-WALKTHROUGH-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.::STORY LEVEL 1::.

Mission 1
---------

After the first CG scene, there will be a battle between Paine and Rikku
against Yuna. Defeat her and she'll run away from the stage. Now, you'll be
in control of Rikku. Chase after Yuna. You'll notice that Paine will be chasing
her as well. Few soldiers will be in your path. Take them down. An easy job
if you're a FF player. Remember to take a left turn at a junction to the
harbour to meet with a moogle. It'll heal your HP. After a few rounds of
battle, another scene will take place. The REAL Yuna will be introduced. A
plump guy (Uno) and a tall guy (Sano) will battle with you. Defeat them with
ease. Now who's the FAKE Yuna? The FAKE Yuna is actually a sphere hunter's
group leader known as Le Blanc. She reveals herself and another battle will
occur. Defeat her and you have completed your first mission.



Mission 2
---------
By this time, you are back on board of Celcius. Talk to everyone on your plane.
Do not FORGET about the guy at the resting area in your airship. Take the lift
to the resting section and talk to him. After talking, emergency lights will
go on. Head back to the cockpit. Click on the mission link and off you go for
your second mission. you'll be dropped off from Celcius on top of a big shiny
ruin. A scene will occur. After that, just follow the trail and go down the
stairs. See the shiny blue switch on the wall? Activate it and you'll fall to
the lower ground. Make your way down the cliff and climb up again on the cliff
situated at the right corner of the screen. Proceed to the open area. What a
surprise? The Le Blanc group is here again. After the talking scene with them,
Boss fight!

-|Bosses ~ Le Blanc, Uno & Sano|- Level 3
Le Blanc's HP: 120
MP: 320
Uno's HP: 130
MP: 10
Sano's HP: 100
MP: 25
This is an easy battle. Just finish off Uno, followed by Sano and lastly, Le
Blanc. Remember to cast blind unto them using the Singer/Dancer dress if you
want to avoid their physical attacks. Keep attacking and healing at the same
time. They can't do much harm to you.

After the battle, a time limit of 6:00 mins have been set for you to get them.
Now, head straight to grab a treasure chest, then turn back, do not ascend the
pillar as there is nothing up there. Notice that there's a platform to get over
to the other tower. By pressing the action button, jump over to the other side.
Head to the entrance. Sano will appear with a group of soldiers. Defeat them.
Now go into the tower. Look at the map, there'll be a left and right junction.
Activate both the switches. This will lower the platform for you to climb on.
Go back to the straight route and run after them. You should be in the open
area now after exiting the tower. Go around the tower. Go on top of the fallen
pillar and jump across to the other section. Climb up the tower and you'll
notice a save point. If you reach the Le Blancs on time, you'll see them
clinging on to a cliff. Grab the item in the treasure chest and head up.
Another scene will occur. Boss fight!

-|Boss ~ Bory Spider|- Level 4
HP: 804 (Oversoul)
MP: 0
Depending whether the spider is oversouled or not. If not, it's quite easy to
beat. Just keep on healing with potions and maintain a good timing of attack.
If it's oversouled, it'll release static web that causes your party to stop
moving. Don't worry, it'll wear off in time. Just follow the strategy above to
beat him with ease.

Once you're back on the ship, you'll see Aniki lying down on the floor. After
the scene, talk to Shinra and he will give you the Black Mage Dress Sphere.
Immediately after that, Celcius alarm signal goes off! Time for some missions!



Side Missions
-------------
<Getting Paine's Special Dress>
Go to Macalania Forest and head to the place where you first obtained your
first Jecht Sphere in FFX. It's the place where Auron cut through the forest.
Upon reaching there, talk to Tromell Guado in the middle of the lake for 3
times. You'll then get the Paine's special dress sphere. You can get this
Special Dress by completing the "Where's My Musician" in Macalania forest too
if you have missed it here.

<Obtaining Akagi Sphere no.9>
Now, head to the Mushroom Rock Road. There's a group of soldiers standing
together. Talk to the leader and a mission will start. Talk to Clasko who is
standing behind them. Then head on to the next scene. You'll see Sano and Ano
running towards something. Follow them and you'll get a sphere. Now return to
the main path and take the elevator up. You'll have a conversation with Irma.
Mission completed.

<A Long Chat With Maechen>
After the conversation with Irma, head to Nooj's base camp and talk to Ruchiru
at the entrance to the base. As you are leaving the base, Maechen will appear.
Let him walk towards a corner, next to Ruchiru and he will sit there. Talk to
him by choosing the second option. From there onwards, he will talk for a very
long time, regarding Spira. This event contributes 1% to your story completion.

*Note* [This event is only available when you play the game a 2nd time]

<Getting Magic Gunner Dress Sphere>
Also known as Dark Gunner dress. Go to Moonflow. Head to the right side of the
save point and you'll see a short red guy, Toberi, walking around. Talk to him
and he will ask for your help to escort a peddlar back to him. After talking
to him, head down south of Moonflow. The peddlar will be on the right side of
the road. Talk to the peddlar and agree that you'll accompany him along his
journey. Mission starts. Defend the peddlar's luggage from bandits. Make sure
there are luggages left when you reach the end of the road. As a reward, you'll
receive the sphere. Mission completed.

*Note* If possible, do not lose any of your luggages during the mission as this
is important in getting an Episode Complete in Moonflow later.

*Note* If you want to do this mission in Story Level 1, you won't be able do
get an accessory dealing 9999 damage when your HP is yellow during Story Level
2. It's your choice. You can get this dress later in the game by helping a guy
to sell tickets. On the other hand, getting this accessory will not give you
an Episode Complete in Moonflow as well as getting the Mascot Dress Sphere.
It's your choice too. ^^

<O'Aka On The Run>
Head to Macalania forest. Take the shiny route to the end of the forest. Exit
the forest and you'll see some Al-Bheds attacking a house which belongs to
O'Aka. You'll then see O'Aka running away from them. Mission starts. Chase
O'Aka. Take the shortest route back to the front of Macalania forest. Follow
him to the next scene. In the next section, there's 4 routes, take the north
one. You'll see a person standing there. but where's O'Aka? He's hiding on top
of a tree on the left screen. Move Yuna to the left side and you'll see him
there. Choose the first option. O'Aka will now be on your airship. Mission
completed.

<Moogle Yuna in Luca>
A scene will occur and you start with Yuna in a moogle suit. Now go down the
stairs. A man in uniform approaches you. A conversation takes place. After
that, you got to look for the man who spoke to you. He's right beside a stall
where there's a woman standing near it. It's quite hard to spot him because
he is squatting down. Talk to him and you'll be asked to pass out balloons to
10 people. 8 people are in the square and 2 are in a hidden room below the
big blue monitor screen up north. Do this and the story will go on. Mission
completed. You'll get a Result Plate for completing the mission.

<Treasure Hunt>
First, head on back to Djose Temple. Line up in the queue to enter the tent
just outside the temple. Talk to the guy at the counter and choose the first
and second option. You'll be allowed to enter the temple after that. You'll
now meet another new character. His name is Gabriel. Talk to him. After that,
go outside the temple and head on south. Gabriel will be there talking to
another guy. Talk to him again and choose the first option. He'll give you
a pass. As a result, another active link will appear on the map. After the
conversation, you'll be back on Celcius. Go to Sanubia Desert. There'll be a
guy talking to Paine and Rikku at the right side. Approach them. After the
conversation, talk to the guy in front of the machina vehicle and choose the
first option. Then talk to two other guys who are chatting with each other
beside a machina vehicle. A lady will then appear. Talk to her. Mission starts.
Talk to the guy in front of the machina vehicle and choose the first option.
You'll be brought into the desert. All you got to do now is to find the yellow
cross on the map and dig the treasure out. After getting it, return to the
vehicle and back to the base. Mission completed. You'll be rewarded with a
Result Plate.

