Final Fantasy X-2
Cheat Codes/Hints
Quick Health Restore
Whenever your party is low on health or MP, just go to a Save Sphere, hit X and then choose "cancel." Your party's health and MP will be full without actually having to save.
Rescue Tourists Sidequest
In Chapter 3, go to the gorge in the Calm Lands, and do the Rescue Tourists Sidequest. One of the tourists (the guy running past you towards the entrance) will have the Besaid Key. This key allows you to open the chest in Besaid Temple and get a Search Sphere. Also, when you see the two children run to the right, go to the left. Examine the small area and you will find a tourist hiding unseen. You need to rescue him to be able to warp to the first Hidden Chamber. And when you're fighting Yojimbo, have a Mega-Potion ready to use. His Zanmato attack will drop your entire party's HP and MP to 1. Have Yuna or Rikku in Gunner. Trigger Happy LV3 will buy you some time for the others to take action.
Secret scene
Get to the scene after Djose temple where Yuna falls into the gaping hole and ends up on the farplane. First, she meets Shuin. Later, Shuin goes away and then the three main leaders of New Yevon, Youth Alliance, and Al Bhed appear. After they give Yuna a couple of Akagi Spheres, the scene will change. Suddenly Yuna will be in a black room with a spotlight on her. In this scene, you can walk around the dark room for a few seconds. If you continuously press Circle during that time, you will be presented with a secret scene. It is called "The Whistling Scene", and you will see Yuna scream then hear a faint whistle. She looks over to see a shadow of Tidus. She will then run after Tidus and follow him along a path until he disappears and she returns to the airship. Remember, do not stop pressing Circle button until you are sure the scene has finished. Note: You need to do this secret scene to get the "perfect ending".
Skip intermission sequences
Pause game play during an intermission sequence, then press Square to skip the current scene.
Story level 2: Easy money
Clear off O'aka's debts by buying 100,000 gil worth of items from him on the airship. After you have cleared the debt, O'aka will start selling you items very cheap. Buy 99 of the items he sells, then fly to another location and sell them at over twice what you bought them for. For example, buy 99 High Potions from him for 50 gil each (total cost of 4950 gil). Then, fly to the Calm Lands and sell the High Potions for 125 gil each, for a total of 12375 gil. That is a quick profit of 7425 gil.
Story level 5: Defeating Anima
All he does is attack and Pain. If you cannot defeat him by healing and hacking, level up and try again.
Story level 5: Defeating Shiva
At the beginning of story level 5, talk to Rikku's brother. He will ask you five things. Choose the first option twice and you will go to a hole inside Shiva's temple. Keep going down and you will find Shiva. She is quite weak, but there is one thing she can do. She will use Heavenly Strike on you. When that happens, your character will be frozen and will not be able to move for about four turns. Try to level up a lot and use Haste because she is very fast. Have someone cast Shell and Protect so that the damage will be reduced. When that is done, keep hacking at her until she dies.
Story level 5: Defeating the Magus Sisters
Focus all your attacks at the little one first, because she has the lowest HP. If you kill her first, then they will not be able to perform their Overdrive. Next, go after the tall one since she has a strong attack. Do not forget to cast Shell and protect on yourself. Just keep hitting them until they die. To defeat them easily, level up and have a high HP. Then, focus your attacks on the fatter sister so they cannot use Delta Attack. As long as she is alive, they can use that attack. Then, attack the taller one. Heal if necessary. Finally, attack the smaller one. It may be difficult, but it is effective.
