For some background information, I restarted my original FFX game because i missed an al bhed primer, because i really wanted to have everything in the game.

So it took me all summer to get up to the point where I was at, and that was the point where you obtain the airship.

After reading the strategy guide, it tells me that i needed to obtain EVERY secret item from the six temples of Yevon in order to acquire Anima. I believe I missed one secret item in one of the temples, by pure accident (I ran into the wrong place...)

I would HATE to start my game over again.

My question is, is it impossible to acquire Anima if you haven't got the secret items from the temples? And, if i haven't got all of the secret items, is there a way that I can go back and get them ???

Yes, there is, but some Temples, I forget which ones, you have to fight a Dark Aeon to enter.

Ok. I missed the treasure at Djose Temple. But when I go to Djose temple, A bunch of yevon preists run after me and shout, "No traitors aloud!" and they don't even let me come near the temple. How do I get in? Can I get in the temple after go to the Highbridge in Bevelle?

Not too sure on the Djose one, but there is no way back into Bevelle temple, no way.But don't worry you have to use the special sphere to complete the Trial.900 posts!!

Okay, time to clear everything up:

- Yes, you may sometimes run into Dark Aeons going back to the temples, but that's only for those playing the International version of the game. Those playing any other version don't have to worry about it.

- About the Bevelle temple --- yes, you do have to use the Destruction Sphere there, but the thing is --- you obtain the Destruction treasure automatically. There is no way to miss it, you will always get it and so you can never be screwed out of getting Anima. Some people think that the Lance for Kimahri is the Destruction treasure, but it's not --- the Destruction treasure is the one in the chest blocking the path out that you have to open to get by.


And now for the biggest thing, and the thing that will be of help to polluted_minds:


Yes, you have it exactly right. The reason you're being chased out of Djose Temple is that the soldiers at the Temples still consider Yuna to be a traitor. You need to head over and take care of the Highbridge stuff (don't worry, it won't hold you up too long). Shelinda will declare Yuna's being a traitor to be a false rumor, the news will spread out and you'll be allowed in the Temples once again. You can then redo all of the Trials --- if you're hardcore, you may want to go back and redo all of them (except Bevelle, of course, because you can't) because you get bonus Spheres for revisiting each one and recompleting the Trials.

This is great news! Now I just need to make sure I can beat Dark Shiva! Any idea what items are needed, so I can see which temples I need to revisit?? Cheers.

In Baaj Temple, see which statues don't light up. That will indicate which temples you still need to complete.

Thanks alot for the help, guys. I was really worried there for a second!

Guys...how exactly do I recognize which statues at the Baaj Temple represent each other Temple?????

I don't remember but i think the coulors of the spheres they hold(?) help you and i think the statues also indicate it

Sorry but i can't remember very well Baaj Temple

no thanks thats ok! the statues do show the colors but not so sure which these represent.... Im missing like 3...I'll check it today

Top left: Besaid
Middle left: Macalania
Bottom left: Zanarkand
Top right: Bevelle
Middle right: Djose
Bottom right: Kilika

SHIT!! THANKS jEWELS

...those directions would be if we look the Baaj Temple room from top correct?

lol

Yeah I'm sure Jewel means it that way. wait, if you were following the guide, wouldn't you have got the destruction sphere and everyhing?

oh OK THNKS....I know I have Zanarkand, Kilika, Bevelle(byhard) spheres and .... i'll check the rest later today... guess its Djose i dont have

I haven't followed no guide...just checked it when i was really stuck

Sorry dude, I'll check the messages properly next time ;)

Guys...how exactly do I recognize which statues at the Baaj Temple represent each other Temple?????

You dont, the same thing happened to me, i forgot one. One is on fire, one has ice around it, one looks like lightning, while the others are damn hard to tell apart. Make sure you can tell you have those 3, if so, you can go to the other 3 and play through them. Just write the ones you got down, so you have a list for the future.

THATS OK. CHILL.

TARGAT, I think boba is just shooting off. Those instructions work those find. The symbols that you see on the pillars are symbols assoicated with the temples. One other you might check is see if you have you have the Destruction treasures that you would have attained from those areas. They're generally not unique items, but if you have them, it might help a little.

Great Agent0042, THNKS

Sure, for the people that know the names of the Temples. Trying a different approach to the same info, like
"One other you might check is see if you have you have the Destruction treasures that you would have attained from those areas. They're generally not unique items, but if you have them, it might help a little."

That list is when Tidus is facing forward, away from the screen. If you bothered to pay attention to the story you would have no trouble figuring out which name corresponds to which temple. Since the treasures are not unique and can also be used, simply checking your inventory is not enough. Besides you have to find out which temple gives you which treasure, and in order to display that information you'd be using the names of the temples anyway.

Of course you're free to waste your time just guessing away and completing trials that don't need completing.

