FF Walkthrough

Bevelle Cloister of Trials

Bevelle's Cloister of Trials is the fifth temple puzzle in FFX. It's completely different from the others - instead of walking around, you'll ride a moving platform through the trial. Press directional buttons at the right moments to change where you're going. Don't skip the Destruction Sphere treasure (HP Sphere) if you want Anima later; you can't come back here.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Activate the Platform

Tidus at the entrance to the Bevelle Cloister of Trials

Push the pedestal in front of you to the center of the platform. That's it - you're now riding through the cloister.

2. First Stop - Collect the Bevelle Sphere

Removing the Bevelle Sphere from the recess

First stop. Grab the Bevelle Sphere from the wall recess, then push the pedestal back onto the track.

3. Second Stop - Insert the Sphere

Inserting the Bevelle Sphere to reveal missing track

Ride to area 2 and insert the Bevelle Sphere into the wall recess. A track section appears at area 3 - you'll need this later.

4. Third Stop - Second Bevelle Sphere

Taking the second Bevelle Sphere

Push the pedestal back onto the track and ride to area 4. Take the second Bevelle Sphere from the wall. Push the pedestal back on the track again.

5. Fourth Stop - Create the Pathway

The secret pathway after activating the pedestal

Head toward area 5. Press the directional button repeatedly as you approach the fork - timing matters here. Insert the Bevelle Sphere into the left wall recess. A glowing walkway lights up.

6. Fifth Stop - Glyph Sphere

Removing the Glyph Sphere from the wall

Push the pedestal and ride to area 6. Take the Glyph Sphere from the wall.

7. Reveal the Destruction Sphere

Revealing the Destruction Sphere location

Walk back across that glowing pathway from step 5. Put the Glyph Sphere into the far wall recess - this opens up a hidden alcove with the Destruction Sphere.

8. Light Up the Final Area

Inserting the Destruction Sphere to light up the final area

Grab the Destruction Sphere and head back to area 6. Stick it in the wall recess. The glyph at area 7 lights up.

9. Navigate to the Top

Pushing the pedestal to the opposite side of the pathway

Go back to area 5 and take your Bevelle Sphere out of the wall. Ride toward area 7, then push the pedestal across to the other side.

10. Hidden Treasure (Destruction Sphere)

Collecting the HP Sphere from the treasure chest

Climb the stairs. Insert the Bevelle Sphere into the wall recess and a treasure chest appears on the right. Open it for the HP Sphere.

11. Summon the Pedestal

Standing on the glyph to bring the pedestal up

Step on the glowing glyph under the treasure chest. The pedestal rises up to your level.

12. Complete the Trial

Pushing the pedestal onto the walkway to reach the Knight Lance

Push the pedestal onto the walkway and ride it to a chest with the Knight Lance - that's Kimahri's weapon. Exit right past the glyph. Done.
