Achievements and Trophies

You can obtain this Achievement/Trophy automatically once you earn all the other achievements/trophies listed on this page. Read the descriptions below for more information on how to obtain each of them.

Al Bhed Primers are small books scattered throughout Spira that allow you to learn the Al Bhed Language. Each book that you locate deciphers one letter of the Al Bhed alphabet, which is a direct letter-for-letter conversion of normal English words.

You can easily obtain this Achievement/Trophy by picking up any one of the 26 Al Bhed Primers in the game. The more challenging Achievement/Trophy related to this one is the Master Linguist Achievement/Trophy, which requires you to obtain all 26. Refer to the Al Bhed Primer Locations guide in the Side Quests section for more information on where to find each Al Bhed Primer.

All you have to do to win this Achievement/Trophy is win a single Blitzball match. You can earn it as early as your first visit to Luca when the Besaid Aurochs face off against the Luca Goers; however, this can be a fairly challenging match to win. It is much easier to earn this Achievement/Trophy later on in the game when you can assemble a more skilled Blitzball team made up of players from around Spira.

You will earn this Achievement/Trophy automatically once you have made it through the Besaid Cloister of Trials. The visit to this Cloister occurs early on in the game when Tidus is touring Besaid Island and first meets Yuna in the Temple. Check out the Besaid Village section of the strategy guide for more information, or head over to the Besaid Cloister of Trials page.

Although you run into her earlier on in the game, Rikku joins your party after they cross the Moonflow in the Shoopuf. She has already learned the Steal ability when she joins your party, so earning this Achievement/Trophy is just a matter of using the command a total of 200 times in battle. Stealing this many times shouldn’t be hard to accomplish, as you should be stealing from enemies quite regularly!

You will earn this Achievement/Trophy automatically once Rikku joins your party after you have crossed the Moonflow in the Shoopuf. At this point in the game, you have access to all six party members and can pick and choose which characters to utilize.

You will earn this Achievement/Trophy automatically after you watch the FMV cutscene video of Tidus and Yuna when your team revisits Macalania Woods. Use the link below to view that section of the guide (spoilers ahead!).

You will obtain this Achievement/Trophy if your team has the most points at the end of a Blitzball tournament. You don’t have to win every game in the tournament, though. You just have to have the most points. Refer to the Blitzball section for more information on Blitzball and Blitzball tournaments.

There are two ways to obtain this Achievement/Trophy. You can either successfully obtain the Achievement/Trophy during the S.S. Winno scene by completing the “Jecht Shot Mini-Game” during the scenes that take place on the ferry, or you can head back to the S.S. Winno later on and complete it if you missed it.

There are several tricks and tips provided in the S.S. Winno section of the strategy guide. If you missed it, though, you can still obtain it later on in the game. Use the Airship (when available) to travel back to Kilika and use the ferry to travel to Luca. You can still find the Blitzball in the same spot that it was before.

This Achievement/Trophy is considered one of the more difficult ones to obtain, and many gamers struggle with the Chocobo Trainer side quests. These side quests are definitely challenging. Check out the Chocobo Training guide in the Side Quests section for more information on how to beat each of the training modes.

Yunalesca is one of the bosses that you fight towards the end of the game. You fight her in the Zanarkand Ruins. Use the link to go to that section of the strategy guide.

Seymour Omnis is the last version of Seymour that you face on your way to do battle with Sin. You fight him at the end of the Sea of Sorrow sequence before you make it inside Sin.

This Achievement/Trophy is probably the second most difficult to obtain. While traveling through the Thunder Plains, you must dodge 200 lightning bolts by pressing as the lightning hits; a fairly difficult feat in and of itself, however, doing this 200 times is extremely challenging. Check out the Lightning Dodger guide in the Side Quests section for some great tips on how to complete this challenge.

Obtaining this Achievement/Trophy requires you to seek out and obtain Anima, one of the optional Aeons, and the one that you saw Seymour summon during the sequence at Luca. Check out the Baaj Temple or the Anima guides in the Side Quests section for more information on how to complete these tasks. You can only do this once you have reached the later stages of the game.

You can obtain this Achievement/Trophy once you have completed the side quest events in the Caverns of the Stolen Fayth to obtain Yojimbo, an optional Aeon. You can do this during your first trip through the Calm Lands, but it is better left until you reach the end of the game.

The Magus Sisters are the most powerful Aeon(s) in the game. They are the last Aeon(s) that you can obtain and are the most difficult. You can get them by completing the side quest events at Remiem Temple. Check out the Remiem Temple page or the Magus Sisters page in the side quest page for more information.

This Achievement/Trophy is pretty straightforward. All you have to do is return to Luca, travel to the Luca Theater, and purchase all the available Music and Movie spheres. Or rather, this is pretty straightforward if you have the Gil to spare. Check out the Luca Sphere Theater section for more information, or refer to the Earning Gil section if you need to earn some extra Gil.

