o------- Item Checklist -------o At this point in the game I switched out
| | Wakka for Auron making a party of Tidus,
| Ice Brand.............._____ | Lulu and Auron. As previously mentioned
| Echo Ring.............._____ | Auron's attacked pierces enemy armour and
| Remedy................._____ | there are going to be a lot of armoured
| 2000 Gil..............._____ | enemies from this point on. Use the Save
| Ether.................._____ | Sphere on your left. You can now play
| Eye Drop..............._____ | Blitzball any time you want to. Head North
| Eye Drop..............._____ | down the path. Speak to the old man on the
| Eye Drop..............._____ | left beside the statue to learn a little bit
| Lv. 1 Key Sphere......._____ | of history. During the first battle you
| Al Bhed Primer VIII...._____ | will automatically get a tutorial for
| Mega-Potion............_____ | armoured enemies. Note that in just about
| Mega-Potion............_____ | every battle there are enemies tailored to
| Heat Lance............._____ | your character's specific abilities. The
| Al Bhed Primer IX......_____ | floating eyeball enemies can be hit easily
| Hi-Potion.............._____ | with Wakka, the small wolf enemies will fall
| Hi-Potion.............._____ | to Tidus, the armoured enemies will fall to
| Thunder Blade.........._____ | Auron and the different elements die by
| Scout.................._____ | Lulu's opposite elemental magic. Make your
| Fortune Sphere........._____ | way North and you'll be interrupted by the
| Mars Crest............._____ | historian. When he finishes talking go West
| | and behind the broken structure is a chest
o------------------------------o containing 'Ice Brand.' Proceed North to be
interrupted once again.You can go into the
little alcove on the East side. Speak to
the woman in green and accept her challenge.
o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o
| Boss: Ifrit | |
|---------------o--------------| Belgemine summons Ifrit so that makes |
| HP: 3500 | AP: 0 | Valefor your only option. Hopefully you've |
|---------------+--------------| levelled up Yuna at least a bit before this |
| MP: 200 | Gil: 0 | fight. One good idea is to get Valefor |
|---------------o--------------o to Overdrive status before the fight so |
| that you can use Energy Ray right off, |
| which is an extremely powerful attack. Alternate between using the |
| Blizzard magic and Shield. Use Shield on the second turn when Ifrit casts |
| Meteor Strike which he will do every other turn. When you get to |
| Overdrive status let loose an Energy Ray for over 1000 damage. Combined |
| with the Blizzard magic and a possible Overdrive from the start, you |
| should be able to take Ifrit out before he manages to eliminate Valefor. |

For winning the battle Belgemine gives o- Mi'ihen Highroad (Item) ----o
you an 'Echo Ring.' Go back to the main | |
path and head North to the next area. | Potion................50 Gil |
You'll pass by a Chocobo here, go North up | Phoenix Down.........100 Gil |
past the bird to find a chest containing | Antidote..............50 Gil |
'Remedy.' head West and talk to the little | Eye Drops.............50 Gil |
girl. Run East to the next screen. Follow | Echo Screen...........50 Gil |
the path North ignoring the little area to | Grenade..............300 Gil |
the West, but when you come to a small | Map...................50 Gil |
branch East, take it and open the chest | |
which is partially hidden by the pillar to o- Mi'ihen Highroad (Weapon) --o
find '2000 Gil.' Approach the wagon to the | |
North. When it starts moving talk to the | Warrior's Sword......150 Gil |
man on your left and he'll give you an | Enchanted Rod........150 Gil |
'Ether.' Walk further and speak to the two | Power Ball...........150 Gil |
men in the small area to the right. Further | Magical Mog..........150 Gil |
still is another woman in green to speak | Halberd..............225 Gil |
with. Go North, open the chest containing | Shimmering Blade.....225 Gil |
three 'Eye Drop' and then proceed Northwest | Pearl Shield.........250 Gil |
into the next area. Approach the building. | Pearl Ring...........250 Gil |
| Pearl Armguard.......250 Gil |
This is one of the many Travel Agencies | Pearl Bangle.........250 Gil |
you'll find throughout the game. There's a | Pearl Armlet.........250 Gil |
save point and shop, as well as an Al Bhed | Pearl Bracer.........250 Gil |
Compilation Sphere in case you missed the | |
one earlier. Save your game and leave, when o------------------------------o
you do a scene occurs. Save again in the
morning then take a couple steps. Some guy will interrupt and give you a
'Lv.1 Key Sphere.' Ket Spheres are special spheres you use on the Sphere Grid.
