Celestial Weapons

This guide will tell you the locations of the celestial weapons and how to fully activate them.

What are Celestial Weapons?

Each character has his or her own celestial weapon, but you can only obtain these weapons if you have a celestial mirror.

To start off with, the sole advantage offered by these weapons is that they can penetrate any armour. Unfortunately, each Celestial weapon also has the no AP ability to overcome this disadvantage youll need a specific crest and sigil.

If you only use one of the two items you will only activate a double overdrive ability without getting rid of the no AP, so best to use both. Also each weapon affects aeons breaking the damage limit for them.

I hope you find this guide helpful and useful if i have made any mistakes please let me know :)

The Celestial Mirror

Now this item is essential if you plan on getting the weapons. Simply put no mirror no items.

To start with you must first win the chocobo race beneath the Remiem Temple in order to get the Cloud Mirror. Iin Macalania Woods, you can then convert the Cloudy Mirror into the Celestial Mirror. Go to the south section of the woods, where you will find a mother and her child. She is waiting for her husband who is loitering around the campsite.

Once you have spoken to him he will rush back to his wife's side. Follow him, and keep on talking to the couple until they realize that their child has wandered off. You will find the boy on a crystal path above Macalania Woods. Talk to the boy and examine the large crystal the mirror will now transform.

The power of each Celestial weapon will be relased once you examine the crystal whilst holding the weapon and associated crest and sigil. This bit is vital! dont forget to go back to the crystal and examine it once you have the weapon + crest and sigil.

Tidus: Caladbolg

Now we begin finding each individuals weapon, crest and sigil. It is important to remember to have the Celestial mirror with you when you go to get the weapons but not for the Crest or Sigil.

In order to find Tidus's Caladbolg you need to heart North-west of the Calm Lands. You will find a guard who is blocking the path towards a downward slope. He will leave each time you win a Catcher Chocobo Race. You can then examine the glyph at the bottom of the slope if you have the Celestial mirror you will then recieve Caladbolg. (Grats)

Sun Crest:
In order to get the Sun Crest you will need to head to Zanarkand Dome - The Beyond. Go down the stairs in the north and you will reach another room containing the sun Crest.

Sun Sigil:
In order to the Sun Sigil you will need to go to the Calm Lands and complete the "Catcher Chocobo Race" in a total time of under zero seconds.

Abilities:
Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Evade & Counter and Magic Counter

Affect on Aeons:

Yuna: Nirvana

In order to get Yuna's Celestial weapon you will need to head to the Calm Lands - Arena. You will need to use a capture weapon to capture one of each of the fiends that is roaming around the Calm Lands. The chest containing the weapon will appear after you have spoken to the owner.

Abilities:
Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Double AP and One MP Cost

Auron: Masamune

If you dont start seeing a trend here then ill keep repeating it. Must have Celestial Mirror for weapon.

In order to get Auron's celestial weapon Masamune you will need to get the Rusty Sword which is found on Gorge Bottom. Once you have that take the rusty sword to the stateo of Lord Mi'ihen on Mushroom Rock Road to the north-east of the turning leading to the Valley. A glyph will appear if you examine the statue. If you now examine the statue this glyph with the celestial mirror you will get Masamune.

Mars Crest:
In order to get this crest go to Mi'ihen Highroad - Oldroad, South

Mars Sigil:
In order to get this sigil go to the Calm Lands - Arena and capture enough monsters to generate a total of ten creatures during the area conquest and/or the Species Conquest in the monster area. (Im sure there will be another guide bout the monster arena if not then im sure ill make one later)

Abilities:
Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, First Strike and Counter-Attack

Effect on aeons:
Break Damage Limit for Yojimbo

Nice little tip aswell the lower HP Auron has the stronger his weapon becomes.

Wakka: World Champion

The location of this celestial weapon is at Luca in the cafe.

Talk to the person behind the counter. In order to get this weapon you must have the Celestial mirror and enjoy blitzball as you will need to have also gained at least third place in the League or a Tournament or have a record of a total of over 100 victories.

Jupiter Crest:
Fly to Luca and head towards the stadium it will be in one of the lockers in the locker room.