*Note* There will be a treasure chest here which you will not be able to open
it until Story Level 5. Therefore, in SL 5, go and meet Clasko at Nagi Plains
and send your chocobos to the desert island. Then go dig at the Central Desert
until you find the Desert Key. The chest contains a Result Plate that allows
you steal money while attacking the enemies.

<PR Mission>
This mission takes a long time to complete. Firstly, head on to Calm Lands and
talk to anyone of the 2 people beside the machina vehicle. Choose the option
with the word "PR", choose the first option and you'll then activate the
mission. The sole purpose of this mission is travel around Spira and ask the
opinions of the people. By pressing the square button when you talk to a
person, it'll open up a menu. Choose the 1st option. It will then open another
menu with 5 options. You've got to guess which question suites the people
most. The correct answer will be given more PR points. Not all people have
this PR option. Collect a total of 400 PR points. Mission completed.

<Who's My Bride?>
After initiating the PR mission, head to the travel agency in the middle of
Calm Lands. Talk to the guy near the save point, at the right counter. Choose
the first option to accept the offer to help him to look for a bride for the
man who's seen squatting down behind him. This side mission is resembles the
PR mission stated above. You have to go around Spira and ask the people's
opinions, especially the ladies, whether they are interested in that particular
man. By using the square button, another option will appear. Note that the
first option is for the PR mission, the 2nd option is for the marriage mission.
To pass this mission, you have to at least gather over 80 points.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.::STORY LEVEL 2::.

After the talking scene, go and talk to Shinra. Choose the first option. This
will be followed by a CG scene. After that, talk to Aniki (Brother). Now head
to the resting area.

<Getting Kyuso Neko Kami accessory>
This is an accessory which allows you do to a 9999 damage when your HP is
yellow. Take note that this accessory is only available if you have skipped
the <Getting Magic Gunner Dress> side mission in Story Level 1. If you've done
the mission I've mentioned, then follow the instructions stated below numbered
as 1. If you did not do the mission, follow 2.

1. You'll notice that there will be a group of musicians. Speak to the one
who's playing the drum and choose the first option. The blue guy from the
resting area will appear. What are you suppose to do now? Start pushing the
musicians into the lift. Push them according to their size, from the
smallest to the largest.

musicians. Speak to the one who's playing the drum and choose the first

there.

<Decisions To Be Made>
The first option makes you join Seinen Doumei (Nooj's Side) and the second
option lets you join Shin Ebou-tou (Baralai's side). Choosing Shin Ebou-tou
results in having Story Level 3 starts with an active link in Bevelle rather
than Mushroom Rock Road and vice versa. If you have chosen to be on Baralai's
side, you should choose Nooj's side during your New Game+. These 2 sides do
contribute % to your story level completion. The storyline may differ a little
depending on which side you've chosen. Therefore you have to play both sides to
get all the events.

Before carrying out this mission, let's go for the side missions first.



Side Missions
-------------
<Meeting Rion>

got to guess which direction it'll be running by moving the cursor keys. Guess
3 to 4 times correctly and you're on to the next phase. In the third section,

be facing left. Get it? After clearing the 5 monsters, defeat the last monster
that attacked Clasko and he will award you with the Item Shooter Dress.
Mission completed. And addition to it, the arena will be converted into a

MP: 450
Irma will cast auto-haste unto herself and Slow unto your party members. Use
a white mage to clear off the status if you have the Dispel ability. Take out
the 2 soldiers that fighting alongside with Irma first. Followed by her. Use
potions when necessary and you will have no problem in defeating her.

Mission completed.

*Note* [This mission is only available if you chose to go to Bevelle and not
Kinoko Canyon when you were asked to decide between this two.]

<Where's My Lover?>
Head to Zanarkand Ruins. Go straight into the ruins until you see Isaru
standing right at the entrace before the Chamber Of Fayth. Talk to him and
you'll initiate a mini-game. You are required to pair up those cute little
creatures, found mostly in all sections of the ruins. You've got to look for
one creature with a love symbol and pair it up with it's partner. Here are the

Sect. 2 - Section before the elevator.
Sect. 3 - Elevator section.
Sect. 4 - The place you had conversation with Cid.
Sect. 5 - Area with a lot of treasure chests.
Sect. 6 - The place you fought Yunalesca in FFX.

you first obtained your first Akagi Sphere (no.9). You'll see Nooj there in
front of the secret dungeon. He'll give you an Agaki sphere after you've talk
to him.


Now we are ready to continue on with the mission that we had left aside at the
beginning!



Mission 6 (Active Link - Guadosalam)
------------------------------------
Head to the Guadosalam Mansion and talk to two of the guards there. You'll
notice that they won't let you in. In order to get it, you have to get three
uniforms as disguise. You have to complete 3 side missions in order to get
them all.



Side Missions
-------------
<**0000 GIL Richer>
Head to the underground room in Guadosalam located near the save point. Talk
to the guy at the counter and choose the second option. You are required to
look for another guy described by him. By paying him 10000 GIL, he'll let you
have the job. The guy he mentioned is doing an undercover. You have to look for
him and he will reward you with *0000 GIL. Therefore, you'll be *0000 GIL
richer within a few minutes. All you have to do is to approach a a guy who you
think is the undercover. You'll have 3 chances, each chance you used will
deduct 10000 GIL from your maximum amount of reward. by pressing the square
button, find that guy. In every new game (I don't mean the minigame, I mean
starting FFX-2 all over again), the undercover guy will change. Therefore,
it's advisable that you save first before you go and look for him or her. If
you lose, you'll lose 100000 GIL. Locate the right person and get your reward.

*Note* I've put it as **0000 GIL because the reward changes each time you start
a new game.

<A Hot Bath In Mount Gagazet>
Go to Mount Gagazet and talk to Kimahri. Choose the first option. Then talk to
Kimahri again. Choose the first option again. After the conversation, go to the
teleporter behind Kimahri, choose the first option and you'll be transported
to the top of the mountain. Go up the hill and head on straight. A scene will
occur when you reach the cliffs. You'll see that there'll be a female soldier
climbing the mountains. There are 2 choices that you can make here.

1st Choice - Follow her. Climb up the cliff and enter the cave at the top.
Exit the cave and you'll see another scene of that female soldier
running pass the save point. Follow her again. Another scene will
occur showing two ladies bathing in the hot spring. Uno (plump
guy) will appear. Boss fight! Defeat him as well as the two other
soldiers to get your uniform. Mission completed.

2nd Choice - Follow her. Climb up the cliff and enter the cave at the top.
Exit the cave and you'll see another scene of that female soldier
running pass the save point. Do not follow her. Instead, keep on
climbing up the cliff to the top right side of the mountain.
Enter the gaps between the mountain. There will be a scene
between Uno and 2 female soldiers. Yuna and the gang will
suddenly fall into the hotspring causing Uno and the soldiers to
run away. You'll get the uniform left by them. Enjoy the rest of
the scene. Rikku seems to be comparing her breasts' size with
Yuna's and Paine's. You'll get what I mean when you watch it. It's
a very funny scene. ^^ After the scene, descend the mountain. On
the way down, you'll be ambushed by 2 female soldiers. After
defeating them, Boss fight! Mission completed.

-|Boss ~ Uno|- Level 16
HP: 1350
MP: 22
Basically it is quite simple to defeat Uno. Just attack him with normal attacks
and heal with potions when neccessary. You'll do just fine. If you want to
avoid his attacks, just cast blind on him by using the Singer/Dancer job.

<Obtaining Yuna's Special Dress>
Go to Djose Temple. Exit the temple and travel down south to Mushroom Rock
Road. You'll see a talking scene between two female soldiers. After that,
follow them. As you walk along Mushroom Rock Road, you'll notice a shiny
sphere lying on the ground below the arch. That's Yuna's Special Dress.
After getting it, Uno will appear again, together with Sano (tall guy). Boss
fight! As usual, defeat them and you'll get the 2nd uniform. Mission completed.

