and expensive weapons, then run all the way
to the Southeast corner of the huge open area, not along the raised path you
came from, but the Southeast corner just above that. There are two chests
containing '5000 Gil' and '10,000 Gil.' Run Northwest toward the central
area, there's a scene that occurs when you arrive. Once you're done go around
behind it to find a chest containing 'Lv.2 Key Sphere.' Run as far West as
you can, at the tip of the cliff on the West edge you can find the 'Al Bhed
Primer Vol, XXIII.' If you talk to the person just North of here you can get
a Chocobo to ride, however you

Basically the idea is that the Chocobo will run straight ahead but turn
randomly because it has not yet been trained. Press left and right on the D-
pad to aim it forward again as it turns, the quicker you are able to do this
the faster you will get to the finish line. Do this in under 12.8 seconds and
the Chocobo will become ride-able. Talk to the person again to ride a
Chocobo. Head straight East and approach the green square on your minimap,
this is the battle arena. You can buy special "Catching" weapons here and
start collecting omnsters for the battle arena. It's a very long but very
rewarding process. If you return to the entrance of the Calm Lands on a
Chocobo and head East you can find a Chocobo Feather which will lead you to
the entrance of an optional area. You can explore if you wish but you also
may want to leave it until later in the game. When you're done make your way
Northeast to the next area beyond the Calm Lands. Be sure to save your game
before heading across the bridge for a scene and an encounter with...
o------------------------------o---------------------------------------------o
| Boss: Defender X | |
|---------------o--------------| To be honest the easiest and simplest way |
| HP: 64,000 | AP: 6600 | to fight this battle is to just buy a lot |
|---------------+--------------| of Phoenix Downs before coming here because |
| MP: 1 | Gil: 3500 | healing constantly in this fight just isn't |
|---------------o--------------o worth it. It makes no difference whether |
| you have 1 HP or 3000 HP most of the time, |
| in fact it wouldn't be dangerous at all to fight the battle with each |
| party member at one HP. The fact is all his attacks are super powerful, |
| his normal attack hits for 2000 and his Haymaker hits for 3500, but the |
| catch is that they only hit one character so you'll have no problem just |
| reviving them. If you casst Hastega at the start of the fight you'll |
| still have lots of attacking turns left before you have to revive again. |
| You can attack as much as you like, you'll notice the boss has a counter |
| attack called Blast Punch but it only hits you for 50% of your HP, so if |
| you had 2 HP it would only deal 1 damage. As your characters die you'll |
| have to recast or just cast Hastega. Use Water elemental spells and |
| attacks, to make Tidus' attack powerful just hit the boss with Auron's |
| Armor Break skill, Power Break unfortunately has no effect on the boss. |
| When he gets low on HP he will cast Mighty Guard which halves all your |
| damage, but by that point there shouldn't be much left of him to survive. |
| Considering how little HP matters in this fight it would be conceivable to |
| defeat him at almost any level assuming you had enough Phoenix Downs. |

Now head North, there are two paths here. Before going any further across the
bridge head down into the valley. As you go past the save point there's a
quick scene and cave. This dungeon is optional, I recommend leaving it for
now and coming back later. The main thing you want to do is run all the way
to the East. Opposite the man practicing his swordsmanship between two rock
pillars is the 'Rusty Sword.' This will come in handy later. Run back along
the path and return to the top. Head North across the bridge to Mt. Gagazet.
