_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter One: Ronso Rage

<ID001>
_______________________________________________________________________________
This will cover how to get each one of Kimahri's Overdrives.

First, to get any Ronso Rage Overdrive, you must use Lancet. Lancet, when
used by any Ronso, allows that Ronso to steal "enemy skills" or "blue magic"
from an enemy.
Once you've used Lancet on an enemy, you have a chance of learning one of their
skills. There are only twelve (bummer, I would have liked a lot more!) to
learn. If you suceed at learning one of these enemy skills, your Overdrive
bar will instantly fill up, allowing you to use the new skill right away.
Check out the below table for a listing on how to acquire each of Kimahri's
Ronso Rage attacks. I haven't seen a guide on where to find all the enemies
that you need, so this will probably prove to be quite useful:

There you have it.
There are a bunch of Ronso Rages you can learn from the Al Bhed home, but if
you miss them there, don't worry. Every Rage can be learned, at any time.
Watch out for Malboro and Great Malboro, they are extremely annoying to fight,
as they often confuse your characters.
In addition to those monsters having learnable Ronso Rages, two other Ronsos,
Yenke and Biran, also can teach you moves when you battle them on Mt. Gagazet.
The moves the other Ronsos teach you:
Biran
=====
Doom
Mighty Guard
Self Destruct
Thrust Kick
Yenke
=====
Aqua Breath
Fire Breath
Stone Breath
White Wind
You'll notice you can grab EIGHT Ronso Rages in one battle by using Lancet on
both Biran and Yenke. And since your Overdrive bar immediatly charges after
you steal an enemy skill, it is not a bad tactic to Lancet both Ronsos and then
unleash their skills right back at them.
You may be wondering what each of these moves do. Here is a listing:
Skill
=====
Jump
Result
======
Non-elemental damage to one enemy
Fire Breath
Fire damage to all enemies
Seed Cannon
Non-elemental damage to one enemy
Self Destruct
Non-elemental damage to one enemy; sacrifices Kimahri in

exchange to the large amount of damage done; Kimahri
is removed from battle (much like Self Destruct works
on Bombs, Grenades, Puroboros, etc)
Thrust Kick
Non-elemental damage to one enemy; will not eject an enemy
Stone Breath
Petrifies all enemies
Aqua Breath
Water damage to all enemies
Doom
Casts Doom on one enemy
White Wind
Heals enetire party one half of Kimahri's current HP
Bad Breath
Random status effects on all enemies
Mighty Guard
Casts Protect, Shell, and Null-All on entire party
Nova
Non-elemental damage to all enemies; most powerful Rage
That is a list of all Ronso Rage skills and their effects.

Now, for some frequently asked questions:
Q: I missed Nova from Omega Weapon. Can I get it again?
A: Yes, you can get it from Nemesis. Read on to another section to learn
how to unlock Nemesis, the hardest enemy in the entire game.
Q: What is Kimahri's best Ronso Rage?
A: The most powerful Rage is Nova. Mighty Guard is very useful, though, if
you're characters have low defense.
Q: Do I get anything for unlocking all twelve Ronso Rages attacks?
A: No.
That covers Ronso Rages entirely. Every single detail about them has been
written down.
If you have a question not answered by this section, you may e-mail me, but
chances are it is in here.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Two: Bushido and Jecht Spheres

<ID002>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Auron's overdrive mode is Bushido. He has the ability to unleash a set of

powerful, one hit attacks, as Tidus collects Jecht Spheres around the world of
Spira. Auron's four attacks are inputted with the D-Pad, not the Analog Stick:
Dragon Fang: Left Down Up Right L1 R1 X O
==========================================
This attack attempts to slightly delay all the enemies' next attack, while
still inflicting damage.
Shooting Star: Triangle O Square X Left Right X
===============================================
This attack attempts to eject one enemy from battle, while doing a lot of
damage. It becomes available after the Spherimorph battle at Macalania, when
you view your first Jecht Sphere.
Banishing Blade: Up L1 Down R1 Right Left Triangle

==================================================
Auron's best overdrive attack. Auron hits one enemy and adds four Break Status
effects to that enemy: Power Break, Armor Break, Mental Break, Magic Break.
These effects hit 100% of the time, unless a character is 100% resistant to a
particular Break. Extremely useful in the Monster Arena, against armored
enemies. Collect three Jecht Sphere to unlock Auron's Banishing Blade.
Tornado: X Right R1 Left L1 Triangle
====================================
Tornado sucks all enemies into a whirlpool of fire for massive damage. Unlock
this by collecting all ten spheres Jecht left around Spira.
Jecht Sphere Locations
======================
Where you can find every Sphere left behind by Auron, Jecht, and Braska:
01 - Macalania Lake, after Spherimorph battle. Collecting this sphere allows
you to collect the rest of the spheres.
02 - Besaid Village, near the Besaid Temple, on the steps. A dialog about
Jecht wanting to eat an entire shoopuf.
03 - SS Liki, bound to Kilika, in the cabin. A dialog about navigating through
the seas at night.
04 - Luca Stadium Basement A, near a locker room. Jecht's message to Tidus
about blitzball.
05 - Mi'hen Highroad, down below on the Lowroad or Oldroad. Use chocobo
transportation.
06 - Mushroom Rock Road, near a rising platform.
07 - Moonflow, near the Shoopuff boarding dock. A conversation about Jecht's
shame..
08 - Thunder Plains South, close to a lightning rod tower on the right side.
09 - Macalania Forest South, right near the entrance.
10 - Mt. Gagazet Mountain Road, on a trail that lead to a dead end.
That's everything about Auron's Bushido overdrive that you could imagine. Keep
in mind, that when performing his attacks, if you fail to input the correct
button sequence, your attack will not have the special effects, such as Break
or an eject attempt, added to the attack. The faster you press the buttons,
the more damage Auron will deal.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Three: Jecht Shot

<ID003>
_______________________________________________________________________________
The Jecht Shot is Jecht's ultimate shot. It is an amazing blitzball technique

for Tidus to learn, as well. When Jecht Shot is performed, Tidus will hit the
ball off of two defenders (effectively stopping them from blocking his shot)
and then add a few shot points onto the ball as it goes flying at the goalie.
On your way to Luca, from Kilika, you'll have the chance to learn Jecht Shot.
If you should fail, you can always board the boat towards Luca again.
Find the blitzball on the ship's deck and interact with it.
To learn the Jecht Shot, you need to press the D-Pad buttons in the direction
the words appear on screen. For example, if a comment appears on the top right
corner of the screen, press up-right on your PS2 D-Pad. It's not hard.
Once you actually begin playing blitzball regularly in tournaments, you'll have
a chance to learn Jecht Shot 2. Jecht Shot 2 knocks away three defenders and
then turns the ball invisible! Once the ball is invisible, you can use the
control stick to line up the ball (represented by a tiny purple dot) and aim
the ball into the net, away from the goalkeeper.
Before you can learn Jecht Shot 2, however, Tidus must have learned ALL of his
Key Techniques. DO NOT TRY LEARNING IT IF TIDUS DOES NOT HAVE ALL OF HIS KEY
TECHNIQUES!
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Four: [Break HP Limit]

<ID004>
_______________________________________________________________________________
[Break HP Limit] allows a character to have up to 99999 HP when the

auto-ability is on that user's current armor.
To customize [Break HP Limit] onto an armor, you'll need 30 Wings To
Discovery. Read on to learn how to get Wings To Discovery:
a) Overkill Shinryu: If you overkill Shinryu (an incredibly easy Monster Arena
enemy), you'll get two Wings To Discovery. This is the way I would strongly
recommend.
b) Open Three Chests During Remien Race: If you can open three chests, and beat
the other chocobo to the end of the Remien Chocobo Race, you'll earn THIRTY
Wings To Discovery. AWESOME! Too bad you can only do this once.
c) Bribe Malboro: If you bribe Malboro for 540,000 gil you could get two
Wings To Disovery. Be sure to save before you bribe, in case something
goes wrong. You can also bribe Great Malboro, but it is certainly not
worth the money. Malboro is the best to bribe.
[Break HP Limit] armors are also dropped by these enemies: Omega (one time
chance) or the ultimate monster creation, Nemesis. Nemesis is extremely tough,
tougher than any boss in the game, but he will often drop [Break HP Limit]
armors with three other slots free.
Onto some common questions:
Q: If I have more than 9999 HP worth of Sphere Grid Nodes activated, but I do
not have [Break HP Limit] yet, will the game remember the nodes that put me
over 9999 HP, so that when I get [Break HP Limit] I will have more HP?
A: Yes, the game 'remembers' your HP. Don't worry.
Q: How much HP can you max out with?
A: The most HP any one character can have is 99,999.
That's everything you could want about [Break HP Limit].
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Five: Al Bhed Passwords

<ID005>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Most people have inputted the the three hidden Al Bhed passwords into the
Airship Password Database. However, few people actually know how to get these
passwords, other than reading a guide or FAQ. This will explain how to get the
passwords yourself.
If you're wondering what the three Al Bhed Passwords are, they're:
VICTORIOUS
MURASAME
GODHAND
They must be inputted with capital letters into the airship password system.
If you're curious on how these passwords were cracked, check out the following
areas. It's all deeply explained.
How VICTORIOUS Was Cracked
==========================
First, you'll need to have most of the Al Bhed Primers. If you don't have them
all, you'll need to use an Al Bhed guide to translate things your missing. The
second step is to go to Besaid and read the clue there:
Kilika and Bikanel join as one.
Then read the clue in the beginning for the Kilika forest:
tepswrs
VCOIU
It makes little sense, right? Well go to the Sanubia Desert next. Read that
clue:
hasod i
ITROS
Put it together. You'll wind up with something weird looking:
tepswrsVCOIU
hasodiITROS
If you read it in a diaganol kind of way you'll end up with:
thepasswordisVICTORIOUS
Therefore: The password is VICTORIOUIS. Pretty neat, huh? That one wasn't too
hard to figure out. Neither is the next one.
How MURASAME Was Cracked
========================
To get the Murasame password, head to the Baaj Temple. It's the place where you
get Anima. Head back to the area where you first find Tidus floating in the
water. Find the clue that reads:
In the land where bolts of light
Illuminate the blackest night
With Macalania behind
The fourth pillar you sight
Look not on the left
But on the right
The land where bolts of light illuminate the blackest night is, obviously, the
Thunderplains. But Macalania at your back and then check out the fourth pillar
on your right.
Bingo. You'll find that the password is MURASAME. The next one might be
tricky.
How GODHAND Was Cracked
=======================
Stay focused, as this gets pretty complicated at parts.
On the Highroad (closest to Luca), find this clue:
There is a valley in a vast plain with a great thorn beside.
From the thorn look cross the vale to the other side.
Head to the Calm Lands, the only plains with a thorn. Near the gorge you'll
find this clue:
With the Vale at your back go fortynine.
Then seven to the right in the truest line.
Now face south, which is opposite the vale. Do exactly as each instruction
tells you:
[A stone gives this clue]: Right sixteen and right four
[A stone gives this clue]: With me at your back go twenty, then twenty to the
right.
[A circle gives this clue]: Continue on. Find me.
After that clue, go to the next circle. It's near the thorn.
Time for the password: GODHAND. A lot of work, but not too hard. Just
concentrate!
There you have it. How to crack those mysterious Al Bhed Passwords you took
for granted.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Six: Dark Matter

