Hello friends and fans. You are entering the magical world of Final Fantasy
X-2. Yuna's story continues as the disappearance of Tidus is extremely
mysterious. I have spent a lot of time writing the FAQ/Walkthrough so that
other gamers will have an easier and more enjoyable time with any information
that is unclear to them in this game. I will cover every aspect of the game,
and I will try to answer all of your questions during your gaming experience.
Final Fantasy is a long and successful series. This game displays a new and
excellent way of upgrading your characters, and it introduces another amazing
story that will keep you hooked for as long as you can stand it. I am hoping
to cover all of the aspects of the game in the faq, but some information may
still be confusing or possibly even missing. If this is the case, you should
go ahead and e-mail me. If you want more information about e-mailing me, check
the E-mail Policy section (code = X2a2). Remember, if you would like to host
this FAQ on another site, check out the Legal Information (code = X2a4). If
you e-mail me, I will most likely allow you to use my Walkthrough.
Let us move onto Yuna's "personal" adventure. Good luck, have fun, and good
gaming.

Hey everyone. This is the e-mail policy portion of this FAQ. I am going to
list what I believe to be "acceptable" or "unacceptable" e-mails. Of course,
it would be very wise of you to correctly e-mail me if you are hoping for a
response. Also, if you have made a mistake when e-mailing me, it is very likely
I will block you so that you cannot send me any more messages. So, now that
you all know what will happen if you incorrectly e-mail me, you have to find
out what is acceptable and what is unacceptable. Please read below.
Do you have information that we have not covered in this FAQ? Well, read below.
If you happen to know something in the FAQ please e-mail me. I am always
interested in adding information from readers, but there are a few exceptions.
If this FAQ is NOT labeled "Final" as its version, your added information may
not neccessarily be used. I could possibly already know your information, but
have not gotten to that section yet. So, do not guarantee that I will post your
comments just because you were nice enough to e-mail us.
Now, for a little more about an "acceptable" e-mail, let's talk about the
subject of the e-mail. I get a lot of e-mails about other FAQs that I have
written, so I can easily miss your e-mail unless you identify it. So, in the
subject line, please include the words "Final Fantasy X-2" in your subject
line. This makes it a lot easier to sort things out in my e-mail. If you do
not refer to what game you are commenting/asking for help on, I will most
likely ignore the entire e-mail.
The last aspect that we would like to talk about is reading the FAQ. If you are
in doubt, check around the entire FAQ before coming to us for direct help. It
is likely that information is in other parts of the FAQ, and not neccessarily
the part that you are looking at during that very moment. Any comments that are
already answered in this FAQ will simply be ignored and blocked, as I have
taken a lot of time to write this guide for you, you can do a little something
for me as well.
If any of the above guidelines are not followed correctly your e-mails will be
considered "unacceptable" and I am sure you know what that means. I personally
think that it will be simple to follow the guidelines, and you will not have to
worry very much about the process. Thank you, again, for your cooperation.