One of the most difficult Achievements/Trophies to obtain. To earn it, you must complete the Chocobo Trainer missions and complete the catcher Chocobo mission with a time of 0:0:0. In other words, you need to hit enough red balloons to reduce your time down to 0. You will already need to do this to obtain the Sun Sigil, but a lot of players give up on this achievement. Refer to the Chocobo Training guide in the Side Quests section for more information.

You will likely earn this Achievement/Trophy automatically and accidentally as you proceed through the game, though not always if you go straight to the end of the game without completing any of the side quests. Check out the Quick Leveling page, the Triple AP Weapons page, and the Stat Maxing page for more information if your characters just aren’t able to hit that maximum value quite yet!

You must use the Bribe ability and spend 100,000 Gil to earn this item. You may hit this achievement automatically by ‘stat maxing’ your characters. Refer to the Bribe List page in the Tips and Tricks section if you would like to know more about how to use the Bribe ability effectively, but note that as long as you have the Gil, you can throw away all 100,000 Gil in one go to obtain this Achievement/Trophy.

Jecht Spheres are short movies that you can pick up and view during your travels throughout Spira. You will find some of them relatively easily, but you might miss a few if you are not paying attention. The walkthrough in this strategy guide points out each of their locations, and you can find a complete list of the spheres and their locations on the Jecht Spheres page in the Side Quests section.

There are several attacks that you can use that are capable of dealing 99999 damage with a single hit. Here are a few of them:

• Use a weapon with the Break Damage Limit ability
• Use a Celestial Weapon with high character stats
• Use Stat Maxing to increase your character’s attack power
• Summon Anima or Magus Sisters

This Achievement/Trophy can be particularly challenging to obtain. To obtain it, you will need to follow a particular pathway. Use the video to help you navigate the raceway:

At first, obtaining this Achievement/Trophy can seem like a daunting challenge; however, to complete the more difficult side quests in Final Fantasy X and earn some of the more challenging trophies, you will naturally complete your character’s Sphere Grids. Use the Quick Leveling page, the Triple AP Weapons page, and the Stat Maxing page in the Tips and Tricks section for more information on how to complete this task.

“Slot Reels” are Wakka’s Overdrives, which include “Attack Reels,” “Status Reels,” and “Auroch Reels.” To obtain each of these prizes, you will need to complete Blitzball tournaments and league matches.

You can obtain “Attack Reels” by winning your first tournament and “Status Reels” by coming in first in a Blitzball league season. “Auroch Reels” can be won only after you have completed 450 battles and also obtained Attack Reels and Status Reels. Check out the Blitzball section for more information.

You can earn the “Learning!” Achievement/Trophy by having Kimahri learn all of his Overdrive / Ronso Rage abilities by using Lancet on various enemies around Spira. He will have to learn the following abilities:

Refer to the Overdrive section on Ronso Rage for more information.

You will already have earned this Achievement/Trophy if you obtained the three optional Aeons, as the other Aeons are all mandatory and you receive them naturally as you progress through the game. Check out the “Optional Aeons” subsection in the Side Quests section for more information on how to obtain Anima, Yojimbo, and the Magus Sisters.

You can earn this Achievement/Trophy by obtaining each character’s Celestial Weapon. Check out the Celestial Weapons section for more information.

You can earn this Achievement/Trophy by tracking down and picking up all 26 of the Al Bhed Primers scattered throughout Spira. It is very easy to miss them if you aren’t playing using a strategy guide. This strategy guide lists where to find each of them; however, you cannot return to some sections of the game to pick them up if you missed them while you were there. For example, the Al Bhed Primers located in the Al Bhed base, Home, cannot be obtained if you miss them.

Check out the Al Bhed Primer Locations guide in the Side Quests section for more information.

This Achievement/Trophy can be a bit of a challenge and takes a fair bit of time to earn. Similar to the Sphere Master Achievement/Trophy above, use the Quick Leveling page, Triple AP Weapons page, and the Stat Maxing page in the Tips and Tricks section for more information on how to complete this task.

You can obtain this Achievement/Trophy after you have defeated an optional boss named Penance. Penance can only be unlocked after you have obtained all the Aeons in the game and defeated the optional Dark Aeons scattered throughout each town. You may have accidentally run into a few if you tried to travel back to any of the towns later on in the game!

Check out the Penance guide in the Side Quests section for more information on how to engage Penance in battle, as well as some tips and tricks for how to defeat him.

Nemesis is an optional boss that you can fight after you have unlocked every boss in the Monster Arena and defeated all of them. This boss fight is considered the most difficult in the game, but with some proper planning, it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge.

Check out the Monster Arena section for more information on how to trap fiends and unlock bosses. Then, check out the Nemesis page in the Monster Arena section for tips and tricks on how to defeat this difficult boss.

Yu Yevon is the final boss that you face after you defeat Sin and is the last boss that you face while completing the normal story of the game. It isn’t the most challenging fight in the game (not by a long shot!), but check out the walkthrough section for Inside Sin if you would like tips and tricks for defeating this boss.

“Eternal Calm” is a cinematic cutscene that you can watch that comes with the newer releases of Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 HD. All you have to do to obtain this Achievement/Trophy is watch the movie.