<ID006>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Many people wonder where they can get Dark Matter. Read on.
There are only a handful of ways to get Dark Matter. Other than the ways I
list, there are no other "secret" ways I'm hiding from you. So if you
absolutely need Dark Matter, this is how you'll HAVE to get it. You can bribe
Land Worms once you are inside Sin's very core, but you can't save once you get
there, so I omitted that from this guide.
a) Blitzball: Occasionally, and I do mean occasionally, you could win
Dark Matter as a blitzball prize. Not very common. Very bad way of getting a
lot of Dark Matters.
b) Monster Arena Drops: Any of the Arena Creations have a very slim chance of
dropping one Dark Matter after a fight. Luck Stat plays no part in the rarity
of finding Dark Matter by killing Area Creations, and it seems that all area
creations drop them with the same rarity. If you overkill the monster, and the
monster drops a Dark Matter, you'll get an extra one, too. The best way to
amass Dark Matters quickly if you're short on money. I find Sleep Sprout
extremely easy to kill, so he'd be a good choice if you're attempting to get
rarely dropped Dark Matter.
c) 99 Free Dark Matters: Capture five of every monster in the game and
then talk to the Monster Arena owner. He'll reward you with 99 Dark Matters.
Truly awesome, but this can only be done ONCE. You'll also unlock
Ultima Buster.
So what does Dark Matter do? If you can acquire 60 Dark Matters, you can add
them to a weapon for [Break Damage Limit] auto-ability. Very good if you're
never going to acquire Celestial Weapons.
Dark Matter is very often used in Rikku's mixes. Check out the Trio of 9999
section for more.
Dark Matter can also be used in battle, with USE. It does nice damage.
If you've got all the Celetial Weapons, Dark Matter is rather useless. It
fetches some nice gil, if you should sell it. You cannot buy Dark Matter,
period, so quit asking.

Chapter Eight: Celestial Mirror

<ID008>
_______________________________________________________________________________
The Celestial Mirror is the most important item when it comes to powering up
your Celestial Weapons. Just how do you obtain it? The following paragraphs
should make it clear.
Head to the center of the Calm Lands. Talk to the chocobo trainer and ride a
chocobo off to the far bottom right corner of the map. You should see a small,
yellow chocobo feather sitting on the ground. Interact with the feather and
you'll jump down to a hidden area below.
You'll have to soon dismount the chocobo, don't worry, you don't need the bird
anymore. Cross the Remien Temple bridge and go right. You'll get to play a
chocobo racing game.
Win the race by getting to the middle of the track before the other chocobo
beats you to it. Don't worry about grabbing any of the chests, they're
nonessential for the task at hand.
Once you win the race, you'll be rewarded a Cloudy Mirror.
Your next destination is Macalania Forest. Find a lonely mother standing about
with her son, and continue to talk to her until she mentions her lost husband.
Find the husband. He's located off to the right and then north. You'll have
to leave Macalania Forest, kind of. Once you've convinced the father to return
to his wife and son, return to his wife and son yourself.
But wait. Now the

missing son. Find

the slight correction.
Remember this spot! Write it down, if you have to. You'll need to return here
every time you want to power up a Celestial Weapon.
When you first get your Celestial Weapons, they all will have:
[No AP]
You'll need to revisit this spot and power up the weapons.
Power them up with a Crest for:
[No AP] + [Double Overdrive]
Once powered up with a Crest, a certain power might be unleashed. For example,
when Yuna is powered with her Crest, Valefor will be able to deal over 9999
damage in one hit.
Power them with a Sigil for:
[Break Damage Limit] + [Triple Overdrive]
Note, you'll get the two above abilities, plus TWO MORE other abilities, such
as [One MP Cost] or [First Strike], depending on the character.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Nine: [No Encounters]

<ID009>
_______________________________________________________________________________
[No Encounters] is an armor auto-ability that allows the party to walk freely
around the world without running into any random battles. You'll still fight
bosses, of course.
To customize [No Encounters] onto an armor, you'll need 30 Purifying Salts.
The only way to get Purifying Salts is to steal them from enemies. Abadon, of
the monster arena, will give up some if you steal from him. Warrior Monks
and Fallen Monks also give up Purifying Salts on occasion if try to steal from
them, althought it is rare. With [Master Thief] auto-ability on an armor, you
will frequently steal Purifying Salts from Hornet, a monster in the arena.
On a side note, Purifying Salts also can be used to teach an Aeon dispel.
You'll also get 99 Purifying Salts should you unlock Fafnir in the monster
arena. To unlock Fafnir, you'll need to capture four of each Vouivre,
Lamashtu, Kusariqqu, Mushussu, and Nidhogg.
[No Encounters] armors are also dropped by Ghosts, Wraiths, or Demonoliths on
occasion. It is extremely rare.

A glitch in the game: sometimes Geosgaeno (the Baaj Temple guardian) will drop
[No Encounters] weapons! I've gotten a ball for Wakka with No Encounters.
Sweet.
That's everything you could want about [No Encounters]. Just remember that you
realy only need one person with [No Encounters], so when you unlock Fafnir
just use thirty of your Purifying Salts on one weapon, not on all your party
members. You'll want to save some Purifying Salts or teach all of your aeons
Dispel.

Chapter Ten: Tidus's Celestial Weapon - Caladbolg

<ID010>
_______________________________________________________________________________
The Calabolg is a Celtic sword of mythology rumored to be so strong, it could

cut the hills of Ireland in two. If you're interested in the subject, there
are A LOT of resources on the web that deal with Celtic mythology. Just use
google.com
The first step towards gaining the Calabolg, Tidus's ultimate weapon, is to get
the Celestial Mirror. Read an earlier portion of the guide if you need the
mirror. Make sure you have the airship.
Next, head to the Calm Lands and beat the Chocobo Trainer in each of her four
races. When you've finished that, an extremely easy task, head to the
northwest part of the Calm Lands. Walk down a cliff (a man was once guarding
this cliff, now he's gone!) and then use the Celestial Mirror to get Tidus's
weapon. It's very weak right now, don't worry: we'll fix that.
To get Tidus's Sun Crest, head to the area where you killed Lady Yunalesca.
Walk up and down the stairs until you see a chest on the left side of the
screen. Open it and grab the Sun Crest.
The Sun Sigil, however, is quite hard and frustrating.
Return to the Calm Lands and talk to the Chocobo Trainer again. Now it's time
to beat her, and beat her badly.
You'll need to score a time of BETTER THAN 0:0:0. To do this, you'll need
at least thirteen or fourteen balloons. Use the other ride as a shield, if you
must, to take the hits for you. It's incredibly hard.
Remember, there are a lot of 'invisible' boundaries throughout the track. If
you hit one of those boundaries, you'll bounce. And bouncing is bad.
Of course, you should never hit a bird, unless it means two or three baloons.
You'll add about 1.5 to 2.0 seconds of time every time you hit them, plus, at
the end of the race, the trainer will add three seconds to your time for every
bird you hit! You're almost losing five seconds per bird. That's terrible.
Don't flip out if you can't do this. It's mostly skill, but luck is involved
somewhat. Just calm down and realize that you're not alone. Most FFX players
fail to complete this challenge, for some reason or another.
Good luck. There's really nothing else I can do to help you.

Once you've gotten the three pieces, return to the Celestial Mirror spot and
charge them up!
Your new weapon will have:
[Break Damage Limit] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Evade & Counter] + [Magic Counter]
Congratulations. There is also a special bonus associated with Tidus's
weapon: when Tidus's HP is full, the weapon will deal more damage.
Remember, you'll need a score BETTER THAN 0:0:0 to win the chocobo game. If
you JUST make 0:0:0, you won't get his Sigil. So you have to race extremely
well.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Eleven: Yuna's Celestial Weapon - Nirvana

<ID011>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Yuna's Celestial Weapon is Nirvana. The name is obviously derived from the
Buddhist faith. Nirvana is considered to be the ultimate state of happiness,
only achieved after many reincarnations.
The first step to gaining Nirvana is to to grab the Moon Crest. It's actually
on Besaid Island, and it can be grabbed the first time you visit the
island--when Wakka first meets Tidus. In the ocean Tidus swims in, check out
the right side of the screen. Look around for a treasure chest on a little
cove. Open it up, and you've got Yuna's Moon Crest.
Next, you'll want to go to the Remien Temple (located near the Calm Lands) and
battle Belgemine's aeons. You must have all of the aeons, including the extra
aeons Yojimo, Anima, and Magus Sisters, to complete this task.
Here's a guide to defeating each aeon and ultimately grabbing Yuna's Moon
Sigil.
Valefor (20,000 HP)
===================
Prizes: First Time
Second Time
All Others
- Summoner's Soul
- Lightning Gem x4
- Power Sphere x4
It's an easy battle. Valefor is incredibly weak, and he has a low HP. Not a
problem here. If you are having problems with Valefor, Yuna'a level is far too
low to defeat the other aeons.
Ifrit (28,000 HP)
=================
Prizes: First Time
Second Time
All Others
- Aeon's Soul
- X-Potion x30
- Mana Sphere x5
Don't use fire attacks. A nice dose of Ice attacks from Anima should eliminate
him in no time at all.

