Lulu when fighting at a 
distance. If you decide to fight in-close, use your most powerful attackers 
(Tidus, Auron, or Wakka/Kimahri). Let Tidus cast Haste on everyone. Also, have 
Rikku on standby just in case you need those Al Bhed Potions.
################################################################################

Youll reach Bevelle afterwards.

=======
BEVELLE
=======

The airship will crash and the party will head for Yuna in amazing display of a 
FMV. Near the altar, just move on and fight through the guards. When you reach 
Yuna, youll see her try to send Seymour. But the party will be killed if she 
does it. Then, youll see something awful. Seymour will kiss Yuna! But then the 
party is still in danger. Yuna will sacrifice herself so that the party can 
escape. Youll see some scenes and a FMV. Youll then find yourselves inside the 
temple.

============================
CLOISTER OF TRIALS - BEVELLE
============================
Treasures: HP Sphere

Inside, youll see lots and lots of machina. Wakka will be the most frustrated. 
Now, go inside the trails. Here, youll have to push the pedestal in order to 
activate the moving platform. First press the X key when you reach a direction 
panel. Press at the direction here. Youll automatically go left. Now, on the 
next intersection, go left and get the Bevelle Sphere and put it on the 
pedestal. Youll have to place it on the opposite side (by turning right at the 
intersection). This will enable a new direction on the first intersection (where 
you automatically went left). Now, go to this intersection and you may now head 
north towards the next floor below. In this next intersection, go south first 
towards another floor below (3rd basement). Get the Bevelle Sphere here. Now, go 
back to the 2nd floor basement. Youll see 3 more intersections within. Go to 
the 3rd intersection and put 1 Bevelle Sphere on the recess. It will create a 
makeshift bridge. Now, go back to the 2nd intersection and get the Glyph Sphere. 
Put it at the end of the makeshift bridge at the 3rd intersection. A Destruction 
Sphere will appear. Get it and put it on the recess at the 2nd intersection. 
Now, use the 1st intersection in this floor. It will lead you to the floor 
above. 

On top, go up the stairs and get the HP Sphere. Go east from here to reach the 
Chamber of the Fayth where youll see Yuna praying to the fayth. Outside, Kinoc 
will be waiting for the party. Youll then be captured for a trial. Name Bahamut 
afterwards. Youll then be asked to save your game. 

On the next scene, youll see the trial being held. The head of trials is 
Maester Kelk Ronso. Youll see various scenes here. I wont spoil anything in 
this trial. After that, youll find yourselves controlling Yuna in Via Purifico.

============
VIA PURIFICO
============
Treasures: Elixir

First, save your game. Youll see panels with arrows here. It will be long and 
it might as well be as confusing as can be. ^_^ First, at the intersection, go 
west and go south at the next one for an elixir. Touch the glyph. Go all the way 
to the north then head right. Youll meet up with Auron. Save your game. 
Continue north and youll meet Isaaru. Yuna will have an aeon match with him.

################################################################################

HP:      n/a
AP:      none
Gil:     none
Items:   none
Equip:   none
Attacks: Various
Steal:   n/a

Isaaru will use 3-4 aeons depending on what you use. The best way is to use any 
aeon except for Bahamut. Just beat his aeons and then, hell summon Bahamut. Use 
all your remaining aeons. The best aeons against Bahamut would definitely be 
Shiva and Ixion. Or, you may use Bahamut at first and try your best to defeat 
all 4 of the other aeons. If not, hell summon Bahamut when your Bahamut 
expires. You wouldnt want to run out of aeons.
################################################################################

After the battle, youll be controlling Tidus, Wakka, and Rikku underwater. 
First, save your game and move on. The path will be straightforward. Continue 
until you reach the second save sphere. Move on and youll meet up with the 
boss.

Attacks: Stone Gaze, Photon Spray
Steal:   Healing Spring, Water Gem

Here, youll see a gate during the battle. Just hit those 2 locks and the gate 
will open giving you a chance to escape. There will be 2 gates. After the 2nd 
gate, youll be fighting Evrae Altana on the other side of the gate. This time, 
it wont be able to counter attack any of your move. But he still can use his 
abilities. Just let Tidus cast haste on everyone and let Wakka do the status 
effect attacks. As for Rikku, let here use an Al Bhed potion of necessary.
################################################################################

After that, the party will be reunited. Then and there, Seymour and his band of 
weirdos will come in. Youll see Seymour transform in front of the party. 
Kimahri will be left behind. But then, they are together in this and they should 
leave no one behind. The party decides to battle on.

         Level 1 and/or 2 Magic Attacks, Shattering Claw
Steal:   Tetra Elemental

Here, you can talk to Seymour. For Tidus, his strength will be increase and so 
does Auron. As for Yuna, itll increase her Magic Defense. First, use your aeons 
until you dont have any left. The Moritibody will borrow some HP from Seymour 
when you defeat it. It starts at 4,000 and it decreases as you defeat it. I 
suggest that you protect and shell your party members since Seymour is very 
strong. Let Auron use the breaks to ease out the battle.
################################################################################

After that, youll regain control. Talk to everyone and go south towards the 
screen. Continue until you see Kimahri. Talk to Yuna. Youll see a very long 
scene and a cool FMV of the romance between the 2. Youll also here the song for 
this game. Its in Japanese though. After that, go back to the party. Continue 
on until you reach the Calm Lands.