Jupiter Sigil:
This one might be take some time. But if you enjoy blitzball then no worries.
Wakka has to learn Attack Reels, Status Reels and Aurochs Reels overdrive techniques.
Attack reels is offered as a prize for a tournament victory.
Once you have attack reels fight 250 battles against fiends then status reels will be offered as a prize for gaining first place in the next league season.
Once you get Status reels fight a further 450 battles against fiends and then Aurochs Reels should be offered as a first place prize for winning a tournament.
After you have all those there will be a 50% chance of it being offered as a first place prize in the next league season. (Best to play current season to last day, save it, win it then see if it is being offered if not then just reload the save and check again)

(If you need help with overdrives im sure someone else will make a guide for it! If not then i will later)

Abilities:
Break damage limit, Triple Overdrive, Double AP and Evade & Counter.

Effect on aeons:
Break damage limit for Ifrit

Kimahri: Spirit Lance

In order to get Kimahri's celestial weapon head to Thunder Plains - South. Once you are there press the "Square" button (unless you have altered your controller keybinds to something else) next to the three glowing Qactuar stones in the Thunder Plains.

You must then find the ghost of a Qactuar hovering in the far south of the Thunder Plains near the save sphere. Follow the ghost until it reaches its destination which is a small ruined tower on the eastern edge of this area. Once there press "Square" again and a treasure chest containing the "Spirit Lance" shall appear :D

Saturn Crest:
You will find this crest at Gagazet - Prominece. (Another easy one)

Venus Crest:
In order to get this Crest head back to Guadosalam and pay another visit to the Farplane where you will find a chest containing it.

@WitcherNerd Nope, you got under. The display doesn't actually show a negative, so it will display 0.00 even though the number is negative. The game uses a comparator like "time<0" for it, which means if you land exact on zero, it's still read as false, even if the display the user gets is no different.

[WitcherNerd]

I got sun sigil in exact 000 seconds. I posted screen shot to prove I have 000 record.

[WitcherNerd]

I got the Sun Sigil in 0.00 seconds exact, but not under.

[Bwonsamdi the Dead]

There's a way to get the Dark Aeons to leave if you go to Maester Mika?

[GrayFarron]

Rikku crest is in East, not central.

[[PKKA]Tovarish ToNy]

I had every celestial weapon except Lulu's and Kimahri's on the PS2 verison and now I forgot about the getting the celestial mirror until I tried it out. Playing Blitzball right now where you have to fire all the original aurochs and replace them with various people.

[Junkyard Cat]

Good luck getting the Saturn Sigil. The hitboxes on the butterflies in the mini-game are retardedly bad. Getting around the red butterflies in the east area is next to impossible. You can be about 5 feet from a certain few butterflies and it will still trigger the red butterfly... So poorly designed

[Tyrax Lightning]

Oh, also i'm scared to death of going to Maester Mika cause i'm scared he might call off the Dark Aeons or something else that could screw me outta any chance to kill the Dark Aeons & miss out on penance. I'm also scared to death of Clicking on "Highbridge" on the Airship Destination List cause I dunno if that's the 1 way path to the End of the Game...

[Tyrax Lightning]

Many thanks for the response. :)

In hindsight, perhaps I shoulda mentioned that at my curent point of the game i'm after defeating Yunalesca, but before the point where I could ever stand a chance of challenging Dark Ixion so I have to avoid that certain guy that'll sick Dark Ixion on me if I dare talk to him.

I've never seen a Qactuar all game thus far after clicking on every Qactuar Stone i've found thus far... even when running around with Encounter Frequency set to Frequent. Could Dark Ixion be blocking them? *Wonders if I should seriously consider schmoozing it up HARD with my Yojimbo & try to beg a Anti-Dark Ixion Zanmato outta him...*

[Sinister]

Hey Tyrax :D The Qactaur will spawn once youve touched the first stone. If you head to the very first save sphere with the chest containing the two pheonix downs then proceed onwards if you stay to the left youll eventually run into another two chests the first stone should be there.

The second stone should be located near Shelinda and the Water Ball weapon in a bay in the east again youd need to activate the stone not examine. IIRC there should be a few move Qactuar stones in Thunder Plains North near the western side.

If you are still having troubles just friend me and ill see if i can help you more from there :)