Ixion (30,000 HP)
=================
Prizes: First Time
All Others
- Chocobo Feather x10

- Power Sphere x8
Make sure you don't hit Ixion with Thunder attacks, as he absorbs them. Water
magic is your easiest option.
Shiva (20,000 HP)
=================
Prizes: First Time
All Others
- Mega Potion x60

- Star Curtain x6
Shiva will dodge most physical attacks. Use a steady dose of Firaga, and
she'll be gone. If you miss with too many physical attacks, she'll have an
overdrive, Diamond Dust, ready to use on your aeon.
Bahamut (35,000 HP)
===================
Prizes: First Time
All Others
- Flower Sceptor
- Mana Sphere x8
You'll get the Flower Sceptor

means you won't be getting it
the Magus Sisters, which I've
use another big gun aeon like
Yojimbo (32,000 HP)
===================
Prizes: First Time
All Others
the very first time you defeat Bahamut, which

again. You needed the Flower Sceptor to obtain
already instructed you to do. To defeat Bahamut,
Anima or even Shiva.
- Shadow Gem x8
- Power Sphere x10
Defeat Yojimbo with ease, as long as you're using attacks like Impulse, Pain,
or Ultima. He'll dodge a lot of physical attacks.
Anima (54,000 HP)
=================
Prizes: First Time
All Others
- Stamina Spring x60

- Mana Sphere x10
Anima has the most HP of any single aeon, so this could be your first
challenge. Just make sure you use the Magus Sisters, Yojimbo, Shiva,
or Bahamut and you'll be on your way to victory. Valefor doesn't have
enough HP for the fight, and Ifrit is not strong enough.
Magus Sisters: Cindy (20,000 HP) / Sandy (35,000 HP) / Mindy (48,000 HP)
========================================================================
Prizes: First Time
- Shining Gem x40
All Others
- Power Sphere x12
Sending
- Moon Sigil
One overdrive from Anima or Bahamut will eliminate the Magus Sisters just as
quickly as they came out. If you don't want to use an overdrive, first take
Cindy, because she is the healer. Once you win this battle, send Belgemine and
grab the Moon Sigil. Almost time for Yuna's weapon.
Back to the Calm Lands. Capture at least one of every monster there. Be sure
the man who runs the arena acknowledge that you've capture at least one of
each Calm Lands fiend.

Open the treasure box, get the weapon, and head to Macalania to power it up!
Once powered up, Nirvana will have:
[Break Damage Limit] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Double AP] + [One MP Cost]
As an added bonus, Valefor can now deal over 9,999 damage! Yuna's Nirvana
will inflict more damage when Yuna's MP is full, so keep a supply of ethers
on hand, should your MP run extremely low.
Special Effects: Does more damage when Yuna's MP is full, and allows Valefor
to exceed 9,999 damage.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Twelve: Wakka's Celestial Weapon - World Champion

<ID012>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Wakka's ultimate weapon is not that hard to attain. You must have the
Celestial Mirror, however. Don't try to get Wakka's weapon from the bar until
you have the Celestial Mirror.
First, take your airship to Luca. Check out the Besaid Aurochs locker room,
and attempt to open all the lockers. Inside one of the lockers is the Jupiter
Crest.
Next, head to the bar where Kimahri nearly gets into a large fight with Biran
Ronso and Yenke Ronso. Talk to the man behind the counter. He'll give up
Wakka's ultimate weapon.
The last step is actually the most difficult.
You must win each of Wakka's overdrives in the blitzball leagues and
tournaments before you can get his Sigil. Refer to another part of this guide
for information about Wakka's overdrives and how to get them.
After you've won Auroch Reels, Wakka's last overdrive, the Jupiter Sigil will
be a prize in the League games. It might not appear right away, so keep
winning league championships. If you're impatient, read on for a trick.
There is a certain trick to help you gain Wakka's Jupiter Sigil faster. After
you've grabbed all his overdrives, keep using RESET TEAM DATA until Wakka's
Sigil appears as a league prize. Personally, I don't recommend this, because
you'll lose all your blitzball stats, levels, recruitments, techs, etc.
Take the weapon, crest, and sigil to the woods and power it up. Wakka's
new World Champion will boast:
[Break Damage Limit] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Double AP] + [Evade & Counter]
Also, after World Champion is powered up, Ifrit will be able to inflict over
9,999 damage. Wakka's World Champion deals extra damage when Wakka's HP is
full, so heal him often.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Thirteen: Lulu's Celestial Weapon - Onion Knight

<ID013>
_______________________________________________________________________________
The Onion Knight returns from Final Fantasy III!

Much like the moogles, moombas, cactuars, etc, all of Lulu's dolls seem to be
from old Final Fantasy games. Getting the Onion Knight isn't hard, it just
requires patience.
First thing's first: go to the Baaj Temple (Anima's Temple). Dive down below
and look around. It's in a VERY well hidden treasure box, only accessible
after you've defeated Geosgaeno, the temple's water boss. The easiest way to
get the treasure box is to look around in the southern part of the circle
and just mash the X button like mad. Soon you'll have her weapon.
Like most of the Celestial Weapons, you'll need the Celestial Mirror to open
the treasure box. So don't bother, unless you have it.
Next, get the Venus Crest. Just head to the Farplane, you can't miss it. From
one extreme to the other, right?
Now, it's back to the tedious work. Off to the Thunder Plains. It's time to
do the fabled "Dodge 200 Lightning Bolts" quest.
Here are the ten commandments for completing this challenge:
1 - Thou shall not save in between; if you do, your counter resets.
2 - Thou shall not leave the screen in between; if yo do, your counter resets.
3 - Thou shall not use a turbo controller. The game picks up on cheating.
4 - Thou shall not mash X. The game picks up on your cheating attempt.
5 - Thou shall honor this map:
< www.freewebs.com/acax1985/ps2_final_fantasy_x_thunder_plains_map.jpg >
6 - Thou shall not throw any controllers or small animals in a fit of rage.
7 - Thou shall concentrate and remain calm at all times.
8 - Thou shall use [No Encounters] on an armor or a weapon.
9 - Thou shall not complain it is not fair or it is impossible.
10 - Thou shall be wished good luck.
When using the map, be sure to try dodging the lightning bolts at places where
you see THREE lightning bolts. That's where the lightning strikes most
frequently.
If you follow those rules, you will soon have a fully charged up Onion Knight
with the following abilities:
[Break Damage Limit] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Magic Booster] + [One MP Cost]

When Lulu's MP is full you'll deal extra damage with the Onion Knight. Also,
once powered up, the Onion Knight allows Shiva to break the damage limit.
===================
Alternative Methods
===================
If you're still having trouble, you can try some of these methods, contributed
by fellow Final Fantasy X players.
Shadow Conspiracy's Method
-------------------------First, go to the area just right north the rin travel agencey, that place has
the most lightning bolts. start the stopwatch and go for 5 minutes.
stop it between 5-6 minutes. pause and go watch tv for 5-10 minutes, or when
the show ur watching begins a part that you dont like.
switch back to the game and go for a minute. keep doing this and around 14-17
minutes you should have the sigil; i got 254 doing it this way.
Mitchell Jackson's Method
-------------------------At a high volume (as my games usually are) the noise of the lightening
and weather can be disconcerting and break your concentration. At
moderate volume, the sound is distracting and misleading. The game tends
to throw many more 'sounds' of lightening than actual lightening strikes.
This can fool you into accidentally setting off the "mash" detection... by
the noise luring you into attempting a dodge just a moment before a real
strike, and then when you press X on the real strike the mash protection
kicks in, and you get hit anyway.
Anyway, I was having a horrible time dodging 200 strikes, because of the
sound. I even managed to get 199 at one point, before being hit.
But, after turning the volume on the stereo down ALL THE WAY and just
using the white flash on the screen as a dodge indicator, dodging hundreds
of strikes in a row was easy as pie.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Fourteen: Kimahri's Celestial Weapon - Spirit Lance

<ID014>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Kimahri's Celestial Weapon, the Spirit Lance, is not too hard to obtain. If
you use the map I'm providing for the butterfly game, then you should be fine.
Before the butterfly game, though, head to the Thunder Plains. You may have
noticed that their are several Qactuar stones in corners of the Thunder Plains.
Pray at three stones, and then head back down to the southern part of the
plains. There will be a Qactuar Ghost floating around.
It's a bit tricky to follow him, because it seems he is following you, but you
have to try. He'll lead you to an old, crumbled tower on the right side of the
screen. It's about in the middle of the screen, not too far north or south,
but in the middle.
You'll notice how destroyed the tower is. Pray at this spot, with Celestial
Mirror in hand, and you'll watch a short cutscene as Kimahri obtains his
weapon.
Kimahri's Saturn Crest is located on Mt. Gagazet. Chances are you picked it up
already, it's near a bunch of pillars near the Seymour fight. It's not hard to
find. Open the box and get the Crest.
The Saturn Sigil isn't hard to find, either, but it is quite hard to obtain.
You'll need the map at:
< http://www.freewebs.com/acax1985/ps2_final_fantasy_x_butterfly_map.jpg >
Print it, if you need.
Take the airship to Macalania and then begin the butterfly game. You must
complete both. By using the butterfly map (see the link above), it should be
much easier. You'll need to grab all the blue ones, while avoiding the red
ones. It's frustrating, to say the least. [No Encounters] on an armor is a
must. Even if you run into a red butterfly while [No Encounters] is equipped,
you'll fight a battle. Use this time to capture any monsters you need.
If you try to do this before you have the airship, you will not get the items
you are looking for.
Once you power up Kimahri's Spirit Lance, Ixion will be able to break the
damage limit of 9,999 damage. The Spirit Lance, fully charged:
[Break Damage Limit] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Double AP] + [Evade & Counter]
So why is it called the Spirit Lance, when it has absolutely nothing to do
with any sort of magic?
According to what translations
is deeply rooted in spiritual,
the American game. The Crests
Holy Scrolls, respectively, in
I can gather, the Japanese Final Fanstasy X game

holy, or religious matters, even more so than
and Sigils are actually called Scrolls and
the Japanese release.
In Japanese, Kimahri's Sigil was the Thursday Holy Scroll. All of the
characters had days, not planets (or satelites, YUNA!), assigned to them.
Holy Thursday is a very special day in the Christian faith (which I'm not
going to get into), and Kimahri's ultimate weapon was called Longinus in
the Japanese edition. Longinus is the suposed name of the Roman soldier who
pierced Jesus Christ's side with a spear as he hung on the cross.
Obviously, America is too fragile to include these "deep, dark elements of
religion" in a game, so it was tuned down to Spirit Lance.
Kawa Same adds this:
"Also, if you pay attention to this kind of stuff, the Lance of Longinus is
also the name of a Holy Lance in an anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion. This
anime was very popular when FFX was in it's production stages. Still is,
actually."
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Fifteen: Auron's Celestial Weapon - Masamune

<ID015>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Throughout the game, Auron is your fighter and strongest character. I think
the Mars Crest and Mars Sigil fit him well, as Mars was the Roman God of War.
The steps to gaining Auron's Masamune are actually a bit longer than most other
characters, because of the sheer ease of the process.
First, take your Celestial Mirror with you to the Calm Lands. Head down
towards the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth and look around. You'll see a rusty
sword around there. Take it with you to the Mushroom Rock Road.
Once at Mushroom Rock Road, take your second left. It should lead you to a
lift. Follow the obvious instructions of inserting the Rusty Sword, and you'll
grab a powered down version of the Masamune.
The Mars Crest is even easier to get. Just ride a chocobo to the end of the
Mi'ihen Highroad. You'll notice another path, to the south. It leads to the
ruined Mi'ihen road. Locate the chest and get ready to capture some monsters.
To get the Mars Sigil, you'll need to unlock TEN Species Conquest or Area
Conquest Monster Arena monsters.
You have -no idea- how long this next chart took me to create, so please USE it
and don't ask me questions.
You must unlock any TEN of these monsters:

There you have it. You must unlock any ten of those monsters, and I've even
included how to do it. Get the Mars Sigil from the man at the arena and then
go power up your Masamune to full strength:
[Break Damage Limit] + [Triple Overdrive] + [First Strike] + [Counterattack]
Auron's Masamune, when powered up, allows Yojimbo to deal more than 9,999
damage. Also, as a neat little bonus, when Auron's is critical, he'll inflict
more damage with the Masamune. The extra damage is just a bonus, though, as it
is on all Celestial Weapons. You can still do 99,999 damage while being full
on health.
As you read this, the term 'masamune' may sound familiar to you, from other
games such as Chrono Trigger. Jim Kurrasch has written this about the history
of the 'masamune', which you can find elsewhere in this guide.