Treasures: Lv. 2 Key Sphere, Rusty Sword, 5000 Gil, 10000 Gil

Here, the area is very very wide. There are lots and lots of ground to cover. 
First, save your game. Youll see some scenes first. After that, go northwest 
towards a small encampment. Get a Level 2 Key Sphere behind the camp. At the 
camp, youll see more scenes with Father Zuke. After that, save then talk to 
everyone. Take note that you can play Blitz Ball once more. Now, leave the camp 
and head northeast. On the way, youll be able to see an opening at the mountain 
side. It is the training arena. (more on this on its own section in this guide). 
You may save behind the man here. The Save Sphere is inside the tent. After 
monster hunting (if you went through it), continue to the northeast until you 
reach the next area. You can also head Southeast and get 2 chests there for 
5,000 and 10,000 Gil each. Here, youll meet up with some Guado Guardians. They 
have something to fight against you.

################################################################################
BOSS: DEFENDER X
################################################################################
HP:      64,000
AP:      9,900
Gil:     3,500
Items:   Level 2 Key Sphere x2
Equip:   none
Attacks: Blast Punch, Haymaker
Steal:   Lunar Curtain

This boss is very powerful indeed. First, use Armor Break to lower its physical 
defenses. Use your aeons and let Lulu pummel Defender X with powerful Black 
Magic Attacks. Get your Phoenix Downs ready since Haymaker is almost a surefire 
kill for anyone.
################################################################################

After the battle, go near the bridge. Lulu will tell you something about a path 
below the bridge. Go under the bridge and continue west towards the next area. 
Here, save your game then go towards the entrance to a cave. Youll see a short 
scene then continue inside. Also, from the save point, if you continue south, 
youll be able to get a Rusty Sword on the way. Lets move on.

==========================
CAVERN OF THE STOLEN FAYTH
==========================
Treasures: Megalixir, Lv. 2 Key Sphere, Mega-Potion x2, MP Sphere, X-Potion x2, 
Flexible Arm

Inside the cavern, move on until you see an intersection. Go east for a 
Megalixir. Go back and head north this time. Youll see more scenes. Continue 
north and at another intersection, go east and get a Lv. 2 Key Sphere. Go back 
to the intersection and head west. Get a chest on the way for some Mega-Potions. 
Save your game and then, youll meet up with Lady Ginnem. Youll have to beat 
her.

################################################################################
BOSS: LADY GINNEM / YOJIMBO
################################################################################
HP:      n/a
AP:      0
Gil:     0
Items:   none
Equip:   none
Attacks: Wakizashi, Daigoro
Steal:   n/a

Use everything youve got. Just keep on attacking and pray that youll reach 
maximum overdrive. Just keep on pummeling yojimbo as quickly as possible so that 
he wont reach overdrive and defeat your aeons.
################################################################################

After that, youll see a floor panel that will take you to any 4 directions. 
Just face that direction (confirm it with the green arrow) and press X. Go right 
first and get a MP Sphere and an X-Potion x2. On the left, youll be able to 
acquire the Flexible Arm. After that, go to the chamber of the fayth. Here, 
youll be able to see Yojimbo. He will offer his services to you only if you pay 
his offer of around 250,000+ Gil. After that, go back to the entrance and save 
your game. Go back up and cross the bridge now towards Mt. Gagazet. Youll see 
some short scenes here. 

===========
MT. GAGAZET
=========== 
Treasures: Mega-Potion x2, Defending Bracer, Lv. 1 Key Sphere, Fortune Sphere

Here, the Ronsos will stop you from passing through since the party is branded 
as traitors to Yevon. But then, Yunas will to give spira a new hope reached the 
heart of Maester Kelk Ronso and he will then welcome the party to pass through 
the mountain. When you regain control, save your game and then continue north. 
At the next screen, Biran and Yenke wont stop the party from passing through 
except for Kimahri. Youll have to face both of them using Kimahri only.

################################################################################
BOSS: BIRAN & YENKE
################################################################################
HP:      ?/?
AP:      8,000
Gil:     3,000
Items:   Return Sphere
Equip:   Halberd x2
Attacks: Thrust Kick, Aqua Breath, Stone Breath, White Wind
Steal:   n/a

First of all, you should know that Kimahri will be able to learn lots of Ronso 
Rages from these 2. The strategy here is all about Hi-Potions. When you reach 
the critical level (yellow), use a Hi-Potion or else these 2 will be able to 
defeat Kimahri. Next, in order to beat them, concentrate attacks on 1. Then, 
only attack when they are apart from each other. Because if they are together, 
you wont be able to do much damage since the other will just block the attack. 
This will be easy but very long.
################################################################################

After the battle, youll see more scenes. Go back and save then continue north. 
Youll see the Ronso tribe sing the Hymn of Yevon. When you regain control, veer 
off to the left for some Mega-potions. Continue north. Youll see a grave of a 
previous summoner. After that, just continue towards the Red Indicator on the 
map. At an intersection, go north. Youll see Braskas Sphere. Youll view his 
memories with Jecht and Auron. Continue through the long path afterwards. Youll 
reach the 2nd grave. Continue to another intersection, go west and youll get a 
Defending Bracer there. Go back to the intersection and head north. It will be a 
long long way. Youll then meet Wantz on the way, the brother of Oaka. Move on 
to the 3rd grave. At the next intersection, go south (up). Finally, save your 
game and prepare for a tough battle ahead. Now, continue north and youll see a 
scene with Rikku and Tidus. Then, Seymour will appear and will tell you what he 
did to the Ronso. After that, the 3rd battle with Seymour begins.