-|Bosses ~ Uno & Sano|- Level 17
Uno's HP: 1150
MP: 22
Sano's HP: 1030
MP: 48
Try and bring down Uno first. His attacks are more damaging than Sano's. As
usual, cast the blind spell unto them. All their normal attacks will be useless
against you. Keep your HP levels high by using potions. Finish Sano at the end.

<Obtaining Rikku's Special Dress>
First, head on back to Djose Temple. Line up in the queue to enter the tent
just outside the temple. Talk to the guy at the counter and choose the first
and second option. You'll be allowed to enter the temple after that. You'll
now meet another new character. His name is Gabriel. Talk to him. After that,
go outside the temple and head on south. Gabriel will be there talking to
another guy. Talk to him again and choose the first option. He'll give you
a pass. As a result, another active link will appear on the map.

*Note* If you have done the <Treasure Hunt> side mission in Story Level 1, you
can skip the steps above.

After the conversation, you'll be back on Celcius. Go to Sanubia Desert. Talk
to the lady near the machina vehicle and choose the 2nd option. Then talk to
the guy beside the lady. Talk again to the guy to initiate an option. Choose
the first option. You'll be brought to an oasis where you'll get Rikku's Dress
Sphere. Bad thing is, Sano will appear. Or is it a good thing? Defeat him and
you'll get your last uniform. Mission completed.

-|Boss ~ Sano|- Level 17
HP: 1220
MP: 46
Take out the 2 female soldiers first. They can be a nuisance at times. Sano is
a bit weak in his offense. So take him out with ease. Just remember to
constantly heal your characters. He won't be able to do much harm unto you.

"Mission 6" Mission completed as well.
You'll be back in the airship and you'll notice that 3 of them will be dressed
in the soldier's uniform. What's next? Head to Guadosalam!



Mission 7 (Active Link - Guadosalam)
------------------------------------
Approach the guards at the door and a scene will occur. Choose the first option
and the girls will change into the uniforms you've got earlier. Mission starts.
Enter the mansion and you'll see another scene between Le Blanc and Nooj. After
that, Le Blanc will walk away. Don't follow her yet. Enter the room below the
stairs. You'll see Uno and Sano having a conversation. Now head back to the
living hall and up the stairs, into the room Le Blanc has entered. Approach her
and a mini game will start. And you're suppose to massage her?! Oh please... ^^
Now, here's how it works. There are 9 boxes given and you're suppose to guess
which area she wants you to massage on. Find the yellow love and keep pressing
it to gain more points! If you've found the red love, it'll reset the 9 boxes
and you've got to start from scratch again. Exceed the points given and a scene
will occur. Talking about a switch in the room where Uno and Sano had their
conversation. Go there now. Search the left side of the huge blue wall and
you'll open up a underground passage. Another scene will occur. Back in casual
outfits, head to where the red arrow points you to. But before that, Boss
fight!

-|Boss ~ Uno|- Level 19
HP: 1640
MP: 40
Use the normal strategy that has been stated for the earlier battles against
him. Take out the two guards first.

Defeat Uno and you'll be free to roam around. Enter the room near the save
point to get an accessory. Follow the red arrow.

<Obtaining Akagi Sphere no.10>
Enter the room and you'll see an Akagi Sphere no.10 on the table. Get it and
a scene starts. Boss fight!

-|Bosses ~ Uno & Sano|- Level 20
Uno's HP: 1344
MP: 45
Sano's HP: 989
MP: 70
This time, you may want to take out Sano first due to the low amount of HP he
has. Strategy used is same as above.

After that, head down a slope to a section which you've got to
climb walls. There are switches in between the walls. Activate all of them.
A booby trap has been set! Run for your lives! Just kidding, all you got to do
is go to the other end of the room and wait for it to come to you. A scene
will occur and you'll be brought into another room. Activate the switch and
another one at the far end. It'll open another path. Just follow the red arrow
from now. Boss fight! Mission completed.

-|Bosses ~ Le Blanc, Uno & Sano|- Level 21
Le Blanc's HP: 1380
MP: 460
Uno's HP: 1344
MP: 45
Sano's HP: 989
MP: 70
Special Dresses may prove useful here. You can use them if you like. Cast Blind
to avoid their physical attacks. Armor and Power Break can be used on Sano and
Uno but not Le Blanc because she is immune to it. Take out one of them as fast
as possible to stop them from using their Trio Attack, preferably Sano.



Mission 8 (Active Link - Bevelle)
---------------------------------
After the conversation, head on to Bevelle. Mission starts. Enter Bevelle
Temple. Head to the right pathway and activate the switch on the block. Now go
back to the main entrance and enter the left pathway. Activate the bottom
hologram, lowering down the lift. Back to the main hall and head straight.
Take the lift to the bottom level of Bevelle Temple. This place looks familiar
to you? Proceed right to get 2 treasure chests containing 3 remedies each.
After getting them, go down the pathway to the left side. Head down the slope
and get 3000 GIL. Now head up the other slope. Take the left route to get 6
High Medicines. Turn around and follow the red arrow. Take the lift to the
second level and turn right. Head on to the Chamber of Fayth. After that,
you'll be in another section. Go to the corridor to have a view over the area.
A scene will occur. Head to upper section of the screen and Yuna will slide
down a large chain. You'll see that there's a lot of towers around you. Go to
the first tower on your right and activate it. This will then release a
platform which is used later in the game. After activating the 1st tower,
skip the 2nd tower and activate the 3rd one. Followed by the 5th one. After the
3 towers have been activated, Boss fight!

-|Boss ~ Spectral Keeper|- Level 22
HP: 3680
MP: 9999
Use Power Break, Mental Break and Armor Break on him. This will surely decrease
both his offense and defenses. Once in a while, he will cast Slowga unto your
party members. Use Dispel to clear off the status. Make use of the jobs that
has high attack points to finish him off quickly.

-|Boss ~ Geosgaeno|- Level 23 (Optional)
HP: 4420
MP: 9999
All Break abilities work well here. He's much weaker that Spectral Keeper but
he can still deal some powerful damage to your party members. Equip with
accessories that boost your magic defenses because he usually casts magic
spells. Blind is useful here too.
*Note* This boss will only appear if you have activated the other 3 towers.

<Getting The Ribbon Accessory 1>
You'll notice that after the boss fight, you still have 3 unactivated towers.
What do they do? They control three other platforms leading to another room
which you'll gain access to a treasure chest containing a Ribbon. An accessory
which protects you from all status ailments. My best advice to you is that
you line up the platforms in a spiral pattern which will lead you that room.

Now, proceed down the platforms you've activated and enter the room. Head on
straight until you reach a T-junction. Go right to get a treasure chest
containing a "Regenerate" Result Plate. Head back to the T-junction and to the
left section. Climb onto the left block to activate the switch, and then the
right one. Proceed to the next area. In this section, you'll see a huge
contraption in the middle. You can control it by activating the switch at the
left bottom screen shaped like a star. Manipulate it to get two useful
accessories from there. Climb onto it once you've lowered the platform using
the switch. Head on to the next section.

<Getting Dark Knight Dress>
In front of you, you'll see 3 lifts. Take the left lift up. Then travel down
south and jump down back to where you originally were. Now take the middle
lift and to a place to activate a switch. Take the lift back and take the right
lift up now. Then take the left lift from the upper section back down to the
original area. Take the middle lift again, you'll be brought to another area
to activate another switch. Back to the main area, take the right lift up to
the upper level. Now activate the 2 blocks on the 2nd level to release a lift
at the far end corner. Take the lift down. You'll notice now that there's a
pathway leading to a treasure chest. It contains the Dark Knight Dress. Phew!
After all that hard work. ^^

Back to the main mission, after saving, head on straight and you'll meet
Baralai. Boss fight! He's one tough guy! Steal the "Encounter None" accessory
from him. After defeating him, you might want to save your game again first
because in the next section, Boss fight again! Mission completed.

