| You're gonna want Negator gone ASAP, trust me! Have Wakka attack it, and if you have any Lighting or Electro Marbles, use 'em. Nail Attack Crawler with Lightning attacks (Thundara, Ixion, and Lightning/Electro marbles). After 4 Magic attacks he will spit out another Negator, and won't use Mana Beam, which is good because Mana Beam does around 1200 damage. Keep your HP above 750! | ||||
Walk into the temple and go down the curving path. Go to the right room, after someone has an outburst of Jyscal, and then enter the Cloister of Trails.

| This battle will be long and hard. This was the first one I died on, on my first time through. No worries though, I didn't have a guide. ;) Anyway, you want to steal, yes steal from each guardian, then slaughter them with -ra magic (the reason for stealing is that it disables the Auto-Potion function). As for Seymour, attack him, since he has Shell. At about 1/2 HP he will summon Anima, yes that beast that you saw at Luca. First summon your new Aeon. Second, attack with her 2x, have her cast Blizzara on herself, and continue that cycle (unless you need to really heal a second time). Anima's attack pattern is Boost then Pain. When ???? gains overdrive, use it when Anima Boosts, so it deals more damage, and continue your cycle, 'til she's called back. Back to Seymour. His magic pattern is Ice, Lightning, Water, and Fire spells in that order so cast Nul-Element Type with Yuna, and have Lulu use magic, while your strongest attacker attacks. Make sure to use Phoenix Downs ASAP! | ||||
Good job! I hope you beat it on your first try, so that you are better than me on mine ^.^ But then again you killed a Maester - better get outta there ya? Yikes! The floor is gone. I knew I was missing something when I came in…
Cloister of Trials - Macalania (Shiva)
Once you control Tidus, go through the 'door' to your left. You're now in room 1. There're three pillars in middle of the room, a shining glyph in lower left corner, and small pillar in lower middle of the room. First push the small pillarto the right to destroy a few stalagmites. Then push it up to destroy few more stalagmites. Doing this frees a path to room 2. First remove the Glyph Sphere from middle pillar and go down. Insert the Glyph Sphere in leftmost recess found on northern wall. Doing this will lift a stone with another one of the Macalania Spheres. Go up in room 1 and pick up the Macalania Sphere that just showed up. Go back down in room 2 and insert it in recess found in first-from-left pillar to create the first third of ice path. Go up and pick up the Macalania Sphere inserted in eastern slot. Go down, insert Macalania Sphere in only hole on small pillar, and then push this pillar to the right. A second third of path is created. Take the Macalania Sphere found upstairs and insert it where the Glyph Sphere used to be. Path created - mission accomplished!
Almost! We forgot the Destruction Sphere. Okay. Go up the slope and step on shining glyph that just appeared. Push small pillar found to your left. Then go down the slope and step on shining glyph here. Remove the Macalania Sphere from middle pillar and put it in recess found on northern wall. Now remove Destruction Sphere from small pillar and go down in room 2. Insert the Destruction Sphere in second recess found on northern wall. Pick up the Luck Sphere. Then take the Destruction Sphere again, go back into room 1 and put it back on small pillar. Also remove the Macalania Sphere from northern slot and put it in eastern slot. Go where second shining glyph is and step on it. Again push small pillar. Go down the slope in room 1 and step on shining glyph. Push the small pillar to the right. Remove the Macalania Sphere from eastern slot and put it in northern slot. Push the small pillar up. Then go down in Room 2 and push it to the right. Back up in room 1 remove the Macalania Sphere from northernmost slot and put it in slot found in middle pillar. Go all the way up - *don't step* on shining glyph - and then proceed north to exit this Cloister.
When you get out, run as fast as possible, unless you want to gain some Sphere Levels. Use the steal-kill technique on the guardians, and move back along the path (Red Arrow anyone?)

| First of all, steal-slaughter the Guado Guardains, and curing Wendigo from Berserk is a priority. Cast Esuna on him. After them two guards are gone, attack and use magic as soon as possible. Use Phoenix Downs *A*S*A*P* as well! If any of your Aeons have Overdrive feel free to use it! | ||||
Earthquake!
Go run and talk to Rikku, then you want to go over to Yuna, and then up to Auron, and then back to Yuna.