################################################################################
BOSS: SEYMOUR FLUX / MORTIORCHIS
################################################################################
HP:      70,000 / varies
AP:      15,000
Gil:     6,000
Items:   Lv. 4 Key Sphere x2
Equip:   Shell Bangle
Attacks: Banish, Lance of Atrophy, Full-Life
Steal:   Elixir

Heres a new strategy. First, the Lance of Atrophy inflicts the Zombie Status on 
anyone. This is bad since you cannot heal that party member since it will just 
decrease his/her HP. You can use Holy Water if you have them. Now, before 
entering the battle, I would really suggest that you come in with your Aeons on 
full overdrive so that it is worth it to call them even if they are banished. 
Your Aeons overdrives should be damaging Seymour by a flat 9,999 by now.
################################################################################

After that, youll see more scenes here. Go to the save sphere and save. 
Continue and youll see a weird scene on the next screen. Tidus will have a 
scene on his own about the fayth and their dreams. Some very shocking 
revelations are shown here. During the dream, just continue north and youll 
talk to the fayth (fayth of Bahamut, the kid). After that, enter the door at the 
north end. Continue talking to the fayth. After that, Tidus will return back to 
the party. Continue north and save your game. Go northwest and youll reach the 
waters. Youll then have to use only Tidus, Wakka, and Rikku during the 
underwater scenes. At the water, continue towards the next screen. At an 
intersection, go north. Youll see the first trial of Gagazet. The Blitz Ball 
Challenge. Youll have to time it right that Wakka hits the center with the 
blitz ball. After successfully hitting it, get the chest for a Lv. 1 Key Sphere. 
Go back south to the previous area and save. Go north and at the intersection, 
go west through the water. Youll see the 2nd challenge of Mt. Gagazet. Youll 
have to simultaneously active the 3 nodes but the sizes should be appropriate. 
At the leftmost node, use Tidus. At the center, use Wakka. Finally at the right, 
use Rikku. Get the chest underwater for the Fortune sphere. Go back and save. 
Now, go up ad see an intersection on the left side of the screen that is 
composed of tiles of stones that makes a stone stairs. Youll see more scenes 
and youll know more about Yunalesca from Auron. Save your game at a Save Sphere 
here. Prepare your party then move on. Youll fight a fiend outside.

################################################################################
BOSS: SANCTUARY KEEPER
################################################################################
HP:      40,000
AP:      16,500
Gil:     6,500
Items:   Return Sphere
Equip:   Arc Sword
Attacks: Photon Wings, Tail Sweep, Haste, Mana Breath, Curaga
Steal:   Turbo Ether

This is another tough boss. Use Tidus slow to give you a slight advantage over 
it. Again, use your overdriven aeons. Youll most likely beat it with all your 5 
aeons. If not, just let Auron Break the Armor or the Magic Defense (Mental) and 
use physical and magical attacks.
################################################################################

After the battle, youll see more scenes. Continue on until you see Zanarkand. 
After that, Yuna will drop something and Tidus will view it. It seems like 
Braskas sphere where he says his final words. After that, keep on going until 
you reach Zanarkand itself.

=========
ZANARKAND
=========
Treasures: Fortune Sphere, Spiritual Targe

In here, there will be no enemies yet. Youll see the opening scene here that is 
the same scene you saw when you begin your game. When you regain control 
afterwards, save your game. Move on and the enemies will be back. Get a Fortune 
Sphere on the way. Get another one with a Spiritual Targe. Move on and save at 
the end. Go inside the dome.

==============
ZANARKAND DOME
==============

Inside, youll see the memories of the previous summoners and their guardians. 
Continue and save on the way. Move on and youll see Seymours. Then finally, 
youll see the memories of Braska, Jecht, and Auron. Youll see them again at 
the end. Save your game there.

Here, youll see the final cloister of trials. These trials will test your 
memory. On the first screen, youll see some shapes on the wall screen. Its 
just like the Tetris blocks. Now, there will be glittering panels on the ground 
that correspond to a particular shape. Youll need to step on those that are 
needed to complete the shapes on the monitor. After that, 6 pedestals will 
appear. 2 of them cannot be moved yet. Now, move any 1 of the 4 that can be 
moved. Go north and continue to the next room. Youll see another wall screen, 2 
spheres (lets talk about this later), and a new set of glittering floor panels. 
Now, examine the screen and the shapes will be shown among the glittering 
panels. Youll have to step on them in order to complete the puzzle. If you made 
a mistake, youll have to repeat again. You may view the wall screen if you 
cant memorize the positions yet. After that, do this to the other 5 pedestals. 
The last 2 pedestals needs the 2 Spheres. Take note that use these 2 after 
completing the first 4 pedestals. After that, save your game and examine the new 
platform in the center. A battle will commence.

################################################################################
BOSS: SPECTRAL KEEPER
################################################################################
HP:      52,000
AP:      12,000
Gil:     7,000
Items:   Lv. 4 Key Sphere
Equip:   Elemental Shield
Attacks: Berserk Claw, Glyph Mine
Steal:   ?

