⚜ Battle: Equipment

weapons and armor

Bangles Lulu fights with dolls and her armor are bangles. Both can be customized after getting Rikku in the party. I reccomend keeping equipment that has empty slots for customizing and selling the ones that do not. Like if there is one slot and it's "waterstrike" and another has 2 slots and they are "waterstrike" and "empty", sell the one slotter. Makes money and keeps your inventory unclogged. Though, it's up to you how you wanna do things. There are a lot of variations of equipment for Lulu, so play with what works for you until you can get Onion Knight.

I think the dolls have something to do with Lulu's magic. When she is physically attacking she sets the doll down and it attacks. So either the dolls are actually alive or Lulu has puppeteer abilities. Maybe it's because of her red eyes. Those with red eyes are witches (not backed by Final Fantasy at all but it's true according to the Grimm Brothers). So it's possible that Lulu has unexplained abilities which wouldn't surprise me because she's a supporting character. Or these dolls could be animatronic like Cait Sith in Final Fantasy VII.

Moogle Moomba Cactuar PuPu Cait Sith Onion Knight

Her dolls are creatures from the Final Fantasy series. Moogles and Cactuars (general series), Cait Sith (Final Fantasy VII), Moomba and PuPu (Final Fantasy VIII) and Onion Knight (job class). These dolls are also used in the Mascot Dressphere in Final Fantasy X-2.

Getting the Onion Knight!

Sidequest time! Getting the Onion Knight actually isn't too bad. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CELESTIAL MIRROR! Once you can move the airship to look around, use the cooridantes of 12, 57 and go to Baaj Temple (there is another Aeon here). However, before you can go and do anything your underwater fighters have to fight a boss. I suggest stoneproof on all of their accessories! (Get stoned underwater and there is no healing it!) After the fight the Onion Knight is in a box located in the southern part of the area underwater.

Hmm? You're Onion Knight isn't useful? Do you have the Venus Sigil and Crest? If not let's go get them! Venus Crest is located in the Farplane after Jyscal Guado has been sent. Just run back in there and grab it (or wait until it lets you back into Guadosalam). And the Venus Sigil isn't too far away. All that's required is that you dodge 200 lightning bolts....consecutively. Which you are not allowed to leave in the middle of it! Easiest place in one the second screen, turn your sounds way down and use the flashing to time your dodges. Also no saving while dodging, it will reset the count. Now you have both!

And hopefully you've already changed the Cloudy Mirror to the Celestial Mirror. If not, go to the Calm Lands and complete the Chocobo Training then race in the Remiem Temple and win! You'll get the Cloudy Mirror which you need to take to Macalania Woods and find a woman who cannot find her husband. Help her out and eventually you'll end up at an alter where you can fix your mirror. And when you get crests and sigils take them here to charge them up!