-|Boss ~ Baralai|- Level 25
HP: 3380
MP: 540
For a guy like him, he's pretty powerful. Be careful of his attacks as they can
deal heavy damages unto your characters. Make sure your HP levels are always
high as he can wipe off your entire party with one swing. He has no elemental
weaknesses, therefore don't use Black Mage here. You may want to cast Blind on
him if you think his physical attacks are too strong. Constant healing is the
key to success.

Head on to the next section after you've beaten Baralai. Another Boss fight!

-|Boss ~ Dark Bahamut|- Level 26
HP: 8400
MP: 9999
Break abilites works well on him. Try to defeat it before it launches its
Overdrive which can damage your characters pretty bad. Casting Shell and
Protect unto your party members is a good way to decrease his physical and
magical attacks. It's good to have an Item Shooter in your group as she can
mix items. Mixing a L-Grenade with another L-Grenade can cause some heavy
damage unto him. Remember to keep healing all the way.

.::END OF STORY LEVEL 2::.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.::STORY LEVEL 3::.

Now you'll be back on board of Celcius. After the SOS briefing by Aniki, you
have to complete this Active Link first before starting the side missions.



Mission [Optional] (Mushroom Rock Road - Active Link)
-----------------------------------------------------
This mission appears as soon as you enter the world map screen. I state it as
an optional mission because the Active Link disappears if you've selected
other missions first. In order to avoid that from happening, head on to
Mushroom Rock Road and approach the group of soldiers. A conversation between
Gatta and Yuna will occur. Ruchiru will come in later to join the conversation.
After the talk, head to Djose Temple and you'll see Gabriel at the entrace.
Talk to him to complete the event.

After completing the event above, we can now concentrate on the side missions.

Side Missions
-------------
<Machina Gone Insane>
It seems like the machinas found in Mihen Road have gone haywire. Your mission
is to destroy them before they hurt any citizens around the area. As soon as
you reach Mihen Road, you'll be given an option to choose whether you want to
help out or not. Choose the first option. Mission starts. Now how do you look
for them? Look at the map and search for green boxes. The green boxes show
where the machinas are. Wipe them out as soon as possible. As you can see that
there's a counter below the bottom right of your screen, make sure the number
of machinas you've destroyed is higher than the number of machinas destroyed
by the another Al Bhed group who's also involved in destroying them. As a
reward, you'll be given 10000 GIL and a Result Plate. Mission completed.

<Meeting With Maechen>
Head to Guadosalam and enter the mansion. Approach Uno and Sano, a conversation
will start. After that, go to Le Blanc's room on the upper floor and have a
chat with her. Then go back to where Uno and Sano are, talk to them again.
You'll notice now that the underground passage door is open. Head on to Sano's
room where you've obtained Agaki Sphere no.10 in the beginning. Sano will
appear and he'll give you two new spheres containing info about the mysterious
behaviour of Nooj. After getting the 2 spheres, search the room for another
sphere at one corner. Another scene will occur and Maechen appears. Approach
him and choose the first option. He will then explain what had happened 1000
years ago between Zanarkand and Bevelle together will all those strange
happenings. After the conversation, head back to the ship.

<What's With Paine?>
Head to Moonflow. Exit the save point area and meet with the short red guy.
You'll see that there's a band performing there. Talk to the red guy twice.
Paine that insists that you leave the area. This event contributes % to your
story completion.

<Getting Berserker Dress Sphere>
Proceed to Macalania forest. You'll end up near the shop in the snowy area,
surrounded by monsters. Seems like the area is being attacked by the beast.
Your mission, as usual, dispose them. Mission starts. Choose the first option
to begin. You'll engage in a few battles with the beasts, some of them are
quite powerful, if you can't take it, make sure you choose the 2nd option to
back out and reheal your characters before continuing. Finish them up and
you'll be awarded with a resuit plate. Then enter the shop, there's a man
lying on the ground half dead, he'll give you the Berserker Dress Sphere and
another sphere. O'Aka will be seen running in the shop if you've cleared his
debts earlier in the game. Exit the shop. O'Aka will run to you and have a
conversation with you. Mission completed.

<Save My People>
Go to Nagi Plains now. Or also known as Calm Lands. Approach the group of
people at the entrance to the Cave of The Stolen Fayth. An old lady will
appear before and ask for your help to save the people trapped in the cave.
Choose the first option and mission starts. Basically there are 15 people to
save in the cave. You can only escort 5 of them out at one time. The first
12 people are easy to locate. The 13th guy is hiding a corner that cannot be
seen with your eyes. Just simply press the O button around the corners and
you'll see him hiding there. The last two guys are hard to find, you've
got to activate the teleporter to take you to the two unaccessible area.
There's one guy on the left and the other on the right. To activate the portal
to go right and left, talk to a man outside the cave after saving the first 13
people. He will then give you an item to activate the portal which then allows
you to save the 14th and 15th guy. After saving them all, proceed to the
Chamber of Fayth and Boss fight! Mission completed.

-|Boss ~ Dark Yojimbo|- Level 28
HP: 22000
MP: 9999
First of all, equip all your party members with Anti-Poison accessories.
Secondly, make sure you have a good supply a Mega Potions which heal all
characters 2000 HP. When Yojimbo does his Zanmato attack that reduces your
party members' HP to 1, quickly use a Mega Potion to heal them as fast as
possible before his dog comes and knock you out. No abilites work on him,
therefore just concentrate on physical attack. Maintain the steps above and
you'll manage through.

<A Ronzo's Trial> / <Getting Animal Trainer Dress Sphere>
Go to Mount Gagazet and talk to Kimahri. After receiving the Animal Trainer
dress from him. Accept his challenge and climb up Mount Gagazet without using
the teleporter. As you enter the mountains, you'll see a trail of Ronzo's
going up the mountain. Just follow them until you reach the cliffs. Do not
climb the cliffs. Take the left pathway and head on straight. Enter the dungeon
and up the stairs until you reach a T-junction. Take the left route. Go
straight and ascend the elevated pavements. You'll meet Gariku on the way up.
Boss fight! Mission completed.

-|Boss ~ Gariku|- Level 27
HP: 6880
MP: 238
He's not guarded against Blind, Silence and Poison. Cast them on him if you
have the spells. Some may find it difficult beating him when he casts Mighty
Guard unto himself which gives him the Protect, Shell and Haste ability. The
easiest way to deal with this problem is to cast Dispel on him. As easy as
that. He will be very weak when he doesn't have all the status mentioned above.
Remember to clear off both his sidekicks first.

*Note* You've got to talk to Kimahri in Story Level 1 & 2 in order to get the
dress sphere at Story Level 3.

<The Coin Competition> / <Getting Gambler Dress Sphere>
Next, head to Luca Harbour. A scene will occur. After Rin (the guy in yellow)
finished talking to you, head up the stairs to the save point. Talk to girl
near the save point and activate the coin game. After beating her, head back
down to the area where Rin is standing. There'll be 2 kids jumping around that
area. Approach on of them and defeat them in the coin game. After that, another
guy will walk pass Rin, talk to him to initiate the coin game. And again,
defeat him and an event will occur. Remember to save each time you win a
game! You'll challenge Shinra at the end. If you lose to him, don't worry,
later in the game he can be found hanging around the blitzball locker rooms
area in Story Level 5. Challenge him again to win Gambler Dress Sphere.

*Note* You should defeat Shinra in Story Level 3 rather than Story Level 5
because his difficulty level is much higher in Story Level 5. Therefore, I
advise you to keep loading your game if you've lost to him until you win him.

<Quick Reaction>
This is a minigame found in Thunder Plains. Talk to the guy bending down near
a tower twice. Choose the first option to initiate the game event. Go to each
tower labled as green boxes on the map. By going to each one you'll activate
a game. Even if you don't know Japanese, it's easy to know what the game
instructions are. There are ten towers all together. After completing the 9th
tower, head to a lake in the North Area of Thunder Plains to the 10th tower,
which is not shown on the map. You won't be able to reach that tower, just
press the action button on the lake and the game will automatically start. The
tower is located across the lake. After beating all 10 towers, head to the
shop in Thunder Plains located between North and South area of Thunder Plains.
Speak to the guy near the counter and he will reward you with a Result Plate.