Here, try to move your characters so that there will be 1 space in between each 
of them. This makes the spectral keeper confused since there are 3 directions it 
needs to face. The Aeons will be very useful if they are on overdrive. But if 
not, the Glyph Mine will remove them from the playing field. That goes the same 
for your characters. If it uses the glyph mine, move to a space where there is 
no mine. This will prevent you from losing.  
################################################################################

After that, youll see more scenes and youll know the absolute truth about the 
final aeon. Now, save your game and continue on until you meet up with Lady 
Yunalesca. Shell ask you to choose 1 among your guardians to be your fayth. 
Everyone will be stunned (except for Auron of course). Youll see more scenes 
with Braska, Jecht, and Auron. After that, when you regain control, head back to 
Yunalesca and youll defy her. Youll then have to beat her in order to stop 
her.

################################################################################
BOSS: Yunalesca
################################################################################
HP:      24,000 / 2nd: 48,000 / 3rd: 60,000
AP:      19,000
Gil:     9,000
Items:   Lv. 3 Key Sphere
Equip:   Blessed Ring
Attacks: Blind, Sleep, Absorb, Hell Biter, Cura, Mega-Death
Steal:   Stamina Tablet

A good strategy against Yunalesca is to use your normal attacks and magical 
attacks in her first and second form. You may use 1 or 2 aeons if youd like but 
spare more aeons for the final encounter. Now, the Hell Biter will turn everyone 
into Zombies. Thats bad news when you talk about Cura. Just let it be and 
continue pummeling her until you fight her third and final form. Here, you will 
want to be attacked by the Hell Biter. And why is that? Its because she now has 
the Mega-Death ability that casts 100% death on everyone! If youre in Zombie 
status, it will have no effect at all. Now is the time to use your aeons. 
################################################################################

After that almost impossible feat, return back down and youll see Auron talk to 
Tidus. He will reveal his true nature and will show you his promise that he made 
to Jecht. Save your game and leave the dome. Outside, youll see Sin. Youll 
then head back to the Airship.

=======
AIRSHIP
=======

Here, talk to Cid. After some scenes, save your game. You now have a Level 3 
Save Sphere. You can now use Save Spheres to transport yourself to the Airship. 
Now, you can play Blitz again. After that, go to the top floor (before the deck) 
and talk to Yuna who is with Kimahri. Shell tell you that the best way might be 
to Bevelle and ask Maester Mika. Return to the bridge and youll hear the plan 
of Rikku. Sin might be able to be tamed for a while using the Hymn of the fayth. 
Now, talk to Cid. Youll see a map here. You can go to all of the places youve 
been through (except for some areas). Now, head for the Highroad.

=======
BEVELLE
=======

Here, youll see the new captain of the guards, Shelinda! After she leaves, 
Maester Mika will appear and you will have a long talk with him about Yunalesca 
and such. After he goes, the fayth will talk to Tidus and Yuna. When asked, 
choose the top option then chose the hymn. The fayth will remind Tidus about 
their dream coming to an end. After that, youll talk to Shelinda regarding the 
hymn. Shell tell all of Spira to sing the hymn when the flying ship starts to 
sing. Back at the airship, talk to Cid and go to Sin! Youll hear the hymn and 
Sin will appear. Get ready and go to the deck.

============
AIRSHIP DECK
============

On top, youll see a scene where Tidus shows Yuna her sphere. After that, the 
battle with Sin begins.

################################################################################
BOSS: LEFT FIN (SIN)
################################################################################
HP:      65,000
AP:      16,000
Gil:     10,000
Items:   HP Sphere
Equip:   Sidewinder
Attacks: Gravija, Negation, Physical attack (side swipe)
Steal:   Mega-Potion

This is rather easy. Just move in and do all your stuff, especially physical 
attacks of Auron and Tidus. You may use your aeons here but I suggest that you 
save it for later. First, if you use Haste or any other stat altering effects, 
Sin will use Negation against you. Itll remove those status. Beware also of 
Sins Gravija attack, which cuts off around 80-90% of your current HP.
################################################################################

After that battle, Cid will sever the arm of Sin. Now, youll have to do it 
again with the other arm.

################################################################################
BOSS: RIGHT FIN (SIN)
################################################################################
HP:      65,000
AP:      17,000
Gil:     10,000
Items:   Lv. 3 Key Sphere
Equip:   Rock Buster
Attacks: Same
Steal:   Mega-Potion

As for the Right Fin, just do the same strategy you did on the other fin of Sin.
################################################################################

After the final battle with the fins, youll have to target sins weakpoint 
itself. A battle begins anew.

################################################################################
BOSS: SINSPAWN GUNAIS & SIN
################################################################################
HP:      20,000 / 36,000
AP:      29,700
Gil:     20,000
Items:   Return Sphere x2, MP Sphere x2
Equip:   Blessed Bracer, Light Bangle
Attacks: Venom, Level 1 Magic, Gravija
Steal:   Star Curtain

In this battle, concentrate on attacking the Sinspawn so that youll have a 
clear shot at Sin. You may now use your Aeons to help you beat these 2. As for 
their attacks, youre most likely used to getting poisoned and having your HPs 
at a very critical stage. 
################################################################################

After those intense battles, Sin will finally go down. At the airship, save your 
game. Then, go to the deck and talk to Yuna. Youll see some scenes here. After 
that, Rikku will tell them that something is happening to Sin. Sin transforms 
and is now waiting for Tidus. Go back and save then go to the deck for the 
confrontation with Sin.

################################################################################
BOSS: SIN
################################################################################
HP:      140,000
AP:      20,000
Gil:     10,000
Items:   Lv. 3 Key Sphere
Equip:   Echo Bangle
Attacks: Physical Charges
Steal:   ?