Chapter Sixteen: Rikku's Celestial Weapon - Godhand

<ID016>
_______________________________________________________________________________
The first to gaining Rikku's ultimate weapon is to input the password:

GODHAND
You input the password onto the airship's password system. It must be in all
capital letters.
Once you've inputted GODHAND, a new place on the airship map will open up. Go
to this new location and then open a treasure box found there. It will contain
Rikku's Godhand, her ultimate weapon. In Final Fantasy VII, Tifa also had a
weapon called the Godhand.
If you're wondering how you're suposed to know to put in the GODHAND password,
read the Al Bhed Passwords section of this guide.
Rikku's Mercury Crest can be found in Sanubia Desert, on the far north screen
in a northwestern alcove.
The next step is to acquire the Mercury Sigil. You'll need the airship for
this, and I strongly recommend [No Encounters]. Learn more about [No
Encounters] in another part of this guide, named, you gussed it, [No
Encounters]. This is a rather complicated process, but it is not hard.

DEFINITIONS:
Screen Number
===========
SCREEN ONE
Description
===========
Contains a pond
In Game Menu Title

==================
Sanubia Desert--Oasis
SCREEN TWO
A winding path with a save
Sanubia Desert--East
SCREEN THREE
Open desert, ruins on left
Sanubia Desert--Central
SCREEN FOUR
Last screen with sandstorm
Sanubia Desert--West
NOTE: In the guide, north refers to UP, south to DOWN, etc. So if it says
"move south", it means go down.
First, go to SCREEN FOUR. On the right side there is a stone you need to
interact with. After you interact with it, you'll need to catch ten cactuars.
It is also a good time to capture ten cactuars needed for the Monster Arena.
Chocobo Feathers can be stolen from cactuars commonly. Chocobo Wings are rare
steals.
When you find a cactuar and win or lose, you'll be given a special sphere. If
you win, you'll get [Cactuar's Name] Sphere. If you lose, you'll get Sphere
del Perdedor, or Loser's Sphere. Take the sphere, win or lose, back to the
stone and you'll be given a new cactuar to find.
=====
TOMAY
=====
Glyph Clue: Tomay's gone. Gone to fetch the water.
Location: At the oasis in the first screen. He is toward the right side of that
little shore, you really can't miss him.
Traits: Duties: Fetching water. Takes his time and, as a result, is often left
behind.
A little dim.
Time: 10.0 seconds
Course: You start off on a hill in the back left of the screen. Tomay is in the
front right, under a tree.
Difficulty/Tips: Easy. You just run straight toward him, watching his movements
and stopping when he turns around. Or, instead of watching his movements, you
can wait for the Al Bhed word "Needletime!" to appear onscreen. Stop when you
see it, as this word means he is looking at you. However, I recommend watching
his movements as the best strategy. Time is not an obstacle.
=======
ROVIVEA
=======
Glyph Clue: Rovivea's gone walkabout.
Location: You will find Rovivea in Screen Two. When you enter from Screen Three
there is a large open depression to the left side of the screen, it's not hard
to see Rovivea.
Traits: Has no patience for certain dim-witted friends.
Not a progressive thinker.
Time: 13.6 seconds
Course: Rovivea is at the very front of the screen, you are at the far back.
Setup is similar to Tomay.
Difficulty/Tips: Easy. Same strategy as for Tomay.
=====
CHAVA
=====
Glyph Clue: Little Chava likes big numbers.
Location: There is a narrow point in Screen Four. On either side of this narrow
area, there is a signpost facing each other horizontally. Go to the left sign
and press X to read it; it should say something about an Al Bhed 20% off sale.
(What a deal!) After you read the sign you will see little cutscene in which
you find Chava.
Traits: Recently learned to count to 50.
A little needy.
Attention deficit.
Time: 13.0 seconds
Course: You are at the back near one sign, Chava is in the front near another.
A straightaway.
Difficulty/Tips: Easy. Same strategy as for Tomay.
==========
ALEK/ALOJA
==========
Glyph Clue: Alek and Aloja play tag in the ruins of men.
Location: They are running around in Screen Three, among the ruins on the far
left side of the screen. You will easily spot them in the lowest part of the
valley, running back and forth.
Traits: Two brothers, rarely separated.
They move as one, their closeness a paragon of brotherhood.
Time: 13.0 seconds
Course: The two brothers are at the front of the screen, you are in the far
back. A straightaway course.
Difficulty/Tips: Medium. Again, just run straight at them and watch their
movements; this is a little more difficult than previous ones, you have to use
your time to its fullest to reach them within the time period.
========
VACHELLA
========
Glyph Clue: Vachella seeks the shining blue.
Location: The "shining blue" refers to a Save Sphere. Just go to the save point
in Screen Two (it's approximately in the center of the area, under a tent) and
examine the sphere. You will have the chance to save, etc. Once you cancel out
of the Save Sphere menu, Vachella will appear.
Traits: Loves new things.
Hard on others, easy on self.
Stingy.
Time: 14.0 seconds
Course: You are standing by the Save point, Vachella in the front of the
screen. Another pretty straight course.
Difficulty/Tips: Medium. Vachella likes to turn around very quickly. After he
turns for the first time, he will turn around three more times right in
succession. If you want to win, you must take full advantage of your opening
period to run, then take at least a small step between each of his next four
turns. He makes 8 spins total during the time; you'll need quick reflexes.
======
ROBEYA
======
Glyph Clue: O, Robeya's stuck inside.
Location: Robeya is in a treasure chest, in the far southwest corner of the
main desert area in Screen Three. Just follow the south wall westward, or
follow the fence southward, it's up to you. Try to open the chest and Robeya
will hop out.
Traits: A real needle brain.
Likes cramped spaces.
Check out his great collection!
Time: 14.0 seconds
Course: A straightway course, but there are four treasure chests, two on each
side. The back one on the left is open. The back right one contains two Shadow
Gems. The front left contains two Shining Gems, and the front right a Blessed
Gem. You can open the chests to get the prizes; if you lose a trial, you can
still keep your prize, but you can only open each chest once.
Difficulty/Tips: Easy. The challenge is to get all three items, and still beat
Robeya. However, since this is quite difficult, I suggest you just choose two
of the three prizes, get them, and then beat Robeya with trial #3. I usually
grab the Shadow Gems and the Blessed Gem.
=====
ISRRA
=====
BUG ALERT!! Apparently, if you do not leave Screen Four after giving the glyph
Robeya's sphere, Isrra might not appear. However, don't worry, just leave the
screen and come back, and all will be well. (Thanks to CB! for the solution to
this bug, though I'm sure many others have discovered it as well.)
Glyph Clue: A fiery description--The lord of the hole is gone, Isrra thinks.
Location: In Screen Four, there are three antlion pits (little whirlpools of
sand). You will find Isrra running around in the middle one of them.
Traits: The philosopher about town. Today, he digs holes. Again.
A cautious sort.
Time: 15.0 seconds
Course: The course is a basic Isrra front/Tidus back setup, however your vision
is slightly hazy as it from the heat.
Difficulty/Tips: Hard. Isrra looks at you for seconds at a time, so you must
be very precise with starting and stopping--don't waste a single tenth of a
second that he is looking away.
EASY WAY TO BEAT ISRRA:
There is a pit next to Tidus on the screen. Run into it when you first have a
chance to move, and once you are in just keep running toward Isrra, even when
he is looking at you. Apparently there is a tunnel connecting the two pits,
because after a few seconds you will be standing at the bottom left of the
screen, right next to Isrra! Then just run over and touch him and you will
have caught him.
====
ELIO
====
Glyph Clue: Much-curious Elio has left on a journey.
Location: Go to the pond in Screen One again. To find Elio, you must simply
enter the pond area from the north (not the screen, just the area around the
pond.) Basically, if you morph in at the Save point, you need to go up and then
come back down again. After this, you will see a cutscene in which Elio beams
up to the roof of the airship. Head to the airship roof to find him.
(I love the cinematography, when you see Tidus' back, and then it rises up to
show Elio. Sorry, back to the guide.)
Traits: To what lies beyond the sands, he travels far to distant lands.
Hyper-reactive and a bad poet.
Time: 11.0 seconds
Course: You are at the door of the roof, and Elio, in the forefront of the
screen, is at the prow. Be warned, the ship will tilt when you are trying to
get to him, so be prepared and keep your reflexes sharp.
Difficulty/Tips: Hard. You just need to watch both Elio and the ship and
pray you will succeed. Even I, having had a lot of practice, still sometimes
fail to get him; 11 seconds is very short to achieve this in. Also, you
don't actually fight Elio. If you reach him, he just falls off the edge, and
apparently dies. Oh well.
PROBLEM WITH ELIO: If you have gone to the "Sin" destination on the airship,
but have not fought the battle with Sin there, you will automatically be forced
into that battle when you go outside to meet Elio. So, you have to fight Sin
and get that over with before you can continue with the sidequest. I don't know
of any other solution.
======
FLAILE
======
Glyph Clue: Flaile is always behind.
Location: After you take Elio's sphere to the glyph, Flaile will automatically
jump out and initiate the minigame.
Traits: The guy you never invite but he always shows up anyway.
Cheeky.
Time: 13.0 seconds
Course: A basic straightaway; you are standing be the glyph rock, he is in
the front ground of the screen.
Difficulty/Tips: Hard. Ignore the sounds and the words that appear onscreen, as
they are meaningless for this one. However, it is not that hard to just look
at his movements and time your running. Flaile gives you a special red sphere
when you are done with him.
Once you beat Flaile, take the red sphere to the glyph and there will be a
lengthy sequence in which the glyph repeats the clue for each of the 10
Cactaurs' locations. Then, the sandstorm in the valley will disappear.
Now that the sandstorm is gone, you can go get your prizes. There are two
treasure chests in the area revealed by the sandstorm; both are toward the
southern end of the valley. In the left one is the Mercury Sigil. The prize in
the second chest varies, depending on how many Cactaurs you successfully
defeated:
1 Named Sphere=
2 Named Spheres=
3 Named Spheres=
4 Named Spheres=
5 Named Spheres=
6 Named Spheres=
7 Named Spheres=
8 Named Spheres=
9 Named Spheres=
10 Named Spheres=
Potion
Potion
Elixir

None of these prizes could be classified as great, so don't feel a lot of
pressure to beat every Cactaur, but it isn't difficult, and an extra Friend
Sphere never hurt anybody.
Thanks, RAGNAROK757.
Power up your Godhand to the following abilities:
[Break Damage Limit] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Double AP] + [Gillionaire]
Rikku's Godhand is the only Celestial Weapon with Gillionaire. When Rikku's
HP is full, Godhand will inflict extra, bonus damage.