|| |Characters/Story| ||
)( |X2b1| )(
===============================================================================
-----------------
~-The Gullwings-~
-----------------
The Gullwings are Sphere Hunters, made up of Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. They are
all relaxing after the "Calm" the period after Sin is destroyed. This period
does not last forever. During this time Yuna has decided that she wanted to
start finding spheres that hint at Spira's past. The beginning of the game
reveals that she seems to have started to join the Gullwings when she found
the sphere of a character who seemed to be Tidus, a crucial character in Final
Fantasy X.
--------
~-Yuna-~
--------
Yuna is the central character in the game. She is the daughter of Lord Braska,
a former summoner. She was a summoner that led a pilgrimage throughout Spira to
stop the evil Sin. Eventually she was successful, and she is honored in all
portions of Spira. Her main goal is to have fun and search for Spira's past
before Sin, but she recently discovers a sphere with Tidus, or what seems to be
Tidus. She is extremely excited to find more information about Tidus.
---------
~-Rikku-~
---------
Rikku is Yuna's cousin, and daughter of Cid, an Al Bhed. Her brother "brother"
leads an airship called the Celsius around for easier navigation in Spira. She
was a former guardian of Yuna during Yuna's pilgrimage to defeat Sin. Rikku is
usually happy and carefree, but she does not seem to be the smartest of the
bunch. Sometimes you do not even want to listen to her.
---------
~-Paine-~
---------
Paine is one of the mysterious characters in the game. She joined the
Gullwings as a warrior before Yuna did. She reminds a lot of people of Auron,
as she says little and seems to be wise when she speaks. She also has the most
strength of the Gullwings. Legend says that she is seaching for spheres in
order to discover something personal in her life.
-----------
~-Leblanc-~
-----------
Leblanc is basicall your rival sphere hunter. She walks around with a gang of
two characters, Logos and Ormi, who always get on your back and try to attack
you. But, again and again, her sidekicks fail to beat you and will always be
defeated by the powerful Gullwings, Yuna, Rikku and Paine. Leblanc's headquarter
is located in Guadosalam in the old palace of Seymour. She has a lot of Goon
servants and basically orders everyone around to do different tasks. That is
basically all there is to Leblanc and her gang.
-----------------------------
~-The Story (in a nutshell)-~
-----------------------------
Yuna is given a sphere from Kimahri which contains footage of Tidus, or at
least the looks of Tidus. This inspires Yuna to get out and search the large
world of Spira to find Tidus. This is basically the job of the Gullwings, who
happen to hunt down various spheres of Spira's history. The end can only
explain...

Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is some general information that you might want to learn about before I go
in-depth with each piece of information, and so you will be used to what is
going on if anything below happens to come up during the walkthrough, and
therefore the game.
-------------------
~-Hit Points-~ (HP)
-------------------
~Summary~
Each character has a certain number of Hit Points (HP) including enemies. This
number indicates your life. If you are attacked your HP will move down, and you
will be close to dieing. Also, to take away HP from other characters you can
attack them. Your HP will be displayed when you press Triangle to put your main
menu up, or when you are battling it is located in a box on the lower-right
hand corner of your screen.
~Info~
-Potions can gain back lost Hit Points
-Leveling Up will increase your maximum Hit Points
-Accessories can increase your maximum Hit Points
---------------------
~-Magic Points-~ (MP)
---------------------
~Summary~
Each character has a certain number of Magic Points (MP) including enemies. This
number indicates your ability to perform magic. Each magic spell costs magic
when you are inside of a battle. In general, the more magic a character knows,
the more MP the character has. Your MP is located directly right your HP, on
both your battle screen and your main menu.
~Info~
-Ethers can gain back lost Magic Points
-Accessories can increase your maximum Magic Points
-MP Absorb can gain back lost Magic Points
-----------------------
~-Ability Points-~ (AP)
-----------------------
~Summary~
Ability Points help you learn certain attacks and spells for a certain
dressphere. Each enemy, or fiend, that you encounter will have a designated
amount of AP. You can obtain their AP if you kill that particular fiend. Some
fiends have more AP than others, but most common fiends carry a total of 1 AP.
~Info~
-Bosses contain more AP than normal fiends
-Use your AP to learn the easier attacks or spells before the longer ones
-If you encounter more than one fiend, you will get the total amount of AP from
all of the fiends.
----------------
~-Save Spheres-~
----------------
Save spheres are blue balls that are found periodically throughout levels. You
will always start a save sphere when you load your game. Also, by going to a
save sphere you refill all of your HP, MP, and you cure all of your weaknesses.
Try to return to save spheres when you finish battles so that you do not have to
waist potions are other items.
-------------------
~-Treasure Chests-~
-------------------
Treasure chests are flooded in obvious and not so obvious places. Press X when
you reach a chest and you will open the chest and gain a prize of some sort.
Usually, the more hidden the chest the more useful the prize is. In some cases
of the game chests can be locked.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
)( |Section B3| )(
|| |Garment Grids| ||
)( |X2b3| )(
===============================================================================
This section was written to give you every bit of information needed to use
and understand garment grids.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are Garment Grids?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garment grids are grids that allow a character to advance in an ability. They
can be changed at any time of the game (except battles) and are very useful
when it comes to different dresspheres. If you want to use abilities that your
current dressphere does not have, you can use garment grids to obtain that
ability.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you use Garment Grids?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to use these garment grids that enhance your abilites, simply go to
the sub-section on the title menu labeled "Garment Grid." This will bring up a
list of garment grids on the left side of the screen. By selecting a certain
garment grid, you are going to have to pick the dresspheres that you wish to
place on the grid. This means, put your character's dresspheres on the grid.
Once you have filled the empty nodes with dresspheres, head back to the main
menu. Select the "Equip" sub menu. Head to garment grids and select the grid of
your choice. Whatever abilities that were in the grid you will now have with
your character. It is really neat!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garment Grids
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The grids are in no particular order, and list the number of empty nodes in
each grid, and what effect it has on the garment grid user.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Strategy from WhisperoftheDragons:obtain the Besaid Key from the shop keeper of
Besaid for 900 000 or get it from a tourist in the "Tourist Trap" mission. Use
the key to obtain the Search Sphere from the locked chest in the right room of
the temple. Go outside and hit X until you find a hotspot (one is at the groove
in between the shop and Crusader Lodge, one to the left of the path Waterfall
Way before the first bridge, just hold down left and run across, one is at the
FAR right ledge where Beclam and the Aurochs are, and one is located at the
ledge overseeing the lake where Tidus and Wakka jumped in from FFX, it's the
area to the right of the hidden cave, and the sphere is found to the left side
of the screen. For the numbers you need for the code, in the first sphere look
to the roof of the temple and zoom in three times to see it in a small steeple,
for the second just look ahead at the top of the mountains and zoom in three
times, in the third look out to the last waterfall of Waterfall Way and zoom in
three times, and for the last one look to the FAR left and zoom in to find a
barely distinguishible number in a palm tree.)
Now go to the hidden cave and use the random code given to open the door on
your right and go up the path to the end to find a chest with the GG. Whew!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are Dresspheres?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the dressphere portion of this FAQ. You are to understand and create
different abilities for each character so that you can master battle using a
combination of all three of the characters. Dresspheres basically take place of
the people in Final Fantasy X because you can transform into a different
"Special" so to speak. Of course, it is very crucial that you understand how to
change dresspheres, and is important to master certain dresspheres with certain
people. In a general statement, a dressphere provides characters with new
abilities and a new costume.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to select a Dressphere
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am sure you are very anxious to figure out how to chose your very own
dressphere. You have a few options on this. First of all, you can always have
one Garment Grid out for each character. In each Garment Grid lies many empty
nodes. These nodes can be filled in with small icons that represent different
dresspheres. When you select a Garment Grid, click on the certain Icon to pick
your dressphere for the moment. This is your first option of changing a
dressphere.
Now, there are MANY cases in which you will have to change your dressphere in
the middle of a battle so that you can perform abilities outside of the range
of your current dressphere. To do this, simply press L1 on the controller stick
during battle. This will allow you to change dresspheres from your selected
garment grid in an instant. I would highly recommend this for your battling,
especially when fighting a boss or enemy with a giant amount of HP.