This is an ultra-hard fight, if you dont know what to do. I used aeons and it 
didnt work since the Overdrives take too much time and Sin will be able to open 
its mouth and unleash its 100% win attack. Follow this strategy that I used. 
Before the battle, put Tidus, Auron, and Yuna. Then, have Tidus cast Hastega on 
everyone. Sin will still be approaching at this point. Now, let Yuna cast 
Protect on everyone and after that, exchange Yuna for Wakka. Let Tidus cast 
haste on him. By this time, Sin should be close enough to be attacked 
physically. Let Auron use Armor Break and Mental Break (a preparation for your 
final attack against Sin) and let Tidus and Wakka hack and attack Sin. When 
Sins HP is around 18,000 left, let Yuna come in and let her cast Bahamut in 
Overdrive (do not call him when he is not in overdrive or else this final attack 
wont work and Sin will banish everyone). This will defeat Sin.
################################################################################

After that, the party goes inside Sin. Youll have to find and defeat the source 
of this whole mess. Inside, save your game. Just continue on towards the next 
Save Sphere that is just beside the stairs leading up. On the way, watch out for 
the tough enemies. The road is also hard to see due to the heavy fogging. Once 
you reach the save sphere, prepare your party. On top, guess whos waiting for 
you.

################################################################################
BOSS: SEYMOUR OMNIS
################################################################################
HP:      80,000
AP:      36,000
Gil:     13,000
Items:   Lv. 3 Key Sphere x3
Equip:   Malleable Staff
Attacks: Dispel, Ultima, Level 3 Magic attacks
Steal:   ?

Seymour is not that hard. You just have to know what element he is using. Youll 
see 4 reels around Seymour and each of them has 4 spheres that correspond to an 
element. Example, if all 4 reels point the red sphere (which is fire) on 
Seymour, he will attack using Firaga 3 or more times in a single turn. Apart 
from that, those magical attacks are very powerful that it is possible to get 
all your party members defeated. Now, to get around this one. Let Yuna cast the 
Nul Magic attacks depending on the element. Let Tidus cast haste too. If you 
already have Ultima and Holy you should be able to beat him easily. As for the 
aeons use all of them (in Overdrive) except for the one with the same element as 
his because it will just heal him. This will be a test for your knowledge and 
mastery of the elements.
################################################################################

After that battle, Yuna finally sends the repentant Seymour. He realizes that he 
isnt capable. After that, go back and save, and then move on. From here on, the 
path will be straightforward again. Move on until you reach the next and final 
save point in the game! Prepare your party now as youll will face the toughest 
opponent yet. When youre ready, head north and youll see something drop from 
the sky. Examine the large glyph and youll be taken to a weird place. Here, 
youll need to get the spheres that appear. There are 10 of them. Apart from 
that, there are spikes that come out of the ground. If they hit you, youll have 
to do battle with the strong fiends again. When you receive all 10 (which are 
mostly equipments), youll reach the final area. Move on and youll see Jecht 
waiting for you. Youll see a very long scene between him and Tidus. After that, 
the most crucial battle will begin.

################################################################################
BOSS: BRASKAS FINAL AEON
################################################################################
HP:      1st: 60,000 / 2nd: 120,000 / Yu Pagoda: variable
AP:      no more
Gil:     no more
Items:   no more
Equip:   no more
Attacks: Palm Attack, Jecht Beam, Triumphant Grasp, Jecht Bomber and
         Ultimate Jecht Shot 2
         Pagodas: Power Wave, Curse, Osmose
Steal:   n/a

This is definitely the final battle and the toughest battle in the game. The Yu 
Pagodas are tough opponents themselves and should not be overlooked. Let me 
explain how the Pagodas work. First, they have 9999 HP. When they stop and then 
revived, their HP will depend on how much damage they acquired before they 
stopped previously. Therefore, youll need to finish them off with an attack of 
not more or not less that 9,999. This feat can be accomplished by the following: 
Overdrive of Aeons, Ultima, Flare, and Holy. If you attack it with Bahamut, it 
will get damaged by around 20,000. When the pagodas act again, they will have 
20,000 HPs. When they use Power Wave, they replenish the final aeons HP by 1500 
and increases its Overdrive bar.

Lets move on to the aeon. Its attacks are tremendously powerful, especially the 
palm attack. So, let Tidus cast Hastega and have everyone on Protect and Shell. 
Do not use your Aeons yet. Leave it for the Second Form of the Final Aeon. 

As for the second form, the Final aeon will be faster and stronger now that it 
has a huge sword in hand. You may want to use the talk command now when its 
overdrive is full. You wouldnt want to see how much damage the Ultimate Jecht 
Shot will do. Use your aeons also. Use Bahamut later since it will give more HPs 
to the pagodas and thus, they will be hard to beat. Just continue on your 
barrage of Ultima, Holy, and Flare. Good Luck!
################################################################################

After that intense battle, you can relax since youve practically finished the 
game already. After that, youll see more scenes about Jecht and the Fayth. The 
final battle with Yu Yevon will commence.

