If you gave the Awesome Sphere to the Youth League, you'll have to fight the guards here.
If you gave the Awesome Sphere to New Yevon, you can just walk right in.
Head up to the city and then into the New Yevon Headquarters.
Take a right as soon as you're inside and climb on the stone there to open a path on the other side.
Go back and head left this time.
Climb through the opening you just triggered.
Examine the lower pedestal and then return the main chamber again.
Take the lift down to the Trials.
Once you have defeated the first set of fiends, take a right to find Remedy x3 and Remedy x3 at the end of two dead-ends.
Return and go left this time.
Take the south path at the first cross and you'll find 3000 gil.
Take the north path to reach another cross.
Take a left here to get Hi-Potion x4.
Take a right to find two chests with Potion x8 and Phoenix Down x4.
Continue on to find another lift then climb the stairs and go right to reach the Antechamber.
Open the chest there to get a Chocobo Feather and then go right.
After jumping down the hole, approach the edge and then go up to jump down to the central platform.
As you approach the first tower, you'll be attacked by 2 YAC-13s.
Behind 4 of the towers you'll find chains leading back up to the outer ledges.
One leads back up to where you came down.
One has 500.
One has a Glass Buckle after defeating a YSLS-99 (alternatively you can sneak past it).
Another has a Pearl Necklace after defeating a YSLS-99.
Go to the 1st tower (nearest the chain you slid down) to activate it.
You'll have to defeat a YSLS-Zero.
Afterward, a platform will appear in the center shaft and security lockout 1 of 3 will be disabled.
Go to the 3rd tower (going counterclockwise) and activate it.
After defeating another YSLS-Zero another platform will appear and security lockout 2 of 3 will be disabled.
Continue going up, to the 5th tower and activate it.
Defeat Precepts Guard.
A third platform will pop out and you'll be informed that the security system has been disabled.
You can continue on from here, or you can stay and get the Ribbon but you must follow these instructions exactly:
- Go to the 6th tower and activate it, defeating a YSLS-99.
- Go to the 1st tower and fight Precepts Guard 4 times to move the platform to the correct position.
- Go to the 2nd tower and activate it, defeating another YSLS-99.
- Go back to the 1st tower and kill Precepts Guard 2 times.
- Go to the 4th tower and activate it, defeating Georapella.
- Go back to the 1st tower and kill Precepts Guard 3 times.
- You can now hop down all six platforms to the bottom where the Ribbon awaits.
- Note that you can fight Precepts Guard at the 1st tower and Georapella at the 3rd tower as many times as you like.
Jump to the middle platform and head into the corridor.
Jump up on the pillars to open a chest with Ether x4.
Continue on and after climb the next set of pillars and jump down from the ramp, there's a semi-hidden chest with Remedy x4.
Take a right at the fork.
Step on the center of the ledge to make a lift appear.
Ride it across the gap and grab the Downtrodder grid at the end.
Go back and take a left at the fork.
Climb up one pillar and then the other to make the bridge extend.
In the next room with the huge machine, go to the northwest corner to find Phoenix Down x5.
Go to the southwest to find a huge floor switch that turns the machine on and off.
Wait until it is aligned with you and the top of the piston drops down to nearly floor level, then stop it.
Jump up onto the piston and go to the center.
Go to one of the ledges in the back so that you can signal Rikku.
After the machine starts again, wait until the left-rear piston is at its highest position and the right-rear piston is at its middle position, then have Rikku stop it again.
Jump to the right-rear piston and then around until you reach the left-rear piston.
Jump to the ledge and on the left you'll find a Bloodlust.
Signal Rikku again, and wait for the left-rear piston to be at its lowest level and the right-rear piston to be at its highest level.
Climb over to the right-rear using the left-rear and go through the doorway to find a Wring.
Signal Rikku once more and wait until either of the rear pistons are at the lowest level.
Climb back to the piston you jumped up from and simply jump off it.
Go left to reach the next part of the labyrinth.
As you approach the wall, it will descend revealing 3 lifts.
Take the left lift and pick up the Hi-Potion in the chest.
Go south to jump back down to where there are only 2 lifts now.
Take the central lift and climb up to activate the switch there.
Go back and take the right lift to the upper level again.
Ride back down on the left lift and take the central lift again.
You'll find another switch to activate.
Go back to the upper level.
Climb up both pillars to gain access to the lift at the north end which will take you to the next section.
Using the pillars that you raised with the switches, you can reach the chest with the Dark Knight.
When you take the right path, you'll have to defeat Baralai.
Continue on into a huge room.
When you reach the central platform, you must fight Bahamut.
