* '''Chimeras''' are a new species of fiend. They have a little over 5200 HP, and they can hurt if you're not careful. Use Dark Attack, Silence Attack and Magic Break and they're easy from there. Avoid using Fire or Water-based attacks since they're resistant to them (Kimahri can learn Aqua Breath from these with Lancet). For the time they take to kill they're annoyingly common | * '''Chimeras''' are a new species of fiend. They have a little over 5200 HP, and they can hurt if you're not careful.

This battle initially seems difficult because of how elemental magic gets absorbed most of the time and physical attacks do barely anything to it. Lulu will be a key member of this battle, so get her out, and have Tidus use Haste on her. Lulu should cast a random magic spell on it, it will absorb the damage (probably) and it will counter with one of the base-level elemental black magic spells (either Fire, Water, Blizzard or Thunder) on everyone. This will trigger Lulu to tell you what's up — it absorbs all spells except the one it's currently weak to. If it's using Water spells, then you would naturally think that it's weak to Thunder, right? So use Thundara on it — it'll do quite a bit of damage. However, it counters spells it's weak to with Elemental Shift, which changes the element it counters with and also the element it's weak against. Always make sure you use a physical attack to determine its element, since it'll absorb magic and its spell counter-attack will hit everyone rather than just one person. If you have Kimahri learn Lulu's magic on the sphere grid, it will help defeat Spherimorph in about 6 to 8 turns, along with Auron using power break and magic break. | This battle initially seems difficult because of how elemental magic gets absorbed most of the time and physical attacks do barely anything to it.

It also has two attacks outside of this — a slamming attack which does about 200 to one person, and Press, it's only really dangerous attack which will damage everyone | It also has two attacks outside of this — a slamming attack which does about 200 to one person, and Press, it's only really dangerous attack which will do about 650-750 damage to everyone. Have Auron use Magic and Power Break (it's susceptible to both) then switch Yuna in and have her cast the appropriate Nul spell to help reduce the damage you take from using attacks to determine its element. Use a Mega-Potion to heal up after a Press, or Cure/Cura. This will take a while given that Lulu's the only one who can inflict any real damage. Afterwards, you'll get quite a bit of AP, a Level 2 Key Sphere (2 of them if you overkill it) and some random gear. Auron will also learn his next Overdrive, Shooting Star! | ||
At this point you should also consider taking the long trip back to Besaid to retrieve the Jecht Sphere to the right of Besaids temple, as it will not be possible to safely return to Besaid without facing off against Dark Valefor after the events at Macalania Temple. | At this point you should also consider taking the long trip back to Besaid to retrieve the Jecht Sphere to the right of Besaids temple, as it will not be possible to safely return to Besaid without facing off against Dark Valefor after the events at Macalania Temple. | ||

Follow the arrow out of this area and then out of the woods. You'll be by the Lake Macalania branch of Rin's Travel Agency. Head along, and before you go inside pick up the '''Al Bhed Primer XVI'''.

When he asks, say Chocobo Breeder — this will allow you to get a '''Friend Sphere''' from the chest behind him later on in the game, but you'll get nothing if you say Chocobo Knight. Talk to O'aka as well and say "Of course!" when he asks if you'd actually buy something from him. Buy the Soldier's Targe for Rikku and the Serum Ring for Yuna, and equip them. | ||

Save inside Rin's Agency, and then head out and down to the lake for a couple of sequences. Looks like the Al Bhed aren't quite finished here. | Save inside Rin's Agency, and then head out and down to the lake for a couple of sequences. Looks like the Al Bhed aren't quite finished here. |