################################################################################
BOSS: FINAL AEONS, YU YEVON
################################################################################
HP:      YU YEVON: 99,999 / AEONS: Varies
AP:      no more
Gil:     no more
Items:   no more
Equip:   no more
Attacks: Varies, Yu Yevon: Osmose, Curaga, Gravija
Steal:   n/a

This is very easy but long. You wont this one since everyone has an Auto-Life 
ability with them. First, youll be fighting all your Aeons, 1 by 1. To beat 
them easily, you may use Yunas Holy or Ultima, or Lulus Flare. The HP of the 
aeons is the same as how much HPs theyve had when theyre still with Yuna. 
After beating all the aeons, youll finally have the battle against Yu Yevon 
itself. The best party here is Tidus, Yuna and Lulu. First, let Tidus cast 
Hastega. Then, cast reflect on Tidus and Yevon. If you attack Yevon, it will 
cast Curaga on itself. Thus, if you it Reflects from him, it will heal your 
party. Next, you cant hit him with magic on the other hand. Youll need to cast 
them on Tidus (who is in Reflect Status). It will hit either Yevon or the Yu 
Pagodas. Again, do not hesitate to use Megalixirs since this is the final battle 
in the game.

Strategy from: TooSkillful4U@aol.com
-------------------------------
Ever wonder of any other way to get past around Yevons Curaga? Well, you can 
just cast Zombie on Yu Yevon and let him kill himself since his Curaga will 
damage him, a lot.
################################################################################

After that final battle with the source of this whole mess, youll be treated to 
the endings scenes for the game. The FMVs are quite emotional and very touching. 
Watch out also for a short FMV after the credits. That is all. Congratulations 
on finishing the best RPG for the PS2 to date, Final Fantasy X. Thank you very 
much for reading. Hope you enjoyed the game as well as the guide. Cya!

                             AL BHED PRIMERS
                     =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Would you want to learn the Al Bhed language? Lucky for you there are Al Bhed 
Primers scattered through out the world. Each of them correspond to an 
equivalent Alphabetic character. There are 26 of them all (total letters of the 
alphabet) and you need to compile them so that the subtitles and voices will 
change depending on the letters youve discovered so far. Those letters in Red 
are already translated. In order to compile them, youll need to go to the Al 
Bhed Compilation Spheres. It will save your Al Bhed dictionary. Also, you will 
have a rank based on how many Primers you have discovered so far.

                     =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Scattered throughout Spira are some hidden writings that are written in the Al 
Bhed Language. You must have acquire at least 12-15 Primers in order to have a 
clue as to what the letters denote. Here are the clues Ive found so far.

                           ALL ABOUT CHOCOBOS
                     =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The Chocobo is an integral part of any Final Fantasy game. Its been around ever 
since the first game for the NES arrived. These cutesy birds are one of the best 
form of transportation in the game since they are fast and there are no enemy 
encounters while you are riding them. Later in the game, (specifically, when you 
reach Sin) youll be able to train them and engage in mini-games. Head for the 
camp at the Calm Lands and youll see the trainer just outside the entrance. You 
can train your Chocobo now and receive some prices once you achieve records. 
Here are the mini-games. Take note that during your first time, there will only 
be 1 game, the Wobbly Chocobo. Once youve met the quota time, youll unlock the 
2nd mini-game. That goes the same for the third and the final game. As for the 
prizes, youll receive prizes every time you beat your personal best record for 
that particular training.

===================
CHOCOBO TRAINING #1
===================
WOBBLY CHOCOBO

Here, your main goal is to reach the finish line at the end. You must lead your 
Chocobo in between the trainer and his Chocobo. Sounds easy right? Well, the 
Chocobo is still wild and thus, it wont go in a straight line. Instead, it will 
go left or right randomly and you have to maintain control so that youll reach 
the finish line. Just use left or right on the D-pad to control the Chocobo.

                     =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Jechts Spheres are spheres where Jecht left his memories. They are scattered 
all over Spira. Here is the list of the spheres.

                     =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

On the east side of the Calm Lands, youll be able to find a trainer there that 
managed a training arena. Unfortunately, he doesnt have any fiends at first. 
You now have to catch those fiends for him. There are 9 fiends in the Calm Lands 
area and youll have to catch all of them first in order to open the training 
arena. In order to catch a monster, you have to defeat that monster with a 
special type of weapon. You can buy them from the trainer and they have the 
ability Capture. You can capture 10 of each kind of fiends. Take note that 
mechs (machina) are not fiends.

After completing the Calm Land fiends, youll be able to receive 60 Farplane 
Winds. You can then battle the new type of fiend the trainer made from the 
monsters. Chimerageist. There are more to come for each part of Spira.

                                BLITZ BALL
                     =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

=====================
a. What is Blitzball?
=====================
Blitz Ball is an addictive and fun ball game held inside a giant water sphere. 
Here, players pass and shoot the blitz ball and their goal is to shoot as many 
goals into the opponents net. Blitz Ball has been in Spira for generations and 
it is the major entertainment for everyone.

========================
b. Rules and Regulations
========================
The rules are simple, youll just have to put the ball in the opponents court 
by shooting. Just remember that the game revolves greatly in Mathematics. Youll 
have to compute the stats of the characters while performing actions. It will 
determine its success. Also, there are no fouls in the game. ^_^ So dont worry 
about getting tough out there.

=============
c. Game Modes
=============

League Mode
-----------
In the League mode, youll play a total of 10 games. There will be prizes for 
the top 4 teams so try your best to win as many games as possible. The opponents 
will be picked at random so dont worry about any team battle sequences. After 
the 10 games, the teams will be given its final rank and the top player (most 
shots) will also be given a prize.