If you haven't been back to any of the temples, there are new treasures in the Chambers of the Fayth for most of them anyway. You should recomplete them all if you want those.

Hi Jewels , Boba

Shit...I checked the layout you gave me...im only missing the middle-left and middle-right statues to light up. According to your layout those would be Macalania and Djose Temples. So I went and did the Cloiyster of Trials once again..finished and got to the chambers...all the treasure chests were opened already and nothing in there...

I went to Baaj Temples again...still nothing happened...what may be missing???? pls help

HI Agent0042...

I need to go back to all temples again? (except bevelle)

Happy Birthday by the way.

Ok Lets figure this out, i have 2 things for you...

1. Do you see 3 spears with Fire, Ice, and Lightning around them? If so mark those 3 temples off.

2. The first one on the left im 100% positive it is from the first temple. I know because i forgot that one, and had to go back. Check those 4 and let me know.

hi boba,

well, as for the spears I'll have to check....

but if the first one on the left is the first temple then jewels may be wrong cause it corresponds to Zanarkand and that is not the first temple you visit right?

TARGAT --- thanks. And, yeah, I don't see any reason not to go back to them, if you want the bonus treasures too.

Let's clear a few things up here:

You're meant to use the Destruction Sphere to obtain the hidden treasure in the cloister; you don't simply complete the trial and go to the fayth chamber, that's not the way it works.

The "first one on the left" could either mean Besaid (the first one you visit) or Zanarkand. It depends on what angle you look at it. Remember, the list I posted is when Tidus is facing forward, away from the screen.

TARGAT, if the middle statues are not lighting up for you, then you're missing the treasures from Djose and Macalania. Remember to find and use the Destruction Sphere in each temple, and get the resulting treasure.

ok Jewels...I understand....now so how do I obtain the hidden treasure in Macalania and Djose then?? I completed the cloisters and made it to the cambers then what?

You don't go into the chambers at all. That's too far in.

I suggest looking at the "Aeon FAQ" at GameFAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/game/197344.html). Search for "4.3 - Djose" and "4.4 - Macalania".

Jewels --- I'm not talking about the Destruction treasure. I'm talking about there are special bonus treasures such as stat spheres within the chambers that only become available once you get the airship. (And, of course, once you've visited the Bevelle Highroad)

I know what you meant, but I was directing my post towards TARGAT and boba. I'm talking about gaining Anima.

Yeah, all right.

hi,

Thanks agent0042, jewels, boba and all for your help, i was actually missing the treasures from Macalania and Djose.

I have anima now and the thanksfully i had the Blossom Crown and the Flower Scepter to unlock the Magus Sisters!,

THNKS again.

people.....
I FORGOT to open the one in the first temple, and when i try to go in some people block me and summon some aeon but in dark colour it kill me in one hit what can i do >.<

Sounds like you have International --- you'll need to fight it.

I know this is really late but why does that TARGAT always say hi in every sentence

What does it matter --- PM if you care. Don't harass him here. Sheesh...

Look AgentWanker why dont you fuck off and leave me alone you stupid fool and jog along to your state secret (how funny are you) dont worry if you dont know what to say im sure NKWP and Benny Boy will be here in a minute to back you up.
And go back to your books libary aid

Go Agent :)

Yeah, as said you have the version that us unlucky guys got.

Dark Valefor is an Aeon that is very ver difficult.

The Official Walkthrough I have, states that you need your stats well into their 3 figures. This, amazingly isn't an exaggeration. Dark Valefor generally does attacks well into 5-figure damage. Its Energy Blast technique, can actually do up to 99,999 damage. Thats why, if you want to thoroughly fight it, you'll need HP levels of at least 20,000 (which is obtainable by maxing out the Sphere Grid). This takes a long, A LONG time to do, seriously. Best places to Max out are Sin and Omega Ruins. You may have come across Double/Triple AP weapons for your characters.

You could probably beat Dark Valefor with Yojimbo though. Make sure you have alot fo money though -- a friend of mine however, pain him 50,000 gil and he exucted Zanmato, killing Dark Valefor off.

Note: Every boss has Zanmato resistance, 1-4. Valefors is Level 4, so you could reload your game, repeatedly. :(

Why don't you fuck off --- trolling about a thread just to harass someone about how they post and not adding anything that has anything to do with the topic?

Oh, and yes, what Rapture said is absolutely right. You're (cloud_tidus) really gonna need to train to take down Dark Valefor, unless you're able to get Zanmato. Sounds like you might need to spend some major time at the Coliseum in the Calm Lands.

Yeah, and even then - The monsters in the Arena are still very tough, if I recall correctly - you will need high statistics to fight them too.

Every monster has broken the damage limit and the HP Limit, in some cases, they have Billions!
Take Cactuar King, for instance - It has an attack called 99,999 needles!

Just do what you can, if you're that bothered about Anima anyway. You don't need him to complete the game y'know but for completion methods and all!
