A shorter part, and another minigame we'll be leaving until no encounters.
The Sleepy Cait for Lulu is quite well hidden up in the NW behind a tree.
Nab the other chest on the way to the Central area.
The Central Area has another (not as well) hidden chest in the NE behind a tree.
We'll find Barthello who is looking for Dona along this route too.
You'll also be introduced to the Butterfly minigame by the birdman, but we'll save that for No Encounters. Get the Remedy Chest then head to the next screen.
Speak with O'aka and browse, but don't buy anything, he'll ask about the price. Say it's too pricey and you'll get a permanent discount.
Head through to the Spring and you'll get a Boss Battle with Spherimorph, I would recommend Tidus and Lulu as the main two party members, and swap between the others until you end up with Yuna.
Ideally you want Tidus to have an Elemental Strike weapon. The Spheirmorph will counter by attacking with the element opposite to the one it is weak to, so use the according -ra spell with Lulu, which will outdamage the HP it absorbs from Tidus by a lot.
In case you somehow haven't been paying attention to the elemental pairings in the game so far, Fire=Ice, Thunder=Water.
Yuna should be there for healing, and you can probably get away with Pray most turns.
As well as other rewards, you'll get Jecht Sphere 1/10 and be able to see a recording with Jecht, Braska, Auron on their pilgrimage. Jecht left these Spheres for Tidus to see, and they'll gradually reveal more about the original party, and Jecht in particular.
Head back to the save point and take the SE split for an Al Bhed Primer and end the part.
The next part is going to be heading ALL THE WAY BACK TO BESAID, so expect a long one, and just stick to the timestamps to save wasting time watching pointless stuff.
