Complete walkthrough for Bikanel Island in Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster. Find items, defeat enemies like Zu and Sand Worm, and collect Al Bhed Primers.
Walkthrough
- 1Oasis: Swim to the southwestern corner of the pond for four Remedy Items. Use the Save Sphere. Run north to encounter a scripted battle against a Zu, joined by Auron and Lulu under certain conditions. After the battle, find Wakka to the north and open the chest next to his location for eight Al Bhed Potions.
- 2Sanubia Desert East: This area has random encounters. Alcyone is weak to Fire. Mech Guard can be instantly defeated by Stealing, but yields no Overkill; they are weak to Lightning. Mushussu is weak to Ice. Sand Wolf is weak to Fire and Ice. Cactuar is immune to Sleep; use unblockable attacks. Zu is weak to Darkness, Slow, and Poison; ground it when its wings glow. Sand Worm has high HP (45,000); use Poison, Shadow Gems, or Demi. It swallows characters after ten hits and regurgitates them after five more. Inflict Darkness if needed; weak to Ice and Water. Stealing from most enemies yields good items, except Mech Guard. Zu is a good source of Smoke Bombs.
- 3Sanubia Desert East - Navigation: From the start, go east to find Kimahri and potentially Al Bhed Primer V. Go west, follow the dunes to find Rikku. Outside her enclosure are chests with two Ethers and eight Al Bhed Potions. Use the Save Sphere. Follow the linear trail north, then east, then north. Head southwest for four Hi-Potions and potentially Al Bhed Primer XIV. Return to the fork and head north.
- 4Sanubia Desert Central: Sand Worm and Zu are common in the northwestern ruins. Cactuar is rare. Small fiends appear in the main area. Head north from the start for four Hi-Potions. Go west to the fence for two Mega-Potions. Follow the fence east to a Save Sphere and eight Al Bhed Potions. Go west to the ruins for an Elixir in the southwestern corner. Return to the large structure passed when descending into the valley to find more items.
