Masterpiece Theatre

In order to get full story credit, you must beat the Experiment at least twice: once when its levels are all below five and once when they are all at 5.

After you defeat it the fist time, you'll be told about repair manuals and assemblies to repair and power up the Experiment so that you can fight it again. You'll also receive a Al Bhed Primer.

There are 5 repair manuals to find:

  • Djose - Trials, upper level: Speak to the man near the 5 pillars and when he asks for the password input MARNELA to receive The Spirit of Recycling.
  • Djose - Living Quarters, left side: Speak to the man there and he will give you How to Repair with Soul.
  • Djose Temple: Stand in the middle of the three monkeys on the right side of the entrance until they start jumping in unison, then press [X] to receive Repairing for Dummies.
  • Calm Lands - Ruin Depths: One of the chests inside has The ABCs of Repair.
  • Mi'ihen: Examine every machina, one of them is holding Everyman's Repair Manual.

To find the assemblies you must go digging in Bikanel. Every assembly type you find will contribute to the Experiment's levels:
