Once you win it, you can ride chocobos for free in the Calm Lands by talking to trainers, so remember that. The first one, Wobbly Chocobo, requires you to cross the finish line with 12.8 seconds or less on the clock. You will have to complete four training exercises. Good luck.Ĭaladbolg Character: Tidus Required items: Sun Crest, Sun Sigil Abilities: Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Evade & Counter, Magic CounterĬaladbolg: Go to the Calm Lands and become a chocobo trainer by talking to the female chocobo rider (leave the area and come back in on foot if she's not there). With that out of the way, you can go hunting for the legendary weapons. Talk to him, then use the Cloudy Mirror on the crystal and it will change into the Celestial Mirror. Go up to find the son standing in front of a large crystal. Talk to him to reunite him with his folks, then head south to find a path made from glowing fog and light leading up. They will tell you that they're looking for daddy - so head out and find the man (along with some other people) at the campsite. Look for the mother and son close to the save spot in the south of the woods. It's time to go back to Baaj Temple.Ĭelestial Mirror: Now head back to Macalania Woods to get the Celestial Mirror. You will get the Magistral Rod as a reward. Grab it and put it into the hole in the large room right next to the monitor to make it blow up. Step on all seven of them (there are three in the first room and four in the large hall) to open up a Destruction Sphere in the first room. To get it, go to Zanarkand Dome and look for the white floor panels. Five of them will now activate, but you still need the last one. You will find six statues that correspond to the six Cloisters of Trials in Spira. Use elemental magic and overdrives to win the battle (Geosgaeno is immune to almost everything else), then enter the temple. This is a tough fight, so be sure to equip anti-stone/death armor if you have it - or stock up on Soft items if you don't. If you've solved all the puzzles, enter the coordinates for Baaj temple (X:14 Y:60 - move around a bit and press X to find the location) in the airship and make your way to the underwater temple entrance. Note that the monks won't let you into the temples unless you have spoken to Maester Mika on High Road. If you're unsure whether you left some of them unsolved, go back and do them now. First, make sure that you have solved all the destruction sphere puzzles in each of the previous five Cloisters of Trials. Sure, it's expensive, but they allow you to warp to "greener pastures" on your sphere grid - so it may be worth your money if you want to strengthen a character.Īnima You've seen this chained bad boy before - now it's time to claim the powerful aeon as your own. Note that you can get some valuable Teleport Spheres from Yojimbo if you offer him triple his asking price. You will probably end up paying as little as 200,000 or as much as 250,000. Don't worry if Yojimbo turns you down - you can always repeat the procedure. Yojimbo's asking price and final price differ - sometimes he'll turn down your offer, sometimes he'll entertain it. He will make a new offer and you should respond by raising your bid.
Answer "To defeat the most powerful of enemies" to his question to get the lowest asking price, then offer Yojimbo half of what he's asking for plus 1 Gil. Talk to Yojimbo and you will find out that this aeon doesn't work for free. When you're done, go to the Chamber of the Fayth. Before you leave the cavern, use the warp pads to the left and right to get your hands on some helpful items, such as the Flexible Arm and X-Potions. Defeat him using your aeons (in overdrive) and your most powerful magic attacks. Inside, walk deep into the cavern until you bump into the ghost of a dead summoner - who will call upon the aeon known as Yojimbo. Here, you will find a save point and the entrance to the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth.
To find Yojimbo, get your butt to the Calm Lands, go to the northeastern exit and pass underneath the bridge to go the area at the end of the gorge (this is where you fought Defender X - in case you've forgotten). But he comes at a price - so save up at least 200,000 Gil before you go hunting for Yojimbo.
Yojimbo Fans of the Kurosawa movie of the same name will get a kick out of the fact that there's an aeon named Yojimbo hidden in this game. There are three more aeons that you can find in Final Fantasy X that are not required to finish the game - but that make beating tough fiends a whole lot easier.
