MY WAY OR THE HIGHROAD

  Many people travel the Mi'ihen Highroad, and they are all very supportive
of summoners and their guardians. Items to gain by speaking to travelers
along the way include: a Hi-Potion, a Hunter's Sphere, two Antidotes, a
Lv. 1 Key Sphere, four more Antidotes, a Red Ring, and 600 Gil.

  On the left side of the road is a historian named Maechen, who can tell you
about the Highroad and Lord Mi'ihen. Continue up the left side to the ruins of    
a small tower, where the old man makes a formal introduction. There is an
Al Bhed message inside the ancient ruins, and an Ice Brand in the treasure
chest behind the ruins.

BELGIMINE

  To win, either Yuna or Valefor should be in Overdrive mode when the battle
begins. Belgemine summons Ifrit, leaving Yuna to summon Valefor. Quickly
perform Energy Ray, and then take note of Ifrit's attack pattern. It will
perform a regular attack, followed by Meteor Strike. Before each Meteor-
Strike, press the right directional button to use Valefor's Shield to deflect
some of the damage. Ifrit is immune to the delay effect of Valefor's Sonic-
Wings, so either attack or cast Blizzard at the opposing aeon.

  By winning this battle, Yuna receives an Echo Ring. If you lose, she gets
a less useful Seeker's Ring.

THE SECOND STRETCH

  When the Crusaders park their wagon on the left, talk to the trembling man
nearby for an Ether. Go talk to Luzzu and Gatta. After meeting Shelinda,
proceed to the last treasure chest on this part of the Highroad. There are three
Eye Drops inside it.

MR. RIN'S TRAVEL AGENCY

  As you start to leave, Rin introduces himself and gives Tidus the Al Bhed-
Primer vol. VIII. When the trouble with the chocobos begins, he also
supplies two Mega-Potions. Go outside and run north toward the chocobo
corrals to see what all the fuss is about.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE STRUGGLE

  If the characters are victorious, Rin offers one complimentary ride on a
chocobo. It is a wise idea to go back inside and save your game first.

TO THE GATES OF MUSHROOM ROCK

  The area outside the gates of Mushroom Rock is fiend free. There sphere
monitor to the left of the gates contains combat lessons on Funguars,
Garudas, and Basilisks. The chocobo handler is near the sinspawn cages
on the right side, and you can ride a chocobo for free if you defeated
the Chocobo Eater.

  Donna and guardian can't get through the gates, and you won't have any
better luck until you explore the old Highroad section. Hop on a chocobo
and ride southeast to the old Highroad.

CHOCOBO RIDING

  Continuing into the gorge, speak to Lucil of the Chocobo Knights. Continue
south past her and look for a small alcove on the east side of the passage.
Position the chocobo at the bottom of the rocks and press X/A to hop up to
the ledge above. After the chocobo finds Fortune Sphere and trots back
down to the ground, continue south to find O'aka next to a Save Sphere. The
Mars Crest is at the very bottom of the area.

OPERATION MI'IHEN

  The guard on the left will accept donations for the cause. If you donate
100 Gil, you get a Scout in appreciation. For 1,000 Gil, the gurd will give
you Yuna's Moon Ring. Head away from the gates until Maester Seymour
approaches. The powerful Yevon leader gets Yuna and her group entry into
Mushroom Rock. Follow him inside when you're ready.

MUSHROOM ROCK

  Past the next Save Sphere, a guard hands over a Hi-Potion for luck. Next,
step on the platform bearing the Yevon symbol, and press X/A to rise to the
level above. Continue north until you spot a guard next to a treasure chest.
The chest holds 1,000 Gil, and the guard gives you ten Potions!

  Move around the chasm and collect the Remedy nearby. If you need healing,
talk to Shelinda. Continue up the path to find a Hi-Potion partially hidden
behind a rock. You may notice a lower area on the map, but you cannot
reach it at this time.

  Ride the next Yevon platform up to the high ridge. Take the path leading
west off the main path to access another Yevon platform. Ride it down to
the small area below to find a Serene Armlet. When back on top, return
to the main path and ride the last platform up to the highest ridge.

  Talk to the guard posted next to the machina platform to receive a Mega-
Potion and Serene Bracer. When you're ready to fight, speak to the man
whose position is marked on the map by a red arrow.