<Conversation With Isaru>
Head to Zanarkand and back to the area before entering the Chamber of Fayth.
Isaru will be seen standing in the middle of the path. Talk to him. This is an
important event in order to get an Episode Complete in Story Level 5 later.



Mission 9 (Besaid Island - Active Link)
---------------------------------------
As you enter the village, go to the 2nd hut on your right and talk to Lulu.
Exit the hut. Conversation with Shinra. After that, you'll see a scene
between Wakka and a guy in blue. His name is Bechrem. Right after the scene,
enter Besaid Temple and talk to Bechrem. Mission starts. Enter the Chamber of
Fayth. Proceed ahead until you see Wakka lying down on the floor due to
exhaustion. Probably he's getting old already. ^^' Talk to him and take the
elevator down. Boss fight! A scene will then occur. Mission completed.

-|Boss ~ Dark Valefor|- Level 26
HP: 8430
MP: 9999
Use Power Break on him to reduce his physical attacks. He has two Overdrives.
One is much more damaging than the other. Therefore it is advisable to use
Dark Knights here so counter it's physical attacks. Dark Knights usually have
a higher defensive point than the rest of the jobs. Keep healing your party
members to avoid being wipe off by him in a single strike.



Mission 10 (Kilika Island - Active Link)
----------------------------------------
Head to Dona's house to talk to her. This will then activate an event which
requires to you pass the guards in order to reach Kilika Temple. When Dona
tries to distract the guard, you look for the right time to rush through the
gates before getting spotted. Use the R1 button to change views and O button
to rush through. It's a bit hard. If you can't get through, just press the X
button to quit and choose the 1st option. You'll eventually pass the gate. Now
you are in Kilika Forest. Each route has been blocked by the guards. Approach
all 3 gates to initiate an event. Automatically Paine will lead you to jump
onto a tree to get to the other side. Head straight to Kilika Temple. Mission
starts. Proceed to the Chamber of Fayth. You'll meet Barthello on the way in.
In the temple, there'll be blue flames blocking your pathway. Approach them
to activate battles with monsters known as Varunas.

<Getting Samurai Dress Sphere>
After a battle with 2 Varunas, while you are on your way to the Chamber of
Fayth, you'll see a shiny sphere lying on the ground. Pick it up and you've
gained another dress to your collection.

Enter Chamber of Fayth. Boss fight! Mission completed.

-|Boss ~ Dark Ifirt|- Level 28
HP: 8820
MP: 9999
Before you enter battle, equip your party members with Fire Nullify Ring. This
will not only help you in avoiding his Fire attacks but heal your party
members too whenever he uses Fire magic. Break abilities work well on him too.
Have plenty of Mega Potions to heal your characters whenever he uses his
Overdrive against you. Keep steady throughout the battle and you'll do fine.



Side Missions
-------------
<Obtaining Akagi Sphere no.1>
Once you've completed Besaid and Kilika Island Active Links, fly to Bevelle.
You'll see an event once you've arrived. Head to the area where you've fought
Dark Bahamut in Story Level 2. On your way to the Chamber of Fayth, you'll see
Gabriel walking past the save point. Head on straight to Bahamut's resting
area. You will see another scene between Nooj, Gabriel and Baralai talking
about the existence of Vegnagun. After Baralai is possessed by Shuin's spirit,
he summons a Malboro to attack your group. Boss fight!

-|Boss ~ Malboro|- Level 28
HP: 5877
MP: 110
There should be no problem in defeating it. As it is not protected against
Blind and Break ablities, you can decide whether on using them or not. Just
keep hitting him with normal physical attacks and he'll be gone.

After the battle, you'll find that the Akagi Sphere is lying on the ground.
pick it up and your job is done here.
*Note* Get this sphere before heading on to Djose Temple. You won't be able to
get it later in the game.


Mission 11 (Djose Temple - Active Link)
---------------------------------------
Head on to Djose Temple. Another Aeon attack had occured. As usual, head to the
Chamber Of Fayth. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor. Located at the far end
are 5 pedestals. You need to choose the right one and push it in to deactivate
the electric barrier that prevents you from entering to the chamber. If you
pushed the wrong one, you'll end up in a battle. After deactivating it, head up
and Boss fight!

-|Boss ~ Dark Ixion|- Level 29
HP: 12380
MP: 9999
Equip your party members with Thunder Nullify ring. This would ease the battle
a lot. Use Break abilites here as Ixion is not immune to it. This would
definately reduce his offensive power. Use the same strategies that you've
used in the past previous battles with other Dark Aeons and you'll find this
battle to be quite easy.

<Obtaining Akagi Spheres no.2 & no.3)
After Yuna has been knocked down into the underground world, you'll receive
them automatically from Nooj and Gabriel.

After the CG scene and the conversation with Nooj and Gabriel. You'll notice
that there's a light that surrounds Yuna. Keep tapping the X button to
initiate a whistling event. You'll hear the whistle 4 to 5 times if you keep
pressing X button. Make sure you keep pressing. Don't stop! You'll see a
figure resembling someone very familiar. That figure will guide Yuna out of
the underworld. Mission completed.

.::END OF STORY LEVEL 3::.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.::STORY LEVEL 4::.

Basically you don't have much freedom to ream around in Story Level 4. You'll
be automatically guided to Active Link missions. I suggest that you complete
everything in Story Level 3 that needs to be completed before heading to this
section.

<Using The Tsuushin Sphere>
After the conversation, head to the top of Celcius, the open area to talk to
Paine. She'll be there alone. After that, head back to the cockpit and talk to
Shinra. Choose the first option. You'll open up a list of destinations. Here
are the places that you should visit using the Tsuushin Sphere.
~Besaid Island - A conversation with Wakka.
- 2 kids running around.
~Kilika Island - A conversation with Dona.
- Dona talking to herself in her sleep.
- Barthello talks to you at the Kilika Temple.
~Mushroom Rock Road - A conversation with Gatta. (If you chose the Youth
Alliance). Or else you'll have an underwater view.
~Bevelle - A conversation with Maroda.

After viewing the scenes above, talk to Dachi on the airship and he will brief
you on your next mission. After talking to him, talk to Shinra once again.
Choose the first option to use the Tsuushin Sphere again. Below are the list of
places you should visit as they contribute % to your story level completion.
~Kilika Island - Dona will chat with Yuna while walking around the village.
~Mihen High Road - Rin will ask Yuna to assist him in an investigation. Look
at the side mission <Rin's Investigation> below for further
information.

azulmagia wrote:Had! The manifestation of Nuit.

The unveiling of the company of heaven.

Every man and every woman is a star.

Every number is infinite; there is no difference.

Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children
of men!

Be thou Hadit, my secret centre, my heart f my tongue!

Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat.

The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in the Khabs.

Worship then the Khabs, and behold my light shed over you!

Let my servants be few f secret: they shall rule the many f the known.

These are fools that men adore; both their Gods f their men are fools.

Come forth, o children, under the stars, f take your fill of love!

I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. My joy is to see your
joy.

Above, the gemmed azure is
The naked splendour of Nuit;
She bends in ecstasy to kiss
The secret ardours of Hadit.
The winged globe, the starry blue,
Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu!

Now ye shall know that the chosen priest f apostle of infinite space is
the prince-priest the Beast; and in his woman called the Scarlet Woman
is all power given. They shall gather my children into their fold: they
shall bring the glory of the stars into the hearts of men.

For he is ever a sun, and she a moon. But to him is the winged secret
flame, and to her the stooping starlight.

But ye are not so chosen.

Burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent!

O azure-lidded woman, bend upon them!

The key of the rituals is in the secret word which I have given unto
him.

