Getting mad, need help..

[My_car_is_faster_than_you]

So, I've recently been a victim of some sort of glitch (see thread "Tidus Celestial Weapon glitch?") and have to the race for the Sigil again. Well, I can't get it! Stupid race is so difficult that I get even get close! I mean, tell me if I'm not the only one with these problems.

One, the trainer starts one step ahead of you, so you can't get the first 4 or 5 balloons on the path.

Two, your chocobo doesn't do what you tell it. I push left, he goes straight. I push right he turns left. I don't do anything, and he goes right.

Three, whenever a bird appears, my chocobo automatically aligns itself with it's flight path, and almost all the time hits it. So, bird hits at the end of the race is always like 7 or 8.

I mean, the first race wasn't this hard, but now, it's seems impossble. Are there any suggestions? Is there a way to train the chocobo again so that it will go where I tell it? Help!! I'm stuck.

I'm sure there's already a thread on this somewhere......

[My_car_is_faster_than_you]

Sorry, but does anyone know which thread it is? I can't seem to find it.

[jammi567]

It will be in the second stickied thread from the top.

Dodge the birds and get the balloons? Isn't there some better advice for this?

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

ok getting less than zero isn't really that hard. i did it on my 3rd attempt this time round. just follow these tips

1. the balloons at the start have to be lined up on the right so that u can grab them all. this is pretty much down to luck

2. wen controllin, don't hold forward as the chocobo will run forward on its own, just use left n rite. its easier that way

3. for the 2nd bit, if ur behind the trainer take the path that she hasn't (i.e if she's gone left then go right) if ur in front of her choose the path with the most balloons

4. only go for a balloon if u r 100% certain u won't hit a bird in the process. wen a bird hits u u stop for like 2 secs so u actually lose 5 secs

5. if u get hit by more than one bird, u aint gonna do it, so just hed for the finish line if u do.

6. for the 2nd bit the same applies. take the route she hasn't or pick the one with the most.

u shud end up with a time of around 35-ish. so u'll only need 12 balloons. it easy to get up to 16 so u can probably hit 2 birds at a push but no more.

Yea you think your getting mad. I'm going up and down Gagazet trying to find a sphere that just isn't here. I'm down right ready to put a brick through my tv. lol

[Enjolras]

Whats the Sphere you're looking for?

[jhmassi]

Braskas sphere the one that is suposedly on Gagazet I found it once (by accident I'm starting to think) I've been up and down that mountain enough times to collrct every type of monster (I think). Right now I'm exploring the inered part of the mountain. after that I'm going back to the the staduim in the calm lands see what I have left to collect.

There is a sphere on Gagazet. It's right near the beginning after the first statue. You go left past the statue and there is a norhtward ledge that goes opposite the path you have to take to advance over the mountain. At the end of the ledge is the sphere. Maybe you've already collected it, and you are mistaking it for another one? It's not difficult to find.

hmm uh no I don't think so if I did than wouldn't Auron have the last of his over drives. I'm on my out to check it out I will let you know what I find

I just checked out the first ledge didn't see anything moving on to ledge 2...if any on this screen

Just to make sure, it's not really a ledge, but more of an alcove. On the map, it goes up away from the main path and hooks to the right.

Seriously, though, you may already have it. Perhaps you should check back around Spira to make sure you have the others. Did you get the one onboard the S.S. Liki?

Finally got it, again. It took me 2 weeks a hour or so a day to finally do it. I'm an idiot I know.

hmm yea now that I think about it i think I did grab it on the first run though. There was one at the temple of baja I think it was the temple in the farplane there is a shpere there that when ever I try to pick it up I get the race message.

So basically the advice is to do the whole run through again huh lol okay then I will probably get a few more steps on the gride