You may have noticed that along the way you find some sphere icons with a Lv.1
or Lv.2 symbol on them. You can't get past these, but if you open them with
the appropriate level Key Sphere, you can. Trey and leave the travel agency
to meet Rin, the owner of all these agencies. He gives you the 'Al Bhed
Primer Vol, VIII.' Before you leave he will also give you two 'Mega-Potion.'
Exit the agency and walk a few steps up to trigger a boss fight.
o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o
| Boss: Chocobo Eater | |
|---------------o--------------| There are two ways to fight this battle and |
| HP: 10,000 | AP: 90 | each one has its own potential advantage. |
|---------------+--------------| Fortunately the one with the slightly |
| MP: 5 | Gil: 970 | better reward is also the easier method. |
|---------------o--------------o This boss can be killed in two ways, by |
| either depleting its HP or by knocking it |
| over the edge. If you deplete its HP you get the experience and money, |
| if you knock it over the edge you get two Lv.1 Key Spheres. Considering |
| how common those are the experience reward is probably a lot more useful. |
| Star the battle by casting Haste on everyone in a priority order of Lulu, |
| the Auron then Tidus, or something approximately like that depending on |
| who you are using. Lulu should use Focus and then cast Fire every single |
| turn as it is the boss' weakness, she will be the major damage dealer in |
| this fight. The boss uses its huge arms to knock your party dangerously |
| close to the edge, but as you damage the boss you can knock in on its back |
| and keep hitting until as it slides in the direction of the other cliff. |
| It's pretty much a battle of attrition but what's likely going to happen |
| is an equal amount of push from both sides resulting in the boss just |
| eventually running out of HP. If you really want the spheres, you can try |
| the other method of knocking the boss off the cliff. Hit hard and fast. |

Return to the travel agency and save your game. Speak to the person standing
just outside the door to get a Chocobo to ride. If you really want to level
up as you go you actually have the options of making the trek on foot.Whatever
you choose head North toward the red destination marker. In this screen
there's not much to do but run down the path to the next area. In the next
area just beyond the bridge you will see a somewhat hard-to-see yellow object
on the left side of the path, this is a Chocobo feather. Examine it while
riding the Chocobo and it will jump across to the other side and open the
chest containing 'Heat Lance.' Back on the path just past the feather the 'Al
Bhed Primer Vol, IX' sits on the ground. In the next area kick open the chest
on your left to receive two 'Hi-Potion.' You'll notice this area has two
exits to the South, the one you came from and one leadings Southeast. Take
the Southeast exit while still riding the Chocobo.
To the South a bit you'll find another yellow Chocobo feather on the left side
of the path. Examine it and jump up to get the 'Thunder Blade.' On your way
down you also receive 'Scout.' Proceed South to the next area. There's a
long path going South here too, keep an eye on your minimap as you go along,
when you come to a Y shaped fork which is visible on the map, but not on the
screen, go Northeast and examine the feather. Kicking open the chest reveals
a 'Fortune Sphere.' Further South on the path you'll find O'aka and you can
lend him some Gil, then at the very bottom is a chest containing 'Mars
Crest.' Return back to the Crusader's checkpoint. Dona is standing here on
the right side, approach her for a quick scene. If you go any further you'll
automatically dismount the Chocobo. Head North and watch the quick scene.
Speak to the guy on the left and you can donate money to their operation,
10,000 Gil donation will get you a Moon Ring while 1000 Gil gets you an Ice
Lance. If you try and go North you can get the guy to explain Operation
Mi'ihen to you. Since you can't get through try heading South and you'll be
interrupted by someone familiar. Proceed North to Mushroom Rock Road.