Chapter Seventeen: Valefor's Hidden Overdrive

<ID017>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Valefor is the only aeon to have a second, hidden overdrive.

To get the second overdrive, Energy Blast, immediately reenter the village
the first time the party begins to leave. If you miss this oppurtunity,
you will need to wait until you gain the airship.
Once you've returned to Besaid, head to the village and talk to the woman and
the dog on the left of the temple. She'll tell you about her dog finding
something soggy.. well, it's your new overdrive! Congrats.
Note that if you're playing the Japanese or American version of the game,
you will have no trouble. However, if you're playing the International or
European version of the game, you'll have to fight Dark Valefor. For a guide
on Dark Valefor, check out a PAL FAQ.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Eighteen: Returning To Bevelle Temple

<ID018>
_______________________________________________________________________________
You can not return to Bevelle Temple. Never ever. No chance.

You can not miss the Destruction Sphere at Bevelle Temple. In order to
complete the Bevelle Temple puzzle, you MUST use the Destruction Sphere. You
also MUST grab the treasure chest in order to complete the puzzle. It is
absolutely MANDATORY that you GET THE CHEST and USE THE SPHERE.
In case I am not being clear, THERE IS NO WAY TO RETURN TO BEVELLE! NONE! No
matter what anyone tells you. Anyone that says you can return is lying.
Do not ask how to return. If you e-mail me asking, I will ban your e-mail
address. If you instant message me, I will block your screen name. Forever.
YOU CAN NOT GO BACK TO BEVELLE!
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Nineteen: [Break MP Limit]

<ID019>
_______________________________________________________________________________
[Break MP Limit] allows a character to have up to 9999 MP when the

auto-ability is on that user's current armor.
To customize [Break MP Limit] onto an armor, you'll need 30 Three Stars. Read
on to learn how to get Three Stars:
a) Steal From Shinryu and Jormungand: With [Master Thief] equipped, you'll
often steal Three Stars from both of these Monster Arena fiends. Without
having [Master Thief] equipped, your chances are quite low.
b) Open Five Chests During Remien Race: If you can open three chests, and beat
the other chocobo to the end of the Remien Chocobo Race, you'll earn SIXTY
Three Stars. Too bad you can only do this once.
c) Unlock Two Area Creations: If you can unlock two area creation monsters at
the arena, you'll be rewarded with SIXTY Three Stars.
d) Bribe Behemoth King: If you bribe Behemoth King for 1,350,000 gil you
could get fourteen Three Stars. Be sure to save before you bribe, in case
something goes wrong.
[Break MP Limit] armors are also dropped by these enemies: Ultima Weapon (one
time chance) or the Ultima Buster, on occasion.
Onto some common questions:
Q: If I have more than 999 MP worth of Sphere Grid Nodes activated, but I do
not have [Break MP Limit] yet, will the game remember the nodes that put me
over 999 MP, so that when I get [Break MP Limit] I will have more HP?
A: Yes, the game 'remembers' your MP. Don't worry.
Q: How much MP can you max out with?
A: The most MP any one character can have is 9999.
That's everything you could want about [Break MP Limit].
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Twenty: Don Tonberry AP Trick

<ID020>
_______________________________________________________________________________
The Don Tonberry AP trick is the most efficient way of gaining Sphere Levels.
With a little work, you could be gaining 99 Sphere Levels per character in just
under a minute or so. Ryan Charles first came up with this theory. It is his
work that allowed so many players to max their stats efficiently. I'll break
this down into steps, so that it is easy to follow.

NOTE: When I refer to "AP Weapon", I'm talking about a weapon with the
following abilities:
[Triple AP] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Overdrive->AP]
Your weapon could have another ability added, but an AP Weapon is essentially
configured with the aforementioned abilities.
Preperation Step One - Unlock One-Eye
=====================================
You can either choose One-Eye or Ultima Buster to unlock. One-Eye is a lot
easier to unlock; he is also a lot easier to consisently kill. If you choose
to unlock Ultima Buster, you must capture at least FIVE of EVERY monster. If
you kill Ultima Buster, though, he could drop a weapon with [Triple AP],
[Triple Overdrive], and [Overdrive->AP], all abilities you will need anyway.
If you already have Ultima Buster unlocked, and you can kill him, try doing
that and seeing what you get. You could get all the weapons you need right
there.
To unlock One-Eye, you need to capture:
4 Floating Eye, found at Mi'ihen Highroad
4 Buer, found at Thunder Plains
4 Evil Eye, found at Macalania (Snowy)
4 Ahriman, found at Mt. Gagazet
4 Floating Death, found at Omega Ruins
Preperation Step Two - Battle One-Eye
=====================================
When you battle One-Eye, you'll have a good chance of getting of getting
weapons with [Triple AP] on them. What you want is a weapon with [Triple AP]
and two extra slots open. Battle One-Eye until he gives you what you need. Do
this for as many characters as you want.
Preperation Step Three - Customize [Overdrive->AP]
==================================================
Next, you'll need to use ten Doors to Tomorrow to customize [Overdrive->AP]
auto-ability onto a weapon. Luckily for you, these items are plentiful. You
can steal them from Ultima Weaponor bribe some mech warriors. Bomb King in the
Monster Arena will drop TWO Doors to Tomorrow if you overkill him. My favorite
way of getting Doors To Tomorrow: unlock six Monster Arena Area Creations.
That is by the far the easiest way. You'll get 99 Doors To Tomorrow from that,
and it is considerably easy work. Use ten Doors To Tomorrow and customize
[Overdrive->AP] on all your [Triple AP] weapons. There should now be one more
slot open.
Preperation Step Four - Customize [Triple Overdrive]
====================================================
This is by far the hardest part of the entire trick. To customize [Triple
Overdrive] onto a weapon, you'll need to use thirty Winning Formulas. Winning
Formulas can only be bribed from Sandworms or dropped by Ultima Buster. If you
plan to bribe a Sandworm, you'll need 900,000 gil for fifteen of them. Make
sure you save before you do it, incase something goes wrong. Ultima Buster
will drop two Winning Formulas for an overkill. The easiest way to get a lot
of Winning Formulas, although you can only do it once, is to unlock EVERY
Area Creation in the Monster Arena. It may take some time, but your reward is
the much needed quantity of 99 Winning Formulas. Use thirty Winning Formulas
per weapon and customize three weapons (or more, if you can) with [Triple
Overdrive]. Now at least three weapons should have:
[Triple AP] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Overdrive->AP]

Preperation Step Five - Setting Overdrive Modes
===============================================
Set all of your characters to Comrade overdrive mode. If they do not have this
mode, you will first need to earn it. Check out the overdrive section of this
guide for more.
Preperation Step Six - Unlock Don Tonberry
==========================================
To unlock Don Tonberry, you'll need to capture at least one of each of the
following enemies: Epaaj, Imp, Yowie, Thorn, Dark Element, Nidhogg, Valaha,
Ghost, and Tonberry. The Tonberry and Ghost could be considerably elusive, so
don't give up. For tips on catching some of these monsters, check out the
Monster Arena section of the guide.
Preperation Step Six - Preliminary Don Tonbbery Battle
======================================================
The first battle against Don Tonbery is for show, literally. Equip your
characters with their AP Weapons. Then, take on Don Tonberry.
Hit Don Tonberry with each of your characters. After being hit, Don Tonberry
counteracts with Karma. Appropriately named, Karma deals 100 damage per enemy
you've killed. Sound confusing?
For example:
Tidus has killed 634 enemies.
Tidus would be damaged with Karma for 63,400 damage (634 x 100 = 63,400).
Wakka has killed 539 enemies.
Wakka would be damaged with Karma for 53,900 damage (539 x 100 = 53,900).
Yuna has killed 15 enemies.
Yuna would be damaged with Karma for 1,500 damage (15 x 100 = 1,500).
Now it's time to judge what character will be your sacrificial character. This
character will need to take about 80,000 to 99,999 damage from karma. This
character will also need to have a low HP, prefferably below 5000.
Whatever character you choose to be your sacrifice, change that character's
overdrive mode to Stoic.
Preperation Step Seven - Raising Karma's Damage (OPTIONAL)
==========================================================
If your charactes are not being hit for enough karma (you'll need to be hit
for at least 80,000 damage on a LOW HP character), you will need to raise their
kill count. Now, you can either kill a lot of enemies normally, or you can use
a trick.
The trick is rather simple. Choose the character that you want to raise the
kill count on. Make sure that person attacks first in battle, automatically.
You do not want to have to cast Haste. [Auto-Haste] would be splendid, as
would [First Strike].
Once you're sure that your character will attack first in every battle, talk to
the Monster Arena Owner. Continually press X. A turbo controller would work
wonders, taped down on X.
So what does this do?
Basically, you'll constantly fight and kill Dingo, the first enemy on the the
Monster Arena list. By mashing the X button, you'll be killing Dino over and
over, raising your kill count.
99 Sphere Level Battle
======================
Now it's time to gain 99 Sphere Levels in just one match, after all that
one-time preperation. Phew. Luckily, the AP battles take only a minute or
two. Make sure your AP Weapons are equipped.
With your sacrificial character on Stoic, and the other two characters on
Comrade, start the bout with Don Tonberry. The sacrificial character should
attack Don Tonberry.
The low HP sacrificial character should be dealt at least 80,000 damage. By
using Triangle, defend with the other characters. Attack Don Tonberry five or
six times.
Once you've attack him five or six times, Flee from battle. Watch the AP sore
into 99 Sphere Levels. Sweet.
Why It Works
============
Here's the obvious explanation to why this trick works. Your character with
low HP is being dealt a lot of damage. Overdrive is figured out with this
formula:
Damage Dealt / Maxmimum HP = Overdrive Charge
So basically, being dealt a lot of damage, to very little HP, is a huge plus.
In addition, your AP Weapons have [Triple Overdrive] and [Triple AP].
With the AP Weapons, your overdrive charge is converted right into AP, instead
of overdrive charge. With three times the overdrive charge, and three times
the final AP, you're really gaining a lot of AP!
Optimization
============
So how can you optimize this process? There are a few solutions.
a) Lower your maximum HP by deleting some Sphere Grid HP nodes, something you
will need to do anyway if you plan on maxing your stats. If you don't know
what this means, check out the Stat Optimizing section of the guide.
b) Increase your kill count. Use the Dingo trick or just kill enemies the
good, old fashioned way. We didn't have AP tricks like these, back in the old
SNES days, son.
c) Use Rikku's mix, Eccentric and Hot Spurs. Using one, or both, of these
mix results, will DRASTICALLY increase your AP. Try it, and see for yourself.
d) Cut down the amount of times you hit Don Tonberry. Try hitting Don Tonberry
less times, if you are already gaining enough AP for 99 Sphere Levels. You
might only need to hit him two or three times to gain 99 Sphere Levels in one
battle. Toy with it.
e) Using [SOS Overdrive], [Double Overdrive], or [Double AP] instead of the
true, recommend abilities will seriously hurt this trick. If you use any of
those abilities, you may have to hit Don Tonberry a lot more times in battle,
resulting in a lot more damage being dealt. I strongly recommend that you do
not use [SOS Overdrive], in any case.
f) Using [Double AP] with [Triple AP] cancels out [Double AP]. Don't bother.
The same thing applies to overdrives.. [Triple Overdrive] cancels any other,
weaker overdrive setting such as [SOS Overdrive] or [Double Overdrive].
There you have it. A complete explanation and detail of the AP trick that
many games so often use. Make sure your overdrives are set correctly. Make
sure your weapons are set correctly. I cannot tell you how many times that is
the simple cause of error in this trick.
OopsImABlueWaffle suggests this trick, as an alternative, in case your HP is
too high for the other trick to work:
"Get the AP Weapon. Have your characters learn Loner overdrive. Go into the
Sunken Cave to battle a Magic Urn. Have two members escape and then cast Haste
on your remaing party member. Sit back and read a book or something while
continuously mashing Triangle. Magic Urn never attacks, so you can do this
for as long as you like until you get 99 S-lvls."