Tournament Mode
---------------

                          ------------------ Team A
                         |
           --- Team A ---                --- Team B
          |              |              |
          |               --- Team B --- --- Team C
Champ ----
          |               --- Team D --- --- Team D
          |              |              |
           --- Team D ---                --- Team E
                         |
                          --- Team F ------- Team F

              --------- Team B
             |
3rd Place ---
             |
              --------- Team F

The illustration above shows how the tournament is held. First, Team A and Team 
F are seeded and will move on to the Quarterfinals at once. Teams B,C,D,E 
however, will duke it out on the first round. Then, the 4 winners will battle it 
out. The 2 losers will go to the losers bracket (below) to fight for 3rd place. 
The 2 remaining (undefeated) teams will duke it out for Championship and 2nd 
place.

Exhibition
----------
Here, youll have a chance to battle other teams in a fun game. There will be no 
records here so it will be ok if you either win or lose. You also wont be able 
to gain experience for your character but you can learn techniques here.

==================
d. Character Stats
==================

Speed (SPD) - determines how fast the character can move in the water

Endurance (END) -  determines how much beating the character can endure before 
losing the ball.

Pass (PA) - this shows the ability (or the length) of the pass a particular 
character can do.

Shoot (SH) - this determines how good the shooting ability of the character is. 
The higher this stat, the longer the distance he/she can shoot.

Hit Points (HP) - the life of the character. It depletes when one holds the ball 
and if it reaches 0, that character will be unable to act or move.

Attack (ATK) - the power of the attacker during encounters/breakthroughs.

Block (BLK) - this shows the ability of the character to block passes or shots 
made while in encounter mode.

Catch (CAT) - this shows the ability of the goalie to catch a shot goal from the 
opponent.

==========
e. Actions
==========

Dribbling
---------
Just like in basketball, dribbling is when you handle the ball and try to take 
it to the opponents court. The only difference is that here in Blitz Ball, you 
just have to hold the ball.

Passing
-------
Passing is the act of throwing the ball at your teammate. During passing, the PA 
stat is taken into consideration. As the ball swoops through the water, it loses 
PA gradually. If it reaches 0, the pass will be incomplete. If it is at least 1, 
the receiver will be able to catch it. 

Shooting
--------
Shooting is the act of kicking/throwing the ball into the opponents net. The SH 
stat comes into play. While swooping through the water, again, it loses SH 
gradually. When it reaches the goalie, it will be compared to his/her CA (Catch) 
stat. If the CA is higher than your SH, the goalie will be able to catch it. If 
your SH is higher, on the other hand, your shot will be successful.

===========================
f. Encounters/Breakthroughs
===========================

Encounters happen when the player with the ball is confronted with 1 or more 
opposing player. The player with the ball chooses not to breakthrough but rather 
perform either a shot or a pass. Take note that BL (block) abilities of the 
opposing players will hinder the shot or pass. He can then use some abilities. 

If the player with the ball chooses to Breakthrough, his EN (Endurance) stat 
comes into play. It will be compared to the opposing players ATK (Attack). If 
the ATK is higher, the opposing player will acquire the ball. If not, the player 
will keep it. Sometimes, HP comes into play. If the HP is the opposing player is 
too high, there will still be a chance to get the ball even if the ATK is lower.

=============
g. Techniques
=============
Techniques are different abilities that you can use during the play. Each have 
their own effect and consequences (drop in HP or a status ailment). They can be 
learned through Techcopying or by winning an entire Tournament or a League. Here 
is a list of the Techniques found in the game.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technique List
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name              | Description/Effect                 | Acquirement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jecht Shot        | Available for Tidus,it is the most | Complete Jecht Shot 
                  | impressive shot of the game.       | Challenge
                  | Costs 120 HP, adds 5 to SH         |
Sphere Shot       | A powerful shot that give the      | Tidus Initial Tech
                  | shooter a random amount of SH      |
                  | increase. Costs 90 HP              |
Venom Shot        | Inflicts poison status on blockers | Techcopy
                  | Adds +3 to SH, costs 30 HP         |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

===========
h. Techcopy
===========
Techcopy happens when your player successfully copies a technique of a player. 
Always remember that you have to mark that player first in order to learn the 
tech. Now, to learn a tech, when the words Techcopy! appears on the upper part 
of the screen (just as the opponent performs the tech), press X at once. There 
are various factors that affect techcopying. First, if you press early or too 
late, you cannot learn it. It must be a single press on the X button, at the 
right time. Also, if you have a lower level than that character, it will be most 
likely that youll fail to learn the tech.

===================
i. Team Information
===================

Al Bhed Psyches
---------------
The Al Bhed Pysches arent good shooter but rest-assured, youll have tons of 
problems with their goalie which can even catch a good Sphere Shot. They are 
also on par with your team when it comes to breakthroughs. The players are also 
fast and they have strategy. For me, they are the hardest to beat.

Besaid Aurochs
--------------
Your team is weak compared to the others but you have a good goalie (Keepa) and 
an excellent shooter (Tidus). If you managed to get the Jecht Shot, Tidus will 
be unstoppable.

Guado Glories
-------------
The Guado Glories move very quickly in the water. They are good passers but they 
have low HP. Their goalie is also easy to shoot around.

Kilika Beasts
-------------
The Kilika beast are the weakest among the computer teams. They have average 
shooters, passers and goalie. They are also easy to breakthrough. Their 
advantage is that they can easily block passes and shots and they have an ample 
amount of techniques. 

Luca Goers
----------
The Luca Goers is an excellent team. They excel in all fields. But then, a high 
leveled Tidus will bring them down. 

Ronso Fangs
-----------
Talk about strength and HP! They can easily take on 3 men during breakthroughs. 
They also have good passing and catching skills. Their weaknesses are their 
shooters and their goalie. And, most importantly, you can always outrun them 
since they are so slow.

