Thunder Plains
When you leave Guadolasam, you'll be wandering out onto the thunder plains. If
you time it right, you can jump out of the way of lightning bolts. This is considered
a "mini-game" so you may want to practice it for a bit. Depending on how many bolts
you can jump from, you can get cool prizes later. There is another side quest you can
complete here, but I recommend waiting a little before attempting it (see the "misc
side quests" section). For now, just head straight out onto the plains. There's a
save point just in front of you. Use than, then look for the chest north and west
from here.
Tips
- To keep fiends from casting lightning and powering up, you can cast 'null-shock'
on them.
- You can also use it on you to keep from getting smooshed by lightning attacks.
- Keep Lu in the battles until she learns watera, if she doesn't have it already.
It's usefull here.
- Kill some Quacktars if you can. Lots 'o AP! - but be SURE to steal a Chocobo
feather from one (10 of these let you teach your Aeon Haste).
- Call Ixion on the quacktaurs (if you can do thor's hammer). Then again, Ifrit's
meteor strike will kill them off too (albeit one at a time...)
- If you have to fight Iron Giants, remember, they are not totally immune to
lightning, but they are close. Use Dark Buster and Watera.
When it looks like you can go two directions, take the left one. You can rest there.
(Not that you will have a choice.) Talk to Riku and Rin will appear. Talk to him and
say your study is going OK, and you'll get Al Bhed Primer vol. XIV. Tell him that's
Auron over there to learn a little more about Auron's past. Be sure to read the thing
on the counter, too. Follow Yuna, and you'll eventually have an opportunity to
leave.
Optional: Dodge lightning strikes mini-game. If you have fast enough reflexes
and enough patience, you can get some cool prizes here. If you are able to dodge 200
strikes in a row, you can get the Venus Sigil - required for Lulu's ultimate weapon.
TO do this, head to the southern area (leave the travel agency via the south exit and
run around dodging strikes. Don't go back to the screen with the agency, don't leave
the thunder plains, and don't load game, play blitzball, or visit the airship. After
dodging all 200 strikes, head to the travel agency and open the chest out front.
Depending on how many you've dodged, you'll get Ether, and Elixir, and various prizes:
- 5: 2x X-Potion
- 10: 2x Mega-Potion
- 20: 2x MP Sphere
- 50: 3x Strength Sphere
- 100: 3x HP Sphere
- 150: 4x Megalixir
- 200: Venus Sigil
(End of optional area.)
When you continue north from here, some guy will probably run by and take your
picture. When he's gone, there should be a shild on the ground that will render Tidus
Shockproof! To the west is a chest with an X-Potion. Head north, and save at the save
point. Eventually, Yuna will ask to talk to everyone. When you are under the building
there, go around the left side and look in the chest for an Ether. Follow the cliff to
your left and open that chest as well (remedy). If you head to your right (go all the
way to the opposite side of this canyon; if you come to a quactar stone, head down and
right) there's a chest to your right with 2,000 Gil in it.
There are other chests and things around here, but you may want to be a little
more powerful before you try for them. I really recommend you come back and get the
other stuff later (see the Misc Quests section for more info on this). If you follow
my strategy, you'll be coming back here to gather fiends in a little while, so you're
not really missing anything. Now continue on north toward Macalania Woods.