Chapter Twenty-One: Magic Urn

<ID021>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Older Final Fantasy fans will remember these magical pots. Feeding them items,
such as Elixirs, would result in amazing loads of free experience or AP.
In Final Fantasy X, this is not the case. Feeding items to Magic Urns does
nothing, so don't waste your items or your time.
Magic Urns have 999,999 HP. They can be defeated with only one attack,
Yojimbo's Zanmato.
Defeating them gives you nothing, however. NOTHING. Not a single point of AP
or even an item.
I recommend Fleeing from Magic Urn whenever you run into them. They cannot
be captured. To "attack" the urn, choose one of its "eyes" and then hope for
the best. You will be rewarded an item if you choose the correct eye.
Says Hikensasameyuki:
"There is absolutely no evidence to indicate that there is a 1/5 chance of
correctly choosing an eye. The most popular current theory supports a
progressive probability of success based on the number of eyes already
correctly chosen, thus increasing the difficulty of winning the 'seven prizes
in all, while supplies last.' This would be something like 4/5 for the first
two choices, 3/5 for the third and fourth, 2/5 for the fifth and sixth, and
finally 1/5 for the final choice."

Items you could get from a succesful attack:
Phoenix Down, Lunar Curtain, Ether, Elixir, Silver Hourglass
If you choose the wrong eye, which you will do most of the time, the urn will
explode, dealing damage to your party. This damage is done in relation to your
Magic Defense, so if you have a high Magic Defense stat, you should be alright.
I'd really like to thank Hikensasameyuki for keeping me in check with my
information. He provided a lot of corrections to some of my statements.
Thanks a lot.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Overdrive Modes

<ID022>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Learn to get every overdrive mode in the game quickly and easily. Each
character has to fulfill the same criteria, but at different rates. Strong
characters, like Auron, usually learn the damage related overdrives first.
Healers, such as Yuna, will learn healing overdrive modes first. Thanks to
Donnie Wells for some corrections.
There are seventeen overdrive modes. Each one is covered here:

_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Twenty-Three: Overdrive Attacks

<ID023>
_______________________________________________________________________________
This will explain how to get more overdrive attacks for each character. Some
characters are simple, but other characters require a little work to get.
================
Tidus: Swordplay
================
Tidus's overdrives are all basically sword attacks, with a neat surprise thrown
in for extra damage. To deal the most damage with his attacks, stop the moving
cursor as quickly as you can on the center piece. Tidus learns new attacks by
using his old ones, succsessful or not.
Spiral Cut
==========
Spiral Cut is Tidus's default overdrive. You basically just swing your sword
and damage one enemy.
Slice and Dice
==============
Learn Slice and Dice by unleashing ten Sprial Cut overdrives. Slice and Dice
much better than Spiral Cut; you get six sword slashes, hitting one enemy
each time with a slash.
Energy Rain
===========
Energy Rain is more powerful than Slice and Dice, but it is not as effective
against bosses. To learn Energy Rain, perform twenty more overdrives with
Tidus, for a total of thirty overdrives performed. Energy Rain will deal a lot
of damage to all enemies in one hit. Slice and Dice will hit for six times,
a better solution to bosses.
Blitz Ace
=========
Tidus's ultimate overdrive is Bltiz Ace, learned after you perform fifty more
overdrives, raising Tidus's total to eighty. Blitz Ace unleashes eight slashes
against the enemies and then tops it off with a blitzball kick at one enemy.
Once your stats are maxed, Blitz Ace is the second best overdrive in the game,
behind Wakka's Attack Reels.
==================
Yuna: Grand Summon
==================
The Grand Summon overdrive is extremely useful early in the game. Yuna will
summon an aeon and that summoned aeon will have a full overdrive meter! If the
aeon already had a full metter, then he will have two full meters. Very cool.
============
Wakka: Slots
============
Wakka's overdrives are much like those of Setzer or Tifa, but they have been
refined. The most important thing to remember: you have a lot of time. Take
your time and line the slots up correctly. To learn more overdrives for Wakka,
you must win Blitzball League and Tournament games. Wakka does not need to be
playing on your blitzball team to learn them, however.
Element Reels
=============
Wakka's basic overdrive attack is Element Reels. By matching up the correct
slots, you can unleash an attack of fire, ice, water, or lightning on all
enemies. Lining up two out of the three correct slots, you'll only hit one
fiend with your attack.
Attack Reels
============
The best attack in the game, Wakka's second overdrive! To gain this overdrive,
you must win it as a prize in a random Blitzball Tournament.
You get one hit on the enemy for every "Single Hit" you line up, and two hits
on the enemy for every "Double Hit". You'll get not hits for "Miss". If you
happen to line up three of the same items, you'll double your attacks. Read
these examples if you're having trouble understanding:
SINGLE SINGLE MISS causes two hits, because 1 + 1 + 0 = 2
SINGLE SINGLE SINGLE causes six hits, because 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 (x2 for match)
DOUBLE SINGLE DOUBLE causes five hits, because 2 + 1 + 2 = 5
DOUBLE DOUBLE DOUBLE causes twelve hits, because 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 (x2 for match)
When Wakka hits for twelve hits, it is the best overdrive in the game. Be sure
to get it down, and you'll be doing a lot of damage.
Status Reels
============
Once you've been in a total of 250 battles with fiends, Status Reels could
become a random Blitzball League Prize. Status Reels has the possibility of
inflicting different negative status effects.
Aurochs Reels
=============
Once you've been in a total of 450 battles with fiends, Aurochs Reels could
become a random Blitzball League Prize. Aurochs Reels will hit all enemies for
a massive amount of damage, one time, if you line up the blinking items. To
increase the amount of blinking items, and therefore increasing your chances
of lining them up correctly, you must have Besaid Aurochs on your blitzball
team, including Tidus, Wakka, Datto, Letty, Jassu, Botta, and Keepa. Attack
Reels still has better potential, because it hits TWELVE times, not just one.
==========
Lulu: Fury
==========
Lulu's overdrive is dependent entirely on what Black Magic she currently has at
her disposal. Her Fury attacks do not use MP to run, and they can be used even
while she is Silenced. Fury attacks can not be reflected, either, which is
very nice.
With all those good points, there are bad points. Each Fury spell is about 1/3
as strong as a normal spell, which means you'll have to hit for THREE Fury
attacks just to break even. You'll need seven Fury attacks for the overdrive
to be worth more a doublecast of your spell.
Lulu's Magic stat directly affects how easy it is to spin the right analog
stick to unleash Fury, so be sure to raise her Magic. These are all of the
Fury attacks that you can unleash:
Unique Magic
============
Death (possible instant death on enemies)
Bio (possible poison on enemies)
Drain (steals HP from enemies)
Osmose (steals MP from enemies)

===================
Kimahri: Ronso Rage
===================
Ronso Rage is so complicated, it has its own section. Please see Chapter One's
section, dedicated entirely to Ronso Rage attacks!
==============
Auron: Bushido
==============
All of Auron's attacks are learned by collecting Jecht Spheres. Check out
Chapter Two of this guide for all the details.
==========
Rikku: Mix
==========
Rikku can mix and match two different items to create a unique attack. There
are sixty-four mixes to obtain. Check out Rikku's own chapter on mixes.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Twenty-Four: Rikku's Mix

<ID024>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Rikku's overdrive allows you to Mix two items together for a unique result.
Most of the best mixes require rare or expensive items to mix, so be sure to
mix wisely. Here are all of her mixes, and the least expensive ways to obtain
each. For the best mixes, such as Eccentric, I've included every possibility
you can use.
If you don't know where to get a certain item, such as Chocobo Feather or a
Musk, check out the Rare Items section of this guide. The Rare Items section
will tell you where to get most of the items I'll tell you to use.
I strongly recommend you stocking 99 Potions, 99 Maps, 99 Softs, etc. These
items are extremely cheap, but they are vital to mixes.

