Game Play:

So here we are a Vanille and Sazh again. There aren’t any spheres in the first area to grab so just move towards the markers on the maps. Watch the Cut scene. From where we start go down the path and take a right. After the next cut scene move on into the park, there is a save point near by if you wish to use it. And at some point in all of this use the CP you’ve earned in the Crystarium. Try aiming for Renew and/or raise with Vanille’s medic and unlock Haste in Sazh’s Synergist. Now take the first pod you come to and travel to the Park proper.

There are a few spheres in the area to get. At the end of the very last arrival thing there is a sphere by a chocobo to grab before moving on. Here you get to hunt down the Chick, check the group of sheep looking things dead in front of you first, then the toy stand, then over the fountain in the tower thing, then in a group of chocobos. If you mange to hunt down the little bugger you get a sphere. Yay for us!

Anyway keep going past the save point towards the Mall and the next map marker. Oh look a cut scene. As you zig and zag around the area there are 3 spheres to pick up. One along the way and the 2, one to the far ends of the paths near the save point.

Side note:

there is a group of Zweg Metrodroids around a sphere, in the Clock Tower area. You can take these for about 640CP a pop. If you want to make these re-spawn, all you have to do is run back back and forth between the mall area sphere and run back.

Boss Fight

OK so start Use Libra on this guy to find his weakness. Then cast Haste, faith, bravery and Enfrost on the party, and let Vanille hinder the guy. Use Dual casting and slash and burn to stagger the mech quickly. Heal when needed and just kick basic butt. This guy’s got an attack called Nerve Gas that inflicts poison but this isn’t a big deal.

After the battle you get your 1500 cp and motherlode., but right after you get thrown into and Eidolon battle. So yeah, anyway, after the cut scene follow Vanille. Watch yet another cut scene then get ready to fight another Eidolon.

Eidolon Battle- Brynhildr

Keep with Tide turner in this one too, and be sure to have Haste and Vigilance always on your characters. Remember Haste then Vigilance in that order at all times. Ok now switch to War and Peace to heal cause you probably will need to at this point and then use Dualcasting to drive the Eidolon’s chain gauge. Switch as needed between the two to get this guy under control in about 2 to 3 minutes. Good Luck! Hit square as soon as it comes on the screen and you’ve got yourself another summons. Sazh gets another ATB gauge segment.

Watch the cut scene and save when prompted.
