Besaid Island

As soon as you land, you’ll be surrounded by the Besaid Aurochs blitzball team. Talk to one of them to initiate a cutscene. Beclem will appear, and he doesn’t have many nice things to say.

The next Mission is a challenge from Beclem. He challenges you to beat his high score of 500 points in a mini-game called the Gunner’s Gauntlet. This challenge can be a bit annoying, especially as you learn the wacky control system, so it’s recommended that you go through the tutorial if you haven’t played it before.

A few tips to help you progress a bit faster:

  • Avoiding attacks from fiends matters more than going fast. Aim for a high chain score, and remember your chain resets every time you get hit.
  • Don’t let the treasure chests despawn. They disappear pretty quickly.
  • Use Death ammo sparingly. Specifically, you should save it for enemies with 7+ HP.
  • Make use of the areas where you can’t get hit, like the close wall near the waterfall shown in the screenshot below. Fiends will run right past Yuna if she stands in the correct spot.

The Gunner’s Gauntlet mini-game is part of an achievement/trophy as well, which requires getting a really high score. Check out the Gunner’s Gauntlet page in the Side Quest section using the link below:

Score more than 500 points and reach the beach within the 7-minute limit to complete the Mission. You’ll receive the Garment Grid IconEnigma Plate Garment Grid and be transported back to the Celsius. But before leaving, you may want to head back and complete the Publicity and Marriage Campaigns in Besaid Island for this chapter. There's also some treasure chests you can pick up across Beseaid.
