You thought that was bad. I dreaded the one at the temple! @_@

I think (not positive about it) that beating it will give you percentage points. Also try to switch from the decision of giving the sphere to either New Yevon and Youth League to see different parts of the game but a chance for more percentage points.

To beat the gauntlet be sure to not let the monsters hit you thus keeping a chain to get more points to 500. I personally was able to get about 900 by the 5th time.
