Winning the
Sphere
Contents of
the Sphere
The following has been tested by myself, and proved profitable. If you do not
win Gippal's Sphere, chances are I probably can't help you other than say you
must have skipped a step by accident.
Chapter One: Not a lot to do in this chapter. Make sure you
walk down the Mi'ihen Highroad from Luca. Shortly before the end there
will be a nook to the right hand side. An Al Bhed technician will be standing in
here with a few small machina at her feet. When you speak to her, she'll ask
that you please don't report what you see.
Chapter Two: Participate in the "Cuckoo for Chocobos" mission, and be
sure to win. Return to Mi'ihen via the airship and walk inside the agency. You
should see Rin walk by and exit the building. Make sure you invite Calli onto
the airship with you.
Chapter Three: Participate in the "Machina Mayhem" mission. Defeat
at least seven of the malfunctioning machina. If you do not decommission
at least seven you can kiss Gippal's Sphere goodbye. If you do, however, you
should see Rin standing in the crowd at the end. He'll be near the back with his
arms crossed and his head down.
CRUCIAL IN CHAPTER THREE: Return to the area and walk down the
Highroad from the agency to Mushroom Rock. Look for Shinra along the road, and
be sure to speak to him. He'll say that he's installing a CommSphere in
an unusual location. Hmmmm...
Chapter Four: This is where the hardest part of the setup takes place,
but it's also the last bit of work you'll have to do. Ring into Mi'ihen via the
CommSpheres. Rin will ask you to help with the mystery. Be sure to
accept. Follow the below order of cameras and scenes exactly:
Cam7: You will see Rin, an Al Bhed woman, and lots of machina. Call
for Rin, who will then comment on not knowing of the CommSphere being installed
there. You should get an Investigation Level Up here. Rin will say, "It seems
we are getting to the heart of the matter.
Cam1: Watch for the Chocobo Eater, who will arrive in the scene
chasing a bird. Make sure to call Rin immediately. You should get an Investigation Level Up here. Rin will say, "It seems
we are getting to the heart of the matter.
Cam5: Call for Rin. He'll examine the hover. IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE SPHERES. If you view anything else YOU WILL
RUIN ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.
Congratulations! You've finished the Chapter Four work. Time to get to
Chapter Five.
Chapter Five: Visit Mi'ihen to discover the culprit. If it's Rin, you
will win Gippal's sphere!
Here's what you'll win...
Cam5: Wait to call Rin until you see a single chocobo feather
fall down. Make sure you're watching carefully so you don't miss it! Rin will
keep the evidence.
Cam4: Watch the crowd for a second, then call Rin.
He'll talk about how something must have fallen into the ravine, then
leave.
Cam2: The Chocobo Eater will walk in and examine the console
behind the Travel Agency. Call for Rin immediately.
Cam8: Watch the
Prophet closely. Eventually the Chocobo Eater will come into the scene and begin
'chatting' with him. Call for Rin, who will talk about how Prophet is
enlightening the fiend. Riiiight...
Cam5: Wait for
three machinas to appear. Call for Rin, who will find a person in the
wreckage.
Cam2: Prophet's little female cohort will appear around the
back of the Travel Agency. Call for Rin, who will ask if she needs some help.
She'll quickly run off. (because that doesn't look guilty at all, I
guess.)
Cam3: An Al Bhed will begin talking to Prophet inside the
ruins. It may be a little hard to see, but watch closely. Call for Rin, and
he'll mention they must be making a deal.
Cam6: Two guys will be
talking. Wait for Prophet to appear and begin talking to them. Call for Rin, who
will say Prophet is making a deal with gil.
Cam1:
Immediately switch right back to Cam5.
Cam5: Be
patient here. After a bit, the sphere will break, and Yuna will comment on the
problem.
Cam4: You'll see Rin near the hover acting quite
suspiciously. Yuna will comment. You should call for Rin after she does so.
He'll run up, but leave shortly after saying he has some business to attend
to.
Cam7: Wait for TEN SECONDS. Call for Rin.
Cam1:
Immediately switch right back to Cam7.

Cam7.
Cam7: Wait for TEN SECONDS. Call for Rin. This
time he won't come back, and you'll hear a short conversation between Shinra and
Yuna, who suspect he's mad at them.