That covers all SIXTY-FOUR of Rikku's mixes. If you don't have the items to
mix, check out the Rare Items chapter of this guide. Most of the items can
be bought, so stock up on the cheap ones like Grenade, Potion, Eye Drop, etc.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Twenty-Five: Trio of 9999

<ID025>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Rikku's overdrive allows you to Mix two items together, for wacky and often
unbelievable results. One of these results is Trio of 9999.
Trio of 9999, defined: When cast on your characters, every action your
character is boosted up to do 9999 HP worth of healing or damage. It will not
lower your power, though, so if you are doing more than 9999 damage, you will
still do more.
Let's look at some examples.
Example One: Tidus normally attacks for 7000 damage. Rikku casts Trio of 9999
on the party, so Tidus now does 9999 damage for the rest of the battle.
Example Two: Yuna's Pray usually heals 1200 HP. Rikku casts Trio of 9999 on
the party, so now Yuna's Pray heals 9999 HP to all allies.
Example Three: Auron normally attacks for 23,000 damage. Rikku casts Trio of
9999 on the party. Auron continues to do 23,000 damage.
Example Four: Kimahri has the USE command. Rikku casts Trio of 9999 on the
party. When Kimahri uses the next Al Bhed Potion, it will heal for 9999 HP.
Example Five: Wakka is ready to use his Attack Reels. Rikku casts Trio of 9999
on the party. Each of Wakka's hits from the Attack Reels now do 9999 damage.
Example
Trio of
healing
because
Six: Lulu is ready to use a Phoenix Down to revive Tidus. Rikku casts
9999 on the party. Lulu uses a Phoenix Down, reviving Tidus and
him 9999 HP. Tidus does not have Trio of 9999 status on him, however,
he was dead while it was casted.
That should perfectly illustrate what Trio of 9999 can do. Now, you may be
wondering what you have to mix to obtain this amazing status. Well, read the
next list. Mix any of these combinations together to cast Trio of 9999 on the
entire active party. The rare items are generally listed first.
If you die, all effects are negated. Neoflip02, thanks.
These are all the combinations:

So there you have it. Everything possible about the Trio of 9999.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Rare Items

<ID026>
_______________________________________________________________________________
This chapter will explain in detail how to get any item you could possibly need
for Rikku's mixes, customizing your weapons and armor, or simply for use
against a powerful boss. This list will not tell you what bosses drop what
items--this will only tell you RELIABLE places to get each item. Bosses can
only be fought once, so listing them here is simply a waste of time. Likewise,
if you can steal an item, it is cheaper and more efficient to do so than
bribing for that item. If you don't like the methods listed below, check out
an Item List FAQ.
Please note:
You must purchase Power Distillers, Mana Distillers, Speed Distillers, and
Ability Distillers, they can not be stolen or bribed. Use those purchased
Distillers to take whatever sphere you want from Kottos (Monster Arena). If
you overkill Kottos, after he has been fed a Distiller, he will drop 40
spheres!
================
Valuable Spheres
================
These spheres allow you to fill in a blank node on the Sphere Grid with a new
node, such as HP+300 or Strength+4. All of the enemies that drop these very
special spheres are found at the Monster Arena, and they need to be unlocked
before you can battle them. Sometimes, instead of the designated sphere, a
monster will drop Dark Matter. If that happens, just fight him again until you
get the sphere you need.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Yojimbo

<ID027>
_______________________________________________________________________________
A yojimbo, in Japanese, is a paid bodyguard. The secret aeon Yojimbo is just

that: a hired out aeon bodyguard. Instead of attacking with physical attacks
or magic, Yojimbo utilizes one of four moves: Daigoro, Kozuka, Wakizashi, or
Zanmato.
=================
Unlocking Yojimbo
=================
To unlock Yojimbo, you must head to the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, also called
the Sunken Cave. The Sunken Cave is located north of the Calm Lands, so take
your airship to the Calm Lands and start heading northeast. A chocobo would
speed things up.
Once you've left the Calm Lands, via the northeastern exit, head down a small
hill. This is the area where you'd find the Rusty Sword. Look around for a
small cave entrance, enter it, and proceed.
It'd be a good idea to have a weapon with Capture on as you progress through
the cave, so you can capture the monsters here. Tonberry, for example, is
extremely rare. Should you run into one, it'd be a blessing to capture it.
You'll fight a brief battle against Yojimbo, summoned by another aeon trainer.
Defeat Yojimo using either Bahamut's overdrive or a bunch of powerful attacks
from Shiva, followed by her overdrive.
Enter Yojimbo's chamber, making sure you have a good deal of extra money on
you. You'll be spending approximately 200,000 gil to hire Yojimbo's services.
For Final Fantasy VI fans, this works similar to hiring the services of
Shadow and his dog, Interceptor. However, once you've paid Yojimbo, he'll
always remain loyal to you.
When he asks you what your purpose of hiring him out is, answer the third
option, which lowers his price.
Bid slightly more than half of what he asks for. He'll make rude remarks, but
ignore them. Try to add a little gil each time, in attempt to lower his price
to about 200,000 gil. You'll be paying a little more, but it's no real
problem. That money can be earned with ease. See the quick money-making
chapter of this guide.
Every time you want Yojimbo to battle, you'll have to pay him even more gil.
Luckily, you can pay him just 1 gil and he'll attack. For his most powerful
attacks, you'll need to pay him even more gil.
Once Auron is powered up with his Mars Crest, Yojimbo will be able to break the
damage limit of 9999. For more information about the Mars Crest, check out
Auron's Celestial Weapon section of this guide, Chapter Fifteen.
Yojimbo can not learn any Black Magic, Skills, White Magic, etc. He's limited
to his four moves. He has no overdrives, either.
Daigoro
------Yojimbo's dog will attack for minor damage. You'll get this any time pay
Yojimbo less than a few hundred gil.
Kozuka
-----Yojimbo will attack with three small daggers. Pay Yojimbo 500 gil and you'll
usually see this attack.
Wakizashi
--------Withdrawing his sword, Yojimbo will inflict major damage to a single enemy.
For 1000 gil, Wakizashi will most likely be performed. I strongly recommend
using Wakizashi once you've broke the damage limit. For it's cost, it really
deals the best damage. If Yojimbo is motivated enough, he'll slice all the
fiends for damage, not just one.
Zanmato
------The most powerful attack in Final Fantasy X, Zanmato will cost you
millions of dollars to perform. Zanmato kills ANY enemy in the game, including
bosses.
Zanmato is determined by Motivation Level. Whether or not you perform it on
an enemy is determined by a complex formula and series of events.
Before I discuss Motivation Level, I have to thank Ultimania Guide for
discovering all of this information. Oliver Hague, Dual Zero, Shinryu, and
especially Azure Edge are all a HUGE reason this exists. Azure Edge went
through a lot of trouble to compile this all together. I've taken their work
and written it out in a clear, easy to follow manner. Thanks Azure Edge.
To decide what attack Yojimbo will use, the game runs a very complex set of
numbers through a formula. Once these numbers are run, you'll get a Motivation
number, which you can never physically see. This number determines the attack
Yojimbo selects.
In this formula, there are five variables:
Compatibility, Gil Paid, Overdrive, Random, Zanmato Level
Those five variables determine Motivation, which is the key to the formula.
Think of Motivation as a scale of points, starting at 0, where higher
motivation allows for a stronger attack.
Each turn, Motivation resets. Motivation is only calculated with regards to
the turn at hand. Paying him 1000 gil on one turn, and then 3000 gil on the
the current turn only counts the 3000 gil for this turn.
Once the game decides your Motivation Level, it checks if it is over 80. If it
is over 80, then you will unleash Zanmato. If you do not have an 80 Motivation
Level, then the attack will be selected:
If Yojimbo's motivation is 00 to 31, he will use Daigoro.
If Yojimbo's motivation is 32 to 47, he will use Kozuka.
If Yojimbo's motivation is 48 to 63, he will use Wakizashi.
If Yojimbo's motivation is 64 or higher, he will use Wakizashin on all enemies.
You must decide how much money you want to pay Yojimbo. The more you pay him,
the higher your motivation will be. Remember, gil paid only affects him on
a one turn basis. Gil is not cumulative.
If you're extremely rich, you could add up to 56 points of motivation onto
your Motivation Scale, just by paying him gil. Check out this table for a
complete listing of how much motivation you'll add for your money.

After deciding how much Motivation to add because of gil, the game decides how
much motivation to add because of compatibility.
Compatibility is a relatively weak factor. It can only add up to 8 Motivation
Points maximum. However, it does affect your chances of getting a free
Zanmato attack! For more information about a free Zanmato attack, continue to
read on to the end.
Yojimbo begins with a 50 compatibility stat, but he can reach as high as 255 or
as low a 0. You cannot see this stat, but it works much the same way that
Attack, Defense, Magic, etc., work.
Using Kozuka does not affect your compatibility meter. However, many actions
do. How to change the compatibility meter, for better or worse:
Paying no gil on a turn, which dismissed him:
-20 compatibility
Yojimbo dies while in a battle:
-10 compatibility
Yojimbo is dismissed without being paid for any tunrs: -03 compatibility
Yojimbo uses Daigoro:
- 1 compatibility
Yojimbo uses Wakizashi:
+ 1 compatibility
Yojimbo uses Wakizashi on all enemies:
+ 3 compatibility
Yojimbo uses Zanmato:
+ 4 compatibility
As you can see, it is extremely difficult to raise your compatibility with
Yojimbo, especially since you can never see the compatibility stat. To
determine how much compatibility will add, you'll use the formula:
Compatibility 30 = Motivation
Therefore, even with a 255 compatibility, the most you can add is 8 Motivation
Points. The game does not consider decimals in its calculations.
As I mentioned earlier, you can get Zanmato for free. If your compatibility
is maxed out to 255, you'll have a one-in-four chance of automatically using
Zanmato on weak enemies. Weak enemies are defined later on in this section.
Another minor, yet somewhat important, factor is the overdrive meter. When
Yojimbo's overdrive meter is full, you'll get two free Motivation Points added
to your scale. Using attacks does not use up your overdrive meter, so these
two free points can be reused, as long as Yojimbo remains alive.
Perhaps the most important factor is the random bonus you'll be given. Every
time you attack, your Motivation is given anywhere from 0 to 63 free Motivation
Points. You have absolutely no control over this number.
So far, you've seen how to calculate most of the Motivation.
Now it's time to introduce the most complicated section of Yojimbo's attacks,
the Zanmato Level. This does not affect your Motivation too much, though.
Every enemy in the game, including bosses, is assigned a Zanmato Level. This
level decides how easy it is to perform Zanmato on an enemy.
Zanmato Level One is easy, while Zanmato Level Five is harder.
Use this complicated formula:

C = Compatibility Motivation
P = Gil Paid This Turn
T = Total Gil Held
C * ( .75 + [(P 2) T] ) = X
If you hired Yojimbo to help with your training as a summoner or you hired
Yojimbo to destroy fiends, take your variable X and input it according to the
fiend you are facing.