==================
j. Status Ailments
==================

Poison
------
During Poison status, the character loses HP while moving around with the ball 
much faster than normal status.

Sleep
-----
During Sleep, the character cant move or act. To wake him/her up, just wait 
until he/she wakes up or, pass the ball to him/her (this will give the ball to 
the enemy though).

Wither
------
During wither status, one stat (either HP, ATK, or any other) will be halved 
temporarily. It will return back to normal after time lapses.

=====================
k. Character Level Up
=====================
Character Level Ups are what you should aim for. They improve your characters 
performance during games. To level up a character, just keep him active in the 
playing field and when the game is in Half Time or the Game Ends, your 
characters will gain more experience and eventually level up. You can only level 
up your characters in the Tournament or the League Mode.

=============
l. Strategies
=============

1. Mark Players who are weaker than yours or those who have an ability to learn. 
This will give you defensive and offensive advantage. 

2. If youre going for a shot, try to evade any opposition and do your best to 
go to the opponents goal as near as possible. 

3. Passing is the key element of the game. This will set you up for a play. You 
may pass a ball to a far player and let him/her lure the opponents to him. Make 
sure that he has a good passing ability also and make sure that you have a 
shooter near the goal. When the opponents close in, pass it to your shooter for 
a more clearer shot at the goal.

4. Try to learn as many techniques as you can. These will help you throughout 
your games and most of them will give you a fair advantage over stronger 
players.

=============
m. Prize List
=============

Tournament Prizes
-----------------
Overdrive Attack Reels (for Wakka)
Spheres (every variety)
Hi-Potions
Remedies

League Prizes
-------------
Spheres (every variety)
Antidotes

=====================
n. Blitz Ball Secrets
=====================

Center Attack Formation
-----------------------
In order to acquire this formation for your team, youll need to reach Team 
Level 2. To do this, you have to win 5 games in the league or the tournament 
mode.

The Jecht Shot
--------------
If youve completed the Jecht Shot Challenge on the S.S. Liki before reaching 
Luca, Tidus will automatically learn this technique. This technique is so 
powerful it will be most likely to have a 90% success rate. First, the SH stat 
will be increased by 5. The most useful aspect of the Jecht Shot is that if you 
have 2 blockers, you dont have to break through. Just shoot the Jecht Shot over 
them. Tidus will put them out of commission and youll have a full SH on the 
goalie. If you have 3 or more defenders, the 3rd defender will deplete your SH. 
Even though it costs 120 HP, it is worth it.

                               GAMEPLAY TIPS
                          =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

1. When you see a save point or given a chance to save, do save your game. You 
wouldnt know whats in store for you ahead. 

2. Always stock up on important items such as Potions so that when you need to 
heal and you dont have MPs anymore, you can always have something to turn to.

3. Always try to move through the Sphere Grid so that your characters will have 
more abilities and they will also be much more powerful in the future battles. 

4. Always remember the Elements. Use Magic attacks opposite the element of the 
enemy in order to deal maximum damage.

5. Talk to people. Sometimes, they give valuable information and even items.

6. Search every nook and cranny to discover hidden (and sometimes powerful) 
items.

                               FANTASY TRIVIA
                          =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

As the 10th installment in the Final Fantasy series, the game brings about a lot 
of references to the previous Final Fantasy games and even some of the other 
squaresoft games. They might be just a resemblance or they might even be a 
comeback from the past. Nevertheless, it is good to know some facts like this 
since it will make you reminisce on the previous games.

1. Seymour looks nearly like Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII. Although Seymour 
isnt as cool as Sephiroth came to be.

2. The summons are back, this time, they are called Aeons. Some made it back 
such as Ifrit, Shiva, and Bahamut. And some have disappeared.

3. Again, Cid appears as the Technology expert. He once again made the airship 
in the game. 

4. Chocobos made it again and was never left out ever since the first final 
fantasy. 

5. The famous Biggs and Wedge is back again, this time, a theyre blitz ball 
player. They have been seen in FF3, FF6, FF7, FF8 (as far as I remember). Again, 
to those who do not know, they are pilots in Star Wars.

6. The 3 level magic (fire, fira, firaga, etc.) made a comeback after Final 
Fantasy VIII. It is also present in another non-RPG Squaresoft game, Chocobo 
Racing.

specific type of job.

                                OTHER STUFF
                          =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Its back! Ill be applying these fun stuff into the guide, again, to give a 
different perspective of the game. You can learn and have fun at the same time. 
These are just minor sections of the game where gameplay doesnt come into play.

                              WORDS OF WISDOM

This section contains different statements, which are excerpts from the game. 
The statements that will be included here are those that you can learn a 
lesson from, those that we can apply in our lives, and those that touch the 
hearts of the gamers out there. Also includes simple, yet interesting 
statements.

1. Every story must have an ending.
   ,Auron (Luca)

2. No matter how dark the night , morning always comes. And our journey begins 
anew.
   ,Lulu (Djose)

3. If there is a will, there is a way.
   ,Captain Lucil (Moonflow)

                              SCENES OF HUMOR

This section particularly focuses on scenes that make you laugh and ease your 
seriousness in the game. One thing to remember is that this is really 
intended to be a funny scene, and its not a mistake.

1. When Tidus told everyone about Maester Mika. He pronounced it as Mister 
(pronounced Mayster) Maeka. 

2. Tidus mentioned Macarena instead of Macalania back at Guadosalam.
