A Journey’s Catalyst¶
Trophy Type : Silver
Official Description : “View ‘Eternal Calm’”
Personal Elaboration : It’s a plot cutscene - you’ll get there!
A Talent for Acquisition :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description: “Steal successfully with Rikku 200 times”
Personal Elaboration : Nothing but a grinding thing. Stealing from the machina in the Bikanel Desert can be nice to grind up Al Bhed Potions and a small bit of EXP., though, since machina are regularly found there and are killed by Steal. (The same goes for Mt. Gagazet, but machina are found less regularly there.)
All Together :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “All party members come together”
Personal Elaboration : Basically a part of the plot; it’ll happen not long after crossing the Moonflow.
Blitzball Master :
Trophy Type : Silver
Official Description : “Unlock all slot reels”
Personal Elaboration : It refers to Wakka’s Overdrives - see Wakka - Slots for more.
Chocobo License :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Pass all chocobo training”
Personal Elaboration : Spekaing about the Chocobo Trainer in the Calm Lands.
Chocobo Master :
Trophy Type : Silver
Official Description : “Get 5 treasure chests during the Chocobo Race at Remiem Temple and win the race”
Personal Elaboration : It’s just practice, really.
Chocobo Rider :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Win a race with a catcher chocobo with a total time of 0:0.0”
Personal Elaboration : This relates to the Chocobo Training in the Calm Lands. Winning that final race is nothing I can guide you through, other than to say to hit a LOT of balloons.
Completion :
Trophy Type : Platinum
Official Description : “Obtain all available trophies”
Personal Elaboration : If you want to get technical about it, it implies all other available trophies. Those playing the X/X-2 HD Remaster (where you have both games together on one disc or whatever) will probably want to note that this only applies to FFX HD trophies.
Delta Attack!:
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Obtain Magus Sisters”
Personal Elaboration : See the Remiem Temple (in full) section for how.
Feel the Pain :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Obtain Anima”
Personal Elaboration : See the Baaj Temple section for how
Heartstrings :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “View the ‘Underwater Date’ scene”
Personal Elaboration: This is a plot cutscene you’ll see automatically as you go through the game.
I t’s All About the Money :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Obtain Yojimbo”
Personal Elaboration : See the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth section for how.
Learning! :
Trophy Type : Silver
Official Description : “Learn to use all enemy abilities”
Personal Elaboration : This refers to Kimahri’s Ronso Rage Overdrives - see Kimahri - Ronso Rage for details.
Lightning Dancer:
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Dodge 200 lightning strikes and obtain the reward”
Personal Elaboration : It is referring to you essentially getting the Venus Sigil from the Thunder Plains. The Lightning Dodging section sums it up.
Master Linguist :
Trophy Type : Gold
Official Description : “Find all 26 Al Bhed Primers”
Personal Elaboration : See the Al Bhed Guide for some help on this.
Mega Strike :
Trophy Type : Silver
Official Description : “Deal 99,999 damage with one attack”
Personal Elaboration : If you need to do this, then you can do some of the following… Get Strength as high as you can get it (255 is the best, but maybe 100~150 will suffice), use Cheer five times during the battle, and inflict the enemy with Armor Break. Also be sure to fight a weak enemy, like those on Besaid Island or something. Using Auron is a good idea, since his Masamune Celestial Weapon has an HP-based damage modifier; generally, if his HP is at 1, you can expect to deal at least double damage. Strength +20% as an ability will also help, and the Break Damage Limit ability is required. Whether multi-hit attacks (such as Blitz Ace and Attack Reels) work is unknown to me: like, for example, nine attacks hitting for 12,000 damage summing to 108,000. Single-hit OVerdrives should work, though, such as Tidus’s Spiral Cut. You can also use Anima or Bahamut once your parameters are high enough.
Messenger from the Past :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Obtain all Jecht Spheres”
Personal Elaboration : See Auron’s Special Spheres for the details.
Overcoming the Nemesis :
Trophy Type : Gold
Official Description : “Defeat Nemesis”
Personal Elaboration : See the Monster Arena section if you have no idea what this means; see Nemesis if you need an actual strategy.
Overcoming the Past :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Defeat Yunalesca”
Personal Elaboration : She is a forced boss you’ll go through close to the end of the game’s plot.
Perfect Sphere Master :
Trophy Type : Gold
Official Description : “Complete the Sphere Grid for all main characters”
Personal Elaboration : Basically, it just takes a lot of AP for everyone - see AP Grinding for some help there.
Perserverance:
Trophy Type : Gold
Official Description : “Defeat Penance”
Personal Elaboration : See the The Dark Aeons section for a general idea of the quest leading up to Penance, if you don’t understand what Penance is about. If you simply need a strategy, see Penance.
Power Strike:
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Do 9,999 damage or more in a single attack”
Personal Elaboration: Essentially, just build up your Strength and do an Overdrive of some sort. You can also inflict more damage by putting Armor Break on the enemy, using Cheer five times, putting Strength +20% on your weapon, purposefully fighting a weak enemy, using Elemental Strike abilities, and the like. Using Auron’s Masamune Celestial Weapon is also good when he’s under 10% HP since the damage multiplier is over 2.0x then.
Show Off! :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description: “Win a blitzball tournament”
Personal Elaboration : See the Blitzball section for details.
Speaking in Tongues :

Personal Elaboration : There are 26 in all, most being quite easy to find; see the Al Bhed Guide for more.
Sphere Master :
Trophy Type : Silver
Official Description : “Complete a Sphere Grid for one character”
Personal Elaboration : It’s a lot of AP grinding, really. Conveniently, see AP Grinding. =P
Striker :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Learn the Jecht Shot”
Personal Elaboration : On the deck of the SS Winno, you can examine the Blitzball and engage in a simple minigame where you use the D-Pad and X to “hit” the messages. This is first done when you head from Kilika to Luca. After that, you’ll need to get the airship before you can do it again.
Summon Master :
Trophy Type : Silver
Official Description : “Obtain all Aeons”
Personal Elaboration : There are five that are obtained automatically throughout the plot: Valefor, Ifrit, Ixion, Shiva, and Bahamut. Three more are optional, but required for the purpose of this Trophy. Yojimbo can be found at the end of the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth. For Anima, you’ll have to get the airship and head to Baaj Temple - some details are in that section. Finally, the Magus Sisters will be the last you get; read the Remiem Temple (in full) section for more on that.
Teamwork !:
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Win a blitzball match”
Personal Elaboration : See the Blitzball section for details.

Personal Elaboration : Simply a part of the game you’ll go through.
Theater Enthusiast:
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Buy every sphere at the Luca Theater”
Personal Elaboration : You know that square in Luca with the café where you first met some of Kimahri’s “old friends”? There’s an area just off of there called the Sphere Theater where you can buy spheres to view most scenes and listen to most music in the game. You will probably have to wait until the end of the game to finish this, though. In any case, if you need the Gil, see the Gil Grinding section for more.
Under the Table :
Trophy Type : Bronze
Official Description : “Spend 100,000 Gil or more in bribes”
Personal Elaboration : If you need Gil, see the Gil Grinding section. To those who haven’t done The Omega Ruins- Ultima Weapon is great for bribing, both in terms of skipping a nasty boss if underleveled, one-Bribing this Trophy, and getting 99 Pendulums.
Weapon Master:
Trophy Type : Silver
Official Description : “Obtain all Celestial Weapons”
Personal Elaboration : For this, you only need to obtain the Celestial Weapons; see the The Celestial Weapons section for further details on that. It’s a lot easier than having to fully upgrade them, trust me. … So many Chocobo races.
