Tidus: Caladbolg

Race and defeat the Chocobo trainer in the Calm Lands. After winning the race, walk to

return to the monster arena owner. He will produce a treasure chest, containing the
weapon.

Mushroom Rock Road. Place the Rusty Sword before the statue to reveal a glyph. Touch it to
reveal the Masamune's secret location.

Game Shark Codes

Note: Only activate codes after you have completeed the Sphere Grid
Tutorial.

Hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and your Chocobo will be easier to steer.

Yojimbo: In the Calm Lands, circle past the right side of the bridge leading to Mt.
Gagazet, and descend into the gorge below. To the left of the Save Sphere is the Cavern
of the Stolen Fayth. Proceed through the cave until you encounter a spirit. Defeat
Yojimbo and speak to him to negotiate a fee for his services. 

  Anima: Go to Baaj Temple with the Airship. Dive into the water and fight Geosgaeno.
Defeat it and swim toward the underwater temple entrance. Approach the six statues on
either side. There is one hidden item in each of Spira's six Cloisters of Trails. You
should have five of these items, now get the last one from Zanarkand Dome. Solve the
puzzle there and return with the last item and get your prize Aeon. 

  The Magus Sisters: Capture all of the required types of fiends on Mt. Gagazet and
return to the monster arena and get the Blossom Crown. You must possess all other Aeons,
including Yojimbo and Anima. Next, go to Remiem Temple. Defeat Spathi, and receive the
Flower Scepter. After defeating all of the Aeons at Remiem Temple, use the Blossom Brown
and the Flower Scepter on the door in the back to unseal it and acquire the Magus
Sisters.

In the Thunder Plains, if you can dodge the lightning a certain number of times in a
row, you will be rewarded with items. Additionally, if you get struck by lightning 30
times, you get an Ether. If you get hit 80 times, you get an Elixir.

At the very beginning of the game, as you head down the long road to get to the
Blitzball stadium, talk to the girl running around who talks about tickets more than
once. Eventually she will say that tickets are sold out, and will ask if you can get
tickets for her. Tell her you can, and she will reward you with two Potions.

Near the start of the game, when you get on the S.S. Liki after getting Yuna, you
should be able to explore the ship for a little bit. When you get to walk around, go
downstairs. A man will talk to you about your clothes. After he is done talking, go to
the only open room (on the left side) in the hallway. You should see a seasick man with
his head out the window. On the far right of the screen, you should see a suitcase
similar to the one Yuna was going to bring on the boat. Go up to it and press X to kick
it. You will receive a Potion. Keep kicking it to get about fifteen free Potions.

When you meet Yukku on the salvaged ship, talk to the man with a gun that has a knife
on it. Talk to Yukku and talk to the other person. You can only understand Yukku, but
after you talk to them all you will get three Potions.

Hint: How To Unlock Nemesis 

Nemesis is the possibly the hardest monster in the entire game. To acquire the challenge
to take on this foe you must:

Capture 10 (ten) of every monster in all areas.

Defeat every normal monster in every area in the arena.

Defeat all of the created monsters in Species/Area Conquest and Original.

After accomplishing these tasks the arena owner creates Nemesis. Be prepared this son of
a gun is hard. 

Unlockable: Get Yojimbo 

Go to the cavern of the stolen faith and you will encounter a dead summoner who calls
Yojimbo. Beat him and continue on to the teleport pad. Choose to travel to the chamber of
Fyth and Yojimbo will ask you why you seek his services. You must answer, "To defeat the
most powerful of enemies." 

Yojimbo will then ask 250,000 gil for his services. Offer him half of that amount but add
one gil more. So if he asks 250,000 offer 125,001 instead. Then do the same until he asks
205,000. When he asks 205,000 offer 200,000 and he will most likely accept the offer. You
can offer the full 205,000 gil to hire him for sure, but if you don't mind losing an extra
5,000 gil.

Unlockable: Magus Sisters 

Capture all the required fiends on Mt. Gagazet then return to the monster arena owner in
the Calm Lands. As a reward, the arena owner gives you the BLOSSOM CROWN. You must also
possess all of the other aeons, including Yojimbo and Anima. 

Next, go to Remiem Temple in the Calm Lands. After you defeat Spathi, Belgemine will give
you the FLOWER SCEPTER. After defeating all the aeons at Remeim Temple, use the Blossom
Crown and Flower Scepter on the door in the back to unseal it and acquire the Magus
Sisters.