With the God f the Adorer I am nothing: they do not see me. They are as
upon the earth; I am Heaven, and there is no other God than me, and my
lord Hadit.

Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my name Nuit, and to him by a secret
name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me. Since I am
Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars thereof, do ye also thus. Bind
nothing! Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing
f any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt.

But whoso availeth in this, let him be the chief of all!

I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty.

Divide, add, multiply, and understand.

Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and
what shall be the sign? So she answered him, bending down, a lambent
flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the
black earth, f her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not
hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my
ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the
omnipresence of my body.

Then the priest answered f said unto the Queen of Space, kissing her
lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a
sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let
it ever be thus; that men speak not of the as One but as None; and let
them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous!

None, breathed the light, faint f faery, of the stars, and two.

For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.

This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as
nothing, and the joy of dissolution all.

For these fools of men and their woes care not thou at all! They feel
little; what is, is balanced by weak joys; but ye are my chosen ones.

Obey my prophet! follow out the ordeals of my knowledge! seek me only!
Then the joys of my love will redeem ye from all pain. This is so: I
swear it by the vault of my body; by my sacred heart and tongue; by all
I can give, by all I desire of ye all.

Then the priest fell into a deep trance or swoon, f said unto the Queen
of Heaven; Write unto us the ordeals; write unto us the rituals; write
unto us the law!

But she said: the ordeals I write not: the rituals shall be half known
and half concealed: the Law is for all.

This that thou writest is the threefold book of Law.

My scribe Ankh-af-na-khonsu, the priest of the princes, shall not in one
letter change this book; but lest there be folly, he shall comment
thereupon by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khu-it.

Also the mantras and spells; the obeah and the wanga; the work of the
wand and the work of the sword; these he shall learn and teach.

He must teach; but he may make severe the ordeals.

The word of the Law is [ThELEMA].

Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the
word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and
the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife, if she will!
O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no bond that can unite the
divided but love: all else is a curse. Accursed! Accursed be it to the
aeons! Hell.

Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all;
thou hast no right but to do thy will.

Do that, and no other shall say nay.

For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result,
is every way perfect.

The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two; nay, are none!

Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call
it eight, eighty, four-hundred f eighteen.

But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear.

My prophet is a fool with his one, one, one; are not they the Ox, and
none by the Book?

Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs.
Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the Equinox of the
Gods; and let Asar be with Isa, who also are one. But they are not of
me. Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his secret name
and splendour is the Lord initiating.

There is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Behold! there are
three ordeals in one, and it may be given in three ways. The gross must
pass through fire; let the fine be tried in intellect, and the lofty
chosen ones in the highest. Thus ye have star f star, system f system;
let not one know well the other!

There are four gates to one palace; the floor of that palace is of
silver and gold; lapis lazuli f jasper are there; and all rare scents;
jasmine f rose, and the emblems of death. Let him enter in turn or at
once the four gates; let him stand on the floor of the palace. Will he
not sink? Amn. Ho! warrior, if thy servant sink? But there are means and
means. Be goodly therefore: dress ye all in fine apparel; eat rich foods
and drink sweet wines and wines that foam! Also, take your fill and will
of love as ye will, when, where and with whom ye will! But always unto
me.

If this be not aright; if ye confound the space-marks, saying: They are
one; or saying, They are many; if the ritual be not ever unto me: then
expect the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit!

This shall regenerate the world, the little world my sister, my heart f
my tongue, unto whom I send this kiss. Also, o scribe and prophet,
though thou be of the princes, it shall not assuage thee nor absolve
thee. But ecstasy be thine and joy of earth: ever To me! To me!

Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o
prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein.

The child of thy bowels, he shall behold them.

Expect him not from the East, nor from the West; for from no expected
house cometh that child. Aum! All words are sacred and all prophets
true; save only that they understand a little; solve the first half of
the equation, leave the second unattacked. But thou hast all in the
clear light, and some, though not all, in the dark.

Invoke me under my stars! Love is the law, love under will. Nor let the
fools mistake love; for there are love and love. There is the dove, and
there is the serpent. Choose ye well! He, my prophet, hath chosen,
knowing the law of the fortress, and the great mystery of the House of
God.
All these old letters of my Book are aright; but [TzADDI] is not the Star.
This also is secret: my prophet shall reveal it to the wise.

I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life,
upon death; peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in
sacrifice.

My incense is of resinous woods and gums; and there is no blood therein:
because of my hair the trees of Eternity.

My number is 11, as all their numbers who are of us. The Five Pointed
Star, with a Circle in the Middle, f the circle is Red. My colour is
black to the blind, but the blue f gold are seen of the seeing. Also I
have a secret glory for them that love me.

But to love me is better than all things: if under the night-stars in
the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me
with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come a
little to lie in my bosom. For one kiss wilt thou then be willing to
give all; but whoso gives one particle of dust shall lose all in that
hour. Ye shall gather goods and store of women and spices; ye shall wear
rich jewels; ye shall exceed the nations of the earth in splendour f
pride; but always in the love of me, and so shall ye come to my joy. I
charge you earnestly to come before me in a single robe, and covered
with a rich headdress. I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple,
veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, and drunkenness
of the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the wings, and arouse the
coiled splendour within you: come unto me!

At all my meetings with you shall the priestess say -- and her eyes
shall burn with desire as she stands bare and rejoicing in my secret
temple -- To me! To me! calling forth the flame of the hearts of all in
her love-chant.

Sing the rapturous love-song unto me! Burn to me perfumes! Wear to me
jewels! Drink to me, for I love you! I love you!

I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset; I am the naked brilliance of
the voluptuous night-sky.

To me! To me!

The Manifestation of Nuit is at an end.

Nu! the hiding of Hadit.

Come! all ye, and learn the secret that hath not yet been revealed. I,
Hadit, am the complement of Nu, my bride. I am not extended, and Khabs
is the name of my House.

In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is
nowhere found.

Yet she shall be known f I never.

Behold! the rituals of the old time are black. Let the evil ones be cast
away; let the good ones be purged by the prophet! Then shall this
Knowledge go aright.

I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of
every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life, yet therefore is the
knowledge of me the knowledge of death.

I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel, and the
cube in the circle. "Come unto me" is a foolish word: for it is I that
go.

Who worshipped Heru-pa-kraath have worshipped me; ill, for I am the
worshipper.

Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but
as shadows; they pass f are done; but there is that which remains.

O prophet! thou hast ill will to learn this writing.

I see thee hate the hand f the pen; but I am stronger.

Because of me in Thee which thou knewest not.

for why? Because thou wast the knower, and me.

Now let there be a veiling of this shrine: now let the light devour men
and eat them up with blindness!

For I am perfect, being Not; and my number is nine by the fools; but
with the just I am eight, and one in eight: Which is vital, for I am
none indeed. The Empress and the King are not of me; for there is a
further secret.

I am the Empress f the Hierophant. Thus eleven, as my bride is eleven.

Hear me, ye people of sighing!
The sorrows of pain and regret
Are left to the dead and the dying,
The folk that not know me as yet.

These are dead, these fellows; they feel not. We are not for the poor
and sad: the lords of the earth are our kinsfolk.

Is a God to live in a dog? No! but the highest are of us. They shall
rejoice, our chosen: who sorroweth is not of us.

Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor, force and
fire, are of us.

We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit: let them die in their
misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of kings: stamp down
the wretched f the weak: this is the law of the strong: this is our law
and the joy of the world. Think not, o king, upon that lie: That Thou
Must Die: verily thou shalt not die, but live. Now let it be understood:
If the body of the King dissolve, he shall remain in pure ecstasy for
ever. Nuit! Hadit! Ra-Hoor-Khuit! The Sun, Strength f Sight, Light;
these are for the servants of the Star f the Snake.

I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge f Delight and bright glory, and
stir the hearts of men with drunkenness. To worship me take wine and
strange drugs whereof I will tell my prophet, f be drunk thereof! They
shall not harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self. The
exposure of innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things
of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this.

