The following events and items you can find on Mushroom Rock Road will depend on which faction you gave the stolen sphere to. If you gave the sphere to the Youth League, you are able to pass through the area with a warm welcome. If you gave the sphere to New Yevon, there will be an extra mission in which you have to fight the Youth League members.

Speak to the man near the hover to learn that the Leblanc Syndicate has been spotted on the Djose Highroad. This information helps you discover where one of the needed uniforms are. You can follow his advice now or wait and complete Mushroom Rock Road first. Head north to the statue of Mi'ihen to collect two chests with a Hi-Potion and 1500 Gil. Now back track to the entrance point of Mushroom Rock and speak to Yaibal. The conversation will depend on who you gave the sphere to.

If sphere was given to the Youth League[edit]

If you gave the sphere to the Youth League, as you travel down the road, some of their soldiers will help you out. They will travel with you and the closer you are to them, the less frequency of battles you will have to fight. They will also let you know about the sleeping Ochus. Walks slowly past and avoid them if you don't want to fight them, touch them if you would like to.

Near the entrance to the ravine, you will receive a transmission from Buddy aboard the Celsius regarding some sphere waves he is picking up. Drop down into the ravine and head to the Den of Woe, collecting a Turbo Ether x2, Phoenix Down, and Ether along the way. Save at the Save Sphere if you like and head toward the cave. You will encounter Nooj. He is on friendly terms with you since you did give the stolen sphere to his group. He asks that the Gullwings help him find the other spheres to open the door to the cave, handing over the Crimson Sphere 7.

Exit the Den and out of the ravine. Travel on to the Youth League Headquarters. Before taking the elevator up to the headquarters, collect the Shining Bracer found in the chest to the left side of the lift.

Once you are in the headquarters area, head to the right and down to a secret ledge to open a chest for a Mythril Bangle. Then head toward the large building and talk to Elma and Lucil.

If sphere was given to New Yevon[edit]

If you gave the sphere to New Yevon, entering Mushroom Rock Road will trigger an extra mission. The guards that would have been helpful to you are now angry with you and will battle you. They will not warn you about the Ochus either and the conversations with them will be rather hostile. All the items along the road before taking the lift up to the headquarters will be the same. You can even talk to Nooj in the Den of Woe and he will still hand over the Crimson Sphere 7, he just won't be as happy about it. When you reach the main lift, Elma and some warriors will be there waiting to combat you.

Elma[edit]

Elma
HP: 1640 MP: 450
EXP: 200 AP: 2
Gil Dropped: 120 Pilfer Gil: 180
Steal: Normal - Hi-Potion; Rare - Grenade x2
Drop: Normal - Hi-Potion; Rare - Grenade x2
League Warrior x2
HP: 422 MP: 26
EXP: 70 AP: 1
Gil Dropped: 120 Pilfer Gil: 180
Steal: Normal - Hi-Potion; Rare - Grenade x2
Drop: Normal - Hi-Potion; Rare - Grenade x2

The battle against Elma and the League Warriors is rather simple and doesn't take much strategy. The warriors will go down after a few hits. Take them out first. Elma will cast Haste on herself so her attacks will be quick. Counter this by putting her to sleep with a Songstress. Use a Thief to Steal and Pilfer Gil if you desire and then just attack. It won't take you long to take her out.

Take the lift up to the headquarter area. The extra mission will end and you will be rewarded with a Kinesis Badge and The Shining Mirror Garment Grid. You will then not be allowed any further into the headquarters.

After either choice[edit]

After you have visited the headquarters, no matter who you gave the sphere to, return to the Celsius. Speak with Shinra and watch the Crimson Record 7 for some completion points. Then head back down to either Mushroom Rock or Djose Temple to continue on to Djose Highroad.
