Gain control of the airship and return to Sanubia Desert. There is a large rock with a picture of a Cactuar on it. Each time you examine the rock, you receive a clue to help find one of the 10 hidden Cactuars in the desert. After finding each one, you are challenged to game of “Red Light, Green Light.” If you successfully touch the Cacture before time runs out, you will fight it. No matter the outcome of the battle, you will receive a sphere bearing the name of the Cactuar. If you lose at the game of Red Light Green Light three times, you’ll only receive a Sphere del Perdedor. Return to the rock and place whichever sphere you obtained into the rock. After doing so, you will receive a new clue telling you where the next Cactuar is hidden. The locations of the Cactuars are as follows:
Name | Information |
---|---|
Oasis | Near the first Save Point. |
Sanubia Desert–East | In an alcove to the east, north of the tent with the Save Sphere. |
Sanubia Desert–West | Search the sign near the Cactuar rock that says 20% off. |
Sanubia Desert–Central | Near the ruins to the west. Look for two Cactuars running around the desert. |
Sanubia Desert–East | Near the Save Point under the tent. |
Sanubia Desert–Central | Trapped in a treasure chest in the far west. |
Sanubia Desert–West | Inside one of the sand whirlpools. You must exit and re-enter the area. |
Oasis | You have to go back to the oasis thru the dessert and watch a Cactuar beam up to the Airship then search in the outside deck for it. |
Sanubia Desert | Return to the Cactuar statue and the last one automatically appears behind you. |
After placing nine spheres of either type into the rock, the sandstorm protecting Cactuar Village will come to a stop. Search inside for lots of Cactuar encounters and two special treasure chests. One contains the Mercury Sigil. The contents of the other chest vary depending on your performance.
