Gagazet Cave

FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster guide · The underwater cavern inside the mountain

After defeating Seymour Flux on Mount Gagazet, the party enters this cavernous submerged tunnel network. To proceed through the cave, players must complete two trials: Wakka's First Trial of Gagazet (hitting a target with a blitzball) and Rikku's Second Trial of Gagazet (swimming to color-coded holes). The exit leads up to the summit path overlooking the ruins of Zanarkand.
