Mi'ihen Highroad

The most important thing to remember about the highroad is talk to everyone. Most people will give you items. They include: Hi-Potion, Hunter's Spear, 2 Antidotes, Red Ring, Lv. 1 Key Sphere, 600 gil, 4 Antidotes.

Along the path you'll encounter side areas to the road. You'll often find items here. Along the left side you'll find a strange statue and an old man named Maechen. He can tell you a lot about the highroad.

After that you'll come to a small ruin on the left. Behind the ruin you'll find an Ice Brand. Keep going along the road. Eventually you'll meet the Chocobo Knights. After your meeting with them go into the area to the right to meet Belgemine, another summoner. She challenges Yuna to an aeon battle against her version of Ifrit. If you win you get an Echo Ring. If you lose you get a Seeker's Ring.

After that move on to the next area. In the first left area you'll find a Remedy. When you come upon a blitzball continue up the path to a kid. Talk to him and he'll give you 3 Softs. Then examine the blitzball and talk to the kid again. Now continue to the next screen.

Here go into the first right area to find a chest with 2000 gil. Then continue until you reach the cart. When they pull it off to the left talk to Luzzu and Gatta on the right. Also, there's a man near the cart who will give you an Ether. Afterwards go talk to Shelinda. Then, on your way to the next screen, get the chest with 3 Eye Drops. Here go towards the Travel Agency. After the rest go outside to speak to Yuna.

Back inside talk to the shoppers to get a Lv. 1 Key Sphere. Then save your game and start outside. Rin will stop you and introduce himself. You'll get Al Bhed Primer Vol. VIII and 2 Mega-Potions. Then go outside.

During this battle the Chocobo Eater will try and push your party back towards a cliff. If you fall off the edge you'll lose the battle, the AP, and any rewards from Rin. Instead you need to push the Chocobo Eater back. When the Chocobo Eater is standing upright only piercing weapons and magic can hurt it so use Lulu, Kimahri, and Auron to knock it onto its back. While its down Wakka and Tidus can come in and hurt it. Yuna should heal the party as needed. Also, while the boss is down you can push it backwards by damaging it for over 500 HP. If you can push the Chocobo Eater off the opposite cliff you'll be rewarded with two Lv. 1 Key Spheres.

After the battle if you won you'll receive a free Chocobo ride from Rin. I recommend saving this ride until you get to the other end of the highroad. If you were knocked off the cliff you'll need to make your way up the old road to the mushroom rock gate. This walkthrough assumes that you defeated the Chocobo Eater. After the battle save and head up the road again.

On the second screen you'll have another encounter with Shelinda. Maechen also stands nearby with a history lesson for you. Also, don't miss Al Bhed Primer IX on your way to console Shelinda.

Then continue to the next screen. The chest here contains 2 Hi-Potions. Now talk to the closest person on the right to get your Chocobo ride. Go back along the new road. Go past where you talked to Shelinda and look for a chocobo feather (yellow spot) on the ground. Press X to jump over to a chest with a Heat Lance. Then go back to the other screen and take the lower right branch to the old road.

On the next screen at the base of the hill you'll find another feather on the left. Use it to access 2 chests with a Scout and a Thunder Blade. Now go to the next screen.

After the open area, on your right will be the last feather. Use it to get a Fortune Sphere. Then go to the very end of the road to get the Mars Crest. Now go back to where you got your chocobo.

On your way to the save point you'll meet up with Donna again. After that talk to the guard at the entrance to Mushroom Rock Road. He won't let you pass but he'll tell you about the operation. The guard on the left takes donations:

When you walk away from the gates Maester Seymour will come and let you through.