Hint: Character Overdrives 

Tidus

Tidus learns new Overdrive techniques simply by using his old ones. You have to
successfully pull off an Overdrive for it to count. 

Spiral Cut (available from start) 

Slice & Dice (perform 10 Overdrives) 

Energy Rain (perform 30 Overdrives) 

Blitz Ace (perform 80 Overdrives) 

Yuna

Yuna's Overdrive lets her summon an aeon with its Overdrive gauge completely filled. She
is not able to learn specific techniques like the other characters. 

Auron

Collect the Jecht, Auron, and Braska spheres that are hidden throughout Spira to teach
Auron new techniques.

Dragon Fang (available from start) 

Shooting Star (find one sphere) 

Banishing Blade (find three spheres) 

Tornado (find all 10 spheres) 

Locations:

Jecht Sphere: Macalania Forest (after Spherimorph fight) 

Jecht Sphere: Besaid Village (next to temple) 

Jecht Sphere: S.S. Liki (on the bridge in Besaid) 

Jecht Sphere: Luca Stadium (basement level A) 

Jecht Sphere: Mi-ihen Highroad (southern Old Road) 

Auron's Sphere: Mushroom Rock Road (cliff) 

Jecht Sphere: Moonflow (South Wharf) 

Jecht Sphere: Thunder Plains (southern part) 

Jecht Sphere: Macalania Woods (southern area) 

Braska's Sphere: Mt. Gagazet (Mountain Trail) 

Kihmari

Kihmari can learn new techniques from his enemies by using the Lancet ability. Try this
move on every fiend you meet (or switch Kihmari in whenever one of the following attacks
is used on you) to build up his repertoire of Overdrives. Be sure to learn his most
powerful move, Nova, from the Omega Weapon. 

Jump 

Fire Breath 

Seed Cannon 

Self-Destruct 

Thrust Kick 

Stone Breath 

Aqua Breath 

Doom 

White Wind 

Bad Breath 

Mighty Guard 

Nova 

Wakka

Wakka is a Blitzball player, so it's only fitting that his new techniques are unlocked by
playing Blitzball. By winning in the League and Tournaments you can expand your repertoire
to the following overdrives: 

Element Reels (available from start) 

Attack Reels 

Status Reels 

Aurochs Reels 

Lulu

Lulu's Fury Overdrive allows her to cast any black magic spell multiple times in a row
without losing MP. Rotate the right analog stick clockwise as fast as you can to increase
the number of attacks. 

Rikku

Rikku's Overdrive ability allows her to mix two items together for devastating attacks or
helpful potions. 

Hint: Cleric ... I Need Healing. OK 

If you're running low on health and your near a save sphere, select the sphere but don't
save. Then exit the sphere (saved or not) and all of your characters will be at full HP
and MP. This helps save on healing items. 

Hint: Free Chocobo Rides 

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). Complete the Wobbly Chocobo
training exercise (cross the finish line with 12.8 seconds or less) and you will be able
to ride a chocobo for free in the Calm Lands by talking to a trainer. 

Hint: Get Wakka and Rin on the Aurochs 

There is a way to get Wakka on your blitzball team after the initial Yevon Cup tourney
and his contract is for 1 gil per game. First you must win the tourney by beating the
Luca Goers and unlock the ability to play via save points. Then, get your scout level to
max. When you are on the machina airship after Cid destroys Home, go to Wakka and press
the square button as if you were trying to sign anyone else. His Blitz stats will pop up
and you have the ability to sign him for one gil a game. He starts at level four but
advances quickly and will soon be better than Tidus. Also, you can sign Rin, the travel
agency Al Bhed on the airship at the same time as well. He is in one of the main
hallways. 

Hint: Healing Aeons 

You can heal most of your aeons (like Ifrit) by using black magic during battle mode and
casting a spell that has the same element as the aeon that needs healing. Cast it on the
character that has the wounded aeon equipped. 

Hint: Jecht Shot 

To teach Tidus his father's signature Blitzball move, look for a ball on the deck of the
S.S. Winno. Press the circle button and you will be challenged to a quick button-pressing
exercise. If you didn't get it on your first trip to Luca, don't worry. You can always go
back once you get the airship and repeat the challenge. You can win more powerful Jecht
Shot moves by winning Blitzball tournaments.  

Hint: Secret Locations 

There are a number of secret locations in FFX that you can access by searching the world
map with your airship, or by simply entering passwords.