I am alone: there is no God where I am.

Behold! these be grave mysteries; for there are also of my friends who
be hermits. Now think not to find them in the forest or on the mountain;
but in beds of purple, caressed by magnificent beasts of women with
large limbs, and fire and light in their eyes, and masses of flaming
hair about them; there shall ye find them. Ye shall see them at rule, at
victorious armies, at all the joy; and there shall be in them a joy a
million times greater than this. Beware lest any force another, King
against King! Love one another with burning hearts; on the low men
trample in the fierce lust of your pride, in the day of your wrath.

Ye are against the people, O my chosen!

I am the secret Serpent coiled about to spring: in my coiling there is
joy. If I lift up my head, I and my Nuit are one. If I droop down mine
head, and shoot forth venom, then is rapture of the earth, and I and the
earth are one.

There is a great danger in me; for who doth not understand these runes
shall make a great miss. He shall fall down into the pit called Because,
and there he shall perish with the dogs of Reason.

Now a curse upon Because and his kin!

May Because be accursed for ever!

If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops f does
nought.

If Power asks why, then is Power weakness.

Also reason is a lie; for there is a factor infinite f unknown; f all
their words are skew-wise.

Enough of Because! Be he damned for a dog!

But ye, o my people, rise up f awake!

Let the rituals be rightly performed with joy f beauty!

There are rituals of the elements and feasts of the times.

A feast for the first night of the Prophet and his Bride!

A feast for the three days of the writing of the Book of the Law.

A feast for Tahuti and the child of the Prophet -- secret, O Prophet!

A feast for the Supreme Ritual, and a feast for the Equinox of the Gods.

A feast for fire and a feast for water; a feast for life and a greater
feast for death!

A feast every day in your hearts in the joy of my rapture!

A feast every night unto Nu, and the pleasure of uttermost delight!

Aye! feast! rejoice! there is no dread hereafter. There is the
dissolution, and eternal ecstasy in the kisses of Nu.

There is death for the dogs.

Dost thou fail? Art thou sorry? Is fear in thine heart?

Where I am these are not.

Pity not the fallen! I never knew them. I am not for them. I console
not: I hate the consoled f the consoler.

I am unique f conqueror. I am not of the slaves that perish. Be they
damned f dead! Amen. (This is of the 4: there is a fifth who is
invisible, f therein am I as a babe in an egg.)

Blue am I and gold in the light of my bride: but the red gleam is in my
eyes; f my spangles are purple f green.

Purple beyond purple: it is the light higher than eyesight.

There is a veil: that veil is black. It is the veil of the modest woman;
it is the veil of sorrow, f the pall of death: this is none of me. Tear
down that lying spectre of the centuries: veil not your vices in
virtuous words: these vices are my service; ye do well, f I will reward
you here and hereafter.

Fear not, o prophet, when these words are said, thou shalt not be sorry.
Thou art emphatically my chosen; and blessed are the eyes that thou
shalt look upon with gladness. But I will hide thee in a mask of sorrow:
they that see thee shall fear thou art fallen: but I lift thee up.

Nor shall they who cry aloud their folly that thou meanest nought avail;
thou shall reveal it: thou availest: they are the slaves of because:
They are not of me. The stops as thou wilt; the letters? change them not
in style or value!

Thou shalt obtain the order f value of the English Alphabet; thou shalt
find new symbols to attribute them unto.

Begone! ye mockers; even though ye laugh in my honour ye shall laugh not
long: then when ye are sad know that I have forsaken you.

He that is righteous shall be righteous still; he that is filthy shall
be filthy still.

Yea! deem not of change: ye shall be as ye are, f not other. Therefore
the kings of the earth shall be Kings for ever: the slaves shall serve.
There is none that shall be cast down or lifted up: all is ever as it
was. Yet there are masked ones my servants: it may be that yonder beggar
is a King. A King may choose his garment as he will: there is no certain
test: but a beggar cannot hide his poverty.

Beware therefore! Love all, lest perchance is a King concealed! Say you
so? Fool! If he be a King, thou canst not hurt him.

Therefore strike hard f low, and to hell with them, master!

There is a light before thine eyes, o prophet, a light undesired, most
desirable.

I am uplifted in thine heart; and the kisses of the stars rain hard upon
thy body.

Thou art exhaust in the voluptuous fullness of the inspiration; the
expiration is sweeter than death, more rapid and laughterful than a
caress of Hell's own worm.

Oh! thou art overcome: we are upon thee; our delight is all over thee:
hail! hail: prophet of Nu! prophet of Had! prophet of Ra-Hoor-Khu! Now
rejoice! now come in our splendour f rapture! Come in our passionate
peace, f write sweet words for the Kings!

I am the Master: thou art the Holy Chosen One.

Write, f find ecstasy in writing! Work, f be our bed in working! Thrill
with the joy of life f death! Ah! thy death shall be lovely: whoso seeth
it shall be glad. Thy death shall be the seal of the promise of our
agelong love. Come! lift up thine heart f rejoice! We are one; we are
none.

Hold! Hold! Bear up in thy rapture; fall not in swoon of the excellent
kisses!

Harder! Hold up thyself! Lift thine head! breathe not so deep -- die!

Ah! Ah! What do I feel? Is the word exhausted?

There is help f hope in other spells. Wisdom says: be strong! Then canst
thou bear more joy. Be not animal; refine thy rapture! If thou drink,
drink by the eight and ninety rules of art: if thou love, exceed by
delicacy; and if thou do aught joyous, let there be subtlety therein!

But exceed! exceed!

Strive ever to more! and if thou art truly mine -- and doubt it not, and
if thou art ever joyous! -- death is the crown of all.

Ah! Ah! Death! Death! thou shalt long for death. Death is forbidden, o
man, unto thee.

The length of thy longing shall be the strength of its glory. He that
lives long f desires death much is ever the King among the Kings.

Aye! listen to the numbers f the words:

4 6 3 8 A B K 2 4 A L G M O R 3 Y X 24 89 R P S T O V A L. What meaneth
this, o prophet? Thou knowest not; nor shalt thou know ever. There
cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it. But remember, o chosen
one, to be me; to follow the love of Nu in the star-lit heaven; to look
forth upon men, to tell them this glad word.

O be thou proud and mighty among men!

Lift up thyself! for there is none like unto thee among men or among
Gods! Lift up thyself, o my prophet, thy stature shall surpass the
stars. They shall worship thy name, foursquare, mystic, wonderful, the
number of the man; and the name of thy house 418.

The end of the hiding of Hadit; and blessing f worship to the prophet of
the lovely Star!

Abrahadabra! the reward of Ra Hoor Khut.

There is division hither homeward; there is a word not known. Spelling
is defunct; all is not aught. Beware! Hold! Raise the spell of
Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance.
I shall deal hardly with them.

Choose ye an island!

Fortify it!

Dung it about with enginery of war!

I will give you a war-engine.

With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you.

Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! this is the Law of the Battle of Conquest:
thus shall my worship be about my secret house.

Get the stele of revealing itself; set it in thy secret temple -- and
that temple is already aright disposed -- f it shall be your Kiblah for
ever. It shall not fade, but miraculous colour shall come back to it day
after day. Close it in locked glass for a proof to the world.

This shall be your only proof. I forbid argument. Conquer! That is
enough. I will make easy to you the abstruction from the ill-ordered
house in the Victorious City. Thou shalt thyself convey it with worship,
o prophet, though thou likest it not. Thou shalt have danger f trouble.
Ra-Hoor-Khu is with thee. Worship me with fire f blood; worship me with
swords f with spears. Let the woman be girt with a sword before me: let
blood flow to my name. Trample down the Heathen; be upon them, o
warrior, I will give you of their flesh to eat!

Sacrifice cattle, little and big: after a child.

But not now.

Ye shall see that hour, o blessed Beast, and thou the Scarlet Concubine
of his desire!

Ye shall be sad thereof.