Gil Paid Motivation

Compatibility Motivation
Overdrive Motivation
Random Motivation
Zanmato Level Motivation
G + C + O + R + Z = Current Motivation Total

If that total exceeds 80, you'll perform Zanmato. If it doesn't, refer to the
information near the top of the Motivation section for a listing of what will
happen.
Sometimes Yojimbo might attack without being paid. The chance of this:
Compatibility 1024 = Chance of Free Attack
You have a small chance, no matter how it looks. Should he attack for free,
he'll use the formula below to determine his attack:
(Compatibility 4) + Random Number = Free Motivation
The random number is anything from 0 to 63. Again, if the Free Motivation
number is greater than 80, he'll perform Zanmato. If not, then refer to the
information at the top of the Motivation section to determine what attack he
will use instead.

If you really want to see Zanmato, but you are on a tight budget, just follow
the following useful tips and one day you'll see Zanmato.
#1 - Never pay Yojimbo 0 gil. He'll lose a great deal of compatibility that's
not easily made up for.
#2 - Never allow Yojimbo to fall in combat. He'll lose a lot of compatibility.
#3 - Never dismiss Yojimbo without first utilizing his services at least once.
#4 - Try to pay Yojimbo at least 1000 gil every time you use him.
#5 - Keep Yojimbo's overdrive meter full. It will boost his Motivation two
free points!
Of course, if you feel like it, you can spend all your gil and just hope he
does Zanmato. I strongly recommend saving before you do this.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Anima

<ID028>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Anima is another hidden aeon that you can make use of. You'll find him at the
Baaj Temple, the same temple you washed up at in the beginning of the game.
Before you can even begin, you will need to unlock Baaj Temple on your list of
airship coordinates. It is located at approximately X-14 and Y-57.
Once you've reached Baaj Temple, you'll have to battle a boss.
Prepare yourself for battle. You'll be fighting Geosgaeno, the big thing who
nearly ate you alive back in the day. Chances are you'll have fun killing him.
He's not too hard, with just over 30,000 HP. Keep in mind only Tidus, Wakka,
and Rikku will be able to help you underwater, so they need to able to handle
the beast. It's not a hard fight. Clear him out and enter the temple. There
is a chance that you might have grabbed a [No Encounters] weapon from
Geosgaeno. If so, hold on to it. It's a rare, neat glitch.
Go inside an begin to activate the statues. Each statue represents a temple
you've been to and grabbed the Destruction Sphere from. Bevelle's Statue will
always be activated, because you cannot return to Bevelle Temple. In order to
complete the temple's requirements, you've already grabbed the Destruction
Sphere. It's impossible not to, or else you wouldn't have left the temple. If
you need more convincing, refer to Chapter Eighteen.
The statues are arranged like so:
Besaid (Valefor)
Macalania (Shiva)
Zanarkand
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ] Bevelle (Bahamut)
[ ] Djose (Ixion)
[ ] Kilika (Ifrit)
Activate them all, grabbing the treasures you see, too. If you cannot get a
statue to light up, return to the Temple that you need and grab the Destruction
Sphere from there. Refer to the "Cloister of Trials" solutions chapter of this
guide for help. Before you can return to any temple, you must first revisit
the Bevelle Highbridge and view a cutscene there.
Once all of them are activated, you may proceed and get Anima, a truely
powerful aeon!
Anima will break the damage limit of 9999 by default.
Here is what Anima begins with, by default:

Anima's overdrive, Oblivion, deals non-elemental damage. Pain, her unique

special attack, is a magic attack that deals non-elemental damage. It is
extremely useful for defeating Jumbo Flan.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Magus Sisters

<ID029>
_______________________________________________________________________________
Before you can get the Magus Sisters, you'll have to unlock both Anima and
Yojimbo. So do that first.
Your next step is to head to Remien Temple. To get there, ride a chocobo to
the southern entrance (opposite of Zanarkand). You'll see a feather on the
ground there. Press X to jump with the feather and then proceed forward.
Enter the temple and defeat Belgemine's Aeons.
Here's a guide to defeating each aeon and ultimately grabbing the Flower
Sceptor.
Valefor (20,000 HP)
===================
Prizes: First Time
Second Time
All Others
- Summoner's Soul
- Lightning Gem x4
- Power Sphere x4
It's an easy battle. Valefor is incredibly weak, and he has a low HP. Not a
problem here. If you are having problems with Valefor, Yuna'a level is far too
low to defeat the other aeons.
Ifrit (28,000 HP)
=================
Prizes: First Time
- Aeon's Soul
Second Time
All Others
- X-Potion x30
- Mana Sphere x5
Don't use fire attacks. A nice dose of Ice attacks from Anima should eliminate
him in no time at all.
Ixion (30,000 HP)
=================
Prizes: First Time
All Others
- Chocobo Feather x10

- Power Sphere x8
Make sure you don't hit Ixion with Thunder attacks, as he absorbs them. Water
magic is your easiest option.
Shiva (20,000 HP)
=================
Prizes: First Time
All Others
- Mega Potion x60

- Star Curtain x6
Shiva will dodge most physical attacks. Use a steady dose of Firaga, and
she'll be gone. If you miss with too many physical attacks, she'll have an
overdrive, Diamond Dust, ready to use on your aeon.
Bahamut (35,000 HP)
===================
Prizes: First Time
All Others
- Flower Sceptor
- Mana Sphere x8
You'll get the Flower Sceptor the very first time you defeat Bahamut, which
means you won't be getting it again. To defeat Bahamut, use another big gun
aeon like Anima or even Shiva.
Now that you've grabbed the Flower Sceptor, you'll have to unlock Catoblepas in
the Monster Arena by catching one of each of these monsters, all found at Mt.
Gagazet:
Bandersnatch
Grat
Grenade
Bashura
Ahriman
Grendel
Dark Flan

Now talk to the Monster Arena owner. He'll cough up the Blossom Crown. Return
to the Remien Temple, head to the back, and then use the two newly acquired
items (Flower Sceptor and Blossum Crown) to unseal the door. You've just
grabbed the last aeons. They have an extremely long overdrive, but they can
break the damage limit automatically. Their default "attacks":
Commands
-------Do as you will.
Fight!
Help each other!
Lets the sister decide.

Attack with physical or special attack.
Cast supportive magic, such as Auto-Life.
Go, go!
Offense!
Defense!
What happened to you?
Combine powers!
One More Time
Dismiss
Attack with magic or skills.

Attack with magic attacks.
Defend with defensive skills.
Use Drain, Osmose, or Lancet attacks.
Unleash the triple overdrive attack.
Ask to perform the same action again.
Dismiss the aeons away like any other aeon.
Cindy, the rather fat aeon, will use mostly healing magic. With a little luck,
she'll cast Auto-Life on all your aeons! Her special attack is Camisade, a
strong jumping attack at one fiend.
The red aeon, Sandy, leads the way with Razzia and other powerful physical
attacks. Razzia lowers the fiend's defense. A good tactic before unleashing
the almighty Passado...
Mindy, the small bumblebee aeon will unleash Passado if you're lucky. Passado
does fifteen hits of damage. If your stats are maxed, she could be doing
99,999 damage PER HIT, for a total of nearly 1,500,000 damage in just one turn.
For all the Magus Sisters, use the One More Time command to ask the aeon to
perform the same move over. Especially useful if you want to cast a lot of
Auto-Life or unleash Passado a few times.

Chapter Thirty: Earning Gil

<ID030>
_______________________________________________________________________________
If you need to make gil quickly, there's few better methods than Scudobuio's
newest method of earning gil. Read through this and you'll be making tons of
gil in no time. Follow the steps in order and you will have no problems.
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6]
[7]
Use a Save Sphere to get to the Airship, and go to Kilika Port.

Go to the shop, just to the west and south of here the Airship leaves you.
Purchase as many armors as you can carry for Tidus.
Use a Save Sphere to get to the Airship, and go to the Calm Lands.
Go to the Monster Arena, to the east of where the Airship leaves you.
Fight Kottos, who drops 40 Healing Springs for an overkill.
Customize [SOS Regen] on the armor you purchased from Kilika by using the
Healing Springs Kottos dropped.
[8] Sell the armor for a tidy profit (average 33,371 Gil per armor).
[9] Repeat.
Upon checking, I've found 15 places at the end of the game that sell armor.
Kilika is your best deal for buying armor to customize, according to my
calculations. Now do the math:
The armor in Kilika costs 2,250 Gil. You can hold 178 items of equipment. For
the sake of a simple example, let us suppose your inventory is less than half
full, and that you can purchase 100 armors, for a total cost of 225,000.
Customizing 1 armor with [SOS Regen] uses 12 Healing Springs. To customize 100
armors, we will need 1,200 Healing Springs. Sounds like a lot, but we can get
40 Healing Springs for overkilling Kottos, which means that we need to get 40
Healing Springs from Kottos 30 times.
Fighting Kottos costs 6,000 Gil. If we only needed to

that would be 180,000 Gil. But Kottos also drops Dark
instead of Healing Springs. Conservatively (from the
result) assume that 1 in every 5 drops from Kottos is
we must fight Kottos 36 times, for a total of 216,000
fight Kottos 30 times,

Matter as a rare item,
perspective of our final
Dark Matter. That means
Gil.
That brings our overhead cost to 225,000 + 216,000 = 441,000 Gil.

Each armor that we customize already has [HP +5%] in one slot, and will sell
for 1/4 it's purchased price, a paltry 562 Gil, as calculated by the formula:
(25 * 15) + 187 = 562
By customizing [SOS Regen] in a second slot, we raise the selling price of this
weapon by more than 67 times to 37,781 Gil, as calculated by the formula:
(((25 + 5,000) * 15) + 187) / 2 = 37,781
(Note the changes to the formula in bold, which identify the differences from
the previous formula.) This brings our gross profit for 100 armors to
3,778,100 Gil.
Gross profit less overhead cost is net profit. Our net profit is thus:
3,778,100 - 441,000 = 3,337,100 (average 33,371 Gil
per armor)
Note that further customization does not significantly increase the selling
price of the armor, and only increases the time and/or Gil required by this
method. With max stats, the algorithm above is the fastest way to make Gil,
even faster than fighting Mimics or One-Eye. Or at least, no one has found a
faster way.
