This quest can be done ANY time in the game. If you want to do this in the beginning chapters, you MUST raise 900,000 gil and buy the Besaid Key. Where do you buy you ask? Its in the last shop, northwest if your at the entrance. DO NOT TALK TO THE SHOPKEEPER. Why? Because talking to her about the Key will increase the chance by 25% that the key will be sold to a traveler. DO NOT TALK TO THE OLD MAN INSIDE THE TEMPLE. Why? There is an old man crossing his legs in one of the chambers. If you talk to him, your chances that the Key will be sold, will increase to 50%. Of course, If you don't want to buy the key, or it has been sold, all is not lost. You can get the Key for free, but that happens in Chapter 3. In order to obtain this Key for free, you MUST participate in the Mission in the Calm Lands in Chapter 3. If you missed it in Chapter 3, you can still do this mission in Chapter 5. Head to the Cave of the Stolen Fayth. Check below if you do not know where this is at. When your at the Calm Lands head towards the Entrance to Mt. Gagazet. When your heading towards the entrance, you will see a bridge(your still at the Calm Lands). Cross the Bridge and you will see slope going down and a hidden path. Head down path until you see a group of people. Participate in this Quest by rescuing all the people in the Cave of the Stolen Fayth. Once you participate in this, find a male traveler(he has no shirt), and rescue him. He will give you the Besaid Key as a gift for rescuing him. Now that you have the Key, lets head back to Besaid, shall we... If you haven't done the missions needed in Besaid already, do it now. After you've done whats needed in Besaid, lets get on with mystery Besaid Key. So what does it do? It unlocks that Chest inside the Besaid Temple. Head into the chamber and open that chest. Its... a Search Sphere. Now you might be wondering what it does? It locates hidden Commspheres that exsist underneath the ground. Your goal is to find 4 Commspheres and find the password. To use the Search Sphere, you have to hold the O button. That will bring up a meter that reacts when your near the Commsphere. It reacts by turning "Red" when you are near. It will make "beeping" noises when you're over it. Then you press the X button to dig it up. When you find a Commsphere, look in it to find a Green Sphere to look up the password. It has a number on the Green Sphere. Make sure you input the in order from the starting position to ending position. Check Commsphere/Green Sphere Location Section for the order. |----------------------------------------| |NOTE: ALL PASSWORDS ARE RANDOM EACH GAME| |----------------------------------------| Once you find all the Commspheres and Password, its time to find where you input the code. Remember the Cave you found Wakka in the beginning of the game? Lets head back there shall we. Once you're there, head to the part of the cave you saw Wakka at in the beginning. Turn to your right and you will see a big wall. Right by it, is a Input Pad. Press X button to bring up the Password Input Screen. Input your password to unlock the wall. Go through the path and you will find 4 Ethers. No this is not your prize for unlocking this wall. Continue the path up until your at the top. Go through the next area. Remember the Besaid Sphere you saw at the beginning of the game? You will find 2 things about this sphere. 1. This is Sphere reveals the Location of a Green Sphere. 2. This is where your prize is at. You will be on top of the waterfall/cliff. Run through on top of this cliff and you'll find a chest. Open it up and you will obtain a Garment Grid. The Raging Giant Garment Grid. A Garment Grid that has Confuse, Confuseproof, Berserk, Berserkproof. A Prize that was well worth 900,000 gil.... *not really* &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Commsphere/Green Sphere Locations % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I decided to split apart this section from the walkthrough so I don't spoil anything for some of you who want to do this yourself. If you're having a hard time finding them or the order of it, check here. -Commsphere Locations/Order Comm. #1- Besaid Village. Check Map for hidden path behind a shop. Comm. #2- Below the Save sphere. Hold O to eventually find it. Comm. #3- The path before the first waterfall. Hold O to find it. Comm. #4- The Cliff before the cave. Its on the left side by the edge. -Green Sphere Locations Grn Sph. #1- Check over the Temple. It should be somewhere on the roof. Grn Sph. #2- Check high up on the right side. It should be on a tree. Grn Sph. #3- Check Besaid Sphere to find it. Its high up in front of you. Grn Sph. #4- Check far in the horizon. Its on the highest tree. -Tips to finding Commspheres. Just in case my descriptions are a bit vague, here are some tips. 1. Always hold O in the location. Run around when needed to and holding O. You'll eventually find it in the locations I gave. 2. Pay attention to Meter. The more red it gets, the closer you are. When it beeps, you're on top of it. -Tips to finding Green Spheres. Just in case my descriptions are a bit vague, here are some tips. 1. Most of them are on top of trees, so look for an object that is less green than the other objects. Zoom in on it. 2. Zoom in at least once and look around. Check the highest points to find the spheres. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Troubleshooting % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% In this section, I will provide as much troubleshooting info as possible. With this quest, there are times that a password not might work. Is it a glitch? No Is it a defect? No What is it??? Its you. The number you inputted, was incorrect. Or you inputted them in wrong order. Here is all the info I know that can help you solve it. |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |NOTE: If You played Sphere Break, detecting the numbers is a snap | |and should be no trouble at all since they both look alike in this | |quest and Sphere Break Coins. | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| -Wierd Looking Numbers There are some numbers that you'll find on a sphere to be a bit... wierd looking. Some even look like other numbers. Take a look below for some examples. Example Password: 8,7,1,5 Some of the numbers will look wierd, but different. In the example above, the 8 might be a 3 or the 7 might look like a 2. Here are the numbers that will look wierd/alike numbers. The Number 1= 7, 2 The Number 2= 7, 1 The Number 3= 8, 0 The Number 4= 9(possibly, but rare) The Number 5= None The Number 6= None The Number 7= 2, 1 The Number 8= 3, 0 The Number 9= 4(possibly, but rare) The Number 0= None -->Tips 1. Try other numbers and mixing them around according to the different looking ones in this FAQ. Try different combos if you need to. Example: 8,7,5,1 Mix around: 3,7,5,1- 8,2,5,1- 3,2,5,1- 8,7,5,2- Etc. 2. Make sure you have the correct order. If you know its correct, then mix around and try different combos. -The Order If you've tried all possible matches and mixing, it might be the order. Just make sure you inputted the order of the location they're found. Here is the order again. 1. Besaid Village- Behind Shop 2. Below the Save Sphere 3. The Path before the first Waterfall 4. Cliff by the Lagoon. -Other Troubleshoot If you are still having trouble, try Zooming in more on the number and try to figure it out. If you can, play Sphere Break for a while and try to get to know the numbers. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Frequently Asked Questions % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Q1: Is this quest worth completion points?
