LAND OF LIGHTNING

  Be prepared to dodge lightning in this area. Head to the left side of the
area to collect two Phoenix Downs from a treasure chest, then make a
beeline for the closest lightning tower for safety.

  Most enemies in this region are lightning-based, so equip your party members
with weapons that bear the Waterstrike ability. Due to the frequency of random
battles and quantity of Save Spheres in the area, this is a great place to spend
some time leveling up. Items are scattered across the north and south regions
of the area.

- QACTUAR -
  One fiend to watch out for is the Qactuar. Its
1,000 Needles counterattack can kill some of your less
developed characters. The easiest way to eliminate
a Qactuar is to summon an aeon. Any aeon's regular
attacks should be able to defeat a Qactuar with one
hit. Each Qactuar is worth 525 AP, so it's
definitely worth the effort.

- QACTUAR STONES -
  There are glowing stones engraved with Qactuars
situated throughout the Thunder Plains. A book at the
local Travel Agency explains what they are. They are
the key to gaining Kimahri's ultimate weapon.

REST STOP

  There is a Travel Agency in the middle section of the Thunder Plains. Inside,
a book on the counter tells the story behind the Qactuar stones. Another book
on the table to the right indicates the number of times you've eluded
lightning strikes.

- DODGING LIGHTNING STRIKES -
  Prizes are awarded for dodging lightning strikes.
After spending some time on the Thunder Plains, return
to the Travel Agency and examine the treasure chest
out front. The item you receive depends upon the number
of times you've dodged lightning strikes.

  The Al Bhed Primer vol. XIV is also here. To get it, speak to Rikku. After
doing so, Rin emerges from the corridor and asks how your study of Al Bhed
is coming along. Choose the top topion, and he will hand over the
Al Bhed Primer vol. XIV.

YUNA'S RETREAT

  Follow Yuna into the corridor and Tidus will accidentally stumble into her
room. When you're ready, exit the Travel Agency.

BACK ON THE RUN

  Once back outside, continue north through the plains. Check the ground
outside the Travel Agency to find a Yellow Shield. Equip this on Tidus
to nullify lightning damage.

  Later, Yuna suddenly arrives at an important decision. After hearing her
out, search behind the structure for an Ether. There are a few more
treasure chests to open as you head north to Macalania.
