FFX Walkthrough
Kilika
After the team arrives in Kilika follow the blitzball team members down the makeshift docks to where Yuna will perform the sending for the fallen townsfolk.
Head out of the hotel and go east to see Wakka. Once he joins up with the group go west and seek out the temple. Yuna will tell Tidus she wants him to become one of her guardians, afterwhich you can begin to make your way through the forest. Go north towards the temple. All of the paths that lead west and east off the main trail yield items that may be of some use.
Sinspawn: On your way up the stairs the team will be forced into another fight against a Sinspawn. The best tactic for beating this Sinspawn is to attack the surrounding vines before attacking the Sinspawn itself. Once both arms/vines have been killed attacks should be focused on the Sinspawn. The Sinspawn will open up after a set number of attacks allowing its inards to be hit. Another pretty standard fight.
Once the Sinspawn has been defeated continue up the stairway until you reach the Kilika Temple.
Walk up to the temple entrance and you’ll meet the Luca Goers. After a short introduction continue into the temple. Talk to Wakka and if you want to improve his affection for you, pray with him. After this you’ll meet another summoner, Dona, who is on her way out. Attempt to enter the Kilika Cloister of Trials and you'll be refused entry - however Dona will take care of things.
Go through the door to the north to start the Kilika Cloister of Trials.
After completing the Kilika Cloister of Trials and meet up with the team once again Tidus will be scolded in standard fashion. Continue to talk to team members to keep the story rolling. Attempt to leave after talking to all of them and before Tidus walks through the exit Yuna will come out. You now have a new Aeon - Ifrit.
From outside the temple walk towards the entrance for an interjection by some Kilika citizens. They'll have a quick chat with the summoner and Tidus can then make his way back to Kilika through the forest. Once back at Kilika make go towards the docks where the team first arrived and prepare for departure. Feel free to embark whenever you're ready.
S.S. Winno
While riding the S.S. Winno go up and eavesdrop on Wakka and Lulu. They’ll talk about what they are going to do with Tidus. Go down to the main deck and press X near the blitzball (as in the picture) to reminisce about Tidus' past. It's here that you can learn to do the Jecht shot if you complete the mini-game successfully. If you're dead set on getting the Jecht shot (which is extremely powerful and useful if you plan on getting heavily involved in blitzball tournaments) just save before you head down towards the blitzball and reset if you fail the mini-game.
Completing the mini-game:
This mini-game is complicated at first glance and I failed it many times before I figured out what to do. The screen will flash with what buttons to press and it primarily depending on where the words appear on the screen. After a few practice rounds and it comes time to do it for real there is one important difference. It becomes Jecht’s insults that determine what buttons you are to press. When the insult appears in the middle of the screen just press X, just like in practice. Restart if you don’t get it - it's not a move you’ll get a second chance at unless it’s a prize, so get it now or wait... well... forever. Once you get it right the other Aurochs will ask you to do it one more time. That’s how you’ll know if you did it correctly. Afterwards go and talk to Yuna.
A quick chat with Yuna will see the boat arrive at the final destination, Luca.
Luca
Upon arrival at Luca the team will be informed that that Maester Mika has arrived as well. Head north to watch him arrive at his dock along with the new Maester Seymour Guado. After he introduces himself to you Tidus and the team will head down to the stadium to begin the blitzball tournament.
Just before the tournament starts Yuna will tell you someone saw Auron in a café and TIdus and Yuna will go look for him before the first match starts.
Leave the stadium and head south following the red markers on the mini-map. You may want to search the docks for treasures and items before you stumble upon Auron. As you head south you’ll be met by a crowd of Yuna fans. Continue down the walkways until you get to the town center, then head north into the café. After you meet Biran and Yenke the blitzball tournament will start without you.
Yuna will then disappear - kidnapped by the Al Bhed. Now Tidus, Kimahri and Lulu will have to go and rescue Yuna before the blitzball tournament begins. The Al Bhed are located at dock 4 so head back to the stadium and go around to dock 4. You have to travel around the left way and fight the machina along the way.
Once all the machina have been defeated you’ll get a little preview on how the Aurochs are doing despite your absence. After the video is done continue down the walkways towards the Al Bhed ship. Tidus and the team will jump on before it gets away.
You now have to fight the machina boss, Oblitzerator, on the Al Bhed ship. At the beginning of the battle Tidus will describe how to use the crane to help defeat the machina. Get Tidus to try and operate it first to find out that it’s out of power. Lulu’s Thunder spell can be used to re-activate it. Just hit it three times and then use the trigger command to get Tidus to operate it. The crane will take off a piece of Oblitzerator, making it far easier to destroy. Once it’s destroyed you’ll get Yuna back on your team and you can make your way back to the stadium.
Travel down into the Aurochs locker room and talk to Wakka on the bench to get the final game underway. Winning the game is not necessary; so don’t worry if you blow it, especially if this is your first time through the game.
The game concludes with Tidus and Wakka being ambushed inside the sphere by some fish monsters. There are quite a few of them - so fight sparingly and knowingly. You'll now get Auron on your team for the rest of the game and get to use him to fight a monster right now. After that fight Tidus, Auron and Wakka will have to take on a flying monster.
After its defeated you will be overcome by monsters until Maester Seymour comes to rescue the day with his awesome Aeon: Anima. She (it's a she, I promise) will destroy all the monsters very easily.
Auron will now give you the whole background on how things have gotten to how they are now. After talking to him both Tidus and Auron will offer their services to Yuna as guardians. Follow the red arrows on the mini-map to find your way to where Yuna and the rest of the team are waiting for you. Once this has been completed talk to Yuna and She will show you that you can whistle to try and cheer each other up after a rather long and pointless conversation.
If you plan on playing blitzball I recommend you get a few team members here before continuing the journey. Find and hire Wedge, Zev Ronso and Zalitz.
