Whenever you examine it, you will be given a clue to help you find the 10 Cactuars in the desert. After finding each one, you can play "Red Light, Green Light." If you touch the Cactuar before time runs out, you will have ti fight it. The outcome of the battle doen't matter. You will receive a sphere with the Cactuar's name. If you lose at Red Light, Green Light three times, you'll get a Sphere del Perdedor. Return to the rock with the picture and place whichever sphere you obtained into the rock. Afterwards, you receive a new clue about the next Cactuar's location. Here are the locations of all the Cactuars: Oasis - Near first Save Sphere Sanubia Desert-East - In the east, north of the tent with the Save Sphere Sanubia Desert-West - The sign near the Cactuar rock that says 20% off Sanubia Desert-Central - Near the ruins to the west. Look for the 2 Cactuars Sanubia Desert-East - Near the Save Sphere under the tent Sanubia Desert-Central - Treasure chest in the far west Sanubia Desert-West - Inside the sand whirlpool. You must exit and re-enter the area Oasis - Teleport back to the airship and go to outside deck Sanubia Desert - The Cactuar rock In order to stop the sandstorm that protects Cactuar Village, place nine spheres of any type into the rock. Inside the village are not only a lot of Cactuar encounters, but also two treasure chests. One of these contains the Mercury Sigil. The contents of the other treasure chest depend on your performance. Chocobo Training In the Calm Lands, you can find a lady on a chocobo. Speak to her and choose to train a chocobo. There are four training exercises that you must complete. Each time you successfully complete one, you win a prize. If you beat your best time the next time, you can win other prizes. Wobbly Chocobo Here you have to get the wild chocobo to cross the finish line under 12.8 seconds. The problem is that the chocobo doesn't want to move in a straight line. You have to steer it towards the finish line. After you complete this training exercise, you can ride a chocobo through the Calm Lands whenever you want by just asking the trainer. Dodger Chocobo This time the chocobo is much easier to steer. Unfortunately, you have to dodge the blitzballs and make it to the finish line under the time limit. If you get hit, the chocobo becomes momentarily stunned. Hyper Dodger Chocobo Now you have to evade blitzballs and birds. Getting hit will stop you for a moment. Again, you have to cross the finish line under the time limit. Catcher Chocobo This training exercise allows you to race the trainer in a chocobo race, starting from the entrance of the Calm Lands to the exit that leads to Mt. Gagazet. And yet again, you have to dodge blitzballs and birds. Getting hit adds three seconds to your total time, however, each ballon you collect will subtract three seconds. Just because the trainer finishes before you doesn't mean she won. After you defeat the trainer in the chocobo race, the guard at the north end will be gone, allowing you to enter and use the Celestial Mirror to aquire Tidus's legendary weapon. If you finish the race with a total time of 0:0:0, then the trainer will hand over the Sun Sigil, which allows you to activate Tidus's legendary weapon, Caladbolg. Monster Arena In the eastern part of the Calm Lands lies the monster arena. There you will meet the arena's owner, who tells you that all the monsters got out. You can then purchase weapons from him that bear the Capture ability. The owner asks you to caputer fiends from all over Spira. You need to either capture one of every fiend in an area, ten of every fiend of a specific species, or ten of every fiend in every area to receive rare items. If you complete a total of ten of either Species or Area Conquest, then the owner of the arena gives you the Mars Sigil, which can unlock the powers of Auron's legendary weapon. It is best to buy weapons with the Capture ability for characters that hit hard, like Tidus, Wakka, and Auron. You can do this side quest while also looking for Jecht's Spheres or Al Bhed Primers. Remiem Temple You can find the temple of Remiem by riding a chocobo to the southeastern part of the Calm Lands, right next to the entrance. Jump over the broken bridge using the chocobo feather and follow the path. Inside the temple, you will find Belgemine. You can battle all of the aeons you have by challenging Belgemine. She will reward you with rare items if you defeat her aeons. After you beat her Bahamut, she will give you the Flower Scepter, which can be used to aquire the Magus Sisters. If you defeat all of her aeons, you will be given the Moon Sigil, which helps power up Yuna's legendary weapon, Nirvana. The Cloudy Mirror can be obtained at Remiem Temple by winning the chocobo race on the spiralling paths underneath the temple. Lightning Dodging You may have noticed that there is always a thunderstorm over the Thunder Plains. Whenever the screen flashes, press X to dodge the incoming lightning. Once you've evaded two lightning bolts in a row, the book on the right inside the Travel Agency will tell you your record for dodging lightning. The book on the left side of the counter explains a bit about the Qactuar stones on the plains. After dodging a certain number of times in a row, you will receive items from the treasure chest outside the nearby Travel Agency. 5 times - 2 X-Potions 10 times - 2 Mega-Potions 20 times - 2 MP Spheres 50 times - 3 Strength Spheres 100 times - 3 HP Spheres 150 times - 4 Megalixers 200 times - Venus Sigil The only way to aquire the Venus Sigil, necessary to unlock the potential of Lulu's legendary weapon, you must evade 200 lightning bolts in a row without being hit once. This will be a lot easier if you have the No Encounter ability. If you ever get hit by a bolt of lightning, your characters' HP will be depleted. Getting struck many times will also earn you items. 30 times - Ether 80 times - Elixer |