When Do Battles Occur?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the battling system portion of the walkthrough. I will explain all
about battles, and how you should approach them. Remember, this portion has
nothing to do with defeating specific enemies. That can be found in the Enemy
portion of the FAQ. Anyway, let us explore the proccess of battles. Battles
come very frequently (with some exceptions if your character is holding an
accessory that disables battles) throughout walking in a certain part of Spira.
The indication of a battle is when the screen stops and breaks like a large
pain of glass. Of course, there are some parts of Spira that do not contain
Fiends (such as Luca). Now, once you are in the battle you will have to
understand the screen presented.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle Screen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|(1. This is the help section) (4. This is the Active/Wait Menu)|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|(2. This is the Command Menu) (3. This is the Status Menu)|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1.) The Help Section
--------------------
-Lists the function of each command you select.
-Helpful for beginners who are unfamiliar with items and abilities.
2.) Command Menu
----------------
-Shows the commands in which one character can perform.
-Allows you to attack during battle.
-Allows you to use items during battle.
-Allows you to use abilities during battle.
-When selecting a command, you can press over left or right to determine if you
want to attack one or all enemies.
3.) Status Menu
---------------
-Shows your Hit Points (HP)
-Shows your Magic Points (MP)
-Shows the name of each character
-Shows the ATB Gauge which fills at different times. When the ATB Gauge is
completely filled, the character can issue a command.
4.) Active/Wait Menu
--------------------
-Displays Constant battle (Active).
-Displays Turn battle (Wait).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During battle you may experience somes of the following actions. I just want to
clear any of the possible dillemas that could arrise during a particular
battle. If you know of any other possible actions, please inform me, as I might
have possibly missed some. Anyway, here are the ones that I have discovered...
--------
~-Miss-~
--------
When the word "Miss" appears after an attack, you are informed that the attack
was unsuccessful. The causes of miss could come from casting darkness on an
enemy to blind it, or having a high rating in evasion, which is the ability to
dodge enemies attacks.
----------------
~-Chain Attack-~
----------------
Chain attacks are VERY useful during battles. A chain attack occurs when you
attack an enemy multiple times in a row. With each chain attack, more and more
damage will be taken off, therefore increasing the mark of your attack on the
enemy. I would encourage you to chain attack a magic spell to create the
largest possible attack, taking off the most Hit Points on an enemy.
-----------
~-Protect-~
-----------
This spell, which does not cost MP, and is a regular action, reduces the amount
of HP driven off your character with PHYSICAL attacks. Therefore, Protect does
not have any effect on magical attacks. Please remember this before getting
extremely confused.
---------
~-Shell-~
---------
This spell, which does not cost MP, and is a regular action, reduces the amount
of HP driven off your character with MAGICAL attacks. Therefore, Protect does
not have any effect on physical attacks. Please remember this before getting
extremely confused.
-----------
~-Reflect-~
-----------
If a spell is casted by your opponent, it will be deflected off of you, and
bounced back onto the enemy, thereby attacking that enemy. If this case happens
during battle, cast reflect again, as it only lasts one deflection.
---------
~-Regen-~
---------
Gives small amounts of HP every turn to one character. Good for someone who
has little Hit Points, fighting against a strong opponent.
---------
~-Haste-~
---------
Haste is an awesome ability, and a MUST use. It allows one character to perform
more attacks during once cycle. If you cast Haste on all of your characters you
will get many more attacks, therefore increasing the chances of defeating your
opponents.
---------------------
~-Preemptive Strike-~
---------------------
This can appear randomly right as the battle is about to start. It basically
means that all three of your players will have the opportunity to attack the
other fiends before they can attack you. This gives you a good opportunity to
defeat some of the harder fiends by casting some of your best spells and
attacks.
------------
~-Ambushed-~
------------
This is the direct opposite of the Preemptive Strike feature. You are only able
to sit and wait as the other fiends attack you with their best attacks. It will
not hurt you to the extent of leaving the battle, but it will be worse off than
usual. So, try to cure of recover some health if this happens.
===============================================================================

|| |Main Menu| ||
)( |X2b6| )(
===============================================================================
This is the Main Menu section of the FAQ. It is purposed to tell you everything
you want to know about Main Menus, and maybe even more! Let's get to the basic
stuff. First of all, you want to ACCESS the main menu I assume? Well, when you
are running around in a random world, simply press the Triangel button. This
will access the main menu. Along the left column of the menu are your basic
options. It looks something like this...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Items MM01
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this portion of the main menu, you are able to use certain items outside of
battle in order for healing, curing, or whatever you may want to do with your
characters. There are three subsections under the Items menu:
[Use] which allows you to use items in order for curing, healing, and other
things. It is very wise to heal your characters using this method after a
battle. Also, you cannot use all items, as some are only accessible in a
battle, so don't try to use a grenade on someone!
[Sort] which allows you to sort your items in the way you please. There are two
ways of sorting. You can manually do it so that your most used items are
going to appear at the top, or you can automatically sort the items so
that you don't have to waist as much time.
[Key] These are special items that are given to you during the course of the
game. You cannot use the items at any time, but the game will use the
items for your when the time is right. You can view scripts of information
on the items if you want, otherwise this section is not very helpful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
White Magic MM02
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is at times sort of useful, but I do not like to use it much. You are able
to use White Magic spells even when you are not in battle, by simply using this
button. You can only use the abilities that you have learned by gaining AP, and
you have to select the correct character whom which has learned the ability.
One of the downsides of this is that each spell still costs MP, or Magic Points
so potions and other cures may be a bit cheaper. Nothing more to say about this
section. Just cure your characters here!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equip MM03
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a button that you will be using quite a bit. There are many things in
which you can choose in this menu. Let us get started. There are three main
sub-sections in the equip menu: Garment Grids, Dresspheres, and Accessories.
[Garment Grids] if you do not know anything about Garment Grids, you might want
to look at the Garment Grid section, or at least in the Garment
Grid part of this Main Menu section. All you have to know for
the equip menu is that you can select the Garment Grid of your
liking here. This basically leads into the second option of
the mini parts of the Equip menu.
[Dresspheres] Well, this is where you actually choose your Garment Grid. You
can put your selected dresspheres on each Garment Grid, and
then select one of those dresspheres on that Grid. Of course,
this means that you must choose your Garment Grid before you
can choose your dressphere, and equip them.
[Accessories] You have two slots open to place your selection of accessories
in which you have gained throughout the game. They will add to
your stats, or even to your abilities, so this is a good place
to take advantage of upcoming bosses' weaknesses. Just put
something that can absorb enemy attacks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garment Grid MM04
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This, again, will not be very in-depth when it comes to Garment Grids. If you
want to know some hardcore information about Garment Grids, just check out the
Garment Grid section. In this menu you can arrange the dresspheres in each of
the Garment Grids. You can have the computer automatically fill in certain
Garment Grids, or you can arrange them yourself manually. It is all up to you,
but make sure that you have the Dressphere that you want in each Garment Grid.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abilities MM05
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my personal favorite section of the Main Menu, and you will be viewing
it to pick the abilities that you want to learn. This is what I would consider
the "motivational" section of the game. You will always want to learn more
abilities to master your characters. You will also see how close you are to
mastering a dressphere by looking at your percents given. If you have a golden
crown instead of percent, you will have Mastered the dressphere. If you want to
know the effects of certain abilities, check out my dressphere section. It
lists all of the abilities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accessories MM06
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Accessories menu will basically give you explanations of what each
accessory actually does. You can also sort the accessories in two different
ways...
[Sort] which allows you to sort your accessories in the way you please. There
are two ways of sorting. You can manually do it so that your most used
accessories are going to appear at the top, or you can automatically
sort the accessories so that you don't have to waist as much time.
If you want more information about the Accessories, simply head over to my
Accessories section of this FAQ. You will get to know EVERYTHING you wanted to
know about Accessories plus some.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dresspheres MM07
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This portion of the main menu basically just explains the Dresspheres (of
course, only the dresspheres that you have obtained up to whatever point you
are in the game). You can view and read a little of information about each of
the dresspheres as well. Nothing much else to say about this section of the
main menu.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration MM08
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the option menu for the game. I will list the options below...
[Spherechange]
~Normal~ A Longer Version of changing dresspheres during battle.
~Short~ A Short version of changing dresspheres during battle.
~Off~ An instant change of dresspheres during battle.
[ATB Speed]
~Fast~ The battle gauge will go really fast, causing you to act quickly.
~Normal~ The battle gauge will go normal, causing you to go moderately.
~Slow~ The battle gauge will go slow, allowing lots of time to act.
[ATB Mode]
~Active~ Enemies can always attack you.
~Wait~ Enemies cannot attack you when you are searching for something in the
menu scrolls.
[Cursor]
~Default~ You pick your commands during battle.
~Memory~ The computer will remember your last command, and repeat it. This is
not recomended.
[Battle Help]
~On~ Gives you helpful hints during the course of battle.
~Off~ Does not give you helpful hints during battle.
[Vibration]
~On~ There is vibration on the controller.
~Off~ There is no vibration on the controller.
[Subtitles]
~On~ Subtitles are shown when cutscenes involve conversations.
~Off~ Subtitles are not shown when cutscenes involve conversations.
[Subtitle Names]
~On~ Explains who is speaking inside of subtitles.
~Off~ Turns the person who is speaking anonymous on subtitles.
[Guide Map]
~On~ Turns the Mini-Map on when walking around Spira.
~Off~ Turns the Mini-Map off when walking around Spira.
[Sound]
~Mono~ Turns Sound to Mono type.
~Stereo~ Turns Sound to Stereo type.
[Screen Position]
~This simply allows you to adjust the position of the screen to fit your TV.~

===============================================================================
Welcome to the walkthrough portion of this FAQ. There will be in-depth details
on how to defeat bosses, fiends, and every mission of the game. This
walkthrough will cover 100% of the game. Remember, I will inform you when you
HAVE to do something and when something is optional for completion percentage
purposes. Please to do not hesitate to skip parts of the walkthrough as some
things may not be as important as others, although everything placed in this
FAQ does have some significance.
So, to start out...Place your Final Fantasy X-2 game in your Playstation 2.
You will be presented with some credits. You can watch them later, as I am
sure you want to get started with this amazing fantasy. You will come to two
different options: New Game, and Load. Of course, select new game and the
opening scene will occur. I will not go through the scenes, as you can easily
watch them your self. I will place headers for new missions as follows: First
the name of the place, second the chapter, third the amount of percent you
can complete in this section, the mission number, the code, and the number of
fiends. Remember, the walkthrough is divided into five chapters, just like the
game is.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Luca | Chapter 1 | % obtainable = 1.6% | Mission 1* | x21c | 6 fiends
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will start off going down the side of a level of Luca. There will be Goons
and she-goons along the way. You can defeat them by looking below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goon | 29HP | 8MP | 1AP | 1EXP | 30 Gil Drop | 200 Gil Steal | Chapter 1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Defeat: These are simple characters in the game that can be defeated
using simple attacks. There is no point in waisting MP on these characters, so
use chain attacks to take off the most damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head forward and touch the moogle that is bending down on the crates. This will
give you some percentage points. Then head to the third dock. You will be hit
with a cutscene and will face your first boss, the mysterious creature who
looks like Yuna, and a couple goons.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
???? | 82HP | 9999MP | 1AP | 3EXP | 100 Gil Drop | 300 Gil Steal | Chapter 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Defeat: You are Rikku and Paine, and you are facing someone who looks
like Yuna and two goons. First, take out the goons so they do not cause any
trouble. Then steal from the mysterious character to obtain a grenade. Use this
on the character to take off maximum damage. Then attack the character using
chain attacks. That is, rapidly attack twice in a row. This will take of more
damage than normal. She will eventually fall.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will lead to a new boss battle against Logos and Ormi...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logos | 86HP | 18MP | 1AP | 3EXP | 60 Gil Drop | 200 Gil Steal | Chapter 1 2 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Immunities|
----------
Fire: None
Ice: None
Water: None

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Defeat: You are Rikku and Paine at first, but Yuna finally reveals her
self. You will understand the story later. Anyway, steal items from both of the
characters. Then, take out logos with as many attacks as possible. He is only
86HP, so he should be taken out easily in the beginning. The reason for
attacking him first is because he uses potions that restore Ormi's health. Once
he is done, use chain attacks. He is a slow attacker, so it should be easy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will lead into the final boss battle of the first mission, the true person
who was pretending to be Yuna.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Defeat: Start out by pressing L1 to access the menu that allows you to
change your dresspheres during battle. First, change to Songstress. Then cast
Darkness on Leblanc. She will almost always miss you now. Keep casting this
spell on her, as it goes away at times. Then attack her with chain attacks and
steal from her. She will fall to your knees, but she is not dead...

==========================*O Mission Complete O*===============================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Celsius | Chapter 1 | % obtainable = 1.8% | Required | x22c | 0 fiends
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to your airship. Your crew consists of Yuna, Rikku, Paine, Shinra,
Buddy, and Brother. After the cutscene, talk to everyone. First Paine and
Rikku to get some background on the characters. Then head over to Brother. He
will give you three Al Bhed Primers (they decipher the Al Bhed language) and
Buddy will give you one.
Then talk to Shinra, the small kid to the right of the large sphere ball in the
center of the room. Select Treasure Spheres from the list. Select "Journey's
Start" to see an interesting scene with...ahh, see it for yourself. Then talk
to Shinra again. Select the garment grid tuturial. If you complete this
tutorial you will gain the Vanguard Garment Grid.
Now, head to the back of the room, through the doors. You will aproach a save
sphere. If you press X at these save spheres you can save your game. Do so
at this moment. Now, head to the elevator opposite the door you came in. Select
the Engine Room to obtain a few supplies. Head to the main section of the room
and open the chests by pressing X. They contain: Ether, Remedy (x3), Phoenix
Down (x4), and Potion (x4).
Take the elevator to the cabin to complete a bit more. There will be a Hypello
on the right. We all love how these creatures talk. Now, select the Gullstore.

I would recommend staying away from buying accessories because you will obtain
all of them for free at a later time. If you want, you can purchase some
potions for future emergencies. Anyway, once you are done buying, select rest.

Upon arriving you will see an interesting cutscene. Eventually you will get
control of Yuna. You will learn a new feature from FFx2, the climb. You can
press circle to climb and jump when running outside of battle. After climbing
the first rock, drop down and open the chest. You will get a YELLOW RING! Head
back up the rock and jump to the ledge with Rikku and Paine. Continue climbing
and head down to the save sphere. Save your progress.
Continue up to the machina and the elevator. Press the machina to activate the
elevator. The girls will all ride down. Head left and up the ledge to claim an
ELIXIR in a chest! Then head back to the elevator and up some more ledges. This
will lead you to a high road. Leblanc, Logos, and Ormi meet you once again.
They are searching for the same sphere! You must defeat them, and beat them to
the sphere.

How to Defeat: Make sure Yuna is equiped with the Songstress dressphere. Cast
darkness on all of the characters. Keep doing this on her turns, as it will
make the battle much easier. They will miss a lot. Also, steal accessories from
the three characters. It will save you a lot of Gil. Have Rikku and Paine do
chain attacks, with Rikku stealing first. This will eventually knock all three
of the enemies out...but not forever.

You will now have a timer. You have to beat the trio to the top before they can
get up there. You will not lose time when you are in battles, but it will go
down when you are out of battles. Head up the road and jump over to the left.
You have to keep climbing to the top. While you are climbing, you may/may not
come in contact to the following enemies, but you are sure to meet up with some
of these enemies.

to do is use spells or shoot a gun. Warriors may be weak, as they are not that
fast and can miss a lot. Try to avoid attacking with warriors and use items
with them.

Ok, now head into the temple. Pass the jumps (as you can see, this is close to
a tutorial) to the otherside. You can drop below on the first pit to claim a
WHITE RING! Head throgh the tunnels and battle the same fiends I mentioned at
the top. They are all possible at any time.
Once you get out, Ormi will order some goons and recoils. Refer above to see
how to beat them. Then, head across the bridge. Midway, press circle to jump to
the platform. Head right all the way to the end to get a STAR PENDANT! Then
head back. Right after the place in which you jumped up here, jump to a ledge
to the right.