Deem not too eagerly to catch the promises; fear not to undergo the
curses. Ye, even ye, know not this meaning all.

Fear not at all; fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything.
Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power in
heaven or upon the earth or under the earth. Nu is your refuge as Hadit
your light; and I am the strength, force, vigour, of your arms.

Mercy let be off: damn them who pity! Kill and torture; spare not; be
upon them!

That stele they shall call the Abomination of Desolation; count well its
name, f it shall be to you as 718.

Why? Because of the fall of Because, that he is not there again.

Set up my image in the East: thou shalt buy thee an image which I will
show thee, especial, not unlike the one thou knowest. And it shall be
suddenly easy for thee to do this.

The other images group around me to support me: let all be worshipped,
for they shall cluster to exalt me. I am the visible object of worship;
the others are secret; for the Beast f his Bride are they: and for the
winners of the Ordeal x. What is this? Thou shalt know.

For perfume mix meal f honey f thick leavings of red wine: then oil of
Abramelin and olive oil, and afterward soften f smooth down with rich
fresh blood.

The best blood is of the moon, monthly: then the fresh blood of a child,
or dropping from the host of heaven: then of enemies; then of the priest
or of the worshipers: last of some beast, no matter what.

This burn: of this make cakes f eat unto me. This hath also another use;
let it be laid before me, and kept thick with perfumes of your orison:
it shall become full of beetles as it were and creeping things sacred
unto me.

These slay, naming your enemies; f they shall fall before you.

Also these shall breed lust f power of lust in you at the eating
thereof.

Also ye shall be strong in war.

Moreover, be they long kept, it is better; for they swell with my force.
All before me.

My altar is of open brass work: burn thereon in silver or gold!

There cometh a rich man from the West who shall pour his gold upon thee.

From gold forge steel!

Be ready to fly or to smite!

But your holy place shall be untouched throughout the centuries: though
with fire and sword it be burnt down f shattered, yet an invisible house
there standeth, and shall stand until the fall of the Great Equinox;
when Hrumachis shall arise and the double-wanded one assume my throne
and place. Another prophet shall arise, and bring fresh fever from the
skies; another woman shall awake the lust f worship of the Snake;
another soul of God and beast shall mingle in the globed priest; another
sacrifice shall stain the tomb; another king shall reign; and blessing
no longer be poured To the Hawk-headed mystical Lord!

The half of the word of Heru-ra-ha, called Hoor-pa-kraat and
Ra-Hoor-Khut.

Then said the prophet unto the God:

I adore thee in the song --

I am the Lord of Thebes, and I
The inspired forth-speaker of Mentu;
For me unveils the veiled sky,
The self-slain Ankh-af-na-khonsu
Whose words are truth. I invoke, I greet
Thy presence, O Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

Unity uttermost showed!
I adore the might of Thy breath,
Supreme and terrible God,
Who makest the gods and death
To tremble before Thee: --
I, I adore thee!

Appear on the throne of Ra!
Open the ways of the Khu!
Lighten the ways of the Ka!
The ways of the Khabs run through
To stir me or still me!
Aum! let it fill me!

So that thy light is in me; f its red flame is as a sword in my hand to
push thy order. There is a secret door that I shall make to establish
thy way in all the quarters, (these are the adorations, as thou hast
written), as it is said:

The light is mine; its rays consume
Me: I have made a secret door
Into the House of Ra and Tum,
Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.
I am thy Theban, O Mentu,
The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu!

By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat;
By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell.
Show thy star-splendour, O Nuit!
Bid me within thine House to dwell,
O winged snake of light, Hadit!
Abide with me, Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

All this and a book to say how thou didst come hither and a reproduction
of this ink and paper for ever -- for it is in the word secret f not
only in the English -- and thy comment upon this the Book of the Law
shall be printed beautifully in red ink and black upon beautiful paper
made by hand; and to each man and woman that thou meetest, were it but
to dine or to drink at them, it is the Law to give. Then they shall
chance to abide in this bliss or no; it is no odds. Do this quickly!

But the work of the comment? That is easy; and Hadit burning in thy
heart shall make swift and secure thy pen.

Establish at thy Kaaba a clerk-house: all must be done well and with
business way.

The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only the blind ones. Refuse
none, but thou shalt know f destroy the traitors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit;
and I am powerful to protect my servant. Success is thy proof: argue
not; convert not; talk not overmuch! Them that seek to entrap thee, to
overthrow thee, them attack without pity or quarter; f destroy them
utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike! Be thou yet
deadlier than he! Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh at their
fear: spit upon them!

Let the Scarlet Woman beware! If pity and compassion and tenderness
visit her heart; if she leave my work to toy with old sweetnesses; then
shall my vengeance be known. I will slay me her child: I will alienate
her heart: I will cast her out from men; as a shrinking and despised
harlot shall she crawl through dusk wet streets, and die cold and
an-hungered.

But let her raise herself with pride! Let her follow me in my way! Let
her work the work of wickedness! Let her kill her heart! Let her be loud
and adulterous! Let her be covered with jewels, and rich garments, and
let her be shameless before all men!

Then will I lift her to pinnacles of power: then will I breed from her a
child mightier than all the kings of the earth. I will fill her with
joy: with my force shall she see f strike at the worship of Nu: she
shall achieve Hadit.

I am the warrior Lord of the Forties: the Eighties cower before me, f
are abased. I will bring you to victory f joy: I will be at your arms in
battle f ye shall delight to slay. Success is your proof; courage is
your armour; go on, go on, in my strength; f ye shall turn not back for
any!

This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the
original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the
letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries that
no Beast shall divine. Let him not seek to try: but one cometh after
him, whence I say not, who shall discover the Key of it all. Then this
line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure is a key
also. And Abrahadabra. It shall be his child f that strangely. Let him
not seek after this; for thereby alone can he fall from it.

Now this mystery of the letters is done, and I want to go on to the
holier place.

I am in a secret fourfold word, the blasphemy against all gods of men.

Curse them! Curse them! Curse them!

With my Hawk's head I peck at the eyes of Jesus as he hangs upon the
cross.

I flap my wings in the face of Mohammed f blind him.

With my claws I tear out the flesh of the Indian and the Buddhist,
Mongol and Din.

Bahlasti! Ompehda! I spit on your crapulous creeds.

Let Mary inviolate be torn upon wheels: for her sake let all chaste
women be utterly despised among you!

Also for beauty's sake and love's!

Despise also all cowards; professional soldiers who dare not fight, but
play; all fools despise!

But the keen and the proud, the royal and the lofty; ye are brothers!

As brothers fight ye!

There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.

There is an end of the word of the God enthroned in Ra's seat,
lightening the girders of the soul.

To Me do ye reverence! to me come ye through tribulation of ordeal,
which is bliss.

The fool readeth this Book of the Law, and its comment; f he
understandeth it not.

Let him come through the first ordeal, f it will be to him as silver.

Through the second, gold.

Through the third, stones of precious water.

Through the fourth, ultimate sparks of the intimate fire.

Yet to all it shall seem beautiful. Its enemies who say not so, are mere
liars.

There is success.

I am the Hawk-Headed Lord of Silence f of Strength; my nemyss shrouds
the night-blue sky.

Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the world! for your time is
nigh at hand.

I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph
Nia -- but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe; f
nought remains.

Paste the sheets from right to left and from top to bottom: then behold!

There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of
midnight is ever the son.

The ending of the words is the Word Abrahadabra.


The Book of the Law is Written and Concealed.
Aum. Ha.

Morbid curiosity got the better of me. >.<

If you're going to post the Odyssey, at least post a good translation. I highly recommend the Lombardo one.

oh, and i do intend to read all three. The Book of the Law, the FFX-2 walkthrough(after playing of course) and the Oddesy. I've actually read parts of the Oddesy before, it's a good tale.

Please, actually, yes. I'd like to read them, if for no other reason than to say i have. And i know they are increadably long and boring. I don't care.
